Chapter 173: Zhang Hong's Ambition (4400 words)

Wang Zhi sat paralyzed on the chair, just like "Ge You paralysis" in a suit.

He's in a strange mood right now.

Let's talk about jealousy, I'm really jealous.

But it's okay to say it's particularly painful.

It's even a little inexplicably relieved!

He himself felt that this mentality was strange.

But until the last minute, he definitely can't give up!

In the sea of the new era, he still wants to have a ticket of his own!

With a determination in his heart, he raised his head and said decisively: "Contact the distributor immediately and ask if you can let the theater increase the proportion of films." They are also urged to continue to increase their marketing efforts. ”

The assistant nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and then asked, "Director Wang, do you want to ...... to Director Zhang Hong?"

Bite one's tongue.

Wang Zhi understood what he meant.

Do you want to find the financier behind it, and then increase the intensity of smearing Zhang Hong.

"Yes. Wang Zhi nodded in agreement.

However, he added, "Remember, only pick on the movie itself, don't target their people." ”

Picking the thorns of the other party's movies is a normal means of competition.

It's still playing within the rules of the game.

But skipping this part to discredit the other party is a subordinate operation.

Wang Zhi disdained to do it.

The assistant nodded in understanding.

"Alright, you go and rest first, and these things will be dealt with tomorrow. ”

Waiting for the assistant to leave, Wang Zhi leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling.

In the middle of the night, he stood up.

For a moment, he felt a golden light rise in front of him.

Luckily, it only took a second or two to get back to normal.

"It seems that he is really old, and he will faint after sitting for a long time. ”

Moved his shoulders and neck, and made a gurgling sound.

When his body was alive, he took out his mobile phone, opened the ticketing APP, and fixed his eyes on the "Idol Legend".

I bought a ticket for the night show in the early morning.

Wang Zhi closed his phone, changed into a sweatshirt and running shoes, and left the office.

"Take a walk and go and see it again......"

............

"The box office is out!"

Beijing, Lin family villa.

Just about to get the box office data, Lin Chuan ran to the living room to report to his sister.

No way, this is the request of the "devil", if he doesn't do it, he may die a miserable death.

No, it's going to die a terrible death.

Today, the four members of the Lin family went to their grandfather's house for the New Year, and after dinner, their parents were pulled by their grandparents to play mahjong, and their brothers and sisters went home early.

To be precise, Lin Muqing went home, and Lin Chuan was assigned by her to ask for the first-day box office data.

Just got it back now.

Miss Lin, who was on the sofa in the living room with Erlang's legs crossed, took a sip of tea, and then took the document in a timely manner.

[""Tired of Winning", first-day box office: 29.9644 million (including the premiere box office of 8.1451 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 4

"Idol Legend", first-day box office: 60.0577 million (including the premiere box office of 22.4413 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 1]

Her eyes lit up even more.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Wang Zhi's data again.

["Qingcheng Dart Game", first-day box office: 33.7137 million (including the premiere box office of 2.1755 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 3]

She was relieved.

Then I don't know what came to mind, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her green fingers touched the four words "Director Zhang Hong" in front of "Idol Legend" on the document.

His finger paused on "Zhang Hong".

"Does that make you more confident? If you can be brave......

Lin Chuan, who was pouring water next to him, heard his sister's muttering and wondered, "What?"

"Nothing, what are you supposed to do. ”

Lin Muqing brushed his hair and no longer cared about Lin Chuan.

"Am I mistaken? I'm busy before and after, and I haven't even said thank you? Am I a tool man......

Seeing his sister pick up the phone, Lin Chuan decisively stopped talking anymore.

He suddenly laughed, "I understand!"

After understanding, he planned to go back to the house, and when he unscrewed the door of his bedroom, he turned around and blinked, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you~"

Lin Muqing: "......"

Sighing slightly, Lin Muqing adjusted his mentality and dialed Zhang Hong's phone.

Soon, it was connected.

"Hey ......"

Hearing the man's voice, Miss Lin subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, "What's the matter, I have no strength on the first day of the new year." ”

"You don't know what I've been through...... I lost playing mahjong, one person lost three ......"

Miss Lin is in a better mood.

She played with the ends of her hair and asked, "Oh, how much did you lose?"

"Forty-five ......"

The eldest lady almost laughed, "That's a lot of ......"

How small are they really fighting?

A dime or two?

"Nonsense! No matter how much it is, it's gambling! Just play with the elders, I just didn't expect them to be so ruthless......"

"Poof......

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Hong hurriedly explained, "It's just that I'm depressed after losing for an afternoon in a row! I really don't care about those dozens of dollars!"

I really don't care!

"Heh......" Miss Lin didn't want to continue this topic, otherwise according to her understanding, Zhang Hongbacheng would be annoyed and angry.

She glanced at the document in her hand and said, "The box office came out on the first day." ”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Lin Muqing only heard some voices such as "dark bar" and "light cannon", as well as the sound of rubbing mahjong.

