Chapter 126: Climb to the top, champion! (Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass)

Luo Yong is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit all the year round, with a semi-bald hairstyle that is unique to a strong man.

I could only wait silently, staring at his head, and secretly sighing, 'I might as well be too'.

The two are already very familiar with each other, As soon as they entered the office, they didn't need to say hello, Luo Yong himself sat on the sofa and made tea.

He picked up a little tea from the tea can, put it on the side of his nose and smelled it, his expression was very intoxicated, as if he was smoking something, and his spirit was instantly refreshed.

"Mr. Zhang, this Tieguanyin is good, give it to me."

As he spoke, he boiled water, washed cups, and made tea, and the whole process was meticulous.

It's one of his hobbies and he likes to drink strong tea.

According to his own words, he used to stay up late when he was busy with cases, so he drank strong tea to refresh himself, and finally developed this habit.

"Take it away, I don't like tea anyway."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and didn't care about the road.

In addition to receiving guests to make tea, he rarely drinks tea, so a lot of tea leaves in the office are not even opened, and they are placed there to fall into ashes.

This can of Tieguanyin was sent by Fu Yiming when he came to Xuanyu last year, and he didn't like to drink it, so he almost didn't touch it.

"Do you know anything about Rakuten Video?"

Get straight to the point.

Luo Yong first put away the tea leaves, took a sip of the mellow and fragrant tea, smashed it, smashed it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and nodded lightly: "I know, what's wrong?" ”

He held the teacup, blew hot air, and said, "Boss Jia's bankruptcy lawsuit is still a favor from a friend in the circle I used to do, what?" The company is eyeing Rakuten Video? ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, I'm a little interested in Rakuten Video." ”

"You also know that Xuanyu just lacks a playback channel now, and if you can buy Rakuten Video, it will be good for the company."

"But what's going on with Rakuten Video? Whether you can buy it, how much to buy, whether you have any debts is still unknown, I want you to talk to Boss Jia in the name of Xuanyu, feel the situation, and then come back and report it to me. ”

"No problem, leave it to me."

Luo Yong agreed.

He has been engaged in the lawyer industry for many years, has a lot of resources in the lawyer circle, and has strong professionalism.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yang handed it over to Luo Yong.

"That's fine, wait for your news."

"Yes."

Luo Yong didn't delay, and directly put down the still hot tea.

Picked up the can of Tieguanyin and went out.

"Wait for my news."

......

......

After the explosion in the first week, the box office trend of "Covering the Sky" decreased slightly, but then rebounded strongly with the broadcast of the interview.

Throughout May, it reached 2 billion in the first week, and it did not decrease in the second week, even after the holiday, but because of the increase in the film scheduling rate, it was even more than the first week, reaching 2.2 billion!

In the third week, the film schedule of "Covering the Sky" rose again.

The number of the other three films was divided a lot by "Covering the Sky", so the box office remained at a high level of 1.6 billion this week.

Wait until the fourth week.

"Covering the Sky" has snatched up the other three movies cleanly, and the film schedule has risen to 55%, even if many people have seen it, the box office still exceeds one billion, winning 1.1 billion at the box office.

Throughout May, the domestic box office of "Covering the Sky" won a terrifying number of 6.9 billion, topping the box office champion of Dragon Country movies!

This news was also officially released by Xuanyu, attracting many netizens to watch!

The discussion began on the Internet again, and the mood of all parties was high!

Many participating actors and actresses have been honored and have posted congratulations, and they have also been pulled by various news media to do interviews.

As a director, Zhang Yang was also approached by reporters and participated in several private interviews.

At the same time, as the box office reached the top, the value of the actors has risen sharply, and the actors of Hu Qu and other companies are not very clear, but the value of Fan Leizhou, Tang Jing, Li Ang and others has broken through the 10 million mark and been promoted to first-line actors!

As their worth skyrocketed, the three of them did not become arrogant because of this!

On the contrary, I am even more grateful to Zhang Yang for giving me this rare opportunity, practicing professional skills diligently every day, receiving advertisements, taking on dramas, and doing my part for the development of Xuanyu.

Zhang Yang even heard that the relationship between Tang Jing and Wang Fei seems to have further developed.

Of course, in addition to them, with the ascension of "Covering the Sky", the popularity of Facai with participation in the show has increased again.

Its superb acting skills, handsome posture, and incomparably handsome dog face attract fans for it.

Not only do there be special agents, but also a lot of pet-related advertisements, but also have a special person to serve every day, all kinds of high-end dog food, seafood, meat.

It even has its own special Douyin account and Guangbo account, with millions of fans, twice as many fans as Zhang Yang!

And that's not all.

Because of the continued popularity of the movie, the release key has also been postponed for 30 days, and the original painting scheduled for May 31 has been postponed to June 30.

At the same time, the foreign side has been offline at the end of the month.

In the whole of May, the foreign box office of "Covering the Sky" was only 50 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 300 million yuan, which is a big difference compared to the domestic one!

Added up inside and outside, the global box office of "Covering the Sky" erased a fraction of a total of 7.2 billion!

It is expected that with the postponement in June, it is not impossible to break through the 8 billion mark!

And with the strong rise of "Covering the Sky", the box office figures of the other three are not so good.

Movies that were originally released separately and were expected to win more box office are now at least 40% less!

