Chapter 480: Fang Ping, Are You So Strong?
"There's no problem with the time, I'm just curious that the stone is a comedy, why it wasn't scheduled to be released in the Chinese New Year!" Fang Ping shook his head and said again.
Does he know that since the rise of Chinese New Year films, many well-known directors have made films every year and joined the Chinese New Year files.
The so-called Chinese New Year file is the schedule for movie releases during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival every year.
Generally at this time, because of the New Year's holiday, the audience likes to go into the cinema in groups of three or five, or as a family.
It is precisely because the market needs some lighthearted, humorous, ornamental, and story-telling films. Therefore, whenever the directors shoot a comedy, they will choose to release it in the Chinese New Year.
It is said that such an excellent comedy as Stone should be released in the Chinese New Year, but it was arranged by Director Ning to be released on October 1st.
It's a bit puzzling to him!
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "This is not clear, maybe Director Ning and Mr. Lu want to arrange the release of the film as soon as possible!" ”
Fang Ping thought about it, it seemed that there was only this possibility, nodded, and said, "Do I have other arrangements for the afternoon?" ”
"Yes, in the afternoon, you will sit in Xingchen Technology and arrange for someone to send invitations to the new machine press conference to the major media around the world."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "At half past three, you made an appointment with the TV station to discuss the live broadcast of the new machine's press conference." ”
"At five o'clock, the company has a meeting, and you need to attend! The theme of the conference is to summarize the new machine press conference and the preparations for the mass production and listing of Xingchen smartphones. ”
"So be it! Send an invitation letter to the TV station to discuss the live broadcast of the new machine press conference, and hand it over to Mr. Tang to discuss! Fang Ping thought for a while and ordered: "At five o'clock, I will attend on time!" ”
Su Xiaoxiao understood, and said tentatively: "Boss, the future entertainment viewing meeting is scheduled for this afternoon?" ”
In other words, you pushed the itinerary of Xingchen Technology, are you going to participate in the movie viewing party of Future Entertainment!
"Well, it's scheduled for this afternoon."
Fang Ping nodded: "If you don't go today, it will get busier and busier in the future." There is no idle time in a short period of time. ”
Su Xiaoxiao also knows that whether it is a new machine press conference, or a smartphone mass production and listing, etc., there are a bunch of things that need to be decided by Fang Ping.
And it is a major event related to the future of Xingchen Technology, and Fang Ping cannot fake it to others.
I couldn't help but nodded: "Well, okay, then I'll tell Mr. Feng right away and let her arrange it!" ”
The sound fell, let go of the phone, and arranged Fang Ping's meaning in a low voice.
Fang Ping and Su Xiaowan came to the parking lot with Su Xiaoxiao, got into their own car, and went to the Xingyuan Building, where Future Technology is located.
An hour later, Fang Ping and his party came to the parking lot of the building and parked the car.
Fang Ping and Su Xiaoxiao got out of the car and went straight to the elevator room outside the future entertainment office area.
"Boss (Mr. Fang), you're here!"
As soon as the two appeared, Feng Ziyue, Lu Ming, Ning Dao and others who had been waiting for a long time greeted them one after another.
Fang Ping nodded and said with a smile: "The viewing party of the first movie of Future Entertainment, no matter what, I have to come and see it!" ”
"Mr. Fang, thank you for your support of Future Entertainment!" Lu Ming said busily.
Fang Ping waved his hand: "Okay, don't say polite words, where is the location of the movie?" We've been there! ”
"In the company's viewing room, I'll take you there!"
Lu Ming replied, hurriedly walked in front, made a gesture of please, led Fang Ping into the office area, came to a viewing room with a large area and complete supporting facilities, and sat down in rows of positions indoors in an orderly manner.
As soon as he sat down, Fang Ping didn't say anything superfluous, only said two words, and after starting, Lu Ming and the others immediately operated the equipment prepared in the room.
A moment later, a large screen in front of Fang Ping's seat in the viewing room lit up, and the crazy stone began to play.
After the appearance of the animated version of the logo designed by Future Entertainment and other designs, enter the crazy stone feature.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, Fang Ping felt a familiar feeling in his heart, and also found that the crazy stones in the current film were almost exactly the same as the stones he had seen in his previous life, and the rhythm of the plot was almost the same.
If there is a difference, I am afraid that the characters and some scenes in the stone are a little different.
In addition to old faces such as Huang Bo, there are also new faces such as Liu Tianwang and Wei Haibo. The scene is the same, like Mr. Feng's villa in the film, in the stone of the previous life, Mr. Feng shot chickens and ducks in the villa or something.
In the current version, Mr. Feng's villa is full of luxury, and the sports he plays are ten out of ten rich people's play, which is very in line with Mr. Feng's personality.
Gradually, the crazy stone finished playing.
Fang Ping stood up and took the lead in applauding, followed by the others who stood up and applauded.
At the end of the warm applause, Fang Ping looked at Director Ning in the seat behind him, and congratulated: "Director Ning, congratulations on shooting a very wonderful film." ”
"Thank you Mr. Fang for your compliment, the stone can have today, thanks to Mr. Fang's support!" Director Ning said busily.
Fang Ping waved his hand and said: "Director Ning, you don't have to be too modest, I just invested a little money, with your ability, anyone can invest in you, you can also make a wonderful film!" ”
"Thank you!" Director Ning was moved in his heart, and did not continue to be polite, but only said these two words seriously.
