This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 515 513. Release overseas and head towards the top box office spot in world film history?

actually!

 At this time, many people had come to Wang Cheng's house.

When Xia Xi opened the door to Wen Yixiao, she felt a little regretful. She felt that she was a little impulsive and kept knocking on Wang Cheng's house. Wang Cheng might hate her in the future.

 After all, Wang Cheng likes peace and quiet, which is something everyone in the industry knows.

However, when the door to the room was opened, Wen Yixiao was stunned for a moment.

 Because, a lot of people have gathered at Wang Cheng’s house!

They are all familiar to Wen Yixiao, let alone Xia Xi, Wang Cheng’s assistant.

Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru and Lin Mi were all there. Zheng Wenzhong also ran over to join in the fun and was talking to Wang Cheng who was sitting in front of the French window.

Xia Xi glanced at Wen Yixiao, smiled and said, "Come in!"

Wen Yixiao nodded, said thank you, then walked in, and immediately heard Zheng Wenzhong talking.

“Wang Cheng, it’s rare for you to take a three-month vacation. I’m planning to take a vacation as well. How about we go on a trip together? Wherever you want to go in the world, we’ll go together! The Antarctic and the North Pole are fine!”

Zheng Wenzhong enthusiastically invited Wang Cheng to travel together.

Han Xiao smiled and said: "Don't listen to Lao Zheng's bragging. He is also a homebody. If you want to travel, go to the southern seaside. Go swimming, surfing, and diving. It's all fun!"

Zheng Wenzhong immediately said: "It just so happens that my family has a villa in Sanya that no one lives in. If you travel to Sanya, stay at my place!"

Wang Cheng sat on the recliner without getting up. He just looked at the sea view outside, waved his hand gently and said: "I'm not interested, I just want to have a good rest at home. It's no fun to travel so tired."

 Have a rest at home?

The people were silent for a moment after hearing this, and looked at each other, feeling helpless.

 Wang Cheng is such a homebody, and I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Han Xiao also said immediately: "That's good. It's not bad for you to see the scenery here every day. It just so happens that I have taken a break recently, so I come here to accompany you every day."

An Keru also said softly: "I'm also taking a rest, and I've been living in the Magic City recently. I will come to see you when I have time."

 Zhu Ziqi: "I have time too! I was exhausted some time ago, so I happened to take a vacation."

Lin Mi: “I just happen to be taking a vacation too!”

Wen Yixiao was speechless. It turned out that everyone was on vacation because of Wang Cheng.

Wen Yixiao fell silent.

Zheng Wenzhong said: "Why don't you come to my house tomorrow and I'll invite you all to have a meal together."

 He really wants to build a relationship with Wang Cheng and become friends!

However, Wang Cheng waved his hand gently at this time and said softly: "No, you can go about your own business and don't worry about me!"

 After saying that, Wang Cheng stood up, turned around, glanced at a few people, nodded slightly to a few people, and then walked towards the study, ignoring them no longer.

Several people looked at each other and were a little speechless. Except for Zheng Wenzhong, the others were secretly competing, but at the same time they felt very powerless. They followed Wang Cheng to the door of the study and saw Wang Cheng sitting at the desk. He picked up his pen and started writing on a notebook. He didn't want to be disturbed by others, so he silently returned to the living room and sat down.

Xia Xi quickly came over and helped Wang Cheng close the door, not wanting Wang Cheng to be disturbed while he was writing in the study.

 In the living room, Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, Lin Mi, and Xia Xi remained silent among themselves.

Zheng Wenzhong broke the awkward silence and said, "Guys, since Wang Cheng won't come, how about I invite you to have a meal with me at my house tomorrow?"

Han Xiao rolled his eyes at Zheng Wenzhong: "No time! I'm going back first and come back tomorrow."

Zheng Wenzhong laughed awkwardly, knowing that he had said nonsense. Without Wang Cheng, these people would not pay attention to him at all.

Sure enough, Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Zhu Ziqi and Lin Mi ignored Zheng Wenzhong and stood up to leave one after another.

In the following days, several people would come to Wang Cheng to report for a while. Wang Cheng didn't pay much attention to them. At most, he just said "yes" to express his understanding.

Wang Cheng keeps a regular schedule every day, as if he is still at work, wandering around the house without even leaving the unit building.

 This made Xia Xi, Wen Yixiao and others a little worried about Wang Cheng's condition.

Although Wang Cheng seems to be in good condition every day and as calm as before, this is not at all what a nineteen-year-old boy should look like!

 Even those 60 or 70-year-olds who have retired are not as calm as Wang Cheng.

During the period, Qin Yuhai also came twice. Each time, he only chatted with Wang Cheng for a few words, then sat and drank a cup of tea with Wang Cheng, and then left without any nonsense.

