Chapter 199: What Human Suffering?

Everyone is an individual, and no one can really feel and understand the thinking of others.

Just like Zhou Yun, who was very satisfied with Zhao Punctuality's answer, couldn't understand why Dong En was dissatisfied.

In Zhou Yun's view, a variety show and a theatrical movie can already meet the Forbidden City's plan for the second half of the year.

Of course, she also hopes that Han Xin will order troops - the more the merrier.

But the current Forbidden City is still too weak, and these two projects alone will consume the liquidity of most departments. This directly led to the inability of Forbidden City Pictures to open up other battlefields.

The investment in a "Please Give a Meal" is calculated at a compromise of 4000W. According to the urine nature of Yang Ma, they must account for the majority of the investment. If nothing else, the investment ratio will be distributed according to 40%:30%:30%.

The Forbidden City's investment is 1200W.

The investment amount of a "Heart Flower Road" is 3000W, and with the 20% share promised by Zhao Punctuality, the capital that needs to be contributed is 600W.

The total investment amount of 1800W is not small, but it just offsets the income of the three projects of "Iron Fist", "Tip of the Tongue" and "Yu Huanshui". (450W+600W+550WοΌ‰

For the current Forbidden City Films, it is just enough to bear, although there is pressure, it will not be tired of vomiting blood.

If you want to say that Zhao Punctual didn't calculate this, Zhou Yun refused to believe it even if he was killed.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yun is willing to support Zhao Punctuality, because Zhao Punctuality's plan is safe enough. And he still walks on two legs, which is more and more stable.

With Zhao Punctuality's steady line, Zhou Yun became more and more disdainful of Dong En's proposal to invest in the suspenseful light sci-fi 'big production' directed by Jiang Buyu.

In Zhou Yun's view, this investment behavior is a bit reckless and a little radical. If it weren't for this person and her cousin in the same camp, she couldn't help but scold him.

The investment in "Tip of the Tongue" is only six million. The Forbidden City can be borne by itself, but it still chooses to make it with Yang Ma. The platform provided by others is enough to ensure that the cost is recovered. The final investment result is a return of 200% and a net profit of 100%.

"Yu Huanshui" invested 6 million and cooperated with Oriental Media. The end result is a return of 170% and a net profit of 85%.

Five months, two almost 100% pure profits, it's a pretty amazing thing.

This directly leads to everyone's recognition of Zhao's punctuality, and this recognition can ignore age.

Therefore, when Zhao Punchou indicated that he would increase investment in the next project, even Gao Xiuling, the director of the business department who is known for her strictness, said that he had no preliminary opinion.

However, the newly recruited Dong En threatened to invest in the production of hundreds of millions of 'big productions'. It sounds cool, but it's a real money.

The production cost is not less than 10% of the investment amount of hundreds of millions of theatrical films, that is, 1000W. This is still calculated according to 100 million, if it is 200 million production costs, it is 2000W.

Even if it is calculated according to 100 million. This 10% is also not representative of the final figure. Under normal circumstances, the publicity cost of this kind of 'big production' will not be less than 50% of the production cost, and can even reach 100%.

β€”β€”β€”β€” like "Iron Fist", the production cost is 3000W, and the publicity cost is 3000W.

The total cost is not less than 150 million.

1000W relative to 100 million, that is a 10% share.

1000W relative to 150 million, that's a 6.6% share.

If no additional investment is made, the 10% will be diluted to 6.6%. If you make an additional investment, you will have to pay another 500W.

The total investment of 1500W is not much different from the total investment of the two projects proposed by Zhao Shishi. It's just that one is 30%+20%. The other is only 10% or even 6.6% of the miserable.

Of course, not talking about the probability of recovering the cost, but only talking about the proportion of investment is a hooligan.

But if you really want to compare, the projects provided by Dong En are even more incomparable. It's nothing more than nothing.

Generally, the producer gets 33% of the total box office. If a film with an investment of 150 million wants to recover its cost, it needs at least 460 million.

That's just recovering the cost, not a dime of profit.

According to Zhou Yun's understanding, the highest single-film box office record directed by Jiang Buyu is 230 million. This time, even if the script is really good, the film is awesome, the director is awesome, and the audience is cheering, you can double it, and it will only be 460 million. It can also be used to protect the capital.

The box office performance of 460 million has surpassed 99.9% of films. At present, there are only three Chinese-language movies with more than 500 million. Chapter 1. Zhang Xun 1 (Iron Fist). There is also a film from a veteran director.

It is estimated that Jiang Buyu himself does not dare to guarantee that his film will enter the 500 million file.

