Who are you calling powerful?

Although it is regarded as the highlight of this year, the summer season has a "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".

In front of this super phenomenal movie, the National Day season, which was given high hopes, inevitably seems a little bleak.

Although it was overshadowed, the overall performance of this year's National Day season is not bad.

From September 30th/October 1st to the end of the National Day holiday on October 7th, the total box office of the National Day season exceeded 4.5 billion+.

Putting aside the summer season, this long period of three months from early June to late August, this year's overall performance is inferior to the Spring Festival season. Compared with last year's National Day season, the total box office has more than doubled.

The popular "My Motherland and Me" blasted nearly 2 billion box office during the National Day holiday, and it is expected that the total box office will exceed 3 billion.

"The Captain" is not much inferior, following closely with a box office of about 1.7 billion+, and the total box office is expected to be 2.5 billion to 3 billion.

To be honest, this data is something that many people did not expect.

This disastrous theme can be compared with the previous summer movie "The Bravest". Considering the lineup, schedule, publicity and other reasons, the lower limit will be good, but it is generally believed to be around 1 billion to 1.5 billion, and at most 2 billion will emerge. Unexpectedly, it went to less than 3 billion.

On the contrary, another big-name movie "The Climbers", which has international stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Hu Ge, and Zhen Zidan, was thought to be the second most popular movie during the National Day, but it performed abnormally, and the word-of-mouth and box office were not satisfactory.

The box office during the National Day was more than 500 million, and the total box office was expected to be around 1 billion. The specific follow-up will depend on the follow-up, but the trend is not bad.

The fourth place is "The Blooming of the Silk Road".

In fact, the performance can only be said to be mediocre, with a box office of 350 million during the National Day, and a total box office of 500 to 800 million.

Considering that the lineup is mainly composed of newcomers in the film industry, the cost is relatively well controlled, and the word of mouth is also OK, it is more impressive than "The Climbers". Many media and even institutions put it in third place when they count.

The two films he led to produce, one was a big hit, and the other made money and had a good reputation, and the investors also made a lot of money.

Blue Whale's performance in this year's National Day can be said to be a complete victory, and it is the only one seeking defeat.

Perhaps it is because the possibility of hitting the 3 billion box office is not high, or it is afraid of colliding with the 3 billion+ celebration banquet of Blue Whale's "My Motherland and Me" and being robbed of all attention.

In mid-October, Bona simply took the lead in holding a celebration banquet for "The Captain" in Beijing.

Boss Wei, who has not yet settled his affairs in Beijing, was naturally invited.

Fatty Yu blocked the door to send the invitation, and Boss Wei did make some money on this movie, and he had time, so he simply accepted it.

However, on the day of the celebration banquet, Boss Wei was still late.

During this period, he has been traveling to Beijing, one of the reasons is that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards will start in December.

After Boss Wei became the chairman of the Film Association, he began to implement reforms of the two awards, one of which was to change the two awards from being held every two years to being held every year.

Again, awarding the award every two years will reduce your own influence and exposure, and will also affect your credibility and value.

It was fine before, but now that the Golden Horse Awards are banned, the Golden Rooster Awards want to become the top Chinese film award and hold it every two years, which is pure brainless.

It is not as difficult as Boss Wei thinks to promote this reform.

Boss Wei's strength and industry prestige are here, and those old stubborn and old-timers are not fools.

You may have some arguments about how to award specific awards, but the Golden Horse Awards fell, and the Golden Rooster Awards took advantage of the situation. This is a good thing for everyone, and no one will be stupid enough to stop it.

Besides, the Golden Rooster Awards have not always been held every two years. Before 2005, it was held every year, which can be regarded as a restoration of tradition.

Even if there was no Boss Wei in the previous life, after the Golden Horse Awards were abolished, the Golden Rooster Awards successfully promoted the reform to be held every year.

The appearance of Boss Wei made the reform of the Golden Rooster Awards easier, and the Hundred Flowers Awards were also changed.

This is a new breakthrough in this time and space. In the previous life, the Hundred Flowers Awards were still held every two years after the Golden Rooster Awards were reformed. Just for this reason, Boss Wei’s tenure as the head of the Film Association was not in vain.

However, reforms are troublesome and troublesome!

For example, there was a debate for two months on whether the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards should be held separately or together.

Once it was decided to be held separately, the Golden Rooster Awards would be easy to deal with. It was originally held this year, so it was fine to follow the routine. The Hundred Flowers Awards were held a year in advance, so preparations had to be made as soon as possible, and various rules had to be changed accordingly. The crew registration and public voting also had to be publicized in place.

Moreover, the way the Film Association does things is different from what Boss Wei does in the company.

Boss Wei’s words are final in the company. He gives orders directly if there is anything to do. If it is done well, he will be rewarded. If it is not done well, he will be punished. If it is really not good, he will replace people.

The Film Association is semi-official in nature, with many old predecessors, and some of the staff are voluntary laborers. The internal structure and relationships are also sensitive and complicated, so Boss Wei cannot be too simple and rough in doing things, and there are many things to be cautious about.

