"The box office exceeded 7.5 million in ten days, and "Operation Mekong" swept the August schedule"

"Chinese-Style Heroism, The Rise of Theme Theme"

"Compact, exciting, thrilling, Hollywood-level commercial action movie"

"Discuss the small details of "Operation Mekong""

"Confirmed postponement, will the first 50 billion box office Mr. be born?" 》

"Box office darling, President Bona praised Wei Yang as the most popular movie actor in the industry"

"Is Fang Xinwu Dead?" Boehner revealed that there may be a sequel to "Operation Mekong"

"..."

sequel?

Not to mention resources, it owns one of the largest entertainment companies in the country, as well as several popular websites, and its influence covers many industries such as media, entertainment, finance, film and television, and the Internet.

Fatty Yu didn't say much. Firstly, he was just pulling the strings. Secondly, he couldn't control Wei Yang. Thirdly, he also felt that Sun Entertainment was thinking too much.

The boss was born in a junkyard operator and has a very muddy background. Sun Entertainment itself may have engaged in some illegal activities such as money laundering. The purpose of such a person to cooperate with him is very obvious.

But if you are filming this, you have to be tight, otherwise the four major families will be solved by three, five, and two, which will make the protagonists seem to be relatively weak.

These are very important to the boss behind Sun Entertainment. If they can get on the line, they will benefit a lot.

Not to mention that Wei Yang has many ways to make money, and there is no need to break the law with them. If he takes a few steps back and says, if for his own reasons, he leads people to the road of no return and ruins their families, then his sin will be great. .

Relying on the strength of the country's number one theater chain, Wanda has become more and more influential in the film industry in the past two years. It also has many projects on hand, but not many of them are of high quality.

Sun Entertainment!

However, Sun Entertainment approached Wei Yang for more than just movies.

Moreover, everyone in the circle knows that Wei Yang is very popular with capital in the Shanghai circle, and is even quite popular in the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai business circles. In addition, he has many coal boss friends, and he also knows many other capitalists and wealthy people.

The box office war in July may have some negative effects, but it is far less serious than previously thought by all parties. There is still a lot of potential for the summer season, and the wallets and enthusiasm of domestic audiences for watching movies are also growing day by day.

"Has the starring role been decided? I heard you said you wanted to find Brother Fa. Why haven't I heard him talk about it?"

However, although Wanda is awesome, Boss Wei really doesn’t lack theater cooperation.

Fatty Yu would not offend Boss Wei for a Sun Entertainment with whom he had not cooperated well. He took it off quietly and said that he was just saying hello, and then discussed a new cooperation with Wei Yang with a smile.

Wei Yang scrolled through his phone and suddenly smiled. Mekong River is a real case. The filming has been completed. Where can I film a sequel?

Therefore, Wanda wants to cooperate with Mr. Wei and Blue Whale. One side has its advantage in theaters and the other side has content, which complement each other perfectly.

In addition to Wanda, Hong Kong capital also showed great enthusiasm for Boss Wei.

The results of "Operation Mekong" were better than Wei Yang and Fatty Yu expected.

There is no doubt that in this regard, Wei Yang is already ranked high in the Chinese film industry, and can even be said to be second to none.

"The setting has been changed. Originally, I planned to make the background in Xiangjiang. But then I thought that the mainland would also work, so I changed it to the mainland."

Although filming the sequel to "Operation Mekong" is just a rumor, Bona and Fatty really want to deepen their cooperation with Boss Wei.

"The Golden Triangle"?
Or "Burmese Storm"?
Maybe it can be linked with Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" and make a movie "Wolf Warrior 3: Operation Old Street"

Of course, this is also inseparable from Boss Wei’s appeal.

After all, if the audience has money, it depends on who has the qualifications to make people willing to spend money.

"Last time you said you wanted to go to Xiangjiang to film a movie, and I told you to contact you. Why is there no movement from your side?"

Wei Yang is not a good person, and he has done some immoral things and some sidesteps in recent years, but he still has the bottom line.

As a result, Boss Wei didn’t take this issue at all!
Others may not be sure yet, but they still don’t know the truth behind Sun Entertainment and the cheater he is.

While the momentum of Yinghuang and Media Asia has declined in the past two years and their performance has been poor, the rise of Sun Entertainment has the potential to become a new representative of the Hong Kong scene.

Fatty Yu was chatting away, but actually he wanted to make a movie about Wei Yang and see if there was any chance of getting involved.

And he is indeed still thinking about Wanda Cinema. Regardless of whether there is hope or not, it is always good to lay the groundwork.

Including the previous "Macau Storm" series, as well as "The Wolf 2", "Equator" and "Anti-Drug", there are shadows of Sun Entertainment. This time, "Operation Mekong" Sun Entertainment is also one of the investors, but the share is not large. .

