Chapter 690: Digging a Pit
"Burning money?"
Obviously, listening to Lin Yang's words, everyone was a little puzzled, and Li Menghong asked even more suspiciously: "What do you mean? Aren't you going to participate in a variety show? How can you have to go up to 30 million to participate in a variety show at your current value." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"That's 30 million. ”
Cai Jianguo on the side said: "Although Lin Yang's value in the industry is not top, he must be the top in the variety show." ”
Everyone agrees with this, no way, just look at the ratings of the variety shows that Lin Yang participated in, Lin Yang has always been the mascot of the variety show industry, but Lin Yang has been busy with albums, TV series, and movies for more than a year, and it is precisely because of this that if Lin Yang revealed through the studio that he was about to participate in the variety show at this time, then it is conceivable how many people will be willing to participate.
Therefore, Lin Yang said that he was going to burn money, and everyone said that they did not understand.
At this time, Lin Yang smiled and said: "You misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean to participate in variety shows, but to make a variety show." ”
"Making a variety show?"
Everyone was shocked, of course, this is just Lin Yang's own plan, and all this must be talked about later, Lin Yang has no intention of getting a variety show in a short time, so Lin Yang did not explain too much.
And in Lin Yang's view, the current top priority is not anything else, but whether the box office of "Nightclub" can go further!
In the face of the reporter's interview, Lin Yang also took the initiative to reveal that he would hold a celebration party for "Nightclub" in late October.
After Li Menghong's album meeting ended, the media naturally reported how good Li Menghong's album was, and of course, some media reported on what Lin Yang said about the celebration party that "Nightclub" was going to be held.
"Compared to "Nightclub", this time "The Martian" is a bit of a big hole. ”
"Hehe, it's not just a big pit, you look at their box office on the first day, then look at the box office of the first week, and then look at today's real-time box office, in one word, miserable. ”
"According to the current predictions, the box office of "The Martian" will definitely be GG, and I guess they will have to lose their lives. ”
"I think so too, Lin Yang is really on the same page with Huayi Records now. ”
......
For the celebration party of "Nightclub", I have to say that many film and television giants have the mentality of watching jokes, or they like to see it.
Film and television giants are originally competing with each other and encroaching on each other, Huayi Records has always been in the top ten in music, but as a result, they are not satisfied with music, and they have to dabble in the film and television industry.
For Huayi Records, he began to touch his hands in the film and television industry, especially when he came up, he cooperated with Jingren Film and Television to directly invest in blockbusters like "The Martian", directed by Li Jing, starring Bao Shi'an and Fan Qi, it can be said that no one in this movie has ever thought of failure.
As a result, no one expected this to be such a situation!
Isn't this what is a big Puben?
In the second week, the total box office of "Nightclub" has reached 38 million, but the total box office of "The Martian" is only 390 million!
And the box office on the last day of "The Martian" was only 2 million, which can be said to have shrunk again!
If "The Martian" hadn't been so crazy at the beginning of the post-publicity, then the current results would have actually paid off, although it won't make money, but it won't lose a lot.
But because of the fight with "Nightclub", or because of the sniping of "Nightclub", coupled with the misjudgment of the situation, and Huayi Records, which was difficult to ride the tiger at that time, had to increase the publicity and distribution costs again and again, unlike Lin Yang's various publicity, the only way Huayi Records can promote is to spend money.
Therefore, the cost of production and publicity is almost as high as 200 million, and this cost is also unexpected by Huayi Records and Jingren Film and Television, and Jingren Film and Television also spent a lot of money in the distribution of Jingren Film and Television to get 45 films.
Everything adds up, this "The Martian" must exceed 500 million to not lose money, but now, it is impossible to exceed 500 million, and the cooperation between Prospect Film and Television and Huayi Records is Sanqi cooperation, which means that the loss of Huayi Records may continue to be as high as 50 million.
This time, Huayi Records is no longer vomiting blood!
Zhang Hao was even more bombarded and questioned on the board of directors!
