It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1031 Huge losses... How to deal with it? "Accidental Murder"! Family is the most important...

"At 12 o'clock last night, the final chapter of the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Resident Evil" series officially landed in domestic theaters. On the first day of the film's release, the theater's screening accounted for 42.9%! So far, the midnight box office has exceeded 20 million yuan!"

"On the first day of the release of the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Assassin's Creed", the theater's screening accounted for 24.2%, ranking second in the same period."

"Due to the exhaustion of box office potential, the three Spring Festival movies "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Macao Tycoon 3", and "The Breakup Guru" were officially removed from the shelves today, with a total box office of 1 540 million, 1.17 billion, 924 million. "

"Kung Fu Yoga" is about to enter the key extension stage, and the total box office has exceeded 1.7 billion yuan. "

"Director Zhang Yimou returned to China with a group of domestic creators of "The Great Wall" in a low-key manner. He was in a very low mood and did not accept any media interviews. "

"Ghost in the Shell", "Fast and Furious 8", "The Smurfs: Finding the Secret Village", "Alien Awakening" and many other Hollywood imported blockbusters have officially announced their release dates, occupying the March, April, May, and June schedules respectively. Chinese-language films are wailing..."

China Film.

La Peikang had a bitter smile and unwillingness on his face, and at the same time, he felt deeply powerless.

In theory, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" could be higher, and at least it could reach 1.6 billion or even 1.7 billion!

But with the entry of Hollywood imported blockbusters one after another, the scheduling of this movie has been suppressed again and again...

Until now, the movie has not even finished its release period, and it is completely finished.

Therefore, he needs to take some responsibility for this.

Some people in the company are actually very dissatisfied with him, but because his immediate boss Zhang Hong suddenly took another step up, those voices in the company suddenly stopped.

After all, many people know that he was promoted by Zhang Hong, and he can be regarded as a "family member".

But only he knows that the leader actually has a lot of complaints about him.

But he has nowhere to complain about this pain, so he can only swallow it hard.

However, the internal voices are gone for the time being, but the voices in the industry cannot be contained or controlled at all!

"Haha, aren't there a lot of people in the circle scolding and laughing at me now?"

As soon as he said this, the secretary who was standing quietly beside him was stunned.

He really didn't know how to answer the leader's "knowingly asking" behavior.

To be honest, isn't that giving the leader face?

But if you tell lies and flatter, isn't that fooling the leader?

Fortunately, La Peikang was not yet a "psychopath". After just a few seconds, he changed the subject: "I saw a news report saying that Zhang Yimou and his team are back? What is the overseas box office of "The Great Wall" now?"

The secretary's mouth twitched, and he answered with a stiff upper lip: "After one week of release, the total box office was 26.753 million US dollars, and the daily box office was only 1.085 million US dollars."

"26.753 million US dollars? 176 million RMB?"

"Yeah, that's about it."

"Did Legendary Pictures send any new emails?"

"Yes." The secretary paused and said tentatively: "Mr. La, how about you wait until you feel better before reading this email?"

"Haha." La Peikang laughed at himself: "It has come to this point, do you think it is necessary? Tell me, how much did you lose in total? Even "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" ”

“Okay.”

The secretary opened the file in his hand and reported in a gentle and tactful tone: “There is already an accurate figure for “Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back”.

According to the current domestic box office situation, we only got 18.52 million yuan. Maybe there will be some revenue after the film copyright is sold, but it will definitely not exceed 30 million in the end.

As for “The Great Wall”, according to Legendary Pictures’ calculations, the total box office loss is about 80 to 90 million US dollars, and maybe it can be reduced to 70 million US dollars after the copyright is sold.

As for the loss of our China Film, it is about 180 to 200 million yuan, while LeTV Pictures’ net loss is 100 to 150 million yuan...”

As soon as this number came out, La Peikang’s waist, which was originally upright, bent instantly.

“Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back” only made less than 30 million yuan, and “The Great Wall” lost 200 million yuan. This damn thing can’t even break even!

Even if the box office profit share of "Operation Red Sea" is included, it still cannot make up for this gap!

How can I report this to my boss?

2017 has just begun, and China Film has suffered such a loss. Isn't this showing his incompetence?

"Boss La..." The secretary looked over with concern, fearing that the boss would get angry and something bad would happen.

"I'm fine, you go ahead and do your work. Remember to follow up on the preparations for "The Mermaid 2" and "Shanghai Fortress". Tell me if there is anything."

La Peikang made arrangements with all his strength and sent the secretary away directly.

He had to go to the lounge to lie down for a while. His heart was beating too fast now, and he felt that he was about to collapse!

~

At the same time, LeTV Pictures on the other side was also in a gloomy mood.

The failure of the "Great Wall" project brought a terrible chain reaction to LeTV Pictures!

The company was already on the verge of collapse, and now there is such a huge loss, which is completely adding insult to injury!

