MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 543 the eve of the show
Chapter 543 on the eve of release
After "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was released, it was "Eavesdropping" that succeeded this film.
"Eavesdropping" performed well at the box office, especially in the period of financial crisis shrouded in gloom. This kind of movie about business game solving and human nature has aroused great interest from movie fans.
However, although this movie is extremely good, it is not as good as the "Infernal Affairs" series after all. After the box office broke 400 million, it gradually stagnated and stopped rising.
Hollywood movies, which have been suppressed for a long time, have finally sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain after "Eavesdropping".
…………
Jiang Ge encountered a trough in his life, facing the future, he became confused and at a loss.
During this period of time, Xinghui gave him the feeling that he was in chaos.
It's a disgusting mess.
No one would have imagined that Xinghui, who once occupied half of China, would start to wilt within just a dozen days.
Every day he walks into the company, he sees some people coming out of the office with contracts...
He heard rumors that Li Zhongjun, the boss of Xinghui, seemed to be selling Xinghui's shares, but no one cared about them, and he couldn't sell them.
In late May, Xinghui's stock has been falling, and shareholders are going crazy with anxiety.
There are also rumors that Shengshi is poaching people from Xinghui's side at a high price, and they are making trouble. Xinghui's side seems to be in turmoil, and many people are not working well.
This world is very realistic...
When the rumors appeared, and one after another, everyone began to feel a crisis of trust, and then it became even worse.
Jiang Ge knocked on Li Zhongjun's door.
Compared to Li Zhongjun a month ago, Li Zhongjun now seems to be extremely haggard.
Seeing Django coming in, he smiled and invited Django to sit down. The whole person began to be more friendly to Django, at least his speech was not as threatening and aggressive as before.
He handed Jiang Ge the contract for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2".
"If you are willing to stay in Xinghui, the company will pay you to shoot "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2"..."
"Although the company is in crisis now, it's just some minor difficulties. The movie "Righteous Man" is about to be released. You should know the weight of this movie, right?"
"The company's finances are not as bad as the outside rumors, and the company's cohesion is very strong. Shengshi has been trying to poach people from our side. You know the situation. Not many people from our side have left, but many people have continued with our company. I have an appointment..."
"..."
Jiang Ge found it hard to believe that under such circumstances, the employees in the company would actually renew their contracts with Xinghui.
However, when Jiang Ge saw the smile on Li Zhongjun's face, Jiang Ge felt that Li Zhongjun did not seem to be lying.
He should have offered these people some conditions, which made it difficult for them to refuse, and then renewed the contract...
"I was a little aggressive when I spoke to you before, and now I apologize to you for what I said before..."
Jiang Ge saw Li Zhongjun raised his head, then stood up, his eyes full of apology.
A high-ranking person, a high-ranking person who has stayed in a high position for many years, would actually apologize, which is something Django could never have dreamed of.
Django was filled with emotions, and suddenly he was a little moved.
Li Zhongjun chatted with Jiang Ge about many things, about Xinghui’s start-up meeting, about how he carried a dead pig overnight, and about how he had nothing but persisted in the end...
There is nostalgia for the past in the words, and naturally there are lofty ambitions, which inevitably infected Jiang Ge, making Jiang Ge unconsciously think of the future of Xinghui and the future of the film industry.
Half an hour later...
He signed the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2", and also signed the contract of Xinghui.
Xinghui's contract did not have the series of rigid conditions last time, and it began to become looser.
He suddenly realized that Li Zhongjun is not some kind of character in troubled times, who has personal charm?
However, after signing various contracts and walking out of Xinghui, his heart suddenly felt a little empty, and the feeling of confusion and bewilderment seemed to be stronger.
……………
June 1st.
The Hollywood movies released on this day are very crazy.
Except for the Chinese movie "Eavesdropping", the other two are newly released Hollywood movies.
Among them, a Hollywood fantasy movie called "The Duke of Hell" set off a wave of enthusiasm once it was released...
The male protagonist of "Duke of Hell" is extremely ugly, blood-red all over, like a monster coming out of flames. When the publicity first started, because of the lessons learned from "Lizard Man", fans of this type of movie were not very interested, but when After the premiere, movie fans were immediately attracted by the gorgeous Western weirdness in the movie...
Exquisite magic and runes, weird **** world, western ghost culture and human historical background combined, dazzling special effects and mysterious world...
Everything is a feast for the audience.
And the other movie is a magical fantasy movie called "Magical World"...