After a while, Zhang Hong's increasingly tired voice came, "Oh...... How's the box office going......"

Obviously, someone is nonsense again.

The person who lost the money must still be Zhang Hong.

So Lin Muqing planned to tell him a few good news.

""Tired of Victory" 29.96 million. ”

"Huh?" a panicked voice came from the other side, "You wait a minute!"

Then the mechanical female voice of "Zero, Zero, Zero" came from the earpiece into Lin Muqing's ears.

"Two ninety-nine million million words...... Forty-five percent is 13,630,000!

These two movies add up to 45 million!

Among them, 40 million in "Tired of Victory" and 5 million in "Idol Legend"!

And in fact, Zhang Hong himself contributed 40 million, and the 5 million for filming "Idol Legend" was the "Young Director Support Shooting Fund" given by Wu Dingguo!

In other words, if there is a box office of 30 million every day......

No, it will take less than four days for him to recoup his costs!

Then he can earn more than forty percent for every movie ticket sold later!

That's all pure gain!

Zhang Hong's mind went blank.

Actually, he wouldn't have been.

Money is really not enough, and he is not the kind of person who gets into the eyes of money.

It's just that his goal...... He needs to be able to make money, and then make money, and finally succeed in standing in the position that he is qualified to stand on.

He was actually very anxious in the past two days, but he just didn't show it.

Otherwise, how could he play mahjong and lose an afternoon in a row?

This is a sign of restlessness.

It was a trivial matter to throw the 40 million million with all his net worth into it, mainly because he was afraid that his hopes would be dashed.

The most painful thing for him is not the lack of hope.

Instead, I can see hope, and even touch the threshold, but it is the feeling of being stopped at the door and unable to enter.

As the saying goes, "If hope is lost, it is better not to give hope in the first place".

Seeing that he was so excited, Zhang Hao on the other side muttered quietly, "Isn't it more than 10 million, is it necessary to be so excited......

He was extremely unhappy.

Damn, why did you let this kid earn it?

Looking at his eyes, I am afraid that it is impossible to leave the entertainment industry in this life.

What's so good about this broken circle?

Actor, director, singer.

It seems to be very glamorous to say, but compared to the big entrepreneurs, everyone knows which has a higher status.

Well, actually, he's just sour.

Why can this kid do what he likes, but he can't?

Originally, I wanted my son to inherit the family business as a tool, and then he could take his wife to retire leisurely......

However, Zhang Hongzheng was immersed in excitement and didn't hear what he said.

Lin Muqing on the other side of the phone interrupted his excitement, "Are you excited? Aren't you? Aren't you afraid that Wang Zhi will lose the bet if the box office is higher than you?"

Zhang Hong's face was full of righteousness, "What kind of gambling contract? What kind of gambling agreement? Lin Muqing, I can warn you, gambling is illegal! You are still young, but you must not embark on the road of crime!"

Miss Lin: "......"

Didn't Zhang Hong say that he had a gambling contract with Wang Zhi at the beginning?

Over there, Zhang Hong continued: "And I didn't say anything about the gambling contract at the beginning, even if there was a gambling contract, I didn't say anything to bet on, right? Take a step back, even if there is a bet, but do I admit it? Do you have any words? You must know that what a man says is like a fart that he releases!"

"Isn't it because they were released...... Can't get it back?"

"No, it's a fart when you talk, and I don't care at all. ”

Lin Muqing smiled again.

Sure enough, chatting with Zhang Hong always makes her feel happy.

This guy is obviously a person with a lot of humor.

"Then do you want to know about his box office?"

"Surely I want to!"

After Zhang Hong finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to know how uncomfortable he is after being defeated by me, and I don't want to repay him, I just vent my anger for Uncle Sun and Uncle Liu." ”

Lin Muqing teased: "I understand, you Director Zhang Da is broad-minded. ”

"No, no, no, brother, this is just a pectoral muscle, then you must not be broad-minded. "Zhang Hong is very modest.

Visually it's either 34D or 36D, which is definitely wider than yourself.

In other words, Zhang Hong, as a straight man, can't tell which one is bigger, 36C or 34D.

Anyway, in his impression, D must be bigger than C, right?

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing. Zhang Hong hurriedly changed the topic, "Then is his box office higher than me or lower than me?"

"Taller than you. Lin Dajiao no longer sells Guanzi, "He is millions higher than your "Tired of Victory". ”

"Oh. ”

Zhang Hong couldn't say disappointed.

After all, in fact, the uncle's box office has nothing to do with him.

All he knew was that he was about to get back to his roots.

"But ......," Lin Changleg added, "Your "Idol Legend" box office is higher than his. ”

“!!!”

Zhang Hong took the case, "What the hell?!, the box office of 5 million can exceed 30 million on the first day?!"

Zhang Hao, who was sitting on the opposite side, looked at the messed up mahjong table and filled his head with black lines.

