Chapter 160: The Little Inside Story of the Breaking Point (1/6)

"All of them are going to be directors... Exaggeration, right?"

"It's not an exaggeration, in the first two years, as long as you are a little famous, you can be a director! I know, there are several companies looking for sugar candy to be a director!"

However, Lu Xiaoran's words changed: "However, if you want to do this in the future, it will be difficult!"

"How?"

"Capital is moving away from the film industry. The film industry has changed from a few years ago to a lack of money in the past few years, and there must be money for projects, and it will gradually become a lack of money for the whole industry, and projects cannot be opened or the budget will be greatly reduced..."

"Capital far away?"

Lu Xiaoran picked up the cup, took a sip, and then said: "No matter which industry, it is an eternal truth that people go with money, in the past two years, the influx of hot money has raised industry expectations, the status of TV stations has decreased, and Internet video has continued to lose money... In two years at most, there will be a shortage of money!"

Dou Wentao blinked his eyes: "No..."

"You don't know how excessive they are, signing yin and yang contracts, engaging in auctions, completely treating laymen as Kaizi, living in five-star hotels and first-class cabins, and investors living in small hotels... Don't take them seriously at all. ”

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"Big and small contracts?"

"Yes!"

“... Let's not say who it is, to participate in a movie, in three days, 60 million in hand, and the contract is signed for 20 million... Generally speaking, it means that the star took a small amount of public remuneration, and also took a large amount of money in the form of a yin contract, even if he wanted to sue him, he couldn't sue without evidence. ”

"The forty million..."

"Settle accounts in other ways..."

Other ways...

It's very simple, the most common way is to add 'investment', for example, for example, this person only needs 5 million, but in fact he wants 7 million, so how to give it? That is, after signing, the shooting time should be extended, plus 1 million, and then the shooting time should be extended, and another 1 million will be added.

Or script revision, to drill into the sea of fire, to roll down from the mountain, anyway, all kinds of tricks, clever names, enough for your money.

Or, in addition to the actor contract, you are getting an art director, planning, distribution and the like...

Want to give you money, isn't it simple?

"What about an auction?"

"For example, when making movies and TV series, sometimes the amount is a bit scary, and the origin is unknown, and it is not easy to sign a contract, so you can pull into the art market and play together. The listed company offered a labor remuneration of 50 million yuan to a certain star, and the star used the money to buy a work of art at the auction, but this art is actually the private property of the boss. That is, these 50 million, went around in a circle, from the company, from the stock market, from the pockets of shareholders, made a circle, and returned to the boss's own pocket. If you come and go, you don't have to pay taxes, and you don't have to lose a penny!"

"I said why so many people like to collect art..."

"There is also an art auction house in Yangzi..."

"He's just going to make a cut..."

Ma Jiahui didn't quite understand: "Isn't that star not making money?"

Lu Xiaoran smiled: "As long as a thing like a work of art is sold at a premium of several times, it is normal, they can take this thing worth tens of millions, find someone at random, go to the bank to pledge a loan, and then get back tens of millions! If this star doesn't repay the money, what should the bank do?

"It's... It's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years!"

“... You guys watch the broadcast, it's better not to spread this thing..."

"Why?"

"I'm scared too!"

Lao Lu still has to mix in the circle...

And the above has not yet made up its mind to rectify the entertainment industry - as soon as it is rectified, the thriving film industry will be ruined!

The conversation was almost over, Dou Wentao wanted to have something exciting and conclude: "They all said that there are a lot of unspoken rules in the circle, is it true?"

“... It's quite a lot, and I've encountered it too!"

"You... Someone else has unspoken rules for you?"

Lu Xiaoran nodded: "When I was a little famous, it should be "Rescue Mr. Wu" to run publicity, meet a few investors, get me drunk, and then stuff a half-fruited beauty... I didn't make a mistake!"

“... You're in your twenties and you didn't make a mistake?"