Fortunately, Boss Wei is a dimensionality reduction strike, he is well connected inside and outside, and he has money and connections, otherwise he would be worried.

Even so, Boss Wei occasionally can't help complaining to Fan Xiaopang and Zhao Liying that he really has nothing better to do than to take this position.

However, that being said, he has never missed a meeting, and he is willing to hear the phrase "Chairman Wei".

This may be the genes of people from Shandong Province. Back then, Confucius took his disciples to various countries to take exams...

…

Wei Yang got out of the car and entered the hotel for the celebration party under the guidance of bodyguards and waiters. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Fatty Yu and two Bona executives came to greet him.

"Sorry, President Yu, I was delayed by the meeting and came late."

"Oh, what you said, President Wei, you are busy every day, and you are giving us face by coming."

Wei Yang and Fatty Yu are familiar with each other, and joked: "Why does this sound like sarcasm?"

Fat Yu felt wronged: "Just kidding, do I have the courage? I am sincere, I am also in the Film Association, how can I not know how busy you are."

"Anyway, I am late, I will punish myself with a glass of wine later."

"I will accompany one, I don't go to the Film Association very often, and you are supporting me, it's too hard."

After a few pleasantries, Fatty Yu led Boss Wei into the banquet hall. What surprised Wei Yang was that the ice sculpture that meant a box office of 2.2 billion yuan had not been smashed yet.

The original plan was to wait for Boss Wei to come and smash the sculpture together. He was also the producer and supervisor of the movie "The Captain".

But because Wei Yang was late, he called Fatty Yu and told them not to wait for him. Anyway, he was just a nominal supervisor, and the producer could be replaced by the executives of Blue Whale.

He never thought that after he called, Fatty Yu would choose to wait for him.

Tsk tsk, Wei Yang was convinced. Fatty Yu really knows how to lick...

At Fatty Yu's kind invitation, Boss Wei still went on stage to smash the ice sculpture together, completing the process that was missing in the celebration banquet just now.

After a few official words from the media who came to interview, Boss Wei went to the main table to eat.

After a half-day meeting, he was hungry!

However, with his status in today's occasion, he was like a night pearl in the dark night, and he couldn't stop eating.

First, the executives of several companies that participated in the investment, such as Alibaba and Wanda, came to visit, followed by a few old friends who came to attend the celebration banquet, and then all kinds of usual greetings.

Even Fatty Yu personally brought two people to toast Boss Wei.

Ou Hao and Zhang Tianai

Wei Yang raised his hand to stop the two from introducing themselves, and looked at them with a smile.

"Although we are not familiar with each other, we have met more than once, so there is no need to introduce them."

Fat Yu was curious: "Boss Wei has had contact with them before."

"Ou Hao came to my crew for an interview, and he also greeted me at several previous events. Tianai had dinner together, I remember it was with LeTV's Lao Jia."

Zhang Tianai nodded obediently, showing some admiration and joy of being remembered: "It was also in Beijing at that time. Boss Jia hosted, and I and Sister Gan Wei had the honor to have a meal with you."

"It's just a meal, not that exaggerated."

Wei Yang waved his hand and looked at Fatty Yu: "Why? Two new generals under your command."

Fat Yu touched his belly, didn't say it clearly, just laughed.

Most people would not let Fatty Yu personally bring them to Boss Wei to show their face. They must have been with Bona and signed at least part of the contract.

Boss Wei was not surprised.

Ou Hao was a famous "resource guy" in his previous life. Wei Yang was not sure whether he had a sponsor, but his movies were mainly from Bona.

He, Huang Jingyu, and Du Jiang are also called the "Three Sons of Bona" by many people, and they are active in most of the movies produced by Bona.

Boss Wei doesn't know Zhang Tianai, and she is indeed not popular enough, but in her previous life, she also participated in many Bona movies, and she should have signed or cooperated with Bona.

At this stage, the signing, joining, and cooperation between artists in the entertainment industry and entertainment companies are becoming more and more complicated.

The agency contract of a famous artist can even be divided into several parts, jointly operated by several companies, and the time is also long or short, so sometimes it is not particularly easy to distinguish the specific company and the relevant contract of the artist.

However, Yu Pangzi was able to bring the two people to him, so he must be closely tied to Bona and relatively promoted.

At this stage, Bona's top brother is Zhang Hanyu, and the top sister can be said to be International Zhang, or Yuan Quan.

International Zhang and Bona are cooperating, and they have a high degree of autonomy, and cannot be completely regarded as Bona's own people.

Yuan Quan is a completely signed artist of Bona. She plays the leading role in "The Captain of China" and has a good reputation. I think she will continue to promote her.

However, these two are powerful + middle-aged. Fatty Yu is so smart that he doesn't understand the benefits of cultivating new generation and traffic artists. Ou Hao and Zhang Tianai are the ones he is optimistic about.

After the face-painting, the two respectfully toasted Boss Wei, and Wei Yang took a sip to save face.

