Chapter 133: Champion of 61 Gear
"Brother Gu, you're hitting your face too fast."
Ge Wu hung up the phone and said with a smile. Just now, Penguin Music called him, asking if there is a music source of "Playing Cotton", hoping to put it on the shelves as soon as possible, the popularity is too high, background data shows that as of 10 o'clock in the evening on the 1st, there are more than 10 million searches for the words "Playing Cotton" and "Cotton".
It's just Penguin, and other music sites are certainly similar.
The sound source is naturally there, but it is not stored on the mobile phone, Ge Wu asked Guo Fei to go to the company, and sent the sound source to the penguin, indicating that it is not to pay and to listen to it for free.
"I didn't slap my face, I just sent a few pictures, to tell the truth." Gu Wei smiled, and then asked about the song. "Boss, send the song out now? Don't take money as money, let's still rely on songs to attract repeat audiences. ”
"It's only songs, no shots, what's the point." Chang Renhao didn't understand why Ge Wu did this at first, but now it is obviously a good time to grab the film, but he sent out the song with the biggest explosion.
I just listened to the song on the website, and I reacted that he had watched the original film more than a dozen times, and he could automatically make up the movie picture in his brain, but the audience couldn't, maybe after listening to the song, he hooked up with the desire to watch the movie again.
High.
Others also understood, looking at Ge Wu, how long his brain was, he could still come up with this kind of marketing method, but he didn't hesitate to agree directly when he answered the phone just now.
"You don't think of me as a chicken thief, this is to give back to the fans, you know!" Ge Wu really thought so much, but everyone at the wine table collectively "tsk", and they wanted to press his behavior to the means of publicity.
"Okay, whatever you say, drink less, and the roadshow will start tomorrow." Ge Wu said.
The people didn't stay any longer, and went home.
……
The movie roadshow is actually similar to when recording variety shows, they are all talking about daily life, the difference is that one is in the studio of satellite TV, and the other is in the cinema.
Ge Wu and his entourage choose the location according to the number of films given by the theater line, and whichever theater gives more will give priority to the place it designates.
The difference from the previous talk about "Prequel" is that this time we are talking about the daily shooting of the movie.
Ge Wu originally wanted to spit out the director, Gu and Shang, but these people led the topic to the new boss while chatting, and bluntly said that the screenwriter not only wrote the script well, but also had amazing acting skills.
And Yan Bo even said that Ge Wu has a talent for directing, before shooting, the scenes and props needed for the lens have been outlined in his mind, the shooting process is smooth, and there is no need to worry about storyboards or anything, saving time and effort.
As a result, Ge Wu, the male supporting actor who can barely be regarded as the fourth in the scene, has endured the most questions.
……
The theater chain cut the schedule of two cartoons on the second day, "Endless" rose to 20%, with a box office of 70 million on the same day, and "Clever Escape" won 87 million box office with 15% of the film schedule, becoming the champion of the day.
On the fourth day, I rode the dust.
Until the ninth day of release, the box office had a downward trend, and when it was finally released, the total box office reached 1.53 billion.
On the night when the final box office was determined, Feng Man held a celebration banquet in a six-star hotel in the magic capital, and Chang Renhao also made a prop by the way.
The golden number 15300000000, wrapped in a large block of ice and covered with a red cloth, is placed in a cabinet in its entirety.
"Xiaowu, Director Yan, come on."
After everyone arrived, Chang Renhao asked the staff to bring a hammer and smiled.
"It's not good, fourth brother, you come first, and then Yan Dao, Brother Fa, Brother Gu, Brother Qiang, Brother Rui, you can watch it." Ge Wu waved his hand and said. The eyes of several people he mentioned lit up, this kind of commemorative happy event can be done once, and the next time may be when.
Han Jianfa was also very excited, he had smashed golden eggs in other crews before, but when he came to his own company, he was really not in a hurry, some of them were just smashed, as for the order, it was according to what Ge Wu said.
Chang Renhao picked up the hammer and handed it to Yan Bo.
"Chang Dong, you go first."
"I'm just one who pays for money, why are you smashing this, just follow what Xiaowu said."
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
Chang Renhao is third from the bottom, Li Qing is second, Han Jianfa is again, Ye Wen is the last, and the volume is the largest.
Chang Renhao didn't say anything tirade, but simply thanked Yan, Gu, and Shang for coming, congratulated him on the achievements made this time, and wished him a new high next time.
"Here, cheers."
Two yellow glasses appeared in the white wine glasses, and it just so happened that these two glasses were still next to each other.
