Chapter 539: Five Ingredients Red
In the next two days, Du Xinghe really wanted to spare half a day and a day to go to Fugang and give Fang Yajun a prison shed. But it's a pity that he has not found time for trivial matters.
Unlike the last plane to go out of a country to apply for a visa first, there are very few visa-free countries, this plane of the Chinese Empire, except for the United States, Britain and a few other countries that firmly oppose the rise of China, other countries are almost visa-free or visa-on-arrival for China, especially Asian countries, including Xiaoni-Ben, are like China's back garden, Chinese go to these countries can be described as unimpeded, as long as you have a passport, you can go if you want to, you can go if you want, and you will not be restricted at all.
It was very fast to get from Fuwan to Fukuoka, and there were many flights, but Du Xinghe just couldn't make room for the schedule.
In the past two days, Xingyue Publishing House and Xingyue Media have been planning to publish "Xun Qin Ji" and distribute the small CD of "Ordinary Road", and Du Xinghe must personally participate in these meetings and provide advice.
In any field, such as the film industry, the music industry, the sports industry, including the publishing industry, the birth and continuous shine of a star, the team behind it has played a huge role, even a key role, in order to make Du Xinghe a future star in the publishing industry, this time Xingyue Media has equipped Du Xinghe with a planning and promotion team of more than 20 people, and the people in this team are all elites.
Du Xinghe also sent relevant personnel from Cloud World Publishing House to study with him to learn from Xingyue's packaging promotion experience. After all, Xingyue is a foreign family, and the cloud world is his own family, and it is impossible for him to rely on outsiders for his development in the future and truly cultivate their own team. That's the way to go. Therefore, Du Xinghe cooperated very much with Xingyue's propaganda team this time, and humbly asked for advice from others from the beginning of his leadership, so as to convey a positive energy of learning to his subordinates.
In addition to participating in the top priority of Xingyue's publication of "Xun Qin Ji", Du Xinghe has also held several mobilization meetings within the cloud world in the past two days, and wants to use the company's strength in the upcoming release of Yiyan's new album "Flower Heart".
He stressed many times at the meeting that "Flower Heart" will be the most important album in the first half of this year in Cloud World, although Cloud World and Hongyan have jointly released the blockbuster "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", but "Flower Heart", in his expectations, must surpass "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" to create a new miracle! He hopes that everyone will work together to become miracle makers!
I often hear Du Xinghe say that "Flower Heart" is the most important album in the first half of the cloud world. Its important process can be compared with Fang Yajun's new album in the second half of the year. Yiyan was moved from the bottom of his heart, and he also swore to himself in his heart that he must work hard to help the cloud world. also help him fight this tough battle on his own. Even if you die. He's going to die on the battlefield too!
Under the encouragement and drive of Du Xinghe, the staff of the whole company are full of energy and ready to start the battle of "Flower Heart".
……
Wednesday, April 21. Two days before the release of Ihiko's new album.
At half past seven in the evening, Fuwan Music Channel's "Chinese Pop Song Chart" opened on time. Du Xinghe listened to the host's announcement while driving in the car.
There was no big accident, "Flower Heart" has become more and more popular with its excellent strength and the unsparing publicity of national entertainment during this time, and this time "Flower Heart" is still firmly in second place, posing a strong threat to the first place "Lemon-tree".
For various reasons, "Lemon-tree" has been ripped off advertising, Chen Huilun has been hidden, and its market weakening will be irreparable, Du Xinghe expects that after the release of Yiyan's "Flower Heart" on Friday, the top spot of next week's "Chinese Song List" will change hands.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I do. ”
Xu Nuo, who was sitting in the car, asked Du Xinghe after listening to the unveiling of the "Chinese Song List".
At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Du Xinghe was driving towards the Dongjia Garden Community to send Xu Nuo home.
Xu's mother has been on a business trip for almost a week, and in the past three days, Xu Nuo has stayed overnight in the bedroom of Du Xinghe's office, because there is no underwear that can be changed, she had to go home to get underwear this night, originally she wanted to take the underwear and then go back to Du Xinghe's office to sleep, and she didn't want to sleep at home alone.
Because Du Xinghe promised Xu Nuo's mother that he would never make a taboo and sleep with Xu Nuo in her **, so since then, Du Xinghe has never slept at Xu Nuo's house, and now it is the same, before Xu Nuo helps him unblock, he will definitely abide by his promise and no longer stay at Xu Nuo's house.
Xu Nuo doesn't want to sleep at home alone now. Although Du Xinghe's newly renovated office is not as comfortable as her home, because the bed is big and the mattress is also her choice, it is comfortable to sleep on, much more comfortable than Du Xinghe's apartment in Canghai District, so she now prefers to sleep with Du Xinghe in Du Xinghe's office.
