PS: Look at the exclusive story behind "Entertainment Empire System", listen to more of your suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the official account of the www.biquge.info Chinese network of Biquge (add friends on WeChat - add the official account - enter ddxiaoshuo), and quietly tell me!
People's hearts are like the sea, secretive as deep, everyone is just a lonely walker in the vast sea of people, desperately struggling in the endless sea of suffering. That is to say, there are a few people who can ride the wind and waves.
is like a movie boss like Wang Zhongjun, which is quite powerful in Huaxia, but it feels a little inadequate for the new film association.
The introduction of a blockbuster by the New Film Association can break many people's dreams when the schedule is set.
At this time, Ye Ming frowned, then stretched out, and said with some peaceful comfort: "This thing surnamed Liu is indeed a little unkind, but the appeal of this Director Feng's film market is still there, in fact, you don't have to worry so much, all of them are based on the effect of the audience, and the audience likes to watch it, so this one qiē reactionaries are all paper tigers, what are you worried about doing?"
Wang Zhongjun said helplessly: "I know the box office appeal of Director Feng and Ge You, plus the great beauty Guan Zhilin, it is said that this matter is not a big deal, but you don't want to think about it, what a big cast Wu Yusen's movie is."
Hollywood's big production, the cost is 120 million US dollars, just to say the cost of other people's production, our box office dare not be so high, Chinese audiences you say will go to watch Hollywood blockbusters, or come to see our Chinese New Year films.
At least for now, it seems that all the theaters, including the New Film Association, have already spread the news that they will reduce our number of shows, which is simply certain, and moreover, one of our investors. has decided to withdraw the investment, and now we are encountering a bottleneck in publicity, our Huayi brothers also have investments in other films, so now that investors have withdrawn their investment, it will be difficult for us to continue in publicity.
This is not advertised. In the face of Hollywood blockbusters, what good box office do we have?"
This is indeed a problem, now is not the time for the fragrance of wine not to be afraid of deep alleys, I didn't see that for publicity, Wang Zhongjun had already used favors to find Ye Ming to promote on the website.
This is about to be released, and it is possible to cancel the later stage promotion, which has to be said to be a very big irony. For example, the first Chinese New Year film of [Party A and Party B] is indeed of high quality, and there is nothing wrong with catering to the tastes of the people. But this also has a lot to do with Feng Xiaogang and other crew members running around, and meeting with the audience.
If the [big names] don't hold a dozen or so meet-and-greets this time, and almost all the large and medium-sized cities across the country come over, it will have a great impact on the box office.
Feng Xiaogang also frowned and said: "Compared with [Wind Whisperer], the biggest advantage is that our main creative staff will attend the meeting, if Wu Yusen's [Wind Whisperer] is released, then if Nicolas Cage and other Hollywood stars can appear at the premiere, it will already be a pretty good achievement." This is a thing that is destined to give us an advantage.
But if we don't run the field. Then it's hard to say, the only advantage is to lose. Dong Ping's guy is also too unkind. Isn't it right for us to withdraw at this critical time?"
Film investment, but there are high-risk projects, even if it is Feng Xiaogang's movie, it does not mean that every one will make money, like the last one [a sigh] will lose money.
Therefore. Generally, there is such an unspoken rule in the industry, and it is better to invest in two more, unless it is a small-budget movie, the kind of two or three million. A large company like Huayi Brothers won it by itself.
But Feng Xiaogang's movie, not to mention anything else, just talking about inviting a star like this, a Guan Zhilin, it's hard to say whether two or three million can be done.
Therefore, Feng Xiaogang's film is a big investment, and of course the Huayi brothers want to find someone to share their own risks.
And with the signboards of Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, there will still be many investors who will take a fancy to this crew.
Therefore, there is no problem for Huayi Brothers to find investment, but at a critical time, Dong Ping, one of the investors, withdrew his investment.
At this time, it can be said that Wang Zhongjun was a little caught off guard. At this moment, he pondered for a moment and said: "I'm not surprised at all now, [Wind Whisperer] was introduced, do you know who the introducer is? That is Dong Ping, this time Dong Ping also used a lot of relationships and spent a lot of investment to do it, and his money was invested in the blockbuster [Wind Whisperer], so naturally there is no money for us." ”
Ge You glanced at Ye Ming and said: "Ye Zi, if you take over the investment in this movie, you have to find someone to invest in both horizontal and vertical, do you also have your own company, this is just right." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang's hearts were also relaxed for a while, and Uncle Ge was reliable at the critical time, if Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang were asked to talk about this matter, then the matter would be a little difficult to say, at least the two of them might not be able to wipe off their face.
