Domination Entertainment started from the richest man in Xihong City

A few days later, "The Legend of Emperor Xin" was released.

In the end, the box office was locked at 57.8 billion, far exceeding the 39.8 billion of the previous box office champion "Charlotte Annoyance".

But the problem is that the ticket price of "The Legend of Emperor Xin" is almost three times that of "Charlotte Annoyance".

In other words, the actual number of viewers of "The Legend of Emperor Xin" is much smaller than that of "Charlotte Annoyance".

Seeing this data, Wang Duoyu scratched his head helplessly.

In fact, this data is already very good, but not good enough.

"Charlotte's Annoyance" invested more than 5000 million yuan, and it was still a case of publicity, while "The Legend of Emperor Xin" cost more than one billion yuan just to shoot.

The profits of the two parties are not at the same level at all.

Although the score of "The Legend of Emperor Xin" on Douban is much higher than that of "Charlotte Annoyance", reaching 9.1 points.

But Wang Duoyu doesn't look at these, he only looks at the final profit.

一部电影的盈利是总票房交3%的电影基金和5%的税，其余92%由他和院线按43%：57%分。

"Charlotte Annoyance" has a box office of 39.8 billion, and he can get 15.7 billion in revenue, and the investment of this movie is only 5000 million, which is equivalent to more than 15 billion in net profit.

The box office of "The Legend of Emperor Xin" was 57.8 billion, but he only got 22.8 billion in revenue. After deducting the cost of more than 17 billion, he finally paid only 5 million.

The income of 5 million yuan seems to be a lot, but compared to the risks borne by "The Legend of Emperor Xin", it is not worth it at all.

Not to mention the low profit, what if something unexpected happens one day, and he shoots another movie with a cost of more than one billion, and the final box office is only 30 billion?

Isn't that a blood loss?
In the end, it just made a lot of money for the theater.

Reminiscent of the possible plunge in theater ticket prices in the future, Wang Duoyu thought for a long time, and finally canceled the shooting of the "Fengshen" series.

The filming cost of "Emperor Xin Biography" alone exceeds 17 billion, and there are many hidden costs that have not been counted.

For example, publicity costs, script production, and some miscellaneous invisible expenses add up to not a small sum.

And the income he brought did not support Wang Duoyu to continue filming this series of films at all.

Therefore, the "Fengshen" series has been marked as a pass in Wang Duoyu's plan.

"Contact the editors who wrote the scripts of the 'Fengshen' series before, and they said that there is no need to write the 'Fengshen' series in the future, and then the TV series version of "The Legend of Emperor Xin" should be suppressed. There is no need to do special effects, and it will be dusted in the company's materials. Bar."

Wang Duoyu told Elsa in front of her.

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Elsa also nodded, "Alright Mr. Wang, do you have any other arrangements?"

Elsa wasn't surprised by Wang Duoyu's choice.

Wang Duoyu himself is not an adventurous person. Most of the time, his pursuit of movies and TV series is not to make money, but to not lose money.

And this time the Fengshen series is nothing more than a risky act he made to solve the company's profit problem in the future.

But the result was not as good as Wang Duoyu thought, so it is not surprising that this series was stopped.

"There are no other arrangements for the time being, just pay attention to when Yan Fei's movie will finish."

"Ok."

Elsa responded and walked out of the office.

After Elsa left, Wang Duoyu was thinking about what script to write today to prepare for next year, when the phone rang suddenly.

After pressing the answer button, Huang Bo's voice came from the phone.

"Hey Mr. Wang, are you busy?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"This is Mr. Wang. I have a good script here. Do you think you are interested?"

"Oh?" Wang Duoyu's voice raised a little.

Not to mention, he was really interested, after all, every time Huang Bo called him, he was here to give money.

"Who is the director this time?"

"I want to try it myself." Huang Bo's voice was a little embarrassed.

This made Wang Duoyu stunned for a moment, and then realized which movie Huang Bo was talking about.

"A Good Show"

For this movie, Wang Duoyu is still very impressed, but it is not a particularly good movie.

