While the couple was talking here, a female bodyguard walked in from outside.
As she got closer, she said to Qiao Guo'er: "Guo'er, there are guests outside. They are..."
"Oh, you're here so soon?" Qiao Guoer cheered up and interrupted her, "Well, hubby, I don't feel comfortable here. Please help me invite the old gentleman over. Be polite!"
"I know!"
Xiao Qi naturally accepted his wife's coquettishness, stood up and walked out.
The female bodyguard had a helpless expression on her face. What are these two doing? They started talking before they finished speaking. This is totally wrong!
But after thinking about it, she felt that it was not a big deal if she made a mistake, so she followed Xiao Qi out and then finished the remaining half.
"You said Liu Chang came instead of a master of traditional Chinese medicine and brought a movie star with him?" Xiao Qi was a little surprised.
"Yes, Mr. Liu still has a gift in his hand. It seems to be to congratulate Guo'er on her pregnancy." The female bodyguard replied, "But he also brought a male celebrity here. It seems that he has some request for Guo'er."
These female bodyguards have been with Qiao Guoer for several years, and they know a lot about these things. They are basically the same as Xiao Qi's bodyguards, and can be used as half assistants.
Xiao Qi nodded, "Then go and have a look!"
With that said, Xiao Qi strode downstairs.
"Hey, let me tell you, why did so many male bodyguards suddenly appear in the yard? It turns out it's Xiao Qi and you're here!" Liu Chang's sharp eyes saw Xiao Qi coming from a distance, he stood up and said hello with a smile.
.
A middle-aged man next to him also stood up, with a small smile on his face, which was obviously squeezed out.
Xiao Qi recognized who this person was at a glance. Wasn't he Jiang Bawang?
He has been a bully since he was a child, and became a bully and a genius after entering the Chinese drama industry. Teachers praised him and students worshiped him, as if he was an absolute superstar.
In fact, Jiang Wen did not disappoint everyone. He played a big role in Furong Town, and Red Sorghum made him famous. Then just when everyone thought that a real superstar was about to appear in the Chinese film industry, this guy suddenly
He turned to become his own director.
Director Jiang Wen was also unambiguous. Although several of his films were met with mixed reviews by radio and television, none of them failed to attract the admiration of filmmakers, and ordinary audiences loved them even more. Even after many years,
After a movie is lifted from the ban, countless people still download it to watch it exclusively.
Therefore, this man who has been tough and tough along the way is not only the favorite of film critics, but also the favorite of actors, and he is also the favorite character of the audience.
The movie that made Jiang famous and profitable is naturally the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" released at the end of this year. This movie can be said to be the best Chinese movie that has exploded in the past ten years. In terms of concept, plot, and interpretation,
In terms of excitement, conflict, etc., it is all top-notch. If it had not suffered from insufficient publicity and was released when the film market has not yet fully opened up, and had it been released in 2013, the box office would have been at least 1.5 billion.
RMB.
Of course, this year's box office of more than 600 million is still enough for it to make people shine.
Xiao Qi likes "Let the Bullets Fly" because the plot is not pretentious, powerful yet delicate, touching and thought-provoking. It is indeed Jiang Bawang's work.
Thoughts flashed by, Xiao Qi came closer, shook hands with Liu Chang first, and then with Jiang Wen, "I like Mr. Jiang's movies very much, and I didn't expect to meet him today. It's a pleasure to meet him."
"Which of my movies does Mr. Xiao like?" Jiang Wen was not polite and asked after sitting down.
Hearing his careless tone, Liu Chang frowned, but still held back his words.
Xiao Qi said with a smile. "Red Sorghum is good, Gun Hunt is good, and sunny days are good. The only thing I can't appreciate is Furong Town. I don't think you should act in such a movie. The tough guy is specially made for you."
noun."
Jiang Wen smiled when he saw this. Furong Town is definitely an unpopular movie for today's young people, but Xiao Qi's ability to say this means that he has really seen it.
"I heard that Guo'er is pregnant again. I've been busy and haven't had time to congratulate Qi Shao and Guo'er!" Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the thing in his hand, "This is specially for recuperating the body.
Although the bird's nest is not a valuable thing, it is still much more authentic than the fake blood bird's nest."
The matter of fake blood bird's nests was revealed by Xiaoniao.com last year, causing a complete reshuffle of the bird's nest market across the country. I don't know how many people hate Xiaoniao.com.
However, Xiaoniao.com's brand is too strong, and any slanderous report cannot sway them at all, and can only make those unscrupulous businessmen depressed.
"Thanks!"
Xiao Qi took the bird's nest gift box and said harmoniously, "Mr. Liu, it shouldn't be that simple for you to come over today, right? If you have anything to say, just say it, we are not outsiders."
