Time flies. In the whole week from July 9 to July 15, the box office receipts of "to our lost youth" in mainland China finally reached 82 million yuan. If only domestic films are counted, it is second only to "Party A and Party B" and "shining girl" in the lunar new year at the beginning of the year.
Then, from July 16 to July 22, the second week of release, with the further spread of the word-of-mouth of "to youth", the box office trend of the film in the next week was also quite gratifying, with another 67 million yuan, a total of 149 million yuan, surpassing "shining girl", and the other two imported films exceeding 100 million yuan in the first half of the year, jumping to the second place in the annual list.
Obviously, it is only a matter of time before "Party A and Party B" surpasses the mainland's total box office of 153 million yuan.
As the producer of the film, when the box office came out in the first week, brocade book and China film began to plan and hold a celebration ceremony. Later, it was determined to wait until it broke the billion yuan and put it in the second week of release. The final date was set on Saturday, July 24.
Or the capital.
This is Friday, July 23.
Mo Wuling returned to Suzhou a few days ago. It was only a week before he flew back again.
For the release of time like water.
Because of the success of "to youth", the main creators of the film have been hot in the circle recently. In addition to Cao Jingchu, a new director, who is a blockbuster, Mo Wuling, a screenwriter, has also become the object of close contact with many film and television companies.
Just a week after returning to Suzhou, the boss of a film company over there didn't know how to find out her trend. He came directly with a box of cash, 300000, or a deposit. He just wanted to buy a script from her.
Mo Wuling can only refuse.
After all, it is clear that whether it is "to youth" or "Chu Han", she can only be regarded as a ghostwriter. The original idea was put forward by a guy. Therefore, if he writes a script casually in the name of this, in case he messes up, Mo Wuling feels that he can't bear the responsibility.
The other party looked at the cottage three times and persevered. He felt that he gave face so much and Mo Wuling didn't give face so much, so he was annoyed. He blocked the door and revealed that he actually had a relationship in the road and had tattoos on his arms.
Then he was arrested.
I haven't done anything here. I've been detained for 15 days. My servant is still in the detention center, but I've sent humanitarian apologies twice in a row. He said he didn't know Taishan and barabarabara. He also sent the box of cash and said it was an apology.
Of course Mo Wuling didn't want it. He just asked the other party not to bother himself again.
In fact, anyway, as a normal person, Mo Wuling still feels happy and drunk with the popularity in the circle recently.
Just didn't get lost.
After all, Mo Wuling can calm down whenever he thinks of someone who can throw everyone in the world out of a solar system. What can you do by yourself?
In a small conference room at the CCTV Headquarters near Fuxingmen, Xicheng District, I didn't expect that director Zhao of CCTV, who took office at the beginning of the year, would attend the conference. Ren Jingxi, who originally wanted to bring Mo Wuling out to shine, explained in person: "all leaders should have seen the sample film, like water flowing through the years." It is definitely not a petty bourgeois love story between men and women that gives people the first impression. What is hidden behind the emotional course of the male and female protagonists, rich national cultural knowledge and anecdotes of the film industry is the discussion of the modern people's life attitude and the pursuit of the meaning of life. It also involves the thinking of the inheritance of national culture. It is a very meaningful TV play. "
In fact, because Mo Wuling's "to youth" has been a great success recently, along with her leading production of "time like water" has also become the object of close attention of many TV stations. If we only consider the maximization of the commercial interests of this project, CCTV is definitely not the best partner.
The problem is, obviously, it's not just about how much each episode costs.
Everyone in the small conference room basically understood this. Ren Jingxi's words fell. Zhao Taichang, who was unexpectedly present, smiled and said, "Xiao Ren, I also took the time to see the sample film. To tell the truth, it's really a good film. However, everyone also understands. Tell me about the conditions you are willing to give the play to CCTV. You know, I don't mean the purchase price."
Ren Jingxi was also impolite. He opened the door and said, "CCTV has two-year exclusive broadcasting rights. This is one of them. In addition, it is the prime time slot at 8 o'clock in the evening."
Zhao Taichang pondered for a moment and said, "two years is a little short. Three years, you know, we CCTV used to buy films with permanent copyright. Oh, I also know that the situation is different now, but two years is too short."
Ren Jingxi didn't insist too much. He nodded and said, "yes."
"About the golden file," Zhao Taichang habitually paused and said, "I can promise, but you know, it's 50 years of Daqing right away. In recent months, the play must not be available. Therefore, if you insist on the golden file, at least wait until the end of the year."
Ren Jingxi said: "this is not a problem. The later stage of the drama has not been completed. Coupled with the audit, it is just right for the end of the year."
Zhao Taichang smiled and nodded: "well, let's talk about the specific price."
Talking about money always hurts feelings, and this play, both sides have the meaning of connecting feelings, so it was finalized in a few words.
300000 per episode.
According to the final 23 collective quantity currently determined, the total is 6.9 million.
Such a price, after decades, may be the salary of a traffic superstar for a few days, but at a time when the average film purchase cost is only 80000 yuan, CCTV can offer a price of 300000, which is already very generous.
Of course, it is only relative to CCTV itself.
With Mo Wuling's current fame, he opened the bidding, and it was easy to break 500000 in a single episode.
However, in that sentence, the most important thing about the play is not the money. The core is a publicity of Suzhou Jinshu film and television city. For publicity, there is no platform with a wider audience of CCTV, not to mention a set of eight point golden files of CCTV. If you play a TV play with obvious advertising and marketing meaning, if you are more and more aware of various business routines after more than ten or twenty years, you may have to pay CCTV in turn to get a good schedule.
