This actor just wants to verify

Chapter 722: Go all the way

It’s not surprising that, perhaps due to Hao Yun’s efforts to clean up the mess, there have been quite a few reviews that deeply analyze The Sun Also Rises.

Some of the interpretations left Jiang Wen confused.

I didn’t, I didn’t think about it, and I didn’t say it…

The distributor, Bernard Films, doesn’t care about that.

They quickly gave it a boost, hyping up the relationship between Hao Yun and Jiang Wen as a mentor and disciple, which was considered a linkage with The Sound of Wind.

Bernard’s losses this time were a bit tragic, as the publicity and promotion were aggressive, scheduled for the early National Day period in 2007, and 700 copies were sold—only 300 copies of The Promise in 2006.

But the publicity and promotion results were horrible.

Hao Yun didn’t care about Bernard’s fakery, and sometimes even asked The Sound of Wind to promote The Sun.

If The Sun can get more box office, it can lose less money.

Yes.

It will definitely lose money.

Unlike the box office success of "The Sound of Wind", "The Sun" did not open well, with only 6 million on the first day, and the box office on Saturday was not as high as on Friday.

If the audience does not understand, no matter how you promote it, it will be useless.

Taihe Film and Television initially invested 30 million in this film, but after spending 18 million, Taihe withdrew its investment and the filming was stopped.

Later, Yinghuang invested 22 million, but it was still not enough.

Unable to find a buyer, Jiang Wen and his family paid for it, and his director and actors did not want their salaries at all. Jiang Wu gave 7 or 8 million, and Zhou Yun paid more than 4 million.

Adding the later publicity and distribution costs, the total cost should not be less than 60 million.

In fact, it takes 150 million to recover the cost.

Now it is good to have a box office of 20 million. Even if you add other things, you will lose at least 40 million.

Taihe Film and Television is in tears.

But I am also very glad that they withdrew their investment midway, otherwise, they would have to pay all the 60 million.

In this day and age, a loss is tens of millions, and no normal person can afford it.

Jiang Wen spends money like water on filming, and scaring off investors has long become his daily routine.

When directing "Sunny Days", Jiang Wen burned 250,000 feet of film, and the film ratio was 1:15 - the average film ratio of domestic films is 1:3.

Hao Yun is good at storyboarding, sometimes he can achieve 1:2.

The ultimate pursuit of movie shots made the crew of "Sunny Days" an amazing money-burning machine.

According to Jiang Wen's requirements, the crew found 500 extras. When everyone arrived, Jiang Wen asked them to collect the money and leave.

The reason was that he had not figured out how to shoot.

"Devils on the Doorstep" was also a bottomless pit. The whole film used 480,000 feet of film, resulting in a 30% overspending of the original planned 20 million budget.

Investors such as Dong Ping of Huayi and the Wang brothers of Huayi, their hearts were broken like crazy men and women after a breakup.

Before the release of "The Sun Also Rises", Wang Zhongjun, who had invested in "The Devils" and suffered a big loss, asked around whether he had avoided the trap or missed the pie.

Wang Zhongjun made no less than 20 calls and mobilized his friends to predict the box office of "The Sun". Han Sanping predicted 160 million, Boss Bernard Yu predicted 120 million, and Wang Zhongjun also gave a prediction of 60 million.

After the movie was released, Wang Zhongjun was sure that he had avoided the big trap.

The movie emperor was very calm.

Sometimes, admiring a person will not change easily, just like Boss Yang who admires Jiang Wen.

In the words of outsiders, you can't wake up a person who pretends to sleep.

Anyway, after the movie emperor said that he would invest in Jiang Wen's next movie, everyone thought they were crazy and that they had too much money.

Who the hell is still following Jiang Wen these days.

However, the movie emperor is not a complete idiot.

They agreed to take over "The Sun Also Rises" and invested 22 million, and the requirement was to get a share first than Taihe.

The real idiot is Hao Yun.

His master is already in such a mess, but he actually announced Jiang Wen's next movie plan a week after "The Sun Also Rises" was released.

Yes, the next one.

Jiang Wen's!

This day happened to be the celebration party for "The Whisper" which had a box office of over 100 million yuan.

"The Whisper" and "The Sun Also Rises" were released in the same week. The first week of "The Sun" was the first week of "The Whisper". The only difference was that "The Whisper" was released a few days earlier, with a first week of six days, while the first week of "The Sun" was three days.

