"Brother Mu Bai, Luo from Xiangjiang always has something to look for you!"

Just as everyone was chatting heartily, Yang Guo received a phone call, went out to pick it up, and said to Chen Mubai when he came back.

"Luo Fan?" Lu Fang wondered.

"What's the matter with him looking for you?" Qian Duoduo and the others swept their suspicious gazes towards Chen Mubai.

Luo Fan and Chen Mubai have always had a good relationship, and they have also given Mubai Entertainment some help before, and they are one of the few people in the circle who have a relationship with Chen Mubai.

This time, Luo Fan suddenly looked for Chen Mubai, and everyone was very curious about what was going on.

Is it another invitation song?

It seems that there is nothing else to do except this, the last time I invited Chen Mubai to make a theme song for "Seven Heroes", and the response at that time was very good.

This song is still on the list of Heung Kong Music's charts, and many martial arts film and television dramas have come to negotiate copyright matters.

"Don't look at me, I don't know. Chen Mubai shrugged.

Luo Fan still called him during the Spring Festival, wishing him a happy New Year and a big movie hit.

And in the cinema in Xiangjiang, the schedule of "Hypnosis Master" has improved a little with his help, and Luo Fan has helped him a lot.

Chen Mubai does not deny this, his favorability towards Luo Fan is not bad.

A real self-made boss is willing to show kindness to him, as long as he is not stupid, it is impossible for him not to maintain a friendly relationship with the other party.

In the entertainment industry, this relationship is the most important.

In addition to benefits, it is the kind of payment that can help.

Although, there are also interests in their friendship, but it is much better than those who just talk about how good the relationship is, but in fact they can't help at all, at least they really help.

"I'll call him back, and you continue. Chen Mubai took the phone from Yang Guo and was about to go out to call and inquire.

Since Luo Fan said that he was looking for him, then there must be something, and he will go to the Three Treasures Hall if he has nothing to do.

A big guy of their level has a lot of things to do, and he rarely has nothing to talk to.

"Brother Luo, I heard that you are looking for me?"

The phone called, and after answering, Chen Mubai smiled heartily.

"Brother, are you holding a celebration banquet!" Luo Fan also laughed.

"Master of Hypnosis" has a total box office of 1.7 billion, which is definitely a blockbuster movie, and in any company, this is a very successful movie, and it is normal to hold a celebration banquet.

"As my brother said, the box office is really good. ”

Luo Fan was a little speechless, just good?

This is too calm, but compared with the box office of his first two movies, it is true that Chen Mubai does not blame Chen Mubai for saying so, the box office of the first two movies is higher, and this one is indeed the worst one relatively speaking, barely "unsatisfactory".

People are more popular than dead people!

"There are infinite possibilities when you are young, especially for talented people like you, and the future is your world. Luo Fan sighed.

The rise of Chen Mubai is bound to have a huge impact on the existing film market, and perhaps the younger generation of actors and directors will appear on the stage one after another.

The young people represented by Chen Mubai are talented, and many companies have begun to pay attention to the ability of young directors, and decided to give them some opportunities to try, wanting to appear a second "Chen Mubai".

You don't have to be that good, you just need to be able to get results.

If the box office of this movie was given to Luo Fan, he would definitely not be so calm.

After all, it is a blockbuster movie, and as an investor, the main actors are also from their company, which is simply a big profit!

In addition to the benefits of one-third of the total box office of the movie, the director's box office share + salary and the actor's salary are all a large amount of Mubai Entertainment's full food.

The individual's salary is not included in the company's money, but there is also a sharing agreement between the individual and the company, so the more the star earns, the more the company gets.

Although the box office of "Master of Hypnosis" only ranks third, in terms of revenue, the production companies of the top two movies do not get as much profit as Mubai Entertainment!

After all, not all investments are invested by the entertainment company where the star belongs, and there are many film and television dramas that are invested by investors, and then invite directors and actors to star, everyone is not necessarily a community of interests.

"Brother Luo, what are you looking for me, right?"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Chen Mubai began to get into the topic.

Luo Fan doesn't look like a person who has time to chat, since he called to find him, there must be something, but he may be embarrassed to speak again in view of the previous invitation to sing, so Chen Mubai took the initiative to ask.

"Well, you know the movie 'Shootout'. Luo Fan said with a snort.

"I know, the film of the Spring Festival. ”

"This film was made by us in Hong Kong. Luo Fan sighed: "The box office of the movie is not ideal, it is basically a loss." ”

This movie ranked seventh in the Spring Festival file, with a box office of about 200 million, and the key production cost reached 100 million, which was basically a loss.

The follow-up depends on whether the movie's discs and online platform sales can return a little more blood, otherwise there will be a blood loss.

"In the past two years, the film industry in Hong Kong has been declining, and many Hong Kong films have failed, and the most recent blockbuster movie is "Seven Heroes". Luo Fan laughed at himself.

