China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 195 God is silent, as if everything is decided by Him

In the early morning of December 12, many people were awake, and everyone was waiting for the box office data of "The Rescue" and "The King of Kung Fu" to come out.

Although "Taken" had a high box office on the first day, it was also because "Mei Lanfang" had been released for more than half a month and other movies could not resist the beating.

After all, the promotion of "The King of Kung Fu" was top-notch, so on the day of the premiere, a lot of shares were indeed distributed.

Han Sanpin, the mountain eagle, hadn't slept for a long time. He always went to bed early. After all, he was old and his eyes couldn't stand staying up late.

But today, he was still waiting for the data in the study.

The daughter of the Han family is also waiting with her father. She is more excited than her father. Just this year, she has just entered the directing department of Nortel to pursue a postgraduate degree. As for Guan Ling, she only heard the name but never saw him. Live up to his own legend.

This legend has almost never attended a class since he was a graduate student.

But I passed every exam.

Now that the New Year's Day holiday is coming soon, the Han family's daughter took a little leave and rested for two more days.

Ding ding ding, when the time pointed to one o'clock in the morning, the phone suddenly rang.

The moment he answered the phone and heard the data, Han Sanpin looked at the Han daughter and said, "You can go to bed. Guan Ling wins."

"How much did you win?" The Han family girl jumped up excitedly, "How much is the specific box office?"

"The box office of "Taken" dropped, and it got 2400 million, while "The King of Kung Fu" took 1900 million at the box office on the first day."

"That's not much." The Han girl's excitement just now suddenly became a little discouraged.

"That's because you don't know how much marketing Huayi has invested in this, and how many of their artists have booked the show." Han Sanpin snorted, "In short, Huayi doesn't have to look back at all this time Already defeated."

"That's good." After the Han family girl got the accurate information, she immediately started sending messages to the QQ group.

In Han Sanpin's study, a series of QQ messages quickly came out.

Looking at the excited daughter of the Han family, Han Sanpin thought for a while and said, "You have just entered school not long ago, and there are still nearly three years until graduation. In these three years, you should study hard and practice hard. After graduation, come to China Film and Television to make arrangements for you." , if you want to go to Lingyun, I won’t object.”

"Really?"

After receiving Han Sanpin's promise, the daughter of the Han family became happy again.

"We have to keep our word. I will definitely not come to China Film Group when the time comes. I will definitely go to Lingyun Media and hang out with my senior brother."

"Fuck with your dad, as if your dad can lose you." Han Sanpin was furious. This girl has not graduated yet, and her words are a bit strange and irritating.

"Dad, you can't do anything wrong to me." The daughter of the Han family said coquettishly, "It's just that my level is not good enough. Dad, please first shoot the blockbuster gift drama you want to make next year. After the filming is completed, you can invite me over. . If the filming is not good, I won’t consider it at all.”

"I'm just saying this to you, I'm going to make a sound for you to listen to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"!"

Han Sanpin pointed at the Han girl's nose, "You girl, you have hard wings, how dare you look down on your father."

The girl has grown up and has her own ideas, and her elbows have turned outwards.

"This is not to look down upon, but it's just that any one of the current directors in China is far behind Director Guan."

The Han girl didn't blink her eyes and seemed to be saying something ordinary.

Han Sanpin was so angry, he thought viciously in his heart.

"I still have to compete with your father. I'll ask Guan Ling later if he has time. I really have to ask him to advise me on "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Then let's see if you, girl, can tell that it was him who did it. of."

"Okay, go to bed quickly." Han Sanpin warned his daughter, "It's not a movie you made. Look how excited you are."

"Go to bed later. Everyone in our professional group is calling Senior Brother Guan awesome."

"Girls, don't say bad words."

Han Sanpin tossed his sleeves and went to bed first.

The moment he walked out of the study, Han Sanpin knew that from this day on, the leader of the film and television production company had changed hands.

There may be many leading companies, but there is only one leading company.

In the past, this was Huayi.

Now, Huayi is history.

Not just because of this movie's sniping.

But starting from "Baby Project", and then to "Mo Gong", "Assembly", "Kung Fu King"...

It was a false start at the beginning, which is acceptable.

But the follow-up should not be repeated again and again.

What's more, this time and again is a real movie confrontation between the two parties. Even for Huayi, a lot of black drafts have been issued in the middle, which will definitely affect Guan Ling.

But even so, he still failed.

After four movies, Guan Ling poached Huayi's producers and actors, directly draining Huayi's salary.

