Chapter 277 Scene 277 The layout of the two sides
"Weishenme can't do it, we don't have one or two projects that we reject every year, we have all rejected Jiang Wen's, can he Li Xiaole Weishenme not?" Han Xiaoli's voice became louder.
"Xiaoli, I'll ask you a question." Han Sanpin turned his head to look at him and said.
"What's the problem?" Han Xiaoli asked.
"Can you please Ge You, Zhang Guorong?" Han Sanpin looked at him with a wry smile.
"This ...... I'm ......" Han Xiaoli was suddenly speechless.
"I don't know how Director Li was able to do it, but it must have taken a lot of thought." Han Sanpin sighed: "Director Xiao Li is a drama idiot, if we don't support him now, then it will chill his heart, and not only his heart, but also the hearts of all the directors of the group, and there will be no good talents to our film in the future." ”
"I understand this truth, but we can't put all of us in for the sake of his success or failure." Han Xiaoli also felt very embarrassed.
"In this case, let's apply for a special meeting of the group." Han Sanpin's eyes suddenly lit up and knocked on the table.
"Convening a special meeting on the group's projects? Do you mean let all the delegates vote? Han Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to his senses, and clapped his hands excitedly: "Good idea~ Good idea~ Let Yan Jie and their gang reject this project, so that we don't have to take risks, and we don't have to hurt Director Xiao Li's heart, the best of both worlds~ The best of both worlds~"
"There's no way around it." Han Sanpin smiled bitterly.
The news of Han Sanpin's application for the special meeting for the project application reached Yan Fusheng's ears for the first time, and when he knew that the investment amount applied by Li Xiaole was 65 million, the whole person was stunned.
He immediately rushed to find his father, and just walked to the door of the general manager's office, only to find Director Zhao walking back and forth in the corridor in front of the conference room worriedly.
"Director Yan, you're here too." Director Zhao saw him and immediately greeted him: "Mr. Yan is having a meeting with people inside, and now he won't let people in." ”
"Are you also here for Li Xiaole's investment in that project?" Yan Fusheng stared at him and said straight to the point.
"Yes~ Director Yan, you must tell Mr. Yan this time, this Li Xiaole is simply lawless, his appetite is too big, we must not let him get this project, otherwise where will we have a foothold in the future!" Director Zhao took Yan Fusheng's hand painfully.
"Do you still need to say it? The old man is here to have a meeting with me~" Yan Fusheng had a cold face, and pushed open the door of the office, inside Yan Jie was having a meeting with more than a dozen theater managers, and he also looked at the people who broke through the door in amazement.
"Just sit down when you come." Yan Jie didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "We are discussing the application for the project "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and we are about to discuss with you whether this project is likely to be approved. ”
"What?" As soon as Yan Fusheng sat down, the person stood up.
"Don't worry, you first look at the documents written by Han Sanpin for the application meeting." Yan Jie asked the secretary to hand over the documents to Yan Fusheng.
After reading it, Yan Fusheng was so angry that his hands trembled and he said in a trembling voice: "What is 'creating a market with blockbusters, and if you don't take risks, you will fall behind'." High-sounding and alarmist! Excitedly, he slapped the table: "I think it's him Han Sanpin who wants to take over Xie Lao's position and wants to go crazy!" I want to take the future of the group to fight for results! It will not work out as they wish! ”
Yan Jie sat motionless on the chair in front of the big desk, but he could see that he was thinking about something.
"I think so." Director Zhao excitedly puffed up the blue tendons on his forehead, and said loudly:
"The last time he Han Sanpin took that Li Xiaole to see Xie Lao secretly, I reminded him of waking up. He Han Sanpin just wants to develop his henchmen, how is it now? Invest 65 million? It's going to put us all in there! Mr. Yan~ We can't let them come so nonsense!! I think this Li Xiaole is a traitor at all, not wanting to make a movie! I just want to make a fortune from the group!! What movie requires a budget of 65 million!! Our group has never had such a budget!! ”
Yan Fusheng and Director Zhao are all in a hurry, they are not worried about what group is not group, what they really feel extremely angry is what Li Xiaole has done!
You must know that their gang of people move from the investment funds all year round, and they can only earn 20 million behind-the-scenes income throughout the year, this Li Xiaole will apply for 65 million as soon as he comes up, if he hacks one-third of the budget, it will be more than their hard-earned money throughout the year......
Originally, Li Xiaole was a small character they didn't care about at all, but now Yan Fusheng and they suddenly discovered that these people were not of the same magnitude at all compared to this little production director...... The frustration is immense.