He knows very well that the most important thing in the film and television industry is talented people, and what is most lacking is a noble person like Fang Ping.
With the support of noble people, everything can be smooth sailing in the circle. If there is no support from nobles, no matter how talented you are, you can only sink to the bottom of the sea in the end.
In the end, either continue to struggle in the lower echelons of the circle, or leave the circle with scars.
So he is very glad that he joined Future Entertainment and was appreciated by Fang Ping, so he had the opportunity to direct the film independently.
Without Fang Ping, he has a talent, and he has nowhere to show it.
Fang Ping heard the gratitude in the word thank you, smiled and patted Director Ning's shoulder, turned around and exchanged a few words with Feng Ziyue and the others, and suddenly said: "By the way, I listen to Xiao, the stone is scheduled to be released on October 1st?" Why is it not arranged in the Chinese New Year stall? ”
"The competition for this year's Chinese New Year stalls is too fierce!" On the side, Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
Fang Ping was surprised: "What do you say?" ”
"Not to mention the blockbusters coming in from abroad, it is that there are no thieves in the world with Director Feng in front of this year's Chinese New Year stalls, and there is the kung fu of Xingye in the back."
Lu Ming said helplessly: "These two are directors with strong appeal, and it is too difficult to compete with them for the box office!" ”
Fang Ping suddenly realized, and then remembered that there were indeed these two films released in the Chinese New Year file at the end of this year, and both of them achieved a box office of more than 100 million.
In the current market environment, the box office of more than 100 million is actually similar to the box office of more than one billion and billions in later generations.
It can be said to be one of the highest-grossing domestic films at the moment.
is like the crazy stone in the previous life, known as a low-budget dark horse movie, but the final box office is only more than 20 million.
It is conceivable how strong the movies with a box office of more than 100 million in this era are.
It is no wonder that Lu Ming and Director Ning both chose to avoid the Lunar New Year stalls and chose to release them in advance.
"And whether our future entertainment is a new company in the entertainment industry, the background is still very shallow. If we put the stone in the Chinese New Year file for release, I'm afraid that we won't be able to give much in terms of the number of films in theaters! Lu Ming saw that Fang Ping was silent, and continued.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, really, whether it is now or in the future, the cinema chain has always occupied a very important position in the film industry. Even like the iron ore triumvirate, they control the market terminal.
Any movie that is released needs to be released in theaters, which is equivalent to putting the right to speak in the hands of theaters.
In fact, because the cinema chain controls the terminal channel, it has a great say in what movies are released and how much film is released, and even the final box office income, after paying taxes and the special fund for the film industry, the theater chain will take the lion's share.
The rest is the distribution of dividends from the distributor and producer.
Thinking of this, Fang Ping looked at Feng Ziyue and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Feng, you can arrange it to help Future Entertainment get involved in the cinema sector, and take one or two cinema chains through acquisitions!" ”
"Uh, the acquisition of cinemas?" Feng Ziyue was stunned.
Fang Ping nodded: "Yes, it is impossible for Future Entertainment to only shoot such a movie, and more movies will be made in the future." Since you want to go deep into the development of the film industry, you can't do without the help of the theater chain! ”
"So in order to avoid being controlled, then you can only come forward and set foot in the theater chain and control one or two theater chains!"
"Mr. Fang, this proposal is very good. If we control the theater chain ourselves, then our voice in the film and television industry will be greatly strengthened! ”
Lu Ming's eyes lit up on the side, and he hurriedly echoed: "And the problem of shallow entertainment in the future will also be greatly improved." ”
He knows what amazing energy a film company can burst out with a cinema chain.
Not to mention anything else, all the film companies in the circle will give future entertainment two faces.
When the time comes, it will not be the future entertainment that will rush to tie them up, but the future entertainment that they will rush to.
The most important thing is that Future Entertainment has mastered the theater chain, so it will have the right to speak in the theater chain, which will be of great help to the future future Entertainment Entertainment's movie release and film scheduling.
"Boss, your consideration is very reasonable!" The corners of Feng Ziyue's mouth twitched, how could she not know Lu Ming's thoughts, after giving him a blank look, she looked at Fang Ping, and hesitated: "It's just that the acquisition of the theater line requires a lot of funds." Do you think this matter is slowing down, and after the future technology is profitable, are you thinking about it? ”
"There is no need to think about it, with the funds on the future technology account, the acquisition of domestic cinemas is enough!" Fang Ping waved his hand.
Feng Ziyue wanted to speak: "But..."
"What? Is there anything wrong with the company's funding? Fang Ping frowned and said.
Feng Ziyue hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no problem with the funds. It's just that the money in the company's account is all injected by major shareholders, not the profit of Future Technology itself. ”
"I'm worried that if I use the money in my account to buy the theater chain, the shareholders will have opinions!"
She knows very well that any capital that invests in the Internet industry is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that the founders of Internet companies will take the money of investors, and they will not do a good job in doing business, and they will go to the east and west.
If Future Technology was Fang Ping's alone, she would do it without saying a word and use funds to acquire the theater chain.
But Future Technology is a joint-stock company, and she is in this position, so she must consider the ideas of other shareholders.
"You don't have to worry about this, whoever has an opinion, let him come to me!" Fang Ping waved his hand.
Feng Ziyue was stunned, no, what is the situation?
Boss, when you were in charge of future technology, were you so dictatorial and so strong?
Don't you take into account the opinions of other shareholders at all?
This is too bad for other shareholders to save face, right?
