Chapter 895

It's summer, and the sunshine in Ninghai is very hot

However, just across the street less than 100 meters from Zhongxia building, at the gate of a three-star cinema, enthusiastic fans have lined up in the sun, attracting several vendors to sell mineral water and umbrellas there.

"It's really hot..." Jiang Tianshi took his eyes back from the outside and said, "this team has been waiting for two hours, right? When we'll make a theater version of "boy of fire" and then there will be so many people to support it. "

He envies the popularity of "the magician at the beginning of the century". He has also made animated films in the past. However, compared with the crazy scene now, the popularity of the works at that time is extremely poor!

"Don't worry, the company will give you the opportunity to get a job." Dong Ding made a pot of tea and invited Jiang Tianshi to drink it. He said: "the popularity of" the magician at the beginning of the century "proves that there is a natural advantage in adapting long animation into a film. We will also try our best to make use of the value of existing animation."

The release of the new movie of Phoenix company is not good for Zhongxia company on the surface, especially at the time when "blue love song" is advancing by leaps and bounds, social attention will inevitably be scattered by "the magician at the beginning of the century".

But seeing the success of the film, many people in Zhongxia company are happy. In any case, the success of "the magician at the beginning of the century" will enhance the social impression of animated films, and Zhongxia company will benefit a lot from it.

"If the total box office of this film exceeds 3 billion, there will be a wave of animated films in the second half of the year..." Dong Ding thought so. He Xi expanded the animated film market for them in the front, and Zhongxia company is no worse than Phoenix company in the entry standard of this new market.

If the best way to make animated films is to choose a super popular animation adaptation, then the number of long popular animations of Zhongxia company is enough. Moreover, in terms of directors, voice actors, capital and technology, they have more freedom of choice than Phoenix.

Take the director as an example, Zhongxia already has sufficient resources and contacts to use. If the magician at the beginning of the century is successful, more and more people will come here. Maybe some Ding level directors will be interested in animated films - and their priority is naturally Zhongxia company.

Although Phoenix has good conditions, they have a delicate relationship with the film industry. When directors choose to change jobs, they have to consider whether they will offend the traditional film industry. But I have no worries about this with Zhongxia company, and the relationship between Zhongxia and the film circle is very good.

The same is true for entertainment companies such as dream of stars. When facing the success of the magician at the beginning of the century, they will be very angry. As soon as they get angry, they will find Zhongxia company to cooperate, and even offer preferential treatment on their own initiative, just like in the past, they used to let stars act as voice actors and handed over popular TV series to Zhongxia for animation adaptation.

"Second young master, do you think our relationship with Phoenix company is a bit like a game?" An idea flashed through Dong Ding's mind and he couldn't help smiling.

After drinking his tea, Jiang Tianshi was confused: "what kind of game?"

"Fight the landlord." Dong Ding filled his glass again and said with a smile, "Phoenix company is the landlord. We are farmers. The cruel landlord bullied other farmers, so they had to come to us to fight against the landlord."

Jiang Tianshi understood a little, but he was also a little confused. If he wanted to say that the landlord was the real landlord of his company, how could he compare the Phoenix company to the landlord? No matter how powerful Phoenix company is, its current capital can't surpass Zhongxia company!

However, Dong Ding didn't continue to explain his idea. This topic can stop at once. If shareholders know this metaphor, many people may be angry. However, this is the actual situation. It is precisely because of the "fight against the landlord" with Phoenix that Zhongxia company has developed so fast in recent years.

Phoenix company is neither small nor small, it has outstanding personality, one by one erodes the interests of others. Those who suffer losses will naturally cooperate with Zhongxia company against them, and in the process, Zhongxia company has gained too many benefits.

In retrospect, Dong Ding found that Phoenix company is the sun umbrella for Zhongxia company to survive. Without Phoenix company, facing the interest pressure of traditional industries, Zhongxia company would be the most painful one.

The capital behind Zhongxia company is abundant, but this abundant capital is also their weakness. Many shareholders are closely related to the interests of traditional film and television industry. When the interests of animation conflict with the traditional interests, Zhongxia's shareholders will not be so easy to speak, and they also need internal fighting - they want a new industry, but they don't want to destroy the interests of the past.

But now, Zhongxia company basically does not have these puzzles. This is because Phoenix company has attracted hatred.

In fact, whether it's Zhongxia company or star dream, it's because everyone's eyes are on Phoenix company. This reduces the conflict between Zhongxia company and others. In a word, Dong Ding thinks that Zhongxia really needs to thank Phoenix company."If there is no Phoenix, it will take at least six years for Zhongxia to reach its present scale..."

Dong Ding thought, and then he looked forward to the box office of "the magician at the beginning of the century" - he hoped that the higher the box office, the better it would be, which would make other people more nervous, and the more benefits Zhongxia company would have.

Maybe when they make animated films, the star dream companies will try their best to help them.

"But how long can this hot scene outside last?" Jiang Tianshi's voice interrupted Dong Ding's thinking. Hearing his question, Dong Ding couldn't help laughing: "I don't think there's any sign of weakening for the time being. There should be no problem if it lasts for a day."

"One day, isn't it possible?" Jiang Tianshi doesn't believe it. If it's so busy all day, the box office of "the magician at the beginning of the century" will not be in suspense at all.

However, that afternoon, the theater opposite Zhongxia building, just as Dong Ding said, kept the hot scene. Until Jiang Tianshi got off work, the audience in and out of the theater showed no sign of decreasing.

"Is it that good?"

Sitting in the car back to his apartment, Jiang Tianshi took his mobile phone to read the comments of "the magician at the beginning of the century" on the Internet.

