Chapter 44: Four Million First Week Box Office

In the evening, Wu Cheng took his three daughters to the Wu family mansion. Wu Mingquan was so happy that he didn't bother him. He put down the newspapers in his hand and called them to sit down and talk.

"You just treat this place as your home, don't be restrained. Many of our people are your fans and movie fans!" Wu Mingquan looked at them with a smile, feeling happy, and secretly cheered for his little nephew's eyes. "Speaking of this, I have to thank Azhi! When Xiao Cheng came to Xiangjiang, if Azhi hadn't helped him, he wouldn't know where he was now!"

"Uncle, you have to be polite, I want to thank God for sending Xiao Cheng to me!" Zhao Yazhi smiled gently and said, "If it weren't for Xiao Cheng, I would still be behind the scenes of wireless!"

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "I guess he's already married now!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhao Yazhi was very embarrassed. However, he felt that what Wu Cheng said was indeed possible. At the beginning, she had a good impression of Huang Hanwei. If it weren't for Wu Cheng's intervention, it might be possible that he might have married him now!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but secretly be grateful again, but fortunately he met Wu Cheng.

"Xiao Cheng is still young, you are all sisters. If he does something wrong in normal times, you can criticize him more. If he does not do enough, I hope you will be more considerate and considerate." Wu Mingquan smiled and said, "Of course, if he bullies you, you can tell your uncle, and your uncle will definitely teach him a lesson when he turns back!"

The third girl nodded when she heard this, but was a little embarrassed in secret.

Speaking of which, weren’t they bullied by him last night? But how could they have the nerve to say such a secret matter in the boudoir?

Besides, although Wu Cheng is a little naughty and a little childish, they regard him as the backbone in the matter, just like the one that happened today.

Even for ordinary adults, it is probably impossible to solve such a thing easily. But Wu Cheng handled the matter in two or three strokes, although he borrowed some momentum.

Also, who dared to start a company and shoot movies by himself at his age, and he really succeeded in doing it!

Compared to him, they felt that the career they were doing was nothing.

Gradually, Wu Mingquan's kind smile made the three girls feel relieved.

When most of the Wu family came back, they easily became the focus of everyone.

The Wu family was so happy to see these three beauties. Deng Lijun's songs were popular throughout Asia, and Lin Qingxia was very popular on the treasure island. Even Zhao Yazhi, the youngest one, saw them in the theater last night.

For a moment, the Wu family surrounded the three girls and chattered and asked non-stop.

Wu Shuqiang took this opportunity to call Wu Cheng aside and apologize to Wu Cheng. He was "preached" by Wu Shulan last night, and he finally understood Wu Cheng's status in the Wu family.

Especially when he saw the old man's kind attitude towards him, he knew how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. Therefore, even when facing the three beauties today, he did not dare to act rudely. He took this opportunity to see if he could repair his relationship with Wu Cheng.

...

After playing in Xiangjiang for a few days, Wu Cheng was reluctant to leave Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia, and the four of them ate and lived together... Of course, at the unanimous demand of the three girls, Wu Cheng was never allowed to drink more than three glasses of wine. Therefore, it was impossible to sleep together like that day.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia left Xiangjiang together, which made Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi somewhat reluctant. Zhao Yazhi could see that Wu Cheng had some ulterior motives for both women Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia, and of course, including her.

This made her very confused and wanted to make up her mind to leave him, but she couldn't bear to leave his tenderness and thoughtfulness; she couldn't bear to leave his truth and enthusiasm; she even more reluctant to leave her tacit understanding between them.

He is not the boy who understands women the best, but he knows what she needs the best.

When the two were together, they only needed her to look at each other, and Wu Cheng could almost understand her feelings. This tacit understanding of getting along made her feel extremely comfortable.

And this kind of comfort made him unable to make up his mind and even gradually sink into it.

Especially Ye Cheng's kindness to her was like treating her as a treasure in his palm.

In just a few days, Zhao Yazhi also regarded Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia as close friends, and she naturally felt reluctant to leave their departure. But they were busy with work, so it was their limit to be able to play in Xiangjiang for a week. Unlike her, her contract was signed under Donglong.

Even if there is a major contract on the wireless side, considering how popular Zhao Yazhi is in Xiangjiang now, wireless will not waste such contracts casually.

In other words, Zhao Yazhi is actually very idle now. She has to worry about life problems if she is not in the city. The rest is naturally to constantly enrich herself and improve herself.

Therefore, after Deng Lin and his two daughters left, Zhao Yazhi began to enter a state of learning, while studying the management of the company while thinking about acting skills.

On the tenth day of the lunar calendar, Wu Cheng received two good news, both from Jiahe.

