Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 489 I stabbed in the throat
For several days in a row, Huang Bo and Bao Qiang brought their agents to interview the representatives of major film and television companies.

Huayi King, Guangxian Wang Changtian, Bona Yudong, LeTV CEO Zhang Zhao, Ali Entertainment Group Chief Financial Officer and Alibaba Pictures Vice President Zhang Wei, Tengxun Pictures CEO Chen Wu, Huace Film and Television Chairman Fu Meicheng, etc. .

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

Golf, horse riding, resorts, ultra-luxury hotels, membership-only clubs, and some famous entertainment venues in the imperial capital.

Cool..
Really cool!

Huang Bo and Bao Qiang felt that they had never been so glamorous in their life. They transformed from actors into guests of major companies.

Even though the two have starred in the "Looking for the Dragon", the "囧" series, and the "Tang Tan" series, which sold more than one billion yuan, their fame has greatly increased, and they have become one of the top actors in the Chinese film industry, but when facing the bosses of major film and television companies Sometimes you still have to say good things with a smile.

It's not like now, straighten your waist and talk to the bosses on an equal footing, talking and laughing together, drinking and tasting tea.

This is the quality of life!

When Huang Bo and Baoqiang contacted each other in private, they both shared their experiences over the past few days and couldn't help sighing on the phone.

However, the two enjoyed themselves, but they didn't forget the business. On the one hand, the sugar coating sent by the major film and television companies under him, on the other hand, they kept in mind Cheng Ruoguo Fang Ziheng's words.

Hesong Media.

In the general manager Li Xue's office, Baoqiang sat comfortably on the sofa, half-closed his eyes and stared at the ceiling, savoring the luxurious life these days.

On the opposite side, Li Xue was wearing a black silk professional suit, playing with the kung fu tea on the coffee table, and said with a light smile, "Okay, don't think about it."

"It's rare, let me take my time." Bao Qiang grinned, patted his thigh with his left hand, and said immersively.

Li Xuebai glanced at him, and said in a concentrated voice, "The real moment of enjoyment will be when "Havoc in Tianzhu" is released and sold at the box office."

"Right now, everything we touch is being paid in advance!"

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

Everything is for the distribution rights of the movie!

They bet again, betting that the movie can be a blockbuster!

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 the main controller Fang Hengyu Media, you can't get around Fang Ziheng.

Baoqiang understood Li Xue's advice in seconds, stood up, and took the famous tea from the other party.

While tasting, he said: "I called the director yesterday, and the director told me not to worry, and then look at the quotations 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 out to pick up her bag, and took out an A4 document.

In the document, it is the third round of quotations for "Havoc in Tianzhu" by major film and television companies these days.

Huayi Brothers, offer 6.2 million.

Ali Pictures, quoted 6.5 million.

Tencent Pictures, offer 6.5 million.

Enlight Media, quoted 6.1 million.

Bona Pictures, offer 6.3 million.

LeTV Pictures, offer 6.4 million.

Huace Film and Television has an offer of 6.3 million yuan.

Wanda Pictures, offer 6.5 million.

Hengdian Film and Television, with an offer of 6.1 million yuan, and two months of free shooting and framing in Hengdian Film and Television City.

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

Ali Pictures, Tencent Pictures, and Wanda Pictures, these three are big dogs, and they all quoted a guaranteed price of 6.5 million.

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

After a while, the two came up with a box office income of 6 million to 6.5 million.

"I'll go, so many."

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

With a guarantee of 6.5 million yuan, after deducting film funds and taxes, it will share 43% of the accounts with the theaters, and the net box office revenue will be 2.563 million soft sister coins.

Regardless of the publicity and distribution fee, after deducting the production cost of 8000 million, the producer has a net profit of 1.763 million.

Baoqiang's own studio accounts for 15%, and can get 2645 million.

Hesong Media accounts for 6%, which can be divided into 1058 million. Baoqiang star shareholders, who account for 10% of Hesong's shares, can be divided into another 100 million.

Including his director's and actor's remuneration, he can get a total of 3945 million soft sister coins.

A movie earns 4000 million!
Is this the right of the director?

For a moment, Bao Qiang was a little stupid. The data obtained from the mobile phone screen kept refreshing his cognition of movies.