Anyway, the matter was finally decided very happily.
Then they discussed various details. Until noon, the two women were warmly asked by Zhao Taichang to stay for a working meal. Finally, they left business cards for each other and contacted more in the future.
The time to leave CCTV Headquarters is more than 1:00 p.m.
Ren Jingxi didn't explain to Mo Wuling why the new director of stage Zhao was very warm to them. Although Mo Wuling, who came from an official family, said that he should be more sensitive to this, it's just the opposite now. Mo Wuling likes to focus more and more on his small business, writing scripts and dramas. Ren Jingxi is more and more exquisite.
They got a new Audi A6 bought by Ren Jingxi downstairs. In fact, they initially wanted to buy Mercedes Benz S600, because Mercedes Benz models are widely used around someone. Of course, there are more expensive Rolls Royce and Maybach. Ren Jingxi didn't think much, not that he can't afford it, but that it's unnecessary.
However, he took his father with him at that time. As a result, he didn't feel necessary for the Mercedes Benz S600 with a quotation of 1.6 million.
Finally, the Audi A6 with the current price of 460000 was selected.
This is already a luxury car in this era. Driving out for business entertainment doesn't count. Ren Jingxi doesn't insist.
After Ren Jingxi's waitress developed into an assistant at present, Gu Yu started the car and sat in the back seat with Mo Wuling, Ren Jingxi asked, "by the way, where are you waiting?"
Mo Wuling took out a thick stack of information from his white Gucci satchel and showed it to Ren Jingxi: "look at the house."
Ren Jingxi had some doubts: "if you want to buy a house, well, move out of the hat alley."
Mo Wuling shook his head: "no, it's just that he plans to pick a house recently."
"That's good. I also said to stay with you at night. Take a good bath in the underground swimming pool. After spending more than half a month with the crew of huanzhu, I felt that the whole person was about to disperse."
Mo Wuling laughed and joked: "who told you to fight so hard? You can never make enough money. Why don't you go to see the house with me this afternoon?"
This brings the topic back.
Ren Jingxi asked, "since you don't plan to move out, what do you think the house is doing?"
Mo Wuling hesitated a little.
Of course, this is the little advice someone gave her last time, so there was some contradiction. They wanted to let their good friends know that they got the idea from him, and wanted to keep this little secret alone. Finally, the idea of showing off overwhelmed exclusive enjoyment and said, "he gave me advice that if I have money, I can buy more houses as investment."
Ren Jingxi blinked: "why do you say that?"
Mo Wuling looked innocent: "anyway, that's what he said. Well, it probably means that real estate is the best investment direction in China for many years to come."
Ren Jingxi understood, and then if he realized something, he suddenly asked, "to youth, did you get a big red envelope from the brocade book?"
Mo Wuling shook his head: "no, the films are still on. How can they be so fast."
About this matter, Jin Shu and China Film mentioned it to her last time when she attended the startup press conference of Chu Han. They said that when "to youth" came down, she would give her a big red envelope. She felt that she deserved it, or she would take advantage of it for him. Of course, she would not refuse.
Seeing that Ren Jingxi was still staring at himself, Mo Wuling said, "I have saved a lot of money in recent years. I didn't know how to spend it before. He happened to talk about it."
Ren Jingxi couldn't help joking: "he said you believed it?"
Mo Wuling asked, "don't you believe it?"
Ren Jingxi was speechless for a moment, and then said, "I think it's a good idea to invest in stocks recently. I also opened an account. Unfortunately, my father stared and didn't dare to invest too much, so he transferred in 1 million and tried to buy indiscriminately. He has made more than 300000 recently."
Mo Wuling bent his mouth: "I thought about it too, and then he dissuaded me."
Ren Jingxi came to the spirit: "what did he say?"
Now Mo Wuling sold the key: "I won't tell you."
Ren Jingxi raised his hands and looked like a dragon claw: "do you want me to serve you?"
Mo Wuling smiled and protected himself: "anyway, what he meant was that I didn't touch the stock market and said I couldn't afford to play. I think by the same token, you shouldn't be able to play?"
Ren Jingxi knew that Mo Wuling would not joke about this kind of thing. He tilted his head slightly and quickly made up his mind: "then I'll clear my account next week."
Mo Wuling still smiled: "maybe he can make money. Now the situation is so good."
Ren Jingxi came over: "in case of loss, it's yours?"
Mo Wuling rolled his eyes: "what do you rely on me to do? You're going to speculate in stocks yourself."
"Don't fry," Ren Jingxi became more and more determined. He grabbed a pile of information from Mo Wuling's knee, opened it and browsed it, and said, "I'll fry real estate with you."
Mo Wuling still smiled and reminded, "don't blame me for the loss, blame him."
"I can't reach him. I blame you."
Mo Wuling slightly tooted his mouth: "I didn't expect you to have such a rogue side."
Ren Jingxi did not defend, turned over the information and said in a resolute manner: "in this afternoon, if you go to see the house and see which one you like, well, if you buy one, help me choose five."
"Are you showing off that you have more money than me?"
"Of course."
Mo Wuling: "
Ren Jingxi suddenly smiled again, reached out and hugged Mo Wuling's slender body: "baby, when I get rich in real estate speculation, you don't think about him again. Come with me and I'll raise you."
Mo Wuling blushed and patted Ren Jingxi's little hand in front of him. He said angrily, "what are you talking about?"
