511. Hollywood Collaboration! Three months off?
Of course Shen Shenghui knows.
Wang Cheng himself doesn't want to go to work, and Wang Cheng has expressed this idea to the outside world more than once.
If it weren't for an obsession, Wang Cheng would have paid 200 million liquidated damages and left, maybe he would have really quit the entertainment industry from now on, and he wouldn't have had an annual income of tens of billions.
If someone else said that they would quit the circle, Shen Shenghui would be skeptical.
Even Liu Qianhua, who was the first person in the Chinese entertainment industry, announced his retirement from the circle when he was in his fifties, but he did not really quit the circle, and he would still make a film and television work every two years to make money, or he would shoot an advertisement with a cooperative advertiser or something.
No one can really let go of the fame and fortune that is at their fingertips.
Especially, the stars who have been rolling around in Vanity Fair for a long time.
However, Wang Cheng said that he wanted to retire from the circle and rest, and Shen Shenghui believed it at this time.
Therefore, in the face of the boss Qin Yuhai's questions, Shen Shenghui didn't know what to say.
Qin Yuhai frowned and asked, "How much has the box office of the Matrix been in the past two days?" ”
Shen Shenghui immediately replied: "The Spring Festival holiday is over, but the box office of The Matrix is still strong, and there are still two or three hundred million box office every day, just like the peak of other popular movies." Now the total box office has officially exceeded 5 billion, and it is the first domestic film with a box office of more than 5 billion. ”
"Of course, it is also the first domestic film with a box office of more than 5 billion, because other foreign blockbusters have never had such a high box office in China."
"However, today's box office trend is still stable, if it continues to be maintained like this, it is not impossible for the box office to break 10 billion in another month of release......"
Qin Yuhai's smoking movement paused for a moment, and his eyes widened a little.
A movie with a box office of more than 10 billion?
Is this a myth?
Qin Yuhai immediately picked up the mouse and clicked on the computer a few times, looked at the recent box office trend, and saw that the Matrix still had a box office of 270 million yesterday, but he was speechless again.
Other movies that are still being released have only a few hundred thousand box office left every day, and there is not even a million left.
This is the box office data that should be in the off-season after the holiday.
The Matrix's box office of 270 million is like the box office of a hit movie at the beginning of the holiday.
If it continues like this, there is a real chance that it will exceed 10 billion......
Because, Qin Yuhai knows that the next few months will be the off-season of the film market until May Day. As long as the box office trend of The Matrix is stable, even if it drops to tens of millions a day, or even about 10 million a day, the theater will not be released. Because, even if it is tens of millions of box office a day, it is a rare good data in the off-season of these two or three months, and the theater chain will definitely continue to be released until May Day in order to make money.
So how much will the total box office be?
It's really more than 10 billion!
How scary is that?
Tens of billions of Chinese coins, converted into US dollars, are about 1.4 billion, which is extremely explosive in the entire world film history, enough to rank among the top ten in world film history and become one of the highest-grossing movies in the world's history.
Taking a hard puff of his cigarette, Qin Yuhai said solemnly: "What is the chance that we will buy the sequel copyright from Wang Cheng?" ”
Shen Shenghui: "Of course, it's much bigger than other entertainment companies. As long as Wang Cheng is willing to sell, we are definitely the first partner. I estimate that Wang Cheng wants to wait for the official release of the movie and the data of overseas release to come out, and then talk about copyright issues, which will sell at a high price. ”
"Although Wang Cheng doesn't care about money, he still understands the value of his works very well, so he won't sell them cheaply."
Qin Yuhai smiled bitterly.
Sale?
He's already offering billions!
I can't find a second copy in the world for this price.
"Now, everyone in the Demon Capital is discussing Wang Cheng's works! The exhibition hall of Twin Stars is full every day. ”
Shen Shenghui continued: "Wang Cheng's influence is still improving! ”
This is the most terrifying thing in Shen Shenghui's heart.
