Beijing.
General Administration of Culture.
Conference room one.
In addition to Director Ye Wen, other senior officials also attended the meeting.
When discussing a movie-related issue, "Kung Fu" was once again brought up by Ye Wen for praise.
The previous praise for "Kung Fu" was mainly due to thanks to Tan Yue for his support of the work of the General Administration of Culture.
But it's different now. "Kung Fu" has completely crushed "Up to the Sky" at the box office. It is a typical example of a domestic film surpassing an American blockbuster.
Ye Wen said: “In the past, when foreign blockbusters such as ‘Run to the Sky’ were released, few domestic films could dominate the box office. This time, the success of ‘Kung Fu’ shows us that everything is possible. "
"Although it is a bit difficult to bring our films to the world now, we can win the domestic film market first."
In the domestic market, domestic films cannot beat foreign films, let alone even think about going abroad.
One bite cannot make you fat. The most important thing now is to improve the quality of domestic films.
After the meeting, Ye Wen returned to the office and took out her mobile phone to call Tan Yue.
"Hello, Bureau Ye." The phone rang a few times, and then Tan Yue's voice came.
"Mr. Tan, I'm calling you at this time. I'm not disturbing you, right?"
"Haha, Director Ye, I just finished my work here."
"I just want to thank you for your support of the work of our General Administration of Culture. You chose to make "Kung Fu" when no one else was willing to make it."
Now that the box office results of "Kung Fu" are so good, a big stone has fallen from Ye Wen's heart.
Tan Yue said with a smile: "I can make "Kung Fu" thanks to Ye Ju for giving me the inspiration."
"You still have the ability, but compared to other people, it would be difficult to make such a good movie." Ye Wen continued with a smile: "When I have the opportunity, I will invite you to give another class."
Chen Ziyu knocked on the door of Tan Yue's office. When she didn't hear Tan Yue's voice, she opened the door and came in.
Seeing Tan Yue talking on the phone, he didn't bother him.
"I'll be there whenever you need me."
The two chatted briefly and hung up the phone.
Chen Ziyu asked: "Who is it?"
"Director Ye from the General Administration of Culture wants to ask me to give a lecture there." Tan Yue put down his phone and said.
Chen Ziyu knew that the General Administration of Culture had recently implemented a policy to support movies such as martial arts action movies.
"Kung Fu" appeared because Tan Yue decided to film it after Ye Wen arrived.
Chen Ziyu felt deeply that Ye Wen relied heavily on Tan Yue, and there was no other person in the entire entertainment industry.
The development of Bright Entertainment Company to what it is today is also because of Tan Yue's existence.
But looking at the chat between Tan Yue and Ye Wen, Chen Ziyu felt jealous now.
Nowadays, the huge hit "Kung Fu" has become the focus of discussion for the entire Bright Entertainment Company.
"Do you think "Kung Fu" can surpass "The King of Comedy" at the box office?"
Although "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action film, it is also full of nonsensical elements. Naturally, it has been compared with "The King of Comedy", which is also nonsensical.
"It's hard to say. Next we'll see if the box office results can be stable."…
"It should be possible to surpass "The King of Comedy". Although the box office performance of "Kung Fu" on the first day did not exceed that of "The King of Comedy", the box office performance in the first week was still higher than that of "Kung Fu"."
"Yes, and the momentum of "Kung Fu" is very strong now. This is the scariest part. The momentum of the follow-up is simply even stronger than "Garland Under the Mountain"!"
"There is a high probability that the box office of "Kung Fu" will exceed that of "The King of Comedy."
Beijing.
In the city center, a courtyard.
Son Do-ho, who has been busy editing "Dark Forest", gave himself a half-day holiday to rest.
The post-editing of "Dark Forest" is proceeding in an intense and orderly manner, and it is going quite smoothly now.
Sun Daohao, who usually likes to drink tea, bought an expensive tea set.
For him, the most relaxing thing is to calm down and make a pot of tea and then taste it carefully.
In addition to the editing of "Dark Forest", what he is most concerned about now is the currently released "Kung Fu".
Sun Daohao often learns about "Kung Fu"-related reports on the Internet.
I just put down the water glass and started reading the news on my phone.
In this era, online reviews have a great impact on a movie’s box office performance.
