The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 122

After lunch, Jiang Bo and Xu Hao went home respectively.

Fang Mo went to the headhunting company to check the progress of recruiting new people and add new ones.

There is nothing to do in the evening, and I can relax until the next morning to meet with Jiang Bo and Xu Hao, and go to Xingyao Company to rent the venue together to check the progress of the construction.

……

"The racing car is indeed beautiful."

"It's just a little chaotic, even crazier..."

When Fang Mo went to the headhunting company, there were already enthusiastic comments on the Internet about the crazy racing webcast that was launched at 6 pm yesterday.

Thanks to the explosion of Crazy Racing in the summer, Crazy Stone’s webcasts became popular again in July and August.

Fang Mo received a considerable amount of revenue sharing. Now in total, the total revenue sharing from on-demand broadcasts has exceeded 1300 million, which is very good.

Crazy Racing will be released in theaters at the end of August.

Like the previous Stone, Racing is still sold on all three video windows and will continue to be available on demand.

However, the price has increased by 0.05 yuan.

A valid member click on Crazy Stone costs 0.25 yuan, while Crazy Racing’s price rises to 0.3 yuan.

Although it only increased by 5 points, the number of viewers of the Crazy Racing webcast will definitely surpass that of Crazy Stone. If the current revenue of 1300 million Stone is calculated in proportion, it will be 1560 million, which can increase by 20% year-on-year.

This ratio is quite a lot.

Yesterday, September 9, Fang Mo also got the six-hour online data this morning. Compared with the previous increase, Crazy Stone has about doubled. This is a good start, although the subsequent increase may be lower than that of Stone. After all, Stone was fermenting all the way. Up, and now that racing is on stone foundations, the fame has never been the same.

Anyway, a huge success.

The box office share of racing will not be until December or New Year's Day, because theaters and distributors need to report a good financial report at the end of the year, Fang Mo understands.

But the income from the racing webcast will be settled next month, which can make a huge amount of money.

At that time, Shitou’s first month sales were 812.5 million.

This time the car will at least break 1100 million, or even 1200 million, so in October next month, Fang Mo's pockets will be full again, and his back will be strong.

The project does not require any investment, so it is most suitable to use Starry Sky for development and expansion.

It’s just that the entire director team also has post-production equipment expenses. The funds previously reserved are enough and there is no need to invest more unless the project is established.

Xingkong has developed a project by itself, and this project has to be distinguished from Junhong and Hongtu.

For a while, Fang Mo hadn't decided yet. He only had a preliminary idea in his mind, and more than 1 million was actually not much, so he could only give it a try.

So it’s better not to rush yet, I don’t have that much energy for the time being, after all, there are a lot of things going on in Kyoto.

I also have to keep an eye on the construction progress of Xingyao, and meet with Xingyu and other partners to prepare for the start-up, so I don't have extra energy for the time being.

After all the calculations, it is still New Years Eve.

……

"Mr. Fang, that's it."

Xingyao has a person in charge of construction, who is the logistics staff that Gu Wensheng is looking for. Although there are not many people in the company, at least some workstation configurations and office decorations are being worked on, so the boss and employees can use it directly.

More than 300 square meters is enough for the time being.

On the basis of the original decoration, a certain amount of renovation and simple decoration has been completed. The final decoration and office equipment are currently being done. It can be completed within a week, so the staff must be recruited as soon as possible.

The issue of formalities is almost gone, and several directors have their own attorneys who are responsible for it. It is OK to sign all the documents today.

Several directors had discussed the listing date before, and it was initially set on September 9 next week.

Anyway, we don’t plan to invite the industry, so we can just launch it quietly and unveil it before the official launch of Xin Hua Lu Fang. The first project is naturally the contract for Jiang Bo and Xu Hao to star in Xin Hua Lu Fang.

"time is tight…"

Just having lunch, Fang Mo nodded.

Although everything seems to be going smoothly, a certain number of elite personnel must be recruited within a week. If we recruit casually, we will be done long ago. General positions are okay.

Key positions require elite people.

However, several directors worked together to find or dig suitable personnel, and they will be in place soon.

Moreover, several people have been identified and are just in the process of resigning from their former company.

On the other hand, Xinhua Lu put the phone on, and the meeting with Xingyu will be next Sunday, September 9th, and the distance is only more than a week, and it is also very close.

It's not chaotic, it's just a bit busy.

Although many of them don't need to be done in person, you need to keep an eye on them and participate in various social activities. It's not just a matter of making friends with Xingyu in Kyoto. If other industries invite you, you have to give face to attend.