Although the word-of-mouth and movie-watching enthusiasm of this movie are not as high as "Duke of Hell", after watching the movie, fans all said that this movie is worth 30 yuan movie ticket price.
The premiere box office of the two films is 52 million for the former and 43 million for the latter...
Although the box office of "Dukes of Hell" is not as high as that of "Jaws", and it is not as crazy as "Time Travel", but it is a movie with a total box office of over one billion.
Jaws, Time Travel…
Two Chinese movies have grossed over one billion yuan at the box office, but they are all Hollywood movies.
Now there is another "Dukes of Hell" coming...
This made the Chinese movie fans and filmmakers who had just finished painting and were inspired by "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" feel an indescribable sense of loss again.
But the sense of loss is not despair, but confidence.
"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" 800 million!
It seems that one billion is not too far away!
On June 2nd after this emotion appeared.
Xinghui Entertainment has a wave of hot searches!
【The agreement is finalized, the original cast will soon reunite for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2", Jiang Ge: The goal of this movie is one billion RMB! 】
【China's first Chinese superhero, "Righteous Man" announced that it will be scheduled for June 15th! Cao Bangguo supervised the production, and made a bold statement: The box office of this movie is expected to be 1.4 billion, surpassing "Time Travel"! 】
【…】
When Xinghui was rumored to be in a huge crisis, the announcement of these two pieces of news was like a shot in the arm, stabbing hard in the heart, causing the already sluggish heart to start beating.
"After today, although Chinese movies have seen the dawn of dawn and hope, Hollywood movies are still dominating our Chinese movies!"
"But that day is not far away, it will be in June, yes, it will only be in June!"
"..."
When it was announced that "Heroes of Righteousness" had been finalized, perhaps because he felt that the popularity was not enough and there were still some shortcomings, Cao Bangguo actually appeared in front of the media, boldly expressing his expectations for this movie.
1.4 billion!
When the movie fans saw this astonishing data and the cast of "The Righteous Man", they were so excited that they went crazy.
【Famous actor Liang Jiayu, action superstar Huo Yuanjie joined, Chinese Hollywood superstar, starring Li Lunshuo】, 【Hollywood's first Chinese superhero movie】, 【Beyond "Time Travel" to create a milestone! 】…
In the next ten days...
Xinghui spent a lot of money to hype these labels, and even published a series of dazzling and eye-catching fighting scenes on the Internet, which made movie fans surprise after watching and directly filled their expectations!
They seem to have seen that Chinese movies are about to open to the world!
On June 10th, the DV company even sent a person in charge to come over. Facing the Huaxia reporter, the person in charge said with anticipation: "This should be the best superhero I've ever seen. Movies are not inferior to "Superman", I came here from Hollywood, just to come to China to witness history!"
The praise from the DV official made the fans’ expectations even more high. When the pre-sale tickets for the premiere opened, they were all sold out. The people in charge of the theater praised the movie’s “empty alley”!
Under a series of publicity, Xinghui's stock has returned to historical levels, and even broke through the highest point in history on the eve of the release!
Countless capitals began to be interested in Xinghui's equity again, and came to the door of Xinghui Company one after another...
But except for Li Zhongjun who sold some shares, the rest of the shareholders started not to sell shares again...
…………
"It feels like Xinghui is fighting for his life... There is always some unspeakable uneasiness..."
"Hehe, it's not just Xinghui who is fighting for his life, our President Zhou is also fighting for his life. After the box office share of the movie "Eavesdropping", he bought five sets of large flats in Yanjing...and persuaded the whole company to buy... He is really obsessed, the lessons learned from Xinghui's overseas assets, he has not summarized at all, and he doesn't listen to the experts... I heard that after the release of "Spider-Man", he will buy it again..."
"Crazy!"
"Shh, don't question Mr. Zhou..."
Early June.
Huaxing has been in a state of discussion.
When all the experts were persuading them not to buy a house, even if the officials came forward, Zhou Yang went against the experts and desperately bought a house.
Zhou Yang naturally heard these discussions.
But he didn't bother.
He has been busy all the time. Besides buying a house, he is paying attention to the situation of "Spider-Man".
In the early morning of June 15th.
Laomei's "Spider-Man" handed over a finished product that Zhou Yang was very satisfied with.
After watching "Spider-Man", Zhou Yang went to the theater to continue watching Xinghui's "Righteous Man"...
When the movie starts a few minutes later...
For some reason, Zhou Yang suddenly had a bad premonition.
this movie…
It seems to be about to pounce.
