Chapter Seventy-Nine: Developing
As the distributor, the released film was stolen at the box office, and Wang Boqing's brother Pictures has an unshirkable responsibility. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Wang Boqing's heart was indescribably annoyed.
Through the company's secret channels and his personal relationship, Wang Boqing got a bill, theaters across the country, large and small, together, "Mom Loves Me Again" was stolen in the past ten days, and the box office was about 10 million.
More than 10 million, an unimaginable number, an earth-shattering number!
After learning this number, Wang Boqing personally scolded the director of the company's distribution department, that is, his younger brother Wang Bernard, and then fired the three direct persons in charge in front of everyone.
It is not only the indignation at the audacity of Wanchang and other theaters, but also the dissatisfaction with the slackness of the company's internal personnel.
The persimmon picks and pinches softly, and Lu Yan's "Mom Loves Me Again" is a big and fat soft persimmon in the eyes of the theater party.
Among them, the slackness of some people within Brother Pictures is also an important factor, otherwise those theaters would not have formed a "big case" so boldly.
With the recent changes in events, "Mom Loves Me Again" has received strong attention from industry insiders, and the matter about "Mom Loves Me Again" being stolen from the box office can't be hidden.
What's more, in this circle, there are all people who are well-made, and they all have clairvoyance and ears, unless they don't want to check, as long as they show clues, they will soon be found out.
If "Mom Loves Me Again" is snubbed by industry insiders and ignored, it will be good that the box office stealing will pass unconsciously, even if someone talks about it in the future, it will have no effectiveness and attention. But now "Mom Loves Me Again" breaks through common sense and has become a movie destined to be high-profile, so that no one can think of covering the lid.
It's like five years ago there was a movie about the legend of kung fu master Ye Wenai, and after the movie was released, the film did not do well.
However, greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the distributor and producer use some small tricks when the film achieves good results.
They don't know if they think everyone is blind or if they think they are so good that others can't see it. These two companies teamed up to pay for fakes, spent a lot of money to produce "Ghost Field", and joined forces with some theaters to take the initiative to reduce the share of this film, turning the box office of other movies in the same period into their own.
As a result, the box office performance of "The Grandmaster Ye Wenai" is extremely eye-catching, and their company shares have risen sharply.
But because it went too far, maybe it was too hated, "A Generation of Grandmaster Ye Wenai" was reported by insiders. The film was eventually found out by the cultural department and heavily fined.
No, according to Wang Boqing's estimate, three days at the latest, and as soon as tomorrow this lid will not be able to be covered, and it may burst out at any time. Although the theater side and the stolen box office "My Beautiful Mother" will be punished at that time, but if such a thing happens, where will he put Wang Boqing's face?
"Look, this is a movie released by Brother Pictures?"
"Brother Pictures can't do it? Is it a self-theft? "When someone has this kind of thought, how will his brother pictures deal with themselves?
At that time, the impression of Brother Pictures' incompetence in distribution will arise, and the results of his hard work will have a collapse effect, and what many people don't know is that Wang Boqing has been preparing for the listing of the film company.
He has two dreams in his life, one is to make a great movie that satisfies himself, the audience, and his peers.
Another dream is to make Brother Pictures the fifth largest company alongside the four major film and television companies in his lifetime.
The listing of the film company is the most powerful step forward in this dream.
Today's film industry has long since changed its taste, and the power of capital has changed the original pure or original film rules.
Movies are evolving, the market is changing, and the rules of the game are changing.
In today's film industry, there is no money to make good movies, and if the company wants to develop, it is impossible to break through in a highly competitive environment.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that there are famous and well-known film companies in the circle, which one does not have strong capital to support it.
The first level of the Daming film industry, the four major companies, either have the support of a consortium or a giant company behind them, or they seized the development opportunity to be the first to go public, and obtained a lot of cash in the financial market to let go of their hands and feet, and make movies that others dare not and are not capable of making. So as to take the lead step by step, and lay a strong strength.
The companies in the second stage, such as Lianhua, Yiyuan, and his brother Pictures, although they are not small in the circle, there is only one number difference between the first level and the second level, but compared with the previous four, it is not enough to see at all.
The difference between the first and second levels is not something that can be calculated using addition and subtraction.
In the final analysis, it is a question of more money and less money.
Wang Boqing: Their company may have made nine out of ten films in a year, losing only one. However, this movie alone will make him breathless for three months.
But the big four companies will make ten movies and lose eight of them, but it doesn't matter, they don't care, they have a big business, let it lose as much as it can.
What's more, how could Wang Boqing's company have such a high production rate, although they are professional, they are not gods. The film production departments of the big four companies won't be so bad, stupid as if they have no brains.
The four major companies, these film giants, have a special review mechanism after years of internal development.
Depending on the money and resources it invests, a film will face different levels of censorship.
The ability of these professionals should not be underestimated, and their working methods, although cumbersome and dull, can ensure that the films they produce do not lose money to the greatest extent.
If you don't lose money, you have the ability.
After all, the Big Four are not in vain.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Boqing will want to break his head and squeeze Brother Pictures into the ranks of the Big Four. This will be what he is fighting for.
No matter how incredible this goal may seem.
Now there was a crisis in the course of his struggle, and it was okay for him not to strangle those who had made mistakes.
Remedial measures are carried out little by little.
Wang Boqing is racing against time. He needed to make as many cuts as he could before the barrel exploded, and he had several layers of hazmat suits on his body.
After talking to Lu Yan, Wang Boqing picked up the phone again and contacted one person after another.
"Hehe......" Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Yan sneered.
After the release of "Mom Loves Me Again", Lu Yan just let it go after a simple promotion in several first-tier cities in Daming.
Lu Yan, who was at home, was accompanying his family and preparing at the same time.
Practicing songs, raising his voice and practicing musical instruments has not stopped, and he has not forgotten the "dead stumbling plan" he personally formulated.
Lu Yan has always understood that at this stage, music is the main business, and movies are just playing tickets.
Of course, not being attentive to publicity doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to the situation related to "Mom Loves Me Again".
When it achieved a super high single-hall box office on the first day of release, he understood that "Mom Loves Me Again" was a success.
A classic is always a classic.
Places have changed, times have changed, but there are things between people that never change.
For example, family affection, love......
At the first screening of the movie, when Lu Yan heard the five-minute crying scene in the theater after the screening, he knew that the family affection of "Mom Loves Me Again" could also move the world.
However, the truth is a bit unexpected.
Sometimes, reality is more bizarre than novels and movies.
