Entertainment: God-level director

《After"The Wandering Earth" was completed, Lin Ran returned to the capital the next day.

Then the shots shot during this period are handed over to the special effects company for post-production processing.

After resting at home for a day, Lin Ran went to the company

"Why don't you take two more days of rest? Wang Ziwen asked with a smile

"Once I'm exhausted from work, I can't stay idle. Lin

Ran shook his head and said,"Ziwen,"The Wandering Earth" is scheduled to be released in mid-July next year.

There are still more than 9 months left, we have to start preparations"

"Well,"The Wandering Earth" is the company's most important project at the moment, and there is no room for failure. I will personally catch it."

Wang Ziwen nodded.

"Ziwen, not only must we focus on publicity and distribution, we must also lay out peripheral products in advance. Lin

Ran reminded

"Peripheral products? Wang

Ziwen was stunned for a moment and then said hesitantly:"Ordering peripheral products now?" It's a bit early, what if, I mean what if the movie is a flop?"

"Don't worry,"The Wandering Earth" has a box office of over 2 billion, I'm still confident. Lin

Ran waved his hand and said confidently.

If he had said this before the release of"The Genius" and"Charlotte", Wang Ziwen would not believe it and thought Lin Ran was bragging. Do you think it is so easy to make 2 billion box office?.

You know, the current box office record is only 2.4 billion.

However, two consecutive movies have been successful at the box office, which makes Wang Ziwen convinced of Lin Ran's ability.

In addition, she has personally witnessed the development of"The Wandering Earth". Throughout the finalization process, I am very confident about this movie.

"In Hollywood, movie box office only accounts for 30% of total revenue, and the rest is actually revenue from peripheral products.

This is still an ordinary movie. If there is a hit movie, such as"Star Wars" and"Toy Story", the benefits surrounding the movie are far greater than the box office revenue.

In our country, in the past, due to piracy and other reasons, the revenue from peripheral products was almost zero.

But in recent years, everyone's awareness of genuine products has been significantly strengthened. As long as we launch peripheral products as soon as possible during the movie's release, we will definitely make a lot of money."

Lin Ran said loudly.

The development of peripheral products for domestic movies has been relatively lagging behind. It is often after the movie is released and the box office is sold out that peripheral products are released quickly.

However, by the time the peripheral products are put on the shelves, pirated copies on Taobao are already all over the streets..

As a result, the profits of peripheral products will be greatly reduced. However, whether a movie can be a hit has always been a metaphysical question. No one can guarantee that their movie will be a hit.

Therefore, film and television companies often do not arrange peripheral products in advance. I waited for it to become a big hit after it was released, and then I did it quickly.

"you're right."

Wang Ziwen nodded, paying attention to

"You should also take care of this aspect yourself, focusing on products such as mechanical vehicles and exoskeleton mechas.

In addition to our own toy products, we can also launch co-branded models with other companies, such as clothing brands, stationery brands, etc."

Lin Ran reminded in detail.

Wang Ziwen nodded repeatedly.

After finishing talking about the movie, Wang Ziwen suddenly said:"Lin Ran, have you heard about the gambling agreement?"

"Of course I have heard of it. How come you have the capital to find our company?

Lin Ran asked with great interest.

"Well, not yet a family.

Wang Ziwen smiled and said:"The best condition is Perfect, that is, the Perfect company that makes games, values our company at 5 billion, and is willing to pay 1.5 billion to acquire 30% of the shares.""

"Haha, what a big deal, what are the conditions?"

When Lin Ran heard that Perfect was valued at 5 billion, he was not surprised. Instead, he sneered.

The valuation of 5 billion is indeed impressive, but the money is not easy to get.

"The condition is that in the next three consecutive years, the company's performance must reach a net profit of 400 million, 600 million, or 800 million.

If it cannot be completed, we will pay a 15% premium to repurchase the shares held by Perfect."

Wang Ziwen said,"To be honest, this condition is not too harsh. With your ability, you should be able to achieve it if you work hard."

"Whether it can be achieved or not, I am not interested in a betting agreement. Lin

Ran refused without hesitation:"This is no longer a normal investment, but treating movies as finance."

Ziwen, I will reject all investments with bad purposes like this in the future."

"okay."

Wang Ziwen agreed.

After handling the matter, Lin Ran left the company. Unexpectedly, he received a call from Huang Lei as soon as he got home.

Then, Lin Ran drove to Huang Lei's home.

After arriving, he rang the doorbell.

"Brother Lin Ran is here, please come in."

It was Duoduo who opened the door.

She was less than 10 years old this year, a very cute girl.

Lin Ran smiled, changed his shoes and entered the room.

He saw Huang Lei, Huang Bo and Sun Li in the room..

However, Huang Lei was still wearing an apron and was obviously cooking. He came out when he heard Lin Ran coming.

"Teacher Huang, Sister Li, Brother Bo……"

Lin Ran smiled and greeted the three of them.

"Come on, come on. What fruits can you bring? I can’t even finish what I have at home."

Sun Li complained.

"Haha, it’s my first time to be a guest at your home. It would be rude if I didn’t bring something with me."

It was the first time that Lin Ran came to visit the house. He didn't know what gifts to bring, so in the end he just went to buy some imported fruits.

"Lin Ran, you and Brother Bo are chatting first, I have two more dishes."

After chatting for a few words, Huang Lei said

"Okay, then I’ll trouble Teacher Huang."

After Huang Lei and Sun Li went to the kitchen, only Lin Ran and Huang Bo were left in the living room.

Oh, no, there was also a little adult-like Huang Duoduo.

"Lin Ran, I heard that you spent four to five billion to make a hard science fiction movie. You young people are still brave enough to do it.

Huang Bo sighed:"This book in my hand has been conceived for five years, but I still don't dare to start it.""

"Brother Bo, you have a family and a house, so of course you have a lot of worries.

I'm full by myself���If your family is not hungry, even if you lose money, you will have to start over from scratch. Lin

Ran smiled and said

"Yes, but with your level, you shouldn’t lose money. Huang Bo complimented and handed Lin Ran the script on the coffee table:

"This is my notebook. Please take a look at it for me.

It's best to be polite and point out problems directly. The more problems you find, the better.

To be honest, this is my first time as a director, and I feel really unsure."

"《Rhapsody》？"

Lin Ran picked up the script and took a look at it. He was startled when he saw the words"Rhapsody" written in large letters on the title page.

Isn't it time for"a good show"?

However, after opening the script and reading a few pages, Lin Ran knew that only the names were different, but the content was still the same.
