Chapter 631: Really Failed?
On the road of remorse, Gan Liangchen is definitely not alone.
One of his companions, who was richer than he was, was still swallowing the bitter fruit of his own planting.
This big guy is naturally the second richest man in China, Yang Feng, the president of Abao Technology.
Yang Feng has been really depressed recently.
After the failure of the first two films, the third TV series of Po Entertainment also failed.
And this youth love campus TV series starring two famous little fresh meat and traffic little flowers, the ratings are even worse than the previous two.
The direct average rating is only about 1%, and the highest is less than 1.3%.
When the 15th episode was broadcast, Yan Zhao Satellite TV directly called bitterly.
"Yang Dong, we really can't let it go anymore, the ratings have plummeted to 0.71%, and if we go down, we will be at the bottom!
In the face of the TV station's open default, Yang Feng had no choice.
Relationships are what he is looking for, and people naturally want to come to him.
And the reviews of this TV series are indeed too bad, and netizens have scored less than 3 points!
The rating of "Huanzhu Gege" is 8.7 points!!
Such a huge gap really made Yang Feng feel embarrassed, and he didn't have the face to beg Yan Zhao Satellite TV to finish the remaining dozen episodes.
Even, Yang Feng, who is good at being a man, also refunded the cost of the premiere rights of the remaining dozen episodes to Yanzhao Satellite TV to express his apology.
I can't help it.
People would rather lose money and not broadcast, do you still have the face to accept this money shyly?
After the news spread, Abao Entertainment didn't know how much ridicule it received.
Even many people directly ridiculed Yang Feng, who was in charge of the direction of Abao's entertainment, saying that he was a typical outsider commanding insiders.
TV series are actually nothing.
The more painful failure of Po Entertainment is still in the movie.
When Po Entertainment was established, it was decided that he would make 7 TV series, 3 movies, and buy out two Hollywood movies.
The two Hollywood movies are "Penguin Planning Bureau" for children, and the somewhat thriller action movie "The Legend of the Grim Reaper".
The two movies cost a total of 300 million yuan in buyout fees from Bao Entertainment.
As a result, "Penguin Planning Bureau", which was released on June 1, only earned 223 million yuan at the box office in 20 days of release.
The purchase cost of 120 million yuan was divided into the box office, and the loss was 40 million yuan.
If you add 20 million publicity expenses, the box office loss will be 60 million.
But compared to the "Legend of the Death" bought for 180 million, this loss is also a trivial matter.
Because it is very strange that "The Legend of the Death" came to China, because of the subject matter, specific content, dialogues and many other factors, it will not be able to pass the review section.
No matter how you modify it, you can't change it.
After three consecutive failures, the above directly gave a no, saying that you don't need to be released, completely sealing the door to the release.
Now Po Entertainment is stupid.
The 180 million buyout of the film rights in Huaguo was ruined like this?
But the arms can't twist the big legs after all.
The people above have already made up their minds to treat them severely, so even Yang Feng's own face is not good.
Obviously, the news has been spread again.
So Yang Feng became a joke again, and I don't know how many jokers got super high clicks and appreciation for his sarcasm.
You say that the movie you bought can't be released, that's fine.
After all, it's not something you can control.
But in the middle of June, when the summer vacation had already begun, Abao Entertainment took the initiative to release the first movie it produced - "My Youth, Your Life" in order to recover the decline.
Yang Feng has always believed in the impulsive consumption of young people, and his goal has always been set in the crowd of 18-28.
This group of people is also the main users of Abao.com.
I thought that there would be a good extension, and everyone would also support Abao Entertainment and support these youth stories of their age.
Unexpectedly, reality gave Yang Feng a resounding slap in the face.
Now that it has been released for almost 7 days, "My Youth Your Life" has been released on more than 1,700 screens across the country, and the total box office is only more than 23 million.
Right.
You read that right, it's just over 23 million!
7 days!
And the No. 1 movie invited by the movie, Xiaosheng Chi Bin, spent 8 million, and the TV series Xiaohua Boy Man also spent 3 million.
The labor cost of the overall staff has reached 25 million!
Not to mention the cost of shooting, publicity and so on.
In fact, after the three-day box office rout in the first weekend, many movie theater chains have greatly reduced their film schedules, and now more than 300 movie theaters are still being released, which is already because Boss Yang has a lot of face.
With an investment of almost 80 million, it seems that the total box office can reach 40 million thank God.
The investment amount of "My Youth Your Life" is 40 million less than that of "Penguin Planning Bureau", but its loss may be millions more than that of "Penguin Planning Bureau".
Where did you let Yang Feng's old face go?
Yang Feng didn't scold a group of high-level executives of Abao Entertainment like Gan Liangchen.
He just gathered the group of people together and asked them what was wrong.
"Is our approach really wrong? High investment, good book adaptations, popular actors, large exposure, large-scale promotion and marketing...... Isn't Hollywood like this?" Yang Feng said to them with a wry smile, "You all tell me about it, see what the crux is!"
A group of people looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
Sang Cai, the president of Abao Entertainment, is Yang Feng's hardcore, and when everyone doesn't speak, he can only talk to him.
He stubbornly said: "Maybe we haven't found the audience's taste! Sometimes the wind direction of the film market is very strange, and when we shoot it, this genre is still very popular, but when we shoot it and release it, it becomes obsolete!"
"Yes, yes, yes!
Jiang Guangge, the vice president in charge of the film, nodded repeatedly.
"Your statement is incorrect, how do many filmmakers who make hot topics succeed?" Yang Feng shook his head and said, "For example, Chu Liuxiang's "The Gift of Room No. 7", the books have been released for 10 months, and they are not outdated!"
Can our movie compare with "The Gift of Room No. 7"?
A group of subordinates couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Seeing that they refused to talk like this, Yang Feng was angry in his heart.
He thought to himself, could it be that his luck was so bad?
After buying and digging so many companies, no one can help them build a country?
Seeing that Yang Feng was angry, Zhang Shouzheng, the president of Yuzu.com next to him, was in a relaxed mood.
He muttered and changed the topic: "Yang Dong, I have seen that our TV series and movies have been a little frustrated recently...... Why don't we start on Mr. Ma Lu Xiaofeng's variety show next month to divert everyone's attention, what do you say?"
Yang Feng is not interested in variety shows or anything.
In his heart, he still needs movies and TV series to represent the entertainment industry.
But at this time, he didn't have any other good way to get out of the predicament, so he could only nodded, "Okay, let's go! You guys promote it well, with Lu Xiaofeng's creativity, if the variety show is embarrassing, then it can't be said!"
"Yes!"
Compared with Yang Feng, Zhang Shouzheng's confidence is very full, "Teacher Lu said, I don't dare to say anything else about this show, but the style can still hold up! ”
Yang Feng sounded a little harsh.
Isn't this sarcastic that all his strategies have failed, and he has to rely on Shen Huan's variety show to save the scene?
But he couldn't say anything against it.
Because Shen Huan has always proved his success with various identities, but Yang Feng has been a failure in the entertainment industry.
This feeling of aggrieved really makes Boss Yang, who has always been smooth, very depressed!
