Chapter 646 I Will Keep Watching
Tianjing Entertainment Company.
President's Office.
Qin Da, dressed in formal attire and sitting in the boss chair, showed a satisfied smile.
The cumulative box office of "Arms 2" has reached 3.97 billion. There is still some time before it is released. It is easy to break the 4 billion mark.
Now the cumulative box office of "Arms 2" can be said to have completely exceeded Qin Da's psychological expectations.
Unlike "Arms 2", "Arms 1" has earned more than 2 billion box office despite the financial difficulties.
Although "Arms 2" has received strong support from the company, the total investment amount is much higher, and the cast is also stronger.
But Qin Da was not overwhelmed by the unexpected box office of "Arms 1". As the boss of a long-established first-class entertainment company, he still has a thorough understanding of the domestic film market.
He understands that domestic military-themed movies are not easy to make, so he was relatively conservative when he estimated the box office of "Arms 2" in his mind.
Qin Da placed his finger on the mouse and slid the gear gently. He looked at the official website of the General Administration of Culture. Above the total box office of "Arms 2", the total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was clearly displayed.
So far, the total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has reached more than 5.87 billion, which is much higher than the box office of "Arms 2".
"Tsk tsk tsk." Qin Da couldn't help but sigh.
He remembered the beginning. At that time, he didn't like "Wolf Warrior 2". He always thought that Tan Yue was very good. Although the two were in competition, he always admired Tan Yue.
But he always felt that Tan Yue's decision to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2" was a bad move. Like the rumors, he also felt that "Wolf Warrior 2" was following the trend, or even more blatantly copying "Arms 2".
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? "Arms 2" is about to be shot, and "Wolf Warrior 2" is following closely. "Arms 2" is the sequel of "Arms 1", so the name is "Arms 2". "Wolf Warrior 2" is ridiculous, just call it "Wolf Warrior 2". Where is your "Wolf Warrior 1"?
However, Qin Da never expected that "Wolf Warrior 2", which he thought was a fake, would perform so well. It has made it into the top five in the history of Chinese movie box office, and is still slowly moving forward.
To be honest, Qin Da is very satisfied with the box office of "Arms 2", which is much higher than "Arms 1". But looking at the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" approaching 6 billion, he still can't help but be jealous, and he is envious from the bottom of his heart.
The box office of "Arms 2" is very high. No matter when it is placed, a box office of 4 billion is very powerful and strong, but in the history of Chinese movies, there are more movies with more than 4 billion, and the degree of attracting attention is far less than "Wolf Warrior 2", and this is real profit!
At this time, Qin Da had the same mentality as when he saw the brilliant entertainment company shoot hit TV series and make hit programs. If his Tianjing Entertainment Company could also have a talent like Tan Yue, maybe Tianjing Entertainment Company would have entered the international entertainment circle now.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was September 7th.
There was only one week left before the release of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Arms 2" with delayed release time was removed from the shelves.
And now, the total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has reached 5.988 billion, and the single-day box office is about 4.7 million. It has moved up one place in the history of Chinese film box office, surpassing "Crazy World" which was originally ranked third, and ranked third.
At this time, many people in and out of the circle held their breath, staring closely at the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", and paying attention to whether the final box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" can exceed 6 billion.
Now the first in the history of Chinese film is "Ruins", with a total box office of 7.2 billion. The second is "Star Journey", with a total box office of 6.511 billion. With the current momentum of "Wolf Warrior 2", the total box office is bound to not exceed "Star Journey", but what everyone is concerned about is whether its box office can exceed 6 billion.
6 billion box office is a hurdle. At present, the only movies in China that have box office exceeded 6 billion are "Ruins" and "Star Journey". If the total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" also exceeds 6 billion, then the box office of the top three movies in Chinese film history will exceed 6 billion.
Beijing.
The sun is scorching. In the morning, the sun is like fire, scorching the earth.
On the bustling streets, beautiful girls put on sunscreen, put on miniskirts, and put up colorful parasols, which is also a beautiful landscape.
In the office of Deputy Director Li Jian in the building of the General Administration of Culture in the center of Beijing, Li Jian made a pot of tea, stood in front of the window with the teacup, looked out the window, and was in a daze.