Even he and Bona had a limited cooperation with Sun Entertainment and were not involved too deeply. Wei Yang had a bright future and was neither short of money nor power, and he was too lazy to wade into troubled waters.

What they value more is Boss Wei's financial resources, as well as the rich resources and connections behind him.

Wanda's Young Master Wang is jealous when he looks at it, let alone other people. Wei Yang casually attracts people, and the advertising effect is great.

But Wei Yang didn't turn him away. Let's talk if necessary. He is also capable, so if there is an opportunity to cooperate, we will make a fortune together.

If Sun Entertainment came through Fatty Yu, Wei Yang also rejected it through him.

Not to mention his old partner Guang Guang, he is one of his own from Shanghai Film Academy. This time he has also established a relationship with Bona. In addition, he already has good relations with major theaters and Hualuo Network’s online channel layout. Wanda is really Can't handle him.

Wei Yang didn't care whether the others really didn't know or were just pretending to be confused. Anyway, he didn't want to get involved.

These people are used to living in Hong Kong and Macao, and they really think that the big guys in the mainland are as unscrupulous as they are over there...

This place was established just a few years ago. After a short period of dormancy, the new company invested in many large projects in Hong Kong.

Not only him, other companies saw that Bona had benefited, and they also thought that they could become the second Fatty Yu. The person in charge of Wanda Pictures even blocked the crew during the road show and intercepted people, wanting to have a chat with Boss Wei.

Fatty Yu and Fa Ge are quite familiar. After all, he produced the "Macau Storm" series, and the latter is the first male protagonist.

"Originally I wanted to find him, but then I inquired about it and found that the price was too expensive, so I gave up."

Fatty Yu nodded sadly. He had just cooperated with the other party, so he naturally knew the price.

Fa Ge is indeed famous for being expensive!

In the past two years, I have not been busy in Hollywood, so the salary has been relatively adjusted. However, the salary for the first part of "Macau" was more than 4000 million, and the sequel has increased a bit.

Except for a few special circumstances, he is definitely one of the first echelons in the Chinese film industry.

But his money is not free. Although his box office appeal fluctuates, it does exist.

Especially in the past two years, the "Macau Storm" series and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" have performed extremely well at the box office. No matter how much credit he has in them, they can be used as bargaining chips to negotiate price increases.

This has also led to Fa Ge's salary rising all the way in the past two years. After the Spring Festival release of "Macau 2" at the beginning of the year, the bidding price has soared to 5000 million, and some even require dividends. Some people are willing to agree to this price, but that doesn't mean Wei Yang is willing to agree.

In terms of box office appeal, Wei Yang is only higher than Fa Ge. The latter's most valuable bargaining chip is actually not that valuable in Wei Yang.

Moreover, for the new movie, Wei Yang will definitely have to earn a lot of salary personally, and with the addition of Fa Ge, the cost will be somewhat unaffordable.

"If you don't invite Brother Fa, the guys in Xiangjiang won't be cheap either."

Fatty Yu was a little unsure, Wei Yang shook his head and smiled: "It's not like there are cheap jobs in Xiangjiang, but since it's a mainland background, it's more cost-effective to use mainland actors."

These days, actors in Xiangjiang are generally overpriced. Wei Young had thought about hiring Tony Leung Ka Fai, but he didn't expect that the price was not cheap. However, Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen from the mainland, who he was also optimistic about at the same level, were only paid a fraction of his. .

Especially Wang Zhiwen, most of the movies he has taken on in recent years have been supporting roles, and his popularity in TV series has also declined somewhat. He has appeared more in family dramas, so his market performance has declined.

To be a bit exaggerated, Fa Ge's salary can hire more than a dozen Wang Zhiwen.

But when it comes to performance, in terms of acting skills, Wang Zhiwen's role is by no means inferior to Fa Ge, and may even be stronger. After all, Wei Yang needs a very charming "villain", and this is precisely Wang Zhiwen's strength.

As I said before, Wei Yang is one of the very few producers at this stage who does not have the filter of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

He has made so many movies and even TV series, using only a handful of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, and many conspiracy theorists have made a lot of groundless conjectures.

But in fact, although Wei Yang is not too fond of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, most of them do not have any malice or resistance. It is purely a matter of practical considerations.

With the same demand, it is not a difficult choice between high-quality and low-priced mainland actors and high-priced and difficult-to-serve Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

Fatty Yu was not obsessed with Fa Ge. His main purpose was to participate in Wei Yang's new movie.

And Boss Wei did not refuse. Fatty Yu's doorway above is still okay.

This can be seen from the fact that he obtained a lot of key copyrights, produced the main theme many times in the later period, cooperated with many units, and later became the vice chairman of the Film Association.

