The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 114 Qin Hongluan's Approval
Tuesday, August 8th, Chinese Valentine’s Day.

Produced by Junhong, the urban emotional drama "The Lovelorn Girl's Counterattack" was released. The crazy series' reputation was also boosted by the Chinese Valentine's Day, with a premiere of nearly 2 million.

1800 million the next day, starting to make money back.

1400 million on the third day, and a total of 5200 million in three days is quite qualified and considered excellent.

……

"The film is average, not bad."

"It's cliché, but it's still watchable."

"I went to watch it because of Jun Hong's production. Otherwise, the title of the show would have been very cliché. I didn't expect the plot and acting to be okay. It's considered qualified..."

"The only love movie during the Chinese Valentine's Day, it is definitely popular and the schedule is very suitable."

"Indeed, we won't rush into last Friday's schedule, nor will we squeeze into this Friday's schedule. There will be no fights in the middle of the release..."

"The Love-Broken Girl's Counterattack" itself is a low-cost production. The male and female protagonists are famous but not great, and their acting skills are also serious and qualified. With the love and workplace elements, it is basically not competitive with big productions.

Therefore, it does not interfere with taking over the schedule of Saturday and Sunday on Friday, and it would be good to release it on Tuesday during the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Payback in two days, 5200 million in three days.

Logically speaking, it is qualified, but Junhong is a bit like chewing wax. Although it is profitable, it is boring after enjoying the explosive profits of the crazy series.

The final box office is expected to be around 1 million. Any higher will not work, it is too cliché.

The producer split 3500 million, and after subtracting the total cost of 1300 million, the net profit was 2200 million. In fact, it was quite good. In total, it was even more than what was earned on Crazy Stone. After all, although Stone had a high box office, it was Fang Mohe who made the big profit. Qin Zisu and Jun Hong actually only have 1500 million.

But it doesn’t matter, now that Junhong has Fang Mo joining the team, the movie section is complete.

"The meeting is dismissed and we will discuss it on Monday..."

Jun Hong and Qin Zisu have ended the meeting. There is no need to discuss the movie Heart of Flowers again. The crew has just finished setting up the project and starting shooting. The main discussion this time is the TV series project, and they have not decided which one to shoot.

Three urban dramas, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Since Junhong wants to develop in an all-round way, it is definitely indispensable to launch some outstanding projects. It cannot just focus on film development and ignore TV dramas.

Moreover, Tan Xin is not the only one to be poached. If his reputation and acting skills are not up to the level of starring in movies, he will always have to develop a TV series or exchange suitable character resources with other industry players to develop and expand in an all-round way.

At the same time, the same goes for the music section.

Today, Friday, Qin Zisu made an appointment with Fang Mo to have dinner at her aunt's house. By the way, she took a look at which of the three script proposals was better and helped analyze the pros and cons.

Although Fang Mo is the honorary director of Junhong, there is no need to stay in Junhong when he doesn't care about things.

So if there is anything important, he will fantasize about it in his own starry sky. If there is something important, Qin Zisu will notify Fang Mo to come to Junhong, and the couple will each take one.

……

"Director Qin, excuse me..."

Fang Mo's attitude was humble and polite in the duplex room of Xitingbiefu. After all, he was not Qin Zisu's family.

Qin Hongluan smiled back, "Go and rest for a while. I just need Zi Su to help me in the kitchen."

Fang Mo nodded. Qin Zisu brought three TV drama scripts for him to read. Being idle is always more leisurely than squeezing in the kitchen to choose and wash vegetables.

"Uh, life is beautiful?"

In the kitchen, Qin Hongluan and Qin Zisu were busy preparing six dishes and one soup for dinner. On the sofa in the living room, Fang Mo opened the first script and started sweating a little, as if chewing wax.

Apart from anything else, the title of this TV series alone is hard to attract attention. The plot is about family and emotions.

Regardless of how wronged the heroine is, how unreasonable the family is, the ending is happy and happy.

Fang Mo was not interested in this kind of drama.

"Mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"

For the second part, Fang Mo was sweating again. The title of the drama is a bit off-putting, but the plot is all about common sense and the male protagonist and the female protagonist have various career ups and downs. It can’t be said to be bad, but Fang Mo, a man, doesn’t like it very much. look.

It belongs to the audience type of middle-aged and elderly people.

"Destined!"

Fang Mo watched the third copy carefully.

Just by looking at the title of the drama, you can tell that it focuses on the love and career of young men and women, not family life, and is a genre preferred by young people, but you still have to read the plot.

In fact, no matter which of the three scripts you film, the leading actor must be chosen appropriately, and it is best to be popular with the audience.

Whether you watch it on TV or online, the main actor who is popular with the audience is basically the same. No matter how bloody and cliché the plot is, it just keeps going back and forth. As long as the main actor is famous and eye-catching, it is actually OK.