He used to smoke, especially in the years when he was the director of Hedong Provincial TV Station. He smoked a lot and always wanted to quit smoking, but he didn't quit.
Since he was promoted to the deputy director of the General Administration of Culture, he easily quit smoking.
Speaking of which, smoking is still related to stress, but after carrying huge pressure, it is difficult to quit smoking even if you want to. Once the huge burden on your back is unloaded, quitting smoking is not so difficult. Perhaps it can be said that in adversity, cigarettes play a little comforting role.
After being promoted to the position of deputy director of the General Administration of Culture, Li Jian started drinking tea and never smoked again.
Looking at the steaming summer heat outside the window, Li Jian couldn't help but think of his old friend Tian Wenbin, who is now the director of a TV station in Sichuan Province. It should be even hotter there.
Thinking of Tian Wenbin, it is inevitable to think of the current Hedong Provincial TV Station. Although the current Hedong Provincial TV Station is still very popular and ranks among the top three local TV stations in China, it has already shown some decline compared to when he was the director.
However, although he is still the leader of Hedong Provincial TV Station, including the director of Hedong Provincial TV Station, it is impossible for him to play the role in the station as he did before, after all, he is no longer in the position.
"Alas."
Thinking that one day Hedong Provincial TV Station will slowly decline, Li Jian can't help but sigh in his heart, after all, it is the place that supported him.
"If the old leader could retire two years later, I can still hold on to Hedong Provincial TV Station for a while, until Lao Tian is fully recognized by the leaders of the General Administration, and then let Lao Tian take over the position. He knows what to do. What a pity, what a pity."
Li Jian regretted while drinking tea.
Dongdongdong.
The door of the office was knocked.
Li Jian turned around, looked over, and said, "Come in."
After Li Jian finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open, and a young man in work clothes walked in. This was Li Jian's assistant. He looked at Li Jian and said, "Director Li, the meeting is about to start."
Li Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I know."
After Li Jian finished speaking, the assistant turned around and walked out.
Li Jian put down the teacup in his hand, took out a wet towel from the desk, and wiped his face and hands. When the weather is hot, it is easy to feel listless, especially when you are older, it is easy to feel sleepy.
The cold touch on the face slightly stimulated Li Jian's spirit, then rubbed his face, walked out of the office, and went to the meeting room that had been scheduled before.
Li Jian found that after becoming the deputy director, he did less front-line work, and more strategic layout, looking at problems from a global perspective, no longer limited to one TV station, and the frequency of meetings was also very high, sometimes one meeting a day, sometimes five or six meetings a day, on average, two or three meetings a day.
When we arrived at the conference room, many people had already arrived. The main seat was still empty, and the heads of various departments had arrived.
"Director Li."
"Deputy Director Li is here."
"Hello, Deputy Director."
After Li Jian came in, everyone greeted him. After all, he is currently one of the top three bosses in the General Administration of Culture. Although his experience is not deep, everyone will definitely respect him.
Li Jian nodded and greeted some people he knew.
Less than half a minute after Li Jian came in, another deputy director Zhang Tieshan also arrived.
Everyone greeted Zhang Tieshan again, and Li Jian also smiled and spoke.
Compared with Li Jian, who had just been promoted, Zhang Tieshan's experience was much older. When Li Jian worked at the General Administration of Culture, Zhang Tieshan was the deputy director. Later, when Li Jian went to be the director of Hedong Provincial TV Station, Zhang Tieshan was still his direct supervisor.
Li Jian also respected Zhang Tieshan.
At 10:50, the sound of high heels "clacking" came from outside the conference room, neither hurried nor slow, giving people a calm feeling.
Hearing this sound, everyone in the conference room looked stern, knowing who was coming.
The boss of the General Administration of Culture came in.
If at this time, a music of the God of Gamblers' appearance was added, it would be more elegant, but whether the world can have such a classic music depends on Tan Yue.
Ye Wen strode into the conference room and sat down at the main seat of the conference table. On her left and right were the two deputy directors of the General Administration of Culture.
Looking at the two people, Ye Wen nodded gently, then looked at everyone and said, "Is everyone here? When everyone is here, we will officially start the meeting."