He didn't want to be polite to Liu Chang. His wife was still waiting for him upstairs, so she didn't have time to chat with him today.
Liu Chang didn't expect this, but Xiao Qi's statement that he was "not an outsider" made him smile broadly, "Master Qi, I'm not going to hide it from you, the purpose of my visit this time is related to Lao Jiang.
He has made a new movie called "Let the Bullets Fly". The prototype of the script is still the work of Mr. Ma from Sichuan. We read it and thought it was good.
But Lao Jiang's recent works have not been outstanding. As you know, the previous banned movies have had a bit of an impact on his reputation, so the major theaters seem to be less supportive. We came here today to ask Guo'er
, can you give us a little more support during the Christmas and New Year periods so that we can have a good start?"
Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "The number of screens provided by Kiwi is very small?"
"It's quite a lot, more than 600 yuan. If the response is good, it will be increased to about 1,000 yuan." Liu Chang said: "Including other company theaters, we have negotiated a total of more than 1,200 yuan. During Christmas
When there are so many blockbusters on the schedule, it’s pretty good.”
"But I have great ambitions. I want them to see more of what a real movie is." Jiang Wen continued next to him, "So I thought, why should I get 2,000 yuan?"
Mr. Xiao, do you dare to bet with me, just like you bet with Director Cameron?"
The bet between Xiao Qi and Cameron regarding "Avatar" is no longer a secret in the film industry. It has become a legend, proving how vicious Xiao Qi's vision is.
When Jiang Wen said this, Xiao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang, what you mean is that you and James are at the same level?"
When Liu Chang heard this, he screamed inwardly, "Who is Xiao Qi, that is, James Cameron? How can a movie king like James Cameron be qualified to discuss business with him? No matter how arrogant Jiang Wen is, he is one of the most powerful people in the country."
Director, haven't you seen that the big guys at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television are all subservient to Xiao Qi and don't dare to say anything? And they blocked your movie without hesitation!
But Jiang Wen was not afraid. The most important thing in life was confidence.
He heard the words and nodded, "You give me 1,500 ordinary screens. If there is no good response during the two-week screening period, then all the dividends I deserve will go to you. If I can exceed 200 million a week, then you will give me
If we increase the number of screens to 2,000, the division will still be based on your rules, okay?"
Xiao Qi smiled brightly, "Mr. Jiang, do you know how many ordinary 2D screens Kiwi Cinema has in China? Even if there are about 500 more screens now, there are only more than 2,500 2D screens. Almost all of them are given to you.
, how do we explain to others?”
"I am confident that I can match this number of screens." Jiang Wen looked at Xiao Qi seriously and said.
"Well, the Christmas and New Year schedules won't work. There are several movies waiting for you. It's hard to be partial." Xiao Qi pondered for a while and then said: "But if you are willing to put the movie in the schedule at the end of June, then I can follow your instructions.
The arrangements mentioned. In addition to what you mentioned, the city will be divided into 50-50 divisions, okay?"
Jiang Wen lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "There was Feng Buck Tooth's Tangshan Earthquake in late July. The time you gave me was too urgent. If the time could be relaxed to two months, I personally would have no problem."
He is not a fool. The summer season is also one of the most important periods of the year. If the Kiwi Theater can give him such great support, plus other theater chains can negotiate, it is certain that 3,000 screens will be opened. This is amazing.
It’s much better than the Christmas and New Year stalls.
With Jiang Wen's influence and the strong strength of the Kiwi Cinema Line, are you still afraid of being in trouble?
When he said this, Xiao Qi admired him very much.
Being able to make such a decision in such a short time shows not only confidence but also courage.
Liu Chang could no longer keep silent at this time, "Qi Shao, it's already June 10th now. Even if it's released at the end of June, there are only 20 days left, how can the publicity keep up? I'm afraid it's not good for the movie, right?"
"Since Mr. Jiang is confident, how can you not be confident?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "What's more, in this Internet age, 20 days is enough... At most, Mr. Jiang and the leading actors will have to work harder."
"Haha, you are right to say that, but can you increase the share a little bit..." Liu Changsun smiled and said, "It's 50/50 in the first week. Isn't that a bit exaggerated? How about 80/50 in the first week?"
Two, let’s go 50-50 from the second week? We invested so much, why don’t you let us earn a little more to recoup our capital?”
"Okay, just do as you say!"
Xiao Qidao, "But remember, if the total box office in the first week does not reach 200 million, then "Let the Bullets Fly" will have no future!"
"You won't have this opportunity." Jiang Wen grinned, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation, Mr. Xiao!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
Xiao Qi also laughed.
This Jiang Wen is quite interesting! (To be continued.)
