Entertainment, I just like making movies

For several days in a row, Huang Bo and Bao Qiang took their agents to interview people from major film and television companies.

The big and small kings of Huayi, Guangxian Wang Changtian, Bona Yudong, LeTV CEO Zhang Zhao, Alibaba Entertainment Group CFO and Alibaba Pictures Vice President Zhang Wei, Tengxun Pictures CEO Chen Wu, Huace Film and Television Chairman Fu Meicheng, etc. .

One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. The dates were very tight, and major film and television companies rushed to send money.

The two of them visited golf, horse riding, resorts, ultra-luxury hotels, members-only clubs, and some famous entertainment venues in the imperial capital.

Cool..

It’s really cool!

Huang Bo and Bao Qiang felt that they had never been so prosperous in their lives, transforming from actors into guests of major companies.

Even though the two of them had previously starred in the multi-billion-selling "The Secret of the Dragon", the "囧" series, and the "Tang Detective" series, their reputations have greatly increased, and they have become among the top actors in the Chinese film industry, but in the face of the bosses of major film and television companies, Sometimes you still have to say nice things to a smiling face.

It's not like now, when I straighten my waist and talk to the big guys on an equal footing, chatting and laughing together, drinking wine and sipping tea.

This is quality life!

When Huang Bo and Bao Qiang contacted each other in private, they both shared their experiences these days and couldn't help but sigh on the phone.

However, the two of them were enjoying themselves, but they did not forget about the business. On the one hand, they paid attention to the sugar-coatings sent by their major film and television companies, and on the other hand, they kept in mind Cheng Ruoguo Fang Ziheng's words.

Hesong Media.

In General Manager Li Xue's office, Bao Qiang was sitting comfortably on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with half-squinted eyes, savoring the luxurious life these days.

Opposite me, Li Xue was wearing a black silk professional suit, playing with the kung fu tea on the coffee table, her eyes moving and she chuckled, "Okay, don't dwell on it."

"It's rare, let me take it easy." Baoqiang grinned, patted his thigh with his left hand, and said immersedly.

Li Xue rolled her eyes at him and said solemnly: "The real moment of enjoyment will be when "Havoc in Tianzhu" is released and sells well at the box office."

“Now, everything we touch is advanced in advance!”

Li Xue's mind is always clear and she sees very clearly that the major film and television companies are giving super-national treatment because they are optimistic about "Havoc in Tianzhu".

Everything is to get the distribution rights of the movie!

They bet again that the movie can be a hit!

As a director, Baoqiang's best response is to make "Havoc in Tianzhu" a real hit, turn potential into strength, and have the capital to truly have an equal dialogue with major film and television companies.

If you want to achieve this step, you can't get around Fang Hengyu Media, the main controller, and you can't get around Fang Ziheng.

Bao Qiang understood Li Xue's instructions instantly, stood up and took the famous tea offered by the other party.

While tasting, he said: "I had a phone call with the director yesterday. The director told me not to be anxious and to look at the quotes from other companies."

"The director also said that Hengyu Media is very confident in "Havoc in Tianzhu"."

"That's good."

Li Xue nodded slightly, reached for her bag, and took out an A4 paper document.

In the document, it is clear that the major film and television companies have made the third round of bids for "Havoc in Tianzhu" these days.

Huayi Brothers quoted 620 million.

Alibaba Pictures quoted 650 million.

Tencent Pictures quoted 650 million.

Enlight Media quoted 610 million.

Bona Pictures quoted 630 million.

LeTV Pictures quoted 640 million.

Huace Film and Television, quoted 630 million.

Wanda Pictures quoted 650 million.

Hengdian Film and Television quoted a price of 610 million, as well as two months of free shooting and filming in Hengdian Film and Television City.

In addition to Hengyu Media, nine other film and television companies have quoted prices for the third round, with three companies offering the highest prices.

Alibaba Pictures, Tencent Pictures, and Wanda Pictures, these three are all big players, and they have all quoted a guaranteed price of 650 million.

In the office, Li Xue read out the quotation truthfully, while Bao Qiang was opposite with his mobile phone to calculate.

After a while, the two came up with a box office revenue of 600 million to 650 million.

"I'll go, so many."

Baoqiang was shocked and handed the phone to Li Xue who looked over with trembling hands.

With a minimum guarantee of 650 million yuan, after deducting film funds and taxes, 43% of the accounts will be shared with theaters, and the net box office revenue will be 256.3 million yuan.

Regardless of the publicity and distribution fees, after deducting the 80 million production cost, the producer still has a net profit of 176.3 million.

Baoqiang’s own studio accounts for 15% and can get a share of 26.45 million.

Hesong Media, which holds 6%, can be divided into 10.58 million, and Baoqiang Star shareholders, who hold 10% of Hesong's shares, can be divided into another 1 million.

Including his director and actor's remuneration, he can get a total of 39.45 million soft girl coins.

One movie, earning 40 million!

Is this the director’s right?