Wang Cheng did not show any obvious disgust towards Qin Yuhai, which made Qin Yuhai very satisfied.

However, although Wang Cheng disappeared from the public's sight.

 However, the discussion about Wang Cheng does not seem to stop at all.

The National Traditional Culture Touring Exhibition is still going on, and the second stop is the capital. Wang Cheng is still causing an explosion of enthusiasm in the capital. Beijing University and Shuimu held it for two days respectively. They still only accepted 10,000 people every day, and the tickets were fifty yuan. And it is still a real-name system that cannot be traded, which fundamentally eliminates ticket scalping!

 However, 10,000 people every day is a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of waiting spectators. Every day, there are dense crowds outside Beijing University and Shuimu.

 The popularity of the exhibition remains high every day on the Internet, and discussions about Wang Cheng’s works can be seen everywhere.

It seems that you can’t go online without discussing Wang Cheng’s works. But once you discuss Wang Cheng’s works online, you can immediately attract a large number of like-minded netizens!

 Under such circumstances, although Wang Cheng has disappeared, his popularity is still among the top three.

Magic Cube Entertainment still receives announcements and cooperation from several major TV stations about Wang Cheng every day, and they have not given up the idea of ​​booking in advance the first announcement after Wang Cheng's vacation.

 Early in the morning!

Shen Shenghui quickly came to Qin Yuhai's office to report the situation: "Mr. Qin, our cooperation with several major TV stations has deepened. They want to cooperate with Wang Cheng again, so now they have shown sincerity and increased their cooperation with us. We Its celebrity artists are busy with their announcements every day.”

Qin Yuhai hummed, not surprised by this.

Shen Shenghui continued to report: "Now things about Wang Cheng are mainly focused on The Matrix."

Qin Yuhai was stunned for a moment: "Yes, The Matrix is ​​still in theaters. How much is the box office every day?"

It has been a full month since The Matrix was released.

 Under normal circumstances, the average movie will be released for half a month. Only movies with explosive box office, good reputation and stable trend can be released for a month.

Shen Shenghui said in a serious tone: "The box office of The Matrix yesterday was still 110 million, which is a very small decrease. The total box office has exceeded 7.5 billion! If it continues to be released for the next two months, I'm sure , the total box office will exceed 10 billion, creating an incredible record."

Qin Yuhai's eyes widened and he stood up: "The box office trend is so stable? There are still hundreds of millions in box office every day? Who are watching?"

Shen Shenghui smiled bitterly and said: "Some professional media conducted follow-up interviews and found that more than half of those who are still watching this movie have watched it more than three times, and about a quarter have watched it four times. The number of movie viewings above is exceeded. The number of new viewers is barely one-tenth!”

“Many viewers are watching this movie over and over again! That’s why the box office trend is so stable. I predict that even one month later, the daily box office may still be 50 million.”

Qin Yuhai was speechless, and once again deeply regretted giving the film to Wang Cheng directly. Why were you so dizzy at that time?

Wang Cheng has been creating miracles before, why don’t you still believe that Wang Cheng will create miracles in movies?

The tens of billions of box office revenue and the incalculable future benefits all passed him by.

 Qin Yuhai scratched his head vigorously and sat down with a bitter expression.

But Shen Shenghui hesitated for a moment and hesitated to speak.

Qin Yuhai said in a deep voice: "If you have anything else to say, just say it, I can still bear it!"

Shen Shenghui whispered: "I received an email from Hollywood Snow Mountain Film and Television in North America this morning."

Snow Mountain Film and Television?

One of the Hollywood giants?

By the way, he remembered that Xueshan Film and Television bought the overseas distribution rights of Wang Cheng's The Matrix, and immediately asked: "Has The Matrix been released overseas?"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Well, it is also the off-season for movies in North America now. Therefore, Snow Mountain Film and Television mobilized its own energy and released The Matrix on a large scale. It has been in theaters for three days. They sent me the box office data for these three days. .”

Qin Yuhai had a bad premonition and asked, "How much is the box office?"

Shen Shenghui: "The Matrix was released in North America for three days. The box office on the first day was not high compared to thousands of theaters, only five million US dollars. However, word of mouth exploded, and the box office exploded on the second day, reaching Thirty million US dollars, yesterday was the third day, and it rose again to fifty million US dollars."

“Xueshan Film and Television will expand its release again today, and it will be released in Europe and other regions a week later! By then, the box office will definitely increase.”

“It has only been released in North America for three days, and the box office has exceeded 80 million US dollars. It has created the best performance for a Chinese-language film in overseas markets.”

“Xueshan Film and Television stated that they will form a negotiation team as soon as possible to purchase the adaptation rights from Wang Cheng.”

Qin Yuhai sat on a chair and stared blankly at the dark computer screen in front of him. He didn't know what to say for a moment. All he could think about was the domestic box office figures of 7.5 billion US dollars a month and the North American box office figures of 85 million US dollars in three days. !

