Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters slightly inferior
"Yida Films originally planned to abandon this project. After all, Chinese science fiction films are undoubtedly the tallest among the short ones in the entire film market..."
"If it were Yida in the past, naturally he wouldn't mind investing in such an illusory future. Maybe he could win a future. But now, if Yida wants to solve its urgent needs, it will naturally try its best to reduce its burden..."
Principal Wang said lightly, and then changed the topic, "I just accidentally discovered that your kid also voted for this movie, so I just did a favor and thought of giving you the share of Yida..."
"This is a free gift agreement, and Yida has already invested 100 million. Other than that, the conditions agreed to by Yida Cinemas will not change. Once you sign it, it's yours!"
"How are you doing? Will you answer it?" Principal Wang asked with great interest.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled freely when he heard this and accepted the small gift without hesitation. At the same time, he did not forget to joke, "As expected of the old man, this is a small goal. Please convey my gratitude to me for this project."
I’m really interested…”
"It just so happens that I will invest another 100 million to make this project more fully funded..." Zhou Dongsheng said enthusiastically.
At the same time, he was still calculating in his heart. It seemed that he would be the one to match up the "Space Warriors" in this life. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel bad taste in his heart, and he always felt an inexplicable pleasure.
"You kid, do you even think so highly of this movie? This is a Chinese science fiction theme. Among the many themes of Chinese movies, it is definitely a barren land with no grass growing..." Principal Wang couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Some things have to be done by someone. It doesn't matter whether they succeed or not, but if there is a first one, there will naturally be a second one..." Zhou Dongsheng's plain words made Principal Wang feel shocked.
It seemed that he suddenly understood why his old man would solemnly praise the young man in front of him...
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng felt secretly happy. This was such a pretense, so damn cool!
"It seems that the old man really guessed it right. He really did what he wanted. I want to thank you for it. He is very busy now. But after listening to your suggestion, the old man made a decisive decision and sold off part of his assets in advance..."
"I didn't expect that my bet turned out to be right. You were really helpful... On behalf of my old man, thank you."
Principal Wang buried his thoughts deeply in his heart and turned to talk casually. At the end of the sentence, he changed the subject, looked at Zhou Dongsheng especially seriously, and said solemnly.
He obviously remembered this favor. Although the old man said it lightly, Principal Wang was not a fool after all, regardless of the rumors that a storm was coming outside, or the old man's generous thank you gift...
Principal Wang, who is in the middle of the situation, feels all these things very clearly.
"Hey, you guys, you really want to thank me. Forget about the sports car and everything else, just give me the whole Yida. This thing is so exciting..."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly and made jokes to change the topic.
"Okay, tell the old man, the Yida is not mine. If it is the Panda, I can make the decision..." Principal Wang understood Zhou Dongsheng's meaning and interrupted with a laugh.
There are some things that are enough to keep in mind, but talking about them openly seems to be too deliberate. But now, the friendship between the two of them is not only at the level of common interests, but maybe a little higher...
Principal Wang's unintentional words made Zhou Dongsheng remember a little bit that after the live broadcast industry experienced a period of chaos, the industry order has basically been established.
Especially after the reshuffle of the Qianbo War, all the players with no strength were shuffled out of the card table, and then it almost entered the battle royale stage of the industry.
As the poisonous circle shrinks, the industry crisis that was originally hidden under the industry's growth trend will gradually emerge, and even Principal Wang's Panda platform is no exception.
However, not long ago, Panda Platform has just completed the B round of financing of up to 1 billion yuan. After this round of financing, the valuation of Panda Platform has also exceeded 7 billion, and it has launched a sprint towards the 10 billion mark. It is a great success
When you are angry.
Coupled with the current situation of Yida, maybe Principal Wang still harbors the idea of reversing the decline. Even if he gives a warning, it will probably only have the effect of pouring cold water...
In this way, it is counterproductive. The so-called good words are always relative. If they are inappropriate, even "loyal words that are unpleasant to the ears" are in vain.
So why bother with wishful thinking?
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng realized that the time had not come yet, and temporarily put back the thoughts that arose in his heart.