The first good news is that the box office of the "Five Fortune Stars" has come out, with a box office of nearly 4.3 million yuan in a week, which has shocked countless people.

Because the box office is very close to last year's box office championship record. People cannot imagine that today's Xiangjiang will actually have movies with a box office of more than 4 million yuan a week.

In fact, Wu Cheng himself dared not imagine it. You know, it will be early in the 1976! If it was the 1980s or 1990s, he would not think there was anything strange.

But if you think about it carefully, you seem to think that this is nothing impossible. In history, this year's box office champion "Half a Cat" also had more than 8 million!

Moreover, there is no need to mention the quality of the film "Five Fortune Stars". A large investment of more than 3 million yuan is rare in Xiangjiang. In addition, its publicity efforts are also unique to Xiangjiang, and this publicity power covers almost the entire Xiangjiang.

In fact, the box office of a film often depends on the publicity intensity. The promotion of "Five Fortune Stars" is very different from the traditional publicity methods. At least now, except for the "Five Fortune Stars", no film has ever made a trailer on TV.

In this way, with this box office, it seems that it is not worth making a fuss.

The second good news is that Jiahe transferred the overseas issuance rights purchase fee of the "Five Fortune Stars", which means that Donglong International is rich now.

When the company has money, Wu Cheng naturally has to discuss with Hong Jinbao what to do next.

The first thing to do is to pay the previous pay for their brothers.

Hong Jinbao's brothers had joined the film before with zero pay, but now that the film has made money, they are naturally indispensable for the share.

At the same time, after discussing with Hong Jinbao, Wu Cheng also took out one million to distribute dividends to all members of the crew of "Five Fortune Stars", the most were tens of thousands, and the few were thousands. For many ordinary employees in Xiangjiang today, these dividends were worth half a year of their salary.

After dealing with all these things, only about 7.3 million will be left.

Then, Wu Cheng handed over the script of "The Miscellaneous Boy" to Hong Jinbao and asked him to make a budget. Wu Cheng estimated that he would use one million, which is for the sake of the quality of the film.

Of course, this time, Wu Cheng did not draw a storyboard script again.

Last time I made a little joke, Wu Cheng drew all the storyboards of the "Five Fortune Stars". As a result, when the crew members below often complained that Wu Cheng's script was too detailed and made some scenes that were actually unnecessary and had to be prepared.

However, some unsuitable scenes have to be looked for. In fact, these scenes can be replaced by other scenes, which does not affect the actual effect of the film.

Later, Wu Chengcai realized that the storyboard script was just a director who refined the script based on the story and combined with pre-selected scenes.

There are almost no one like him who has not started filming the movie and has not even formed the crew, but has drawn the storyboard scripts of the entire film.

After understanding the tricks, Wu Cheng no longer continued to do such thankless stupid things, but gave the story overview to Hong Jinbao. As for the action, it was naturally left to Hong Jinbao to handle. Wu Cheng had only one requirement, that is, the action must be consistent with the action design in the "Five Fortune Stars" and no longer used old-fashioned martial arts to perform.

Although other action and martial arts films are still old-fashioned, in addition to the "Five Fortune Stars", this is not what Wu Cheng needs. What they have to do is to lead the trend.

There is no big scene in this "Miscellaneous Kid". The original film starring Yuan Biao and Liang Jiaren, but Wu Cheng thinks that Liang Jiaren can be replaced by one of Yuan Hua and others.

Anyway, Liang Jiaren is not very famous yet, so it would be better to let people from his company play it! When I go to Shaw Brothers to find someone to help, I will not only be slaughtered by others, but also have to help others train actors. This is indeed a bit of a loss.

Of course, Wu Cheng just mentioned these ideas to Hong Jinbao. How to do it depends on Hong Jinbao’s own ideas. After all, he is the director of this movie, and Yuanbiao and Yuanhua are his junior brothers. I believe that Hong Jinbao will not leave opportunities to others casually.

When Hong Jinbao started to form a crew, Wu Cheng also began to form a company team.

Donglong International is still an empty shell. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Wu Cheng needs to be busy, and there are indeed a lot of things. The first thing is to find a venue. Wu Cheng handed over this matter to Wu Shulan for help.

Although Wu Shulan is not from the company, she is his niece. It is not difficult to call her. Moreover, with the power of the Wu family, the venue was confirmed in almost two days.

The office location is near the radio channel, not far from the two TV stations of Wireless and Li. It doesn’t need to be decorated inside, so you can almost work by moving in.

In addition to renovating a small screening hall.

However, he only rented two floors of the building. In his opinion, this was just a temporary office location. The company will definitely build its own cinema in the future.

The next step is to recruit talents, and the advertisement has been launched long ago. On the Thirteenth, Donglong International officially held a job fair.
