Chapter 348: Company Meeting

"What is the weekly box office", Luo Yang didn't answer, and asked Fang Lin casually while flipping through the book.

"89.64 million, won the box office champion this week", Fang Lin heard Luo Yang ask, so he looked through the financial statements in his hand and read to Luo Yang the weekly box office of "Get My Father-in-law".

"That's not bad"! Luo Yang put down the book in his hand, took the report in Fang Lin's hand, and nodded while reading: "The difference between more than 10 million and 100 million is also a very good box office, after all, this is the first week, and the box office of this movie should be able to exceed 300 million, and the company's finances are also relatively tight during this time, just after this movie is painted, it can make up for the company's poor financial situation."

"It is estimated that it is not easy, Luo Yang, you forgot that from next week, there are several foreign blockbusters that will be officially released, and they will definitely seize part of our box office", Fang Lin said to Luo Yang a little worriedly.

"I know all of this, but the foreign blockbusters to be released next week are all action, different from our movie genre, and the audience is not the same, not to mention that even if we want to avoid these blockbusters, it is impossible, in this case, let the market test whether our Poplar's films can break a way under the impact of foreign blockbusters", Luo Yang knocked on the table with the pen in his hand and said firmly.

In today's Chinese market, most of the box office every year is taken into the arms of foreign blockbusters, and Poplar Films is committed to becoming the largest film company in China, so sooner or later it will be in close contact with these foreign blockbusters, so let the movie "Get My Father-in-law" test the water, and see how big the gap between Chinese films and foreign films is at the box office.

"Of course, we can't just let our movies collide with foreign blockbusters, Linlin, you call the management of other departments of the company, and we will have a meeting in the office", Luo Yang thought for a while and asked Fang Lin to call others to have a meeting.

"Well, I'll let them come over right away, by the way, there's one more thing, Raid's parents are coming, Luo Yang want Raid to help in our company", Fang Lin suddenly remembered this matter, so he asked Luo Yang.

"Let's go back and discuss this matter with the raid at night, and see where the raid is willing to go, how about going there", Luo Yang nodded, took Fang Lin's hand and said, although if Luo Yang wanted Tang Raid to go anywhere, Tang Raid would not refuse, but Luo Yang still wanted to ask Raid his opinion.

"That's not bad", hearing Luo Yang say this, Fang Lin nodded, and also felt that this was very good, so he put this matter down for the time being, and prepared to notify the other high-level executives of Poplar Film to come to the conference room for a meeting.

Fang Lin went out for a while, Luo Yang looked at the time, so he put down the book in his hand, took the notepad, and came to the company's conference room, at this time there were more than ten people sitting there in the conference room, this period of time Poplar Films has developed rapidly, especially the director team, through Zhao Yang's relationship, the current director of Poplar Company no longer wants to take the lead on Luo Yang and Zhao Yang at the beginning.

"Mr. Luo", when he saw Luo Yang coming in, everyone stood up and greeted Luo Yang, Luo Yang also smiled and nodded in return, and then sat above the conference table, nodded to everyone and said, "Everyone please take a seat, you're welcome."

After everyone sat down, Luo Yang opened the notepad in his hand, then glanced at everyone sitting below, and said with a smile: "Yes, our company seems to be developing better and better, there are many new colleagues, we will all work together in the future, everyone applaud and welcome them."

Under Luo Yang's leadership, Zhao Yang and Xu Hong all smiled and applauded, and several young directors who had just joined the company also nodded to everyone embarrassedly, thanking everyone for their welcome.

The applause lasted for a while, Luo Yang pressed his hand, asked everyone to stop first, and then continued: "Okay, the new colleagues are also welcome, and then we will get to the point, today's meeting will mainly talk about two things, after all, the company is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people, and the company's most important movie "Shijie Doom" is also being filmed, so I and Mr. Zhao can't spare much time next, so let's arrange the next work."

