Chapter 226: An earthquake in the film industry, you can make money even while lying down

July.

Xiaogangpao's "Tangshan Earthquake" finally had its premiere in Tangshan, which attracted much attention.

There have been several rounds of publicity before, and all major mainstream media and even CCTV have actively promoted this movie. It can be said that it has unparalleled momentum.

The premiere of the movie was held in Tangshan, and Zhou Yutang also received the invitation, but because of the long distance and the finishing work of the movie and company affairs arrangements, he declined.

After the premiere that day, a heavy rain suddenly fell over the Tangshan Stadium, as if the tears of the 240,000 Tangshan compatriots who had died were like a miracle.

"Brother Tang."

Zhang Ruojun, who followed the Xiaogangpao team to the premiere, was very excited and called Zhou Yutang: "The atmosphere was so hot."

"How to say?"

Zhou Yutang flipped through the documents and put his phone on speakerphone.

"After the premiere in Tangshan, more than 1,000 viewers stood up and applauded for more than 5 minutes. It was so spectacular."

Zhang Ruojun said with emotion: "Brother Tang, I am really speechless and a little excited, but Director Feng is more excited than me. He joked that he will break your box office record. I will go on a road show with Director Feng soon." .”

Previously, Zhang Ruojun had many loyal fans with "Classmates", but it was not a big hit.

As the ratings of Running Man, a variety show, gradually approached 4%, he also accumulated a lot of fans.

Xiaogangpao valued him very much and recruited him into the road show team, traveling around to promote the movie.

"Haha, it's like something a little steel cannon can say."

Zhou Yutang smiled slightly, "500 million is far from the limit. In the future, the box office of the Chinese film market will be higher and higher."

Movie box office is limited by the number of theater screens. Compared with last year, there are more than 2,000 more theater screens nationwide this year, which also provides the possibility for the growth of the film market this year.

What's more, "Tangshan Earthquake" received the bulk of official funding. It is a film with a mission nature. At that time, various government agencies and institutions will probably be tasked with going to the cinema to watch the film and learn from it.

An earthquake in the Chinese film industry is about to come.

as expected.

"Earthquake" grossed 38 million at the box office on the first day of its release, setting a new high for Feng Xiaogang's movies. On the second day, the box office revenue was 46.5 million, and on the third day it was 48.5 million.

After three days of release, the total box office has reached an astonishing 133 million.

Looking around the entire summer season, there are no opponents at all.

Countless people in the industry are paying attention to this movie. As soon as the box office is released, many authoritative organizations have already made statistics and roughly calculated that "Earthquake" is likely to break the box office record of Chinese movies set by Zhou Yutang.

Huayi Company spent a huge amount of money on publicity this time in order to create brilliance and further push up the company's stock price in line with Huanghuang's general trend.

Xiaogangpao also led the creative team on crazy roadshow promotions in cities across the country.

The release schedule once reached over 60%. There was no strong opponent throughout August. The film schedule of "Earthquake" has remained above 50%. Mr. Han took the Hollywood blockbuster "The Robbery" that may pose a threat to the box office of "Earthquake" "Dream Space" is scheduled to be released in early September.

The right time, right place and right people gathered together.

"Earthquake" will undoubtedly be the absolute king of the summer season.

In the later stages of the film, when dubbing was being done, Zhou Yutang asked Guangguang to make a publicity plan first, and a meeting would be held in a few days to decide on the publicity plan.

On this day, Yang Mi came to the office.

"This environment is really nice."

The last time she signed a contract, she signed it in the conference room. This was the first time she came to Zhou Yutang's office.

"I really enjoy it."

Yang Mi looked around, feeling like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

He opened the door of Zhou Yutang's lounge, looked inside, and looked at Zhou Yutang suspiciously: "There is a room for resting. Are you planning to do bad things here?"

"Why do I feel that you are so idle?"

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "How about asking the sales department to contact you for a commercial show?"

Commercial performances are also a major source of income for artists.

In the past few years, Yang Mi has taken on many business performances sent by Luchengda. She has flown all over the country and made a lot of money there.

"If you're the boss, you know how to order me. The business show has been arranged."

Yang Mi began to use her unique sweet voice and said with a coquettish tone: "Yu Tang, when will our company launch a new play? I want to be in your play, and I can play a supporting role."

Since that charming night, Zhou Yutang always felt that the relationship between the two people had undergone subtle changes, and it seemed that an indescribable barrier had been broken.

Damimi also spoke more and more directly and casually, telling her purpose directly.

"We'll talk about the new drama later when we have the opportunity."

Zhou Yutang thought for a while. He promised to provide resources when he just signed the contract. He should indeed give him a gift package for newbies: "Wait a minute, let me ask you."

Picked up the phone and made a call in front of Yang Mi, "Mr. Wang, congratulations on the box office success of "Earthquake". I heard that your "Painted Skin 2" project has been approved. This is my company's Yang Mi."

Yang Mi held her breath and her ears stood up.

Mr. Wang?

The only two Mr. Wangs who can be associated with "Earthquake" and "Painted Skin" are Hua Yi, but I don't know whether they are the big Mr. Wang or the little Mr. Wang.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, thank you. I will be there at the celebration party, so that's it for now."

After only chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Yutang hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and tapped his fingers on the table: "The female supporting role in "Painted Skin 2" has a lot of roles, so you made the decision without any opinion."

