After Qingming, "Nightclub" was still in theaters, and the next week because of Monday's holiday or holiday, there were three days off a week, and the second week got a high box office of 22 million.

In 11 days, 37.3 million, breaking 50 million is stable.

The production cost of 2 million in exchange for a box office of at least 50 million is a return on investment that can be called ungodly.

Originally, Yang Qing asked for 3 million production costs, but he was worried that the money was not enough, and his character was not someone who would come to ask for money, otherwise he would not have sent the scripts to many film and television companies and producers one by one, and he would have resigned himself to fate.

In order to save money, in addition to building a supermarket set, other aspects can be saved, digital cameras are still the most common model used, and in the end there is close to one million left, and there is no place to spend it in the future.

However, a lot of investment was invested in publicity and distribution, and a total of 4 million was spent, of which 1.6 million were for 200 copies.

Guang Xian has investment, as well as issuance fees, there is money to make, and the distribution is still dedicated, and there is no moth because of the end of the cooperation.

In the same period, there was no competition among other films at all, and "Money Empire" released by China Film and Berner only won more than 6 million box office the next week.

The reputation of "Nightclub" is not bad, but as a black comedy, it still leaves a lot to be desired.

As the core element of black comedy, the foreshadowing in "Nightclub" is too straightforward and focused, which is much worse than Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing".

However, after all, he is a rookie director, the cost is still so low, and the scene is limited to a small supermarket, some flaws are inevitable.

is because it is too straightforward and cheesy, and it has won such a high box office, which has also attracted a lot of criticism from the audience.

Those people first emphasized how many classic comedies of the same genre they had watched, and then compared "Nightclub" with those classics everywhere and came to the conclusion that this is a bad movie, and only a fool will think this movie is good.

This is also the norm of domestic film and television dramas, some people scold the garbage of domestic film and television dramas, and disdain it, as if they will pollute their eyes after watching it.

As a result, I had to run to see it again, and I came to scold it again.

It's also convincing, but it's quite rich, and it's cheap.

......

The film market in April is still so flat, but many Chinese New Year movies start filming at this time, and news of big productions comes out one after another.

Hu Mei, the director of "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" and "Qiao's Courtyard", is preparing to shoot the biographical film "Confucius", which will bring the deeds of Sage Confucius to the big screen.

Confucius has already set Zhou Runfa, Fa Ge is tall, elegant, and has a suitable appearance.

After all, "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" said that "Confucius's strength lifts the gate of the country, and he refuses to hear it with force", and Zhuang Zhou also said that Confucius "can knock on the gate with strength".

However, a few days ago, Pu Cunxi talked about this movie in an interview, expressing his dissatisfaction with the script and resigning from "Confucius", and also criticized the entertainment and commercialization of Chinese culture, which opened a war of words in "Confucius".

As a result, the next day, Hu Mei jumped out to refute, saying that the script was already very perfect, and she had not contacted the other party.

It seems that Pu Cunxi was slapped in the face by Hu Mei, but what is even more annoying is that then screenwriter Chen Han jumped out to support Pu Cunxi, saying that several actors refused to act because of the script.

Chen Han is one of the screenwriters of "Red Cliff", Hu Mei specially invited him, but "Red Cliff" was scolded miserably, and Hu Mei changed several screenwriters in a row, and he was no longer needed.

Not only that, but after changing several screenwriters, the script was still difficult to deliver, and as a result, Chen Han was invited back.

The operation makes people laugh, they are all forty or fifty years old, and they are still the same as young people.

Zhang Baizi made a comeback, and the other heroine, Zhong Xintong, was also busy paying, but she didn't know who reported her just as she was about to attend a charity dinner.

Nanbang woman Zhang Ziyan committed suicide, and a suicide note shook the entire Nanbang entertainment circle, and at the same time involved Chen Guanxi's incident last year.

There are still a lot of things, but the funniest thing is that Xiao Shen Yang was very popular in the Spring Festival Gala and was targeted by Song Dezhu, who is this person who is popular and scolds whom, and directly blogs to warn Xiao Shen Yang not to be too proud, at most he will be popular until the end of this year, and he will be scolded for being vulgar.

No one wanted to provoke this person, and he was in a commotion, but Guo Deguang stood on Xiao Shen Yang's side and scolded.

