I Know Everything

The two chatted and chatted, and they got down to business.

I'm very grateful that you came to my side as soon as you came out, which means that we have a chance to cooperate, right? Zheng Rongrong asked methodically while drinking coffee.

Zhu Mei only came out of the mountains two days ago and turned on her cell phone.

Then within two or three hours, her phone went into bombing mode.

Although it has been more than a month since the serialization of The Gift of Room No. 7, the single volume of The Gift of Room No. 7 is still on the best-selling list of bookstores all over the country, and has always occupied the first position.

In this era when printed books are seriously neglected, about a third of the 5 million first edition prints have been sold.

At this rate, at least 80% will be sold by at least June.

The printing of the second edition will start within this year, which is a high probability event.

How much money Zheyue Newspaper Group can make is their business, but this crazy bestseller, in the eyes of many film companies, represents that the influence of The Gift of Room No. 7 is further deepening.

Think about it, if there are more than tens of millions of book fans who are willing to go and see The Gift of Room No. 7, how good will it be?

Not to mention that many fans who have heard of The Gift of Room No. 7 may not necessarily buy the book, but after seeing this movie come out, they must be interested in watching it.

As long as this part of the fans can be captured, The Gift in Room No. 7 will get off to a good start, and the box office of 200 to 300 million will not be a problem.

If the filming is good, it is not impossible to hit the box office of more than 500 million!

At present, what does 500 million movie box office in Huaguo represent?

That is Chen Hao's Havoc in the Devil's Cave 5 years ago, which ranked seventh in film history, and it happened to have a box office of 500 million.

What is there not to be satisfied with if a literary film can reach the seventh place in film history?

No matter which company you put it in, it is a rare honor!

Not to mention that most of the people who filmed The Gift of Room No. 7 were Chu Liuxiang's good friend Zhu Mei—although no one has announced this point, but many people know that it must be the case.

Zhu Mei has always had her own way of making literary films,

He has a lot of loyal fans, and last year's Love Letter directly broke the box office record of Mr. Hao He's literary film and became the number one literary film.

Since then, many people have called her the Queen of Literary Films.

It's impossible for such a director to make a bad movie!

Therefore, when a staff member who was assigned a task to dial Zhu Mei's number at different times every day suddenly found that Zhu Mei's phone number could be dialed, within an hour, the entire entertainment circle would know about it.

Big shots from all sides joined the battle one after another, hoping to win the favor of the queen of literary films and win the production and distribution rights of The Gift of Room No. 7.

This is not just a matter of money and profits and the box office records of literary films. In everyone's opinion, The Gift of Room No. 7 was born to sweep the awards of major film festivals.

Leaving aside the Oscars for the time being, even such an influential award as the Golden Globes has the ability to rush.

Not to mention that if it is placed within the scope of Asia, it will basically be recommended to win the grand prize winners of the international film festivals of Huaguo, Japan, and Taijiguo.

you see.

Can earn a lot of money, can win the box office record of the first literary film in film history, and can also win a lot of coveted awards. Who dare not pay attention to such a film, who dare not take it seriously?

But no matter how they called, Zhu Mei's answer was only one sentence.

Thank you for your kindness, I still need time to think about it.

As a result, she arrived at the Huajing headquarters of Shanhai.com on the third day.

Hearing Zheng Rongrong's undisguised ambition, Zhu Mei also smiled and said: Actually, a few months ago, when I discussed with Teacher Chu, he suggested that I come to Shanhai.com.

Oh?

Hearing the decision of this mysterious writer, Zheng Rongrong became curious, What kind of person is Mr. Chu? I really want to meet him. To tell you the truth, I like A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles very much. Reminds me of the days when my family was not rich... I also like the pure love of Love Letter, and I prefer the gentle sunshine in despair of The Gift from Room No. 7...

You have seen him before.

You value him.

You also hired him to star in your company's TV series.

But you never know that such a genius is so amazing.

Not only in writing books, but also in song writing and mathematics, he has such outstanding talents and abilities, it's not like one person can do it at all.

You will know in the future, but now he doesn't allow me to talk about it. Zhu Mei skipped the question, Mr. Chu said that if you want to make a movie, especially a literary movie like ours, you must find a boss who understands literary movies , but also to find a boss who is willing to invest in literary and artistic films, and more importantly, to find a courageous boss. For now, you are the best choice.