In terms of online publicity, they have already looked for Ye Ming, and Ye Ming has also given some help very politely, so if they look for Ye Ming again at this time, it means that they owe Ye Ming a favor.
The same is true in the entertainment industry, favors must be repaid, otherwise who will take you to play. Ge You said that, it was easier, it depended on whether Ye Ming was willing to take over this stall.
To be honest, even Ge You himself regretted it a little after saying this.
The opponent is a Hollywood blockbuster, with a production budget of up to 120 million US dollars [Wind Whisperer], Wu Yusen's works, starring Nicolas Cage, no matter who it is, he will hesitate in the face of such a strong lineup.
It can be said that this is a game that is bound to be lost. There was no possibility of victory on Wang Zhongjun's side.
But unexpectedly, Ye Ming nodded and said: "There is no problem with this, anyway, I won't do anything else this year, Mr. Wang, you can find someone to go to our company to talk about specific things, and after the negotiation is done, the money will be available this afternoon."
Ye Ming's brilliant network, it is now starting to make a profit. For most Internet companies that are still struggling with food and clothing, Ye Ming has also used his strong strength to support a piece of the brilliant network, many old movies, old TV series, can be found on the brilliant network, Ye Ming bought out the network copyright of these movies with the price of cabbage. It's the kind of permanent buyout.
Brilliant Network is not short of money now, therefore, Wang Zhongjun is still quite confident in Ye Ming's funds, he waved his hand and said: "What else are you talking about, I'll let people bring the contract, and everyone will be over if they sign the contract." Let's not play so much with each other. ”
Wang Zhongjun was also very anxious at this time, so he directly called someone to send the contract over, and Ye Ming took a look. found that there was no major problem, signed, called Sister Fang Fang, and the investment of nine million was quickly received.
This is simple, anyway, with money, there will be no passivity in publicity.
In fact, it's like running field publicity, which requires money, to every city. Pull the relationship and let the people in the theater take care of their own movies. This also requires money, and this is an unspoken rule, you can't do it if you don't give it, why do some movies steal the box office, it's because others have given money and you didn't give it.
Wang Zhongjun is very clear about this, he gives money and does not ask the theater chain to help him steal the box office. As long as the box office of your movie is not stolen, it is already quite a good thing. These expenses are at the bottom of nine million, and none of them will be a problem.
For today's movies, leave one or two million for publicity. That's normal, if it's a blockbuster like Feng Xiaogang, it's normal to have nine million. Who knows if there will be other accidents during the promotion.
The New Film Association and Poly Huayi really did things quite simply, and after announcing the news that the Hollywood blockbuster [Wind Whisperer] would be released, the publicity was overwhelming.
This Wang Zhongjun is even more ruthless, throwing money, TV, newspapers, subway stations, etc., all kinds of places, are propaganda posters of big names.
At this time, Chairman Liu sat in the office and was a little silent, and there were two people in front of him, one was Wu Yusen, the director of [Wind Whisperer], and the other was Dong Ping, the boss of Poly Huayi. These three people are the biggest promoters behind [Wind Whisperer].
Chairman Liu took a look at the report and said: "Look at this situation, in three days, the Huayi brothers have at least smashed 3 million funds during the publicity, which is still a conservative estimate."
Didn't Mr. Dong say that the Huayi brothers don't have much liquidity? This doesn't seem normal?"
Dong Ping is also a very experienced investor, so in such a situation, after pondering for a while, he said: "I am very familiar with the financial situation of the Huayi brothers, and they have invested a lot in other aspects this year.
Otherwise, then he wouldn't have asked me to invest in the big names. After I divested, Huayi Brothers must have found other investors, otherwise there would not be so much liquidity. And the only one who dared to take over at this critical time was Ye Ming, a madman.
I can't think of anyone else who has the courage to invest in Hollywood blockbusters. And our [Wind Whisperer] doesn't have much room for publicity on the Internet, and Brilliant Network doesn't negotiate prices with us at all, don't you see anything to get into?"
As soon as these words came out, Chairman Liu and Wu Yusen were a little silent, yes, the propaganda of the big names is not inferior to [Wind Whisperer], this is still physical propaganda.
Others, that's not to mention the internet. This is Ye Ming's base camp, since Ye Ming has made an investment, he will naturally not be stingy to promote his movie.
If it weren't for Ye Ming taking over this investment, it would definitely not be this result.
