Chapter 38: Fairly Satisfactory Box OfficeCountless audiences flocked into the cinema and were attracted by Yu Jinghong standing in the forest. I was struck by the beautiful and picturesque scenery in the movie. In the eyes of people who have never been to the countryside, the place should look like what is shown in various movies and TV dramas. All that remains is poverty and desolation, a complete absence of such tranquility and beauty. The audience from the countryside couldn't help but think of their hometown, wondering if there were sides of it that they had never noticed. The movie instantly ignited the entire Internet. Although it is not very developed nowadays, discussions about "Little Forest" can be seen everywhere. The most popular one was the quiet and strong heroine in the movie, and countless people began to look for news about her on the Internet. There are so many talented people on the Internet that someone actually dug up some information about her, such as that she had once filmed a Hollywood movie. She is also a senior of director Chen An, but she has never appeared in other works before. At least on the Internet, she has been worshipped as a goddess by the audience and is discussed endlessly.
The box office of the movie also exceeded Chen An's expectations. "One million, one hundred and twenty thousand!" Hearing Han Sanping's happy voice on the other end of the conversation, Chen An felt relieved. Recovery is no longer a problem; the first part can fully recover the investment and may even make a profit. The second part will be even better and make a lot of money! Han Sanping on the opposite side was also extremely happy. Brother Chen did not disappoint him. He made a lot of money this time. There would be no problem in making back his investment in the first part. I thought that as long as I could hold on to him, the Beijing Film Studio would produce more and more excellent works. By then, we will be able to meet up with Xi'an Film Studio. I have General Chen An who can kill Xiying! Subsequently, the publicity and promotion efforts were intensified, and soon after, media reports began to surface! 'The talented director of Beijing Film Academy has achieved success again, with a box office of million on the first day! ' 'The box office of "Little Forest" on the first day was million, and the heroine was regarded as a goddess by netizens! ' 'Director Chen An's new film "Little Forest", which changes his style, earned million on the first day. The unusual countryside scenery was very popular! ' 'The cancellation of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy has become a foregone conclusion. The new film by the talented director of the photography department earned million on the first day, a huge success!' '.' News about the success of Little Forest appeared in various newspapers and websites. Not long after, Chen An received a call from someone congratulating him! Everyone he knew called and congratulated him. Lin Dajiang also called and asked Chen An to take him along next time. Chen An neither refused nor agreed to get away with it. Among them, Jiang Wen and Ge Daye are more interesting. Jiang Wen jokingly asked him if he was interested in being the cinematographer for his next film since the pictures were so beautiful. Chen An said it was okay, but he had to listen to me during the filming. Jiang Wen laughed and scolded him to get out.
Uncle Ge also joked that he had been waiting for Chen An's script for a long time and wondered when it would end. Chen An pretended to say that he would have to come up with a great work like "To Live" before he could invite Ge Da Ge to come out, and then they would join forces to make a big splash in Cannes! Uncle Ge also smiled and said okay, okay. The only one who didn't call was his heroine, but it didn't matter. I hid in her house to learn English, and we used a big-headed computer to browse the website non-stop, looking for discussions related to the movie. Yu Jinghong looked at the comments on the Internet and was in a good mood. He decided to reward Chen An! Chen An was not afraid of fighting either, and he fought on the chair on the spot! "Can you take it off? It's a bit uncomfortable." "No, that's it, yeah~" "Ok." Seven-day holiday for May Day! The media's hype and the good reviews on the Internet. The box office on the second day exceeded million! Then it descended again. The film grossed over nine million yuan in total over the seven-day holiday. As the holiday came to an end, the film's box office also dropped by one million yuan as normal. Although Han Sanping tried every means to crack down on it this time, pirated DVDs still came out a few days later. However, two weeks after its release, the box office officially exceeded 12 million, which is considered a big profit. The box office fell completely, with a daily revenue of just over 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and