Chapter 104 Movies are king!

6 month 2 number.

Light studio.

"There is a lot of negative news about the bouquet on the Internet. Many netizens question how an art film can have such a high box office. Director Li, do you have anything to say about this?" Xie Nan said.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised. I originally thought that it would be good as long as I could make back my investment, but I didn't expect the box office performance to be so unexpected. After more than 20 days of release, it actually broke the 10 million mark in a single day. I think it may be the influence of word of mouth on the box office."

"Good word of mouth does have a very good effect on promoting the box office." Xie Nan paused after finishing speaking, "After Bouquet of Flowers was removed from theaters, many netizens who watched the movie questioned on major forums that you did whatever it took to make money. It's too ugly to do so many things with an art film, such as opening a Taobao peripheral store and cutting fans' leeks to gain popularity."

"Is that true?" Li Mingyang chuckled and said, "I have never thought of cutting fans' leeks. My original intention is to give back to fans. All the items in the Taobao store are authorized by Tianxian. Tianxian's photo is mine..."

"Crack!"

Before Li Mingyang finished speaking, the director's voice came from the headset.

The director trotted over and said to Li Mingyang speechlessly, "Director Li, you can't call Liu Yifei a goddess. Don't be subjective. You are the protagonist of our interview!"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! Haha!"

Recording continues.

"Is this true? I never thought of cutting fans' leeks. My original intention was to give back to fans. All the items in the Taobao store are authorized by Liu Yifei. I took Liu Yifei's photo album myself..."

Li Mingyang chuckled and said, "Now that the Taobao store is closed, there will be no new photo albums on the market in the future. If anyone doubts that they have made a loss or that the price is not worth it, they can apply for a return. Each photo album has an anti-counterfeiting code. No matter how many copies you have, I will accept them all."

"So the photo album was taken by Director Li! The photos are so beautiful. Director Li, will you take more photos in the future? I also want to take a set." Xie Nan said with a smile.

"talk later……"

How could a film director take photos of celebrities? That's what photographers do.

But Li Mingyang didn't say anything final, because after the show aired, Jing Tian would definitely let him shoot...

He doesn't want to be slapped in the face.

After more than half an hour, the recording ended.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian came to the lounge and talked about the next arrangements.

The predecessor of Guangguang Media, "Guangguang TV Planning and Research Center", focused on the production and distribution of television entertainment programs.

The most famous of these is "China Entertainment Report", which was later renamed "Entertainment Live" and is known as the "News Broadcast of the Entertainment Industry".

Later, by purchasing or merging small businesses with complementary businesses, it gradually penetrated into large-scale public relations events, award ceremonies and entertainment shows.

Among them, the "Music Billboard Awards Ceremony" was praised by the media as "China's Grammy".

"Jia Hua Li Yin", a large-scale entertainment event brand under Enlight Media, is the number one performing arts event brand in China.

It hosts many domestic professional film award ceremonies including the "Huabiao Awards", "Golden Rooster Awards", and "Hundred Flowers Awards".

It is also the most professional film premiere organizer in China, having hosted many premieres including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "House of Flying Daggers", "Assembly", "The Forbidden Kingdom", "Red Cliff" and other blockbuster films.

The light is very powerful. Among the private film and television companies, only Huayi can stabilize the light.

In 08, in terms of revenue, Guangxian actually had higher revenue, and was far ahead in terms of profit.

But, just like the upper shadow and the middle shadow.

Shanghai Film Group has always had better revenue and higher profits than China Film Group.

China Film Group has been in a loss-making state in the past few years.

But people in the circle never think that Shanghai Film Group is stronger than China Film Group.

Movies are king both in China and abroad.

Light Media only entered the market in 05 and released its first film, City of Pain, in 06.

As early as 98, Huayi found Feng Kuazi and offered him a sky-high annual salary of 400 million yuan to cooperate with him.

Later, Huayi became well-known in the industry thanks to Feng Kuzi's "See You There", which was performed by Feng Kuzi.

Afterwards, Huayi began to gain fame and make a fortune by investing in Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year films every year.

After establishing their first empire with Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year films, Huayi Brothers began their journey of all-round expansion in multiple fields, making full efforts in the fields of film and television, artist management, music records, entertainment marketing, etc., and officially established Huayi Brothers Media Group in 2005.

In addition to Feng Kuzi and Wang Dajun personally producing their works, the rapid rise of Qinglou Brothers is also inseparable from "the country's number one agent" Wang Jinhua.

At its peak, Huayi signed more than one hundred popular first- and second-tier stars from across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong.

These stars contribute an average of more than 1 million yuan in profits to Huayi Brothers each year, and the gross profit margin once reached over 60%.

The powerful combination allowed Huayi Brothers to soar in just a few years, transforming from an advertising company into a leader in the film and television industry.

However, this over-reliance on one person also hides high risks, which means that once the ace is lost, it will have a great impact on the company.

In 2005, with the changes in the artist management market, Wang Jinghua left Huayi Brothers and cut off the source of funds, taking away more than 70 popular stars and switched to Huayi's competitor Tiancheng Entertainment.

This caused great damage to Huayi Brothers, and they were caught in internal and external difficulties.

In order to calm down the negative public opinion, Wang Dajun said arrogantly, "Huayi Brothers can do without anyone!"

There is actually a next sentence to this sentence, which is 'We can't lose Feng Ku Zi.'

In fact, the reason why Wang Jinhua left Huayi, saying that they had different ideas and that they could not work together, was just a lie.

It all comes down to money!

With the rapid development of Huayi Brothers, Wang Jinhua wanted more equity and benefits, while Feng Kuzi felt that what Wang Jinhua and Feng Xiaokuai gave was too little and wanted more money.

