Chapter 162 161. "Those Years" temporarily ranks as the annual box office champion

After finishing work on the evening of September 3, Wei Wu took Liu Tianxian, Yang Mi and Chen Kuai to fly back to Yanjing to prepare for the celebration banquet of "Those Years" the next day.

As for Chen Kun, Fan Bingbing, Zhao Wenzhuo and others, they did not return to Yanjing with them this time, but continued to film in Yinchuan.

Although Wei Wu will not be here tomorrow, assistant director Lu Yang can temporarily take his place and shoot some less important scenes.

As for some staff members of "Those Years", if they don't hold such important positions in the "Painted Skin" crew and are willing to go back and forth, they will go back with them to attend the celebration banquet.

If they were in a key position, they would not participate for now, but Wei Wu would definitely still give them the red envelopes, and even give them a little more as compensation.

The reason why Wei Wu and the others asked for leave, delaying the filming progress of "Painted Skin" and having to go back to have a celebration banquet, was not because he was so happy about his success. To put it bluntly, it was for publicity!

As for publicity, of course we have to strike while the iron is hot.

"Those Years" has just been released and the popularity and attention have not completely dissipated, and you should seize the time to promote it. Otherwise, the timeliness will be exceeded and the effect will not be so good.

And more importantly, the movie "Those Years" is about to be released in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Taking advantage of the celebration party to promote it vigorously will also have certain benefits for the subsequent opening of the film in Hong Kong and Taiwan!

By the time they got off the plane and returned home, it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Although the journey was tiring, Liu Tianxian still had a little excitement in the evening:

"I still can't believe it. The movie starring me can actually get 110.23 million at the box office. This is simply a miracle!

"Wei Wu, why don't you hit me and see if I'm dreaming!"

"Those Years" will be released on July 1st and will be officially released in all mainland theaters on August 31st. After two months of release, the final box office was RMB 110.23 million, temporarily ranking first in the mainland's annual box office rankings in 2006.

Originally, Wei Wu expected that the final box office of this movie would be around 100 million, barely scraping the line.

But later on, the movie made the novel of the same name popular, and the novel became so popular that it sold hundreds of thousands of copies every month, which slightly helped the movie's box office.

Therefore, the box office of this movie bucked the trend and increased by several million in early to mid-August, and finally climbed to 110 million.

Well, in fact, before Wei Wu and the others held their celebration banquet, or to be precise, the day after the movie was officially released, many media outlets had already spontaneously reported on the box office results, praising Wei Wu severely. And the box office results of "Those Years"!

After all, there is a new box office champion movie of the year, how can the major media not rush to report on it?

"Okay." Wei Wu shook his head without hesitation, flicked his wrist and moved his body.

Then he took a deep breath, rounded his right arm with all his strength, and aimed at Liu Tianxian's face with a thunder blow——

Liu Tianxian was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly took two steps back. He glared at him fiercely and said:

"Are you sick? Do you want to beat me to death?"

Wei Wu laughed loudly and pretended to be stupid: "Didn't you ask me to hit you to see if you were dreaming?"

Liu Tianxian was too lazy to pay attention to him, rolled his eyes and said:

"nerve!"

However, such an episode did not affect Liu Tianxian's good mood. She still said happily:

"Wei Wu, from now on I will have my own masterpiece, and it will also be a masterpiece with a box office of 100 million yuan! I should be considered as single-handedly responsible for the box office of our movie, right?"

Wei Wu sneered and said: "Yeah. Anyway, you are a star. If you don't count the box office, who else can you count?

"But let me tell you something, isn't the reason why the box office of this movie is so high mainly depends on me?

"Your contribution should account for at most 20%! I must account for at least 60%, and then the publicity effect of those few songs can account for 20%, and the rest can be ignored."

After hearing what he said, Liu Tianxian not only did not argue for himself, but also said happily:

"Two achievements are already very high! If an actor can contribute 20% of the film's box office, it is already a real deal and has great box office appeal!"

Of course Wei Wu couldn't let her get too carried away, so he nodded at her and said:

“You’ve only made this movie popular, so it’s too early to talk about box office appeal!

You need at least one more big box office hit, or two small box office hits, in which you star and are successful, in order to be considered to have box office appeal! "

Liu Tianxian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but our "Painted Skin" should be a box office hit, right?"

Liu Tianxian is basically at the top of the TV drama field now, and it can be said that he has no desires or desires. Now she is looking forward to establishing a firm foothold in the film field and becoming a movie star with box office appeal.

Wei Wu shook his head and said: "It will definitely explode, and the box office is expected to be no less than 200 million!

But after all, this movie is a big investment, and the leading actors are all big stars, not to mention the blessing of me, a new billionaire director——

“Even if it’s really a hit at the box office, to be honest, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a lot of credit.”

Liu Tianxian nodded slightly disappointedly and said, "It seems so!"

Wei Wu continued to give advice: "If you want to prove your box office appeal, acting in a blockbuster movie is actually not a good choice.

“On the contrary, it’s a low-cost project, and the cast lineup isn’t that strong, so you’re the biggest one.

"And it has to be a movie with a leading female protagonist, which means your role must be very important, just like ours in "Those Years."

"If movies of this type achieve box office success one after another, then the industry and audiences will naturally recognize your box office appeal."

Liu Tianxian sighed and said: "Oh, how can it be so easy to find a movie like this? There are too many monks and too little meat to make enough! Even if there is such a script, people may not look for me!"

"Without you, not even "Those Years" would have been in my hands."

Wei Wu comforted him: "It doesn't matter. You are still so young. Why are you so anxious? It can be said that you are already far ahead among actresses of the same age! Others can hardly even see your taillights now!"

"What you have to do now is to hone your acting skills. Otherwise, even if you have such an opportunity, your current acting skills are not enough to support a high-quality movie! Of course, your box office appeal is even less!

"Take your time! If someone else submits a good script in the future, I will help you keep an eye on it!"

Liu Tianxian followed suit: "Yeah, then I will definitely work harder to hone my acting skills!"

To be honest, Wei Wu doesn't have a script for the heroine now, but he can't give it to Liu Tianxian right now. After all, he has to take a longer-term view.

First of all, from a personal level, of course he can be nicer to Liu Tianxian, but he shouldn't give too many resources.

Otherwise, the other successors will ask him not to favor one over the other, so what should he do?

Secondly, from the company's perspective, Liu Tianxian is already popular enough. If too many resources are invested in her, the price/performance ratio is not high.

Moreover, it is not a good thing for a brokerage company to be dominated by one person, and it is even worse if this person is also the boss's wife.

Because this will block the promotion channels of other colleagues in the company, which will not only make other actresses lose their ambition, but also make them want to leave.

Therefore, if the next big-budget film and television drama is produced, Wei Wu will definitely not give the heroine to Liu Tianxian anymore, but will probably give it to Yang Mi or Fan Bingbing, or a newcomer who is highly promoted by other companies.

After all, Liu Tianxian is now popular enough that she can go outside to get resources, Wei Wu can help her choose scripts, and she can also exchange resources with other companies when necessary.

On the other hand, if we look at the other potential new stars in the company who have not yet made their fortune, if Wei Wu doesn't give them a hand, then they will have absolutely nothing to film, especially the heroine's film.

After all, if you want to raise the share price of Wei Guo Group, Liu Tianxian alone cannot do it. No matter how popular it is, it is impossible for a single tree to grow into a forest.

Moreover, if a company has only one top star, it will be regarded as too risky and will be interpreted by the market as a bad signal, which will lower the valuation.

Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, Wei Wu had to think twice about feeding resources and could not let go easily.
