Hualiu Director

Chapter 121 Qi Zhan's Goddaughter

"The reputation of "Guarding the Great Wall" has collapsed across the board. None of the stars and actors in the film have made any comments on this, and director Zhang Guoshi's studio has not issued a statement on this. As of 18:00 today, "Guarding the Great Wall" has a box office of 6214 million today. Professional cinema institutions predict that the final box office will be around 8000 million today. Compared with yesterday, it has dropped by more than 43%..."

"The Hollywood comedy love movie "Crazy Rich Asians" is obviously unacceptable. The audience doesn't like the rich Asians filmed by this group of Americans. After ranking sixth on the day of the National Day, it only received 975 million, and it continued to drop today. As of the deadline Today’s box office only received 417 million, and today’s box office is expected to be around 550 million, a drop of nearly 44%..."

"The quality of "The Mystery of Love" is worrying. In addition, the director Teng Tao used six "what can I do" to sue the crew and actors on Weibo, and the film's word of mouth and box office plummeted at the same time. Thanks to the good pre-sale box office ,The first day of the film’s release, the box office was 5104 million, but as of 19:00 in the evening, the real-time box office data on Maoyan was 2735 million on that day, and the total box office was 7840 million, a significant drop.”

"The young animation film "Battle in Yangcun" received 1783 million box office after it opened yesterday, and today it continues to gain 1543 million, with a small drop. Professional organizations predict that the film's final box office is expected to exceed [-] million."

"The military-themed action movie "Wolf Warrior Special Forces" scored 7.1 when it opened. The real fighting scenes and passionate plot pushed the film's reputation to a good score. After receiving 2185 million box office on the opening day, with the Word-of-mouth fermented and the audience spontaneously promoted, today's box office was 2411 million, and the box office rose by 10.3%......"

"The most surprising National Day movie "Life Kiss Me Painfully" was released three days ahead of schedule, and the score of Doubanjiang is stable at 9.2, and it has a very good reputation among professional film critics and ordinary audiences. However, it is limited by the film schedule. The reason is that yesterday’s National Day only earned 1042 million and ranked fifth. But today, with the advantage of attendance, the box office of "Life Kiss Me Badly" continued to rise to 1323 million, an increase of 27% compared to yesterday. I believe that seeing " "Life Kiss Me Badly" performed so well, theaters will soon make corresponding adjustments in the schedule..."

"Let's take a look at the audience from various theaters and see what they have to say about the movie."

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. I originally went for Liu Tianwang, but he has so few roles and the script is too broken..." The middle-aged man shrugged at the camera. He has been Liu Tianwang's die-hard fan for decades, but for This movie can only be said to be a bad movie.

"Wolf Warrior is good, and the action scenes are very exciting, which is very suitable for iron-blooded men to watch. Those planes and tanks are the latest active equipment, and I feel very proud." A man in camouflage uniform was very satisfied with Wu Jin's performance.

"What a messed up plot, Ke Dong's acting is too embarrassing..." As soon as the man finished speaking, the female companion next to him was not happy, "What are you talking about? Not bad..." "It's embarrassing to be out for not being a professional actor..."

"I'm not interested in fighting and killing. I just want to watch some love movies. I wanted to watch "The Secret of Love", but after seeing so many bad reviews on the Internet, I also saw "Life with Pain" on Doubanjiang. I decided to watch this movie because of the high score of "Kiss Me". It was a pleasant surprise. Teacher Chen Ru's performance was amazing and very touching. After watching the whole thing, I felt healed. "The elegant woman wearing glasses is very satisfied with herself The choice, this is the first movie she watched during the National Day file, and it will basically be the last movie. The other ratings are so low, so let's wait for the video site to release free resources before thinking about it.

"This year's most touching and warming movie, there is no one. I strongly recommend everyone to come to the cinema to watch "Life Kiss Me Painfully""

"Life kisses me with pain, but I repay it with a song! I think I also need this attitude to face life. To be honest, I have been empathized."