"The first thing is the "Get My Father-in-law" that is being released, here I want to tell you a good news, the weekly box office of this movie directed by Mr. Zhao has come out, 89.64 million, last week's box office champion, very good results", Luo Yang said to Zhao Yang with a smile.

Hearing Luo Yang's words, everyone immediately boiled, although compared with Luo Yang, the weekly box office of this "Get Father-in-law" is not much, but if you only look at the overall Chinese film industry, this box office is already a very high number, and everyone has every reason to expect that this movie will win more than 80 million box office in a week after its release, so how much box office will there be after it is completely drawn.

In everyone's applause, Zhao Yang was also a little excited, the box office of 80 million in the first week was a number he didn't expect, he originally thought that he would be very satisfied with 40 or 50 million a week, but he actually won 80 million, although this is because there is no strong enough opponent this week, but it is not so easy.

"Mr. Zhao, good job, after the movie is drawn, the company will give you a big red envelope", seeing Zhao Yang's excited appearance, Luo Yang also smiled and said to Zhao Yang.

"Then this red envelope must be big, you can't use any auspicious numbers to fool me", Zhao Yang also smiled and joked with Luo Yang, hearing Zhao Yang's words, the other people in the meeting laughed kindly.

"No problem, this is what you deserve Mr. Zhao", Luo Yang nodded with a smile, and then turned his head to everyone and said: "Okay, I also know that this good news makes everyone happy, but let's get down to business first, although the movie "Get Done with My Father-in-law" won more than 80 million box office this week, but everyone has to see that from next week, several foreign blockbusters will be released, such as "Deadly Run 2", "Crazy Racing" Although these blockbusters are all action, they are different from our urban light comedy genre, The users we face are also different, but it is certain that after the release of these foreign blockbusters, they will definitely seize most of the domestic box office, so it is really hard to say what our movies can achieve next."

Luo Yang's words made everyone nod, every year during the summer vacation, it is a time when foreign blockbusters are crazy and wreaking havoc, and Chinese films can only grab some residues from other people's mouths to eat, this is still the state that restricts the number of foreign blockbuster imports, otherwise the Chinese film market would have been collapsed by foreign films, this is an indisputable fact, thinking of this, everyone is also a little depressed, I don't know what kind of results this "Get Father-in-law" can achieve when these blockbusters are released.

"Why, everyone is so afraid that our movies will collide with others"? Luo Yang looked at everyone silently, and asked with a smile.

"It's definitely impossible to say that you're not worried", in this case, only Zhao Yang dared to answer Luo Yang's words.

"Actually, I'm a little worried if I don't hide it from everyone, but even if I'm worried, we can't avoid the fact that the schedule of "Get My Father-in-law" collides with these blockbusters, so I still want to say goodbye to these blockbusters and see if our domestic small-budget film can win or these foreign blockbusters will swallow us in one bite", Luo Yang knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and then said fiercely.

Luo Yang's words made the people below buzz to discuss, but most of them were not very optimistic that "Get Father-in-law" could defeat these foreign blockbusters, and it would be a great thing to grab a piece of the big cake from the summer file with these foreign blockbusters.

"Everyone, don't be so unconfident, although we used to compete with foreign blockbusters for the market in the summer file, always losing more and winning less, but everyone should see that it is someone else's movie, not a movie of our Poplar Film Company, this "Get My Father-in-law" itself has a very good plot, and it has also been affirmed by the media, and the audience is welcome, weishenme We can't fight, anyway, if we lose, that's right, if we win, then we will make a lot of money, this is also a good opportunity." Luo Yang said to everyone with a smile.

Hearing Luo Yang's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise, as if this is the reason, if you lose, there is no shame, but if you win, you will make a lot of money.