"I said Mr. Ge." Gu Wei stopped one of the big hands, his movements were very careful, he didn't touch Peng Bian's little hand, and complained: "You can't be an actor when you're on the set, and you can be a singer when you're drinking, Teraipi." ”
"It's good that I didn't change to soda, but the one standing in front of you is the champion of the first "Crossover Singer", of course, you have to protect your throat."
After Ge Wu finished speaking, he didn't give the others time to react, took a sip of beer, and asked Ye Wen to drink more slowly by the way.
Inside the edge, the relationship between the two of them is the same as Ming's, and they came to the celebration banquet together today, and let her mix up to the last position to smash the ice cube, and when the others smashed it, they found that Ye Wen was very interested, so they consciously left a lot.
Between meals, Ge Wu accompanied Chang Renhao to toast from table to table, and by the way, he also stuffed big red envelopes for the director and a few leading actors. Two million per person, Geng Miao didn't come, her share of Ge Wu was given privately, 1 million, twice the salary.
"Fourth brother, Ali really has a backbone, she doesn't make money anymore, and she only gives two films a day for half a month." After returning to the main table, Ge Wu said.
"I hope Ali has been so tough." Chang Renhao said.
On the third day of the movie's release, all other theaters except Ali began to increase their film schedules, and half a day late was a loss of millions or even tens of millions for the theater side.
Although it is not a popcorn movie, there are no special effects and exciting shots, but comedy has always been very snacks and drinks, and movie theaters not only have these, but also supermarkets, crane machines, video games and many other money-making facilities, popular movies can actually play a role in drainage for theaters now, if you count these, the economic benefits are even greater.
"Could it be that Ali knows that the trend is going to cut with him?" Ge Wu asked.
"I can't say, maybe Mei Dong is still waiting for me to take the initiative to give Ali an extra 10% of the box office."
Chang Renhao picked up and talked about the last time "Fairy Sword" changed roles.
After listening to his explanation, Ge Wu couldn't figure out for a while whether Mei Zhengyi would settle the account, and during the release of the release, he would rather arrange so many films for "Endless Life", which he couldn't support, than give his own movies more, and the single-day box office gap between the two is not a little bit.
"Regardless of him, the right to broadcast the movie network has been negotiated with Penguin." Chang Renhao said.
After winning the box office championship of June 1st, the edge is more confident.
Chang Renhao seriously called a few theaters that took the lead in increasing the film schedule this time, asking what to do if the theme of the next movie was not an Anti-Japanese War comedy, and the other party emphasized: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's still Ge Wu's script and producer." ”
There are various reasons for the success of "Clever Escape" this time, some say that Ge, Han, Gu, Shang, and Du are good, some say that Yan Bo is good, and some praise the cinema chain for its unique vision and seize the opportunity to increase the film schedule.
But the theater side has its own cognition, so Ge Wu.
There are many actors with good acting skills, and it is not difficult for the drama industry to find more than a dozen actors with better acting skills than these five actors, but there are not many box office hits.
What's more, these five people have not had film works before, but the box office is almost meaningless, even if Yan Bo is not a novice director, the lens style of "Clever Escape" is not small from his previous one.
Then, there is an explanation, the script is good, and the tool man directs.
In addition, there is also that wonderful song, which is still in the top ten of hot songs, and "Playing Cotton" is discussed by netizens every day.
What's more, in such an unfavorable situation on the first day of film scheduling, the fans of "Fairy Sword", "Prequel" and Ge Wu stubbornly supported the box office and word of mouth, which shows how strong this person's fan harvesting ability is.
People who have 100 million more box office than others at the beginning, can the theater chain not like it?
……
The day after the celebration banquet, Ge Wu came to Trend Media with the movie script that had just been "transcribed".
"Teacher Ge."
"Mr. Ge, congratulations, 1.5 billion box office."
After greeting the familiar front desk, he took the elevator to the top floor, and a man in his 40s happened to come out of Li Qing's office, and saw Ge Wu coming over at a uniform speed to shake hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Ge, I am fortunate to be happy." ”
"You are?"
Suddenly, a man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the office of the chairman of the trend, and he was so familiar that Ge Wu couldn't figure out the situation.
"Tang Yuanhang."
"Tang Dong, hello."
After hearing the name, Ge Wu knew that when the stock of Trend Media fell sharply before, a domestic investment institution bought stocks from the secondary market, and I don't know from what channel he ate Liu Xijian's shares in one bite, and suddenly became the second shareholder of Trend Media, and Tang Yuanhang was the representative of that institution elected to be responsible for trend matters.
