In the office of the president of Shao's Film Company, after Shao Daheng was busy with the work at hand, he dialed a phone and asked: "How is the attendance rate of 'Dragon Hunt'?" ”

On the other end of the phone, the manager in charge of distribution cautiously replied: "Sixth uncle, the attendance rate in the morning has always been not very good, you know this. In addition, when the filming of this film started, there was no rumor, and the secrecy work was too good. And the release was very sudden and urgent, and I haven't had time to promote it yet. The current attendance rate is only more than 20% and less than 30%. ”

"Then hurry up and do publicity." Shao Tycoon advised: "If there is any latest news, notify me immediately." ”

"Okay Sixth Uncle."

"By the way, how is the attendance rate of happy ghosts in 'Tang Dynasty Cinemas'?"

"Based on the latest news I've received, it's pretty good. There is seventy or eighty percent of the attendance. The main thing is that the publicity over there is well done, and the news was released before the shooting. After it was made, newspapers, television, and various advertisements on the walls were all over the place, and everyone knew about it. So the attendance rate is relatively high. ”

"It's only seventy or eighty?"

Shao Tycoon shrugged his brows, this time the secrecy of the new film "Searching for the Dragon and Treasure" was done so well, and he even did not hesitate to release the smokescreen bomb of the "elders" to be released, just to block the new film "Happy Ghost" of Oriental Hollywood International Film Company, but he didn't expect the attendance rate to be so low, and he couldn't help sighing and said: "Okay, you should also hurry up and do publicity." With that, he hung up the phone.

To be honest, the film "Hunting for the Dragon and Treasure" is good, Wu Yusen studied under the great director Zhang Ce of the Shao family, and has also been in the film industry for many years, and the story written by Chen Jianxun is very interesting. In addition, there are Zheng Shaohao, Qin Xianglin, Wu Yaohan, Zengjiang, Cangtian Baozhao, Oshima Yugali, Wu Mengda, Huang Jinrong, Li Yuanba and Zhao Yuzhi These big names starred, if the publicity is done well, it will definitely win at the box office.

It's a pity that Shao Tycoon was in a hurry to release it in order to stop the "happy ghost", so he ignored the publicity.

In fact, at that time, filmmakers paid little attention to publicity. It's like the "Provincial and Hong Kong Surprise Soldiers" jointly created by the three movie strongmen Mai Baoxiong, Hong Jinbao and Chen Jianxun, which was released at the same time as "Happy Ghost" in the original time and space, is in full swing. However, the "Happy Ghost" did not promote it much because of limited financial problems. But in the end, it won more than 10 million box office, leaving the "provincial and Hong Kong strange soldiers" behind.

In the final analysis, you have to see whether the film is good or not, and if you want the audience to buy tickets to enter the venue, you must come up with sincere works. Perfunctory to fool the audience, that's definitely not okay. No one is stupid these days, and people's eyes are bright.

Just after Shao Tycoon arranged to promote it, Liang Yongshu, the manager of "Jiahe Cinema Line", also reported to Wuff Wenhuai on the release of "Descendants of the Martial Saint". Just like the problem faced by Shao's family, because he was in a hurry to release the film and ignored the publicity, the attendance rate was very small. If this continues, the theater chain will not only not make money, but also lose money.

Faced with such a situation, of course, Boss Wrinkle was not very happy, so he called the Xiang brothers and the Ma brothers, the bosses of "Dark Horse International", and directly told them that the attendance rate was very low. The current situation is either to increase publicity to stimulate the audience's viewing heat; Either that, or just draw it directly.

The Xiang brothers and the Ma brothers each contributed millions, and finally made a film, just to make a big profit in the film industry, and now they naturally disagree. However, they also knew that it was not a way to continue like this, so they each took out 500,000 yuan for advertising and publicity.

At that time, Gu Weiqi also received a fax from Xu Yanbing about the release of "Happy Ghost", and the attendance rate was more than seventy percent, nearly eighty percent. For a small-budget movie, especially if there is no big-name star starring, and it is still a morning session, it is very good to be able to reach nearly eighty percent of the attendance.

Of course, in order to keep Boss Gu informed of the movements of competitors, Xu Yanbing faxed him the attendance data of "Jiahe" and "Shao's Cinema Line". When he learned that the attendance rate of these two families was only two or three percent, he knew that this time the "knife saw the big tree" was more certain. In particular, the follow-up strategy of "buy five get one free" and lottery activities will be able to further increase the audience's viewing popularity.

"It seems that the attendance rate of the 'happy ghost' is not to worry about yourself." Gu Weiqi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the big brother on the table and called Yan Qiudi, who was in charge of the "Tang Dynasty Fund", and asked her to acquire a few more theaters or shops suitable for conversion into theaters to expand the scale of the "Tang Dynasty Cinema Line".

As soon as I finished talking to Yan Qiudi on the phone, Weng Yuanling, Shen Yingrong, Gina Leon and Karen Blanca each walked in with a thick stack of papers. He has so many companies under his name, and he has a lot of documents to sign every day. Especially when he is not in the company when he is busy, there is even more backlog of documents together.

Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is physically strong and energetic, otherwise he would not be able to bear just checking and signing so many documents every day.

