Chapter 736: Disturbing Dreams
Just after 9 o'clock the next morning, Li Mo was woken up by a phone ringing.
With difficulty, he pulled his arm out from under Fat Di's body, and Li Mo picked up the phone.
Is it a little surprising, it was actually Wang Changtian calling.
Anyway, a few days ago, he just signed the joint distribution agreement led by Molong Media and participated by Wanda and Penguin on behalf of Guanglu Media.
With doubts, Li Mo answered the phone.
"Mr. Wang, this early in the morning, why are you in such a hurry?!"
After talking for a long time, Wang Changcai cut to the point.
"Li Mo, tell me the truth, how optimistic are you Molong about the movie "Mermaid", and can its box office potential really be as much as 1.8 billion?"
As expected, it was really to talk about the guaranteed release of "Mermaid".
It is not easy to say that Wang Changtian is not easy enough.
The four companies jointly guaranteed to issue, Wanda, and Penguin have a lot of money, and more than 100 million funds have been smashed out without even blinking their eyes;
On the side of Molong Media, Li Mo's shares account for the absolute majority, and the company has not yet been listed, so there will be no resistance to what he wants to decide;
Only Guanglu Media, although Wang Changtian has a lot of shares in his hands, he does not have an absolute majority in the board of directors, and it is bound to give an explanation to the board of directors when he uses such a large amount of money.
In case of this wave of losses, it will definitely be the 'incriminating evidence' used by the enemies within the company to attack him......
It seems that after such calculations, Li Mo seems to be able to understand Wang Changtian's mentality of suffering from gains and losses.
As a partner, Li Mo has no intention of pit him at least for now.
Anyway, it's nothing more than a couple of reassuring words, and it's not difficult.
Pulling up the quilt to cover Fat Di's round and smooth shoulders, Li Mo changed his posture with the phone slightly, and continued to speak: "I definitely can't give you any exact numbers now, but in my estimation, if everything is normal, it should be no problem to exceed the existing box office champion record by two or three hundred million." ”
"Now the record of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is more than 1.7 billion, and if it exceeds 2 or 300 million, it is more than 2 billion......
Hearing this, Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.
The figure reported by Li Mo is actually not much different from the internal prediction of Guanglu Media.
If it reaches the threshold of 2 billion, the other three except Molong will at least look a lot better in terms of company performance.
For these listed companies, the quality of the company's performance is far more important than the income in the production and distribution process of a film.
If the box office of "The Mermaid" can really break the threshold of 2 billion, it is conceivable that the stock prices of several listed companies participating in the issuance, such as Guanglu Media, are bound to usher in a wave of rise.
Compared to the gains from the rise in stocks, the box office share?
It's drizzling!
"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, let's make an appointment to have a meal together when I'm free, hang up." ”
Damn, you're relieved, what do you mean when I'm woken up by you?
I knew that saying these two sentences would put you at ease, so I might as well send a message......
…………
In all fairness, the quality of the movie "Mermaid" is still good.
But what is said here is good, there is still a premise.
It's a matter of who you compare yourself to.
If you use the perspective of complete passers-by and pure evaluation, the film quality of "Mermaid" should not be as good as "Kung Fu" or "Shaolin Football", compared with "Yangtze River No. 7", it is estimated that it can be a draw.
But during the Spring Festival in 2016, "Mermaid" still exploded.
The reasons are manifold.
The first is that the opponent in the same schedule is too weak.
In the Spring Festival of 2016, the Spring Festival stalls at this time have not yet formed the atmosphere of 'thousands of troops celebrating the Spring Festival' in the original time and space.
In 2016, those who can participate in the Spring Festival file war are either too high in the production cost of the film, and it is very likely that the cost will not be recovered in other time periods, or the film itself has the blessing of big names, and the producer is not worried that the film will not sell at the box office......
And in the Spring Festival file in 2016, who is the opponent of "Mermaid"?
"Macau Fengyun 3" and "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" ......
"Macau Vices 3" goes without saying.
Wang Jing, a film businessman, knew what he was doing from the beginning.
"Macau Fengyun 3", which gathers big names, not only does the average age of the actors close to 50 years old, but also plays stalks from the 90s of the last century......
People are old, it's not a problem!
"Wushuang" has proven that as long as you make a movie with your heart, the audience can still see it.
But the terrier is old, this is really no medicine.
Obviously, in the Xiangjiang movie decades ago, it has used rotten bridges, change a few people, add some special effects, and mix a few popular Internet jokes today, this is a new movie?
Please, it's not so good to fool the audience, is it?!
In addition, the first two parts of the "Macau Vice" series have a bad reputation......
There is no suspense, from the first day of the release of "Macau Fengyun 3", the audience's reputation has fallen directly to the bottom.
And "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits"?
To be honest, as a Chinese New Year movie focusing on action and fantasy scenes, "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" has actually completed its own task, and its poor reputation is largely influenced by the previous work "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven".
But then again, the director of the previous work "Havoc in Heaven" is also Zheng Baorui.
It doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing to dig the hole by yourself for two years, and you will be responsible for filling it up after two years......
In addition, in terms of the choice of actors, Zhou Xinchi can indeed be called discerning.
Judging from the past, although the star girls selected by Zhou Xinchi every time eventually parted ways with him almost without exception, it is undeniable that these people have been popular for at least a while......
ZHANG Baizhi, HUANG Shengyi, ZHANG Yuqi......
At least it proves that Zhou Xinchi's vision of selecting newcomers and bringing them into the industry is still very reliable.
Of course, every time someone becomes popular, it is followed by the termination of the contract and various negative lawsuits, which is the result of Zhou Xinchi's own personality and many other reasons......
No nonsense here.
Back to the casting of "The Mermaid".
After "The Breakup Master" and "Let's Run", the performance of a movie and a variety show, Deng Chao has buried the impression of 'Deng's comedy' in the minds of some audiences, although this impression is a bit erratic, but when combined with the box office appeal accumulated by Deng Chao himself for many years, most of the audience who enter the movie is at least not in harmony......
Of course, if the role of Deng Chao in "The Mermaid" is replaced by Liu Dehua or Wang Xiaoming......
Then Li Mo is definitely how far he runs!
At last...... Naturally, it is the marketing strategy of 'we owe Zhou Xinchi a movie ticket'.
As the publisher, it was originally a group of people who had no topic and had to create a topic, but now that Li Mo has built the framework for them, if these people can't learn to climb up the ladder, then they are really alive to dogs at such an old age......
