You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 152: The agency is too clever (additional update)

"How about it?"

Wen Qifang looked at Jiang Qilin expectantly, looking forward to his answer.

Jiang Qilin was a little confused, what else could he do?
This is just a scene. Although it was performed well and I enjoyed it very much, "Bright Sword" has already been released. I'm afraid no one will see this scene. So what else can I do?

Seeing Jiang Qilin's blank expression, Wen Qifang showed a mysterious smile, then raised his hand and clicked on the tablet to exit the full screen and asked, "What now?"

Jiang Qilin looked at the screen in confusion.

The title of this video is [Military Parade with Victory]. Looking back on the part I played, it was quite interesting. This title is quite appropriate.

Then, he saw the playback volume below.

"Ten million?"

Just such a small clip has tens of millions of views?

Jiang Qilin was shocked. If it was some popular celebrity with low traffic, this number of views would not be surprising, but he was just an [-]th-tier actor.

"Found it!"

Wen Qifang naturally noticed Jiang Qilin's surprise and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

"You have such good eyesight!"

She also had to sigh that when Jiang Qilin wanted to play a small role in Xihong Film and Television, she actually refused.

But after all, she was busy, and Jiang Qilin was just a small actor. Since Jiang Qilin insisted, she didn't bother to care.

Unexpectedly, he actually performed well.

If she can strike while the iron is hot and take advantage of the popularity to play one or two more lovable roles, maybe Jiang Qilin's celebrity status will surpass that of the third-tier celebrity she mainly leads now. Of course she will be happy!
"This is director Gao's new drama "Escape", and you are going to be the male lead. This is Director Huo's new drama "Secretly Hidden", which is also the male lead. There is also "The Condor" directed by Zhang Ji Zhong. I invite you to You go to audition Yin Zhiping. Although you don't have many roles, it is a rare opportunity to appear in Director Zhang's play..."

As he said this, Wen Qifang took out a stack of scripts and handed them to Jiang Qilin.

Jiang Qilin was also a little confused. He had been playing seriously these days and had not noticed the news about "Bright Sword". The sudden and huge changes made him feel like he had fallen into a dream.

Looking at the stack of scripts in front of him, he even worried more about gains and losses than surprises.

When had Jiang Qilin ever fought such a rich battle?
In Qiongzhou, on the beach, the heroine and the second heroine in cool clothes were playing happily.

Cheng Hao stood aside blankly.

"Crack!"

The director shouted with some dissatisfaction, then came to Cheng Hao, tried his best to suppress his anger and said to him, "Speak, it's time for you to speak!"

"What's going on with you these days? Why do you always get distracted during filming?"

"Are you okay? If not, just rest for a few days and let's shoot other scenes first!"

Cheng Hao woke up from a dream, with some sweat on his forehead. This was the second male lead opportunity that he had finally won. If he didn't perform well, his future would probably be ruined. He quickly assured the director, "I'm fine. I It’s okay, I’m just a little tired recently, I can adjust it, let’s do another one, I’m sure I won’t make a mistake!”

He understood the truth, but he couldn't control his random thoughts at all.

A few days ago, Tianliangjian was launched at the Golden Theater of Shenhua TV. He could comfort himself that the TV station had declined, so it was no big deal to be in the Golden Theater.

But then "Bright Sword" became more and more popular on the Internet. Of course he noticed it while still surfing the Internet. At that time, he was already a little unbalanced. But at this time, he could still comfort himself. Even if he went, he was just acting. It's just a sidekick. Whether "Bright Sword" is popular or not has little to do with me. At most, it can be used to talk about when bragging.

However, yesterday he got news that Jiang Qilin had won the role of Yin Zhiping in "The Condor" directed by Zhang Kezhong, as well as the male lead in a major online movie.

He also saw the famous scene of [Victorious Military Parade] with Huo Jiang Qilin.

He was very happy for his good friend, but it was impossible to say that he was not envious or jealous at all.

At that moment, inner demons could not help but arise.

He had doubts about his decision, "Am I really wrong?"

……

In Xiangjiang, in the Deep Water Bay Villa, Liu Shiyu was sitting on the sofa. He seemed to be several years older.

