Chapter 566: The Significance of No. 1 at the Box Office
Bai Chongshi had no reason not to be angry. It could be said that at this moment, his heart was filled with endless anger and deep confusion.
If "School Days" produced by the company last summer lost to Yang Ming's "My Sassy Girl" at the box office, it can be said to be an accident.
So what about this time?
"Blissful" is a New Year's film that cost the company countless efforts and planned for a long time, but it still lost to the other party's small-budget film. This result makes Baek Chong-seok, who has always been proud and proud, how can he bear this result.
Whether it is the production cost or the cast, the two films produced by Zhonghuang Entertainment far surpass each other. Even in terms of directors, Bai Chongshi does not think that his company's directors are inferior to Yang Ming, who is famous for his genius.
But the result was that they lost.
Zhonghuang Entertainment Company failed to produce two movies in succession at the hands of the same person.
In the past few days, as the box office of the two movies "Blissful" and "The Girl We Chased Together" has been getting bigger and bigger, Bai Zhongshi didn't have a good face. When "Emergency" was still under pressure
"Crash Landing on You" has now reversed course and surpassed "Blissful" at the box office, and his mood is even worse.
No one knows better than him what the box office ranking means at this time?
First, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", Oriental DreamWorks, 720 million.
Second, "Crash Landing on You", Hollywood, 460 million.
Third, "Blissful", Zhonghuang Entertainment, 420 million.
Fourth, "Super Troopers", Hollywood, 390 million.
Bai Chongshi looked at the box office ranking statistics, his brows furrowed, and his face became even more serious.
The current situation is very unfavorable for Zhonghuang Entertainment. Their company's carefully produced New Year's blockbuster "Blissful" is simply blocked in front and pursued by soldiers behind. Of course, the box office potential of "Super Troopers" is almost exhausted, and the box office
It is simply impossible to surpass "Blissful".
But Bai Chongshi didn't dare to relax at all. He looked at the box office rankings on the computer screen, feeling indescribably aggrieved.
"Those Years" ranked first at the box office. The title of this movie deeply hurt Bai Chongshi. He really didn't expect that this small-budget movie, which he didn't pay attention to at all, would cause such a stir.
Big storm.
He let out a heavy breath, turned his eyes away from the computer screen, lay down on the boss's chair, making a creaking sound, and squinted at the high-rise buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
As the helmsman of a giant company in the film industry, Bai Chongshi knows very well what it means if Yang Ming's film becomes the number one in the box office rankings this time.
Money, fame, popularity, these are all irrelevant.
The most important thing is that at such an important time when Chinese films and Hollywood's Western film industry are starting a war, Yang Ming's "Those Years" came out of the blue, beating two Hollywood blockbusters and taking the first place in the box office. This
For the upper echelons of the entertainment industry, Wuxin is the most timely fig leaf.
Moreover, the most important thing is that neither "So Far" nor "Blissful" produced by his company has successfully completed the task of blocking Hollywood blockbusters.
Bai Chongshi can completely imagine how disappointed the older generation of film industry leaders are with Zhonghuang Entertainment and Tianxia Pictures at this moment, and how lucky they are for the emergence of Oriental DreamWorks.
This invisible change in the attitude and view of the upper management towards Oriental DreamWorks is what Bai Chongshi least wants to see.
No matter how much money Oriental DreamWorks makes or how famous it is through the movie "The Girl We Chased Together", it doesn't matter. He, Bai Chongshi, won't take it to heart at all.
But if the big guys in the film industry change their views on Oriental DreamWorks, this will be the biggest gain for Oriental DreamWorks.
Bai Chongshi is very clear that Oriental DreamWorks has just entered the film industry, and neither technology nor talent reserves are enough to affect the interests of their first-line giants. Even if they produce one or two high-box office movies now, it will not change the current situation of China Film.
industry structure.
Because the background of Oriental DreamWorks is too shallow.
This is also the biggest disadvantage of Oriental DreamWorks.
But now Yang Ming's movie "Those Years" has appeared at a very coincidental time. The most important thing is that this movie became an overnight success. Not only did their two domestic movies become hits, but also
Having beaten two Hollywood blockbusters to take first place at the box office, this really makes them feel happy and relaxed for those big bosses who expect the Chinese film industry to beat Hollywood's limelight.
"Hey!" Bai Zhongshi sighed heavily. Now he had no way to change this situation.
What makes Bai Chongshi feel extremely embarrassed is that his carefully produced "Blissful" only ranked third at the box office. In other words, if Yang Ming's film had not appeared, it would now be ranked first at the box office.
It must be the Hollywood blockbuster "Crash Landing on You".
If that happens, it will undoubtedly be the most embarrassing and humiliating moment for everyone in the Chinese film industry.
Fortunately, there is Yang Ming, which makes those big guys feel lucky.
"It is estimated that the structure of the film industry will change again in the future." Bai Chongshi said to himself helplessly.
In fact, when the box office of the movie "The Girl We Chased Together" was rising steadily and became the first in the box office list during this year's Spring Festival, China's film industry has slowly undergone subtle changes.
Those frustrated talents at the bottom of the entertainment industry have officially turned their attention to the new force of Oriental DreamWorks.
Although this company has just been established, it has no qualifications or history compared to other film and television giants, and has a shallow foundation. It was not favored by everyone before. However, now this company has successfully produced many TV series with explosive ratings, with exceptions.
Filmed two box-office hits.
Although Oriental DreamWorks is still not on par with the established giant film and television companies in the film industry, its success and miracles cannot be ignored by anyone.
Like the rising sun, the future is bright.
As a result, all kinds of self-recommended resumes flew to the Oriental Dream Factory like snowflakes.
Unlucky talents in directors, photographers, lighting, artists, singers, makeup, recording, etc. are flocking to Oriental DreamWorks in search of opportunities to make a name for themselves.
All of this was a change that neither Yang Ming nor Liu Xinsheng had expected before.
However, this is definitely a good thing. It seems that Oriental DreamWorks has an opportunity to expand.
Yang Ming naturally knew through the phone call that many people had come to DreamWorks to apply for jobs recently, but he really couldn't spare the time to go for interviews, so he asked Kong Weidong, Mo Xiaohua and others who were idle to check on Liu Xinsheng.
Just because the company expands, everyone can't join DreamWorks.
