Chapter 041: The Talks Failed
"Shhh
At this moment, all eyes were focused on him, and the inner thoughts were similar. Secretly said, this kid doesn't look at what kind of fresh radish skin he is, and he really dares to say anything.
Thanks to Ye Jingcheng, he kept a smiling face when he entered the door, if he hadn't reached out and didn't hit the smiling person, he would have been bombarded out by someone.
Where is he here to talk about cooperation now, he simply wants the theater to treat you as the God of Wealth, the most important thing is that do you have this capital? Who wouldn't say big things alone?
Lei Juekun snorted coldly after hearing this, and questioned: "I'm a straight person, since you can say this, do you really have this ability?" ”
Ye Jingcheng pointed to Mecca and the others, and then pointed to himself, and said without hesitation: "What the seven of them can do, I can solve it alone." ”
"What a big breath." At this time, Shi Tian, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
Although the other people didn't say anything, they looked at Ye Jingcheng with unkind eyes. Including Zeng Zhiwei, who was smiling just now, his face also turned cold with his words.
"First of all, I declare that everything I say next is not to inferiorize others, but also to let you know my abilities." After speaking, Ye Jingcheng glanced at Mecca and the others intriguingly.
"Admittedly, my company has been around for less than a month, and I don't have enough time to gain experience. At present, the company has only produced one movie, which is "Human Meat Roast Shop", which was released at the beginning of the month. ”
"The production cost of this drama is 178,000, and the box office in this port is... Three hundred... Eighty... Twenty thousand. ”
Hearing this, Mecca finally reacted, Ye Jingcheng's words just now were obviously humiliating him. To say that he doesn't have enough time to accumulate experience is actually to imply that his ability is not as good as his own.
Or that he was already so good at the beginning of his business, not like Mecca who fell several times before he got up. Mecca is the mother of success and success, and behind his success is strategy.
"Go on." Lei Juekun's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, but he didn't expect that the film "Human Meat Roast Shop", which made him worry, was actually made by this unknown kid in front of him.
Shaw Brothers has actually made a lot of blockbuster films this year, but unfortunately most of them are Fengyue films that can't be on the stage. If these Fengyue films are missing those meat-selling scenes, the box office results may not be one in ten.
There are only two films that have really won 3 million box office results with the film's own exquisite plot.
One is "The Peerless Twins" with a box office of four million, ranking fourth at the annual box office. The other is the 3.17 million box office "Lin Yazhen Tiger Fish, Shrimp and Crab", ranking seventh at the annual box office.
In addition, films such as "Merry Broken Sword Little Knife", "Full Moon Scimitar", "Thief Detective", and "Crazy Monkey" have achieved more than two million results, so although there are signs of decline on the surface of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest has not been able to shake its leading throne.
Especially in the film "Thief and Detective Duoduo", it can already be seen that Shao Daheng has begun to transform and try to shoot modern urban genre films, if this film with a box office of more than 2 million is just testing the waters.
So the appearance of "Human Meat Roast Shop", it can be said that Shaw Brothers has begun to exert force. According to this situation, in the near future, Shaw Brothers will complete the transformation, and it will no longer be a martial arts film that makes the audience tired of seeing it.
Seeing that Lei Juekun was thoughtful, Ye Jingcheng continued: "The company has started filming the second work, which is expected to be completed in early December. I think the local box office of this drama can reach one, thousand, ten thousand. ”
"Hou Shengzi, are you saying the wrong thing quickly, what you want to say is a million, right?" Huang Baiming said with some sarcasm.
"A million?" Ye Jingcheng curled the corners of his mouth helplessly and said: "The cost of this drama alone has exceeded this number. ”
……
……
……
For a while, the conference room was extremely quiet.
Everyone was skeptical of Ye Jingcheng's words, but they couldn't find any reason to refute them.
Mecca also has a movie with a million investments, but it is just a "One-Armed Knife vs. Blind Man", which made him, who had just stood up from failure, fall into the bottomless mud pit again, and lost nearly 300,000 yuan.