The graceful lady also sat next to him, but this time, she could no longer find the words to comfort Liu Shiyu.

At first, when he saw Xihong Film and Television disparaging the so-called "war dramas" he had made in their promotions, Liu Shiyu was naturally furious. Although he himself knew that the filming was poor, he could Say, others can't.

Just like college students can complain about their own school's rubbish, but they won't be happy if outsiders complain like this.

The subject of war dramas is there, and so many directors have made them, but how many of them will become famous in the end?

What's wrong with him making some bad money?
So at that time, he watched Xihongshi Film and Television with the intention of watching jokes, and even made fun of it with many people in the industry.

When "Bright Sword" was screened at Shenhua TV's Golden Theater, he was a little jealous, but knowing the inside story, he thought it was just Xihong Film and Television's bad luck and nothing special.

But now, he can no longer deceive himself.

It turns out that filming a war drama can be both enjoyable and fun to watch!

……

Kiwi, in the conference room, Qi Yongan looked at the people present with a livid face.

On the projector screen behind him is a large list of data of various dimensions, such as the number of views, the number of new acquisitions, popularity, discussion...

Needless to say, it is the data of "Bright Sword".

Now he really wants to get rid of all the people who voted against the purchase of "The Princess".

It's a pity that he can only think about it. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is impossible to deny everything about a person just because of one mistake.

It's just that he didn't expect that this originally small mistake would turn out to be so wrong now.

After missing "The Princess", he thought he just missed out on a popular drama. The Kiwi family has a big business, so they can still afford the cost of trial and error.

Even when "Bright Sword" was met with lukewarm reception at the beginning, he was secretly happy about it.

But now, he realizes what hot dramas he has missed. What he has missed is the huge treasure of Xihong Film and Television!

What makes him even more heartbroken is that the number of daily active users of Xiaopo Station has increased sharply, and the daily active users of Kiwi Guo are plummeting!
Over and over again, they really lost money on kiwi fruit!
Therefore, "We can't replicate the imagination of "The Princess", but "Bright Sword" has traces, so we have to make our own war drama!"

Qi Yongan announced the company’s plans!
Since we can't eat meat, it's always okay to follow the trend and drink soup.

……

Penguin Pictures, Sun Huaizhong sat in the conference room, leaning back in his chair, saying nothing.

Things are unpredictable, and what happened these days has hit him hard.

Originally, when he saw "Bright Sword" on a TV station, he was ready to follow suit. However, not to mention Shenhua TV, even local TV stations were unwilling to purchase his "Fighting Horse".

Even if he went out of his way to find some old friends to establish relationships with, he was ruthlessly rejected in the end.

Perhaps because he was really annoyed by him, or because of his old friendship, an old friend told him that the quality of "The Fighting Spirit Transformed into a Horse" was too poor. This kind of shoddy drama would be useless even if he gave the TV station money. If you can't get it, let alone let the TV station purchase it.

This is really shocking!
If he had known this outcome earlier, Sun Huaizhong might not have pestered his old friend and insisted on an answer.

But he was still unconvinced. How could those war dramas be just as shoddy and still make money on TV stations? The quality of his "Fighting Spirits Transformed into Horses" was indeed a bit worse, but it required a popular star for the acting and an intern editor for the plot. If there is a popular original IP, why can't it compare to those war dramas?
What he couldn't accept even more was that "Bright Sword", who was originally on the street like them and relied on connections to rise to the top, turned out to be a late bloomer and became popular on the Internet. It was so popular that he had no friends.

He thought that this year might be the year of his birth year, so why not go home and ask his wife to buy him some more red underwear?
Although he was full of negative emotions, he knew that as the leader of the company, he could not lose his mind.

After waiting for everyone to discuss for a while, he sat up straight and said, "Okay, Tingfeng, you are responsible for finding some self-media authors to make some ghost videos for "Fighting Qi Transformed into Horses", and then buy some traffic and create some hot spots. , causing everyone to discuss..."

"You guys are doing publicity, you should know how to do it, right?"

