Chapter 627: "Charlotte's Troubles" Project Launch

After watching Lost in Thailand, the main executives and creative team of Happy Twist made up their minds.

They will continue to make movies!

And make comedies!

Just make "Charlotte's Troubles"!

The success of this drama gave them great confidence.

It is said that failure is the mother of success.

After failing in the movie "One Thought in Heaven", they will definitely not fail again this time.

In other words, several CEOs of Happy Twist were jealous of the high box office of Lost in Thailand.

In fact, it is not just them.

There are countless production companies related to the film and television industry in the circle who are jealous of the movie Lost in Thailand. They are so envious and jealous.

Only one company is happy, that is Enlight Pictures.

The movie Lost in Thailand is a collaboration between Enlight Pictures and Xu Zheng. Enlight took on more than half of the investment, and the rest was booked by Xu Zheng and Huang Bo's own studio.

And now, Lost in Thailand has broken the following records:

The highest first-day box office record for Chinese-language movies.

The highest single-day box office record for Chinese-language movies.

The highest box office record for a Chinese-language film in the first week.

The fastest box office record for a Chinese-language film to break 600 million yuan.

The highest box office record for a Chinese-language film in the second week.

The highest box office record for a Chinese-language film in a single week.

The second highest box office in the history of Chinese-language films.

This series of records not only brought Guangguang honors, but also a lot of small money.

And it took "Lost in Thailand" only half a month to break these records.

On January 1, 2013, the first day of the new year, the producer of "Lost in Thailand" announced that the box office of "Lost in Thailand" exceeded 1 billion yuan, officially entering the billion box office club.

This is also the second Chinese-language film to break 1 billion yuan in box office after "The Legend of Zu".

It can even be confirmed that it is absolutely no problem for this movie to exceed "The Legend of Zu" in the final box office!

Because "Lost in Thailand" has only been released for 19 days!

However, on this important day, Huang Bo returned to the crew of "Dear" after attending the media meeting held by Guangguang for "Lost in Thailand" to break the 1 billion box office, and smashed the ice dragon representing the 1 billion box office with the Iron Triangle.

He will not participate in the promotion activities of "Lost in Thailand" next.

He was embarrassed to ask for leave again, and "Dear" had already finished filming the scenes of other actors in Beijing, and was waiting for Huang Bo to complete his scenes, and then the crew would move on.

You can't really let the crew stop and wait for Huang Bo to finish the promotion of "Lost in Thailand", right?

According to the current box office trend of this movie, it is estimated that it will not be released until early February!

Beijing, the set of the crew of "Dear".

"Director Wu, I'm back!" Huang Bo's face was full of apologies, and he began to bow and apologize to Wu Yuan from a distance.

He took a full 19 days off, even missed a year, and only returned to the crew on January 2nd. This behavior is really too much.

Huang Bo has been an actor for so many years, and he has never heard of any actor who can take such a long leave without force majeure.

Especially the film crew.

Huang Bo is really grateful that Wu Yuan can be so tolerant of him.

After all, he also hopes to promote "Lost in Thailand" more and add fuel to the final box office of this movie.

Huang Bo may not encounter such an opportunity in his lifetime for such a phenomenal movie, so he has to seize it.

Besides, his studio also participated in the investment of this movie. He is not only an actor, but also one of the investors. He has to work hard!

In this case, Wu Yuan can be so considerate and understanding. Huang Bo is so moved.

He almost shed tears.

"Isn't this our 1 billion box office actor!"

"Why are you jealous?"

Wu Yuan's slightly teasing figure interrupted Huang Bo's wandering thoughts.

"No, no, in front of you, the director, my achievement is nothing."

"And the success of "Lost in Thailand" is mainly due to Xu Zheng and Baoqiang. I am just a partner. This movie cannot be named after me!"

Huang Bo is still so humble.

He really doesn't have the capital to be arrogant in front of Wu Yuan.

Even if Xu Zheng comes, there is no chance.

Wu Yuan's status has long been beyond the scope of a small Chinese entertainment circle. Not to mention the international awards he has won, the box office of his commercial films alone, the highest-grossing one, is more than the total box office of all the movies Huang Bo has made in his life.

Even if it is a box office of several billion, for Wu Yuan, it is just the achievement of a movie.

A director who can enter the billion-dollar box office club in Hollywood is so arrogant.

This is not a simple difference of seven or eight times calculated according to the exchange rate.

It is a difference of dozens or hundreds of times!

In addition, Huang Bo is not the kind of person who gets carried away by his achievements, so it is naturally impossible for him to do something weird.

This time when he returned to the crew, the atmosphere was still very harmonious because he took the initiative to be humble.

Wu Yuan also smiled and patted his shoulder: "The crew is waiting for you alone."

"Don't complain about being tired in the next few days. I have arranged a lot of scenes for you, and you have to shoot for 8-10 hours every day."

"We have to catch up with the progress."

Although the crew normally shoots for more than 8 hours a day, it is impossible for all the scenes to be one-person. In fact, each actor only has four or five hours of acting time every day, and the rest of the time is waiting for the scene.

But Huang Bo can't expect to have this treatment this time. In the next half month, the crew will shoot his scenes alone. His scenes with each actor are arranged together, and they are shot non-stop every day.

This is also the treatment he deserves for missing 20 days of work. Huang Bo has nothing to complain about, and dare not complain. He nodded heavily: "Director, you can rest assured. I will definitely go all out and follow the arrangements!"

In this way, Huang Bo returned to the group, and the crew of "Dear" got back on track.

However, in the outside world, the various waves triggered by "Lost in Thailand" have just begun.

The most obvious and fastest action is that major film and television production companies have all begun to increase their investment in small and medium-cost comedy films.

A dark horse like "Lost in Thailand" is really too fragrant.

Investing in the production of ten such movies, as long as one can be the second "Lost in Thailand", it will be a huge profit!

It was also when the industry was completely burned by "comedy films" and "nonsense comedies" and began to prepare for such movies, that Happy Twist also took the first draft of "Charlotte's Troubles" and approached Guangying Times.

This time, Happy Twist still plans to cooperate with Guangying Times. They dare not invest so much money to make a movie by themselves.

Although they said that this time they will definitely succeed, Happy Twist really dare not gamble.

If this "Charlotte's Troubles" also fails, then if they are fully funded, it is possible that Happy Twist will go bankrupt directly.

Over the years, there are not too many film companies that have been forced to go bankrupt because of a movie's box office failure.

With the idea of ​​seeking stability, Happy Twist immediately approached Guangying Times.

After reading the script, Li Xiaoping also agreed to invest without hesitation and internally approved the project of this movie.

Guangying Times is now also looking to expand the types of movies it invests in.

This is really a perfect match!