There are many examples of niche films that have become popular due to the comments of netizens. Of course, there are also examples of big-budget films that have overturned due to online public opinion.
Son Do-ho had a smile on his face. The current trend on the Internet is very favorable for the box office performance of "Kung Fu", and almost all of them are praising the movie.
Putting down his mobile phone, Sun Daohao took a sip of tea. This tea was given to him by an old friend for many years.
As a top Chinese-language director, Son Do-ho naturally does not want American blockbusters to run rampant in the domestic market.
Every time an American blockbuster is released, he feels very uncomfortable.
But it is very helpless. As an audience, of course I like to watch high-quality movies. Although the quality of domestic movies has improved, there is still a big gap compared with these foreign blockbusters.
This time when he learned that "Up to the Sky" would be released during the May Day holiday, he thought that domestic films were about to fall into decline again.
If it weren't for the fact that his movie hadn't been completed yet, he would have gone up to compete with those foreigners.
But fortunately, "Kung Fu", a movie that was a disaster, saved the face of China Entertainment Film.
Sun Daohao took out his mobile phone and wanted to find someone to ask for Tan Yue's contact information and exchange knowledge about movies.
When he reached his position, he took a longer-term view, knew the gap between domestic films and foreign films, and never felt arrogant.
Progress can only be achieved through continuous learning.
Before the call was made, Sun Daohao put down the phone, feeling that something was missing from the conversation on the phone.
It's not appropriate to do this. The two of them have never met before, so the feeling of strangeness will be great.
Sun Daohao felt that he should get to know Tan Yue face to face if he had the opportunity.
He admires this young man very much. He can beat American blockbusters. He is also a new director who has only made four films. He will have great potential in the future.
Sun Daohao's wish is that one day Chinese films can go global, and now he seems to have seen hope. …
In the next few days, the single-day box office of "Kung Fu" basically stabilized at around 500 million, and it still topped the single-day box office.
Amid the heated discussion online, the cumulative box office has reached 5.7 billion.
"Oh my god! In just a few days, the box office of "Kung Fu" has already reached 5.7 billion."
"How many zeros must be behind it? If you give it to me, it should be enough for me to live out my life by eating and waiting to die every day."
"Brother, you have too little confidence in yourself. Not only can you use it for a lifetime, but your grandson can also use it for a lifetime."
"After so many days, the single-day box office of "Kung Fu" is still so high, and the momentum is too strong."
"I have a bold idea. Isn't this another one of the top three box-office movies in history?"
"Based on the current single-day box office performance, it is not impossible."
Bright Entertainment Company.
film department.
Wu Wenkang is an old employee who has worked in the film department for many years. His work attitude is serious and careful, and he has never made any mistakes.
When he felt thirsty and wanted to drink water, he realized that the cup was empty. He poured the tasteless tea leaves into the trash can, replaced them with new tea leaves, got up and went to the tea room.
"Brother Angkor, go get the water."
"When I get older, I like to drink some tea when I have nothing to do." Wu Wenkang replied with a smile.
"Brother Angkor, you seem to be in a good mood."
"Let's go out and have a smoke together later?"
"Have you had time to go out drinking recently?"
Everyone in the film department knows him, and he usually has a good relationship with everyone. When someone greets him, Wu Wenkang will respond with a smile.
There were not many people in the tea room, so Wu Wenkang quickly filled the water and returned to his work station with the thermos cup.
Just as he was about to continue working, he received a message on his phone.
"Old Wu, what have you been busy with recently?"
Wu Wenkang's face was full of confusion. It was the message from Qi Kai, the former vice president of the company.
Since Qi Kai left the company, the two of them had almost no contact. Now I don't know what the message is about.
I couldn't figure it out for a while, but I remembered that Qi Kai had taken good care of me before, so I replied the message.
"It's still the same job."
Qi Kai responded quickly.
"How come you still have the same job after such a long time?"
"I think it's a bit humiliating to work there with your ability. If I were still your leader, I would definitely let you be promoted to a position that matches your ability. Alas, what a pity."
"In this way, I am now the vice president of Huaguo Entertainment Company. If you follow me, I will give you double benefits and treatment, and you will be promoted in your position."
"Are you interested?"
Wu Wenkang replied without any hesitation: "Sorry, I have no plans to change jobs now."
