May 7th, Eagle Country.

Within the China Film and Television Company, Wei Xizhen sat in the office and chose to purchase the script from the Screenwriters Guild.

Sitting opposite her was a younger generation of directors who came from China.

Some of these people are recent graduates, while others are engaged in related industries.

But one thing they have in common is that these people are relatively young.

Senior executives believe that young people need to learn new things.

For people like Wang Shuo and Gu Qingfeng, their styles have been solidified.

Before this, countless Chinese directors came to Eagle Country, but in the end they all failed.

Therefore, China Film and Television did not force the age of the director this time, and even let the young Wei Xizhen be the president.

Wei Xizhen is not even thirty years old!

Opposite him was a man in his thirties, wearing a straight suit and a pair of glasses. He looked like an intellectual.

His name is Wang Tianqiong, and he has nothing to do with Wang Shuo, but he is a master and apprentice with Gu Qingfeng. He was born in Beijing Film Academy and worked in China Film Group for two years.

This time when China Film and Television came to Eagle Country, he naturally wanted to get a chance.

"Mr. Wei, we have probably seen these scripts. They are all medium-cost Hollywood movies."

He pushed up his glasses: "We have just arrived in Eagle Country. Although we are very familiar with the situation here, many things still need to be done step by step. After all, we have to use Chinese actors and Chinese crew for filming."

Wei Xizhen nodded. Of course, it is impossible to use all Chinese in movies made here.

Just like the original co-production policy.

China Film and Television needs to use Chinese actors. These actors are all within the system, such as first-class and second-class actors. They are completely different concepts from Xiao Yuer and others.

At the same time, for the sake of relevant policies, China Film and Television gives priority to overseas Chinese actors.

For example, people like Xia Liming and Xia Lixue.

Therefore, when China Film and Television comes to Eagle Country, domestic actors will not miss it because they have no share.

Wei Xizhen said: "The cost of these scripts is probably around 30 million US dollars. The cost is no problem, but is the shooting scene too small?"

At this price, you can shoot blockbusters in China.

Thirty million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 200 million Chinese dollars.

Xu Xuan's "Now You See Me" is nothing more than this number.

But Wei Xizhen would like to ask, at this price, can it achieve the same box office as The Thieves?

It's obviously impossible.

But this is Eagle Country after all, and the box office earned is US dollars, so Wei Xi really won’t be too entangled in this issue.

"Let's just take this one, "Midnight Clash". Starting from a thriller, it can give you directors some experience and save you from always complaining that domestic standards cannot be relaxed." Wei Xizhen said while holding a script.

Wang Tianqiong smiled and nodded in agreement.

Later, Wei Xizhen came up with two more scripts, both costing around US$30 million.

Three books were released at the same time, with a cost budget of US$100 million. This is the first capital chain for China Film and Television.

After the directors left, Wei Xizhen slowly exhaled.

To be honest, she was under a lot of pressure.

When China Film and Television comes to Eagle Country to develop, it must produce results.

Although no domestic tabloid reporter dares to report extensively on China Film and Television, if it does not get off to a good start, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the relevant leaders.

This is one of the reasons why Wei Xizhen wants to fight for power with Xu Xuan.

Only by completely controlling China Film and Television can she freely make big moves.

Xu Xuan's character is too withdrawn. To be precise, he is not withdrawn, but dictatorial.

Throughout Xu Xuan's debut, many things have been decided by one person. Unless it is the development of the company, he will not interfere too much, but as long as it is a work, Xu Xuan has the final say.

Coupled with Xu Xuan's domestic achievements, if he gets the right to speak, Wei Xizhen will become an empty frame.

And Wei Xizhen also knew that the leaders made Xu Xuan the vice president of China Film and Television to give WL Film and Television a platform and prevent the capital and politicians of Eagle Country from going too far.

At this time, her secretary walked in with a surprised expression on her face.

"Mr. Wei..." The secretary hesitated a little, with an expression of surprise, surprise and disbelief.

Wei Xizhen raised his head and looked at her strangely.

The secretary organized the language: ""Ghost Chronicles" is a big hit!"

"It exploded?" Wei Xizhen asked a little strangely: "What does it mean it exploded? Has the box office picked up?"

Wei Xi really didn't have high hopes for this drama, it was just an excuse to block Xu Xuan.

Moreover, China Film and Television only accounts for less than 30% of the total investment.

Xu Xuan invested US$51 billion, which is 51% of the investment. In addition to Xu Xuan's director fees, Xu Xuan, etc. are included, so Xu Xuan alone accounts for about 67%.

The secretary quickly said: "From the first day's box office of 24, the next day, yesterday, and today's box office were 57, 357 million, and 571 million respectively!"

“And, judging from the reviews online, it seems like it’s going to grow.”

"Some people from the four major theaters in Hollywood are already contacting us, wanting to release the film simultaneously and increase the filming rate, but they all ask for a midnight slot."

Wei Xizhen stood up after hearing this, with a look of disbelief on his face.

It was already more than five million US dollars yesterday?

You know, the total cost of this play is one million US dollars.

Originally, Wei Xizhen also understood that if Xu Xuan directed this drama, there should be no problem returning the original work.

Although it only received 24 yuan on the first day, it is likely to be directly released by theaters.

However, there are so many theaters in Eagle Country. In addition to the big four, there are many theaters. They will keep showing the film as long as the midnight slot can make money, so it is very possible that the final box office will reach 3 million to 4 million.

As long as it reaches four million, it will be considered a return on investment!

But now you tell me, yesterday’s box office was over five million and close to six million?

Get your money back in one day?

The secretary said: "Not only that, many people on the Internet are talking about this matter."

"We have also learned before that Xu Xuan leads netizens' debates online, but the popularity has not been very high."

"In the past two days, the topic has suddenly exploded. The filming location has almost become a scenic spot at this time, and the movie theaters are scheduling more and more movies, which are based on midnight thriller movies!"

Wei Xizhen nodded.

Since you are coming to Eagle Country for development, you should be prepared for the market conditions here.

The market in Eagle Country, especially the midnight slot, likes some gory and thriller movies the most.

Didn’t you see that the movies released in one day at midnight in Eagle Country are larger than the movies released in China in a year?

Therefore, the midnight income of Eagle Country is much higher than that of Hua Country.

But more than five million a day still surprised her.

"Quickly, send the news back to China!" Wei Xizhen said.

When people in China mock Xu Xuan, aren't they mocking China Film and Television?

After all, this is the first cooperation between China Film and Television and Xu Xuan in Eagle Country!
