Listening to Zhang Fan's words, Hu Shuo couldn't help laughing: "Director Zhang, what do you think is the most critical factor that determines the box office of a movie?"

"There are many factors that can affect the box office of a movie. Zhang Fan said.

"I'm asking the most critical, important one. Hu Shuo said.

"Of course, that's the story itself, and a good story is the foundation of a good movie. Zhang Fan pondered for a moment and replied.

In the current environment, there are many factors that affect the box office of a movie, such as the film's main creative lineup, publicity and distribution capabilities, film scheduling, and the strength of competing films in the same schedule......

Any link can have a great impact on the box office of the movie, but the most critical factor that determines the box office is the story itself.

On the contrary, if the story is exciting enough, even if it is weaker in other links, the film can finally rely on word-of-mouth to counterattack, in this era, the possibility of good films being buried has become lower and lower, and the audience's viewing has already returned to rationality.

"In that case, why does Director Zhang think that my assessment standard cannot be completed? Are you not confident in yourself, or are you not confident in the script?" Hu Shuo asked coldly.

"Of course I don't care about the script!!" Zhang Fan said in a deep voice: "If it is a very good script, of course there may be a counterattack at the box office, but I don't think this script is of that level!"

"Okay. ”

Hu Shuo nodded: "In that case, Director Zhang, please do it!"

A director doesn't even have the most basic script screening ability, and he still shoots a woolen scene, Hu Shuo finally understands why the box office of Wanli Pictures is not high, because, the director's level is limited, the film is the director's art in the final analysis, and the final form of a movie presented in front of the audience is the result of the director's attention to the details one by one, so under normal circumstances, the director must at least bear the responsibility of 6070 for the birth of a bad movie!

Therefore, when a director shirks the responsibility to other links for making a bad movie, it means that this is a director who has no responsibility, a director who pretends to be confused, what psychology do you shoot yourself?

Hu Shuo's attitude is obvious, Zhang Fan can't leave if he doesn't want to shoot!

As soon as he said this, everyone in the conference room was naturally shocked, Zhang Fan is one of the only two directors signed by Wanli Pictures, and he is still the relatively good one of the two directors, if he leaves Wanli Pictures, Li Yuqing will be left as a director.

You must know that the "first brother" of Wanli Pictures was opened by Hu Shuo for a while, could it be that the company's "first director" is also going to be opened? ?

Zhang Fan didn't expect Hu Shuo's attitude to be so tough, he was stunned at first, and then sneered: "Mr. Hu, you set such an impossible assessment standard just to force us to leave, no problem, I'll just go, where to eat and eat!"

"Xiao Li, let's go together!"

Zhang Fan looked at Li Yuqing again, wanting to pull the other party too, because, in his opinion, Li Yuqing's thoughts should be the same as his own, although his assessment standard is 600 million, but it is also an impossible task.

As soon as they heard Zhang Fan's words, everyone's eyes naturally fell on Li Yuqing, looking at his reaction, Wanli Pictures is just such a two signed directors, if they leave together, it will be lively.

"Brother Fan, I don't think it's impossible to complete this assessment standard. ”

Li Yuqing rubbed his fat face and replied.

"What?!"

"Do you think you can make a movie with a box office of more than 600 million??" Zhang Fan snorted with disdain.

Li Yuqing is a young director, so far there are only three plays directed by him, and the best box office drama is more than 300 million, so when he heard Li Yuqing's words at this time, Zhang Fan naturally disagreed.

"It's not that it will definitely be done, but I think this script is good, and the subject matter is quite down-to-earth, maybe it can have a good result!"

At the beginning, Li Yuqing also felt that the predecessor's strategy was a bad script, but unlike Zhang Fan, who didn't read the script carefully at all, in the two hours that Hu Shuo gave everyone, he read the script of the predecessor's strategy very seriously, and when he read the entire script, his evaluation of this script also changed dramatically.

As the synopsis says, this is indeed a script with a lot of laughs, and the plot in the second half is also touching and heart-wrenching.

In particular, Li Yuqing feels that this theme can resonate with more people, in real life, who doesn't have a few predecessors?

And the ex is the ex after all, and finally disappears into the other party's world, leaving a good or bad memory in each other's hearts.

