Chapter 538: Successful People
"It's really strange, it's also a complete end of word-of-mouth, Deng Chao's kid's "Breakup Master" not only allowed the producer to recover all the investment, but also had such a high profit, why didn't our company's movies have such good luck?"
Sitting on the sofa in the chairman's office, looking at his brother who has been busy working since just now, Wang Zhonglei said with jealousy: "Why can't our "Loyal Yang Family General" even break 100 million after suffering bad reviews, and Deng Chao's kid can still get 200 million in the first weekend if he is scolded as a dog, really Tama can't figure it out." ”
"What's wrong with this," Wang Zhongjun seemed to have finished his work, he stood up and walked two steps, and said slowly: "People don't rely on luck at all, but real strength." ”
This weekend, not only Wang Zhonglei is studying "The Breakup Master", Wang Zhongjun himself is also paying attention to this movie.
At the beginning, his thoughts were actually similar to Wang Zhonglei's, and he also felt that this matter was completely incomprehensible.
In the past, there were movies produced by Molong Media that were not favored by critics like "Happy Death Day", but at least in the minds of the audience, "Happy Death Day" can be regarded as a fusion of science fiction, thriller, campus comedy and inspirational content, etc., and many people also like it.
But this time, "The Breakup Master" is the majority of people who say it's not good.
However, from the perspective of the CEO of a film and television media company, Wang Zhongjun has to admit that "Breakup Master" is a success.
Bad word-of-mouth!
Good at the box office!
These two almost incompatible phenomena appeared in a movie at the same time, and Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but be interested.
Wang Zhongjun suddenly sighed and said, "The climate of Molong Media has been established. ”
is also in the film and television media industry, listening to his brother praising a company that has been established for less than three years in front of him, Wang Zhonglei instinctively felt uncomfortable, and he said unconvinced: "I admit that the movie "Breakup Master" does have a certain value, and the future income can be expected to be considerable, but that is Deng Chao's efforts to play ugly, hack himself to the end, and take advantage of the audience's curiosity ......"
Speaking of which, Wang Zhonglei's words took a turn, "All these things can be said to have been brought by Deng Chao, what does it have to do with Molong Media?"
In all fairness, there is some truth in Wang Zhonglei's words.
Unlike Hollywood on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there are few examples of producers coming up with creative ideas in the films of the Celestial Empire, most of the time they are initiated by the director, leading and finally shooting the whole movie......
Wang Zhonglei's objection is also based on this reason.
Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Zhongjun said lightly: "According to what you say, any company with money in hand can invest in Deng Chao's script and reap today's results?"
"That's right," Wang Zhonglei nodded without hesitation, "If our Wang Group had that opportunity, I would definitely ......"
"What will happen to you?" Glancing at Wang Zhonglei, who was stammering, Wang Zhongjun shook his head, returned to his back chair and sat down, and said slowly: "Understood, right? To make this decision is not as simple as you think." ”
"I heard that in Molong Media, when it comes to foreign investment in the field of film and television, Li Mo personally makes the decision, which is enough to prove Li Mo's excellence. ”
Wang Zhonglei scratched his head, a little bit unsure of what his brother meant.
"Why don't you understand," Wang Zhongjun pointed out in hatred: "Every decision made by a company, especially a company in the rising stage, will directly affect the company's future." ”
Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei understood a little, "Brother, do you mean that Li Mo can make the most correct decision for the company every time?"
After a slight pause, Wang Zhonglei continued to speak in a skeptical tone: "How is this possible?"
"To be honest, I don't know how he did it," Wang Zhongjun let out a long sigh, "But from the current point of view, every step Li Mo has taken has stepped on the most correct position and obtained the expected benefits......
In the end, he is a person who has been in the industry for many years, and Wang Zhongjun can naturally see how terrifying Molong Media's performance is.
"Normally, no one in the world can determine whether the movie will be a success before it is released," Wang Zhongjun has begun to hand over the most important production department in the Wang Group to Wang Zhonglei in recent years, and at this time it can be regarded as passing on his experience in disguise, "If you have to say, as a director, you actually have more advantages than the administrative staff of film and television media companies." ”
"Is it because they at least know the general framework of the future of their work, and already have a vague outline in their minds?"
Wang Zhonglei no longer had the resentment just now, and honestly began to discuss this issue.
"Yes," Wang Zhongjun nodded, "We all know that investing in a movie is first seen by the director's ability and experience, followed by the appeal of the actors, the degree of integration of the crew, and the ability of editing...... All in all, there's so much to control......"
According to what Wang Zhongjun just said, Wang Zhonglei began to substitute himself as an investor, trying to rationally analyze "Breakup Master".
""The Breakup Master" is Deng Chao's first film, he has a woolen directing ability, let alone experience;"
"Yang Mi has made some achievements in the field of TV dramas in recent years, but no one can say whether this kind of achievement can be translated into the box office of movies;"
"Deng Chao's previous commercial film results were average, and "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" and "The Four Famous Catches" cannot be regarded as evidence that he carried the box office alone;
"There are a lot of stars in the cameo lineup, but I have never heard that the audience will buy tickets to the cinema in order to go to see a star who makes a cameo appearance;"
…………
After analyzing it, although Wang Zhonglei did not speak, his expression had already told Wang Zhongjun what kind of decision he would make if the script of "Breakup Master" came to him......
"Understood, right?" Wang Zhongjun shook his head with a wry smile, "The two of us have been in this circle for more than twenty years combined, and when it comes to predicting ability, it is not as good as a hairy boy who has not yet reached the age of twenty-five this year......
In the huge chairman's office, the Wang brothers were silent for a while.
Since the opening of private capital into the film and television media industry in the mainland, for so many years, no company has ever been able to develop so rapidly as Molong Media, and there is no one who can be as successful as Li Mo.
The son of Wanda Group may have more capital in his hands, but he relies on his father's shadow, and he doesn't know how many times better than a person like Li Mo who climbed from penniless to the current position.
Even the Wang brothers, although they can be regarded as self-made, have not received much help from the imperial capital circle, but Li Mo has only one sect marshal by his side......
Although Wang Zhonglei still feels unhappy with Li Mo, he now has to admit that Li Mo can come to this day, and his outstanding features are absolutely impossible to ignore.
