China Entertainment: Return to 2007

The next day, under Mina's attentive service, Xu Ge got up like an emperor.

After washing and having breakfast, Xu Ge personally sent Mina to the set.

Of course, he parked the car two kilometers away from the crew.
Then he watched Mina get into the assistant's car and head to the set.

After making an appointment to meet again in the evening, Xu Ge drove to Happy Mahua,
at this time,

Including Shen Tong, all the core team members of Happy Twist were present.

"Good morning, Director Xu."

"Hello, Director Xu."

"..."

Amidst the respectful greetings, Xu Ge walked into the conference room first and sat on the main seat in the center. Shen Tong and others followed closely and sat down on both sides of Xu Ge.

"I won't say any more. Since I have purchased Happy Mahua, of course I can't let you continue to act in dramas." Xu Ge took a sip of water, glanced around the crowd, and asked with a smile: "You guys are ready to switch to movies." Are you ready?"

One word stirs up a thousand waves!

Although I had known that Xu Ge would definitely make some moves in acquiring Happy Mahua,

But everyone still didn’t expect that,

It’s only the second day, and it’s time to join the film industry!
"Director Xu, we are always ready." Shen Tong was the first to speak.

After hearing this, Ma Li and others also spoke up and agreed. For a while, the morale of everyone in the office greatly increased and their emotions were high.

Xu Ge smiled and looked at Yan Fei and Peng Damo: "You are the gold medal director and screenwriter of Happy Twist. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

The two looked at each other, with blazing fire in their eyes, and nodded.

Yan Fei immediately said decisively: "Director Xu, Damo and I have actually been determined to enter the film industry for a long time, but we have never had the right opportunity.

We have an immature script here and would like your help to correct it. "

"Oh, let's take a look." Xu Ge looked at Yan Fei expectantly.

Yan Fei took out the script from his bag and handed it to Xu Ge respectfully.

Xu Ge took the script, opened it, and immediately felt happy.

"Charlotte's Troubles"
When the five huge words on the script appeared in front of Xu Ge's eyes,
Xu Ge knew that he was going to make a fortune.

Sure enough, when he opened the script, he found that the content in the script was indeed the famous work "Charlotte" by Marley.

After reading the script carefully, Xu Ge found that many plots were different from what he had in mind.

But the main body is still the same.

They are all about Charlotte traveling back to high school, beating up teachers, dating school belles, copying songs, attending the Spring Festival Gala, and becoming famous in one fell swoop.

But in the final ending, Charlotte was not as miserable as in her previous life, suffering a complete betrayal of family, friendship, and love. Instead, she ran out of talents and was rejected by Qiu Ya. After meeting Dong Mei Dachun again, she returned to reality after a car accident.

After closing the script, Xu Ge turned his attention to Yan Fei and Peng Damo, who was a little nervous: "The script is well written."

Yan and Peng looked happy and were about to talk.

Xu Ge's voice changed: "But it's not perfect yet."

Yan Peng: "..."

"It's very interesting that Charlotte has become a loser and turned into the godfather of music.

But he just returned the message so simply, which was too devoid of anything new. "Xu Ge pointed out the problem.

"Then what do you think should be changed?" Yan Fei asked knowingly.

"But his career collapsed,

Let his mother, women, and brothers all betray him!

Let him live in debauchery, sink to the bottom, and finally die of AIDS! "

Yan Fei's head was shaken and he was greatly inspired: "Wonderful! I always took it for granted before and directly arranged for him to return to modern times. This is so boring!

With this change, it would be natural for him to go back to find Dongmei, and the audience would have a stronger sense of empathy. "

"The most important thing is to give this movie depth and ups and downs," Peng Damo added: "Only by experiencing loss can we understand the beauty of the present.

Charlotte never knew what he wanted. Only in this way could he truly wake up. "

"How is it? Are you confident that you can change the script?" Xu Ge asked again.

"Give us a week, no, three days! Make sure we complete the task!" Yan Fei replied loudly.

"Okay, then I'll leave the script to you."

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Ge added: "Yan Fei and Peng Damo, since you wrote the script, I will leave this movie to you."

Yan and Peng were startled, and when they were about to reply, Xu Ge said directly: "Don't refuse in a hurry, let me ask you, do you have the guts to try it?
If not, forget it, I'll just find the person in charge. "

Yan and Peng were young and vigorous, how could they withstand Xu Ge's provocation?
Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately agreed!
Xu Ge smiled and said: "Okay, then the director, deputy director and screenwriter will be left to you."

