Chapter Eighty-Five: Climbing

"Director Zheng is good!"

"Director Zheng, I'll help you buy it if you haven't eaten breakfast."

"Director Zheng, your film is so good, I've already watched it three times."

"Director Zheng......"

Since the launch of "The Grim Reaper", Zheng Yi's status in the school has been rising.

Shoot a short film with a high number of views, that is a new student with potential.

I have made a formal short film with a contract, and I am a potential student.

And those who have made official movies are directors with potential!

The content of the shooting is different, which determines the opinion of others on Zheng Yi.

If the previous voice of "Director Zheng" still had a bit of ridicule or ridicule.

It seems that everyone in Guangdong Province is called "pretty boy".

The current "Director Zheng" is somewhat respectful and flattering.

First-year freshman, directing the official feature film!

Even if this movie is not a theatrical work, but is broadcast online, it is amazing enough!

In the history of the magic school, there has never been such a young film director.

Generally those who can direct their first feature film before graduation will be called a genius.

Those who can direct their first feature film in the second and third grades will be called a demon by everyone.

And the ...... who can direct feature films in the first grade Sorry, it didn't show up, and there are no words to describe it.

Zheng Yi's move belongs to the vocabulary of magic art!

Of course, Zheng Yi did not lose himself in the voice of "Director Zheng".

He knew he was still far from it.

Of course, it feels good to be surrounded by people, but when you have money in your previous life, there are more people who please you.

But so what?

If you don't have real skills, all this is just a passing cloud and will eventually dissipate.

Ignoring what was going on outside the window, he now only reads the books of the sages.

The production part of the project "Death is Coming" has ended, and he is now in urgent need of recharge.

"Director Zheng, come and sit here, I've already warmed your seat."

A girl with a delicate figure beckoned to her.

"I'm not used to a wet stool."

"Director Zheng, come to us, we will guard you and promise that you will not be disturbed by others to study."

The two big men were happy at him.

"I can't stand being a man left and right."

still squeezed into the middle of the three roommates.

"Zheng Yi, we've all watched your film, cow beep." Cheng Daqing gave a thumbs up.

"Your film is very good, although there are not many special effects scenes, but they are not bad." Guo Fan is a science fiction fan, and he is more concerned about this aspect.

"Black Cat is looking for a joint venture company to do it, it's okay to pass, after all, where is the cost, you can't ask for too much."

"Okay, don't be modest, good is good!"

"It's developed in the future, don't forget a few brothers, we don't have high requirements, just give you the position of assistant director."

"Why don't you say you're going to be a producer."

"It's okay, I don't pick."

"Get out!" Zheng Yi used his elbow to push Cheng Daqing away.

"Zheng Yi, how much is the box office of the film now?" Jansson pushed his glasses.

"It's not too much, it's almost 40 million."

As soon as he said this, not only the three around him, but also the classmates around him were all stunned as if they had pressed the pause button.

Is this a pause series during shoot time...... Zheng Yi looked around, why did they all look at me?

"Listen, is this human talk?"

"Not too much?"

"That's it?"

"40 million ......"

"I suspect you're pretending to beep in front of us, and I still have proof!"

All three roommates squinted at him with disdain.

Zheng Yi spread his hands, what's wrong, what's the problem.

If there is only 40 million box office, it means that the film has failed.

After all, this film won $120 million at the box office that year, and sixty percent of it was still overseas box office.

Although this is a theatrical achievement, it was 2000!

Movie tickets were much cheaper back then than they are now.

Even if online movie tickets are cheap, Black Cat Film and Television, as one of the top three platforms in the country, has an audience base of hundreds of millions, and the box office that this huge pyramid base can support is not low.

Zheng Yi's booking goal is to triple the production cost, that is, more than 75 million.

It's still far from it.

"It is worthy of Director Zheng, who easily said what we can't do in this life."

"People are more popular than people, and the box office of 40 million is nothing in the eyes of others."

"A big guy is a big guy, and people's vision and goals are not comparable to us."

The students only reacted at this time, and discussed Zheng Yi's words one after another.

40 million.