"It doesn't matter if we fail temporarily, but we must learn from our failures. This time "Bright Sword" has taught us a good lesson, especially your publicity department, we must learn from it!"

……

Jinzhong, Jiexiu Mianshan, Orchid Inn.

Nearly half a month has passed, and the employees of Xihong Film and Television are still in the inn, because after discovering that "Bright Sword" became popular, Li Mingyue announced that the vacation would be extended for another week.

She looked down on the small money before, but now she only thinks that if she can spend more, it will be worth it.

Although everyone is a little embarrassed to play, on the one hand, "Bright Sword" is indeed a hit, which is the reward they deserve. On the other hand, living in Mianshan is so comfortable!
They go out together in groups of three or five every day to experience the local customs and customs, mingle with the local villagers, and have a great time. This returns to the original intention of traveling. Rather than rushing to a place to take photos in a hurry, Then go to the next place for the special forces trip.

This way of traveling makes them feel like they are really on vacation.

And looking at the increasing data of "Bright Sword" these days, everyone at Xihong Film and Television is very happy.Except Li Mingyue!
Everyone can see that Li Mingyue is not in good spirits these days. Of course they won't think that the boss is in bad spirits because of the good results of "Bright Sword". After all, who would be sad about making money?
According to Zhang Keer's speculation, Li Mingyue was probably suffering from endocrine disorders due to acclimatization, and relatives suddenly came.

Reasonable and convincing.

However, Su You lobbied to take her to the hospital, but Li Mingyue rolled her eyes at Su You and sternly refused.

In the room, Li Mingyue looked pale and listless, which was in line with Zhang Keer's guess about her.

He looked at the tablet in his hand with a sad face, or rather, the playback data of "Bright Sword" on the tablet.

The total cost of the filming of "Bright Sword" plus the large amount of publicity costs invested in the later period was 2.4 million, but the system was settled based on the system funds at the time of investment and project establishment.

In other words, when the "Bright Sword" project was established, the system funds were 1.6 million. When the final settlement was made, any part of the system funds over 1.6 million would be counted as profit, regardless of whether the money came from the income of "Bright Sword" or "The Princess". 》.

This is also the reason why Li Mingyue frantically throws money to promote it, because she wants to spend all the system funds, otherwise she may not lose even if "Bright Sword" does not make a penny.

so sad!
At this time, the number of views of "Bright Sword" has exceeded 16 billion. Of course, these 16 billion are not necessarily all valid views.

But Li Mingyue no longer had any hope. Even if it was not all played effectively, how much could she lose?

Ding!
It’s time for settlement, let’s pray…

The system light curtain pops up automatically.

[Film and television investment rebate system]

[Host: Li Mingyue]

[Profit conversion ratio 100:1, loss conversion ratio 1:10]

[Settlement time: Settling in progress]

[System funds: 1.5 million + 9991.4

Fixed assets: Alpha Business (9.6)]

[Personal property: 1193784 (+100)]

Ah!
Li Mingyue screamed like a groundhog.

100 yuan!

Hahaha……

The system actually converted 100 yuan for her!

Hahaha……

She felt like she was about to vomit blood!
But everything that happened today was her own fault.

The agency was too smart to calculate, and it wasted Qingqing's life.

She originally wanted to use publicity to ruin the reputation of "Bright Sword" so that she could complete the loss during the settlement cycle.

Who knew that even if she had reached this point, "Bright Sword" would still be popular.

Just because of her interference, "Bright Sword" became popular half a month later.

If she hadn't done so much and given "Bright Sword" half a month more, could the system's funds be doubled?
Judging from the subsequent income of "The Princess", this is extremely possible.

If he saves more than 3 million in publicity expenses, can he earn more than [-] million?

It can convert more than 300 million!
Ok!

Only 300...

Li Mingyue quickly gave up this stupid idea.

She worked hard to earn more than 300 million to convert more than 30 million, but if she lost money, she only needed to lose [-] to achieve the same result.

Is it easier to lose 30 yuan or to make [-] million yuan? There is no doubt at all.