Seeing that everyone heard their words, they immediately raised their confidence, Luo Yang was in a very good mood, originally this time "Get Father-in-law" collided with these foreign blockbusters on the schedule, which made Luo Yang very unhappy, but it was inevitable, unless Poplar Films was willing to postpone the release schedule of this movie by a few months to January, and strive for the summer file, but if this is the case, Poplar Film Company will not only not be able to quickly recoup the funds, but the reputation will also suffer a lot.

And being released with these foreign blockbusters is not without any benefits, as Luo Yang said, competing with these foreign blockbusters for the box office, losing others think it is right, if you win, it will make a lot of money.

"Now everyone has confidence, of course, we are not unprepared, and then the company will increase the publicity of the movie "Get Father-in-law", Minister Xu Hong hopes that you will be responsible for this", Luo Yang nodded with a smile and said.

"I know Mr. Luo", hearing Luo Yang's words, Xu Hong nodded, indicating that he knew.

"This is the first thing, let's get here first, let's talk about the second thing, during this time, the company because of the filming of "Shijie Doomsday", the funds can be said to be relatively tight, after all, this is a big investment, although there is a rolling stone company to invest together, the company's pressure is not small, so the company is ready to do some time projects, quick results of the project, to supplement the company's funds", Luo Yang nodded, and talked about the second thing.

"What project"? Hearing Luo Yang's words, everyone was a little discussed, and Zhao Yang asked Luo Yang a little strangely.

"Filming TV series", Luo Yang smiled and looked at the new director who joined the company: "In the past, there were not many people in our company, and the directors were just me and Mr. Zhao, so many jihua couldn't be put on the agenda, although I had ideas about filming TV series, but I didn't take it out to say, but now it's different, the company has added several new directors, so I want to arrange for you to be in charge of this jihua"?

Hearing Luo Yang's words, the company's new director immediately became excited, I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the company, I would have the opportunity to direct, although it was only a TV series, it was also a rare opportunity, and by shooting TV series, I guess Luo will always have Jihua who shoots movies in the future, and he will also think of experienced people for the first time.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Luo Yang was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I'll first talk about the company's new TV series Jihua, everyone should know about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", right?

Several directors are not very old, and they all nodded, indicating that they knew about this stand-alone game that has been popular recently, and it is said that this game was developed by the boss's subordinate company.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game that has been very popular with players recently, presumably at this time, the TV series adapted from the game will be put on the screen, and it will definitely be welcomed by everyone, presumably after the release of this TV series, it will be able to return some funds for our company, as for the director of this movie", Luo Yang pondered for a while, and thought about the resumes of several new directors who joined the company: "Li Hai, you seem to have filmed TV series, do you have experience in this area?"

Hearing Luo Yang's question, the newly joined young director Li Hai was immediately very excited and hurriedly stood up, but he was a little embarrassed and said: "It's not correct to say that it's a TV series, I've just made a miniature series."

"This is already very good, so let's give this TV series to you to lead the director, and several other directors will assist you, learn a little experience through this TV series, you will discuss the script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" for the time being, and show me the script when the time comes, how about it, do you have confidence"? Luo Yang asked about the power and several young directors.

"Yes", several young directors are very excited, although they are not as lucky as Li Hai to lead the direction of this TV series, but they can also learn a lot from it, and Luo Yang's words, everyone can also hear it, this is Luo Yang's opportunity to give them an opportunity to accumulate experience, as long as this play is completed well, then there will definitely be a great chance in the future.

Luo Yang nodded, indeed this TV series is an opportunity for Luo Yang to give several directors to learn experience, after all, no matter how good they are learned in school, there is no practical use, Luo Yang also hopes that these directors can have the ability to take on the company's responsibilities as soon as possible, so that Luo Yang and Zhao Yang will not be tired every day, and the company can also diversify in the future, the TV series is filmed, it is not less than the money made by the movie, and it is impossible for Poplar Company to leave this piece.