"Mr. Zhang, the group said that we have to deal with the deficit ourselves. The group has no liquidity for us to call. The previous funds for "Shadow" are the last funds that the group can remit..."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao sighed, his face full of helplessness.

He really didn't expect that a project like "The Great Wall" would fail so badly.

At the same time, he never thought that LeTV would reach the end of its road in less than three years!

Back then, LeTV had a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan!

But what about now?

Looking around, the stock price has been falling again and again, and it seems that it is powerless to turn the tide.

And according to what he has learned, the investigation of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is almost over. If nothing unexpected happens, "delisting and suspension" may be the final result of LeTV.com.

Because his boss had already messed up the accounts, and even his boss's backstage was powerless to save the bad accounts!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao sighed again and waved his hand weakly to the secretary: "Okay, I know, you go on, remember to keep the news confidential, don't tell anyone..."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

The secretary responded, turned around and left quickly.

The company currently only has the "Shadow" project. If the box office of this movie can be a big hit, there may be a glimmer of hope.

But if this movie also fails, then these non-management employees may have to find another way out.

But now there is a good thing that LeTV Pictures is still paying wages, and social security and insurance are not interrupted. This is why the company can still continue to operate.

As for the problems on the group side, they are not the "cows and horses" who can get involved!

At the same time, Feiyue Film and Television.

In the general manager's office, looking at Lu Yang standing in front of him and the script in his hand, Su Guohai was quite surprised and said: "Director Lu? Are you sure you want to do this project?"

"Yes, I am sure. I am quite interested in this story."

Lu Yang nodded heavily, his expression and demeanor were quite serious and solemn.

Since the filming of "Sicario", he has been resting for almost a year. It is time to move, otherwise this body will really rust.

It is a coincidence that when he went to check the company's script library some time ago, he just took a fancy to this script.

After taking a look at the outline of the script and going back to check a lot of information and the original film, he became more determined to shoot this story.

Afterwards, after finding out that other directors in the company had no idea of ​​contacting this script, he directly wrote an application report.

At the same time, as soon as he received the application report, Su Guohai invited him to the office.

If it were any other project, the two would not have had this conversation today, and there was no need to send the application report to Su Guohai, as the managers below would have the authority to review and approve it.

But the key issue is that this project is quite complicated.

Because this project is not an original script, but an adaptation of the Indian movie "A Manslaughter", which tells the story of Li Weijie, a small businessman who has worked hard in Thailand for many years, trying to clear himself and his family of the suspicion of accidentally killing the son of a local senior official by hiding the body and forging an alibi with the help of movie montage.

Although the film is set in Thailand, because the word "senior official" appears in the plot, it is very likely that sensitive plots will be involved in the review.

For example, there are plots such as police abuse of power in the plot, which is taboo in film and television dramas.

If no one "guarantees", it is still unknown whether the script can be approved.

Therefore, when Chen Fei put this script into the library, he specifically told Su Guohai that if a director in the company is very interested in this project, he should greet him in advance.

"Director Lu, how about this? You leave this script and project book with me first. I'll call Director Chen tonight to ask for instructions, and then we'll discuss how to proceed with this project. Do you think this is okay?"

"Well, okay, no problem, contact me directly if there is any situation."

Lu Yang nodded, put down the project book and turned to leave.

But he did not leave the company, but went to the post-production department to see how far Wang Baoqiang had done in the post-production of "Lost in Hong Kong".

He personally likes the "Lost in Hong Kong" series of movies, and now he has a chance to see it, of course he doesn't want to miss it.

...

On a new day, Chen Fei got up very punctually at 6:30.

When he finished washing, changed his clothes and went out, the driver had already warmed up the car and was waiting for him.

After getting in the car, he shouted "go", took out his mobile phone and started to eat melons.

"Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" was removed from the shelves, "The Great Wall" had a dismal box office, and China Film announced the release date of many Hollywood movies...

The original text can be found in Liu # 9 @shu/ba!

He read the entertainment news one by one, and as expected, he soon saw a lot of comments criticizing La Peikang.

"Not good enough to accomplish anything, but good enough to cause trouble!"

"As the helmsman of a state-owned enterprise in the Chinese film industry, the projects after taking office have been losing money year after year. How can you continue to sit in this position?"

"If it were me, I would have resigned by now to avoid further embarrassment."

"Zuoshan Diao is really Zuoshan Diao! I miss him so much. When he was around, it was not as chaotic as it is now?"

"The Hunt, Monster Hunt 2, Shanghai Fortress... If these projects lose money again, then China Film will probably fall from the altar, right?"

"..."

While flipping through many popular entertainment information, Chen Fei also paid attention to some entertainment news that was suppressed in the corners.

"The God of Cookery" was released for 15 days and was removed from the shelves with a box office of 93.65 million. Nicholas Tse was accused of "betraying his godfather."

