A few days later, "The Legend of Di Xin" was released.

The final box office was locked at 5.78 billion, far exceeding the 3.98 billion of the previous box office champion "Charlotte's Troubles".

But the problem is that the ticket price of "The Legend of Di Xin" is almost three times that of "Charlotte's Troubles".

In other words, the actual number of moviegoers of "The Legend of Di Xin" is much smaller than that of "Charlotte's Troubles".

Seeing this data, Wang Duoyu also scratched his head helplessly.

Actually, this data is already good, but it is not good enough.

"Charlotte's Troubles" invested more than 50 million yuan, which is still a situation with publicity, while the shooting cost of "The Legend of Di Xin" alone is as high as more than one billion.

The profitability of both sides is not at the same level at all.

Although "The Legend of Di Xin" has a much higher rating on Douban than "Charlotte's Troubles", reaching 9.1 points.

But Wang Duoyu doesn't look at these, he only looks at the final profit.

The profit of a film is 3% of the total box office and 5% of the film fund, and the remaining 92% is divided between him and the theater chain at 43%:57%.

The box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" is 3.98 billion, and he can have an income of 1.57 billion, and the investment in this movie is only 50 million, which is equivalent to a net profit of more than 1.5 billion.

The box office of "The Legend of Di Xin" is 5.78 billion, and the income in his hands is only 2.28 billion, excluding the cost of more than 1.7 billion, his final profit is only 500 million.

The income of 500 million looks like a lot, but compared to the risk taken by "The Biography of Di Xin", it is not worth it at all.

Let's not talk about the low profit, what if there is an accident one day, he shoots a movie that costs more than one billion, and the final box office is only two or three billion?

Isn't that a blood loss?

In the end, it just made a lot of money for the theater chain.

Thinking of the possible plunge in theater ticket prices in the future, Wang Duoyu thought for a long time and finally canceled the filming of the 'Fengshen' series.

This "The Legend of Di Xin", the shooting cost alone exceeded 1.7 billion, and there are many hidden costs that have not been calculated.

For example, the cost of publicity, script production, and some miscellaneous and invisible expenses, which add up to not a small amount.

And the income he brought did not support Wang Duoyu to continue to shoot this series of movies.

Therefore, the 'Fengshen' series has been marked in Wang Duoyu's plan.

"Contact the editors who wrote the scripts of the 'Fengshen' series before, and say that the 'Fengshen' series will not need to be written in the future, and then the TV series version of "The Legend of Di Xin" will be pressed, and the special effects will not be done, and the company information will be put in the ashes."

Wang Duoyu commanded Elsa in front of him.

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Elsa also nodded, "Okay Mr. Wang, are there any other arrangements?" ”

For Wang Duoyu's choice, Elsa was not the slightest surprised.

Wang Duoyu himself is not a risk-taking person, and many times his pursuit of movies and TV series is not to make money, but not to lose money.

And this Fengshen series is just a risky act he made in order to solve the company's profitability problem in the future.

But the result was not as good as Wang Duoyu thought, so it was not surprising that this series was stopped.

"There are no other arrangements for the time being, just pay attention to when Yan Fei's movie will be completed."

"Okay."

Elsa answered and walked out of the office.

After Elsa left, Wang Duoyu was thinking about what script to open today to prepare for next year, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Pressing the answer button, Huang Bo's voice came from the phone.

"Hey Mr. Wang, are you busy?"

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"That's Mr. Wang, I have a good script here, do you think you're interested?"

"Oh?" Wang Duoyu's voice raised a little pitch.

Not to mention, he is still really interested, after all, every time Huang Bo calls him, he comes to send money.

"Who is the director this time?"

"It's me who wants to try it myself." Huang Bo's voice carried a hint of embarrassment.

This made Wang Duoyu stunned for a moment, and then reacted to which movie Huang Bo was talking about.

"A Good Show"

Wang Duoyu is still very impressed with this movie, but this is not a particularly good movie.

The ability to absorb gold is not strong, so Wang Duoyu is a little hesitant.

