"Director Li, in the next two or three days, I may have to ask for leave!"

In the crew, Menjie said to director Li Case with a slightly apologetic look on his face.

For more than two months, no one in the entire crew asked for leave at all, although in recent years, it has become a common thing for Menjie to ask for leave during filming, but it will still be a little embarrassing.

"Leave?"

Listening to Menjie's words, director Li Case was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

This kind of thing can happen in anyone's crew, even the more big-name directors of the film.

After all, most of the actors in the film crews of big-name directors are also big-name, and in addition to shooting movies, it is inevitable that they will attend some events.

It is very good that Menjie has not taken any leave for more than two months.

And these days are really very important for Menjie.

"Are you going to promote the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence"? But then again, that TV series is really good, my wife has been watching it every day recently, and I heard that the ratings are also good? Ha Luha, maybe in a few years it will really be like what you said, in addition to seeking girls and star girls, there will be one more Jie girl in Huaxia! ”

A week ago, the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence", which was invested and filmed by Celebrity Film and Television Company, was officially broadcast, and as soon as it was broadcast, it won 26% of the ratings in South Korea and 5.21% in China, which is definitely a hit.

As long as the ratings don't drop, and there are some small increases, it can be called the work of the year.

A lot of people think so, but in fact......

Since the second episode of the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence", the ratings have not decreased, or have increased slightly. Instead, there was a relatively large improvement directly.

It's only been a short eight days, and the TV series has only aired six episodes, but the ratings are quite not simple, the highest ratings in South Korea have even reached 33%, and the average ratings are infinitely moving closer to 30%, and the highest ratings in Huaxia seem to have broken through the figure of 6%, reaching a height of 6.52%.

The upward trend is very obvious, and this is not the limit of the TV series "Nineteen-year-old Innocence", and the ratings are still rising with the broadcast of the TV series.

I want to come in Menjie. I'm afraid that only the highest ratings exceeding 40% and Huaxia ratings exceeding 7% are the next challenge, and it is a challenge with a huge probability, but in addition, there is really no big suspense.

And with the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Rumored Seven Princesses" produced by celebrity film and television companies, they became popular, and with such a contract of "the higher the ratings, the more you earn". But South Korea's KBS TV station suffered a big loss.

Although at the beginning, I also felt that the popularity of "The Rumored Seven Princesses" was just an accident. feels that "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" may not be equally popular. But South Korea's KBS TV station also doesn't want to give Menjie another chance to exploit loopholes.

Like Mango TV in Huaxia, the contract given by South Korea's KBS TV station for the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" is also paid according to specific ratings.

Although the ratings of the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" are not as good as those of "The Rumored Seven Princesses", it is important to know that the number of episodes of the former is more than double that of the latter, and the production cost is also quite small.

So in terms of total revenue. The TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" is definitely the most profitable TV series, and it can definitely make celebrity film and television companies make a lot of money!

Naturally, when director Li wanted to come, Menjie wanted to take a two-day vacation. is to go to China or South Korea to promote the TV series "Nineteen-year-old Innocence", hoping that this TV series can get better results.

Even after hearing the conversation between director Li Case and Menjie, Tang Wei, Chen Pet, Wang Lihong and others also came over and congratulated Menjie one after another, and their words were full of envy.

Isn't it because Menjie can be valued by countless actors in China because his vision for selecting works is too accurate?

Before the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" was broadcast, there were many people waiting for the results of this TV series to be announced.

There are even many people who are not used to watching Menjie's rise too fast, and they are looking forward to the scene where the ratings of this TV series are insufficient and are withdrawn.

However, Menjie proved with facts how magical his vision is, and how popular the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" is!

The TV series "Wulin Gaiden", which has outrageously high ratings, once brought more than 260 million soft girl coins to Menjie, and although the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" is slightly inferior in ratings, it is quite valued overseas, and it is broadcast simultaneously on KBS TV in South Korea, and it is conservatively estimated that it can earn 300 million soft girl coins!

Although the overall performance of the most popular TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" is inferior to "The Rumored Seven Princesses", if you count the terrifying 167 episodes, the income should be the same as the latter, and it is conservatively estimated that it will be more than 300 million.

Even the two TV series added together will probably make the celebrity film and television company earn about 700 million soft girl coins, which is definitely a pretty terrifying number.

Just selected a few scripts, and then handed over the specific shooting work to the person in charge of the company, so that Menjie earned 700 million soft girl coins in a year, how terrifying is this number?

