rising director

"Watching movies is like a frenzy. No one can beat the world. "Infernal Affairs" caused madness in the mainland. Theaters queued up to watch the movie. It was the most popular movie viewing season since "Titanic" was released in 98! Eight days after its release, it has already raked in 5700 million Renminbi, launch an impact towards the [-] million yuan mark!"

"'I'm sorry, I'm a policeman' has become the most popular conversation nowadays. "Infernal Affairs" is popular all over the country. The Dongguang area alone contributed nearly 1000 million box office. The word-of-mouth is even praised by the audience. Department. In Beijing, the eight-day box office was 620 million, and in Shanghai. "Infernal Affairs" also made nearly 600 million."

"Following the 1.2 million domestic theme "Life and Death" [-] million, the second Chinese movie breaking [-] million is coming soon!"

"A billion-dollar director, Wan Xiaohu is at the forefront of all Chinese filmmakers!"

As soon as the mainland box office data came out, it shocked almost all filmmakers, 5700 million, and this is only eight days of box office.Breaking 1.2 million is not a problem at all.At that time, "Choice of Life and Death" was [-] million yuan, and everyone was not shocked, because this movie sold tens of millions of government tickets alone, and cheated too much.

Now there is finally a Chinese-language movie, which is actually going to exceed [-] million, so it's not surprising.

In fact, the Chinese market is not without movies that have actually broken 94 million. After the market reform in 95, a Hollywood action blockbuster "True Lies" achieved a score of over 96 million in 98. In 3.5, "Simple Task" starring Cheng Long "It also broke through [-] million.The craziest thing is "Titanic" in [-]. It was released for several months, and the popularity continued. It achieved a peerless box office of [-] million yuan and became an indelible shame for Chinese filmmakers.

But at that time, it was the period when the audience in the mainland was the hungriest, VCD and DVD had not been popularized on a large scale, and piracy was almost non-existent.The audience is even less appetizing.After entering the new millennium, piracy is getting stronger every day.Both Hong Kong films and domestic films are being rejected by the audience.

In this case, the brilliant score of 5700 million in "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be against the sky.

With such achievements in the mainland, it is inevitable to expand the film schedule, and it is only a matter of time before another success is achieved.

The box office data in Hong Kong is also marked by mme time.com.

""Infernal Affairs" was so popular in Hong Kong for 2700 million Hong Kong dollars in eight days. It exceeded everyone's expectations, and the word-of-mouth was beyond imagination. Everyone wildly praised this as a Hong Kong film to save the market. Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Huang Qiusheng, and Zeng Zhiwei are all praised. The mainstay of the Hong Kong film market!"

The entire Chinese-speaking region was enveloped by "Infernal Affairs".

The crowd of moviegoers has not decreased.The scale of screenings is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

With such a good momentum, it is natural to continue to build momentum. Liu Dehua and other leading actors are flying around non-stop, promoting in all countries and regions where "Infernal Affairs" will be released.

Only Wan Xiaohu was hiding in the capital, watching the news and reviewing movie reviews.

The number of people who rated "Infernal Affairs" on Mtime.com has soared to 13687. The rating has dropped a lot from the previous 9.7 points, but it still maintains a high level of 9.3 points.

Member [Peerless LV Hermit] rated it five stars: "The best Chinese movie, classic, perfect."

[Xingxiang Abao] also: "I have to give five stars for these men!"

[Lost with the Wind] Five stars: "The undisputed classic of Hong Kong police and gangster films."

[Spirit of the Saber] Four stars: "I watched it twice in the cinema, and I feel more and more memorable. I like Liang Chaowei, with a faint smile and melancholy eyes. I always feel so lonely. It's a pity that I died in the end. I lost one star!"

[Wujian Scholar] Five stars: "There is no doubt that Wan Xiaohu saved Hong Kong movies. Master Xing's "Shaolin Soccer" has too strong a personal style and is not of reference value. The theme of "Infernal Affairs" is old-fashioned, but it makes Hong Kong movies Seeing the hope of learning from it, just wait and see, ghost movies will definitely be popular for a while!"

[hll] Four stars: "It's great, although I don't think it's the best Hong Kong movie, the best one is made by Wang Jiawei. Tony Leung, I just think he's a good guy! I love how hard he is."

[It's so good to die] It's rare to give three stars: "Everyone agrees. It's just a bunch of big names. Everyone is playing deep and restrained."

[cdop] Five stars: "Edison Chen will become Liu Dehua when he grows and grows..."

Seeing the praise from netizens, Wan Xiaohu is in a good mood. The only regret is that although Mtime.com has opened three types of ratings, there is still only one type of rating for registered users.Fan-level star user ratings, because too few people have passed, they are not rated.The old-fashioned scoring system of film critics is even more neglected.