Huang Bo on the other end of the phone saw that Wang Duoyu had not spoken, and couldn't help but take the initiative to explain: "Mr. Wang, although I have never been a director, everyone has a first time, Chen Sicheng and Wu Jing didn't finish it before, it's good, plus I have wanted to make movies for a long time, so I want to try." ”

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu decided to give him a chance, but .....

"In this case, you come to our company with the script first, and we will meet and talk."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll be there this afternoon, do you think you have time?"

"Yes, when you arrive, just tell the front desk that you have made an appointment with me."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, then I won't disturb your work."

"Hmm."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu began to touch his chin and think.

The movie "A Good Show" is actually not bad, and it has the potential to become a good movie, but many things are not good enough and need to be changed slightly.

However, the specific plot Wang Duoyu really can't remember clearly, but he only remembers a rough idea.

He planned to wait until he read the script in Huang Bo's hand to think about how to do it.

...........

In the afternoon, Huang Bo came to Duoyu Media as promised.

Wang Duoyu also saw the script in his hand.

Sure enough, it was the "A Good Show" in Wang Duoyu's memory

After reading the script, I found that it was not much different from the place in my memory from my previous life.

When Wang Duoyu put down the script, Huang Bo opposite him looked at him nervously, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?" ”

"Tsk." Wang Duoyu smashed his mouth, "You wrote this?" ”

Huang Bo nodded, "Because I have no experience as a screenwriter before, I may not write well in many places, Mr. Wang, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Wang Duoyu shook his head, then thought for a while and said: "Actually, if such a script were replaced by someone else to come to me, I might have rejected it directly, but if it was you, I could give you a chance, after all, we have been working together for so long, and we can be regarded as old acquaintances." ”

Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Huang Bo's face, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you, thank you." ”

However, before he could finish his words of thanks, Wang Duoyu continued: "I can invest money, but there are some things that you need to change. ”

"Mr. Wang, you said."

Huang Bo immediately sat up straight.

After all, this is the script he wrote, I dare not say that he is 100% satisfied, but most of him still likes it, if Wang Duoyu asks for too many changes, or there are too many things that need to be carried with Wang Duoyu's style, then he will lose what he wants to express, and the final presentation may be completely different from what he wanted to express before.

But he was worried that he would not change Wang Duoyu and not invest money, so he could only look at Wang Duoyu with a nervous face.

Wang Duoyu also saw his nervousness and comforted: "Don't be nervous, just say some of my own opinions." ”

"You say."

"First, black humor, absurdity. You either go for the absurdity to the end, as in "Wild Tales", or you don't want this part of the performance, and it should not be a combination of comedy, disaster film, romance film, science fiction film, ethics film, etc.

Second, the description of comedy in this script makes me feel a little embarrassed, embarrassing jokes, embarrassing routines, if there is no good comedy plot, you can actually ignore the comedy part, and it doesn't hurt to directly remove comedy from this movie.

Third, it's okay to be reasonable, but don't be so blunt and direct, the truth and philosophy are silently expressed from the film, rather than pulling the banner to preach. The script of your movie made the same mistakes that many domestic movies will make, either it has no connotation and pure nonsense, or it has too much connotation and too much force.

Fourth, the movie just tells a good story, but you can't remember anything if you have more, your script gives me the feeling that you are insisting on giving the audience a history of modern social evolution, but this is not what the audience wants to see when they go to the cinema. If they want to see the history of evolution, they can watch science and education films, which will be more comfortable and understand this society.

In general, the script of your film gives me the feeling that you are attentive, but you don't grasp the point, but for some reasons, you want to shoot too many factors, and finally present a four-dislike. ”

After listening to Wang Duoyu's words, Huang Bo was also silent for a while.

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your teaching, maybe it's because I haven't had similar experience before, so the scale of this kind of thing is not enough."

Wang Duoyu also nodded, "That's true, if you don't plan to change the shooting, I can also support you, after all, your personality is still okay, this money is nothing to me, I can trust you once." But if you want to make changes, I can introduce you to someone who might help you. ”

"Mr. Wang, what are you talking about?"

