"Super Girl" brought the first cultural product output of Aurora Culture, not only reaping book profits, but also gaining a lot of praise and popularity in the entertainment industry and the mainland.

Now in addition to bringing "Infernal Affairs" into North America to harvest dollars, Aurora Culture has even begun to export variety shows to make money.

This is simply a beautiful counterattack for the mainland people on this matter.

With the box office of "Hero", the Aurora culture that invested in "Hero" has gained new glory.

"The global box office of "Hero" is more than 200 million US dollars, and Aurora Media has a share of more than 30 million US dollars, "At the end of the year, when "Hero" was released at home and abroad, it achieved a box office that was more powerful than Liu Ruoyi's memory of the previous life.

The reason is very simple, the theme song sung by Liu Ruoyi quickly rushed to the top ten of the Billboard chart after the movie was released, and this result, coupled with Liu Ruoyi's popularity and appeal in the North American market, added more watchable elements to the movie.

Liu Ruoyi sang the theme song and entered the Billboard charts, which made the North American market, which was originally a little weak for the movie, have a new wave of improvement, and many of Liu Ruoyi's new fans learned about the movie through the theme song.

Of course, the guarantee of "Hero" in this life in terms of film quality is still very sufficient. Zhang Laomou spent a huge amount of money to deal with the visual effects of "Hero" to an extreme through unique special effects processing, and this kind of special effects that transcend time and space even people who complain about the unreasonable plot have to admit that it is very exciting.

On the other hand, thanks to Aurora Media's effective anti-piracy measures, the appearance of piracy in this life of "Hero" has also been greatly delayed, attracting a group of people who were originally going to watch piracy and can't wait to enter the cinema.

In addition, Aurora Media's reputation at this time has also become a hot spot for movie hype, and the shrewd Zhang Laomou team completely gave up face and made Aurora Media's production very significant in publicity, so it was almost an independent production!

The result of this operation is that the domestic box office is nearly 30 million more than the original time and space, and the rest of Asia is similar to the historical one, but relying on the increase in the mainland box office and the North American box office, the global box office revenue is more than 30 million US dollars higher than the historical box office.

This makes Aurora Media's dividends more generous, and Liu Ruoyi's investment is an incredible miracle in the eyes of the entertainment industry.

The success of "Hero" has increased Aurora Media's gross revenue by more than 200 million yuan, thus making the revenue exceed 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, and the profit has reached a new high of 800 million Hong Kong dollars, making Aurora Media receive a beautiful leopard tail.

According to this revenue and profit, there is no problem at all for Aurora Media's valuation to double again, with the annual growth rate of Aurora Media of more than 100%, and the price-earnings ratio valuation of 40 times, there will be people rushing to ask for it in the capital market.

However, Liu Ruoyi was not in a hurry to promote the second financing, in her opinion, the time had not yet come, and she personally lobbied Zhang Laomou to make persistent efforts to shoot the sequel to "Hero".

Serializing a film that has already started is the basic operation of Hollywood, but Liu Ruoyi's wishful thinking. After encountering Zhang Laomou, he couldn't open it soon.

A guild hall in Beijing. Liu Ruoyi saw Zhang Laomou, who had just finished his work.

"I'm not going to make a sequel, I'm never going to do this kind of fried cold rice. ”

After Zhang Laomou heard Liu Ruoyi's intention, he refused.

"Director Zhang, in business, "Hero" has such a big impact now, and the filming of the two three sequels has a good box office, why can't it be operated like Hollywood in accordance with commercial rules?"

Liu Ruoyi didn't know much about this great director known as a national teacher in his previous life, although he had seen many good and bad movies produced by him.

Zhang Laomou's attitude made Liu Ruoyi very incomprehensible.

"I've never made movies just for business. For this newly rising legendary girl, Zhang Laomou is not as blunt as before, if it is a different person, he is too lazy to say a word, no no, no way.

"If a film loses the artistry I pursue, I'd rather not make it, I'm first and foremost a director, a filmmaker with artistic pursuits. ”

Liu Ruoyi was a little dazed, she had not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, most of the time she was in contact with filmmakers from the Xiangjiang side, and she was completely running around the market, after the success of "Infernal Affairs", "Infernal Affairs II" and "Infernal Affairs III" began to be conceived by the screenwriter and director team.

