Chapter 088: 200 Million Blockbuster Plan
"Oh?? What is the plan? Tang Zongshi was interested, for Wang Shang's works, he had a feeling of brightness every time, and at this time, when he heard that there was a new plan, he couldn't help but have a strong urge to peep in his heart.
"I can't say it yet, but I can tell you in advance that the investment in this film will reach 200 million!!"
Hiss~~~
"Two hundred million!"
Tang Zongshi immediately took a breath of cool air.
"How dare you!! Could it be the same plan you did last time you formed the manga team? ”
Tang Zongshi has also heard of the comic group set up by Tianwang Studio, but he doesn't know what it is for.
Wang Shang smiled and said nothing, naturally it can't be "Transformers", and the current technology can't shoot that kind of awesome scene. If you insist on shooting, you will probably ruin it.
"Where did you get the money? 200 million!! ”
Wang Shang still didn't answer, because he didn't have so much money himself, but hoped that the big sales of "Those Years" would add various capital operations to attract people to invest, publicity and advertisers...... Various means.
According to Wang Shang's plan, 200 million yuan is definitely not a big problem, and 200 million yuan will not be spent all at once, but will be used up one after another for a year.
Yes, the film won't be finished until at least Christmas time 2003.
Thank you for this time and space that has produced the butterfly effect!!
It will be a miracle in the history of cinema!! Create a world-class film genre!!
At that time, as soon as his film plan is announced, it will definitely shock the whole of Huaxia, and it will definitely gather followers.
But now...... Let's put it down for now......
Let's wait for the screening of "Those Years". And at this time, he revealed his investment plan to Tang Zongshi, hoping to pull the giant Datang International on board.
Sometimes things that are too good are not something that Wang Shang can withstand alone, and he needs to pull people to resist and share together.
After chatting with Tang Zongshi about other interesting things, he left.
……
October 24th.
The battle between the distribution alliance and the theatrical alliance has finally progressed.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which manages the distribution and screening of the entire Huaxia film and television production, has finally released a document -- "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Coordinated Development of Film Production, Distribution, and Screening."
There are three main points, one is that the proportion of cinemas for the first round of screenings of films should not exceed 50% in principle.
The second point is that the annual real estate rent of the cinema chain shall not exceed 15% of the annual box office in principle.
The third point is that after the profits of production, distribution and screening are adjusted to a reasonable level, the right to operate advertising and screening in cinemas will gradually return to cinemas, and producers will no longer operate placement advertisements.
The three points are all aimed at the current focus of controversy between the two alliances, and to a certain extent, they also level the level of profit distribution between production, distribution and screening, and also implicitly conform to the film investment and return system of market rules.
As soon as this guidance came out, it was a conclusion for the debate between the distribution alliance and the theater alliance: "The proportion of the theater chain must be reduced!" ”
Although the written word is 'principle', the power that has been handed down from the top of the government is immense.
Naturally, the release alliance is celebrating with a lot of fanfare.
Lan Haimei, chairman of Blue Ocean Group, directly published a newspaper to celebrate: "This is good news, because this is gradually in line with international standards." As long as the profits recovered are high, I believe that many producers will invest more money and energy in production. ”
And the theater side is naturally like a mourner.
The chairman of Wanda Cinema Line spoke directly: "The cinema chain also has a lot of difficulties, don't look at the distribution ratio, but the profit is actually very low, because 15% of the box office revenue should be given to the developer of the theater, 1% to water and electricity, and 1% to the property ......."
In short, each has its own opinions, but it is clear that this guidance can be regarded as building a unified, open, competitive and orderly film market for Huaxia, which is conducive to promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the film industry.
After Wang Shang saw this guidance come out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Now it's up to the negotiations between the two alliances."
Just when Wang Shang was thinking about this, a phone call came: "Boss, 800,000 copies of the novel "Those Years" have been printed, do you still need to print it again?" ”
"800,000?" Wang Shang thought for a moment, and finally said, "Wait for now, but let the publishing house be ready at any time." ”
Wang Shang's choice of publishing is a large publishing house in China, and the book distribution channels are very perfect, whether it is a physical store or an online sales point, it is very widely distributed, and it has penetrated into all corners of the country.
