The perfect future of rebirth

Within a week of its release, "Mobile" had a cumulative box office of 500 million, while "Looking for a Gun" had only a fraction of the other, 480 million.

Don't underestimate this figure, which means that if nothing else happens, the total box office of "Mobile" can reach at least 500 million.As for "Looking for a Gun", I'm afraid it won't even reach 1000 million.

In short, Future Film and Phoenix Film and Television, as investors, can earn at least 1000 million.

As for "Looking for a Gun", losing money is certain, the only difference is how much you lose.

To be honest, Yu Dong thought that there might be a box office gap between the two films, but he never expected that there would be such a big difference.

You know, before this, Ma Dajun was known as the first-class director of commercial films in China, and Lu Chuan's script was also very good. In Yudong's mind, although Jiang Wen is also a good director, but this time In the confrontation, it is obvious that my side has the upper hand.

But it is a pity that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

The box office was like a resounding slap in the face, making Yu Dong realize that there are some things that are useless to take for granted.

At this moment, Ma Dajun remembered Zhao Fusheng's face.

He recalled that he once went out to dinner with a group of wine and meat friends. At the wine table, a topic was discussed at the wine table. At that time, someone said: "The most powerful killers in the world are not those who look fierce on the outside, nor are they People with knife tattoos and colorful clothes are full of posture, not to mention those who play with knives and guns at every turn to show how arrogant and domineering they are. It is those who look like nothing unusual on the outside, but can take it off at the next moment. People who take other people's lives and still don't change their faces."

Well, it's a sad story.

Ma Dajun recalled the time when he was with Zhao Fusheng, and realized for the first time that the young man who slowly said "who do you think you are" with a faint smile on his face was the truly terrifying existence.

From the beginning to the end, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Wen, thinking that he was his biggest opponent and enemy, but now, he realized that the opponent he really needed to care about was Zhao Fusheng.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Dajun calmed down his emotions and looked at Yu Dong: "Mr. Yu, my contract has expired. If you want, I plan to come over. Let's prepare for the next movie."

It is said that repeated battles and repeated defeats have different meanings from repeated defeats and repeated battles, which is actually true.

Whether it is Yu Dong or Ma Dajun, they are not the kind of people who give up lightly. To them, the failure of a play is just a loss of money, and the next thing is more important. of.

In business, it is normal to lose money. As long as you don't lose money all the time, you still have room to turn around.

Movies are actually a business.

Not only did Yu Dong and Ma Dajun think so, but Zhao Fusheng and Ye Jing also thought so.

So, when Ma Dajun and Yu Dong had already started planning the next play, Ye Jing and the others were sitting in the office of Phoenix Film and Television, thinking about what to do next.

"Amazing! It's awesome!"

Ye Jingzhi complacently said to Zhao Fusheng: "You boy, didn't you have a premonition that the box office of this movie would be a big hit?"

Of course he was happy. This year's Chinese New Year movie box office is sluggish, regardless of foreign blockbusters, only domestic movies, at least six or seven out of ten movies lose money, and the remaining one or two are just guaranteed.

Movies that can make money are almost rare.

Movies like "Mobile Phone" are highly topical, even triggering a storm of public opinion. The box office of movies that have been discussed has been rising steadily, and even profitable. In this year's movie market, it is definitely thriving.

The most important thing is that through this drama, Ye Jing's reputation in the circle has been further improved, and many people are contacting him.

There is no one who doesn't like being valued. Although he is a student of the big courtyard, the original purpose of engaging in Phoenix Film and Television was just a game between a few good friends, but Ye Jing is not stupid, he has the opportunity to make money, and has the opportunity to make himself better. Success, of course he is happy.

Therefore, when Ye Jing looks at Zhao Fusheng now, he is pleasing to the eye no matter what he sees.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly: "Brother Ye, I was only angry at the time. Who knew that this drama would become so popular."

The drama "Mobile Phone" is really popular now!

"On Christmas Eve, I watched the movie "Mobile Phone." Going deep, even if you have to go too deep, you have to show absurdity and blackness. Unexpectedly, this time, Jiang Wen's latest contribution is neither deep nor shallow, basically realism, which makes people feel creepy."

