Chapter 418: The pros and cons still need to be weighed
"My Sassy Girlfriend" created a box office miracle for a small-budget film.
Many big-budget films may not be able to compare with the box office.
And the benefits that this film brings to Oriental DreamWorks are obviously not just that box office dividends.
For example, this film became popular, Chen Feier's popularity soared, and even opened up popularity in Japan, South Korea and other places.
So will there be more invitations to find her advertising endorsements and so on?
The price is naturally rising.
And of these, the company takes at least half of it.
Of course, this is just one of them.
In fact, the most profitable thing is probably that the market value of Oriental DreamWorks has risen again with this film.
And the degree of rise seems to be greater than that of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
Maybe it's because the film has done so well at the box office abroad.
Maybe it's because this film is just a small-budget film.
A low-cost romance film, the box office has exceeded 2 billion, and the foreign box office is still so amazing.
So isn't such a company worthy of the trust of shareholders?
"I now regret selling my shares in the company. Shen Ran said to Lin Mu with a smile.
"You are content!" Lin Mu said with a smile, "You chose to sell "Wolf Warrior 2" when it was a big hit, and you have already made a lot of money. ”
"As if you're not. Shen Ran said with a smile.
A lot of people actually made a move at that time.
"I'm wondering, will it make a profit if I buy Director Zhang's film before it is released and then sell it after Director Zhang's film is released?" Shen Ran said.
"You'd better take it easy!" Lin Mu said, "You don't know how to speculate in stocks, so you can still film honestly." "My Sassy Girlfriend" is so high at the box office, you still earn less? ”
"It's too!" Shen Ran nodded with a smile.
Honest filming, how stable!
"I don't know if the box office of "Shaolin Football" can break 2 billion?" Shen Ran continued.
"You really want to have a record of three consecutive films that have broken two billion at the box office!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
Is this possible?
There really is.
If this is the case, Shen Ran's box office appeal will soar, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his next filming of "Kung Fu".
"Is the heroine of "Kung Fu" still Dong Qin?" Shen Ran then asked.
"She's not a good fit. Lin Mu shook his head and said, "She probably can't look down on the heroine of this film." ”
In "Kung Fu", the dumb girl is actually not the heroine.
But if Dong Qin wants to play, he only has that role.
Could it be that she still plays the role of a charter wife?
didn't appear a few times, and there were no lines.
Even if Dong Qin acts, I am afraid it will be difficult to get box office dividends with this role.
is like "Shaolin Football", although Dong Qin can get box office dividends, because of the small number of scenes, he gets less dividends than other films.
"Her contract seems to be about to expire, right?" Shen Ran nodded and said, "Do you think she will renew her contract?"
"How do I know?" Lin Mu looked at Shen Ran and said, "Why do you care about this?"
"Where do you want to go, I'm a man with a wife. Shen Ran was stunned for a moment, then understood what Lin Mu thought, and immediately said with a smile, "I'll just ask." ”
Who is Dong Qin, how could Shen Ran not know.
Even if she has nothing to do with Xu Jiadong now, even if Shen Ran has any thoughts, it won't hit Dong Qin's idea.
"It's better if I think too much. Lin Mu said, "How many people in the circle are planted on this? ”
"I can't float if I want to!" Shen Ran said, "The company's signing of male artists may not be as fierce as the competition among female artists, but it is not without pressure." ”
"The company is constantly developing, and you still have a long way to go!" Lin Mu said.
Shen Ran nodded.
The company is now the largest film and television company in China, but the pace of progress has never stopped.
The company is still like this, not to mention that he is calm.
He still wants to enter the world.
"Shaolin Football" is set for mid-July, and the publicity has already begun, and the intensity is increasing as the time approaches.
At the end of June, "Transformers", which was filmed for more than three months, was completed.
And a week before that, "Jurassic Park" had also been completed.
Both films are very low-key.
Too high-profile at this time will only consume fans' curiosity about it, which is not conducive to the promotion of the film before its release in the future.
is so low-key, naturally there are few media reports.
At this time, their eyes were all focused on "Shaolin Football".
Now, the World Cup is in full swing, and the release of this film is undoubtedly at the right time.
Dong Qin doesn't seem to be ready to renew his contract with the company. ”
Zhang Pu returned to the company, and Jiang Xingwen told him.
Dong Qin is now a first-line star, and he was picked up by the company. If she leaves, it will undoubtedly be a loss for the company.
"You shouldn't tell me about this, right?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then said.
Dong Qin chose not to renew the contract, and Zhang Pu was still a little surprised.
After all, Oriental DreamWorks is now the largest film and television company in China, and it is also the film and television company with the most resources.
The company's benefits are not low.
And Dong Qin is still an actor who can get box office dividends.
Could it be that a film and television company offers her better conditions?
This shouldn't be possible.
"Xu Dong asked me to watch it. ”
Jiang Xingwen naturally understood what Zhang Pu meant.
Xu Jiadong actually has nothing to do with Dong Qin, but after all, he used to have some relationship.
"Let her go!" Zhang Pu said after a moment's thought.
It's good to get together and disperse!
What's more, there is no breach of contract.