Fatty Yu seemed to see that Wei Yang was not very interested in Ou Hao, so he drove him away.

As for Zhang Tianai, Fatty Yu said that he had to greet the guests coming and going, for fear of treating Boss Wei poorly, and arranged a tea and water next to him, so that he could feel at ease.

Boss Wei looked at him speechlessly. I use her to serve tea and water, and treat the waiter next to him as a decoration.

Fatty Yu was so thick-skinned: "It's good to chat and relieve boredom."

Wei Yang was convinced. This fat guy liked to play this trick on him. Sooner or later, Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang would hold a grudge against him and join forces to trip him up.

That being said, Wei Yang didn't let Zhang Tianai leave, mainly because he was afraid of losing face. He didn't have any other ideas.

The waiter added a seat, and Zhang Tianai sat next to Boss Wei. She was also very considerate. Wei Yang didn't speak or talk to him presumptuously.

After the fat guy left, seeing that Boss Wei seemed hungry, he took new chopsticks, helped Boss Wei pick up dishes, remove bones, remove bones, and peel shrimps. If there were things that Wei Yang liked to eat but were cold, he asked the waiter to heat them up, add some water and wine from time to time, and pass a tissue.

If it were someone else, being taken care of so meticulously by a great beauty or even a female star, they would have blushed and their hearts would have beat fast, and they would have even been flattered.

Boss Wei was very calm, he had long been accustomed to this treatment.

He had enjoyed the meticulous service of female stars who were more popular and beautiful than Zhang Tianai, and even had the same experience, so this little scene was nothing.

"Don't say it, you are quite suitable to be a waiter."

After taking Zhang Tianai's tissue, Boss Wei wiped his mouth and finally spoke.

Although this little scene was nothing to him, Zhang Tianai's work was indeed very meticulous, and her posture and expression were also very good, even Boss Wei felt a little ripple in his heart. If it were another man, he would have been directly defeated.

Zhang Tianai smiled shyly: "Thanks to your good words, if I can't be an actor in the future, I will always have a suitable job."

Wei Yang shook his head and didn't continue to talk. Seeing that there were guests smoking in the banquet hall, he was also a little itchy.

Today he went to the Film Association for a meeting. He didn't bring his cigar with him, and he was too lazy to ask the waiter for one, so he asked the guest next to him and borrowed a box of Yuxi.

Zhang Tianai got angry just after she put the cigarette in her mouth. Wei Yang really wanted to ask her if she wanted to be an assistant. The annual salary and benefits could be negotiated.

In fact, his assistants did a good job and were even more competent, but obviously not as pleasing to the eye as this one...

Perhaps because they saw Zhang Tianai and Boss Wei "getting along", many people were very discerning and didn't come to disturb them.

But when there are more than a hundred people, there are all kinds of people, and there are always "short-sighted" people who come to spoil the scenery.

Boss Wei was chatting with Zhang Tianai casually, and Li Xin, who also starred in "The Captain of China", also ran over.

Li Xin had previously starred in "Chi Le Chuan" and was an acquaintance of Boss Wei. After a while of greetings, this girl actually refused to leave and sat on the other side of Boss Wei like Zhang Tianai.

Now she attracted attention!

One girl is romantic, two girls are jealous, and the backyard is on fire.

Others in the banquet hall were instantly alert. Could it be that there is a big melon to eat today?

Zhang Tianai was very unhappy with Li Xin's behavior, but she didn't know what the relationship between Li Xin and Boss Wei was. She was afraid that Li Xin would become Boss Wei's new love because of "Chi Le Chuan", so she kept it safe.

Boss Wei was also slightly stunned by Li Xin's behavior. He thought that Fatty Yu had given him a flight attendant supreme service, but he quickly reacted.

Let alone whether Fatty Yu has this ability, even if he does, it is impossible for him to let Li Xin come over without saying hello to him.

It can only be Li Xin's spontaneous behavior, but Wei Yang knows very well that he and Li Xin are absolutely innocent.

The latter had not done anything attentive to him in "Chi Le Chuan" before. Even if it was because Tang Yan hid her inner thoughts and had some little thoughts in her heart, she would not suddenly behave so radically today.

So, if she is so abnormal now, there is only one reason.

"Who assigned you the job?"

Li Xin was not surprised that Wei Yang could guess it, but she apologized with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I can't help myself."

After that, she took out her mobile phone, and Wei Yang glanced at it, his face full of black lines.

Oh my god, there are four chat partners at the top of WeChat, namely Tang Yan, Da Mimi, Zhao Liying and Guli Nazha.

A double agent!

Li Xin raised her hand with a bitter face to show her innocence: "I didn't say it, Tang Jie, Zhao Jie and Nazha took the initiative to contact me, and then Mi Jie added me through Tang Jie."

Hearing this, Boss Wei didn't need to ask, he knew who Li Xin's trick was.

Only Da Mimi would be so mean!

Zhang Tianai, who was next to her, was even more pale when she heard it. Oh my god, I didn't expect these people to have so many spies, I won't be on the blacklist...