"The film "Mobile" gives people a very tired feeling from the beginning to the end. The only outline of the story I can see is how a middle-aged man makes his life crash. This is scarier than a horror movie. It’s more real than documentaries. In real life, there are not too few people living the same life as Yan Shouyi, but too many. This makes this film no longer funny, but critical realism.”

"I was frightened by this film, not because of the result, but because the role and choice are in a dilemma and cannot be changed. This film makes people feel that life is not the worst, only worse. After watching it, it can make The depressed are more depressed, and the desperate are more desperate."

"I have seen many films directed by Jiang Wen, and my impression is that they tend to have a dark style, but "Mobile Phone" is more enjoyable, with a touch of criticism. The film deeply reveals the theme that the film wants to express. Provoke thinking."

"To put it simply, this film is about how a man uses lies to walk between three women, and finally pays a huge price for his actions. The story seems to have nothing to do with mobile phones, but the details can reflect mobile phones. It is more and more widely used and constantly changing in people's lives."

"Yan Shouyi not only exists as a main character in the story, through him we can find many "similar" existences similar to him in the society. As a host of the TV program "One Says One", in front of the screen gives People talk about positive topics such as honesty, but in life they lie to the women around them, which is completely contradictory to his name and the name of the program he hosts, and it is a bit ironic to a certain extent."

Film reviews like this appeared in the newspapers, which made many people know Jiang Wen again, and also let many people know about this movie.

As the instigator, Zhao Fusheng never expected that this drama would become a social phenomenon.

But this is a movie, this is life, before many things happen, no one can predict what kind of result will be.It was as if Ma Dajun couldn't figure out why Zhao Fusheng targeted him no matter how he thought about it.

"why?"

Zhao Fusheng blinked his eyes, glanced at Fan Baobao who asked him that question, and said calmly, "I don't think he's happy, is that okay?"

Fan Baobao thought for a while, recalled the story about Ma Dajun she had heard from Zhou Yun, and nodded vigorously. She felt that Zhao Fusheng was right.

Chapter 941 The Spring Festival of 2003

We always say, don't judge a hero by success or failure, because that seems a bit too blunt.

But in fact, the success of the king and the defeat of the bandits have never been the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.

The winner is always the writer of the history books and has the right to enjoy the fruits of victory.As for the losers, if they can leave some traces, it is already considered good.

Although Yu Dong and Ma Dajun talked about starting from scratch, they all knew that, at least in the first half of this year, Berna was unable to trouble Zhao Fusheng and others.

After all, Ma Dajun officially left Huayi Brothers to sign with Bernard, which caused quite a shock in this circle.

If it weren't for Yu Dong being a member of Mr. Han's family, Hua Yi might have started secretly stumbling and throwing dirty water.

For the current plan, Ma Dajun can only keep a low profile, try to find a suitable script, and wait for the next opportunity.

Zhao Fusheng is naturally very happy, the movie box office is rising steadily, everything is going well, he can finally give himself a vacation.Speaking carefully, he actually didn't help much. The main distribution work was done by Huayi, and the promotional work was done by Future Film and Ye Jing.

But no matter what, Zhao Fusheng was very happy to be able to be safe and not have to worry about the movie.

During the period, Wang Zhonglei specially invited Zhao Fusheng to have a meal, and he was very grateful to Zhao Fusheng during the dinner.

The reason is very simple. "Mobile Phone" made "Looking for the Gun" look like it had nothing to do with the Huayi Brothers, but when it comes to the news that Ma Dajun left Huayi, it is different.

At the very least, if "Looking for the Gun" is a big success, it means that Ma Dajun has successfully switched jobs, and Huayi has lost talents.

But on the other hand, "Mobile Phone" became popular, and on the other hand, it proved that Huayi is the suitable platform for Ma Dajun. Without Huayi's support, Ma Dajun is nothing.

Zhao Fusheng naturally scoffed at this judgment, but he had to admit that now that many media are so hyped up, who would let Ma Dajun not live up to his expectations?

But no matter what, Zhao Fusheng is undoubtedly happy to be able to enjoy a period of leisure time at home.

Except for being dragged by Fan Baobao to rehearse the drama occasionally, ahem.

But fortunately, the Spring Festival is coming soon. In the wind and snow, Zhao Fusheng, Fan Baobao, Zhang Qian and Yang Panpan returned to Ninghai by plane.