What makes her even more uncomfortable is that because the settlement time is too early, "Bright Sword" will probably generate a lot of revenue in the next few months. How can she spend all this money?
She really wants to ask someone now, how can she spend hundreds of millions in just a few months for the right reasons?
Waiting online, very anxious!

But she didn't do this because she knew that the methods provided by Huyou friends would most likely not be able to pass the system level, and after experiencing what happened last time, she no longer believed in those unreliable Huyou friends. .

After all, she was the one who shouldered everything!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully investing in a masterpiece with a rating of 9.5 or above! 】

After the settlement was completed, the system light curtain did not disperse, but a line of words popped up again.

[Investing in more masterpieces is the purpose of this system. In order to ensure that the host can invest in more masterpieces without any worries, the host will be rewarded with a guaranteed card*1]

[Guaranteed card: In order to prevent the host from continuous losses, after using the investment guaranteed card, the host can receive a guaranteed income of 10% of the investment amount. The host can invest in better works without any worries. 】

The system began to mock herself again, and Li Mingyue burst into tears.

Seeing this guaranteed card, she thought of her wasted 500 million, which was the most money she had ever earned.

This time, no matter what she says, she will never believe this so-called guarantee card again. Even if she starves to death, even if she jumps from the inn, she will not use this crappy guarantee card!

In the room next to Li Mingyue.

Su You is also holding the latest Shenhua 60pro tablet. This is the latest tablet equipped with a chip developed by Shenhua's own architecture. Su You also spent some effort to get it.

Li Mingyue, on the other hand, got this tablet just after it was released. She has really great powers.

Thinking of her qualifications for video distribution, Su You felt that Li Mingyue's identity was not simple.

However, he is now also a well-known director in China, so he will not show any timidity.

An animation was playing on the tablet and everyone had gone out to play. However, Su You was worried that Li Mingyue would not be able to find anyone when he needed someone to take care of him, so he stayed at the inn to ensure that he would be there as soon as possible when Li Mingyue needed care.

Of course, what he told everyone was that he found a good animation and wanted to stay in the inn to catch up on it.

Everyone looked like they understood, and they didn't force Su You. It was normal to go on a trip and lie in the inn to catch up on dramas!

Su You wasn't completely lying. The animation he was watching now was really interesting.

Everything in the animated world, including characters, are made of small squares stacked one after another, just like the game "Minecraft". At first glance, you might think it was shot using a game.

But Su You could tell that, except for the first few episodes, which were shot using games, the subsequent episodes were all synthesized using special effects.

This is not the key point. The key point is that the producer is full of ingenuity and uses such a square and stiff square man to tell the story in a vivid and fascinating way.

The director and screenwriter still have something.

This drama has currently been aired in its second season, and the second season has ended for some time. However, judging from the news in the comment area, the situation of the production team is not very good. They are all using love to generate electricity, and even Losing money.

This couldn't help but make Su You a little excited.

beep!

It was as if he could feel Su You's heartbeat.

A mechanical sound sounded in Su You's heart, and a light screen popped up at the same time.

[Congratulations to the host for producing a masterpiece with a score of 9.5 or above, and receiving praise from the entire network. Award for film and television special effects (elementary level), including special effects design plan, special effects technology...]

Su You's eyes lit up, and Gulu jumped out of bed, staring at the light screen with a bright light in his eyes, as if he had found a treasure.

He originally thought that it was a surprise that "Bright Sword" brought him a lot of points, but he didn't expect to get additional rewards.

He has also won [Color Correction] before, and his use in "The Princess" also received unanimous praise. But this time, he was directly rewarded for film and television special effects. This can be said to be the thing he lacks the most. He originally thought he would Spend a lot of time developing your team.

There are many classic works in his film and television treasure trove. If he can present them with better special effects, it will definitely give the world a big shock!

　Mind broke.

　　I did something stupid. Can the brothers who saw it forget it?

　　Can I bribe those dozen brothers with an extra five thousand words? (crying)
　　By the way, please check to see if the points have been refunded. If not, join the group and I will send you a red envelope.

　　I'm really terrible at it.

　　Also, the last chapter is in a small dark room, and it won’t be released until tomorrow.
