92. Win or lose
(I have been busy these past two days, and I have time to write at night. I only have this update today, but I will get some time to make up for it on weekends.)
Looking at the box office data in his hand, Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Why, isn't the box office data very good? Now the media outside are advocating that you will have a fight with that boy named Ye Sumang." Wang Zhonglei, the chairman of Huayi Brothers, looked at Feng Xiaogang who shook his head and sighed in confusion. He didn't understand that achieving such good results would be a frown.
"I know my movie. In fact, after watching "The World Without Thieves", I felt that I would lose the box office this time. Now it seems that the truth is indeed the case." Feng Xiaogang shook his head and told the reason for his understanding.
In Feng Xiaogang's opinion, the fact that he was able to achieve such good box office revenue on the first day was that the media had been constantly hyping up before, and the other was that his appeal was his own. Moreover, the theaters he released had about 500 more screens than Ye Sumang. But even so, he could only tie Ye Sumang's movies. As a top domestic director, he had already lost.
Moreover, looking at the crazy box office trends of the world's Wuzhe these days, Feng Xiaogang no longer dared to predict what the box office of this movie will reach. He only knew that his movie would lose, and he might lose miserably.
"Old Feng, don't be so pessimistic. It's still unknown who will win. Let's just wait and see!" Wang Zhonglei didn't expect that Feng Xiaogang would give up on a new director's film before the battle, and he also had a little curiosity about Ye Sumang and his World Film and Television.
Not to mention how bitter Feng Xiaogang is, Ye Sumang is already in a panic. Recently, employees in the company always have big smiles on their faces. Who made the box office of "The World Without Thieves" exceed 20 million Chinese coins in just 4 days? If this continues, there will be a big breakthrough in the next three days, and the red envelopes sent by the company will definitely be very generous.
Moreover, such a powerful box office has also brought them a sense of honor. Now walking on the floor, many employees of other companies are looking at them enviously. Those who are brave will ask a few questions. When they learn that it was the filming of their company that the world is invincible, those people will have a surprised face on their faces. The feeling of being admired and envied also makes these employees very proud.
"I'm so motivated!" Ye Sumang passed by the corridor with a smile. Seeing several employees holding big boxes and whirling back and forth, he couldn't help but sigh with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Ye!" Several employees passed by Ye Sumang's side. No matter how much work was in their hands, they would pause, nod and leave. They now admired this little boy from the bottom of their hearts.
With the good box office and the fact that Jiang Xin, an actor with both strength and appearance, joined the company, Ye Sumang is in a good mood now. After returning to the office, he suddenly thought of something and made a call with a smile on his face. Soon, Ning Hao hurried into Ye Sumang's office.
"Yezi, I'm still busy now. Tell me quickly if you have something to do." The company bought a new batch of photography equipment. Ning Hao was checking it out with love. Who would have thought that Ye Sumang would call him as soon as he called and said that this matter must be said in person. He had to reluctantly put down the latest camera and hurried over.
"It's a good thing!" Ye Sumang said with a smile: "Do you want to be a director?"
"What?" The impatience on Ning Hao's face suddenly turned into an unbelievable expression.
"If you are a director, you won't really want to do the camera job for me all your life, right?" Ye Sumang smiled, making Ning Hao**ben think about it for a long time, and he felt that the time was ripe now, and the company really lacked directors.
Ye Sumang said it simply, but it stopped in Ning Hao's ears and made the fat boy's head blank for a moment. Director, he dreamed about these two words countless times in his dreams, but the opportunity was really placed in front of him, and his heart felt full of complexity.
"Ye Zi, I'm going to be a director, what should I do if the photography team?" Ning Hao wanted to ** very much, but he felt that he couldn't live without Ye Sumang. After more than a year of getting along, the two of them have always been gold medal partners. Now they suddenly separated. In fact, not only Ning Hao was reluctant to leave, Ye Sumang was also reluctant to leave.
"That boy Bai Ge has the understanding, so there is no problem with letting him take over your position. And he doesn't let you be the director immediately, you must also give me a script that satisfies me."
"This is no problem! I just want to think about the script!" Ning Hao had an excited smile on his face and hurriedly left Ye Sumang's office. However, this time he did not run to the photography department, but went back to his hut and thought about the script.
In the next three days, the box office of "The World Without Thieves" and "Mobile Mobile" has always been the focus of media attention, but everyone was soon disappointed. "The Mobile"'s box office is very good, and it will exceed 10 million in four days. However, compared with "The World Without Thieves" with a box office of 30 million a week, it is not a little bit worse. Feng Xiaogang lost at the starting point before the fight even started, which was unexpected by everyone.
Many pro-Feng media began to make excuses for the big director to start essays, but none of them found faults in the film, and instead accidentally pointed the box office gap to the investment of both.
"The World Without Thieves" invested a total of 30 million yuan, while "Mobile Mobile" only invested seven million yuan. It can be said that Liu Dehua's salary alone in "The World Without Thieves" is equivalent to the investment in the entire film of "Mobile Mobile". They made a ratio based on the investment in movie tickets and the profits of box office, and believed that "Mobile Mobile" still exceeded "The World Without Thieves" in terms of profit.
However, after reading this report, Ye Sumang smiled disdainfully. Even Feng Xiaogang, who was far away from the other end of Kyoto, was the same. He was not a person who could not afford to lose. The box office data was there, and no matter how he refused, he still lost. He knew this very clearly and generously admitted it to everyone.
However, soon, the media's statement had no foothold. After the first week of "The World Without Thieves" earned 30 million in box office, the second week actually increased instead of decreasing, reaching 45 million in a week, and the total box office revenue also reached 75 million in a shocking amount. This is only two weeks of box office revenue. According to the release period of the World Without Thieves, the box office of this film will definitely reach a very amazing number by then.
As for "Mobile Phone", which was previously regarded as an opponent, it earned 25 million yuan in eleven days under the suppression of "The World Without Thieves", which was definitely a good result in previous years. Perhaps it would be the box office champion of the New Year holiday. However, this year's dark horse "The World Without Thieves" made this originally seemingly good result immediately.