They lost, completely.

……

Huayi,

The two kings, Feng Xiaogang, Li Bingbing and others, were all in Wang Zhongjun's villa at the Dashankouzi toll station at the airport, anxiously waiting for the news.

When he took the first-day box office in his hands, the first thing he saw was his own box office, and Wang Zhongjun's heart skipped a beat.

Why is it only 19 million?

It didn’t break 20 million.

too low!

This value is far lower than all of them realize.

In the eyes of the two kings, 30 million is their real expectation, and the minimum cannot be less than 25 million.

After all, Guan Ling's box office took in 39 million on its opening day.

That's appeal, and the box office on the opening day is usually very high, because many fans will go against all odds to see the movie.

For example, Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, and Guan Ling all have their own die-hard movie fans, and these people will always go to the movies on the first day.

Li Lianjie, Li Bingbing and others certainly have their own fans.

But this data directly slapped them in the face.

And it was a loud slap in the face.

Let's look at the box office of "Taken" on the second day. Although it was more than 10 million lower than the first day's box office, the total was still more than 5 million higher than "The Kung Fu King".

This data completely stunned Wang Zhongjun on the spot.

Even for the two of them, this is a foreseeable result.

But when the real data was listed in front of them, they still inevitably felt a sense of loss.

Along with it, there is also a deep sense of powerlessness.

The smile on Wang Zhongjun's face disappeared visibly, and his eyes instantly became dull.

Wang Zhonglei, on the other hand, also fell silent.

Yesterday, he vowed to spend money and use marketing to make the single-day numbers of "The King of Kung Fu" the best. However, after spending a lot of effort, he found that his box office was still lower than Guan Ling's. , the feeling is really unpleasant.

Li Bingbing looked at the data blankly, his cold face full of regret.

"Why, why did Fan Bingbing suffer such a bad luck? Why did Zhou Xun go too? Why was I the only one left? What did I do wrong? I just wanted to win the role. That’s all.”

Li Bingbing had no idea why all this had come to this point.

She didn't know that it had nothing to do with her.

Because Wang Zhongjun had already decided on the investment, and Guan Ling had already decided on the role. On the premise that there was no need to find another role, Wang Zhongjun blocked Guan Ling at the airport and wanted Liu Yifei to be replaced by Li Bingbing.

Only then did Guan Ling turn his face.

It's not that they are looking for a role, but that they are obviously relying on Guan Ling to make money, but they want to use capital to force Guan Ling into submission.

In other words, I want to use a larger body than Guan Ling to squeeze Guan Ling back.

Of course Guan Ling wouldn't tolerate it. Feng Xiaogang looked at the data, closed his eyes, and recalled the phone call he made with Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, are you going to take down Huayi's sign? Don't hit me when you take it down... No matter how awesome you are, Director Guan, can you really take it down?..."

"Boy, Wang Shuo wasn't as crazy as you back then."

"Little guy, please don't make a few popular movies, and your tail will rise to the sky."

"Okay, after you finish these few words, I have really decided on Huayi's sign. Don't say that you, Feng Xiaogang, can't keep it, even ten Feng Xiaogangs can't keep Huayi's sign. What I said... "Guan Ling was still angry at that time.

Feng Xiaogang laughed at what he said.

The temperament of a child.

Could such a big company be brought down by you?

The words I said to Guan Ling on the phone are still vivid in my mind.

Since then, the other party has been moving forward.

Huayi, including itself, has been going backwards.

The other party messed up the listing of Huayi because a sum of funds was not in place, causing Huayi to make one mistake in the listing process and miss the best opportunity.

But Huayi is still the strongest team.

Until now, all the window paper was finally bloody and torn open and displayed in front of Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang.

The competition between a Hollywood blockbuster that was two years in the making and a movie that Guan Ling completed and released two months after Cannes.

Huayi was completely defeated.

"Guan Ling... isn't arrogant. I don't know if ten Feng Xiaogangs can save Hua Yi, but one person is definitely hopeless." Feng Xiaogang muttered to himself.

Everyone in the villa knows very well that from today on, the dragon's throne will be handed over to others.

And he, Feng Xiaogang, also knew it very well.

From now on, even if he is called the Great Director again, he will always be dotted behind Guan Ling and others.

This made him very unhappy, and he remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

……

Yu Dong did not accompany his wife Zang Lilu, but went outside to pick flowers.

The flower he picked is also a boss, but this boss is young, has short hair, big eyes, and is quite elegant, but the company is not big. It is called Qiaoqiao Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd., and it has been established for five years.

