The human heart is like the sea, and the secrets are as deep as the deep. Everyone is just a lonely traveler in the vast sea of people, struggling desperately in the endless sea of suffering. In other words, how many people can ride the wind and waves?
Movie tycoons like Wang Zhongjun are quite powerful in China, but against the New Film Alliance, this feels a bit inadequate.
If the New Film Alliance introduces a blockbuster movie and sets a schedule, it can break many people's dreams.
At this time, Ye Ming frowned, then relaxed, and said with some calm comfort: "It is true that the person named Liu did something unkind, but Director Feng still has the appeal in the film market. In fact, you Don’t worry so much, everything depends on the audience. The audience likes to watch, so all reactionaries are paper tigers. Why are you worried about this?”
Wang Zhongjun relaxed his shoulders helplessly and said: "I know the box office appeal of Director Feng and Ge You, plus the great beauty Guan Zhilin, supposedly this matter is not a big deal, but you don't want to think about it, Wu Tamamori's movie was such a big cast.
The cost of a big Hollywood production is 120 million US dollars. Just talking about other people's production costs, we don't even dare to expect that high a box office. Do you think the Chinese audience will go to see a Hollywood blockbuster, or come to see our New Year celebrations? Film.
At least now, it seems that all theaters, including New Film Alliance, have heard that they will reduce the number of our shows. This is absolutely certain. Moreover, one of our investors has decided to withdraw his investment. Now we are facing What we have encountered is a publicity bottleneck. Our Huayi brothers have also invested in other films. Therefore, now that some investors have withdrawn their investment, it will be difficult for us to continue our publicity.
If this is not publicity, in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, what good box office do we have? "
This is indeed a problem. Now is no longer the time to be brave in the alley. For the sake of publicity, Wang Zhongjun has used favors to find Ye Ming to promote on the website.
This is about to be released, and the later stage promotions may actually be cancelled. This has to be said to be a very big irony. For example, [Party A and Party B], this first Lunar New Year film, is indeed of high quality and caters to the tastes of the people. However, it is also a place where Feng Xiaogang and other crew members go around, and it is very important to meet the audience. Relationship.
If [big names] don't hold a dozen or so meet-and-greet events this time and bring them to almost all large and medium-sized cities across the country, it will have a great impact on the box office.
Feng Xiaogang also frowned and said: "Compared with [Wind Talker], our biggest advantage is that our main creative staff will attend the meeting. If Wu Yusen's [Wind Talker] is released, then Nicolas Cage If big Hollywood stars can appear at the premiere, it will be considered a pretty good achievement. Such an event is destined to give us an advantage.
But if we don't run on the field, it will be difficult to say, and this only advantage will be lost. That guy Dong Ping is too unkind. If he withdraws his capital at this critical time, isn't he doing the right thing for us? "
Movie investment involves high-risk projects. Even Feng Xiaogang's movies don't mean that every one of them will make money. For example, the last one [sigh] lost money.
Therefore, there is generally an unspoken rule in the industry that when it comes to investment, it is better to attract more than two companies. Unless it is a small-budget movie with a budget of two to three million, a big company like Huayi Brothers can take the money themselves. Got off.
But for Feng Xiaogang's movie, let alone other things, it's hard to say whether it can be done with two to three million for Guan Zhilin, just to hire a star.
Therefore, Feng Xiaogang's movie is a big investment. Of course, the Huayi brothers need to find someone to share their risks.
And with the signatures of Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, there will still be many investors who will take a fancy to this crew.
Therefore, it was no problem for the Huayi brothers to find investment, but at the critical moment, one of the investors, Dong Ping, withdrew his capital.
At this time, it can be said that Wang Zhongjun was caught off guard. At this moment, he thought about it and said: "I am not surprised at all now. [Wind Whisperer] was introduced. Do you know who the introducer is? That is Dong Ping. This time Dong Ping also used a lot of connections. , it took a lot of investment to do it, and all his money was invested in the blockbuster film "Windtalker", so naturally he didn't have any money to give us."
Ge You looked at Ye Ming and said, "Yi Zi, how about you take over the investment in this movie? You have to find people to invest anyway. Do you also have your own company? This is just right."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang felt relaxed for a while. Uncle Ge was still reliable at the critical moment. If Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang were to talk about this matter, it would be a bit difficult to talk about it. At least they might Can't save face.
