During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 53 News from North America

In June, Summit Entertainment released news that the upcoming movie "Latent" was written and directed by Berlin Silver Bear director Wei Jin, with a 6% investment in the script.

After the news spread, it caused an uproar in North America. For a while, the media and passers-by were all curious about what kind of creativity could make Summit Entertainment willing to give up 20% of its investment share. You must know that this has almost no precedent in Hollywood.

In this atmosphere full of curiosity and expectation, "Latent" was officially released on June 6, with more than 3 openings, a box office of 1800 million on the day of the premiere, and a box office of 677 million in the first three days of the weekend. Summit Entertainment executives I was overjoyed, and immediately began to continue to publicize the theaters and increase the number of openings.

In the second week, the number of openings reached 2500, and the box office the next week was as high as 3600 million. The film was released for 10 days, with a cumulative box office of 5481 million, which is close to the previous film "Buried Alive", but then there will be "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "War of the Worlds" " is released, it depends on how much box office "Insidious" can take.

When Friedman called Wei Jin, he couldn't hide his surprise at all. He thought that a box office of 200 to million would be enough to make a big profit, but he didn't expect that looking at the situation, he would have to rush to break million. , you must know that the production cost of the movie is less than million US dollars.

"Wei, your decision is correct. The movie's box office is so surprising, and it has also brought huge exposure to Summit Entertainment. Next, we are preparing to distribute the movie globally. What do you think?"

"Your decision is very wise. You must know that movies with this kind of theme do not respect national boundaries. I estimate that the box office in other places will be at least 30 million or more."

Of course, Wei Jin supports the global release. This is a matter of increasing his international influence, and to make money, of course he has to make it all over the world.

"Wei, it's a pity that you can't come to promote the movie in person this time. You don't know that the North American media are going crazy trying to interview me."

Friedman is a little regretful. If Wei Jin were in North America, the box office might be even higher by now.

"I can't help it. I'm busy filming movies during this period. Next time, when "Dead Silence" is released, I will definitely come to cooperate with the promotion, and I will also bring new projects."

Wei Jin is also limited in his abilities, but without big-name stars joining this kind of movie, it can only promote him as the Silver Bear director.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li looked at Wei Jin with blurred eyes. This man's achievements were simply beyond the beauty's imagination. An excellent man is a fatal poison to any woman.

After a while, moving singing sounded in the room.

When the news from North America spread back to China, it also caused an uproar. Neither the media nor the companies in the industry expected that this young director would quietly go to North America. Suddenly, major film and television companies Companies have started thinking about Wei and Jin
  At China Film Headquarters, Han Sanping looked at the reported news with a smile on his face:
  "Let me write a manuscript and take this opportunity to raise the popularity of "Painted Skin"."

President Deng of Xiying even directly issued instructions to fully support the advancement of the project at all costs when the crew moved to Ningxia.

Fiber optic king Changtian and Bernard Yudong were also very happy. They were not very optimistic about this cooperation project at first, and they just wanted to build a good relationship with this young commercial director.

Who knew that Wei Jin gave them such a big surprise, a 20% investment share, which means that Wei Jin has knocked on the door of Hollywood, which means there is another big ship across the ocean.

Many domestic projects can go to Hollywood through Wei Jin's channels, and many Hollywood projects can also involve domestic artists through Wei Jin's connections. This is a big deal for major film and television production companies and celebrity artists. good news.

"Fortunately, fiber optics arrived early. I guess other companies are struggling now, hahaha."

In an office in Huayi Building, the Wang brothers were also discussing this matter.

"Brother, do you think this kid has entered Hollywood quietly? Is this reliable?"

There was a trace of doubt in Wang Zhonglei's words. He really couldn't believe that this young man was jumping up so fast.

"It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. The key is that he can really participate in Hollywood projects. Unfortunately, our two families have never had any contact."

Wang Zhongjun was a little regretful that he had not established a relationship in the initial stage of Wei and Jin Dynasty, and it was even more difficult now.

"I don't believe it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. There are still people who can't do public relations."

Wang Zhonglei began to wonder which artists in the company could come forward to win Wei Jin. If Wei Jin’s participation in investing in Hollywood movies only caused a sensation among major film and television companies and actors, then the news that came later shocked the entire Chinese music world.

On June 6th, the North American Billboard song "unstoppable" parachuted into the top 5 of the chart. After two weeks of fermentation and singing, the popularity of the song has not diminished at all. On June 6st, it officially entered the top 21 of the Billboard chart.

The Billboard Hot 100 is a singles ranking produced by the North American music magazine "Billboard". The list is also considered the most authoritative singles ranking in North America.

Ranking in the charts is determined by the sum of record sales and the number of radio airplays of singles in North America.

So for a song to reach the top ten of the list so quickly, you can imagine how popular this song is in North America. Scarlett Johansson, who sang this song, became famous in one fell swoop and was called the "Goddess of Victory".

“This song is full of power and passion, with a metallic voice, like a war song, and a passionate and explosive rhythm that pushes people forward, forward, forward.
  Scarlett Johansson uses this song to tell us that no matter what situation we are in, never give up easily. No matter how difficult it is, as long as we have courage and strength, we can overcome everything. "

This is the evaluation from an authoritative North American music magazine after an exclusive interview with Scarlett.

"He and I met at a dinner party at Summit Entertainment. He is humorous, handsome, and talented. He is simply a perfect man. We spent many wonderful nights together. This song was given to me by him. As a parting gift, by the way, he is a director, and his movie "Insidious" is currently in theaters."

In a TV interview, Scarlett revealed the song's creator information with a smile on her face. I can only say that North American women are really open and bold.

When they learned about the origin of the song, the media went into a collective climax. The major gossip tabloids had already written tens of thousands of words about the romantic encounter between an Oriental director and a North American actress.

"A love-making film from an Eastern director, popular throughout North America."

"The goddess of victory has her own heart, and the magical oriental director captures her heart."

"The story Scarlett and Oriental director have to tell."

"."

The sensation Wei Jin caused in the North American film and music circles spread back to China from time to time, causing a carnival of public opinion.

Compared with the major film and television production companies and actors pursuing Wei Jin's identity as a director, major record companies and music artists are even more eager for Wei Jin's identity as a gold medal producer, and major media have repeatedly picked up Wei Jin's information. After coming out, for a while, throughout June, Wei Jin basically did not get off the entertainment headlines.

But what is hilarious is the discussion on the Internet. Netizens are paying more attention to the scandal between Scarlett and Wei Jin.

"Wei Jin is so awesome, even North American actresses can conquer."

"This is a matter of bringing glory to the country, riding a white horse."

"I don't envy the mandarin ducks, I don't envy the immortals. I envy Director Wei every day."

"Am I the only one who thinks Scarlett's figure is so good?"

Wei Jin had no time to pay attention to all kinds of news. His phone had been buzzing in the past two days, and reporters broke into the filming site again and again, seriously disrupting the filming progress of the crew. As a last resort, Wei Jin could only hold a press conference and answered a lot of questions. After asking questions, the reporters were finally dealt with.

However, the problem from Sister Li was not so easy to deal with. Wei Jin had no choice but to take action and "beat" Sister Li several times before she stopped. So what should a woman do when she gets angry? Just a few more "beats" will be enough.
