Chapter 333: The two brothers of the Wang family
Song Zheng was busy filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Hengdian, "Life and Death" has also been broadcast on CCTV for a week, and the plot has also entered the climax part of the story. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
19.8%
Obviously there is a little bit of difference from the 20% mark, but it is a little bit, but it has never been able to break through, the ratings seem to have been immobilized, Wang Zhongjun even came up with the method of prize guessing, and every issue of the newspaper has a mentally handicapped problem, so that the audience can win the award in vain, but the ratings just can't break through 20%.
To say that Song Zheng, a rookie director, with a group of little-known actors, filmed such a drama, can have the current ratings, even if it is not enough to celebrate the crown, he should be content.
But when will people's hearts be satisfied, it is normal to have to look at two, and the distance from 20% is a little bit short, who can still have a little thought in their hearts.
"If you continue to increase publicity, I still don't believe it, it's just 0.2% short, and I can't get over it. ”
Wang Zhongjun put down the phone fiercely, these days, he is like a loyal viewer, staying in front of the TV every day, making a trivial contribution to the ratings, calling Yu Shengli every day, waiting for a leap in the ratings, but after waiting for so many days, the ratings are still like that, crawling forward like a turtle, making him so anxious that he will be so anxious, if he doesn't know that the ratings are good, looking at his appearance, everyone will think that this TV series will be smashed.
Bang!
"Mr. Wang!"
When Wang Zhongjun heard the voice, he hurriedly sat down and said, "Come in!"
The female secretary pushed the door and walked in, holding a stack of newspapers in her hand, placing them on Wang Zhongjun's desk, and said, "Mr. Wang! This is all the newspapers that have reports on the "Line of Life and Death" on them today!"
Wang Zhongjun responded, waved his hand, and motioned for the female secretary to go out, and when the door closed, Wang Zhongjun immediately picked up a newspaper and flipped to the entertainment edition, which occupied the largest space was "Life and Death Line", which also had Song Zheng's first officer stills, with short hair, a dark complexion, and two box guns in his hands.
"It's really not worth holding this grandson!"
Wang Zhongjun muttered, and after reading the report at a glance and ten lines, it was all about touting this TV series, and he felt a little embarrassed when he watched it.
Then I looked through a few newspapers, and the reports on them were all the same, if you want to say that the propaganda is doing this, it should be enough, but why can't the ratings go up.
Wang Zhongjun wandered around the office for a long time, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and CCTV was replaying the two episodes that were broadcast last night.
What is happening is that Sidaofeng found that Sha Guanzhi sold Ouyang Shanchuan and others for the 200 guns promised by the devil, and he was furious and went crazy and chased the devil soldiers in Shamen.
Even if Wang Zhongjun has a big opinion about Song Zheng, he has to admit that Song Zheng played very beautifully, especially in the end, when he got out of the flower window on the sand gate wall, he had to applaud after seeing it.
I had heard that Song Zheng knew kung fu before, and he beat Ma Jingtao violently in the crew of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", but he didn't expect Song Zheng's skills to be so good.
can write, direct, act, write, sing, and play, if such a person is not popular, it is really unreasonable.
The more Wang Zhongjun thought about it, the more he regretted it in his heart, he knew that this kid was so capable, he should have been well enveloped at the beginning, but now that he looks back and thinks about it, he doesn't understand what happened to him at the beginning, he has to hold back and compete with Song Zheng as a child.
Wang Zhongjun doesn't know when he started, so intolerant, if he first partnered with Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang's temper was not much better than Song Zheng's, and it was also hateful to make people itch at all, but at that time, he was very generous, so with the help of Feng Xiaogang's successive blockbuster movies, Huayi Brothers gained a firm foothold in the mainland entertainment industry.
But this time he treated Song Zheng, Wang Zhongjun looked back and thought about it, what he did was indeed a bit excessive, the clay figure still has three points of fire, not to mention that it is a big living person, and he is still a stunned young man.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, after all, there is no fate!
Otherwise, Huayi Brothers has Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, and Song Zheng at the same time, and who can compete with him Wang Zhongjun in the mainland entertainment industry in the future.
Just thinking about it, the door was pushed open again, Wang Zhongjun didn't have to look up, he knew who came in, in Huayi, except for his younger brother Wang Zhonglei, who dared to enter his office without knocking.
"Xiao Lei!
Wang Zhonglei is ten years younger than Wang Zhongjun, in terms of appearance, he is not as serious as Wang Zhongjun, and he is much more handsome than Wang Zhongjun, and he also made a cameo in Feng Xiaogang's New Year movie "Endless".
