Chapter 133: Box Office Champion, Yu Dong Joins!

On November 15, 1999, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" was drawn with a box office of 48.36 million, although it did not break the 50 million box office mark, but it was also a figure that excited and surprised the industry.

Because, among the movies released this year, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" is actually the champion!

Yes, that's right, a real box office champion, not just a domestic movie box office champion!

Because, in 98, Hollywood movies were invincible in the Chinese film market, especially "Titanic", which was even more killing, and the domestic film industry was completely on its knees.

Therefore, it alarmed the top government officials in China, believing that this was a cultural invasion of China by the United States with a political purpose. And in order to fight against cultural invasion, we can only start from the cultural aspect, that is, to make domestic commercial blockbusters!

Therefore, in 99 years, domestic cinemas, in order to "be correct", did not introduce Hollywood movies for more than half a year, and vigorously supported domestic blockbusters!

Even though the negotiations with the case TO later continued to introduce many Hollywood films, the publicity and theater screenings were very small.

Due to the promotion and theatrical support, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", which has the highest box office among imported films this year, is only 330,000 yuan, which is really weak compared with the box office of Hollywood imported films in previous years!

Disney's animated blockbuster "Mulan", during the summer vacation, was beaten by the domestic animated blockbuster "Baolian Lantern" in the same period!

And the price paid for suppressing Hollywood blockbusters is that the domestic film box office plummeted to 800 million yuan in 99! Relative to 98 years. The box office size has dropped by a third!

This series of actions all shows that it is correct to support domestic films and make domestic films hit a new high at the box office. Whoever can make a high-grossing movie is to win glory for the country and contribute to the cultural invasion of Hollywood, and will be supported by domestic policies!

As for the award-winning films, the current domestic political and high-level officials have looked down on it! How can the influence of award-winning films be compared with commercial films?

Only commercial films have a broader mass influence! in order to engage in cultural invasion and resist cultural invasion; Award-winning moviegoers weren't that buying. Nor can it bear the burden of resisting the invasion of Hollywood culture!

"Twenty-one-year-old dark horse director Wang Qinian. The second movie staged a miracle again - "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" had a box office of 48.36 million, which became dazzling and became the box office champion this year! ”

"The front waves of the Yangtze River push back the waves, and a new generation is better than the old! The box office of Zhang Yimou's two movies combined is inferior to Wang Qinian's "Great Sage Chapter"! ”

"The box office of the Hollywood blockbuster "The Night of Star Wars" is far inferior to the domestic film "Journey to the West: The Great Sage". The commanding heights of this year's box office champion. It was recaptured by domestic films again! ”

"The media broke the news. "The Great Sage Chapter" is full of scenes of monsters eating people, and some viewers feel a huge mental stimulation! ”

"It is reported that the success of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" is very large. Thanks to the application of CG special effects technology. The hero behind the film, a senior special effects artist of Hong Kong Ima Special Effects Studio, said that in order to start the studio's reputation, he made special effects for "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" cheaply. ”

After this series of news was exposed, it seems that the most beneficiary is not the partner company, but the Imagi studio in Hong Kong. It is reported that after the box office success of "The Great Sage", Yima Studio ushered in a bunch of film and television companies to send people to investigate, and it is estimated that Yima's exhibition will soon enter a blowout state.

Of course, this is the owner of the Yima studio, don't make the mistake of being rich and willful.

If Boss Zhu, who is an Italian horse, is full of self-confidence and starts to want to make animated movies, the gods can't save it, and no matter how big the family is, it may be lost!

……

On November 15, 1999, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" was successfully drawn, and Wang Qinian held a celebration party with many partners in the hotel!

Later, Wang Qinian and Yu Dong, who had just resigned, returned to the small partner company.

That's right!

After Yu Dong resigned from China Film Group, he naturally joined the Little Partner Culture Company as the general manager of the Little Partner Culture Company.

The remuneration given to Yu Dong by the partner company is an annual salary of 2o yuan, plus the equity incentive of one-thousandth of the small partner culture company every year. Theoretically, the longer Yu Dong works in a partner company, the more he can enjoy the rewards brought by the company's growth!

For example, the current one-thousandth of the annual equity may not be higher than the annual salary of Yu Dong!

However, if the small partner company maintains the current growth trend, in a few years, Yu Dong is estimated that he will not care about how much annual salary he receives - the value of holding equity, so that the annual salary is similar to pocket money!

In fact, in terms of investment and industry in film and television, there may not be anyone in the company who is more expert than Yu Dong. After all, Yu Dong has been working in the Beijing Film Studio department, the predecessor of China Film Group, for many years.

Of course, there is more to the partner company than just film investment.

For example, the "Rose Girl" comic in the publishing department also surprised Yu Dong, a small comic book with low investment cost, but it can continue to contribute profits to the company.

In addition, the Westward Journey Division proposed by Wang Qinian regards the cultural investment related to Westward Journey as a whole, which also makes Yu Dong refreshed.

Yes!

"Journey to the West" can not only make a "Great Sage" movie, but also a TV series.

You can do publishing, you can make games, and even, if you have money in the future, building a Journey to the West film and television base and tourist attractions is also an exhibition direction.

I heard about Wang Qinian's strategic deployment.

Yu Dong said with a smile: "I really want to implement the Journey to the West Division as a strategy." If it succeeds, it is equivalent to creating a Chinese version of Disney! ”

"Well, that's what I thought!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, ""Journey to the West" has become a theme park, which is definitely not inferior to the Disney project. Based on "Journey to the West", other brands can be added in the future. For example, we can try to join forces with other domestic companies, and various traditional Chinese legends and stories such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Baolian Lantern", "Gourd Baby", "Magic Brush Ma Liang" and so on can be integrated! In the future, our goal is not inferior to Disney! ”

Of course, those plans will only be made in the future when the company is large, has a lot of money and resources. Now don't talk about partner companies, even groups like China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, which may not be able to implement such a big strategy!

"I'm really looking forward to this day, it can come soon!" Yu Dong felt that he was full of entrepreneurial spirit.

In the past, large enterprises, the company had employees with and without staff, tens of thousands. In such a huge company, everyone is a screw, whether it is a genius or a mediocre talent, in a large group of people, there is not much difference.

And the little partner company entrusted his ideals to him. The future of the company can be decided by him. This made him feel - blood boiling, similar to starting his own business!

"That's it!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "Now the company's stall is relatively small, in terms of film investment, you don't need to ask me for films within 1oo0,000 yuan, you can invest if you are optimistic!" Of course, the company must hold a board meeting for the blockbuster! In the future, the company will be bigger, and it can give you greater authority! ”

Yu Dong nodded and said, "It is appropriate to be cautious!" ”

In fact, Yu Dong is now running to start a business by himself, not to mention investing 1oo yuan in films, even 5o yuan can't be made, at most he can only invest two or three hundred thousand yuan in films!

Two or three hundred thousand films, want to be small and big. If you succeed, you can naturally earn the first pot of gold, but if you fail, you will have nothing and be in debt!

Because, not all small-budget movies can be big with a small one. A lot of it is garbage at all, and it doesn't even have a chance to be released, and it has been promoted to create a zĂ o miracle.

Wang Qinian's authorization to invest in small-budget films for Yu Dong is to test Yu Dong's eyesight! Now underestimated talents and scripts, with extremely low prices, make money by shooting films!

If you see the script and people, then it is difficult to lose money on a small-cost film!

And if Yu Dong can prove his ability, the partner company will give him more support and power! How much ability and how much power to shoulder, this is Wang Qinian's principle of employing people! (To be continued!)