In May, "Wolf Warrior 3" only took 3.4 billion at the box office.

"Lin Lingsu" is a little less, only 2.7 billion.

"Burma" is the worst, only 1.9 billion.

But even so, the four movies are still better than the others.

Therefore, the three of them were also postponed for a month like "Covering the Sky".

However, the box office potential of the four movies is not much, just looking at the box office figures in May, this melon skin meeting, watermelon video will definitely rank first, 10% of the film and television share is properly in hand, only the Quartet needs to get together again, and it's over.

Faced with this result, Guan Mingyuan was smiling when he called, and his tone was very happy.

The two chatted about the box office, looking forward to the future of watermelon video, and by the way, he would tell Zhang Yang some interesting things.

For example, the Gu general of Yougua smashed a lot of things and was furious in the company!

Long Yu, who loves melons, is also uncomfortable, and was called by the group headquarters behind him to train several times.

Tenggua's Sun Zhonghuai was not in a good mood, and held a conference internally, as if he wanted to call for someone to learn from and comprehensively reform Tenggua video.

Guan Mingyuan also has no evidence, it's all hearsay, and the two chatted about it as a joke.

And on 6.1 Children's Day, Guan Mingyuan called again.

"Director Zhang, congratulations, the box office of "Covering the Sky" topped the Dragon Kingdom, and Xuanyu made a lot of money this time!"

Guan Mingyuan's tone was a little sour.

According to the previous agreement, the box office share of "Covering the Sky" belongs to Xuanyu, and the watermelon can't get a point.

Compared with Guan Mingyuan's sour tone, Zhang Yang said with a wry smile: "What makes a lot of money, it's not as good as making a Romance of the Dragon and Snake." ”

He is telling the truth, don't look at the box office of "Covering the Sky" with more than 7 billion.

But all kinds of miscellaneous deductions are really not much.

First of all, you have to pay taxes, and after paying taxes, you have to give Huayi a share, and Huayi has to take off the majority of the theater after taking it.

In this way, Xuanyu can only get 2.695 billion from the domestic box office of "Covering the Sky", and only 13.5 million US dollars from abroad, which is only 2.8 billion in Jackie Chan's national currency.

It's a few small goals worse than "Dragon Snake 2".

Compared with the investment of 3 billion in "Covering the Sky", this money is really not worth it at all, if it weren't for the watermelon sharing the cost of 1.3 billion and not taking dividends, Zhang Yang would definitely lose a lot of money when filming "Covering the Sky".

If it weren't for the experience points of the system, Zhang Yang wouldn't be willing to make a movie!

It's too much of a loss, it's not worth it!

How good it is to make a TV series, the investment is small, and the income is more, which is much better than making movies!

"You said a movie, I only made 1.1 billion, where did I make a big profit? If it weren't for your watermelon, Xuanyu would have lost money this time. ”

Zhang Yang calculated it for Guan Mingyuan, and poured bitter water.

"Your watermelon video investment of 1.3 billion can be returned to blood through the website on-demand, and you can also take away 10% of the national film and television resources from the melon peel meeting, which is really profitable."

"Haha, what's the matter, let's earn together, earn together."

Guan Mingyuan said, but his tone was also full of joy.

He also got the box office data of "Covering the Sky", and he had already calculated it internally in the company, and obviously knew the specific situation.

Xuanyu invested 1.7 billion to earn back 1.1 billion, and watermelon invested 1.3 billion to earn back on-demand plus 10% of resources, compared to it, it is indeed watermelon video to earn more.

"Win-win, win-win."

Guan Mingyuan hurriedly changed his words, laughed, and was very happy.

"Okay, Mr. Guan, don't Versailles, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yang pursed his lips and diverted the topic.

"It's really something."

Speaking of business, Guan Mingyuan's tone returned to seriousness: "The box office data of the four movies have come out, and it is an indisputable fact that "Covering the Sky" won the championship, even if it is screened for another month, the ending cannot be changed, unless there is a miracle." ”

"So, I contacted them, and next week, the Quartet will get together to reopen the melon peel meeting, and re-sign a formal contract on the allocation of film and television resources this year, and all parties agree that you, as the director selected for the last participation in the watermelon video, it is best to participate together, how about it? To come? ”

"I'll look at the schedule."

Zhang Yang pretended to flip through the documents, pretending to be looking at the schedule, but in fact, he had other ideas in his heart.

Originally, the competition of the Guapi Society, he finished filming the movie, and after the results came out, how could he have anything to do.

You Quartet platform boss signed the contract, what is he going to do?

Right?

However, if he wants to acquire Rakuten Video, it will be necessary to participate in this meeting.

When the four major platforms get together, in addition to chatting about business, they will definitely say some other things, but any gossip in it will affect the development of the entire online video industry.

Moreover, if he really acquires Rakuten Video, as a competitor, he will definitely not be able to participate in this meeting in the future.

This time will probably be the last.

Therefore, after thinking about it this way, Zhang Yang felt that it was best to go.

No matter what news there is or what you can hear, participating in this meeting is still good for Xuanyu.

He put down the documents he was flipping through and pretended to think, "What time is next week?" Where is the location? ”

"Next Saturday, on the top floor of the Mishima Begonia Hotel. What do you think? Got time? ”

"If you have time, you must arrive on time!"