They had already approached Ye Ming for online promotion, and Ye Ming was very polite and gave him some help. Therefore, if they approached Ye Ming again at this time, they would owe Ye Ming even more favors.
The same is true in the entertainment industry. Favors must be repaid, otherwise no one will take you to play. When Ge You said that, it was easier. It just depends on whether Ye Ming is willing to take over this stall.
To be honest, even Ge You himself regretted it after saying this.
The opponent he faced was a Hollywood blockbuster, "Windtalker" with a production budget of 120 million US dollars, a work by Yusen Wu and starring Nicolas Cage. No matter who it was, he would hesitate when facing such a powerful lineup.
It can be said that it seems that this is a game that is bound to be lost. There is no possibility of victory for Wang Zhongjun's side.
But unexpectedly, Ye Ming nodded and said, "There's no problem with that. I won't do anything else this year anyway. For Mr. Wang's specific matters, you can ask someone to come to our company to discuss it. Once the negotiation is completed, the money will be paid this afternoon." The account can be received.
Ye Ming's Huihuang.com has now begun to make a profit. For most Internet companies that are still struggling with food and clothing, Ye Ming has also used strong strength to support the future of Huihuang.com. Many old movies , old TV series, can all be found on Huihuang.com. Ye Ming bought out the online copyrights of these movies at a bargain price. It is a permanent buyout.
Huihuang.com is not short of money now. Therefore, Wang Zhongjun is quite confident in Ye Ming's funds. He waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? I'll ask someone to bring the contract. Once everyone signs it, it's over. Let's Don’t play so many imaginary things in between.”
Wang Zhongjun was very anxious at this time, so he directly called someone to send the contract over. Ye Ming looked at it and found that there were no major problems, so he signed it and called Sister Fang. The nine million investment was very It will arrive soon.
This is easy. After all, if you have money, you won’t be passive in publicity.
In fact, it's like on-site promotion. This requires money. When you go to every city, you must build relationships and let people from the theater chain take care of your movies. This also requires money, and this is an unspoken rule. It won't work if you don't give it. Why? There are cases where some movies steal the box office, and that’s because others have given money and you haven’t given it.
Wang Zhongjun is very clear about this. He gives money and does not ask theaters to help him steal the box office. As long as the box office of his own movie is not stolen, it is already a pretty good thing. With these expenses at the bottom of nine million, everything is no longer a problem.
Nowadays, it is normal for a movie to have one to two million for promotion. For a blockbuster like Feng Xiaogang, it is normal to have nine million. Who knows if other accidents will happen during the promotion.
As expected, New Film Alliance and Poly Huayi are very straightforward in doing things. After announcing the release of the Hollywood blockbuster "Wind Talker", the publicity was overwhelming.
This Wang Zhongjun is even more ruthless, throwing money, TV, newspapers, subway stations, etc., all over the place, there are big-name propaganda posters.
At this time, Chairman Liu was sitting in silence in the office, and in front of him were two people, one was Wu Yusen, the director of "Wind Talkers", and the other was Dong Ping, the boss of Poly Huayi. These three people are the biggest driving forces behind [Windtalker].
Chairman Liu looked at the report and said: "Look at this situation, in three days, Huayi Brothers spent at least three million on publicity. This is still a conservative estimate.
Didn't Mr. Dong say that Huayi Brothers no longer have much liquidity? This doesn't seem normal? "
Dong Ping is also a very experienced investor. Therefore, in such a situation, he thought about it and said: "I am very familiar with the financial situation of Huayi Brothers. This year they have made a lot of investments in other areas." , after losing money in the previous movie [A Sigh], Wang Zhongjun increased his investment in other areas.
Otherwise, he would not seek investment from me for [big names]. After I withdrew my capital, Huayi Brothers must have found other investors, otherwise they wouldn’t have so much liquidity. The only one who dared to take over at this critical moment was the lunatic Ye Ming.
Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who has the courage to invest in a Hollywood blockbuster. Moreover, our [Wind Talker] doesn’t have much room for publicity on the Internet. Huihuang.com doesn’t negotiate the price with us at all. Don’t you see what’s going on? "
As soon as these words came out, Chairman Liu and Wu Yusen were immediately silenced. Yes, the promotion of big names is no less than [Wind Talker], and this is still physical promotion.
Others, let alone the Internet. This is Ye Ming's base camp. Since Ye Ming has made an investment, he will naturally not be stingy in promoting his movie.
If Ye Ming hadn't taken over this investment, this result would definitely not have been achieved. (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