You must know that he Yan Fusheng and Zhao have been in the group for more than ten years before they have their current status, and he Li Xiaole has only been in the group for a year, so he wants to make so many !? Why is he such a kid!? How dare he, this kid!?
"Sanpin shouldn't be that kind of person." Yan Jie still didn't move, but his eyes had already moved to look at the two of them from a distance: "Whatever you do, you have to put yourself in a different role." What would you do if you were replaced, or you, at the point of Han Sanpin? ”
Yan Fusheng and Director Zhao glanced at each other, both showing thoughtful expressions.
Yan Jie said indifferently: "You only saw that things were beneficial to Han Sanpin, but you didn't notice that this matter was a double-edged sword for him, and if he didn't handle it well, he would kill him at any time." ”
"Why are you talking to Han Sanpin again!? Why do you always think so well of him? If the project is in danger, he can directly reject it, and Weishenme wants to take it to the meeting for us to vote? Yan Fusheng looked at his father hatefully, and his tone was full of resentment.
"You also know that he can decide directly that Weishenme wants to get us to the meeting and let us vote?" Yan Jie looked at him and asked.
"This ...... He just doesn't want to fall into the mouth of a 'dictatorship', so that he can show those CEOs how good his popularity is~" Yan Fusheng hesitated, but immediately hummed.
"Then how much do you expect this film to be released at the box office?" Yan Jie continued to ask.
"Last time, they were lucky, but this time there is Ge You, I think it shouldn't be lower than 'Crazy Stone'......" Yan Fusheng thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, even if they can get 50 million box office, this is already an optimistic estimate." After Yan Jie finished speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Director Zhao, you are the director of production, you can help me calculate an account, what is the investment income of this project?" ”
"Yes...... According to the box office account, excluding taxes, there is also the money of the theater chain, and the money zuihou is 18.4 million...... "Director Zhao is famous for his mental arithmetic, and he got the number of zuihou with a roll of his eyes."
After Yan Fusheng heard this number, the whole person calmed down, and looked at Yan Jie suspiciously:
"You mean, even if his movie does well at the box office, the project is bound to lose money?" In this way, there is a loss of almost 50 million at the box office and cost, no matter what the profit of popcorn on the theater side is, it will never be possible to fill this big loophole.
"If you do a project and you lose half of our group's investment for the whole year, what will happen to you?" Yan Jie's weak eyes shone with excitement.
Yan Fusheng was silent, he was so angry just now that he didn't think of this, but he still felt uneasy and asked: "But how do you know that his box office is only 50 million?" What if he crosses 100 million? ”
"Manager Chu, you have worked in the theater for fifteen years, and you came to tell Yan Fusheng how you predicted the box office of the movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". Yan Jie's eyes glanced at a courteous theater manager.
I saw that Manager Chu, stepped forward to tidy up the computer, closed the curtains and turned on the projector, and a table was projected on the wall.
"At this time, according to the analysis of the mainland film market in the past three years, there are 18 films with the theme of aiqing, including 12 American films with an average box office of 7.23 million, France and the United Kingdom with an average box office of 780,000 each, and 4 Hong Kong mainland films with an average box office of 5.12 million......
The box office of Feng's comedy starring Ge You is 36 million yuan for "Party A and Party B", 43 million yuan for "See You or Leave", 33 million yuan for "Endless", 30 million yuan for "A Sigh", 43 million yuan for "Big Names", and the average box office appeal of Ge You as the starring actor is 37 million.
In recent years, Zhang Guorong has starred in only two movies in China, "Farewell My Concubine" (39.7 million) and "Red Lover" (28.6 million), with an average box office appeal of 34.15 million.
After the comprehensive calculation of the above three data, we expect that the box office data of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" should be between 35.60-51.27 million......"
After Manager Chu finished the report, Yan Jie asked the other 7 theater managers to speak one by one, and each of them took out a variety of different data, and none of the box office predictions of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" reached Zuihou's conclusion exceeded the 52 million mark.
Yan Fusheng was a little stunned at first, but the more he listened, the more excited he became, he seemed to understand what his father was going to do, and after listening to the speech of a theater manager in Zuihou, he slapped the table angrily:
"What a Han Sanpin! He wants to borrow our hands to keep Li Xiaole's heart!? Let's sing blackface! How vicious the intentions! ”
"You understand, but what do you think we should do?" Yan Jie's old face was rarely flushed with excitement, and he looked at Director Zhao and Yan Fusheng and asked.
"Of course we have to let them pass, and we also have to help them sing a high note, just say that this project is very good, so that Han Sanpin has nowhere to escape." Yan Fusheng's eyes showed a ruthless look, and he had already begun to fantasize about the defeat of Han Sanpin and Li Xiaole.
