During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 254 The legacy of the superstar who released "Inception"

Domestic, Shanhe Building.

"Director Jiang, it's been a long time."

Wei Jin looked at the woman in front of him. In terms of appearance, she could score 70 points, which was comparable to Miss Cai.

There is a saying that several well-known strong women in the entertainment industry seem to be pretty good-looking. Chen Xi is like this, Zhong Lifeng is like this, and so is Jiang Xueyuan in front of her.

At present, the original employees have been dispersed and organized into various departments of Sunward Media, and Jiang Xueyuan has also become the director of the group's TV production department.

The previous director was indeed a little less capable, and basically relied on Wei Jin to promote business. In the workplace, it is normal for the capable to be promoted and the mediocre to be demoted.

"Mr. Wei, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. From now on, I will concentrate on working for the group."

Although it was their first meeting, Jiang Xueyuan was very grateful to Wei Jin. Whether it was the divorce signature fee or the important position given to him when he first arrived, he showed that he valued him.

"Director Jiang, you're welcome. From now on, the TV production department's year-end bonus will depend on you, hahaha."

Liu Yifei had not seen Wei Jin for several months. At this time, she seemed to have endless energy and strong fighting power, which made Wei Jin look at her. It seemed that the little girl still had great potential for development.

Shanhe Media had already obtained the copyright for this novel and had done the adaptation work before handing it over to Jiang Xueyuan, just in time to try out her skills.

Seeing fish when the pond is deep: "The wild ideas, dreams and reality, one link after another, Zhuang Shengxiao is obsessed with butterflies in his dream, it's great."

Counterattack: "I recommend everyone to watch the 3D version for an immersive experience."

Two naked bodies were rolling over on the big snow-white bed.

In this way, domestic data is particularly important.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, we will do our best."

Many actors and industry insiders also walked into the theater with a curious attitude, wanting to see this super masterpiece that cost 2.5 million U.S. dollars and has a luxurious main cast.

Although Zhouyi is gone, Jiang Xueyuan believes that with his own abilities and the powerful resources of Sunward Media, he will achieve great success on a new platform.

Evil Eyes: "Nolan is worthy of being a billionaire director, and the shots of Yellow Crane Tower are so beautiful. As a Jingzhou native, I declare that from today on, I am a fan of Nolan."

Theaters are generally optimistic about this hugely invested movie, so in terms of film schedules, they basically give considerable support. During the prime time period, almost all of them are "Inception."

"Then after you finish working on "Peacock Feathers", start "The Legend of Zhen Huan" as soon as possible. This will be our first shot next year. Whether it can make a name for itself is up to you."

The sky is as blue as water and flying dragons are flying in the sky: "Dreamy, gorgeous, and surreal!"

However, when they came out, the word "shock" was all in most people's minds. At this time, they only regretted why they didn't study hard in the first place. Now they can only use the word "awesome" to describe it.
-
In the capital, inside a villa.

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I will start this matter as soon as possible."
-
On November 11, the long-awaited "Inception" was released globally.

_Qiye_: "The special effects are so cool that the dream builder can create and destroy a city with just one thought."

According to the agreement, China Film Group will account for 10%, but in Asia, only China Film Group and Sunward Media will share the share, with a share of 28.5%.

After the first screening, a large number of viewers rated the film on Impression.com, with a score of 9.5, indicating that the film's reputation has exploded, and many netizens have left messages recommending it.

Major theaters are crowded, especially the 3D and IMAX theaters, which are even more crowded. Although the ticket price is much higher than that of ordinary theaters, the audience is still willing to pay for the visual feast.

Domestically, peers in the industry are paying attention to this film, especially Han Sanping, who has decided to invest in it.

Despite this, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie could not be resisted.

After sorting it out, Liu Yifei lay on Wei Jin and said with a bit of resentment:

"Brother, I miss you so much. You have been gone for too long this time."

Even though I was satisfied just now, it would be very hard for anyone to endure being empty for so long.

"Yifei, I miss you too. I'll stay with you these two days, okay?"

Gently holding the girl's face, Wei Jin said with some pity, "It can be seen that the flowers still need to be watered frequently. When can we get what we want when we sleep together?"
"By the way, Yifei, the box office is almost out, let's take a look."