While chatting and laughing, Principal Wang also drove his car to the entrance of a hotel owned by Yida in Shanghai.
Since the two of them were delayed a little while talking about personal matters, everyone else arrived at the hotel first, and under Principal Wang's instructions, someone would naturally take them to their rooms to rest.
After all, Principal Wang is also one of the investors of this movie. Zhou Dongsheng contributed money and effort. It is reasonable for him to arrange accommodation issues.
"Get out of the car. I won't interfere with your good affairs. My brother has specially arranged a presidential cover for you. The rest is up to you..."
Zhou Dongsheng opened the car door and got out of the car. Principal Wang sat in the driver's seat and said meaningfully. The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, saying nothing.
Then Principal Wang walked away in a hurry, and a smiling staff member wearing a Chinese cheongsam came up to him in time and made a false gesture of invitation.
"Hello, Director Zhou, Mr. Wang has already given instructions, I will take you there right now..."
Zhou Dongsheng nodded lightly, followed leisurely, and looked at the interior of this seven-star hotel, which is known as the most luxurious hotel in Shanghai, with great interest.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a majestic and splendid Oriental, almost luxurious and gorgeous brushwork, as if there is a luxurious wind blowing in your face, and whether it is decoration or furnishings, everything shows the high-end and classy style of the hotel.
As a benchmark for Yida on the Bund, the land for this hotel alone is said to be worth more than 9 billion. It once became the king of land in Shanghai, and the price was the same as the transaction price seven years ago.
Today, more than 3.4 billion has been spent to build such a landmark building, with the total value easily exceeding 10 billion, which seems to be a profile of the high-spirited Yida at that time.
Even if it is facing a cash crisis now, Yida will probably not choose to sell this hotel unless it is a last resort. After all, this is equivalent to a gold-gilded business card belonging to Yida. Just putting it there makes people sigh.
Regarding this, Zhou Dongsheng had only one emotion in his heart, and that was: The spectacle is ruining the country! Your Majesty!
Ahem, of course, this idea only stayed in my mind for a moment, and I threw it away with a little emotion. It is a bit expensive, but it is not unaffordable if I lose my money (funny)...
Under the guidance of a dedicated person, we took the independent elevator all the way to the top floor. After that, the staff was very sensible and had no intention of getting out of the elevator, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Dongsheng.
"Hello, Jay Chou, go forward and you will find the presidential suite on the left. I wish you a pleasant stay..." Then he closed the elevator door with a smile. Apparently, the hotel has done a good job in protecting privacy.
Zhou Dongsheng reached out and wanted to ask for the room card, but he had already run away. Maybe such a high-end hotel does not need a room card?
Zhou Dongsheng didn't think it through, so he continued to walk in, stood outside the door of the first room on the left, and tried pressing the door handle, but it didn't open.
I couldn't help but look around. There was no fingerprint or face recognition. How to open this door? Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
However, at this moment, the door opened from the inside, revealing a fresh and beautiful face. When he saw Zhou Dongsheng, a pair of fox eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of amusement.
"Tell me, why are you so generous in arranging a presidential suite for me? The relationship was arranged by Jay Chou, right?" Ni Ni leaned against the door frame and asked with her hands crossed.
Now Zhou Dongsheng figured it out. He originally thought that he had to exert all his strength, but he didn't expect that Principal Wang's arrangement was so thoughtful that he even pushed himself in front of the door.
In this situation, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Zhou Dongsheng naturally had no reason to retreat.
In the midst of the lightning, he showed a smile, took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "Although our bet has not been announced yet, is it not too much for me to collect some interest in advance?"
You know, the charming eyes are shining with light, the mouth is slightly open, and the door is closed, and there is no one in the corridor.
A night of silence.
…
Early the next morning, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the messy ground. Zhou Dongsheng slowly opened his eyes. The beauty with lazy green hair beside him was no longer there, leaving only an inexplicable meaning in the air.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. He knew exactly where the beauty was going, so he simply stopped thinking about it, turned over and went back to sleep.
At the same time, Ni Ni, who was sitting in the nanny car, covered up her tired face with exquisite makeup. After yawning, she went to the next road show location with the creative team. Fortunately, she was also in the magical city, so she didn’t have to be too nervous.
