Adapted from the super big IP "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is jointly produced by Century Pictures, Huayi, and Wanda, produced by Cheng Guofu, directed by Wu Ershan, and starring Cao Jun's partners Shu Qi, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Xiaoqing, Yang Ying, etc.

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" has attracted extraordinary money since its release.

The box office on the first day was nearly 200 million, ranking first among all domestic films. It exceeded 900 million in the next 7 days and exceeded 1 billion in 8 days. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" has become the ninth domestic film with a box office of more than 1 billion.

.

Although it has successfully exceeded 1 billion, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon", which had high hopes in the industry, is still attracting less money than expected.

After the release of two new films, "Lao Pao Er" and "Bad Angel," the film schedule space of "The Secret of the Dragon" has also been squeezed, falling from about 60% to 20%.

Although the market share of "The Secret of the Dragon" has decreased with the release of two new films, "Lao Pao Er" and "Bad Angel," the entire Lunar New Year market has become hot under the combined influence of the three films.

And Cao Jun, the high-profile actor, has also increased his net worth, and his cumulative box office has reached an astonishing 7 billion yuan, up from 6 billion yuan!

However, as "Detective Chinatown" directed by Cheng Sicheng and starring Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Tong Liya and others is about to be released, the film schedule of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" is bound to continue to be impacted. Previously, Huayi Brothers Chairman Huang Zhongjun boasted that 30

The billion target is almost impossible to achieve.

January 10, 8pm.

The investors of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" held a grand celebration banquet in Beijing to celebrate the movie's box office exceeding the 1.6 billion yuan mark.

In addition to producer Chen Guofu, director Wu Ershan, leading actor Cao Jun and others, industry tycoons such as Huang Zhongjun also participated in the celebration banquet.

In other words, since Huayi Brothers was listed in China in 2009, one of the founders, Guang Zhongjun, relied on his connections in the mainland entertainment industry to catch up with the golden 10 years of Chinese movies and quickly climbed onto the domestic Chinese rich list.

.

Like other wealthy people, Huang Zhongjun also likes to collect. He took this opportunity to celebrate together and chatted with Cao Jun about his experience in collecting.

A necessary condition for collecting is financial permission. Wang Zhongjun, who is on the rich list, obviously has this condition. But unlike others, Huang Zhongjun's collections are all top-notch. He usually likes painting, and he prefers to collect the world's top paintings.

, Huang Zhongjun once laughed at himself, saying that he was an amateur painter, but the paintings Huang Zhongjun collected were by no means amateurs, and he spent 1 billion yuan on the collection.

In 2014, which was the peak period of the Huayi brothers, Huang Zhongjun bought a work by the world-famous painting master Van Gogh. This oil painting is Van Gogh's "Daisies and Poppies". Everyone knows that Van Gogh's works are relatively abstract and the paintings he painted during his lifetime were not valuable.

However, after Van Gogh's death, his oil paintings were highly regarded. Huang Zhongjun bought this painting for 377 million, creating the highest price ever paid by a Chinese overseas auction.

However, Huang Zhongjun did not stop there. Not long ago, Huang Zhongjun set his sights on Picasso's famous painting "Seated Woman with Hair in a Bun". Although there were many bidders, Huang Zhongjun's generosity really made many foreign bidders avoid it.

In the end, Huang Zhongjun won the first prize with a sky-high price of 185 million and pocketed this famous Picasso painting.

Huang Zhongjun was quite proud of his generosity in collecting. He also took advantage of the opportunity of this meeting to lobby Cao Jun to quickly list Century Film and Television Company, and then cash out his collection of art like him.

Huang Zhongjun put his hand on Cao Jun's shoulder and said earnestly: "Jun'er, for people like us, money is just paper. It will continue to depreciate with the passage of time and inflation, but art will not. The time of art will not

The longer it goes, the more valuable it will be..."

Listening to Huang Zhongjun's words, Cao Jun gradually became moved.

However, Cao Jun is different from Huang Zhongjun. Huang Zhongjun is now the chairman of a listed company and has absolute responsibilities and obligations for the development of the company and the stock price of shareholders.

Obviously, Huang Zhongjun took the money from stock cashing and became a hands-off shopkeeper. He indulged in collecting art and participated in various gatherings. He no longer cared much about the development of the company.

Cao Jun's Century Film and Television Company is not a listed company. No matter how well Century Film and Television Company operates, it does not need to be responsible to anyone.

In other words, Cao Jun wants to leave Century Film and Television Company now. He can leave at any time or sell the company to anyone. No one can say anything wrong with him, because Century Film and Television Company was founded by him and he did not rely on anyone else.

people.

As the saying goes, a gentleman loves his money and gets it wisely. Now that Cao Jun is in this position, he already has enough money. He has been unwilling to let Century Film and Television Company go public because he still has a conscience. He doesn't want to cut off the common people's leeks.

I don’t want to make money without conscience.

Of course, Cao Jun also thinks that collecting art is a good idea. Buying a painting can not only preserve its value, but can also be used to appreciate and cultivate one's sentiments. It kills two birds with one stone.

A few days later, Cao Jun and Huang Zhongjun participated in the Jiade Spring Auction.

In this Jiade spring auction, a calligraphy letter measuring just one square foot - "Bureau Affairs Note" by Zeng Gong of the Northern Song Dynasty was sold for an astonishing price of 207 million yuan, giving people a taste of the extraordinary value of ancient calligraphy.

It is worth mentioning that "Bureau Affairs Note" has a total of 124 words and is 936 years old. It has been collected by many celebrities in history.

It is undoubtedly a gratifying thing that ancient calligraphy has attracted the attention of collectors. However, due to the high threshold, many fakes, and great controversy of ancient calligraphy, it has long been a species reserved for a few experienced collectors.

Moreover, it remains to be seen whether this year's craze for ancient calligraphy and painting is an accidental phenomenon, whether it can transform from a niche market into a mass market, and whether it can last in the future.

However, in this Jiade Spring Auction, the news that Cao Jun spent 207 million to buy "Bureau Shitie" was also uploaded on the Internet.

"It's normal. My brother Jun is now not just a star, but a veritable entertainment tycoon!"

"It's normal for Brother Jun to have this kind of money. If he wants to make money, he can make more. If he wants to hold concerts, if he wants to, he can hold 100 concerts a year. But he

In the past few years, we have held more than 20 concerts in total..."

"Oh my God! Cao Jun is so rich, he is willing to spend 200 million on a painting!!!"

"Just an actor has such a terrifying wealth. I don't know if it's the tragedy of society or our country. I wonder what kind of contribution such an actor has to society. There are so many people holding him up. It's really ridiculous.

!”

"Actor? You are the fucking actor. Your whole family is an actor. My brother Jun is your father. You still say that my brother Jun has made no contribution to society. You don't know how much charity my brother has done!"

"That's right, don't think that just because you have learned the word "actor", you can go around chirping and pretending to be crazy. When did you need support, my military brother wasn't the first one to take the lead in donating money?"

"..."

Different from the unanimous praise in the past, after the news of Cao Jun's large purchase of "Bureau Shitie" was exposed, netizens' evaluation of him began to change.

However, generally speaking, there are more positive reviews than negative reviews.

Fortunately, Cao Jun has a good attitude and can face all the bad words calmly.