He flipped over the card he had just touched in his hand - the chicken.

Lao Tzu's Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern!

Also, why is there another 30 million?

What did Lao Lin do?

Say okay, "I do things you don't worry"?

"It's not just 30 million~~" Lin Hei Chang Straight, Long Legs, Big Big said in a relaxed tone, "It's 60 million~~"

Puff ——!

"What's wrong with you?"

Hearing the movement over there, Miss Lin felt a pang in her heart and stood up suddenly.

"It's okay...... Zhang Hong's calm voice came from there, "It's just that my legs are weak." ”

Lin Muqing grinned, not knowing whether to laugh or be sarcastic.

"You wait a while, wait for me to slow down. Zhang Hong didn't look at the other three at the table with the same expressions as the hillbillies.

He just shuddered and pulled out his calculator and began to calculate.

Forty out of sixty million...... That's 27 million!

Twenty-seven million plus one thousand six hundred thousand are ...... Four thousand six hundred and sixty thirty thousand!

That's ...... Returning to the basics?

Zhang Hong suddenly had a feeling of unreality, and he felt that his vision was dizzy.

There was a buzzing in my ears, and I felt like the world was spinning.

It's like just getting drunk and walking down the road, and as you walk, you go from straight to diagonal.

"Zhang Hong, are you okay?"

"It's fine. ”

Zhang Hong couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes, "I'm just...... I think it's a bit unreal. ”

It's back in one day!

This is the money that can fall into his hands after deducting all the money that has been distributed to others!

Or the money that fell to the company.

But the company is his! This is equivalent to investing his own money in movies, and then the money he earns is of course his own!

It's no wonder that in the previous life, those capitals had to go to the film industry to intervene after they became popular with Xiao Xianrou, even if they knew that these traffic stars had poor acting skills, they had to go to the movie to intervene.

Zhang Hong originally thought that it was because the coffee position of movie actors was higher than that of TV drama actors and variety show actors, but now it seems that capital still pays more attention to monetary returns.

However, with such a high return, it is no wonder that the status of film directors and actors is high.

thinks of him Zhang Hong, who successfully debuted in the TV drama industry for one year and has no opponent in China.

not only broke the upper limit of various ratings, but even won the two most authoritative awards in the domestic TV drama industry within one year!

The result?

The filming of "Clouds Falling Red Dust" plus the post-production period of three or four months, sold to video websites for 30 million!

As a result, the money was used to make TV series again.

After all, it took him more than a year to shoot the TV series.

He hasn't stopped for more than a year.

"Clouds Fall into the Red Dust", "Flags of the Fathers", "Mobile Suit", "Rich Detective" ......

has refilmed so many TV series in a row, and these TV series are all classics of word-of-mouth ratings/click-through rates!

And then what?

In total, I only saved 40 million!

Now it only takes one day to make a movie......

What a day!

It's no wonder that in the previous life, in addition to the small fresh meat held by the capital, all cats and dogs had to come to get a piece of the pie.

Shoot PPT slides, variety show movies, TV series movies, no wonder!

After sighing, Zhang Hong suddenly reacted.

Doesn't this mean that from tomorrow onwards, every dollar added to the box office, you will be able to get a share of four cents and five cents?

This makes a lot of money!

He suddenly gained confidence.

This feeling is probably like a blind date for a young man from an ordinary working family, because he has not taken out a loan to buy a car and a house by himself, and the house is a 130-square-meter house in the city, and the car is a BMW 3 Series.

He is the most beautiful boy in the blind date market in the village this year!

Not caring about the eyes of his father and grandparents urging him, Zhang Hong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xiaoqing, after these two movies are released, I want to rest and rest, do you have time to travel with me then?" I want to go to the beach." ”

"Yes. Lin Muqing's voice over there seemed to be a lot softer, "Then do you want to call the rest of the company?" My family has several resort islands in the Pacific Ocean, so you can go and play when the time comes." ”

Don't let them go with you!

She also wants to be alone!

It's a pity that Miss Lin's heart is bumping into each other, but Zhang Hong's heart is half cold.

What?

Island?

How many seats?

Ning Dingning is not talking about the game of the island tycoon, but in reality?

How much does it cost to spend a vacation on an island......

It's a couple of seats......

Zhang Hong suddenly came back to his senses, "Well, let's call everyone together when the time comes, there are many people, and it can be regarded as a celebration holiday for everyone." ”

Lin Muqing: "......"

She snapped and hung up.

This dead wood!

Miss Lin Dai is not in a beautiful mood right now.

Over there, Zhang Hong also silently put down the phone.

Zhang Hong's ambitions were temporarily shattered.

But there's still hope for him!

If you can succeed once, you can succeed a second time!

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Zhang Hong's fighting spirit was ignited again!

Refreshed, Zhang Hong sat back down on the mahjong table, "Come! Let's fight until dawn!"

The night lasted until four o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Hong lost another 300 yuan.
