Chapter 133 The Premiere Is over, and Colleagues Are Depressed

In a movie theater in Shanghai.

The two lovers who were majoring in liberal arts were confused and moved.

It was very shocking. Although I didn’t quite understand it, I was moved by the love between father and daughter and also by the unyielding nature of human beings when facing the vast universe.

After a burst of applause, everyone slowly stood up.

The girl walked out of the cinema with her boyfriend. Seeing other movie posters in the corridor, I tugged on my boyfriend's sleeve and sighed, "I don't know why, but I think other movies are so meaningless."

"Me too."

“Let’s not mention the plot, but just looking at the pictures and sound effects, the money spent was well worth it.”

"The waves were really shocking."

"Hey, but I'm still so sad. Cooper entered the black hole just because he wanted to see his child again, but in the end he just let go of each other's hands after briefly reminiscing about the past. Time is like a wall. Even if we meet again, there will be no separation. for generations.”

"I don't understand why Murphy asked her father to find Amy?"

"Because there is no time gap between Amy and him. Cooper's grandson is also older than him, and he seems to no longer belong to this world. So when Cooper leaves, he takes with him the number one who is in the same world as him."

"Why……"

"It's uncomfortable. Not many people died, but it was very cruel. The son spent his whole life guarding the cornfield, but he never saw his father again."

"It's too cruel. Come on, let's go drink milk tea and go online to see what netizens say."

"I want to scold Director Chen for crying so hard that my heart hurts. It's so cruel."

"Don't call me Director Chen, call me Dao Chen. Tiantian Dao Ren!"

Staff from major film review studios also found nearby milk tea shops, Internet cafes, and even hotels to quickly analyze the plot of "Interstellar".

Speed ​​is popularity, and popularity is wealth!

Audiences and critics enjoyed it.

The mentality of my peers collapsed.

In the luxurious screening room in Hollywood, Country M.

As soon as the lights were turned on, everyone looked at each other with ugly expressions.

The director of City State Entertainment's Production Department was the first to speak: "His performance is too stable, and he will establish a company immediately, and he may take away some of the global market share."

He paused and continued: "We tried to invite him to join, but the price was very high but failed. It seems that he is determined to stay in China."

The head of the production department told the truth.

He wanted to hide this matter before, but after being rejected, he and everyone here have a community of interests, so he simply told the whole story.

An old man looked gloomy, "Based on my 50 years of experience in the film and television industry, I have a hunch that he may even pose a threat to Hollywood."

A young man next to him frowned and said, "Isn't that true? After establishing the company, he will have to be busy with administrative affairs, and his standard will drop. And what big waves can he make by himself? At most, he will make two movies a year."

"Isn't two top-level movies a year enough?" The old man glanced at everyone.

"I hope you all can go back and think about countermeasures. It doesn't matter whether you poach people here or send people to secretly learn the technology. No matter what, you must spare some energy to think about countermeasures. Otherwise...it is very likely to cause trouble by raising tigers."

"Ouch——"

Chen Xiao covered his mouth and yawned quietly.

I've watched it hundreds of times, and it's a masterpiece that also hypnotizes me.

In the screening room, the staff had already left, and just now a little girl ran over to him and asked for an autograph.

Now only a few leaders and crew members are left.

Secretary He looked happy: "Is the box office going to explode? Can it surpass the first day of "Titanic"?"

Chen Xiao was also a little curious.

Before "Titanic" came out, the highest domestic single-day box office record in this world was more than 900 million, which was similar to the 1 billion in his previous world.

For this world with backward literature and art, good movies can be described as a dimensionality-reducing blow.

Not to mention Titan, which is the second highest-grossing film in the world? Once it came out, it doubled the first-day record to just over 2 billion.

However, "Interstellar" is a science fiction film and has a smaller audience.

He previously conservatively estimated that the domestic box office total was 4 billion, the foreign box office was 6 billion, and the global cumulative box office was 10 billion. That is twice as long as the original world movie.

However, the money seems to be a lot. After deducting the share of domestic and foreign issuers, theaters, and taxes... you only get 2 billion. The cold reality is that this problem of dividing accounts can only be solved by establishing a film and television base and doing distribution and promotion by ourselves.

Having said that, this is a conservative estimate. He is really not sure about the specific market situation. He has to ask the production team about this.

Chen Xiao softly called the person in charge of the production team.

The person in charge turned around and explained: "Judging from the pre-sales, it should be able to break Titan's record on the first day. Firstly, Director Chen is famous, and fans and passers-by flocked to the show. Secondly, theaters have scheduled more shows. Come three..."

Secretary He asked: "What are you doing here?"

The person in charge scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Interstellar tickets are expensive. After all, we try to use theaters with high-quality equipment. The average price is much higher than that of Titanic."