After deciding on the person in charge lightly, Xu Ge added: "Who do you think is more suitable for the male and female protagonists?"

Yan and Peng looked at each other, then looked at Shen Pain and Marley. After thinking for a moment, Yan Fei said directly: "'Charlotte' is a comedy movie. Of course, the hero and heroine should be comedians."

After a pause, seeing that Xu Ge had no objection, Yan Fei continued: "Shen Tong and Ma Li are the pillars of Happy Twist. Not only do they have great comedy skills, but they also have a tacit understanding of each other.

Let them play the male and female protagonists, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! "

"Brother Pain, Sister Li," Xu Ge looked at Shen and Ma with a smile: "What do you think?"

"If Director Xu is willing to give us a chance, we will definitely cherish it." Shen Tong replied with high emotional intelligence.

Marley nodded and said, "What Shen Tong said is what I want to say."

"Okay," Xu Ge nodded and said with a smile: "Since Director Yan trusts you so much and you are so confident, then the two of you will be the male and female protagonists of "Charlotte Troubles"."

"Thank you, Director Xu!" Shen Ma said gratefully from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't thank me in a hurry. Let me explain in advance that if the box office fails, you have to treat me to dinner." Xu Ge joked.

"This is nothing!" Ma Li said carelessly: "Don't wait until later, just today, Shen Tong and I will invite Director Xu to drink Laobaigan. We will definitely let you eat and drink well!"

"Haha, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

At noon that day, Shen and Ma acted as hosts and invited Xu Ge and everyone in Happy Twist to have a big meal together.

In the afternoon, Xu Ge transferred an old man from Xu Ge Film and Television to serve as the vice president of Happy Twist.
Take charge of finances and personnel for him.

And he also became the production director of "Charlotte Trouble", responsible for all logistics.

At this point, the crew of "Charlotte Trouble" has been officially formed.
Preparatory work began.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Ge allocated 2 million to Happy Twist and told Yan and Peng to concentrate on making a good movie.

Yan and Peng were just small drama directors before.

Now he has become the chief and deputy director of a film crew with a capital of 2 million yuan.
My gratitude to Xu Ge almost reached the sky.

The two vowed to make "Charlotte Trouble" a success and give Xu Ge a satisfactory answer!

Shen and Ma were equally grateful. Before this, they were just two ordinary drama actors.

He is at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

Today, Yu Yue Long Men has become the leading actor and actress in a movie with an investment of 2 million yuan.
I was so happy that I almost cried.

After finishing "Charlotte Troubles", Xu Ge returned to Jinling. At this time, "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which took nearly two years to produce, was finally broadcast on Huizhou Satellite TV.

.......................................

[Cut off the thread of love and your heart will still be in chaos,

Thousands of threads are still entangled...

Give up the country,
Low eyebrows love beauty...

Good fortune and misfortune take turns,
Is it calamity or fate...

The secrets of heaven are endless,
Mixing sadness and joy...

Crazy men and women of ancient and modern times,
Who can pass the love test? 】

In the villa, sitting on the large sofa, Xu Ge and Ni Ni leaned against each other and quietly enjoyed "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

After a long time, after watching two episodes, Ni Ni repeatedly praised: "This "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is well-made and has excellent service.
The character creation is also quite good, such as the arrogant Concubine Hua and the innocent Zhen Huan, each of them is outstanding.

And the lines are also very ancient and elegant. Not surprisingly, it will definitely be another hit drama.
Director Zheng Xiaolong is worthy of being a great TV drama director. "

"Erni, how high do you think the ratings of this drama can be?" Xu Ge asked with a smile.

"At least four percent!" Ni Ni replied affirmatively.

"So confident?"

"Isn't this because of your investment? Moreover, Sister Sun Li's performance is impeccable, and the other characters are also outstanding. This drama will definitely be a hit."

"Then guess how much money this show can make?" Xu Ge chuckled.

"1 million?" Ni Ni held out a finger.

Xu Ge shook his head.

"1.5 million?" Ni Ni guessed again.

Xu Ge shook his head again.

"It can't be 2 million, right?!" Ni Ni said in shock.

Xu Ge chuckled and said, "Do you know how much the premiere rights were sold for?"

"I know, isn't it reported on TV? 300 million episodes, 76 episodes sold for a total of 2.28 million."

"So do you know how much it costs?"

"It should be 7 million, right?"

"Including publicity, it cost 90 million."

Ni Ni wondered: "If you calculate it this way, it's about 1.3 million. Adding in the later second round of broadcasts and various copyrights, 2 million should be about the same, right?"