This is indeed just the beginning.

Black cat video, inside the office.

"Sister Nan, yesterday's detailed data is out, look." Zhang Yue jumped up and down excitedly!

It's only been a week, and "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has paid off and started to make money.

Although the production cost is about 25 million, there are also interest rates, operating expenses, and publicity expenses that take into account the capital investment cycle......

Zheng Yi is very "economical", and Chen Yanan has not made a big splash in publicity, so the total cost is about 30 million or more.

Fortunately, it is an online movie, and if it is a theater movie, the theater will have to take the lion's share.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a theatrical movie, with a production cost of 100 million, has a box office of at least 250 million to pay off.

"As of 0:00 yesterday, the box office was more than 38.57 million."

"The box office curve is still on the rise!"

"Good!" Chen Yanan is excited, this is a big victory!

"What is the expected box office now?"

"According to the data department's calculations, it should reach about 81 million, an increase of 12 million from the expectation before the screening."

"Sister Nan, look at those two middle-aged greasy men this time, what else do you have to say!" Zhang Yue shook her arm excitedly, as if she wanted to sweep Li Zhang and the two managers into the trash.

"This Zheng Yi is too, this film watched the sword go sideways, but in fact, it opened a new way of life."

"Before anyone else had passed, he walked on his own."

"And now that there is a way, there will be a bunch of people following in his footsteps."

Chen Yanan also knew about the dismantling of "The Grim Reaper" by Red Sea Video.

Tear it down, tear it down.

The original is here, so what can you do if you dismantle it?

Chen Yanan is full of confidence, with Zheng Yi and Shuren, why am I afraid of your imitation!

"Sister Nan, if I can really reach this box office, then my bonus ......" Zhang Yue covered her mouth and coughed and smiled.

The girl laughed.

"You have to dig into the eyes of money, the important part of this project is not money, but status."

"This station has decided three statuses!"

Chen Yanan stretched out three fingers.

"The status of the combination of Zheng Yi and Shuren in the horror film and television industry."

"My position within the department."

"The status of Black Cat Film and Television on the horror channel."

"These three positions are the most important thing."

"With status, you can't make any money."

"Oh, it's so powerful, Sister Nan's pattern is so big, unlike me, I just want to buy a big house in the prime location of the magic capital."

"Then your pattern may be bigger than mine." Chen Yanan smiled bitterly, after all, the housing prices in the magic capital ......

"By the way, Sister Nan, should we push another wave of publicity and spend some money, because when I checked the information yesterday, I found that if this drama can exceed 100 million at the box office, Zheng Yi may break a record!"

Chen Yanan thought for a while, and then spoke with Zhang Yue.

"The youngest director with a box office of more than 100 million!"

As soon as this achievement was released, both of them were extremely excited.

That's a huge title.

And there's an even bigger key point about this title.

Because the last director with this title was the prince of Red Sea Film and Television!

At the age of 22, his first feature film grossed over 100 million.

Ten years have passed, and no one can break it.

How much effort was exerted by the top leaders of the Red Sea behind this achievement, only they themselves know.

If you can take this title......

Chen Yanan pursed his lips, then shook his head slightly.

"It's impossible for us to do box office fraud, it's too strict."

"It may be possible to do it if the company fully supports it, but Zheng Yi and Shuren are not princes, and no one will do this."

"And now the popularity of the film is already very good, and if you want to improve it, the efficiency of just throwing money is definitely very low."

"I pay too much publicity expenses, and it is difficult for me to explain to the chairman."

Chen Yanan thought about it, and finally sighed lightly.

"The category of horror themes is still too niche, too young, and the audience base is not large enough."

"It seems that Zheng Yi can only wait for the next opportunity."

"Maybe he'll be able to do it in the next movie."

"It's still too late, he's only 19 years old, and he still has three years to go."

"But it's a pity, the expected box office this time has reached more than 80 million, just a little bit." Zhang Yue made a gesture that would hurt the loss of the stick country market.

"This is the moat!"

Chen Yanan looked out the window.

"If you want to fill in the trenches, unless a miracle happens!"