Many times people watch TV series not for the plot but for the actors. If they don’t have the eye for it, they’ll watch it no matter what. If they have the eye for it, they can tolerate it even if they play the villain.

So any of the three scripts will work. The key is whether the leading actor can be invited.

"How, which one is suitable?"

Suddenly, Qin Zisu exploded softly.

Unknowingly, nearly an hour passed and Qin Zisu's help was basically no longer needed in the kitchen. Qin Hongluan could start the meal after finishing the last two dishes.

"Well, it's not too bad..."

Fang Mo didn't hide it, "I feel that Jun Hong still hasn't found his own position. Although the cost of these three scripts is relatively small, other big companies in the same type of industry are also working on them. Their scripts are better and they have invited leading actors." And better yet, how to compete?”

"I'll be in charge of the movie section. TV series can't be too small and slow."

Qin Zisu frowned and thought slightly.

"Are you going to do a big production?"

Fang Mo nodded and then shook his head, "Only big productions can support artists. Otherwise, there is no need to work hard, spend money and time just to make a little money. Of course, Junhong is not very powerful, and it is not enough to be too good and ambitious. In fact, it can be crossed with other industry projects. cooperate."

"Whether it's a share or a good role, try to choose a well-known production."

"Rather than just shut yourself up."

……

It is not wrong for Qin Zisu to want to develop Junhong to a new level as soon as possible, but it is wrong to set up some small projects by himself. There is no point in putting in the effort and effort to achieve little results. Even if it is used to promote newcomers, it is better to star in supporting roles in well-known big productions. higher efficiency.

It is a small project with no topic and no popularity. Unless the script is very high-quality, it is useless.

"Okay, let's eat first..."

Qin Hongluan greeted, the food is ready.

Qin Zisu was a little depressed. She didn't expect to be criticized like this. She was hit before she even started to make bold moves, even though what she said was reasonable.

I can accept criticism, but it's still a bit unpopular. This is the wrong direction of development.

"Fang Mo, just feel free to do whatever you want..."

At the dining table, Qin Hongluan glanced at Qin Zisu and greeted Fang Mo with a smile. Although she didn't know what the two of them had just said, the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

"Well, I'll do it myself."

Fang Mo took the spoon and first served Qin Zisu a bowl, and then served himself. As for Qin Hongluan, he made it by himself and didn't need anyone to serve him.

Today we don’t use serving chopsticks anymore, the three of us just look at the dishes, and we are a family.

There is no need to distinguish so finely.

"Zisu, what's wrong?"

Qin Hongluan then turned around and asked. Qin Zisu was silent for a while and briefly explained Fang Mo's point of view. He was a little confused for a while. How to develop the TV series? "Well, take your time..."

Qin Hongluan was noncommittal. Although he didn’t need to worry too much about Junhong’s development, Qin Zisu’s development strategy was actually not wrong. It was actually safe to take his time with small projects. Big projects were not so easy to get involved with. First of all, high-quality scripts were difficult to come up with. Come on, Jun Hong is not qualified.

Junhong has no big screenwriters of its own, and excellent screenwriters basically cooperate with big companies in the industry.

Even the ones submitted to Jun Hong are all newcomers or junior and middle-level screenwriters, and there are no big winners.

Although there are many excellent novels on the market, they are basically all in the hands of big companies. They have already monopolized the original website or the author. Without a big screenwriter or a high-quality script, how can we talk about big productions?
We can only take small productions and small developments.

"Uh, I didn't say no..."

Fang Mo coughed dryly and smiled, "I just think small projects are a waste of time and energy. In the end, they won't make much money and the artists won't be well-received. It's meaningless."

"Junhong does not have to be the main investor in the project, just jointly participate in large projects in the industry."

"Making money is not the main strategy at the moment, but cultivating the hired artists to a new level. Supporting roles in big productions are better than leading roles in small projects."

This is Fang Mo's point of view, just like the treatment of Tan Xin, Xinhua Lufang plays the female San Siqing.

Instead of starring in a small production of Junhong himself, which may not be effective in the end, it is better to star in a big production of the second or third female, which will attract more attention.

Or a big-budget villain, too.

……

"Zisu, what do you think?"

Qin Hongluan turned around and asked, chatting while eating.

Fang Mo's opinion is not unreasonable, but it is just an opinion. In the end, it depends on the wishes of Qin Zisu, General Manager Junhong. This is the source.

Therefore, development planning is very important. Once the direction of development is wrong, it will equal half the effort with half the effort.

For example, if three or five TV series are planned but none of them are successful, the general manager will be derelict in his duties.

"It's a bit unclear."

Qin Zisu's tone was low, "I'm not afraid of taking my time, but I'm afraid of wasting the development time of the company and artists. If there are no results in two years, it will be equivalent to working in vain. After two or three years, it will be a joke to stand still."