"Ah, yes, yes, I almost forgot."

At this point, the little girl felt a little embarrassed. She was originally waiting to see the box office, but she couldn't help but satisfy her craving first.

After forcing herself to stand up, Liu Yifei took her laptop, logged into Impression.com, and started refreshing the web page. She was very concerned about the box office. Although she was not the one responsible for the box office, no matter what, she had a share of the credit for this movie.

Looking at the little girl's smooth back, Wei Jin adjusted his position to hold her in his arms, and massaged her with both hands.

Holding the soft skin in his hands, Wei Jin was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep. Suddenly, Liu Yifei jumped up, startling him.

"Brother, it's out, it's out. 3880 million!"

After hearing the first part, Wei Jin couldn't help but laugh. It was too embarrassing to come out just by touching it.

But after hearing the numbers, Wei Jin felt confident. He had been a little worried before. After he changed the lineup and some shooting locations, and adopted some 3D shooting methods, it was already quite different from the original work. Can it live up to the previous life? The results are not yet known.

Now it seems that it is very likely that there will be a better ending.

"Okay, Yifei, the data is out, let's go take a shower, look at you, you're still sticky."

"Brother, you have the nerve to say it, it's not all your fault."
-
"Inception" continues to surge at the box office.

The next day, 4580 million.

On the third day, 4360 million.

In late November, during this not-so-popular period, "Inception" earned a box office of 11 million in its first three days, which is a miracle.

At the same time, overseas box office sales are also reported back to China.

The cumulative box office in Asia is US$6800 million, the box office in North America is US$1.18 million, and the box office in other regions is US$9300 million.

Recently, the focus of various media outlets has been on this movie. As soon as the overseas box office results were announced, they began to rush to report on it.

""Inception" grossed US$2.79 million at the global box office in the first three days of its first weekend, topping the global box office list!" "China and the United States co-produced the science fiction blockbuster "Inception," creating a movie-watching miracle!"

"Tickets for the 3D movie "Inception" are hard to find!"

As a science fiction blockbuster released globally, the box office data of "Inception" in its first week is undoubtedly very impressive.

Seeing this number, Han Sanping's face was full of smiles. You must know that the threat of piracy is much smaller for this type of 3D blockbusters. As long as the quality is excellent, the box office harvest period will be quite long, which means that the domestic box office is very likely to Breaking through 7 million, setting a record, and the global box office may even exceed 10 billion.

Although China Film cannot participate in the North American share, the profits in other regions around the world are definitely huge.

The person who is even happier than Han Sanping is Liu Yifei. As the only Chinese actress in "Inception", she has received great blessings.

She originally had many high-end endorsements, but with the popularity of the movie during this period, brand activities have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

For a time, the little girl was very busy, and it could be said that she was in pain and happiness.

Time has entered early December, and the promotion of "Tongtian Empire" has already begun in full swing.

Mr. Xu personally led a group of creatives to promote the company. This was his first battle after joining Sunward Media, and he had to fight it brilliantly.

You must know that if the box office is not satisfactory, not only will he lose money, but more importantly, his face will be ugly. After all, Wu Ershan and Lu Yang have higher box office results than him. As a big commercial director in Hong Kong, he will not Allow yourself to rest on your laurels.

Naturally, Wei Jin had no way of knowing Old Monster Xu's mental journey. He was currently at Shanhe Ink, concerned about the later events of "Passengers".

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"Mr. Wei, according to the current progress, it will take about four months."

The technician thought about it and gave an answer.

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. The efficiency of Shanhe Ink Painting was not far behind that of Hollywood.

"Okay, follow your plan and don't rush the work."

"clear."

After leaving Shanhe Ink Post-production Center, Wei Jin returned to the office, picked up a stack of invitations on the table and flipped through them.

He receives invitations to many various events every month, but whether he can be seen depends entirely on luck. After all, everyone with whom he has a real relationship has his phone number.

After a while, Wei Jin couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Weiping was really capable of bending and stretching.

When "The Golden Jacket" was so badly targeted, not only have I not publicly scolded myself in these years, but now I have sent an invitation to the premiere of my new film, I am very clear-headed.

