Tiandu, Xu Brothers Films, Chairman's Office.

Xu Zhaorong sat behind the boss's desk, his younger brother and Director Zhang sat on the sofa.

He pondered for a long time, then leaned forward, and said, "Second brother, get me a list of the production staff of "Twenty-Three Days of Broken Relationship"."

He paused, then added, "Buy me another copy of the original novel of this movie."

After hearing what his brother said, Xu Zhaoqing didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly went to the people below to prepare what his brother wanted.

Half an hour later, the list and the original book were sent to the chairman's office.

After handing the information and the original book to his brother, Xu Zhaoqing sat back on the sofa.

Director Zhang looked at him, then asked Xu Zhaorong in a low voice, "Boss Rong, don't be so careful?"

Xu Zhaorong raised his hand slightly, and said solemnly, "Never underestimate the enemy."

"Song Chuang and Yang Rou are not fools. Since they dare to give such a high box office guarantee, there must be a reason."

After speaking, he unpacked the package and started to read the original book of "Twenty-Three Days of Broken Love".

The whole novel is short. A total of only about 100,000 words. Xu Zhaorong watched quickly. In less than an hour, he roughly finished reading it.

After reading it, he frowned, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

After a while, he opened his eyes, without frowning, but picked up the crew list.

This time he looked more seriously, and sometimes he would stop and think for a while.

After reading both documents, Xu Zhaorong's brows couldn't be drawn at all.

At first, when he was flipping through the book, Xu Zhaoqing and Director Zhang were still whispering beside him about other things.

But gradually, seeing Xu Zhaorong's brows getting more and more wrinkled, they didn't dare to speak, but looked at Xu Zhaorong cautiously.

Xu Zhaorong had books and materials on his lap, put one hand under his nose, and gently tapped the fingers of the other hand on the table, as if he was considering a critical moment.

After a while, he frowned and sighed in admiration, "Sure enough, there are plenty of capable people in the entertainment industry."

Hearing Xu Zhaorong's words, Director Zhang and Xu Zhaoqing hurriedly looked over.

Xu Zhaoqing asked his brother cautiously, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Xu Zhaorong patted the book on the table lightly, and said, "This book is very good. It is very suitable for film and television adaptation. Although it is a chick movie, the entry point is very unique and very innovative,"

"In addition to the excellent selection of this movie, I feel that this movie has the potential to be a big hit."

Xu Zhaoqing looked at his brother in surprise.

Xu Zhaorong continued, "If I were to estimate, I think the box office of this movie will not be low. Two to three hundred million is possible. The only X factor is their leading actors and directors."

"That actor's name is Lu Man, right?"

"She seems to be a new generation of actress, and she may not be able to make the feeling of this movie. It may lower the effect of the whole movie."

"Also, I don't understand the choice of the director of this movie."

"but."

"We are guessing blindly, but they have seen the finished film."

"So, since they dare to claim such a high guarantee, it should be a good movie."

Speaking of this, he looked at the two with a smile and said, "It seems that we have met an opponent."

Director Zhang sat on the sofa, raised his head slightly, and asked, "You mean, this movie may have a higher box office than the movie "Eavesdropping 3"?"

Xu Zhaorong nodded, "It's possible."

"Even... Even if it's not as good as "Eavesdropping 3", it won't be that low."

He continued to tap the table lightly with his fingers, and analyzed,

"Also, don't forget."

"The production company and distribution company of this film are their own. Therefore, they can share 60%-65% of the interests of this film."

"Assume that the box office of the final film is 200 million. Their income is 120 million to 130 million. Excluding their production and publicity costs, they can still make a net profit of 60 to 70 million."

"At that time, they will take out the money to replenish the theaters, isn't it okay?"

Seeing Director Zhang and his younger brother looked surprised and puzzled.

Xu Zhaorong shook his head slightly and explained, "You have to understand their purpose of making this movie."

"They are trying to blaze a trail under our blockade."

"The thing to do is to win a good fight and then get a foothold in the circle."

"In this case, whether they make money or not is actually not that important to them. The most important thing for them is to win this crucial battle."

"So even if they don't make money, if they win this battle, they have achieved their goal."

After hearing Xu Zhaorong's words, Director Zhang and Xu Zhaoqing wanted to understand all this.

Xu Zhaoqing asked, "Then what should we do? Continue to keep up? Also negotiate with the theaters to guarantee the bottom line? Squeeze them to death?"

Xu Zhaorong smiled and shook his head, "They don't need to make money. But we want to make money. We can't spend tens of millions of profits to compete with them. It's not worth it."

Xu Zhaoqing said a little unwillingly, "Then, let's admit defeat like this?"

"Admit defeat?" Xu Zhaorong shook his head slightly, "How is that possible."

Xu Zhaoqing was puzzled, "Then"

Xu Zhaorong stood up and came to the window.

His chairman's office is located on the 16th floor of the Xu Brothers Film Building. Looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity of the imperial capital.

He said slowly, "Since they dare to fight like this, as opponents, we must respect them. For example, to create momentum for them."

As he spoke, he yelled, "Zhaoqing."

Xu Zhaoqing hurried forward, "Brother."

Xu Zhaorong said slowly, "You arrange it, let people call out the 600 million box office of Chenlu Pictures, and vigorously publicize it. And say that this is the news from the theater chain, and Chenlu Pictures will contact them directly. We talked about a guarantee of 600 million."