only on weekends would it rise back to over a few hundred thousand yuan. Many couples who were on dates liked to watch this movie together. The market is like this now, the theater chain people are stealing from the company, and the people below also have their own tricks, so the box office has been difficult to increase. Chen An had no choice but to let it be. Since he was successful, Chen An focused on writing the script for "My Sassy Girl". This is a Korean movie that was popular all over Asia in the past. It can be said to be one of the few excellent classic love movies in Asia, and it is even more so in China. At least before "Titanic", China didn't like to shoot this kind of thing. Chen An has already written the outline of the script, and now it just needs to be translated into Chinese. Since it is an Asian film, Chinese translation is much easier, and Chen An likes Chinese translation the most! The deserter’s identity in the plot must be changed as it does not suit the national conditions. Chen An was not in a hurry either. He had to wait until after "Titanic" to release the film, so there was still plenty of time. He wanted to see if he could take advantage of the popularity of "Titanic" and break the 100 million box office. After all, the quality of "My Sassy Girl" is really not bad. Among love movies, it will be among the top ten movies in Asia even in the future! It is also regarded as a masterpiece in China! After that, Chen An planned to go to Hollywood to develop for a while. After all, it is the holy land for making money. Of course, domestic films must continue to be filmed, after all, this is our basic base. Going there is also a way to earn some dollars and improve your reputation. Chen An was looking for houses around the capital while writing the script. Now that "Little Forest: Summer and Autumn" is a huge success, all you have to do is wait for the box office revenue to arrive before you can buy a house.
Of course it has to be a courtyard house. Even though I have been jealous of it on the Internet in my previous life, I still have to buy it. Judging from the box office, it will not be difficult to break 15 million. Excluding the investment, it is still a profit after deducting the costs and taxes. The second part, "Little Forest: Dongchun", is pure profit after splitting the revenue. So Chen An prepared about one million yuan, leaving some funds for filming the movie, and he could take these out. Finally, with the help of Mr. Han Sanye, they managed to acquire a courtyard house of more than 400 square meters in an alley close to the center. The owner was in a hurry to go abroad and sold the house at a low price. Chen An can also move in directly and transfer the funds when they arrive. Moreover, the landlord knew Chen An and had seen his movies, so he agreed. After signing the contract, Chen An immediately transferred the deposit. He started calling for people to help clean up the house, and Brother Duan Long was naturally Chen An's best laborer. Chen Wei would not let them go either and called them all over. "Come on guys, I'll treat you to a good meal after we're done. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Chen An, who was moving with a few others, was talking happily to everyone. The owner of the house had sold his own things long ago. He kept the chairs and sofas, but all other household appliances were gone. Chen An could only purchase the items on his own, ask someone to deliver them to him, and then move in with everyone else. Chen Wei was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and said breathlessly: "We must go to Fangshan, I'm going to charge you a lot!" "No problem, why stop? Get to work!" Chen An nodded in agreement, but now you have to continue working. Chen An also called the two girls over to help clean and tidy up the house. Chen Wei worked hard alone, and after Duan Long next to him finished his work, Tao Hong took good care of him. On Chen An's side, Yu Jinghong couldn't do anything. He could only sweep the floor, wipe things, and pass water. Chen Wei, who was already exhausted, felt even worse. I swear to make a good meal out of Chen An, so I’ll order something more expensive! After finishing his work, Chen An made tea for everyone. They were all sent by Han Sanping. Chen An didn't drink much usually, so he took them all out. Everyone sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and taking a breath. "Everyone take a break first, and then we'll go eat together. Let's go to the Fangshan restaurant you mentioned. It just so happens that I haven't been there yet, so I want to see what it's like." Chen An was feeling happy as he sat in a chair and looked at the courtyard in front of him. I plan to plant something here later, such as grapes. It would be great if I could hang a swing here! Please recommend, monthly, and reward me. Please teach me how to trade with other authors. It's urgent (`)
