Chapter 529: Unparalleled, Golden Statue
At this time, Xu Guangtou, Huang Bo, and Wang Baobao all had this feeling. One play made them reach the peak of their lives. They were praised wherever they went, and they couldn't help but feel elated.
Let's just say that even Huang Bo was surrounded by beauties. Just think about it, once a person becomes famous, he or she will have money, beauties, fame, status, and everything else. Why do they all want to be famous?
The things that come with being famous are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. The extravagance and debauchery were fully displayed at this celebration banquet.
"Brother Shen, congratulations, you have set a new box office record." Cheng Long cupped his hands to congratulate Shen Lang.
Shen Lang waved his hand: "Brother Long, you are too polite. Although it was unexpected, there is nothing to congratulate. I have succeeded more than once or twice."
Fatty Yu tutted: "Brother, only you can say such arrogant words. If others say so, I will definitely slap them. 1.68 billion, it's really a miracle. Don't be too modest."
Wang Zhongjun also nodded and agreed: "Fatty Yu is right. This result really scared me."
Wang Zhongjun was really scared. Just kidding, he has Xu Ke, the martial arts master, Feng Kuazi, the domestic commercial film pioneer, and Feng's comedy No. 1.
Xu Ke's Dragon Gate Flying Swords only had a box office of 540 million, but it had a group of big names such as Jet Li, Zhou Gongzi, and Chen Kun joining, and used the most awesome 3D special effects technology. The investment amount was as high as 200 million, but it only won a box office of 540 million. Although there are still some profits from the external channels and copyrights, compared with Lost in Thailand, it was directly crushed into scum.
Lost in Thailand had a total investment of less than 80 million yuan. Not to mention the status of the actors, Xu Guangtou, Wang Baobao, and Huang Bo were unknown in the industry before, and they were also unknown.
One is a martial arts film, and the other is a comedy.
Although they are different genres, the gap is too big.
Not to mention Feng Kuzi's comedy, which can be said to be the peak of domestic comedy and a banner of domestic comedy films.
If You Are the One 1, Feng Kuzi has earned back the investment from advertisers before the show started, with a net profit of nearly 200 million yuan. This is awesome, right?
But it is still not good enough compared to Lost in Thailand.
He really doesn't understand it. Why did Lost in Thailand become so popular? What's the secret?
For a while, Wang Zhongjun was a little doubtful about his life. After making movies for so many years, he can't control the market? Can't understand the audience's preferences? This is not a good thing for Wang Zhongjun.
................
Shen Lang burst into laughter: "Didn't President Han just say that the success of Lost in Thailand this time is actually due to the increase in the audience market and the big screen. It's not a miracle. It can only be said to be a hit. There will be more and more such dramas in the future."
Andy Lau held the champagne and looked at Shen Lang: "Will you attend the Best Picture Award Ceremony of the Academy Awards in 3 days?"
"I must attend. I promised Jacky Cheung that I would give him the title of Best Actor. Brother Bin, have you received the invitation?"
"I received it a long time ago. Wushuang was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. I thought you wouldn't go."
"You have to go. You have to do what you promised."
Jing Long put his arm around Shen Lang's shoulders: "Come early. I'll have a party for you at the Repulse Bay Villa."
Shen Lang showed an expression that all men understand: "Are there any pretty girls?"
"Of course, there are as many as you want."
It's easy to do if there are girls.
"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow. Brother Bin, help me with the formalities."
Huang Bin made an OK gesture.
"Brother, you have made 1.68 billion, and I am under a lot of pressure." Jiang Wen came over with a glass of champagne and joked.
Shen Lang looked at Jiang Wen's nonchalant expression and laughed: "Brother Wen, I don't see any pressure on you."
"I don't like to show it on my face. I am under a lot of pressure. I have to drink at least two taels of wine every night to fall asleep. The box office is like a mountain, which is weighing me down..."
Shen Lang was speechless when listening to Jiang Wen's nonsense. Jiang Wen sometimes likes to talk in that tone. He likes to use exaggerated rhetoric when he has nothing to do. You can see from the lines in his movies that Jiang Wen is really a fun person.
"Don't make a fuss."
"No, I am really under pressure. 1.68 billion, this is not a joke." Jiang Wen said with a bit of sincerity.
"I have confidence in Let the Bullets Fly. I'll make a bet with you that this year's box office champion is definitely Let the Bullets Fly. If you lose, I'll treat you to a year's worth of feasts. If you win, you'll owe me a favor."
"Okay, let's make the bet. Brother, you're too confident in me."
Shen Lang's mouth curled up slightly: "You'll know when the time comes, Brother Wen, when have I ever fought a battle that I wasn't sure of? The final winner this year is either Let the Bullets Fly or Ghost Blows Out the Light."
Jiang Wen's mouth twitched: "Didn't you say I had a sure win before?"
Shen Lang chuckled: "At that time, I didn't expect Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue to be filmed so quickly."
"Why don't you discuss it with Director Zhang, can the Spring Festival be okay, let me have a good time this year."
"Hehe, this matter, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."
