Chapter 256 Looking Forward to 2003

February 11, early morning. Sacred Heart Film and Television Company, Dai Anmin's office is still brightly lit. Dai Anmin sat behind his desk, smoking one by one, very calm, neither depressed nor angry.

And Wang Cheng sat on the sofa and drank tea one cup after another. Occasionally, I looked up at the man behind the desk and quickly turned my eyes away.

12 o'clock at night. Dai Anmin looked at the watch and said calmly, "I think the box office of Journey to the West has surpassed us now!"

Wang Cheng nodded and said lightly, "What is expected."

Dai Anmin smiled contemptuously and said, "But you really shouldn't write film reviews for them!"

Wang Cheng also laughed: "Since you can't stop it, why don't you sell a favor!" After all, making a movie is not a confrontation between the two armies. It must be a life-and-death battle. As long as the price is right, nothing can't be cooperated.

Dai Anmin said helplessly, "I want to cooperate with Zhang Duo, but he has never had that idea."

"It's not the right time!" Wang Cheng sighed and said, "I really didn't expect you to like Journey to the West, which is more than I have watched."

During this period, Wang Cheng watched Journey to the West three times, while Dai Anmin secretly went to the cinema five times. This is also the reason why Wang Cheng dares to write a film review for Journey to the West after painting in the Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, a boss who doesn't like Journey to the West must be convicted of compassing with the enemy.

When Dai Anmin heard this, his face darken. Obviously, he remembered some sad past events and sighed: "Every man will have a purple fairy at the bottom of his heart. Unfortunately, when he was the supreme treasure, he did not have the ability to marry. When he was wearing a golden robe and stepping on the seven-colored clouds, the man was gone. Growth requires a price!"

Wang Cheng has not talked to Dai Anmin about each other's privacy, so he does not know the reason why Dai Anmin is sad. But there is also a "Zixia Fairy" in his heart, a woman he can't get.

A Journey to the West, some people see funny, some people see sadness. Some people see love and some people see growth. Some people see the power of the secular world, and some people see the disillusionment of ideals. It seems that everyone can benefit from it, and Zhang Duo and others can benefit from it.

In the morning, an employee sent the Songjiang Morning News to Dai Anmin. He took it and his eyelids jumped up. Because the front page headline of Songjiang Morning News published the latest box office results of "Journey to the West", 3009 million, 2 million more than the final mainland box office of "Daunting Heavenly Palace". The most important thing is that according to the current number of films and attendance, the release time of Journey to the West is likely to be as long as two months.

"Anmin, we still have a global market, and "Journey to the West" will be released again in Hong Kong and Taiwan at most. It's not comparable to The Haunted Heavenly Palace. We are still the world's highest-grossing domestic film. Wang Cheng persuaded him.

Dai Anmin threw down the newspaper and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I was still won by that boy. Oh, I'm afraid it's God's will!"

After the information of Songjiang Morning Post came out, major domestic newspapers, magazines and TV stations reprinted it one after another. Although it was a little unexpected, more people took it for granted. Because many people in the film and television industry have seen Journey to the West more than once. Who let the world crack down on piracy and let them not watch pirated CDs?

"Big news, "Havoc in Heaven" ranked second, and "Journey to the West" became the highest-grossing Chinese film in the mainland."

"The film with 80 million investment was defeated by the film with 80 million investment."

"Journey to the West, a landmark work of Chinese films."

"Zhang Duo won the title of honorary professor of Beijing Film and Television Academy and will start classes to explain postmodernism

In newspapers and magazines, true and false news is flying all over the world, which can be said. Some people question how Zhang Duo, a senior high school student who usually doesn't even attend classes, can become an honorary professor of the Beijing Film and Television Academy.

And Zhang Duo ignored these. Media interviews were also rejected. Even the celebration of Wanbang Film and Television, Zhang Duo did not attend, because he was going to fly to Xixia City to see Ning Daier.

Although Song Siwei and Jin Yutang are dissatisfied with Zhang Duo's behavior, it is hard to say anything. Because Zhang Duo is not a high-profile person and can make Song Siwei or Jin Yutang rise, he never shows up.

Although Zhang Duo is not here, the atmosphere of Wanbang Film and Television's celebration is still very high, and none of the crew members of A Chinese Odyssey do not drink too much. Everyone is very happy, because they know that even a small supporting role in the play will leave a deep impression on the audience.

There is no need to mention the second head, as well as the blind man, the Bodhi ancestor, the Tang monk, and the iron fan princess. The actors of these characters are well known by the domestic audience because of Journey to the West, and their value has soared.

