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

Chapter 161 I, Li Mingyue, have arranged this favor.

In the hotel, Li Mingyue, who had just woken up, began to roll over on the bed, but she quickly sat up again because she thought about today's itinerary, and she jumped out of bed with excitement, put on her slippers and started to wash up.

A wonderful day not to be missed!

woo woo woo...

As soon as I got out of bed, my phone on the bedside started vibrating.

The timing is too accurate.

But after seeing the caller ID, Li Mingyue was not surprised.

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

There was a woman's nagging on the other end of the phone, and it was something Li Mingyue didn't like to hear.

"Eat!" In order to reduce trouble, Li Mingyue chose to lie without hesitation.

"Do you think Auntie believes it or not?"

Unfortunately, the person opposite was Aunt Huang, a woman who knew Li Mingyue better than Li Mingyue herself, "Don't waste your money just because you are young. When you reach Auntie's age, you will know that it is easy to get stomach problems if you don't eat breakfast! "

"Okay, then I'm going to have breakfast now. I'll hang up first!"

Li Mingyue started to show off her wits again.

"Auntie, there's still business to do."

Aunt Huang naturally knew Li Mingyue, and she was a little dumbfounded. She knew that some words would be useless even if she said them, but maybe it was the nature of a parent, so she would still say a few more words every time.

"Now that Xihongshi Film and Television has made great achievements, have you ever thought about making a movie?"

"filming?"

Li Mingyue murmured to herself. In fact, for her, it doesn't matter what she shoots. As long as she can lose money, shooting Internet jokes is also good. However, with the current scale of Xihongshi Film and Television, it seems that she has too much money to spend on Internet jokes. .

Therefore, making a movie seems to be a good choice.

But why did Aunt Huang suddenly ask this question?
"Penguin and Qianda Pictures are currently in a competition..."

Aunt Huang told the story of Penguin and Chida's competition for the theater market in detail, but she concealed Chida's predicament at this time, giving the impression that Chida is still very strong and is just fighting with Penguin. Wrists, just a strong collision.

"So, why don't you also make a movie to help Qian Da help the scene?"

Aunt Huang finally decided to seek help from Li Mingyue. Li Guanghong said it easily, but how could he give up the foundation he had worked for for decades?

"But you also have to think clearly. This time the penguins are coming. Emo and sad twists are also well-known directors in China, and there are also famous Hollywood directors to help. If you really want to make a movie, in this strong contrast, as long as the quality If it's a little bit worse, it's likely to be crushed, resulting in a box office failure, and probably a loss of money."

Facing Li Mingyue, she certainly wouldn't hide anything, "I asked you to make a movie because our other two movies are both comedy movies, so I need to take advantage of your current popularity to make another movie to balance it out. It depends on the audience’s taste, so your movie will most likely lose money.”

She knew that her decision was somewhat selfish, but she still wanted Li Mingyue to make his own decision.

What?Lose money?

Upon hearing this, Li Mingyue suddenly became excited.

Aunt Huang, you are really my mother!

If you had come to me for such a good thing earlier, could your own daughter not help you?
Li Mingyue was so happy that she jumped up on the spot, threw herself heavily into the soft bed, and danced and rolled on the bed, so excited that she couldn't control herself.

Make a movie, a blockbuster, that can only be released in Qianda Cinema, and compete with well-known directors such as Emo and Sad Twist!

Blockbuster movies require a lot of money.

It can only be released in Qianda Cinema, which means that the box office will definitely be affected.

As for fighting emo in the ring, let alone that. This is much more serious than TV dramas. TV dramas are daily necessities. Today's young people will not eat well if they don't watch some TV dramas when eating.

Movies can be regarded as an occasional luxury product for leisure and entertainment. Although they are not expensive, the time cost is not low. Many people may only watch one or two movies in a period of time.

So if you can only watch one movie, when an emo movie and a movie from a small company are placed in front of you for you to choose, I believe most people will choose the emo movie without hesitation to buy tickets.

And because they are released at the same time, it is inevitable that the movies will be compared, and the comparison will be all-round. When the time comes, in front of the works of famous directors such as emo, any minor flaws in your works will be magnified, causing a collapse in reputation. .

