In the first week of its release in mainland China, "Your Name" still ranked first in the same period.
The cumulative box office for one week reached over 600 million.
After all, the New Year's Day holiday only lasts for three days, and the box office of all subsequent movies has declined during the same period.
But even so, based on these results, the final box office can still be maintained at more than 2 billion.
Although the results are not as good as "Infernal Affairs" in the same period last year, or even not as good as Cherry Animation's previous two movies.
But it's still a very good result.
What's more, the box office in the island country for half a month has reached more than 1 billion.
Combined in the two markets, the box office is very impressive.
If it were another company, such an achievement would have been celebrated in a big way.
But Tongji Entertainment seems extremely unsettled.
As if everything was taken for granted.
...
But it's not without its benefits. At least Youman feels a lot more relaxed at this moment.
After all, the box office revenue of "Your Name" this time is good, which can be regarded as solving the cash pressure of Tongji Entertainment.
At the same time, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong also took leave and returned to Yicheng this time.
Attended the wedding of two high school classmates.
In fact, since Xu Ji and Sha Yetong became famous gradually, they really had no chance to contact some of their former classmates.
After returning this time, I met many acquaintances from high school.
Of course, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong were fine and greeted the others enthusiastically.
It's just that there is indeed an invisible barrier between classmates who have not been in contact for a long time, and Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's current fame and status.
"Lao Xu, I didn't expect you to actually come."
The groom, Shen Wanjun, was a little surprised when he saw Xu Ji.
Although they invited Xu Ji and Sha Yetong.
But I actually never thought that the other party would come.
"I will definitely do whatever you want to do when you get married."
Xu Ji smiled and answered.
Although the two were not roommates in high school, their relationship was actually very good.
These are all the deep friendships left over from the time we went to Internet cafes to hack together.
...
However, the bride and groom simply came over and chatted with them for a while, then left in a hurry.
Although getting married is a happy event, it is actually quite tiring.
This is especially true for the bride and groom, who are the protagonists.
At this time, many people at the scene had already recognized Xu Ji and Sha Yetong and were secretly taking photos.
In fact, this is not what Xu Ji and Sha Yetong want to see.
After all, it was someone else's wedding, and the two of them were not the protagonists.
However, because there are many acquaintances among the people who came, even though it was a little strange at first, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.
It didn't take long for some of Xu Ji's male classmates who were close friends in high school gathered around and began to inquire about some gossips in the entertainment industry.
However, these people obviously asked the wrong person, and Xu Ji actually didn't care about this.
In other words, with his current status, he is no longer a pure artist, and he really doesn't know much about celebrity gossip from other companies.
However, the process was quite pleasant.
Especially most of Xu Ji's roommates in high school were not really interested in entertainment industry gossip.
Just find a common topic that everyone can talk about.
...
Because Xu Ji and Sha Yetong came early this time.
In addition, the bride and groom were both classmates, so they quickly put on the clothes of the best man and bridesmaid.
The wedding was held in a rural area, so it didn't look as fancy as some Western-style weddings.
But the excitement is indeed really lively.
"Lao Xu, you and Sha Yetong..."
Xu Ji's high school roommate came over to inquire.
In fact, if Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are really together, most netizens will be surprised and excited.
But for these old high school classmates, it seemed perfectly normal.
Everyone is even wondering why the two of them in high school were able to get together after graduating from college.
Obviously when we were in high school, everyone agreed that they were a couple.
"Don't worry, if we really get married, I will definitely invite you."
Xu Ji said calmly.
...
The wedding process didn't have many twists and turns.
Accept the bride and then proceed with the normal wedding process.
Of course, after all, there were Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, so they both performed on stage for a while during the wedding.
The two sang a song "Today You Will Marry Me", and the atmosphere at the scene was also very good.
Although some people recognized the two, there were also some elderly people in the countryside who just thought the two young people sang well and didn't know they were celebrities.
When throwing the bouquet, Sha Yetong didn't even intend to grab it, but in the end it landed accurately in her hand.