Hearing what his brother said, Xu Zhaoqing said in surprise, "Six hundred million?"

Xu Zhaorong glanced at him sideways, with a little disappointment in his eyes, "Yes. How about it? Really, we will promote as much as they say?"

"Praise and kill, understand?"

"Since you can't hold them down, let's kill them."

"Normally, their first movie took 200 million, and 300 million is already a very good result."

"But let's set a goal for them first: 600 million. When everyone accepts it, if they only have 200 million or 300 million, then they will still lose face in the circle. People think it is self-confidence."

"At that time, it will still be difficult for them to gain a foothold."

After hearing what his brother said, Xu Zhaoqing was still a little puzzled. He asked, "Then why don't we set it higher? For example, 800 million? One billion?"

Xu Zhaorong:

Xu Zhaorong didn't speak, but Director Zhang understood.

He explained from the side, "It should be because, if the setting is too high, Chenlu Pictures and theaters will come out to refute the rumors."

"We advertised 600 million to them, which is just a bit more, but it just hits their psychological bottom line."

"If they don't refute the rumors, they will default to 600 million."

"If you refute the rumors, it is equivalent to self-certification of 500 million guarantees."

"The rumor of 600 million is just a rumor after all, but after they prove themselves to 500 million, it will become a fact. The impact will be even worse."

"So, most of them will not refute the rumors and deal with them coldly."

Xu Zhaorong nodded slightly, and glared at his younger brother with a bit of resentment.

Seeing Director Zhang and his brother said so. Xu Zhaoqing finally stopped asking, and then he hurried out of the office and started to deal with the matter of "praising and killing".

Looking at his back, Xu Zhaorong shook his head slightly.

Why. My brother

Sighing inwardly, Xu Zhaorong looked at Director Zhang and asked calmly, "How is the preparation of Lao Zhang's new play going?"

That play was the one that Lu Man was going to act in before.

Director Zhang said with a smile, "It's not bad, I happen to have some new ideas and I want to chat with you."

"Yes." Xu Zhaorong agreed, "Come on, let's sit down and chat slowly."

With the help of the Xu brothers, it didn't take a few days for the entire entertainment and film and television circles to know that Chenlu Films' first movie "Twenty-Three Days of Broken Love" was shot very well. In order to arrange the film, he directly gave the theater a box office guarantee of up to 600 million!

After learning the news, all the people who had been paying attention to Chenlu Films were stunned.

All the groups, all the crews who knew about it, were discussing about it.

"Have you heard? The company that Lu Man founded by himself has already completed the production of the movie. It will be released next month."

"I've heard, I've heard. It is said that they are full of confidence, thinking that the box office can reach 600 million."

"Haha. I heard that too. Do you think Lu Man has lost his mind? Does she think she has such a strong fan appeal?"

"I don't know. It's probably inflated."

"Have you heard? The movie of Chenlu Films actually gave the theater a guarantee of 600 million yuan."

"Six hundred million!? Is Chenlu Films crazy?"

"I feel crazy, too. It's too much. Supposedly they just made a chick movie."

"Chicken movies? I remember the highest box office was only 130 million, right? Who gave them the confidence?"

"I don't know. It feels like they're going to suffer a lot this time."

The entertainment industry is very small, and these rumors quickly reached the ears of Song Chuang, Yang Rou, Meilijie and Lu Man.

The first three people are okay, after all, they are all people who have seen big storms, but Lu Man is a little restless.

She called the beautiful sister to her villa again, and then held up the group chat on the mobile phone, and said anxiously, "Sister! What should I do? Look, rumors about us are spreading everywhere!"

Miss Meili, who had some knowledge about this matter, coughed and said, "Actually...although they exaggerated a bit, they were right. We did give the theater a guarantee."

When Lu Man heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, "Really? How much?"

Miss Meili said in a low voice, "President Yang said it was 500 million."

"500 million?!" Lu Man's voice trembled.

She looked at Sister Meili and swallowed, "Who gave you the guarantee?"

Miss Meili said helplessly, "What do you think?"

Lu Man: .

She couldn't believe it and said, "Chen Yan?"

Miss Mei nodded.

Lu Man: .

Lu Man felt a little mixed.

Should I call Chen Yan stupid and fufu, or should I call him. I really believe in myself too much.

Lu Man couldn't help but think of the promise she and Chen Yan made at the gate of the villa.

So he has always remembered it in his heart?

But when I said that at the beginning, I didn't want to realize it. It's just a casual statement to express confidence.

I didn't expect it. He was really serious.

For a moment, Lu Man felt a little moved in his heart, and also a little weird

At the same time, Chen Yan was also on the phone with Song Chuang, "600 million? Do you think the other party is killing us?"

Chen Yan frowned.

he feels okay

He remembered that when he watched it last time, [Photo Paper] gave an estimate of 450-560 million box office.

If it can really reach the peak, then it can be regarded as barely passable, and it will not be killed by praise.

Of course, this is definitely not as refreshing as saying five hundred million, just five hundred million!

Thinking of this, Chen Yan opened the drawer and took out the photo paper on which "Twenty-Three Days of Broken Love" was recorded, wanting to make sure that he read the box office forecast correctly that day.

As a result, after seeing it, Chen Yan let out a "huh".

'Why? How did the box office change again? '

‘How did it reach the box office of 490-610 million? '
