Zeng Zhiwei refused his invitation, which was insignificant to Lei Juekun, and he even deliberately revealed signs of dealing with Kang Jianfei. It's all there

Unlike Kang Jianfei, who likes to play yīn tricks, Lei Juekun prefers to use yang schemes in a dignified manner. "Hero Ben Sè" is still in theaters, and because this film is too influential, Lei Juekun is afraid that forcing the painting to be completed in advance will attract criticism, so everything is operating as usual.

However, after the test film, there has been no follow-up to "Royal Sister 2 Direct Witness". It wasn't until August that Li Maowen, the general manager of Golden Princess Cinemas, suddenly called someone to notify the marketing operation department of DreamWorks, saying that "Royal Sister 2" was temporarily scheduled to be released in 10 copies, and there were only 6 canvases for the release.

The first part of "Royal Sister" won the overseas box office, and it was a record-breaking movie at the box office in Hong Kong, and its sequel was also a big production with a production cost of over 10 million, and it was treated so discriminatorily in the Golden Princess Cinema!

Ma Qiao, who is in charge of DreamWorks' marketing operations, had the idea to put the film on display around Christmas, and the promotion of the film could have been carried out early.

Now that Princess Jin suddenly played this hand, Ma Qiao felt simply inexplicable. He personally went to Princess Jin and asked Li Maowen to give him a reasonable explanation, but what he got was this excuse: Princess Jin has her own consideration for the scheduling of the Christmas file, and the number of theaters for "Royal Sister 2" is too small, because there are other movies to be released. If the box office performance of "Royal Sister 2" is good enough, the theater chain will consider adding more screenings to it at that time.

Ma Qiao's lungs exploded, but no matter how the theory is, Princess Jin just bit the argument to death. He had no choice but to go home and run to ask Kang Jianfei, who was doing the styling design for "Looking for Qin" with Tang Shuchen: "Boss, what's going on with Princess Jin?" How do you say that if you turn your face, you turn your face? ”

Kang Jianfei looked at the corner shape designed by Tang Shuchen and threw the manuscript paper back on the table. Pulling Ma Qiao aside and saying: "After "Hero Ben Sè", it is estimated that the company's film may be difficult to release, and the operation department must be mentally prepared. Lei Juekun's old fox thinks that the golden princess is full-fledged and ready to attack DreamWorks. ”

Ma Qiao asked in surprise, "What exactly does he want to do?" DreamWorks is the biggest financier of the Golden Princess Cinemas! ”

Kang Jianfei smiled helplessly: "His abacus is very clear, and he has made it clear that he wants to suppress the number and time of the DreamWorks movie. Until I couldn't stand the loss and took the initiative to negotiate with him. ”

Ma Qiao was puzzled: "Negotiation? Does he want to lower the box office share of the producers? ”

Kang Jianfei said disdainfully: "It's so simple to do, this old fox probably wants to force him to buy a stake in DreamWorks, and even wants to eat DreamWorks." If I don't want to, he'll keep pressing our film. A movie that could have earned 10 million. He only made 2 million for DreamWorks, and wanted to force me to comply. ”

Ma Qiao said suspiciously: "But the less we earn, the less Princess Jin will earn!" ”

Kang Jianfei sighed: "The temporary decrease in income is not a problem for the golden princess who already has enough film sources, and it has reduced our box office." He can arrange for other films to be released. Although the box office is certainly not as good as our blockbuster films, it can still earn some back. The biggest loss is our DreamWorks, so it must be that we can't hold on first. ”

Ma Qiao listened to Kang Jianfei's explanation, and had completely figured things out, and asked: "Then don't we only have two choices, one is to agree to Lei Juekun's shareholding, and the other is to directly turn around and find Jiahe Cinema Line to cooperate." ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head with a smile and said, "I won't choose either of these choices." Letting Lei Juekun take a stake is purely to lure the wolf into the house. And it is not a wise choice to cooperate with Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas has Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Wu Siyuan's films to be released, and there are a lot of satellite companies, and there are not many canvases for us to screen. ”

Ma Qiao fell silent. His brain was running fast, and he said: "In the short term, we can find small theaters to cooperate with retail theaters, plus a few theaters that Princess Jin gave charity, although there are also losses." But it will definitely hold out for a while. ”

Kang Jianfei patted Ma Qiao's shoulder appreciatively and said, "Your idea is good, you can go to Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle Cinema Line." I kind of have a friendship with him. Recently, the quality of Hong Kong films has been getting better and better, and the box office of Western films has decreased a lot, so they should agree to cooperate. ”

Ma Qiao said: "It's too wasteful for "Royal Sister 2" to be released in October, I would rather not be released in the Golden Princess Theater than go to Christmas." In the past two years, the number of retail theaters in Hong Kong has increased a lot, and "Royal Sister 2" will definitely make a lot of money at the box office, as long as you communicate well with these retail theaters, most of them will agree. ”

"It's a pity that the location of these new theaters is not very good, and the scale is not large, and the box office will definitely be much less," Kang Jianfei sighed, "Let's make do with it first, I see where to find some money, let's get a few theaters to play ourselves." ”

Ma Qiao thought that Kang Jianfei was joking, but he didn't care much, he was thinking about how to cooperate with those scattered families.

