There is no doubt that what Liang Gang feared happened.

With more than 90 points of film screenwriters and more than 90 points of commercial film director ability, Cai Zilong's movies are naturally the top and most attractive commercial films. If you purely compete for strength, even if you win the box office championship of the year, the odds are also great.

But the box office of a movie does not only depend on quality.

There are many movies with word-of-mouth but no box office, and the real popular movies are all in the right place and with all the right people.

For a rookie director, if his first film wants to sell super high box office, unless he makes a god film, the possibility is very small.

Cai Zilong is confident that he will make the second movie into a god film, but the first 'Legendary School Graduate' is at most reluctant to squeeze into the ranks of classic comedies, and there is a certain gap from the god film.

Therefore, he will desperately promote and promote, and even do not hesitate to hype himself.

Even so, his expected box office is only about 2 billion.

There is no way, for the works of low-cost newcomer directors, the scheduling rate in the early stage is definitely not high. By the time word-of-mouth fermented, there were already many netizens who could find this movie on the Internet. Moreover, the longer the release time, the more moviegoing** will continue to decline.

can have a box office of 2 billion, which is already very rebellious. Thanks to the fact that there are more than a dozen international celebrities, supermodels and celebrities in cameo roles, the gimmick is even more powerful than those blockbusters. Otherwise, no matter how much he hypes it, more than one billion will reach the top.

As a result, the propaganda of 'Legendary School Graduates' actually inadvertently created a novel and popular program, which continued to dominate the screen.

This is undoubtedly a huge surprise for Cai Zilong.

Quality is the main body of a movie, and publicity is the geographical location of a movie.

It's not a tofu slag project, and the location is excellent, so it's hard to sell it if you don't want to.

What Cai Zilong didn't expect was that because of his long-term dominance of the screen, the 'Legendary School Graduate' was actually surrounded and suppressed by a large area.

In his opinion, this is equivalent to icing on the cake, the subway is being built near his own real estate and the school is being built, which will only make his movie more popular.

It's a pity that these blockbusters also use personal connections to get a film rate of 'Legendary School Graduates'.

The film scheduling rate is equivalent to the house type, decoration and environment of the real estate, which is also extremely critical.

The house type, decoration and environment of a real estate are not very good, even if the quality and location are excellent, there is a chance to sell big, but it is difficult to sell super well.

Therefore, Cai Zilong's expected box office is still only about 2 billion.

But on the last day, Liang Gang couldn't help but step on it again, allowing him to seize the opportunity.

With this counterattack, 'Graduates of Legendary School' not only became the most recognizable film again, but also received a lot of sympathy points.

It was already the best location and the best quality, but the government suddenly announced that it intends to focus on the development of this area, so that the lot has more potential for appreciation, and the results can be imagined.

In addition, it is in the New Year's stall, which means that the real estate is in the stage of overall house price increase. The total box office of 'Legendary School Graduates' is not difficult to run for three billion.

This is not enough.

waited until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the major theaters gave Cai Zilong another surprise.

Seeing that the quality of the three blockbusters can only be said to be average, the box office has declined seriously, and the schedule of 'Legendary School Graduates' has increased from 10% to 30%.

Even the shortcomings of the house type, decoration and environment have also jumped to the top.

In addition, there are no strong competitors, no less than the real estate that is not for sale nearby, the time and place are favorable, and it is really difficult to sell big.

Not to mention the box office of 3 billion or 5 billion, Cai Zilong dares to think about it.

'Legendary School Graduate' is not a god film, but with all kinds of favorable times and places, he is rushing for the effect of a god film.

300 million+, 400 million+, 300 million+, 200 million+......

The box office of 'Legendary School Graduates' is unstoppable.

By the Lantern Festival, the box office of 'Legendary School Graduates' began to decline, but the box office had exceeded 2 billion, far ahead of Liang Gang's 'Iron Mask Armor''s 1.35 billion.

On the Internet, there is a call for Liang Gang to fulfill his promise.

Liang Gang wanted to fulfill his promise like a man, but the problem was that he really couldn't do it.

quitting the entertainment industry, which is not within the scope of his plan at all.

At his current age, he can at least struggle in the entertainment industry for another twenty years.

Twenty years, how much benefit is this?

He worked hard for decades, starting as a small assistant, and finally climbed to today's position. Wealth, status, fame...... It's all in hand. For him to suddenly give up and stay away from the entertainment industry, it is as uncomfortable as asking for his life.

After struggling for several days, seeing that the remarks on the Internet not only did not subside, but there were signs of intensification, Liang Gang panicked.