Wang Cheng has already stood at such a height at this time, and has created many record-breaking achievements in the field of pop music, and now he is the first person in pop music, and no one dares to object. In classical music, he has also been praised as the first contemporary musician by many famous classical music schools, and has stepped into the ranks of music giants with one foot, but Wang Cheng refused to become a music giant.
Needless to say in the field of literature, he has been praised by many Chinese literary circles as the first great writer in China since the ages, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this status is supreme.
At this time, the first movie shot in the field of film and television, the box office was so terrifying!
Wang Cheng's strength and influence have really exceeded the limits of everyone's imagination in this regard.
But......
Even so, Wang Cheng's influence and popularity are still rising every day.
It seems that Wang Cheng will not stop if he does not attract everyone who understands the Chinese language into fans.
However, Shen Shenghui knows best that Wang Cheng obviously doesn't want this.
I didn't want it, but I had the most.
Those who run for popularity, fame and fortune every day are difficult to succeed.
God it's really not fair.
Qin Yuhai closed his eyes slightly, two days ago, he also went to the exhibition hall of Shuangxing for a few hours every day, of course he knew how amazing and shocking it was to see Wang Cheng's works with his own eyes.
If it weren't open, he would have gone to see it for a while every day.
"Then you say, if I meet Wang Cheng's request, will it make our relationship better? Is it possible to become friends? ”
Qin Yuhai opened his eyes and looked at Shen Shenghui and said seriously.
Shen Shenghui paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Qin mean?" ”
Qin Yuhai seemed to have made some huge decision, and said in a deep voice: "What he wants to do, let him do it!" No matter how much I lose, I will bear it myself, will he remember me? Is it possible to become friends in the future? ”
Become friends with Wang Cheng......
It's something that everyone in the country wants to do.
It is what everyone in the entertainment and art circles, literary circles, Chinese studies circles, rich circles and other domestic upper-class circles want.
But......
So far, no one has done it.
Except for Zhang Hanwen and Han Xiao, who became friends with Wang Cheng at the beginning, so many other people who wanted to get close to Wang Cheng failed to become friends with Wang Cheng, and they were all strangers who were difficult to say a word to Wang Cheng.
The same is true for Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui.
At this time, Qin Yuhai made up his mind to curry favor with Wang Cheng at any cost and become friends with Wang Cheng as much as possible. Even if tens of billions of profits will be lost for this!
However, as long as he can have a good relationship with Wang Cheng, even if he can't renew the contract with Wang Cheng in the future, as long as he can maintain a friend relationship, Qin Yuhai feels that it is worth paying.
Shen Shenghui frowned and thought, and said softly: "Xia Xi has been Wang Cheng's assistant for a while, getting along with Wang Cheng day and night every day, taking care of Wang Cheng's life, but until now, there are no more than two opportunities to talk to Wang Cheng every day!" It's too difficult to become friends with Wang Cheng. ”
Qin Yuhai said regretfully: "If we had shown sincerity to have a good relationship with him from the beginning, we might have been friends by now!" ”
Shen Shenghui's lips moved and he didn't speak, thinking in his heart that they all treated Wang Cheng as a dish at the beginning, thinking of taking it casually.
Who would have thought that Wang Cheng would develop to the point where he is today.
Therefore, Shen Shenghui didn't dare to talk more.
Qin Yuhai was silent for a moment, and then made up his mind and said, "Okay! Since Wang Cheng said that he wants to rest, then give him time to rest. Let him rest as long as he wants! ”
Shen Shenghui reminded him: "Mr. Qin, this time CCTV once again gave a single notice fee of 3 billion. Dragon TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, Xiangnan Satellite TV, and Penguin Entertainment are all about the same price. There are other benefits of a single notice fee of 3 billion. ”
"If Wang Cheng is allowed to rest, our lost income will be at least 10 billion. Moreover, Wang Cheng's contract has only one year left, and it will expire at the end of the year. A renewal is unlikely. ”
Qin Yuhai understood, it is unlikely that Wang Cheng will renew the contract, and the best way to stop loss now is to arrange work for Wang Cheng as much as possible during the contract period to make more money!
