In fact, Wang Meng is a weird person in the hearts of many friends.

In Huayi's general manager's office, there were three men sitting, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a female secretary.

Today is October 15th.

The two-week release of "The Matrix" has come out for box office reports.

As an investor, Huayi Brothers pay more attention than Wang Meng, and also uses its resources to promote the "Matrix".

"Xiao Zhang, read it and tell Director Feng." Huayi's boss Wang Zhongjun said to the female secretary.

"So far, the Matrix has been released in the mainland for two weeks, with a total box office of RMB 37.2 billion, which is not much lower than the first week.

But we know from the theaters that the box office may decline a bit severely in the next week. According to experts' estimates, the box office of "The Matrix" can be released for 45 days to 60 days, and the box office is expected to reach more than 600 million, or even 700 million yuan.

As of now, "The Matrix" has successfully surpassed this year's highest Chinese-language film "On the Red Cliff". It also surpassed the second-ranked Chinese film in the total box office of "Titanic".

The first one now is Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" 38.1 billion yuan, the second is Wang Meng's "The Matrix" 37.2 billion yuan, and the third is "Titanic" 3.6 billion yuan. This is the current domestic results."

The female secretary named Zhang picked up a document and said to Feng Xiaogang.

Recently, Feng Xiaogang has been playing the film "If You Are the One". Now it has entered the late stage and has a little free time. He was pulled into the office by the second king to discuss the company's prospects.

"Hiss!" Feng Xiaogang narrowed his eyes after taking a breath of air conditioning. The cigarette in his hand had already burned a lot. It seemed that Feng Xiaogang's mind was not on the cigarette, and he was almost burned and didn't even notice it.

"So powerful?" He pondered for a while and asked.

"It's true. This result is so amazing. It's simply incredible. I didn't expect that our Chinese movie box office would have such great potential. This guy is such a freak." Wang Zhonglei said.

"It's indeed a weird guy. Most people have been happy with such a high box office in the Matrix. Otherwise, he would have gone to the south to film "The Legend of A Niu". I wonder what he thought?" Wang Zhongjun said depressedly.

"What a monster." Feng Xiaogang muttered.

When I was watching the premiere some time ago, a group of big directors were exploring whether Wang Meng's $1.3 billion production was a giant beast or a fallen into the mortal world. It is now clear at a glance.

Obviously this is at the level of the prehistoric giant beast.

"But that's good. Not to mention that we are also investors, we can make money. Secondly, every time the box office of the movie is expanded, it is a country made by some classic movies. Now Wang Meng is the one who has made the country. He has increased the box office of the movie, which is also beneficial to our Chinese movies. At least we can make more money in the future." Wang Zhonglei seemed to be very similar to that.

Lamenting Wang Meng's rebelliousness? Suddenly discovering it?

I had no way to control him. After all, the two of them were almost the same level and could not defeat Wang Meng.

Since you can't do it, then don't do it, let's cooperate!

Harmony is stronger than suppression, let alone suppression.

The box office he said was high, which was also very good. For Chinese movies, it was indeed a good thing.

Little do they know that because of the existence of "The Matrix", a group of fans who watched the movie for the first time were attracted to it.

These things that are attracted to cinemas are the basis for the rise in box office.

That is to say, The Matrix expanded the market.

There are many such movies, such as "Shaolin Temple" back then, and the same is true for "Titanic".

2000 years later, the same is true for "Hero". Now "The Matrix" has done it.

If "The Matrix", Chinese film and television people would have always thought that more than 300 million yuan in box office would be the highest box office.

The original time and space were not until 2009 that the film "The Founding of a Country" and "2012" reached more than 400 million.

At that time, everyone was shocked by the box office of more than 400 million, thinking that the box office of more than 400 million was too difficult to surpass, and it was simply impossible.

It was not until January 2010 that Kath God's "Avatar" came. It was hopeless for Chinese filmmakers, and the box office reached more than 1.4 billion yuan.

It's simply terrible.

It was also from that time that the box office of Chinese movies was constantly rising. Later, "Fast 7" and "Monster Hunt", it reached more than 2 billion, and until Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" exceeded 3 billion.

