Chapter 789 New movie 100 million investment (4200+ chapters~)
As the movie ended, the lights in the screening room came on.
The expected thunderous applause did not appear, and the audience did not leave the seats, but just sat there, slowly reflecting on the plot of the movie.
It took almost a minute for everyone to react and applause broke out.
As the director of the movie, Wu Jianye smiled and walked onto the stage below the screen with a microphone, and said with a smile: "I have said everything that needs to be said before. I know everyone is waiting to go out to draw a lottery!"
At this point, the ordinary audience members in the hall showed happy smiles. Just as Wu Jianye said, many audience members came here for the prizes.
Wu Jianye said: "Finally, I am very proud of the audience who came to watch the movie alone, but I am also a little bit sad for you inexplicably!"
Just like a joke between friends, everyone laughed again.
The general audience in the main hall slowly came out, ready to take the ticket stubs in their hands for the lottery, while the only ones left behind were the actors and directors who came to attend the premiere.
Looking at these friends who came to cheer, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Don't leave, everyone. The car is ready and the hotel has reserved a seat. Let's go over and have a casual meal together before going back!"
"It's necessary!" Cheng Long shouted loudly.
Everyone laughed.
A group of people walked out of the main hall in a mighty manner and saw that the theater hall was full of people, many of whom were waiting for the results of the lottery.
There were also two notaries in uniform watching the scene.
In the middle of the hall of Fengge Cinema, there are four lottery pools of different sizes, with ping pong balls with numbers written on them spinning.
When the first ping pong ball came out, the staff of Fengge Cinema shouted loudly: "Hall 8!"
At this time, the audience in Hall 8 cheered, accompanied by huge sighs of disappointment. They were obviously the audience in other halls.
The second ping pong ball appeared. The staff of Fengge Cinema took out the ping pong ball and shouted: "Row 4!"
The sound of disappointment became stronger and stronger, followed by a dozen separate cheers.
The third ping pong ball appeared, "Couple tickets No. 3 and 4!"
"Wow!" At this time, you can see a couple screaming excitedly and hugging each other!
The fourth ping pong ball in the lottery pool appeared, and everyone was staring closely at this ping pong ball, because it meant what kind of awards the couple would win.
"The fourth prize is a 21-inch Taiwei color TV. Congratulations to the couple!" The staff member raised the table tennis ball in his hand high.
The voices of disappointment and surprise coexisted. The couple, with the same expression on their faces, took their ticket stubs and came to the staff. Next to the staff, there were various prizes.
The staff moved the cardboard box containing the Taiwei color TV and placed it in front of the couple.
"Congratulations to you two, you won the fourth prize of our Fengge Cinema. This is your prize. Now please let us check the ticket stubs in your hands. If there are no accidents, this TV belongs to you!"
"
"Thank you, thank you!" Although the couple did not win the grand prize, a 21-inch color TV was already a very good prize. The two of them quickly adjusted their moods and looked very excited.
After checking the ticket stubs, the staff of Fengge Cinema said with a smile: "There is no problem with the ticket stubs. Congratulations again, the TV is yours!"
"Thank you, thank you." The boy looked very excited.
The two happily hugged the TV and left where they were, but they did not leave. They also wanted to see what kind of prize the next lucky viewer would get.
"According to our lottery tips, there are a total of 4 Fengge Cinemas in Yanjing. Originally, only two lucky viewers were drawn from each theater every day. However, because ours is the flagship theater of Fengge Cinema, the audience has to compare.
There are many people in the other three theaters, so we will draw three lucky viewers here."
"Now draw the second lucky audience member!"
Bang bang bang!
The audience burst into warm applause. One more spot means one more chance, and they were naturally happy!
The second lucky viewer was born during the lucky draw.
"Hall 6!"
"3 rows!"
"Couple No. 7 and 8!"
"Third prize, seven-day tour of Hong Kong, congratulations to both of you!"
Zhang Ke and Wu Meiwei looked at each other blankly. They never thought that they would win the lottery. They had just established a relationship, and they were so lucky to be chosen?
Or a seven-day tour of Hong Kong?