It doesn't matter whether we cooperate or not, but there are many ways to make 'friends' by going to a drinking party. Even if we can't become friends, don't become enemies. It's a double-edged sword.

Not only Fang Mo, but also Jiang Bo and Xu Hao.

Both of them are artists. Not to mention the various complicated interpersonal relationships they have had in Kyoto for more than ten years, they cannot stay away from the favors or favors they have received from some companies over the years. The small investments they made long ago are now being exchanged for It will definitely pay off.

For example, Jiang Bo and Xu Hao spoke while eating and asked if there were any characters in the new drama.

Apart from anything else, they must have had a few friends in Kyoto over the years, either of the same sex or of the opposite sex. Now that they have returned to Kyoto, they will inevitably come to join in the fun.

Favors in personal relationships come to you.

……

"Nu, you two watch..."

Fang Mo showed the two of them a list of various characters in the main and branch plots of Xin Hua Lu Fang on his phone. Due to the popularity of the Crazy Series, although the plot of Xin Hua Lu Fang is relatively unsatisfactory, there are quite a few parties involved.

There is Junhong in Hangzhou, Hongtu Starlight in Shanghai, Xingyu in Kyoto, and some overlapping partners, etc. Everything that can be divided is divided.

"The robbery was so fierce?"

Jiang Bo sweated slightly. Not to mention the major companies competing for share. They were also competing for some roles, even those with only a few overseas lines. Those who passed the audition were finally gathered together with Fang Mo to make the final selection. Although There are still a few roles that haven’t been decided yet, but they’re coming soon.

"Let's wait for the next drama."

Fang Mo shrugged, "There are many roles in Xinhualufang, but so many partners are not enough. Now I really can't spare the time to send favors to you two. I might as well wait for your next drama, and you don't have to star in my drama. "

After "The Road to the Heart" is released, Jiang Bo and Xu Hao's fame will definitely reach a new level, so no matter who plays the role, they can make some demands.

Pay the film to become a shareholder, or ask for a role.

Fang Mo hasn't decided what to star in in his next drama. He is going to marry Qin Zisu after the romance is over, and the marriage will definitely take a sweet time, so he doesn't bother to think about it. He will wait until he gets married in a year. Anyway, he can write the script very quickly.

At that time, while enriching and perfecting it, it will be handed over to the partners to build the crew, so there will be no delay.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Hao touched his bald head and said, of course the favor must be repaid, but if there is no chance this time, he will have to do it next time. He can't just say that he won't act if he doesn't get the role.

At present, in China, Fang Mo's commercial director's box office performance is so great that few actors have any weight.

Although Fang Mo was very amiable in front of him and Jiang Bo and discussed everything through consultation, it did not mean that Fang Mo did not have a leadership temperament and should not go too far.

In the evening, Fang Mo, Jiang Bo and Xu Hao came to a restaurant near Jingying Film and met Gu Wensheng for dinner.

It was fun to sign documents, discuss the progress of the construction of Xingyao, the responsible sections, and future operations and development, etc.

Xingyu, on the other hand, is making intensive preparations for the Xinhualu release machine, with each party having its own division of labor.

One, two or three days passed quickly like this.

The accident didn't happen. Fang Mo also participated in some other wine bureaus in the industry and made some friends. Although we couldn't cooperate this time, next time or the next time, there's nothing wrong with getting familiar with each other first, but even this time There is no cooperation in Xinhua Lufang, but there are others.

For example, Qin Zisu asked Fang Mo to review three TV drama scripts before, and he also had the same invitation.

There are several scripts, which one is more suitable.

……

"It's all pretty good."

At the dinner, Fang Mo looked through three movie scripts and replied with a snake oil answer. The three scripts were indeed very good, but there were also shortcomings. There is no perfect script, and even the Crazy series is not perfect.

As for the boss's question about which movie has a higher chance of making a big profit, there's no answer. It's uncertain.

The market is ever-changing and difficult to say.

"Director Fang, you are cunning..."

Mr. Wu raised his glass, and he was not surprised by Fang Mo's panacea reply. How could people in the entertainment industry not be vigilant?

If the BC script is written by a big screenwriter in the industry, it will directly establish an enemy relationship.

Although he had no intention of harming Fang Mo, he still had to be on guard against others, and it would be the same if it were him.

"The market is too complex."

Fang Mo also raised his glass and took a sip. In the film market, the bigger the investment or the more famous the leading actor, the more profitable it is. It depends on the type of audience, the quality of the script, the director's ability and the starring's acting skills, etc., as well as the right time, place and people. It can be said that every There are factors that contribute to the success of a movie.