He desperately spent money to buy the media, and desperately spent money to hire a water army to divert the attention of netizens to other news. It's useless, not only Cai Zilong is falling into the hole in turn, but those directors and stars who have a grudge against him are also using their connections to secretly add fuel to the fire, wanting to directly knock him into the abyss.

Finally, Liang Gang gritted his teeth and made a decision, he found Cai Zilong's mobile phone number through his relationship, and dialed a phone call.

"Hey, hello, I'm Cai Zilong. ”

Cai Zilong's voice soon sounded.

"Director Cai, hello, hello, I'm Liang Gang. Liang Gang hurriedly spoke.

"It turned out to be Liang Dao......"

Cai Zilong was writing a new film shooting plan in the room at this time, and he couldn't help but straighten up when he heard the words, and laughed twice.

"Director Cai, do you have time? I heard that you are in Cangnan City, I will go to you for a meal?" Liang Gang asked hopefully.

"Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately. Don't hide it from Director Liang, the script of my second movie has come out, but Director Liang also knows that the funds for my second movie have been donated. Although the box office of 'Graduates of Legend School' is good, it will take at least a few months for the box office share to arrive. I had no choice but to beg my grandfather and grandmother everywhere to pull funds. Cai Zilong said.

Liang Gang was suddenly a little embarrassed.

The 50 million, isn't it because he stepped on it too hard and forced Cai Zilong to smash it out to fight back.

However, if you want to say that Cai Zilong is pulling funds for the filming of the second movie everywhere, then I don't believe it.

For directors who have just debuted, what they lack most is shooting funds. If you want to make a successful movie, for the sake of money, you really have to beg your grandfather and grandmother everywhere. Many talented rookie directors are stuck on this and can't get ahead.

Cai Zilong also belongs to the ranks of rookie directors.

But he is not short of funds.

As far as he knows, the investor of 'Legendary School Graduates' is Cai Zilong's wholly-owned film company.

Although SITC Media Group participated in the cooperation of this movie, SITC Media Group, because of its lack of confidence at the beginning, purely to see Lin Siyun's face, and Cai Zilong's willingness to offer a high price of 20 million, agreed to cooperate.

According to the current trend of 'Legendary School Graduates', even if the final box office does not reach 5 billion, 4 billion is not a big problem.

This means that Cai Zilong's film company can at least get a box office share of more than 1.5 billion.

Perhaps, as Cai Zilong said, it will take several months for the box office share to arrive. But the huge income is there, even if you find a bank loan, you can easily borrow a billion 800 million.

In addition, Cai Zilong is really unwilling to take risks and find funds to cooperate. It is only necessary to release the news, and some local tyrants are willing to invest.

Not any director's first film can be supernatural.

Even if Cai Zilong's next movie is not so popular, just because of his current fame, the box office of more than one billion will definitely be no problem, and he can't lose anything.

If you shoot 'Legendary School Graduates 2', I'm afraid that before filming starts, there will be distributors willing to give a box office guarantee of 2 billion.

Asking grandpa to sue grandma for funds is a joke.

Of course, it was clear that Cai Zilong was complaining, and it was impossible for Liang Gang to debunk it, so he laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Just one meal, Director Cai will squeeze it." Moreover, since Director Cai is preparing for a new film, there should be a shortage of roles, right? First-line stars can't help it, in terms of second-tier actresses, Director Cai has eye-catching, so I'll just bring it over with me when the time comes. ”

This is very intriguing.

Cai Zilong understood, but he still shook his head very dryly: "I really don't have time, Director Liang forgive me." ”

Liang Gang's mood suddenly sank.

Cai Zilong, it is clear that he just doesn't want to help him.

"Director Cai......" Liang Gang hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't know when Director Cai will come to the capital, I know a few leaders here in radio and television and CCTV." The famous prince in the capital, I also know a lot. Let's not know each other, if Director Cai comes to the capital, they are all friends, let me introduce Director Cai to meet you?"

Cai Zilong smiled disdainfully: "Is Director Liang threatening me?"

"No, no, no. Liang Gang hurriedly denied that he did mean to threaten, but he couldn't admit it. Otherwise, there would be no room for manoeuvre, as long as Cai Zilong knew what he meant.

"It's good if you don't have it, Director Liang has friends with Director Liang, and I have my friends. I am poor and white, I have struggled in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I suddenly rose, but I didn't rely on suddenly picking up one or two hundred million funds. Cai Zilong said indifferently.

Liang Gang was silent.

Cai Zilong was undoubtedly warning him that he had his connections, and Cai Zilong also had it.