The ability to absorb gold is not strong, so Wang Duoyu is a little hesitant.

Seeing that Wang Duoyu had been silent, Huang Bo on the other end of the phone couldn't help explaining: "Mr. Wang, although I have never been a director, everyone has their first time. Didn't Chen Sicheng and Wu Jing complete it before?" It’s not bad, and I’ve wanted to make a movie for a long time, so I want to try it.”

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu decided to give him a chance, but
"How about this, you come to my company with the script first, let's meet and talk."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll be there this afternoon. Do you have time?"

"Yes, you can just tell the front desk that you have an appointment with me when you arrive."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, then I won't disturb your work."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu rubbed his chin to think.

"A Good Show" is actually not a bad movie and has the potential to be a good movie, but many things are not good enough and need to be slightly changed.

However, Wang Duoyu really can't remember the specific plot, and only remembers a general idea.

He planned to wait until he read the script in Huang Bo's hand before thinking about how to do it.

In the afternoon, Huang Bo came to Duoyu Media as scheduled.

Wang Duoyu also saw the script in his hand.

Sure enough, it is the "A Good Show" in Wang Duoyu's memory

After reading the script, I found that it was not much different from the place I remembered from my previous life.

When Wang Duoyu put down the script, Huang Bo who was opposite him looked at him nervously, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

"Tsk." Wang Duoyu smacked his mouth, "You wrote this?"

Huang Bo nodded, "Because I have no experience as a screenwriter before, the writing may not be very good in many places, Mr. Wang, please forgive me."

"It's okay, this is not a big problem." Wang Duoyu shook his head, then thought for a while and said: "Actually, if someone else came to me for such a script, I might refuse it directly, but if it is you, I can give you a chance, after all, we have been working together for so long, and we are old acquaintances."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Huang Bo's face, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you, thank you."

However, before he finished his thanks, Wang Duoyu continued: "I can invest money, but you need to change some things."

"Speak, Mr. Wang."

Huang Bo immediately sat up straight.

After all, this is a script he wrote. I dare not say that I am 100% satisfied, but most of them still like it. If Wang Duoyu requires too many changes, or if there are too many things that need to include Wang Duoyu's style, Then he lost what he wanted to express, and what he finally presented may be completely different from what he wanted to express before.

But he was also worried that he would not change Wang Duoyu and would not invest money, so he could only look at Wang Duoyu nervously.

Wang Duoyu also saw his nervousness, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, I'm just talking about my own opinions."

"You say."

"Number one, black humor, absurd films. Either you're absurd to the very end, like Wilder Tales, or you don't want this part of the performance, not a combination of comedy, disaster, romance, sci-fi, ethics, etc. body.

Second, the description of comedy in this script makes me feel a little embarrassed, awkward jokes, awkward routines, if there is no good comedy plot, you can actually ignore the comedy part and directly remove the comedy from the movie Also harmless.

Third, it’s okay to speak the truth, but don’t be so blunt and direct. The truth and philosophy are shown in the film silently, rather than holding a banner to teach.The script of your movie made a mistake that many domestic movies make. Either it has no connotation and is pure nonsense, or it has too much connotation and too much force.

Fourth, it’s enough for a movie to tell a story well, but if there are too many, you can’t remember anything. Your script gives me the feeling that you are trying to show the audience a history of modern social evolution, but this is not the audience’s desire to enter the movie theater. want to see something.If they want to see the history of evolution, they can watch science and education films, which will make them more comfortable and understand this society.

In general, your film script gives me the feeling that you put your heart into it, but you missed the point. Instead, for some reason, you wanted to shoot and integrate too many factors, and finally presented a four-dimensional image. "

After listening to Wang Duoyu's words, Huang Bo was also silent for a while.

"Thank you, President Wang, for your teaching. Maybe it's because I haven't had similar experience before, so the scale of this kind of thing is not enough."

Wang Duoyu also nodded, "That's true. If you don't plan to change the shooting, I can support you. After all, you are still a good person. This money is nothing to me. I can believe it. You once. But if you want to change, I can introduce someone to you, maybe it will help you."