"This thing is a pit, there is a first time and a second time, if you get it, you can't wash it off, some people gladly accept it, some people half-push and half push, anyway, they think it's okay, you are a wrist, newcomers should stammer! I can't, I have a spiritual cleanliness!"

Dou Wentao was a little disappointed...

I thought you were going to drive, but you suddenly stopped!

Boring!

......

Participating in "Round Table Pie" is to explain to the outside world - don't step on what the new marketing accounts say!

By the way, two chapters of water...

By the way, on August 26th, "Heart Labyrinth" was released...

Qi Yukun was recruited by Orange, naturally it is impossible for all amateurs to star, Sun Honglei + Peng Yuchang + Li Xian, plus a few small flowers, Zhang Huiwen, Zhou Dongyu, Tan Zhuo...

"Heart Labyrinth" was originally called "Funeral Coffin"...

A typical suspense film, in terms of genre, is very similar to the Coen brothers' films, and the story is, in short, a farce caused by a charred corpse.

Li Xian made a cameo appearance and confiscated the money, and Zhou Dongyu also made a cameo and confiscated the money...

This drama cost a total of 28 million, and Sun Honglei only received a salary of 2 million...

He's got a taste for it!

In the past two years, the prosperity of the market has made many first-line actors catch the market full of money, there is no shortage of money at all, there are good scripts, and everyone is still willing to take the initiative to reduce their salaries...

After the theater opened... The box office of 58 million in the first weekend can be regarded as the completion of the set goal...

Then, on weekdays, he took 29 million, which was actually 8% higher than on Sunday...

Well, it's another high-quality movie that caused a box office inverse increase - Orange Ticketing gave a total box office forecast of 300 million...

Spectator... There is still a strong demand for good movies!

......

In the office, Zhong Lifang is pointing out the country:

"We're going to have to tilt the resources of online video!"

"This is the report at hand, in the United States, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Faebook is accelerating its entry into content streaming, and the old American cable TV market is also constantly being eaten up by streaming media such as Netflix. The revenue was 14.548 billion US dollars, of which the largest proportion was the online media business, including AB, Disney Channel and Freeform TV Network, Disney Digital Network, etc. You see, Disney, which has always been famous for its theme parks and animated films, has the largest source of revenue for online media. ”

"Although the North American market is different from us, it is still 20 years ahead of us!"

"I think... It's time for us to lay out the streaming!"

Lu Xiaoran paused for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Didn't we make a watermelon video?"

"I mean tilt resources to watermelon videos!"

“... The second largest shareholder of our company is Fuji Xun, and the third largest shareholder is Ali Venture Capital..."

Do you think Lu Xiaoran doesn't want to directly complete the watermelon video?

Yes, he can form the rights of the major shareholder and chairman, and as for those two goods, it is a big deal to kick them out of the board of directors!

However, the publicity logic of the film industry has been completely subverted with the penetration of the Internet.

In the past, the distribution team mainly selected materials for delivery, and the selection of schedules mainly relied on experience...

However, the emergence of Internet platforms has provided a data guarantee for distribution, for example, Internet platforms have a large amount of data, including scoring data, audience consumption behavior and consumption preference big data.

These can provide more data-based reference for the film and television entertainment industry.

The logic of the market has changed!

There is no problem with Orange making content now, but to engage in publicity, it really depends on the Fuji Xun system and the Ali system...

"What then?"

"Anyway, we make content, whoever offers a high price will give it to whom... Treat everyone equally!"

Zhang Jin suddenly spoke: "Boss, the issue of "Round Table Pie" you participated in came out..."

“... Any questions?"

"It's okay, except that the capital is far away from that section..."

"Didn't broadcast the big and small contracts?"

“... I let them cut it!"

"Then I see..."

Lu Xiaoran was a little disappointed...

You see, it was he who took the initiative to cut it off...

The human heart is so complicated!
