Chapter 319 The new king ascends the throne
The corners of Shu Chang's mouth twitched.
Sissi has a cold temper...
She is not cold at all in front of Xiaofeng, if Sissi is a cold cat in front of others.
When it comes to Xiaofeng, it becomes a clingy cat.
She thought for a while and said ambiguously, "Sissi and Xiaofeng, their relationship is similar to that between a kitten and its owner."
Huh?
What is the relationship?
Liu Tao and Jiang Xin were full of questions.
Only Yang Mi almost laughed out loud, she was the insider.
Cats and owners are quite similar.
Now the kitten is asking its owner, "Xiaofeng, what's wrong, what do you want me to do?"
"It's okay, I'm okay, wave your hand."
?
Liu Qianqian was unhappy for a moment. You were teasing the cat, so why don’t you wave your hand.
"Haha, just kidding, I was thinking that there is a role in the movie I collaborated with Director Zhang that seems to be more suitable for you, so I asked you if you would like it."
Liu Qianqian became interested, " She's Grandma Wang's granddaughter, right? Hmm, I do."
"You guessed it, this is it. She may join the group next month. You have to prepare early, and I will take care of you then. Leave it to Director Zhang Yimou and let him train your acting skills."
Liu Qianqian nodded happily.
Zhang Yimou is a master at training actresses to act. Many female stars with acting skills are from his movies.
Mou Girl is famous.
Seeing the other party's happy look, Chen Linfeng pretended to be unhappy and said, "After all, the new generation is better than the old one. I, a young director, am no longer enough to teach you, hey~"
Liu Qianqian hurriedly explained He said, "Nothing, I am not happy for this reason, I am..."
What reason am I here for?
She couldn't think of any good words for a moment and was so anxious.
When she saw the other person's narrow smile, she couldn't help but stamp her feet.
I've been fooled again, why don't you have a long memory? Sissi reflected on herself again.
Chen Linfeng once again skillfully appeased and apologized, and everything happened quickly.
Liu Tao secretly looked in the direction of Chen and Liu, feeling that the relationship between these two people really felt like a kitten and its owner.
Hey, I feel like I'm a bit addicted.
As the host, Chen Linfeng cannot always chat with Qian Qian.
After a while, Han Shanping pulled him into the circle of directors.
Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Fang Long are all here, plus Chen Linfeng and Han Shanping, all present are directors.
When Chen Linfeng sat down, they were talking about domestic audiences' preferences for movies.
Looking tall, it actually feels similar to chatting with a group of middle-aged men about national affairs.
Just talking about the mountains.
As soon as Chen Linfeng sat down, Jiang Wen started shouting.
"Xiao Chen, you came at the right time. I just talked about your movie. Why do you think the audience likes to watch your "Police Incident"."
"Yes," Zhang Yimou asked, "I also watched your film. To be honest, the plot is not particularly outstanding.
The actors are nothing at all. Basically none of them can take the lead."
< br>
Speaking of this, he thought of something and glanced at Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen had no objection. Jiang Wu was indeed not famous before.
He even picked up the conversation, "Yes, the plot is not particularly outstanding, the actors are not outstanding, and it is not a big production. How come it only costs 30 to 40 million yuan and can earn nearly 200 million yuan in box office in a week. "
Han Shanping looked at Chen Linfeng with burning eyes, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Feng Xiaogang doesn't seem to care much. After all, his box office performance has been good over the years, and it was he and Ge You who hatched the Lunar New Year film.
As long as you don't take the initiative to make sacrifices and make a film like "The Banquet", it will usually be achieved by both word of mouth and box office.
But he actually pricked up his ears quietly and wanted to know what Xiao Chen, who had a different style, had to say.
Fang Long stopped and looked here. Although he was mostly an actor, he was also very curious.
Chen Linfeng didn't think much and asked directly, "You said the script is not good, is it because it doesn't look good, or does it feel that it has no depth?"
Jiang Wen hesitated, "It's mainly because it's boring. At a glance, it’s too simple.”
Zhang Yimou said, "I find it boring too. The plot is too flat. The protagonist is first established, then the villain is highlighted, and finally the protagonist simply defeats him. It's too straightforward."
Chen Linfeng laughed, "Is there any Maybe the audience just likes to watch simple ones?"