There was a hint of curiosity on Huang Bo's face.

"Jiang Wen." Wang Duoyu said these two words lightly.

In fact, there are not many directors in China who like to make black humor movies, and there are many good ones.

But no one has ever been as impressive as Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen gives people a very pure feeling, he just fucking likes metaphors, hints, and some things.

He couldn't wait to cram so many vagueness into his limited movie time.

The audience must watch this movie dozens of times to understand it best.

Such a hobby has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that if you succeed, you can directly become a god, such as "The Devil is Coming" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

The disadvantages are also obvious, sometimes there are too many metaphors, which directly make the audience unable to understand them.

For example, "Evil Does Not Prevail" that has not yet appeared in this world.

There are too many elements in this thing, and the audience doesn't want to watch it.....

"Director Jiang? If you can get Director Jiang's guidance, it will definitely help the movie, but Director Jiang's fame is too great, and it may be ....."

Huang Bo said it more vaguely, but Wang Duoyu still understood what he meant.

He was worried that Jiang Wen would have nothing to do with him after he got involved.

So Wang Duoyu waved his hand directly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you just talk to him about the script, and it won't bother him when you go back to filming, if he enters the scene, you won't have anything to do." ”

Wang Duoyu is very clear about Jiang Wen's character.

If he really enters the scene, Huang Bo, the director, will really be useless.

You must know that he once starred in a movie called "Looking for a Gun" during Jiang Wen's ban.

On the surface, the screenwriter and director of this movie are Lu Chuan, but in fact, anyone who has seen this movie can see it.

There are too many elements of Jiang Wen in this.

I feel that Lu Piercing and the whole movie have completely changed into the shape of Jiang Wen.

If you don't look at the director's name, at first glance this is directed by Jiang Wen!

This is still the situation of Jiang Wendang starring.

If he wasn't the star, but the director..... There could be no other director at all.

In the end, this movie is completely in the shape of Jiang Wen, and there will be nothing to do with Huang Bo at all.

"If you just talk to Director Jiang about the script, I think it's okay."

"Okay, I'll contact you to get acquainted, you can communicate with him more privately and see if you can change this script, if it can be the best, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, there is still some room for filming in this movie."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, then I'll trouble you."

"Out of the way." Wang Duoyu waved his hand indifferently.

He is indeed quite optimistic about Huang Bo.

In fact, the final word-of-mouth of this movie is okay, it's not good, but it's not bad, it's generally okay.

However, if there is a choice, Wang Duoyu naturally wants a better reputation.

If nothing else, at least make money.

In his previous life, Huang Bo received a box office of 1.3 billion yuan with this movie, and in this life, with the name of Duoyu Media, he can at least have a few hundred million more box office.

】

If the quality of the movie can be raised a little higher, it may be able to break 2 billion, so that the profit will be more.

This is also the reason why Wang Duoyu helped Huang Bo improve the script.

In order to make a little more money.

The two then chatted a few more words, Wang Duoyu gave Jiang Wen's contact information to Huang Bo, and by the way, he called Jiang Wen in front of Huang Bo and asked him to help.

Jiang Wen didn't have any opinions, anyway, he was just discussing the script, and he was patting his chest and saying Ou Gou Bak at the moment.

..........

A few days later, Wang Duoyu received an expected, but unexpected, message.

"Mr. Wang, "Urgent" is finished."

Elsa said this with a palpable strangeness on her face.

Although she knew that this movie was a very bad movie, she never expected that this movie would only take more than ten days from project approval to completion.

"It's finished? Then why are you still stunned, let Yan Fei hurry up and edit, and then let the company increase publicity, and hurry up to let netizens pay back the movie tickets that netizens owe us. ”

"Well, Mr. Wang, Director Yan said that you may need your help to pass the review of this movie, but under normal circumstances, there is no way to pass the review."

"Huh?" Wang Duoyu looked at Elsa suspiciously.

