Chapter 336 Box Office on the First Day (3/3)
Monday, December 25.±
In the conference room of DreamWorks, several managers and managers of DreamWorks were waiting anxiously.
"Ahem... can you stop smoking? There are still several ladies?" Jiang Shuying glanced at Wang Meng, who was leading the smoking.
At this time, only Jiang Shuying dares to say this.
"Yes, just, don't smoke anymore. What are the benefits of smoking?" Zhou Hui also muttered.
"Well, don't smoke anymore, don't smoke anymore." Wang Meng pinched off the cigarette in his hand.
The big smoke bong Wang Peng Liu Zhiyuan Ning Hao Zhao Jisen and others also hurriedly pinched the cigarette.
"Have Lao Zhang finished counting yet? Why is it so slow?" After Wang Peng pinched the cigarette, he didn't know what he was doing for a while. He complained about Zhang Lantian.
At this moment, Zhang Lantian is counting the first day of box office for one phone call?
"Yesterday was Sunday. Director Wang's fame and the sensation and quality of the film, I think the box office must be indispensable. Lao Wang, don't worry!" Fu Qiang said to Wang Peng.
"Well, it's enough to meet expectations for more than 5 million. Of course, this is the least estimate. 8 million is our goal. If it's more, it's amazing." Liu Kaisi said.
"Anyway, making money is certain, there is no doubt about this. The key is how much you earn, and you have to compare it with the other three movies. This is the key point." Zhao Jisen said.
"Making money is certain, it depends on how much we make. We have many plans next year and are still counting on the box office of this movie? If there is less, it will be troublesome." Wang Meng said.
"Click!" The door opened.
Zhang Lantian came in.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him, but Zhang Lantian's face was full of excitement. Wang Meng knew this.
"How much is Lao Zhang?"
"Tell me, Lao Zhang?"
"It's over 5 million, right?"
"What 5 million, I think it's at least 8 million."
When I saw everyone leaving and asked myself anxiously, Zhang Lantian was happy. Not only was he happy when he saw such a scene, but... the report in his hand was so damn bad. If I hadn't calculated it five times, I wouldn't believe it.
"Tell everyone good news..." Zhang Lantian said seriously.
"Ahem... Director Wang's "You, the Deskmate" has come out on the first day. After my detailed verification of five times, I guarantee that there are no errors. Our first day box office..."
“10.42 million!”
"Haha, 10.42 million, Director Wang, we are rich, 10.42 million." Zhang Lantian was about to dance.
"Are you serious?" Wang Meng was surprised. He thought that the box office would be a lot, but he really didn't expect so much.
It seems that movies that create a genre are strong, and this is not following the trend.
"To Youth" and "Those Years" have not appeared yet. My own "Your Deskmate" has been adapted and the first one, it is rare to have such a box office now!
"Old Zhang, you're serious." Zhao Jisen.
"Where do I come to see?" Wang Peng went forward and snatched the box office report in Zhang Lantian's hand.
"One, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, ten thousand...10.42 million...really!" Wang Peng pointed to the numbers and carefully checked them, and was stunned when he checked 10.42 million.
Everyone could still bear it and passed the report to check it carefully. When the number checked was indeed 1042, the excitement in their hearts could not be suppressed.
"What do I say, I'll just say it? Director Wang is a miracle. Look, looking at the box office, the first day of the box office exceeded 10 million, we set a record, haha..."
"I originally expected the total box office to reach more than 60 million, and 80 million was the goal. Now... it seems that we may be able to think a little more."
"On the first day, it was 10.42 million, and our total investment and publicity were only 13.5 million. It seems that it is perfect to recover the cost in a week."
"Yes, this box office is simply amazing."
"Ha ha……"
At this moment, several managers and managers of DreamWorks were all happy. Only money-making companies can develop better.
Originally, after Wang Meng returned from Venice, the net assets were nearly 100 million yuan. The filming of "You, the Deskmate" cost nearly 14 million yuan, and there were more than 15 million yuan. People don't know where to go. It seems that Wang Meng is useful.
With the acquisition of Tudou, the copyrights of several newspapers and media and many novels, it is expected that it will cost nearly 20 million. In this way, 50 million will be gone.
There are still many plans next year. Not to mention that Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" invests a lot, but just saying that Ning Hao's project is expected to be 10 million, Wang Peng's project is expected to be 4 million, and Liu Zhiyuan's project is expected to be at least 2 million.
This is another nearly 20 million, and Wang Mengxiang only has 30 million left in filming "Painted Skin".
Not to mention this, Wang Meng also has the ambition to acquire Marvel, the ambition to make animated movies, the purpose of collaborating with Tsui Hark, and the matter of the "Xu Xiake" series of movies that Chen Kexin is interested in.
How can I do without money?
So those who knew DreamWorks plans next year all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the first box office of 10.42 million yuan.
Not to mention... the funds have been alleviated, and even if they have a showdown with the other three films, they will have a good ranking!
This is a double gain, how can you be unhappy?!
