Chapter 1076: "Detective Chinatown" ended perfectly!

During Zhou Xiang's new film training, "Detective Chinatown" was released with a box office of 2.87 billion yuan. Although it failed to surpass the number one superhero movie in the box office chart, this result was a very good result for Lai Siu-tung himself, director Liang Wen, the entire crew, and the entire Earthling Studio.

After all, not everyone can be like Lin Fan, who can easily make a small profit with a big investment, defeat blockbusters, and become a box office dark horse. The steady and solid performance of Li Xiaodong is the norm in the industry.

It is normal that domestic suspense films cannot compete with commercial blockbusters from Europe and the United States.

Besides, even if we can’t beat the foreign monks, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" is already the No. 1 domestic film, with a box office of 2.87 billion. What else do we need?

Lin Fan was very happy because after himself and Xia Yan, the company finally had two actors who could carry the box office. Otherwise, the entire studio would only rely on himself and his wife who didn't like acting to carry the box office, which would be really hard.

Yang Hongxia was also very happy, because the company not only had two more hardworking cows, but also had a new cowherd!

That’s right, I’m talking about Liang Wen.

Liang Wen has been hiding behind Lin Fan as an assistant director. Although people in the circle know that Liang Wen is capable, he has no independent works of his own, so he has no box office appeal, and he has no sense of presence among the general audience.

But now, a movie called "Detective Chinatown" has come out, and Liang Wen's name has become well-known to the audience along with the movie. These are all invisible assets! In the future, the company finally doesn't have to rely on Lin Fan for everything, and wait for Lin Fan to make the final decision. With Liang Wen, the company can shoot two movies at the same time! No, it should be three, because the production of animated films is not like live-action movies, which cannot be separated from the director during the shooting. Animated films only require the staff to produce according to the pre-set content, and the director only needs to watch a few more times during the process.

Therefore, for Earthling Studios, there is no pressure at all to advance the production of three films at the same time.

Yang Hongxia had already thought about it. When Zhou Xiang's new movie was finished and in post-production, the movie Lin Fan shot last year would be almost ready to go online. This way, Lin Fan and Liang Wen would have time to start two more movie projects! As for the animated film, forget it. The production cycle of this project is not ordinary. Being able to produce one in a year is already a manifestation of high efficiency. Yang Hongxia still has a conscience and will not really squeeze the partners in the studio to the limit.

Lai Siu-tung was also very happy that the first movie he starred in achieved such good results, which anyone would be very happy about.

Moreover, this movie is a series of movies. The completion of the first part means that the second part will soon enter the preparation stage. In the next two or three years, not only will I not have to worry about not having movies to shoot, but I will also not have to worry about holding Brother Fan back.

With this movie, Lai Siu-tung felt that he had finally become an investment that could pay off and make a profit for the company.

The colleagues at Earthling Studio were also very happy, because on the day the movie was released, Lin Fan fulfilled his promise and gave everyone a super generous red envelope!

Yang Hongxia also announced a rotation system for annual leave, compensating everyone for the leave they had missed due to overtime work during the New Year period.

How could the guys not be happy to meet such a generous boss? Of course, before the holiday, a celebration party for "Detective Chinatown" was also held. This was not only to celebrate the film and the main creative staff, but also a good opportunity to take the opportunity to expand the influence of Earthling Studio in this circle.

It’s just that when other companies hold celebration parties, they also finalize the investment and advertising sponsorship intentions for the next movie, which can be regarded as a disguised way of discussing cooperation.

But Earthman Studios is not like that. They hold celebration parties just to celebrate. You want to invest in our next movie? Sorry, we don't need money.

You want to advertise in our next movie?

Well, we have to think about whether or not to put ads in the next movie. We'll contact you after we've thought it through, okay? In short, a large number of investors and advertisers, waving their money and trying to throw it at the Earthling studio, were blocked by bulletproof shields. Isn't that infuriating? The point is, even if it's so infuriating, everyone still has to attend this celebration party. What if Lin Fan suddenly gets the idea and is willing to accept investment and advertising sponsorship, and you're not there, wouldn't that be a bargain for others?

Therefore, even if they are ruthlessly rejected every time, these investors and brands will still arrive on time to attend the Earthling Studio's celebration party.

Lin Fan finally had a chance to slack off at the celebration banquet, because the protagonist of this celebration banquet was not himself, but Li Xiaodong.

Seeing Li Xiaodong surrounded by investors, brands, and media people, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh: "It's really the case that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward."

Liang Wen couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Who is the back wave and who is the front wave?"

It's true that Li Xiaodong is the new wave, but how can you, Lin Fan, be the old wave? You are clearly a mountain that scares people away!

And how old are you?

Are you in your creative prime?

Please forgive us, the younger generation, for not being able to push forward people like you, the older generation.

Lin Fan coughed dryly: "I used the wrong word, it should be 'Talents emerge in every generation.'"

Yang Hongxia called out to the two lazy guys: "Let's go, it's time to break the ice."

Besides, if you two don't show up, Li Xiaodong will be eaten by those people. Please be kind and save the child!

The arrival of Lin Fan and Liang Wen really saved Li Xiaodong from the dire situation: "Everyone, today's interview ends here. Please move to the hall. We are going to start breaking the ice."

If someone else had said this, everyone would have ignored him, but who made Lin Fan the one who said this? Almost as soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the crowd surrounding Li Xiaodong completely dispersed. Li Xiaodong then wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Fan, it's a good thing you're here!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

Otherwise, Li Xiaodong didn’t know how to get out of this situation.

"You'll get used to it. Let's go break the ice!"

Lin Fan and Liang Wen took Li Xiaodong to the middle of the hotel lobby. Other important members of the crew also gathered, and then members of the studio pushed out a huge ice sculpture.

Looking at the long string of zeros, Li Xiaodong was a little surprised: I used to watch Brother Fan smash the ice, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I would also be smashing ice at a celebration banquet.

Moreover, 2.87 billion is an unimaginable box office result.

But, I really did it.

The pretty emcee carried a hammer on a tray and walked to each of the main creative staff members. Lin Fan and Liang Wen pulled Li Xiaodong to the middle position and signaled him to pick up the hammer first. Then the others picked up the hammer one by one and hammered down: "Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

As the digital ice sculptures were smashed, ice chips flew everywhere, mist rose, and the audience cheered: "Detective Chinatown Detectives" ended perfectly! It's a big hit at the box office!"
