Entertainment, I just like making movies

Director of China Film Distribution Department, Chen Yu’s home.

After the CCTV New Year's Day party was over, his wife Lin Qing walked into her daughter's room, took a look, covered her with the quilt, yawned and came out to find him still sitting on the sofa.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"You go to sleep first, I'm waiting."

Chen Yu turned off the TV and went to the balcony to light a cigarette. Suddenly, he felt nervous and expectant in his heart.

The first-day box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" will be out soon, right?

This time the box office statistics are mainly based on Hengyu. Only a few people in the office area of ​​China Film Distribution Department work overtime to forward the data reported from all over the country to Hengyu Media.

Even he, the director of China Film Distribution Department, could not get the news immediately.

His wife Lin Qing knows what her husband is waiting for. Ever since Fang Ziheng debuted, China Film has invested in each other's movies every year. Whenever the box office is released on the first day, her husband is waiting for news.

She came to Chen Yu's side, took her husband's arm and leaned closer, and said softly: "Don't worry, the box office at midnight will exceed 10 million, and the box office on the first day will definitely not be anywhere close!"

"It's different this time!"

Chen Yu pulled back his arms and hugged his wife, exhaled the smoke and shook his head.

"The Secret of the Dragon" is scheduled to be released on December 29. Faced with the total box office performance of the national film market at the end of the year, whether it can reach the 16 billion mentioned by the director of the Film Bureau last time is a matter of trembling at the last moment.

The bottom line of 1 billion is the expectation of China Film and Film Bureau leaders for "The Secret of the Dragon" and is also the minimum standard.

Only by completing this task can you submit a perfect answer to the higher level!

As the head of China Film Distribution Department, his position is responsible for all movies distributed and released nationwide.

He is responsible for the success or failure of "The Secret of the Dragon", not to mention that China Film Group also invested in the film.

Chen Yu still has a calculation in his mind. If he submits a perfect answer to the above, he will be more confident for next year's sprint.

I don’t know how many people are watching the position of deputy director of China Film and Television, and some of them have connections and backgrounds that are no worse than his. Even if he has the support of Director Han, they don’t dare to take it lightly.

There were many details, and he usually did not mention them to his wife. His wife, Lin Qing, worked in the discipline inspection department and was busier than him. The couple rarely discussed their respective work situations at home.

Ring bell

A clear and pleasant ringtone rang. It was a call from Yang Sheng, a group leader of China Film Distribution Department.

Chen Yu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the screen and asked directly: "The box office on the first day is out, how much is it?"

"Mr. Chen, "Search for the Dragon" has exploded, with 118.5 million soft sister coins, surpassing "Transformers 3"!"

On the phone, Yang Sheng's voice was very high and he muttered in an excited tone.

"Okay, okay!"

"Director Fang really did not disappoint!"

Chen Yu laughed twice and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. His originally calm expression quietly changed, and a joyful smile emerged.

Lin Qing also smiled and pulled him towards the bedroom: "Hubby, are you happy?"

"Well, relieved!"

Chen Yu took the opportunity to put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table and said subconsciously.

Lin Qing's beautiful eyes blinked, and she pulled him towards the bedroom bathroom and said charmingly: "On Singles' Day, I bought two new sets of underwear."

"It happens that we have a day off tomorrow, so we can sleep in."

"Didn't you agree to go to your parents' house tomorrow?" The smile on Chen Yu's face stopped, and his tone was trembling.

It's a pity that no matter how much his liver trembles, he can't escape his wife's request.

Pay public rations, and don’t miss a drop!

Like Chen Yu, "The Secret of the Dragon" was released by the other party.

Wang Zhongjun, chairman of Huayi Brothers, also laughed happily after receiving the news.

Although Hua Yi only participated in the investment and distribution of movies, the box office profits were not as good as those of Hengyu Media.

But who knows that Huayi is a listed company? With the publicity and distribution in place, the movie box office continues to rise, and Huayi's name will also be spread to the secondary market.

When investors get the news, they will definitely not miss this good news.

It can be predicted that Huayi's stock will grow as rapidly as the box office of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" in the next month.

Huayi's market value has exceeded 40 billion, and it will rise to 50 billion or 60 billion.

