By the time May was over, the box office of "The Opium War" had not surprisingly exceeded 300 million.
Not only did it create the highest box office record for a Chinese movie, but it also set records for the fastest box office sales of over 100 million, 200 million and 300 million.
Many filmmakers have lamented that these records may be difficult to surpass in the future.
This is really sad for colleagues.
Movies are part of the entertainment industry, which pays the most attention to publicity and public opinion. And breaking records is undoubtedly the best gimmick.
Now that "The Opium War" has set such a high standard when it first came out, it will really be difficult for people to have the motivation to fight in the future.
Xiao Qian didn't know what his colleagues thought, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
People who think this way will not achieve much.
A truly strong person is never afraid of any hardships and has the courage to create his own miracles.
Domestic movies with a box office of 300 million have almost exhausted the consumption potential of the people.
The economic level of this era is like this, so you can't expect the box office of a movie to exceed 400 million, 500 million, or 600 million.
In the absence of rapid development of the national economy, there is a limit to the box office of movies.
Even so, the box office of 300 million allowed everyone to see the scale of the Chinese film market.
In the past, people complained that it was not easy to make movies, the public did not have the appreciation, cinemas were not popular enough and other reasons to explain why Chinese movies lost money.
But now it seems that these reasons are ridiculous and unfounded.
The explosive box office and reputation of "The Opium War" are enough to prove that good movies are the foundation of good box office.
In the past, when Starlight Video was rising, others were unconvinced.
In the eyes of many people, Xiao Qian relies on his family connections to influence everything. Without those connections, he is nothing.
But now there is no market for this statement.
There are so many people with strong backgrounds in the film and television industry, why doesn't anyone else produce a movie with a box office of 300 million?
Now every filmmaker has begun to take Xiao Qian seriously and admire his talent.
In early June, the magic city is as hot as fire, but the drizzle is like silk in the air. The sticky plum rain is like the sobs of a resentful woman, annoying and annoying, but it lingers.
Only in a slightly higher place like Sheshan can you feel the slightest bit of coolness, enough to make you sit down.
However, Sheshan Mountain in the rain is really unsightly, like a tomb, making it difficult for people to enjoy the scenery.
Xiao Qian didn't have time to look at the scenery, he was the focus of today.
"Xiao Qian, you are such a kid. It's not easy to treat you once."
Liu Jiang walked from far to near, followed by a middle-aged man.
"Here, let me introduce you. This is Kong Dongsheng, the CEO of Jiade Company. He is the same person as us. I have long wanted to meet this young talent like you."
Xiao Qian's eyebrows lit up, he hid it immediately and called Uncle Kong.
According to seniority, he should be called like this, and the other party is indeed a boss.
Mr. Kong has a cheerful personality and makes people feel close to him.
"Isn't your kid a member of the China Association? Why don't you go and have more fun?"
Xiao Qian could only say: "I'm really too busy with work, and I have to take care of study at the same time. I don't have enough time to divide myself."
He said so, but Kong and Liu couldn't be more serious about it.
Although Xiao Qian is their nephew, he is now his own group and cannot be underestimated.
Boss Kong had no choice but to say: "The China Club is for eating, drinking and having fun. If you don't want to go, forget it. But you can come to the Jiade Autumn Film Festival. Many friends want to get to know you."
Xiao Qian couldn't refuse.
"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely go when the time comes."
Seeing that he agreed, Mr. Kong was very happy.
Guardian was established in 1993 and is mainly engaged in the auction of cultural relics and works of art. However, due to the domestic environment, it can only operate within a certain range at present.
Xiao Qian is now very famous in the eyes of ordinary people, regardless of his fame or status. If he can attend the Jiade Autumn Auction, it will be very beneficial to the publicity of this event.
"You are very impressive now. Many friends in the capital are eager to meet you. How about giving uncle a face and meeting them?"
Having said so, can Xiao Qian refuse?
Besides, why refuse?
As Kong and Liu walked into the luxurious villa, Liu Jiang was still bragging.
"The best real estate in Shanghai in the future is Sheshan. I would like to advise you that the opportunity is rare now, so do it when it's time. In the future, you won't be able to even take a look at it if you don't have 100 million."
Mr. Kong’s eyes swayed, obviously being persuaded.
"Do you have any news?"
Liu Jiang was as proud as a fan of Shunli's Amway idol.
"Last year, the municipal government made a plan and approved the establishment of a national tourist resort in Sheshan. Moreover, this is the only place in Shanghai that is close to natural scenery. It will definitely attract more urbanites to come for fun and vacation in the future. By then, this place will really be
It’s hard to find a room.”