Due to Kang Jianfei's chaotic entry, Hong Kong films at this time prospered earlier than parallel spaces, and the total number of Hong Kong theaters has risen to 96 this summer, reaching the level of the original time and space in 1984.

Kang Jianfei continued to discuss the design of "Looking for Qin" with Tang Shuchen, while Ma Qiao returned to the company and asked people to go to all the cinemas in Hong Kong to find out, preparing to come up with a cinema cooperation plan.

Of course, when Ma Qiao left, Kang Jianfei gave him a suggestion. That is, when DreamWorks releases ordinary films, it only cooperates with those retail theaters, and once it is a hot film such as "Royal Sister" and "Mr. Zombie" series, it will be like the last time in the United States, implementing a temporary theater plan.

When Kang Jianfei was having a headache for Lei Juekun's ruthlessness, McDonald Bear was waiting for the night to come with great anticipation.

Tonight is the premiere of "Sister Tuogun", with an average production cost of 15,000 per episode, which makes McDonald Bear full of confidence in this TV series, and he can even say that the quality level of "Sister Topgun" may be compared with some current movies.

The car chase and explosion scenes, which are rarely seen in those movies, suddenly appeared in the TV series, and the audience must have gone crazy when they saw it, and McDonald Bear was very much looking forward to the audience's surprised expression.

The Raptors stunt team is a team under Kang Jianfei, and they went to help Phoenix TV get some flying cars and explosion scenes, but the cost is actually very low. This is an advantage that TVB will never be able to achieve, and if Fang Yihua wants to ask stuntmen to shoot this kind of scene, the amount of money spent is at least three times that of Phoenix Channel.

"Sister Tuogun" has produced six episodes, and the reason why it was chosen to premiere today is because it accurately calculated the finale of TVB's "Vitality Eleven" yesterday.

McDonald's Bear, who is full of self-confidence, wants to take "Sister Tuogun" and "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains and Always Love" supervised by Wang Tianlin, this guy's style of acting is so simple and rude!

It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and McDonald Bear announced on the crew of "Sister Tuogun": "It's over, tonight is the premiere of "Senior Sister", everyone went home and turned on the TV, ready to watch the first episode of "Senior Sister Tuogun". Our goal is to kill TVB and cut the wireless station in half! ”

Several directors of the crew and the staff shouted: "Kill TVB, cut the wireless station in half!" ”

Seeing that everyone was very confident, McDonald Bear went back to the TV station satisfied, and he had to stay in the station tonight, waiting for the ratings to come out before he was relieved.

Compared with McDonald's high morale, Wang Tianlin, the producer of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love", is much calmer, filming and editing as usual, and then driving home after supper.

Wang Tianlin's calmness does not mean that Fang Yihua is also calm, because "Sister Tuogun" has already played a flower advertisement on Phoenix Channel in advance. There are explosions and flying cars in the advertisement, it's like watching a movie, how can this not worry Fang Yihua?

In Fang Yihua's office, her assistant hurriedly ran in and said, "Manager, I have already asked clearly, "Sister Tuogun" has completed six episodes. Only the first episode has an explosion scene, and most of the next five episodes are literary dramas, and there are very few martial arts scenes. ”

"Zhilu Dao, you go out of Lu first!" Fang Yihua said lightly.

"Yes, manager." The assistant obediently exited the office.

As soon as the assistant left, Fang Yihua showed a faint smile on his face, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

If "Sister Tuogun" were all the big scenes in the film, the ratings on both sides would not be comparable at all, and TVB would admit defeat directly.

However, Fang Yihua has to admit that Phoenix Channel's hand is very beautiful, and only a few seconds of trailer advertising is enough to attract many viewers to watch "Sister Tuogun".

……

In Kang Jianfei's rented house, Zhao Yazhi and Wen Bixuan were busy cooking in the kitchen.

After Zhao Yazhi and Wen Bixuan got acquainted, she often came over to have dinner with the three of them, after all, it was very inconvenient to cook only one person's meal.

Zhao Yazhi came out with a plate of tenderloin, and when she saw Kang Jianfei sitting on the sofa in a daze, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you worried about the ratings of "Sister Tuogun"? Let's try the tenderloin I made with Ah Xia. ”

Kang Jianfei opened his mouth to bite the loin fed by Zhao Yazhi, and said vaguely while chewing: "I am short of money to spend, and I am thinking about how to make money." ”

Zhao Yazhi put the dishes away, pressed his shoulder from behind the sofa and smiled: "You are still short of money?" Then I'm not going to die poor. ”

Wen Bixuan also came out with a plate of dishes at this time, and answered: "That is, I am the poorest, and I only saved tens of thousands of yuan after saving for so long." ”

"Yes, you're the poorest, and your closet is almost full." Kang Jianfei teased her and said, "Okay, let's eat first, and by the way, let's see how "Sister Tuogun" is filmed." ”
