China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 193 Will the crown last long?

"The title of film history champion is not something that everyone can achieve. You deserve it, and good movies must get good box office. From now on, you will be the number one commercial director in our country... No, no, the more daily limit, the more pressure I feel

The bigger it gets, now the film and television industry

You are as hot as if you are sitting on money... Director Chen, your new movie is kept secret, and you don't leak a word?... I understand, the script is the basis of a play, and it really needs to be polished. Now

The audience’s quality requirements for movies are indeed getting higher and higher..."

Chen Jingxing finally hung up the phone. He had received too many congratulatory calls in the past few days, but all of them were relatively big, so he had to deal with them. The person who just called was the boss of Tianrun Pictures, and his tone was friendly and familiar.

, as if the two of them had a good friendship.

Although Tianrun and United Cinemas are still shareholders of DreamWorks, in fact, since the "Gravity" project has not been negotiated, and Chen Jingxing is engaged in animation and investing in Station C through credit financing, several shareholders of DreamWorks have no interest in the project.

There are opinions on this, but Huanshi.com and Penguin Video have remained silent.

Tianrun and United Cinemas reacted more strongly.

Therefore, the relationship between the two parties was not as close as it was during the filming of "Signal" and "Source Code", and certain cracks appeared.

The box office of "Source Code" changed everything. If there was not enough progress before, then after "Source Code" created a record in film history, the bosses of the two major shareholders got enough opportunities to use congratulations to make up for the shortcomings of both parties.

crack.

After Chen Jingxing drank a glass of water, he began to deal with the documents piled up in front of him, as well as Xu Wenshen who had been waiting for a long time on the opposite side.

As the release of "Source Code" comes to an end, DreamWorks' organizational structure has also begun a large-scale adjustment. It not only requires a large number of recruitments and department expansion, including the expansion of subsidiary Mo, but also includes many personnel changes. For example, Xu Wenshen will

Become the president of DreamWorks, and Chen Jingxing will become the chairman - of course, as a non-listed company, the board of directors to be established by DreamWorks is very simple. There are only 5 people including Chen Jingxing and 4 shareholders, and there is no need to set up independent directors.

In fact, Chen Jingxing handed over the power of daily operations of DreamWorks to Xu Wenshen because he believed that Xu Wenshen had such abilities and could shoulder such responsibilities.

For Xu Wenshen, this is basically the most glorious moment of his career. When he was at Tianrun Pictures, he was just a project producer. Unexpectedly, after being kicked out by Tianrun, he would become DreamWorks in less than two years.

CEO, DreamWorks is currently the brightest star in the film and television industry. It may not be as big as Tianrun Pictures, but its influence on the industry is no less than it. Just look at the so-called "Dream Concept Stocks" in the past month.

You can tell from the collective surge in film and television stocks.

Xu Wenshen, who was proud of the spring breeze and was anxious, watched Chen Jingxing start to approve the documents and said: "Boss, Mr. Zheng of the Propaganda Department has proposed a plan, saying that he wants to plan another celebration banquet."

Of course, this is not just a transfer of power, but also involves great interests. When Xu Wenshen becomes president, he will also receive a certain amount of allotment of shares and subscription shares - if DreamWorks can be listed in the future.

However, Chen Jingxing still feels that the reaction from the outside world, especially the capital market, to "Source Code" being the number one box office hit in film history is extremely abnormal.

Does the title of No. 1 in film history really have such a big effect?

Chen Jingxing actually didn't pay much attention to this title before, but now it seems that he has greatly underestimated its symbolic significance. After all, in the off-season of April and May, two consecutive movies have set box office records in film history. This is simply a blow to capital.

The clarion call to enter the film and television industry.

I'm afraid that the explosion is not far away now. At this time, he felt a little lucky that DreamWorks has not yet been listed on the market. Chen Jingxing thought happily while reading the documents.

And he remembered that there was a stock market crash in 2015 in his previous life.

Because he discovered that the A-share market had reached more than 5,000 points. Although he was not a stock investor in his previous life, he still knew the reputation of large A-shares. A market price of more than 5,000 points was definitely not normal for A-shares.

Xu Wenshen seemed to agree with this proposal: "Break the box office record for the first place in Chinese film history? This is of much greater significance than other celebration banquets. In fact, this was the first proposal of Huanshi.com, and they also want to use this to do it."

A celebrity night and live broadcast on the Internet can also be regarded as a way to expand influence and integrate resources."

That’s why film and television concept stocks collectively soared.

Faced with Xu Wenshen's doubts, Chen Jingxing confessed straightforwardly: "I don't think our record as the number one box office in film history will last for a few months. I don't want to end up like "Young Avengers" and be laughed at on the Internet."

Some people in the industry may think that the special attributes of "Young Avengers" and "Source Code" can achieve such achievements, such as hype, special effects blockbusters or movie quality, but there will definitely be many people, especially lay capital, who will have a

There is a feeling that times create heroes, the film market has developed by leaps and bounds, and then I feel that I can do whatever I want.

"I refuse." Chen Jingxing replied without hesitation: "Whatever celebrity night Huanshi.com wants to organize, let him organize it himself. Don't let them use our name, especially the Hua Kingdom."

Titles like No. 1 in box office in film history."

"Celebration banquet? Hasn't it already been held?" Chen Jingxing was a little confused.

The real reason why Chen Jingxing doesn't care about the title of No. 1 in film history is that he thinks that this throne will be kicked down even if the buttocks are not warm. To be honest, he wants the media and marketing accounts to keep a low profile and not to speculate on any movies or TV shows.

Recorded.

In the phone call just now, Mr. Wu of Tianrun Pictures also mentioned that he had called Xu Wenshen before to congratulate him on his promotion, which is equivalent to Tianrun bowing his head first.

Before this, the two of them were kings and kings. In terms of business, Tianrun's film investment director had been in contact with Xu Wenshen and took the initiative to bow his head to the scapegoat who had never paid attention to him. Mr. Wu of Tianrun was sure in his heart

It didn't feel good, I guess it took a few days to calm down before I called Chen Jingxing to relent.

He has already held a celebration party for a box office of over 1.5 billion, but now it is less than 2 billion, what can be done? In fact, even if the box office exceeds 2 billion, he does not want to hold it again.

"How many months?"

Although I admire the accuracy of Chen Jingxing's prediction at the premiere of "Source Code", 1.9 billion can only be maintained for a few months, which is still beyond Xu Wenshen's imagination. He knows that the Chinese film market is growing rapidly, but the box office record in film history is

Is it a bit exaggerated to refresh three times in a row in one year?

"Well, "Legion of Super Heroes" will be released soon in June. How many years has Warner prepared for this project? There is also "Monster Hunt" in the summer. If the box office of these two movies finally exceeded 2 billion,

I don’t find it strange at all.”

When Xu Wenshen was stunned, Chen Jingxing added: "Do you have A-shares in your hands? If so, listen to my advice and sell them quickly."
