Who are you calling powerful?

At the beginning of March, "The Wandering Earth" was released for nearly 28 days and broke the 5 billion box office mark, becoming the second Chinese-language film after "Wolf Warrior 2" to have a box office of more than 5 billion.

Director Guo Fan became famous in one battle, and Wu Jing was even hailed as the star of two 5 billion+ movies.

Boss Wei has finally met his opponent after so many years in the film industry, and the title of "Box Office King" is in jeopardy.

However, Wu Jing himself is very humble. When he accepted the CCTV Six Princesses, he said that he was just lucky.

"The success of "Wolf Warrior 2" is multifaceted and has a lot of contingency. It was created by the times and all the audiences."

"And the excellence of "The Wandering Earth" is the movie itself. If someone else plays Liu Peiqiang, the box office will still be so much. I just happened to play a movie that is destined to be a hit."

"..."

This statement makes sense, but it is also a bit biased.

The success of these two movies cannot be attributed to Wu Jing, but he did play a very important role.

Let alone "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth" was mainly promoted by him in the early stage. Even though the word-of-mouth explosion later, a considerable number of audiences came for him.

Although Wu Jing is "hated to the bone" by many people, his box office appeal and audience appeal are definitely the first echelon of the current Chinese film industry, which is indisputable.

"The Wandering Earth" is still being released, but its stamina is already very weak.

Even if it weren't for the various resources invested by Blue Whale and the crew's efforts to break through the 5 billion mark in one breath and finally hold it up, I'm afraid it would have lost its momentum in the past few days.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the spirit can't be stabilized. The benefits are not proportional, and it is a pure waste to invest resources again.

Therefore, it is estimated that there will be 100 to 200 million in the future, or maybe a little more, and "The Wandering Earth" should be finished.

Considering this situation, Blue Whale simply didn't wait for "The Wandering Earth" to be released, and took advantage of the popularity of the movie breaking through 5 billion to hold a celebration party in Shanghai.

Boss Wei, who had not yet joined the crew of "Do You Know?", showed up in person, took directors Guo Fan and Wu Jing, and the three of them smashed the ice sculpture symbolizing [5 billion].

And this photo was quickly taken by Blue Whale and posted on the Internet and the company's official website.

At the same time, we did not forget to @the photo of the celebration banquet when "Wolf Warrior 2" was released that year, and Wei Yang and Wu Jing were still there.

Since the rise of the Chinese-language film market, there have been only two celebration banquets of 5 billion, and the main venue was Blue Whale.

What's more, there were also four celebration banquets of 3 billion, namely "The Mermaid", "Operation Red Sea", "Dying to Survive" and "Detective Chinatown", all of which were hosted by Blue Whale, and Boss Wei was also in the C position of knocking the ice.

Some netizens put these photos together, and the bottom one is the photo of him being elected as the chairman of the Film Association.

It is said that Boss Wei is not the half of the Chinese film industry, but the Megatron of Chinese films...

At this time, Wei Megatron Yang was in a good mood.

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" is higher than that of the previous life, breaking through the 5 billion mark in one fell swoop, proving the positive role of Blue Whale in promoting.

At the same time, the box office share of the movie, plus other miscellaneous income, will definitely exceed 2 billion.

Not only did Blue Whale make a lot of money, but the various soft benefits brought by "The Wandering Earth" are countless.

Just before the celebration banquet, Wei Yang had just accompanied the cabinet and the heads of relevant units to visit the film industrial park in Dao City. Today's celebration banquet also had the high-level officials in charge of the Magic City personally present to congratulate.

Wei Yang came down from the stage and was mainly dealing with these people.

Fortunately, their identities were special and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. They talked for a while, made their meanings clear, and left. Wei Yang personally sent them to the door before returning to the banquet hall.

Just now, there were leaders present, so it was inconvenient to disturb them, and no one dared to come over without paying attention, but now Boss Wei is alone, and many people came up to talk to him.

"Boss Wei, you can't favor one over the other. When will the celebration party for Xiao Han's "Flying Life" be held?"

Lao Wang of Guangguang pulled Han Han over to tease him. As mentioned earlier, there are two movies that Blue Whale participated in during the Spring Festival this year.

"The Wandering Earth" is the main producer, and "Flying Life" is co-invested with Bona. Putting aside Han Han's own company, it is the second largest producer.

"The Wandering Earth" is undoubtedly the big winner during the Spring Festival this year, but in fact, the performance of "Flying Life" is also quite good.

With the support of Blue Whale and Bona, the two movies have even been linked to a certain extent, giving each other popularity. At present, the box office of this movie has once approached 2 billion.

Shen Teng, who starred in this movie, plus the box office of another starring movie "Crazy Alien" released at the same time, was promoted to "Mr. Billion Box Office" during this Spring Festival with Huang Bo and Wu Jing.

It's a pity that only Shen Teng came to show his support today, and Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang didn't come.

Otherwise, if Wei Yang and the others took a photo together, they would be the most prestigious "Fifteen Billion Box Office Actor" in the Chinese film industry.

