Chapter 326: Refusal of Wedding Sponsorship
"A distribution company has been approaching us for a long time."
Zhang Zhongtian said with a smile: "Didn't the popularity of movies skyrocket a while ago? ”
Gu Cheng nodded, "The popularity has indeed increased a lot recently. ”
Since the last time Gu Cheng was poisoned on the hot search, many media have gone to the Mekong crew for interviews.
A few days ago, the crew happened to be filming in Malaysia, rented a local shopping mall, and used more than 10 assistant directors and 600 group performances for the whole scene, with a large cast.
The movie tidbits that flowed out were all bloody fierce battle blasting scenes, which made countless netizens look forward to it, and the popularity remained high.
Zhang Zhongtian continued: "With the current popularity of movies, as long as the movie is not too bad, it is basically impossible for the box office to hit the streets. ”
"Of course, you, the producer of the king of heaven and the appeal of director Lin Tao, have also made many distributors excited."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "How much is the price now?" ”
Zhang Zhongtian looked around for a moment, and then made a gesture of "eight".
"The current highest is 800 million."
Gu Cheng nodded, "Although it is not high, this price is quite in line with the market." ”
Half a year of contact down.
Gu Cheng now has a good understanding of the film and television industry.
The guarantee agreement is called "guaranteed distribution" in the film industry, which is a VAM agreement signed between the producer and the distributor before the release of the film.
Now the market is fiercely competitive, and the profits of the film and television industry are very unstable.
In order to ensure the stability of the film industry, it is necessary for listed companies to gamble, and the distribution company is also willing to spend money to heat it up first, so as to make a lot of money with a small profit.
Since it is a big gamble, there are winners and losers.
Both parties have a minimum of confidence and cognition in the work, and will give a rational guaranteed price.
"Operation Mekong" is currently produced and distributed by Haina, so the box office only needs to reach 2.5 times the production and distribution costs to make a profit.
The production cost of this movie is 200 million.
The movie has Gu Cheng's participation and official escort, and it is estimated that it will not cost a few dollars to publicize and distribute it, even if it is calculated at 50 million, as long as the box office reaches 630 million, it will be able to return to its original cost.
If the guarantee agreement is 800 million, no matter how much the final box office is, Haina will at least make a steady profit.
Obviously, Zhang Zhongtian is also very clear about this.
"Gu Cheng, you are the editor and producer of this movie, you give your brother a thorough explanation, how much do you expect the box office of this movie to reach?"
Gu Cheng half-jokingly said: "I said there are 2 billion, do you believe it or not?" ”
Who knew that Zhang Zhongtian really nodded, "I believe it!" ”
Gu Cheng was stunned and sighed helplessly.
"Brother Zhang, now that the movie hasn't finished filming, you just talk to me about the box office, is it a bit rushed?"
Zhang Zhongtian didn't hide it from him.
"You also know that the military theme is in China, and the box office has always been decent, and the market has been declining in recent years."
"So the board of directors is very interested in this 800 million agreement."
Gu Cheng looked at him directly, "Then what do you think of yourself?" ”
Zhang Zhongtian said without hesitation: "I think the box office must be more than 800 million!" ”
"I think the same thing as you."
Gu Cheng analyzed it with him in detail.
Due to the strict control of ideology, it is indeed more difficult for the main theme to shine.
But it is undeniable that movies with this kind of theme have a foundation among the masses.
There are too many shoddy works on the market now, so once a good theme appears, it will be widely applauded and popular.
The difference between the main theme of "Operation Mekong" and the previous one is obvious, whether it is the relaxation of the political ~ political scale, the degree of violence, or the image of the military, there are great breakthroughs.
Therefore, Gu Cheng has a hunch that not only "Operation Mekong", but also military themes will be a big hit in the film and television industry in recent years.
"So my advice to you is that "Mekong" is worth a game, even if you want to ask for a stable signing, don't rush it!"
"Thank you Gu Cheng!"
Zhang Zhongtian patted Gu Cheng's shoulder.
"I won't say anything superfluous, brother."
"Anyway, I'm still saying that."
"When will you get married, I will sponsor all the wedding venues and banquets!"
Gu Cheng glanced at him and snorted softly, "Your wishful thinking is quite loud. ”
The mind is seen through at a glance.
Zhang Zhongtian is no longer shy about it.
"Fertilizer water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields!"
With Gu Cheng and Su Qi's current national status, getting married is not only about the entire Chinese entertainment industry to explode, but also about the European and American music scene.
If you can really sponsor Gu Cheng and Su Qi's wedding, then this wave of nuclear bomb propaganda Zhang family will directly win hemp!
Gu Cheng didn't directly refuse.
Marriage is a matter of human affection.
From Gu Cheng's entry into Beijing to the present, Zhang Zhongtian has been helping him a lot.
So he just smiled and said euphemistically: "Brother Zhang's kindness, we understand it!" ”
"The main reason is that the wedding date has not yet been decided, so the form of the wedding is still being discussed, and we have no plans to accept sponsorship for the time being."