Seeing Jiang Wen's rebuttal, he quickly said, "No, that's not comprehensive, there are too many viewers across the country. I mean, is it possible that some viewers like to watch this type of movie, and there are a lot of them.”
It’s okay
Jiang Wenwen swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.
Chen Linfeng looked at everyone present, "I have always felt that many directors are too greedy.
Thinking about making all audiences like their movies, and sometimes even want to cover everything in one movie All."
He leaned against the back of the sofa and adjusted to a more comfortable position.
One sentence does not seem to indicate anything, and it seems that many people here have been mentioned.
Okay, I can’t talk about this topic anymore. Besides, many people will feel offended.
Fang Long, as someone who is not related to the topic just now, changed the topic,
"By the way, Xiao Chen is shooting in the direction of a series this time, and there are plans later. Make a sequel?"
Han Shanping became interested, "Xiao Chen, there should be one, right?"
"Yes, it was planned from the beginning."
Chen Linfeng pointed to his head, "The rest of the plot is already here."
Everyone was silent, feeling hurt by AOE again.
This time Feng Xiaogang asked a new topic, "Xiao Chen, the profit from your movie this time should be quite high. With the sequel, the entire series will earn him one or two billion."
< br>Chen Linfeng thought for a while, "It should be more than that. In fact, the first film, after taking into account all the revenue, should be almost this number."
He sighed, "Our country's box office market is growing too fast now. , is a new situation every year, I believe that there will soon be a movie with a single film worth over one billion
At this time, if a series of movies with good reputations waits for two more years before filming, each one should be carefully prepared and not messed up.
By then, if the entire series does not earn more than one billion yuan, then it will be a loss. "
The big guys here were silent again.
How can a movie like yours quickly earn us ten years of income?
As for the latter part, it is even more called a Exaggeration, they are not likely to be realized.
Anyway, Xiao Chen has done a lot of exaggerated things.
Han Shanping felt cold again and had a headache.
He first helped to explain, "It's not that much. He's talking about all the profits, and then you have to divide the money. If it falls into the hands of individuals, it will definitely not be that much."
< br>You might as well not explain.
Xiao Chen is a studio, and the profits are all his own. Excluding the small amount of money shared by your publisher, how can it be said that it is not that much?
Feng Xiaogang looked at Han Shanping resentfully, as if he were looking at Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty. How could you say such words as "Why not eat minced meat?"
Han Shanping coughed and said, "Xiao Chen, why don't you go shopping again? I don't think you are very happy to chat with a group of old men like us." Chen Linfeng stood up.
"Then I'll walk around."
He really had this idea. He was having fun chatting with Sissi when he was suddenly called over. It's really a little uncomfortable.
In fact, with his communication skills, how could he possibly say something that would hurt others?
Well, one thing was that he didn't expect that these people's psychological defenses were so low.
I thought we were going to have a few more rounds.
If these men here hear this, they will definitely curse.
Is it because our psychological defense is low?
It's obvious that you are not a human being!
As soon as Chen Linfeng stood up, Wang Zhonglei came over. It seemed that he still had something serious to talk about, so the two found a place to sit down to talk.
"If Mr. Wang has anything to say, just say it." Chen Linfeng didn't seem to care very much, thinking that the other party just wanted to talk about future cooperation.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhonglei said something else.
“Original shares? Huayi is going to be listed?”
"Yes, the stocks we released will definitely rise in the future. I found you now just to make a good relationship..."
Wang Zhonglei boasted about the value of his original stocks.
Oh, calculating the time, it is indeed almost the same.
Huayi is also a typical example of how it failed from its peak. It was the first listed film and television company in China, but instead of doing business, it focused on real estate and entertainment.
Why are so many people unable to grasp their peak years? Chen Linfeng thought of Liu Qianqian, a typical representative.
He accidentally glanced in his girlfriend's direction.
Who would have thought that Sissi happened to look this way and saw Xiaofeng's eyes.
She tilted her head and asked silently: What's wrong? What's the matter?
Chen Linfeng shook his head slightly and looked back.
"Mr. Wang has said so. It would be inappropriate for me not to buy some. Just what you said. At 3 yuan per share, I will buy 4.8 million yuan."
Chen Linfeng doesn't talk nonsense. Anyway, he will make money but not lose anything.
Wang Zhonglei was still thinking about how to waste time so that the other party could spend money to buy it.
I didn’t expect Xiao Chen to be so ready to buy it as soon as he said it.