"Well, it makes sense."

Qin Hongluan smiled and said, "Although I am not decisive, there is nothing wrong with thinking more about the gains and losses. After all, if you go in the wrong direction, your efforts will be in vain, and you will inevitably feel anxious."

"Let me give you an opinion..."

"Two paths go together."

Qin Zisu raised his head, and Fang Mo also stared.

Qin Hongluan shrugged in relief, "Fang Mo's starting point and direction are obviously more effective, but Jun Hong didn't get a screenwriter and a high-quality script. What if he can't exchange big production projects and roles, and he won't develop?"

“It’s not impossible to set up some small productions on our own, but we can adjust the overall strategy.”

"Try the web drama model."

Fang Mo's eyes suddenly brightened, it was feasible.

If he has to go into TV dramas, Jun Hong actually has no competitiveness with big companies in the industry. Even if he can write some scripts, he doesn't have enough energy right now.

Web dramas are now in the development stage. There is no need to pursue TV stations and broadcast online.

There is no need for famous people like Tan Xin to adopt the large-scale production and development model, but for some potential newcomers in the company, they can adopt online dramas.

Youth campus, suspenseful crime solving, costume comedy, etc. are perfectly suitable for promoting potential newcomers.

"Internet drama?"

Qin Zisu frowned and Qin Hongluan nodded.

"It's understandable that you are busy with work and don't have time to catch up on some dramas online. Now that you are still the general manager, the board of directors will basically not object to the development direction. Without objections, it is easy for you to be blindly confident."

"The point of Fang Mo's objection today is not that three scripts are not enough, but that having bystanders can remind you of some shortcomings in the development strategy."

"That's the most important thing."

Qin Zisu nodded slowly, as if this was really the case. She said that she would establish a TV series, and then the production department would start looking for script invitations. She had no objection.

The board of directors will not question the efficiency of the development direction. It is the decision of the general manager anyway.

If you don't object, why bother to find discomfort.

……

"Director Qin has good suggestions."

Fang Mo said at the right time, "The cost of small-scale online dramas is lower, and the quality of production can be better improved without competing on TV. It is very suitable to promote new talents in the company, and the potential of online dramas is actually great."

"Just like the Crazy Series, the revenue from online broadcasts is very considerable, and iQi has established its own online drama business development department, which shows that it is very optimistic about online dramas."

"Youth campus, crime-solving suspense, costume detective comedy, etc. can be focused on development."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hongluan nodded.

She didn't expect that Fang Mo would expand his association a lot in just a moment. The future development potential of online dramas is not small. iQi is a big platform and they have set up a dedicated business development department. There is nothing to worry about.

In the Internet age, watching movies and TV series on mobile phones has gradually become the norm. Students and young people will gradually abandon watching TV, and there is no need to pursue it.

Of course, newcomers are suitable for online dramas, but those who really want to support artists should go for large-scale TV productions.

"Well, let me think about it."

Qin Zisu nodded. Although he accepted the suggestion, he still had to do some research. After all, it was related to Junhong's development in the past two or three years, so he couldn't be too hasty.

No matter how small the grade of TV dramas is, they are still higher than online dramas. This is the current perception of the industry and market.

Just like many artists no longer act in TV dramas after becoming a big movie star, one is to waste time and energy, and the other is to reduce the specifications and prices.

Online dramas, TV series, and movies are being promoted layer by layer rather than gradually, depending on the market environment.

"If you have nothing to do, talk to Fang Mo more..."

Suddenly, Qin Hongluan changed the topic and warned, "At least Fang Mo will tell you the truth and won't hide any opinions he has, so that you can see more clearly. You are now the general manager of Junhong, and the board of directors is A group of people who don't like to use their brains can easily be blinded."

It is not good to have too capable subordinates. At present, the Junhong board of directors is under Qin Zisu's dictatorship. Even Lin Hai, who has ideas, has no ideas.

If you don't cooperate, the consequences will be dire.

Not to mention the others who have always been supportive. Qin Zisu's direction is their direction. Anyway, even if the direction is wrong, they are just following orders. They can do whatever the boss says. If they go wrong, it is none of their business.

"Well, I will."

Qin Zisu nodded and whispered.

She was a little bit shocked today, and she really should reflect. She has been a little swollen recently, and she and Fang Mo got back together emotionally. Jun Hong's successive successes in the film sector have lost her eyes, which is safe but not accurate enough.

"Okay, let's eat..."

Qin Hongluan greeted him at the right time, looked at Fang Mo and smiled, "Husband and wife should help each other in the future. If Zisu has anything wrong, speak up boldly, don't be spoiled."

"If you are a boyfriend and husband, if you just follow along and don't refute, you are not qualified."

"Well, don't worry, Director Qin."

Fang Mo nodded, his eyes slightly focused.
