I'm serious about making money

"Tell me, what do you think of this movie?"

In the meeting room of Huayi Building, Huang Zhonglei knocked on the table and asked.

"We used to think that it was a low-budget movie, and there was no threat. Now that "Broken Love 33" has passed the Lantern Festival, the box office has broken through 8000 million, and it will be Valentine's Day in two days. It is rushing to break through [-] million. .”

"33 Days of Broken Love" is the biggest dark horse in this Spring Festival file, and the most affected one is naturally Fang Huayi, the producer of "You Long Xi Feng".

So Huang Zhonglei immediately organized the company's executives to watch "33 Days of Broken Relationship". After watching, everyone communicated and only came to one conclusion: mediocrity.

So mediocre that they think this movie is really nothing special.

It's neither funny nor sensational. The heroine has a lot of roles, her looks are mediocre, and her acting skills are mediocre.

Just this, can hit the box office of [-] million?

"Xiaogang, what do you think?"

Feng Xiaogang was drinking tea here, and was called by Huang Zhonglei without thinking.

He swallowed his tea, spit out a piece of tea, and said slowly: "You can't just pick on others' faults, the audience's eyes are discerning, and being able to get such a high box office shows that this movie must have merit."

"Have you noticed, who are the people who went to the theater to watch this movie?"

He paused, and gave the answer himself: "I observed it, and there are thirty people sitting in a theater, at least twenty girls, and the rest of the boys are basically accompanied by their girlfriends."

"This shows that this movie is not for old guys like us, but for young girls. There is a special name for this kind of movie in the United States, it's called a chick movie, and it's the first time it's made in China."

"So don't you always think that the heroine has a lot of roles and looks average. It is because of this that the audience thinks that she is one of them. If Liu Yifei is really replaced in the filming, it will be a bad thing."

"Besides, you haven't seen how delicately the little girl's psychology after a broken relationship is explored in this movie. This is his skill. Anyway, if I were a young girl, I would definitely like to watch "33 Days of Broken Relationship"."

One sentence made everyone laugh.

Feng Xiaogang himself laughed and said: "The life in "You Long Xi Feng" is too far away from me, but after watching "33 Days of Broken Love", it feels like it happened to me. Whoever has never squeezed the subway, who has never lost love what?"

If Huang Zhonglei realized something, seeing Feng Xiaogang's conversation was full of enthusiasm, he nodded, "Go on."

Feng Xiaogang took another sip of tea and said, "In fact, not only "33 Days of Broken Love", but also a cartoon like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" can win 7500 million box office, why?"

"People are for children to watch. One child plus two parents, maybe even grandparents, can the box office not be high?"

"I understand what Xiaogang means," said Huang Zhonglei, who is also a smart person, and said clearly, "Now the domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, and it's time to tap into market segments."

Domestic commercial films are just in their infancy, and they haven't even made genre films, let alone market segments.

The United States is much better at this point. There are family movies specially for children, some for women, some for young people, and some for bald middle-aged men-in this kind of movie, the middle-aged crisis is an eternal theme.

In the Spring Festival file of 2009, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" dug the first shovel for the children's market, and Jiang Yu dug another shovel and developed the women's market, so both of them made a lot of money.

"Xiao Gang really deserves to be a great director. He has dissected "33 Days of Broken Relationship" in a few words. After all, young directors are still incomparable to you," a boss promptly sent a rainbow fart.

Feng Xiaogang waved his hand, "What kind of skill do I have, the real skill is being the first to eat crabs."

Another boss laughed and said, "If you want me to say, now that we understand the benefits of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", we can also make movies with this theme. There is nothing difficult about it."

When "Crazy Racing" exceeded [-] million before, they also pondered whether it was possible to make such a movie with black humor and multi-line narrative.

As a result, a group of screenwriters were assembled, not to mention black humor, they couldn't even make up a multi-line narrative story, and only then did they know that this kind of movie is really not something everyone can enjoy.

But what is "33 Days of Broken Relationship"?

I can do it too!

Feng Xiaogang drank his tea with his head down, chuckled lightly, and didn't argue anymore.

Just this group of guys always think that I can do it if I do it, and when they really do it, they will know if it will work.

Every director has his own style. Like "33 Days of Broken Love", Ning Hao couldn't make a female film that is close to the lives of Chinese people, and neither can he.

In other words, the fact that such a young man as Jiang Yu was able to shoot it can only show one thing, that he has met the audience's eyes.