Karen Blanca, who came in last, put down the papers, glanced at Gu Weiqi and suddenly said, "Boss, I don't want to be your assistant anymore." ”

Gu Weiqi raised his head and asked curiously, "Why?" Isn't it good to be my assistant? ”

"It's not bad, it's mainly that I have to deal with all kinds of documents every day, which makes my head so big. And what I aspire to do the most is to make movies. ”

Shen Yingrong said: "Boss, I also want to make a movie." ”

Weng Yuanling and Gina Leon glanced at each other and said together: "Boss, we also want to make a movie." ”

Gu Weiqi looked at the four flower-like girls, and couldn't help but have two big heads, but after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, but making a movie is not as comfortable as sitting in the office and blowing the air conditioner, you have to think about it." Don't complain to me when the time comes. ”

The four of them were overjoyed and said: "Don't worry, boss, we have all thought about it, we just want to be an actor." ”

"In that case, I'll create a script for you." Gu Weiqi habitually rubbed his temples and asked, "What type of movie do you want to act?" ”

Shen Yingrong said: "I hope it's an action movie." ”

Gu Weiqi thought about it and said confidently: "If it's an action movie, I already have a draft now." ”

Weng Yuanling urged: "Tell me if it's exciting?" ”

"The stories I wrote, of course, weren't too bad."

Gu Weiqi straightened out his thoughts and said slowly: "The title of the play is 'Super Bodyguard'. This is a very typical modern urban action movie. It mainly tells the story of five skilled female bodyguards who are responsible for protecting a prince of the X royal family who came to visit Xiangjiang. At the beginning of the story, the prince was assassinated by three groups of people when he first arrived in Xiangjiang. So in order to protect the prince's safety, the prince's bodyguards started a desperate battle with the killers......"

I have to say that Gu Weiqi is indeed a genius who makes up stories, and the four beauties listen to it with relish in the future. The story can be said to be completely original to him. Considering the box office, a large number of gunfights and action scenes have been added, in addition to speeding car stunts and explosive elements, plus a few eye-catching beauties, as long as you shoot carefully, it should definitely not be too bad at the box office.

"What do you think?" When he finished, he asked with a smile.

Shen Yingrong nodded and said: "I think it's good, the story is tense and exciting, full of tension, and it will definitely be very interesting after it is filmed." ”

Weng Yuanling also agreed: "The story sounds pretty good. But what if I don't know how to do kung fu? ”

"I've thought about this for a long time, and in order to shoot this drama well, I decided to give you a one-month physical training session. I'm going to teach you some kung fu. But you have to be mentally prepared, learning kung fu is very hard. I think Ah Rong should know this deeply, right? ”

"Yes, when I was a child, my grandfather asked me to practice, and I got up early and greedy every day, but it was painful, and sometimes I fell asleep with my horse walking."

Shen Yingrong changed her words and said: "But after a long time, I slowly got used to it." Moreover, practicing martial arts all year round is not only beneficial to physical and mental health, but also can maintain the beauty of the body, which has many benefits. ”

"Oh, so you've been practicing for years?"

"I've been practicing since I was eight years old, and I'm 20 years old this year, so it's been almost 13 years."

"That's right, I'm worried that I don't have time to teach them. Now it's up to you to train them, so you can teach them some kung fu as you like. In short, I don't want to be able to fight, as long as I look good in front of the camera. ”

"Okay, boss, you've spoken, I have to do my best."

"That's the best, but you've left your post, and so many assistants on the working side (Ling Wei) can't be busy. You should go to the major headhunting companies immediately and help me recruit a few assistants, otherwise I will be in a mess here. It doesn't matter if you have a high level of education when it comes to who you're hiring, the most important thing is ...... Look at it to be eye-catching. You can see if it's specific. The annual salary starts at one million Hong Kong dollars, and there are generous bonuses for good performance. ”

The four beauties walked out, and Gu Weiqi immediately picked up the phone and called Huang Bingyao, the person in charge of the editorial department, and told him the general story of the "super bodyguard", and asked him to gather the screenwriters to process the story into a script for shots. The other party is originally an expert screenwriter, and with a rough story, it is not difficult to make a script. Naturally, you don't have to worry about the boss.

But as soon as he hung up the phone, suddenly Shen Yingrong turned back and told him that Lin Qingxia from Taibend came to look for him.

Gu Weiqi was suddenly overjoyed, saying that since he accidentally saved Lin Qingxia in Miguo, he has been looking forward to the other party joining the company. It's just a pity that although he told the other party his contact information, the other party didn't even call him. What made him most depressed was that he also silently helped the "Dark Horse International Film Production Company" shoot "The Descendants of the Martial Saint".

It's just that the other party is not an artist in her own company now, and it is also her freedom to help "Dark Horse International" make films, and she has no right to interfere. However, now that Lin Qingxia is here, I have to talk to her to see if I can fool this Lin Da beauty into the company. It just so happens that the "super bodyguard" still lacks a heroine.

Turning his thoughts, Gu Weiqi hurriedly asked Shen Yingrong to invite Lin Qingxia to the reception room, instructed her to serve the other party some coffee first, and not to be lazy, and then sorted out her appearance and appearance, and rushed over in stride.

Since Mi Guo and the beauty said goodbye in a hurry, the two of them haven't seen each other for two or three months. However, Lin Qingxia's demeanor is still the same, today she is wearing a loose red half-sleeved shirt, a black hip skirt on her lower body, a linen sunhat on her head, black silk jumpsuits on her slender legs, and a pair of bright white high heels on her feet. It's a very simple dress, but there is no makeup, completely natural and plain, but it still looks very charming.
