Chapter 123: The second film is released
Lily failed to persuade Lin Shirui to change her mind after all, but Lin Shirui knew her temperament very well, and was afraid that she would run to Si Mingyu to theorize in private, and told her not to get involved in this matter.
If you want to ask Lin Shirui why she did this, she can't tell herself, after all, feelings are unreasonable. Anyway, she thinks it's good now.
Expo source mansion restaurant, private room on the second floor.
Si Mingyu, Lin Shirui, Yang Mu, and Zhuang Feida sat around the table, enjoying the food and talking about the new film.
Zhuang Feida had dinner with Si Mingyu for the first time.
In this film, Si Mingyu asked her for a very important supporting role, and she lived up to expectations and won the approval of the crew.
The total investment of this film is 500 million, and the two of them each invested 50 million, and now the film is finished, and the follow-up publicity and release will be considered. Because Si Mingyu sent a special person to follow the team, although this film does not dare to guarantee that it did not spend a penny, at least most of the funds were invested in shooting, which ensures the quality of the film.
Today, she is here on behalf of other investors, hoping that Si Mingyu can support the cinema schedule.
"Is there anything else besides this? Let's talk about something. ”
For Si Mingyu, the period of relying on investment in films to make profits has passed, mainly because the profits have been unstable for a long time and there are new profit growth points. So after Yang Mu's film is settled, he is not ready to get involved in the entertainment industry anymore.
"Everything else can be solved." Yang Mu replied.
Asking for people is not in vain, Si Mingyu has paid the resources of the cinema chain, and other investors want to make profits.
"Okay, then follow the rules of the industry, I'll call now." Si Mingyu immediately took out his mobile phone and called the person in charge of the department in charge of the familiar department.
"Solved." After chatting with the other party for a while, Si Mingyu said to Yang Mu.
As a theater, it is definitely necessary to give more films that are most likely to make money, even if it is related, it is impossible for them to give up this principle. However, among the remaining films, which one has one more schedule or which one has a better time, it is different.
Even if so many theaters schedule two or three more shows every day, the cumulative box office income will be a lot, and the most important thing is that only by watching more people can a word-of-mouth effect be formed, and only then can follow-up people go to watch.
"Mr. Si, I brought a few more scripts this time." Yang Mu and Si Mingyu have tasted the sweetness of their cooperation, because the other party not only invests happily but also does not have any indiscriminate behavior except for ensuring the quality of the film, there is really no such investor circle.
"Sister Shogun, my investment in the film is just for the nature of playing tickets, and I am not going to touch this again in a short time." Si Mingyu directly rejected Yang Mi's request.
"That sister knows, if you are interested in it in the future, you can contact my sister." Yang Mi didn't care.
For a rich second generation like Si Mingyu, it is normal for the wind to rain for a while, and investment depends on mood. Many of them invest in the entertainment industry with clear projects, that is, they go to the indescribable rules.
After the matter was discussed, Si Mingyu didn't stay long, for him, investment is a simple business, and your star is not worth my time.
In the next time, Si Mingyu took Lin Shirui to start the tour of the house again.
Since people can't rent a house anymore after talking to themselves, after looking around, they chose a 450-square-meter house in Binjiang Triumphal Arch, with five bedrooms, three living rooms and four bathrooms to see the river view, and the most important thing is to move in with a bag after decoration.
It's only 80 million and there are two parking spaces, which is really not expensive in comparison.
"That, that, don't be angry when I'm done with something." Lin Shirui hugged Si Mingyu's arm and said coquettishly.
"I don't want to be angry, can you just stop talking." Si Mingyu rolled his eyes, how did this kid become like this now.
"No, you'll have to listen to me." Lin Shirui stopped hearing it.
"Then you just say it."
Don't look at Lin Shirui's appearance, she is very lustful, but after getting along for a long time, you know that she has a very soft temperament and some comic attributes. In terms of age, she is three years old, but in fact, when the two are together, they look like they are several years younger than him.
However, Zhang Ningxi's personality is very independent, and the first thing she thinks about when she encounters something is to solve it by herself, a typical science student's thinking. Usually she looks like a lady and speaks slowly, but when she encounters that situation in the elevator of the Oriental Pearl, her first reaction is to dare to beat my husband and I will stone you to death.
"I was thinking, can I let Lily stay with me?" Lin Shirui whispered.
"Do you think so?" Si Mingyu asked rhetorically.
"I said of course you can, just if you agree." Lin Shirui immediately became happy.
"Let her find a serious job within a week." Si Mingyu didn't care.
Since the house is for Lin Shirui to live in, she has no problem if she wants to have someone to accompany her, and the distance between the other bedroom and the master bedroom in a 450-square-meter house is even farther than the neighbor's house across the wall from ordinary people.
While looking at the house, Si Mingyu also bought a small three-room room of more than 120 square meters for Bai Qing to live in. This house in Pudong New Area is worth eight million, and most of Hu Piao doesn't have to think about it for the rest of his life, even Bai Qing herself knows that it is impossible to expect Bai to give her.
A few months later, the film he invested in was released on May Day.
chose this time because there were no top blockbusters expected by the audience during the same period, and there were only two first-line blockbusters, which was a godsend.
The investment of 500 million is not small, and the cast of first-line traffic stars and powerful stars can be regarded as taking care of all aspects, the most important thing is that under strict supervision, there is no poison in this film, and there is nothing to complain about.
Although there is nothing particularly outstanding about the rules, the sufficient funds ensure that both the scenes and special effects have reached the level above, and everyone can watch the commercial film coolly.
So at the beginning of the release, it achieved a good reputation, and most of the people who watched it felt that this was a qualified popcorn movie, and this evaluation was enough. If you want to watch the others after watching those two blockbusters, then come and buy tickets, which may not be good but you will definitely not feel lost.
The global box office of the film finally stabilized at 1.4 billion, plus other revenues such as advertising, and finally the producer got 800 million. After deducting the cost, Si Mingyu made a profit of less than 30 million, which is why he gave up investing in the film, and he made too little money in comparison.
Of course, this one can't be compared with the first part, the investment cost of that film itself is small, and in the later stage, Si Mingyu used the relationship to force it, and the rest of the crew gave up the extra share to make him profit so much, which is a special case.