"Of course, if there is really something useful at that time, I will discuss it with you in advance!"
There is Gu Cheng's sentence.
Zhang Zhongtian was relieved.
"That's a word!"
Gu Cheng nodded, "Let's go!" The annual meeting is ready to begin! ”
The most important part of the worker's evaluation of the company's happiness index is the annual meeting.
Happy companies are mostly similar, and unhappy companies have their own misfortunes.
Nowadays, most companies have awkward annual meeting arrangements, all kinds of forcing employees to perform programs, or embarrassing online comedy, as well as all kinds of vulgar game links that refresh the lower limit......
It's also a departmental honor, and it's peer pressure, so it's a bit inappropriate.
I got on it and was sent to the group by someone to take a video, and when I met the next day, I was so embarrassed that I had to buckle a few pairs of socks.
In short, it was a miserable one, and there was mourning all over the field.
In contrast, Lightning's annual meeting is simply the ceiling of the industry.
Employees don't have to be forced to perform on stage at all, the whole process is all kinds of eating, drinking and playing, as well as all kinds of red envelopes and awards.
On top of that, you can also listen to the live concert of the king and queen for free.
The annual meeting lasted until more than ten o'clock.
Gu Anran had a lot of fun, and even sang "South of Caiyun" and "You Look Good When You Laugh" on stage.
Since yesterday's hot search incident.
Although Zhu Jian was softly banned by the industry.
But this song "You Look Good When You Smile" has long been widely spread on major short video platforms.
In just one day, this catchy children's song has brainwashed countless netizens.
Even the whole network is kneeling and begging Gu Anran to make his debut.
This also made Gu Cheng aware of the huge market for children's songs in the Chinese music scene.
Before bedtime.
Gu Cheng told Su Qi about Zhang Zhongtian's sponsorship.
"Qiqi, Brother Zhang told me today that he wants to sponsor our banquet and wedding venue."
"You promised?"
"How is that possible?"
"I just refused!"
Su Qi was a little surprised when he heard this.
When celebrities in China get married, it is commonplace to find sponsorship.
Advertisers value the commercial value and influence of celebrities, and big-name stars value the temperament of high-end brands, which not only saves huge budgets, but also gets a luxurious and decent wedding.
A two-way choice between a star and a brand is indeed a win-win situation.
Since Gu Cheng proposed to Su Qi.
The endorsements and sponsorships that came to the door have never stopped.
With the popularity and traffic of Gu Cheng and Su Qi, this is also the best time for the brand to promote itself.
Therefore, it is common sense for brands to actively seek cooperation.
But no matter how big the brand is, Gu Cheng all declined.
At first, Su Qi thought that Gu Cheng was forward-looking, and refused to sponsor in order to protect his reputation.
But now that even Zhang Zhongtian refused, this made Su Qi a little curious.
"Gu Cheng, I have something I have always wanted to ask you."
"Aren't you strapped for money right now?"
"Why don't you accept sponsorship from the brand?"
"No matter how short of money I am, I can't wronged you!"
Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Besides, marriage is a matter of two people, and it is the top priority that we only have once in our lives!" ”
"If you accept sponsorship, then the wedding becomes commercial."
"I'd rather spend a little more money than turn our happy and sweet wedding into a mercenary business."
There is one more thing that Gu Cheng didn't say.
If the wedding becomes a business event, then the blessing will also become the sound of complaining.
Just like ah, which caused a sensation on the whole network at the beginning, not only invited half of the people in the entertainment industry, but even the entire wedding was full of sponsor logos.
Although he has made a lot of money and the coffee position has also risen, he has also been criticized by the outside world as a wedding for the media because of various wedding sponsorships.
was ridiculed by countless netizens for not having enough acting skills for the two to make up for the wedding; The gift money is not much, and the sponsorship is to fill in.
Gu Cheng didn't want his wedding with Su Qi to become a commercial marriage that everyone complained about.
Su Qi was very moved when he heard this.
It is said that a wedding dress is a woman's lifelong dream.
Most women have had an inexplicable plot about wedding dresses since they were girls.
Therefore, women's longing for weddings is far deeper than men imagine.
Gu Cheng looked at their wedding so attentively.
This heart is far more impressive than sweet words.
"Then our wedding, will it not be made public at that time?"
"Definitely not public!"
Gu Cheng said as a matter of course: "Fool, the wedding is held for ourselves, for relatives and friends to witness and share our happiness, and not for the media to see." ”
"So when the time comes, we won't invite any media to our wedding."
Su Qi subconsciously said: "In that case, wouldn't fans be able to witness it?" ”
Although Su Qi doesn't like publicity.
Weddings were an important moment in her life.
Along the way, many fans have silently accompanied and supported themselves.
They have her back.
So Su Qi still hopes to share his happiness with fans.
"I've thought about this a long time ago!"
Gu Cheng took her into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'll find a way to let fans share our happiness and keep our wedding from being disturbed."
