After the production of "Youth Musical" was completed, the special effects company was all nerds, and they didn't have the same experience at all, and they said it was a big bad movie after watching it once. Kenny Ortega has no experience, and when he sees so many people saying that it is a big bad movie, he thinks that he loves the house and Wu.

Since the special effects company said that it was a big bad movie, and knew that this movie was made by Fanny forced the boss, the distribution department didn't take it seriously and didn't follow up seriously. The theater chain also knew the whole story, but because of Sun Ziming's face and the appeal of the two, they privately agreed when the film started filming, and 100 theaters and 200 big screens would be arranged at that time. When the theater sent someone to urge the copy, the group in the distribution department remembered and hurriedly copied 200 copies and sent them over, without even reading it themselves.

"Brother Ming, this is my work mistake, and I ask for punishment."

Sun Ziming also had a gloomy face, Jiang Peng is responsible for this, but it is only the responsibility of leadership, such a big stall, more than 30 films have been released this year, and he has not taken care of one or two films as the general manager, which is understandable. The responsibility of the distribution department is greater, regardless of whether the crew is notified or not, they should take the initiative to care, otherwise what do you want their distribution department to do? And Douglas, Kenny is inexperienced and he's inexperienced too?

"How?"

"The personnel in the distribution department who are responsible for following up on "Youth Musical" will be fired; My winnings for this year are all deducted, and so is Douglas. ”

Sun Ziming shook his head, "The previous execution, your deduction is 1/6, Douglas is all deducted, and Jiadai's deduction is half." ”

Douglas and Yoshiyo Sato, who were standing next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect Jiang Peng to object: "Brother Ming, this is unfair to Douglas, he does the work of six people alone, and it is normal to be negligent at work." ”

"That's stupid! Is my official money for them to play with? ”

Jiang Peng didn't say anything, Douglas also hurriedly thanked him, the boss was right, he felt that he couldn't do it, and he could increase the number of people. The annual official expenses of 1.2 million US dollars / year of Universal Company are enough to help the boss with ten assistants.

"Alright, that's the end of it. Speaking of which, I have a responsibility too. Damn, I can't shoot three films next year, this job is really not done by people! Roc, how's the copy? ”

Jiang Peng dared to sit down and replied: "I'm rushing, a thousand the day after tomorrow, it is estimated that a thousand is enough." ”

It's really enough, but the three days have made the theaters crazy, because a large number of young people outside are waving green dollars. In the first three days, the attendance rate in the theater was 100%, and the box office was 168 every day. $120,000, which is still the result of increasing the screen and allowing copies to be screened non-stop. This kind of thing that looks at money but can't make money makes the theater company almost scold the people in the light and shadow distribution department to death!

Three days later, a thousand copies were shipped overnight to all parts of the country. On the fourth day, the single-day box office of "Youth Musical" suddenly increased from 168. $120,000, soaring to 872. $480,000, only ranked 901 in "The Outlaw". After 360,000, it became the second place in the Christmas box office list.

"This movie is beyond expectations, and I believe that many people would not have thought that it was so good before watching the movie! It has a magical power that allows young people to dance and sing to the fullest, unleashing their youthful energy to the fullest. - California Film Newspaper

"A novel school cabaret movie."

The style of the film is very original, including bright shots, simple but beautiful stories, and songs and dances that are integrated into the campus environment and life, all of which deserve attention. - Los Angeles Times

The unexpected popularity of "Youth Musical" made the media find out the reason for its success in the first place, but it still surprised everyone in Hollywood. China Ming did not seriously shoot "Song and Dance Youth" at all, which everyone knows. Even the post-production zuò was completed by his assistant director, so there was a matter of two people signing the director at the same time.

is such a game, with a single-day box office of $8.72 million, and an attendance rate of 96%! God, is he really your bastard?

After the big guys were amazed, their first reaction was that the song and dance film was going to flourish again! For a time, Broadway was bustling, and producers were waving checks and pouring into the theaters. Even Jiang Peng sandwiched the box office statistics table, and went to the Charm Record Company with Douglas to find Sun Ziming, who was sounding "Forrest Gump".