This is the usual practice of many entertainment companies for celebrity artists whose contracts have expired.
Especially the current Wang Cheng, the last episode of the show can earn two or three billion.
In the next year, if you can maintain this level of announcement fees, then if you get a show every week, won't you earn tens of billions of dollars in a year?
Of course, Shen Shenghui knows that this is impossible, there are too many people, the audience is not fresh, the ratings will definitely decline slowly, and the market's pursuit of Wang Cheng will not be so eager, and the announcement fee will definitely decline slowly.
Moreover, after cooperating for several issues in a short period of time, several major TV stations can still give such a high announcement fee. But if forty or fifty issues of cooperation a year are all at such a high price, local stations like Modu Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and Xiangnan Satellite TV will definitely not be able to bear it, and they will be able to hollow out their family funds if they can cooperate for three or five issues.
Even official and private big capitals such as CCTV and Penguin Entertainment cannot cooperate with Wang Cheng for dozens of programs at such a high price, and their family background can't support it.
Therefore, even if Wang Cheng can maintain such a high rating and attractiveness, the announcement fee may only decline slowly, and there will be no possibility of any increase, which has nothing to do with Wang Cheng himself, just because the market cannot support so much capital output.
However, if it is properly arranged and Wang Cheng is arranged with a notice every week, it is impossible to earn hundreds of billions of dollars in a year, but tens of billions is no problem!
With the current volume of Rubik's Cube Entertainment, if Wang Cheng can earn tens of billions of dollars this year, the entire company will be able to rely on this year's profits to retire in the future.
However, Qin Yuhai's state of mind at this time also changed.
It is much easier to make money through Wang Cheng, he now has a lot of cash in his hands, plus the company is operating very well with Wang Cheng, and other celebrities have also increased their income a lot with Wang Cheng's popularity, and the revenue capacity of the entire company has risen by more than one step.
Therefore, Qin Yuhai's pursuit of money is not so eager.
Moreover, he has seen many of Wang Cheng's works of art, and has had more contact with some collectors and artists, and he is inexplicably more indifferent to money, and has more pursuit of art and fame.
Even if he and Wang Cheng can't renew the contract in the future, relying on the family foundation accumulated by Wang Cheng in the past year or so, as well as the solid foundation of cooperation with many TV stations, Rubik's Cube Entertainment will definitely be a hegemon in the future, and I dare not say that it will surpass Penguin Entertainment, but it is absolutely possible to be on an equal footing with Penguin Entertainment.
In the entertainment industry, what you eat is networked food, with wide connections, more cooperation, and naturally more income.
Money, status, Qin Yuhai is not lacking.
He now wants to become friends with Wang Cheng in his heart, so as to raise his image and status and integrate into the circle of higher levels.
Qin Yuhai closed his eyes slightly, leaned back in his chair, and said softly: "I'll go to see Wang Cheng with you later, and I'll talk to him personally." Don't wait a while, in the afternoon, when Wang Cheng takes a nap, we will go to meet Wang Cheng! ”
Shen Shenghui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin!" ”
Qin Yuhai can come forward in person, Shen Shenghui is naturally willing, he doesn't have to pass the word between the two, and both ends will not please at that time.
On Wang Cheng's side, the contract with the Hollywood giant Snow Mountain Film and Television was also signed smoothly, after all, Snow Mountain Film and Television had agreed to Wang Cheng's conditions, and Wang Cheng did not have too many other requirements, and the details were in accordance with the rules of the industry.
Therefore, the contract for the overseas distribution rights of the Matrix was soon signed, and the adaptation rights were given priority!
After sending off the Hollywood group, Wang Cheng and Xia Xi had a little lunch at random, and then took a nap!
Wake up from a nap......
As soon as Wang Cheng sat down and drank a cup of tea from Xia Xi, the doorbell rang.