Not only Times Media, but in fact, the box office results of the films produced by the rest of the entertainment companies in Xiangjiang are not good, and there are very few big-selling films, basically breaking even is good, and many are still losing money.

Xiangjiang itself has a serious stratification of actors, basically the older generation of filmmakers dominate the market, and the new generation is difficult to get ahead, and the strength is not enough.

The older generation are all superstars, and they are paid a lot of money to appear in movies, but their appeal to the audience is limited.

With the rise of the film and television industry in the mainland, the audience has become more fond of young traffic stars, which has led to a difficult situation for the film and television industry in Hong Kong.

Xiangjiang is in a situation where the old and the young are not connected, but if there are no old stars to star, no one will watch it, so it is in a dilemma.

Many celebrities have come to the mainland to find a way out, but some people are still clinging to traditional Xiangjiang-style films, and do not want Xiangjiang's film style to become history.

Chen Mubai didn't speak, and listened to Luo Fan's words quietly.

"I'm looking for you this time, I really want to trouble you, I want you to make a film with Xiangjiang style. Luo Fan said: "Invest in me, you can invest if you want, the actor tries to find stars in Xiangjiang, you can pick a few I want to leave a thought for myself, it can be regarded as the final glory." ”

The reason why Luo Fan said that he would invest in him was because he was afraid that Chen Mubai would take risks, after all, Xiangjiang-style movies are not blockbusters now, and if they invest, they are likely to lose money, so he said so.

But if Chen Mubai wants to invest, it's not impossible, it's just that Luo Fan is thinking about him, after all, it's not going to be a recession now.

Of course, whether Chen Mubai will agree or not is one thing, this matter is actually a bit difficult to do.

"You can think about it, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, Hong Kong films are really in decline now. Luo Fan said.

"I can't find you, I'm the president of the Xiangjiang Film Association, I always have to make some contribution to this industry, if you agree, no matter what the box office of the movie you make, the most films can be scheduled for you, and your works will be released in Xiangjiang in the future. ”

Luo Fan is the president of the Xiangjiang Film Association, and if he wants to recreate the glory of Chen Mubai to make a Hong Kong film this time, what he values is his ability.

This matter is also known to some giants in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, who hope to open up the film industry in Xiangjiang again through the influence of Chen Mubai, so that everyone can see that there is still a way out for Hong Kong films, and they may be able to wake up the sluggish film market in Xiangjiang through this wave of rhythm.

Therefore, everyone found Luo Fan together and put forward this idea.

Of course, this matter is really difficult to do, and it will also make it difficult for Chen Mubai, so they will promise a huge benefit to Chen Mubai, hoping that he can help.

In other words, no matter what works Chen Mubai makes in the future, as long as it is released, in the market of Xiangjiang, everyone will give the highest treatment for film scheduling, and this benefit is still very great.

Xiangjiang's box office contribution can also be about 100 million, which is the number one movie, after all, Xiangjiang's land is not large, the audience is limited, and it is already very good for a movie in the same schedule to get this result.

Unless, it can be better and sweep the same schedule, then it can still go up.

But it's basically impossible, unless the production lineup + cast is strong, plus the movie is extremely good, completely crushing the movies of the same schedule, it can be done.

"In the future, movies can get the largest schedule in the land of Xiangjiang, which is a big temptation. Chen Mubai thought.

Although his films will be released in Xiangjiang in the future, the scheduling rate may not be low, but if it competes with foreign blockbusters, I am afraid that it will be a little worse.

And if he makes a movie, it means that he is helping the film industry in Xiangjiang now, and they will be grateful to him, which is a good deal.

"Okay, I promised. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mubai agreed.

"Really!?" Luo Fan was surprised.

"Don't you think about it anymore?"

Luo Fan really didn't expect Chen Mubai to agree so decisively, although it seems that the temptation of this benefit is great, but it is more difficult.

Especially Chen Mubai is now in the rising period of his career, once his next movie hits the street, the doubts outside will not be small, after all, he has been successful now, and many people are waiting for him to fail, and for his current fame, the impact will still be there.

Compared with Xiangjiang's movie scheduling rate, the temptation is great, but it is a bit chicken.

Luo Fan thought that Chen Mubai would think carefully before replying, but he didn't expect him to agree so bluntly, which caught him a little off guard.

"Think about it, Brother Ro. Chen Mubai said with a smile.

"Actually, when I was a child, I loved watching Xiangjiang movies, and I hope that one day I can make works with the same taste, and now that I have this opportunity, I want to try it. ”

Luo Fan said: "Thank you, we will try our best to cooperate with your work, if you have any needs, just say, I will definitely meet them!"

Luo Fan only regarded it as Chen Mubai's words, how could there be such a coincidence, he came to the door, and the other party said that he just wanted to make this type of film, it was too coincidental, it could only be an excuse, but it really moved him.

Since Chen Mubai agreed, he will definitely try his best to cooperate with him and do his best, so that Chen Mubai has no worries and solves problems for him.