"42.6 million? , such a film can also exceed 100 million? ”

Sun Ziming looked at the box office statistics, a little crying and laughing, "Singing and Dancing Youth" is really an accident! Douglas knew that his boss didn't know about song and dance films, and even this one was a duck on the shelves, so he quickly explained: "Boss, 1977's "Grease" (Hot Prodigal Son) is a song and dance film, or the box office champion of the year, I remember that the box office exceeded 100 million." ”

, sixteen years ago, it was over 100 million, so how many people have to watch it? There are no big scenes in song and dance films, no wonder so many companies want to catch up with the filming!

Sun Ziming sighed for a while, but he still didn't want to wade into this troubled water, as if there had been no good song and dance films in the past few years.

"Don't be impulsive, send someone to the cinema to see, who is watching? I guess they're all students, or young people. ”

Douglas thought about it, and really helped children and young people, and Sun Ziming said: "Isn't this over?" are all students and young people who have just graduated, and the campus theme has "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", if anyone makes another film, the starring role does not have the appeal of Fanny, and it is estimated that the risk is relatively large. ”

Jiang Peng and the others are used to taking Sun Ziming's prediction as a golden rule, but the sequel will not let it go.

"Brother Ming, then you discuss with Fanny to see if you can make a sequel? For the other actors, UTN is on a contract, and only she is on the record company. ”

That's no problem, Sun Ziming's phone called, and Fanny agreed.

"Let Kenny Ortega be the director, collect campus stories in schools across the country, and find a few young screenwriters to refine and process them, and I won't be involved. I'm not sure about this type at all. ”

"Okay, I'll go first, you're busy."

As soon as Jiang Peng returned to the company, he immediately asked ESPN to announce the start of filming "Youth Musical" 2, soliciting campus stories from all over the country, which once again triggered a movie-watching boom among students.

When Sun Ziming finished 1/3 of the soundtrack of "Forrest Gump", Douglas reported: "Boss, "Youth Musical" had a box office of 28.1 million last week, and the total box office has reached 97.13 million. Theaters in Europe and Asia began to prepare for the introduction and prepared for release this summer. ”

Sun Ziming took a puff of cigarette and was happy for a while before he said, "Hehe, Doug, do you think our luck is too good?" Looks like we're only spending 2.8 million, right? ”

Douglas was also happy that the film did not pass the script review committee, it belonged to the investment of the boss's personal studio, and all the bonuses deducted by himself came back at once. It's the same with Kayo Sato, there are only five people in the studio, and he can share at least a million!

"Yes, we only spent 2.78 million! Boss, I estimated, including overseas box office, derivatives, VCD market, etc., this time our studio can earn at least 150 million. ”

"Okay, when the release is over, I'll give you the bonus. By the way, Kenny and Fanny are the two who are the biggest contributors. ”

After speaking, Sun Ziming added, "In addition, charter a montage hotel to hold a party, prepare an expensive small gift for the company's people, and our studio will pay for it." ”

Well, that's good, and the films made by other directors themselves will do well at the box office in the future, and it won't make them too embarrassed, after all, the boss is too rich.

"Yes, sir", Douglas agreed, and then took out the invitation.

"Boss, this is an invitation letter for the Golden Globe Awards, and the organizing committee hopes that you can be the guest of honor. In addition, Frank from the Film Academy sent someone to me privately, and he also wanted you to be the guest of honor, and he also wanted you to get back last year's trophy. ”

The three of them laughed knowingly, Sun Ziming didn't take the lead to get the trophy, which made the pressure on the film school too great, and now they have finally found a step.

Sun Ziming put on headphones, listened to "HoundDog" in "Forrest Gump", and thought for a while before ordering: "Sue Sù Frank, I want to award Best Film and Best Director, and Ah Fa will award Best Actor." ”

Douglas said, "I'll talk about it, they should make it up to us!" ”

"Well, Kayo, let them play 'HoundDog' on a pure guitar"

"Hi"
