Chapter 831: It's too much fun to jump!
"What about poor reputation, "Running Man" is proud of the New Year!"
"With an investment of less than 20 million and a box office of more than 200 million, a movie reflects the rise of cute film and television. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
""Twilight" grossed over 100 million yesterday, another high-grossing and low-reputation movie, and another cute one."
"The overall situation of the overseas export of "Running Man" has been decided, and Hualong Pictures, the producer of "Twilight", is fully responsible for overseas distribution."
……
During the winter vacation of 2009, cute people led the way.
The big movie "Running Man" stared at countless harsh criticisms, bringing happiness to countless audiences, and at the same time, it also created one miracle after another, proud of the Chinese New Year file in the domestic film industry. Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time were also pressed under him, so that some experts and scholars commented that the domestic audience was too superficial and too low-level.
"Twilight", which is suitable for the occasion, with the help of 2.14 Valentine's Day, has also attracted countless fans in China. The Chinese version of the "Twilight" novel soared in domestic sales, while at the North American box office, "Twilight Zeng" overwhelmed the famous "007".
However, the situation of this movie in the United States is similar to that of "Running Man" in China.
The same low reputation, the same high box office.
Counterparts in China and the United States have also commented on these two films more negatively than positively. But if they could turn back the clock and the opportunity to invest in two films was in front of them, would they let it go?
In China, there are voices in public opinion that question cute people.
"What's wrong with Moe?"
"As a film company, you can't just have money in your eyes!"
"In the past, cute movies still focused on word-of-mouth, but now they only look at money, which is too disappointing."
"The entertainment industry is full of copper odor, I thought that Meng Ren was an alternative and would not be polluted by copper odor, but I didn't expect me to be wrong. Feelings, where are the feelings! ”
……
"A bunch of idiots!"
Ning Shirong put down the newspaper in his hand and sneered lightly.
The voices of those who question the cute people in public opinion seem ridiculous to him. And those media are similar to clowns jumping off beams in his eyes.
Public praise?
Feelings?
Well said!
As the future heir of the DynaSky Group, he is an entrepreneur and a businessman.
Box office and word of mouth, for him, or for all the film and television companies that can survive at home and abroad, the box office is much higher than word of mouth, and it can even be said that the box office is supreme!
For movies that are not well received, the production company is happy, the director has a high status, the actors are paid high, and some are sought after by funds; On the contrary, movies that are not popular are not popular...... Such an actor is called "box office poison", and that kind of director is worried about the funds for the next play, and the production company loses money!
In business, which film company can tolerate the false name of word-of-mouth and replace the box office that sustains the company's survival?
This is true at home, but also abroad.
Only real filmmakers will pursue the so-called word-of-mouth and feelings, because the movie loses, and it is not them who lose.
As for the audience, hehe, it is purely standing and talking without backache.
In the golden age of Xiangjiang movies in the eighties and nineties, did movies full of "feelings" lose less?
Some film companies even went bankrupt because of this, and some old filmmakers took out their life savings to make a high-reputation movie full of feelings, but they were stimulated by the box office of the movie and had a heart attack.
This is true even in Hollywood, the center of world cinema.
The film companies that went bankrupt and closed down because of the failure of film investment are not one or two.
It's not that the film company doesn't want to pursue word-of-mouth, but without box office support, the so-called word-of-mouth is a bubble.
The audience shouted "word-of-mouth" and "feelings" on the opposite side, but some domestic films with high reputation and nostalgic feelings, even if they won awards at foreign film festivals, still hit the street at the domestic box office.
One smash, two smashes, three slapses...... Who will invest in you to make movies in the future?
It's a strange circle, a paradox.
In order to survive, domestic and foreign film and television companies must give priority to the box office, rather than excessive pursuit of word of mouth.
"It seems that Mai Xiaoyu completely understands this truth."
Ning Shirong played with the cigar in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.
He has no intention of excusing "Running Man" produced by Meng Ren and "Twilight", which he participated in the investment, purely from the bottom of his heart. Because of similar things, Qingtian Film and Television has also encountered it.
However, the cute people are too happy.
You can't sit back and watch cute people develop like this anymore.
Ning Shirong put away his cigar and pressed the button of the landline on the table: "Susan, let Zhang Ruilin and them come to my office." ”
Half an hour later, Zhang Ruilin, Liu Lei, Pei Pengbing and Tian Ye came to Ning Shirong's office one after another. Tian Ye came the latest, and he was discussing with the screenwriter to revise the script of the new play, and hurried after receiving a phone call.