Although it has only been a few days, the two have already stolen experience in the office, Xu Nuo usually goes home first, or spends time practicing songs in the company, and when the employees are off work, around ten o'clock, she will go to Du Xinghe's office to stay overnight. In the morning, because he had to practice his voice, Du Xinghe got up very early, and Xu Nuo couldn't get up so early, but generally Du Xinghe finished practicing his voice, after six o'clock, after bringing back breakfast to Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo could get up. After the two of them had a meal, Du Xinghe drove Xu Nuo home.
Xu Nuo originally wanted to do the same that night, go home first, and then go back to the company with Du Xinghe after ten o'clock, but Du Xinghe felt that Xu Nuo was too tired like this, because there was a commercial performance of Guanghui Department Store in South China tomorrow morning, and Xu Nuo's endorsement of Guanghui Department Store had signed that she needed to participate, so she had to set off from Fuwan very early. If Xu Nuo wants to live in the company, then he will have to get up and run home at five o'clock tomorrow morning, which is too tiring.
Du Xinghe persuaded Xu Nuo to sleep well at home tonight, in order to let Xu Nuo sleep soundly, he also stayed overnight at Xu Nuo's house, but he didn't sleep, he slept a lot this evening, and now he is not tired at all, he decided to stay up late tonight in Xu Nuo's living room to catch up with the progress of the novel.
"Xun Qin Ji" will be published in May, and then Jin Daxia's martial arts fourteen will be listed on the agenda of Cloud World Publishing House. Stay up late tonight, and he'll rush to work on these novels.
Xu Nuo heard Du Xinghe say that he would also stay overnight, so he was sweet, and he had to cook for Du Xinghe in person at night, Du Xinghe's office suite was not equipped with a kitchen table, so he couldn't cook by himself, and they always ate takeout recently, Xu Nuo decided to cook by himself tonight.
When Du Xinghe heard that Xu Nuo asked him what to eat, she was going to do it, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "What else to do." It's so late. Let's order takeout. ”
"There's no delicious takeout near my house, so let's make it ourselves." Tonga Garden is a relatively private high-end residential area, there are not too many restaurants near the community, and takeaway can only be called similar to the previous plane "KFC", "Pizza Hut" and "real kung fu" mass takeaway. Xu Nuo's own cooking is much more delicious than those. knew that Du Xinghe would stay up late to work tonight. So she really wants to cook for her lover to fill her stomach and fill her fighting spirit.
Du Xinghe felt that he was too troublesome and didn't want Xu Nuo to work too hard. After all, Xu Nuo has to go far tomorrow, so he said: "Don't do it yourself, it's past eight o'clock, you have to go grocery shopping first, what time will it be when it's done?" ”
Xu Nuo said sweetly: "I should have vegetables and meat at home, just do it directly, it's not troublesome." ”
Seeing Xu Nuo so insistent, Du Xinghe smiled and said: "That's okay, I'll eat whatever you do, and I love to eat whatever you do." ”
Although she is already very familiar with Du Xinghe, and she has heard Du Xinghe say a lot of sweet words, every time she listens to Du Xinghe's words that she spoils her, Xu Nuo is still very sweet.
Soon the two of them arrived at Tonga Garden, and Du Xinghe drove the car directly to the underground parking lot of Xu Nuo's house, and then went upstairs with Xu Nuo generously.
For this kind of private community, the paparazzi generally can't enter the underground parking lot, so they don't have to worry about being secretly photographed.
However, for safety reasons, Xu Nuo habitually put on a big mask and big sunglasses after getting out of the car, making it impossible to identify her appearance.
Now basically when she goes out in private, she will bring this kind of special "two treasures" for big stars, which is not pretending to be a tune, but a responsible attitude towards the company.
Aside from the deliberate hype, no entertainment company wants its own artists, especially well-known ones, to be photographed in their private lives that are not so photogenic.
And most entertainment companies don't like top stars to contact the public in private, so as not to affect their high-profile image. Therefore, entertainment companies will make requirements for such stars, so that they can cover themselves a little when they go out.
After returning home, Xu Nuo didn't care about bathing and resting, and went directly to cook dinner for Du Xinghe.
Although Du Xinghe is a jack of all trades, he is very good at everything, but he is really powerless about cooking, he does not have any positive effect when he enters the kitchen, except for making trouble for Xu Nuo, so he simply does not go to the kitchen to make trouble for Xu Nuo, he sits on the sofa in the living room, turns on the TV and watches entertainment news for a while. As an industry insider, he has to pay attention to some developments in the circle at all times.
"Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......"
When I was watching the news that a rookie star was reported to have ruined his future by drug abuse, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang.
Du Xinghe picked up his mobile phone to see that it was Lin Jianguo's call.
