Chapter 86 The Billion Movie Era

The movie market after the National Day holiday is going crazy!

On Friday, October 8th, the box office of "Manslaughter" was 42 million!

Saturday, October 9th, box office 68 million!

On Sunday, October 10th, the box office was 55 million!

…

Until the moment the picture was drawn, the cumulative total box office was 1.15 billion!

Compared with the previous generation, the box office is nearly 200 million less, but Chen Heyu is very satisfied. After all, the total film market today is only so large, and he has two advantages in achieving such results.

First, there is no competitor that can beat the National Day schedule;

Second, Mr. Han’s support, from the amount of films scheduled to the time of filming, is basically during prime time;

For the first time, a domestic film beat the Hollywood blockbuster in box office performance, leaping to the top of the box office in 2012.

"Painted Skin 2", released at the end of June, once ranked second in the year with a box office of 700 million. After "Manslaughter" surpassed the performance, he generously expressed blessings in the media. This is the beginning of the best era for filmmakers, and domestic films have officially entered the tenth century.

billion mark.

The only difference is that this time the pioneer is no longer Xu Shanzheng, but Xiao Yang from Shanhai Film and Television.

"Hey, I'm Xiao Yang, let's go to Yancheng for dinner next time? It's okay, it's no problem, Director Feng."

"Brother Cheng Long, hello, hello, it's definitely okay to make a cameo."

"Master Zhang, just call me Xiaoyang. Okay, let's talk next time we meet."

"..."

Xiao Yang has been on the phone all morning. In addition to industry seniors, there are also greetings from various major directors, all trying to understand the reason why "Manslaughter" has achieved such high box office.

"Xiao Yiyi, how do you feel?"

Chen Heyu joked, while placing the script of "Manslaughter 2" in front of him, stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the rows of high-rise buildings for a while.

"It's like a dream, really. I can't even imagine that "The Year in a Hurry" could have a box office of 600 million, let alone "Manslaughter"."

"But as a director, you must not shoot things that are in the clouds and fog. You must tell the story clearly."

Xiao Yang hesitated for a moment, thinking about it in his mind, and then came to a conclusion.

"Fortunately, my mentality is not inflated. I will study the second part of Manslaughter carefully and don't ruin Xiao Yiyi's reputation."

Chen Heyu smiled, took out his mobile phone, chatted with Luo Wenwen for a few words, and then asked: "That boy Cheng Xiao, is he free recently?"

When I was taking stock of the artists these days, I discovered that they had been on hiatus since filming "My Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk". How could this be possible?

The whole company is working hard, how can there be room for a freeloader?

"It seems that after signing the contract with Shanhai, I got resources for a web drama. If this continues, I'm afraid they will have to run away."

Xiao Yang smiled happily. He understood Chen Heyu's usual bad character, so he said in a hurry.

"Ask the screenwriting department to come up with the script for The Great Butler, and give this project to Li Xue until she finishes filming Nirvana in Fire."

Chen Heyu ordered.

This novel clearly could become a hit of the year with a little adaptation, but it is a pity that it was folded into the hands of Hua Zu, and it was so forced that the original author couldn't bear to look at it.

It has the same core as "The Deer and the Cauldron", it's an old wine in a new bottle, and with Cheng Xiao, a male god in ancient costume, playing the role, it shouldn't be a hit, right?

"I'm going to visit the crew of "Nirvana in Fire" this afternoon, will you go?"

"Forget it, I have to continue preparing for "Manslaughter 2"."

Xiao Yang shook his head and refused.

In the afternoon, Chen Heyu sat in a business car and drove along the highway to the crew of "Nirvana in Fire".

This drama is the largest investment project of Shanhai Film and Television. The production cost of each episode is as high as 2 million, which is a total of 100 million.

Strive to be meticulous in serving the Tao!

If a bad movie is made, many events in the future will stagnate. For example, future technology will definitely not be able to support it.

After arriving at the set, there were staff members leading the way.

This large-scale production, with an investment of hundreds of millions, attracted a large number of practitioners in Hengdian. When Chen Heyu arrived, it was lunch time.

The line of people queuing to receive boxed lunches stretches for hundreds of meters.

"Mr. Chen, the crew has finished shooting 2/3 of the scenes, and the remaining big scenes still need to be carefully polished."

Li Xue is a middle-aged woman. She can sit in the director's chair without a little effort and skill.

When the big boss came to visit the class, he took the initiative to report on the work.

"I can rest assured that you are doing the work. After this period of busy work, there will be a TV series that is also a big investment and is waiting for Director Li."

Chen Heyu gave a few casual words of encouragement, then moved out of "The Great Butler", chatted with Li Xue for a while, and then walked straight to the filming location.

Lao Hu wears a long-sleeved ancient costume, has a calm and cold face, and has forbearance and pain in his eyes, which perfectly fits the role of Mei Changsu.

"It really suits the role."

After Chen Heyu appreciated Hu Ge's acting skills, he discovered "Xiao Feiliu" Wu Lei. As the most popular actor born in the 1990s, Wu Lei's liquidated damages at this time were not high, so he was poached by Shanhai Film and Television.

Chen Heyu has always been kind to the company's artists, showing a gentle smile. After giving Wu Leihua a few big cakes, he began to figure out how to squeeze his labor force.

I just saw that he was really young, so I reluctantly let him go.

"Boss Chen, congratulations, you should have made a lot of money from this movie." Hu Ge finished the filming at this time and came back dragging his costume.

"Nirvana in Fire" is adapted from the online novel of the same name. It focuses on redressing unjust cases, supporting wise rulers, and revitalizing mountains and rivers. It tells the story of "Qilin Talent" Mei Changsu, who is extremely talented, uses his sickly body to clear away the fog, and fights wits with traitors.

The role of Mei Changsu fits Hu Ge's life experience. After a car accident in 2006, his acting career was severely affected. Although he took over the filming of "Sword and Sword III" and "Myth", he was unable to make a breakthrough.

In "Xuanyuan Sword", being a matchmaker has already represented the attitude of the sugar man in power, who wants to replace him with a new person.

Chen Heyu's drama is like providing help in times of need, with large investments and a highly sophisticated production team. Lao Hu understands the importance of this role and is quite moved.

"It's okay, let's just have some food."

Chen Heyu replied casually, leaning lazily on the sofa, thinking that most of Lao Hu's works were concentrated on TV series, and there were really few movies that broke the circle.

"Forget Versailles, I heard from Director Li that this drama is the exclusive investment of Shanhai, and the box office revenue alone is 400 million."

Hu Ge sat down, lifted the skirt of his robe, exposed his plush thighs, and used a small fan to cool down.

"Tell me, what's the matter? You never go to the Three Treasures Hall without any problem."

Hu Ge said with a smile.

"Give me a guest role in an online drama. Do you like it?"

What Chen Heyu is talking about is exactly "soul ferrying".

Because all of them are new people, how can we sell it at a high price if we don’t bring in some big names to make guest appearances?

Xiao Yang, Tan Songyun, and Li Xian were all sent to the "Soul Ferry" crew by him.

In the past, web dramas usually cooperated exclusively with Penguin Video. As soon as the news was released, both Aiqiyi and Youku.com came to the show through their connections, especially the person in charge of Youku.com was Xiao Yang's Bole back then.

You have to give some face, but Chen Heyu finally made the decision to bid. Anyway, he won't suffer any loss.