After everyone arrived, Ning Shirong ignored Liu Lei's sycophants and said straight to the point: "This year, the group will participate in the joint acquisition of XX cinemas in the United States, and I will go to the United States on behalf of the group in April." Before that, I didn't want to see the name Mai Xiaoyu again. ”
Liu Lei hugged his thighs as always: "What Rong Shao said is that I have long been unpleasant to the surname Mai." ”
Pei Pengbing was also gearing up: "I made him live too comfortably last year, and I wanted to use beauty tricks to poach Deng Chao, but one of Guyang's leading little flowers was dug up by cute people, what a bad idea!" ”
Tian Ye's face turned red.
This idea was came up with him, and he asked Guyang Film and Television to use Ma Danni, the first sister of the family, to lure and lure Deng Chao. As a result, Deng Chao couldn't respond to Ma Danni, but fell in love with Sun Li, one of Guyang's leading flowers, because of the play, Sun Li also refused Gu Yang's contract renewal, and made it clear that he wanted to join the cute.
And Guyang Film and Television relied on Pei Pengbing's investment, the love triangle hype of Ma Danni, Sun Li, and Deng Chao, as well as the quality of "Sweet Honey", and the effect was good after the broadcast.
At the same time, Deng Sunlian was exposed, and the news that Sun Li was about to sign a cute person came out, and Sun Li's popularity and worth were improved. Guyang Film and Television grabbed Sun Li's last-year contract and received a bunch of notices for her in one go, and the work was almost full.
In this way, it can be regarded as alleviating Guyang's own financial pressure, and it is not a loss.
Ning Shirong is here, in fact, he didn't suffer a loss. He gave Pei Pengbing a sum of money to invest in Gu Yang's "Sweet Honey" and made a profit. But his intention was not to make money, and he was not short of that money.
As a result, I went astray, my goal was not achieved, and I must feel uncomfortable.
The "culprit" of this situation is none other than Tian Ye. When he proposed it at the beginning, he was questioned by Zhang Ruilin, but now he has failed, and he was robbed by Pei Pengbing, and his face couldn't hold it.
"Ahem. Rong Shao, I didn't know much about Mai Xiaoyu before, but now I know that his background is quite deep, so I suggest being cautious. ”
Pei Pengbing unceremoniously struck: "His background is deep? Don't make excuses for your incompetence! ”
This is a typical way to step on the opponent and raise himself, as a well-known director in China, how can Tian Ye not hear it?
At the beginning of this year, Xinhua News Agency's Sports Times Review deliberately mentioned cute people without naming them, implying the correctness of the general direction of "Running Man", can this be accidental? Mr. Pei, don't forget how you fell from the position of CEO of Aiman Culture! ”
Ning Shirong's dirty work foursome, there is still a difference in status.
Liu Lei has the lowest status, so he can only greet Ning Shirong as much as possible at will.
Zhang Ruilin is similar to a staff officer, usually relatively low-key, just coming up with ideas, and will help Ning Shirong take care of some of the group's work arrangements like a real assistant.
The relationship between Pei Pengbing and Tian Ye was strained.
The former used to be the CEO of Aiman Culture, and the latter was a well-known TV director in China, both of whom had status and status. In order to hug the thigh of Ning Shirong, the heir of the Qingtian Group, the fight was quite fierce.
Ning Shirong saw these things in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror.
But he doesn't break it, and he doesn't stop it.
His Majesty's skill is cloudy: if you are not afraid that your subordinates will not agree with each other, you are afraid that your subordinates will be united.
"Okay, Mai Xiaoyu is a sling and has no background. relied on rhetoric to deceive several large groups into establishing a joint venture Hualong Pictures, and then pulled the tiger skin fox and fake the tiger to make the wind and rain. As for Xinhua News Agency's sports commentary, like the "News Network" that year, it was all lucky......"
Mai Xiaoyu is his own opponent, and since he went crazy and injured Ning Shirong, Ning Zhiyuan has strengthened his attention to him.
After the sports commentary incident, Ning Zhiyuan got rid of a lot of relationships, spent a lot of money, and it was easy to find out the truth from above:
There is no one above Mai Xiaoyu, but his trendy personality who dares to think and dare to do things just fits the ideas of some bigwigs in the upper echelons. And the success of "Running Man" has generated a sensational effect on itself, which is conducive to these upper-level bigwigs using it as a pilot to promote their own ideas.
Just like the bigwigs of the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture, the General Administration of Sports and other departments, they are happy to see the promotion of sports pan-entertainment, which has many benefits for both public and private purposes.
After Ning Shirong learned the truth from his father, he was ready to attack Mai Xiaoyu.