It has always been a small company invested in TV series.

And her boss, Jin Qiaoqiao, is an undergraduate actress from Nortel.

The two have known each other for a while. Yu Dong, who is high-spirited, and Jin Qiaoqiao, who needs to make progress, have transformed into old tree roots and mottled city gates, squatting day by day and singing happily every night.

Soon, Yu Dong felt the ultimate theorem of a man's development that domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers.

And now, New Year's Day is coming soon. I will definitely go home to see my wife on New Year's Day. In the past few days, I must spend time with my lover.

After a rampage in a luxury hotel suite, Yu Dong answered the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong hugged Jin Qiaoqiao excitedly.

"I won the bet."

Yu Dong recalled the scene when he took the initiative to fall out with Hua Yi. Although Director Han suggested it, he relied on his recognition of Guan Ling's ability and stood on Director Guan's side without any hesitation.

There have been previous returns.

But this time, when the box office came out, Yu Dong knew that the war that the industry was paying attention to was finally coming to an end.

Because in his opinion, this is just the beginning.

……

It’s not just these bosses or directors who haven’t slept yet?

In a certain portal website, the editor has never slept.

"How come the box office data hasn't been released yet?"

"Statistics are too slow. You said that if there is an Internet in the future, all the data from all over the country can be collected at once. How awesome would it be?" Some people began to imagine.

"It's not a theater, so it's difficult. By the way, who do you think will win?"

"It must be "Taken". I went to see the movie and it was so exciting. Even if this movie doesn't get promoted, it will definitely be a big hit, not just because of Guan Ling, but mainly because of the rhythm and excitement. I haven't watched it in many years. I’ve seen it in the mainland. The chaff is ground so finely. It’s a surprise.”

"I think so too. The plot of "The King of Kung Fu" is too dull. It's not like "Hurricane", it's so enjoyable that you'll die!"

Suddenly, a buddy stood up.

"Here comes the data."

As soon as these words came out, people around him immediately surrounded him.

These editors are eager to see through.

They have been squatting firmly for a long time, waiting for it.

The battle between Ling Yun and Hua Yi has long been one of the hottest topics on portal websites.

And these days, the war between the two has been fought from the inside to the outside, and from the outside to the inside. As of today, the dust has settled for the time being, right?

The first-hand data obtained seems to prove this.

Several people were analyzing the data while looking at the watch. In the next time, they will publish the data as quickly as possible.

I don’t know how many media outlets are like this portal.

I have been waiting for the box office results of the two movies to be released.

And soon, the emergence of data in the media made everyone in the industry aware of this situation.

Compared with the first-day box office, it is difficult to compare, but compared with Huayi, a semi-crushing trend has been formed.

It depends on how it develops next.

"This box office seems to be only half a pound, but this is the second day's data compared with the first day's data. From this point of view, as soon as this box office comes out, Huayi is completely hopeless. Because of the reputation of "The Rescue", it is not "The King of Kung Fu" can't be compared."

"Win! Win! Completely win!"

"Huayi spent two years bragging about the lust of an American boy, but the result was nothing compared to Cheng Long's ability to penetrate Paris by himself!"

"Brilliant!"

……

Most of the people who learned the data unanimously expressed their admiration.

Shanghai Film Group.

Ren Zhonglun got the news early in the morning.

The secretary sent him this data.

"God is silent, as if everything is decided by him." Ren Zhonglun spat out a sentence.

"What? Mr. Ren, what did you say?" the assistant asked, not understanding.

Ren Zhonglun let out a long breath.

"Last year, when I met Director Wang Jiawei, I met Mr. Jin, the editorial director of "Shanghai Literature", and he said this casually at that time."

Ren Zhonglun said, "The meaning of this sentence is that this guy is really good at pretending, he is just like God."

Ren Zhonglun scratched his head and changed his elite image.

"You said, this guy gets angry when he wants to, wins when he wants to win, fights Huayi when he wants to, and he even wins. Why does this guy have such a big head?"

He cursed.

"Hurry up and find a few elites in Shanghai who are capable and committed to the directing industry, and choose them to study at Lingyun Media. Shanghai Film Academy will provide the money." Ren Zhonglun said, "Didn't he say that he wanted to cultivate billion-dollar club directors? At this time If we don’t train a few Shanghainese people, it will be too late in the future.”

"Just based on the symbol Guan Ling, who will be in trouble in the future!"
