Hollywood Hunter

Time flies, and in the end, for the entire week from July 9 to July 15, the box office revenue of the Chinese mainland market reached 82 million yuan, which is second only to the Lunar New Year at the beginning of the year. Party A, Party B and Flash Girl.

Subsequently, from July 16th to July 22nd, the second week of release, with the further spread of word-of-mouth, the film's box office trend in the second week was also quite gratifying, with another 67 million yuan, a total of 149 million yuan, surpassing Flash Girl, Even in the first half of the year, the other two imported films that exceeded 100 million yuan jumped to the second place on the annual list in one fell swoop.

Obviously, it is only a matter of time before Party A and Party B surpass Party A, which temporarily ranks first in the mainland with a total box office of 153 million yuan.

As the producer of the film, Jin Shu and China Film Group began planning to hold a celebration ceremony when the box office was released in the first week. Later, they decided to wait for the breakthrough of 100 million yuan, and put it in the second week of the release. The final date is set on Saturday, July 24. .

It's still the capital.

It's Friday, July 23rd.

Mo Wuling returned to Suzhou a few days ago, and flew back again after only a week.

For the release of Things Past.

Because of the success of To Youth, the main creators of the film have been very popular in the industry recently. In addition to the newcomer Cao Jingchu as the director, the blockbuster, Mo Wuling, the screenwriter, has also become the object of close contact with many film and television companies. He only returned to Suzhou for a week. Well, the owner of a movie company over there somehow found out about her movements, and came here with a box of cash, 300,000, which was still a deposit, and only hoped to buy a script from her.

Mo Wuling could only refuse.

After all, it is very clear that whether it is Zhiqing, or Chu Han, who has already started filming, she can only be regarded as a ghostwriter, and the original idea was proposed by a certain guy. Therefore, if someone writes scripts casually under such a name, trillions will screw up, and Mo Wuling feels that he cannot bear the responsibility.

The other party looked at the thatched cottage three times, persevering, and felt that he was giving face so much and Mo Wuling was not giving face so much, so he got annoyed, and even blocked the door, revealing that he was actually related to the Tao, and had tattoos on his arms.

Then he was arrested.

This side has not done anything wrong, detained for 15 days, and the person is still in the detention center at the moment, but has sent people to apologize twice in a row, saying that he has blind eyes, blah blah, and sent the box of cash over, saying that at that time apologize.

Of course Mo Wuling didn't want it, he just told the other party not to offend him again.

In fact, no matter what, as a normal person, the popularity in the circle recently made Mo Wuling feel happy, the feeling of being slightly drunk from drinking.

Just not getting lost in it.

After all, Mo Wuling can calm down whenever he thinks about a guy who can throw everyone in the world out of a solar system. What can he do?

Currently still in the CCTV headquarters near Fuxingmen, Xicheng District, in a small conference room, I did not expect that CCTV Director Zhao, who took office at the beginning of the year, would attend this negotiation meeting. Ren Jingxi, who originally wanted to push Mo Wuling to shine, personally Explanation: "Every leader should have watched the sample film. Homecoming is definitely not a love story of a petty bourgeois man and woman at first glance. It is hidden behind the emotional journey of the hero and heroine, rich knowledge of national culture and anecdotes about the film industry. Yes, it is a TV series that explores modern people's attitudes towards life and the meaning of life, and also involves thinking about the inheritance of national culture, so it is a very connotative TV series."

In fact, since Mo Wuling's "To Youth" has been a big success recently, her lead production of "Time Like Water" has also become the subject of close attention by many TV stations. If it is purely for the purpose of maximizing the commercial interests of this project, CCTV is definitely not the best partner.

The problem is, it's clearly not a matter of how much it sells per episode.

Everyone in the small conference room basically understood this point. After Ren Jingxi finished speaking, Director Zhao, who was present unexpectedly, smiled and said, "Xiao Ren, I also took the time to watch a movie. To be honest, it is really a good movie. , However, everyone is also a sensible person, tell me the conditions that you are willing to hand over this drama to CCTV to broadcast, you know, I am not referring to the purchase price."

Ren Jingxi was not too polite, and cut straight to the point: "CCTV has the two-year exclusive rights, this is one of them, and the other is the prime time of the main station at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Director Zhao pondered for a moment, then said: "Two years is a bit short, three years, you know, our CCTV used to buy movies with permanent copyright, oh, I also know, the form is different now, but two years is also It's too short."

Ren Jingxi didn't insist too much, nodded and said: "Yes."

"About the prime time," Director Zhao paused habitually, and said, "I can agree, but, you know, it will be the 50th anniversary soon, and this drama will definitely not be able to go live in the last few months, so , if you stick to the prime time, at least until the end of the year."

Ren Jingxi said: "This is not a problem. The later stage of the series has not been completed yet, and there is also an audit. The end of the year is just right."

Director Zhao smiled and nodded: "Then, let's talk about the specific price."

Talking about money will inevitably hurt feelings, and in this drama, both parties have the intention of connecting feelings, so it was finalized in a few words.

300,000 per episode.

According to the final 23 collectives currently determined, the total is 6.9 million.

Such a price, decades from now, may be the salary of a traffic superstar for a few days, but when the average film purchase cost is only 80,000 yuan, CCTV can offer a price of 300,000 yuan, which is already very generous.

Of course, only

It is relative to CCTV itself.

With Mo Wuling's current fame, he let go of the bidding, and breaking 500,000 yuan for a single episode was easy.

However, to say the same thing, the most important thing about this drama is not the issue of money, but the core is a promotion of Jinshu Film and Television City in Suzhou. As for publicity, there is currently no CCTV platform with a wider audience, let alone CCTV's set of eight-point prime time. Playing a TV series with obvious advertising and marketing implications, if it is more than ten or twenty years later, and everyone becomes more and more aware of various commercial routines, it may be necessary to pay CCTV money here in order to get a good schedule.

