Island Tycoon

Chapter 380 A Calm New Year’s Eve
Ye Jingcheng accidentally saw two beauties at the airport, Lin Qingxia and Lu Xiuling who had just arrived on Hong Kong Island.However, he did not choose to drive to follow. First of all, he is not an idiot, and he has no such interest in following.

Besides, he didn't have the time to do it now, he spent most of the day with Pan Yingzi from night to morning, plus he hadn't returned to the company for several days, there must have been dozens of documents that needed his signature piled up in the office.

Besides, Lin Qingxia and the others also had their own private space, no matter whether they came to see him or not, those who should meet would naturally meet, there was no need for him to be in a hurry, maybe after they settled down, they would come to him on their own initiative?
So after Ye Jingcheng left the airport, he went straight back to the exclusive office of Qingdeng Entertainment.

Just as he sat down, Zhu Baoyi took advantage of the fact that he had no work to sneak in and flirtatiously said, "Brother Cheng, what do you need most right now? Coffee? Tea? Or me?"

"I choose coffee." Ye Jingcheng smiled heartlessly.He didn't sleep much last night, and he really needed a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you." Seeing Ye Jingcheng's displeasure, Zhu Baoyi stomped his feet angrily.But he said he didn't care, and in the end obediently served a cup of coffee, and stood aside to help Ye Jingcheng sort out the documents.

Ye Jingcheng was not at the company these days, and there were ten or twenty documents waiting for his autograph.One of them was the operation status of the theater chain in recent days. Ye Jingcheng was quite concerned about this document, so he picked it up and looked at the data carefully.

Today, the Lunar New Year has just passed, and it is the best New Year's time of the year.Movies released in this schedule have at least a [-]% increase in box office performance.

It's a pity that this year's New Year's file, several major companies did not have any elaborate productions.In other words, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Qingdeng, the three major companies, were tossing about "big production" some time ago, which led to the lack of acceptance of this New Year's file.

From Qingdeng, nearly 300 million yuan was spent on the production of the local film "The True Colors of Heroes", to Hollywood productions with a budget of over [-] million US dollars, namely Golden Harvest's "Killer's Trenches" and Shaw Brothers' "Blade Runner".

Regardless of the 300 million production fee of "The True Colors of Heroes", it seems that it is only a fraction of the latter two films.But compared to the average local film, the average production cost of the latter is about 30 to 60 yuan, even for the upper-middle level, it is only 300 to [-] yuan, and [-] million yuan has already raised the level several times.

And the most important point is that Ye Jingcheng's investment has received crazy returns. More than 300 million yuan seems to be a lot, but compared to the income of more than ten times, who would care about the cost?
What's more, 3000 million is only the income of one place on Hong Kong Island. It is estimated that those filmmakers would like to have such a big production in their hands.Not to mention the box office of 3000 million, seven or eight million is enough for them to earn.

The reason why Qingdeng Entertainment didn't invest in new movies was because Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to write scripts some time ago, and the screenwriters in the company's creative department didn't have good enough scripts.

It's not that they didn't meet up, on the contrary, there were still five or six scripts sent to Ye Jingcheng, but unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng raised his hands and sent them back.

Several screenwriters including Huang Bingyao, Li Lichi, Gao Zhisen, etc., or they are not experienced enough, and their expression and logic are immature.Or it is that the thinking is still stuck in the past few years, and the important factors of commercial films cannot be grasped at all.

For example, the scripts of "Soldiers and Thieves", "The Prodigal Boy" and "Mouse Street" were sent up. Ye Jingcheng also had impressions of them. 200 million.

Green Lantern Entertainment's starting point is very high, which is not comparable to other film companies. This is also Ye Jingcheng's unique advantage.The box office of the company's first production after the establishment of the theater chain - "Looking for a Husband and Jackie Chan" exceeded 300 million.

Afterwards, "Why Me", "Seven Days of Love", "Autumn Fairy Tales", "Happy Ghost" and "The True Colors of Heroes", the box office created by each film has reached a new high.From 1000 million, to 500 million, to 2000 million...

Although the box office of "Why Me" did not exceed 1000 million, it has social significance and won the support of every worker who silently contributes to the society, thus bringing more important reputation to the company.

So how could it be possible to go back and shoot some rough works after stepping into the high-end Qingdeng entertainment.The minimum requirement for a movie, even if the box office is less than 800 million, at least [-] million, right?
Secondly, although Qingdeng Entertainment does not have its own production, the box office performance of the films released during the New Year period is no less than that of the company's own productions, because this film released is the most admired "Empire" in the "Star Wars" series. Counterattack".

And Ye Jingcheng's decision has a deeper meaning, which is to make the outside world feel that he is provoking Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

Because these two Hollywood productions worth tens of millions of dollars, the momentum of the publicity before the release can be said to be overwhelming, but after the release, it continued until the end of the painting. The vulgar description is a person who wants to shit, squatting in the toilet for a long time, who knows In the end, only one fart popped out.

"Killer's Trench" has a box office of 300 million, and "Blade Runner" has a box office of less than 300 million.The value of these two big productions is higher than that of local movies, and even the upper-middle-level movies have higher box office than them.Not to mention that they have a Hollywood name and end up being a joke instead.

And "Star Wars 5" released by Qingdeng Entertainment is just a proxy distribution.Now it has only been released for a week, and the box office has reached 720 million. With the blessing of the New Year's file, it will be at least 300 to [-] million when it is released.

Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Chu Ren made another film, and the movie turned out to be a joke on Hong Kong Island.But Ye Jingcheng was neither a source nor a person.But putting this movie on the screen of his own theater will bring him at least several million profits.

For Ye Jingcheng, the more or less of a few million is second, and the most important thing is to slap Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers hard. In fact, this approach has also made the two companies behave a lot.

There is no way, they have already lost in a mess in the first two rounds, and Qingdeng Entertainment has taken advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold. If they continue to fight like this, they will be the ones who will cause the biggest losses.

Sometimes Shao Yifu and Wrinkle felt that it was impossible for them to refuse to accept their old age, but they didn't understand why Ye Jingcheng came up with so many wonderful ideas.From the bloody horror films at the beginning, to the new martial arts films in the middle, and now to the gunfight films with violent aesthetics.

So they also gave up the decision to continue to suppress Ye Jingcheng, or even if they continued to suppress, it would not be effective, and they might be backed by the opponent.It's better to stabilize one's own position first, stop thinking about launching any blockbuster, but follow the original production plan, step by step.