In fact, when Li Yuqing read this script, he was deeply touched, thinking that he was not a fat man of more than 200 pounds, he also talked about a girlfriend, at that time Li Yuqing's career was just starting, ignoring the care for his girlfriend, and in the end, the other party became the wife of other men.

It was precisely because of that breakup that he overate for a while, and coupled with his own fat-prone physique, his weight was out of control.

Zhang Fan didn't expect Li Yuqing to think that he could complete Hu Shuo's harsh assessment standards, after listening to his response, he was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand with a sneer: "People, everyone has their own ambitions, I wish you success!"

As he spoke, Zhang Fan strode towards the door of the conference room, and when he opened the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Hu Shuo: "Mr. Hu, I'm still the same, if someone can really complete your assessment standards, I, Zhang Fan, would rather go and eat shi!"

"Director Zhang, don't say it so absolutely, you still have to leave some way out for yourself as a man. ”

Hu Shuo sighed and shook his head.

The assessment standard he set is actually not high at all, Xinhualu won a box office of 1.16 billion in another time and space, while the predecessor Raiders won a box office of nearly 2 billion.

The reason why Hu Shuo set a higher standard for Xinhualu is because Xinhualu is a film released in 2014, and the release time of the predecessor strategy is the last day of 17 years, and the release time of the two films is more than three years apart, but these three years are the three years of rapid development of the domestic film market.

In 14 years, Xinhua Lufang was the runner-up at the annual box office, only losing to the Hollywood blockbuster Transformers 4, and there were only three films with a domestic box office of more than 1 billion that year.

But by the time it was 17 years, there were already 16 films with a domestic box office of over 1 billion, and if it was released in 17 years, it would be certain that the box office would double, and it would be possible to have 3 billion! After all, the iron fist of shame this year had a box office of 2.2 billion.

And the heart flower road is far better than the iron fist of shame in terms of plot and laughter settings, as well as the lineup cast.

Therefore, when Hu Shuo formulated the assessment standards for the two films, Xinhualufang was 200 million higher than his predecessor's strategy.

But whether it is 800 million or 600 million, it cannot be compared with the results of the two films in another time and space, and the reason why Hu Shuo set such a low assessment standard is also to take into account the factors of the starring lineup, and if it is set too high, Hu Shuo is afraid of scaring everyone.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that even the box office of 800 million and 600 million had already scared everyone, and even, one of the only two directors of the company directly became a "deserter"!

"Mr. Hu, I'm not angry, nor am I making excuses for myself, in short, I'm looking forward to the box office results of Xinhualufang, no matter who directs it, as long as its box office exceeds 800 million, I will honor my words today, and when the time comes, I hope to get a public apology from Mr. Hu!"

When he said this, Zhang Fan's tone had calmed down a lot.

"No problem. ”

Hu Shuo nodded with a smile: "If other directors really can't complete my assessment standards, then there must be something wrong with this standard I set, and I forced out an excellent director in the company, I will take this responsibility and apologize for it." ”

"I hope Mr. Hu will do what he says!"

Zhang Fan lost the last sentence, and then slammed the door and left!

And Hu Shuo's first "meeting" to take over Wanli Pictures is over, but before that, everyone didn't expect that it would be so intense, everyone understood the reason why the new official took office with three fires, but Hu Shuo's three fires were too ruthless.

The company's "first brother" and "first guide" all left, in front of everyone, without the slightest mercy! At the same time, there were two almost incompleteable assessment standards!

Obviously, the new boss is going to rebuild and rectify the "artist department" of Wanli Pictures.

"Director Li, you can choose the other actors of the former raiders, I will give you a budget of 30 million for this film, if it is not enough, indicate the funding gap and purpose, apply to the company, as long as it is reasonable, I will fully support it!"

Hu Shuo said to Li Yuqing again.

"Okay, I'll try to make this film well. ”

Li Yuqing nodded solemnly, and then asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Hu, can I ask, who are the screenwriters of these two scripts?"

"Hu Zuozuo. ”

Hu Shuo directly reported his pen name.

"No wonder!"

"It turned out to be the regiment leader's script!"

"Hu Zuozuo, the screenwriter of Love Apartment!"

"No wonder the laughter is set up so well.,It turned out to be the book of the great god.。 ”

As soon as he heard the name "Hu Zuozuo", there was a commotion in the conference room.
