Chapter 146: The Victory Is Divided
In the entertainment industry, public opinion has always been a very important thing.
After the fire of "Let the Bullets Fly", everyone made a deep interpretation of the plot of Liuzi eating cold powder, and sympathized with what happened to Shen Feng when he first debuted.
"Boycott the Jiuding era! Such an excellent musician almost fell like this, everyone don't watch "War Hero"! ”
"I feel so sorry for the sixth son, I didn't expect Teacher Shen Feng to encounter such a thing at the beginning."
"Pure passerby, I only knew Mr. Shen Feng after watching "Let the Bullets Fly", I didn't expect him to be such an excellent musician!"
"I just listened to a few songs by Mr. Shen Feng, it's really good, did he also make those soundtracks in the movie?"
"Go and download it, Shen Feng's new song "Farewell", a touching song!"
In such public opinion on the Internet, "Let the Bullets Fly" really became popular, and in the first week of its premiere, the box office directly exceeded 300 million!
It can be expected that in the following month, it is not impossible for the box office to reach one billion!
And "War Hero" in the Jiuding era, perhaps because of public opinion, or because of some other problems, the box office suffered a miserable Waterloo.
140 million, the box office after the first week was less than 200 million, I am afraid that it is a good thing to be able to protect the capital in the future.
But for a large company like Jiuding Times, spending such high energy and financial resources to make a movie is just to protect the capital, which is no different from compensation.
And it's uncertain whether the follow-up can be guaranteed, after all, most of the box office data is attracted by the gimmick of cooperation with several actors.
Now that the first week has passed, there are fewer loyal fans of those actors, and it may be a little difficult to grow again in the future.
Bang bang bang!
Jiuding Times Film and Television Department, several senior leaders also held a meeting for this purpose.
The sound of banging on the table in the conference room kept ringing, and it was clear that the people inside were in a bad mood.
"I just want to know, who agreed to shoot "War Hero" in the first place?"
"Director Cheng's script has obviously been carefully reviewed, and it is obviously a money-losing script, now it's okay, this bet, I don't know what to do with this year's film and television department's financial report!"
In the conference room, the atmosphere was frozen to freezing point.
The one who spoke was the director of the film and television department of Jiuding Times, the real senior of the company, one level older than the minister.
The position of director is not responsible for specific affairs on weekdays, but only controls some general directions in the department at a macro level.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the minister he personally promoted would give him such a big job.
"Director Xu, this time the film was funded, and our company only contributed half of it, and the remaining half was invested outside."
It was the producer of "War Hero" who spoke, and he took the lead in shooting the film and some affairs outside the crew.
Who knows, when Director Xu heard this, he was even more angry, and the cold color in his eyes made the atmosphere even more stagnant.
"I really don't know how you got into the position of producer in the company, why don't you look at things from a decision-making point of view at all?"
"Have you paid attention to the company's stock price in the past few days?"
As soon as Director Xu's words came out, everyone's hearts were full of chuckles.
Jiuding Times is a large listed company, and generally the senior shareholders will not ask about the company's specific business, and they are very relieved and boldly handed over to them.
Generally, the top management will care about these things, and it must be that the stock price has fluctuated.
And this fluctuation, whether it is up or down, needless to say, can be guessed.
Spent 300 million to make a movie that may lose money, and the stock price will rise for you? It's really that the shareholders are all the bottom pickers who are afraid of my greed!
...
In contrast, the fire of "Let the Bullets Fly", Galaxy Entertainment has been comfortable to death these days.
The company's senior management has commended the film and television department several times one after another, and even the bonuses with Minister Liang and several relevant leaders have risen a lot.
And Minister Liang is also interested, knowing that without Minister Jian bringing him this script, it would be impossible to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly"!
On the same day, all kinds of high-end tea, high-end cosmetics and high-end red wine were delivered to Minister Jane's office.
"Hahahaha, Minister Jian really thanked you this time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that our company's great composer Shen Feng would also write scripts!"
In the office, Jian Ningshuang shook her head with a smile and said:
"I just helped him a favor, I didn't expect this script to really be popular, you should thank Shenfeng."
Minister Liang was in a very good mood, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Shenfeng's thank you gift will definitely be indispensable!" ”
"And he can make a lot of money this time, he can directly get five percent of the box office for the contract he signed with him before!"
Hearing this, Jian Ningshuang was also slightly surprised in her heart, five percent, this is a lot.
You must know that a large part of the box office revenue has to be distributed to investors, and Shen Feng can actually get 5%, which is estimated to be a net profit of tens of millions!
"Okay, Minister Jian, I'll leave first, and when you see Shen Feng, thank you for helping me when you look back!" After Minister Liang finished speaking, he left in high spirits.
"Okay, I'll tell."
After sending Minister Liang away, Jian Ningshuang held her cheek with one hand, and the humble scene when Shen Feng handed her the script inevitably appeared in her mind.
Thinking of this, she smiled dumbly.
I really underestimated this guy, but I didn't expect his script to be really popular.
According to the estimate of the film and television department, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" this month is likely to exceed 1 billion, which is converted to 50 percent, which is 50 million before tax!
It's only been a year since he joined Xinghe, and he actually earned more than 50 million yuan, not counting the income from his various songs, and even she felt terrified of this ability to attract money.
"Oh no, after tasting the sweetness of making movies, this kid should be obsessed with pondering and writing scripts in the future, right?"
Jian Ningshuang frowned suddenly, and an alarm bell sounded in her heart.
"No, you have to tell him about the stakes of making movies, after all, no one can guarantee that their movies will make money every time."
No, why am I so worried about this kid, it doesn't seem that making a movie delays him writing songs, even if he delays writing songs, it will be Lao Chen who should have a headache.
But the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", she also went to the cinema to watch it, and it is indeed a very good movie.
Especially in that section where the six sons ate cold noodles, many people on the Internet interpreted it as Shen Feng's adaptation based on some of his own experiences.
Thinking of this, Jian Ningshuang's heart softened slightly.
At the same time, he was also secretly glad that something like that happened last year, and he and Lao Chen fully supported him on behalf of the company.
"This guy made so much money and didn't come to invite me to dinner, really."
Jian Ningshuang shook her head, tightened her divergent thoughts, and put her mind back to work.
