Chapter 488: I stabbed it in the throat
For several days in a row, Huang Bo and Baoqiang took their agents to interview the spokesmen of major film and television companies.
Huayi Wang, Glamorous Wang Changtian, Bona Yu Dong, LeTV CEO Zhang Zhao, Alida Entertainment Group CFO and Vice President of Alibaba Pictures Zhang Wei, Tengxun Pictures CEO Chen Wu, Huace Film and Television Chairman Fu Meicheng and so on.
One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, the dates are very tight, and the major film and television companies are rushing to deliver money.
Golf, horseback riding, resorts, ultra-luxury hotels, membership clubs, and some of the most famous entertainment venues in the imperial capital were played by two people.
Refreshing..
It's really cool!
Huang Bo and Baoqiang only feel that they have never been so beautiful in their lives, and they have changed from actors to guests of major companies.
Even though the two of them have starred in the billion-dollar blockbuster "Looking for the Dragon", the Embarrassment series, and the Tang Detective series, their fame has increased greatly, and they have become a few top actors in the Chinese film industry, but they still have to say good things to the smiling face when facing the CEOs of major film and television companies.
It's like now, straighten your waist and talk to the bigwigs on an equal footing, talk and laugh together, drink wine and tea.
This is the quality of life!
When Huang Bo and Baoqiang contacted privately, they both shared what they had experienced these days, and they couldn't help but sigh on the phone.
However, the two enjoyed the enjoyment, but they did not forget the business, on the one hand, the sugar coating sent by the major film and television companies under them, and on the other hand, remember the words of Fang Ziheng.
Harmony Media.
In the office of general manager Li Xue, Baoqiang sat comfortably on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with half-squinted eyes, savoring the luxurious life of these days.
On the other side, Li Xue was wearing a black silk professional suit, fiddling with the kung fu tea on the coffee table, her eyes flashed and she chuckled: "Okay, don't reminisce." ”
"It's rare, let me be slow." Baoqiang grinned, patted his thigh with his left hand, and said immersively.
Li Xue glanced at him and said in a condensed voice: "When "Havoc in Tianzhu" is released and the box office is a big hit, it will be the real moment of enjoyment." ”
"Now, everything we are exposed to is being advanced in advance!"
Li Xue's mind has always been sober, and she understands very clearly that major film and television companies are optimistic about "Havoc in Tianzhu" before they give super-national treatment.
Everything is to get the distribution rights of the movie!
They bet again, bet that the movie can be a blockbuster!
As a director, Baoqiang's best response is to make "Havoc in Tianzhu" really sell well, turn potential into strength, and have the capital to really have an equal dialogue with major film and television companies.
If you want to do this, you can't bypass the main controller Hengyu Media, and you can't bypass Fang Ziheng.
Li Xue's guidance, Baoqiang understood in seconds, propped himself up, and took the famous tea handed by the other party.
While tasting it, he said: "I talked to the director on the phone yesterday, and the director meant that I should not rush and take a look at the quotations of other companies." ”
"The director also said that Hengyu Media is very confident in "Havoc in Tianzhu".
"That's good."
Li Xue nodded slightly, reached out to pick up her bag, and took out an A4 paper document.
In the document, it is the third round of quotations from major film and television companies for "Havoc in Tianzhu" these days.
Huayi Brothers, quoted 620 million.
Ali Pictures, quoted 650 million.
Tencent Pictures, the price is 650 million.
Light Media, the price is 610 million.
Bona Films, the price is 630 million.
LeTV Pictures, the price is 640 million.
Huace Film and Television, the price is 630 million.
Wanda Pictures, quoted 650 million.
Hengdian Film and Television, with a price of 610 million, and two months of free filming and filming in Hengdian Film and Television City.
In addition to Hengyu Media, nine other film and television companies have quoted the third round of prices, and there are three with the highest offers.
Ali Pictures, Tencent Pictures, Wanda Pictures, these three are all big dogs, and they all quoted a guaranteed price of 650 million.
In the office, Li Xue read out the quotation truthfully, and Baoqiang took his mobile phone to calculate it opposite.
After a while, the two came up with a box office income of 600 million to 650 million.
"I'll go, so much."
Baoqiang was shocked, and handed the mobile phone to Li Xue who came over with a trembling hand.
With a guarantee of 650 million, after deducting the film fund and taxes, 43% of the accounts will be shared with the theater chain, and the net box office income will be 256.3 million soft girl coins.
Don't worry about the publicity and distribution fees, after deducting the production cost of 80 million, the producer still has a net profit of 176.3 million.
Baoqiang's own studio accounts for 15% and can share 26.45 million.
Hesong Media accounts for 6% and can share 10.58 million, and Baoqiang Star Shareholders account for 10% of Hesong's shares and can share 1 million.
Coupled with his director's and actors' salaries, they can get a total of 39.45 million soft girl coins.
A movie, earn 40 million!
Is this the director's right?
For a while, Baoqiang was a little stupid, and the data obtained from the mobile phone screen kept refreshing his perception of the movie.
