Chapter 497: Regret

Because Luo Kai wanted to pick up Niuniu, after the premiere of "Chasing the Murderer", she simply took Luo Kai's car home together, and pulled Mo Lan to sit in the back of Luo Kai's Mercedes Benz and chat.

Luo Kai drove by himself, and before starting, he handed the red envelope given to him by Zhang Zeyi to Mo Lan, and he took out the envelope when he took out his mobile phone just now.

Mo Lan took it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Luo Kai started the Mercedes-Benz and replied casually: "Brother Ze Yi gave it to me, saying that it was a congratulatory gift from a few of them." ”

"You friends are so funny..."

Li Mengru said with a smile: "I will also give a congratulatory gift when I attend the premiere." ”

Luo Kai smiled bitterly: "He insists on giving it, I can't push it hard, Mo Lan, look at what it is." ”

Li Mengru was also curious: "Open it and take a look." ”

So Mo Lan opened the envelope, took out a piece of printer paper from it, and immediately snorted softly.

Luo Kai sensitive: "What's wrong?"

Mo Lan smiled and said, "This congratulatory gift is really special..."

Mo Lan was selling Guanzi, and Li Mengru next to her was itching, so she leaned over to take a look: "What." ”

The next moment, Li Mengru also smiled: "It's very special." ”

Mo Lan simply gave her the printing paper, and then said to Luo Kai: "Brother Ze Yi, they bought 8,888 movie tickets for "Chasing the Murderer" on the day of the 1st. ”

It's really special!

Luo Kai couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect Zhang Zeyi and others to give him such a congratulatory gift.

Because it is not a commercial blockbuster or a 3D giant screen film, the ticket price of "Chasing the Murderer" is not high, with an average of about 20 yuan, and if the theater has a member discount, it can be bought for more than ten yuan.

At a ticket price of 20 yuan, the value of this congratulatory gift is more than 100,000 yuan, which is not too valuable for Zhang Zeyi and others, and the theater line has scored more than half of it.

But the courtesy is light and affectionate, their real purpose is to cheer for the first film starring Luo Kai and do their best.

Li Mengru smiled: "They are quite caring. ”

Mo Lan thought of a question: "Is this considered a ticket purchase?"

Li Mengru said: "What kind of ticket can this be considered, it's only a few hundred thousand, everyone buys it for hundreds of millions, and we belong to friends to support it, which is completely different." ”

The phenomenon of buying tickets is an unspoken rule in the film market, and many film companies often spend a lot of money to support their own films out of the need for marketing hype, and such a phenomenon exists in those high-investment commercial films.

In fact, this method first came from Hollywood, and was learned by domestic counterparts.

"It's normal to spend real money on tickets..."

Li Mengru continued: "In order to improve the scheduling rate of theaters, some people book a large number of tickets during the pre-sale, brush up on the pre-sale box office of 120 million, and then refund a large number of tickets, hehe. ”

She began to prepare to enter the film and television industry very early, and she has been in contact with insiders in all aspects, plus she has experience in managing a film production, so she is quite clear about many things in the circle.

Mo Lan was surprised: "Can you still play like this?"

She mainly developed in pop music, although she had made movies before, but she was a friendly cameo, not a real insider, and because of her personality, she didn't know much about these insiders.

"Not long ago, it was exposed that a..."

Li Mengru said: "But the backstage of the people is hard to suppress, in fact, who doesn't know." ”

Speaking of which, she sighed very much: "I also heard that "I Want to Love You Again" and "Extras" are both ready to buy the box office, and it is not clear how much they will buy. ”

The two movies that Li Mengru said are the competitors of "Chasing the Murderer" in the same period, and a youth film and a comedy, the genre has a greater advantage than "Chasing the Murderer", and if you want to use off-the-board tricks...

Mo Lan was a little worried: "Then we are under a lot of pressure." ”

"Someone else is someone else..."

Li Mengru said: "We are us, we don't buy the box office, and we don't have such a budget, anyway, as long as the first step is not to lose money." ”

She is still quite optimistic, with a pre-sale box office of 20 million, the probability of losing money is very low.

"Sister Mengru..."

Luo Kai, who was concentrating on driving, suddenly said: "We will make a commercial film next, a real commercial film, I will write the script, and the investment can be a little bigger." ”

"Really?"

Li Mengru's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help straightening her waist: "Don't fool me!"

She is very ambitious in her career, "Chasing the Murderer" is just a test of Dream Media's entry into the film and television industry, and it is a victory to earn back the cost, but it is impossible for the next movie to follow the model of "Chasing the Murderer".

What can really make money has to be a commercial blockbuster!

Luo Kai smiled and said: "For this movie, I can invest 50 million." ”

He said it lightly, but it startled Li Mengru, and even Mo Lan showed a look of surprise.

Whether it is Mo Lan or Li Mengru, they are not the kind of people with shallow eyelids, tens of millions is not a lot for them, but Luo Kai, who was still poor more than a year ago, said lightly that he would throw out 50 million to invest in new films, which brought them a lot of impact.

Li Mengru doubted: "Can you come up with so many funds?"

A company with assets of hundreds of millions, without taking out a loan, it is normal for the funds that can be withdrawn at a time to only a few million, Luo Kai has two studios and a company under his name, and all the registered capital adds up to only a few million.

Li Mengru's suspicions were not unreasonable, but she quickly reacted: "I know, it turns out that your animation company is so profitable, I should have joined a share if I knew it!"

Li Mengru can be said to be very familiar with Luo Kai, Triumph Studio is right under her nose, she knows very well how many catties and taels there are, the only thing that can't grasp the situation is early summer animation.

Strictly speaking, it should be early summer culture, because early summer culture holds the copyright of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", Li Mengru knew that the brand authorization of this series sold well, but he didn't expect Luo Kai to make so much money quietly.

How long has it been! She regretted it a little.

"Mo Lan..."

Li Mengru turned her head and said to Mo Lan very seriously: "You have to control him, a man will become bad when he is rich, and you have to firmly grasp the financial power in your hands." ”

Mo Lanjiao said angrily: "What, I'm too lazy to care about him." ”

Luo Kai smiled bitterly: "Sister Mengru, I have no enmity with you, do you?

"Yes!"

Li Mengru said without thinking: "If you invest 50 million, then I will also invest 50 million to make a real blockbuster!"

She has never been the kind of person who looks forward and hesitates, Luo Kai dares to spend so much money, then she dares to play with Luo Kai.

Of course, the premise is that "Chasing the Murderer" can't lose money, otherwise she won't be able to get out the money.

The first one is sent.