"Good looking, super good looking!"“ I've heard about He Xi for a long time. After watching the movie this time, I'm not an ordinary person! For the first time, I saw this kind of reasoning film with juvenile theme, although it is a strange animation style... But it is different from the boring reasoning in my imagination. This film has a feeling of youth and some moving. There is no doubt that "the magician at the beginning of the century" is a good film

Although the movie is less than a day old, there are many topics on Weibo. In addition to the brand-new audience, the first to watch the first few films are mainly the old audience of "Detective Conan". After watching the film, many audience's enthusiasm for "Detective Conan" has returned, and they are excited to discuss the time of animation return.

Even some people can't help buying all the comic books of Detective Conan after watching the movie, intending to review the plot of the cartoon again. Of course, many girls are shouting "Kidd in the movie is really cool!" In that case.

Although there are many comic books about robbers, none of them is more popular than Kidd. He Xi's handsome robber has robbed too many girls' hearts, which is hard for other cartoonists to challenge.

"I don't know what the box office will be today."

Jiang Tianshi also saw a lot of people discussing the box office of the film today, but it's usually a guess of tens of millions of box office. Some smarter people would say, "peace of mind, one or two hundred million is indispensable!", But such people are rare.

"They also underestimate the popularity of Teacher He Xi and Detective Conan." Jiang Tianshi took a look at a movie theater driving by the car. It's still very busy now, and it's estimated that it will be even busier in the evening. This kind of scene, coupled with the high film layout rate, is not difficult to reach 400 million.

According to Jiang Tianshi's prediction based on his past experience, "the magician at the beginning of the century" has a great chance to win more than 400 million first day box office. The main reason is that there are no popular movies recently. The magician at the beginning of the century plays frequently in every cinema. As long as the audience is enthusiastic enough, 400 million is not empty talk.

"But the exact figures will be known tomorrow morning!" Jiang Tianshi put down his mobile phone. He stretched out and stopped thinking about it.

In this era, it's very convenient to calculate the box office of a movie. In fact, the release situation and the number of tickets sold in cinemas all over the country will be updated synchronously on the central computer of the cinema operators. Therefore, the box office results of the first day can be determined as long as it is past midnight.

And this evening, Meng Huo is also paying attention to this matter. After eating from the home of director Sasaki of Tokyo TV station, he went back to his apartment, took a bath, and then played the piano in the room for a while, waiting for the news to come.

"Haven't you slept yet?"

However, at 11 pm, Shen Jie took the lead in calling.

"No Meng Huo replied with a smile: "it may take another hour or two."

"I guessed, in order to wait for the box office report? By the way, I haven't congratulated you on the success of the movie

"Well, thank you." Meng Huo walked out of the balcony, blowing the evening wind and said with a smile, "I can't go to bed early for the premiere of the movie in the future. Even if I fall asleep, I think they will quarrel with me in the middle of the night..."

"That's for sure... But the box office of the movie should not be bad. My parents like it after watching it." Shen Jie said: "and Han Xuan, the four of them went to the premiere and said they were good-looking."

"I know that."

Meng Huo nodded. Shortly after the premiere, the kids sent him a text message, mentioning their views on the film."The news tonight will be very optimistic, won't it?"

"Of course, I didn't say it wasn't optimistic." Meng Huo nodded. One day, he and other directors were very optimistic. Bai Yan was not worried at dinner. The box office of "the magician at the beginning of the century" was not a big problem, just waiting for the specific figures to come out.

"That's why you called tonight?"

Meng Huo asked curiously.

"No, this is one, and... Another." Shen Jie hesitated for a moment, but still said: "the carnival will be in the middle of next month. I discussed with Alice before. After the film is released, I have to help her."

Meng Huo was stunned. It's not long since the carnival. Alice told him that Shen Jie wanted to help prepare for the carnival of comic island. It seems that this is not a joke!

Meng Huo rubbed his brow and said with a bitter smile, "why, are you suddenly afraid?"

"How can it be... So scared that it's just a little nervous all of a sudden." Shen Jie sighed: "can I really do it well?"

She's going to help Alice, which means that she's going to be Alice's secretary. Although she won't publicize it for the time being, Shen Jie will still keep her voice high. But this incident is a turning point in her life. After that, her life and work style may become different from before.

It's also a big challenge for Shen Jie to balance the work of voice actors and secretaries. It's normal for Shen Jie to have a wave of anxiety at this critical time point.

But Meng Huo didn't worry too much. He comforted Shen Jie and said, "don't worry. Believe in yourself. You can become a star even if you are not in good health two years ago. Now that you have recovered, how can a secretary's job be hard for you? "

He believed in Shen Jie, and what Shen Jie wanted was just Meng Huo's words. With these words, she felt at ease.

"Thank you. I'm much more comfortable when you say that." Shen Jie was relieved, and then a little happy said: "after a while, we can often meet."

"... yeah." Meng Huo was slightly stunned, and then showed a wry smile - after a while, he would have to face the competition between the two women more closely? This... Is quite a difficult thing to deal with

But when the soldiers come to block it, the water comes to cover it. Now that things have developed like this, Meng Huo can only put it aside for the time being, and then make changes according to the actual situation.

He talked with Shen Jie for half an hour, and Meng Huo drew cartoons in the room for a while. When he noticed, it was a few minutes past zero.

"How long will it take for the box office to come out?" Just when he thought so, in a few minutes, a phone call came.

"Meng Huo, let's prepare for the celebration banquet! It's amazing Alice's excited voice came from the phone: "as of zero, the box office of the magician at the beginning of the century is 530 million, which is the second largest film box office this year, exceeding all our expectations!"

What Meng Huo didn't expect was that the first day box office of "the magician at the beginning of the century" not only met their expectations, but also became the second highest box office of this year. Although we don't know whether there will be a higher number in the second half of the year, it really shocked everyone
