Rebirth 90: I turned my sister into a top student

Chapter 373 "Painted Skin" Released

But after going back, she and Yan Heng studied it carefully and found that Qin Shu's role in "The Legend of Shushan" was less than 5 minutes.

And this role is even dispensable for the whole movie.

Qin Qi has every reason to suspect that this is a secondary role.

But he just wanted to use Qin Shu's current fame to increase the popularity of the film.

The most important thing is that the script of "The Legend of Shushan" is not very good.

The plot of the story is quite unclear. If Director Xu hadn't been doing this, but other people would have done it, it is estimated that this film would not have been made.

And "Rush Hour 2" still has quite a lot of scenes, and it is a very beautiful and fighting female villain.

If it follows, it will be of great benefit to Qin Shu's future pursuit of Hollywood.

The only thing that is not appropriate is that Qin Qi remembers that Zhang Ziyi had a lot of scandals with Brother Cheng when he went to Xiangdao to film in his previous life.

Why sat on the elder brother's lap and ate grapes, what gave the eldest brother Cheng a kiss as a birthday gift, and was tortured enough by Xiangdao's circle and the gang of unscrupulous reporters at a young age.

If Qin Shu really wants to accept this script, Qin Qi must find ways to resolutely avoid it.

Yan Heng didn't know this, but thought it was a good opportunity, and he supported Qin Shu to take over this book.

Qin Qi struggled for a long time, and finally asked Qin Shu for his opinion.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shu had nothing to worry about, and rejected the two movies decisively.

"Sister, I want to study hard first, and I won't take films in the first year."

With his sister's decisive answer, Qin Qi didn't hesitate anymore.

After all, Qin Shu is still young, whether it is acting in too many bad movies or being exposed to too many messy things, it is not good for her growth.

"Okay, little book, then let's go back and study in peace."

Director Xu, who didn't get a response over there, was very puzzled. He deliberately asked someone to ask the reason for the rejection.

Qin Qi refused on the grounds that his sister's studies were the most important and she didn't want to make a film.

Unexpectedly, Director Xu didn't believe this. In the end, Qin Qi was asked anxiously, regardless of whether he was facing a big director or not, so he blurted out.

"Director Xu, although your film is full of stars and special effects, but I don't think it tells the most basic story clearly, and the box office may not be ideal. You must be cautious when selling copyrights in the future."

It was the first time Director Xu was questioned face to face. Although he dismissed it, he still lost his mind.

Qin Qi's words "the box office is not ideal" are like a curse, which has been following him like a shadow.

Sure enough, in the second half of the second year, the box office of "Legend of Shushan" was indeed not ideal. The production cost of 8000 million Hong Kong dollars only reaped 1175 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island and 2000 million in the Mainland.

Fortunately, Dao Xu survived the robbery, and sold the copyright of the beautiful country for 1 million Hong Kong dollars in advance, which was considered a small profit, but it was far from the original grand goal.

On the other side of the beautiful country, there is a big cry of being cheated. The most bizarre thing is that "Legend of Shushan" was not released in the beautiful country, but was directly released on DVD a few years later.

Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

Looking at "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again, with the support of global film festivals and its release in the beautiful country at the end of 2000, the box office performance was quite impressive.

Within three months, it became the first foreign-language film in the history of Beautiful National Films to exceed 1 million US dollars at the box office.

The next step is to win four Oscars and the Golden Globe Award, and give Chinese-language movies a good face in Hollywood.

Qin Qi also accompanied Qin Shu to the beautiful country with Yan Heng.

As a person who has been in the beautiful country for so many years, Yan Zhongming also took advantage of public affairs and took the three of them around for a while.

In May 2001, the post-production of "Painted Skin" by Youth Studio was completed, and Qin Qi was excited when he saw the finished film, which was much better than expected.

Everything is ready, and now we are waiting for the film to go to theaters in the summer.

At this time, the number of screens in Huaguo cinemas was actually relatively scarce, and the total number of screens in the whole country was less than 2000 yuan.

However, the construction speed of the screen is astonishing. In 2012, it reached 1.3 yuan, and in 2017, it exceeded 5 yuan, ranking first in the world.

But if we talk about 2001, a large part of the box office of movies depends on supplements from overseas markets.

What Qin Qi and Yan Heng didn't expect was that Yan Zhongming silently helped them.

In the past few years, he has quietly equipped his commercial real estate projects with international standard cinemas, which can be regarded as being ahead of the times.

At the beginning, the industry did not agree with this move. After all, the Huaguo film market was too small at that time. Compared with many popular industries such as real estate and the Internet, it was not a big money-making business.

But it was such a move that allowed the Yan family to seize the opportunity in the film screening market in the next few years.

Only then did everyone praise the Yan family for their foresight.

After the release of "Painted Skin" in the summer, it immediately achieved a counterattack at the box office as a dark horse. It first broke the 5000 million box office mark, and then went all the way to the box office and broke through 8000 million in one fell swoop.

You know, at this time, movies with a box office of over million are basically overseas blockbusters.

This result shocked people inside and outside the industry.

Especially when you look through your resume and know that the main investment team is still a college student, you can't hide your excitement.

Discussions about "Painted Skin" have been carried out wave after wave in the academic and media circles.

Qi City is even more honored, taking advantage of the wind of "Painted Skin", it has also done a good job of promoting the city.

At the end of 2001, Director Feng's "Big Wrist" was released, and everyone finally found a competitor for "Painted Skin".

It's a pity that the strong joining of "Big Name" failed to shake the annual box office champion of "Painted Skin".

Youth Studio has become the most popular film production and distribution company in Huaguo, and many venture capitalists are thinking about following up this studio.

The Yan family rejected most of the VCs, so there is no need for outsiders to worry about their own company.

Yan Zhongming himself wanted to vote but couldn't.

Yan Heng rejected all external investment. He just wanted to ensure that the company was in the hands of a few of them. As for making it bigger and stronger, he was not in a hurry right now.

After he graduates, he still has a lot of time to play.

But right now, he still has one big thing to do.

For this matter, he even persuaded Qin Qi to take a break, and everyone stopped making movies for the time being, at most they could write scripts.

Qin Qi believed his words, and devoted himself to the class. After all, there was still one and a half years before they would graduate from college.

If you want to be successful in your studies, you should not take it lightly.

On Yan Zheng's side, another big event happened at the end of the year.

It turned out that he had entered the family business after graduating from university half a year ago, and worked on it one after another.

And the main energy is dating Luo Zijun.

At the family reunion at the end of the year, the whole family did not expect that Yan Zheng would bring Luo Zijun home again.

　Thank you for your perseverance, thank you for the votes at the end of the month~~