Although Ye Wen is a woman, she seems to be a little domineering, or arbitrary. For example, this question is just a formality. No matter whether everyone is here or not, as long as she has come and sat down, it means that the meeting is about to begin.
It has been like this for so many years.
However, the people present were not dissatisfied with Ye Wen's arbitrary decision, because Ye Wen did have her personal charm, which could convince people.
Just like a piece of news that some people had heard before, the tanks used in the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2" were borrowed by Ye Wen from the troops stationed in Africa. If "Wolf Warrior 2" had not become popular before, some people might have some complaints. But now, under the premise of "Wolf Warrior 2" being so popular, it can only highlight Ye Wen's insight and long-term vision.
Such a courageous and intelligent woman, to be the top of China's cultural industry, everyone admires.
Ye Wen began to talk about the content of the meeting to be held today. She mostly played the role of hosting the meeting. What kind of questions, what kind of people to answer, or what kind of people to hand over to, she directly explained on the spot.
This is the way Ye Wen has always done things. She is not a god, and it is impossible for her to know everything. In such a high position, what is needed is not her talent, but to use those talented people and hand things over to professionals.
Ye Wen undoubtedly did a good job in identifying and employing people.
One thing after another, she was handed down.
The meeting was held very quickly. Thirteen matters, big and small, were all handed down and handled in less than half an hour. This efficiency was enough to shame many people.
According to convention, Boss Ye would directly announce the end of the meeting, then stand up handsomely and be the first to leave the meeting room.
But today, it seemed a little different. After the meeting, Boss Ye did not rush to leave, but started talking.
"Has everyone watched "Wolf Warrior 2" recently?" Ye Wen looked at her subordinates and asked.
Hearing the leader's question, everyone nodded in response.
"I have seen it."
"Director, this movie is really exciting. I have watched it twice."
"Hahaha, I took my children to see it last week. It is really great. No wonder it has such a high box office."
Ye Wen nodded and said, "How do you feel?"
Everyone knew that Director Ye was very optimistic about "Wolf Warrior 2", so naturally everyone praised it.
Ye Wen gently pressed her hand, and the meeting room became quiet instantly.
Ye Wen said: "To be honest, I am very happy that Wolf Warrior 2 can have such a high box office. After all, it also represents the prosperity of our Chinese entertainment, especially the theme of Wolf Warrior 2, which is more representative in some aspects."
"Haha, at the beginning, I really didn't think that the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 would be so high, and then the word-of-mouth and box office of this movie suddenly exploded. Until now, the total box office is about to exceed 6 billion, and I am a little surprised."
"However, as I said just now, I am really happy about the box office, but what makes me happier is the person standing behind Wolf Warrior 2."
Hearing Ye Wen say this, many people realized that the person the big leader was talking about should be Tan Yue.
There are generally two situations in making movies. One is the role-plot flow. In this kind of movie, the audience discusses the characters and actors more. The other is the director-oriented type. In this kind of movie, the director is discussed more. This situation usually occurs in those very well-known directors. Ordinary directors will not be paid attention to by the majority of netizens.
There are very few directors of this level in China, and they can be counted on one hand, and Tan Yue is one of them.
Although Tan Yue is indeed young, compared with a group of well-known directors with white hair, white beards or bald heads, Tan Yue looks particularly young and handsome, but such a young director has joined the ranks of well-known directors in China with solid and strong strength.
After "Wolf Warrior 2" became popular, there were discussions about the characters, about the actors, and about the plot, but the most discussed topics were still related to Tan Yue. This is also the reason why many people thought that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was relatively high on the first day when they saw it was inflated. Tan Yue's fans are very sticky and popular. When his debut movie is released, there will definitely be many people who will take the initiative to support it.
Ye Wen had a faint smile on her face, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, and she said: "Wolf Warrior 2 is Tan Yue's first movie, and the box office has exceeded 5 billion, approaching 6 billion. Not to mention the height of Wolf Warrior 2, just from seeing Tan Yue's potential here, we know how amazing it will be."
"His talent is unquestionable. He has achieved such results in his first movie. With his talent and his increasingly sophisticated shooting skills, what heights will his new movies reach?"
"I won't think he can break the record in my country's film history, but I will keep watching."