"The theme song "It's What You Need" is so good, I downloaded this song on my phone right after the movie ended, and I even set it as a ringtone."

……

All satellite TVs and online platforms across the country have entertainment news sections, and the National Day movies are of course the key broadcast targets.The producers of "Guarding the Great Wall" and "The Secret of Love" with the highest cumulative box office are both happy and sad. At present, both ordinary audiences and professional websites are belittling them on the Internet, and the voice of praise is almost inaudible.

Although the leading actors in "Guardian the Great Wall" are still promoting the film, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are actually forced to open the business. There is a high probability that there are promotional clauses in the contract. They are even embarrassed to strongly impress their fans. Post a Weibo or post, and then ignore it, because they also know that if they force a can of poisonous chicken soup, they will definitely come back in the end.

"The Secret of Love" is different, they are lively, but this excitement is actually a scolding battle between the director and actors, NC fans and netizens who play "six what can I do" stalks.

Qi Mei sat tiredly on the large office chair. Listening to the assistant's data report, her heart surged. She knew that the plan to attack Lin Hong this time had completely failed.

In fact, she knew she had failed yesterday when she saw the score of 4.7 and the fancy taunting comments from netizens. In order to file for the National Day, the production cost of "Mystery of Life" increased to 1 million, and the publicity cost of more than 4000 million was so high that almost everyone except The sum of the production costs of the other five films excluding "Great Wall" and "Crazy Rich Asians".

Because of the frenzied competition for film schedules, the share ratio of "Mystery of Life" was not high when negotiating with the theaters. After careful calculation, the box office must reach more than 4 million to ensure that it does not lose money, and today's box office decline and word of mouth. See, 4 million is almost impossible to do.

Qi Mei packed up her mood and went home. The unsatisfactory work did not make her unhappy all the time. In life, she was still an absolute winner in life, a proper wealthy princess.

Today, Dad Qi Zhan personally made her favorite steak Wellington, and someone helped to serve it to the table as soon as she got home.

Qi Zhan was also very happy to see his baby girl eating deliciously. Since the doctor asked him to reduce his work, he has put more energy on golf and cooking. Of course, the company is left to his daughter to take care of. Mystery" was his first test for Qi Mei.

"Dad, I've let you down!" Qi Mei suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved as she ate. Why would she, who was so good and strong since childhood, lose to the person she least wanted to lose at such a juncture where she wanted to win.

Seeing that his daughter stopped eating suddenly, Qi Zhan felt a little distressed.

"Dad is not disappointed in you, really! In fact, I was not optimistic about this project from the beginning, and I was ready to lose money."

Qi Mei was very puzzled when she heard Qi Zhan's words. Although her father didn't start from scratch, it didn't mean that he didn't care about money. Besides, "Mystery of Love" was not a small project, it was a big production with over 2 million production and publicity.

"why?"

"Because I need you to lose once!" Qi Zhan turned the steak over while talking, and he had to be distracted from the heat while talking, which was not easy.

"You have been too smooth since you were young. This is because your talent and hard work are enough, but this is actually not a good thing. Whether it is your major or your work experience at Columbia Films, it shows that you will be an outstanding one. Your successor, but I know you will stumble.

In fact, it’s my fault too. If you hadn’t insisted on sending you to the United States to study, maybe you would be even better now.

American education is about motivating individual strengths and specialties. You have done a good job in this. However, the social environment and way of thinking in China and the United States are very different. It is difficult for you to change your way of thinking as soon as you come back, and you will subconsciously conflict.

You want to achieve results after you take office. Dad can understand this, so I let you do it and see how you fail.

Sure enough, you made a mistake at the stage of approving the project first. In order to get angry with that kid in Hualiu, you immediately followed up with a movie of the same type, and didn't even check whether there was a schedule for a director suitable for this type in the market. The script is not polished enough.