"By the way, there is one more thing, the company's screenwriting team should also be prepared as soon as possible, this piece, Mr. Zhao, you will be responsible for it, see if you can dig up a little people in other places", Luo Yang had a headache when he thought of this matter, although Luo Yang had a lot of scripts in his head, but he only had so much time, and it was impossible to be entangled in the script every day, so the professional screenwriting team must be recruited, in this way, if Luo Yang has any new jihua in the future, he can give the screenwriter team a rough idea of the content of his script, These things can be handed over to them to be responsible, and this time the script of "Shijie Doomsday" can torture Luo Yang enough.

"Haode, I know", Zhao Yang nodded, indicating that he would catch this matter.

After Luo Yang said these things, he asked the company's senior management to report on the recent situation of the company, Xu Hong reported to Luo Yang the recent company's publicity plan and publicity expenses, Su Wei told Luo Yang about the formation of the brokerage company, this is the casting of "Shijie Doomsday" More than ten young people have been signed into the Poplar Company, and now the Poplar Company also has its own actors, Fang Lin told Luo Yang about the recent expenses of the Poplar Company, in general, Fang Lin is the most depressed, the company has a lot of expenses recently, except for " In addition to the funds needed for the filming of the crew of "Shijie Doomsday", the preparation of the personnel department, publicity expenses, these expenses are a lot, plus Luo Yang is going to establish a screenwriting team, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is also going to start filming, and the special effects company must also allocate a part of the money every quarter, so to speak, in the absence of a large income, Poplar Company can declare bankruptcy.

Luo Yang knew that the company had started to be bigger recently, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, so he had to ask Fang Lin not to worry, he would find a way to deal with this matter, if it really didn't work, he had to first draw some funds from Poplar Network for emergency, during this period of time, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was selling well, and there were still a lot of funds on Poplar Network's books, which could be used for emergencies, and then after the movie "Get My Father-in-law" was painted, there would be a sum of money coming in, which would make the operation of Poplar movies back to benign.

Since Luo Yang said that he would find a way, Fang Lin didn't say much, as Luo Yang's housekeeper, many times, Fang Lin silently helped Luo Yang support, and he didn't complain much, if someone else came to serve as the head of the finance department, it is estimated that he would not want to do it for a long time.

After Fang Lin spoke, everyone had nothing to do, and Luo Yang also announced the dismissal of the meeting, everyone was busy, but Xu Hong and Zhao Yang were left behind.

"Actually, I still have a little idea about the promotion of "Get My Father-in-law", so I'll tell you quietly here, just let the two of you know, don't take it out and say you know?" Seeing Zhao Yang and Xu Hong's puzzled looks, Luo Yang whispered to the two.

"Hmmm"! Zhao Yang and Xu Hong were a little curious, and after promising that they would not leak it, Luo Yang told the two of them a little idea about how to promote "Get Father-in-law", which made the two stunned for a moment.

"Luo Yang, originally I always thought you were a fair and honest person, but I didn't expect you to be too bad", stunned for a while, Zhao Yang couldn't help but stretch out his thumb to Luo Yang, Luo Yang's propaganda methods had to make him admire.

"Indeed, Mr. Luo, you are really bad", Xu Hong also sighed a little.

"I'm not here for the box office of this movie, the company is waiting for the revenue of this movie next, if the box office is occupied by foreign blockbusters, what should we do, it's not impossible to use a little technique appropriately, you think I want to", hearing the contempt of the two, Luo Yang was a little depressed: "That's why I asked you not to say it, quietly arrange this matter, it's okay to spend more money, and we must not expose us as the masterminds."

"Understood", Zhao Yang and Xu Hong glanced at each other, and both smiled and nodded to indicate that they knew.

"Okay, the matter here has finally been dealt with temporarily, and then when the teacher arrives, we will start to work on "Shijie Doomsday" with all our might, this movie is the biggest investment in our company, we can only win and not lose, otherwise Poplar will collapse", Luo Yang sighed, patted Zhao Yang on the shoulder and said.