For a moment, Baoqiang was a little stupid. The data on the phone screen kept refreshing his understanding of the movie.

I still remember that when he was filming "Unfortunate Road" and "The Unknown Man", his salary was 1 million, which was 800,000 with a 20% discount.

The filming of "Tang Detective 1" was 2 million, which doubled.

The filming of "囧 in Thailand" was 3 million, which was increased by half, and the filming of "囧 in Hong Kong" was 6 million, which was doubled again.

The filming of "Tang Detective 2" reached 10 million, reaching the peak salary of mainland Mesozoic actors.

In 2014, the number of male actors in the entertainment industry who could get a salary of 10 million could be counted on one hand.

Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Wu Jing and Deng Chao are not included in the list of five people because they have changed their careers to directing movies.

What now..

He is just preparing to direct his first movie in his life. The script has just come out and the actors have not yet been confirmed. He is earning 40 million in minutes!

Baoqiang was in a daze and didn't know what to say.

For a moment, he really wanted to promise Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, and Wanda Pictures to get 40 million before they got it.

uh-huh

Bao Qiang bit his lip fiercely, looked at Li Xue who was also full of surprises, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Xue, I am determined to be the director, and I must film "Havoc in Tianzhu" well.

I finally understand that actors in the entertainment industry seem to be famous and attract much attention, but in fact it is not the case at all. They are still the playthings of capital. "

"As long as you understand, if you are good at singing, you will act, and if you are good at acting, you will be directing. Only directors can be considered to be at the top of the artist's food chain and can talk to the superior capital on an equal footing."

Li Xueying smiled, tapped the A4 paper with her delicate knuckles, and analyzed: "Judging from the quotations from various companies, the guarantee for "Havoc in Tianzhu" can be increased further, and 700 million should be stable."

"Hengyu did not participate in the third round of quotations, and will definitely make a bid in the fourth round. We will take a look at it then. If their quotation is not much different from other companies, choose them!"

"Yeah, I think so too."

Baoqiang nodded heavily and smiled innocently, showing two rows of big white teeth.

I have to mention that neither Bao Qiang nor Li Xue thought that the guarantee for "Havoc in Tianzhu" would reach 1 billion.

It’s not that I don’t dare to think about it, it’s that I can’t think about it.

Movies can sometimes be so mysterious, with guaranteed sales of 600-700 million. If the final movie is released and sells 800 million at the box office, everyone will say you are awesome and praise you even more.

Your second movie will definitely sell for a guaranteed 10%!

But if "Havoc in Tianzhu" sells a guaranteed 1 billion yuan, the movie will only sell 800 million box office, or 900 million box office when it is released.

Then send it!

Except for the media and the audience, few people in the industry will say that you are awesome. Instead, major film and television companies will crazily lower the price of your second movie.

Successful people always succeed!

This sentence is most realistic when used in the film market!

As for the films of Chen Daren and Lu Chuan, there are still people investing in them. It can only be said that there are too many stupid people with too much money, and there are too few famous directors who can sell box office.

Sanqingshan Film and Television Base.

After a busy day, Fang Ziheng took advantage of dinner time to deal with group matters as usual.

Not at night. After taking a shower, he would plow other areas of her land.

These days, the young lady often stays in the director's bedroom.

In the crew cafeteria, Fang Ziheng was eating and listening to Fang Rou's report.

"Brother, now the major companies have offered 650 million for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu". The film business department and distribution department have estimated the prices to be almost the same. Even if we want to increase the price, we can only increase it little by little."

"No, it doesn't have to be like this."

Fang Ziheng shook his head with a smile, put down his chopsticks, picked up a shrimp, and said while peeling the shell: "Inform Andy that these two movies will be distributed under Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, and ask her to send someone to contact Huang Bo and Baoqiang.”

The group's assessment is clear.

The total box office of "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" is not expected to exceed 1 billion, but is estimated to be between 800 million and 900 million.

The small quotation is to slow down the increase in the guaranteed issuance, and to show that Hengyu Media is not in a hurry.

But this has a drawback, which can easily cause Huang Bo and Bao Qiang to have opinions.

Hengyu headquarters withdrew, and Hengyu Interactive Entertainment took over the subsequent distribution competition. The attitude suddenly became ambiguous.

Fang Rou rolled her eyes, a hint of understanding flashed across her face, and she said with a smile: "Okay, I will forward your message to Sister Andy later."

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, stuffed the prawns into his mouth, stood up and went back to his room.

Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and warned: "Oh, by the way, Xiaorou, please inform the crew that I will go back to the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow."

"Understood, I will let the crew prepare in advance."

The next day.

Ice beauty Andy, as the chairman of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, invited Huang Bo and Bao Qiang to Hengyu to show the outside world that she was optimistic about the two movies.

At noon.

News came out that Hengyu Interactive Entertainment offered a guaranteed price of 670 million for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in the Sky".

Major film and television companies were shocked, believing that Fang Ziheng was very optimistic about the two movies and planned to release them under Hengyu Interactive Entertainment in order to increase the company's stock price.

