Chapter 599 Online and offline, Xiangyang wants it all!
"Master, please, fill it up."
It was the first time I sat in Xiangyang's car and I hadn't said a word.
After driving out of Enlight Pictures, Xiangyang drove the Passat straight to the gas station.
No more.
The boss of Huaying is about to go down and push the cart.
When he returned to the car, Han Sanping clicked his tongue.
He really couldn't guess how high Xiangyang's income was.
After all, every other line is like a mountain.
But just considering the private jet treatment that this young man can enjoy, his income in the Hermès Group is unimaginable.
Or rather.
It is by no means a good media that can be measured by the apparent income.
And
“If only I had the courage to sit in the back seat, that would be great.”
Watching Xiangyang restart the engine and slowly drive out of the gas station, Han Sanping felt What did I miss?
"Mr. Han, please continue." Xiang Yang spoke after driving into the ring road.
"Let's do this." Han Sanping retracted his suspicions, lowered his voice and said, "Well, there is something I want to talk to you about first."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "What?" The box office of "The Piano" was not ideal, so..."
Let’s talk about the box office of the domestic art film market.
That’s true, as big as the dream is, the reality is so fragmented.
After two heavyweight commercial films were specially postponed for it, the box office is still half-dead.
Uh.
Compared to commercial films.
"I can understand this. After all, in terms of box office today, the results of "The Piano" are indeed unconvincing."
Having withdrawn from Huayi's stocks Xiangyang is not too entangled in this matter.
Moreover, this incident cannot be blamed on Han Sanping alone.
The film selection committee is not his alone.
However, his words made Han Sanping feel his chest relax, "As long as you understand."
"Haha, I understand, but I don't accept it."
Xiang Yang answered and couldn't help but laugh.
Han Sanping was a little stunned.
No, what did you say?
“The market has given enough preferential treatment to commercial films.” Xiang Yang expressed his inner thoughts.
The box office performance of "The Piano of Steel" was indeed not good.
But what about looking at it the other way around?
Except for "Love in the Hawthorn Tree", a literary film by Zhang Mouzi, it is one of the few Chinese-language films that was successful in 2010.
Previously, at the Cannes Film Festival, Jean Qin Hao won the Cannes Best Actor for "Rizhao Chongqing".
The box office is only 3 million.
In general, in Xiang Yang's opinion, "The Piano" performed at the box office.
In today's environment, it is already good enough.
Movie investors can choose to be aggressive, and the Chinese-language film market can choose to be excited about the box office of more than 20 movies exceeding 100 million.
However, a large number of low-cost and small productions have become "one-day tours".
If at this time, even the selection of awards is biased towards commercial films, then it really is
After watching Xiang Yang say what he said, he stopped talking.
Han Sanping sighed, "Xiaoxiang, it doesn't matter what you say to me, I can understand your thoughts.
But you also understand the opinions of some people on the film selection committee. "
Box office results of more than 600 million.
Even if "Earthquake" has various flaws such as commercial implantation, some people will subjectively ignore it in the face of such results.
That’s the problem.
“Understand? Understand what? ”
Xiang Yang didn't even bother to listen to such views.
But he didn’t say anything.
After all, the help China Film has provided to Hermès Film Investment Company in its development in China is obvious to all.
At the very least, it saves a lot of effort.
That’s good, Xiang Yang thought.
But after thinking about it, he sent Han Sanping to the door of Huaying and asked him to get off the car. Xiangyang directly declined his repeated invitations.
Driving the car, we left directly.
I didn’t bother to stop for two more seconds.
"Still young and impatient."
Standing at the door of Huaying, looking at the car driving away, Han Sanping sighed with emotion.
After he finished speaking, he was about to move closer to Huaying when he suddenly noticed that the security guard at the door and several employees entering and leaving were looking at him in astonishment.
Han Sanping grinned awkwardly.
Uh.
How should I explain that I wasn’t blown off that car?
Fortunately, there are no reporters.
"You mean? The Oscar film selection has already been decided?!"
Little John, who had been busy at home for a day, heard Xiang Yang mention this matter when he returned home, but he was not as calm as Xiang Yang acted.
If "The Piano" can be selected into the list of Chinese-language films competing for Oscars.
There will be 4 movies related to him this year.
It would be abnormal for him not to be disappointed.
"That's not true." Shrugging his shoulders, Xiangyang said to Little John:
"Okay, there is no need to be too concerned about this matter. The answer will naturally come out when the results come out."
Little John shook his head speechlessly.
How can box office determine everything?
Looking at the rate of return alone, "The Piano", with an overall box office of around 20 million, is really no worse than "Earthquake".
Don’t forget, a movie is not only about the cost of shooting, but also the cost of publicity and distribution.
Compared with the rate of return, "The Piano of Steel" is not bad.
As for the box office, Little John also has something to say.
Having carefully researched the box office of "Earthquake", he could see the fishiness in it at a glance.
