After the voting, when I came out of the conference room, the entire DJ company turned into a sea of joy. "Love Letter" is a movie that far surpasses "Love After Life" in terms of box office and recognition. Almost all employees
I have heard of Fang Yi, the invisible second boss.
Those who engage in this kind of technical work are somewhat idolatrous.
For them, Fang Yi is not only their idol in life, but also their boss in reality. He is also a popular actor. He lives a more chic life than the big boss Wang Tao, because Wang Tao still has to squat in the laboratory and work hard.
The solder joints are messy and the code is running.
It was obviously time for them to get off work, but these people deliberately stayed in the office, waiting for Fang Yi to come out and speak.
Fang Yi asked Wang Tao in a low voice, "I'm going to treat you to a guest to boost the box office. I'll treat you to a guest and you spend the money. What do you think?"
Wang Tao laughed, "How much box office do you want to earn?"
"Swiping tens of thousands of dollars. Did I really do it?"
"just go."
Fang Yi was not polite. He walked to the middle of the crowd and said, "Have you seen the movie "Love Letter"?"
"I've seen it."
"Want to watch it again?"
"think!"
"I invite you to go to the largest cinema in Pengcheng and reserve the theater. Everyone will have popcorn and Coke, is that okay? This is my apology for not coming."
"good!!!"
Most people agreed.
Fang Yi emphasized again, "If you have other entertainment activities, please focus on your own activities; if you have not finished your business and need to work overtime, then I am really sorry. You can ask me to reimburse the movie tickets within a month."
, it also includes movie tickets for your whole family. By the way, if you are willing to go today, you can also bring your family members with you, limited to three people."
"Note, everything is voluntary. And..."
Fang Yi deliberately paused for a few seconds to make everyone curious, then he said, "Although it's my treat, the money is paid by Mr. Wang. I would like to thank Mr. Wang for his generous donation. He is the supporter behind the scenes."
, help me save face."
As the big boss, Wang Tao was even happier. He gave Fang Yi a slap, "Do you think I'm so stingy? Are you reluctant to sell favors in the company?"
But Fang Yi said, "I'm too stingy and I can't bear to give up money."
The investors who had not left at this moment curled their lips when they saw this scene, and suddenly realized the truth about Wang Tao's support for Fang Yi. It may be because of sympathy, but the fundamental reason is that Fang Yi did not touch Wang Tao.
Tao's bottom line.
Who is Wang Tao?
He has a strong desire for control and is an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who refuses to sell even after selling 50% of his shares.
He can let people into his laboratory, and he can take out his precious aircraft to share with friends for a while, but he will make sure that the things are always his.
And Fang Yi is very suitable for him. Fang Yi's mind is not on seizing power. He is very prosperous in another track. He only shows his desire for control in movies. This is why Wang Tao is inclined to trust Fang Yi.
source.
At night.
The DJ employees saw the crazy fans of the second boss. These fans came from all over the country, and many of them were hardcore fans who had been following Fang Yi since the premiere. They were very disciplined, but they did very bad things.
Reasonable: The long queue extended to the whole street. They were dressed in all kinds of costumes. They were quite contemptuous of other movies and stars, like rational urban men and women who never chase stars.
However, as soon as he saw Fang Yi, he was so excited that he lost control of his expression.
Fang Yi smiled and waved his hand, which could make him faint with excitement.
Like knights on a pilgrimage, illuminated by the light of Allah.
This kind of spiritual connection has exceeded the understanding of normal people. For example, Wang Tao is a big man in science and engineering, and he created the first-generation DJ in his dormitory. Many people in the company admire Wang Tao.
However, even the most admired people are not so different from each other.
"Fang Yi!"
"Fang Yi!"
"Fang Yi!"
The huge sound filled the entire cinema. This kind of blind praise from a group was something Wang Tao had never experienced before. He couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Fang Yi doesn't want to do business - if the money is enough, who would want to get the bad reputation?
?”
——The news reached the two kings of China Film and Television. The two men were struggling with how to explain to shareholders.
China Film and Television's performance in the first half of the year was not good, and there were no films that carried the box office. Wang Zhongjun declared, "The second half of the year is the time to make efforts."
"Earthquake" really showed its strength, and then "Empire of Heaven" plummeted, and the time to maintain its glory was simply not enough to provide a complete experience. The stock price of China Film and Television showed the shape of the second half of a parabola.