Capital preservation is already so difficult, let alone profitable. What's more, the profit ratio is close to 100% and 85% of "Tip of the Tongue" and "Yu Huanshui". It's even more fantastical.

There was a slight mistake, that is, the black man carried the coffin and reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

It is difficult to recover costs, and there is no way to save money.

Director Jiang Buyu, as a top director in China, must have a team he is familiar with. Even if the Forbidden City Pictures is the producer, it can't arrange its own staff to settle in the crew.

Even if there is an opportunity, it will not be the turn of the Forbidden City, which accounts for only 10% of the investment amount.

That's the standard: money is spent, jobs aren't provided. The colleagues in the unit chatted and ate melon seeds at home, and they had to pay full wages.

Don't make a fuss, the liquidity is dragged, open it with your mouth?

There are also big problems with publicity. The distribution of this kind of large-scale production is generally negotiated with industry leaders, and even directly connected with online platforms and theaters.

Forbidden City Films? didn't even have a chance to eat fart.

All the advantages of this project can be found in "Please Give a Meal" and "Heart Flower Road".

All the shortcomings of this project, "Please Give a Meal", "Heart Flower Road" can be avoided.

"Please Give a Meal" has the support of Yang Ma, and besides, it can be used to attract foreign investment in the name of Yang Ma, not to mention how much profit it makes, there is no problem in recovering costs. For details, please refer to "The Tip of the Tongue".

The director of "Heart Flower Road" is Zhang Yu + Lei Hong, who directed "Yu Huanshui". The starring role is Hao Jian + Geng Hao, who starred in the hit film "Iron Fist". The golden sentences of Zhang Zhuyu and the black-skinned brother are really unforgettable.

The most important thing is that this film is also adapted from Zhao Punctu's "Passing by Your World". This is the brother of a fellow brother with "Iron Fist".

"Heart Flower Road" can be compared to "Iron Fist" in a certain aspect. Even if the box office does not reach the estimated box office of "Iron Fist" of 1 billion + beautiful books

As long as the quality of the film is passable, there is no problem in winning a box office of 13 or 14.

What's more, even if the Forbidden City does not occupy an absolute investment quota in these two projects, it can guarantee a certain right to speak because of Zhao Punctuality's existence.

Not to mention anything else, at least the colleagues in the production department can be crammed into the crew. That's Zhao Punctuality's descendant, and he doesn't arrange anyone.

Moreover, Forbidden City Pictures can eat into the publicity and distribution of "Heart Flower Road". Even a partial share is sufficient.

only participated in the promotion and distribution of "Iron Fist", but did not participate in the investment, which is an eternal pain in Zhou Yun's heart.

Β·Β·Β·

Again, everyone is an individual, and no one can truly understand and feel the thinking of others.

When Dong En first joined the Forbidden City Pictures, he heard the name "Zhao Punctuality" from Jiang Che's mouth.

I've always wanted to meet the youngest director of the Forbidden City, but unfortunately I've always been close to each other.

At that time, Dong En was [indifferent] to Zhao Punctuality. But as time passed, he heard countless times about [Zhao Punctuality].

Subtly, he put Zhao Punctual in the position of a competitor.

Especially since he had already received a promise from Jiang Che that he would take over the [Planning Department]. In addition to making various plans and programs, the Planning Department also has a Development Team.

A layman does the work of an insider. The key is that he is doing a good job, as the future person in charge of the [Planning Department], Dong En is a little angry.

Dong En, who has to fight for breath if he doesn't fight for steamed buns, holds back his strength to PK with Zhao Punctual and let him know that there are people outside the world.

Investing in the film directed by Jiang Buyu was Dong Eun's first attack on Zhao Punctuality.

He thought about being evenly matched, and he thought about falling a little behind. But he didn't expect to lose so badly.

Zhao Punctual didn't say a word seriously, and only sent a deputy director to beat himself to the ground.

There is a saying that "it is tolerable, but it is unbearable".

Dong En, who couldn't stand this kind of grievance, looked directly at Zhao Punctual who was directly opposite, and asked in a solemn tone: "I have a few questions I want to ask Director Zhao." ”

"Oh, please. Zhao Punctual replied lightly, as if he didn't feel Dong En's hostility.

"That's right," Dong En groaned slightly, and continued: "As far as I know, the "Tip of the Tongue" project was stuck by Yang Ma for some reason. This leads to the fact that the funds cannot be recovered. I think, this should be Yang Ma expressing her dissatisfaction with us, right?

So the question is, how can Director Zhao ensure that he can persuade Yang Ma to participate in the "Please Give a Meal" project this time. How to ensure that Yang Ma will not get stuck with us again?

