At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 758 Retirement

After "If You Are the One" was released, it raked in 8000 million box office in the first week...

It hit a new high in the Lunar New Year file.

In fact, many people didn't like this movie at first - Uncle Ge and Shu Qi really don't get along, no matter what, they feel that the flight attendant has to be dizzy to fall in love with this old man.

Regardless of whether it is compatible or not, "If You Are the One" is very popular, and the absorption rate exceeds that of "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" in November...

Breaking through 1.8 million in five days, before the arrival of New Year's Day, "If You Are the One" has a box office of [-] million, and there is almost no suspense when it breaks [-] million!
Although it does not have an overly radical and independent style, it can still generate discussions and strong social influence among the mainstream Chinese public...

This movie is jointly invested and produced by Tianmei Media and Taihe People. Feng Xiaogang didn't get paid for the director, but directly got a 25% profit share, and Uncle Ge did the same, 20% profit share...

But Tianmei Media is definitely making money-it almost pays back the cost of advertising placement alone.

In addition, the two films "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" and "If You Are the One" have successfully disintegrated the entanglement between Feng Xiaogang and the Huayi brothers...

However, "Assembly" is still invested by Huayi Brothers...

Before the arrival of New Year's Day, the company booked the largest hall in the Park Hyatt Hotel, and directly celebrated the three films "Perfect", "Ip Man", and "If You Are the One".

Shen Xudong also made an appearance, briefly expressed his thoughts, and then left...

Leave all the scenes to the creators of the crew.

……

In fact, holding a celebration is essentially a commercial reception.

Propaganda, I understand!
Shen Xudong found Ning Hao, Huang Bo...Han Yan who were chatting together, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"We are discussing the script of "If You Are the One"... Are you the chief screenwriter?"

"I just wrote an outline and a framework, and it was Director Feng who added the content into it."

Ning Hao clapped his hands: "...I just said, where do you get so many life insights!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "I'm really not that age. And I only wanted to make a road comedy."

After a pause, he continued: "I feel that Director Feng has substituted himself, so I used Qin Fen's words to express that money is not an issue, but a lack of friends. Several good friends have gone their separate ways. After more than ten years Friends I haven’t seen, I don’t know what year it will be when we meet again...

He must have missed those people back then! "

Indeed, after "If You Are the One" in Yuan Shikong, Director Feng hooked up with Wang Shuo and others again.

Wang Shuo also wrote "If You Are the One 2" including "Personal Customization" for him...

"I said why is there a sense of loneliness... Hey, where did the idea for the divergent terminal come from? Did you think about it?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It was Director Feng's idea, to be more precise, it was Peng Haoxiang's idea. It should be the year before last, when Peng Haoxiang was invited to write the script "Nobility" for Director Feng. Although this project failed in the end, Director Feng still wrote down the idea in it. Already!"

"So... does this count as borrowing ideas?"

"Forget it...it's not Peng Haoxiang's original creation!"

Divergent terminal, this first appeared in the movie "Mr. Cheap" directed by Guan Xinhui and starring Eason Chan...

Later, Peng Haoxiang also copied the idea in "Youth DreamWorks".

Shen Xudong changed the subject: "I've been researching the domestic market and the Golden Harvest model recently. I think the market is getting bigger and hot money is pouring into the entertainment industry..."

"how to say?"

"Does this matter? Look at the growth rate of the number of screens. If nothing else, Golden Harvest Cinemas has 32 theaters. We expect the number of theaters to exceed 110 and the number of screens to exceed 500 within three years. You know Golden Harvest is only the fifth-ranked theater chain in the country!"

Huang Bo nodded: "Indeed, in the past, a movie that broke [-] million was considered a big hit, but now it can easily reach [-] to [-] million..."

Shen Xudong sneered: "What is [-] million to [-] million? You will break through [-] million or one billion after a while..."

Han Yan was puzzled: "Why are you telling us this?"

"I want to say that the market is getting better, and the performance of movies that pass the quality standard is definitely higher than before..." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong looked at a few people: "You guys are all creative talents, do you have any idea of ​​​​establishing your own company? ?”

"Start your own company?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, just like Jiahe, the independent producer system!"

"Independent producer?"

"Simply speaking, support directors and actors to set up a satellite company, and then Golden Harvest can invest and make movies together... I thought about it, you will either take 30% of the profits for the movies you make in the future, or you will make them, and Tianmei will buy them for one." Break price..."

"The buyout price?"

"For example, "The Tuner", I think it should have a box office of 1.5 million to 2 million, then I will buy it out for 6500 million... How it sells after that has nothing to do with you!"

Ning Hao was puzzled: "But you invested in "Tuner"..."

"Let me just give you an example... You don't know how to attract investment," Shen Xudong smiled: "Don't think I don't know, a bunch of people have asked you to give you money to make a movie!"

Ning Hao and Han Yan looked at each other, smiled, and did not refute...

This is normal. The Chinese film market is expanding rapidly, but there are too few mature commercial film directors, and even fewer experienced ones can hit the blockbusters. Ning Hao and Han Yan are treasures in the eyes of capital.

Instead of chasing them, is it chasing newcomers?
Shen Xudong then added: "This is actually the model we adopted in cooperation with Feng Xiaogang and Uncle Ge..."

""You Are the One"?"

""Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" and "If You Are the One" are both... Director Feng only receives a basic director's salary of 10, but participates in the profit sharing..."

"How much?"

"He shares 25% of domestic profits, and Uncle Ge shares 20%..."

Ning Hao hurriedly asked: "How much does "If You Are the One" cost?"

Shen Xudong looked around, and then whispered: "The publicity cost is about 2500 million...of which the business replacement is close to 2200 million...the publicity investment is less than 300 million!"

"What about production?"

"The production cost is 4500 million, and the ad placement and pre-roll ads are fully covered..."

"... Then didn't he earn more than 2000 million this time?"

Shen Xudong did some calculations, and shook his head: ""Geng Hao" will give him 2300 million, and "If You Are the One" is only a lot more!"

The total box office of "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" is 2.24 million, and the cost is less than 3000 million. The film was filmed in two places, which was very cheap, and the local government provided a lot of convenience...

The most important thing is that the additional cost of advertising placement is 3800 million——the film has already earned 800 million before it was released!
Huang Bo interjected: "Can I do it too?"

"...Of course you are fine...but you can directly ask me for investment in any project you are optimistic about..."

"to make…"

Shen Xudong picked up the drink, drank it down, and said: "Then I'll go first, you come to the company tomorrow, sign the contract... find a few lawyers, and take a look at it in detail... By the way, the film you are the producer and supervisor of is also Included!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi...

The two were talking to Zhong Lifang.