Then you also made mistakes in the selection of actors. The four leading actors are all Wang Yang's artists.But have you really got to know them? Three of the four have other jobs that haven't been fully completed, and the drama can't be entirely relied on them.

Also, don’t ever think that a company will make all the money. The investment that should be distributed is distributed, and the actor does not necessarily have to be an artist of Wang Yang. You have to give it first to get more back.

You are not as clear as that kid from Hualiu. Not only is his company not involved in brokerage affairs, but he even signs himself with other companies.

Then, during the running stage of the project, your supervision is not enough, giving the crew too much freedom.Unlike an American company that has signed a contract and waited for the film to be completed, in China, you must not give the crew too much authority. As a producer, you have to know the schedule better than the director. If you don’t have time, you need to find a trustworthy producer. , this is not to restrain the crew, but to let them know that you can intervene at any time, so as not to let them slack off.

Also, don't let your opponent control your emotions, and don't let your emotions cloud your judgment.Hualiu’s daring to continue to raise files must have their considerations, and you want to fight with others before the finished film is completed. The project is inherently insufficient, and you have to encourage it.

Also, when there is a problem within the team, the first consideration should not be to adjust the conflict, let alone allow the conflict to develop.Many times the development of things is complicated, and you don’t know what to do to solve the problem at all. At this time, you should do something heavy. If there is no way to solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem.As long as you can block Teng Tao immediately and don't let his words have any credibility, then he is a joke. "

Qi Zhan analyzed Qi Mei's first project "The Profound Truth of Love" from the beginning to the present, and explained almost all the problems she encountered.

Qi Mei lowered her head in shame. She knew she had problems, but she didn't expect so many problems.She is such a proud person, but she turned out to be so immature and ignorant in front of her father.

"Dad, since you know everything, why didn't you remind me?" Qi Mei looked at the smiling father, her tone was a little ashamed and reproachful, the old man was very bad.

"Remind you, hehe, it's not worth it!" Qi Zhan laughed and continued to fry his own steak, his movements were meticulous.

"Isn't it worth it? This is a total investment of 2 million yuan." Even though she has grown rich since childhood, Qi Mei can't help feeling sorry for this figure.

"2 million is a lot, but you know that Wang Yang's market value has exceeded 150 billion. Since I handed Wang Yang over to you, 2 million is worth paying the tuition.

Through this loss, Dad believes that you have learned the most deeply and will never make the same mistake again.I believe that Wang Yang will be in your hands, and you will be able to do better than Dad! "

Qi Mei was moved in her heart. She never thought that her father had such good intentions, and used 2 million to buy herself a memory of a failure, so that she could truly grow.

After the steak was cooked, Qi Zhan brought another plate to his daughter, helped her take away the previous one, and then threw it in a corner of the dining table.Then he pointed to the plate of steak and said, "This is the last trick Dad will teach you, and that is to be good at using the resources in your hands, especially your strongest resources."

Qi Mei looked at the plate of steak, and then at the warm steak in hand, as smart as she already understood what Dad meant.

Steak is like capital. The reason why Wang Yang is Wang Yang is not only because of the hundreds of contracted artists under his banner, not only because of the film and television resources in their hands, but also because of the huge capital they control.This means that Wang Yang has the opportunity to make mistakes. When he finds that the "steak" is cold, he should change it decisively. As long as he can eat enough or learn something from it, Wang Yang can afford to pay. They have the confidence!

"Do you know what to do now?" Qi Zhan also sat down. He chose the best piece of meat from a large piece of steak, cut it off and tasted it slowly, then asked Qi Mei while shaking his red wine glass.

"Thank you, Dad. I've got it!"

Looking at his daughter's confident smile, Qi Zhan was full of pride, and he was full of confidence in Wang Yang's future.

"But my steak may not taste good, but it's not something everyone can afford!" Qi Mei stared at the plate of cold steak, thinking in her heart that it would be a loss, but don't think about it.