To be honest with Mr. Zheng, you said that your support and generosity in Love Letter has also won the gratitude and friendship of Mr. Chu, so he thinks that he will cooperate with Shanhai Net again and make an unprecedented achievement together. , must be a very interesting thing.

Zheng Rongrong was slapped so much that she had a smile on her face.

The eldest princess disdains flattery.

But it also depends on the person.

If it was someone from her own company or those unscrupulous reporters who were talking, she would just take it as a fart.

But it was Teacher Chu Liuxiang who said the words of praise, and Zheng Rongrong felt that he had great vision, and she was such a courageous person.

Since Mr. Chu Liuxiang said so, it would be too inappropriate for me to be stingy. Zheng Rongrong said with a smile, You can say whatever you want, Director Zhu. Shanhai.com will definitely do it! Money is not a problem, whatever actor you want, no matter what the cost, I will invite you personally, and I will invite you.

With such arrogance, Zhu Mei was not very moved.

Because what she had in her hand was The Gift from Room No. 7.

This film, which is destined and will definitely become a miracle at the box office of Huaguo literary films, has too strong a foundation of book fans, fans and public opinion.

Unlike Love Letter, The Gift of Room No. 7 has at least tens of millions of tap water, and at least one-third of the big names on Weibo are its enthusiastic fans.

You don't need to spend a penny for publicity, and you have to blow up the publicity online.

I dare not say more about the conversion rate, but through all kinds of hype and instigation on the Internet, the number of movie fans who come to watch it is at least no less than 5 million people-this is based on one percent of 500 million Internet users Calculated, very conservative.

15 yuan a ticket, 5 million people is 75 million box office.

This does not include the group of book fans in reality.

Those who can still read books in this era must be very fond of literature, so they will not miss this movie adapted from their favorite book.

According to half the conversion rate, there are at least 4 million people, which is 60 million again.

A literary film with a guaranteed box office of 135 million, just ask who else can do it?

In terms of cost, as long as the cost of publicity and distribution is not included, the cost of literary films is almost the lowest among all film types.

There are no explosion scenes, no computer stunts, and no ostentatious scene arrangements, and some are just simple storylines.

As for the highlight of the cost - the salary, it does not exist in literary films.

Basically, stars who star in literary films are considered expensive at a discount of 50%, and many of them can just get a symbolic salary.

If you want to star in a literary film destined to go down in history like The Gift of Room No. 7, as soon as the news of the casting is sent out, those stars will rush in without paying.

It's not Zhu Mei's bragging and exaggeration, as long as she is a movie star who meets the requirements, as long as the schedule is suitable, as long as she calls, at least eight out of ten will not refuse, she can choose whatever she wants.

So Zheng Rongrong's invitation to invite and spend a lot of money in person is just a word to express her attitude, and it doesn't have much effect.

However, Zhu Mei is also looking forward to what kind of exaggerated ways Shanhai.com will use to promote this cooperation.

Love Letter spent 200 million yuan on publicity, Gift in Room No. 7 you lost 300 million yuan, so you are embarrassed to go out, right?

If possible, I hope to build a simple prison by myself, and create the most important scene details of The Gift of Room No. 7 according to the expression in the book and my vision. With a rich producer Fang, Zhu Mei naturally became a little more heartbroken, The cost will probably exceed 5 million...

What's 5 million? Zheng Rongrong stopped her directly, Follow your thinking, as long as you can get good results, it doesn't matter how much it is.

No, spending too much money is not the style of a literary film. Zhu Mei was very satisfied, but she didn't get carried away. That is to say, if you spend a little more money on the scene layout, the remaining 20 million at most can be completed.

it is good!

Zheng Rongrong doesn't interfere with her budget either, anyway, it doesn't matter how much.

However, I'm ready for the share between Teacher Chu and Director Zhu. Zheng Rongrong expressed her attitude, Director Zhu, your team will share 15% of the box office profit, and Teacher Chu will share 10%. What do you think? Sample?

Ours is too tall. Zhu Mei shook her head, Just the same as Teacher Chu's.

After getting so many shares in Love Letter, Zhu Mei no longer has any concept of money, and making movies is the most important thing.

That's it. Zheng Rongrong said with her jaw lowered, Both of you will be calculated on the basis of 10%. If the global box office exceeds 1 billion, we will seal another big red envelope!

thanks!

Zhu Mei was very grateful for Zheng Rongrong's generosity, and the negotiation between the two was basically reached.

The rest is a series of preparation and casting issues.

But before that, she had to go to Lin'an again to discuss it with Teacher Chu Liuxiang!