This is the most core and irreplaceable ability of a director!

Of course, there is no need to talk to these people about these words.

After the meeting, Huang Zhonglei thought for a while and suddenly said, "Can we get in touch with this Jiang Yu and let him come to our company, he just graduated this year?"

In one sentence, all the people present fell silent.

Yes, they just analyzed and analyzed, and forgot to mention one thing - Jiang Yu, he hasn't even graduated this year!

Monster.

Huang Zhonglei sighed in his heart and announced the end of the meeting.

Those who tried to get in touch with Jiang Yu were not only Guang Huayi, but almost all the relatively large domestic film and television companies threw olive branches to Jiang Yu, and there were endless invitations for receptions and dinners.

Jiang Yu was so annoyed by this, she simply rejected all of them, not going to any of them.

He has a lot of high-quality projects that can be realized, so there is no need to hang out with those guys for the time being.

What are circles?

To put it bluntly, it is a group of vested interests who report to the group to keep warm, monopolize resources, and absorb young people who are climbing up by the way.

The so-called Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, and Hong Kong circle are actually the same thing.

When Jiang Yu finishes developing the project at hand, his own small circle will probably be established.

"Come on, cheers!"

In a luxurious private room of a KTV, Jiang Yu, Liu Sisi, Huang Bai, Ning Hao and others raised their cups high, slammed into each other heavily, and celebrated loudly.

After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival schedule is basically settled, and "33 Days of Broken Love" still has more capacity after it breaks 8000 million.

It's Valentine's Day again soon, and the theaters are thinking about putting up a gimmick to re-market it, so that the box office will have a rebound by then.

Even if it is as conservative as Huang Bai, it can be seen that it is really not a big problem for "33 Days of Broken Relationship" to break through [-] million at the box office.

Followed by regret, very regret.

Regretting that Jiang Yu had clearly sent this project to him, why didn't he dare to invest in it?

Even if you only invest 10 yuan, that's a 300% rate of return!

"Negative energy from Cork, +99!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu looked at him, "Your PetroChina has fallen again?"

"Fuck, can you not mention this?" Huang Bai felt that he had been stabbed again.

Because there were two women, Liu Sisi and Chen Yang, at the celebration party, it was difficult for them to be called girls. Ning Hao patted his thigh and looked at Jiang Yu with complicated eyes.

What he is most proud of is that he is the fourth director with a domestic box office of more than [-] million yuan, and he can be tied with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang.

As a result, Jiang Yu has also sneaked into the team now, making Ning Hao feel that this world is really absurd.

But I can't accept it.

Jiang Yu understood the feelings of these guys too well, and there was only one feeling about it: cool!

Don't think that there is no class among friends. Many people are willing to play with you precisely because you are not as good as him, and he can find confidence in you.

In the past, in their small group, Ning Hao was the absolute boss, and he was the c position every time he ate.

Later, Jiang Yu directly became an investor by investing in "Crazy Racing", and Ning Hao realized that the position of the boss was not guaranteed, and began to look at Jiang Yu at the same level.

Now that Jiang Yu is about to become the fifth domestic director with a box office of over 33 million thanks to "[-] Days of Broken Relationship", Ning Hao actually has a feeling of looking up to him.

He knew that he was really left behind by this kid.

"Have you noticed that the domestic film market is getting bigger?" Jiang Yu said, snatching a small cake from Liu Sisi.

Ning Hao said: "That's true, after all, there are more and more movie theaters in China now."

"That's the reason," Jiang Yu said, "Now you think it's a big deal for a domestic film to break [-] million at the box office. I dare say that it won't take two years to break [-] million at the box office. "

In the past, if Jiang Yu said such a thing, Huang Bai would not believe it.

Stop making trouble, how can there be a movie that breaks one billion.

But the facts proved that Jiang Yu was always right again and again, so Huang Bai couldn't help but not believe it.

"so what?"

"So, don't you want to do something?"

Huang Bai, Ning Hao and the others put down the things in their hands together, and looked at Jiang Yu in unison.

Jiang Yu just smiled slightly.

Ma Dan, talking about future trends with these guys, it feels so good not to be suspected!

In the past, he gave Huang Bai and Ning Hao a lot of advice, but none of them listened to him.

But now, through repeated successes, Jiang Yu has finally established her prestige in this small circle.

From now on, the place where he sits will be seat C!