"boom!"
Wang Zhongjun threw the ashtray onto the mahogany table and nailed a groove out.
Wang Zhonglei was trained silently.
Wang Zhongjun said to himself, "Where did I lose? Is it because I didn't do things badly enough? Or was it because Sequoia Capital set me up and used me as a stepping stone to help his partner Fang Yi."
Then he shook his head and said, "No way, Zhou Kui's acting skills cannot be better than the best actors in our company."
"He's not just a show off to me, he's the real deal. It's been four months and I haven't convinced the major shareholder Wang Tao. Now that the film's performance is compared like this... is it still possible? It's over. It's very blue."
"Zhonglei, please talk. Don't mention your daughter anymore. Let's talk about the matter now."
Wang Zhonglei said, "I think it's too early and too underestimating the enemy."
"Well, you continue talking."
"Sequoia Capital is indeed very strange and did not provide any substantial help - I originally thought that this kind of large consortium has a lot of control. Even if it can't persuade Wang Tao, it won't get zero votes in the final round of voting. Now what?
What are you doing? Have you done anything?"
Wang Zhongjun responded, "I know Sequoia Capital is not a good thing, and sooner or later it will come to deal with me... But it's like we are crossing the river together, you make a plan, I make a plan, and the river has not crossed yet.
The boat is falling apart."
He concluded, "The most important thing in business is 'momentum'. On momentum, any fool can make money. If you go against the momentum, it will be useless no matter how smart you are... We already have a bad momentum, and now we need to get it back in time."
My younger brother asked, "What movie do you rely on?"
"Rely on "If You Are the One 2". There is no way that film will lose money no matter what."
"It's hard to say, brother, when "Fei" is released, "Let the Bullets Fly" starring Fang Yi will also compete."
Wang Zhongjun was suddenly struck with ptsd and didn't even know what to answer. He felt that "If You Are the One 2" had no reason to be released on the market, but he also thought the same when "Tongtian Empire" was released half a month ago.
The younger brother asked again, "What should we do with Fang Yi? Should we forget about it?"
"How is that possible? If you continue to pay attention to him, sooner or later you will find something against him... I still don't believe that there is a perfect person."
——Counting from October 1st to the 13th, the movie "Love Letter" has grossed a total of just over 440 million in mainland China, of which 800,000 in box office screenings have to be included.
The box office in Japan has reached more than 4 billion yen, about 310 million. It is close to the results of "Red Cliff" in Japan. This number is still far from catching up with cartoons and Hollywood, and it is probably seventh in Japan's annual box office.
s position.
On the other hand, Fang Sang was promoted to Japan's ideal boyfriend. He won the first place in rankings such as "The man I most want to hold an umbrella with on a rainy day". This popularity allowed him to eventually win 13 million Nikon lens endorsements.
There are only three male stars in Asia, Fang Yi (centre), Kimura Takuya (Japan) and Rain (Korean), who have endorsed Nikon lenses.
This shows that the management has basically regarded him as the number one male star in mainland China and one of the top stars in Asia.
The box office in South Korea was around RMB 80 million, which was an average result. It suffered a big loss in the early stage. Moreover, "The Empire of Heaven" did well at the box office in South Korea, and was not beaten to the point of losing its armor. The box office in Hong Kong was 72 million, making it the best Chinese-language film in Hong Kong.
Best result ever.
The scattered figures in Southeast Asia add up to more than 50 million - most of which were contributed by Li Jiapo.
How much does it add up to?
It's almost ten.
The remaining half a billion is hard to come by. "Love Letter" is not a visual effects blockbuster that can be released for a month or two. On the contrary, its box office is concentrated in the first three weeks, or even the first week and a half. Later, as pirated films leaked out, the movie box office also declined.
Will stretch the hips quickly.
Fang Yi didn't care about the billion-dollar title. But China Film Group did. It urgently launched a bunch of interview programs for him and vowed to make up the last bit. To exert subjective initiative, it is necessary to overcome objective laws and create 5,000 yuan.
Wan come out.
Yin soldiers reserve the venue, and it is full at midnight - there are many ways to do it.
In the words of Han Sanping who later called Fang Yi to persuade him, "One billion is a big hurdle. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you still have to do it for the sake of domestic movies. Listen to me and you will do it this time."
