Beijing International Hotel is located on East Chang'an Street in the heart of the capital, adjacent to the Great Hall of the People and the Municipal Government, and a stone's throw from the Forbidden City, a historical attraction in Beijing. It is a long-established five-star hotel in Beijing.

And now a celebration banquet is being held inside, with many reporters squatting at the door, taking photos of the directors and celebrities who are constantly entering.

There is also a banner hanging at the door: Warmly celebrate the box office of My Brothers and Sisters of 72.3 million!

Several reporters were taking photos and communicating:

Tsk, tsk, 72.3 million! I heard that the cost of this movie was only a million, so it was a huge profit!

I heard it has surpassed Jurassic Park 2?

Another reporter nodded: The box office statistics for Jurassic Park 2 are over, 72.1 million.

Great job. If it exceeds 200,000 yuan, it's super. After being suppressed for several years, I can finally have my own movie to rival foreign movies! Finally, it can give us a long face!

Hey! Who would have thought that we, the audience, would still be so obsessed with pornographic films now? I heard that several companies have already set up projects to shoot pornographic films, such as Dear Brothers and Sisters and We Will Never Divide, but they all want to follow Let’s have some soup!”

That also depends on whether their director has such ability and whether they have a big star like Wang Zuxian!

You think people can't think of it? There are so many celebrities in Hong Kong. If you can't invite Joey Wong, why can't you invite Maggie Cheung? Brigitte Lin? Rosamund Kwan?

But we only have one director, Wu Yuchen!

Reporters outside were chatting, but the hotel was also very lively. Not only the crew of My Brothers and Sisters, but also many directors and actors from the Beijing Film Studio, as well as the China Film Association, many people came to join in the fun. It was almost a crowd. Most of the directors and stars in the capital were beaming with joy at this moment.

I saw Han Sanping holding a glass of wine and walking to the stage with a smile: Everyone, let me just say a few words.

As soon as everyone saw the factory director Han Sanping speaking, they immediately fell silent.

Today's celebration party is to celebrate the huge success of My Brothers and Sisters!

Here, I would first like to express my gratitude to Director Wu Yuchen, Ms. Wang Zuxian and other crew members. Without you, we would not have this successful movie!

There was a burst of applause from the audience immediately, and everyone's eyes were focused on the circle centered on Wu Yuchen. Next to him was Wang Zuxian, both of whom were smiling at this time.

After the applause stopped, Han Sanping continued to speak slowly:

Everyone who has been in contact with me knows that I don't like extravagance and waste. Since I became the director of Beijing Film Studio, I wish I could break half of the money into two and give it to Beijing Film Studio.

Director Wu also expressed to me privately before that a small celebration is enough, and there is no need to engage in such a big battle.

But I have to say, today’s celebration banquet must be held, and it must be beautiful!

Over the years, our Chinese film market has become increasingly sluggish, and life has been difficult for everyone. Since the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters in 1994, our domestic films have been beaten to the point where they cannot hold their heads high.

But this time, the box office of My Brothers and Sisters exceeded that of Jurassic Park 2, which shows that our own movies can also work!

I said to Director Wu: This celebration banquet is not for you, nor for our Beijing Film Studio, but to encourage all of us filmmakers and to cheer up our Chinese film industry!

Here’s to Chinese movies!

After Han San commented, he raised his glass and downed the wine in one gulp. The whole audience roared with cheers and then thunderous applause.

At this time, Wang Zuxian leaned into Wu Yuchen's ear and said, You guys, Director Han, is really impressive!

Wu Yuchen smiled: Director Han is a person who can influence the development of Chinese films, so he is naturally extraordinary.

He can also see from this that Han Sanping is still only the director of Beijing Film Studio, but he has taken the lead in speaking out to boost Chinese movies. It seems that the success of My Brothers and Sisters will also help him personally. Maybe There have been some good reports.

Wu Yuchen smiled. This was also a good thing for him. Now he and Han Sanping had a good relationship. Han Sanping's future promotion would be beneficial to him.

Wang Zuxian came here specially for this celebration banquet. She is quite dedicated. After several trips to the mainland, I feel that although this place is still relatively backward, everyone is in good spirits and the whole place is full of vitality.

At this time, Wang Zuxian couldn't help but asked: Director Wu, I told you not to care. Why can our movie's box office exceed Jurassic Park 2? It destroyed the city in Hong Kong Island and the Bay Area. There is no way to stop the stronghold.