As for Song Siwei and Jin Yutang, not to mention, the release time of "Journey to the West" may be as long as two months, and the happy saliva is about to flow out. The public release time of "Journey to the West" finally reached two months, and it was painted on April 11. The cumulative box office of 405 million, which failed to reach 500 million, which made Song Siwei and Jin Yutang feel quite regrettable.

On the plane, Zhang Duo was thinking about the plan for 2003. Since the post-production of Journey to the West was completed, Zhang Duo has basically stopped his film and television work. However, when Emperor Yongzheng premiered, he attended the promotional variety show.

CCTV regrets that the ratings of "Emperor Yongzheng" only reached 27 points, and finally failed to achieve the viewing target of breaking 30 points.

What is even more frustrating for them is that since the arrival of 2003, the ratings of both CCTV and local satellite TV have declined sharply. The Legend of the Marshal, elaborately produced by Fengtian Satellite TV, ended up with only eleven ratings. Although the results are very good, it is much worse than Fengtian Satellite TV's original expected viewing target, let alone compared with Shanghai Beach.

Some analysts believe that it was the strong release of "The Heavenly Palace" and "Journey to the West" that caused the decline in the number of viewers of TV series. Some people also believe that it is caused by the prosperity of local satellite TV and the rise of online dramas.

But for that reason, the decline in ratings has not increased. So much so that for a long time, the ratings of CCTV's prime film and television dramas have been difficult to reach 12 points. As for local satellite TV, it is only three or five points that operate well. Dramas such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Shanghai Beach" in 2002, which caused tens of thousands of people with ratings of 30 or 40 points, seemed to have disappeared at once and become a legend.

At this time, the senior officials of Songjiang Satellite TV and Oriental Satellite TV miss Zhang Duo more and more, and miss the year of 2002 full of glory and miracles.

Zhang Duo has long had a plan for the 2003 plan. Although I think that knowledge can no longer change fate, I still have to go to college. Therefore, Zhang Duo plans to study at ease in the first half of this year, no longer care about Wanbang Film and Television, and wait until after the college entrance examination.

The focus of career can be transferred to the novel. After all, there is too much conflict between film and television dramas and study, but novel writing is much better. Writing more and writing less every day is between his thoughts, and there is no pressure.

Another point is that the Bincheng Cultural Bureau has just issued a notice that the "anti-three vulgar" working group has lifted the ban on the prohibition of serialization of Those Things in the Ming Dynasty. It is believed that this novel is humorous and popular, but it is out of history and does not belong to the "three vulgars" and has been officially lifted.

Zhang Duo scoffed at this statement. It took nearly a year to come to the conclusion that it is not vulgar. What is the efficiency?

However, since the ban has been lifted, Zhang Duo naturally wants to continue to publish this book, but it is no longer in the form of serialization, but directly publishes the book. After all, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has become famous, and many readers are waiting for it.

After getting off the plane, a car rental company drove the car to the airport. Zhang Duo is not used to taking a taxi now, and he still thinks it's better to drive to Ning Dai's house.

At this moment, an uninvited guest is visiting Ning Daier's home. Mr. Ning, Ms. Xia, think about it carefully. The salary of one million yuan is not low. A man with a treacherous face said.

Ning Wenyu sneered and said, "Director Hu, you'd better go. Our Daier won't sign in to your play. She still has to prepare for the college entrance examination."

The man who claimed to be Director Hu said with a smile, "Ms. Xia, that's not what you said in front of Director Liu!"

Xia Xue said awkwardly, "Director Hu, I'm really sorry. Lao Ning has the final say in our family's affairs. Besides, our Daier doesn't plan to go to the entertainment industry. Xia Xue smiled, but scolded Director Hu to death in her heart.

Director Hu is the director of a film and television company in Xixia City. After seeing the hot release of Journey to the West, he came up with Ning Daier's idea. His idea is to sign Ning Daier first. Then use Ning Daier's name to find an investment. When the director, actors and funds are all available, there is still time to find the script.

Director Hu has something to do with Deputy Director Liu of Xia Xue's unit. Although Xia Xue is unwilling and it is not easy to refuse directly in front of the leader, there is the Ning family. I just didn't expect that Director Hu was like a cowhide candy. He was so brazen that he couldn't get rid of him. He came to the door again and again, but he was very determined. For Director Liu's sake, Xia Xue's family can't say anything too heavy. They are really annoyed.

"Director Hu, we Daier really can't sign your play, because she has signed with Zhang Duo's Wanbang Company." Ning Wenyu lied.

"Mr. Ning, you don't have to lie to me. If you sign it to Zhang Duo, can you show me the contract? Can't you take it out? You also know my relationship with Director Liu, if I tell him about it. I know you don't give him face. Do you think Ms. Xia's position will be transferred? Director Hu said with a treacherous smile.

"Director Hu, you...!" Xia Xue trembled with anger.