"Tian Liangchun's album has already lost 40 million, and now our loss of "The Martian" has reached 50 million, and our Huayi record can be said to have suffered a heavy loss this year. ”
"Zhang Dong, this movie was shot and produced by you at that time, and you have to take full responsibility for this matter. ”
"Not to mention anything else, the loss of the movie "The Martian", I think Zhang Dong, you should give us an explanation. ”
"At that time, you said that the money lost on Tian Liangchun's album would be earned back on "The Martian", and what was the result?"
......
There was a lot of noise in the conference room, and when Tian Liangchun's album failed fiasco, the shareholders on the scene still spoke strongly for Zhang Hao, after all, a fiasco didn't mean anything.
But who would have thought that "The Martian" would continue to fail miserably, when the publicity and distribution costs of "The Martian" increased repeatedly, everyone raised objections, but at that time Zhang Hao was full of confidence, so now in such a situation, such a pot, who will Zhang Hao not carry?
Zhao Dong, who was sitting on the side, waved his hand: "Everyone, be quiet, I believe that Zhang Dong will definitely give us all an explanation." ”
The chief Zhang Hao can be said to be on fire in his heart, and more of a sense of powerlessness, this time the fiasco of "The Martian" is indeed his main responsibility, especially Zhao Dong always wants him to step down as the chairman.
In the past two years, Huayi Records' shares have been diluted, and at the same time, Zhao Dong's shares, as the second shareholder, are increasing, and the number of voters in the shareholders' meeting is becoming more and more unfavorable for him, he didn't care in the past, because after all, Huayi Records has a lot of credit to today, and Huayi Records, which has a clear goal, needs him to make money.
These shareholders are also strong supporters of him.
But who would have thought that his two major trump card investments this year were all failures, and they were fiascos!
Tian Liangchun's album was on the shelves and was besieged by Han Sha and Lin Xuan!
"The Martian" suffered from the sniping of "Nightclub" before the publicity cost was out of control!
Lin Yang!!
Zhang Hao couldn't have imagined that Lin Yang, who was allowed to be manipulated by himself, would cause himself such a big trouble.
90 million !!
Huayi Records' loss this year is as high as 90 million, who will bear the blame if he doesn't bear the blame for this loss?
Therefore, although there is some trouble in the face of shareholders, after all, when they make money, they all kinds of praise show their favor, but as soon as they lose money, they immediately change their faces, damn, although Zhang Hao knows that these goods in front of him are this virtue, but he still has to suppress his anger and say: "Investment is originally a win and a failure, although we failed in the album and movie, but our cooperation with Yanjing Satellite TV this year "The Masked Singer" will definitely not lose, and the advertising fee is even willing to pay 100 million, which is a sure win." ”
"That's right. ”
As soon as Zhang Hao's voice fell, his cronies waved their flags and shouted: "That's right, although Zhang Dong went in the wrong direction these two times, and our company also suffered heavy losses, this does not mean that Zhang Dong's direction is wrong, I believe that "The Masked Singer" will definitely usher in a turnaround." ”
"That's right, I think we should look at the follow-up, one or two failures are nothing. ”
......
Zhang Hao saw that the conference room finally sounded with approval, and he smiled, but at this time Zhao Dong said: "Yes, one or two failures are really nothing, but the combined losses of these two times are as high as 90 million." ”
Zhao Dong's words once again made the shareholders feel painful.
90 million !!
What is this concept?
These shareholders feel like they're cutting their flesh just by thinking about it!
As for Zhang Hao, he was angry: "Zhao Dong, I said it, the 90 million lost this time will be earned back in the follow-up income of "The Masked Singer", and this time "The Masked Singer" will have a lot of people join us Huayi Records, and if this intangible value soars again, the artists of our Huayi Records will usher in a blowout." ”
"Hehe, but what if "The Masked Singer" fails again?"
Zhao Dong sneered: "So will Dong Zhang continue to say that we will definitely earn it back in the next step?"