In Huayi Brothers, if Wang Jinghua is a cadre under Wang Zhongjun, then Wang Zhonglei is his arm, fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, although Wang Zhonglei is sometimes a little out of tune, but he still has the ability to do things.
"Brother, I'm still worried about the ratings of "Life and Death"!" Wang Zhonglei said, sat opposite Wang Zhongjun, picked up a newspaper casually, and happened to see Song Zheng's stills, "This kid is capable!"
Wang Zhongjun took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said: "Don't underestimate him, although this kid is muddy, he doesn't do things with his brains, but he doesn't know how to get it, he can do anything, if you want to say it's luck, it's not very similar, I can't see through him!"
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he said with a smile: "Thinking about what to do so much, as long as this kid can make money for the company, it's fine!"
In terms of attitude towards Song Zheng, Wang Zhonglei is very consistent with Wang Jinghua, and they both strongly persuade Wang Zhongjun to give Song Zheng freedom and let him go out and toss around, in the final analysis, as long as he can make money for the company.
Wang Zhongjun smiled and said: "That kid may not be more aggrieved now, although it is not on the contract, but the company has a gentleman's agreement with him, and he has to earn at least 30 million yuan for the company every year, do you think that stubborn donkey can be happy!"
Wang Zhonglei also smiled and said: "No matter how much, it's still the same sentence, just make money! That's right! Brother! The second round of "Life and Death" has been sold out, and the later bulk sales are almost discussed. ”
This result was expected by Wang Zhongjun, the second round of broadcast rights of "Life and Death" had long been ready to be sold, but halfway through the talk, he asked him to stop, he was waiting, waiting for CCTV to broadcast, and after having good results, he could sell at a high price, and it turned out that he did it right.
Feng Xiaogang's "Big Shot" has been painted, with a box office of 43 million in the mainland and 37 million at the overseas box office.
The production cost of the entire film exceeded 50 million, and the return on the mainland box office was not enough, and as for the overseas box office revenue, even the big hole dug by the publicity fee could not be filled.
Especially when "Big Names" was released in the United States, this time Huayi Brothers cooperated with Columbia, which made a little money, but it all went into other people's pockets, and Huayi didn't see it.
In the end, the actual benefit brought by this movie to Huayi Brothers is minus 5 million, that is to say, a popular and popular movie finally made Huayi Brothers lose 5 million.
The positive evaluation said that Feng Xiaogang grasped some laws of humor, and he realized that real life is full of absurd plots and people, so he used the way of filming a drama to make a satirical comedy, making the comedy more colatable and the satire more sharp.
But it is not without negative evaluations, some people say that "Big Names" does not have too many breakthroughs except for large investment and big scenes, and the gags fall into the routine of "kitsch" and "education", and the film "loses artistic taste", showing the creative mentality of Chinese films that are eager for quick success and quick profit.
Typical involvement is unpleasant.
You must know that the reason why Wang Zhongjun deducted the follow-up investment of "Life and Death" at the beginning was that in addition to Song Zheng's disobedience and he wanted to teach a lesson, another reason was the successive additional investments in "Big Names".
Now that I think about it, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Big Names", which had high hopes, finally left Huayi with nothing but hope of continuing to cooperate with Hollywood, and put five million on it.
On the contrary, "Life and Death", which is not taken seriously, has brought tangible benefits to Huayi, and the money that Huayi threw in "Life and Death" was almost recovered before the end of the TV series filming, that is to say, everything that is in his hands now is earned.
Even if it is given to Song Zheng in half, Huayi Brothers' profit will exceed 25 million, which is 25 million, not 2,500 yuan.
It seems that it is time to take a look, even if Huayi can't be brought back, at least the relationship should be eased, otherwise, when the three-year contract period arrives, Huayi will not even have the opportunity to cooperate with Song Zheng.
"Xiao Lei, you go to the magic capital and bring 25 million to Lin Xinru!"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned, he knew that there was Song Zheng and Lin Xinru in the play "Life and Death", but why did they go to the magic capital!?
"Brother, why don't you just give it to Song Zheng!? Otherwise, wouldn't it be okay to call their studio and settle the account, and let me go all the way!"
Wang Zhongjun said with a smile: "You don't understand this, how to give money to people, it's bigger than how to find someone to borrow money, the money is beaten, people can't see it, even if it's beautiful in the heart, how happy can you be, and also, this money to Song Zheng's daughter-in-law is much more effective than to Song Zheng!"
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he pondered it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother!
