Chapter 555 My money is not something anyone can spend if they want (4k)

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and March is spring.

On a rare sunny day, the river bed of the Yongding River is winding and buckling, the banks are lined with trees, the mountain flowers are blooming, and the birds are returning to their nests.

When Lu Fei came, Gao Yuanyuan didn't want to be too busy, and left the crew behind. The two of them seemed to be dreaming back to "17-year-old Bicycle", walking leisurely in the park, and being intimate with each other.

"Hey, I want to start an electronic magazine."

Gao Yuanyuan held Lu Fei's arm, "What do you think?"

"Hey, Mr. Gao wants to cross borders and become an editor?"

Lu Fei looked sideways.

"Mainly I see Xu Jinglei and Qin Lan doing this. I think it's quite fun, and I want to try it too."

Gao Yuanyuan expressed her thoughts without any concealment.

The blog was originally dominated by Han Han and Xu Jinglei, a king and a queen, but she preempted the track and took the title of "talented woman". Hold up half the sky" female role model in the new era.

Xu Jinglei found another way, developed a style of play, found out the hot spots, and laid out a new track. After all, compared with blogs, e-magazines are obviously much more aggressive.

Who else knows how to pretend to be a cultural person better than a celebrity?

Even Lu Yu and Yang Lan joined in the fun. The title of "Magazine Editor-in-Chief" is so resounding, it's not like the queen of bloggers, it's too vulgar, what I want is a high-end, cultural, and high-end blogger!

"Okay, it's a good match for our talented girls."

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth twitched: "I support it. What name do you plan to name? Do you want me to serve as your staff?"

"I've already thought about it, and it's called "Yuan Lai Is You"."

Gao Yuanyuan leaned her head on his shoulder: "In the first issue, there is an interaction of 'take a photo with Gao Yuanyuan'. As long as fans upload their own photos, they can synthesize a group photo, isn't it good?"

"Indeed, it can shorten the distance with fans."

Lu Fei happily said: "You make a copy, or I will make one too. I have already thought of the name, and it is called "Men Have to Pretend"."

"Pfft, what's your name? Your name is "Men Have to Pretend", so I am "Women Have to Pretend"..."

Gao Yuanyuan suddenly realized: "Okay, you are laughing at me!"

"Heaven and earth conscience, how dare I laugh at you."

Lu Fei dodged to dodge her vise pinching technique.

"Also, are you laughing at me for pretending!"

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "Actually, I don't want to pretend either. Pretending to be a 'talented woman' is much more tiring than acting, and it costs a lot of money. Although no printing is required, website maintenance, picture production, copywriting team, everything needs money, I forget it Forget it, it costs at least 10 a year in the early stage alone, and it may not be possible to make money."

"10? How can this work!"

"Why don't you just forget it."

"No, no, I only lose 10 a year, and it will take hundreds of years for me to go bankrupt. It's too slow, and I have to spend this amount every year!"

Lu Fei stretched out two fingers.

"You, fuck you, you're teasing me again!"

Gao Yuanyuan punched her a few times angrily and laughingly.

"It's nothing to lose a little money. It's my honor to witness the activation of Yuanyuan's infinite potential." Lu Fei hugged her, "But you think about it, online reading is completely fragmented and fast food. See It’s okay to read a few hundred words of news, but not many people have the patience to read a magazine with dozens of pages.”

"Yeah, what to do then?"

"So they run their magazines, let's go to our Weibo, and soon, Xinlang will launch such a brand new product, which is equivalent to a simplified version of a blog, and each message can only post 200 characters. Ported to mobile phones."

"200 words, so little."

"A lot."

Lu Fei patiently introduced that the reason why Weibo is limited to 140 characters is completely imitation, because Twitter supports 280 ASCII characters, and the Chinese equivalent is 140 characters.

Of course, 140 words is not a big problem.

Just like long videos, traffic can't compete with short videos.

"But what can 200 words do?"

Gao Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at his angular face.

"Now that I've told you, you don't understand either. When you get started during the closed beta, I don't need to say, you can understand."

"Okay, so what am I going to do now?"

"During the internal testing of Weibo, all artists in the Han and Tang Dynasties must use it, and then when it is officially launched, ask you to know the group of media people, celebrities, and celebrities from all walks of life, register an account and then authenticate."

"Is it the same as Wangyi Blog, first use celebrities to import traffic, so that Weibo can quickly accumulate a group of users?"

"clever."

Lu Fei turned into the woods and said as he walked: "Weibo is not comparable to electronic magazines. In the future, newspapers, TV stations, and even government organizations will be stationed in this area of ​​public opinion, vying to be an opinion leader, in terms of influence." , A blog may only be a fraction of Weibo.”

"What is an opinion leader?" Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously.