There is also the "Heart Flower Road" project. I'm not saying we can't invest, it's just that I can't understand why we decide to invest just by name. For example, the subject matter, the director, and the starring, we don't know all of them, and we all make hasty decisions, is it a bit hasty?

And the company called [Qingyu Media], do you have any explanation? It seems to be very powerful? Sorry, I have been in the industry for more than ten years, and I have never heard of this company. If it weren't for the fact that I heard everyone mention it many times today, I would have thought that this pheasant media came from. ”

sigh

Everyone gasped, especially everyone who knew the relationship between Zhao Punctual and Qingyu Media, and they all looked at Zhao Punctuality.

There are also some people who know that Zhao Punctuality's temper is urinating, and they cast a pity on Dong En: Dude, what kind of human suffering have you experienced to make you think of provoking Zhao Punctuality.

Dong Eun, who was swept by his gaze, was a little confused, so he recalled that his words were not out of line. But I added: "Sorry, I didn't mean to target anyone. It's just that the thing is not the right person, so please ask Director Zhao to solve my doubts. ”

Dong En, who finished up for himself, looked straight at Zhao Punctuality, his innocent big eyes, like Zhang San, an extralegal madman standing in front of Changban Slope. It's a pity that the enemy opposite him is not Cao Jun, but the elite who is holding AK47 and preparing to make a sudden attack.

Zhao Punctual squinted at Dong En, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sneered: "Lao Zhang's idea, you have a problem with Lao Zhang, do my feathers." ”

Puff~chi、、

Zhao Punctuality's street-like tone made many people laugh. Except for Dong Eun, who was offended.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, I will be merciless Zhao Pushi was a little exaggerated and plucked his ears, looked at Zhang Genda and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, Director Dong questioned me, don't you help me break the siege?"

A counter-remark, it is not good to provoke Dong En's face like black charcoal. Jiang Che, who was the first, was secretly happy in his heart, this was exactly the effect he wanted, he noticed that Zhao Punctuality's reputation in the unit was a little too good, and he had to find someone to check and balance him.

Zhang Genda, who was suffering from the immortal fight mortals, wanted to cry a little, but he knew that he couldn't allow himself to retreat now. Biting his inner lip hard, he could almost smell the blood, and he mustered up the courage to look at Dong En, "If Director Dong has any questions, just ask me directly, although I am only a deputy director, I think it is enough to help Director Dong solve his doubts." ”

Zhang Genda paused slightly. Dong En also wanted to explain a few words to ease the atmosphere, "Zhang F、、、"

Before the adverb came out, I heard Zhang Genda say in a loud voice: "Let's answer the question of the final payment of "The Tip of the Tongue" first. ”

Dong En, who had just spoken, was blocked by Zhang Genda. I feel so uncomfortable. Although it is suspected that Zhang Genda did it on purpose, there is no evidence.

I was helpless, but I had to listen to Zhang Genda and say: "Director Dong suspects that Yang Ma has opinions about us and refuses to settle the final payment, which is pure nonsense. The real reason is that Director Ha of CCTV 3 wants to cooperate with us again. This is also the true meaning of "Please Give a Meal".

I'm not sure that Yang Ma will definitely participate in "Please Give Me a Meal", but I guarantee that Yang Ma is interested. I can also guarantee to recover the remaining amount of "Tip of the Tongue" within half a month.

As for the "Heart Flower Road" project, the only person who doesn't know the specific situation may be you, Director Dong. At least I know. The director is Zhang Yu + Lei Hong, who directed "Yu Huanshui". The starring roles are Geng Hao + Hao Jian, and the two of them have starred in the currently popular "Iron Fist". Director Zhao and Mr. Pei will also have cameos.

Oh, Director Dong may not know who Pei always is, Mr. Pei's full name is Pei Youqing, and he is the boss of Qingyu Media.

Oh, I forgot, Director Dong doesn't know about Qingyu Media. Let me briefly explain to Director Dong that last year's popular "The Voice" was a project planned by Qingyu Media. and the popular "I Am a Singer" is also related to Qingyu Media. He is also one of the producers of "Iron Fist of Shame".

If Director Dong is not joking, but really doesn't know about this media company, I really have to wonder if Director Dong has really been engaged in the media industry all these years?"

Zhang Genda's words were like a soft knife stabbing someone, not an ordinary pain.

Coupled with the smile on his face, it was particularly annoying.

Zhao Punctual 、、、 suddenly felt very relieved.

I never expected that Zhang Genda, a thick-eyed and big-eyed goods, would be so ruthless, it was like peeling skin and cramping and exposing to the sun for three days.

No、、、 I have to add chicken legs to him tonight, add a bunch.

Don't be afraid of his pride.
