superstar director

Chapter 571
When Ning Sheng's family was on a leisurely vacation on the beach in the United States, the summer movies in the global film market were still fiercely competing for the money in the hands of the audience. In order to attract more audience's attention, the promotion party also exhausted all means .

However, in this year's China's summer vacation, no matter how other movies try their best to promote and hype, they can't shake the dominance of a phenomenal work. Hundreds of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Ning Sheng's "Fire and Rescue" has been gradually released from major theaters around the world, and the final box office figures are being counted one after another. The summer war has nothing to do with him.

Of course, it would be wrong to say that there is no relationship at all, because Ning Sheng’s Xingtong Studio is one of the investors of "Wolf Warrior 2", so after the two-week box office breakthrough of "Wolf Warrior 2" approaches 40 billion , the media across the country are frantically reporting on how this military action movie did all of this!

Of course, the various film and television companies, investment companies, and Ning Sheng's Xingtong studio that were investors were also exposed, and then some people exclaimed as if they had discovered the reason for the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2", that is, this movie Ning Sheng participated in the investment of the movie!
As long as Ning Sheng participates in any work, no matter how disliked it was before, the final result proves that everyone is wrong, and Ning Sheng will never fail!

Of course, no one would take this kind of report seriously, but it's just that everyone can't help but say a few bitter words on the Internet, like "Ning Cheng has made a lot of money now!" It's just gossip!

Time slowly passes through August and enters September. With the arrival of the school season, the summer holidays around the world have begun to wrap up!
The same is true for China's summer vacation, "Wolf Warrior 2" has been extended, and its single-day box office has been unable to break through 55 million, but its cumulative box office of [-] billion has already become the biggest dark horse of this year!

And as the hero of this film, Wu Jing, the director, screenwriter, and starring role, has become the most beautiful and prosperous artist, and as Wu Jing mentioned Ning Sheng's help and support to him many times in these interviews, Encouragement, Ning Sheng, the director who just returned to China with his family, has been mentioned many times by the media and netizens again, and they all praised his good vision!

Then many media wanted to find out Ning Sheng, and then pull Wu Jing over to let the two great directors who cherish each other accept an interview together, but it's a pity that Wu Jing was already exhausted from the continuous road show last month. He can hardly get out of bed, and Ning Sheng is even less interested in interviews. He is interested in one thing in the detachment now, and that is to calculate the income of "Rage Rescue"!

Yes, by September, the global box office statistics of "Rage and Rescue" have been completed. Huaxia used to get 41.3 billion Huaxia dollars in the box office, while the box office in North America reached 20 billion Huaxia dollars, plus Europe and China. With a total box office of 14 billion in other parts of Asia, the total box office of "Rage and Rescue" in the world has reached 75 billion!
When seeing this number, not to mention other people, even Ning Cheng himself was shocked!Even converted into US dollars, this is a box office figure of over one billion US dollars!

Compared with Ning Sheng's previous movies, whether it was "Swordsman", "Changing Face" and "Hurricane Rescue", in fact, this "Rage and Rescue" is not better than these movies, and even in some places, for some viewers, , "Rage and Rescue" is far less exciting than the previous ones. You can see this by looking at the ratings of these movies.

But why is the global box office of "Fire and Rescue" so much higher than other movies?
Among all of Ning Sheng's films, except for "Swordsman: The Undefeated in the East" with a domestic box office of nearly 60 billion, which raised its global box office to nearly 80 billion, the global box office of other movies is mostly around 50 million. between 60 million and [-] billion.

Although compared to before, the total movie market is larger now, more people are willing to spend money to go to movie theaters, and there are more theaters. These are the reasons that will make the movie box office higher, but after careful consideration, Ning Cheng, Still attribute the super high box office of "Rage and Rescue" to the popularization of this film, or to the global audience, this movie has no threshold for viewing movies, and anyone can understand it and fully understand what the movie wants to show. , There is no cultural threshold or barrier!
And after doing this, if the quality of this movie can be guaranteed so that most of the countries will like it, then it seems understandable that the global box office is going crazy.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that those Hollywood movies that can sweep the world are like this, such as "Titanic", a most common love story between a rich lady and a poor boy that adapts to the global audience, but in the artistic processing of directors and actors Next, you can make a sensation in the world!
And "Rage Rescue" just coincidentally met all these requirements at the same time, and it has good quality, plus Ning Sheng's previous reputation and popularity, and the hype of Emma and their husband-and-wife file, etc. The expansion of publicity strategies , just got such an exaggerated box office figure.