It can be said that without the threat of "Inception" and "Shrek 4", "Earthquake" will have at least 80% of the screening resources during its release period.
"Haha, then you have to say this. "The Intouchables" received even more preferential treatment when it was released in France." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
“I didn’t say it was wrong to do so.” Little John smiled sarcastically.
In fact, everyone is the same when it comes to protecting local films.
There is nothing to talk about.
After pausing for a few seconds, Little John was still a little unwilling and asked Xiangyang:
"So what do we do?"
How?
Bee Shaffer, who was standing aside, also cast a concerned look.
She wants to hear it too.
Until then, Xiangyang was led astray by Little John again and focused his main energy on the small circle of movies.
As the saying goes, outsiders just watch the fun.
An expert knows the way.
Don't look at Huayi's net profit of about 80 million yuan from the box office revenue alone with "Earthquake".
Coupled with the income from embedded advertising, its overall profit is definitely over 100 million.
But unfortunately, Huayi's operating income, operating profit and total profit are all on a downward trend.
Even the financial report for the first half of the year showed that total operating profit dropped by 67.28%.
Compared with the prosperous financial reports of HYS and Hermès Film Investment Company, this pales into insignificance.
Nothing at all.
Under the gaze of her and Little John, Xiang Yang also gave the answer.
Since we can directly cooperate with Enlight Pictures to own Station A, we have no problem spending money to buy Station B. Is it because we have more money?
"Don't forget, our biggest advantage is that we have enough time and resources to integrate."
"?"
Little John was stunned.
Integrate what?
“Of course we are creating CC-centered network streaming media.”
Xiang Yang raised an eyebrow. This would give him a two-year first-mover advantage over Netflix, the giant streaming media company in the future.
If you can't occupy a place in this huge market.
That’s really all for nothing.
“You don’t want me to follow LeTV and grab copyrights from everywhere, right?” Little John swallowed his throat.
Since CC announced its cooperation with Enlight Pictures.
The wealthy boss Jia called him frequently.
Little John was still quite embarrassed when he stabbed someone in the back just after eating a meal.
"Even others can see that there is a huge market here. Are you willing to make only this little?" Xiang Yang glanced at this guy with disdain. "Have you sold the copyrights of "Black Swan" and "The Social Network"?"
"No." Little John shook his head. The online copyrights of these two movies are not owned by Hermès Films. investment company.
He wanted to sell, but he wasn't qualified.
The online audiovisual copyright of "Downton Abbey" is also in the hands of ITV.
“Get the Internet copyright as soon as possible before it is released.” Xiang Yang said:
“In terms of funding, I will coordinate with Axel. In addition, your layout must be Zoom in a little bit, maybe you can compete with Disney in this field in the future.”
“Haha, that’s right”
Little John felt that the sugar pancakes he had eaten in the morning made him choke a little.
Also Disney.
Really good at blowing.
For the sake of the peripheral copyrights you want, I
forget it and won’t complain.
Wait for the BBQ and let Xiang Yang do more.
The three of them were chatting in the room, and lively sounds came from the living room downstairs.
Lao Xiang and Lao Zhao are here.
Hearing the movement downstairs, Xiangyang glanced at his watch.
It is inconvenient to gather in the suburbs.
Driving back from Huaying, we had just talked about business for a while, and it was time for dinner again.
Today’s meal is nothing to be careless about.
It’s rare for a family to get together together.
“Okay, let me sort out my thoughts. Let’s go downstairs to help first.” Xiangyang sat up from the chair and signaled to Little John not to be lazy. .
He has been clamoring about the skewers.
"Boss, I very much support your idea." Bea Shaffer, who had been silent all this time, suddenly expressed her stance.
Xiang Yang said "hmm".
“Let’s go, let’s go eat first.”
“Okay, Boss.” Bea Shaffer smiled slightly.
“Are you done?” Liu Qianqian’s eyes lit up when she saw Xiang Yang and the others coming down, who were taking care of the three babies.
Next, she wouldn't have much time to spend with Xiang Yang.
A bit reluctant to part with it.
"Well, we're done." Xiang Yang finished speaking softly and turned around to look.
Hey guys, it’s so lively in the kitchen.
My parents, mother-in-law, plus the nanny and Laura filled the space inside.
No wonder.
My wife was kicked out.
Looking at the three little greedy cats, they looked at themselves with their big bright eyes.
Xiang Yang asked with concern: "Are the three of them good today?"
"They are good~ They just always want to go out and play." Liu Qianqian complained softly.
The group of cats outside had aroused the curiosity of the three little guys.
Originally, everything was fine.
But after little JoJo said "beep, bab, bab, bab, bab, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah," Mu Xin, who used to be extremely well-behaved, had a quarrel with her bosom friend for a while.
"I gave you money~"
After talking about the child, Liu Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth proudly.