The scene was filled with cheers.
Sha Yetong, a person who has held concerts with tens of thousands of people and appeared on various big stages, actually said that she started to blush at this time.
"Actually, it would be nice to hold a wedding in my hometown."
Taking the bouquet and walking to Xu Ji's side, Sha Yetong said.
"They are all acquaintances, and it's lively."
Xu Ji nodded.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if we hold a few more shows."
"Do it outside once, then come back here and do it again."
After Sha Yetong heard Xu Ji's words, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then glanced sideways at Xu Ji.
Xu Ji's expression didn't change much.
"But Lao Shen and Xiao Wang work in Shanghai, so it's really troublesome to travel back and forth."
Sha Yetong seemed a little disappointed after hearing this.
"You're talking about them..."
...
After Xu Ji and Sha Yetong attended the wedding, they did not return to the set immediately.
Xu Ji also returned to the company in Rongcheng first.
He actually also saw the box office results of "Your Name". Although he was a little surprised by such box office results, Xu Ji gradually got used to it.
The domestic box office of the previous film "Your Name" was actually not very high.
However, there are indeed some differences between the film markets of the two worlds.
The most important thing is that this time "Your Name" has indeed attracted more viewers because of the blessing of Tongji Entertainment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Ji has encountered this situation more than once.
It can also be seen from this point that the box office and popularity of the drama are actually different from what he had in mind.
For example, "Your Name" was definitely not that popular in the previous life.
Unknowingly, the influence of Tongji Entertainment itself has brought a considerable bonus to the work.
"Boss, I heard from Sister Man that you were looking for me?"
Xu Ji didn't stay in his office for long, and soon Kong Cheng came.
"I promise you about the new album. I have already written all the songs. It is best to record the songs within this month."
"I won't watch you record songs anymore."
Xu Ji opened his mouth and said.
Hearing Xu Ji's words, Kong Cheng had an expression of surprise on his face.
Kong Cheng has actually been looking forward to the album for quite some time.
For example, the Scream band has actually released a new album.
Although the response was very good, the songs in it were not as popular as the songs Xu Ji wrote before.
This is indeed a bit helpless. As the boss of the company, Xu Ji is really too busy. Most of them are on the crew or have various other things. He really doesn't have time to help them with the new album.
But even so, Kong Cheng still waited quietly.
The album that Xu Ji is responsible for and the songs written by the other party are definitely better than their own.
After waiting for such a long time, Xu Ji finally remembered.
"Boss, thank you."
Seeing that Kong Cheng was so moved that he was about to cry, Xu Ji quickly stopped him.
"Okay, I have to stay in Chengdu for a week, so I can quickly familiarize myself with these songs. If you have any questions, ask me in time."
Kong Cheng nodded, then turned and left.
Previously, Xu Ji was still thinking about asking Tongji Entertainment to sign more singers or something.
Now, he has thought it through clearly.
My energy is limited, so even if I sign a lot of singers, I can't take care of everyone.
On the contrary, it is better to identify these people now.
Try your best to let everyone reach a higher position.
Xu Ji's plan is to include all of Tongji's singers on the list of top-tier singers.
If some songwriters outside heard Xu Ji's ideas, they would probably be extremely surprised.
After all, to be a top-tier singer, one needs to be strong, but also to have good luck.
If it were really that easy, the list of top-tier singers wouldn't always be the same.
It is not too uncommon for people like Lee Bong Hwa to still not be able to become the king of singers after so many years.
Of course, it does seem a bit difficult to others, but in Xu Ji's opinion, it's actually not that difficult.
It's just a matter of whether you are willing to spend the time and energy.
...
"boss."
Soon, Yu Feifei also came.
But she is different from Kong Cheng. After all, she joined Tongji Entertainment later, and her previous relationship with Tongji Entertainment was not very good.
So when I saw Xu Ji, I was still a little cautious.
"You have already released several albums when you were in Phoenix Entertainment. Do you have any plans for a new album now?"