Why Dong Qin left, Zhang Pu can still guess a few points.
Tang Rui has been pressing her, and Guo Yunxi is now coming behind and pressing her again. In addition, after Chen Fei'er exploded, although she didn't crush her, she was a great threat to her.
And there are many new people rising within the company.
For example, Song Yanxi.
This gave Dong Qin a great sense of crisis.
She wanted to start her own studio and be attached to the company. Jiang Xingwen said.
This is the key to him mentioning this matter to Zhang Pu.
"Huh?" Zhang Pu was a little surprised, and then said, "What is your opinion?"
Celebrities start their own studios, which was not uncommon in previous lives.
However, it is not very common in this world.
It's rare, it's not that it's not nothing.
"I'm afraid this case will ......"
Jiang Xingwen didn't finish speaking, but Zhang Pu understood the meaning very clearly.
This is for fear that others will follow suit.
There are many big-name actors in Oriental DreamWorks, and they are all actors with great box office appeal.
They are perfectly equipped to start their own studio.
"She can't be trying to avoid taxes, is she?" Zhang Pu suddenly asked.
Corporate taxes and personal taxes are completely different.
Jiang Xingwen shook his head, there may be a reason for this, but it should not be the main reason.
If she had her own studio, then the whole studio would revolve around her, not like it is now.
"It's a notoriously good thing that companies prioritize their artists. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said, "Setting up a studio and being affiliated with your own company, is it still an artist?"
Apparently not!
Will her salary, publicity fee, endorsement fee and other income be distributed to the company in proportion to the company?
Of course, it depends on how they talk to each other.
If it's through the company's resources, that's okay. But if it wasn't obtained through the company's resources, it was obvious that there would be no more branches.
Since he is not a company artist, if he appears in a company film, is there any bonus?
"It's okay to be attached to the company. Zhang Pu thought for a while and then said, "However, how to operate it, you can discuss it yourself, I don't care about this." If the rest of the company is interested, you can do it. The pros and cons, how they think about it, that's their business, we only consider it from the company's standpoint. ”
Jiang Xingwen nodded.
Starting your own studio?
Is there anyone else in the company who is tempted?
I'm afraid there really is.
However, there are gains and losses.
If it is a big-name actor from other companies, he may not hesitate much.
But Oriental DreamWorks is not necessarily.
Because setting up your own studio, even if it is affiliated with a company, is not necessarily better than before.
Dong Qin did not renew the contract and wanted to set up his own studio attached to the company.
This seems to be agreed upon by the company. This matter quickly spread within the company and caused quite a stir.
"Do you have an idea too?" Lin Mu looked at Shen Ran.
The personal relationship between the two is very good, and during this period of time, they are running for the promotion of "Shaolin Football", and Lin Mu naturally sees it.
"It's impossible to say that you don't have an idea. Shen Ran said.
Having your own studio naturally makes it a little less restrictive.
"Weigh the pros and cons yourself. Lin Mu thought for a while and said.
"Have you ever thought about setting up your own film studio?" asked Shen Ran.
Lin Mu is now famous, and there is no shortage of investment at all.
"Am I not good now?" Lin Mu said with a smile, "Do you think it would be so easy for me to set up a studio and want to get Director Zhang's script? The box office of the films I made would still be as good as they are now? Not to mention anything else, there is a company behind me, and I have one film a year, which is stable." But if you set up a studio, can you still do this? I'm afraid it won't be possible to produce a film in two years. ”
"I worked hard, and I didn't earn as much as I do now, and I had enough to eat. Lin Mu then shook his head and said, "What's more, if I have two movies, those investors will do the same to themselves?"
When Shen Ran heard it, he was stunned.
He had to think about what if he didn't have the company's resources?
Pros and cons!
"How many people in the company do you think will set up their own studios?" asked Shen Ran.
"If you are not famous enough, you are not qualified. Lin Mu said, "People like you who are famous and have certain connections in the circle have to consider whether it is worth it." Not to mention anything else, if you appear in the company's drama in the future, the box office dividend is estimated to be out of play. ”
This is indeed a problem.
Shen Ran is undoubtedly one of the people who has tasted the sweetness of box office dividends.
Like Shen Ran, there are not many people who are a little moved, but a little hesitant.
Whether it's Tang Rui or Deng Kun, it's all the same.
Perhaps, the only person who has no ideas is Zhang Chu.
He is now one of the shareholders of Oriental DreamWorks.
Zhang Pu didn't know that Dong Qin's studio had caused a lot of waves in the company.
He was busy with the post-production of "Transformers" at this time, and he had no distractions.
However, it was soon broken by one thing.
"Boss, Director Wang has beaten someone!"
Tan Siming handed the tablet to Zhang Pu and said.
"Director Wang, Wang Bo?" Zhang Pu asked with some confusion, "Did he beat someone?"
Tan Siming didn't answer, because Zhang Pu had already taken the tablet and watched the news.
Wang Bo beat people and was reported by the media.
It's a hot thing.
And public opinion seems to be somewhat unfavorable to Wang Bo.
"Idiot!" Zhang Pu pouted after reading the news and said, "Is he angry at the crown?"