"Haha, Mr. Xia and his team are already making arrangements. They want to see if "Speeding Life" has a chance to break through 2 billion, so that the celebration banquet will be more exciting."

Although it is not as good as "The Wandering Earth", the box office data of "Speeding Life" is still very impressive and deserves a celebration banquet.

However, Wei Yang did not specify whether he would come to the celebration banquet of "Speeding Life" at that time.

Boss Wei is usually very busy, and not all projects can invite Boss Wei to the celebration banquet.

It was OK in the past few years, but in the past two years, as Boss Wei's wealth has become richer and Blue Whale has become larger, Wei Yang has not shown up at the celebration banquets for movies with a box office of more than 1 billion yuan.

Even Blue Whale may not hold celebration banquets for movies of this box office level now.

Projects with a box office of more than 1.5 billion yuan and more than 2 billion yuan are definitely better, but whether Wei Yang comes or not depends on the schedule and the specific situation of the project.

For example, Wei Yang did not attend the celebration banquets for movies such as "The Shameful Iron Fist", "Ex-Files 3" and "A Good Show" for some reason.

Only projects with a box office of more than 3 billion yuan have Boss Wei never missed so far, and he will take time out to attend no matter how busy he is.

This is the case with movies, and it is similar for variety shows and TV series and web dramas, except that movies look at box office, while they look at income such as sponsorship advertising fees and copyright fees.

It seems to be more realistic and utilitarian, but it is also "fair" in a sense.

Whoever does a good job and creates more profits for the company will be supported by the boss, who will be in the limelight and have the highest emotional value.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as dramas and variety shows that specialize in word-of-mouth such as "Undocumented Crime" and "National Treasure".

Even if they don't make much money, but bring other benefits to the company and the platform, Wei Yang will go to show his support when he has time.

And Boss Wei personally came to congratulate, not only for face, but also for other benefits, such as he would promise a certain amount of resources to some of the main creators he admires, and sometimes he would give big red envelopes and expensive gifts, which is an alternative reward for merit.

Last time, he gave Wu Jing a big red envelope for "Wolf Warrior 2". This time, Guo Fan is a great contributor to "The Wandering Earth", and Boss Wei is also ready to give him a surprise.

Although Guo Fan was not treated unfairly in the director's fee for "The Wandering Earth", Boss Wei made more than a billion after all, and he still had to win over this great contributor.

He also expected Guo Fan to shoot "The Wandering Earth 2" for him. What if he didn't give him enough sweetness and was abducted?

So, when Wei Yang found out that Guo Fan's current house was not big and he was still paying off the mortgage, he asked the property management company under his name and gave him a high-quality Shanghai house that he had not sold yet.

Director Guo just heard the news that Wei Yang arranged for him to transfer the house tomorrow, and he has not recovered yet.

Although he knew that Boss Wei was famous for his generosity, a Shanghai house with a good location, supporting facilities and area still stunned Director Guo.

Even Wu Jing felt a little jealous after knowing this.

Although the amount of red envelopes Wei Yang gave him last time for "Wolf Warrior 2" was not inferior to the value of this house, for some reason, he just felt that it was not as good as Guo Fan.

…

Although he was unlikely to attend the celebration banquet for "Speeding Life", he made a lot of money for him after all, so Boss Wei still pulled Han Han to chat for a while.

Being a boss is like being a scumbag!

You can't ignore another wife just because this wife is beautiful and capable and has a good child.

She is your wife, and she is pretty, and she has raised your child well. Even if you have different levels of importance in your heart, you still need to coax her on the surface.

Not only coax her, but also PUA her, so that she knows that if she wants to win Wei Yang's favor, she must work hard in the future, become beautiful and capable, and raise a good child.

To be honest, Boss Wei treats these people with more heart than Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying...

Han Han is a smart man, and it is difficult to PUA him with ordinary routines.

But Boss Wei is more skilled and experienced, and he has one trick after another, and Han Han himself has some mental problems.

He is indeed a little depressed during this Spring Festival. "Flying Life" won his best director performance, and its reputation is better than the original hit "Crazy Alien".

I thought it was the moment when he stepped into the peak of the industry, but the limelight was completely snatched by "The Wandering Earth".

Whether it is from the box office results, word-of-mouth reviews, film concept, industry breakthrough and other meanings behind it, "The Wandering Earth" has comprehensively beaten "Flying Life".

Moreover, because Wei Yang did not participate in "The Wandering Earth" and did not participate too much in it, director Guo Fan became a very rare director who was able to get rid of the shadow of Wei Yang's influence by supporting newcomers.

Among the many directors that Wei Yang had worked with before, only Yan Fei and Peng Damo had made it with Happy Twist.

Others such as Wen Muye and Xu Zheng are still proving that they can still be successful without Wei Yang.

This also makes the various honors that Guo Fan received in "The Wandering Earth" particularly valuable.

There is no doubt that in this "performance" that Guo Fan became a god, the genius director Ning Hao, the comedy king Xing Ye, and the new famous director Han Han, all became supporting roles and foils.