For two people?
Zhang Ke felt a little dry when he thought of this...
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and get the award!" At this time, Ren Xiaonian couldn't help but remind him.
Zhang Ke and Wu Meiwei walked to the place where they received the award and handed the ticket stubs in their hands to the staff on site.
"There is nothing wrong with the ticket stubs. This trip is valid for three months. You two can come to our Fengge Cinema at any time with your identity certificates to redeem your prizes!" There are professional staff who register their identity certificates and the registration is completed.
Finally, he smiled and said to them.
Zhang Ke and Wu Meiwei returned to their positions blankly.
Ren Xiaonian and Liao Jiamin looked at them with envy. Ren Xiaonian and Liao Jiamin were going to get married next year. In fact, they also wanted this award, but now they let their good friends win this award. They were happy for them.
, and a hint of envy.
"Ke Zi, you are celebrating a double happiness today, so we must treat you!" Ren Xiaonian quickly adjusted his mood and joked with a smile.
The same goes for Liao Jiamin!
After the second award is over, it will be the third award.
It's just that the third prize is a family ticket, and the winner is the fifth prize, which is very exciting!
Since then, today's three lucky winners have all been selected.
Many viewers who did not win the prize became more determined to come and watch the movie lottery tomorrow when they saw someone actually winning the prize.
Wu Jianye and others had already arrived at the hotel at this time.
There were at least hundreds of actors and directors who came to attend the premiere this time, and Wu Jianye naturally wanted to thank them all.
"Aaron, thank you this time for coming all the way!"
After thanking everyone, Wu Jianye came to Cheng Long and said with a smile.
This time Cheng Long specially flew to Yanjing to support the premiere of "The World of Chu Xing", which really moved Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, what you said is a bit exaggerated. If it weren't for you, I still wouldn't be able to make a name for myself in Hollywood!" Cheng Long also said with a smile.
Zhang Guoyi said with a smile: "Okay, you two don't want to thank each other anymore. We are all friends and it would be a bit foreign to say such things!"
"That's right, come on, let's all drink this cup together!" Wu Jianye also laughed and said.
Among the actors and directors at the scene, only Cheng Long, Zhou Xingchi, and Zhang Guoyi were from Xiangjiang, so they naturally sat together.
Also sitting there were Ge You, Zhang Fengyi, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and others.
Zhang Guoyi smiled and said to Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, who do you think is bigger, me or Yuzi?"
Ge You sat there with a wry smile.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "It seems that Yuko must be older than you, but in reality, I think you should be older than Yuko!"
Zhang Guoyi chuckled and said, "That's right, I'm one year older than Yuko!"
Wu Jianye looked at Yuzi and said with a smile: "I can't help it, who makes Yuzi look a little anxious!"
Everyone laughed when they heard Wu Jianye teasing Ge You about his appearance.
After meeting the friends at this table and chatting for a while, Wu Jianye came to the side of Chen Huai'ai and other older generation directors and actors. Here were not only Chen Huai'ai, but also Chen Wei, Huang Xiaoli, Zhang Mingzi and others.
These people are all old friends and are very familiar with each other. They sit together and chat. However, compared with the bustle of young people, it is still relatively quiet here.
"Xiao Wu, this movie of yours is very good. It is a movie that people can watch several times!" Chen Huai'ai said first.
"Mr. Chen, please praise me!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"This is really not true. Just now, some of us old guys said that your skills are getting better and better, and you are reaching a certain level. Work hard in the future, and China's movies will depend on your generation!
"
Wu Jianye accepted their compliments with a smile. When Wu Jianye was chatting with Chen Hao, he said: "Father, there is a role in my new movie next year that suits you very well. Are you interested in coming over to help me?"
!”
Even though more than ten years have passed since the filming of "The Peacock Princess", the titles between Wu Jianye and Chen Hao are still that of father and son.
Chen Wei showed a hint of interest and said with a smile: "Nacheng, when are you going to start shooting your new movie?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It is estimated that it will be the end of next year, or even the beginning of the next year!"