I still remember that when he filmed "On the Journey" and "The Unknown", the film salary was 100 million, with a 80% discount of [-].

The filming of "Tang Detective 1" was 200 million, doubled.

The filming of "Lost in Thailand" was 300 million, which was increased by half, and the filming of "Lost in Hong Kong" was 600 million, which was doubled again.

The filming of "Tang Detective 2" was 1000 million yuan, reaching the peak salary of an actor of the Mesozoic generation in the Mainland.

In 2014, the male actors in the entertainment circle could count on one hand those who could get a salary of 1000 million.

Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming are five people. Wu Jing and Deng Chao are not included in the five because they have switched careers and directed movies.

What now..
Just preparing for the first film he directed in his life, the script has just come out, the actors have not yet been determined, and he earns 4000 million every minute!
Baoqiang was in a daze, not knowing what to say?
For a moment, he really wanted to promise Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, and Wanda Pictures, and get 4000 million in his hands.

uh-huh
Bao Qiang bit his lip sharply, looked at Li Xue who was also surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Xue, I am determined to be the director, and I must make "Havoc in Tianzhu" well.

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

"It's good if you understand that if you sing well, you can act, and if you act well, you can direct. Only the director can be regarded as standing at the top of the artist's food chain, and can have an equal dialogue with the superior capital."

Li Xue smiled, tapped the A4 paper delicately, and analyzed: "Judging from the quotations of various companies, "Havoc in Tianzhu" is guaranteed to rise again, and 7 million should be stable."

"Hengyu didn't participate in the third round of quotations, and will definitely make a move in the fourth round. Let's take a look at that time. If their quotations are not much different from other companies, choose them!"

"Hmm, I thought so too."

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

I have to mention that neither Baoqiang nor Li Xue actually thought that the guarantee of "Havoc in Tianzhu" could reach 10 billion.

It's not that I dare not think, but that I can't.

Movies are sometimes so mysterious, selling 8 to [-] million guarantees, if the movie is finally released and sells [-] million at the box office, everyone will say you are awesome and praise you even higher.

Your second movie will definitely sell 10 guarantees!

But if "Havoc in Tianzhu" sells a guarantee of 10 billion, the movie only sells 8 million box office, or 9 million box office.

Then send it!

Apart from the media and the audience, few people in the circle will say that you are really awesome, and the major film and television companies will crazily lower the price of your second movie.

Winners are always successful!

This sentence is most realistic in the film market!
As for Chen Daren and Lu Chuan's films, there are still people investing in their films. It can only be said that there are too many people who are stupid and rich, 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 affairs as usual.

Not at night, he has to work the rest of the place after the shower.

In the past few days, the young lady often stays in the director's bedroom.

In the crew canteen, Fang Ziheng was eating while listening to Fang Rou's report.

"Brother, now the major companies have paid 6.5 million for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu". The estimated prices of the film business department and the distribution department are almost the same. Even if we want to increase the price, we can only increase it a little."

"No, don't do that."

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

The group's assessment, meaning expression is obvious.

The total box office of "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" is expected to be less than 10 billion, and it is estimated to be 8 million to 9 million.

A little quotation is to slow down the growth rate of the guaranteed issuance, and to show that Hengyu Media is not in a hurry.

But this has a disadvantage, which is likely to cause Huang Bo and Bao Qiang to have opinions.

Hengyu headquarters withdrew, and Hengyu Interactive Entertainment took over the follow-up distribution competition, and the attitude became ambiguous at once.

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

Fang Ziheng smiled faintly, stuffed the shrimp into his mouth, got up and went back to his room.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and said: "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.

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

noon.

The news came out that Hengyu Interactive Entertainment offered a guaranteed price of 6.7 million yuan for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Heaven".

The major film and television companies were shocked, thinking that Fang Ziheng was very optimistic about the two films, and planned to distribute the two films under Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, so as to increase the company's stock price.

After the 6.7 million minimum guarantee, major companies have further judgment and evaluation.

First of all, LeTV Pictures withdrew from the competition.

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

LeEco's withdrawal was a last resort. Lao Jia really ran out of money, and had to pay more than 5 million real money to win the two movies.

