The day I got married with a big star

Chapter 1159 Hot!

Plans don't change fast!

The movie "Hot Spot" was originally planned to be released on next year's National Day. However, because the shooting progress exceeded expectations and the post-production was very smooth, Xu Jie decided to advance the movie to next year's May [-]st release.

It is said that changing the file is an expression of lack of confidence in the movie, but Xu Jie is not. On the contrary, he moved the movie to May [-]st file because of his absolute confidence in the movie.

Because he will sign up for next year's Golden Rooster Awards for the movie "Hot Spot".

The registration date for the Golden Rooster Awards is generally from the end of June to the end of July. If the movie "Hot Spot" is released on May [-]st, it will be able to catch up with the registration for the Golden Rooster Awards after it is released. With the popularity of the recent release, the chances of winning the award will also be higher. high.

……

In the past, Xu Jie used to promote movies half a month in advance, so that the limited publicity expenses can be spent wisely.

However, this time, Xu Jie started promoting the movie "Hot Spot" a month in advance.

News, promotional videos, on-set highlights... and even took the actors to major TV stations to participate in the programs. In short, they tried their best to increase the exposure of the actors and increase the attention of the film.

As for the publicity fee, there is no upper limit. Thousands of words can be summed into one word: flower.

Let as many people know about this movie as possible, and let everyone have the desire to go into the movie theater to watch it. As long as you do this, the money will not be wasted.

……

Time is like an arrow, passing by in a blink of an eye.

When people across the country celebrate the May [-]st International Labor Day, the movie "Hot Spot" is also released as scheduled.

As the latest work of the great director Liu Yulin and the big star Su Yun, the movie occupied the No.1 box office when it was released, and achieved a box office score of more than 2 million on the first day.

As word-of-mouth fermented, more and more people flocked to the cinema, and the box office of the movie "Hot Spot" not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

On the second day, it won another 7000 million box office...

After the holiday, Labor Day has a total of five days of holidays, and when the five days are over, the movie "Hot Spot" has won a total of 14 billion box office, becoming the box office champion of May 5000st.

And in the next three weeks, although the box office of the movie is not as good as Wuyi, tens of millions are recorded every day, especially in the three days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it can reach 5000 million, and the popularity of the movie is still high. minus, and no other movie can shake it.

Until the end of May, when the movie was released, the final box office of "Hot Spot" was fixed at 23 billion, becoming the only movie in May 6000st to break 20 billion at the box office, and also the third movie this year to break 20 billion at the box office.

The other two films were released during the Spring Festival.

The box office of more than 20 billion not only made a lot of money for Jingshi Culture, but also made a lot of money for Xu Jie.

30.00% of the box office will be allocated to the producer, that is, the investor.

There are three producers of "Hot Spot", Beijing TV Culture, Outstanding Film and Television and Hua Cinema Line.

According to the proportion, Beijing TV Culture will receive 6000 million, and Outstanding Film and Television and Huaying Cinema will receive [-] million, and these are the net profits after the investment has been cut.

In addition to achieving good results at the box office, the movie has also won the audience's recognition in terms of word of mouth.

Many mainstream movie rating websites have given a score of more than 7.5, which is considered a very high score in commercial movies.

In addition to these, Xu Jie's reputation in the circle has also risen to a higher level.

Not only should the movies he invests in make money, but also because of his status as a gold medal screenwriter.

"Mulan", "Lovers in Time and Space", "The Beast", "Hot Spot", and "Stranger Road", which participated in the screenwriting work, all the films combined have a box office of more than 50 billion.

The most important thing is that every movie he writes makes money, even if it is an art film.

In the entertainment industry, everyone has the money to invest in movies, but not everyone can write scripts that can make money.

In the past, everyone could tolerate it.

But now, I can't take it anymore, my eyes are red.

It's like seeing a gold mine, who wouldn't want to dig it?

Therefore, everyone relied on relationships to find a way out, hoping to cooperate with Mr. Xu.

"Ring bell bell!"

Xu Jie was preparing the application materials for the Golden Rooster Award in the office when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

He looked at the caller ID and pressed the call button.

"what's up?"

"Mr. Xu, Zhao Jing, the general manager of Tengda Film and Television Company, wants to see you and has something important to say." Zhao Xiaoying at the front desk said.

Tengda Film and Television is a very famous film company. It has released several very classic films and has a certain influence in the circle.

Xu Jie couldn't help being curious. Although he knew about this film and television company, he didn't know Zhao Jing. Why did the other party come to him?

important?

What can I do?

"Take him to the reception room, I'll go there right away." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

They are all people in the same circle, and the face that should be given must be given.

"Yes, Mr. Xu."

call ended.

Xu Jie left the office and came to the reception room on the first floor, where he saw a middle-aged man and a young beauty sitting in it.

He didn't know this man, but he knew this woman, who was the first-line actress Fang Su.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Before Xu Jie could say anything, the man stood up, walked over quickly, stretched out his hands and said: "I am Zhao Jing from Tenda Film and Television. I have admired your name for a long time. I am very happy to meet you. your turn."

Xu Jie was startled by the other party's reaction. He nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhao. Your name is also very familiar to me. Please sit down."

"Mr. Xu, you are too polite, you sit too." Zhao Jing said quickly.

Xu Jie sat down, looked at Zhao Jing, and asked: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you have something important to ask me?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Zhao Jing sat upright and said seriously: "That's right, I want to cooperate with your company to make a movie..."

what?

Xu Jie was taken aback when he heard it. The company didn't seem to have issued an announcement to seek cooperation.

