Chapter 44: Forcing Him to Comply
Qiao Feng obviously thought too much, five pieces in one word?
Hehe.
One word for one word, a thousand words for thousands of dollars, and only a few authors such as Ni Frame have gotten it, and it is not a novel, but just a column of a few thousand words.
As for the long article, Ni Frame's manuscript fee is already the highest level, and it is only 500 words per 1,000 words.A newcomer like Qiao Feng, looking at his popularity in the film industry, Oriental Daily, which has the highest manuscript fee in several major newspapers, is only willing to give him 300 words per 1,000 words, which is only a little more than half of Ni Frame's.
Of course, three hundred words per thousand is definitely very high, so Qiao Feng decided to serialize the novel Xun Qin Ji in Oriental Daily.
At the end of February, Xun Qin Ji began to be serialized in the supplement of the Oriental Daily, but the circulation of the newspaper on that day did not change, as before.
However, the quality of Xun Qinji's works is there, especially a little yellow, and the story is extremely novel, and people who have seen it will basically be attracted and will recommend it to others.
Therefore, from the second day onwards, the circulation of the Oriental Daily began to rise in a straight line; 250,000 copies were normally circulated that day, but they were sold out at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
On the third day, Oriental Daily directly increased its circulation to 350,000 copies, and printed 50,000 more copies in the afternoon, for a total of 400,000 copies, which were still sold out on the same day.
In the past three days, Oriental Daily has been hard to find in various newsstands and newsstands, especially the newspaper on the first day of serialization, and some people can't buy it several times the market price.
On the first day, Ma Yanqiang, the owner of Oriental Daily, thought that he had made a loss-making deal, and the name of a big star and screenwriter did not drive the circulation of his newspaper.
As a result, the next day, he overturned his idea, believing that the business could be done, and the star effect was quite helpful in increasing the circulation of the newspaper.
On the third day, he once again overturned the previous day's idea, this business can be done, it is completely profitable.
Then on the fourth day, the 450,000 copies of the newspaper were still sold out, and Ma Yanqiang was already pleasantly surprised and didn't know how to express it.
On the fifth day, the circulation increased to 500,000 copies, and this time it was not sold out, and there were more than 10,000 copies left, but it will continue to be sold in the future.
Day 6,
On the seventh day,
Day 8
Although the circulation of Oriental Daily has not soared again, it is still very popular, and the daily circulation is basically stable at about 450,000 copies.
Oriental Daily has always been the newspaper with the largest circulation in Hong Kong because of its all-encompassing content, such as Sankei, entertainment, sports, Bojing, Majing, supplements, etc.
Well, because of the serialization of a novel, its circulation has directly doubled, and other newspapers have almost no way to deal with it except for dumbfounded, envious, jealous and hateful.
Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao several major newspapers urgently contacted well-known writers to ask for manuscripts, but where is it so easy to write a good novel.
Therefore, they can only watch the Oriental Daily make a big hair, but they are helpless and staring.
Qiao Feng lived a very comfortable life, except for spending a few hours a day writing novels, most of the rest of the time was given to Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin.
Shopping, eating, sleeping, banging.
On March 7th, the modern bodyguards of the Xu brothers finally painted under the line of Jiahe Courtyard, and the final box office made Jiahe very satisfied, taking more than 17.7 million yuan in more than 30 days, which was six or seven million more than Cheng Long's junior brothers at the beginning of last year.
That is, he is not as good as the gambling god and the best friend of Shaw Brothers, but being ranked third is enough to make Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest, wake up with a smile.
And through this film, it also made Golden Harvest see the hope of surpassing the first two blockbusters.No need for Qiao Feng's script to be so close to the second-ranked best friend, if you shoot Plan A written by Qiao Feng, you can surpass the first-ranked God of Gamblers.
Just when Golden Harvest urged Cheng Long, who was far away in the United States, to end the filming of the shell flying car as soon as possible, and then come back to shoot Plan A, the overseas release of Best Friends was also over.
Qiao Feng didn't ask how much the total box office was, and there was no need to ask, anyway, he got a fixed salary, and whether the overseas box office was high or low had nothing to do with him.
A modern bodyguard allowed Golden Harvest to rule the whole February, and the newly established New Art City was not to be outdone, although it was not like Golden Harvest to collect 17 million, but a small-cost comedy Happy Fairy Nest also allowed them to get a box office of 5.1 million in less than half a month in February.
As for Shaw, you can only watch dryly.
The modern bodyguard has just been painted, and another film of Golden Harvest, the brave man is fearless and begins to take over the baton.
This made the Shaw Brothers, who had been in the limelight for the second half of last year, unable to stand it, so they filmed the sequel to the best loss friend that had been suppressed for several months, and the best loss friend was taken out by Shaw Brothers to stop the brave man of Golden Harvest.
On March 10th, the best friend was released.
has the popularity of the first part, and as soon as this film was released, the theaters under Shaw Brothers were full.
The box office of 1.2 million was collected on the first day, and the box office dropped a little bit on the second day to get 1.15 million, and 2.35 million in two days.
The key is that due to the release of the best friend, everyone crowded to Shaw Brothers to watch the movie, and the audience of Golden Harvest Cinemas was greatly diverted.
The third day of the release of Best Friends was a rest day, so the box office on this day ushered in an uptick, winning 1.35 million at the box office in one fell swoop.
After three consecutive days of more than one million box office, the box office of the best friend broke through the love barrier inevitably ushered in a decline, and only got 980,000 on the fourth day, a difference of 20,000 to 100.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the release time of the two bad friends is too close, and the jokes are not very strong, and the combination of bridges is quite average, and the audience's evaluation of it is naturally not as good as the first one.
However, compared with other films, the jokes in this film are still very G-spot, and the bursts of laughter that erupted in the theater are bigger than the modern bodyguards who won more than 17 million box office shortly after the painting.
This also relieved the Shaw Brothers executives who were a little worried, such as Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.
"Is there a reply to what the kid from the Tianlin family asked?" Shao Yifu, who put down the box office report, asked after rubbing his somewhat sour eyes.
"Wang Jing said that Qiao Feng didn't have time to write a script for us recently." Fang Yihua replied with an unhappy face.
"Don't have time? So how can he have time to write a script for Golden Harvest?" Shao Yifu asked.
Fang Yihua sneered: "No time is an excuse, I think the surname Qiao feels that his wings are stiff, and he thinks that the money we give is less, and he plans to get rid of the Shaw Brothers and go to Jiahe."
"If so, what are you going to do?" Shao Yifu thought for a while and asked.
"It is inevitable that the best friend will break through 10 million, Qiao Feng can get a salary of 3 million, we can deduct this money and force him to write a script."