Wei Jin was thinking about whether to give him some face, but his cell phone rang, and it was Wu Dun.

"Mr. Wei, I hope that I can attend the premiere of "Chilling". Haha, Zhilin misses you very much."

Wei Jin then remembered that this movie will be released on the 9th, and will be produced by Changhong Film and Television and China Film. The former is Wu Dun's company. It seems that Wanwan Capital has been developing well in the mainland in the past two years. They are all on the line of China Film.

"Mr. Wu, I'm really sorry. I just returned to China in the past two days and the company has a lot of business."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin sneered. Wu Dun actually wanted to use Heizelin to seduce him. He was simply out of his mind.

After thinking about it, since I don't want to participate here, I shouldn't participate at all. Otherwise, Director Han will lose face and press the phone on his desk.

"Old Chen, please help me reply to the new crown. I won't go."

On December 12, "The Hunt" was released in North America.

With the appeal of Matt Monda and Wei Jin, as well as the gimmick of the Golden Bear Award-winning film, 2200 pictures were opened on the first day, setting a record for a literary film.

Such a large distribution effort also made the box office data very impressive, with the first daily revenue of 770 million US dollars.

The imdb score is also very high, about 8.5 points, which is not as good as the peak score of 8.8 points for "Room", but it also shows that the movie has a good reputation.

What is even more surprising is that as the weekend entered, the movie box office showed explosive growth, with 2100 million reported on the second day, and even more exaggerated on the third day, with 2500 million reported.

For a literary film like "The Hunt", the three-day box office on its first weekend was as high as 5370 million. This is even catching up with the weekend box office of "Inception" in North America. Wei Jin felt it was unreal when he heard the news. After all, What went wrong?

Soon Hunter's explanation came.

"Boss, you are really amazing. The box office comes from Michael Jackson's fans. They think this movie is a voice for their lost idol, and they voluntarily contribute to the movie's box office."

Wei Jin was in a daze. The legendary superstar Michael Jackson passed away in June this year, but the "child molestation" he encountered during his lifetime was really very similar to the plot of the movie, so it makes sense.

You must know that the number of fans of this movie is terrifying. Even if only one tenth of the fans in North America enter the theater, there will definitely be an explosion of energy beyond imagination. This is unintentional.

"Well, this is an unexpected surprise. Hunter, please continue to follow up on the prize competition."

This time it is a purely English film, so the process of competing for the Oscars is much simpler. With a public relations team, Wei Jin does not have to worry too much. Perhaps Michael Jackson’s legacy will bring some unexpected gains to this Oscar competition. Woolen cloth.

"Understood, boss."

"Inception" is still harvesting box office, with a domestic box office revenue of 2.09 million in the second week. After 10 days of release, the domestic box office has accumulated 3.37 million.

The cumulative box office in Asia was 1.51 million US dollars, the North American box office was 2.48 million US dollars, the other regions were 2.05 million US dollars, and the global box office was 6.04 million US dollars, ranking first in the global box office that week.

The media has predicted that this film will break the domestic box office record and even reach the 8 million mark.

Looking at the box office data, Han Sanping's old face broke into a smile, while the secretary beside him was tapping on the calculator to calculate China Film's current earnings.

At the same time, the high-profile "Three Guns" held its premiere in Beijing.

Although Zhang Weiping was not popular with others, many people attended the premiere for Lao Mouzi's sake.

It was also at this time that everyone realized that the investment in this film was only 2800 million, which was the smallest among all commercial films directed by Lao Mouzi.

As expected, Zhao Jiaban received almost no salary for the film, as previously reported by the media.

With this production cost and Lao Mouzi's reputation, the film will definitely make a lot of money no matter what. No wonder Zhang Weiping dared to choose this schedule.

Wei Jin had never seen this movie in his previous life, and only knew that it had a bad reputation. However, after browsing the Internet, he didn't see any reviews.

When I inquired about it, I found out that only ten minutes of trailers were shown for this premiere, and the main film can only be watched in theaters after it is released.

Shaking his head, Wei Jin knew in his heart that this was Zhang Weiping's last struggle.
