241. Billion Box Office Gap(1/2)

Xu Shi took the box office report card in his hand and started to look carefully.

The daily box office of "Passion" was 480 million.

The box office on the second day was 510 million.

The box office on the third day was 460 million.

.........

The box office on the seventh day was 390 million.

"Passion" has a box office of 2.5 billion yuan per week.

"The Witch" has a daily box office of 350 million.

The box office of the next day was 420 million.

The box office on the third day was 450 million.

............

The box office on the seventh day was: 480 million.

"The Witch" has a box office of 2.6 billion yuan on the last day of the first week and surpassed "The Passion".

Looking at the report card in his hand, Xu Shi couldn't help but smile. Such results were completely beyond his expectations.

The post-production power of "The Witch" is indeed quite strong, and judging from the box office curve, its box-office will not fall too quickly, and it is more promising than "The Passion".

Now the hot searches on the Internet have been occupied by "The Witch", and the topicality of both sides is no longer on the same level.

The scenes of "Passion" are indeed ignited, and they are the best in popcorn movies, but after watching them once, the audience no longer has the desire to watch them for a second time. After all, the plot is relatively simple, and everyone is looking for the picture.

But "The Witch" is different. Its plot is very interesting, and there are too many points to discuss and dig deep in the plot.

Many people have not only watched it once, but many people have made two or three shots.

Moreover, due to the increase in the number of people discussing, more people who were not very interested will be attracted to watch it.

Another key point is that the movie "The Witch" is a domestic drama, while "The Passionate" was introduced abroad.

With the box office of "The Witch" against "The Passion", the hot discussions on the Internet have become increasingly high.

It seems that I don’t know when it started. Since the introduction of these foreign blockbusters, domestic movies have basically lost the battle against these movies, and they have lost the big score.

It seems that the gap between the two sides is very big.

Since Xu Shi defeated "4" with "Hacker" last time, this situation seems to be turning around.

But the reality is as always, other movies still fail when facing these Hollywood blockbusters.

However, this time "The Witch" defeated Hollywood blockbusters again, and it was during the Spring Festival, which was even more exciting.

................

"I'll inform you and ask Zhang Kui, Han Shang and others, as well as the members of the screenwriter team to have a meeting." Xu Shi said to the secretary beside him.

This is not his secretary, but his elder sister Xu Mei's secretary. Xu Shi did not want to find a secretary for the time being. Anyway, his affairs are handled first by his elder sister, and then they cannot decide, or they need to discuss before they come to him. They don't need a secretary very much.

Of course, this is also related to his desire to be lazy. If he has a secretary, he will not be able to escape many things.

Soon Xu Shi arrived at the conference room and saw Cheng Guo being inside, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What? Are you trying to eavesdrop on our company's secrets?"

Cheng Guo said seriously: "What is your company? It's our company."

"Hmm?" Xu Shi was really stunned. What does Cheng Guo mean in his words?

"Brother Xu, Director Cheng is also preparing to join our Jingwu Sect." Zhang Kui on the side said with a smile.

"Really? When did you make the decision? Did Mingyue agree?" Xu Shi asked several questions in a row, and was also very happy.

You should know that what their company lacks the most now is director. Cheng Guo has worked with them so many times, which is the most suitable one.

However, Cheng Guo was from Mingyue Company in the past, and the relationship between the two parties was very good, so Xu Shi didn't want to poach.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Guo chose to leave Mingyue and come to their Jingwu Sect after achieving such good results.

"I have already discussed it with Mr. Wang, there is no big problem, but the company still needs to pay the penalty for me." Cheng Guo also said with a smile on his face.

He also thought about it a lot before making a decision, and it was not a decision that he made when he was angry.

"Don't worry about the liquidated damages, but why did Mr. Wang release people so happily?" Xu Shi asked.

No matter how I think Wang Mingyue wouldn't let anyone go so happily. You should know that the results of "The Witch" have come out, which fully proves Cheng Guo's ability. It is obviously not in line with the company's interests when he lets someone go.

Cheng Guo said: "The contract I signed with Mingyue is not the kind of sales contract. It is considered to be a cooperation between the two parties. Mr. Wang also knows the situation, so he didn't say much."

Although Cheng Guo didn't say much, Xu Shi understood that Cheng Guo's original results could only be said to be average. Apart from "The Witch", the only movie that made a big box office hit is "One Man's Martial Arts".

But everyone knows that in "One Man's Martial Arts", he is just a director of the picture, and all the contents in it are captured by Xu Shi.

