The box office of "The Magic Thieves" is expected to stop at 1.48 billion. Even if 80 million is removed, it has set a new record for Chinese-language movies, and it is a new high in the mainland film market.

It helped Light Media's market value exceed 45 billion, successfully surpassing Huayi Brothers and becoming the first entertainment stock.

A bunch of media came to ask Huang Zhonglei what he thought.

What can he have?

"I think movies cannot only focus on the movie itself. In addition to Huayi's creativity, it constantly generates new value for creative content. This is something other companies have not done at present. For example, movie theme parks, movie culture streets, etc., constantly replenishing income beyond the movie's tentacles."

"For example, Di Renjie series, we will build Di Renjie theme in the theme park..."

"However, "The Magic Thieves" has a great inspiration for Chinese movies, which shows that magic themes can be sold. The reputation of "The Great Magician" back then was very mediocre, and it was definitely not that the magic theme itself was not good!"

I secretly stole the fat man...

"The Great Magician" costs 80 million yuan, has a box office of 170 million yuan, and has a mediocre reputation - after all the heartless entertainment elements were stewed, everyone finally found that the whole story actually had nothing to do with magic!

"Of course I have to congratulate him, this is the pride of all Chinese filmmakers!"

On the surface, Huang Zhonglei was very kind and acted calmly, but when it came to "Private Customization", he said, "Director Feng has formed a brand advantage, and the king of the New Year's Eve is always the king!"

‘The Dragon King of Shendu, Director Xu is also a technical maniac, underwater 3D, the first time in the world…’

However, after the conversation, he was still a little angry...

Huayi's "The Ming Ghost" in this summer was completely defeated.

At the beginning, he swore that 'it will definitely set off a craze for "The Ming Ghost" in Asia!'

Then, the box office of all Asia was $26 million, and the cost of the movie was $25 million.

He felt that he was being fooled - the promised Sino-Korea co-production, South Korea only provides technology...

Forget it, I don’t think about this anymore. Next, I have to consider "Die Renjie's God Capital Dragon King" competing with "Soon of the Year" in the same period...

It feels a bit difficult - "To Youth" has a box office of 700 million yuan, "Left Ear" has a box office of 500 million yuan, and even "Tiny Times" has a box office of 300 million yuan!

Youth themes are selling well!

Directed by Su Lun, Shen Changlin as the producer, starring Liu Shishi, Yang Yang, Chen Xiao, Bai Jingting... By the way, Lu Han...

At the lowest price, it must have a box office of 500 million!

The box office of the last movie "Tongtian Empire" was only 280 million yuan, and "Divine Dragon King" has reduced the configuration...

Huang Zhonglei really has no confidence!

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Dajun, the deputy director of the film department, came over: "Mr. Huang, I have an appointment for dinner tonight...and Director Chen and Wang Shuo!"

“…din a meal?”

"I heard that Director Chen took over Shen Changlin's new work "The Thieves"..."

“Where?”

“…It seems to be in XX…”

...

In fact, the times have changed. "If You Are the One 2" has been criticized by the media. These people have realized that this era is no longer the era for them to lie flat on their side - now in the Chinese film industry, buddies are just going there!

The next year, "Big Man" had a box office of 800 million yuan, and "Lost in Thailand" had a box office of 1.3 billion yuan in 2012!

After that, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" was 1.2 billion, and "Demon Thieves" was 1.4 billion...

The box office data is getting more and more exaggerated, and what is even more depressing is that the overseas box office of "The Magic Thieves" is close to $60 million!

Several of them had a private dinner and were both unfair for "1942"...

There is no problem with being unfair. "1942" is a good movie. Whether it is the quality of completion or the exploration and expansion of Chinese films in terms of subject matter, it has achieved great results.

I complained a few words in private, and even scolded the audience for not knowing what they were doing. These are all right.

Especially many netizens pretended to say, "If you have the ability to shoot "1962"! You will know that the national consumption crisis is in trouble!"

But you should not blame the audience in public or blame the market - movies are essentially serving the audience, and there is nothing wrong with the audience in theory.