Now the second part of "Infernal Affairs" is successful, the third part will be established immediately, and the fourth part has begun to write a new script.

This is the correct routine for commercial films, why did it become the opposition between business and art when it came to Zhang Laomou?

Liu Ruoyi really couldn't understand the thoughts of the middle-aged man in front of her.

If Liu Ruoyi carefully studied Zhang Laomou's life in later generations, she would not have done useless work now, this person with the title of "National Teacher" would indeed not fry his own cold rice, he would rather direct operas, play the opening ceremony of a large-scale sports meeting, and other things that seem to have nothing to do with film directors.

The concept of making money is that for Zhang Laomou, there are more channels, and he will not overdraft his own brand to make sequels to make money in the sacred industry of movies, which is impossible for a lifetime.

"Okay, Director Zhang, does the next film still need external investment? We at Aurora Media can continue to cooperate with you. Liu Ruoyi retreated and asked for the next way.

"I don't think I'll need it for the time being. Zhang Laomou responded. The success of "Hero" made Aurora Media take a big piece of the cake, and made Zhang Laomou's team complain.

Now that they have money in their hands, they can completely cover the investment in the next movie, and they don't want to let others hitchhike anymore.

Hearing the more perfunctory tone here, Liu Ruoyi knew that her fate with this master was over.

But it doesn't matter, inheriting the success of "Hero", Zhang Laomou's next film Liu Ruoyi vaguely remembers that it can't be lost, but it won't make as much money as "Hero" anymore.

Now that fate is over, let's get together and disperse. Anyway, in Liu Ruoyi's planning, the biggest hope was not in these master directors.

In fact, even if Liu Ruoyi asked Aurora Media to frantically tap talents in the mainland, Liu Ruoyi did not approve of contacting top directors like Zhang Laomou and Chen Gaohang.

Of course, these people, Aurora Media has no development opportunities, they may not be able to come, it just so happens that both sides have their own place.

Anyway, the original team of the crazy series, and half of the original team of the embarrassing series are now under the umbrella of Aurora Pictures, and the collection of related scripts is also in full swing.

If it can't be collected, Liu Ruoyi will inevitably go into battle by herself, compile the synopsis and let the screenwriter polish and expand it.

ran to the capital, and Liu Ruoyi was not idle.

went directly to Sister Ying.

After the two found a new place to eat and play, Liu Ruoyi began to explain her intentions.

"Sister Ying, the judges of "Super Girl" in 2003, you have to find time to do me a favor, these finals in 02 can suffocate me, I write songs and sing okay, but the comments are really not good, the audience didn't scold me for hacking me, that gave me a big face. ”

Liu Ruoyi really feels that she is not the judge's material, you must know that the judges of this show are not only professional, but more importantly, they must have a degree of topicality, although Sister Ying has recruited a lot of black on the judges' bench in Liu Ruoyi's previous life, but it is undeniable that its topic has greatly enriched the show itself.

It basically became an integral part of those talent shows.

"Annie, I think you're doing a good job, it's fair to be decent. Sister Ying didn't agree immediately, although for her, the popularity of this show is completely worth showing her face, but she has never played this kind of thing, she has to learn about the inside story here with Liu Ruoyi first.

"Well, it's hard for me to sit on it every time, and frankly I can't stand to knock out a good player. Liu Ruoyi said with a wry smile.

"Every time I have to eliminate a player in a PK match, I am very entangled in my heart, and I will definitely not be able to do this for long anyway. ”

"So that's the case," Sister Ying thought thoughtfully, this is also reasonable, Liu Ruoyi looks like a young girl, and it is normal to be emotionally unbearable in the face of this sensational link.

But for Sister Ying, who has been through ups and downs for a long time, this matter is not a big deal. For her, there are not as many side jobs as Liu Ruoyi, and being an artist is her most important career.

Having such a high level of exposure continues to help maintain her fame.

"Cheng, then I will follow this judge's work, anyway, now that the film appointments are placed in the company, it is convenient to coordinate. Sister Ying agreed.

"We will change some of the rules of the competition this year, and the judges of the finals will be scattered and become the main judges of each competition area, and the workload will increase a lot. Seeing Sister Ying agree, Liu Ruoyi smiled a little proudly.

