Chapter 879 Extra 20: Breaking Billion and the Final Choice!That night, Xiao Weizhe slept in the middle, and Fan Xiaopang kept Chen An behind.
The little guy curled up in the quilt and fell asleep early.
Just when Chen An put down his phone and was about to go to bed.
A strand of hair brushed his face.
"Elbow, change rooms with me."
Fat Fan whispered into his ear.
Moreover, he had already touched Chen An's leg first, and wanted to start changing gears directly, impatiently.
In the dim night, Chen An could see her captivating eyes and feel her hot breath in his ears.
What kind of cadres can withstand such a test?
Get up, go out, and close the door.
The two began to mark the battlefield.
The lively Spring Festival is over and people are returning to work across the country.
Box office revenue began to drop sharply again.
"The Battle of Changjin Lake" has grossed 16 billion yuan in box office after 38 days of release!
It's not as good as the previous one, but it's still 5 million away from breaking the 100 billion box office.
Distribution companies such as Lightyear and Bernard added fuel to the fire.
The delay key goes directly to May 5th, providing enough screening time!
It is bound to get a box office of over 43 billion and break the total box office of 100 billion!
And now the box office has made several production companies earn a lot of money!
The box office share that Light Year alone can get is over 11 billion!
After deducting the investment, the revenue is still hundreds of millions, not to mention that the cinema chain also made a huge profit.
The success of the film is unquestionable.
The movie has already held a celebration party, and Yu Dong wants to save the subsequent celebration for after the box office breaks 10 billion. Chen An thinks this is a good idea.
After the Chinese New Year, several major companies under its control resumed work.
In the reception room of Light Year Pictures, Chen An sat in his office chair, spinning comfortably, holding a script in his hand.
After reading it, I couldn't help but laugh: "I often sigh that the preferential treatment and investment in Lightyear's directors have led to today's results, which has made many directors willing to come to me with script projects."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man sitting in front of her.
A man wearing a baseball cap, with a pointed chin, who looks pretty good but a bit greasy, named Chen Sicheng.
Compared with his original glory, as a first-line domestic director who had his own school and could move among capital, his opponents are now in a bit of a plight.
After I took away the "Detective Chinatown" series, it is completely incomparable to my previous life.
Everyone sitting in front of Chen An seemed very reserved.
And this project, "Her Disappearance", which should have been completed long ago, has now been delivered to me.
Chen Sicheng rubbed his trousers around his knees nervously and laughed awkwardly: "That's right, that's why I came to you, Director Chen."
"I wonder what you think?"
"Not bad." Chen An nodded: "Except for those deliberately mysterious scene descriptions, it can be said to be a good commercial script, and the adaptation is also very good."
I have to say, the other party likes to pretend, and it's very obvious.
But things like the underwater starry sky that are flashy and useless, or even seemingly unnecessary and mysterious, can indeed touch the hearts of ordinary audiences.
At least he is on the same channel as most of the viewers.
The other party does have talent.
"The project is fine, you don't have to worry."
"Haha, I am a little excited. After all, I am talking to you, Director Chen."
"I just thought you were complimenting me."
Chen An smiled and didn't take it too seriously. He was determined to carry out the project.
It's a good project. I forgot to grab it at first, but since the other party gave it to me, it's not bad.
Putting the script on the table in front of him and tapping it, Chen An continued, "Is it okay for you to direct it?"
"Ok, Ok!"
Chen Sicheng immediately nodded and agreed. He would definitely seize such an opportunity.
In his previous life, he was just a producer, not much different from a director, but he didn’t lack that much reputation. With the “Tang Detective” series in hand, he is one of the top directors in China.
"I've taken the script to the company to make a budget. By the way, have you got the copyright?"
Chen An suddenly asked, if he adapted the work but didn't get the copyright, he would not be able to afford the shame if he was found to have plagiarized.
Chen Sicheng smiled sheepishly: "Not yet, I've thought of the script first."
What it means is that it hasn't been bought yet, and Chen An doesn't care. It won't cost much to acquire it, and it's better to say it out loud than to say it when the filming has started or the movie is released.
"How about I give you 15% of the share, script + directing, and I'll take care of the rest?"
Chen An still had high hopes for the other party, and thought it would be good to be able to build a relationship, so he offered a slightly higher price.
It is higher than Guo Fan's, but it is understandable. After all, in terms of investment amount, this movie cannot be compared with "The Wandering Earth".
Hearing such a high share, Chen Sicheng nodded happily and said, "No problem, I don't even need the director's fee, as long as Director Chen gives me a chance!"
He came here with the script, intending to surrender.
It would be even better if you could join Lightyear, they are well-known in the industry and very nice to directors!
The other party gave such a high offer, which showed that they were quite optimistic about me. I was extremely happy.
Chen An nodded. "That's settled. Sign the contract tomorrow and bring your people with you. I'll start making a budget and then coordinate with you on the project."
"No problem, Director Chen. I promise to be waiting downstairs on time tomorrow."
"That's not necessary. Just sit upstairs and I'll let you know when I get there."
Chen An waved his hand, he didn't arrive that early.
After talking for a while and making things clear, Chen Sicheng thanked him and went back in a hurry, probably preparing to leave.
Shortly after the other party left, Chen An drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, asked someone to clean up, and went to the screenwriter department.
I looked at the script process.
It would have been better if I hadn't gone. Once I went, the two groups started arguing again and I had to flee in panic.
The next day, after arriving at the company in the morning, I finalized the project contract with Chen Sicheng.
Once the budget is out, the project can be officially launched.
The male lead will still be Zhu Yilong, and the others are tentatively decided and will be interviewed or invited when the time comes.
The company is not interested in selling it anymore.
On March 3, more than a month after its release, the box office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" officially plummeted.
But today, the box office officially exceeded 43 billion!
The total box office of the two parts of "Changjin Lake" exceeded 10 billion!
At the movie studio owned by Yu Bernard, several major producers and the main creative team smashed the ice sculpture engraved with 10 billion!
The scene warmly celebrated the total box office exceeding 10 billion!
It has become a series of movies with the second highest domestic box office after "Detective Chinatown"!
The latter won unfairly with three opponents and two, but it was still a win. No matter what, this project with the highest investment in the country was a huge success!
A certain director was fleeced by Chen An, and the "Fengshen" series disappeared.
It doesn’t matter if there is none, it’s not a good project anyway.
Not long after the celebration, Chen An finally made a decision.
A choice was made in a project that the company had been writing for a long time.
“Prepare a budget.”
Chen An glanced at Yi Wenhua and said.
Yi Wenhua cheered with a bubbling look of joy: "I was right, the Three Kingdoms is more suitable, this project has great potential!"
Chen An waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, it's just that he needs to be polished."
"Old Feng, keep writing and get the project done."
I also comforted Feng Yijing.
His final choice was still "Yellow Turban".
On the one hand, the script is more complete, and it is also much simpler and easier to write, so it is more complete.
The difficulty of the two scripts is not the same.