After the 670 million guarantee, major companies have made further judgments and evaluations.

First, LeTV Pictures withdrew from the competition.

In the evening, Guangguang and Huace also withdrew from the guaranteed release of the two films.

LeTV's withdrawal was a last resort. Lao Jia really had no money. He had to pay more than 500 million in real money to win the two movies.

LeTV is now a dilapidated house, leaking everywhere, and will collapse at the slightest external force.

Guangguang and Huace withdrew, feeling that they could not compete with Hengyu Entertainment.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment has a billion-dollar empire, and Andy, the leader, is resolute and resolute. She takes action personally, and at least has to add a few rounds of price increases.

Wang Changtian and Fu Meicheng were both sensible people and stayed away from the whirlpool immediately.

Huayi, Bona, Wanda Pictures, Alibaba Pictures, and Tengxun Pictures are still not afraid. They have made it known through their executives that they will never give up their fight for guaranteed distribution of the two films.

Another day later, Huayi made its fourth offer for "Havoc in Tianzhu" at 680 million.

Only 10 million was added, and there was no quote for "A Good Show".

At the same time, Bona made the opposite move, avenging the price of 680 million for "A Good Show" and abandoning "Havoc in Tianzhu".

The two companies’ outrageous operations immediately attracted the attention of insiders.

Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, and Wanda Pictures have held executive meetings to discuss the next direction.

"Haha, Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong have a good plan. They want to concentrate their forces to attack one place and work together to carve up two movies!"

At the meeting, the three responsible persons, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge, all guessed Hua Yi and Bona's intentions.

While the three of them were scolding each other, they were also very happy in their hearts.

After all, they still have to rely on strong capital. Huayi and Bona gave in, worrying that their cash flow would not be comparable to the three companies.

Inadvertently, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge made the decision to pursue and fight fiercely.

"A Good Show" has an asking price of 700 million!

"Havoc in Tianzhu" has an asking price of 700 million!

The three of them were so arrogant that they vowed to win two new films in one fell swoop and not give any other company a chance to share the spoils.

After the price was reported, everyone was waiting for Hengyu Interactive Entertainment’s quotation.

However, it is not soft!

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment seemed to have disappeared, with no intention of continuing to quote.

"You're not raising the price on purpose, are you?"

Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge were shocked and confused, unable to guess what Andy was planning.

Just when they were about to send someone to inquire, the other two opponents, Hua Yi and Bona, launched a fierce counterattack.

How could Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong, who are like brilliant figures, fail to see the greed of the three companies.

The two quoted the fifth-round prices for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" respectively.

Hua Yi still chose "Havoc in Tianzhu" and quoted a price of 750 million. Bona chose "A Good Show" and also quoted a price of 750 million.

Hard steel on the front!

Two traditional film and television giants are facing off against film and television companies transformed from Internet and real estate giants.

Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong's attitude of never giving up made Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu and Song Ge jump in the eyelids.

I'll fuck you uncle!

A one-time price increase of 50 million is crazy!

"Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, you two bitches!"

"Fuck, I guess they didn't hold it in well!"

"You are trying to fight us to the death!"

Abuse continued to ring out in the offices of the chairman of the three companies. The temperament of Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong really shocked the three of them.

The three had to re-evaluate the potential of the two films and make adjustments. Xuehuayi and Bona only competed for one film.

Thinking too much!

They have no chance!

At this time, Andy took action and announced to the outside world that he had secured guaranteed distribution of two films.

800 million!

The latest financial report of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment revealed that each of "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" offered a minimum guarantee of 800 million.

Huang Bo and Bao Qiang also stood up and expressed their confidence that the film would be distributed by Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

How can it be!

This is impossible!

Various question marks appeared in front of Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu and Song Ge at the same time.

Why was it taken down by Hengyu Interactive Entertainment?

The asking price is 800 million. That bitch Andy is really brave!

Does Fang Ziheng know, is it his idea?

Huayi Headquarters.

Wang Zhonglei blushed, looked at his brother Wang Zhongjun with wide eyes, and said angrily: "Brother, what do you think we should do?"

"Bao Qiang is so brave, he dares to play tricks on us Hua Yi!"

During this period of time, he was spending time with Smiley Face and calling him brother-in-law, but all his feelings were fed to dogs!

In the chairman's seat, Wang Zhongjun smoked a cigar leisurely and sighed: "Okay, they didn't fool us, the one with the highest price will get it!"

800 million guaranteed!

It really beats the price limit of major companies!

Huang Bo and Bao Qiang have not been tested as directors. They only have audience popularity and fame. The new films they direct are at most worth this price.

At high levels, the risk is too high!

Wang Zhongjun's bottom line is 800 million. If the price is higher than this, he will never follow.

Also thinking the same thing as him were Bona Yudong, Wanda Pictures Song Ge, and Fan Luyuan and Chen Wu who were furious.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment’s offer of 800 million hit their target at once and blocked the throats of five companies.

Damn it, Hengyu wins again! !