Tsk tsk

Wang Zhongjun was happy when he thought that money came so easily!

One o'clock.

The news that "The Secret of the Dragon" exceeded 100 million on its first day spread like a storm to the entire entertainment industry.

Everyone who pays attention to the movie box office has obtained the data compiled by Hengyu Media for the first time through connections.

118.5 million!

A number that reaches the pinnacle, makes people envious, jealous, and desperate!

Fang Ziheng once again set a record!

It seems that since his emergence, breaking movie box office records has been as easy as eating and drinking.

Countless colleagues in the industry, while envious and jealous, couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

At the same time, the major media outlets that had been waiting also received the news. They were shocked and quickly published the soft articles they had prepared in advance.

At eight o'clock in the morning, almost all entertainment media headlines clearly reported the first-day box office results of "The Secret of the Dragon".

"The best in the world! "The Secret of the Dragon" grossed 118.5 million on its first day, breaking the record of "Transformers 3" and becoming the first-day box office champion in the history of Chinese-language films!"

"It's so scary! With 118.5 million on the first day, "The Secret of the Dragon" pushed the Lunar New Year season to another peak, and a major commercial director once again set a new first-day box office record!"

"The King is Back! "The Secret of the Dragon" premiered very well, with an absolute box office of 118.5 million, announcing to the world who is the real king of the Lunar New Year movies!!!"

"118.5 million on the first day! Fang Ziheng and "The Secret of the Dragon" swept the Lunar New Year festival, beating two directors Zhang Yimou and Xu Ke, and vowed to defend the annual box office championship!"

"The opening is at its peak! "The Secret of the Dragon" airborne into the year-end Lunar New Year period, surpassing "Transformers 3" at the absolute box office, becoming the new first-day box office record holder for Chinese-language films!"

"Fang Ziheng's new film "The Secret of the Dragon" broke the record, grossing 118.5 million on the first day, overwhelming the world, and eclipsing all other movies in the same period!"

More than a hundred entertainment media outlets across the country focused on reporting on the first-day box office performance of "The Secret of the Dragon", spitting and shouting at the top of their lungs.

At this moment, the media and the movie were of one mind and took the initiative to praise Fang Ziheng as God and the big boss who brought them traffic.

The editor-in-chief ordered that all major media outlets send their most capable interview teams to the imperial capital to follow up on Fang Ziheng and the film creators of "The Secret of the Dragon"!

A rainbow banner was hung up on Weibo early in the morning, and the record-breaking number of "The Secret of the Dragon" was hung up.

News software APPs owned by the three gangsters, satellite TV entertainment information programs across the country, and various self-media emerging on the Internet are also not idle, vying to report on the shocking first-day box office of "The Secret of the Dragon".

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you!

There is no need for Hengyu to invest more publicity expenses. The entire major entertainment-related platforms spontaneously help promote "The Secret of the Dragon".

When a movie achieves dazzling results, the relationship with the media enters the honeymoon period.

The producer provides money in the early stage, and the media helps in the early stage. In the mid-term, the film and the media benefit from each other and share the popularity.

Later, we will look at the earnings and mood. If the earnings are good, continue to brag about them. If the earnings are not high, the media can change their mouth and say something negative.

Issues of face and morality are never within the scope of entertainment media!

Popularity and explosiveness are always the goals they chase!

The largest bedroom on the second floor of the duplex building.

Liu Qianqian was wearing a silver nightgown with fluffy messy hair, leaning against the head of the bed with pillows.

The young lady was holding her mobile phone and browsing the audience reviews of "The Secret of the Dragon", making silly laughs from time to time.

Fang Ziheng was nestled in her arms, one hand on her slim waist, still sleeping soundly.

After playing mahjong last night, the two were in a good mood after learning about the first day's box office results, and had a friendly game before going to bed.

The young lady was extremely excited. Like the proud phoenix, her fighting power was unprecedentedly powerful. She killed Fang Ziheng from his horse for the first time.

"820 million plus 1.36 billion, plus 170 million for "The King of Kung Fu", let me calculate how much it is."

Liu Qianqian murmured to herself, opened the calculator that came with her phone, and happily entered the box office of several movies she starred in.

