The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 81 I Have a Double Cannon

Life is like this, I always like to stumble you suddenly.

It is of course a good thing to be able to join the Film Classification Committee. This is not only a manifestation of the industry's influence, but also a good opportunity to expand the industry's influence.

But because of this, there is nothing to say about losing the election.

It's just because Dunhuang is weak.

Regardless of whether there were any calculations behind it, or how many people sympathized with it, it was because Dunhuang was weak, not powerful.

Just imagine, if Dunhuang grows to be comparable to the top five, the classification committee will carry Dunhuang into it even if it is promoted, otherwise how can it convince the public?
So in the final analysis, Wang Wei has only one sentence - let yourself become stronger.

If film companies want to become stronger, there seems to be no other way but to make more and better movies.

"Genius Gunner", as Dunhuang's first hit this year, couldn't have performed more perfectly.

But Wang Wei did not forget that Dunhuang still has a "double-cannon" this year.

"Genius Gunner" no longer needs Wang Wei to spend much effort, and he has more energy to devote to the crew of "My Sassy Girl" and "Charlotte Annoyance".

Then, Wang Wei discovered that the attitudes of the directors of the two crews towards him had undergone subtle changes.

——I couldn't say that I didn't respect him before, but that was more respect for the donor; this time, they showed more respect for the industry bosses.

"My Sassy Girl" crew.

Director Zhuang Geng has a toothache: Nonsense, isn't this a matter of course?

At that time, "Genius Gunner" hadn't been released yet, and Wang Wei was just a rookie director who performed well in his debut.

Now, "Genius Gunner" has been on a rampage for most of the summer, winning both word of mouth and box office.

Wang Wei not only greatly enriched the content that can be expressed in youth themes by borrowing the formulas of suspense films and action films, but also actually changed some things in reality.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the aura shrouded in Wang Wei is far from what a "new director" can represent!
It seems that suddenly, Wang Wei's position in Zhuang Geng's heart has become very different.

This is not only his own boss, but also a future industry leader with unlimited potential!

Therefore, when Wang Wei mentioned that "My Sassy Girlfriend" will take over from "Genius Gunner" and start Dunhuang's second shot in the second half of the year, Zhuang Geng, as the director, was first taken aback.

"The domestic box office of "Genius Gunner" has surpassed that of "Peking Holiday", right?" Zhuang Geng said nastily.

Wang Wei thought about the latest data he had received, and shook his head: "We haven't had any by the end of the fourth week, but this week should have exceeded it."

Entering the fourth week, it is inevitable that the scale of releases will decline and the box office will decline, and "Genius Gunner" is no exception.

However, the decline in "Genius Gunner" is surprisingly small.

Whether it is the discussion around education reform, or the results of the "Parents Doing It For You" youth innovation competition and the "find someone to take the exam" middle school student competition have come out one after another, all of which have helped "Genius Gunner" maintain a high level of popularity.

Therefore, after the theaters cut the number of screens released by nearly 17%, the box office of "Genius Gunner" rose instead of falling, which was even brighter than many new films just released.

This allowed "Genius Gunner" to continue to cut a blinding box office score of 9000 million+ in the fourth week, accumulating the total domestic box office to nearly 4.5 million.

At this time, including the theaters and other industry peers, they all understood that "Genius Gunner" is a long-term blockbuster film with an unusually stable trend and an unusually healthy decline.

——Since it is more popular than many newly released films, there is no reason for the theaters to release it early, otherwise the release cycle will be extended to the entire summer.

At this point, even if the sky falls, it may not be able to prevent its total domestic box office from breaking through 6 million yuan.

This also means that Wang Wei will become the youngest member of the domestic 10 billion box office club!
"It's only two movies!" Zhuang Geng's thin face was full of envy.

These days, the director's personal box office breaks through one billion, which is a threshold.

After crossing this threshold, no matter who is asked to evaluate and position him, he must not be an ordinary director. Even if he is not a great director, he is at least a very successful director!

Moreover, although there are rumors in the industry that movie ticket prices will increase, it is foreseeable that directors who cross this threshold will become more and more common in the future, but Wang Wei has a record that no one can possibly break——

When he crossed this threshold, he was only 21 years old!
Seeing that Zhuang Geng was about to run to the third, his face was trembling: "It's true that people are better than people and dead people!"

He suddenly asked Wang Wei: "What is your box office expectation for my film?"

Wang Wei asked instead: "What about you? What is your box office expectation?"

Zhuang Geng calculated for a moment, and said: ""My Sassy Girlfriend" is also a romantic comedy, and comedies naturally have bonus points, especially comedies that can really make people laugh, with a lot of bonus points."

"Looking at the shots I took, laughing can definitely make people laugh. So... I thought to myself, see if it can exceed [-] million or something?"

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Are you so unconfident about the box office of this movie? You can't make it past [-] million?"

Zhuang Geng frowned and sighed: "I'm a new director, and the leading actors are basically newcomers. If it wasn't for your script, I might only dare to expect [-] million. This is still on the premise that the publicity is better."

"The debut of a new director can exceed [-] million, which already makes me laugh out loud. Who dares to take your stick?"

This principle is naturally correct, but Wang Wei is noncommittal.

Although the original version of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not a domestic film, Wang Wei feels that it is more in line with the taste of the domestic market than "Peking Holiday".

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for Shen Zhenyi's charisma bonus and the extravagant tricks of the wealthy Dagua, Wang Wei felt that "My Sassy Girl" could beat "Peking Holiday" at the box office.

Of course, it's hard to say now.

But after seeing Zhuang Geng's shots, Wang Wei knew what to say, and he dared to imagine breaking through [-] million.

Wang Wei raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I have confidence in my script! We all know your ability! So, Director Zhuang Da, do what you want to do next, and run to the end It’s good to deal with it.”

"Didn't many people say that Dunhuang was supported solely by me? That's just right, you use this "My Sassy Girl" to slap these people in the face and prove that I am not the only director who can carry the box office in Dunhuang!"

Zhuang Geng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and when he came back to understand the meaning of Wang Wei's words, he couldn't help but his heart beat violently.

According to this meaning, is it possible that my debut novel can... exceed [-] million, or even [-] million?
Isn't this a dream come true?
……

Kim Jae-ku, the director of "Charlotte Annoyance", also felt that he was dreaming.

After watching the shots he had taken, Wang Wei said that he would pour cold water on him, which immediately made his heart sink.

Then I heard—"[-] million is considered a pass, [-] million is not bad, and if it can exceed [-] million, it is already very successful..."

Jin Zaiku's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.

He looked at Wang Wei resentfully, and shouted in his heart: Not everyone can be as awesome as you, okay?
The combined box office of all my previous films did not reach [-] million. In your eyes, I am such a waste!

But when he realized it, he was trembling with excitement—if a movie can exceed [-] million, God, I can pose in any pose you want me to!
