Let you invest, you support half of the entertainment industry?

Chapter 518 First Day 5.8

February 17th.

Xu Jia and others, who were still in Berlin, received good news from China.

"Monster Hunt 2" premiered successfully, with a box office of 540 million on the first day, breaking the record of "Fast and Furious 8" in China's single-day box office of 4.88 yuan.

This box office figure is an undoubted success no matter how you look at it.

And unlike the previous "Monster Hunt 2", which started high and went low, in this sequel, under Xu Jia's strict requirements, Xu Chengyi showed 100% sincerity.

After all, as long as you are a director, you don’t want the work you produce to be unsatisfactory.

What's more, Xu Jia also gave enough production time. This was also the condition he negotiated with Ali, which was to give the crew sufficient creative space.

This is not only respect for the director, but also support for the work.

Today, the results of this project clearly did not disappoint him.

Xu Chengyi's phone call came soon after. The other end of the phone sounded extremely noisy, like drinking wine: "Mr. Xu, thank you for your support. Without you, there would be no good results of "Monster Hunt 2". You must come to this celebration banquet.”

Regarding the fact that within Jiaxing, Xu Jia's attendance at the banquet is the criterion for judging the friendship between two people, the former scorned it.

But he didn't see Xu Jia at the premiere. He was obviously thinking about it, which is why he made the call today.

It not only means to take credit, but also has the idea of ​​deepening the relationship between the two parties.

As long as you can succeed, everything will have an extra layer of wonderful filters, and Xu Chengyi obviously feels that the success rate of his partnership with Xu Jia has been greatly enhanced.

However, Alibaba's group of business-oriented guys cast too deep a shadow on him. On the contrary, Xu Jia, who is a filmmaker, seems more humane, and he naturally wants to cooperate with the latter.

Xu Jia could hear the implication of the other party's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when you break the 4 billion box office, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you."

This sentence means that he predicts that "Monster Hunt 2" may have a box office of over 4 billion. In terms of his usual judgment, there will not be much difference.

Who made the first part of "Monster Hunt" have a lot of box office potential, and the second part has such a huge box office on the first day. As long as the quality of the follow-up movies is stable, there is no need to worry about not having 4 billion.

It can even be said that the movie series "Monster Hunt" has greater potential than "Tang Detective".

It's just that in the previous life, Ali lost its reputation because of what it did to make the data look good.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that after a premiere of 500 million, it only received more than 2 billion?

Not to mention that in this life, "Monster Hunt 2" is also produced by Jiaxing, which has the blessing of word-of-mouth that it must be a high-quality film.

Many families bring their children to watch the movie, and they make their choice the moment they see Huba. Those who are still vacillating later become even more enthusiastic when they see the words "Produced by Jiaxing".

This is the magic of Jiaxing's productions. They have left a deep impression on the audience with each of their excellent works.

Of course, the producer should have been hiding behind the scenes and not being cared about by the public.

This is also due to Xu Jia’s previous plan for Yang Tianzhen. Jiaxing’s huge navy and publicity channels promote the glorious history of Jiaxing Company day and night, and the release of every hit product is behind it. , Only then did the public understand the word Jiaxing.

After greeting Xu Chengyi, Xu Jia immediately dialed Yang Tianzhen's number.

"Director Yang, the promotion of "Monster Hunt 2" cannot stop. It must be combined with Jiaxing Amusement Park to allow parents to take their children to play during the New Year. Even if we don't make money here, we can at least increase the number of people and Increase awareness."

"Also, aren't we talking about offline industries with Hengdian? Let's test the water first with the fan meeting held by the crew of "Monster Hunt 2" to see how their organizational skills are. Then we will arrange for Yang Yang and Bai Baihe to go there. "

Xu Jia is well aware of the principle that ‘children should start from an early age’. This is the impression that Jiaxing should be established since childhood, and following the herd is the habit of most people.

When Jiaxing Paradise becomes one of the options for parents to take their children to play, it will be a success.

"Understood. Do you want to invite the actors from Xiangjiang in the crew, such as Liang Chaowei and Eric Tsang, to be supporting actors?" Yang Tianzhen asked.

Originally, Hong Kong investors were kicked out by Xu Jia at the earliest stage, but Xu Chengyi still had certain connections with Hong Kong actors and could still call on people to help.

It’s not that Xiangjiang actors have more appeal than mainland actors, but their acting style is indeed more in line with what Xu Chengyi has in mind, and the monster they play is weird enough.

That's right, Xu Chengyi's requirement for monsters is grotesque, not strange.

The former has a certain comedy color, while the latter is just the shadow of childhood.

However, most of the mainland actors' performances are quite satisfactory. They came from professional schools and are very good at acting monsters. If they want to perform weird performances, they are really not good enough.

For example, there are few actors who can emulate Eric Tsang's epilepsy.

"Yes, as long as they are willing, we can invite them all over. However, there will not be much reward for this kind of activity, so we must explain it clearly in advance." Xu Jia said nonchalantly.

It all depends on whether these Xiangjiang artists recognize their money or their people. If they want to get a piece of the Mainland entertainment industry, it is absolutely impossible if they don't worship themselves.

After hanging up the phone, he responded to other text messages sending blessings one by one.

Especially when the movie broke records, Jiaxing's limelight was simply blinding.

The popularity of the forerunner "Demon Boy" has just subsided a little, and before everyone could take a breath, the depth bomb of "Monster Hunt 2" was dropped again.

580 million box office on the first day, what is the concept?

Damn it, the total box office is higher than most movies in the world, not to mention the reputation of the movie shows no signs of declining at all.

I can't find any movies that are currently being released, and I'm panicking about movies that haven't been released yet.

For example, "Once Upon a Time in the North" was released on February 3, with Jia Nairang, Li Xiaolu and their daughter Sweetheart joining the family. The box office has not yet exceeded 100 million, and the box office will be cut in half next day.

It is worth mentioning that the heroine of this film is Ma Li from our own company.

It can barely be regarded as a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family no longer recognized each other. However, with the Douban score of 3.6 for this film, it was extremely bad. Xu Jia felt that being cut in half was a good thing, at least it helped the audience wash their eyes.

If I have to talk about the highlight, it is that the theme song "The whole world is speaking Northern Dialect" sung by Jia Nara in this film is really popular.

I just don’t know if Lu will still be able to laugh when "Hip Hop in China" produced by Jiaxing appears this year.

On the contrary, "Riding the Wind and Waves", which should have been released long ago, has been moved back. From this point of view, Han Han's attributes as a businessman are not inferior to his attributes as a writer.
