Chapter 24: In America (part 4 of 6)

Boss Lu helped ByteDance move the platform last time, and then he didn't pretend to be much, he knew that he was the major shareholder of Jump directly, and he wouldn't quit halfway...

Many investors invest in certain projects, not to help become bigger, but to cash out, raise valuations, and change their methods every day to think about how to do the game, how to cut the next round of leeks...

So, the plate of shared bicycles is very big!

No one cares if there is a viable profit model for this plate...

Teacher Lu is different, he simply wants to help Zhang Yiming do big ByteDance, so after ByteDance launched Wukong Q&A, he helped the platform...

Wukong's Q&A is of course Zhihu!

His answer was quickly screenshotted and uploaded to Weibo, and many people discussed it...

'The salary of celebrities is too high to hold down the price!' or 'Why can a commercial film have such a high investment'...

And what's 'niche hobbies don't mean there is no market'...

However, in today's cinema system, niche means that no one watches it!

Zeng Guangxian, who hasn't shown up for a long time, said a word: Orange has a professional green light system, and will produce three to five literary films every year, these directors have favorite actors, we will help contact, the script is well written, if the director himself has no problem, the actors don't care much about the salary, your so-called salary is too high, most of them are the actors' prevarication, Director Cao's "The Murder Chaser" found Liu Ye and Zhang Yi, and the two symbolically lost 200,000 yuan in salary, and spent all the cost on production. But both of them are paid seven figures externally...

That's right, except for the last one.

Zeng Guangxian has not been in contact with the market for a long time, and he is in charge of projects that are all 'losing money', "Tell them, I went by white crane", "I am not Wang Mao", "North by Northeast" and the like, thinking that the seven-figure salary is already the highest in the market...

He didn't know to what extent the salary had risen - Liu Shishi took over "The Legend of the Female Doctor: Concubine Ming", with a salary of 500,000 yuan for a single episode.

It's very humane!

Her external quotations are all 800,000 episodes...

Lu Xiaoran didn't come out to beep again, he was working with David Fink to determine the itinerary after that.

......

American movie propaganda is very old-fashioned, smashing materials, and being on the show...

The trailers played in major theaters...

Recently, there have been a few more online promotions, and the so-called online propaganda is to register an account, and then use the character's name to guide the topic...

Low exploded!

Boss Lu asked, can't you buy hot searches?

Buy more hot searches on Twitter and Facebook...

The keywords are all 'Gravity is too good', 'the best sci-fi film ever' and so on.

“... It's too much money spent, and these users may not be willing to go to the movies, we have made statistics, the theoretical number of viewers of "Gravity" should be between 10 million and 15 million, and we don't need to mobilize more people!"

"How do you know what they like?"

"We have special statistics!"

“... Listen to me, we spent $40 million in publicity this time, in addition to fixed materials and theater trailers, more money is used to buy hot searches!"

“OK!”

David Fink shrugged, although he didn't think it was a good idea, but who made Lu Xiaoran the boss?

The American elite is like this, they feel that everyone is independent, and it is difficult for you to influence them...

This is really not the case, under the influence of herd psychology, there are still many people who buy tickets...

"What about Wen Ziren?"

“... He's downstairs, you want to see him?"

"Don't be hungry, I'll go find him myself!"

......

"What is this?"

"A proposal for a film project, called "The Great Wall", you can take a look!"

Wen Ziren looked at it, probably the story is that humans fight monsters, mixed with the plot of two foreigners stealing gunpowder from China...

"Monster movies?"

"Yes!"

"How much to invest?"

"$100 million. ”

"Shall I shoot?"

"Yes!"

“... Okay, I'll go back and look into it..."

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, I have the overall setting and story structure, but you can write the specific script yourself..."

"Why?"

“... Because the monster movies made by those big screenwriters are too mentally retarded. ”

The setting of "The Great Wall" is really good, the whole country fights monsters, the question is that Mao wants to pin the hopes of all mankind on foreigners?

Too individualistic, even if Matt's cute salary alone is half of that of all actors...

Also, the setting of gluttony is too rubbish, in addition to being able to fight, it seems that there is no other ability, add a little IQ to the beastmaster, he has his own demon servant, and he has been lurking in the world for a long time, and the reason why gluttony can make holes and bypass the Great Wall is because of the help of demon servants.

You know, the fortress will only be breached from within!

Lu Xiaoran added these settings, but the specific script work was handed over to Wen Ziren...

Why let Wen Ziren direct "The Great Wall", in fact, Mr. Lu feels a little indebted to him, according to the big golden retriever, Wen Ziren's trajectory should be "Fast and Furious 7", "The Conjuring" movie universe, "Aquaman", and then crowned a big director of commercial films in one fell swoop!

"Aquaman" reached $1.09 billion at the global box office, surpassing "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" to become the highest box office record for a DC movie...

Wen Ziren is really awesome, in the "Annabelle" series and "Nun" series under the "Conjuring" universe system, Wen Ziren retired as a producer and supported various directors to shoot.

All of them were big sellers!

He can independently direct super A-level projects!

Therefore, "The Great Wall" can be regarded as a spoil for him, it is a blockbuster, everyone is happy, and it doesn't matter if it is not filmed...

Boss Lu can afford to lose!

Wen Ziren nodded: "Okay... By the way, I watched "Gravity"!"

"How?"

“... You're amazing, this movie made me feel like watching Avatar for the first time!"

Director Lu was a little embarrassed: "It's too exaggerated!"

"It's true, in the genre of space-themed films, this is achieved with new photography, special effects, and 2D transformation to 3D technology, which is definitely an innovation in film history!"

"Thank you, and hopefully Cameron thinks so too. ”

"Do you need a recommendation from me?"

“... Yes, do you have Twitter?"

"Of course, my Twitter followers are 890,000!"

Wen Ziren looked proud...

Lu Xiaoran took out her mobile phone, clicked on Weibo, and then looked at the number of her fans: 63.45 million...

Wen Ziren poked his head, glanced at it, and closed himself...

What is the concept of 60 million?

At present, Lao Mei's most popular moldy mold has only more than 70 million fans worldwide!

"I'm going to USC tomorrow to screen Gravity, any suggestions?"

“... Don't talk about politics!"

"I'm not a fool, talk about Maoist politics!"

"That's gone, good luck!"