In any case, things ended up being decided very happily.

Afterwards, various details were discussed. Until noon, the two women were enthusiastically persuaded by Director Zhao to stay for a working meal. In the end, they left each other business cards for more contact in the future.

It was after one o'clock in the afternoon when we left the CCTV headquarters.

Ren Jingxi didn't explain to Mo Wuling why Director Zhao was so warm to them. Although Mo Wuling, who was born in a family of officials, should be more sensitive to this, but now it's just the other way around. I like to focus on my own small business more and more, writing scripts and doing drama series, etc., but Ren Jingxi is becoming more and more slick.

The two got on a newly bought Audi a6 by Ren Jingxi downstairs. In fact, they wanted to sell Mercedes-Benz s600 at first, because Mercedes-Benz models are commonly used around someone. Of course, there are more expensive Rolls-Royce and Maybach Ren Jingxi didn't think too much about it, not because he couldn't afford it, but because he felt it was unnecessary.

However, he brought his father with him at the time, and as a result, he also felt that it was unnecessary for the Mercedes-Benz s600 with a price tag of 1.6 million.

Finally, I chose the Audi a6 with a current price of 460,000.

This is already considered a luxury car at the moment, and it doesn't count as a loss to drive it out for business entertainment, so Ren Jingxi didn't insist.

After Gu Yu, who had grown from Ren Jingxi's maid to the current assistant, started the car, Ren Jingxi, who was sitting in the back seat with Mo Wuling, asked, "By the way, where are you waiting?"

Mo Wuling took out a thick stack of documents from his Gucci satchel, and showed it to Ren Jingxi: "Look at the house."

Ren Jingxi was a little puzzled: "You want to buy a house, um, move out of Maoer Hutong."

Mo Wuling shook his head: "No, it's just that I plan to pick a house recently."

"That's good. I also said that I will stay at your place at night, and take a good bath in the underground swimming pool. I have been with the Pearl Return crew for half a month, and I feel that the whole person is about to disperse."

Mo Wuling laughed and teased: "Who told you to work so hard, you will never run out of money. Otherwise, come and see the house with me in the afternoon."

This brings the subject back.

Ren Jingxi asked: "Since you don't plan to move out, what are you looking at the house for?"

Mo Wuling hesitated a little.

Of course, this was the little suggestion someone gave her last time, so there was some conflict. I wanted to let my best friend know that I got the idea from him, but I wanted to keep this little secret alone.

In the end, the desire to show off overwhelmed Duxiang, and said: "He gave me advice, saying that if you have money, you can buy more houses as investment."

Ren Jingxi blinked: "Why do you say that?"

Mo Wuling looked innocent: "Anyway, that's what he said. Well, it probably means that real estate is the best investment direction in China for many years."

Ren Jingxi came to understand, and then suddenly realized something, and asked suddenly: "Well, to youth, did Jinshu give you a big red envelope?"

Mo Wuling shook his head: "No, the movies are still showing, how can it be so fast."

Regarding this matter, the last time I participated in Chu Han's launch conference, Jinshu and China Film both mentioned to her, saying that they would give her a big red envelope when they waited for the next stage of youth, and she felt that this was also her own. What is deserved, or, it should be regarded as taking advantage for him, of course he will not refuse.

Seeing that Ren Jingxi was still staring at him, Mo Wuling said: "I have saved a lot of money in recent years. I didn't know how to spend it before, so he just mentioned it."

Ren Jingxi couldn't help teasing: "Do you believe what he says?"

Mo Wuling asked back: "Don't you believe it?"

Ren Jingxi was at a loss for words for a while, and then said: "I think it's a good idea to invest in stocks recently, and I opened an account. Unfortunately, my dad stared at him and didn't dare to invest too much, so he transferred in 1 million. Try Buying indiscriminately, I have made more than 300,000 recently."

Mo Wuling curled his lips: "I thought about it too, but I was discouraged by him."

Ren Jingxi came alive: "What did he say?"

Mo Wuling played tricks: "I won't tell you."

Ren Jingxi made a gesture and raised his hands like a dragon's claws: "Do you want me to serve you in a big torture?"

Mo Wuling smiled and raised his hand to protect his front: "Anyway, he doesn't mean that I can't afford the stock market. I think it's the same. You shouldn't be able to either, right?"

Knowing that Mo Wuling would not joke about such things, Ren Jingxi tilted his head slightly and thought about it, and quickly made up his mind: "I will clear the account next week."

Mo Wuling still smiled: "Maybe he can still make money, the situation is so good now."

Ren Jingxi came over: "If you lose money, will it be yours?"

Mo Wuling rolled his eyes: "It's up to me to do something, you're going to speculate in stocks yourself."

"No speculation," Ren Jingxi became more determined, grabbed a stack of documents from Mo Wuling's lap, flipped through them, and said, "I'll speculate in real estate with you."

Mo Wuling still smiled, and reminded: "Don't blame me for the loss, blame him."

"I can't reach him, so I blame you."

Mo Wuling pouted slightly: "I just noticed, I never thought you have such a rascal side."

Ren Jingxi didn't make excuses, flipped through the documents, and acted vigorously: "Well, you go to see the house this afternoon, which one do you like, um, if you buy one, just help me choose five."

"Are you showing off that you are richer than me?"

"certainly."

""

Ren Jingxi suddenly smiled and stretched out his arms to hug Mo Wuling's slender body: "Honey, when I get rich from real estate speculation and you don't think about him anymore, come with me when the time comes, and I will support you. "

Mo Wuling blushed and patted Ren Jingxi's small hand that was in front of him, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