After turning down the sound of the TV with the remote control, Du Xinghe got up and called to the kitchen: "Uncle Lin has called me, I'll go to the balcony to pick it up." ”
"Okay." Xu Nuo was cooking one of Du Xinghe's favorite northern dishes, fried mutton with green onions, and after Du Xinghe, she put the mutton in the pot, and the sound of fried mutton burst out with "stinging", and at the same time, a fragrance mixed with qi sprayed out, Xu Nuo smelled it, and felt that this mutton was good, Du Xinghe must like it. With a sweet smile, she worked harder and harder to cook dishes for her lover.
Du Xinghe went to the balcony here, didn't close the balcony, blocked the noise, and picked up Lin Jianguo's phone: "Hey, Uncle Lin?" ”
"Where are you? Why aren't you in the office? Lin Jianguo seemed to have gone to Du Xinghe's office to find Du Xinghe.
"I'm out there."
"Is it convenient for you to speak now? Didn't drive, did you? Lin Jianguo didn't say anything in a hurry, obviously it wasn't a particularly anxious matter.
"I didn't drive, you can say it, it's convenient for me to talk." Du Xinghe expected that Lin Jianguo should cooperate with him and Lamb Pictures. As far as he knew, Lin Jianguo went to invite Gao Yang and his family to have dinner tonight to talk about this matter. In the past two days, he has been too busy to bother with this matter. Let Lin Jianguo talk about this kind of business cooperation.
Fang Yajun has already negotiated with their team, and Cheng Jiaren was also persuaded by Lin Jianguo that as long as the film is scheduled to be filmed until August next year, Fang Yajun can participate in this movie.
Lin Jianguo called Du Xinghe at this time, and he did mean that he was negotiating with Lamb Pictures tonight.
"I just had dinner with Gao Yang and Director Wang, and the two of them attach great importance to this cooperation with us, if they can, they hope to do their best to set up a project and operate this matter."
Du Xinghe asked, "What do we need to do here?" ”
"For this cooperation, we just need to invite Fang Yajun here. Just sign a letter of intent for cooperation. This movie they initially set a total investment of 20 million. I think that's a lot for some horror films. The investment is higher than that of Huanya's "No Bones", which is a head. We are only responsible for the production of the music part, and we can take the three-component red. ”
After saying some things that had been talked about a long time ago, Lin Jianguo said again: "Those two people still said." If we don't worry about the quality of the film they will make. We can send an art director here. To control the quality of the film, Gao Yang also specially proposed that you can serve as the art director of this film to direct Wang Xiaoyue to shoot the kind of effect you want. ”
Du Xinghe was stunned when he heard this. said: "I'm going to direct Wang Xiaoyue? Make no mistake, people are masters of the directing department, real professional background, how can I direct others, then Gao Yang really dares to shoot me on the back. "Since he proposed to let Fang Yajun join, Du Xinghe can feel that Gao Yang is holding him openly and secretly, which feels a bit marketable. He doesn't really like this type of style of work. Because he thinks this kind of person is a bit fake, not so crisp.
Lin Jianguo said: "That being said, although you don't study movies, the story is what you think, and the script is also drawn by you. They said they would try to shoot as you asked. ”
Du Xinghe frowned and asked, "Did Director Wang say the same thing?" Or is this what Gao Yang said alone? In his opinion, film directors should have their own understanding and perception of the film, and have their own personal style, and it is impossible for others to say what they are filming, so she will be what they are, such a director is too unassertive. Wang Xiaoyue doesn't seem to be such a character, Wang Xiaoyue is a very assertive director, shouldn't say such things, right?
Sure enough, Lin Jianguo said: "Director Wang also said that she wants to talk to you more about this film, and strive to make a blockbuster work." ”
Du Xinghe nodded and said, "Well, it seems that there is a great chance of cooperation this time, so you can continue to follow up on this matter in the future, I will worry about it." ”
Lin Jianguo suddenly said urgently: "Don't worry about it!" This film has to involve our cloud world and Fang Yajun's reputation! Just let it go and shoot it for Lamb Pictures, aren't you worried about them shooting badly? Although Wang Xiaoyue has made a lot of MVs, but she has never made a big movie, I think it is better to find a reliable art producer and supervise this film. If you don't want to be a producer, I can just supervise the production, not only to supervise their shooting, but also to supervise their investment......"