In the 2006 Forbes Huaxia Celebrity List, the income was second only to the sports superstar Yao Ming and the third place in the women's 12th orchestra Gong Li, and the annual income was only 38 million soft girl coins, and she needed to maintain this performance for more than ten or nearly twenty years before she could earn the 700 million soft girl coins that Menjie pointed out casually.

Profit is supreme, and horror is like this!

Although the participation of wealthy people such as Menjie and Zhou Xingchi in entertainment activities is more for other reasons than money, for most celebrities, engaging in the entertainment industry is mainly to become famous and make money, and things like banknotes are still very important. It is also a sign to measure the success of a star.

"Director Li, you misunderstood!"

Seeing that several people misunderstood the reason for their leave, Menjie couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The results of the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" are indeed very good, and it is indeed the script I chose, but the publicity work of this TV series is ...... It has nothing to do with me! I'm just a producer, not a screenwriter, not a director, not an actor! ”

Shrugged his shoulders slightly, Men Jie continued, "The producer of the movie "Jingwu Family" that I participated in before is still Brother Fang Chenglong, and I haven't seen him come out to promote that movie, so I promoted it or something. It's okay to hand it over to the crew of the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence", I don't need to go over to mix! ”

"Then what are you going to do when you take a leave of absence?"

This time, it was the turn of Li Case and the others to be puzzled.

Recently, Menjie seems to have no other work except for being busy with the TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence".

Could it be a business thing? After all, a wealthy man with a billion-dollar soft girl coin industry should also be very busy, right?

"It's 'Spartan 300' that's going to be officially released in North America, although I didn't use it much in the past. But after all, it's my first 'blockbuster', so I'm going to go over to the premiere! ”

A few people seemed to have forgotten something. Menjie explained rather awkwardly.

""Spartan 300 Warriors" will be released tomorrow?"

This time, it was the turn of director Li to be embarrassed and surprised.

Some time ago he heard a friend from Warner Bros. mention it. even promised the other party that he would attend the premiere of the movie, but he didn't expect it to be today, and it was really embarrassing.

"I remember that "Spartan 300 Warriors" was not completed for a long time, why was it released so quickly?"

"It's true that it didn't take long, but it was said that the post-production was relatively fast, so it was finally decided to release it tomorrow. I hope to have a good result! ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Menjie said with a very relaxed look.

Mainly through the Tianwang system, he learned what kind of horror box office this movie could finally sweep in the whole world, and Menjie naturally didn't worry too much in his heart.

And in this movie, he is not the leading actor. It's just barely the second male lead, and the impact on the box office of the movie should not be too great, so naturally there is not much pressure.

However, there is not much pressure on the total box office of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", but for another aspect of the movie, Menjie is very worried.

"Okay, I've approved your vacation, your scene will be filmed after a while, I'll pack up my things and rush over, don't be late, it is estimated that there will be a lot of high-level attendance at the premiere of this movie, Warner Brothers!"

Nodding slightly, director Li Xian hesitated slightly, then turned his head to the assistant next to him and said, "How is the filming progress now?" If I say that the crew as a whole has a day off, it shouldn't have much impact, right? ”

"There is no impact, the progress of our shooting was relatively fast before, and we will not be in a hurry!"

After getting the reply from the assistant next to him, Li Case nodded and said, "In that case, then let's take a day off tomorrow, I also have to take time to rush to North America to attend the premiere of "Spartan 300 Warriors", Menjie, let's see you there then!" ”

The Li case is also going to participate?

was stunned for a moment, and then Men Jie was also stunned.

After all, he is an international director, and he once directed the American hero series of movies "Hulk Hulk", if you say that the Li case has nothing to do with Menjie, he will not believe what Menjie says.

For the sake of a friend's face, attending the premiere of a movie in the past can be regarded as a normal situation.

"Since Director Li is also going...... Tang Wei, Sister Chen and Wang Lihong, do you want to go over to attend the premiere of the movie? I can assure you that this movie will not disappoint you! ”

felt that the actor and the director were gone anyway, and it was not bad for the heroine, the second male and the second female, so Menjie immediately sent out an invitation.

Then Wang Lihong hesitated slightly, as if he felt that there was nothing to do in the next few days, so he agreed, as for Chen Pet and Tang Wei......

