my life is running wild

Chapter 131 Greedy Retribution

If Mother Liu is really "tsundere", then this is indeed good news.

At least it shows that Liu's mother has changed her mind about Liu Chengyin's filmmaking, at least she feels a little more reliable,

In this way, the possibility of him convincing Mother Liu with movies is even greater!
Of course, the premise is that Liu Chengyin's conjecture is correct
Because Liu Chengyin was thinking about things, he kept silent.

Father Liu saw that Liu Chengyin was silent, so he couldn't help but said, "Actually, after seeing your performance in filming, your mother changed her mind a bit."

Liu's father was actually worried that Liu Chengyin would think wildly and cause some misunderstandings.

Isn't that what TV shows and movies are like?
He was able to speak well, but he didn't speak clearly. As a result, because of a misunderstanding, the family was restless, and a 72-episode series was made out of a single sentence.

The past was fine. In the past, Father Liu naturally wouldn't think so much. After all, Liu Chengyin in the past has always been very obedient and never lost his temper.

But since Liu Chengyin showed different thoughts and behaviors from the past, he no longer dared to judge Liu Chengyin's behavior with the inertia of thinking in the past. Without understanding, Liu's father could only go to the worst possibility first. Think about it, take this as a premise, and take precautions.

If Liu Chengyin's thoughts don't go his way, if he thinks wrongly, and turns around and walks away, he can't control him at all.

You know, now that his son is financially independent, they can no longer control the scope of Liu Chengyin's activities by controlling the economy.

As a result, the family may not be able to live well for several years.

Liu Chengyin was still thinking about how to verify the guess from Liu's father calmly.

Unexpectedly, Father Liu "blew himself up" first.

Liu Chengyin took the opportunity to ask: "What exactly does Mom think?"

Liu's father replied: "Your movie results let her see the possibility of you being able to eat movies."

Liu Chengyin looked puzzled: "Possibility? Didn't I already make money? Why is it still a 'possibility'? This is clearly an 'inevitable', right?"

Father Liu said: "Your mother thinks that making a movie is like buying a lottery ticket. Even those famous directors sometimes make bad movies. , if the tone is good, there is also the possibility of a blockbuster."

Liu Chengyin: "Yes, how does my mother want me to prove that I am not 'possible' but 'necessary'?"

Father Liu: "This is what your mother said"

The next moment, Liu's father clamped his throat and imitated Liu's mother's tone and said: "What if he is just a blind cat and a dead mouse?
Earning hundreds of millions in a muddle-headed way may happen by buying lottery tickets.

Through extraordinary performance, or by encountering great luck, a great talent who suddenly became a blockbuster and then disappeared from then on, the real ability is to be able to continue!

Let's wait for him to make another movie.

A blind cat can't run into two dead mice in a row
I don't need him to surpass the grades of the first part, as long as the grades are not bad, I believe he can really eat this bowl of rice! "

After hearing this, Liu Chengyin was overjoyed.

Liu Chengyin is confirmed!

Mother Liu did let go.

And the conditions are not difficult, and it doesn't even need to be better than "Frivolous", as long as there is another "OK" movie to be made.

Is it difficult?
Not difficult!

You must know that the movie "Crazy Symphony" is the result of Liu Chengyin's "dancing with chains" in order to meet the judges' criteria for awards.

If Liu Chengyin is free to shoot according to the taste of the public and fully develops his own strengths, then if he wants to surpass "Frivolous", wouldn't it be easy?

Thinking of this, Liu Chengyin was overjoyed.

But he was not happy for too long, and soon, he suddenly thought of something - his "next movie" has already been filmed, and it will be released the day after tomorrow!
You know, his movie was not made to cater to the audience, not even the judges.

It was a "masochist film" that "feeds poison" to the audience!
This is why Liu Chengyin will be released two days before the Spring Festival.

He didn't want to spoil everyone's New Year's mood during the New Year's Eve.

He thought that if it was released two days earlier, two days would be the best time for the movie to spread its word of mouth, and everyone would know what kind of movie it was.

In this way, no one will come to see it after the Spring Festival.

When making this movie, he didn't think about the box office at all, and he was fully prepared to lose money
Of course, Liu Chengyin himself will definitely not lose money, only "director Liu Chengyin" is losing money, and "special effects artist Liu Chengyin" has already earned as much as 500 million during the film production process labor costs.

Although Liu Chengyin made money from this movie, the money was not earned by "making a movie".

And Liu Chengyin's new movie "Chasing, Dreamer" wants to "do okay", at least it has to get back its money first, right?
You know, the announced investment for this movie is - [-] million!

The actual number is 500 million!

Well, it was originally 500 million. In the end, the "four companies" "added special effects production costs for free" and gave another 2000 million.

For a film with an investment of nearly [-] million yuan, if you want to "return your capital", the film must have a box office of at least [-] million yuan!
As for "not bad grades", in Liu Chengyin's view, there should be a profit of 20% to be worth the evaluation of "not bad".

After all, the rate of return this year is not 8%, and even inflation is not easy to offset.

Therefore, the box office of a new movie must be at least 7.2 million to be considered qualified.

7.2 billion
How is it possible to earn 7.2 million box office with a "masochist film" that does not meet the taste of the public?

Even many mainstream popcorn movies can't achieve this result!

Liu Chengyin's intestines were instantly remorseful.

If he hadn't collected the 1.65 million "labor fee" at the beginning, then the investment in this movie would only be 3000 million at most.

3000 million investment.

If he hadn't asked for half a month's leave in order to receive the award, and hadn't taken the three days off for New Year's Day, or even so many weekends off, and worked a little longer every day.

In this way, with the 3000 million investment, he still saved several million, and the cost of the film was only more than 2000 million.

Movies with an investment of more than 2000 yuan only need a box office of about 7000 million to pay back, and a box office of less than 9000 million can achieve the evaluation of "not bad".

If the target is only 9000 million.

Even if it's a "masochist film", based on the wonderful special effects he made in the movie, it is estimated that there will be some viewers who are not bad at money and are willing to watch it.

In this way, 9000 million should be relatively easy to get.

However.
His current goal is not 9000 million!
But eight times 9000 million!
7.2 billion!
If I didn't take that money, I didn't take so much vacation
Greedy retribution!