"I was very confident in "If You Are the One", but now it seems mysterious!" Feng Xiaogang sighed.

"That's not necessary. China is just Wang Meng? Besides, "If You Are the One" can't surpass "The Matrix"? But we have a low cost. I think if you give Director Feng a cost of $1.3 billion, you can also make a better movie than "The Matrix"." Wang Zhongjun hurriedly filmed Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang is at Huayi's Dinghai Shen Needle level, so he can't be the silence of this little steel cannon.

"What about 1.3 billion US dollars? Don't others know, don't we know yet? It's just over 80 million US dollars. Besides, I don't know where to spend money on $1.3 billion. I don't know where to spend it, I don't have the ability." Feng Xiaogang smiled.

"I heard that Tsui Hark's "Die Renjie" is about to be finished, and Liu Zhiyuan's "Saw 3" has also begun to be promoted. Chen Kexin's movie is about to start filming. Dreamworks and Wang Meng's current "A Niu" have two movies to be released, and two movies are starting to be filmed. It seems that they have made a lot of money." Wang Zhonglei said.

After Wang Zhonglei finished speaking, he was a little unwilling to give up and asked: "Brother, why didn't you find Wang Meng to cooperate with these works?"

"You ask me?" Wang Zhongjun was stunned and said, "You two have a better relationship than me. Ask me how I know."

"Uh! Yes, I forgot to ask." Wang Zhonglei said awkwardly.

"It's useless to ask. I heard that the cooperation with Tsui Hark and Chen Kexin was decided a year ago. Who knew at that time?" Feng Xiaogang knew a little, after all, like Tsui Hark and Chen Kexin, they were both directors, and they were well-informed in this regard.

"Well, there is also a small investment from Xu Zheng. I heard that the filming is almost done." At the end, Feng Xiaogang said.

"Oh? In other words, at the end of this year, you may be facing Tsui Hark's "Die Renjie" and Xu Zheng's works, come and compete with our "If You Are the One"?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"It can be said that this is just a work of DreamWorks. Of course, Xu Zheng's is negligible. The key is Tsui Hark. I heard that the special effects are a lot, the price is quite expensive, and it is still the kind that is released worldwide. Be careful." Feng Xiaogang narrowed his eyes, looking like he was in control.

Rather than discussing the company's future, the three of them talked about how to adapt to the box office competition between DreamWorks.

After thinking for a long time, there seems to be no way out. People are not short of fame, they have sufficient funds than themselves, and their channels are even more incomparable.

The only strength? Or that? - I started a company early.

That's the advantage.

What can you do! There is no way, just force it!

"Okay, not only us are uncomfortable, but other companies are also uncomfortable. Of course, I personally think that instead of being uncomfortable, it is better to slowly adapt to cooperation. Hard tops are useless!

The box office will get higher and higher, and the more you make. DreamWorks just think they are a foreign giant company. Anyway, they will mostly compete with top Hollywood companies in the future.

We are in a difficult situation here, and people don’t know, and there is no need to know. The levels are already different. Anyway, the promotion of our works should be promoted, and the Matrix also has our investments, so we can’t leave it behind. I think it’s cooperation that is the foundation!!”

Finally, Huayi's boss Wang Zhongjun decided on the direction. It can be said that it was wise.

Of course, it was not only Huayi who was worried, but after seeing the strength of "The Matrix", many Chinese film and television companies reflected on it.

It's too irresistible, and it's impossible not to reflect on it.

The result is the same, and it cannot be suppressed, so we have to cooperate and win-win.

Of course, if they all joined together, they might be able to kill DreamWorks, but that is impossible, who doesn’t have any hatred, right?

It cannot be combined.

So... under the prerequisites for not being able to combine, I had to cooperate without targeting it. This is the only way.

Dreamworks is not a small company they can suppress.

Even! It's not bad to suppress them in turn.

...

Wang Meng didn't know that a group of entertainment giants had no choice but to do anything to him. What was he worried about?

DreamWorks wants people to be present, and its relationship with Shanghai Theater is so strong, and it is also very strong with several giants from Huaying, Sanye and others.

In addition, its fame in China, not to mention funding channels, etc., as well as its fame in the world.

In short, it is a company that cannot be erased or suppressed.
