Chapter 62

"Boss, I heard from friends in the industry in the past two days that Huayi Brothers plans to snipe the first movie launched by our company."

"I heard that they will deliberately let Feng Xiaogang's new film be released at the same time as our company's first film."

Wang Jinhua reported to Lin Yuanhui with a somewhat solemn expression.

She was very clear about the abilities of Feng Xiaogang, the top director of Dragon Kingdom at the moment.

Feng Xiaogang's movies are very popular.

And according to the news she found in the industry.

This time Feng Xiaogang's The movie is a large-scale costume blockbuster. It stars Zhang Ziyi, Wu Yanzu, Ge You, Zou Xun and other big stars from the Dragon Kingdom.

On the other hand, looking at the first movie to be released by Qingtian Entertainment, judging from the current situation , it should be the"Crazy Stone" that Lin Yuan asked her to buy. A small-budget movie without big stars.

It is even the director's first movie.

To compete with Feng Xiaogang's new movie, Wang Jinhua I don't have any confidence in my heart

"Feng Xiaogang’s new movie?"

Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, and a name emerged in his mind.

《Night Banquet".

A period blockbuster in which Feng Xiaogang tries to prove that he can do more than just comedy.

In the original historical time and space, this movie ranked second on the Dragon Kingdom movie box office list that year, with a total box office of 130 million.

But despite this, this film is still not a success. the reason is simple.

Because the investment for this movie is 120 million.

According to the profit line, the box office must be three times the cost to recover the capital.

The movie didn't hit the mark.

Not only that.

The movie's reputation was extremely poor.

It was criticized by countless people as a bad movie.

Of course, more than ten years later, some people began to reverse the verdict of this movie, saying that this movie was not a bad movie, but just too ahead of its time.

In this regard, Lin Yuan said it was nonsense.

In his opinion,"The Night Banquet" is a hodgepodge of foreign films where the form is greater than the content.

"What was our first movie? Lin

Yuan asked Wang Jinhua.

Wang Jinhua immediately replied:

"It's the one"Crazy Stone" you asked me to buy. Ning Hao told me a few days ago that the filming of the film has basically been completed and will soon enter post-production."

"I'm currently asking people to do the publicity plan"

"However, this is a small production after all, and neither the director nor the actors are well-known. If it competes with Feng Xiaogang's new movie, it may not have a good chance of winning."

"How about we suppress this movie first, wait until the"Assembly" film that Feng Xiaolin is responsible for is completed, and make that movie the first movie of our Qingtian Entertainment?"

Wang Jinhua made a suggestion to Lin Yuan.

She weighed it in her mind. Compared with the small-cost comedy"Crazy Stone","Assembly" is a war blockbuster, both in terms of investment scale and creative lineup. A lot.

If you use it to compete with Feng Xiaogang's new film, you have a higher chance of winning.

Although the box office success or failure of a low-cost movie like"Crazy Stone" will have limited impact on Qingtian Entertainment in terms of actual economic benefits.

However, Wang Jinhua considered Unfortunately, if Qingtian Entertainment's first movie officially debuts in the film industry, it will fail at the box office, which will be very bad for the company.

Especially she doesn't want Qingtian Entertainment's new movie to become a stepping stone for Huayi Brothers' new movie.

So The two companies now have an incompatible relationship. If they really lose to Huayi Brothers at the box office, Wang Jinhua can imagine that Huayi Brothers will definitely ridicule Qingtian Entertainment.

Not only will it lose face, but it will also be a blow. Qingtian Entertainment's reputation in the industry.

Wang Jinhua's considerations were very thorough and her approach was very prudent.

However,

Lin Yuan did not intend to accept her suggestion.

He knew the quality of the movie"Crazy Stone".

In the original historical time and space , with extremely limited publicity resources, this movie can earn 30 million box office by relying on word-of-mouth from the audience. In this life, with the support of Qingtian Entertainment, Lin Yuan firmly believes that"Crazy Stone" will achieve greater success. good grade

"Need not"

"As for the movie"Crazy Stone", don't worry about Huayi Brothers and let Ning Hao do the post-production at his own pace. Lin

Yuan said to Wang Jinhua.