Song Zuzhu hadn't seen Guo Deguang's ability yet, and suddenly became interested, thinking that one person was scolding, and two people were also scolding, so he just scolded together.

He said that these two people were indiscriminate, and they couldn't get on the stage at all.

On scolding, Guo Deguang has never been afraid of anyone, so he opened up directly, and wrote an article, sprinkled thousands of words, but there was not a word of nonsense, the vernacular text was mixed with ancient texts, and the ancient texts were mixed with allusions, and every sentence made people think deeply.

There are both afterwords, allusions, and encyclopedic knowledge, which are all used and dazzling.

Finally, he asked rhetorically: Song Dezhu, do you dare to fight back?

As a result, Song Dezhu, who has always been scolding people, really didn't dare to fight back.

I don't know how many people in the circle secretly applauded, and finally someone could cure Song Dezhu.

Last year, Song Dezhu directly said that Ma Xiaogang had a heart attack, and he would have an accident this year and next year.

Cursing is scolding, but it is very rare to directly curse people to die of heart disease like this.

The news has made the entertainment industry lively, which can be regarded as making up for the lack of heavyweight movies.

Li Qian also occasionally eats melons, writes his storyboards, and sends people to other cities to find suitable locations.

I also made an investment halfway through.,There's a movie theater scheduling website called Grava looking for investment.,This website was made in 08.,It's a website made by a movie lover in his spare time.。

Li Qian spent two days to understand it, it is a movie theater scheduling website, limited to the magic capital, you can check the film scheduling of more than half of the movie theaters in the magic city and the information of the movies released.

Once again, the founder Liu Yong was found, and Li Qian directly expressed his willingness to invest.

"Grava I can invest, 1.5 million I want to take 20% of the shares. ”

Even if he doesn't know about venture capital, Li Qian also knows that angel investment should not occupy too many shares, generally 30% of the day, even if it is more, more than this number, venture capital will not invest.

If the founders and founding team didn't have enough shares, how could they possibly do the project properly.

Taking a step back, even if they take a smaller stake and do their best to build the project, when other investors come to their door waving checks, most of them will not hesitate to give up a little bit of stake.

1.5 million 20% of the shares, Liu Yong can also accept it, and gladly agree.

However, Li Qian still has a question, "Mr. Liu, what do you plan to use the 1.5 million funds for, and have you considered selling tickets online?"

"Selling tickets?"

Hearing Li Qian's words, Liu Yong instinctively shook his head, and said with some amusement, "Erdao dealers, that's not a scalper, we have an ideal team, and the name Grava is not taken casually." ”

Grava, the leader of the ancient revolution, can make a website famous, and Li Qian knows that it is not simple.

It's another Wenqing, but compared to the pseudo-Wenqing, this is serious, and you can see it by chatting.

disdains to be a second-generation dealer and a scalper, Li Qian also asked him rhetorically.

"Then what is Mr. Liu going to do with this money?"

"This ......"

For a while, Liu Yong really couldn't think of what to do with the money.

Make the webpage a little more beautiful, contact other movie theaters in the magic capital, and cover the entire magic capital as much as possible.

But it doesn't take 1.5 million.

Li Qian was really speechless, what kind of entrepreneur is this, he hasn't even thought about the use of funds.

But after thinking about it, I am not a qualified investor, and I didn't ask when I talked two days ago.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think is the purpose of users browsing Grava?"

"You can know the schedule and number of screenings of each movie before you watch the movie, and budget the time to go to the cinema. Liu Yongdao.

"So, the ultimate goal of the user is to watch a movie?"

"That's right. ”

"Then why not just let users buy tickets directly after watching the movie they want to watch online and at the right time, doesn't this greatly improve the user experience?"

"Moreover, after you make the website famous, if other websites also imitate it and open online ticket purchase, then your users will eventually go to another website to buy tickets, and their services are more and more convenient, do you think these users will come back?"

Who is the investor, who is the planner of the project, how can Li Qian, the investor, explain the project to the founder of the project.

In a somewhat bizarre business negotiation, Liu Yong finally accepted Li Qian's proposal.

It is indeed the case, in the Internet industry, there are too many imitators, you don't sell others, and if you don't have a service, it is easy to be overtaken by latecomers.

After some struggle, Liu Yong also accepted the matter of being a scalper.