Although the company does have a film project at present, it has been started for a month, and now JingTV Culture is strong and strong, and it needs money, money and people, and there is no need to cooperate with other film companies.

"Mr. Zhao, our Jingshi Culture currently has no film projects that require cooperation." Xu Jie said truthfully.

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't have it now. When will it happen in the future, when will we cooperate again? As long as she can play the heroine, I am willing to invest [-] million." After Zhao Jing finished speaking, he pointed to the woman beside him.

Xu Jie turned his head to look at Fang Su, and was directed at Zhao Jing's attitude, there must be something between the two of them.

However, it has nothing to do with him whether the two of them have any business. His film does not require investment, and he does not need others to find actors for him.

Besides, there are too many people who want to cooperate with him, but the other party is the first one who dares to ask for conditions. He has to admire the other party's courage.

If it is [-] million, he will agree without hesitation, but if it is to invest [-] million, go ahead and dream.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your attention, but we, Beijing Television Culture, have no plans to cooperate with other film and television companies." Xu Jie said.

Even if he wanted to praise female celebrities, he would still praise his own people. How could he make wedding dresses for others?

"Mr. Xu, I don't need a salary." Fang Su said with a smile, and at the same time cast a wink.

"Our company will only find actors with suitable roles, and will not formulate roles for actors. If there is a suitable role for you in the future, I will ask you for any salary." Xu Jie said lightly.

The implication: If there is no suitable role for you, don't blame me for not looking for you.

How could Zhao Jing and Fang Su not know Xu Jie's words, they looked at each other, they didn't expect to spend so much money, but they couldn't exchange for a heroine, this kind of situation would never happen in the past.

Zhao Jing thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mr. Xu, since we can't cooperate to make a movie, how about I buy your movie script, what do you think of 1000 million?"

Xu Jie was startled.

There are many people looking for him to collaborate, but this is the first time someone has come to buy his script.

The problem is, he has the ability to make movies, and he also has the funds needed to make movies. In this case, why did he sell the script?Isn't it good to make money by making movies yourself?

Zhao Jing saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he continued to add more money, "Mr. Xu, let's do this. I'll pay 2000 million and ask you to be the screenwriter. How about it?"

"..."

Xu Jie was a little speechless.

I am the general manager of Jingshi Culture, and I am going to be a screenwriter for a movie invested by others?

He is no longer who he was a few years ago.

Isn't this person clearly trying to take advantage of him?

"Ring bell bell!"

At this time, a mobile phone rang.

Xu Jie looked at the call, and after finding out that it was Hu Zhen's number, he looked at Zhao Jing next to him and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'll answer the call."

"Please." Zhao Jing said.

Xu Jie connected the phone directly in front of the other party, "Old Hu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Xu, do you have time at noon? I'll go find you and let's have lunch together." Hu Zhen said.

"It's okay to eat. If you have something to do, it's best to talk about it first, so that I don't lose my appetite when I hear it." Xu Jie knew that something was wrong with Hu Zhen as soon as he heard it.

Hu Zhen coughed dryly. Seeing that the other party had guessed it, he could only confess: "Mr. Xu, you are really good at predicting things. It's like this. Someone found me and wanted me to be a middleman to buy your movie script."

"Oh?"

Xu Jie glanced at Zhao Jing next to him. It seemed that everyone knew that he would not cooperate in filming, so they turned their attention to the script he wrote.

"Mr. Xu, Wanhe Video, do you know? They have always wanted to enter the film industry, but they have never been able to find a good script. They know the gold medal screenwriter in your circle, so they want to buy the film script written by you. They told me The price is 3000 million, and if you work as a film screenwriter, you can add another 2000 million..."

Hu Zhen didn't want to be the speaker at first, but this is 5000 million, not a small amount, and even exceeded the salary of some film stars, so he made this call. As for whether to agree or not, let Mr. Xu decide.

Xu Jie was also shocked by the price.

Before he had time to think about the 2000 million here, another 5000 million came from Hu Zhen?

5000 million, to be honest, he was a little moved.

But he also knew that if he really took the money, he would have to listen to others, and he didn't know how much work he would have to do.

Rather than listening to others, it is better to make decisions yourself.

"Old Hu, tell me something, thank them for their kindness, I will consider it." Xu Jie said.

After Hu Zhen heard it, he knew what it meant. The so-called consideration was actually a refusal, but he was embarrassed to say it directly to save face for each other.

"I know Mr. Xu, then I won't bother you."

At this time, Hu Zhen also felt that it was unnecessary.

Who is Mr. Xu?

Is it 5000 million short?

If Mr. Xu made his own movie, he would earn more than 5000 million.

Xu Jie put down the phone, looked at Zhao Jing and asked, "Mr. Zhao, where were we talking just now?"

Zhao Jing looked embarrassed.

Although he didn't mean it, he really heard what was on the phone just now.

5000?

5000 million for the screenwriter alone?

The key is that Mr. Xu rejected it in the end.

Looking at his 2000 million, he really can't get rid of it.

"Speaking of..."

Zhao Jing dared to speak, and Xu Jie's cell phone rang again.

"Feel sorry."

Xu Jie said to Zhao Jing in embarrassment, and then connected the phone again, "Jiangtouer, what's the matter?"

This time it was Boss Jiang Haijiang who called.

"Mr. Xu, a friend of mine wants to make a movie with a total investment of 8000 million yuan. I would like to invite you to be the director and screenwriter. The labor cost is [-] million yuan..."

Zhao Jing's embarrassing toes on the side could dig out three rooms and two halls.

Well, here comes another 8000 million, and now it seems that he is overthinking his abilities.

He looked at Mr. Xu who was still on the phone and thought: Excuse me...
