The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 55 New Movies and New Goals
Caught in bed?

NO, those who are clear will clear themselves.

In the office on the second floor of the studio, Fang Mo invited Qin Zisu to sit down on the sofa and handed him a cup of hot water.

Originally serving tea and pouring water was Xiao Zhuang's job, but the little girl was a bit underwhelmed, so Fang Mo had better do it by himself. Anyway, in Junhong, Qin Zisu always refilled his tea and water, and now it's considered a transfer. Passed.

……

"Uh, tell me what you want."

Fang Mo sat down on the other side and said directly, Qin Zisu is not a person with ink marks. He just picked up the flight and sent him home to meet him last night. He came to see him today. He was still sure that he was in the studio. His head was spinning. .

"Tell me my plan."

Qin Zisu nodded and didn't mention what was going on downstairs with the girl at the front desk. Let's not talk about it.

"Junhong was founded by my aunt and several elders. It was not called Junhong at first. Later, it was renamed after receiving support from Hongtu."

“Although the development has been good in the past few years and the ranking has reached 4th in Hangzhou, the bottleneck has also reached.”

"There is some internal competition. You also learned about it after the last evaluation meeting of Shitou. This time I am planning to take down General Manager Jun Hong. The reason is that only in this way can you cooperate with Jun Hong in your new film. You must support me in sitting down." We will cooperate with you again only if you become the general manager.”

Fang Mo nodded quietly without saying a word.

Qin Zisu paused slightly, took a sip of water, and then continued, "We will discuss the cooperation model again. Now I need a bottom-line value. Whether it is the estimated box office of the new movie, it is Junhong's expected income."

"It may be a bit difficult to directly serve as general manager of Junhong, but it is not difficult to become acting general manager first."

"As long as I can complete the bottom-line profit in the end, it will be a certainty that Jun Hong is in hand."

"So, new projects are important."

Fang Mo nodded again, which means that it is not only about the complete establishment of his reputation as director Fang Mo, but also about Qin Zisu's complete control of Jun Hong and the bundling of interests.

As for the cooperation model, he believes that Qin Zisu will come up with a suitable plan and will not be greedy.

Making money is just a number, gaining power is the purpose.

……

"The box office is guaranteed to be 5 million."

Fang Mo pondered for a moment and said, "This value should be no more and no less. The shooting cost is estimated to be 1500 million, and the publicity cost will be 1 million. You can add it up yourself."

"Also, we are planning to start filming immediately after the new year, with a cycle of two months, in time for the summer release."

After hearing this, Qin Zisu nodded, OK.

She knew that the reason why Fang Mo was in such a hurry was to prepare for a head-on battle with Tianrui's 5 million project in the summer next year. The total investment was only half of the other party's. If the final box office could surpass it, it would be an absolute victory.

If Tianrui loses continuously, the brand will have a great success.

Anti-Drug Storm is produced by Shanghai Starlight as the main producer, and it also accounts for the majority of the share, with a total investment of 5 million.

Starlight itself is also the general agent of publicity and distribution, and the settled share negotiated with theaters will not be less than 42%. The total share of the distributor and producer can be 42%.

As for Tianrui, at most he can get his own small share from the producer's 35%.

Even if Anti-Drug Storm has a box office of 3 million and the producers share 1 million in profit, Tianrui Investment’s share of the profit is not even 1 million.

Su Manjing's highly praised reputation has collapsed.

Moreover, it also implicated its own brand in damage. Strictly speaking, Tianrui did not make a penny in the anti-drug storm project, and lost his troops even though he had to pay for his wife.

Next year's summer schedule, 5 million production is currently Tianrui's most important project, related to development.

If the company's projects fail again and again, the brand will be severely damaged. If the artists are poached again, come on, let's disband.

Tianrui's own brand is worthless, and any well-known artist will continue to rise and fall.

The industry is adding insult to injury and is dividing itself up.

……

Qin Zisu left and did not stay to have dinner with Fang Mo at noon. Fang Mo did not stay in the studio after lunch and went home to relax.