One is because her husband is not busy yet, and the other is said to have officially broken up with her boyfriend a few days ago, and there is nothing to do, so they all agreed, and they will go to North America with director Li Case after completing today's filming work, and Menjie is going to set off now.

"In that case...... We'll see you again in the United States. Then I'll go first! ”

After chatting a few words with director Li Case and others, Menjie waved his hand, greeted his agent Zhao Quan, who was not far away, and quickly rushed to the magic capital airport.

Because all the reporters and fans thought that Menjie was still filming the movie "Lust and Caution" in the crew, and they didn't know about Menjie's itinerary today, there was no trouble along the way, and he boarded the extension smoothly.

"Menjie, it's all done!"

Just a few minutes before boarding the extension, Menjie's agent Zhao Quan was still fiddling with his laptop and getting on the plane. A smile flashed on his face, and he said to the doorman on the side with a 'relieved' look.

"What's done?"

Slightly stunned, Menjie was a little puzzled.

Seeing this, Zhao Quan didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the laptop in his hand to Menjie. First, he looked at the information recorded in the notebook in a bit of a daze, and then. Menjie's face instantly exploded with ecstasy.

The movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" is final. It can be officially released in China!

The original movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" was not released in China again because it was too bloody and violent, but Menjie gritted his teeth fiercely and gave Wan Tongtong an instruction.

Even if you don't make a penny, you have to come up with a large investment and invite the actors of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors". And hired a special effects company to remove those bloody and violent scenes, and reshoot a short plot to fill in.

At least do it, after cutting out the bloody exposed scenes. It doesn't feel jerky and missing something.

Smoothness is the most important thing for a movie.

Then, after a few months, the celebrity film and television company finally completed the work at a great cost.

The price paid by the celebrity film and television company is not a lot, and the investment is enough to shoot a TV series, and after that, in order to make the new version of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" officially released in China, the company also deliberately took out a 'public relations fee', and after several months of hard work, it finally ......

Not long ago, Wan Tongtong conveyed the news to Menjie that the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" can be released in China.

Then, the celebrity film and television company mobilized all its energy and began to look for theaters for the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors".

If it is a movie independently invested and shot by a celebrity film and television company, maybe even if the movie is officially released in the end, it may not be able to get much theater support, and it may even be unable to be released.

You don't see, countless film and television companies in China have tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of film and television works shot in a year.

may be able to be released safely in the end, but very few, not that everyone can play in the film industry, and even some top companies in TV dramas, the movies shot if they want to get involved in the film industry may not be released safely.

If a celebrity film and television company rashly invests in shooting a movie, no matter how large the investment in the film is, it may not be officially released in the end, and even if it is released, I am afraid that the number of theaters arranged will be pitiful, and the cost will not be recovered at all.

If a movie wants to be popular, quality alone is not enough, and some external conditions are equally important.

And now, it's an opportunity for celebrity film and television companies!

After all, the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" is a Hollywood blockbuster, with a top company in the world, a top production team in the world, and a huge investment in the world......

and so on, all of which are guarantees of the quality of this film.

Coupled with Warner Bros.'s recent unsparing publicity, many theater owners feel that the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" will definitely be able to make money.

These theater owners were still a little depressed before, they had already heard that this movie could not be released in China because of the excessive bloody and violent content in it, and the cost of modifying the movie was too huge, and Warner Bros. would not do this.

But who would have thought that the celebrity film and television company would directly take out the new version of "Spartan 300 Warriors" and invest a lot of money, just to let this movie be released in China!

The purpose is also very simple, just to rely on this movie, so that celebrity film and television companies gradually have the ability to produce and distribute films!

And in order to make more money while achieving this goal, the celebrity film and television company also provoked Huaxia Film Group.

If the final results of this film can be very good, counting the qualification ability to develop film production and distribution, and winning the multiple interests of Huaxia Film Group combined, it can barely return to its original cost, although it still can't make money, but it won't lose.

And for the future, there are also huge benefits.

Such a good opportunity is not something that everyone has and can seize, and it is impossible to open up this situation without relationships and funds.

And now, for celebrity film and television companies, it is definitely a crucial moment.

It is a move to allow celebrity film and television companies that have already gained a firm foothold in the TV drama circle to once again expand their production and distribution capabilities in films!

If it can be successful, after a period of time, KBS TV and Mango TV will pay the premiere fee of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" to themselves, and they can throw a lot of money and start throwing money to form a new team.

At that time, celebrity film and television companies will usher in a new era of vigorous development! (To be continued......)