In the evening of the same day, the official website of Tianwang Studio issued a notice: "In those years, the girl we chased together" novel book will be officially sold on October 27th! ”
"Simultaneous sales of physical bookstores and online bookstores!"
As soon as the news came out, the official website was instantly sensational!!
Countless fan groups are vying to spread the news through their own channels.
"What? The book "Those Years" goes on sale tomorrow? Deng Pinggong is the owner of the Dawang fan group with a scale of 1,000 people, and after receiving calls from other fan group managers, he immediately danced hand and foot.
Without saying a word, I immediately turned on the phone, logged in to QQ, and wanted to quickly announce this festive news among the thousands of fans of the king.
However, his movements have slowed down, and a fan has already spread the news to the group.
At this point, the whole group was already frying, and those conversations kept appearing as if they were swiping the screen.
"I see that inside that sales point, there seems to be a sales bookstore in Liyang, it seems to be on Changsheng Street, I will buy it tomorrow, is there anyone in a group?"
"I'm going too!! Shun me one!! ”
"Damn, you're super unlucky, you take a taxi by yourself!"
"I'm just on the way!"
"Organize a group to buy books, and set off on Zhenxing Road!! There are cars! ”
"It means a remote corner, or the express delivery is good......"
"It means that I want to go to work, and it's hard to ask for leave......"
Deng Pinggong looked at the active atmosphere in the group with a smile: "Who wants to help buy it?" I'll buy a few more copies, and I'll come and get them when the time comes! ”
"Me!"
"Me!"
The next day (October 27), Deng Pinggong got up at six o'clock in the morning, just after dawn. Brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, then drive straight to the bookstore.
The distance is very long, thirty kilometers.
I don't know if it's psychological reasons or what, he always feels that there are a lot of cars on the road today and the road is very long.
When he arrived at the bookstore, it was already eight o'clock.
At this time, the bookstore had not yet opened, but dozens of people had already gathered outside.
"Oh my God! Why so many people? They won't all come to buy "Those Years", right? Deng Pinggong was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
"What are you doing here, this grocery shopping aunt? Did you like this book too? And also...... That pancake uncle, you're fifty years old, why are you here? You're so naughty, does your son know? Deng Pinggong glanced over one by one, and was powerless to complain.
"Old Deng, are you so late?"
Deng Pinggong saw that he was a member of the group, and there were several ......
Soon the staff of the bookstore went to work, and as soon as the store door opened, dozens of people swarmed in.
"Waiter!! I want "Those Years"!! ”
"Me too!!"
"Me too!!"
Deng Pinggong was shocked to find that all these people came to buy "Those Years", from teenagers to fifties......
Egg hurts!!
After a while, everyone bought a few or dozens of copies, and no one bought only one......
The bookstore staff hurriedly dialed the boss's number: "Boss!! The 500 copies of "Those Years" that I bought yesterday were sold out!! ”
"What? Sold out? Isn't this just the door? The boss was dumbfounded.
"yes, it just opened the door, and it was sold!! Yes...... Now there are a few more who say they want to buy dozens of copies!! ”
Boss: "......"
……
The sales of the novel "Those Years" were unexpectedly hot!!
And Wang Shang is also sitting in the office, waiting for the arrival of sales data.
At noon, General Manager Bi Han took a report and reported to Wang Shang with a festive face: "Wang Dong!! The publishing house said that the general distributors in various provinces and cities had called one after another to say that the books had been sold out early, and asked for a new batch to be brought in quickly. And the goods in the online store have been sold out at this time, and they are constantly calling to urge the goods! ”
"How much is sold in total?"
"According to the statistics of the publishing house, 100,000 copies were sold this morning!!" When Bi Han saw this data, he couldn't help but feel excited. In the past few years, he has rarely seen such a hot sale of books.
"Good!!"
"Immediately ask the publisher to print another 200,000 copies, making up 1 million. The existing 700,000 copies will be put into 200,000 copies first! ”
"Also, contact the reporter immediately and make the news public!"
"This can definitely inject a dose of strength into the movie!" Wang Shang said excitedly.