"'The Princess of Beijing Circle' Xu Jinlei posted a new Weibo, saying that she will participate in the production of the youth, fantasy, and love-themed web drama "My Classmate is 200 Million Years Old."

"After the reputation of "The King's Woman" collapsed, Huace Film and Television once again announced a new project "Entrepreneurial Era" and said that it will officially start casting next month..."

"The classical mythology drama "Ancient Love Songs", produced by Huace Film and Television and Juku Communication, starring Huang Xiaoming, Song Qian, Sheng Yilun, Zhang Li, Lin Shijie and others, will premiere on Dragon TV on June 12 and will be broadcast on Tencent Video."

"Bona's Series B financing will start next month..."

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

The sudden vibration of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's "eating melons" behavior.

After taking a look at the caller ID message on the screen, he dialed the answer button: "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai started to report directly on the relevant situation of the "Manslaughter" project and some of Lu Yang's personal thoughts.

A few minutes later, Chen Fei was a little surprised and said: "Hey? Is the sun rising from the west? Didn't this guy say he was going to travel around the world? Why is he suddenly starting a new project? And he also took a fancy to "Manslaughter"? "

On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai smiled and said: "As far as I know, Director Lu seemed to have traveled to Thailand before. Maybe he had some resonance with this project?"

"Haha, okay, since he wants to try this project, let him do it. Just take the script to the Film Bureau for review. I will say hello to Han Sanping."

It's great to have "own people" on the review side. It only takes one phone call. As long as there are no major violations in the script, it can be easily approved.

This is much easier than dealing with those old men at the beginning!

"Okay, I'll make arrangements tomorrow and notify Director Lu."

"Yeah, I'm on the set, I'll hang up first."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei pushed the door and got out of the car, walking straight into the studio.

A new day of filming for "Avengers 3" officially started.

At the same time, in a confinement center in San Bernardino County, Los Angeles, Yang Ying was holding her baby and making a video call with Huang Xiaoming.

The leader wanted to see the baby at this time, but Yang Ying deliberately turned the camera to the other side.

"Baby! Just let me see the little sponge..."

As a new father, Huang Xiaoming has a strong affection for his child. If he hadn't been away from work, he would definitely fly directly to Los Angeles to accompany his wife and children.

"Want to see the baby? Hey, I won't let you see it. You haven't done what you promised me!"

At this time, Yang Ying can be said to have fully demonstrated the phrase "a mother's status depends on her son", and she has a firm grasp on Huang Xiaoming.

"Who said I couldn't do it? I've already done it for you."

Huang Xiaoming quickly picked up the script on the table and pointed it at the camera so that Yang Ying could see it more clearly.

When Yang Ying saw the words "Entrepreneurial Era" on the cover of the script, her eyes lit up!

"Did Huace agree?"

"Yes, yes." Huang Xiaoming nodded and added, "But, when you return to China, you have to study your acting skills. "The Lonely Queen" has a particularly negative impact on you..."

Yang Ying didn't like to hear such slightly admonishing words.

So, she pointed the camera directly at the little sponge in her arms.

The next second, Huang Xiaoming on the other end of the video call stopped talking and said softly, "Oh, look at him, he's sleeping so soundly."

"I can only show you for three minutes! My waist is sore, I'm going to take a nap with him later."

"Yeah, okay, okay, go and rest quickly, don't worry about the domestic side, I will arrange everything for you, to ensure that there will be no problems with your postpartum comeback drama..."

"Thank you, husband, I love you!"

"Haha, I love you too."

The burden of fatherly love and family all fell on Huang Xiaoming at this moment. It is no exaggeration to say that for his wife and children, he can even give everything!

As for the scolding from netizens and fans outside, how could it be more important than family?

…

…

“Grandpa, you have to drive this bus steadily! There are students on the bus, let’s drive as slowly as possible, we will adjust the speed later.”

At the shooting site of Avengers 3, Chen Fei gave Stan Lee many instructions, fearing that the old man would accidentally overturn the bus.

"Fei, don't worry. Although I'm 95 years old this year, I'm still very clear-headed, and my driver's license hasn't expired. I guarantee there won't be any problems."

The old man adjusted the sunglasses on his nose and patted his chest.

As a frequent guest in Marvel movies, he has long been accustomed to showing himself in front of the camera, and has never failed.

Isn't it just driving a bus?

Now even if you give him a plane, he can study it and make it take off!

"Ok, then I'll leave it to you."

Fai Chen returned to the monitor and shouted to all the crew members: "Everyone get ready, start shooting in five minutes!"

Time passed quickly, and when the sound of the board fell, the school bus carrying "Spider-Man" drove straight along the road.

When the students in the school bus were surprised by the arrival of the alien army, Mr. Stan Lee turned around and complained while steering: "Isn't this the first time I've seen aliens?"