"Mr. Wang, what are you talking about?"

There was a hint of curiosity on Huang Bo's face.

"Jiang Wen." Wang Duoyu said these two words lightly.

In fact, there are quite a few domestic directors who like to make black humor movies, and there are quite a few good ones.

But no one has ever left such a deep impression on people like Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen's impression is very pure, he just fucking likes metaphors, hints, and likes to do something.

He can't wait to squeeze countless vagueness into his limited movie time.

The audience must watch the movie dozens of times to understand it best.

There are pros and cons to such a hobby.

The advantage is that if you succeed, you can directly enshrine the gods, such as "The Devil Is Coming" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

The disadvantages are also obvious. Sometimes there are too many metaphors, which directly make the audience unable to understand.

For example, "Hidden Man" has not yet appeared in this world.

There are too many elements in this stuff, and the audience doesn't want to watch it.
"Director Jiang? If you can be directed by Director Jiang, it will definitely help the film, but Director Jiang is too famous, maybe"

What Huang Bo said was relatively cryptic, but Wang Duoyu still understood what he meant.

He was worried that after Jiang Wen got involved, nothing would happen to him.

So Wang Duoyu waved his hand directly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can discuss the script with him, and you won't trouble him when you go back to shoot. If he enters the scene, it's nothing to you."

Wang Duoyu knew Jiang Wen's character very well.

If he really entered the stage, the director Huang Bo would really be useless.

You know, when Jiang Wen was banned from directing, he once starred in a movie called "Looking for a Gun".

On the surface, the screenwriter and director of this movie are both Lu Chuan, but in fact, anyone who has watched this movie can tell.

There are too many elements of Jiang Wen in it.

It feels like Lu Chuan and the whole movie have completely changed into Jiang Wen's shape.

If you don't look at the director's name, at first glance this is directed by Jiang Wen!
This is still the case of Jiang Wen as the starring role.

If he is not the lead actor, but the director, it is impossible for other directors to do anything.

In the end, the film is completely in the shape of Jiang Wen, and there will be no such thing as Huang Bo.

"If you just discuss the script with Director Jiang, I think it's okay."

"That's fine. I'll contact you guys to get to know each other. You can talk to him more privately to see if you can change the script. It's best if you can, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. There is still room for filming in this movie."

"Alright Mr. Wang, I'll trouble you then."

"It's okay." Wang Duoyu waved his hand indifferently.

He was really optimistic about Huang Bo.

In fact, the final word-of-mouth of this movie is not bad, not good, but not bad, it belongs to the kind that is generally not bad.

But if there is a choice, Wang Duoyu naturally wants to have a better reputation.

If nothing else, at least make money.

In his previous life, Huang Bo earned 13 billion box office with this movie. In this life, with the addition of his Duoyu Media name, he can at least get a few hundred million more box office.

】

If the quality of the movie can be raised a little higher, maybe it can break through 20 billion, and in this case, the profit will be more.

This is why Wang Duoyu helped Huang Bo improve the script.

In order to make a little more money.

The two then chatted for a few more words, Wang Duoyu gave Jiang Wen's contact information to Huang Bo, and by the way called Jiang Wen in front of Huang Bo, asking him to help.

Jiang Wen didn't have any objections, anyway, he was just discussing the script, and at the moment he was patting his chest and talking about Ogou Bak.

A few days later, Wang Duoyu received an expected but unexpected news.

"Mr. Wang, "Urgent" is finished."

When Elsa said this, there was obvious weirdness on her face.

Although she knew that this movie was an extremely bad movie, she never expected that it only took ten days from the project approval to the finalization of the movie.

"It's finished? Then why are you still staring blankly, let Yan Fei hurry up to edit, and then let the company increase the publicity, and quickly ask the netizens to pay back the movie tickets owed to us."

"Uh, Mr. Wang, Director Yan said that you may need your help to pass the review of this movie. Under normal circumstances, there is no way to pass the review."

"Huh?" Wang Duoyu looked at Elsa suspiciously.