Too much trouble.
Today is also the day when "Wolf Warrior 2" is officially released. Regardless of whether it is online or offline, or the creative team, without exception, they are all busy, trying their best to increase the popularity of the movie.
The colleagues at Dongsheng Media are no exception. It can be said that they are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers and using all means to stand the last duty for the boss's debut on the screen.
Anchors big and small are even willing to spend their own money to give away free movie tickets through lottery, and invite fans and friends to come and support them. What's more, they are even spending huge sums of money to support offline bookings. Fans can watch as long as they show up with their vouchers.
However, no matter how hard Dongsheng Media works now, this overwhelming momentum is basically limited to online. As for offline, the display of materials such as movie posters in theaters is naturally beyond their capabilities.
This is what distributors and theaters need to handle. Fortunately, behind a successful commercial blockbuster, these are never lacking.
With such a large investment in advance publicity, the effect is naturally immediate. With the official release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the statistical work on box office statistics has naturally begun in full swing.
For a time, countless pairs of eyes in the industry were staring at it, both covertly and covertly, wanting to see how the freshly released data performed?
If the thunder is louder than the raindrops, this movie will undoubtedly become the biggest laughing stock in the industry, and Zhou Dongsheng's cross-border cameo will undoubtedly become the biggest breakthrough.
I don’t know how many people are secretly preparing for it. As soon as the data is released, if there are any flaws, they will definitely work hard to output it.
However, that night, as the fresh data came out, it easily silenced everyone in Youyou, leaving them silent. At the same time, the industry was also in an uproar.
"According to incomplete statistics, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" successfully exceeded 100 million in just 3 hours after its release, setting a record for the fastest domestic film to exceed 100 million, which greatly boosted the sluggish momentum of domestic films in the first half of 2017...
"
"The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was released on the first day, and the 24-hour box office successfully exceeded 300 million, setting a new benchmark for domestic movies. However, it is still slightly inferior to imported blockbusters. In the first half of 2017, the imported blockbuster "Speed and
"Passion 8" set a record of 1.7 billion box office on the first day..."
"The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" successfully exceeded 300 million on the first day. The 1.5 billion bet may have lost its suspense. The well-known film critic Zhou Dahai said: I am willing to admit defeat!"
As the data was released one after another, the entire film market was in an uproar. You must know that the premiere day of "Wolf Warrior 2" is a working day.
This means that breaking the record of 300 million on the first day is not the limit of "Wolf Warrior 2". The real limit will not be known until the weekend.
After all, the movie market also has off-season and peak season, and the dividing line between the two is very obvious, and there will be a very obvious gap in the number of moviegoers.
Affected by the objective factor of working days, the vast majority of viewers will not choose to go to the theater to spend time and energy to watch a movie after a tiring day of work.
No matter how much I like it, I will still save it for the holidays when I have plenty of time, and then choose to go into the theater and slowly enjoy this visual feast.
Such objective factors are often not shaken by subjective factors. No matter how overwhelming the propaganda is, it is impossible to make the fatigue of the workers disappear in a vacuum, right?
Therefore, even if Dongsheng Media tries its best, its overwhelming publicity campaign can only add fuel to the flames and add icing on the cake.
What really plays a decisive role is to return to the movie itself, and rely on the movie to see the real story.
And with the fresh release of the first-day box office, although "Wolf Warrior 2" has set a new benchmark for domestic movies, its performance of 300 million on the first day is still not as strong as the imported Hollywood blockbusters.
Especially close at hand, "Super 8", which was released in the first half of the year, not only set a record of 1.7 billion box office on the first day, but also exceeded 1 billion in box office in just 48 hours, or 2 days!
It has created a new record in the Chinese film market. After its predecessor "Fast 7" became the first domestically imported blockbuster to exceed 2 billion in box office, the sequel has once again continued this glory, and has further improved the record.
few.
This is the power of Hollywood blockbusters, which treat the global film market as their own backyard and can easily get whatever they want, harvesting massive box office revenue just like picking something out of a bag.
And when "Wolf Warrior 2" did not do as well at the box office on its first day, it was naturally used as a source of gossip, and negative voices continued to be heard.
