Chapter 945 The polarized 'Eternal Night' (4000+ chapters~)
When Wu Jianye returned to China, the movie "Eternal Night" had already been released in China for a week!
The evaluation of this film in China has also entered a polarized situation, with praise from the audience and criticism from professional media!
After watching the movie, the audience loved this movie to the core. They liked the mythical beasts that they had never seen in it but were created by this movie, and they also liked the gorgeous fights.
Some viewers even said that they saw the fairy energy inside, which is unique to Chinese mythology.
The professional media were not so appreciative. They believed that the film had lost the spirituality Wu Jianye once had. Although the story content was acceptable, it was far from reaching the realm represented by the name Wu Jianye.
But it is undeniable that the box office of this movie is still a hit, so big that no one can ignore it.
In just one week, the box office of this movie has reached more than 63 million!
After such box office results were announced by Tangting Culture, it immediately became the biggest news in the country. No one expected that a movie could achieve such a high box office, which has already surpassed last year's "The World of Chu Xing".
Of course, there are some other reasons for this. First of all, the box office is full for a week, and "The World of Chu Xing" was only released for four days in its first week. At the same time, there is an increase in the number of domestic theaters!
But no matter what, this movie was able to get a box office of 63 million in the first week, which has exceeded many people's predictions, especially those of professional filmmakers. They don't understand why it doesn't look that good.
The movie will achieve such a high box office at the box office.
Later, "Popular Cinema" published a review of "Eternal Night", which pointed out that although this movie is still somewhat lacking in story content, the special effects and pictures fully let the moviegoers feel the fairy tale movie.
of wonder!
This factor accounts for the vast majority of the box office!
Tangting Culture also announced the box office results of this movie in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
Within one week of its release, the movie "Eternal Night" had a box office of HK$26 million in Hong Kong and US$18 million in Asia!
Equivalent to RMB, the movie "Eternal Night" has a box office of about 230 million throughout Asia!
When this box office came out, it really shocked a lot of people.
At the same time, what Wu Jianye expected happened. When the movie received such high box office throughout Asia, domestic studios and film companies were also inquiring about the price of Tang Ting's special effects.
Although there are no companies that have entered into formal negotiations, this trend is already very good. According to the news received by Wu Jianye, a film company is already planning to shoot its own Xianxia movie!
"By the way, the boss of a Yanjing company called Beixue Film Company has always wanted to meet you!"
Li Na wore a one-piece slim-fitting short skirt suit, and her hair was permed into a big wave. This kind of dress is still rare in China. On the contrary, this kind of dress is mostly seen in companies in Xiangjiang, Europe and the United States.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and asked: "Which Beixue Film Company?"
Li Na explained: "It's the film company that launched "Swordsman" before and will premiere "The World Without Swords" tonight. Miss He Qing also sent you a special invitation letter, but at that time you
He hasn’t come back yet, so he hasn’t responded to him yet.”
Wu Jianye had an impression in his mind and said, "I know about this matter. I'll contact He Qing first before talking about it!"
"Also, Mr. Huang, Mr. Xia, and Mr. Li all want to report their work to you." Li Na held a notebook in her hand, which contained dense notes about the people Wu Jianye needed to see and the upcoming itinerary.
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Please refuse all of these. I have my own affairs these days. As for the company's affairs, just let them watch and handle them!"
In fact, the current work of Tangting Culture no longer requires Wu Jianye to ask too many questions. Huang Jianxin, Xia Xiaohong, and Li Xiaowan can solve many things, and he has also confirmed Xia Xiaohong's position as the leader among the three.
Li Na nodded helplessly. As Wu Jianye's secretary, she found that her boss was becoming more and more hands-off. She used to ask about the company's situation from time to time, but now it seems that the proportion of delegating power is getting higher and higher.
It's getting heavier.
After Li Na left the office, Zhao Fei also came to Wu Jianye's office.
"You are finally back. I have been exhausted during this period!" Zhao Fei slumped down on the sofa in Wu Jianye's office and began to complain of fatigue.
Wu Jianye laughed and complimented: "The capable ones should work harder!"
Zhao Fei said: "I'm pretty good. In one week, do you know how many cities Yu Feihong and the others traveled to?"
"How many?"
"At least 10, almost two cities a day on average. Such a density of publicity has never been seen in China!" Zhao Fei said.
Wu Jianye not only taught domestic film companies in publicity, but also in tours.
In the past, although Wu Jianye's movies were promoted in other cities, they were basically fixed in those big cities. Now, not only big cities, in the publicity plan of Tangting Culture, even the second and third tier
The city has not spared it.
Such a large-scale tour, in another time and space, would still have to wait until Feng Pants' "Party A and Party B" is released, but now it has been brought forward by Wu Jianye again.
Therefore, at that time, "Party A and Party B" was able to achieve huge box office success, not just relying on the film's reputation, but also on intensive film promotion.
"By the way, are you going to go to the promotion in Xiangjiang?" Zhao Fei asked.
Although the box office contribution of Xiangjiang is higher than that of many domestic countries and not as good as other countries in Asia, the geographical location of Xiangjiang is so important that it is still the bridgehead for domestic films to go abroad!
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "I'll forget it. Since the previous publicity has not kept up, the rest will be like this. Moreover, there are Fengge Pictures and Principal Gu in Xiangjiang, so there shouldn't be much
I’m asking you a question!”
"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say!" Zhao Fei didn't say much. Although he didn't ask Wu Jianye how things were going in North America, as an old friend of more than ten years, he could still tell.
Wu saw the fatigue in Ye Ye's eyes.
"By the way, if you have nothing to do here, I will go and rest. I have to give myself a good vacation!"
"You don't have time to rest. The shooting of the new movie should be put on the schedule!" Wu Jianye shattered Zhao Fei's illusion of happiness.