The original investment situation of this film was that Julia’s studio invested 5000 million Huaxia coins, then Ning Sheng and Letian Film and Television invested 5000 million and [-] million respectively, and then three domestic film and television companies such as Hantang and Jinbei shared a share. [-] million, and Disney paid [-] million in Hollywood.

Therefore, out of Ning Sheng's total investment of 40 million yuan, Ning Sheng's studio monopolizes [-] million yuan, and can get a [-]% dividend!
Of course, for the 75 billion, the taxes and fees stipulated by the laws of various countries must be paid first, and then half of it will be distributed to the theaters, and then only about 37 billion will be left, which is reduced by half. The line wants a little more distribution ratio, but the theater chain, like the film and television company, can't wait to put all the money in their pockets, so every time the two parties negotiate, one can imagine the situation where swords are drawn and fire and water are incompatible.

Although there are only 37 billion left, dividends cannot be distributed immediately. The global publicity expenses and the total expenses of various countries must be added up to nearly 32 million, and then there are only 40.00 billion left, and then multiplied by 12.8 %, that is [-] billion!
Xinxin is kneeling on the coffee table in the living room and making necklaces for her good friends with her own hands. This is her school-opening gift for her friends after school starts!
After Ning Sheng roughly calculated the income, even though his net worth has already exceeded tens of billions, but a movie can earn more than one billion, which still makes him deeply moved.Especially when thinking of the previous life, it took a month of hard work to earn 1000 yuan. The gap is really impressive!

"Papa, do you think the necklace I made is beautiful?" Xinxin next to her didn't know his father's emotion at all. The little girl carefully picked up the shell necklace she had just made with both hands, and looked at her father excitedly. The expression on that little face was simply saying "Papa, praise me!"

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Ning Cheng immediately ran away from all thoughts, touched her long hair with a smile, and praised, "Beautiful, Xinxin is so amazing, you can even make necklaces by yourself—"
-
Xinxin's school has started, and Ning Cheng's father has no other work for the time being, so he is responsible for taking the little girl to and from school while resting. As for the media and many insiders asking about his new movie plans, Ning Sheng's answer is that he doesn't want to shoot for the time being. , would like to rest for a while.

Time passed day by day, and Ning Sheng seemed to be immersed in the happiness of being a baby daddy. From time to time, netizens and the media could run into Ning Sheng's family in playgrounds, parks, shopping malls, hotels and other places, and it really made them feel happy. Expose it from time to time, so that it is not forgotten by everyone too quickly.

When the time gradually enters the cold winter, after eating Laba porridge, and another Lunar New Year stall arrives, the busy people suddenly realize that another Spring Festival is coming soon.However, many people looked up at the sky and recalled the harvest of this year. Some were full of confidence, some were a little bit unwilling, but there were more people who looked blank, as if they didn't remember what they had done. What, what gains!
However, no matter whether people who are busy outside are ready to welcome this Spring Festival, they have to start secretly planning their plans to go home!

However, at this time, many people suddenly discovered that there seems to be very little news about the Spring Festival Gala this year. In the past, at this time, there have been various reports and speculations about the Spring Festival Gala.

But now, the latest reports on Doubled Online are all news from a week ago. So, what is going on?
Many people asked around, but the director team of the Spring Festival Gala did not respond!This made people feel that something was wrong with this year's Spring Festival Gala, and then one day, a piece of news solved all the doubts everyone had!
"The chief director of the Spring Festival Gala is under too much pressure and has been admitted to the hospital for treatment due to fatigue. However, the leaders of the Imperial TV Station are at a stalemate because of different opinions on the successor. As a result, there is no candidate for the chief director. The preparations for the Spring Festival Gala are forced to come to a standstill!" It is the latest report from The Sun, China's largest entertainment media!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!Suddenly, netizens all over the country are boiling!The Internet is a mess!

"If a director is so exhausted that he has a heart attack and is hospitalized, this Spring Festival Gala is for fun!"

"The Spring Festival Gala is a hot potato, and it's not easy for anyone to do it!"

"Yeah, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have continued to decline in recent years, falling below 20% last year, creating a record low. The leaders of the Imperial TV Station must be under a lot of pressure, and then they transferred the pressure to the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, so the chief director It’s okay to fall ill, the muddy water of the Spring Festival Gala has long been done by no one!”

