Chapter 63: Looking for a Director (Part I)
Bingfeng's success made Li Xianyun realize his own problems and change the original way of operating the company in time.
That's how things are done, things are always evolving, and the old successful system may gradually fail to keep up with the new situation, and changes must be made.
At the end of May, Bingfeng's box office had exceeded 400 million, &bsp;&bsp; It seems that 600 million can't be stopped.
Several bosses are definitely making money.
Boss Cao, forget it, he is a pure loss.
But that's the sin created by your literary feelings, Li Xianyun doesn't admit this account, it's a big deal to make another literary film for you, and Boss Cao also agreed.
At this time, the editing of films such as Breaking the Army and the Martial Arts has also been completed, &bsp;&bsp;The review is passed, and the file is almost finalized.
Sitting in the office today, Li Xianyun took his mobile phone and began to post on Moments.
"The broken army will be launched on the National Day!"
Li Xianyun rarely posts on Moments, but this time he made an exception, not only that, but also had a lot of friends.
Putting down the phone, Li Xianyun calmly looked at the company's report.
About half an hour later, the phone rang.
Glancing at the name on it, Li Xianyun smiled slightly.
He picked up the phone, "Xiaoxiao, why are you interested in calling me?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao sighed, "It stands to reason that I should congratulate you, the breaking of the army is going online, but...... You really dare to fight against Shengda. ”
"Oh, you mean the night fire. Didn't I say hello to you? Li Xianyun smiled.
There is also a big production called Night Fire that is also launched on the National Day, which is led and produced by Shengda Media, and the female lead is Li Xiaoxiao.
Investment of 2.5 billion.
Hearing Li Xianyun's words, Li Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "As soon as your film comes out, our days will be sad." ”
"How can there be, &bsp;&bsp; my film has no box office of more than 700 million." Li Xianyun began to be modest.
"That's because the investment is also small. But breaking the army is different. "Li Xiaoxiao knew about the investment of the military bank, which was the largest production of &bsp;&bsp;Yisheng Media so far.
With their level, it is not a big problem to break the army and break one billion alone.
"Hopefully, &bsp;&bsp; maybe it will overturn." Li Xianyun's tone was calm, "The film and television industry is like this, my really most profitable film should actually be regarded as a ghost town secret, and even the total publicity and distribution does not exceed 10 million." ”
"But it's not industry practice after all." Li Xiaoxiao said, "Shengda, let me ask you, can you change the schedule?" ”
Hearing this, Li Xianyun smiled.
Sure enough, Li Xiaoxiao still told Sheng Da about his warning, otherwise Sheng Da would not have asked her to ask.
Li Xianyun didn't mind, who didn't serve himself? He said directly, "Rescheduled? If you change it, it will be the Spring Festival file, I remember that Shengda also has a film in the Spring Festival file, not only them, but also Jin Li, Linglan and Jingyuan will have a big production online. ”
"But the number of moviegoers in the Spring Festival stalls is also large."
"You know it doesn't matter to me." Li Xianyun replied.
As he once said, in addition to making money, there is also status!
won 2 billion in the Spring Festival file and won the fourth, Li Xianyun may be more willing to win the first place in the 1.8 billion box office in the National Day file - first dominate in the small field, and then compete in the big field.
Money has to be made, and industry leaders have to fight.
This may seem like a false name, but in the hands of entrepreneurs, it can be turned into real profits.
This is not a joke, the net profit of Dream Pictures was only more than 20 million a year, but the valuation was more than 500 million. Why?
Because at that time, they were the leaders of the Internet industry!
A leading position, directly greatly enhance its own value, whether it is to go outside to talk about cooperation, engage in financing, there are benefits - tell a story, what do you talk about if you don't have something?
If it weren't for the rise of Yisheng Media, Jasmine would not have signed such a cooperation agreement with them.
Li Xianyun's broken army line was not sure to win the first place in the Spring Festival file, in a sense, he was willing to compete for the National Day file with less intensity.
But now Li Xiaoxiao asked him to reschedule with a word, which is not very good.
Li Xiaoxiao also knew that this was a bit embarrassing Li Xianyun, thought for a while and said, "Just do me a favor, count me as owing you." ”
She didn't know what method to use to persuade Li Xianyun, so she had to use favors.
After thinking about it, Li Xianyun said, "I have never been satisfied with your performance in bed, and every time I feel that you are playing with me." ”
He made an exception and said this on the phone.
Li Xiaoxiao snorted and laughed, "Then I'll let you play well next time and satisfy your dignity as a man." ”
"Okay, break the army and change the Spring Festival stalls. But I can't help but make a film, so let's do it, my animal-focused children's film will be set for the National Day, and the film will invest 6 million, if you can't beat it, it's not my problem. ”
"Done!" Li Xiaoxiao agreed.
The Einsatzgruppen team filmed late, but the molding was fast, and the main thing was that it was simple and easy to make.
But Li Xiaoxiao wouldn't have thought that this was the film Li Xianyun really wanted to be on.
Just when Li Xiaoxiao was about to hang up the phone, Li Xianyun suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, do you think it is possible for me to ask Zhang Damu to be the director for me?" ”
"You? Please Zhang Damu? Li Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Didn't you direct it yourself?" ”
"Oh, the company has developed too fast in the past two years, breaking the military bank with an investment of 400 million, and the following Chaoying trilogy, with a total of 1 billion, and a single part is 330 million. My directing level is a bit unable to keep up with the company's development, and my energy does not allow me to always devote myself to this aspect...... "Li Xianyun is straightforward" to put it bluntly, I am a little unconfident. ”
Originally, Li Xianyun wanted to direct it by himself, but the situation of the platter made Li Xianyun sober up for a while, knowing that he was not as awesome as he thought.
The investment in the superhero series trilogy is too large, and Li Xianyun doesn't want it to smash the pot, and he has so many things to do - the company is developing faster and faster, and Li Xianyun is gradually handy in the position of boss, and the incidental consequence is that he pays more and more attention to the company's affairs.
As soon as Chaoying starts filming, he may not be able to manage much of the company's affairs for half a year, which is really not suitable.
So Li Xianyun thought of whether to ask Zhang Damu to direct - although his plot is a problem, the aesthetics are really awesome, the plot is weak, and he can intervene in the plot, and Zhang Damu has to come to the aesthetics.
"He smashed the pot last time he killed the gods, and he is still resting at home. Of course, it's not that no one is looking for him, the key is that the tiger will not fall. Li Xiaoxiao sighed.
It is not the first time that a film directed by Zhang Damu has lost money, but a cow is a cow, no matter how much he loses, there are still countless people who recognize him when other people's coffee positions are there.
Some people believe that Zhang Damou's shelf is still there.
Just like every fallen artist will indulge in the glory of the past.
Zhang Damu still has a film contract, and the price is still high.
Li Xianyun is so "stingy", Zhang Damu may not be willing to direct for him.
Li Xianyun also knew his own problem, and it was indeed impossible for him to offer Zhang Damu too high a price, so he sighed and said, "Trilogy, the director's fee is 30 million or 5 million plus 5% profit sharing." ”
It's not high, indeed.
Zhang Damou's salary for a single film is 20 million, and even if the trilogy is discounted, it will cost 40 or 50 million to be reasonable.
"I'll help you ask." Li Xiaoxiao said.
A day later, Li Xiaoxiao gave a reply to Zhang Damu for a salary of 8 million plus 5% of the box office share.
It's box office sharing.