It is only 2002 now, and many media people have not yet realized the power of the Internet, especially those in the film media. It is estimated that they have not thought of the connection between the Internet and movies.I just occasionally come to Mtime.com to check box office data.It is a long and difficult road to turn mme time.com into a temple of Chinese movie data.

While reading the film reviews, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

"Mr. Wan, Manager Xu from the investment department asked me to inform you that all the members of the investment department are already waiting for you in the conference room." The company secretary came in and said.

"Xu Weijin is back, I know. That's right. I'll give you a task. You help me collect the development data of domestic cartoons in the past few years. The more comprehensive the better, I will give it to me in three days."

"Okay, Mr. Wan."

Only then did Wan Xiaohu get up and go to the conference room.

Dandelion as a film company, in addition to making movies.Naturally, we also need to develop investment business and invest in more film productions.The investment department is dedicated to assessing potential film projects, formulating investment plans, and finally submitting them to Wan Xiaohu for review and making a decision on whether to participate in the investment.

"Director Xu, have you gained anything from this trip to Russia?" After sitting down, Wan Xiaohu asked expectantly.

Xu Weijin is in his thirties and five years old, and was the distribution director of the original Changying Film Studio.Later, he resigned and went into the sea to set foot in the field of TV drama investment, but he failed, and instead lost a lot.When Dandelion recruited the director of the investment department, Wan Xiaohu didn't like Xu Weijin very much at first, thinking that he was just a loser.

However, after the interview, Wan Xiaohu immediately changed his mind. Perhaps Xu Weijin's vision was not good.But for the operation of the film, the operation of the film market in various countries.They all have a deep understanding and are very skilled in business.Dandelion has him at the helm, Wan Xiaohu, and the high-level vision almost doesn't matter, as long as the business level is good, Xu Weijin was hired immediately.

"Mr. Wan, this time the harvest is good." Xu Weijin was wearing glasses.The person is very calm, "We are in Russia, and according to your instructions, Mr. Wan, we found Sergei Lukyanenko, the author of "Night Watchman", but he has already sold the right to adapt the film... Although we flew a lot Twists and turns. But finally got the copyright."

The novel "Night Watchman" is a science fiction novel published by Lukyanenko in 1998. It won the No.2 Singbridge Award for Fiction and the Wanderer Award for Best Novel.

The story is that in Moscow today, there is an organization called "others" (ohers), which includes two factions of light and darkness.Composed of magicians, warlocks, wizards and vampires with supernatural powers, the balance of power was maintained through an ancient pact between the two factions, until one day a young boy with unlimited potential appeared, and the two fought to break the balance. The powerful forces launched a war between humans and demons, and the world began to collapse...

Basically, this is a fantasy novel rather than a science fiction novel. The reason why Xiaohu Wan is interested in this novel is because "The Night Watchman" was later made into a movie and became the box office champion of Russian local movies. A sign of film revival, word of mouth is also very good.

However, the cost of the film is less than 400 million US dollars, but it has reached more than 3000 million US dollars worldwide, making a lot of money with a small cost!

In Wan Xiaohu's eyes, he didn't make much money, but he could still make a lot of money anyway. Besides, "The Night Watchman" was followed by a sequel "The Day Watchman", and the copyright was later bought by Hollywood, but it was delayed. Duskbringer and The Last Guardian were not produced.

This is a commercial film that can work successfully.

Because I photographed Xu Wei and went to Russia to see if I could get the copyright.

Only after I went there did I know that the copyright of "Night Watchman" has been sold to Polgon Production Company, but Lukyanenko has a stubborn temper and is dissatisfied with the script adapted by others, and Polgon Production Company is not really interested in it. The novel was adapted into a movie, so it was stranded.

Recently, Polgon Production Company is even planning to sell the copyright, and they don't want to keep it. They want to sell it to Russia's "CCTV", which is Channel 10,000, and they are still negotiating.So Xu Weijin quickly stepped in, and at a fee of not too high, that is, [-]+ US dollars, included the copyright of "Night Watchman", and signed a sequel copyright agreement with Lukyanenko.

"Very good, Director Xu, the next step is thanks to you and your team to go to Russia to find a director and crew to film "Night Watchman". I will give you a budget of 400 million US dollars, and it must be completed."

"it is good!"

At the end of the meeting, Wan Xiaohu rubbed his chin and smiled silently.

The most common intrusion method in Hollywood is to buy local copyrights, and then let local directors make movies. It is still a local movie, but it is indeed Hollywood behind it that makes money.This is Wan Xiaohu's first use of Hollywood techniques on himself. The Russian film market is completely open to the outside world, and it happens to be used as an experiment for Dandelion.

""Infernal Affairs" makes money, and it makes money through word of mouth. How can it be as fast as capital operation!"

Stretching, Wan Xiaohu laughed loudly: "I, Wan Xiaohu, want both fame and fortune! Tsk tsk, director of a hundred million yuan, I'm looking forward to it!"
