Chapter 516: One movie beats the entire May Day schedule

1.5 billion box office.

What does this mean? If a box office of 1 billion is a legend, then a box office of 1.2 billion is a legend among legends.

1.5 billion box office.

Looking at the entire history of Chinese film and television, we can find works with a box office of more than 1.5 billion.

Very few.

This business achievement is beyond description . From a business perspective.

There is no one younger than him.

Although there is an element of leveraging momentum.

But who says that taking advantage of the situation is not a form of strength? Being able to take advantage of the situation is itself a manifestation of strength.

I just didn't expect to borrow this wave.

The amount borrowed was a bit too large, which directly inflated the box office data to a historical level.

"1.5 billion box office!"

At this time, Lu Haishi also murmured.

Looking at the Beijing circle, it’s not right. Looking at the Chinese entertainment and film and television circle, it’s not right.

Is there such a box office movie?

No. Lu Haishi discovered this. The box office of 1.5 billion that Li Yun broke through was a result that no one had ever achieved before. Even if they tried their best to postpone the release date, no work could achieve this result.

At this time, Lu Haishi was slumped in his office chair. He felt a little limp and weak. He tried his best to think, but he could not imagine that Li Yun could break through to a state that no one else could break through at this time.

It has been the No. 1 domestic commercial box office in the past three years.

This position should obviously belong to my Beijing circle! It should be our glory My glory, my glory!! "The box office of 700 million is almost half of "Dying to Survive". The overseas box office is even more ridiculous. It was released simultaneously and fell into the heart of the earth. Even with the overseas box office, it was only 1 billion, which barely recovered the investment cost."

at this time.

Zhang Mouzi, who had been silent, found it a little ridiculous. Looking at the expected result, which was second only to "Dying to Survive", he actually felt that he had no emotions. He was not like Lu Haishi, who had a feeling of anxiety and fear of loss . If he lost, he lost.

After using every possible means and exhausting all talents, I still lost.

That, is 'failure'.

If there is any refutable factor, Zhang Mouzi will never use the word "failure" to describe himself or his current situation.

But now it is irrefutable, irrefutable that I have achieved a "failure" result.

The special effects used the latest technology from Industrial Light & Magic. Although it was used as an experiment for "Avatar", it is also the most advanced visual technology.

The script was polished by myself and Lv Haishi, one of the "Four Talents". The actors used are all elites from the Beijing circle, plus Hollywood's top names, Matt Damon and William Dafoe . All these people, plus the overseas box office, lost to "Dying to Survive".

The only fig leaf is probably "foreign exchange".

Due to the special nature of its subject matter, "Dying to Survive" will definitely not earn much foreign exchange, which is strongly related to domestic policies. However, even if it fails to earn foreign exchange, isn't the Chinese currency also money? Is n't it also money? Isn't preventing the outflow of money equivalent to earning foreign exchange?

At this time, outside the door, two foreigners were communicating in English without any hesitation.

"I said, if we film a movie here in China, the box office will definitely not be good."

“It doesn’t seem surprising.”

"It may not be a problem for Chinese people to fool their own people if they can't produce good works, but in Hollywood, such works are just mediocre."

"Ah, I really want to go back to the United States to make movies."

At this time, Zhang Mouzi's face was as gloomy as water. It was the two Hollywood leading actors of his "The Great Wall" - they thought that they couldn't understand him when they communicated in English.

After all, when filming "The Great Wall", Zhang Mouzi also relied on translators to communicate with them.

Translation available.

It does not mean that Zhang Mouzi does not understand English. He just listened to the humiliation of these two foreigners. In their opinion, this overseas box office performance is rubbish. "1.5 billion box office, do you know what level you are in China now? During the entire May Day period this year, the total box office of movies can only match the box office of your movie. You alone, you defeated the entire May Day period!!!"

at this time.

At Li Yun's home, Jiang Wen looked at Li Yun excitedly. As a fellow filmmaker, he knew what this achievement meant.

'legend'.