Although he didn't believe that Cai Zilong's connections could be stronger than him, that was before. Cai Zilong's new film is a big hit, and naturally there is no shortage of various connections to send to the door. And he, once he quits the entertainment industry, his friends still have a few who are willing to help him, I'm afraid he can count it out with his fingers.

Helpless, he had to say clearly: "Do me a favor, as long as Director Cai is willing to come forward to explain, just say that we don't know each other if we don't fight, and the next movie decided to ask me to be the assistant director, no matter what Director Cai asks, you can put it forward." ”

"I don't know what kind of conditions Director Liang can prescribe?" Cai Zilong said coldly.

Liang Gang's eyes widened.

In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a wave of ecstasy.

Cai Zilong asked, unless it was to play tricks on him, it meant that there was still the possibility of peace talks between the two sides.

Fifty percent of each of the two possibilities.

This is much better than Cai Zilong's constant refusal before, at least there is some hope now.

He took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Director Cai, do you think this will work, I have a villa in the capital, and the value should be about seventy or eighty million." Director Cai has a bright future in the future, and he has to go to the capital, and he can't do it without a foothold. This villa, I will arrange it in the next few days and transfer it to Director Cai's name? What does Director Cai think?"

"What does Director Liang think of this condition?" Cai Zilong asked rhetorically.

According to his heart, he will definitely press Liang Gang to the ground and beat him so that he will never turn over, and he will never have anything to do with the entertainment industry in this life. But after thinking about it carefully, before Liang Gang called, he had already decided to let Liang Gang go.

The reason is not that he is soft-hearted, nor is it that he is afraid that Liang Gang will use his network resources to retaliate. The real reason lies in the fact that he is a student of Mr. Li, and before the second part is released, he intends to use it to hype up the killer feature of the new film.

This matter, although Liang Gang was at fault first, he is now an honest man and a victim in the eyes of netizens, but the situation has reversed, if Liang Gang cries a few times and makes himself look down, it will inevitably make some netizens start to sympathize with Liang Gang and feel that he is not generous enough.

Liang Gang's die-hard fans are indispensable to constantly slander him on the Internet.

He didn't care about his reputation, and he wasn't afraid of having a reputation that fell into the ground, but he didn't want Li Feng's reputation to be affected to a certain extent.

If the two sides reconcile, they will naturally not have this trouble.

"This ......" Liang Gang didn't know what to say, standing in his own position, of course he felt that the conditions were already very good. Cai Zilong donated 50 million, and then recovered 70 or 80 million, which is equivalent to making a lot of money.

But if you stand in Cai Zilong's position, he was trampled on for more than two months, and he was so angry that he donated 50 million. finally succeeded in reversing, and the other party shook hands if he wanted to lose 70 million, and he didn't have to quit the entertainment industry again, and he would earn back the money in a year or two, which would be too cheap.

"I don't embarrass you, this villa is donated in my name. In addition, you are responsible for helping me find all the staff and special effects studios needed for my new film, and each of them must be the top in China. Again, I will post on Weibo to tell netizens that I didn't plan to let you go, but I remembered the teacher's teachings, so I decided to be generous and shake hands with you. You have to put on a show with me, and after talking to me, you ask me a lot of things about how to put on a show about my achievements in film, and so on. ”

Liang Gang said his conditions, he wanted that villa, but he couldn't ask for it. lest Liang Gang use this matter to fight back in the future, so he simply donated it. When the time comes, even if netizens know the truth, they won't say anything about him.

Relatively speaking, the latter two conditions are no less beneficial to him than the villa. But even if this secret is made public, it will not have much impact on him, let alone affect Li Feng's reputation.

"Yes, yes!"

Liang Gang was overjoyed, he thought that he would have to hemorrhage, but he doubled his psychological expectations, which was about 150 million.

Unexpectedly, Cai Zilong put forward other conditions.

Finding the top staff, special effects studios or something, although it is a little troublesome, but with his connections, it only takes a little energy, and it is not too difficult.

to praise Cai Zilong himself, which can have a great impact on his image and reputation. If there is an enemy who deliberately makes trouble on the Internet, he can even be saddled with the infamy of pretending to be a grandson to a rookie director in order to stay in the entertainment industry and make money.

can be scolded and scolded, and no one will keep holding on to it, and it will be forgotten for two or three years.

These two conditions are completely within the scope of his acceptance.

"That's it! Director Cai asked someone to design the relevant operation plan and then come to me, and the rest of the conditions, we will discuss the details at that time. Cai Zilong said.

"Okay, then I won't bother Director Cai. ”

Liang Gang breathed a sigh of relief, although he suffered heavy losses and was extremely distressed, he finally obtained Cai Zilong's understanding.

As long as you can stay in the entertainment industry, these losses can always be earned.