I still remember that when he filmed "People in Embarrassment" and "The Nameless", the salary was 1 million, and the discount was 800,000.
filmed "Tang Detective 1" 2 million, doubling.
The filming of "Thai Embarrassment" was 3 million, which increased by half, and the filming of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" was 6 million, which doubled again.
filmed "Tang Detective 2" for 10 million, reaching the peak salary of mainland Mesozoic actors.
In 2014, those who could get a salary of 10 million yuan could be counted on one hand by actors in the entertainment industry.
Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Wu Jing and Deng Chao, because they changed careers to direct movies, are not included in the list of five.
What now..
is only preparing for the first movie directed by himself, the script has just come out, the actors have not yet been decided, and 40 million will be earned in minutes!
Baoqiang was in a trance, not knowing what to say?
For a moment, he really wanted to promise Ali Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, and Wanda Pictures to get 40 million in his hands.
uh-huh
Bao Qiang bit his lip violently, looked at Li Xue, who was also surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Xue, I am the director, I must shoot "Havoc in Tianzhu".
I kind of understand that actors seem to be beautiful and high-profile in the entertainment industry, but in fact, they are not like that at all, they are still the playthings of capital. ”
"It's good if you understand, if you sing and you are excellent, you will act, and if you are excellent, you will direct, only the director can be regarded as standing at the top of the artist's food chain, and you can have an equal dialogue with the high capital."
Li Xue Yingying smiled, delicately pointed to the A4 paper, and analyzed: "Judging from the quotations of various companies, the guarantee of "Havoc in Tianzhu" can rise again, and 700 million should be stable. ”
"Hengyu did not participate in the third round of offers, the fourth round will definitely be shot, when the time comes, take a look, if their offers are not much different from other companies, choose them!"
"Mmmm, that's what I thought too."
Baoqiang nodded heavily, smiled innocently, and showed two rows of big white teeth.
I have to mention that Baoqiang and Li Xue, neither of them actually thought that the guarantee of "Havoc in Tianzhu" could rush to 1 billion.
It's not that I don't dare to think about it, but I can't think about it.
The movie is sometimes so mysterious, selling six or seven billion guaranteed, if the final movie is released and sells 800 million at the box office, everyone will say that you are awesome and praise you higher.
Your second movie is sure to sell for 10 guaranteed!
But if "Havoc in Tianzhu" sells 1 billion guarantees, the movie only sells 800 million box office when it is released, or 900 million box office.
Then send it!
In addition to the media and the audience, few insiders will say that you are really awesome, and major film and television companies will go crazy to lower the price of your second movie.
Successes are always successful!
This sentence is the most realistic in the film market!
As for Chen Daren and Lu Chuan, there are still people who invest in their movies again and again, but it can only be said that there are too many people who are stupid and have a lot of money, and there are too few directors who are famous and can sell at the box office.
Sanqingshan Film and Television Base.
After a busy day, Fang Ziheng took advantage of dinner time to deal with the group's affairs as usual.
Not at night, after taking a shower he has to work on other places.
These days, the young lady often stays in the director's bedroom.
In the crew cafeteria, Fang Ziheng listened to Fang Rou's report while eating.
"Brother, now that the major companies have opened 650 million for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu", the film division and the distribution department have evaluated the price about the same, even if we want to increase the price, we can only increase it a little bit."
"No, it doesn't have to be."
Fang Ziheng shook his head with a smile, put down his chopsticks and picked up a base-tailed shrimp, and said while peeling the shell: "You inform Andy that these two movies will be distributed under Hengyu Mutual Entertainment, and let her send someone to contact Huang Bo and Baoqiang." ”
The group's assessment is clear.
The total box office of "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" is expected to break 1 billion, and it is estimated to be between 800 million and 900 million.
A little bit of quotation is to slow down the increase in the guaranteed issuance, and throw out an attitude that Hengyu Media is not in a hurry.
But this has a drawback, which is easy to cause Huang Bo and Baoqiang to have opinions.
Hengyu headquarters withdrew, and Hengyu Mutual Entertainment took over the follow-up distribution competition, and the attitude became ambiguous.
Fang Rou's eyes rolled, a hint of realization flashed on her little face, and she grinned: "Okay, I'll forward your meaning to Sister Andy later." ”
Fang Ziheng smiled faintly, put the Jiwei shrimp into his mouth, and got up to go back to the room.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Oh, by the way, Xiaorou, you inform the crew, I will go back to the imperial capital the day after tomorrow." ”
"Understood, I will prepare the crew in advance."
Following.
Ice beauty Andy, as the chairman of Hengyu Mutual Entertainment, invited Huang Bo and Baoqiang to Hengyu to show the outside world that she is optimistic about the two movies.
Around noon.
When the news came out, Hengyu Mutual Entertainment offered a minimum price of 670 million for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in the Heavenly Clan".
Major film and television companies have been shaken, thinking that Fang Ziheng is very optimistic about the two movies, and is ready to put the two movies under Hengyu Mutual Entertainment for distribution, so as to raise the company's stock price.