Lu Fei succinctly explained that the reason why Yao Dazui became the queen of Weibo is that, firstly, there was promotion of the new wolf packaging; () want (know)" awakening, and often comment on public events, appearing to be an "independent woman".

For example, where the flower of evil blooms.

Gao Yuanyuan can't afford to take this route.

"Think about it again."

Lu Fei stopped, "Weibo will hold a launch ceremony when it goes online, invite some celebrities to the platform, the name is 'Weibo Star Night', maybe we can hold an award ceremony like Sohu and Baidu in the future , new actor of the year, breakthrough actor of the year, Weibo king, Weibo queen..."

"What kind of reputation did you get!"

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled, "You don't think it's embarrassing, even the recipients think it's embarrassing. Isn't this the chicken king of "Wulin Biography"? Chicken award, chicken you are too beautiful award..."

"Is there an award for 'Chicken You Are Too Beautiful'?"

"Why not? You added it in the script on purpose. You must add it. I really don't understand what's so funny."

"Hey hey, maybe it will be funny in the future."

"Come on, if it's really like what you said, wouldn't internal entertainment be finished? Maybe you gave it to me."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and patted him.

"Do you still need me to come to Huo Huo?"

Lu Fei didn't take it seriously, "I'm here to save it."

The two laughed and played, and then found a shade, spread a mat, and lay down together, with the sun shining on their bodies little by little.

Doubly comfortable!

"Snoring~"

Lu Fei snored suddenly, and a gust of wind blew past his ears, making it feel cold. He thought Gao Yuanyuan was playing, and murmured:
"Yuanyuan, don't make trouble."

Gao Yuanyuan brushed up her wind-blown hair, and looked at his innocent sleeping state, and couldn't help showing a happy smile.

After a while, the tranquility was broken by the humming vibration.

Then the phone rang, startling the birds in the forest.

Lu Fei turned over, "Who is calling?"

"Wang Jing, maybe something happened to the crew."

Gao Yuanyuan ended the world of the two unhappily, and returned to the Mentougou filming location under the escort of Wang Ben and others.

However, the crew is fine, and Wang Jing is busy.

"Ask us Hantang to invest?"

Gao Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, "Whose movie?"

"You two should know each other. My senior, Director Wu Yusen, was the director of "The True Colors of Heroes" and then went to Hollywood. He was the director of "Face Changing" and "Mission: Impossible 2"..."

Wang Jing's tone of introduction was full of envy.

Gao Yuanyuan was surprised, but Lu Fei was lukewarm. He was notoriously xenophobic and stubborn. He dismissed him and said, "With his brand name and fame, is there still a shortage of investment?"

"That, unexpected accident."

Wang Jing was very embarrassed, "Originally, Fa Ge, the leading actor in "Red Cliff", gave up acting and turned to film "Pirates of the Caribbean". As a result, many investors who were targeting Fa Ge also withdrew their funds, and the electricity was cut off. If you don’t want to call me now, ask me to ask Mr. Gao if Han Tang is interested or not?”

"Why did Brother Fa resign?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"Director Wu said that Brother Fa seems to be used to Hollywood. He imposed a lot of harsh conditions during the negotiation. They couldn't reach an agreement, so the negotiation fell apart." Wang Jing glanced at Lu Fei from time to time, but saw that he was indifferent . "Mr. Gao, we have also experienced this Hollywood treatment, haven't we, that kind of feeling..."

"Who is the replacement?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded, she really felt the same way.

"Liang Chaowei."

Wang Jing is like a salesman, working hard to promote Wu Yusen. After all, he is the hope of the Hong Kong circle after returning from Hollywood.

If "Red Cliff" succeeds, it will be able to carry the banner.

"Hiss, the lineup is so luxurious?"

Gao Yuanyuan took a deep breath, and heard that the all-star lineup of Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu, Zhang Fengyi, Hu Jun, Lin Chiling, etc. from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places started from 1 million for the single film salary.

"Director Wu is very sincere. He also retained Sun Shangxiang as the female lead, so he can let Zeng Li play the role." Wang Jing said with emotion: "I have also seen this star cast in "The Banquet of a Rich Family"."

The female number one is a der!

Lu Fei rolled his eyes, not to mention that Zeng Li was pregnant and couldn't film, even if she could, she wouldn't be able to film "Red Cliff".

Wu Yusen harbors evil intentions, and his intentions can be punished!
On the surface, Sun Shangxiang is the female lead, but in fact it is Xiao Qiao, who has more roles in the scene. When Zeng Li went to act, she just promoted a model.

Not to mention, the protagonists such as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are all Hong Kong circles.

Take my money, the people who support you?
He glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, saw that she seemed to be moving, and immediately asked, "So how much investment does Director Wu still need?"

"More than 5 million yuan has been raised, which is only 1.12 million yuan short."

Wang Jing was overjoyed, being favored by Master Lu, the money was still a problem, it was just a hair on Jiu Niu's body!
"The total cost is 6 million!?"