"I'm older than you, let's call me brother."
Ge Wu: "??? ”
For people who call each other brothers and sisters when they meet for the first time, he feels very awkward, and calls out to Tang Dong, saying that he has something to do with Li Qing, and pushes open the door of the office.
The room was full of smoke, there were many half-cut cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk, Li Qing leaned on the boss's chair and rubbed his temples, heard the sound of the door opening and was about to get angry, saw him come in, and stretched out his finger to the sofa opposite.
net
"Isn't it 1.5 billion, don't knock on the door first when you come in, what are you going to do when it's 2 billion?" Li Qing got up and scolded with a smile, and poured him a cup of tea by the way.
"2 billion? 2 billion will call you to find me. Ge Wu said a sentence and explained what happened to the meeting with Tang Yuanhang just now.
"Don't talk about him, talk about things." Li Qing said.
Ge Wu opened the laptop and pushed it over, there were several documents in it, and said: "I got three more scripts, two TV series, and one movie." ”
"You're really prolific." Li Qing praised and glanced at the screen, and the two TV series were "Latent" and "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", and the movie was called "God of Gamblers". He waved his hand and said, "If that's it, you can go find a room to play games, the three of you will probably be watching it for a while, and it's too much of an eyesore for you to sit here." ”
What does it mean to sit in this eye-catching way to play games?
Ge Wu thought that he didn't seem to be a person who was too noisy, he moved forward, in a position where he just couldn't smell the other party's smoke, and said, "Xiao Song still has a schedule, right?" ”
""Zhu Xian", Wang Mu is inspecting the filming site, and filming will start in the near future."
"Zhang Xiaofan is set to look ordinary, and Xiao Song is not suitable."
"It's not that you don't know, how can the idol drama male be ugly, even if it is a public face, the stylist can make him ......" Li Qing was halfway through his words, and suddenly reacted, the two of them probably discussed related topics in private, and asked: "He told you that he didn't want to pick it up?" ”
"I don't want him to take it, the image of the male protagonist of three consecutive Xianxia dramas in a short period of time is too dead, which is not conducive to future transformation. My cheap master is not in vain. Ge Wu moved forward again, helped Li Qing close the file of "Latent", opened the one of "God of Gamblers", and said: "Let him match Fa Ge and act in a movie." ”
"You're quite good at thinking about Xiao Song." Li Qing glanced at the screen casually, male lead: Gao Jin (Han Jianfa), male second: Chen Xiaodao (Song Changhao).
Seeing this, he realized something else, closed the file directly, and opened another TV series, sure enough, the second male: Yang Liren (Ge Wu).
Li Qing closed the computer, took a cigarette and sniffed it, put it in his mouth without lighting it, and rejected the lighter lit by Ge Wu, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"What do you think?"
"So far, you've written five TV scripts, two films." Li Qing pointed to the computer and continued: "Aside from these three, they are all supporting roles, should I praise you for being selfless in order to praise the people?" Or do you understand that you don't have the confidence to resist the box office and ratings? ”
"Anti-box office and ratings?"
"Yes."
"As long as the script, actors, and director are suitable, isn't that a thing a matter of pushing the boat?" Ge Wu laughed.
"You're confident." Li Qing complained and continued to persuade: "In the entertainment industry, an artist of your level, TV series are not accepted by men, and the movie must at least be the No. 1 male supporting role, otherwise fans will question it, and the endorsement will be weaker." ”
Seeing that Ge Wu was about to speak, Li Qing subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "Your own artist is someone else after all, it is better for you to prove your strength first, in case any company poaches away the people who can resist the box office and ratings who are finally popular, you have no place to cry, and it is too late to praise others, you still have the impression of a supporting role for satellite TV and theaters." ”
The words are very sincere, and it also explains the current situation of the film and television industry, the first thing investors and satellite TV look at when watching a film and television drama project is who the male and female protagonists are to play, and what are the historical achievements.
If there is, then the price is easy to say, otherwise, it will be discounted.
Ge Wu knew that what the other party was referring to should be to match Gu Wei and Shang Qiang. This belongs to the cognitive difference between the two, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, he tends to blossom in an all-round way, while Li Qing hopes to become the number one artist who is sharp.
He was still quite moved in his heart and said, "Chairman Li, thank you for your concern." ”
"It's not outside."
"So, Zhang Xiaofan should let Tian Dong act."
Li Qing: "??? ”