Several old people showed a look of surprise: "Does it take such a long time to prepare?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "This is a movie that is different from any other type in China now, and it involves a lot of action scenes, so the main actors need to receive training in action scenes!"
Chen Huai'ai asked curiously: "Is it the same genre as "New Longmen Inn"?"
When they heard it was an action scene, the first thing they thought of was "New Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Wu Jianye before.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "This is a fairy tale drama, which also involves a lot of special effects shots, so not only do we have to wait until the protagonists are familiar with action scenes, but we also have to wait for the special effects team of Tangting Culture to return from studying in Hollywood.
, then we can officially start filming!”
After hearing what Wu Jianye said, everyone became even more curious.
They naturally know about fairy tale dramas. Although the current special effects have not reached the level of later generations, it does not mean that there are no fairy tale dramas in China now, such as the previous TV series "Journey to the West", "The Romance of the Gods", "Ji Gong", etc.
They all belong to the category of fairy tale dramas.
But when it comes to special effects, that's about it.
Now I heard Wu Jianye say that he had to wait until the special effects team of Tangting Culture came back from Hollywood before he could shoot. Obviously, there must be a lot of special effects involved. At the same time, it is different from the fairy tale dramas currently being presented in China.
The special effects are different.
"Surely the investment for a movie like this will not be small, right?" Chen Huai'ai asked seriously.
Wu Jianye nodded and said calmly: "Preliminary calculation, at least around 100 million!"
Wu Jianye was able to calmly talk about the investment of 100 million, but these old people could not be calm anymore. In fact, many people were paying attention to Wu Jianye, and they all heard the investment Wu Jianye said.
100 million investment!
After this number came out, everyone was shocked!
What was the total domestic box office last year? It was just over one billion. Now Wu Jianye's investment in a movie has reached 100 million. The most important thing is that the average investment in a domestic movie now is only 1.3 million.
This suddenly increased the investment a hundred times, how could everyone not be surprised!
After a while, everyone came to their senses. Chen Huai'ai said in shock: "100 million, you really dare to spend money. Aren't you worried that this investment will be in vain?"
"Yes, Xiao Wu, this is 100 million. Where are you going to get so much money?" Chen Hao also said with some worry.
Although Chen Hao knows that Wu Jianye is rich, in Chen Hao's opinion, having tens of millions is considered top-notch, and now Wu Jianye actually mentioned an investment of 100 million!
No matter how you think about it, this is an impossible thing!
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Father, an investment of 100 million is actually not much. You have forgotten that I have made several movies with an investment of over 100 million before!"
When Wu Jianye said this, everyone thought of Wu Jianye's resume!
The second movie "The Last Emperor" directed by Wu Jianye has already exceeded US$30 million, which is over 100 million yuan when converted into RMB, not to mention the two movies he directed in Hollywood!
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt that an investment of 100 million was not so exaggerated for Wu Jianye.
But even so, everyone present looked at Wu Jianye with envy, this is 100 million!
How much is a person's monthly salary now?
Fifth-generation directors such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou also heard it. The two of them also looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They thought that they were slowly catching up with Wu Jianye, but now they have just
I can truly understand that no matter what the effect of the movie is, at least they can't catch up with Wu Jianye in terms of movie investment.
With the news of this big news, many people have shifted today's topic from "The World of Chu Xing" to Wu Jianye's new movie.
Many people want to ask Wu Jianye about the content of his new movie, but Wu Jianye hasn't even officially finished writing the script yet.
Jiang Kui, Huang Xiaochu and others also came over, but they were all small transparent beings, so even when they walked on the red carpet, not many people paid attention to them.
However, Wu Jianye did not abandon them because of this. He also walked up to them and expressed his gratitude to them.
These young people quickly stood up and toasted Wu Jianye.
After toasting, Wu Jianye said to Jiang Kui: "Jiang Kui, during this period you should train your body properly. There is a supporting role in the movie that is very suitable for you. You can't let me off the hook then!"
Jiang Kui looked at Wu Jianye in surprise: "Director Wu, can I also participate in your new movie?"
"Haha, if you don't want to, I can replace you with someone else!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