"Thank you Director Li for your advice, after I return to the magic capital, I will go to the cinema to talk to the cinema to open an online ticket purchase channel. ”

Liu Yong also hurriedly left with the contract and returned to the magic capital.

Li Qian also walked out of the conference room, "Living Together in Time and Space" has gone through four months of preparation, and today also ushered in the day of start-up.

Of course, a start-up press conference will be held at the start-up, and the indoor scenes will be filmed in the studio of the Huairou Film and Television Base, and the press conference will be arranged in a hotel near the base.

Without Guangxian, you have to do it yourself.

But it's not troublesome, Gao Yang, as the general manager of the studio, although he was only a makeup artist before, but he has been in contact with Guangxian for more than a year, and he can always do this thing.

As a film investor and producer, Li Qian will of course also attend the launch conference.

However, other investors did not appear, and for the promotion of the movie, they successively sold 20% of the investment, aiming at Li Qian's signboard, although he is a rookie director and the actor is not famous, but it is still very popular.

However, other investors will not participate in other investors if they contribute money, share money, and provide some publicity resources.

As the biggest selling point of the whole movie, Li Qian also became the focus of the audience at the press conference.

"Hello Director Li, may I ask if the script of the movie "Living Together in Time and Space" is from your hand, this story sounds a bit like "Frequency of Life and Death", is it a similar plot?"

This title is easily reminiscent of "Frequency of Life and Death", and Li Qian is not surprised.

He smiled and said, "I think this is obvious, "Living Together in Time and Space", just look at the word cohabitation, it must be the story of a man and a woman, is it possible to live together with two men?"

As soon as the words fell, the reporters below immediately smiled, and there were a few young female reporters, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"So, is this a love story that travels through time and space?" the reporter asked.

"It is also mixed with various elements such as science fiction, crime, and suspense, so to speak. ”

I believe you're a ghost!

The reporters were full of slander in their hearts, they had heard this a long time ago, and "Frequency of Life and Death" also said the same thing, but the result was just a sci-fi edge.

Running the mouth and running the train, this is already the consensus of the media on Li Qian.

Romance films, no matter how unpopular they are, big flowers like Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei can't support this genre.

Although Tong Liya played the heroine in "Nightclub", except for Xu Zheng, everyone else can be said to be supporting roles.

Lei Jiayin is even more unbearable, and he can only act in dramas, or the male N number in film and television dramas.

How much an actor can benefit from a film and television drama mainly depends on his role, importance, and familiarity with the audience.

However, compared with "Living Together in Time and Space", reporters are obviously more concerned about Li Qian's new movie, and immediately changed the topic.

"Hello Director Li, can you tell us about your new movie, how long has passed, have you started preparations, and when is it expected to start filming and release?"

"The movie is already in preparation, and the specific start time has to wait, as for the release time, if everything goes well, it will still be released in the Chinese New Year. ”

"May I ask what type of director Li's new movie is?"

"This time it's a feature film, it's going to be a very touching film, and I hope it will satisfy everyone by then. ”

Drama?

The reporters looked straight at Li Qian, and when they saw that he didn't say anything else, they were a little confused.

How can it be so simple and straightforward this time, without adding a sci-fi and crime genre.

Just when the reporter was about to continue to ask, a reporter in the front row of the salary wave preemptively asked back about "Living Together in Time and Space".

"Hello Director Li, it is said that Director Su Lun was the executive director of "Moon" before, and he is your deputy, just like Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, and Yang Qing, the director of "Nightclub", is also a rookie director, why are you so keen to invest in movies directed by newcomers?"

？？？

Li Qian was a little inexplicable, other reporters wanted to inquire about the news of his new film, why did this person pull the topic back.

Although this is what the normal press conference said, it revealed something unusual.

However, it is also good that reporters pay attention to "Living Together in Time and Space".

Li Qian smiled and said, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are new or not, it just so happens that they have this ability and potential, I believe that they can make a good movie, and I myself have a little spare money, so I support them to make movies." ”

The topic came back to "Living Together in Time and Space", Li Qian also gave up his position to Su Lun, Tong Liya, and Lei Jiayin, after all, they are the director and protagonist.

During this period, many reporters still wanted to ask about Li Qian's new film, but they were interrupted by several other reporters, and they turned the topic back to "Living Together in Time and Space".

It's weird.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

And Li Qian noticed that those reporters seemed to be all salarymen.

Could it be that someone wants to do something!