"I'll go, Annie, you're yin," Sister Ying pretended to be angry.

But looking at her face, she doesn't care about this matter, the popularity of "Super Girl", and even a second-tier singer Haring has become popular again, which is enough to make every famous singer in the mainland music scene yearn for a kick.

Except for Brother Huan, a big man at the Taishan Beidou level, other singers are either openly or secretly exploring the opportunities of the judges.

However, in addition to Liu Ruoyi's own selection, the other judges do not want to change for the time being, Zhang Tianwang and Zhou Tianwang are famous enough, have accurate vision, and have no problems in professionalism, and the two of them are also happy.

Harlem gags, many times to make up for the absence of the host on the field, is an indispensable condiment for the program, of course Liu Ruoyi will not be replaced.

Only in terms of female judges, Liu Ruoyi didn't want to go on, so she chose Sister Ying, who had done a good job in this area in her previous life.

Although Liu Ruoyi knows that this big sister in the mainland music scene will definitely attract a lot of black in the future, with her big mouth that doesn't keep the door, many times she will say what she thinks without thinking, and it is inevitable to offend people or present her prejudices in front of the audience.

But it doesn't matter, a popular show has never been hacked, and that's only because it's not popular enough.

The lack of such a personality person on the music talent show is the lack of this type of program, everyone does things steadily, what is the difference between it and the Youth Song Competition!

The show "Super Girl", if the rhythm is well controlled, there is no problem at all for three or five years, and when everyone's taste is in a few years, maybe you can get on the voice.

Anyway, Liu Ruoyi still has a lot of models in his mind for music variety shows, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to lead his opponents in this field.

After taking care of the judges of "Super Girl", Liu Ruoyi came to the capital, and the cutting-edge director support fund naturally wanted to go and see it. After all, this is her main tool for gathering directing talent.

Professor Liu was very pleased with Liu Ruoyi's visit.

"Annie, 6 of our 10 supported films have been completed,... although he did not say that the Foundation's affairs should be reported to Liu Ruoyi, Professor Liu immediately gave a brief introduction to the work carried out in 2002 as soon as he saw Liu Ruoyi.

Liu Ruoyi listened carefully to Professor Liu's introduction, most of them did not exist in her impression at all, and "Crazy Stone" was also included in Aurora Pictures, so Liu Ruoyi didn't care about those cutting-edge directors like Passerby A.

After listening to the introduction, Liu Ruoyi thanked Professor Liu for his work, "Mr. Liu, we are now going to further develop the North American film market, in this regard, can Mr. Liu organize a small delegation to investigate and study Hollywood film production, the cost will be borne by Aurora Pictures, I hope to provide advice for us Aurora Pictures to open up the North American market through the investigation." ”

Professor Liu has been busy for more than half a year, and if he gives money as a bonus, it will seem a bit cheesy, but if he doesn't say anything, Liu Ruoyi feels that he can't go.

After thinking about it, Liu Ruoyi came up with the idea of going abroad for "investigation", so he should give Professor Liu a benefit.

Professor Liu obviously didn't expect such a good thing, but he was a person who did things, and he reacted after making a mistake.

"Annie, you can see so far, no wonder Aurora Media can develop so well, we are doing things while we have to look at the right way. When I come to Zhang Luo on this matter, I will definitely investigate and study the recent development ideas of Hollywood films, and strive to sum up some guiding opinions for the domestic film industry. ”

Seeing that Professor Liu took this "welfare" as a serious matter, Liu Ruoyi did not dampen Professor Liu's enthusiasm.

"By the way, Mr. Liu, this inspection is carried out in the name of Aurora Pictures, considering Mr. Liu's contribution to Aurora Pictures, we solemnly invite Mr. and Mrs. to visit North America to accompany and inspect the music market in North America. ”

Liu Ruoyi went on to say that Professor Liu's lover is from the Conservatory of Music, and since he wants to pay benefits, Liu Ruoyi naturally thinks about the position.

Professor Liu paused again, even if he was sluggish, he reacted that there was something wrong with adding a music investigation to the film expedition, but Liu Ruoyi was invited under the name of Aurora Pictures, and others really couldn't say anything.

If it is placed under the name of the New Directors Support Foundation, then Professor Liu will be under great pressure, and he will basically not go.
