The king of all people

Chapter 420 The Weird Hou Xiang
For a successful movie, the shooting process is only a small part of it. To make the movie successful after its release, it takes energy, money and hard work at the same cost.

In particular, Li Xian wants to use "Death is Coming" to break into the attention of the international film industry and really make his name famous. Until the day when the movie is actually put on the big screen in theaters, he can't fully understand it. stop.

After completing the filming of the scene, Li Xian sorted out all the work content in the past few months on the second day, and handed over the video, video and other materials to the special effects department of the dynamic era, which is dedicated to the research and development of special effects technology. What level of film will "Death is Coming" be, and their subsequent post-production work is a very important factor.

As for Li Xian himself, his job during this period is to worry about film distribution, publicity, and theater cooperation within the company.According to Li Xian's estimate, including all the activities after the film's release, he expects to draw 1500 million from the company to spend on these aspects.

In fact, this number is not too exaggerated, but because Li Xian, Zhou Xun, Leslie Cheung and other first-line actors whose appeal is equivalent to gold-lettered signs, the film itself does not need to invest too much in publicity. The budget of "The Girl We Chased Together" should be almost enough.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Li Xian is thinking of saving what he can, and is so petty that he doesn't want to spend money on publicity for the movie he has worked so hard to make.

The bulk of his publicity and release this time is locked in the international market. After all, "Death is Coming" itself is a film that tends to be science fiction and supernatural in all aspects and is suitable for international styles. Li Xian also has considerable ambitions. , looking forward to going out with this film, hoping to make my name famous.

However, there is still some time before the release of the film, and Li Xian has not yet figured out the budget for the overseas announcement. He explained the situation of later Chinese films abroad from the "Astrology" system, and estimated a budget of 5000 million. cost figures.

In addition, Li Xian intends to try his best to let other foreign markets be released at the same time as domestic ones, the shorter the interval, the better. In this way, the money that needs to be invested will inevitably increase. In general, including the previous film salary, pre-marketing, The total investment of "Reaper is Coming" is estimated to be no less than 1 million RMB.

This number, in today's economic market, in the Chinese film market that has not yet developed, is simply a frightening astronomical figure.

However, there is no doubt that "Death is Coming" will basically not become a work that will make Li Xian and his rice noodle entertainment lose money.The box office of "Reaper is Coming" in the previous life is not low, but this time he has starred, directed and worked part-time. Li Xian has enough confidence to make "Reaper is coming" achieve a good commercial result.

You must know that tens of millions of publicity expenses are invested in the market, even if it is an ugly movie, it will be forced to recover part of the funds for the film producer...

The news of "Death is Coming" has not yet leaked out, but the circle of Chinese entertainment circles is not too big. Many people in the industry have a lot of eyeliners, and people with better information have already known about it.

In particular, it is a distribution company that has made an idea some years ago.No matter from what point of view, "Death is Coming" is a film that is enough for them to win over.Various companies have held internal meetings to discuss this difficult matter...

On this day, Li Xian was alone in the office looking at the cooperation agreement piled up on the desk.

Because there are too many companies seeking to distribute "Death is Coming", and Li Xian also has to prepare the plan for "Run, Brother", his eyes are constantly sore and painful all afternoon.Li Xian took a sip of the big tonic pigeon soup that Fan Bingqiang brought over at noon, shook his head, and prepared to shake off his fatigue and continue working.

squeak...

There were some sudden sounds, and the door that was originally concealed was pushed open.A flash of displeasure flashed across Li Xian's face. He doesn't like to be interrupted while working. At this time, someone broke in without even knocking on the door. He completely ignored the company's rules. those rules and regulations.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared in front of Li Xian.Neat shoulder-length black hair, a fluorescent green OS outfit with smart facial features, the person who came was Hou Xiang, who had been with Li Xian's good brother for more than half a year.

"It's you, sit down. What's the matter?" Seeing the appearance of this person, Li Xian was not too surprised. Apart from being Xiao Ruichao's girlfriend, Hou Xiang is also one of the managers of Mixian Entertainment Company.

Although Li Xian has always disliked this weird girl, since his brother has a deep affection for her, Li Xian will naturally not show his face to her.When encountering such a thing as breaking into his office without permission, he didn't intend to investigate further.

Hou Xiang's expression couldn't tell her thoughts, she smiled faintly at Li Xian, and then said: "President Li, it's so late, why don't you go home from get off work and rest?"

After finishing speaking, Hou Xiang deliberately opened his sleeve and pointed to the watch on his arm, signaling Li Xian to pay attention to the time.

"Oh, don't worry, I still have some things to deal with. I'll go home later. It's getting late, so go back and rest early." Li Xian's tone was also very light, although Hou Xiang hadn't committed any serious crimes. , but Li Xian, like Fan Bingbing, doesn't like this girl from the bottom of his heart for no reason.

I always feel that she seems to be full of secrets, and this secret happens to be related to the company.

"That's it..." Hou Xiang didn't seem to notice Li Xian's expression, but went directly to make a cup of tea and handed it to Li Xian to replace the loving pigeon soup that Fan Bingbing had prepared for him. "I heard from Rui Chao that Mr. Zhang Yimou visited you on the set a while ago and gave you a secret envelope, right?"

In an instant, the air froze.

Li Xian looked at Hou Xiang suspiciously for a while, he didn't understand what the other party meant by asking this question.Zhang Yimou did come to visit him in the film crew, and he did give him a sealed letter before leaving, which he has not opened until now.Knowing that the previous incident was not a big deal, but Hou Xiang actually mentioned that letter...

Li Xian is very clear that he has not mentioned this matter to anyone except for a few trusted friends.Li Xian is not stupid, he already roughly guessed what Zhang Yimou meant when he came to the film crew that day, and the envelope was probably filled with some drama related things.It is not appropriate to spread anything before it has been confirmed, so Li Xian also made up his mind not to mention it to too many people for the time being.

Originally, "Death is Coming" was officially finished, and he planned to read the contents of the letter in these two days.Never expected that Hou Xianghui would know about this matter before that...
