On November 9th, the first ray of sunshine in the late autumn morning shone into the hotel's luxurious suite, bringing a touch of warmth.
Last night's movement continued into the middle of the night. After a night of silence, both sides gathered their strength and the war resumed.
Tang An lay on his back on the bed, looking at Yang Mi who was struggling with a smile.
Tang An was afraid that he would not be able to sit firmly, so he loosened his hands and used them to hold his soft waist that was constantly swaying.
"How's it going? Do you want to have breakfast first before coming back?" Tang An smiled.
Yang Mi, who was sweating profusely, was panting heavily, his whole body flushed, his eyes full of amorous feelings, and he glanced at Tang An without saying a word.
When he really ran out of energy, he leaned down and supported Tang An with both hands.
...
Yang Mi was defeated in defeat last night, and he took the initiative to stir up trouble again early this morning.
After a while, Yang Mi, who had exhausted his last bit of strength, collapsed weakly on Tang An.
Tang An let her lie on top of him, letting her relax for a while, and slowly rubbed his smooth red back with his hands.
"It's better now, it's my turn." Tang An kissed her forehead and smiled.
"Huh...huh..."
Yang Mi gasped for air, and his warm breath hit Tang An's chest.
He rubbed his head from side to side, shook his head and murmured.
"I can't do it anymore... I have no strength."
"That won't work, I'm not done yet."
Tang An said with a bad smile, turned over and pressed her under him.
...
In the bathroom, the two of them soaked quietly in the bathtub.
"By the way, Mi Mi, why did you and LeTV break up about "Tiny Times 2"?" Tang An asked, patting her smooth back twice.
"I want to participate in investment, but LeTV and Guo Jinming refuse, so that's it."
Yang Mi turned over, leaned on Tang An, and said lazily, "If they don't let me invest, then let them change to a heroine."
Snap...
Tang An slapped her on the thigh and scolded her with a smile, "How can you be so angry and threatening when talking about business? If you fail to reach an agreement, do it twice. If it fails twice, do it three times. Don't block the road directly."
"It's not that I don't want to talk, LeTV is too greedy and won't give in at all, and don't they even want to do the distribution themselves?" Yang Mi said.
Tang An was right when he thought about it. Zhang Zhao was too greedy. Seeing the success of the first film, he relied on Guo Jinming's fame to win more than 500 million box office without a star.
With the foundation of the first film, it will definitely not be too bad in the future. Zhang Zhao wants to take the distribution part and let LeTV publish it himself.
"Forget it then. It doesn't matter whether this film is made or not. It's just the first one and it's been scolded badly. If I make two more films, I'm sure the scolding will be bad. It won't be good for the artists either." Tang Anxiang thought.
"Brother An, do you care about Xiaodi very much? Do you have a crush on her?" Yang Mi asked with some amusement.
Tang Annuo flirted with the pair of stalwarts and said with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Yang Mi curled his lips and said, "You just have to like it if you like it."
Tang An shook his head, "Remember what I told you before, we must maintain the company's ability to continue to create stars, so that it will not be controlled by one or two artists and take over the spotlight. In the end, we have to provide for you like an uncle."
"Xiao Di has the most potential in your company right now. She has good looks and figure, and she is not a cookie-cutter beauty. She has her own characteristics and is remembered by the audience. She is also the easiest to praise."
"In addition, I have starred in a popular movie, and the foundation is already there. I have two more popular TV series, and I can support her immediately. So you can't help it even though you feel unhappy now, you still have to support her, otherwise she will be tonight It has to be at a dinner party of some big shot."
Yang Mi was speechless, rolled his eyes at Tang An, and said angrily, "Am I that bad!"
"That's not certain." Tang An smiled.
"Think about it for yourself. As an artist manager, don't let artists climb over the company. Look at Huayi. Wang Jinghua took those people away back then. In fact, he didn't break his muscles at all."
But after Cheng Tian left Wang Jinghua, his artist management business was completely over. Originally, Wu Bo was also on guard against Wang Jinghua and hired Liu Yu from ACC to be the director of the artist management department. However, I poached her and she was completely ruined."
"Even if the Deng Dynasty, Wang Baoqiang, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, and Wang Xiaoming all left in the past two or three years, or they were working in the studio, Hua Yi immediately began to praise Deng Kai, Chen He, Feng Shaofeng, Zhao Youting, Yang Ying, and the others. It takes less than two years to be successful. Huayi has the ability to continue to create stars. If a group of people leave, they will immediately win a group of stars. It is impossible for artists to control them."
After giving Yang Mi a management class, we hung out for a while, had breakfast together, and then everyone went about their own business.
...
In the past, the Lunar New Year holiday was calculated from the beginning of December. However, in the past two years, due to the success of "33 Days of Love" and "Strategy of My Ex" in November, November, which was originally just a prelude to the Lunar New Year holiday, has become more popular. .
This year, Li Yi's new film "Life of Pi" and Feng Xiaogang's masterpiece "1942", which took two years to polish, will also be released in November.
There is also the 3D remake of "2012". Hollywood saw that the 3D remake of "Titanic" sold 1 billion yuan in China, and wanted to make another profit.
One billion RMB, converted into US dollars, is 150 million.
And now that the share of imported films has been raised to 25%, North American producers can get a share of US$37.5 million!
How much does it cost to convert?
If you just simply cut out the pictures and add depth, even if you give it to a Hollywood special effects company, just $5 million would be enough.