"Yu Tang, is this really "Painted Skin 2"?"

Da Mimi's pupils were shocked, her mouth was slightly open and she didn't close it for a long time.

"What happened to "Painted Skin 2"? She's not the heroine again?"

Zhou Yutang picked up the water cup and wanted to take a drink of water, but found that the cup was empty. Yang Mi was very discerning and poured the water back for him.

"Thanks."

Taking the water glass, taking a sip, Zhou Yutang said: "You joined the company late, and the contracts for important roles in several projects in the second half of the year have been signed. It's not good to replace people midway. I'll find a role for you first, and I'll take you with me later." If you want to show your face at the premiere, you can also ask Zeng Jia to help you contact other film companies."

Zeng Jia also joined the Jiangdong Entertainment Artist Management Department and served as Yang Mi's personal assistant.

"Uh-huh."

Happiness came so suddenly, Yang Mi still couldn't believe it, and asked: "Did you really get that role!?"

"I don't have to joke with you."

"Why did Mr. Wang agree to you so easily?"

Yang Mi blurted out this question in excitement. Seeing Zhou Yutang sitting on the boss's chair with a leisurely attitude, she chuckled and said, "I still have some face."

She suddenly came to her senses and felt that her question just now was a bit stupid.

Putting aside his status as the boss of Jiangdong Entertainment, he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the leading domestic variety show production company, and several popular variety shows are all produced by him.

He also has a close relationship with the three major TV stations in the country. Who among the major film and television companies would not give him some face?

As long as you have a movie to be released, you will inevitably go on variety shows to promote it, and there may be some other exchanges of interests.

Yang Mi had a clear understanding of Zhou Yutang's status.

"Sister Jia, the second female lead in "Painted Skin 2" is done."

Back in the car, Yang Mi couldn't wait to tell Zeng Jia the good news with a faint smile on her face.

It seemed that she was in a good position when she was lucky, but in fact, the company could no longer provide much help to her career development.

Now Yang Mi finally felt what it felt like to have her thighs take her flying.

Just one word, cool!

"Mr. Zhou is awesome."

After hearing this, Zeng Jia expressed sincere admiration: "This is a big project for Huayi, and he can get the role."

As a senior agent with rich experience in the arena.

She knows the gold content better than Yang Mi.

The resources of each film and television company are basically the people who promote their own company.

It turned out that Ling Yuda had no film resources, and he broke his leg while running around. He did all kinds of fun and entertainment, but did not give Yang Mi any good opportunities.

It has only been a while since I signed with Jiangdong Entertainment, and I have already won a movie.

Although she is the third female lead, she has a big IP like "Painted Skin", and she stars with Yang Mi, such A-list celebrities as Chen Kun and Zhou Xun. As long as the basics of the first film are maintained, the quality of the sequel will be on par. Above, the box office is absolutely guaranteed.

Listening to Yang Mi's words, Zhou Yutang just made a call to Mr. Wang of Huayi and got the role.

This is definitely a fragrant and sweet cake for the current Yang Mi.

How wonderful would it be if our relationship could take a further step?

Zeng Jia didn’t even dare to think about it.

Turning around, she saw that Yang Mi seemed to be sharing the good news with her good sisters on her mobile phone. She couldn't help but tugged at the corner of her clothes: "I heard that Mr. Zhou's "Big Shot" has been scheduled for National Day and is about to enter the promotion period?"

"Um."

"Don't forget to post on Weibo when you get back."

"Don't worry, I know it."

Yang Mi didn't look back and continued chatting, but Zeng Jia came over and said earnestly: "Mi Mi, in daily life, you should also take the initiative to show concern for Mr. Zhou, do you understand?"

The post-production of the "Big Shot" movie that Zhou Yutang invested a lot of time and energy in has finally been completed.

We invited Han Sanping, Tian Zhuangzhuang and other teachers to watch the finished film.

"The filming was good and the acting was good."

Tian Zhuangzang smiled and praised it without hesitation: "It's a commercial film, but the story theme is very profound, not bad!"

Teacher Tian, ​​who has always been very demanding, used three good ones in a row, which shows that he is very optimistic about his beloved disciple's movie.

Han Sanping, however, had a headache: "Yu Tang, I've asked you to restrain yourself a bit, but the scale is still a little big. It reflects the real estate. If you review it."

"Mr. Han, this is obviously a positive story about an old policeman defeating bad guys."

Zhou Yutang said sternly: "In short, China Film Group also has a share, and I rely on your help in the review."

"Earthquake" swept through the film industry like a hurricane, with 180 million in 4 days of release, and over 300 million in 7 days of release.

The film schedule has always been above 50%, and many units have booked theaters. In order to increase the final box office, China Film has made plans to extend the release period of "Earthquake" appropriately.

Before the news got out, people with great powers in the circle learned about it, and Han Sanping was scolded like a mountain eagle again.

Zhou Yutang knew the inside story.

This matter really wasn't Mr. Han's idea. The General Administration held a meeting to study and decide.

In any case, it was a foregone conclusion at this point.

Xiaogangpao has already swept the summer season, and it is only a matter of time before it sets a new box office record in China.

But Zhou Yutang is not at a loss either.

Huayi's stock has been rising well these days, and he has made a small profit of seven figures.
