Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 160 I won’t let you eat hot shit

on Monday.

Inside a hotel in Pengcheng.

Xu Ming walked onto the stage with Ni Ni and others.

Singing "Those Years" for the couple who proposed at the previous premiere.

Given the popularity of "So Young" in recent times, the arrangement of the bride and groom can be said to have reached the top.

Even older relatives would subconsciously call Xu Ming "Xu Xiaoming" when they saw his face.

The influence of the two Spring Festival Galas cannot be overstated.

"I would like to wish the bride and groom a happy marriage and a long life together." Xu Ming said with a smile.

This time, not only did he not take the money, he actually gave 20,000 yuan as a gift on behalf of the crew.

After blessing, he returned to the table reserved for the crew members.

He always smiles in the face of the endless stream of people coming to get autographs and take photos.

I didn't stop until the food was served.

Xiao Juan seized the opportunity and came up to him and said, "Brother Ming, the box office statistics for Sunday are out. It's 6100 million, and the cumulative box office for the first weekend is 22680 million."

This has exceeded 200 million.

Even though he had confidence in "So Young", he couldn't help but feel dazed at this moment.

Compared with the entire Chinese-language film market, this box office trend can be described as explosive.

The key word of mouth has not collapsed, which means that the subsequent box office will be stable, which is very impressive.

"Let the people in the company's publicity department work at full capacity. The press releases prepared previously should be sent out. There is no need to ask anyone to report the publicity and promotion expenses. The total amount can be controlled within 30 million yuan." Xu Ming said in a deep voice.

Previously, he had been suppressing the company's publicity, just letting word of mouth ferment on its own, and media publicity was mostly spontaneous.

Now that the situation is clear, it is naturally time to launch a large-scale attack.

The production cost was 30 million, plus the publicity and promotion fee was 30 million, for a total investment of 60 million. A box office of 200 million actually means that the movie has made a profit.

All that remains is whether we can become the first domestically produced film to gross over 500 million yuan.

If he remembered correctly, Feng Dapao's "Aftershock" would be released next month, breaking the box office record to 6.47 million.
Then in December, "If You Are the One 12" took in 2 million yuan, and "Let the Bullets Fly" set a new record, taking in 4.73 million yuan.

While these movies have not yet taken off, he wants to break a record first to try his luck.

Even if it can only last for a month, it is an honor.

"Okay, there is one more thing. Tomorrow both 'The Karate Kid' and 'The Battle of Shama Town' will be released." Xiaojuan said.

"Got it. Nothing to worry about. Let everyone focus on their own movie." Xu Ming nodded.

He understood what Xiaojuan meant, which was simply about whether or not to take a sniper shot at these two movies.

After all, there have been many negative reviews about "So Young" on the Internet during this period.

They were all planned by their competitors, but Qi Ming nipped them all in the bud.

Even though the former had the name of Jackie Chan, it still couldn't save this pseudo-kung fu film that was neither Chinese nor Western.

As for the latter, Sun Honglei and Lin Zhiling are still far from being able to carry the box office.

Of course, if we really talk about it, none of them can compare to "Avatar", which was released in January this year and grossed 13 billion in China alone.

Domestic filmmakers were almost shocked to their deaths. They never thought that in China, a land of film production, a single film could have the potential to gross over 1 billion.

"Mr. Xu, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I can ask..." Guo Fan at the side put down the lobster in his hand and said hesitantly.

"Ask." Xu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Why did you decide that there was still potential to be tapped and that we should wait a little longer when the box office figures for the first film came out?"

Guo Fan asked about the confusion that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time.

If the other party did not have absolute confidence, it would be impossible for them to pressure the company to promote it until now.

As soon as these words were spoken, other people at the table also looked over.

Xu Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Guo Fan to ask this question. He pondered and said, "First of all, there are not many successful precedents of youth films in China. Except for me, the other creators can be called newcomers in the film industry. The audience will naturally be skeptical. Besides, this is not the comedy that I am famous for."

"So the low box office at the premiere is understandable. I'm waiting for the college students from the campus beauty contest to get involved. As long as their word of mouth spreads, it will snowball." "Also, I believe in the quality of our movie."

There is another thing he didn't say. He really thought that he had brought in China Film Group and Wanda Film Group Co., Ltd. as investors for nothing, and that they would definitely give priority to their own people in the film scheduling.

He has everything: the right time, the right place, and the right people. How can he lose?

Guo Fan seemed to understand, but he was also gradually absorbing knowledge about movies.

Then Xu Ming asked, "How is the preparation for "Fleeting Time" going?"

“It can be turned on at any time.”

Guo Fan sat up straight, feeling anticipation in his heart.

"Well, let's start after the roadshow is over this week. I guess other companies will take action as soon as they receive the news." Xu Ming nodded.

Based on his understanding of his domestic peers, they would take a bite of something even if it was a pile of shit as long as it looked like it could make money.

……

Orange Sky Entertainment.

When Wu Kebo listened to his men's reports, he felt a heavy breath blocking his chest.

This guy Xu Ming has really become a troublemaker again.

If he had known this would happen, he would have let Jiang Yiyan sit on the other person in the club.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Seeing his subordinates acting so submissively in front of him was even more disgusting, so he threw the teacup away.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and start a youth-themed movie. You can't even keep up with the heat while eating shit!" Wu Kebo yelled.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The subordinate responded.

……

Huayi.

Wang Zhongjun looked at the box office data in his hand and frowned.

"The young are really promising. This movie might break the box office record of Founding of a Republic." Feng Xiaogang smacked his lips.

In "Let the Bullets Fly", he met Xu Ming, and at that time he was just considered a rising star.

Now it seems that we may soon become competitors.

There are only so many good schedules in China, and it will be difficult to avoid conflicts in the future.

"Tell me, is there any way to ask him to write a script and work with you?" Wang Zhonglei pondered.

Last year, Xu Ming pointed at him and called him a double-forked man on his blog. Now that he thinks about it, the other party is not that hateful.

As long as it can help the company make money, everything is fine.

"Haha, that's not up to me."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head. He would not get involved in such a mess.

"It's difficult. Forget about it. Just take care of the Tangshan Earthquake first."

Wang Zhongjun's tone was complicated. Who could have thought that Xu Ming would become more and more powerful after being banned again and again?

The more successful the other party is, the more it is like a slap in the face, mocking his lack of vision.

"Then I'll let our team start making a youth film. The subject matter is not difficult and has great potential." Wang Zhonglei said.

……

at the same time.

Film and television companies such as Bona and Xiaoma Pentium have all launched projects for youth-themed films.

According to gossip, when the news came out that "So Young" had grossed over 200 million yuan in its first weekend, Bona's Yu Dong smashed his office.

Of course, when a reporter asked about it the next day, he only got the response "it's pure rumor".

It was just when these colleagues decided to follow suit.

"Fleeting Time" has already started filming quietly.
