Chapter 104 Business Adjustment (1st Update)
Shanghai, Minghui Company.
Dante is looking at the report.
This year has been a bit rushed.
For Minghui, this year's performance is similar to that of previous years;
At the beginning of the year, "Traffic Earth" blessed by Shen Ming became a hit of the year;
In April, a "Five Boys Splashing in the Water", when no one was optimistic, won 1.3 billion box office;
The summer file, "Sherlock on the Plains", once again shocked the industry...
As for "Nezha", the movie was personally invested by Shen Ming, not included in Minghui's statement;
In September, "Flag Protection" set a record for the highest return on investment in the Mainland...
It's coming to an end, and the finale "The Great Escape" is online!
Can't go wrong!
"The Great Escape", of course, is Minghui's main control investment, Fuji Xun, Bona, and Guangxian participate in the investment, as for Qiancheng...
How to say it, the old man Zhang Jiazhen seems to have no idea - five consecutive movies have lost money, the old man is very disappointed in the current market, and is ready to join hands with Wu Baige again to create the North American version of "Bloody Heroes"...
It's really hard to understand that generation of filmmakers, how can they think that Lao Wu can still be recognized by the market?
"Taiping Wheel" and "Pursuit", each of them loses money...
And Dante, including several high-level executives of the company, doesn't want to be named Qiancheng anymore...
The company has almost nothing to do with Qiancheng anymore.
Yang Xin is basically staying in Minghui Company now, and rarely returns to Qiancheng, and the next step should be to withdraw his shares...
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
Dante didn't raise his head, and then his voice came: "Look at the financial report again?"
ββ¦ Sister Xin?"
Yang Xin chuckled: "Do you feel happy just by looking at the data?"
ββ¦ No, I'm used to it!"
Although this is a bit pretending, there is nothing wrong with it, Minghui Company is recognized as an explosive model manufacturing machine in the circle...
"How's the publicity for The Great Escape?"
ββ¦ It's okay, there are no commercial films in this schedule, "Lanxin Theater" and "The Party at the Southern Station" are all literary and artistic types, and the theater chain is willing to give us more films!"
"Don't underestimate it, the test screenings of these two movies have a good reputation!"
ββ¦ I know, so I arranged for Cheng Xiao and Zhao Jinmai to run a roadshow to publicize!"
"What about Shen Ming?"
Dante thought for a moment: "He... He's supposed to be filming, right? You don't know?"
"What is he doing now, do you want to discuss it with me?"
"You're his agent!"
"Come on, it's the same with me or not, I still care about the wheat!"
ββ¦ By the way, Sister Xin, will "The Eleventh Round" also be released in December?"
Yang Xin took out his mobile phone and looked at the itinerary: "Yes, they are scheduled for December 31." β
"The Eleventh Round" is the play directed by Chen Jianbing, starring Brother Xun, and Zhao Jinmai as the second female lead.
ββ¦ Will that collide with The Great Escape?"
"No, it's been almost twenty days..."
Yang Xin thought for a while and asked, "What is your box office expectation for "The Great Escape"?"
"A billion... Originally, it was set at 500 million, but the theater chain was too supportive, so we will promote it according to the volume of one billion!"
"Okay, I'll go back and get ready. β
After chatting a few words, Yang Xin left, Dante stared at her back and thought for several minutes, and then dialed Chen Xu's phone...
β¦β¦
In fact, Minghui is now expanding rapidly!
The newcomers they launched have also been recognized by the market.
Zhao Jinmai, Guo Junchen...
These two are the biggest highlights of this year's Chinese film and television industry!
Compare Xitian Film and Television, push Song Yuer, push for three years, except for giving people a noisy feeling, there are no bright spots.
Therefore, the work is the foundation of the artist's life!
Dante is ready to separate the brokerage department, that is, to set up a separate company, which is a cooperative relationship with Minghui.
Minghui Company, at first, was just Shen Ming's personal studio, and later did not participate in a series of movies, but slowly controlled the distribution and production, and became famous in the circle.
Later, a few people signed ...
In fact, Shen Ming has never cared much about Minghui's brokerage business, up and down, basically Minghui's senior executives don't care much about the artist's affairs...
Let's put it this way, Minghui is different from ordinary companies, there is no need for its artists to accompany the wine or anything, basically every time a movie is produced, there will be theaters that take the initiative to join and jointly distribute it.
Most of the resources of its artists are pulled by Yang Xin...
Yang Xin is impeccable in handling contacts, but her control of the content of her works is still a little poor...
At the beginning, Brother Ming was able to become a first-line because of "Night Stalker", and this script was not provided by Yang Xin, she provided "The Legend of Wukong".
It's normal, big IP, good director, good cast, and then the movie didn't explode...
No one expected that "Wolf Warrior 2" would take off later!
Not only Shen Ming, but the scenes she helped Cheng Xiao and Peng Peng take are also very mediocre - "Langya List 2", "Flash Girl", "Amateur Agent", "Go Back to the Past and Hug You", etc., either have a reputation and no results, or lose both word of mouth and results!
This also shows that Yang Xin is indeed not suitable for participating in content production...
Then just separate the brokerage department!
Shen Ming has no opinion...
By the way, he is the majority shareholder and chairman of the company, Dante is the head of the film and television department, and Chen Xu is the propaganda department...
That night, the statement was issued:
For a long time, it can be summed up in one sentence: cancel the artist agency to focus on content creation!
But Shen Ming's agent is still Yang Xin, and Yang Xin is still a shareholder of Minghui Company...
β¦β¦
On the set of "Love", the camera focused on a very simple room, and Shen Ming appeared in the lens...
He sat on the sofa, holding the orange cat in his hand, watching TV - "The Best of Us", while watching, and communicating with the cat in his arms:
"Snorr, do you like Yu Huai or Lu Xinghe?"
"Forget it, you must like Lu Xinghe, drag and drop cool characters to attract fans..."
"No, you definitely like Geng Geng, you're a man..."
Speaking of this, Shen Ming suddenly gritted his teeth, trembling all over, as if he was enduring pain, the orange cat in his arms seemed to feel it, and quickly jumped out of his arms, staring at him with concern...
Shen Ming's performance continuedβhe had called the Rehabilitation Center before to ask what it was like to have an addiction episode.
The other party said, 'Pain, pain, from the top of the head to the toes, I feel that there are insects crawling in the skin all over my body, and then I slowly feel them start to burrow into the flesh and bones, and every cell hurts, and the pain is so painful that people can't think about things at all, so they want to take a bite..."
'Specific manifestations: tearing, runny nose, sweating, dilated pupils, increased blood pressure...'
Of course, Shen Ming is a very responsible actor, so he really acted it, and he cursed uncomfortably...
"Click!"
ββ¦ What's wrong?"
Shen Ming immediately returned to normal...
Director Yangzi: "Brother Ming, let's just mean it, you are too real like this, I'm worried..."
ββ¦ You can just beep off my curses later..."
"No, our movie is still very warm, you are terrible!"
ββ¦ Okay, okay, I'll keep it!"
How many of the days are not terrible?
"Gonzo, do it again!"
Shen Ming stroked the orange cat and did it all over again...
In this shooting, he was not as realistic and exaggerated as before, he just gritted his teeth, convulsed in pain for a while, and then looked at the orange cat's eyes, sorry: "I scared you? I did something wrong before, and this is all punishment for me..."
Holding the cat in his arms again, he put his whole head on its belly, and said to himself, "I'm going to be fine, for sure!"