Xia Xi glanced at it and said with a slight surprise: "Wang Cheng, it's President Qin and Director Shen who are here!" ”
Wang Cheng sat on the recliner in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup, gently shook the recliner, a picture of the elderly sitting and watching the sunset, hearing Xia Xi's words, faintly hummed.
Xia Xi opened the door at this time, Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui both walked in with smiles, greeted Xia Xi, and then changed their slippers and walked towards Wang Cheng.
Qin Yuhai moved a bench to sit beside Wang Cheng, facing the sea, and said with a smile: "You will still enjoy it, Wang Cheng, I admire your state of mind." ”
Wang Cheng didn't speak, but just poured Qin Yuhai a cup of tea himself.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Yuhai's eyes, this was the first time he had been in contact with Wang Cheng many times, and he enjoyed this kind of treatment, so he immediately took the teacup with both hands and took a sip, and said lightly: "Good tea, this tea is estimated to be only available to Xia Xi, and I can't get it if I want to." I heard Lao Shen say, you have been tired recently and want to rest! I think you have contributed the most to the company since your debut. Our company has grown a lot thanks to you. ”
"So, I listened and thought you should rest too. What do you think? How long do you want to take a break? I'm giving you a long vacation! ”
Wang Cheng glanced at Qin Yuhai in slight surprise, he didn't expect this Mr. Qin to stop making money? Really give yourself a break?
"Two months!"
However, although Wang Cheng was surprised by Qin Yuhai's words, he was not polite.
He clearly knew how much money he made for Rubik's Cube Entertainment, which was money that other super-giant coffees couldn't make in their lifetime.
Therefore, even if he rests for a long time, he can be said to be justified and strong, and he does not owe Qin Yuhai anything at all.
I just asked for two months of vacation.
Qin Yuhai breathed a sigh of relief, he had made mental preparations in advance, and he could agree to Wang Cheng to rest for half a year at most, although the loss was great, but he could bear it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng asked for a two-month vacation.
It's not short, but it's much better than he expected.
Therefore, Qin Yuhai immediately smiled heartily: "Two months is too short, you have helped the company so much, how about taking a three-month break?" ”
Wang Cheng smiled faintly: "It's okay!" ”
"Okay, then for these three months, Wang Cheng, you can have a good rest. The whole company will not bother you with anything at work. ”
Qin Yuhai said magnificently.
A trace of shock flashed in Shen Shenghui's eyes in the back, he didn't expect Qin Yuhai to be so generous and generous this time, Wang Cheng wanted a two-month vacation, and Qin Yuhai took the initiative to add a month!
According to the calculation of Wang Cheng's last program a week, even if the announcement fee is reduced later, based on a single issue of more than one billion, twelve episodes of programs in three months can lose tens of billions!
It's not a paper figure like market capitalization, but a real predictable cash receipt.
Wang Cheng also glanced at Qin Yuhai in slight surprise, and said lightly: "You are very good!" ”
A trace of joy flashed in Qin Yuhai's eyes again, and he said with a smile: "I am like this, I know how to be grateful, and I know that if I have kindness, I will repay it." You've helped me so much, and I've definitely got you covered! Okay, then I won't disturb your rest. For these three months, you have a good rest, and if you need anything, feel free to contact me! ”
"Let's go first."
After speaking, Qin Yuhai did not take the opportunity to pester Wang Cheng to make demands or say more, but after receiving a word of praise from Wang Cheng, he appropriately proposed his farewell.
Wang Cheng nodded.
Qin Yuhai turned around and said hello to Xia Xi, and left Wang Cheng's house with Shen Shenghui.
As soon as he left Wang Cheng's house, Shen Shenghui first contacted Qin Shangran, Wu Tong, Li Guang, Zhang Huizhong, Liu Jiahui and others, and passed the news that Wang Cheng was going to rest for three months, and refused the temporary request for cooperation.
And when several people heard that Wang Cheng was going to rest for three months, they were shocked!
Then, after a while, the news spread all over the circle!
Everyone listened to it and couldn't believe the operation of Rubik's Cube Entertainment.