"That's right, the Spring Festival Gala has been held for decades, and the shows will always be those ones. The cross talk sketches are always sensational, and they are getting uglier. People who watch them are embarrassed to death. The singing and dancing performances are like a large nightclub. What? I can’t even see the aesthetics, the only thing that has improved is perhaps the more and more gorgeous stage effects!”

"Since the development of online video, TV programs will definitely be affected, and the decline in the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala is almost certain, because there will be diversion due to the live broadcast of the Internet, but even so, the Spring Festival Gala has reached the current level. Didn't do anything to cause it?"

"Watching the show, if the show is not attractive to you, then you can't blame others!"

"It's so fucking noisy, it's fine now, the chief director has no one to do it! You guys look at the fart in the future!"

"If you don't watch it, don't watch it, you won't watch the Spring Festival Gala long ago!"

"If you don't watch it, I'll still watch it. My parents and my children will watch it too!"

"But which big director will direct the Spring Festival Gala now? I'm afraid no one will ask for trouble!"

"If it's not a capable director, even if you find someone else to make up for it, can you still watch this year's Spring Festival Gala? The ratings will definitely continue to hit a record low, right?"

"Well, over the years, the chief directors of the Spring Festival Gala have been changed one after another like a lantern. I have used all the top-notch gala directors in China, and I have also found famous directors in the film and television industry. , all kinds of people, almost all have come. But, the result? One session is not as good as the previous one, the ratings are lower than the previous one, the word-of-mouth is worse than the previous one, and the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala has almost never been re-elected. It’s the one who took the blame, and when the blame is over, go down, and a new director will take the blame in the new year, and the cycle repeats.”

"I'm afraid I can't make it this year?"

"I'm on the verge of watching it, and I guess it won't be aired anymore. Especially when the new director comes up, he must have his own ideas. The original program may not pass the test! When the time comes, the new program will have to wait for several months!"

"That won't be the case. The Spring Festival Gala will definitely be going on. Moreover, the TV station's leaders can't really ignore it. They will definitely put a lot of demands on the director, such as keeping the original program selected by the director!"

"The most important problem is that there is no one left now!"

"The little director has plenty."

"There are so many young directors, and they all want to direct the Spring Festival Gala, but the leaders also have to be impressed. This is not a place where everyone can come. If you want to direct the Spring Festival Gala, you must have some achievements, right? You must have some ability and achievements. Otherwise, who would have convinced you? Even if you are the leader of the TV station, if you suddenly pull out a newcomer who has no skills, I’m afraid it won’t work! Actually, don’t look at everyone scolding fiercely, every Spring Festival Gala complains about them, They satirize them every year, and there are still many people shouting not to watch it, I remember shouting this for four or five years, right? But in the end? On the night of the New Year’s Eve, don’t we still look forward to it? Do you stay in front of the TV? Alas, everyone has feelings for the Spring Festival Gala, so they hate iron and steel. In fact, they all hope that the Spring Festival Gala can be done well, and they all have expectations."

"Yeah, my childhood memories are all Spring Festival Gala."

"Well, how good it was then, I miss it."

"Let's see who they invite to rescue this time."

"I can't think of a suitable candidate anyway."

"I used a TV director last time, so why not just use a movie director this time? Choose a big name, such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Gangpao, Cheng Kaige and other famous directors. I don't believe it. With the strength of the whole country, even one The party is not good enough!"

On the Internet, there was a lot of noise in the media because of the candidate for the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, but Ning Sheng took advantage of the weekend to take Xinxin to the playground during the day, had dinner at the hotel in the evening, took the car directly to the cinema, and then brought Xinxin to the cinema. Let the little girl continue to contribute to the box office for her sister Aisha!

There was no other way, the little guy wanted to watch the Mandarin version of "Frozen" on TV, so Ning Cheng had no choice but to bring her here.

Speaking of which, the global screening of "Frozen" has long been over, and it took so long to release in China. It was because the film company failed to negotiate a contract with the importer. Later, they didn't want to find an ordinary time to release it, so they simply It was dragged to the Lunar New Year file, but now it seems that their choice is right. This animation that is popular all over the world has now won the championship for two consecutive weeks in the Chinese New Year file, and the momentum is very good!