Is a million investment so good to pay off? Apparently not. At the very least, there must be a box office of three million to be considered profitable. Three million more or less? From the fact that there are only seven films in the year that can break this number, it is enough to prove that the difficulty is not half a star.
In the eyes of those present, "Human Meat Roast Shop" exceeded 3 million box office, and Ye Jingcheng should have gone to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Another work like this is called extravagant hope, not to mention that he has not even touched the ladder of five million, and he wants to break through the barrier of 10 million box office.
Sometimes self-confidence is a good thing, but there's a difference between self-confidence and conceit. Self-confidence is having confidence in the future, and conceit is being paranoid about mistakes.
Why does Ye Jingcheng have this confidence, either he is stupid, or he is crazy, there is no third possibility. You say 10 million is 10 million, why don't you say that you are the governor of Hong Kong, or can you predict the future?
"The eloquence of the offspring is really first-class."
Lei Juekun couldn't help but give a thumbs up in appreciation, and continued: "However, you said so much. If this is the case, it stands to reason that Shao Daheng should fully support you, why do you still come to talk to me about cooperation? ”
"Uncle Six, his heart is old, and he can't keep up with the aesthetics of the times. And to put the cause in the hands of a woman who has no tolerance for others is a fatal mistake. Ye Jingcheng shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.
"I'll just assume that what you say is true."
Lei Juekun knocked the ash off the pipe, and then added tobacco and lit it. said: "But you simply want to cooperate with me with a single sentence, for which I have to reorganize the theater at least half a year early, and there are several times the previous labor costs." ”
In fact, it does not mean that films cannot be released during the reorganization period, on the contrary, several films have been released on Golden Princess, and the decoration of the theater can be said to be only part of the overall reorganization plan.
In addition, a suitable time is needed, and a good time can more or less alleviate the blockage caused by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. The golden princess of the original time and space took advantage of the fact that Golden Harvest and the Shaw Brothers were in full swing to join the battlefield as a third party and successfully gain a firm foothold.
In addition to these two conditions, Princess Jin also needs a life signboard that can take on the banner, such as Bruce Lee and Chenglong in the hands of Golden Harvest. The movies released on the Golden Princess now are either companies with leather bags and materials, or they are following the trend and making small fuss, which cannot meet this condition at all.
Therefore, in the case that Lei Juekun needs to win over everyone in Xinyi City, the time and place are favorable, so as to minimize the risk, and he can also catch the opponent off guard.
"Lei Sheng..."
Without waiting for Ye Jingcheng to continue to persuade, Lei Juekun had already stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Okay, I will consider your suggestion, let's go out first if it's okay." ”
"In that case, then I'll take my leave."
Ye Jingcheng smuggled into Hong Kong so far, it can be said that it is the first time that he has eaten behind closed doors. Although he had been mentally prepared before he came, he even expected that he would not even be able to see Lei Juekun. But getting this answer disappointed him even more than not seeing anyone.
Maybe Lei Juekun didn't take him seriously, or maybe the other party was playing with the desire to get away with it, but these are not the most important things. The important thing is that he has a feeling of being manipulated.
"Hmph."
Seeing Ye Jingcheng leaving, everyone in the conference room looked at each other coldly. A few people were even more disdainful in their hearts, and just now this person stepped on them a lot, in order to improve Lei Juekun's impression of him.
It's been nearly half an hour of meetings again, and today's topic is finally over.
At this time, Lei Juekun, who had sent everyone away, called the secretary and instructed: "Xiaoling, help me call Li Ji and ask him to follow this young boy." ”
"In addition, help me find out the person in charge of the reorganization project of the theater line, and ask him to come to see me immediately." Before the secretary left, Lei Juekun gave another command.
"Got it, Lei Sheng." Xiao Ling nodded and left the conference room. Returning to her seat, Guo Xiaoling took out a phone book from the drawer and dialed one of the numbers on it.
"Hey."
"Hello, Almighty Detective Agency, I'm Li Zhiqun." The other end of the line responded.