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help being startled.

As a member of the Hong Kong circle, Wang Jing couldn't help feeling proud: "That's right, Director Wu wants to create one of the most luxurious blockbusters in Chinese history. China Film and Shanghai Film have all invested in it. How about it, Mr. Lu?" , Mr. Gao, don’t you see such opportunities often?”

"hooligan?"

If Lu Fei wasn't there, Gao Yuanyuan would have been so excited, she would have agreed immediately, big production + big director + big cast, she couldn't think of a reason why the box office didn't sell well.

"I'm in business, I only read money."

Lu Fei didn't take it seriously, "The Wandering Earth 2" only cost 6 million yuan. In comparison, "Red Cliff" is at most the level of "Half River Green", which costs 6 million yuan?

Or 07 million RMB in 6?

If you want to pay back, you need at least 18 billion at the box office. Obviously, the current domestic film market cannot support such a large box office.

"Oh, 6 million is the investment of the two films, and "Red Cliff" will be divided into the first part and the second part." Wang Jing was excited.

"Even if there are two parts, each will cost 3 million yuan."

Lu Fei turned his head: "Yuanyuan, help me think about it, the Chinese costume blockbusters that invested more than 1 million in these years, do they lose more or earn more?"

Gao Yuanyuan thought about it carefully, like waking up from a dream.

"Night Banquet", which invested 1.5 million yuan, had a box office of 1.3 million yuan in the mainland, "Golden Armor" lost 1.4 million yuan, and "Seven Swords", which lost 6000 million yuan in blood, made Xu Ke not slow down these years.

Except for "Hero" and "Painted Skin", these blockbusters did not make money as expected at all, almost nine out of ten. The cost of "Red Cliff" 6 million may end up with nothing.

"There are too few theaters in China, and the number of screens is not enough. The box office of a movie is at most 18 to 5 million yuan, which is the limit, and 8 billion yuan. Maybe it will be possible in five or eight years."

Lu Fei snorted: "Now, hehe."

"Director Wu also knows that to invest in such a large international blockbuster, it is not enough to rely on the box office in the mainland, and it must rely on global distribution to recover the cost, so he invited 9 screenwriters from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to make "Red Cliff" a "combination of Chinese and Western". international story."

Wang Jing was very anxious, because "Painted Skin" broke the pattern of "Hong Kong stars as the mainstay and domestic entertainment as the supplement", and he was on the verge of being expelled from the Hong Kong circle.

"Haha, this is the funniest joke I heard today, Yuanyuan, what do you think?" Lu Fei squinted.

"Ah."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled knowingly, knowing in her heart that he said so much, seemingly for Wang Jing, but actually for herself.

She had already figured it out thoroughly and gave up the idea of ​​investing.

"Director Wang, no matter how you make a Three Kingdoms-themed movie, it won't be able to attract Europe and the United States. Stars like Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu are even more worthless. The combined influence may not be as famous as Wu Yusen and Zeng Lijie. The only movie in the world In the overseas market, there are only neon with the Three Kingdoms complex, but this one ticket store, is it enough?"

"This this……"

Wang Jing was embarrassed and speechless.

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and laughed: "I'm afraid it's not enough. Most of the overseas releases are selling copyrights, and the box office proceeds basically belong to the distributor. Our "Painted Skin" has been sold for more than a year, and the overseas revenue is only 1 million US dollars. "Red Cliff" can How many are there?"

"Oh, it seems that there is no such fate."

Wang Jing smiled wryly, and left tactfully, without being too entangled, quite clear about his position in Master Lu——

After all, he worked for Xiang Huaqiang.

Don't think that Mr. Lu thinks highly of you, so you think he has a lot of weight. Mr. Lu is even more terrifying than the Xiang family when he steps on and praises him.

In short, it is not an order of magnitude at all.

"A Fei, actually, I think that 1 million may not be a good deal, but if you invest tens of millions, you can win the female number one for Sister Zeng Li and sell Wu Yusen a favor, which is not bad." Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips. , "Anyway, we have a coal boss, Liu Qijin and the others are definitely willing to pay this money."

"When I do business, besides looking at money, I also care about my mood and people. I'm actually in a good mood today, but Wu Yusen, heh heh, three words, I'm not happy."

There was disdain in Lu Fei's eyes.

"Why?" Gao Yuanyuan wondered.

"What level is he? The owner of "Windtalker" that bankrupted MGM, and the lost dog who couldn't get along in Hollywood, he cooperated with me with a bad movie, but it seemed to be giving me a chance. Do you want to thank him?"

Lu Fei smacked his lips, knelt down to make money, then knelt down, kissed my shoe uppers, and then asked me for help, it sounded nicer to him, to pass on a message to Wang Jing?
Wu Yusen has no respect for me at all.

He doesn't even want to call me...
