NOVEL FROG Chapter 40
Li Zhiming doubted his ears for a moment,"How much?"
Wang Zhan said slowly, word by word,"Twenty-one and a half."
Li Zhiming's pupils trembled,"2.12 billion?"
"Yes"
"Was that correct?"
"No, the secretary said, he called the box office statistics department to verify."
Li Zhiming pursed his lips, his face calm, and nodded.
But his heart was in turmoil!
2.12 billion?!
The Spring Festival record, or twice the national record.
How is this possible?
No, he had to confirm it himself.
"Excuse me, I have something to do, you guys chat."
He smiled and stood up, walked to the courtyard, and called the deputy director of the Film Bureau.
If it was really 2.12 billion, this matter would definitely reach the ears of the Film Bureau.
"Good evening, Director Li."
"Director Zhao, have you heard about the box office of Titanic?"
The other party paused for a while and continued,"Well, we are discussing this matter in our work group. It is really unbelievable that the single-day box office record of a movie was doubled! Because of this movie, the single-day total box office record was also refreshed!" The voice on the phone trembled slightly, as if suppressing excitement.
Li Zhiming took a breath.
It was actually true
"I understand, thank you."
He hung up the phone and slowly turned his head to look at the box.
Perhaps, I still underestimated this young man.
He will become a great man in the future!
Li Zhiming's eyes were full of shock.
The first time he watched this work, he knew that this film was well made.
But he didn't expect that the market acceptance would be so outrageous.
More than 2 billion box office a day.
This shows that the film has a very wide audience and the content touches on human nature.
This young man has a very high attainment in psychology and thought, and has a very accurate grasp of the public psychology.
He must be kept for this promotional video!
It's just a pity that he doesn't understand opera.
But it doesn't matter, let him join the screenwriter team and provide creative and revision suggestions to the main screenwriter.
He can even be an assistant screenwriter.
This will definitely improve the quality of the script!
That's it.
He nodded slightly, put away his thoughts, and walked towards the private room.
After walking two steps, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
Since becoming the director, his mentality has been very stable.
Unexpectedly, he would be shocked to this extent by a young man in his early twenties today. It
's really scary to be young.
However, with such attainments at the age of 23, he is indeed worthy of his special attention.
……
At the same time, the news that"Titanic" had a box office of 2.12 billion on the first day set off a huge wave on the Internet, in the film and television industry, and in the jewelry industry.
In a villa in the Royal Garden Villa District in the capital.
Zhang Jianhua walked around the living room excitedly, holding his mobile phone with trembling hands.
2.12 billion?!
This advertisement can go down in history, right?
He put down his phone and took a deep breath.
Chen Xiao, that little guy, was dull when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would have such strong abilities now.
No, he has to post on WeChat Moments!!!
He hasn't posted this for two or three years.
But now, he is so excited that he is about to fly to the sky!
Low-key?
How to be low-key?
If it was 800 million, 900 million, or even 1 billion, he could still restrain himself.
Directly double the box office record.
As an investor and as Chen Xiao's uncle, he can't be low-key at all!
The world is full of news about"Titanic", why should he be low-key
……
At the same time, Zheng Guanglei, who was also a member of Jiahe Diamond
, had just returned from abroad. He had just finished watching a movie and was sitting in a Bentley luxury car on his way home.
He was full of joy, closed the first-day box office file, and called the chairman.
As soon as the call was connected, he spoke directly:"I saw the data, Chen Xiao did a great job! Did you give him the shares?"
"Yes, I gave it. The box office data is indeed very good."
Zheng Guanglei frowned slightly as he listened to the slightly frustrated tone on the phone.
This is a great thing for Jiahe, right?
What happened to him?
"You seem a little sad, what happened? Do you need my help?"
""No, haha."
The chairman said with a wry smile.
He was in two completely different situations right now. He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was happy that the company's advertisements were a big hit and he could get a share of the box office.
He wanted to cry because there was once an opportunity for full investment in front of him, but he didn't want it!
He just gave up 65% of the investment.
According to today's situation, it is conservatively estimated that the final box office will be 60 to 70 billion. Let
's just calculate it as 6 billion.
If he had invested all the money at that time, the company would have received 1.68 billion in box office share.
But now... because of the advertising, the company's share is lower, only 30%, which is just over 500 million.
How can he be happy after losing 1 billion in vain?
He sighed and simply stated his thoughts.
Zheng Guanglei is his predecessor, so it's nothing to tell him.
Hearing this, Zheng Guanglei laughed and said,"Haha, we are a jewelry company, why are you greedy for the box office? It's ours, it's ours. Now the advertising effect is far beyond expectations, and that's enough"
"Yeah." The chairman nodded and sighed.
That's right.
As expected of Senior Zheng, he is really open-minded.
……
Some people can take it easy.
Some people can only drink in silence.
Vice President Li sat at home, poured out half a glass of red wine, and drank it in one gulp.
Oh, he was so jealous that he was going to be deformed.
He used to be on an equal footing with Zhang Jianhua.
He was also counting on taking over the position of president after the president retired next year.
Now it seems that there is no hope.
Not only in terms of contributions to the company, but also in personal financial resources, he has lost miserably.
Originally, they had similar backgrounds.
Lao Zhang must have made several hundred million from this investment, right?
Haha, that's several decades of salary.
They are not from the same class anymore, right? What's the point of comparing!
Thinking of this, Vice President Li stood up, walked drunkenly to the wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of white wine.
How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang.
……
Vice President Li is upset, but there are people who are even more upset than him
"Cai Ji, you rubbish, don't contact me again in the future."
A hoarse female voice roared from the phone, followed by a series of beeps.
Cai Ji smiled bitterly and slowly put down the phone.
The one who just yelled at him was Senior Liu, who was originally scheduled to play the role of the elderly Ruth.
Senior Liu scolded him, and he really had to endure it.
Because Senior Liu quit the crew after listening to his complaints. Now that the movie is so popular, Ge Ya, who used to play a supporting role for him, plays this role, and her value has skyrocketed. He was so angry that he almost went to the hospital.
Alas, he regretted it too.
It is said on the Internet that"Titanic" may sweep all major awards at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
If he hadn't withdrawn, the photography award would probably have been his.
Oh...
I was so impulsive.
When I left, I gave Director Chen a cold shoulder. When I went out, I met a reporter and let it slip that he called Chen Xiao a brat.
How could I have the face to go out and shoot a film this year?
Otherwise, I should apologize to Chen Xiao.
Cai Ji picked up his phone, hesitated for a moment, and threw it aside.
Forget it.
He is already in his forties, how can he bring himself to do this? Forget it.
Just when some people in the film and television industry and the jewelry industry were happy and some were sad.
The Internet was like a holiday, with celebrations everywhere.