The box office of "The Whisper" in its first week was 118 million yuan.

Jiang Wen's "The Sun" only had a little over 13 million yuan.

This little over 13 million yuan may have been partly hyped by Hao Yun.

In terms of theater scheduling, Hao Yun did not overly squeeze "The Sun" - of course, in business, Hao Yun was not stupid enough to ask the theater to give the scheduling to his master.

Even if he was stupid, the theater would not treat him as an onion.

Since the box office has exceeded 100 million, it must be hyped up.

As the publicity and promotion of "The Sound of Wind", Guangxian Media has invested heavily, not only using various connections, but also putting in a lot of money.

In the words of Boss Berna Yu, Wang Changtian is just a dog.

There is no way, he promoted "The Sun" and Wang Changtian promoted "The Sound of Wind", the contrast between the two is too obvious.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that half of the entertainment industry came. Anyway, in the capital, everyone who is well-known was invited to participate in this feast.

The first week exceeded 100 million, and the total box office is expected to reach 250 million without any pressure.

Hao Yun was invited to the stage to speak. He first thanked the front and backstage staff, as well as the film's publicity and theater staff.

Then the topic changed:

"I have some good news to tell you..."

What good news, you are getting married?

But looking at An Xiaoxi sitting in the audience, there is no shy expression on her face.

Or are you pregnant and planning to give birth on your own one day?

"Director Jiang Wen's next film is titled "Let the Bullets Fly." Official preparations begin today. I myself have been appointed as the chief producer and also participated in the creation of the script..."

Everyone in the audience could hardly hear what he said.

are you kidding me?

Is there anyone who wants to follow Jiang Wen into darkness these days?

Jiang Wen also didn't expect Hao Yun to say such words at the celebration banquet of "The Wind".

Don't let anyone else doubt that he saved the galaxy.

He now suspected that he had lost his memory. He must have done something very worthy of Hao Yun before.

He forgot, Misty Grass.

"Like "The Sun Also Rises", "Let the Bullets Fly" is also a very interesting story. I will also write some interpretations of this movie when the time comes. This movie will be released with you in 2009. I hope you will see it by then. Will like it.”

"The Sun Also Rises" is an interesting story?

I see you want an accident!

Everyone looked at Hao Yun and thought he was crazy for actually wanting to join forces with Jiang Wen.

Finally, the two things that everyone remembers most clearly at the celebration party of "The Wind" are that "The Wind" has exceeded 100 million, and it will definitely break 200 million in the future, and the other is that Jiang Wen is going to make a new film, and Hao Yun is working as a screenwriter for him and production.

To sum it up:

"The Wind" is a hit.

Hao Yun was in a state of despair.

Started to commit suicide.

However, the effects of the celebration banquet are not bad.

"The Wind" had good reputation and high box office, and more people were attracted to watch it.

"The Sun Also Rises" also ushered in a small climax of movie viewing - a small one, but at least it can make the box office of "The Sun" reach 30 to 40 million yuan.

Damn, it’s actually going to double.

"Actually, you don't have to be like this..." Jiang Wen was filled with emotion as he looked at Hao Yun, who was much more mature than when they first met.

At that time, Hao Yun had no reputation in the entertainment industry.

When he arrived at the set of "Looking for a Gun", there was no room on the set, so he made do with Jiang Wen for a few nights by accident.

Thus formed the fate of master and disciple.

Unexpectedly, in just five or six years, his apprentice has already grown "horribly".

Whether it is literature, art or business, he has made great achievements.

Even better than his master.

"It's something that can be done easily, Jiang Shumao, why are you so polite? It makes me feel embarrassed." Hao Yun said while making tea.

After brewing tea, I poured a cup for Jiang Wen and a cup for himself.

"Forget it, it's pointless to say more. The thing you asked me last time has come to an end." Jiang Wen was a little excited and didn't realize that what he was soaking was his best treasure.

"Golden Horse Award?" Hao Yun suddenly wondered.

"Yes, go ahead and be bold. It doesn't matter if you are more high-profile, but since it is Li Xu who is looking for you, you might as well make a request."

Jiang Wen relied on his connections and asked key figures.

After a few years of neglecting the Golden Horse Awards, I still took the opportunity to show my attitude on the cultural side, and they gave me a clear answer.

Hao Yun did not delve into specific details.

He is now beginning to think about what awards the mainland can win at this Golden Horse Awards.

It feels so cool to actually be able to share the Golden Horse Award.