Didi

After several button clicks, she smiled, lowered her head and held back her eyes. Fang Ziheng added another 1 billion to the total box office of "The Secret of the Dragon".

3.55 billion!

As long as "The Secret of the Dragon" breaks one billion, the total box office of mainland movies starring Liu Qianqian will reach 3.35 billion yuan!

Whoa whoa..

When Yang Xue saw that big-breasted girl, what could she do to argue with me?

So cool!

Liu Qianqian felt comfortable in her heart, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, the corners of her mouth opened up, and she smiled with a hint of teeth.

"Honey, darling."

She patted Fang Ziheng's cheek, trying to wake him up and share her joy.

"Don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while!"

Fang Ziheng murmured, rubbed his chin in her arms, turned over and continued to sleep.

Um..

Were you really that tired last night?

Liu Qianqian was a little confused as to why Fang Ziheng's body and bones suddenly failed.

moment.

She thought of something and stared down at Fang Ziheng who was carrying his back.

This guy, he won't be cheating on her behind her back these two days, right?

snort..

If you dare to eat secretly, I will drain you dry first! !

Just do it.

The young lady turned Fang Ziheng over, lifted the quilt and got in.

Within ten seconds, Fang Ziheng suddenly woke up.

"Sissi, what are you doing, preventing people from sleeping?"

"I'm not going to sleep with you, I'm busy with mine!"

after an hour.

Fang Ziheng held his waist and went downstairs, followed by a beautiful young lady who walked with a breeze.

Zeng Li and Song Yi were having breakfast downstairs and chatting while eating.

Today everyone has to leave first, and Song Yi has to report to the crew of "Xiu Chun Knife" to start the early promotion of the movie.

Zeng Li also has his own things to do. In addition to work, he also has to review materials to prepare for joining the Chinese Opera as a teacher next year.

She has decided to reduce her workload from next year to at most one movie a year, working as a teacher and nursing her children at the same time.

After discussion among several departments of Hengyu, they planned to allocate most of the resources that Zeng Li had vacated to Song Yi and Sun Li.

Make them into first-line movie celebrities and top TV celebrities below Liu Qianqian and Yang Xuejian.

Sun Li and Deng Chao have already obtained their marriage certificates, and they are rare actresses with acting skills under Hengyu. They are already first-line film and television stars, and the resources are the fastest to achieve results.

Wang Ou and Jiang Shuying will succeed Song Yi and Sun Li, and the company intends to promote them to become first-line film and television stars.

The vacated resources were filled by Li Qin, Nazha, Tang Yixin, and Zhao Liying.

Dilraba is still in college, and her path is different from others. The company set her up to film two second- and third-level supporting roles in movies a year, which was all used to hone her acting skills.

Fang Ziheng took the eight-treasure porridge from Zeng Li, took a sip from the spoon, and said with a smile, "Sister Li, we will take you back first later."

"No, I drove the car." Zeng Li narrowed his eyes at him, secretly annoyed that he was deliberately causing trouble.

She drove here the day before yesterday and parked it downstairs. She even went out to buy groceries yesterday.

This guy was so bad, he deliberately pretended not to know, and even courted her in front of Sissi and Tiezi.

Beauty Zeng was nervous, fearing that Liu Qianqian and Song Yi would catch some clues.

In fact, the two girls had already seen it.

They are not stupid. Which female artist often comes to stay at the boss's house? Besides having a close relationship with the boss, what else can she have?

Why do Wang Ou and Jiang Shuying never come to the duplex building, and only the three of them come often?

But as you might have guessed, neither of them wanted to clarify their relationship. Liu Qianqian was her real girlfriend and Song Yi was her little cotton-padded jacket.

The reason is simple. Liu Qianqian never regards Zeng Li as her opponent. She always keeps her eyes on Damimi.

Moreover, she was very sure that Fang Ziheng and Zeng Li had been together for a long time, and she was the latecomer.

Not to mention Song Yi, Fang Ziheng’s number one crush and most die-hard fan.

In Lin Feifei's words, Tiezi was a silly girl who didn't even know she was being sold by Fang Ziheng and even helped him count the money.

After breakfast, the four of them went out and went their separate ways.

Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian rushed to the hotel and took Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Xia Yu and others to officially start the promotion of "The Secret of the Dragon" after its release.

Along with her, there is her assistant, cousin Fang Rou.

After half a month of promotion, everyone's schedule was very full. In addition to traveling all over the world, they also had to accept interviews with TV stations and major portals.

Among them, the road show consumes the most time and energy. After running all day, my calves are shaking, and I feel that my body is no longer my own.

In the car heading to the Fourth Ring Road, Fang Rou took out a document, her big eyes flashed, and she said crisply: "Brother, this is the film schedule sent by theaters across the country this morning.

It is expected that from 7pm tonight to January 8, 2012, the national average film schedule of "The Secret of the Dragon" will remain above 71%. "

Fang Rou is very happy that her cousin's movie has become a hit again and achieved impressive results.

In the past three months, she has been training in the company to learn how to be an assistant, and she just returned to her job today.

Fang Ziheng's eyes were surprised. He took the document and looked at it, and immediately smiled bitterly.

"Year of Dreams" has been so greatly affected!

In the document, in addition to the film schedule of "The Secret of the Dragon", the film schedule of other movies in the same period is also listed.

Affected by "The Secret of the Dragon", "The Year of the Dream" suddenly experienced a big dive after ten days of success. The single-day box office fell below 15 million yuan, and the theater chain adjusted some of its film schedules.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which was released for 23 days, has lost its stamina, its film schedule has also been slashed, and its single-day box office remains at around five to six million.

However, both movies have benefited from the Lunar New Year bonus. The total box office of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has exceeded 650 million. With ten days to go, it is very likely to exceed 700 million.

In addition, "Dragon Flying Swords" has also achieved good results in Asia, according to data reported by Yindu Agency.

The total box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xiaori, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam is expected to exceed 200 million.

Yu Dong was among those who were happy. As early as the premiere of "The Secret of the Dragon", he confirmed with Fang Ziheng that Bona would fully undertake the celebration activities of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" without Hengyu paying a penny.

The mainland box office of "Year of Dreams" is slightly weaker than that of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". It has already exceeded 400 million. Judging from the degree of decline, the total box office easily exceeds 500 million, but it is difficult to break 600 million.

As for the overseas release situation, Fang Ziheng had discussions with Deng Wendi.

Decided to wait for the completion of "The Secret of the Dragon" and launch "The Year of Dreams". The main director, Lao Mouzi, joined forces with him as a film producer.

After a few glances, Fang Ziheng made a calculation in his mind. With the results of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", he could definitely sell overseas copyrights.

Even like "The Year of Dreams", it can make a fortune by being released overseas by 20th Century Fox.

Xu Ke can also be regarded as one of the banners of martial arts movies. I believe Deng Wendi will not refuse. After all, the quality of the movie is there. Who wouldn't like it if he can make money?

"Master, the call is coming!"

"Master, the call is coming!"

A royal sister's voice suddenly sounded, so soft and charming that those who listened could get goosebumps.

Fang Ziheng, Fang Rou, and the driver Fang Zhongxin were all stunned.

Only Liu Qianqian on the side lowered her head and covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking non-stop, overjoyed.

She had set the voice on her cell phone in the morning, holding her throat to pretend to be a royal voice. It sounded so alluring and made people think about it.

Fang Ziheng didn't recognize the young lady's voice for a while. He just thought it was the dubbing she found somewhere. He took out his cell phone speechlessly and answered the call.

"Hey, Andy, what's up?"

"Lao Fang, the first-day overseas box office is out!"

"How much? Does it surpass Edge of Tomorrow?"

Fang Ziheng said in a deep voice, raising his finger to silence the car.

Liu Qianqian and Fang Rou remained motionless, blinking their big eyes and eavesdropping with their ears raised.

Fang Zhongxin also slowed down the car and looked expectantly in the rearview mirror, waiting for the good news on the phone.

"$6.82 million!"

"It opened in 2,600 theaters in North America and screened on 5,500 screens at the same time. As of 12 noon today, the box office on the first day totaled US$6.82 million!"

On the other end of the phone, Andy lost her usual calmness and indifference, and her voice was slightly urgent. You could feel the surge of joy in her heart through the screen.