LeTV is now a dilapidated house, with water leaks everywhere, and it will collapse if it is poked by an external force.

Guangguang and Huace withdrew, but felt that they could not compete with Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

In Hengyu Interactive Entertainment's [-]-billion empire, Andy is at the helm of the empire, and if she makes the move herself, at least a few more rounds of price have to be added.

Wang Changtian and Fu Meicheng are sensible people, and they stayed away from the whirlpool immediately.

Huayi, Bona Films, Wanda Films, Ali Films, and Tengxun Films are still unafraid, and have announced through their executives that they will never give up fighting for the guaranteed release of the two films.

Another day later, Huayi quoted 6.8 million for "Havoc in Tianzhu" for the fourth time.

Only 1000 million was added, and there was no quotation for "A Good Show".

At the same time, Bona made the opposite move, avenging the price of 6.8 million for "A Good Show", and gave up "Havoc in Tianzhu".

The coquettish operation of the two companies immediately attracted the attention of people in the circle.

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

"Hehe, Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong have a good plan. This is to concentrate their forces to attack one place and divide up two movies together!"

At the meeting, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge all guessed the intention of Huayi and Bona.

While the three of them scolded their mothers, they were also very happy in their hearts.

After all, we still have to have a strong capital to speak. Huayi and Bona admit that they are afraid, worrying that they will not be able to compare with the three companies in terms of cash flow.

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

"A Good Show" has an asking price of 7 million!
"Havoc in Tianzhu", the asking price is 7 million!
The three of them were so proud that they vowed to win two new films in one fell swoop and not give other companies a chance to share the meat.

After the price was announced, everyone was waiting for Hengyu Huyu's quotation.

But it's not soft!
Hengyu Huyu seems to have disappeared, and there is no intention of continuing to quote.

"Isn't it deliberately raising the price?"

Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Song Ge were in shock and couldn't figure out what Andy was up to.

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

People like Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong can't see the greed of the three companies.

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

Huayi still chose "Havoc in Tianzhu" with an offer of 7.5 million yuan, while Bona chose "A Good Show" with an offer of 7.5 million yuan.

Front hard steel!

The two traditional film and television giants are facing the Internet and real estate giants transformed film and television companies.

The posture of Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong swearing not to give up caused the eyelids of Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu and Song Ge to jump.

I'll go to your uncle!
A one-time price increase of 5000 million is crazy!

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

"Fuck, I guess they didn't hold their farts well!"

"This is to fight us to the death!"

The sound of abuse kept ringing out in the offices of the chairman of the three companies, and the temper 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. Xue Huayi and Bona only competed for one film.

Think more!
They have no chance!

At this time, Andy made a move, announcing to the outside world that he had won the guaranteed release of two films.

8 billion!
According to the latest financial report of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, they each offered 8 million guarantees for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu".

Huang Bo and Bao Qiang also stood up and stated that they were very relieved to hand over the film to Hengyu Interactive Entertainment for distribution.

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.

How did it get taken down by Hengyu Huyu?

The asking price is 8 million, that bitch Andy is really daring!
Does Fang Ziheng know, is it his idea?
Huayi Headquarters.

Wang Zhonglei's neck was red, he stared at his brother Wang Zhongjun with wide eyes, and said angrily, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Bao Qiang is so brave, he dared to play Hua Yi!"

During this period of time, he was smiling with each other, calling him brother and brother again, and his feelings were all fed to the dogs!

On the chairman's seat, Wang Zhongjun smoked a cigar without rushing, and sighed: "Okay, they didn't trick us, the one with the highest price gets it!"

8 billion guarantee!
Indeed, stepping on the limit price of major companies!

Huang Bo and Bao Qiang have not passed the director's test, they only have audience popularity and fame, and the new film they direct is at most this price.

At high, the risk is too great!
Wang Zhongjun's bottom line is 8 million, and the price higher than this must not be followed.

Thinking the same as him, there are also Bona Yudong, Wanda Pictures Song Ge, and Fan Luyuan and Chen Wu who are furious and furious.

Hengyu Mutual Entertainment offered 8 million yuan, which hit them seven inches at once, blocking the throats of five companies.

Ma Ma approved, Hengyu won again! !