Wu Yuchen smiled and said, Don't we all rely on Sister Xiaoxian, a big star like you?

Wang Zuxian gave him a look: Hey, I'm serious!

Wu Yuchen smiled: I am also serious. It must be your reason. Of course, it must also be promoted, and the domestic people and Hong Kong and Taiwan still have different aesthetics in movies, and they have not fully entered the entertainment market. ; And then there is the opportunity. Our release coincides with the return of Hong Kong Island. The theme of you, a Hong Kong Island star returning to the mainland to find relatives, is a natural fit. It has brought us more than 10 million at the box office at least.

Wang Zuxian nodded when he heard this. She had watched both movies, and she didn't think her My Brothers and Sisters could surpass Jurassic Park 2. She could understand what Wu Yuchen said.

Wu Yuchen looked around and saw that the celebration banquet was just like a banquet. At first, the hotel suggested a Western-style one with a strong style, but Han Sanping bluntly said that this time Chinese films defeated foreign films, so how could they use a Western-style one? It must be done in Chinese style!

Wouldn't this Chinese style become a big banquet?

But Wu Yuchen didn't care about this. Han Sanping was right. The main purpose was to boost everyone's morale.

At this time Han Sanping also returned to the table. He put down his wine glass, picked up another cup of tea and said to Wu Yuchen with a smile:

Director Wu, I heard that you don't like drinking, so I'll drink tea instead of wine and toast you as a person. You helped me a lot this time, otherwise the Beijing Film Studio would be in trouble!

My Brothers and Sisters has a box office of 72.3 million. According to the producer's four-part accounting, it can be divided into 30 million. Beijing Film Studio accounted for 40% of the share, which is equivalent to a net profit of 12 million. This is not a small amount of money for Beijing Film Studio. After all, the family has a big business and has many places to spend money. This year Han Sanping is also begging for alms everywhere. The 12 million has greatly alleviated the financial problem.

Wu Yuchen saw this and quickly picked up the tea cup:

Director Han, you are too polite. Without the help of Beijing Film Studio, it would be impossible to achieve such a high box office. I owe my 70 million director title to Director Han and Beijing Film Studio for helping me earn it. !”

Wu Yuchen took a sip and put it down, while Han Sanping toasted Wang Zuxian with another cup of tea, and then said with a smile:

Ms. Wang, we have had such a great time cooperating this time. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with our Beijing Film Studio again?

Wang Zuxian smiled and said: Thank you Director Han for the promotion, but it depends on Director Wu. I have made an appointment with him to shoot the next movie with him.

After Wang Zuxian finished speaking, she glanced at Wu Yuchen. Now there were suddenly many film appointments for her in the mainland. She couldn't figure out what was going on in the mainland, so she simply used Wu Yuchen as a shield.

Han Sanping's eyes lit up: As expected of Director Wu, he is really quick in thinking! Are you ready for a new work?

Wu Yuchen chuckled and shook his head: This was a joke with Sister Xiaoxian at the beginning. If the box office exceeds 50 million, we will collaborate on another film. I just have a little idea now, please allow me to think about it carefully.

Han San commented: There's no rush, no rush, but when the time comes, Director Wu, don't forget about our Beijing Film Studio!

Don't worry, Director Han. It's hard to find such a good partner at Beijing Film Studio.

Han Sanping laughed again when he heard this and said: Director Wu, there are many directors from our circle here this time. Everyone wants to get to know you. I will help you introduce them one by one when they come.

After finishing speaking, Han Sanping thought of something again and added: It's a pity that Kai Ge is still busy filming his Assassination of Qin in Hengdian. Otherwise, we could have had a good exchange with each other.

Chen Kaige's working relationship is with the Beijing Film Studio, and he is considered a member of the Beijing Film Studio. However, he is now the leading Chinese-language director, and even Han Sanping cannot control him.

When Wu Yuchen heard Assassination of Qin, he was moved. It is said that this film cost 80 million to 100 million to shoot, most of which was contributed to the construction of Qin Palace in Hengdian Cinemas, which is equivalent to making a big contribution to Hengdian Cinemas. I have to say that the current Kaizi is magnificent.

But no one can gossip, because the filming funds were all brought in by Kaizi himself. Four foreign funds, of which Neon Capital accounted for the majority. Don’t look at the story of Jing Ke’s assassination of the King of Qin. In fact, the original novel of the movie script is By Neon Writer.

