At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 469
"Republic of China" was released on the 12th, and the early attendance rate was full. It began to decline from the 22nd, and by the 25th, many theaters had greatly reduced the number of films scheduled.

Relying on the daily odds and ends, I have to survive until the 30th. When I go offline, I estimate that the box office will be in the early 5000 million, and it should not reach 5100 million...

At this time, the specific accounts are almost calculated.

The cost is 1200 million, and the publicity investment is 1400 million...

In terms of income, TV copyright, audio-visual copyright, 400 million, box office share 1800 million, overseas income, close to 360 million US dollars, that is 3000 million, [-]% will be distributed to Golden Harvest - overseas copyright and distribution are basically handled by Golden Harvest...

Plus, there's ad revenue and a little bit of online rights...

Anyway, adding it all together, the net profit after deducting costs is 2900 million, the movie channel gets [-]%, the company gets [-]%, and Chen Hao gets [-]%...

"Investing in movies is really a huge profit!"

"... Making money is only a minority, and losing money is the norm. Not to mention anything else, the box office of your performance of "Please, Praise Me" did not reach 50...Just release it directly and release the disc!"

Chen Hao shook his head: "That's a literary film."

Shen Xudong chuckled: "The one shortlisted is the best feature film..."

"...I can't tell you...the meal is here, you go to the bedroom first."

The waiter pushed the dining car into the door, three dishes, one soup, one bowl of rice...

After he left, Shen Xudong came out of the bedroom...

All his favorite food, braised beef in brown sauce, spicy shrimp, ground three delicacies, pickled cabbage tofu fish soup...

Chen Hao put the rice in front of him: "You can eat the rice..."

"You don't eat?"

"I dare not eat...the director told me to keep in good shape."

Shen Xudong picked up the rice unceremoniously——Chen Hao didn't have a melon-seeded face, he had a small round face, which was especially obvious once he gained weight, so he usually didn't eat rice at night...

The two chatted while eating.

"I see that they are all reporting on the Han-Bai dispute, and you also joined in... What happened?"

"...It's just a group of qualified cultural critics pretending to be coercive, but the pretense is not very good, which makes people uncomfortable, and then Han Han replied, 'The literary world is a fart, don't pretend to be coercive'..."

Shen Xudong made a general introduction to science, then shook his head: "For a person like Bai Ye, you talk about professionalism with him, he talks about morality with you, and you talk about morality with him, but he says he doesn't want to talk about it... he doesn't want to talk about it, and he goes about making it public in various ways. Show up, do a bunch of interviews..."

"Why is he being interviewed?"

"He thought Han Han didn't have the right to speak in the media!"

Chen Hao nodded, and then asked in doubt: "Then why did you join in?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Some media asked me, so I just said a few words casually. No matter how I say it, I am also a book writer, and I can be regarded as a literati!"

Chen Hao nodded, thought of something, and smiled: "Yes, you are still a genius!"

"...What? You're in a good mood after sleeping with the wit?"

"They say that since ancient times, a talented man has had a hard time with a beautiful woman. Can you pass my test?"

"... "

……

On the night of the 30th, in the lobby of a hotel in Beijing.

"boom!"

"Whoa!"

Gao Fenfen, Shen Xudong, and You Dazhi each took a hammer and chiselled randomly, and the big ice cube with the word "5000 million" became smashed in an instant.

Immediately, the three of them poured wine, and dozens of people below also held wine glasses in their hands, and raised them forward in unison.

Celebrate!
"Extraordinary Detective of the Republic of China" has been screened, and the box office score of 5075 million exceeded everyone's expectations. Of course, it is worth celebrating.

Originally, the director of the movie channel should also be on stage for the ice smashing session, but he doesn't want to, so forget it...

You Dazhi picked up the microphone and wanted to say a few words: "Thank you for the company's trust in me. In fact, I didn't make a name for myself in Hong Kong. Last year, Xudong found me and said, 'Come to the mainland, I will take you to make a movie!' ...and then I came here...I am so grateful to Xudong and Fenfen..."

a little excited...

It's understandable, after all, becoming famous at a young age, but getting lonely halfway through...

Back then, he, To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui were called the "Du Weiyou" Iron Triangle.

You Dazhi contributed three of the best film noirs as a director: "Two Can Only Live One", "Dark Flower" and "Suddenly"...

But in the end, he left Yinhe Image, the reason is very simple: Yinhe highlighted To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui, and the others must be ignored!
After leaving Yinhe, he worked for a TV station, made some TV series, and then received an invitation from Tianmei Media to shoot a movie in the mainland, and became famous in one fell swoop!
It is really successful. So far, except for the box office of Zhou Xingchi and Jackie Chan's movies in the mainland, everyone's movies...

No, last year there was an "Initial D"...

But that's all three!
In other words, as long as there are no major problems in his next movie, he will be able to become a famous director just around the corner.

The next one is still "Republic of China"...

Tianmei Company directly signed contracts with him for five films...

"There's no need to talk about the polite words, eat and drink whatever you want, and everyone has a red envelope!"

Gao Fenfen took the microphone and announced boldly.

"yeah!"

"President Gao is the best!"

Everyone loves to listen to dry goods, and they immediately cheered.

This celebration banquet was purely internal, the media was not invited, and it was not of a promotional nature—it was released immediately, what kind of promotion?

The participants are basically the staff and actors of "Republic of China"...

The red envelope reward should also be rewarded. Although it is only a few thousand yuan, it is still a good fortune!
No outsiders were invited, everyone was relaxed, you respected me, I respected him, the atmosphere was harmonious, Gao Fenfen found Shen Xudong who was chatting with Huang Bo: ""Carol" has been shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, are you going?"

"I'm definitely going..."

Shen Xudong nodded and asked, "Why? You want to go too?"

"...how can I leave..."

"I'm going this time, and I'll bring "Republic of China" to sell the copyright..."

"Will foreigners be interested?"

Shen Xudong hesitated: "It's hard to say... I guess the probability is not high, let Jiahe try it..."

In this trip to Cannes, apart from "Carol", the most important thing is to sell films. Golden Harvest is going to bring four films including "The Tailor", "Taken", "Manslaughter" and "New World" to Cannes for screening...

In fact, it is selling films.

Adding a "Republic of China Detective", the problem is not big!

Gao Fenfen nodded: "Golden Harvest basically agreed to our request to become a shareholder..."

Well, Tianmei Company has invested in Golden Harvest...

After all, we have to count on Golden Harvest as a distribution channel in Southeast Asia.

Shen Xudong is very much in favor of this... It is an established strategy to buy shares first, and when the time is right, to buy directly.

"Let's not talk about that for now," Gao Fenfen interrupted him, and then asked, "Have you read online reviews recently?"

"What evaluation?"

"Say we can't make blockbusters!"

Blockbuster...

Shen Xudong was a little hesitant: "Why do you want to make a big movie?"

Gao Fenfen's expression was very serious: "Although our company's profitability is top-notch, in the eyes of colleagues, it is still not top-notch, because there is no real big production. In today's world, being able to make blockbuster movies shows that you are capable. Even theaters are highly valued!"

"...OK, I'll think about it..."