Xu Ji asked.
At this time, when Yu Feifei heard this question, her heart beat faster than expected.
The meaning of Xu Ji's words was already obvious.
Even though there was no plan for a new album originally, I still nodded without hesitation at this time.
Xu Ji took out a USB flash drive from his desk again and handed it to the other party.
"Take back the songs on this album and get familiar with them. If you have any questions, ask me as soon as possible."
Yu Feifei took it with trembling hands, feeling quite excited.
In fact, this year, she was also nominated for Golden Note's Best Female Singer.
Although I know that my chances of winning are not high, I still want to go on stage to receive the award.
But even if she wins the award, judging from the sales of her previous two albums, there is definitely a big gap if she wants to reach the standard of becoming a diva.
The sales of the album are very different.
She is still far from becoming a diva.
But if it is an album that Xu Ji helped produce, it seems that becoming a diva is not that far away.
After all, the sales volume of Sha Yetong's previous album had already reached the corresponding standard.
...
"Retirement planning takes another step forward."
Xu Ji muttered to himself.
In fact, Xu Ji had already thought about it before.
It's time for you to take a break.
Since the establishment of Tongji Entertainment, he has basically not had much rest time.
There is nothing we can do about this.
When the stalls get bigger and bigger, it is not so easy to stop.
But even if he was planning to retire, Xu Ji couldn't just take a break.
Now the entire Tongji Entertainment is basically supporting him alone.
Therefore, before retiring, Tongji Entertainment must resolve some of its worries.
At the very least, if Xu Ji can help these artists under the company, he will definitely help them.
Although they are basically on the front line now.
But Xu Ji still plans to elevate everyone to the top.
This matter is actually not difficult.
Currently, the artists under Tongji Entertainment are singers and actors.
For a singer to become top-notch, album sales and two major music awards are essential.
As for the actors, in fact, the quantity and quality of their works are quite sufficient.
I have also won a lot of awards, such as Ji Yiyang and so on, but I am just one small step away.
Of course, although he is said to be retired, Xu Ji feels that at most he will no longer film.
I will probably continue to write scripts and songs in the future.
On the one hand, Tongji Entertainment cannot do without him, and on the other hand, Xu Ji also feels that many of the works in his mind have not yet had a chance to be presented to the world.
It would indeed be a pity if it was buried like this.
...
"The first phase of screenwriting training has begun."
"However, although they are said to be newcomers, many of them are actually relatively mature screenwriters."
"There are even people who have won the Golden Lion Award for Best Screenplay."
Youman found Xu Ji and reported it.
Xu Ji nodded.
In fact, since Phoenix Entertainment began to actively promote the screenwriter core system, major film and television companies, including the three majors, have begun to pay attention to screenwriter talents.
The same goes for Tongji Entertainment. Xu Ji paid great attention to this aspect before.
But what he didn't expect was that Tongji Entertainment's current appeal was too strong.
The number of screenwriters who have signed up to join Tongji Entertainment is even more than ten times that of some other film and television companies.
This has also made competition between them fierce.
Xu Ji actually didn't show up for interviews or anything like that, but the related script assessment was considered Xu Ji's final decision.
I have to say that even Xu Ji thinks the scripts written by some screenwriters are of high quality and quite thoughtful.
We are planning to recruit new people, and even relevant training has been prepared.
But in the end, those who were selected were basically screenwriters who were relatively mature in their business.
Many of them are actually quite famous in the film and television industry, and there is no shortage of directors to choose their scripts.
But I still chose to come to Tongji Entertainment to start over.
The biggest reason is still because of Xu Ji.
Xu Ji may be well-known as a songwriter and director, but it is his role as a screenwriter that makes his colleagues admire and even worship him.
Many screenwriters have even regarded Xu Ji as their idol.
Being able to attract such high-level screenwriters is all because of Xu Ji.
At present, judging from the level of screenwriters in this first issue, the relevant training does not seem to take too much time.