Du Xinghe hurriedly interrupted: "Uncle Lin, you want to overstep your authority and blindly mix peace!" Other companies attract investment to make movies, what do you supervise? What qualifications do you have? ”
Lin Jianguo said more seriously: "Why am I not qualified to supervise? This film is jointly produced by our cloud world, as the vice president of cloud world, I am also one of the producers of this film, right? It makes sense for me to appoint myself as an executive producer! ”
Makes sense, a big-headed ghost! Du Xinghe really wanted to burst into a dirty mouth, and said helplessly: "Uncle Lin, please don't bother with this, I know you have a big spirit, but we still have a lot of more important things to do, the film producer is not so easy to do, and it takes time." If you can't trust the quality of their company's shooting, I'll take the time to supervise it from an artistic level later, so don't mix it up. ”
Hearing that Du Xinghe was going to go out, Lin Jianguo was a lot more relieved, and said: "That's okay, in short, we have to ensure the quality of this film, and we can't let Fang Yajun break it." Fang Yajun should be popular next year, and this film can't become a stain on her. ”
Lin Jianguo's words made Du Xinghe slightly surprised, in the past, as long as he could earn the money in front of him, Lin Jianguo would not think too much about the consequences, but now, he is actually thinking about Fang Yajun's future, presumably this is a positive "side effect" of getting closer and closer to Cheng Jiaren.
Du Xinghe said: "I know, don't worry, I am definitely not enough as a producer, go back and ask Fang Yajun to recommend a few veterans in the film industry to supervise this film." This is the first film in our cloud world to set foot in the film industry, and the quality must be guaranteed. ”
Lin Jianguo agreed: "Okay, I think so too, as one of the producers, it would be great if we could hire more senior professionals to check the gates." ”
Du Xinghe said again: "There is one more thing I have to talk to you about, although Lamb Pictures said that we don't need to invest, but I think that we are co-producing this movie, or we should invest some money in it, so as to show our attitude, otherwise we will pull a Fang Yajun over to support the scene, as if we have to rely on Fang Yajun's empty gloves and white wolves." ”
Lin Jianguo disagreed: "How can this be considered an empty glove white wolf?" We came up with a creative idea, and we also invited the most important gimmick - Fang Yajun, which is much more important than investing money! ”
Du Xinghe still said: "That's what I said, but I still think that if we don't invest a penny, it's not like what a company that really does things should do, and it's not atmospheric." I think let's make a move, so that we can ask the producer or something in the future. Also, we didn't invest this money in vain, and after we invested the money, we had every reason to talk about increasing the sharing ratio. ”
Du Xinghe continued: "The total investment in this film is 20 million, and it is likely to send a very high-selling horror film, which is not the meaning of testing the waters and shooting casually, it is likely to make a lot of money." One percent more dividends may increase the income of several millions. Now we account for 3 percent, I think it's a little little, if we invest 5 million, the proportion of the share is 50 percent, then this deal will be more profitable, what do you think? ”
Du Xinghe's reasoned and well-founded analysis made Lin Jianguo unable to refute, indeed, according to the current expectations, this film may become a masterpiece, and if the Ghost Moon is well publicized next year, it is likely to sell very amazing box office.
According to Lin Jianguo's recent understanding, the total box office of the current Southeast Alliance cinema chain is increasing at a rate of 20% every year, and almost every year the box office champion in the league will set a new record, and the classified film market is also steadily increasing with the market flow.
This year's "No Bones" can break out at the box office of 80 million during the Spring Festival - this is not a very popular horror film, and the investors have a net income of 32 million at the box office alone, which can be described as a big profit. According to this trend, if "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" can be launched in the Ghost Moon next year and do a good job of high-quality publicity, the box office will definitely be able to compare with "No Bones". If you can invest 5 million to increase the share ratio of the film to 5%, then the money should not be spent.
Lin Jianguo said: "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Gao Yang, and strive to let them bring in 20 million, let's invest another 5 million, and increase the total investment of the film to 25 million, so that there will be more funds to promote." In this way, if we can get 50% of the dividends, we will make a steady profit and not lose money. ”
Du Xinghe couldn't complain about Lin Jianguo's ability to pick small accounts, and said with a smile: "Okay, you just watch and talk, it would be great if the film could be mentioned to a total investment of 25 million." But we must take 50% of the film. This film is a movie jointly produced by our cloud world, and it can be regarded as drawing a line for our company itself, and in the future, our cloud world will reinvest and co-produce films, and the minimum share will be 50%. ”
Lin Jianguo likes to listen to Du Xinghe say this in an uncompromising tone, the cloud world should have this kind of toughness in negotiation, and there should also be this kind of domineering to make money, so he happily said to Du Xinghe: "Don't worry, if they don't give us fifty percent of the dividends in this film, they won't cooperate with them, and they are not the only ones who can shoot it." ”
Du Xinghe believed that Lin Jianguo could talk about it, so he didn't say much, and then Lin Jianguo talked to him for half an hour about more specific and trivial issues, all of which he had talked about with Gao Yang and his family during dinner before, such as the selection of the main actors, and whether Du Xinghe had any special recommendations or appreciation, they would give priority. (To be continued......)
