What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 28 You May Offend People
The number of clicks continued to rise for the next several days, reaching a peak of 74 hits per day, and a total of 260 million hits in the first four days, of which about 180 million were effective hits.

The word-of-mouth evaluation is good. Although some viewers think that the plot is too sensational and the time travel is full of loopholes, etc., most viewers still enjoy the story and keep the score around 9.0.

Ruhe's promotion is also well done, investing 30 yuan, which is 100% of the production cost. In addition to advertisements and promotional materials, they even published interviews, allowing Guo Minkai and Liu Man to talk about their artistic life.

After reading the article, one would think that the reporter was interviewing Pinghu on-site, but in fact, he didn't come. Liu Man provided a suitable photo, which seemed to be the case.

The reporter did not find Yang Shu. Although Liu Man mentioned him several times in the telephone interview, he was not mentioned in the follow-up report at all.

This made Liu Man very dissatisfied: "Is this reporter out of his mind to write a report on a drama without mentioning the screenwriter?"

Yang Shu doesn't care, even if it is written, not many audiences will pay attention to the screenwriter, and even the director can't remember it.

After reaching the peak, the number of clicks slowly began to fall. Nie Wen said that the data model is perfect, and the platform predicts that the final effective clicks will reach 600 million, so the expected box office is about 480 million.

If there are 600 million effective clicks, then the total number of clicks must exceed 70 million. A considerable number of people have watched the pre-title advertisements. According to the share of [-] to [-] cents per advertisement, they can also earn about [-] yuan.

In this way, the total income of "Lovers at the Table" will be about 550 million, Yang Shu will be able to share 55, and Ruhe Duoduo will make a net profit of 440 million.

The situation was very good, but the strange thing was that although Nie Wen was still polite after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he never mentioned the matter of cooperation again.

Not only Yang Shu was puzzled, but Liu Man was also surprised: "At the time you said that you could provide scripts for Ruhe's new series, but it was Nie Wen who took the initiative to ask for the draft and promised that the company would not treat you badly in terms of price. Why is there no movement now? ?”

At that time, although the contract was agreed, Nie Wen said that the series is cooperating with several playwrights, and each person has no more than two drafts to ensure that each episode of the series has a different style.

So he had to go back to coordinate his opinions, and then decide what style and subject matter he would invite Yang Shu to write about, but the coordination was so great that he didn't even mention a word.

The data was good every day, and the optimism offset the doubts, until sister Tao spoke ten days later.

"You may have offended someone."

These words were not addressed to Yang Shu, but to Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu.

After a long delay, Liu Man couldn't hold his breath, and told his sister about Ruhe's strange attitude during the meal.

Liu Tao was also a little puzzled at the beginning: "Ruhe took the initiative to ask for a script and hoped to continue to cooperate. He was very active at first, but suddenly there was no voice? This seems unreasonable. Don't be too sensitive, just wait patiently."

Two days later, there was still no movement. She asked in detail about the details of the cooperation process, but she still didn't get the point, but she still guessed: "You may have offended someone. The most likely reason is that Director Ke thinks that you are picky and disobedient. Selling the script, I am not happy."

Liu Man didn't quite agree: "In the show business circle, it's not always the case that they set up a temporary stage to sing. Today they cooperate with A and tomorrow with B. If he cares about this, it would be too much of a fuss."

"It's hard to say, now we're looking for reasons for the results," said Liu Tao, who has rich experience in the entertainment industry, and believes that everything is possible: "What offended Director Ke may not be because you have other choices, or it may be a trivial matter. Or a sentence or even a word of yours, or a certain practice of Nie Wen made Director Ke dissatisfied and simply canceled the cooperation."

Jiang Shiyu felt incredible: "This is too hasty, children have the same temper, and everyone's cooperation has been smooth before. It is estimated that Ruhe can earn more than 400 million in "Lovers at the Table".

Liu Tao was very patient: "You are talking about two issues. First of all, there are many things in the entertainment industry that hastily banned artists. Some people were quite popular yesterday, but today the boss doesn't need it. Not everything is rational.