After a pause, he added:

"I have great confidence in the movie"Crazy Stone""

"In the promotion of the film, increase investment and make the momentum bigger."

Hearing this, Wang Jinhua hesitated for a moment and then persuaded:

"Boss, this is the company’s first publicly released movie. I think it’s better to be cautious."

"Although Feng Xiaogang is not a good character, he does have some ability in making movies. In fact, Huayi Brothers mainly relies on Feng Xiaogang to support its performance."

"Moreover, the actors he chose this time are all actors with strong box office appeal in the Dragon Kingdom."

"I think……"

Lin Yuan waved his hand and interrupted Wang Jinhua's words. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Don’t think so much,"Crazy Stone" is no problem, this time it will be the Waterloo of Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang"

"Moreover, Mr. Wang has not forgotten that the group also has theater chains."

"The group's theater chain will naturally focus on supporting its own movies. As for Huayi Brothers' movies, the group's theater chains do not welcome them. Lin

Yuan said calmly.

After acquiring Wanda Cinema and renaming it Qingtian Cinema, Lin Yuan instructed the person in charge of Qingtian Cinema to expand aggressively in Longguo.

On the one hand, he acquired a large number of existing cinemas; On the other hand, he is building new theaters everywhere.

To this end, he has invested a lot of money.

And his investment must be fruitful.

So far, although Qingtian Cinema is not the number one among the domestic theaters in Dragon Kingdom, it has It has squeezed into the top three, occupying a large share of the Longguo theater market.

After the film is filmed, it must be screened in theaters to obtain box office revenue.

Whether each film can achieve good box office results, in addition to film quality, publicity In addition to factors such as distribution strategy, another important determinant is the film scheduling rate of the theater chain. If the theater chain does not give enough scheduling slots, it will be useless no matter how good the film is.

Of course, this does not mean that the theater chain will release the film in The party must be in a strong position.

The relationship between the two is actually dynamic.

Doing business is all about making money.

If a film becomes a hit, the theater will beg the film distributor to extend the film copy or key. , in order to increase the movie's screening time in theaters and earn more box office revenue for the theater.

In other words, before the movie is officially released, if you feel that a movie has the potential to be a hit, you will also discuss it with the film distributor, such as Make a film premiere or something.

In short, under normal circumstances, the strength of the relationship between theaters and film distributors is determined by the film's box office performance.

However, there are exceptions.

For example, in this case, Lin Yuan As the boss of Qingtian Cinemas, he had conflicts with Huayi Brothers, so he directly excluded Huayi Brothers' movies from Qingtian Cinemas.

And"Crazy Stone" is a member of Qingtian Cinemas' brother company. Tian Entertainment's works will naturally receive the special attention of Qingtian Cinemas.

In Eagle Country, this approach would be suspected of violating the anti-monopoly rules of film distribution.

Because in Eagle Country, film companies are not allowed to own their own cinemas, or Cinemas are required to exclusively underwrite their own company's films.

In other words, film companies can only be responsible for the production and distribution links, and cannot be involved in the screening process.

But in the Dragon Kingdom, there is a bill.

Therefore, Lin Yuan's approach is completely No problem.

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Wang Jinhuan immediately reacted.

This boss of his own is planning to use capital power to bully Huayi Brothers.

This feeling, let alone Wang Jinhua, is quite refreshing.

The Wang brothers always feel She is the boss and the capital, so she and her artists are not taken seriously. Now the Wang brothers can also experience the feeling of being manipulated by capital. Wang Jinhua feels that it is good.

But.

Despite this,

Wang Jinhua said about"Crazy" She still has doubts about the fact that the movie"The Stone" beat Feng Xiaogang's new movie at the box office.

It's just that Lin Yuan's attitude is so determined that she can no longer raise objections.

As a smart and sensible subordinate, he can do things well. measured

"OK"

"Then I'll go notify Ning Hao."

"After announcing the plan, I will also lead people to formulate it again."

Wang Jinhua said to Lin Yuan.

Afterwards, Wang Jinhua resigned and left.

……

Time flew by.
