Chapter 127: Filming is about to start
In the past three days, Dongye Studio has been in full swing to carry out the filming, Li Jiaban called the day before to inform him, and it is expected that he will be able to come over at noon today, and Wu Xiubo and Haiqing of Jinlong Film and Television will go directly to the opening ceremony.
Dongye Film and Television Office.
"Brother Dong, the media and newspapers we are familiar with have been invited, and when Li Jiaban and the leading actors arrive, the movie opening ceremony will begin."
Listening to Luo Feng's words, Ye Xiangdong nodded, there was still an hour.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took the time to talk to Su Yi about the publication of the physical books of "The Road to Heaven" and "Yanjing Meets Seattle", it seems that the progress is good, Huaxia Publishing House is very sincere, the price is reasonable, and the printing is only a matter of time, the initial printing volume is about 100,000 copies, the road to heaven accounts for two-thirds, and the rest is "Yanjing Meets Seattle".
In order to expand their influence, Huaxia Publishing House and Dongye Studio announced that they would print 200,000 copies, which was more than doubled.
After all, it is difficult for today's publishing industry to survive, and the development of Internet culture is too rapid, according to statistics, in real life, only one in 1,000 people is willing to pay for genuine books, and the purchase rate is too low.
The effect is: Yo, look at it, this publication is still a bit of a head, printing 200,000 copies at a time, "The Road to Heaven" is millions of words, a complete set of at least 100 yuan, and there are tens of millions of incomes after careful calculation, "Yanjing Meets Seattle" has not many words, and it is a single book. But if nothing else, it can sell for millions. This is by no means a problem.
The subconscious of man is strong, under the herd mentality. Maybe as soon as the brain is hot, you will buy a copy, and if you do a good job of publicity, you will often have unexpected gains, which is also an unwritten propaganda method among publishing houses.
The two were talking energetically, when they saw Jin Yarong, who had beautiful legs and eyebrows, broke into the office with a happy face.
Ye Xiangdong glared at her, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing in a panic?" Don't be frizzy and frizzy. ”
Jin Yarong lowered his head aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice: "What, you said it yourself." I'll let you know as soon as a foreign filmmaker comes. ”
Alien filmmakers?
Hearing these four words, Su Yi and Ye Xiangdong's eyes lit up at the same time, and they immediately stood up.
Nima, Kaizi is here!
This time, "Crazy Stone" was released, with a total box office of 1.13 billion, and the news came out, shocking some surrounding countries, the Asian film industry has not been as good as Europe and the United States, and there are very few movies with a box office of one billion.
In addition, this time Dongye Studio released the wind. Because of its unique editing method, the Emmy Awards ceremony in the United States officially invited Ye Xiangdong, and if you are lucky, you may be able to get a trophy overseas at the end of August.
Now. The overseas filmmakers who were still in a wait-and-see state couldn't sit still, Asian countries have always bloomed outside the wall, and the fragrance inside the wall is fragrant, if you wait until "Crazy Stone" wins an award abroad. That's repaid, and the price must not soar several times.
Buying and selling at a loss. That's not going to work!
Therefore, after hearing that Ye Xiangdong was about to go abroad to shoot a movie. Treasure Island, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. quickly jumped out, and sent calls to Dongye Studio one by one, first congratulating, and then, of course, talking about the issue of overseas releases.
"A few delegates from the future are invited to come." Ye Xiangdong said.
He was worried about how to make more money, but now there are too many places to use money, and the 180 million box office dividends of "Crazy Stone" are simply not enough.
"Wait." Su Yi stopped Jin Yarong's footsteps, met the puzzled eyes of the two, and explained: "Actually, we don't have to be so anxious, it's them who should be anxious, although "Crazy Stone" is popular now, it hasn't won any awards at home and abroad, and if it is overseas, it may hit the street, and the gains outweigh the losses, but what if it drags on until the end of the Emmy Awards?" There is a foreign jackpot to add points and color, and the total overseas box office will definitely rise sharply, maybe it can be comparable to our domestic box office. ”
Su Yi's meaning, Ye Xiangdong understands, maximize benefits.
