As the general manager of Lay's Pictures, Zhang Zhao has not had a good time in the past six months.

Cause...... Quite a lot.

But the main problem is still at the headquarters of Lay's.

As time goes by, Jia's concept of ecological closed-loop is becoming more and more different from what it looked like when it was first advertised.

In the words of an investor, you told me that if you planted a watermelon in this place, it would eventually produce a watermelon, so I decided to give you the money and let you buy watermelon seeds......

Now you're telling me that because the weather conditions are a little different from what you predicted, the crops are not growing well, and you may not be able to grow watermelons.

Actually, I can accept this.

After all, there are unforeseen circumstances, and you can't blame you for such a bad year.

But the problem now is that I gave you the money to plant a watermelon field, even if you lose a little now, you have to pay me back a pumpkin......

However, what Jia told the investor was: I'm sorry, don't say it's a pumpkin, I can't even give you sesame seeds now, because I don't plan to grow watermelons, and go to study how to build an airplane......

To be honest, this kind of thing is estimated to happen in the Internet era where you can play with a concept.

If it were placed in ancient times, it is estimated that the grave grass of the person who spoke like this had grown to two or three feet high.

But Jia really did it.

His capital means, closed-loop ecological gods, to be honest, Zhang Zhao can't understand it, and he doesn't want to understand it!

For Zhang Zhao, his ambitions have always been kept within a small range.

When he first joined Guanglu Media, he wanted to become a manager of a film and television media company;

After he sat in the position of general manager of Guanglu Media, his goal became to become the helm of a company;

And when he became the founder and manager of Lay's Pictures, his goal also increased, and he became to make his company bigger and stronger, and control more voice in the industry......

And now, Zhang Zhao's goal has become a lot simpler.

cut off Jia to the greatest extent, and did everything possible to let Lay's Pictures sever all relations with Lay's Group.

Even if some impact is inevitable, try not to affect the survival of Lay's Pictures in the entire circle.

In order to achieve this goal, the recent ...... It can even be said that since the failure of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" last year, Zhang Zhao has been trying to enrich the power in his hands.

On the one hand, he relented in front of Wang Changtian, took the initiative to take out the copyright, gave up the majority of the benefits of cooperation, and pulled Guanglu Media and Molong Media on the boat, on the other hand, he also began to seize the time to improve the quality of the films he invested in as much as possible.

At a minimum, it must be able to pay for itself.

So, Zhang Zhao invested in the filming of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" according to his past project operation experience.

A big IP with the same name as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!

In terms of actors, he found the dual male lead configuration of Jing Boran and Lu Han.

One is in charge of acting and action, and the other is in charge of popularity!

The action direction is Xiangjiang's!

In terms of supporting roles, Zhang Zhao personally invited Wang Jingchun and Ma Sicun.

Both of them are recognized acting schools in their respective age groups.

As for the director, Zhang Zhao made the decision to set Li Rengang, who is better at controlling big themes and big scenes among the directors of Xiangjiang.

That's right, it's the director who has a soft spot for UFO hats no matter what era of movies he makes.

Some people may find it strange when they see this.

Looking at Li Rengang's past achievements over the years, he is not the kind of director with a very high investment and output ratio, why can a person of his level still work with big-name actors again and again, and there are still so many good opportunities to fall on him?

On the one hand, this is naturally due to the fact that after the development of Xiangjiang filmmakers in the north, they habitually hold together, and any resources will be exchanged, and another important reason is naturally because among mainland directors, there are really not many people who can control such a purely commercial film.

Ning Hao?

Xu Zheng?

Zhang Zhao is not familiar with them at all.

…… And he doesn't believe that those two who play comedy can control this kind of magical work.

Li Mo's work plan has been filmed for a year, and he will definitely not be able to count on it.

Lu Chuan's guy is doing everything possible to transform into a commercial film, but the two films "The King's Feast" and "Nine-Story Demon Tower" are both getting higher and higher investment, and the box office and audience reputation are getting lower and lower, where does Zhang Zhao dare to hand over his company's big production to this kind of person?

Speaking of which, Wu Ershan is very suitable for this kind of commercial film in the fantasy genre, "Painted Skin 2" and "Looking for the Dragon" have not only been successful in word-of-mouth but also at the box office, which is a good candidate......

It's a pity that after Wu Ershan finished directing "Looking for the Dragon", he has made it clear that he is not willing to take over the similar type of "Tomb Robbery Notes", but has made a big plan, planning to spend ten years filming the "Romance of the Gods" trilogy and create a "Lord of the Rings" series that belongs to the Celestial Empire......

Yes, you are a real artist, an idealist who fights for your own ideals, we are laymen, and we really can't wait that long.

So, after turning over the directors in the mainland, Zhang Zhao finally handed over "Notes on Tomb Robbery" to Li Rengang.

Of course, Zhang Zhao in this time and space did not give Li Rengang too much power, and he basically didn't let go of the script, actors, and editing that should be grasped in his hands.

…… Li Rengang is not so much the director of the movie, but more like a filmmaker who works according to the script.

Even so, Zhang Zhao was still not very relieved.

So he chose a possible outbreak schedule for "Tomb Robbery Notes".

August 5th!

It happened to be a week after the release of "Legend of the Gods".

Zhang Zhao originally thought very simply.

In case "Legend of the Gods" explodes, "Tomb Robbery Notes", which is also a visual effects blockbuster, can also gain a wave of popularity by the way.

If "Legend of the Gods" is planted, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" will immediately follow to meet the audience's viewing needs.

No matter how you look at it, it's a sure thing.

Until Molong Media's "Book of Swords and Enmity" was airborne on July 29.

Then Zhang Zhao was entangled.

Li Mo's ability Zhang Zhao naturally knows that although "Dragon Soars a Thousand Miles" is a martial arts film, it is also very likely to succeed in Li Mo's hands......

In case "Tomb Robbery Notes" is impacted......

But at this time, if the reshuffle is announced again, it will definitely be said that Lay's Pictures is too cowardly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Zhao finally decided that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" would be launched on the original schedule.

That's how he comforted himself.

"No matter how unbearable "Legend of the Gods" is, there are so many celebrities blessings, and there are three points of nails for breaking the ship, let the two of them fight first, and we will follow behind to drink soup......"

The result?

"Legend of the Gods" sank directly to the bottom without even making a splash.

"A Thousand Miles of Dragon" watched the box office break the billion mark directly in a week......

Damn, isn't this a play? ?