After getting it back, I heard that Director Chen received an invitation from Chen Changlin to star in his new movie and is the protagonist. Several people want to know how his script is written.

Just form a game!

There was no way. The Beijing Circle also tried to win over him, treat him, behead him, accept him as a dog, and the other party didn't accept him, so the next two had no chance to show them at all!

They have formed the mountain themselves and will not play with you.

This is very uncomfortable...

...

In a restaurant's private room, Director Chen handed the script to Wang Shuo, who quickly looked through it...

It is the script summary and a brief analysis of the silent characters...

Not a complete script!

Director Chen is still very professional - he knows what the four words "Nothing is available" written in the script are like this!

The script summary is very simple: It tells the story of a joint operation of theft team from China and South Korea to steal rare diamonds hidden in a Macau casino!

A typical treasure hunting film.

In order to make the Silent Organization more reasonable, the revenge element was added...

"Is this the script?"

“…Well, the script outline and the character analysis.”

Wang Shuo looked down on him a little: "It's too... vulgar!"

"…This script was discussed together by the top commercial film screenwriters of China and South Korea. The story is smooth and the main characters are clear... The characters are also quite distinct. The script of the commercial film, and there are 10 characters. It is already very good to be able to do this," said the author.

"I'll take a look!"

Pants took the script and looked...

"Director, what do you think of this "Thieves"... The title is so bad!"

"The Thieves are literal translation of the Korean title, called "Treasure Hunt Alliance" in Chinese..." Chen Daoming continued: "I have filmed "Statou" and this script is dozens of times better than that. Moreover, Chen Changlin came to me personally and told me that this drama would become a benchmark for China-Korea co-production... I don't know how to refuse!"

"Have you praised?"

Director Chen thought for a while: "It's really a hit..."

"How do you praise it?"

"He said that if I don't play, those Korean actors don't know the level of Chinese actors..."

Wang Shuo glanced at Daoming Chen and said, "You can't say anything, this kid... is quite eye-catching!"

"...Go to you! I will be blown away by you guys sooner or later!" "Not to say, you can't beat me if you have the ability!"

The two were having a happy chat, and Huang Zhonglei pushed the door and walked in, smiling and greeted: "Everyone is here!"

“…Mr. Huang?”

...

Director Chen and Wang Shuo actually don’t like Huang Zhonglei very much…

Nodding a friend...

The relationship between Huayi and the Beijing Circle is mutual use.

Of course, I will invest in projects that are optimistic. If I don’t, I will not invest in projects that are optimistic. After "If You Are the One", Pants reconciled with those old friends. Ye Jingxin’s work "Remember the Song of the Boy", Hua Yi looked down on it and did not invest in it. He still had to find other investors in Pants and drank several big drinks before he got the investment.

Not only Ye Jing, but also Xu Cairen's "Du Lala Promotion Record" was found by investor, but Hua Yi did not invest.

Therefore, it is not very accurate to say that Huayi is the bridgehead of the Beijing Circle.

Later, when I held a family dinner in Pants, I asked Miaomiao to dance... I invited a bunch of friends, no brothers from the Huang family!

There are also clear distinctions in the circle!

But because of the pants, I still gave me a good look.

"…Is this Chen Changlin's movie script?"

Pants handed him the script: "It's an introduction to the script, and you can find it online!"

Huang Zhonglei was a little dissatisfied: "...Why didn't you give you a detailed script?"

Before Chen could speak, he said in his pants: "How can the complete script be circulated casually? It has not been filmed!"

“We are not outsiders…”

Director Chen said: "He told me that this is a group thief film, referring to the "Eleven Arhats" and "Fast and Furious" series, and then adding the main line of revenge..."

“How much does it cost?”

"180 million... This is a joint film between China and South Korea."

"China-Korea co-production..." Huang Zhonglei smiled: "Huayi also made a Sino-Korea co-production... Unfortunately, the box office defeat was a crushing defeat, so I was very curious why Chen Changlin could sell every movie!"
Chapter completed!