This is no exception at home and abroad. Mel Gibson was blocked because of a drunken remark. When Kimura Takuya was 28 years old, he wanted to marry 30-year-old Shizuka Kudo. The office has been frozen for many years.

In addition, you said that "Lovers at the Table" is expected to earn more than 400 million yuan. You have to understand that the money Ruhe basically earned, and it has nothing to do with whether you fall out. "

What Sister Tao said made sense, Jiang Shiyu was speechless. It was obviously wrong to say that the bridge was demolished. After all, Yang Shu didn't intend to continue to cooperate deeply with him.

"Childish," Liu Man thought for a while and was still a little unconvinced: "Is this a problem with money? If you continue to use Yang Shu's script, you can continue to make money."

Liu Tao smiled disapprovingly: "Mel Gibson, Takuya Kimura, and Shizuka Kudo are all international superstars, aren't they cash cows? Even if they make mistakes, it's better than Xuezang, right? But the boss is wayward and would rather not make money Let them be punished.

Another thing you have to think about is that the boss took 30 yuan to gamble in the stock market or casino. After making money, do you think he thinks he is capable, or do you think he is thanks to the stock market and casino? "

Of course, the boss will not be grateful for the money-making tools, so the tools should not be too high on themselves.

"As for what you said about using Yang Shu's script to continue to make money, in fact, this is just a chance to make money again, a possibility that has not yet been realized, and the boss thinks that the same money invested in others has the same chance to make money. opportunity profit."

Therefore, there is no truly equal two-way choice in the market, and capital will always dominate.

Another obvious point is that Liu Tao may not have said it out of concern for face: now the screenwriters are bad, and the works are piled up like mountains and no one cares about them. In fact, they have no bargaining power. Yang Shu didn't see his situation clearly.

The reason is not complicated, Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu are dumbfounded.

However, Liu Tao supports them to develop their careers independently: "It's better to understand some truths earlier, but working for others depends on your face, you may be kicked away at any time, no matter how popular you are, there is no guarantee."

There are many similarities between Liu Tao's life and Sun Li's. Both of them even joined the army at a very young age and served as art soldiers for several years. Hard grind.

However, the development paths of the two in the entertainment industry are different. Sun Li belongs to the artists of Hairun Performing Arts Brokerage Company. Zhao Liying, Lu Yi, Jiang Wenli, Liu Ye and others also belonged to this company. It is one of the largest private film and television production companies in China. .

Liu Tao is different. She belongs to Junqi Feiyang Culture Media. The legal person of this company is Qin Hailu, either with the same name and surname, or the star Qin Hailu. She and Liu Tao are very good best friends.

This can be understood as Liu Tao and Qin Hailu partnered to open a brokerage company to broker themselves and take their careers into their own hands.

Qin Hailu is also developing very well. Although Zheng Xiaolong is still filming "Legend of Miyue", the next work "Red Sorghum" is already being planned, and she is one of the leading actors.

Their company was established 14 years ago, when Liu Tao and Qin Hailu were both 22 years old. Qin Hailu had just graduated from the Central Opera, while Liu Tao was studying in the law department of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies besides taking commercials and playing some small roles. .

Yang Shu, Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu are all 21 years old this year, and what they are doing now is very similar to what they were doing back then.

So in the end, Liu Tao comforted: "If you think the path you have chosen is correct, stick to it. You are young and have the capital to try and make mistakes. At worst, you can start all over again."

Sister Tao's waist should no longer hurt. Young people actually don't have much capital, and if they fail once, they may lose their chance.

However, since her success is a reference sample, Yang Shu quickly put Ru He's change of face and blackmailing behind her.

He said to Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu: "It's better to continue to sell the script. If you can't sell it, wait for the next buyer. Buying and selling requires patience."

And Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu also agreed with his opinion: "Next, we should start planning new dramas, use these two months to do all the preparation work carefully, and start the film once the funds are in place."
