Chapter 397: Calm New Year's File
Ye Jingcheng saw two beauties at the airport, namely Lin Qingxia and Lu Xiuya, who had just arrived on Hong Kong Island. But he didn't choose to drive to follow www.biquge.info first of all, he wasn't an idiot, and he didn't have this kind of interest in tailgating.
Moreover, he doesn't have this kung fu now, he and Pan Yingzi have been tossing and turning from late to morning for most of the day, and he hasn't been back to the company for several days, so there must be dozens of documents that need to be signed in the office.
And Lin Qingxia and the others also have their own private space, whether they are here to find him or not, they will naturally meet when they should meet, he doesn't need to be in a hurry at all, maybe when they settle down, they will take the initiative to come to him?
So after Ye Jingcheng left the airport, he returned directly to the exclusive office of Green Lantern Entertainment.
As soon as he sat down, Zhu Baoyi took advantage of the fact that he had no work at hand, slipped in and said in a flirtatious manner: "Brother Cheng, what do you need most now?" Coffee? Tea? Or me? ”
"I choose coffee." Ye Jingcheng smiled without conscience. He hadn't slept much last night, and he really needed a cup of coffee to refresh himself.
"Humph! Ignore you. Seeing that Ye Jingcheng was not pleased, Zhu Baoyi stomped his feet angrily. However, he ignored it, and finally obediently served a cup of coffee and stood aside to sort out the documents for Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng has not been in the company in the past few days, and there are more than ten or twenty documents waiting for him to sign by himself. One of them is the operation of the theater chain in recent days, Ye Jingcheng is still more concerned about this document, so he picked it up and carefully checked the data.
Now, not long after the Lunar New Year, it is the best New Year of the year. The movies released in this schedule have at least a 30% increase in box office results.
It's a pity that this year's New Year's file, several major companies have not made any elaborate production. In other words, the three major companies of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Green Lantern, it was the tossing and turning on the 'big production' some time ago that caused this New Year's file to be sluggish.
went down to Qinglan spent nearly 3 million to pile up the local movie "The True Color of Heroes", and to the Hollywood productions with a budget of more than 10 million US dollars, namely Golden Harvest's "Killer Trench" and Shaw Brothers' "Blade Runner".
Don't look at the production cost of three million for "The True Color of Heroes", it seems to be only a fraction of the last two movies. However, compared with ordinary local films, the average production cost of the latter is about 200,000 or 300,000, even at the middle and upper levels, it is only 500,000 or 600,000, and 3 million has already raised the level several times.
And the most important point is that Ye Jingcheng's investment has received a crazy return, more than three million seems to be a lot, but compared to its more than ten times the income, who will care about this cost?
What's more, 30 million is just the income of one place on Hong Kong Island, and it is estimated that those filmmakers still wish they had such a big production in their hands. Not to mention the box office of 30 million, a 7 or 8 million is enough for them to earn.
The reason why Green Lantern Entertainment did not invest in new movies is that Ye Jingcheng did not have time to write scripts some time ago, and those screenwriters in the company's creative department did not have good enough scripts.
It's not that they didn't make a difference, on the contrary, there were still five or six scripts sent to Ye Jingcheng, but unfortunately these scripts were all withdrawn by Ye Jingcheng with his hand.
Including Huang Shanyao, Li Lichi, Gao Zhisen and several other screenwriters, they either lack experience and are immature in all aspects of expression and logic. Either the thinking is still stuck in the past few years, and it is impossible to grasp the important factors of commercial films.
It seems that Ye Jingcheng also has an impression of the scripts sent to "Soldiers and Thieves", "Loser", and "Mouse Street", and it is precisely because of his impression that he remembers that the box office of these movies is only one or two million.
The starting point of Green Lantern Entertainment is very high, which is not comparable to several other film companies, which is also Ye Jingcheng's unique advantage. The company's first production after the establishment of the theater - "Wangfu Jackie Chan", the box office exceeded 13 million.
and then "Why Have Me", "Seven Days of Love", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Happy Ghost" and "True Colors of Heroes", each movie has created a new high at the box office. From 10 million, to 15 million, to 20 million......
Although the box office of "Why Me" did not exceed 10 million, it focused on social significance, and won the support of every worker who silently paid for the society, so it brought more important fame to the company.
So if you embark on high-end green lantern entertainment, how can you go back and shoot some crude works. The minimum requirement for a movie, even if the box office is not over 10 million, at least there must be 7 or 8 million, right?
Secondly, although Green Lantern Entertainment does not have its own production, the box office performance of the movies released during the New Year is no less than the company's own production, because this movie released is the most appreciated "Empire Strikes Back" in the "Star Wars" series.
And Ye Jingcheng's decision has a deeper meaning, that is, to make the outside world think that he is provoking Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.
Because of these two tens of millions of dollars in Hollywood productions, the momentum of the publicity before the release can be said to be overwhelming, but after the release, it was described as a person who wanted to and squatted in the toilet for a long time, who knew that only a fart popped out in the end.
"Killer Trench" is worth 3 million at the box office, and "Blade Runner" has less than 3 million at the box office. The value of these two big productions is higher than that of local films, and even the middle and upper class films have earned more box office than them. Not to mention that they have a Hollywood name, but in the end they become a joke.
And "Star Wars 5" released by Green Lantern Entertainment is just an agency release. Now it has only been released for a week, and the box office has reached 7.2 million, and with the blessing of the halo of the New Year's file, there will be at least 12 or 3 million when the painting is made.
Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers and Brothers came out again, and as a result, the movie made a joke on Hong Kong Island. And Ye Jingcheng is neither a native nor a person. Just put this movie on the screen of his own theater, which brought him at least a few million profits.
For Ye Jingcheng, the more or less of millions is secondary, and the important thing is to slap Jiahe and Shaw Brothers hard, and the fact that this approach has also made the two major companies a lot better.
There is no way, they have lost a mess in the first two rounds, and Green Lantern Entertainment has taken advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold, if they continue to fight hard like this, they will be the ones who will cause the biggest losses.
Sometimes Shao Yifu and Wrinkles feel that they can't accept old age, and they don't understand why Ye Jingcheng has so many whimsical ideas. From the bloody horror film at the beginning, to the new-school martial arts film in the middle, and then to the current gunfight film with violent aesthetics.
Therefore, they also gave up the decision to continue to suppress Ye Jingcheng, or even if they continued to suppress, it would not have an effect, and they might be used by the other party to return the pistol. It's better to stabilize your position first, no longer think about launching any blockbusters, but follow the original production plan, step by step.