Li Zhiming asked: "When will the first day's data be released?"

"Every night at nine o'clock, the data from 18:00 the day before to 18:00 the same day is collected. That is, tomorrow night, we will know our first-day box office."

Li Zhiming nodded and patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll wait and see!"

Seeing that Minister Li was a little excited, the person in charge cautiously added:

"It should be exceeded on the first day, but after that, there is a high probability that it will not be exceeded. After all, the subject matter has a smaller audience."

Li Zhiming said nonchalantly: "For a science fiction film, if it can set a new record, it will far exceed expectations! And even if the audience is small, it is much better than other films."

Secretary He echoed: "Indeed, I'm afraid the other movies will be finished."

…

"It's over! It's completely over. Can you boycott Chen Xiao?"

Minister Wu covered his face and wailed.

Defense broken!

This whole year has been blamed on Chen Xiao, should I let him live?

Minister Zheng had a bad temper, but after listening to this stupid teammate's speech, he couldn't hold it in any longer and complained directly.

"Old Wu, any zombie will starve to death if it encounters you!"

Minister Wu was stunned for a moment.

Zombies starve to death? What do you mean...

He reacted immediately, and the old man scolded him for being brainless.

He immediately sat up straight, his nostrils trembling with anger, "You, you, you!"

"What am I, I've said it a long time ago, don't make movies. Who are you to blame? But I don't think you need to worry too much. He only makes two movies a year. The audience is definitely not enough to watch them. Don't release them on the same schedule as him, If you don’t shoot the same type of movies, that’s the end of it, right?”

"But he will soon set up a company and mass-produce it."

"With antitrust here, we won't starve to death. All we need to do is do better than other companies, right?"

"It's better than other companies. You want me to apprentice with Chen Xiao?"

"Where did I say that? You obviously think so but you rely on me!"

Vice-President Wang stood up with a loud sound, turned his head and pointed at them and shouted:

"Okay! Shut up, you two!"

"Wouldn't it be enough to keep the subject matter far away? Xiao Zheng is right, don't make movies."

"Forget it about comedy, don't do it."

"Go...make cartoons! I don't believe that Chen Xiao can switch from making tragedies to making cartoons for children!"

Minister Wu's heart trembled.

I still remember last time, it was Vice-Director Wang who asked him to choose between social reality and family drama.

This time... I don't know why, but I still have an ominous premonition.

Minister Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I think I'll donate money and do some good deeds first. Nothing will be settled before that."

Vice Director Wang glanced at him and walked out of the screening room.

…

At the same time, the lights in the screening room of the Ministry of Culture were turned off.

The entrance to the screening room.

Li Zhiming glanced at Secretary He, then looked at Chen Xiao with a complex expression, "You should rest for a few days. There is no need to rush. If you can't make it to the Spring Festival, there is still the May Day holiday."

"It's okay. I've been resting for a long time, and we finally met once. Let's chat first." Chen Xiao looked at Secretary He.

"Okay, I'll leave first then, you guys can talk slowly."

After bidding farewell to Li Zhiming, Chen Xiao and Secretary He came to the nearby conference room and planned to spend 10 minutes talking about what Secretary He needed to do for the next movie.

Chen Xiao sent a document to Secretary He.

"I'd like you to find some martial arts instructors according to the martial arts types I marked."

Secretary He nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely find a top master!"

Chen Xiao continued: "As for the core team, choose from those who have been there before. People who are familiar will cooperate more tacitly. The best director of photography is Director Fang."

Fang Rong has good skills, but the most important thing is that he is very gossipy. He has a strict mouth, but his pockets are full of news, and there are a lot of gossips.

For Chen Xiao, who has just entered the film and television industry for a year, the news is quite important.

"Ok, I see."

The two chatted for a while and then left the conference room.

"Secretary He, these things are not urgent. Just wait until you get to work and find someone else. Have a good rest during the National Day."

"Director Chen, you're welcome. I'll try to get in touch before the 10th. I guess many people from your team are willing to come. It must be very simple."

The two chatted and walked towards the parking lot.

"Director Chen, the Internet is probably full of discussions about "Interstellar", right?"

"I guess so."

Chen Xiao answered casually, and as he spoke, he pressed the key to unlock the car.

Online... Speaking of which, it’s time for Reporter Xia’s interview video to be released on the official account of the movie channel, right?

Public opinion is expected to ferment quickly.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with him.

Publicity was under the control of the production team, and he wanted to go home and sleep.

What he didn't expect was that this time he really had a lot to do with him, and even directly changed the young man's name for him.

"Director Chen" will soon be labeled as "Chen Dao", and will evolve into "Chen Dao"...