In other words, if a movie of decent quality wants to squeeze into the National Day summer and Spring Festival slots, it may not be better to come during the May Day Lunar New Year or an unpopular schedule. Popular schedules are good, but the competition pressure is also high, and it depends on luck.

"Yeah, the market is too complicated."

Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Director Fang must leave some opportunities for Mingde in his next movie."

This is today’s theme, or in other words, the dinner parties that Fang Mo has attended these days are all about this theme. Here in Kyoto, Xingyu has won the right to cooperate with Xinhua Lufang. Without the chance to intervene, he can only make another drama. , so it’s best to contact them in advance to get a commitment.

"If there is a chance, there will be."

"It's hard to say the share. Mingde also has several outstanding actors. I will definitely not forget if I get a suitable role in the future. They are all in the wine, so I will not forget."

Fang Mo smiled slightly. Each major industry group has its own outstanding artists. As long as the roles in the script are suitable in the future, there will be opportunities for cooperation. As for special customization, it is hard to say. I have no plans for the time being.

The filming for the drama after the new year has not yet been decided.

"OK, it's all in the wine."

Mr. Wu nodded and smiled, sighing, "However, the market is ever-changing, but comedies should become more popular in the next few years. The pace of national economic development and social interconnection is accelerating. It is difficult to find an audience for comedy, but it is difficult to find a good script. "

"The three scripts shown to Director Fang, to be honest, Mingde plans to make that comedy."

Hearing this, Fang Mo frowned, but didn't say anything more and just sent a blessing for success.

No matter how good the script is, it's just a script, and it depends on the director and the starring actors. After all, the status of screenwriters in the industry is actually a bit awkward. Big directors or big stars can change the script, but screenwriters generally have no say.

Ming De's comedy is pretty good. If it's done well, at least it won't make a loss. Making big money depends on luck.

I wish you success and say goodbye.

……

"Sister Dong, go to Jingying Film..."

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when the dinner ended, Fang Mo told the driver and assistant Qi Dong the destination.

Qi Dong is from the same company as Lin Yu.

The bodyguards and drivers Qin Zisu found have not been idle these days in Kyoto. In addition to being responsible for Fang Mo's personal safety and daily life, they are half-nanny and not responsible for work. Fang Mo has not found a work assistant for the time being.

There is only one copy of Starry Sky in total, and there is also the Star Glory that has not been built and unveiled, so there is not much going on.

Movie shooting projects are even simpler. Keep an eye on the progress of the construction, review and select the actors for the roles. You can handle it yourself at the moment, and you can look for the right ones when you are too busy one day. Then there will be suitable ones.

Qi Dong has short hair and a serious smile.

I don't care whether I report to Qin Zisu secretly or not, but it seems that I won't. There is still some professional ethics. In fact, it is not necessary as long as nothing special happens. There is no woman in Fang Mo's room these days. I stayed overnight, so I had nothing to report.

Since he was still the driver, Qi Dong didn't go to the table to have a drink, so he just waited outside if nothing happened.

When I went to Beijing Film Academy, I naturally met the teacher Gu Wensheng. The reason why I didn't stay at the teacher's house was because besides meeting Gu Wensheng, there were other extra people, such as the dean, the performing arts class teacher, etc.

Inviting him to come over was also a matter of business.

"Hello, Director Teng, hello, Teacher Du..."

Fang Mo came to Jingying by a familiar path, and Gu Wensheng was casual. The director of teaching was named Teng, and there was an acting class teacher named Du. The three of them were chatting.

"Fang Mo is here, sit down quickly..."

Director Teng laughed, his hearty laughter was contagious, and Teacher Du also smiled and nodded.

After Fang Mo took his seat, he started to talk about business. Gu Wensheng explained that it was not a fortress role, but that Fang Mo was asked to take a job at Jingying Film.

The success of Fang Mo's current career as a director will definitely mean leaving a name for himself in Beijing Film Academy, as well as a reputation.

Not to mention every month, at least one or two classes should be taught a semester, and there will be a salary as well.

"no problem."

Fang Mo nodded happily.

With his current performance as a director, he is fully qualified to be an honorary lecturer at Jingying Film. Although his monthly salary is not much, he has left a name in Jingying Film.

This preparation is the main value.

As for lectures, you don’t even need to prepare. Just talk about some concepts or architectural concepts.

Every director has his own characteristics even when he was a student, and they are generally not easy to change. And if you can enter the Beijing Film Director Class, you will also have talents and talents.

What is lacking is opportunity and market training. Gold will always shine in the big waves.