"Zhao Dong, you don't have to provoke me, don't worry, if "The Masked Singer" fails again, then I will resign directly from the position of chairman. ”
Zhang Hao said without thinking at this time: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"No, I just hope that Zhang Dong can fulfill his promise. ”
Zhao Dong laughed: "I also think about everyone's interests." ”
After the meeting ended, Zhang Hao was a little annoyed and took the lead in leaving!
As for a shareholder beside Zhao Dong, he smiled bitterly: "Lao Zhao, you are a little radical, how can "The Masked Singer" lose if it has the foundation of the first two seasons?"
Zhao Dong said indifferently: "At that time, didn't Tian Liangchun's album and the movie "The Martian" always say that they would not lose? ”
......
Zhang Hao, who returned to the office, angrily smashed the teacup, and at this time Zhang Hao called directly: "I think we need to discuss it again." ”
......
In the third week, the single-day box office of both "The Martian" and "Nightclub" is already very small, but for "The Martian", this already represents the failure of the movie, because it is difficult to break 400 million at the box office in the end.
But for "Nightclub", it represents success, at the end of three weeks, the box office of "Nightclub" reached 32 million, according to this trend, the box office of "Nightclub" should eventually reach about 45 million, and with the release of "Nightclub" on video websites and Xiangjiang and Baodao in the later period, "Nightclub" has become a low-cost dark horse without any dispute.
On October 22nd, "Nightclub" officially held a celebration party!
As the three leading actors of "Nightclub", Feng Hua, Zhang Haoran, and Du Weiwei also attended, and in addition, the other leading actors also attended collectively!
This time, the celebration party made by 'Little Ocean Wave Run' is not small, but they invited directors and stars with their own interests, and the media directly refused.
In Dong Bin's view, this celebration will be more like an internal drinking party!
"Lin Yang, I want to apologize to you!"
This time, Feng Wen and his wife Jiang Ying also attended, and he came to Lin Yang and said seriously: "I admit that I wasn't optimistic about "Nightclub" at all before, and even I thought that this was a garbage movie that you made up nonsense, and then I thought that using Xiaohua was nothing more than borrowing my momentum. ”
"Uncle Feng, you are real. ”
Lin Yang smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Feng Wen to tell him directly.
Feng Wen laughed: "A misjudgment is a misjudgment, there is nothing to say about this, in short, thank you for extravagance." ”
Saying that, Feng Wen and Lin Yang touched their wine glasses!
Because the real success of the movie "Nightclub" lies in the return of Zhang Haoran, but at this time, this movie is also very important to Feng Hua, because this movie makes Feng Hua's start very important.
Not to mention the role of Xiao Gangya, Feng Hua's acting skills are not mentioned online, many people look at Feng Hua who has changed his hairstyle and glasses and does not recognize it at all, which is also where Feng Hua is greatly praised.
Feng Wen came today mainly to mend the relationship with Lin Yang, as for cooperation, he didn't think about it, in Feng Wen's opinion, Lin Yang has no trend of cooperating with himself at present, and even what is not good is that Feng Wen has always focused on middle-aged and elderly audiences, which has nothing to do with Lin Yang.
After Feng Wen and Jiang Ying left, Zhao Yingjie, Zhou Nan, Gao Jun, and Wang Baoguo also came over, especially Zhao Yingjie was in good spirits at happy events, not to mention the successful release of the first big movie in his life, and it may also create a miracle of small-budget films.
Gao Jun said with some amusement: "I said Lao Zhao, don't you talk about it today, do you say that you have been talking like you in the past 20 days?"
"That's right, Lao Zhao is inflated, and it's quite inflated. ”
Wang Baoguo also nodded seriously and said, "I think we can temporarily ban him for a while." ”
Zhou Nan said: "This, I see it." ”
"No, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, can't I? ”
Although Zhao Yingjie said that he was wrong, he couldn't stop laughing.
"It's very lively. ”
At this moment, a hearty voice sounded, and everyone hurriedly stood up when they saw the comer.
High holes!
No one thought that Gao Kong would come to this celebration banquet, compared with directors such as Gao Jun and Wang Baoguo, Gao Kong's reputation in the industry can be said to be far beyond their comparison.