And although the movie failed miserably at the box office after being released in China, with only over 10 million, Neon had 800 million yen, which was 100 million yen at the exchange rate at the time. Although it was still a loss, I didn't expect it to be that bad.

However, it is said that those who have seen the Neon version agree that the domestic version has a lot of deletions and changes, resulting in a somewhat confusing storyline.

Director Wu!

Just at this moment, the voice next to him interrupted Wu Yuchen's thoughts. He turned around and saw a few middle-aged people looking at him with wine and smiles. It was Zheng Xiaolong, the Wang brothers and others.

My dear Zheng Xiaolong, these two are brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei. I wish you congratulations on the success of My Brothers and Sisters and for giving our Chinese film industry a voice!

The other party had a friendly attitude and did not mention anything about Wu Yuchen's previous invitation but Wu Yuchen did not go.

Wu Yuchen smiled and picked up the tea cup: I have heard of Producer Zheng's reputation for a long time. Desire, The Story of the Editorial Department and Beijing People in New York were all movies that caused a big sensation back then. , we at Miracle Film and Television can still take you as an example!”

He smiled again, raised his tea cup to the Wang brothers, and took a sip with a smile.

These three people didn't say anything about Wu Yuchen's tea. Didn't you hear that Han's three comments just said that Wu Yuchen didn't like drinking? Do you still want to force the celebration banquet?

Besides, they are here to form good relationships, so naturally they have to do what they like.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun smiled and praised: Director Wu, your TV series production is no less than that of Brother Xiao Long. We have all watched The Passion Burning Years, and in one word, I am convinced!

Zheng Xiaolong also smiled and said: Director Wu, to tell you the truth, several of us are from military families. Watching your Passionate Years is just like watching what happened in our own family. It is so touching. Yes! I heard that Director Wu’s father is also a soldier. We can communicate more in the future~

Wu Yuchen smiled and said politely: It's easy to talk.

A few people smiled and nodded and said nothing more. From now on, they have plenty of time to interact slowly.

After these people retreated, some directors and actors came over to toast Wu Yuchen and Han Sanping.

After a while, Wu Yuchen saw Feng Xiaogang, who was smiling with his front teeth bared. He came over with his girlfriend Xu Fan, bent at 45 degrees and said respectfully:

Third Master, Director Wu! Congratulations on the success of My Brothers and Sisters. Chinese movies will definitely flourish under your leadership!

After saying that, he drank a glass of wine directly, and then asked Xu Fan next to him to fill it up again:

I would also like to personally express my profound gratitude to Mr. San and Director Wu. Without you, there would be no Sweet Dreams for You of mine!

Wu Yuchen quickly waved his hand: Director Feng...

Feng Xiaogang immediately said: No, Director Wu, just call me Xiaogang!

Seeing him like this, Wu Yuchen followed him and said, Xiaogang, this has nothing to do with me. It's all Factory Director Han's decision.

Feng Xiaogang still maintained a smile: Director Wu and the Third Master have told me personally that if My Brothers and Sisters hadn't made such a huge profit from the sale, he wouldn't have been able to get 4 million for me. Then my first movie There is no way to talk about movies. If I don’t remember your kindness, I would be so heartless!”

Han Sanping smiled and added: Xiaogang is a talented person. I am willing to give opportunities to people like him who are brave enough to innovate. This time, I went to find Mou Zhongzhong to get part of the funding for his movie. Yes, the rest is indeed covered by the income from My Brothers and Sisters.

Hehe, Madman Mou Zhongzhi is also an awesome person. He is the number one swindler in China. The most others sell is cars. He was able to exchange a plane from Maozi directly! In the past two years, he has also proposed blowing up the Himalayas, tsk tsk tsk!

When Wu Yuchen saw what Han Sanping had said, he also smiled and picked up the teacup, clinking it with Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan.

Director Wu, you can do whatever you want, just take a sip~ Feng Xiaogang said.

Looking at Feng Xiaogang's appearance, Wu Yuchen had to say that he was really good at it. Outsiders might think he was licking him, but when he actually licked him, he felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

Many people despise licking, but not many people like Feng Xiaogang, who is willing to put his attitude so low and can master the proportion and intensity of licking, can do it. There is a lot of knowledge among them!

Although in the later period after Feng Xiaogang and the Wang brothers were completely bound, things were still in chaos, but his first few works were still very good, and he could indeed be called talented. It's just that his starting point is too low, so he can only choose to use this method to obtain opportunities and resources. It can also be seen that the low-level people are helpless and bitter when they want to climb up.