Calculating the time, if it is only the end of August, it is possible to wait, and it will take a month and a half to invest in the production drawings and detailed budget statements of the film and television city, which is theoretically still in time.
So he followed Su Yi's words and asked, "You mean to reject them first?" We'll talk about it then? ”
Su Yi shook his head and said with a light smile: "It's not that we refuse them all, we can select a few agents with more market value, cooperate with them, and test the water in the neighboring areas, if the box office is still high, then the benefits we will get in the future will be higher." ”
Ye Xiangdong thought about it, in fact, Su Yi's words were only half of what he said, objectively speaking, what if it was Waterloo in other regions? As long as there is one, then even if it wins the Emmy Awards, it will not help, and the cooperation benefit will be greatly reduced, which is a double-edged sword.
"It seems that you have the answer in mind, let's talk about it, which areas are you going to choose to test the water first?" Looking at Su Yi's confident expression, Ye Xiangdong knew that she had a plan and asked.
"Xiaomei and I have done market research before, and our best partner at the moment can be Treasure Island, Hong Kong or Singapore, because there are not many cultural differences, it is relatively easier to accept "Crazy Stone", and after the local release, the box office should be good."
Ye Xiangdong sounded reasonable, and was about to go with Su Yi to receive the film agents of Baodao and Hong Kong, but the three fat men broke in again, saying that Wu Xiubo, Haiqing, and Li Jiaban had all arrived at the opening ceremony and asked him if it was time to pass.
"Dongzi, the matter of your new movie is important, you go and get busy, as for the negotiation of the film company, I will leave it to Xiaomei and me, rest assured, you will definitely be satisfied." Su Yi was very eye-catching, and saw Ye Xiangdong's embarrassment, and immediately spoke.
"Then I'm bothering you, Sister Su."
"Where, the interests of the two of us are bound, and helping you is also helping myself."
"That's okay, when the overseas box office comes back, I'll give you a big red envelope." Ye Xiangdong said with a smile, and then followed the three fat men to the opening ceremony.
Ten minutes later, just after walking into the backstage, Li Jiaban and others hugged Ye Xiangdong enthusiastically, not enthusiastic.
This kid is really interesting.
The final box office of "Super Lucky" that they filmed with their own director was more than 600 million, and they were tired and tired for a month, but the red envelope money was only a few thousand yuan, but Ye Xiangdong was different, he was too generous, and it was directly the beginning of 10,000 words, and it was so cool to cooperate with this kind of director that he had no friends.
"Dongzi, thank you." Old acquaintances Zhang Yan and Liu Yizhou stepped forward to give Ye Xiangdong a bear hug and patted each other's backs fiercely.
It's not hypocrisy, but gratitude, both of them have reached the age of marriage, but after a few years, they still can't afford to buy a house in Yanjing, and the marriage date with the female ticket has been delayed.
A few days ago, there was really no way to force it, the two found Li Chongyan and wanted to borrow some money, but Li Chongyan was a little tight, it was also a marriage problem, and the money he had just earned bought a house and a car for his two sons, and he couldn't take it for the time being.
After several twists and turns, I found Ye Xiangdong.
At that time, Ye Xiangdong didn't even think about it, and did not hesitate to take out three million and hand them over, this kind of moving emotion could not be expressed in words.
"Okay, I'm not going to do it." Ye Xiangdong joked with a smile.
"Director, a group of media reporters have arrived, shall we begin?" At this time, the staff came over and asked.
"Got it." Ye Xiangdong nodded, looked at Di Lire, Wu Xiubo, Hai Qing and other actors came over, burst out of their voices, waved their big hands, and shouted: "Go, let's go together!" ”
The new movie has officially begun. (To be continued......)