Once the reputation collapses, the box office will naturally collapse too!

That’s simply hot Thai pants!
I, Li Mingyue, have decided to help with this!

"No problem, it just so happens that our next plan is to make a movie!"

Li Mingyue agreed without hesitation.

Of course, Aunt Huang knew that Xihongshi Film and Television's next plan could not be a movie. Li Mingyue must have said this deliberately to comfort her. She was touched and worried at the same time, "In this case, Aunt Huang will change the share for you." Let’s make it 532, then you’ll get 5% and the theater will get 3%!”

It is equivalent to a [-]-[-] split. Since it is released in Qianda Cinema, due to the relationship between the two companies, Qianda Films will naturally be responsible for the distribution. This share ratio can be said to be very favorable.

For Aunt Huang, the most important thing now is not the income from the box office, but more importantly, seizing the market through movies. As long as Qianda Cinema's market share can be guaranteed, Qianda Cinema can achieve normal results. valuation.

If the battle with Penguin fails this time, the valuation of Qianda Cinema will drop by at least 30%, or even more. This is far from being compensated by dividing the box office accounts of several movies.

After all, everyone goes to Penguin Cinema to watch movies. With so many cinemas in Qianda, the maintenance fee alone is not a small amount of money, but has become a negative asset. Such an asset will naturally not have a high value.

According to her original idea, she was originally planning to directly fully invest in Li Mingyue to make a movie, and just rely on the reputation of Xihong Acting Film and Television. Although this may damage the reputation of Xihong Acting Film and Television, it will at least ensure that Li Mingyue will not lose too much. Rich.

With Qianda's current situation, it would be really difficult to spend one or two hundred million at once.

Of course, even if she proposed this idea, she would be firmly rejected by Li Mingyue. She would let others invest in a movie that was destined to lose money?
"do not!"

"Although we have a good relationship, we cannot break the market rules. If we say it is 442, then it must be 442!"

Li Mingyue spoke righteously and refused. As a boss in the film and television industry, she still knew some common sense, such as the normal box office split ratio.

"Okay, it's settled, we will definitely hand over an answer that satisfies you during the Spring Festival!"

Li Mingyue hung up the phone excitedly, not giving Aunt Huang a chance to say more.

Hahaha……

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingyue bared her teeth and claws on the bed for a long time before venting her excitement.

She believed that she would definitely suffer a loss this time. She had never been so confident as this time!

There are three giants of emo, sad twists, and famous Hollywood directors in front of them, and there is myself, a young kid in the back, and there is also the confrontation between Penguin and Qianda. With my small body, if I get close to it, isn't it the rhythm of being crushed every minute?
The most important thing is that Su You has never made a movie before. It is indeed cruel for him to encounter such a hell-level opponent for the first time in a movie, but it doesn't matter. I can give him unlimited funds for filming. One day he will be no worse than emo!

But for now, let him go through some hardships first!

And the shooting time this time is very tight. There are less than four months left before the Spring Festival. We need to complete the shooting + editing + submission for review and filing. I am afraid that the actual time left for shooting will not exceed three months.

Even if he, Su You, has three heads and six arms, he can't win this kind of losing battle! "The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the birds are saying morning, morning, morning..."

Humming a song, I went into the bathroom and started washing up. The sunny day started with such good news.

After a hard trip to the Magic City, although the award ceremony was almost fruitless, everyone's mood was not affected too much. Under the leadership of Li Mingyue, the group came to Disneyland in great force.

Over the Horizon, Space Patrol, Pirates of the Caribbean, Carousel, Dumbo...

Li Mingyue had a great time.

She had played these projects many times before, but this time, she felt particularly happy.

What's a little uncomfortable is that Hao Wei is really popular now. Even though he is wearing a cap, sunglasses, and is fully armed, many people still recognize him every time he walks.

Fortunately, Xihongshi Film and Television did not go out of their way to market him. These fans all fell in love with him as an actor because of the drama. They were not so fanatical. The most they could do was ask from a distance if they could take a photo together, and then ask if it would disturb them. You guys or something.

It's not like organizing a group of fans to parade with signs and directly occupying public space. Normal fans still can't do it, but Diagon can do such a thing.