Because since last year, the cute people have been so happy. variety show "Running Man", "Running Man" big movie, "Xia Family", "Twilight", ...... This is just the beginning, and there are many more projects to be completed!
If you wait until "Inception", "The Wizard of Wonderland", "Alice in Wonderland", "Beauty Scheming", and "Mythology" are released or broadcast one after another, you can also achieve the results of those previous projects, and it will be difficult to deal with cute people!
What's more, Meng Ren went on several projects at the beginning of this year, "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "The Princess of the World", and "Step by Step Shocking" are all big projects.
Ning Shirong will never allow tigers to be a problem!
In order to prove his value, Tian Ye said again: "Rong Shao, didn't you say that there were too many projects last year, and the financial pressure was very high?" For example, the new projects launched by their company this year all have external funds involved. ”
"Huh." Ning Shirong sneered twice, "Ruilin, what I asked you to investigate, how is the investigation?" ”
Zhang Ruilin replied calmly: "Zhang Investment Co., Ltd., the legal representative of Zhang Xiaoxing, and the shareholder Zhang Xiaoquan each account for 20% of the shares, and the major shareholder Mai Xiaoyu accounts for 60% of the shares; Zhang Yu Investment Co., Ltd., legal representative Zhang Xiaoquan, and shareholder Xiao Xiaoxing each account for 20% of the shares, and the major shareholder Mai Xiaoyu accounts for 60% of the shares. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said in an emphatic tone: "The two investment companies mainly invest in residential buildings and shops, concentrated in Yanjing, Donghai, Shencheng and Yangcheng. At present, the shops are being sold one after another, plus the investment in high-end residential buildings in the university district and the range of lots, the total assets of the two companies are nearly one billion, and the asset-liability ratio is less than 50%. ”
I'll it!
Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye and Liu Lei were greatly stimulated and looked at each other.
The total assets are nearly one billion, and the asset-liability ratio is less than 50%, that is to say, the net assets can be 500 million!
With so much money, coupled with Mengren's already abundant cash flow, those projects last year could not pose any pressure on Mengren's capital chain!
Liu Lei was the most stimulated.
Thinking about the money for a few years, he also made a bold statement because of the failure of Qianliutao and was beaten by Mai Xiaoyu, saying that he would block all the businesses of Meng Ren in the Yanjing advertising industry; But now the investment company jointly owned by Mai Xiaoyu and two small partners has a net worth of 500 million yuan......
It's not 10,000 points of damage, it's critical hits, tons of critical damage!
Ning Shirong lit his cigar and took a puff: "I heard it." Why did you all lose to Mai Xiaoyu, because he was too cunning. Take a look at the "People in Embarrassment" that Meng Ren is preparing to shoot this year......"
Public opinion is questioning cute people, infected by commercial copper odor, and the movies they shoot only focus on the box office, giving up the traditional word-of-mouth.
In this situation, the cute person must not let it go.
On the one hand, he used the mouth of the media to show his attitude towards pursuing movies and books; On the other hand, after the Spring Festival, it was announced in a high-profile manner that Zhang Xiaoquan would shoot a low-budget comedy film "People in Embarrassment", in order to continue the excellent reputation of cute people for small-budget films.
"People in Embarrassment", with a production cost of 8 million, starring Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang, have already filmed some shots during the Chinese New Year, and it will be a sincere work for all audiences who support cute people.
"The investment of 8 million, the starring salary is converted into the production cost, and there are four million from Zhang Zhang Investment and Zhang Xu Investment, making it seem that it is difficult for cute people to come up with another four million......"
"Heh, hehe, hahaha! This is Chiguoguo's taking me for a fool and deliberately deceiving me, making me think that their company is under great financial pressure, the capital chain may be broken, and there is a good opportunity for acquisition. ”
"It's a good Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, do you really think you can keep me in the dark all the time and let the cute people become bigger?"
"Too much deception!"
Ning Shirong laughed angrily, and his eyes fell on Pei Pengbing and Liu Lei.
Liu Lei reacted with a shudder: "Rong Shao, don't worry, I will arrange someone to follow Mai Xiaoyu and find out his life trajectory and daily travel route." ”
Pei Pengbing's face was full of perseverance: "Rong Shao, I know what to do." ”
"Ha, it's your business to do it, I don't know anything, and I don't even ask, in short, I don't want to see Mai Xiaoyu's name popping up in front of my eyes again."
Belch......
Ning Shirong's words picked himself up.
Tian Ye shuddered, frightened.
Liu Lei and Pei Pengbing felt bitter in their hearts, and their perseverance was shaken, but now they have no way out.
Zhang Ruilin's face was as usual, as if he hadn't heard anything, but his heart turned upside down: It's time to call again......