How can it still be successful at the box office when it is released on a large scale in other places such as Europe and the United States?

 How much did it earn at the global box office?

 At least US$2 billion, domestically and abroad?

  Is this the pace to hit the No. 1 box office spot in global film history?

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Yuhai stood up and paced back and forth in the office with a serious face.

Shen Shenghui obviously knew what Qin Yuhai was thinking of, because he also thought of it and whispered: "Mr. Qin, this The Matrix has the potential to hit the top box office spot in global film history!"

 Once it succeeds, Wang Cheng’s influence at home and abroad will be unique.

 Because, Wang Cheng is not only the director of this movie, but also the starring role!

With this movie, Wang Cheng was directly promoted to an international superstar, and he was not the international superstar that the domestic media boasted, but a real international superstar.

An Keru, the female lead, may become a real international star by then and go global!

And Wang Cheng may become a peak that no one can surpass in the domestic film and television industry.

after all…

Other so-called great directors have a hard time earning more than 10 million US dollars at the foreign box office.

Wang Cheng is fighting for the No. 1 spot in film history!

 The difference is almost incalculable.

But.

Such works do not belong to Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

Such a terrifying Wang Cheng will soon no longer belong to Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

Qin Yuhai walked back and forth twice, frowning and thinking a lot, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh, then sat down on the boss's chair again, rubbed his brows and said: "It's a pity that I was blind at first. Now let’s talk about how we can get Wang Cheng to agree to cooperate with us on the sequel to The Matrix!”

Now, Qin Yuhai no longer dares to expect to get the copyright of this movie. Being able to participate in the filming of the sequel is considered a success.

Wang Cheng is not stupid and will not give away good things. Many other entertainment giants are not stupid either. They will definitely grab them like crazy.

Shen Shenghui shook his head: "Mr. Qin, I don't know, it all depends on Wang Cheng's intention. However, Wang Cheng is resting recently and doesn't see anyone. On the contrary, Mr. Qin can see Wang Cheng, which is very important to us." That’s good news.”

Qin Yuhai nodded: "That's true. I went to see Wang Cheng twice, and he said a few words to me and drank two cups of tea. However, I didn't dare to mention any business matters to him."

Shen Shenghui: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, the others don't even have a chance to see Wang Cheng. However, I heard that Wang Cheng asked Xia Xi to help him collect some things."

Qin Yuhai's eyes lit up and he asked: "What is it? Gather all our strength and help him get it done."

Shen Shenghui: "It's not that difficult to find. It's just some mineral pigments, as well as animal and plant pigments, which are all natural pigments used for painting. Although you can't usually see them on the market, you can find them with some effort. Find them in Xiaxi I have found people from the Xia family in the capital, and I also asked people from the company to help find them."

“Xia Xi told me yesterday that he had collected them all!”

Qin Yuhai frowned: "Wang Cheng wants to paint? Can he paint? What kind of painting can be done with these paints?"

Shen Shenghui shook his head: "I don't know. What Wang Cheng will do, what he can do, and what he wants to do is a mystery to everyone! Mr. Qin, if you have nothing to do today, you can go and have a look."

Qin Yuhai stood up and walked out: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Shen Shenghui hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow. He was also curious about what Wang Cheng was going to do.

The two of them went downstairs and got into Qin Yuhai's car and drove directly to Wang Cheng's home!

 After a while, we arrived at Wang Cheng’s house!

 Qin Yuhai rang the doorbell.

Then after a while, Xia Xi opened the door gently, saw Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui, made a silent gesture, and blew lightly on his lips with his finger.

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui were both stunned, and then immediately nodded to express their understanding, and then Xia Xi let them go in.

As soon as they entered Wang Cheng's home, the two of them changed their shoes and immediately saw that there were other people because there were several pairs of shoes on the ground.

The two of them walked in and saw Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, An Keru, Lin Mi, Zheng Wenzhong, and Wang Xueming all here.

 The table in the living room was filled with paint plates and some unopened boxes. Others heard that Wang Cheng was looking for something and tried their best to deliver it.

At this time, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Zheng Wenzhong, Wang Xueming and others were standing quietly in the middle of the living room, without making a single sound, looking up at the background wall of the living room with their necks raised in silence.

 Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui were stunned for a moment, then followed the gazes of several people to the background wall of the living room, and their eyes widened instantly.

I saw that the sofas that were originally leaning against the background wall had been moved away, and chairs were leaning there. At this time, Wang Cheng was standing on the chair, holding a brush in his hand, leaving a little bit of ink on the background wall. eye color, and other pigments.

 Obviously, Wang Cheng is painting.

and…

 Have been drawing for a while.

 Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui looked at the scenery that Wang Cheng had painted on the wall, and their eyes suddenly widened even more.