He hasn't read the script of this movie, so he doesn't know what the plot is.

"What's the matter, what shameful thing did he shoot?"

Elsa shook her head, "It's not like this one, it's just that the filming is a bit bad."

"It's nothing if it's a bit bad. There are a lot of bad movies these days. It's normal to be a bit bad. Let him edit it out and submit it for review first, but then come to me."

"Director Yan has finished editing."

Wang Duoyu: ? ? ? ?
"Didn't you just wrap up?"

"Yes."

"Finished editing?"

"Yes."

"Brilliant!"

Wang Duoyu knew that it would be very fast to shoot a bad movie, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

After more than ten days, from project approval to finalization, to editing, it can now be submitted for review directly!
"Show me the film."

Elsa handed over a USB flash drive, and Wang Duoyu plugged it into the computer and watched it directly.

Just watching the first 5 minutes, Wang Duoyu felt like he had hemorrhoids all over his body, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

"Fuck, this is too bad!"

Wang Duoyu couldn't resist swearing in front of Elsa for the first time.

In just 5 minutes, Wang Duoyu feels like a century has passed.

There is no way to describe this movie as bad, it makes people doubt life!
This is even more outrageous than the "Pure Mind Chasing Dream Showbiz" in Wang Duoyu's memory!
Is this fucking something that people can take pictures of?
The scenes are crude, the lines are awkward, and the acting is weird.

That's right, a group of film kings and powerful actors gathered together, and the film produced can be described as weird acting.

Elsa on the side also noticed Wang Duoyu's expression at this time, so she explained, "Director Yan said that as long as the acting skills are not particularly obvious fakes, he will go through them directly."

Wang Duoyu:
"I see."

After watching it for another 5 minutes, Wang Duoyu finally couldn't hold back and turned off the movie.

see you!
When I think of the audience walking into the theater full of expectations, and then seeing such a thing.
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think, Wang Duoyu doesn't dare to think at all.

At this moment, Wang Duoyu felt that his 1000 million yuan was worth it, because ordinary people really couldn't make this kind of bad movie.

But I don't think it's worth it, because to make a bad movie, do you need any tricks?

"I'll say hello over there."

After thinking about it, Wang Duoyu said such a sentence.

Yan Fei's worry is not without reason.

Even as an investor, I feel that hot eyes can't stand it, so how can the reviewers stand it.

Such a bad film, it is quite difficult to think about it.

Even if it barely passes the review, if you don't say hello, it is estimated that it will be forcibly released within two days.

Thinking of this, Wang Duoyu also took out his mobile phone and called Jing Tian.

"Hey, why does Mr. Wang think of me when you have time?"

"It's been a long time since I contacted Miss Jing, what are you doing now?"

"Hey, Mr. Wang will actually care about me one day? I'm afraid there are some movies that can't pass the trial?"

"Oh, how can Miss Jing say that, what if it's a TV series?"

Jing Tian:.
"Okay, let's talk straight, is it a TV series or a movie?"

"The movie, it's an outrageous movie. I'm afraid it might be released within two days without Miss Jing's help."

"Release? It seems that Mr. Wang thinks he can pass the trial."

"The problem of passing the review should not be a big problem, after all, it is not an illegal film."

"Oh? I'm interested when you say that, can you send me a look?"

"Okay, I'll send you now."

"Okay, I'll tell you over there after I finish watching."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu directly sent "Urgent" to Jingtian.

A few minutes later, Jing Tian sent a message to Wang Duoyu.

"Can people take pictures of this????"

Several question marks in succession indicated that Jing Tian was also in an extremely restless mood at this time.

Wang Duoyu also sent a message to explain the source of this movie a little bit.

After listening to the explanation, Jing Tian didn't reply to Wang Duoyu's message.

"It seems that this has a great impact on her."

Wang Duoyu muttered to himself.

Elsa on the side also gave Wang Duoyu a supercilious look after hearing it.

"I don't think normal people can accept this movie, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly became weird.

Since no one can accept it, then if...