Faced with the request from the two mainstays of the company, the two Wangs hesitated.

Feng Kuazi just cursed, patted his butt and left, quitting his job.

Wang Jinhua was very happy at that time. Without Feng Kuazi, Huayi became even more dependent on her, and her goal was achieved.

However, to her surprise, Wang Dajun used shares and money to invite Feng Kuazi back.

Wang Jinhua was furious and left with her artists. In order to avoid having to pay liquidated damages for the artists who had switched jobs with her, she directly gave up all her shares in Huayi.

Switched to Huayi's competitor Tiancheng.

At that time, many people thought that the choices made by the two kings were very stupid.

But later, Feng Kuzi used one movie after another to indirectly prove how correct the choices of Wang Xiaowang and Wang Dawang were. At the same time, it also proved a truth!
That is the importance of film and television companies, movies, and film directors!
From the end of 05 to the end of 06, the country's top three directors competed on the same stage and produced three super-budget films.

In the end, all three of them suffered heavy losses and no one won.

The next year, the two great directors remained silent, while Feng Kuzi made a great comeback with "Assembly", which not only proved that domestic big productions could be profitable, but also won numerous awards and gained both fame and fortune.

In 08, he used If You Are the One, a comedy in the form of Feng's own work, to satisfy his desire to be an art film director. The film was a huge hit at the box office and topped the annual charts.

One movie brought Huayi nearly 100 million yuan in profits.

It has cleared all obstacles to listing, attracted countless capitals to place heavy bets, and its valuation has soared!
Wang Changtian was very envious and no longer interested in variety shows, online dramas or the like.

All he has eyes for now is movies.

"What type of movie are you going to make next?" Wang Changtian asked.

"A youth film!" Li Mingyang asked doubtfully.

"Do you want to make a big production? Zuoshandiao is very satisfied with your attitude towards movies. In order to make up for the loss of the adaptation rights, China Film will invest 10 million next year."

"No need..."

If you invest 10 million, how much money can I make?
"Haha! Don't care about the money from the movie box office. We are planning to go public, and that's the big deal." Wang Changtian said with a smile.

"I heard that Feng Kuzi's Big Earthquake is about to start filming?"

"Not only Earthquake, he will be in two movies next year, the second one is If You Are the One 2, to ensure the bottom line."

"Well, I guess I'll meet Feng Kuzi in the Lunar New Year movie next year."

"Why don't you have confidence?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that there's an 80% chance that we can't win. If Feng Kuazi loses during the Lunar New Year period, Huayi's stock price will plummet!"

"China Film Group is the referee in this matter. You must compete with Feng Kuazi. Whether you win or lose, it will be good for the market."

"Will Feng Kuzi agree?"

To be honest, Feng Kuazi was right not to fire his weapon. If he dared to fire his weapon, Li Mingyang would really confront him and rush forward on his popularity.

The game was very exciting from the beginning, it was like giving someone a pillow when they were sleepy.

"He's been putting up with you for a long time, haha!"

"..."

"Why not go for 30 million this time? As for the stars, I'll give you a list later and you can pick from the list. As for the type of movie, let's change to comedy! You can film a loser man, so comedy should be no problem. As for the script, if you have any ideas, you can communicate with me and I will try my best to help you find it."

"I write it myself."

"Do you have the time?"

"I'm going to film a TV series with Sugar Man during the summer, a variety show before New Year's Day, and I'm going to do Diaosi Nanzi 3 in March. That's about two months to work on the script, which should be enough."

"Why am I so worried..."

"Comedy is not complicated. By the way, can I ask Deng Chao to help me?" Li Mingyang asked.

"This..." Wang Changtian pondered for a moment and asked, "Although he has offended Feng Kuazi and has no future in Huayi, he cannot leave Huayi for a short time. Huayi has a handle on him."

"No way..."

About checking into a hotel with Lin Yueru?
"I'll send someone to ask."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back."

"By the way, what kind of TV series are you going to shoot? You can save a spot for Liu Yan based on the situation. If it doesn't work out, forget it."

"Now that you've said that, it must be possible!" Li Mingyang said with a smile.

After leaving Wang Changtian's office, Li Mingyang was confused.

I don’t know which TV series to shoot.

Is to continue to take advantage of Bi Xinye and shoot the food chain youth campus drama "Go Go Squid!" with a Douban score of 9.1.

Or take other photos...

It would be best if we could finish filming the TV series and use the IP to make a movie.

The film adaptation of Bouquet of Flowers into a TV series is a thankless task.

Anyway, Li Mingyang doesn’t know how to edit…

Li Mingyang walked and thought, it must be in line with both his own interests and Liu Shishi's acting style.

Liu Shishi is the chosen ancient costume person, S,

Modern dramas are downgraded to A.

The acting is poor and it’s downgraded to B.

It is especially easy to be outshined by the second female lead.

Is there a TV series for Embroidered Spring Blade? No...

The best of us? Uh, Tan Songyun is still better.

A Slight Smile is Alluring? Why is Sheng Xiao Silent? You Are My Glory?

It is indeed a good drama, but how to adapt it into a movie?

Forget it, let’s just trick Mimi into filming Far Cry…

Just when Li Mingyang decided to shoot "Go Go Squid!" and "Far Cry".

A large white dog ran past Li Mingyang, and then a little girl chased after it with a smile.

The big white dog stopped next to a couple, and the little girl stood on tiptoe and waved to her father, asking for a hug!
boom!
An animation suddenly flashed through Li Mingyang’s mind!
"Spy Play House"!
I'm familiar with this!
Interesting characters! Family friendly! Rich themes, can be modified and played with!

It’s decided, it’s you!