After the 24 million yuan in endorsement fees came in in the afternoon, she added a little more, and just enough 25 million yuan was transferred to Xiang Yang's account.
She has no use for the money.
The next step is to be busy at work.
It might as well be.
"Then you have to pay the management fee on time." Xiangyang agreed with a smile on his face.
That pride.
Liu Qianqian looked very embarrassed and annoyed.
“Didn’t you say we would come down and prepare dinner together?”
Seeing that his friend was preparing to have sex with Liu Qianqian, Little John was not happy, “Let’s talk about it first, I didn’t force you to come. I mean. But you can eat as much as you want.”
If you have the ability, take Liu Qianqian out to eat.
Little John, who raised his head and looked at the sun, was not proud for a few seconds.
Standing in the kitchen, Laura came over when she saw that he didn’t come after he came downstairs.
"You eat the most, how dare you be lazy?"
"I don't!"
Retorted one sentence, but before he could say the second sentence, he was Laura pulled her away by her ears.
But in the process, Little John still did not forget to point at Xiang Yang, "Why can he be lazy?"
"Because this is my home~" Xiang Yang spread his hands and said ruthlessly: "You are so lazy Work harder, it just pays for the room fee, and you don’t have to pay for the meat.”
“You” Little John is so angry.
When he came to the kitchen, he started crying to the adults. Xiangyang didn't even act like a master.
Listening to his gibbering, the three adults kept nodding.
Even Lao Xiang and Lao Zhao, who didn't understand, cooperated with his performance.
"Okay, stop making trouble with him." Seeing Xiang Yang going over to quarrel, Liu Qianqian pulled Xiang Yang and said, "In front of the children, you two are not serious at all."
"Who can say?" Xiang Yang curled his lips and muttered: "Isn't this at my own home?"
"Then you have to act like an adult."
Liu Qianqian After saying that, he raised his head and winked at Xiang Yang, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Well, you tell me."
Xiang Yang smiled, why are you so polite.
Respect each other as guests, can’t we be a model couple?
"Do you still remember Deng Chao? It was the crew of "Detective Dee" who met you." Liu Qianqian said in a low voice:
"Well. He took a French film, So I was wondering if I could recommend him to be a voice actor in "Despicable Me". Do you think it's appropriate?"
"He acted in French movies?"
Xiang Yang was puzzled.
We had only been separated for a few days, and suddenly a film date popped up.
Dubbing
The dubbing is done.
Liu Qianqian didn't know how to explain it.
This film, I think, has a lot to do with "The Lover" that she introduced to a few people in Venice, the one in which Liang Jiahui starred.
Even the heroine is the same person.
The film is called "Paris Baby" and is said to be the second part of "Lover".
“Hey, I didn’t notice that our Ms. Liu has started to introduce resources to others.” Xiang Yang, who didn’t take this matter to heart, joked.
"You hate it." Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang dissatisfied.
When someone else comes to your door, you should always ask for help.
What's more, when we were in Venice, Xiangyang invited everyone to have a meal together, but when he came back, he didn't mention it at all.
“Okay, no problem.”
“Really?”
"He wants to do dubbing in Mandarin," Xiang Yang said with a smile. Deng Chao's English is not that good.
“.” Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose.
Childish!
"You can just tell Little John about this kind of thing in the future." Xiang Yang, who was about to take her to the kitchen to help prepare dinner, finished laughing and put his arm around his wife's shoulders.
When he was about to leave, Liu Qianqian suddenly stopped Xiang Yang and said:
"Uh, there's something else."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"His wife has a TV series to start filming, and the crew is under a bit of financial pressure." After waiting for Xiangyang for a day , Liu Qianqian was pulling Xiang Yang to talk about it, her voice still sounded soft.
She doesn’t know whether this will help Xiangyang’s career.
Still causing trouble for him.
But the online rights to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is about to start filming, have not been sold yet.
People have seen that CC and Enlight Pictures have made such big moves.
Think.
Want to try it.
“I, I didn’t do anything wrong, right?”
"Tell me, what's the name of the TV series?"
""The Legend of Zhen Huan", his lover's name is Sun Li, she is a very good TV series actor. Your parents have also watched the TV series "Happiness" starring them. Like a flower."
As she was talking, Liu Qianqian felt her face suddenly get a little wet.
No need to guess, she was taken advantage of by Xiangyang in front of the whole family.
Seeing her mother and Xiang Yang's parents looking happily towards her, Liu Qianqian's ears turned a little red with a "swish" sound.
What are you doing?
Really!
Can't you drag me out to kiss you?
Thinking about it, Liu Qianqian's eyes showed shame, she pushed Xiang Yang's body hard with her elbow, and ran away.
"Xiang! If you don't come here, you won't have anything to eat at night!" Little John's teeth itched at the sight of being dragged along.
Forget about being lazy, still...
Xiang Yang smiled broadly and had a sly look on his face.
“Hey, I can’t help myself, I can’t help myself.”
