Gossip King

"What?!" After a busy day, Jian Xiao Shan went to Gao Leng’s room to report on work, and heard Gao Leng lightly tell her that he had invested in Zhang Dao’s sensitive film, and he almost bounced off the sofa. : "Two hundred million shots of sensitive films? That's a waste of water!"

Jian Xiaoshan immediately put down a bunch of his own materials and looked at Gao Leng: "What does the book look like? Director Zhang always crosses the line when he shoots literary films. After shooting several books, the money is spent and they cannot be online. I see. Look at the book."

"You said it's a trick, why bother to read the book." Gao said with a cold smile. If you know that it is a matter of losing money, then throw it out and don't worry about it. Don't worry about it anymore.

...

Speechless.

"The sensitive film is just to try to get Director Zhang to cooperate with us. It is worth the two hundred million dollars to spend. At the end of the year, if the money is enough, we will pay him." Gao Leng said.

"Cooperation? What else can you cooperate with besides sensitive films?" Jian Xiao singledly took the calculator and pressed it. Don't say, it's a bit of a small shop owner's posture, so I started counting money.

"Taking a gift film is related to politics." Gao Leng took her calculator and threw it aside: "Isn't next year the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China? (Don't tell me that China is not the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China next year. This is an empire, not China. , Any similarity is purely coincidental, thank you), I want Director Zhang to make a gift film."

"Gift film?!" Jian Xiaodan bounced off the sofa again, almost screaming: "There will be many companies making gift films next year!"

It sounds like these two films are not profitable films.

On the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China or the anniversary of the founding of the Party, there will always be film and television companies shooting anti-Japanese war films. Such films are easy to pass at this special juncture and may receive preferential treatment in policy, especially for large-scale battles or national hero films. This type of film is called a gift film. Of course, some are the requirements of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and some are taking advantage of this shareholder's wind to take a shot.

Although it is possible to get preferential treatment in terms of policies, there are too many similar films in the same year, and you may not be given preferential treatment.

No matter how you listen, it is risky.

Just think that the "Wind Sound" was given political preferential treatment. This is indeed a well-made anti-Japanese film. After receiving preferential treatment in the theater scheduling, you will find that when you go to the theater to buy a movie during the online period, you will find " "The Wind" occupies at least half of the screening room. Afterwards, a large number of anti-Japanese films such as "Listen to the Wind" hit. When there are more such films, no matter how inclined the policy is, it is of little use, and there is no advantage in cinema production.

There are only two ways to gain the advantage of cinema production: first, preferential policies; second, high box office. And the second is the usual one. If you pay for the early tickets, if the film is good, the box office will go up when the market heats up. But this second method is expensive.

Jian Xiao was anxious when she singled it out. She took the calculator and calculated it again, and then stretched out to the cold. "Two hundred million sensitive films are already the limit. Next year, our Starlight Group will have to operate green agriculture. The second tranche of venture capital in China was only tens of millions, and there was no money to make gift films."

Gao Leng glanced at the calculator, and saw it read: 3.6. Obviously, the net income this year is about 360 million. Excluding the 200 million yuan for making sensitive films for Director Zhang, only 160 million are left, and it will have to run next year.

With such an algorithm, money is indeed not enough.

"A lot of people make gift films. They are all veterans. So many famous filmmakers will definitely not miss this opportunity. It is unlikely that the radio and television will tilt the policy on us. If we don't tilt, this kind of film The box office is not high."

What Jian Xiao simply said is the truth. The box office of the Anti-Japanese War movies on the big screen is really average, unless it is a particularly outstanding one.

"Because Starlight Group cannot be inclined by policy, then we must look for Director Zhang if we want to make a gift film. We have no group advantage. We always have an advantage in the direction of the director. Director Zhang is our advantage." Gao Leng reached out. Gently pressed the excited Jian Xiaodan on the sofa: "If you want to shoot, you must shoot that can completely crush them. This time our gift film will invite all the top brands in the entertainment industry."

"What?!" Jian Xiaodan bounced again, so that Gao Leng wondered if she had eaten too much popping candy today, like a grasshopper, and he didn't stop, and his eyes hurt because of the shaking.

"You...how much do you plan to invest? One...the first-tier big names are very expensive."

"Anyway, you have to hire at least ten top-tier brands, and you can count them."

Papa papa, the calculator was pressed frantically, but a minute later, he simply watched Gao Lengmu and raised the calculator: "Ten first-tier big names, the cost of hiring them is at least 200 million. Three hundred million."

Nowadays, celebrities are very profitable, especially big names. The first-line big names make 20 to 30 million yuan for a film that lasts a few months. It is a regular price and a friendly price. This is not counting the price of serving these big names throughout the filming period.

"Ten first-tier big names are not enough. You have to ask for all seven or eight. You can count on the price of one billion."

...

This time Jian Xiaodan didn't jump, she stared at Gao Leng blankly.

"If so many celebrities come to support my film, would you say that the government will give this film preferential treatment?" Gao Leng asked, looking at the dazed simple list.

If most celebrities are supporting a film, it is really easy to hype, and it is easy to get tilted in policy.

On the sofa, I understood: "Are you going to gamble again? Take out your entire net worth and take a gamble? But even if you win the bet, the policy is tilted towards you. If you invest so much, you can’t make money. Just make money. Is a reputation worth it?"

It's really expensive to invite so many big stars. In addition, the cost of shooting and the cost of post-propaganda should be included. This is to use the power of the Star Group to make a film, and even if the box office reaches more than one billion, it is only a cost recovery.

To earn a yelling business, make a yelling.

Gao Cooling smiled slyly: "You don't have to worry about money, I have other plans."

...

"President Su, these are a few historical romance films handed over by Director Zhang." The butler handed over a bunch of materials: "These are Director Guo Li and the others."

Su Su picked up the information of Director Zhang, put aside Director Guo and Director Li, and nodded after turning over it for a long time: "These two parts should be pretty good. You can take it for evaluation and give me the report after the evaluation. , Director Zhang’s film must be shot."

"Okay." The butler nodded.

"By the way, what film did Gao Leng work with with Director Zhang?" Su Su continued to look at other materials without looking up, and asked, after spending two or three days in France, Director Zhang went to Gao Leng to find several Second, this is about to return to China, and they should make a deal.

"I heard it's a gift film." The steward handed a notebook: "This time we will also shoot a gift film. Please Long Dao. Long Dao has a hard relationship with the radio and television. He said that the policy will give us preferential treatment. There is no theater schedule. problem."

The starting point of Huantai Group is naturally much higher than that of Gao Leng. When Gao Leng was still worrying about policy preferential treatment, they had already obtained the promise from above.

"I competed with him at the box office. He voted for a literary film and a gift film to compare with me? Isn't it wrong?" Su Su took the notebook in the steward's hand and flipped through it, and walked the steps of Gao Leng. Bad chess means speechlessness.

Long Dao has a hard relationship in the radio and television industry, and he has always been making anti-Japanese war movies in China. Of course, there is a hard relationship to make anti-Japanese war movies, so the policy is better. On the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China next year, there will be a large wave of gift films.

"It's a young head in the business world. It's boring to easily win against him." Su Su put this pile of information aside and stretched out: "Okay, let the team handle the filming. There will be a meeting."
