Chapter 209 It may be a hack
(Please order!)
"Well... how should I put it? Jiang Xiao is young after all. Maybe... you, you know, are full of energy."
"And he didn't mean to confirm his relationship with anyone, but...right!"
After a pause, Jia Jingwen subconsciously began to excuse Jiang Xiao, or she also meant to silently excuse herself.
Emotions are too complicated and can be affected by various factors. Sometimes, even if you know it is a mistake, you may still go down the wrong path. I really can’t tell.
Finally, after another thought, she continued to add: "You said that if we like someone, then there must be something that attracts us. You can't just say that you can like someone casually."
"And no one is perfect, and there is no one who is 100% perfect in this world."
"After all, we ourselves are not perfect. Anyway, I think Yuanyuan, you should follow your heart!"
"If you really like it, pursue your own happiness. If you really can't stand it, then give up decisively. Otherwise, no matter how much you struggle, it won't do any good."
After talking for a long time, Jia Jingwen didn't know what nonsense she said, and sighed silently.
"Oh, okay!"
If she could give up, Gao Yuanyuan would have given up long ago, but she was struggling because she couldn't.
Could it be that she really wanted to choose the former suggestion?
Thinking of this, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly thought about whether to take advantage of Jia Jingwen's visit to the capital to call Jiang Xiao out for dinner.
That guy, if she doesn't take the initiative, the other party won't either.
…………
Inside a restaurant.
Jiang Xiao arrived as promised, but he really didn't expect to see Jia Jingwen there.
It seemed like he hadn't seen this young lady in two years. When he first saw her, he felt a little inexplicable...a feeling that he couldn't explain.
Neither excited nor embarrassed.
No matter what, he could only pretend to be nonchalant about the "surprise" given by Da Meiyuan, and unexpectedly said hello: "Hey, Sister Jingwen, are you here too? I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Yes, Jiang Xiao, long time no see!"
Jia Jingwen smiled and waved to Jiang Xiao as if nothing had happened.
Before that, she had not expected that Gao Yuanyuan would suddenly ask Jiang Xiao to have dinner together.
Although I made some excuses like "Will Jiang Xiao be free?", I finally sat here.
After all, Jia Jingwen couldn't say out of the blue that she didn't want to see Jiang Xiao or have dinner with Jiang Xiao. That would be the same as asking for trouble, and it would be obvious that something was wrong.
In addition, it must be said that when we meet again, this person has indeed changed a lot compared to two years ago, not just in terms of appearance, but perhaps because he has become famous, giving him an invisible aura of stardom.
After these thoughts passed by, she changed the topic and said: "By the way, I would also like to congratulate you and Yuanyuan on their new movies, which have received a box office of 300 million, which is so great!"
"Thanks!"
"Love Is Not Blind" has indeed exceeded the box office of 300 million yuan, and has once again received 12.9 million and 5.6 million respectively in the past two weeks.
Including the 285 million in the first month, the total box office reached 303 million yuan.
Just last week, Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" was officially released and took in a box office of 86 million yuan in four days a week. The single-day box office almost broke the 25.2 million record set by "33 Days of Love".
Of course, there is not much competition between the two movies. After all, "33 Days of Love" has been released for more than a month, and pirated copies have been flying all over the place, while "The Golden Jacket" has just been released.
What really competes with each other is the unfortunate "Ink Attack", which has been released and the final box office was only 37.4 million.
Director Zhang Zhiliang felt unbalanced and had a dim sum mentality. When interviewed by the media, he said sourly that he didn't understand the taste of the current audience.
Putting this aside, Jiang Xiao estimates that the final box office of "33 Days of Love" should be just over 300 million, and it would be very difficult to reach 310 million.
However, this result has completely surprised him. No, based on a rough calculation based on the final box office of 306 million, after deducting 5%, it is almost 15.3 million special items, and 3.3%, almost 10.09 million tax is left.
Next 280 million.
Cinemas and theater chains take another 57%, leaving 120 million. If we continue to deduct the distributor's proportion, about 10% will be left, leaving 108 million.
And of this 108 million, 7 million will be deducted from the publicity fee. It was originally 2 million, and then an additional 5 million was added, so it became 7 million.
But Jiang Xiao suspected that there was a lot of moisture in it, but it was not easy to fall out with Hua Yi, and besides, he was not so evil that he could not accept it. Living under someone else's roof would always make him feel a little aggrieved, so he had no choice but to admit it.
In addition, the production cost is offset by advertising revenue, so there is no need to deduct it. Therefore, the revenue of "33 Days of Love" is only 101 million yuan.
By the way, I almost forgot, we also have to deduct 5% of the promised cap of 2 million for Gao Yuanyuan. The ratio is actually meaningless. Who knows, it has far exceeded the cap of 2 million.
There is also Jiang Xiao himself. Although he has invested in the film himself, he does not receive no salary, and the proportion is negotiated, just like Damei Yuanyuan.
As for director Lin Shi, he received a fixed salary of 200,000, which was already included in the production cost. After all, he was still a newcomer, and the opportunity to direct a feature film for the first time was far more important than the salary.
Now that "33 Days of Love" is so popular, needless to say, the other party has become famous and has become the new star in the director world.
Already favored by major film companies, Lin Shi, who was a little dizzy, finally kept his head and did not look at money. Instead, he temporarily disappeared from the public eye and was ready to digest the sudden and huge success.
In short, after deducting 4 million in salary from 101 million, it becomes 97 million.
This figure is the final net box office income of "33 Days After Love". If we compare it with Huayi's 28%, Jiang Xiao who wins the bet can get 77.6 million, which is a huge amount.
The remaining 19.4 million will naturally go to Huayi. Including the publicity fees, which may be a black sum, the net income will be more than 20 million.
This does not include other income, such as copyright income, or adapting it into a TV series. I heard that Huayi has initially made such plans.
Not to mention the intangible influence brought by a movie with a box office of 300 million, which definitely allowed Huayi to take advantage of all kinds of benefits.
It’s just that it’s not listed yet, otherwise the stock would have to hit the daily limit.
"Hey, how did you two find this good movie? Can you tell me?"
After congratulating each other, Jia Jingwen started chatting in depth on this topic.
"I'm lucky enough to have Jiang Xiao. He's all in charge, and he also found the script and story."
Upon hearing Jia Jingwen's words, Gao Yuanyuan answered the question first.
In fact, she didn't expect "33 Days of Love" to become such a hit.
Gao Yuanyuan didn't have any purpose when she stood by Jiang Xiao, she just wanted to support someone.
As a result, due to an unexpected mistake, I lost "Talented Man and Beautiful Woman" but got "Love Is Not Blind".
The former was released on the same day as the latter, and the final box office could not even catch up with the one-day box office of "33 Days of Love", and it didn't even break 5 million, which is quite tragic in comparison.
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I can only say that Jiang Xiao is well prepared. Come, let's pay tribute to your 300 million box office movie, and also to the success of you two."
While talking, Jia Jingwen picked up the red wine and prepared to clink glasses with Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Xiao.
"Thank you and cheers!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiao and Gao Yuanyuan naturally picked up their wine glasses and clinked them with Jia Jingwen.
Chapter completed!