I didn’t know for a moment whether the other party bought it for face because he was not short of money, or whether he really thought it would increase in value.
But no matter what, as long as Xiao Chen can buy it.
Wang Zhonglei beamed with joy, "Refreshingly, I knew you had this vision, Xiao Chen."
He only regrets one thing now, he should find more celebrities to be witnesses.
The stock gods are buying our stocks, why don’t you keep up?
Hey, I was still too conservative before and didn’t have enough confidence in my own company.
Wang Zhonglei has now completely abandoned the "face" theory. This is Xiao Chen's investment in Chinese art.
He was thinking about how to use Xiao Chen's name to sell to others.
Chen Linfeng saw that the other party's face was uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He said hello and left.
"What are you talking about? You are smiling so happily."
Chen Linfeng walked to the main creators of "Police Incident" and saw them smiling happily, so he asked.
"Ah, director."
"Director, I was just talking about the red envelope you gave me. Thank you, boss."
"Thank you, boss, for the red envelope."
Jiang Wu et al. People expressed their gratitude with smiles on their faces.
“Hey, you deserve this. The box office earned by everyone working together must of course be rewarded.”
Chen Linfeng had previously asked Sister Mei to give out the red envelope.
Almost everyone has one, and several of the main creators of the crew even earned an extra salary.
Although movies make money and it is common to give out red envelopes to everyone, such a cheerful boss is rare.
On this point, there are veterans who come to explain to people who don’t understand, and always let everyone understand the generosity of the boss.
Jiang Wu asked directly, "Director, when will we shoot the second part? I remember you said you had plans for a sequel before."
Everyone else looked at Director Xiao Chen with burning eyes.
Only Wang Qianyuan and Wang Baoqiang are relatively calm. They have finished filming as villains, and it is unlikely that they will have a chance to return in the future.
Chen Linfeng reassured, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a next one in two years at most."
Jiang Wu was a little entangled, feeling that this time was a bit too long, what should I do? Do you want to maintain your current figure?
But it’s confirmed that there will be a sequel, so that’s good. He, the protagonist, can’t run away.
After the celebration party, "Police Incident" continued to make great progress.
On December 18, when "If You Are the One" was released, it happened to be two weeks after "Police Incident" was released.
At this time, the box office has exceeded 200 million, reaching 250 million.
In just two weeks, the box office potential has been almost exhausted.
The following "If You Are the One" instantly occupied the market, and in terms of film schedule rate, "Police Incident" only had 20% left.
Of course, "Mei Lanfang" is even worse, with only about 10% of the film schedule and a box office of just over 100 million.
Even if the reputation is not bad, the revenue is really huge.
At the same time, the overseas box office of "Police Incident" has gradually returned to China.
The total box office in Southeast Asia in the first week was as much as 80 million, and the final total box office is expected to be close to 200 million.
With the addition of Hong Kong and Taiwan, this is another mainland box office.
Kirin Studio can also get a share in these areas.
Although the share ratio is lower than that in China, compared with the buyout, you will definitely earn too much.
In the future, Neon, Bangguo, and other countries and regions will be added. If the copyright is cut off, as Chen Linfeng said before, the income will be 100-200 million steadily.
The most important thing is that Chen Linfeng's "Police Incident" has a good reputation in various circles. If the second film is released, the box office will most likely jump.
Just like "People on the Road", the preliminary publicity in these areas is average, so the first part is equivalent to the promotion of the second part.
Sister Mei is also organizing discussions on peripheral revenue such as video tapes and online copyrights.
This is the studio's first commercial film, and all revenue models are in the process of being explored. It doesn't matter how much money it makes, but at least it accumulates experience.
While reporting on the release of "If You Are the One", the domestic media are also discussing who will be the domestic box office champion in 2008.
At present, "Red Cliff" has a box office of 260 million. Although it still occupies the top position, it looks like a dead bone in a grave, and it takes jujube pills.
And "Police Incident" now has 250 million, and it is almost certain to reach the top.
Xiao Chen's first commercial film turned out to be a blockbuster with a cost of US$60 to 70 million at a small cost.
Wu Yusen, a Hollywood director, was also defeated head-on by a new Golden Lion Award-winning director.
What I said last year that "the script is not good" still rings in my mind. This year I have produced a new work, which proves what I said.
This is simply a certain online plot that has gradually emerged recently.
