Chapter 102 Faucet (2/3)
You, Chen Mengxi, can rely on the new director to conquer the world, and so can I, Wang Changtian,!
After Light went public, when funds were available, how could it be taken?
Continue to work with some veteran Hong Kong directors?
After the incident of "Martial Arts" crew cheating investors was broken, the reputation of Hong Kong directors became a bit terrible...
——The investors of "Martial Arts" are Star Media and Yunnan Films...
These two families are not laymen.
He is a well-known player in the industry.
This can be a pitfall!
Therefore, many Hong Kong film production teams with high quotations will not be considered.
Lao Wang studied it and found that in fact, whether it is working with a well-known director or a new director, there are risks. However, when working with a new director, the investment amount is usually not very large, so the risk is relatively reduced.
Moreover, some new directors themselves have a deep understanding of the film.
Finally, if the new director himself has some reputation in the film industry, he will get twice the result with half the effort!
After chatting with a few novice directors, he found that many new directors are very innovative, more down-to-earth, and at the same time they are more serious in their creation, which really treats movies as life.
Then what?
His attention was also focused on youth films...
Especially after the success of "To Youth", he found that the more pretentious things the more popular they were, the more popular they were. He made a quick decision and bought several Rao Xueman's works, "Left Ear" and "Hourglass", and then searched for the actors. The first person he thought of was Liu Yifei!
...
"Left Ear"...
Chen Mengxi instantly remembered Chen Duling with a face paralysis: in order to save people, the male protagonist jumped into the lake, and Chen Duling shouted "Zhang Yang" and "Come up Zhang Yang" on the shore without any pain, with a plain tone as if saying good morning...
And the saying ‘I smoke and drink and tattoo, but I know I am a good girl’.
Rao Xueman is so awesome. In one sentence, it explains what it means to "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart"...
Before Chen Mengxi could say anything, Liu Yifei continued, "But I refuse!"
"Why?"
“…I don’t like “Left Ear”, I feel too mentally retarded!”
"right!"
Chen Mengxi nodded desperately, and she was indeed mentally retarded!
The young lady put her head on his thigh and looked up at him: "Then do you think "Left Ear" can be a big hit?"
Chen Mengxi was surprised: "Why did you ask this?"
"Xiaomi told me that she didn't like "Tiny Times", but she thought that the box office of that show would be higher, so she invested a little money..."
"Yes, "Tiny Times" will definitely make money, "Left Ear"...is similar. If nothing unexpected happens, the probability of making money is very high!"
The more pretentious the work you think is, the more money you can make.
"Tiny Times", "To Youth", "Soon of the Year", "We Later", "Ex-Story 3" and "Sader Than Sadness"…
Especially in "Bi Sadness", that thing is more than just pretentious, it is so pretentious that it makes people want to vomit...
What about the box office results of these films?
"Sader Than Sadness" set a new record in Taiwan's box office, and Hong Kong sold HK$18 million and the mainland box office was 956 million...
The young lady nodded: "Then I will reply to Lao Wang and said that I am also very interested, and I will do this project together?"
"...He wouldn't agree to you when you reply like this," Chen Mengxi paused, and added: "Even if he agrees, he won't give you too much investment..."
"How do I reply?"
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Lao Song!"
Old Song?
Liu Yifei was still thinking. Chen Mengxi had already called Song Hang. The two chatted for a few minutes and hung up. He smiled awkwardly and said, "This project is exclusively dominated by Light..."
"so what?"
"...You can find Guo Fan, Sun Lun or Yang Qing to be the producer together and invest about 20%..."
Liu Yifei rolled his eyes: "I understand."
...
Chen Mengxi originally wanted to let her join forces with other producers to force Lao Wang to be...
Lao Wang has bought out the copyright.
Very decisive person!
When the light can rise, luck accounts for a part of it, and it does have strength.
He sighed at Lao Wang that the outside world has become numb to the box office performance of "To Youth"...
140 million in the first weekend?
A novice director again?
Madan, didn’t it mean that investing in movies is like gambling?
Why did Tang Ren win ten bets and ten?
It would be nice if they were half-time?
Why can he do anything?
The most depressing thing is Bona - "Epilogue of the Storm 2" is released on August 17, which happens to be the Chinese Valentine's Day...
Thinking of "The Smurfs", "Harry Potter 7" has ended.
Yes, their momentum is indeed much weaker, but "To Youth" has begun!
And as expected, on August 17, it set a record for the highest single-day box office of "To Youth": 51 million!
It directly squeezed the debut of "Epitaph 2" into a corner.
Yu Fatty was so upset that even on August 18, "Eavesdropping Storm 2" won 14 million in a single day and "To Youth" dropped to 28 million in a single day, but it failed to make him feel better...
——Because it was released at the same time as "To Youth", the box office of "Epilogue 2" will be squeezed out at least half!
"Big Man", "Shaw Beach" and "To Youth" three movies, action, thriller, youth, and three types. Tang Ren Film and Television is already the best in the industry in terms of its market value or actual status!
As of September, the box office in the mainland has been 12 billion, of which Hollywood and imported batches account for 5.8 billion, and films released in the mainland account for 6.2 billion. Tang Ren's share of the mainland accounted for about 4 billion!
If you include participating in investment and production, it will definitely exceed 4 billion!
One is the only one!
It would be fine if the film market is so rampant. After the broadcast of "The Voice of China", it immediately became a phenomenal variety show!
...
Three thresholds for phenomenal variety shows:
1. Cost: at least 3 million yuan per episode;
2. Ratings: The national network ratings exceed 2%;
3. Market: The comprehensive value created is more than 100 million yuan.
"The Voice of China" not only meets the needs of the best, but also amplifies the effect: the innovative talent show model suddenly attracted people's attention, attracted national topics, and pushed Zhejiang Satellite TV into the ranks of first-tier satellite TV!
The finals created a new benchmark with a national rating of 6.109%. After the program was broadcast, it was praised by the General Administration, saying that the "Voice of China" program "has shocked and moved the audience by demonstrating the extraordinary singing skills of ordinary people and their unremitting pursuit of musical dreams."
The first battle of Mengxi Interactive Entertainment directly created a phenomenal variety show!
Not only that, the trailer for "Casual Inn" was released, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Jiang Xin, Liu Tao and even Chen Hao...
Cost announcement: The cost per quarter exceeds 200 million!
Grass...a plant.
How do you make money?
The cost of the first season of "The Voice" was 120 million yuan, Zhejiang Satellite TV's package price was 100 million yuan, Youku, iQiyi, Sohu, and Tencent jointly purchased it, with a price of 40 million yuan...
There are also advertisements, student concert divisions, music ringtone divisions, etc.
"Casual Inn" is scheduled to be released on Oriental TV. The latter is rich and is directly packaged for 280 million yuan - no advertising share...
Chapter completed!