"You also forgot about the online broadcast rights," Xu Ge reminded with a smile: "Do you know what price Sohu paid?"

"How many?"

"80 for a single episode, 6080 million in total!"

Ni Ni: "..."

Ni Ni was shocked. It was not that she had never seen money before.

I just didn’t expect that the online broadcast rights of TV series would increase so quickly.

Looking back four years ago, the online broadcast rights for a drama like "Wulin Gaiden" were only 4, with an average of 10 per episode.

Two years ago, the single episode of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" sold 18 yuan.
Last year, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" earned a sky-high price of 30 yuan per episode.
And now, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has once again refreshed its upper limit, reaching the astonishing figure of 80 for a single episode!

This gave Ni Ni the illusion that TV series are more profitable than movies.

"Zhang Chaoyang is anxious," Xu Ge said with a smile: "Youku Tudou has been pressing on him in the past two years, and even the rising star LeTV has come from behind.

If Sohu doesn't come up with a big motive, I'm afraid the video website will no longer have a place for him. "

Where there is competition, there is madness.

In a previous life, just this year, Sohu spent 3 million to acquire the online broadcast rights of "My Fair Princess".

A real copyright war started!

With this, the online broadcast rights have skyrocketed and finally reached the sky!
Although "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was released a year earlier than its predecessor, there is no problem with its quality at all.

In addition, under Xu Ge's promotion, the online broadcast rights had been piled up in advance, so it was sold for a sky-high price of 80.

"If you put it this way, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will earn at least 2.5 million yuan after this wave. It is really profitable!" Ni Ni sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"More than that," Xu Ge laughed again: "You are just talking about ordinary TV series. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has excellent long-tail effects and is not included in this category.

Not surprisingly, every year since then, its income can be more than 10 million, so this time he can earn at least 300 million. "

"Oh my God!" Ni Ni covered her mouth in surprise and sighed: "Our "A Quiet Place" has just exceeded 25 billion at the box office, and it can barely earn 6 million. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can actually reach three Yi, this is too scary!”

After following Xu Ge for a long time, Ni Ni was also led astray.

Words like ye, reluctant, and cai are often used.
If people outside hear this,
I definitely think she is pretending.

"It is still difficult for TV series to make money. Not every TV series is "The Legend of Zhen Huan."

If Xu Ge hadn't been a reborn person, how could he have made a TV series so popular?
Even investments are always on target.

"Now "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is really making a lot of money, and Sister Sun Li is also going to be a big hit. Maybe this TV series can win the annual crown this year." Ni Ni said with a smile.

"It will definitely not win the annual crown," Xu Ge said with a confident smile: "The annual crown belongs to "Star You"."

"Are you so confident?"

"Of course, "Wei Wei" reached the top in 09, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" reached the top in 10, and "Xing You" will definitely reach the top this year!"

"If we win three consecutive championships in the TV drama field, plus your movies, Xu Ge Film and Television will definitely be successful in listing next year! surpassing Huayi in one fell swoop!" Ni Ni said with a smile.

"That's for sure." Xu Ge smiled.

"Monster Hunt" won the box office championship of domestic movies in 09,
More than 8 days after the release of "A Quiet Place", the domestic box office has now exceeded 9 million, and is making difficult strides towards million. Although there is no hope of exceeding billion,
But it also won the domestic film box office championship for 10 years,
This year’s Xu Ge Film and Television,
Except for "Gunjun",
"The Gift of Room 7", "囧", and the newly launched "Charlotte", these three movies all have the ability to compete for the championship.

Coupled with the new movie that is about to pop up in his mind,

The box office champion for 11 years will definitely not escape his grasp.

If both TV series and movies win three consecutive championships,

When Xu Ge Film and Television went public, the tenfold increase in valuation was considered small.

A sudden increase of 20 times is very likely to happen!
In addition to these, Xu Ge’s Animation of Knuckles and the animated short film "Bear Bears" will soon meet the audience. If everything goes well, a big movie will also be put on the process.

By then, one "Bear Bear" movie a year can also contribute a lot to the box office.

"Xu Ge, can the global box office of "A Quiet Place" exceed 30 billion?" Ni Ni asked curiously.

"It depends on God's will," Xu Ge shook his head and said: "The domestic box office is at most 900 million, and the ugly country is 1 billion. The box office in other countries is starting to not do well. It is most likely around 27.8 billion."

"It's a pity. If you can break 30 billion, you will definitely shock Hollywood."

"Don't worry, wait for my next movie," Xu Ge hugged Ni Ni and kissed her gently: "I will shock the world!"
