Chapter 687: Returning to China, the news that shocked the entertainment industry
"Now "Thunder" is already on its last legs, and the number of films scheduled has been greatly reduced, allowing our "Zhu Xian" to take advantage of the situation and occupy up to 70% of the world's super-scheduled films."
"If this were not the case, no matter how well "Zhu Xian" was produced, it would not have been able to achieve a box office of US$3 billion in five days."
In the past two days, the global box office of "Zhu Xian" has taken in 627 million U.S. dollars and 572 million U.S. dollars respectively, and the total box office has reached 3.2 billion U.S. dollars. The future total box office of this movie will surpass "Interstellar" and it is almost certain.
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Zhang Xiao asked: "What's the current attendance rate?"
"Not good!" Yang Mi replied: "Now our domestic average attendance is around 20%, and in two days, new movies will be released one after another, which will also take away the
"Zhu Xian" made a lot of box office hits."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "For a movie to achieve great success, the right time, right place, right people, and the right people are indispensable. If "Zhu Xian" can monopolize this week's bonus, it is already a big advantage. We
Just don’t be too greedy.”
"That's right!" Brother Gu Yue next to him also echoed: "After two days, the box office of "Zhu Xian" is estimated to exceed 4 billion U.S. dollars. In the remaining three weeks, there should be no problem in taking over 1 billion U.S. dollars.
, it’s already a miracle that a movie can achieve a global box office of US$5 billion, we really can’t expect too much!”
Liang Jiahui said: "'Zhu Xian' and 'Across the Stars' occupy the top two spots in the global movie rankings. Then after 'Zhu Xian 2' is released, doesn't it mean that the top three spots in the future will be occupied by Mr. Zhang's movies?"
?”
Xia Wanxin heard what everyone said and exclaimed: "Oh my God, if Xiao Shen really achieves this achievement, it will definitely be a miracle in the history of film!"
Zhang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The first part of "Zhu Xian" has not yet ended, and you are already talking about the second part. Isn't it too early!"
Yang Mi said: "Husband, no matter what, you have opened up a huge gap for China's Xianxia movies in the world. I heard that many directors are setting up projects to make Xianxia movies."
Zhang Xiao asked in confusion: "What about historical war themes? The overseas box office of "Battle of Red Cliff" is also pretty good!"
"When it comes to this, I'm so angry!" Yang Mi said angrily: "Originally, the box office of "Battle of Red Cliff" was no longer good, but because of our "Zhu Xian", it suddenly became popular again.
, it took in a box office of US$300 million for five consecutive days.”
"Now, the global box office of "Red Cliff Battle" has exceeded 2.3 billion US dollars. Huayi's profit is almost 350 million US dollars, and the stock price has been rising for three consecutive days."
"Because the theme of ancient Chinese wars is relatively less expensive and less difficult to shoot than Xianxia movies, there are more directors shooting this theme."
After hearing what Yang Mi said, Zhang Xiao frowned and said, "If the subject is popular, everyone will follow suit and shoot. This is not a good phenomenon."
"There's no way!" Yang Mi shrugged and said, "Following trends is something that has always been common in the Chinese entertainment industry, and it's not something that just appeared now."
"Forget it, never mind!" Zhang Xiao also waved his hand and said: "I'm very tired during this period. Let's go home and have a good rest for a few days before talking!"
···
An hour later, the vehicle stopped at a five-star hotel.
In order to welcome everyone, Yang Mi booked a private room here and treated everyone to a meal.
After drinking and eating, Zhang Xiao made arrangements for Liang Jiahui, Brother Gu Yue and others before returning home.
A farewell is better than a wedding, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble that night.
Early the next morning, a torpedo-like news exploded in the Chinese entertainment industry. Even Zhang Xiao was shocked when he heard the news.
Chen Gang, who had been working with Huayi Company for half his life, unexpectedly left and joined a film company named Sakura, and this film company, as you can tell by its name, is owned by Soli.
In addition, more than ten first-line celebrities and artists have also joined in.
Zhang Xiao, who was having breakfast, saw the news and asked, "Holy crap, is this news true or false?"
"It's 100% true!" Yang Mi peeled an egg for Zhang Xiao and put it in his bowl, then said: "At 11 o'clock this morning, Chen Gang and those celebrities will collectively attend a press conference."
"Where is the king?" Zhang Xiao asked.
"I guess I've already had a heart attack from anger at this time!" Yang Mi shrugged and said a little gloatingly: "Because when Chen Gang left Huayi, he also deceived Director Guan away. This is Huayi."
One of the most famous directors."
"Now that Chen Gang and Director Guan, the two most famous directors at Huayi, have left, Wang Jun's life will probably be difficult!"
Zhang Xiao pondered for a while after hearing this, and said: "This Chen Gang must have drifted off. The movie "Battle of Red Cliff" seems to have given him blind confidence in himself, thinking that joining that Sakura Film Company has some clues behind it."
If we give him full support, we can give him a big stage and make him a top international director, but how can such a good thing in the world be possible?"
"In Hollywood, the average director only has the right to fail once. If the box office is not good, there will be no investors to invest a second time."
"A director who is considered successful and famous like Chen Gang has the right to fail twice. If both movies do not do well at the box office, then he will no longer be able to survive. Instead of taking the lead, he will fail.
He will fall off the altar and be beaten back."
"The success of "The Battle of Red Cliff" overseas is very accidental. It does not mean that Chen Gang has really mastered the balance between Chinese and Western culture. He is a person who can't even speak English. He
How much Western culture will you know?"
"This is simply an international joke. Therefore, unless Chen Gang only focuses on the domestic film market, he will fail miserably sooner or later."
After hearing Zhang Xiao's analysis, Yang Mi nodded repeatedly. She knew that what Zhang Xiao said was correct. Although she was not a director, she was now a big shot in the entertainment industry and knew a lot.
So he asked again: "Husband, should we take care of Huayi? If Chen Gang and Director Guan have been together for a week, their stock price that has just risen will definitely plummet."
Zhang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Suoli took in Chen Gang and Guan Dao, and has already forged a deep hatred with Huayi Company. With Suoli's urine, do you think it will let Huayi go?"
Yang Mi frowned and said, "You mean Suoli will suppress Huayi's stock price?"
"If I were the president of Solihua National Region, then I might choose acquisition." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it must be an acquisition!" Yang Mi nodded her head: "There are more than 20 shareholders of Huayi Entertainment. Chen Gang alone owns 5% of the shares. As long as we get five or six more people
, Suoli will become the largest shareholder of Huayi."
