Chapter 937: Discipline

"Guo Ye, since this is your final work, you have to come up with a little more exciting work, and now the most popular genre in the market and the largest audience is the theme of love and science fiction blockbusters, but these themes have a shortcoming, that is, they lack practical significance, just pure commercial films, no matter how good they are, it is difficult to reach a depth. ”

heard that Guo Dalu was about to end after filming the tenth small-budget movie, and the happiest thing was to do it.

In the past two years, Guo Dalu has become addicted to making small-budget movies, although the films shot in the name of the director of Beicheng have also made a lot of money, and the box office is also one of the best in China, but compared with the appeal of Guo Dalu himself, it is still a lot worse.

Ma Cheng, as the general manager of Tianxi Film and Television, has no interest in the sense of mission of any bullshit filmmaker and the pursuit of literature and art, as a qualified manager of a business group, he has only one concern, that is, how to make profits quickly and how to make more money!

In the entire Tianxi Film and Television Group, there is only one person who can really create a box office miracle and really remain invincible, and that is Guo Dalu, Guo Dalu alone creates more profits for the film and television company every year than the rest of the staff combined.

Therefore, watching Guo Dalu go to make some small-budget movies with great interest, but he was indifferent to the big cake in the film market, Ma Cheng's heart is dripping blood every day, it's all money!

In his heart, as long as Guo Dalu continues to make big movies, there will be at least tens of billions of box office revenue that year, and it will also make Tianxi Film and Television Group gain a very high status in the international film and television circle, and its influence will naturally increase.

In the international film and television market, everything else is virtual, only the box office is real, you have a box office, you have status, and although the small-budget movies shot by Guo Dalu also have a box office, they are basically limited to the domestic market, and the international reflection is mediocre, only "Chainsaw" has achieved a good reputation abroad, and it is limited to this, and the rest of the movies are released abroad, and there are few viewers.

As the manager of the company, Ma Cheng is anxious in his eyes, this guy's eyes have long been on the international market, although he still attaches great importance to the domestic market, but for him, creating an international film market, making money from foreigners, and exporting Chinese culture is called pursuit.

When Ma Cheng was ordered to take over Tianxi Film and Television in danger, he didn't dare to think about other thoughts, and he knew that he must serve Guo Dalu, the great god, once he provoked Guo Dalu's anger, it was estimated that he would inevitably end up with a cover.

At that time, he didn't think about how much money the film and television company could make, what development concepts and development plans the company could have, and he was thinking about stabilizing Guo Dalu.

It wasn't until the film and television company was driven by Guo Dalu that the income was rising, and Ma Cheng returned to the mentality of a manager, in recent years, he has tapped a lot of powerful figures in the film and television industry, and opened up a lot of markets for the company.

But all this is based on Guo Dalu's willingness to cooperate, if there is no Guo Dalu such a Dinghai Shen Needle, Ma Cheng will feel very unreliable in his heart, but also because Guo Dalu is too capable, the whole company's dependence on Guo Dalu is also quite high, and the expectations for Guo Dalu are also very large.

Therefore, Guo Dalu has been engaged in low-cost works in the past two years, which makes Ma Cheng feel like he has been cut every day, but he doesn't dare to oppose Guo Dalu's decision, let alone him, even his boss is respectful in the face of Guo Dalu.

Now when Guo Dalu said that he was going to shoot the last movie, Ma Cheng was more excited than anyone else: "Guo Ye, otherwise, look, anyway, it's the finale of your trumpet, let's just make a big production! You have to let the big guy see, the director of Beicheng will not only make small-budget movies, but actually play a big production, which is also very powerful!"

He smiled and said: "I make the decision, no matter what blockbuster you shoot, our company will invest, if the budget is not enough, you can add it at any time, as long as it does not exceed 500 million, you can open your mouth at any time!"

This is at the celebration party of the movie, Ma Cheng said this, the company personnel next to him were in an uproar, several of Guo Dalu's junior brothers and sisters were beside him, Pang Bao looked envious, jealous and hateful: "Mr. Ma, the difference in our treatment is too big, right? We shoot a film, which is higher than 50 million, and we have to go through several times of review and review, why is it a green light when we get to the senior brother? You are obviously discriminating against status!"

Ma Cheng smiled: "If you reach the level of your senior brother, I will also give you the green light." ”

Pang Bao: "You're unreasonable, my senior brother is naturally amazing, how can we compare?"

Guo Dalu glared and said, "You know I'm amazing, don't beep if you know!" If I am treated the same as you, then it is unreasonable!"

Pang Bao shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

In fact, everyone knows Guo Dalu's current status, and the company's tilt of resources towards him is a matter of course, and everyone has long been used to it.

It's just that because of Guo Dalu's status, others don't even dare to joke.

Pang Bao They are Guo Dalu's junior disciples, naturally there are no taboos, and they can say anything.

But it's just a joke, even Pang Bao himself knows that Guo Dalu should have this kind of treatment, because Guo Dalu has this strength.

In the entire film and television industry, only Guo Dalu's film and television works can guarantee a long-term success at the box office, other directors and other actors, and their released movies are all losing money and making money, but Guo Dalu's movies have never lost money.

It's terrifying.

In recent years, because of Guo Dalu, the box office of Chinese movies has become popular year after year, and the box office of many movies has exceeded 500 million, and some have a good quality reputation, and it is not very unusual to break through 1 billion, after all, Guo Dalu's movies have broken 10 billion in a row.

The media also does not stop promoting the prosperity of the Chinese film and television industry, giving people the illusion that any movie can make money.

But in essence, there are thousands of movies in the country a year, and there are very few that can really make money, and what everyone sees in their eyes is always the ones that make money, and as for the works that lose money, everyone pays little attention.

But not paying attention doesn't mean that there isn't, it's good to have two or three out of a thousand movies to make money, and the rest are blood losses.

There are countless rich people who have lost money because of investing in making movies, and there are many guys who are panicked with a lot of money, in order to make their mistresses popular and Xiaomi or goddaughters, they do not hesitate to invest huge sums of money in the shooting of film and television works, as long as the director agrees to let their women be the protagonists, money is not a problem.

Directors like this kind of big dog the most, what they earn is the money of this kind of people, these people are blood laymen, the easiest to fool, and they can get tens of millions of hands and feet at will.

As for the quality of the film itself?

Who cares?

The investor's money alone is enough for the crew to eat fat, and at this time, no one cares much about the box office, only the investor is still full of expectations.

Then these investors will know why others say that the film and television industry is black!

I invested tens of millions of dollars, but I didn't even hear a sound, and you can't say anything wrong.

I know that there is a cat in it, but because of the layman, I can only suffer a dumb loss.

Some movies may show a small face in the theater, but that's it, most of them don't have the opportunity to show their faces.

In this case, people who want to invest in movies can only look for directors or actors with box office guarantees, which is why Xiao Xianrou is so sought after.

But now that Guo Dalu has been hit continuously, the small fresh meat market has also begun to shrink, making fewer and fewer film and television projects suitable for investors to invest in.

Especially an international director like Guo Dalu, who has repeatedly exploded at the box office, has long become the object of desperate competition among investors.

Not to mention in Tianxi Film and Television, even other investors, they will also treat Guo Dalu as an ancestor.

After all, in today's film and television industry, there are not many directors as powerful and disciplined as Guo Dalu.