Soon, they came to queue outside the Rapid Light Wheel Project.

I have to say that there are really many people in Disneyland. From the time I came in in the morning to now, I have been waiting in line 99% of the time.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's a shame if you don't play when you come here!"

At the end of the line, three girls were chatting and arguing in low voices.

Su You looked up.

Oh, isn't this a coincidence? The ones speaking at the front of the team were actually the three girls they met on the high-speed train before.

But think about it, when they come to visit Magic City, they will most likely come to Disneyland, but they didn’t expect that the time of arrival would be such a coincidence.

The girl named Ziyi was holding her two good sisters and wouldn't let them go without saying anything.

At this time, one of the girls happened to see Su You and his group walking towards the back of the team, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Director Su!"

The three people ran over and asked nonsense, "You guys come to play too?"

"What a coincidence!"

Su You also smiled and said hello.

The girl named Ziyi looked a little excited, "Hello, Director Su!"

"My name is Zhang Ziyi, and I am a senior student at China National Theater Academy. I have acted in "Stars Lighting" directed by Sun Wenxu before. If there is a chance, I hope Director Su will give me a chance. I also want to act in Director Su's play!"

In the past few days, she searched for Su You's information on the Internet and confirmed that the person they met on the high-speed train was really the talented director Su You who directed "The Princess" and "The Sword". As an acting student, she was naturally Very exciting.

Yo!
Recommend yourself!
Su You smiled slightly, this girl had a very manly character.

"Okay, if there is a suitable role, I will find you!"

Su You smiled and replied that with such a personality, he did have many outstanding roles in his mind that were suitable for her.

……

After returning from Shanghai, Xihong Film and Television, under the leadership of Su You, carried out a drastic expansion of recruitment, including the legal department, publicity department, finance department, human resources, production department...

Although the number of people in each department is not too large now, although it is small and well-organized, Xihong Decoration Film and Television finally has a corporate atmosphere. The originally somewhat empty office area has finally become lively.

Now that everything is ready, it’s time to go big!

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door of Su You's office, and Li Mingyue walked in with her head in the air, and began to look around and cowardly in the office.

Su You was amused for a while. He knew that Li Mingyue must have some wild ideas, but he just didn't speak. He wanted to see how long Li Mingyue could hold back.

"Cucumber flavored potato chips, do you want to eat them?"

Li Mingyue was opposite the desk and handed over the potato chips in his hand with a flattering expression on his face.

Su You was amused for a moment, but he didn't reach out. He turned his head and said arrogantly, "I won't eat it because I'm afraid it's poisonous!"

Click.

Li Mingyue opened the package, took a piece of potato chips, and ate them. Then she looked at Su You, "I've eaten them all, what are you afraid of?"

"Who knows if you have taken the antidote in advance?"

Su You still didn't buy it, "Maybe you hid the poison in your fingernails and poisoned it while you were taking the potato chips. That's what the TV series says, so I won't be fooled!"

Normally no one could eat cucumber-flavored potato chips from Li Mingyue.

Showing courtesy for nothing, either committing adultery or stealing, Su You will not be fooled!

Snapped!
Angry and embarrassed, Li Mingyue slapped the desk, walked around behind the desk with agility, came to Su You's side, grabbed a handful of potato chips from the potato chip bag, and stuffed them into Su You's mouth.

"Are you going to eat?"

"Hey, hey, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything...wuwuwu..."

Before Su You could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked by potato chips.

"Is it delicious?"

Under Li Mingyue's threatening eyes, Su You just nodded in surrender.

"very good!"

Li Mingyue showed a satisfied smile, "Since you have eaten my food, you have to do things for me!"

"So, what is going on?" Su You was also a little curious. What did Li Mingyue want him to do after spending so much effort?

"Have you decided what to film in your next drama?"

"I have some ideas!"

After earning a lot of points for "Bright Sword", Su You had too many choices, but he did not make a choice casually, otherwise, if the subsequent dramas were too stretched, he would not be able to earn enough points. , in exchange for not getting the drama you want, it would be a tragedy.

"(︶︹︺)"

Li Mingyue didn't know where Su You got so much inspiration, but it didn't matter, she still had plan B.

"In that case, let's make a movie!"
