What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 127 Warrior
"Wonderful Events in the World" Yang Shu has already filmed smoothly, the team cooperated tacitly, and the work went very smoothly. By the time the second season was released on January 1, four episodes had been filmed, and the last episode was filmed on the 23th. It is now in the final stage.

The second season was a great success. The single-episode score was higher than that of the first season, with a total of more than 500 million effective clicks, plus the final revenue of 50 million yuan from advertising, basically in line with expectations.

It seems easy to make money, with more than [-] million in the account a year.

But spending money is also very fast. The real estate, movies, and drama series have spent a total of [-] million yuan, which is nearly two-thirds, and there are still [-] million yuan on hand.

Next, "Heavenly Love Letter" needs at least 4000 million yuan in various expenses, so there will only be 9000 million yuan left when it is released.

However, the following April is also the harvest season. The third season of "Wonderful Events in the World" will be broadcast, and "Love Letters from Heaven" will be released. If nothing else, the revenue in 2016 will greatly exceed that in 2015.

Luo Xue had already said hello in advance, because "Love Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven" and "Love Letter from No Two" are scheduled for the same period, and various publicity and attendance rate operations may be increased, and more funds must be prepared.

The so-called attendance rate is actually to book a ticket. The past two years have been particularly rampant. Theoretically, the attendance rate determines the film scheduling rate of the theater. Now, all kinds of show operations are justified and justified.

Yang Shu became ruthless, expressing to Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu that success or failure depends on one move, at worst, he would throw all the 3000 million in his hand.

If this is the case, then the production cost of "Love Letter from Heaven" will be 4000 million, which is about the same as the 5000 million of "Love Letter".

Although the lineup of "Love Letter" is much more luxurious, with eight film crews filming in eight cities around the world at the same time, according to Yang Shu's estimation, the actual cost of filming will not exceed 5000 million, and the other [-] million is probably reserved for publicity and Various show operating costs.

This is not even an open secret, it is actually an open one. In the past two years, rich and powerful companies have done this. A few days ago, Yang Shu contracted [-] shows of "Villain Angel" in the name of the studio. Find a way to promote it through the media, so that it will be enough, just like a friend who starts a company and sends flower baskets.

He checked the relevant information, and found that there were ten investors in "The Love Letter of No Two", and each invested 2000 to [-] million. The risks were very scattered. Unlike "Love Letter from Heaven", Yang Shu fought alone, which was equivalent to putting all the eggs alone. a basket.

Liu Man and him estimated together that if the railway guerrillas fought against Seoul, the real investment would be about 5000 million. Whether the project can be approved depends on whether "Heavenly Love Letter" makes money, and it is not unreasonable to say that all eggs are put in one basket Pass.

At that time, the two squatted by the pool to feed the koi carp. The three-color autumn green carp was a very good variety, and dozens of big fish rolled up and down to grab food.

Looking at the fish, Liu Man was very moved: "In order to raise these fish well, I have checked a lot of information. In fact, koi are very adaptable, not picky eaters, and can survive well in water temperatures ranging from 5 to 30 degrees. , but we try our best to keep the water temperature at 23 degrees, do you know why?"

Yang Shu probably guessed it, but he cooperated with the lines: "Why?"

"Because that's their most comfortable temperature, koi only grow at 21 to 27 degrees."

"That's the so-called comfortable living zone."

Liu Man looked at Yang Shu with tenderness and appreciation in his eyes: "You can always understand what I'm talking about."

"No one can provide us with the most comfortable living temperature, we have to create it ourselves."

In the past few years, there has been a bowl of poor-quality urban chicken soup, which is called jumping out of the comfort zone, and Yang Shu is very disapproving.

Whoever has done something beyond ordinary cognition is called jumping out of the comfort zone. It seems quite courageous, but it is actually a false proposition. In fact, no one will take the initiative to jump out of the comfort zone. Everyone is just looking for their own comfortable way of life.

For example, Papa Ma quit his job as a teacher to open English training classes, then opened a store to sell office supplies, and finally founded Alibaba. Was it really because he wanted to get out of his comfort zone?
Yang Shu doesn't think so, the fact is probably the opposite, he wants to jump back into the comfort zone.

Everyone's comfort zone is different. He may not be comfortable in the stable job of a teacher, so he has to find another way out. After repeated attempts and failures, he finally gets involved in the Internet economy and finds his own comfort zone.

The number of movies in the April schedule keeps increasing. "The Best Love Letter" was adjusted to the 4th, and the 8th was vacant. Now Huang Xiaoming's "Da Tang Xuanzang" is confirmed to be released on that day.

In the same way, Tang Seng gave up the stable and comfortable life in Chang'an City and made up his mind to go to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, not because he wanted to get out of his comfort zone, but because he had dreams, staying in Chang'an was not comfortable, but on the way to learn Buddhist scriptures is the best state.

The same may be true of Huang Jiaozhu. Compared with acting, he is probably more successful in business. He owns dozens of companies. As a shareholder of several well-known large companies, he is involved in many industries such as real estate, securities, and film and television investment. The combined value is more than 1 million yuan, and the wedding last year cost [-] million yuan.

There is no need for such a person to make films anymore, not to mention that every film he produced was scolded and his grades were not very good, but he is like Tang Seng, he must go to learn scriptures, even though "Da Tang Xuan Zang" invested over [-] million, In the end, the box office only recovered a fraction.

Why insist on doing such a thankless and money-losing thing?

Because I like filming, this is my dream.

Yang Shu originally thought that his comfort zone was to make a lot of money, buy a house and a car, have beautiful women, and enjoy himself with nothing to do every day.

Now it turns out that it is not the case. He also likes to toss about like Papa Ma, Tang Seng, and Huang Jiaozhu. Walking on the road is his comfort zone. Liu Man obviously understands this.

Yang Shu was very touched by this understanding, and secretly made up his mind to get rid of her sister, stop stepping on wires, and only treat her well in the future.

"Wonderful Events in the World" adopts group editing and hired mature editors to shoot part and cut part, so the post-production progress is very fast. It is expected to be completed around February 2 next year, and then sent to various platforms for review.

Yang Shu focused his work on the script of the new film and started writing it in early February.

Although the story has been conceived since the last life, and it has been deliberated for half a year before, it is not so easy to start writing. It is good to complete the deletion, deletion and modification in two months.

February 2th is the Spring Festival, and the capital is the home of the three of them. According to the custom, the first Spring Festival must be spent at home when moving to a new house, so we made an appointment to celebrate the New Year together.

As for the custom, I don’t know what the custom is. Jiang Shiyu said that it is written in the almanac that the first Spring Festival after moving must be celebrated in the new house. This is called pressing the new house in Feng Shui. Incessantly, so the new house cannot be without an owner during the New Year.

Firecrackers cannot be set off in the capital. On New Year's Eve, it snows heavily, the whole city is quiet, and every house is brightly lit.

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu bought vegetables and went to Yang Shu's house to cook together.

Yang Shu started writing the new script early in the morning, and announced excitedly at noon: "I have already given the new play an official name, simply called "Warrior"."