Although Wei Yang also has his own connections and channels, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have another route.

Especially this time, the new movie is going to be set in the mainland from Hong Kong. There may be some ups and downs. It will be good for the movie to have a well-connected ally.

At Wei Yang's level, it doesn't matter if you make more or less, the main thing is the safety of the project.

Besides, if Fatty Yu can make money from him today, he will also be able to make money from Fatty Yu in the future. Again, win-win cooperation and everyone will get rich together.

And Fatty Yu did not disappoint Wei Yang and directly offered to repay him.

Bona is cooperating with director Er Dongsheng on a martial arts movie, and both the male and female leads of the movie can be given to Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment.

If Wei Yang is still interested, he can even arrange for some Hong Kong movies.

However, the male protagonists or important male supporting actors are basically pre-determined by Xiangjiang Actors. Unless Wei Yang takes action, they will not change them. However, some supporting roles and side heroines can be discussed.

This is of course a good thing for Wei Yang. Currently, Blue Whale's film resources are not enough to supply internal artists, so it would be great for Bona to help.

It’s not a loss for Fatty. There are many popular artists here in Blue Whale, including some top-notch artists. They may not be able to carry the box office, but they will definitely be the icing on the cake.

...

After participating in the road show for nearly a week and making arrangements for a celebration party later, Fatty Yu finally agreed to let Wei Yang go.

Boss Wei returned to the Magic City non-stop to participate in some promotions of "Nirvana in Fire".

At this time, "Nirvana in Fire" has been airing for several days.

To be honest, as the male protagonist of "Nirvana in Fire", Wei Yang's performance is extremely unqualified.

"Nirvana in Fire" has been airing for several days, and he has not even shown his face, and has hardly participated in the early promotions. The few interviews he has done have been with the teams of Station P and Magic City TV, as well as other artists from the crew. Find him in Beijing and other road show cities.

If a big name has played to this extent, anyone else would have been bombarded by the crew and even called for banning.

But who made him the boss of "Nirvana in Fire" and even the network platform behind it? Even Shanghai TV chose to accommodate, and others could only follow suit.

However, although Boss Wei's "professional attitude" in publicity is outrageous.

But the results of "Nirvana in Fire" silenced all the grievances.

The king of ratings is the king of ratings!

Even though Wei Yang is not very involved in the promotion of "Nirvana in Fire", relying on his name and influence, "Nirvana in Fire" is still eagerly anticipated by countless audiences.

The TV series has not yet been officially broadcast, but it has appeared frequently on major platforms, and it has set a new record on Hualuo.com.

This is the first time that a drama has reached the top ten in terms of overall popularity even before it is aired.

You know, as mentioned earlier, Hualuo.com’s popularity calculation method is relatively comprehensive and complex, including playback volume, barrage interaction, real-time replay, market performance, network-wide popularity, media exposure, etc.

There is no doubt that even if off-site factors account for a certain proportion, the actual performance on TV is the biggest key.

Now "Nirvana in Fire" has not been aired yet, there is no data such as the number of views and comments, and the discussion and popularity have not reached its peak. It is equivalent to a fan race with two lame legs and a broken arm.

But just by climbing with one hand, "Nirvana in Fire" rushed to the top ten, and almost reached the top five at its peak. This shows how popular this drama is.

And when "Nirvana in Fire" connects the other arm and two legs, the explosive strength will be even more impressive.

The day "Nirvana in Fire" premiered.

The average ratings directly exceeded 2, beating "Hua Xuyin" and "Young Marshal", ranking first in the same period.

PPTV’s broadcast volume exceeded 100 million on the first day, and this site ranked first on many lists!

Hualuo.com’s popularity soared to 9600, ranking first in growth and ranking second that day.

And the reason why it ranked second was mainly because it was broadcast at night and the time for ranking was limited, so it was inferior to "Hua Xu Yin" which had been broadcast for many days. However, the latter did not persist for too long and waited until around four o'clock in the morning the next day. , and was forced to give up the top spot again.

"Hua Xuyin", which has dominated the charts for nearly a week, was frantically liquidated after "Nirvana in Fire" was broadcast.

Not to mention that all the TV drama lists have been crushed, even lists such as the artist index have begun to be replaced by the "Nirvana in Fire".

Liu Tianxian, who had swept through the crowd before, was now swept away by Wei Yang.

Within twenty-four hours of the broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire", Wei Yang's name climbed to the top of her list.

Fortunately, the heroine Liu Shishi has no role yet, which makes her relieved.

But what gives Liu Tianxian a headache is that after the originally smooth sailing of "Hua Xu Yin" was suppressed by "Nirvana in Fire", more and more discordant voices appeared...