How is it possible to expect them to spend tens of millions of dollars like "Titanic"?
With such easy money, who wouldn't do it?
Prior to this, on November 8, "The Stolen Five Years" and "Kuaiben: Happy Home" released by Hantang Media were released on the same day.
There are only two important movies in the same period, and the market capacity is getting bigger and bigger, so two low-budget movies can be fully accommodated.
After two hit movies, "Love Is Not Blind" and "Detective Chinatown," Yang Mi has firmly established herself on the big screen and has a certain box office appeal.
Moreover, the films and TV series produced in this time and space in the past two years are all high-quality films, with basically no bad films, and the reputation among the audience is also very good.
In the absence of a heavyweight opponent, "The Stolen Five Years" undoubtedly won the box office championship on the day with a box office of 23 million on the first day.
Nearly 50% of the films scheduled are distributed by Han and Tang Media, and the scale of publicity is not small at all. The box office of 23 million is not too high. It can only be said that Yang Mi is quite famous, and Han and Tang Media have strong publicity capabilities.
If "The Stolen Five Years" is still within the acceptable range, then "Kuaiben: Happy Home", which only had 12% of the films scheduled, grossed 14 million on the first day and ranked second on the box office list that day, which is shocking.
My eyes were dumbfounded!
This is "Kuaiben's Happy Home", a movie starring Kuaiben's host team!
If you look at the films they have acted in the past, they are basically bad films similar to "Hee Travels".
As soon as the box office came out, all the major companies were confused. No one expected that such a completely bad movie could achieve such a high box office, and it was achieved with only 12% of the film schedule.
.
It is obvious that the theater chain only schedules 12% of the films. It is clear that they are not optimistic about this movie, and there is really no movie.
Otherwise, if it is released one month later, let alone 12%, it will not be able to get 8% of the scheduled films.
I'm shocked, but it may be because the variety show Kuai Ben is too popular, and the title of this movie carries Kuai Ben's name.
On the first day, the audience went for the quick release, so it makes sense that the box office would be high, but then the movie's reputation would definitely be bad, and the box office would definitely plummet.
Everyone thinks so, after all, it’s unreliable no matter how you look at it.
The next day, the box office of "The Stolen Five Years" rose to 25 million.
However, "Kuaiben: Happy Home" still received 14 million on the second day, which was the same as on the first day.
Usually the holiday is about to start on Friday, so the box office has to go up a bit, but "Happy Home" has basically not gone up, which is enough to show that the movie's reputation is not good.
Then on Saturday and Sunday, "The Stolen Five Years" received 29 million and 26 million at the box office respectively, and it earned 103 million in four days of release!
It exceeded 100 million in the first four days. Compared with the cost of 15 million, it is undoubtedly a huge hit.
During the same period, the love movie "Love Who" starring Jaycee Chan and Zhang Nala just exceeded one million in box office in three days.
The remake of the classic movie "New Mom Love Me Again" stars Jing Tian and Lu Yi. It is produced by the four major companies of Starlight, Poly Wanhe, Hengdian and China Film, and it is announced that this classic is still messed up.
3.5 million in three days, and there was a lot of criticism on the Internet.
"Kuaiben: Happy Home" scored 15 million and 10 million respectively in two days, and the drop on Sunday was still relatively large.
Even so, it still received a super high box office of 53 million in four days, ranking second in the weekly box office.
Such a movie, which is obviously a money-making operation, was able to sell 53 million yuan in four days, but it shocked even the industry colleagues.
How shocked is it?
Even with such a high box office, there were no other movies during the same period except for the two previously released Hollywood blockbusters, Huayi's "Tai Chi 2" and "The Stolen Five Years", and the theaters were stunned not to schedule movies.
To put it bluntly, no matter how high the box office is, you don’t dare to schedule multiple movies, you don’t have the confidence.
Not to mention the theater chain, even He Jiong and the others didn't think of it.
In the reception room of a certain movie theater, He Yan and the others were waiting for the road show to start and chatting.
"I didn't expect that our movie would have a box office of over 100 million." Xie Na said excitedly.
"You ask me whether I want to change careers and go to the big screen. I feel that I am still very suitable for making movies." Li Weijia said seriously.
Xie Na attacked mercilessly, "Don't be ridiculous. If you act in a movie, I can become a director."
Du Futao answered, "Sister Na, you can give it a try. Isn't Zhao Wei also making a movie?"
"Yes, Guo Jinming can shoot, Zhao Wei can shoot, and so can I."
As we talked, we got too far away and got into making movies. Anyone can make movies about their emotions.
...
In the large conference room of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhongjun was having a meeting for the release of "1942" at the end of the month.
The production cost of this movie was 200 million, making it Huayi's most expensive movie in more than ten years. The production period was two years, and there was no room for Wang Zhongjun to deal with it carelessly.
The year before last, "If You Are the One 2" didn't meet expectations, and I don't know what will happen this year.
However, Wang Zhongjun doesn't worry too much about the box office, after all, even a bad movie like "Kuai Ben: Happy Home" can be a big hit.
"Tangshan Earthquake" can make audiences across the country cry. Wang Zhongjun believes that "1942" can do the same with the same routine.
Moreover, since Tang An was not participating in the Lunar New Year movie this year, it was not enough for Li to find actors from Indo for the film.
As for "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern: The Mysterious Cave of Longling", there are "1942" and "Twelve Zodiac Signs" in front and back, so this year's Lunar New Year movie is going to be great no matter what!