Therefore, everyone does not have much recognition of Cheng Guo.

In addition, Cheng Guo is an old employee at Mingyue, so the contract he gave cannot be too harsh, so the termination of the contract is natural.

Xu Shi didn't ask too much. He must have invited Cheng Guo to have a meal in the evening, and it wouldn't be too late to talk about it in detail then.

"Okay, the results of "The Witch" have come out. According to the current trend, the box office boom has become a fact, so we congratulate Director Cheng first." After saying that, Xu Shi took the lead and applauded.

After the applause stopped, Xu Shi continued: "Then let's start to analyze why "The Witch" can be successful and what successful experiences can be learned from it."

This is also the purpose of Xu Shi's analysis meeting, so that everyone can learn from some of the experiences and accumulate background for future scripts and filming.

"Mr. Xu, that's what I think. In "The Witch", there are actually not many brain-burning plots. Although there are many people discussing online now, in fact, this movie is not a brain-burning drama at all. It just puts the last big bossF at the end and then all of them are released all at once, giving people a sense of impact.

Moreover, during this period, I also checked the box office of classic suspense and brain-burning dramas. It can be seen that these movies are indeed classics, and all kinds of suspense shots and suspense are also very appropriate.

But the box office is not very ideal, and it is a kind of film that is very popular but not popular. Please watch the big screen." Wang Feiyun spoke first, and then placed a series of data on the projector.

It can be seen that he has indeed put in a lot of effort during this period.

"So my idea is that when we write scripts, we can write scripts that are not too brain-burning, which not only gives people a suspense but does not need to be carefully pondered.

After all, everyone is very busy now, and the biggest ingredient in watching movies is entertainment, not for the pursuit of decryption. This degree must be grasped well."

Wang Fei said a lot and said some of his own ideas.

Starting with Wang Feiyun, everyone immediately participated in the discussion. Zhang Kui, Cheng Guo and others also quickly joined in and analyzed the script from the director's perspective.

............

Just when Xu Shi and the others were having a meeting, She Yueling was also very lively.

Chang Yue and his men gathered at She Yueling's home again at this time. With She Yueling's success, these men came more and more diligently.

"Lingling, congratulations, you have really succeeded this time." Chang Yue said enviously.

"Yes, you've achieved this in one step. Judging from the current situation, the box office of your movie will probably not be less than 4 billion.

Oh my God, how great it would be if I could star in a 4 billion movie." Tao Mengyu rolled on the sand with her pillow in her arms.

Among the four of them, She Yueling was the first to debut, but at the beginning they didn't think She Yueling could do better than them.

After all, She Yueling's personality is here. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has a rather unyielding personality.

They have known this for a long time, and such a personality is actually not suitable for exhibition in the entertainment industry at all.

Although they are young, they know more than anyone else.

The silly and sweet appearance is just the character in front of the audience, and they should understand everything.

But no one expected that Xu Shi suddenly broke into the entertainment industry, and what he didn't expect was that Xu Shi was She Yueling's senior brother.

Now, ask the people in the entire circle, who doesn’t envy She Yueling?

There is no need for too many social engagements, and there is no need for intrigue. You just need to act the show well.

"Hehe, I'm lucky too." She Yueling smiled foolishly.

But she also knew that she was really lucky. After all, she was not a fool who knew nothing. She knew everything.

Even though she didn't understand it very much before, after spending so long in the entertainment industry, she also understood how lucky she was to meet a senior brother like Xu Shi.

"Ah, no, I want to have a big meal. Lingling, you want to treat me. If I have abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin..." Tao Mengyu shouted loudly.

"Okay, then I'll order food now?" She Yueling said with a chuckling.

Just as she took out her cell phone, she suddenly called in.

"Sister Yan, what's the matter?" The one who called her agent Liu Yan.

She also knew that if it was okay, Liu Yan would not call her.

"That's right. You and Xiaoxiao were selected as the Best Actress at the Academy Awards. I'll let you know." Liu Yan's tone was a little excited.

Is the best actress finally coming out in her hands?

This is not only a recognition of the artist, but also an honor for the agent, which will also make her more popular in the agent circle.

"Ah, is it true?" She Yueling was extremely excited when she heard Liu Yan say this, but she quickly reacted.

"I probably have no hope this time. If I don't talk about anything else, I can't compare to Sister Xiaoxiao." When she said this, She Yueling couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Indeed, when selecting the best actor and actress, it is not only about acting skills, but also about the box office of the film and some of the actors' fame.