Zhao Fei was slightly startled and said: "Why are you so anxious this time? I thought you had to wait until June to prepare for this movie!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "The domestic film market has begun to rise, but it still needs another depth bomb."
Although domestic film colleagues have begun to pay attention to the special effects and graphics of movies, only continued success can give them more hope.
Perhaps at this time, the domestic film market still cannot reach the heights of the European and American markets, but it has surpassed the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets.
This is already a very successful thing. I believe that as long as excellent and profitable works continue to appear, more funds will be stimulated to enter the film market, and at that time, Chinese films will develop even more rapidly.
Zhao Fei patted his sofa and said, "Okay, since you are ready, let's continue working!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled!
"By the way, apart from Chen Daoxuan and Zhu Xian, who are you planning to find in the cast?" Zhao Fei continued to ask.
"There are already a few candidates, but we still have to keep looking." Wu Jianye already has a rough idea of the cast, but he still needs to find a few actors. At the same time, he has another thing to do.
.
That night, Wu Jianye came to Fengge Cinema's theater in Wangfujing, where a poster for another movie "A World Without a Knife" had been hung next to the poster for "Eternal Night"!
After Zhao Fei left, Wu Jianye called He Qing, and He Qing invited Wu Jianye again to attend the premiere of the movie. Wu Jianye thought about it for a while but did not refuse.
This is actually a signal sent by Wu Jianye, that is, as long as your movie is good enough, Wu Jianye doesn't mind supporting his friends.
Wang Tao has already proven himself with the movie "The Legend of the Sword" before, and now he has made the same type of movie "The World Without Knives", starring He Qing.
Wu Jianye was still willing to see what kind of films this director outside of his acquaintance would make.
When Wu Jianye, who had disappeared for nearly a week, appeared in public, the sensation caused can be imagined.
In fact, as mentioned before, although the higher-ups helped Wu Jianye suppress the news in North America, the gossip still spread to some extent.
But at this time, it is not like later generations. In the Internet era, although there are some restrictions, it is not very difficult to know news from abroad. Coupled with the rise of various social networking sites, it is impossible to cover all the big international news.
covered up.
So although there are some gossips at this time, these news cannot cause much sensation. First of all, the authenticity of the news cannot be verified. People nowadays still trust the media very much. If the media does not report it, then let this news exist.
A certain degree of suspicion.
Then there is the matter of Phantom. Although it is a big news, in the international community where countless news is produced every day, and at the same time Wu Jianye has been confirmed that he is not the holder of Wuzang Investment, it is already doomed.
This news is no longer so sensational in the country!
Regarding the relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom, it was not until the new century when the Internet became more and more developed that some people revealed it again. The sensation caused at that time was no less than a carnival on the domestic Internet.
, and also revealed many other things about Wu Jianye.
But that's all for the future.
Now Wu Jianye's appearance at the premiere of the movie "A World Without a Knife" is the biggest news. Wu Jianye, who did not even attend the premiere of his own movie, is now able to participate in the premiere of "A World Without a Knife".
The premiere of the movie has already made many people have a strong interest in the movie.
"Director Wu, now that the movie "Eternal Night" is being released nationwide, but you are here to participate in your competitor's movie, aren't you worried that this movie will take away the box office of "Eternal Night"?"
A reporter asked directly.
Wu Jianye replied with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about. The domestic film market is now very large, and theater chains and theaters are expanding rapidly. At this point in time, it is enough to accommodate more excellent films. In fact, "The World"
The release of "No Knife" has not affected the film schedule of "Eternal Night"!"
After answering this question, Wu Jianye left with a smile, and reporters who wanted to ask where Wu Jianye had been during this time and what he was dealing with had no way to continue asking.
At the entrance of the theater, Wu Jianye met many of the creators of the movie "A World Without Knives."
"Director Wu!"
Everyone took the initiative to greet Wu Jianye.
He Qing smiled and introduced Wu Jianye: "Brother, this is the male lead of "A World Without a Knife". You don't need me to introduce you?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "No need, we are all old acquaintances!"
The male lead in "A World Without Knives" is none other than Hu Jun from the 87th Class of China National Drama Theater. Although the two have never worked together before, they have appeared together a few times, so they are naturally familiar with each other.
"Director Wu!" Hu Jun also greeted Wu Jianye with a smile. When Wu Jianye was selecting actors in the drama troupe, he picked He Zhi, which made Hu Jun and other younger generation actors very envious.
But now that Hu Jun has also participated in the film of Wang Tao, a new director who is rising in the domestic film industry, Hu Jun is finally relieved.
He Qing then introduced the film's director Wang Tao and the boss of Beixue Film Company Li Xiangbei to Wu Jianye!
Wang Tao's character was a bit shy. Although his eyes were shining, he simply said hello to Wu Jianye and didn't know what to say. Instead, Li Xiangbei chatted happily with Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, I have always wanted to meet you. You are a senior in our film industry, and I have always wanted to learn from you!" Li Xiangbei set his attitude very low.
Although in general perception, Li Xiangbei belongs to the local tycoon, Wu Jianye is the director, and the local tycoon is more powerful than the director, but Wu Jianye is not only a director but also the boss of Tangting Culture. Wu Jianye's "Yongye"
》’s investment has exceeded Li Xiangbei’s personal net worth several times.
Li Xiangbei lowered his posture in front of Wu Jianye, and he didn't feel anything was wrong!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. Since we are colleagues, we are friends. We should work together to make this project bigger. China's film market still has great potential to be tapped!"
Li Xiangbei nodded repeatedly and said, "I think so too. Director Wu, after your movie is over today, we will have a celebration banquet. You have to attend whatever you want!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "That would be disrespectful!"