Boss Kong is in.
"Then please help me keep an eye on it."
I don't know if there is any benefit for Liu Jiang to do this, so he approached Xiao Qian again.
"Xiao Qian, what do you think, you buy one too? It would be nice for us to be neighbors next to each other."
"Haha, I'll forget it, my family won't let me spend money randomly."
Xiao Qian found a reason and clearly refused.
If my friend were not a reborn person and knew how pitfalls Sheshan’s real estate would be in the future, he might have been deceived by you.
Liu Jiang was very dissatisfied.
"You said you are so young and have a child, why are you so stingy? You don't want to buy a good car or a good house. You also have a wife, so why are you saving money?"
Mr. Kong feels the same way.
"This child is really different from his peers. The boys in the compound are all extremely flamboyant and will get into trouble sooner or later. Only people like Xiao Qian can have a good future."
Xiao Qian didn't answer, and couldn't even be modest. Otherwise, if the words spread, it would offend others.
The three of them came to the living room on the first floor. There were quite a few people here, all watching eagerly.
Boss Kong asked for credit in person.
"Everyone, I've invited someone for you. As for how you say it, it's up to you. Don't blame me for saying ugly things up front. No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, if anyone dares to get in trouble with my nephew, then don't blame me for being rude.
.”
A group of people nodded and bowed.
"Mr. Kong, don't worry, we all know what happened."
"Mr. Kong is still a magnanimous person, and we all feel very deeply about him."
Xiao Qian took a quick look and thought, oh, I know everything.
These days, everyone who is known to him in the circle is definitely a figure.
But at this time, the way these people looked at him was like looking at a character.
Big shot.
Boss Kong and Liu Jiang brought Xiao Qian over, made some remarks and then left.
They don't understand things in the entertainment and cultural circles, and they have no interest in it, so they won't get involved.
How the negotiation goes is up to Xiao Qian and these people.
Xiao Qian was not polite and walked to the only chair in the field and sat down. The others naturally lined up on both sides, just like the civil and military classes.
Now in this circle, no one dares to sit on top of him.
A big shot with a box office of 300 million is at the level of a god.
"Manager Wang, what brought you to this magical city? I heard that you have achieved great success in the capital. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
The person Xiao Qian was looking at was Wang Weizhong, general manager of Huayi Entertainment.
This person is also a second generation, but he is from the army compound and is not so close to Xiao Qian, Boss Kong and others.
This guy and his brother relied on their connections to start out in an advertising agency, gradually becoming bigger and stronger, and now they are involved in the film industry.
After hearing his words, Wang Weizhong smiled bitterly.
"Now in front of Mr. Xiao, who dares to say that he has a great career? We all have to look up to the stars."
Xiao Qian disagrees.
"Oh, what are you talking about? You are running a company, and I am also running a company. Although we are in the same line of work, we are not in conflict with each other. If there is anything wrong with Xingguang, may I first apologize to you all?"
"Oh my god, what did Mr. Xiao say? Who in the circle today doesn't know Xingguang's benevolence and righteousness, and never forgets to work with him when good things happen. Everyone remembers Xingguang's kindness."
The chubby guy wearing glasses is Xiang Keyuan, the general manager of Jinyi Entertainment. However, Jinyi does not make movies, but is an actor agent.
Xiang Keyuan can be regarded as one of the earliest professional artist managers in China. Relying on his excellent business ability and his relationship with Beijing Film Academy, he has recruited a large number of actors.
"That is, this time the China-Korea film interoperability agreement would have been impossible to reach without Mr. Xiao's intervention. In the future, our films will also be able to be exported overseas, all thanks to Mr. Xiao's kindness."
The person who said this was the great director Ma Sichong.
The family dramas shot by this person are one of a kind, and the TV series at that time caused a sensation among the crowd. Later, he switched to movies, and he also continued to make good films.
However, he has been relatively quiet in recent years. Some people say that he is honing his internal skills, while others say that he cannot keep up with the times and is ready to retire.
Seeing him appear here today is in no way compatible with his retreat.
"You have invited Uncle Kong to come forward with full sincerity. I believe you must have something urgent to discuss with me. Xiao is young and has little knowledge. Fortunately, he has made some achievements, but he is really not proud of himself. Is there anything you need advice on?
Let’s get straight to the point. As far as I know, the local cuisine here is excellent. Let’s finish it early, I’ll be the host and we’ll share the feast, okay?”
Xiao Qian was not here to listen to compliments from these people, so he went straight to the point and decided to get the matter done first.