This is something Han Han cannot accept. Although he doesn't talk much, he is actually very crazy in his heart.

He may not be convinced by Wei Yang, let alone Guo Fan. Even if he is convinced, he is only convinced by his achievements in the film industry. He is not convinced by the profession of director itself.

So, at this time, Wei Yang's PUA can be regarded as scratching his itch. Han Han didn't say it, but he was already thinking about it in his heart.

Boss Wei is such a smart guy. He turned around and pulled Guo Fan to remind him worriedly.

Han Han is going to take him in. "The Wandering Earth 2" should be released as soon as possible, otherwise it will be destroyed by others.

It's embarrassing to be overtaken by the defeated opponent!

As a scumbag, he must not only be proficient in PUA, but also learn to be a green tea, sow discord, and profit from the fishermen. These are all common operations...

Of course, those who P others will also be P. Wei Yang is fooling others, and there are others who are thinking about fooling him.

"Director Wu, what is this?"

Wu Ershan has a beard but wears earrings, which makes him look both masculine and feminine. Wei Yang subconsciously leans slightly to the side, which is a psychological action with a certain sense of defense.

"Boss Wei, this is the main creator of our "Fengshen" crew, Na Ran, who plays Daji, Yu Shi, who plays Ji Fa, Chen Muchi, who plays Yin Shou, Ci Sha, who plays Yang Jian..."

Wei Yang was not surprised to see Wu Ershan and the "Fengshen" crew in "The Wandering Earth".

Because both groups were filmed at the film and television base in Dao City, which has the most advanced studios, indoor and outdoor real-scene bases, digital audio-visual centers, etc. in China.

In the past two years, many Chinese special effects blockbusters have been filmed there, including the above two, "The Great Wall", "Crazy Alien", "A Good Show", etc.

"Fengshen" and "The Wandering Earth" were produced at the same time, so they often visited each other and had a good relationship.

When "Fengshen" was released in the previous life, the behind-the-scenes footage of Wu Jing and Guo Fan's visit to the set was used to attract attention.

Now that "The Wandering Earth" is a big hit, Wuershan also brought the crew to congratulate.

Although Wei Yang was not interested in him, Wuershan was very humble. Boss Wei always advocated not to hit a smiling person, so he stopped and chatted with him for a few words.

As for introducing his actors, he didn't take it seriously. In such social occasions, many people brought people to show their faces in front of him.

However, it must be said that Wuershan is quite particular about this.

Under normal circumstances, when bringing people to show their faces, one or two people are brought to show their faces, highlighting the key points. If there are too many people, the boss will not only be annoyed but also unable to remember.

Wuershan brought all the people with him. Whether it was for the purpose of maintaining unity or other purposes, he was still very kind to these newcomers.

"Is this girl a Uyghur?"

Wei Yang glanced at Naran, who played Daji. She was indeed quite pretty, but it would be a bit too much to say that she was more beautiful than Naza or beat Rouba.

"She is a mixed-race, her father is Russian and her mother is Mongolian."

"Oh, Director Wu is from the same hometown."

Wei Yang seemed to be interested, and asked about other actors one by one. Ji Fa is Mongolian in Yushi, Yang Jian is Yi in Cisha, Deng Chanyu is Mongolian... Among the few brought today, only Chen Muchi is Han, and he is from Xinjiang Province.

"Director Wu likes fellow villagers and ethnic minority actors very much?"

Wu Ershan didn't expect Wei Yang to pay attention to this, and was a little stunned, but soon his face did not change.

"These actors have relatively fewer opportunities, I have the ability to help more."

"Oh, so that's the case."

Wei Yang's smile disappeared, and he looked at Wu Ershan deeply, responded with a few words, and turned away.

Wu Ershan clearly felt that Wei Yang's attitude had turned cold, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

He came here not only to congratulate "The Wandering Earth". The cost of the "Investiture of the Gods" trilogy was too high, and now the stall is a bit too small to roll out. He originally thought that he could contact Boss Wei this time and fool some investment.

As a result, before he could even open his mouth, Wei Yang hit the nail on the head in two or three sentences. Thinking of Boss Wei's questions and eyes just now, his tongue was a little numb now.

It was obvious that Boss Wei had already had an opinion of him now. How could he contact him to seek investment?

At this time, Wei Yang, who had already walked to the other side, saw Wu Ershan and others, and snorted softly.

Wei Yang himself did not have any messy ideas, otherwise he would not have reused the two beauties in Xinjiang Province. Liu Shishi and Wu Jing were not Han people, so he would still do what he wanted.

But Boss Wei had no prejudice, and would not tolerate others putting prejudice on him.

No matter how good and profitable "Fengshen" was, he would not cooperate with people like Wu Ershan.

Besides, this project was also precarious. Just seeing the bunch just now, there were several collapsed houses.

Especially that Yu Shi, what big sister, big brother, second sister, second brother, third sister, fourth sister, played more than when he was young.

Apart from the issues of principle, he just didn't want to live in fear every day. The little money he earned was not enough to buy medicine to treat high blood pressure and heart disease...