At least, it is a legend in the country.

With an investment of just over 100 million yuan, the film achieved a box office of 1.5 billion yuan. This profit margin is much higher than that of drug sales. Of course, this is also the official promotion in the last wave of medical insurance. On Weibo, many official accounts are promoting the movie "Dying to Survive".

As time went by, the popularity of the medical insurance reform and the popularity of "Dying to Survive" stepped on each other's feet, and finally reached the point of 1.5 billion box office . In a sense, this movie even has a considerable degree of "historical significance".

"Oh, I beat the entire May Day period, that's good. How much is the overseas box office?" Li Yun touched his chin and took a break from his busy schedule to ask about the overseas box office.

"It's about a few thousand dollars overseas, so it's a standard box office for an art film, neither a loss nor a profit."

Jiang Chenggang paused and said, "This box office is also in the category of excellent art films."

The work "Dying to Survive" is so special that its success in China cannot be replicated.

For overseas, there are not so many points of empathy. It can be said to be a "love letter" unique to China. For foreigners, they can only appreciate the explosive acting skills of the actors, but cannot fully appreciate the taste of the movie . "Overseas people will definitely not understand this kind of movie." Jiang Wen shrugged and said, "If civilians get seriously ill, they don't have the opportunity to take "Glenin"."

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang asked a question.

"Isn't medical care free overseas? How come they don't have the opportunity to take Gleevec?"

"You can tell from one glance that you have never been abroad, Lao Jiang. Their free medical care is like waiting in line until the year after next for a cold, and then they force you to go to a private hospital. Minor illnesses cost a lot of money, major illnesses go bankrupt, and serious illnesses lead to homelessness. They won't have the opportunity to get 'Glenin' through doctors. They just prescribe you painkillers and that's it."

Jiang Wen told this story cruelly. Jiang Chenggang was stunned. No wonder the overseas box office was not good. Doctors looked down on it. Of course, after the box office came out, some domestic public opinion was also like this - they were good at domestic wars, but not good at foreign wars. The domestic box office was very high, but when it came to foreign countries, it didn't earn much foreign exchange, nor did it occupy much market share.

Although for practitioners.

It is normal for movie themes to be regionally targeted. Many excellent foreign films don’t sell well in China.

At this time, Li Yun was thinking.

If I were to release the entire "Wolf Warrior" myself, wouldn't those people be pissed off to death?

But they are right.

Civil war for insiders Foreign war for insiders The new year begins, science fiction for January.

This subject matter is able to ignore nationality and point directly to the universe.

Next, "Dying to Survive" was submitted to the Golden Eagle Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Huabiao Awards, the Golden Horse Awards, and all other awards that could be submitted. How many awards it could win and what awards it could win are the considerations of the award-giving side.

After the sensational success of "Dying to Survive", Li Yun saw immediate benefits. He had more money in his public account that could make him financially independent. No matter how much he despised money, he couldn't help but be moved and greedy for it.

It's okay to stop here.

Living a carefree life, marrying three wives and four concubines, and leading a decadent life can also be a good thing.

Living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death is also a wonderful thing.

Others have also said this.

Jiang Chenggang also said that at the celebration party of "Dying to Survive", if it were his old self, he would probably let Li Yun go to Cayman to find a small island and enjoy half his life first. He was being subtle. With so much money, it would be more than enough for a lifetime, not to mention half a lifetime. But Jiang Chenggang also said that he was inspired by Li Yun's ideal of pursuing art and knew that money was not the only desire in the world. And when he knew that Li Yun was going to invest all this money in the next movie, he admired him even more. The box office revenue of "Dying to Survive" was just the start-up capital for the next movie.

All in on the funds for "The Wandering Earth" "I'm just saying this in a sarcastic way. Although I admire your statement, have you ever thought about what to do if you fail? If your next work fails, it won't be easy to get back on your feet." Jiang Wen said drunkenly to Li Yun.

If you are just a director, failure is not something unacceptable.

But as a circle, if his all-out work fails, it will be difficult for him to get back on his feet.