He hadn't read the script of the movie, so he didn't know what the plot was.

"What's the matter, what did he photograph?"

Elsa shook her head, "No, it's just a bit bad." ”

"What's a little rotten, there have been more bad movies these years, it's normal to be a little rotten, let him edit it out for review first, but then look for me."

"Director Yan has finished editing."

Wang Duoyu: ????

"Didn't you just finish?"

"Yes."

"Finished editing?"

"Yes."

"Awesome!"

Wang Duoyu knew that filming a bad movie would be fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

In more than ten days, from project approval to finalization, and then to editing, it can now be directly submitted for review!

"Show me the film."

Elsa handed over a USB flash drive, and Wang Duoyu plugged in the computer and watched it directly.

Just watched the first five minutes, Wang Duoyu felt like he had hemorrhoids all over his body, and everything was uncomfortable.

"Fuck, that sucks!"

Wang Duoyu couldn't help but burst into foul language in front of Elsa for the first time.

In just five minutes, Wang Duoyu felt that almost a century had passed.

There's no way to describe this movie, it's just a doubtful life!

This is even more outrageous than the "Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz" in Wang Duoyu's memory!

Is this really something that the can be photographed?

The scenes are simple, the lines are awkward, and the acting is weird.

That's right, a group of actors and powerful actors gathered together, and the movie made can be described as weird acting.

Elsa on the side also noticed Wang Duoyu's expression at this time, so she explained, "Director Yan said that as long as the acting skills are not particularly obvious, he will go through them directly." ”

Wang Duoyu: ......

"I see."

insisted on watching it for another five minutes, but Wang Duoyu still couldn't hold back and turned off the movie.

Look at you!

！

The thought of the audience walking into the theater with great anticipation and seeing such a thing......

Don't dare to think about it, Wang Duoyu doesn't dare to think about it at all.

At this moment, Wang Duoyu felt that his 10 million was worth it, because this kind of bad movie really can't be made by ordinary people.

But I don't think it's worth it, because to make a bad movie, do you need any hooking skills?

"I'll say hello over there."

After thinking about it, Wang Duoyu said such a sentence.

Yan Fei's worries are not without reason.

Even I, the investor, feel that I can't stand it, how can the reviewer be able to see it.

With such a bad film, it's quite difficult to pass the review.

Even if it barely passed the trial, if you don't say hello, it is estimated that it will be forcibly screened in two days.

Thinking of this, Wang Duoyu also took out his mobile phone and called Jing Tian.

"Hey, why does Mr. Wang have time to think of me?"

"It's not like I haven't contacted Miss Jing for a long time, ask what you're doing now."

"Ho ho ho, Mr. Wang will actually care about me one day? I'm afraid there are no other movies that can't pass the review, right? ”

"Alas, how can Miss Jing say that, what if it's a TV series?"

Jingtian: .......

"Okay, let's get it straight, is it a TV series or a movie?"

"The movie, an outrageous movie, I'm afraid that without Miss Jing's help, it may be released in two days."

"Screening? It seems that Mr. Wang thinks he can pass the trial. ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem to pass the review, after all, it's not an illegal film."

"Oh? I'm interested in saying that, so can you send it to me? ”

"Okay, I'll send you now."

"Okay, I'll tell them when I'm done."

hung up the phone, Wang Duoyu directly sent "Urgent" to Jing Tian.

A few minutes later, Jing Tian sent a message to Wang Duoyu.

"Is this what a human can shoot????

There were several question marks in a row, indicating that Jing Tian's mood was also extremely uncalm at this time.

Wang Duoyu also sent a message to explain the origin of this movie a little.

After listening to the explanation, Jing Tian didn't reply to Wang Duoyu's news directly.

"It seems to have a big impact on her."

Wang Duoyu muttered to himself.

Elsa on the side also gave Wang Duoyu a roll of the eyes after hearing it.

"I don't think normal people can accept this movie, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu didn't know what to think, and his face suddenly became weird.

Since no one can accept it, then if it ......
