Chapter 793 - Already Learned to Be Smart
"So...... A good story, who are you going to play it? Lin Dong asked.
Although it's funny, if the stupid thief is a handsome mess and his paralyzed appearance is against the sky, no one may buy it.
"I haven't thought about this yet, this story of mine was born from one of my earliest dramas "Stupid", it is just a line in it, every time I tell this story to others, they look at me with expressionless faces, just like you just now." Rao Xiaozhi is not stupid, and he can sense that Lin Dong, like everyone else, is not very optimistic about his story.
"No, no, I'm a person with a higher laugh." Boss Lin was a little embarrassed to be poked in front of him.
"If I had to do it, I'd probably ask my friends at the theater for help."
Rao Xiaozhi once said:
For me, movies are like toys full of seduction, and excitement becomes the place of interest. Drama, on the other hand, is like finding some kind of faith, and it is still willing to bury its head in the clouds.
Although in order to live, in order to go further on the path of faith, he chose to become a film director.
In fact, drama is what he wants to do the most.
Make a movie, help your theater peers find something to eat, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to afford a garage.
In the blind date market, an ordinary drama person, a program ape with a car and a house, which one will you choose?
You may have more respect for the theater people, but in the end the choice is basically reality.
"We also have a small theater in the cat factory, you can also go to our side to perform when you have time, it is our company's cultural activities, 800,000 yuan per show, and we provide the venue or everything." Lin Dong still respects drama people.
"800,000?" Rao Xiaozhi was stunned.
800,000 yuan per game, and the venue is provided for free, so it's not too easy to make money.
From July 10 to August 2, 2015, the first round of performances of "Tomb Robbery Notes 3" was staged 22 times in the first round of performances in Shencheng Cultural Square, and the ticket income was 12.4408 million yuan, which means that its income per performance was more than 560,000 yuan.
It seems to be very good, but the main thing is that people have a fan base.
In 2016, the three stage plays of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" had an income of 1.2547 million yuan, a cost of 863,700 yuan, and a gross profit of only 391,000 yuan.
"The company pays money, basically all of them are old actors on our side, and there are employees who are interested in this aspect to perform, and I occasionally go on stage." Lin Dong didn't think the price was too high.
After all, it's the system that pays for it.
Counted in the company's cultural activities, it is like the team building of other companies.
Kleist also has team building, but it's all spontaneous, if you don't want to go to team building, then put 12,000 team building fees on your card, whatever you want.
"I haven't heard of it, your little theater should be very popular, right?" Rao Xiaozhi was stunned.
He is a well-connected person in the drama circle, and he has never heard of such a small theater.
"Uh," Lin Dong explained a little embarrassed, "The audience is only staff, so the spread is not wide, and occasionally, the venue will be empty." ”
Kleist's Little Theatre is actually so-so.
The main thing is that there are fewer people watching.
Nowadays, young people rarely watch drama and stage plays, and they prefer to go to the cinema to watch movies.
The employees of the cat factory do not spend money to watch movies, and they can also get free tickets for couples and family members.
In this case, the same free small theater is not fragrant.
However, since it is a part of the company culture, the quota for one session a week is there.
38.4 million a year, there are additional quotas for holidays, and there are activity quotas, no matter how you calculate it, it will not exceed 50 million a year.
For a big company like a cat factory, this is really nothing.
As for inviting a troupe to perform from outside, this has really not been implemented, but it is harmless and completely feasible.
The otaku of the company are currently actively making suggestions.
I hope to invite Nogizaka 46 to play in the small theater.
However, this is obviously unlikely, 800,000 will not be able to invite them, not even one.
"I'll coordinate it after I go back, and I hope to be able to perform in the small theater of the cat factory." Rao Xiaozhi understands.
This is an internal activity.
The target group is internal employees, so it is not a place to make money at all.
However, if you just perform once, it doesn't count as money.
On the contrary, it can deepen the impression of the cat factory employees on the drama.
It can be regarded as a promotion of drama.
The cat factory has a huge influence in the circle, and if it can be promoted to them, it will also be beneficial to the development of drama in the future.
"Having said that, your new movie, let's not tell the story first, if you are only looking for friends in the drama circle, don't you worry about problems such as the box office?" Lin Dong's half-truths and half-truths.
He's smart now.
You can't just think that the project must be cool just because others don't invest.
It happens that everyone is blind together.
For example, "Little Wrecking Ball", which is now being ridiculed in various ways, who would have thought that its box office would almost break 5 billion.
"Little Wrecking Ball" has indeed been ridiculed in various ways.
Kleist, the largest producer, was once again considered to have "made the same decision as "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff", and also said "I hope that the "Mountains and Seas" series can save the cat factory that was almost destroyed by "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" like "Xinshu Mountain".
There was "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" in the front, and "Little Wrecking Ball" in the back, which is also a big investment of 300 million.
So much so that many investors of "Little Wrecking Ball" began to retreat.
Therefore, Lin Dong is more about exploring the things of the project itself, rather than believing that everyone will lose something.
This is a sign of a man's maturity.
He's a professional now.
"I'm worried, but my movie, ordinary people can't play that flavor, the new movie I plan to call it "The Nameless", it's all the struggles of some little people, can you imagine how spicy it is for ordinary flowers and grasses?" Rao Xiaozhi was also very depressed.
It is difficult for a drama director like him to come up with works suitable for traffic.
Not a world at all.
"That's just as well." Lin Dong didn't know whether he should rest assured or persuade him to enable traffic.
In the big era, he made a lot of money by relying on traffic, but "Extinction" also had traffic full of screens, but the box office just rushed to grandma's house.
It's really a night back to before the liberation, and it is said that the writers are going to sell their buildings to get by.
Lin Dong really can't understand this market.
So, in the end, he decided to go with the flow.
"I'm going to find Ren Suxi, the actress of your cultural festival." Rao Xiaozhi gave a heroine's name.
There's no way, the actors he plans to find, except for Chen Jianbin, the others don't know Lin Dong, an industry insider.
Only Ren Suxi is more famous.
Cat factory actress.
This title may not work elsewhere, but it is no problem in front of Lin Dong.
You chose it, idol.