If he succeeds, Li Yun will benefit from everything, including money and reputation. But if he fails, the one who will bear the consequences will be Li Yun alone, as the head of a circle.

But even so, Li Yun still chose to go all in on "The Wandering Earth".

At this time, Li Yun paused and said.

“I was afraid”

If "The Wandering Earth" fails, the chain reaction it brings will be devastating . One will lose resources, and one's personality will lose its support and backfire. It will be a threat to one's life.

Perhaps, there is a more compromise approach rather than going all-in on "The Wandering Earth".

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

But Li Yun didn't want to.

In order to survive, Li Yun has many ways, instead of just going all-in on "The Wandering Earth" to express all his thoughts and confront Cameron head-on.

But Li Yun was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to reach the pinnacle of enlightenment.

I have been here, I have existed, and I declare it to the world.

I have been here.

At this time, Jiang Wen was puzzled.

"Then why are you not afraid now?"

Li Yun remembered the girl next to him on that snowy night. She smiled brightly and beautifully. Unable to help himself, the corners of Li Yun's mouth also curled up.

What she cares about is 'Li Yun'.

Knowing this is enough.

There's nothing to be afraid of . At this point, Li Yun drank the wine in one gulp.

In addition to "Dying to Survive", another event and a TV series happened this month.

It's called "The Hidden Corner".

This work proves that Li Quan has the ability to promote new talents.

Made an amateur named Zhang Yi famous.

For an amateur to be praised, it can be said that he has truly reached the top in one step.

The real stairway to heaven. And the ratings finally reached nearly 6 points.

This short and sharp suspense drama exploded in terms of word of mouth and ratings.

It even gave rise to a concept called "check-in point".

Many people know about Huizhou, a small border town. I didn’t expect that in the 21st century, there is still a place that looks like it’s from the 1920s. This place has suddenly been turned into a tourist city. This is the influence of an excellent TV series.

Directly leading the trend.

King of drama.

"The Bad Kids" is the drama king of this year.

Right now.

Li Yun watched his achievements take root and sprout.

Even though this work was shot largely for the purpose of self-expression, it ultimately also has profit-making purposes.

"Wang Chen, are your special effects team resources ready for my visit?"

At this moment, Li Yun prepared his most expensive suit, dressed handsomely, and went to Huaying's headquarters.

Go find Wang Chen.

Huaying’s headquarters is not a magnificent skyscraper, but rather a simple feeling everywhere.

In the past, the buildings of entertainment companies were more flashy than each other, but there were very few like Huaying, which sat in the leading position and did not seem so impressive.

It doesn't seem to feel that way.

But the sign of HuaDa Film and Television Building hanging at his door indicated the specialness of this place.

The only company in China that is qualified to introduce works.

The only qualified agency.

It represents the largest combination of public and private sectors.

The strongest and most powerful existence.

Xie Qingya had been waiting at the door for a long time, giving Li Yun the highest level of reception. The entire Huaying Company also gave Li Yun a high level of reception for his arrival.

"Boss Xie, this is quite a grand ceremony." Li Yun said with a sigh as he looked at the members who were in charge of the reception.

"Our big star is here, how can we neglect you?" At this time, Xie Qingya looked at Li Yun and teased.

Today's Li Yun is for Huaying.

It can also be considered a sky-supporting object.

Big shot.

A movie and a TV series.

A position established purely on the basis of talent.

This time Li Yun did not comment, but just looked around, as if he was looking for someone.

Xie Qingya seemed to understand what he meant.

"Our President Wang has been waiting for you upstairs for a long time."

"Then let's go ahead and take me to see Mr. Wang."

Li Yun and Xie Qingya smiled at each other.

The two of them went upstairs together. For Xie Qingya, this was also a rare opportunity. In the past, she had always been the one being shown off, but now it was finally her turn to show off.

It's my turn to go with Wang Chen.

Not for anything else, just for one thing, to show off, to flaunt one's power. (End of this chapter)