Xiaozhuang and Sister Chen, while guarding the gate, maintained the official account of the studio and posted roadshow updates.

As for Fang Mo's private account, ignore it.

"Director Fang, please give me a new song..." "Director Fang, please give me a new song..."

What's more funny is that the most discussed topic on Fang Mo's private Weibo account is asking for new songs. In terms of the proportion of people discussing movies, it's less than 1/5, which is very weak.

Now Fang Mo's private Weibo account has attracted 30 followers, a tenfold increase.

Before Su Manjing's first counterattack, she only had a measly 3 followers. Subsequent "overdoing" and "starting over" exploded, and the followers grew like crazy.

At the same time, the movie Crazy Stone's word-of-mouth explosion at the box office also attracted a lot of attention.

He is handsome, can write songs and make movies.

OMG, golden bachelor.

"Hey, I miss Su Manjing..."

"Yeah, why don't you come out and be a monster..."

"What a beast. Su Manjing has already fallen into silence and is still showing off. Does she still have a sense of public morality and compassion? It's so... so refreshing."

"Shit, I almost accidentally injured the friendly army upstairs. Next time, don't reverse the end at the end, it is easy to accidentally injure."

"Quack, I almost didn't put the knife away, especially Su Manjing's fans..."

At Zizhuwan House, Fang Momo looked through some comments but didn't reply or say anything. He didn't care what happened to Su Manjing. He just scratched his head when some fans and listeners asked for feedback on the new song.

It's okay to write songs occasionally for relaxation and entertainment, but if you want to write songs to make a debut album, or accept orders from the industry for custom creations, forget it, I'm not interested at the moment.

After going too far and starting over, it’s not that no one contacted me to ask for songs, it’s just that they simply didn’t want to accept the orders.

Lyricists and composers do not develop their main business.

……

Saturday the 5th, 1300 million.

Sunday the 6th, 1200 million.

Although it was Saturday and Sunday, I had to work both days to make up for the New Year's Day break, so Crazy Stone only took in 2500 million at the box office in two days, and 7 million on Monday the 1000th.

So far, Crazy Stone has reached 15 million in 3.65 days after its release of 18 million in 4 days.

At the same time, the box office on the 8th will soon fall below the [-] million mark, and it will completely enter the box office grinding mode. The number of hundreds and millions will gradually decrease, and it will rise slightly and then fall again when the weekend is closed, until the release date arrives.

"Hiss, the release has been postponed..."

"Definitely, no surprise."

"After all, it's a super movie with a huge reputation. It can still make money even after the full moon."

Suddenly, on the morning of the 8th, Hongtu officially announced that the theater chain had postponed the release date of "Crazy Stone". It was originally scheduled for mid-to-late January 1st and was postponed to the 21st at the end of this month.

Although according to the current weak box office trend of Stone, it is basically no problem to reach 21 million on the 5st.

But if it is postponed to the 31st of the month and released for ten more days, it will be 100% 5 million.

The Lunar New Year box office champion deserves its name.

You know, nowadays, there are only about ten domestic movies with a box office of over 5 million, and the highest is 8 million. Crazy Stone can win 5 million in the Lunar New Year, which is very hard.

"By the way, if The Stone is released during the Spring Festival, can it still achieve high box office?"

"The probability is half and half."

"Although the country has a seven-to-eight-day holiday during the Spring Festival, which can greatly increase the box office of the film market, but compared with the films of real famous directors, Director Fang is still a bit behind, and the lead actor is not famous enough to complete the film."

"Director Fang picked up a good time slot. There is a one-week window after the end of the world. He is very lucky."

"That is, if there is no market window for a week, Stone's reputation will not completely ferment and explode."

"Director Fang, your strength is still a bit weak."

"Hey, I was blown away by Su Manjing..."

Words such as bargain hunting, good luck, weak strength, etc. came into Fang Mo's ears, and he couldn't help but hum, "You are stupid, uncle, please keep your eyes open during the summer after the new year. I am strong, hard, strong, and ruthless, and I am not weak at all."

"The target is pointed, the summer championship."