After the 670 million guarantee, major companies have further judgment and evaluation.
First of all, LeTV Pictures withdrew from the competition.
In the evening, Guangguang and Huace also withdrew from the guaranteed release of the two films.
LeTV's withdrawal was a last resort, Lao Jia really had no money, and the two movies had to pay more than 500 million real money to win.
LeTV is now a broken gong house, leaking everywhere, and it will collapse if it is poked by a slight external force.
When Guangguang and Great Aim withdrew, they felt that they couldn't compete with Hengyu Mutual Entertainment.
Hengyu Mutual Entertainment 100 billion empire, Andy at the helm is resolute, she personally takes action, at least a few rounds of price increases.
Wang Changtian and Fu Mei are understanding people, and they stayed away from the vortex for the first time.
Huayi, Bona, Wanda Pictures, Ali Pictures, and Tengxun Pictures are still not afraid, and they will never give up competing for the guaranteed distribution of the two films through senior executives.
Another day passed, and Hua Yi quoted 680 million for "Havoc in Tianzhu" for the fourth time.
only added 10 million, and at the same time did not quote for "A Good Show".
At the same time, Bona made the opposite move, avenging the price of 680 million for "A Good Show" and giving up "Havoc in Tianzhu".
The riotous operation of the two companies immediately attracted the attention of insiders.
Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, and Wanda Pictures have held executive meetings to discuss the next direction.
"Hehe, Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong have a good strategy, this is to concentrate on assaulting one place and partner to divide two movies!"
At the meeting, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge all guessed the intentions of Hua Yi and Bona.
While the three of them scolded their mothers, their hearts were also very happy.
After all, it is still necessary to have strong capital, Huayi and Bona admit it, worried that the cash flow is not comparable to the three.
Coincidentally, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge made the decision to chase and fight.
"A Good Show", the price is 700 million!
"Havoc in Tianzhu", the price is 700 million!
The three of them are arrogant, vowing to win two new films in one fell swoop, and not give other companies a chance to share the meat.
After the price was quoted, everyone was waiting, waiting for the quotation of Hengyu Mutual Entertainment.
But it's not soft!
Hengyu Mutual Entertainment seemed to have disappeared, and there was no intention of continuing to offer.
"It's not like you're deliberately raising the price, is it?"
Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge were shocked, and they couldn't guess what Andy's idea was.
Just as they were about to send someone to inquire, the other two opponents, Hua Yi and Bona, launched a counterattack violently.
Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong are like people, how can they not see the greed of the three companies.
The two quoted the fifth round of prices for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" respectively.
Huayi still chooses "Havoc in Tianzhu", with a price of 750 million, and Bona chooses "A Good Show", which also offers 750 million.
Hard steel on the front!
The two traditional film and television giants are facing the film and television companies transformed from the Internet and real estate giants.
Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong's unyielding posture attracted Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge's eyelids.
I'll fuck your uncle!
A one-time price increase of 50 million, crazy can't be!
"Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, you two dogs!"
"Damn, I guessed they didn't hold back their fart!"
"It's going to fight us to the death!"
The invective continued to sound in the offices of the chairmen of the three companies, and the temperament of Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong really scared the three of them.
The three had to re-evaluate the potential of the two films, as well as make adjustments, and Xuehua One and Bona only competed for one film.
Think too much!
They don't stand a chance!
At this time, Andy made a move and announced to the outside world that he had won the guaranteed release of two films.
800 million!
Hengyu Mutual Entertainment's latest financial report disclosed that they each offered a guarantee of 800 million yuan for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu".
Huang Bo and Baoqiang also stood up and expressed their attitude, and they were very relieved to hand over the movie to Hengyu Mutual Entertainment for distribution.
How can it be!
That's impossible!
All kinds of question marks appeared in front of Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge at the same time.
Why was it won by Hengyu Mutual Entertainment?
The price is 800 million, Andy's girl really dares!
Fang Ziheng didn't know, could it be his idea?
Huayi headquarters.
Wang Zhonglei blushed his neck, looked at his brother Wang Zhongjun with wide eyes, and said angrily: "Brother, what do you say? ”
"Baoqiang is so bold that he dares to trick us Huayi!"
During this time, he was smiling again, and he was a brother and brother, and his feelings were all fed to the dog!
On the chairman's seat, Wang Zhongjun smoked a cigar without hurry, and sighed: "Okay, no one has played us tricks, the one with the highest price will get it!" ”
800 million guaranteed!
It is indeed stepping on the limit price of major companies!
Huang Bo and Baoqiang have not been tested by the director, they only have audience popularity and fame, and the new films they directed are at most at this price.
At high level, the risk is too great!
Wang Zhongjun's bottom line is 800 million, and he must not follow this price.
Like him, there are also Bona Yu Dong, Wanda Pictures Song Ge, and the angry and thunderous Fan Luyuan and Chen Wu.
Hengyu Mutual Entertainment quoted 800 million, which hit their seven inches at once and blocked the throats of five companies.
Ma Ma Pi, it's Hengyu who has won again!!