Although the conditions given by Qi Kai were quite tempting, Wu Wenkang could still see the current situation clearly.
Cuican Entertainment Company is now the third first-class entertainment company in China, and it is no longer comparable to Huaguang Entertainment Company.
What's more important is that Bright Entertainment Company is still developing on an upward trend, and its future is completely different.
There are countless people outside who are trying to get in. It's not a joke to ask him to change jobs at this time. …
After working for so many years, under the leadership of Tan Yue, the film department has finally made great progress. The emergence of hit movies one after another, Huaguang Entertainment Company cannot match.
Wu Wenkang has witnessed the development of Bright Entertainment Company step by step, and it is even more impossible for him to leave.
Huaguang Entertainment Company.
Qi Kai threw his phone on the table angrily, not expecting Wu Wenkang to refuse so simply.
After securing the position of vice president, Qi Kai was ready to set up his own team and wanted to find a capable and trustworthy person to lead his team.
Qi Kai naturally thought of Wu Wenkang from Bright Entertainment Company.
If you can successfully recruit this person, you will be able to kill two birds with one stone.
Not only did he find the person, but he also disgusted Tan Yue.
That's why he offered Wu Wenkang such a generous salary, but he was still rejected.
"Alas" Qi Kai sighed helplessly, and his mood gradually calmed down. He thought too well and ignored the reality.
Bright Entertainment Company has released so many hit movies one after another, all of which are among the top ten in Chinese box office records. How could Wu Wenkang give up such a good future?
weekend.
Clear skies.
Tan Yue lay on the balcony to rest.
The cell phone on the table rang. It was Chen Ziyu calling.
"What are you doing?"
"The sun is so nice, let's get some sunshine."
"Let's go to the suburbs and play around. We'll be bored at home."
"OK."
Tan Yue thought that the two of them had not gone out for a long time. Although their identities were more likely to attract onlookers, there was no big problem if they were careful.
"Okay, you wait for me at home and I'll go find you." Chen Ziyu said happily.
Chen Ziyu was like Tan Yue at home, lying on the balcony to bask in the sun, but she felt uncomfortable no matter how much she lay down, and wanted to go out for a walk.
If Tan Yue didn't agree to go out, she would come to Tan Yue's place. It would be nice to watch an old movie together.
"I'll start cleaning up now."
After putting down his mobile phone, Tan Yue came to the warehouse wearing slippers and rummaged for a long time before finding a dining table and small chairs for outings.
After putting them all in the car, go to the kitchen and prepare some portable pastries.
While Tan Yue was changing clothes, Chen Ziyu arrived wearing casual clothes.
Because it was a temporary decision, Chen Ziyu started putting on makeup after hanging up the phone.
Tan Yue said: "You take the pastries on the dining table in the living room, and I'll get some water. The other things have been packed away. Take a look to see if there's anything you haven't brought."
"Okay." Chen Ziyu carried the cakes to the garage to make sure nothing was left behind.
Tan Yue also came to the garage wearing casual clothes and said, "Didn't you leave anything behind?"
Chen Ziyu had already sat in the passenger seat and said happily: "Everything is ready, let's set off."
A car slowly drove out of the community and headed to the suburbs of Beijing.
There were many vehicles on the road on weekends. Listening to the music, Tan Yue drove carefully.
After leaving the city, there was much less traffic on the road, and Chen Ziyu also opened the window.
Breeze blowing, looking at the willow trees on both sides of the road, stretching: "It's still comfortable outside."
Tan Yue felt a little apologetic because because of his status, he couldn't just hang out like others.
Chen Ziyu saw Tan Yue's thoughts and said with a smile: "Actually, it is precisely because we don't go out often that we now feel that the scenery outside is good. This is quite good."
There were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road. Tan Yue was already driving very slowly, and it was very nice to feel the scenery on the road.
Unknowingly, the two people arrived at their destination.
Seeing the occasional people passing by for fun, Tan drove farther and found a place where there was no one.
After getting off the car, the two people took the small dining table, small bench and food out of the car.
I found a relatively flat place near the vehicle and sat down.
Admiring the scenery not far away that they had not seen for a long time, the two people who had been busy at work finally relaxed.
The two of them were eating and chatting.
The sky is blue, the people are nice, and my heart is very peaceful.