"Okay, okay. Unexpectedly, it's reasonable. This box office deserves our attentiveness. Moreover... our plot is flawless, the production is intent, and all the prop layout and background have also been supported by several professors from Fudan University. We are not afraid of movie fans finding faults. Therefore, quality is the most reliable way to win. As expected, reputation will spread in the next few days. You don't need to worry about the box office, it depends on which step we can reach." Wang Meng concluded.
"Well, now I think Director Wang did it right before. If you don't do it, do it well. We are not afraid of finding faults, nor do we have to worry about making mistakes. It feels great to make money with peace of mind." Zhao Jisen said.
"This is what I want to say. We will still do this in the future. If you want to do it, do it well." Wang Meng said.
"Don't worry about the box office, but the promotion still needs to keep up. The next month is still very nervous. But I won't participate, just get the actors to promote it." Wang Meng said.
Everyone knew that the boss had started to assign tasks again, so they all did it seriously and started recording.
"We can close the Internet when acquiring video websites. We have time now, and they have been cold for a long time. In addition... in a few days, we called Chen Chufei to report whether he had any goals. We also need to follow up on the acquisition of several magazines and newspapers... The movie is released, and Tsui Hark should come to me. Regarding the "Die Renjie" series, it is still far from the way, but this aspect must be paid attention to... Manager Zhang, you will release a message in two days, saying that our Dream Factory will indicate many screenwriters, especially screenwriters with magical mythical specialties. This is a major thing to do."
"Okay Director Wang." Zhang Lantian quickly recorded it.
"Manager Zhao, you have to integrate all the company's ongoing projects and funds recently, so that Director Zhou of Finance can cooperate with you."
After hearing this, Zhao Jisen and Zhou Hui also quickly expressed their understanding.
"Director Ning, Brother Wang, Brother Liu, you three can make plans for the project of next year's film and television works. Go to my place in two days, let's study the script, I've done it, and you can also correct it. Although it's not certain that it's time to start filming, there's nothing wrong with being prepared. Please pay attention to this aspect."
Ning Hao, Wang Peng, and Liu Zhiyuan were a little excited. It was finally their turn. The plan seemed to be about to begin.
[“Manager Wu, please be careful in the artists and arrange them to act in film and television dramas and self-training in a purposeful manner.
And... Have you contacted the business card I gave you the day before yesterday? That Liu Shishi is a good seedling, try to sign it up. We have a lot of film and television plans next year, and we need our own artists to participate. Let me tell you to be prepared. Of course, the leading actors in the big production have nothing to do with them. I hope they have no emotions and ask everyone to take it slowly and start with supporting roles."]
"Okay boss, I will pay attention." Wu Juan said in the Artist Department. He also said: "I haven't contacted Liu Shishi yet, I'll contact you later."
"Yes." Wang Meng nodded.
"Director Liu, producer Fu, see if you can find a few experienced deputy directors and photographers. Next year, Brother Liu and Brother Peng will have their jobs. I need these talents here, and they also need them. You can take advantage of talent recruitment and reserves in this area." Wang Meng said to Liu Kai and Fu Qiang again.
After hearing this, the two nodded and understood.
"Shu Ying, I have a copy of the film and television personnel who have experience in costume drama sets and Taoism. If you take the time to contact me, I will invite them to come to DreamWorks for a discussion."
Wang Meng also made arrangements for Jiang Shuying.
And it's a job for contacting people. Jiang Shuying's contact is no different from Wang Meng's contact. Now no one knows their relationship.
"Well, I understand." Jiang Shuying was very happy that she also had a job.
"Okay, all of these things are here. Everyone should prepare for it. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Try to complete it as early as possible to have a relaxing New Year." Wang Meng said to everyone, thinking about whether there were any missed things.
After thinking about it, there seemed to be something else, and said to Zhang Lantian: "Manager Zhang, you will announce our first-day box office to our official website, and my name is Zhenzhen, and I will also announce it to my blog, personal website and post bar. Let me say more words to thank the fans."
"Okay, Director Wang, I'll announce it now." Zhang Lantian said, and asked again: "After Director Wang is announced, there will be a reporter's visit. Do you think?"
"Just just treat this. What I need to do recently is very good. I have to consider the scripts of Brother Liu, Brother Ning, Brother Wang and others. If Tsui Hark comes, I also have to consider the scripts of "Die Renjie". I won't talk about the scripts and preparations of my next work "Painted Skin". I don't have time, so you can do it."
Wang Meng replied, although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I am still busy, too busy.
"It's OK, let's go. Manager Wu will inform the actors of "You, Deskmate" and report the good news to everyone, saying that when you have time to hold a celebration banquet, they will be told to be there."
"I know Director Wang." Wu Juan said.
After explaining some arrangements, Wang Meng has been much more relaxed. It is not easy to manage a company. It is because everyone has shared a lot of work for him, otherwise he will be busier.
Only Jiang Shuying and Wang Meng were left in the office.
"Go to my house tonight. My mother misses you and said you won't go there for a long time." Wang Meng said.
"I know, my aunt called me and asked, it's because you're too much about your business and the company. But when "You, the Deskmate" is released, I'm not that busy. I'll go to find my aunt if I have time." Jiang Shuying said.
"Well, that's fine."
Chapter completed!
