The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 333 Controversy
Three days after the movie was released, the box office was a hit. The net box office revenue in Shanghai alone reached more than 10,000 yuan per day.

This doesn’t include other cities.

The release cycle of a movie takes at least a month, or even longer.

Generally, box office revenue will reach its peak in one week, and then continue to decrease, according to the past box office equity model.

Three to four times the total box office revenue a movie makes in its week of release.

This is normal. If a movie becomes a hit and has a box office blowout, then the box office revenue will be difficult to predict.

A blockbuster movie's box office revenue may remain high for two to three weeks before tapering off.

Cheng Mo asked Loulan Film and Television to take the high-quality route and resolutely not allow shoddy production and allow losses. Anyway, the boss said that there is no shortage of money. Even if there is a loss, it can be replenished from other places.

This is the confidence.

However, there are also discordant voices. After all, competition is everywhere. If your movie becomes popular, there will be more jealous people.

Cheng Mo is not stupid. The purpose of the Japanese introducing "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not only to see the movie make money, but also to use the movie to promote the so-called Sino-Japanese friendship.

In fact, this magical love story film has been favored by the Japanese and they want to introduce it to domestic screenings. This kind of film has no political color to begin with, and the material is from the strange novel "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and the background is fictional. .

Dongying Co., Ltd. sent people over to negotiate with Loulan Film and Television.

Cheng Bijun, who has always been domineering, naturally wanted Japan to issue a ban on the screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story" regardless of the facts.

This low-level analogy is simply ridiculous, but many people believe that the lethality is huge.

Fortunately, this statement was issued in time, and someone has already pointed out to Cheng Bijun that the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" alluded to the Wang family's defection to Japan.

This was especially jarring to the ears of those who followed the Wang family and began to demand that "A Chinese Ghost Story" be banned from continuing to be shown.

Cheng Mo didn't take it seriously at first. Such poor pacing was simply far-fetched. If you want to make an analogy here, as long as there are good guys and bad guys in a movie, it can be involved. Is that all innuendo?
However, this rhythm seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Someone will have a wrong idea.

The script was completed before Wang released the pornographic film, so how could there be any suspicion of alluding to Wang? This is simply ridiculous.

Someone published a movie review in a newspaper, saying that the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" was an allusion to the "Wang Family"'s investment in Japan.

Cheng Mo immediately asked Tang Tao to publish a statement in the newspaper in the name of Loulan Film and Television, condemning this unwarranted pacing behavior, and at the same time proving his innocence, stating that the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" had been completed before December last year.

Appeared with rhythm.

The Wang family is the Dryad Grandma, and the Japanese are the Montenegrin Old Demon. Nie Xiaoqian was married to the Montenegrin Old Demon by the Dryad Grandma. It was the Wang family who betrayed the country and the nation by publishing "erotic videos"...

However, the Japanese side would not listen to her. Moreover, the Japanese side also wanted to control the Wang family now, so naturally they were not as responsive as before.

Therefore, as long as Cheng Mo's conditions are not excessive, Japan will agree to it.

Cheng Mo also knew that it would be difficult for him to work in Japan if he refused.

After discussing with Wenqiu, he asked the leaders of the Southern Bureau for instructions, and finally agreed to cooperate with Japan and send the film to Japan and Ryukyu for screening. After all, it is a source of income. There is nothing wrong with making money from the Japanese to arm the Chinese army to fight the Japanese invaders.

This matter can be considered satisfactorily resolved.

Immediately afterwards, Loulan Film and Television announced the filming of its third movie, "The Big Sword King Five" officially started filming.

After filming two movies related to ghosts in a row, I finally changed the subject matter and the director was also changed, to Chang Ishikawa of "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple".

As for Loulan Film and Television's meritorious director Fei Mo, Cheng Mo has arranged to prepare his next film, which is tentatively scheduled to be a comedy.

Loulan Film and Television has entered a new period of rapid development. Cheng Mo also personally decided to organize an actor training class to train his own actors and prepare to start his own star-making work.

The popularity of the two movies brought Cheng Mo considerable wealth, most of which he invested in expansion.

He founded "Loulan Film Weekly". Although it cannot be compared with the influential pictorial magazine "Liangyou Pictorial" for the time being, in time, it may not be able to reach its height, or even surpass it.

Cheng Mo, the boss behind the scenes, has the status of a Qing Gang leader and a detective of the Political Division of the patrol house. He knows both black and white. Who dares to cause trouble for Loulan Film and Television?
Moreover, Cheng Mo also has a good relationship with Lu Jingshi, the boss of Boss Du's Hengshe in Shanghai, and big bosses like Huang Jinrong and Gu Zhuxuan are also trying to save their face.

The only one he couldn't deal with was Ji Yunqing.

But Ji Yunqing couldn't touch him. He was not afraid of suppression on the road. He was on an equal footing with you, someone had a gun in his hand, and he had public power.

Now the only people who can make Cheng Mo fearful and unable to compete are the Japanese.

All joking aside, if Cheng Mo is given another year or two to develop, he will be able to compete for the position of Director Hua of the Public Settlement based on his strength.

He now controls a publishing house, a film and television company, a large film and television shooting base, and indirectly controls a pharmaceutical factory, with abundant cash flow.

All assets are valued at four to five million.

Although in Shanghai, having a net worth of four to five million is nothing, there are many people in Shanghai with this net worth, and they are much richer than him.

But there are very few people like him who are rich and powerful, especially since he doesn't do side business and all his money comes from the right way.

People like Lu Liankui, Tan Shaoliang, and You Agen, no one has a net worth of several million, or even tens of millions. They are deeply rooted and have many disciples. However, most of the money they make is from serious business, and most of it is not through legitimate channels. Come.

All with bloody original sin.

Innocent and clean, this is Cheng Mo's label. In the whole of Shanghai, if you want to find someone like him, there is really no one like him.

Time has entered July, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It has been almost two years since the July 7th Incident, and the concession has begun to prepare for the war. Last year, the military commander launched many attacks against the Japanese and puppets at this time, especially in July. On the seventh day, many targets of the Japanese army were attacked, and traitors who had taken refuge with the Japanese invaders were also assassinated.

Anyway, within the three days before and after, everyone in the patrol room canceled their vacations and all staff were on standby to strictly prevent attacks and mass gatherings.

Cheng Mo received inside information that Cao Lijun, acting district chief of Juntong Shanghai District, was ill and hospitalized. It seemed he had appendicitis and needed surgery.

Now the person in charge of the work in the Shanghai area of ​​military reunification is secretary Zheng Xiuyuan.
