Royal Beast: A Million Evolutions of Magic Pets

Hearing what Zhang Enshang said, Yan Rui thought that this analysis was a bit far-fetched at first, but after thinking about it a few more times, he found that the possibility was not impossible. After all, Zhang's Film and Television Group occupied a lot of cake in the entertainment industry. People are jealous of them."

So the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this statement was very likely, "If this is really the case... then it's really not a trivial matter..."

"But we don't have any evidence at all. Based on our speculations, Brother Zhang and the others won't believe it."

Zhang Enshang said: "Actually, it is very simple to confirm whether this speculation is true or not. Just see if Wang Chong and Yu Manling will continue to poach Yan Zisheng and the others."

"For an ordinary company, Shen Zhiyin and Su Tong are enough to run it normally. It doesn't need so many people."

"More people tend to cause internal strife, especially since Shen Zhiyin and Yan Zisheng are both high-status figures in the industry. They are used to being equals, and neither one will bow to the other easily."

"If they continue to drag Yan Zisheng in, there will definitely be a problem, and besides Yan Zisheng, they will also continue to drag in other people who have conflicts with us, which is even more serious!"

Yan Rui nodded solemnly. Shen Zhiyin was already difficult to deal with, and Yan Zisheng and others were indeed difficult to deal with, so he had to treat this possibility carefully.

"If it is really a conspiracy against us..." Yan Rui's eyes flashed with coldness, "then we can't give in, let alone wait for death. Even if the Kang family is really behind them, we still have to fight!"

"And the Kang family has no foundation at all in the entertainment industry. Our Zhang Film and Television Group has been rooted in the industry for decades and we are not afraid of them at all."

"There have been many situations in the past where capital and big guys from other circles wanted to reach out to the entertainment industry to stir up troubles, but the entertainment industry does not mean you can become king and dominate only if you have money. The capital in the industry is trying to shake things up. Is it still less?”

"If you want to gain a foothold in the industry, you must have solid and excellent works to speak for yourself. I'm sorry that laymen like them can't produce any excellent works, but we also have to show our works and skills to confront them head-on. On the line, completely suppress their arrogance!"

Although the Kang family is indeed a powerful family in the alliance and has a very strong foundation of power, after all, the Kang family's influence is not in the entertainment industry and their influence is limited.

The film and television industry is a very magical industry. Unlike other industries where you can basically rely on money, the film and television industry depends more on luck, personnel, vision and other factors.

How many big names in capital entered this industry with great courage, but in the end they all became takers and lost all their money.

There is another case where a big entrepreneur relied on his money to buy companies, film libraries, and talents. As a result, the films he made were all bad. Not only did he not make a penny, but he lost everything.

Therefore, although Yan Rui and Zhang Enshang do not want to be enemies of the Kang family, they are not afraid if they really confront them in the entertainment industry.

After all, in the film and television industry, Zhang's Film and Television Group is the real leader. There are too many ways to make the Kang family, a seemingly ferocious but baseless dragon, fall into disgrace in this industry.

What's more, the person they are facing this time is just an illegitimate son of the Kang family, and they may not be able to mobilize much of the Kang family's resources. No matter how you calculate it, their chances of winning are very high!

Therefore, Yan Rui and Zhang Enshang completely gave up their plans for peace talks and began to fight to the end with Wang Chong and Yu Manling's film and television companies.

...

Wang Chong had no idea that the two guys who were suffering from paranoia were inexplicably preparing to continue targeting him and Yu Manling.

At this moment, he happened to be discussing the results of "Breathing Pain" with Yu Manling.

As Yan Rui and Zhang Enshang said, the film and television industry is a very magical industry. It is useless to just throw money at it. Everything must speak for itself through the work.

No matter how popular the two companies are and how attractive they are, it is only superficial. If they fail to produce good works, not only will this company not be able to make Yu Manling famous, but it will also become a bottomless pit that consumes huge amounts of funds.

The success or failure of the work also represents the success or failure of the film and television company. Whether it is unlimited glory and a firm foothold in the entertainment industry in one fell swoop, or it is another murderous case in which capital predators spent money and failed.

All the results are in "Breathing Pain", the company's first work.

All the eyes in the circle are staring closely at Manling Film and Television Company. They are staring at the company's first production.

Of course, Zhang Enshang and Zhang's Film and Television Group are not just watching, they are also secretly making moves to ensure that Manling Film and Television Company's first film will fail and lose money.

Yu Manling declared loudly and loudly, "My movie will definitely be a hit. If you invest in me, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

Wang Chong looked at Yu Manling and asked, "What is your standard for being popular? How much box office is considered popular?"

Yu Manling pouted her mouth, wrinkled her nose slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Let's take a box office of 1 billion. Among the top six movies in this year's Lunar New Year period, the box office was 6.8 billion, 5.6 billion, 4.3 billion, 3.9 billion, and 37.

Billion, 3.1 billion.”

"I don't expect to become a shocking dark horse, become an instant hit, and reach the top box office of more than 6 billion, but it should be comparable to the sixth place, right? We estimate that we won't be able to schedule it in such a good time as the New Year after filming, then

Just deduct it in half, no, calculate it as one-third, and it’s not too much to win a box office of 1 billion, right?”

Wang Chong was a little speechless. He couldn't compare with anything. He even compared it with the best movies. This was too narcissistic. "I think your 1 billion is too much. Let's lower it a little. 80 million is too much."

The box office is considered a hit."

Wang Chong didn't care whether Yu Manling could become an instant hit in her first movie, and said earnestly, "Manling, although I think you are an international superstar. But the international superstar has also developed step by step."

"This is your first movie! I don't think our requirements are too high. A box office of 80 million is enough. Let's take the first step in a down-to-earth manner."

Yu Manling looked at Wang Chong's layman's speech with a look of shock, "You invested 300 million to build the crew, and the direct investment in this movie was nearly 150 million. No, you also paid four times to many people.

The salary and cost increased by nearly 30 million."

"If it's only 80 million at the box office, you're going to lose a lot of money! To get back 180 million, you need at least 300 million at the box office. If you want to double it, you need at least 500 million at the box office. 1 billion is really

It’s not much!”

Wang Chong thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you can make money or not, as long as you are happy. As for the box office, I think we should keep our feet on the ground and work hard to improve first... Hey, what are you doing?

Push me?"

The angry Yu Manling didn't even listen to Wang Chong's words, so she pushed him out of her room and said angrily: "Wang Chong! Stop looking down on others!"

"I will use my own performance to prove that your investment in me is not wrong! 1 billion! This movie will definitely have a box office of more than 1 billion! If it is less than 1 billion, I will give you all my profits !”

Wang Chong looked at Yu Manling helplessly. He just asked her not to put so much pressure and burden on him. Unexpectedly, Yu Manling mistakenly thought that she had underestimated her and kicked him out of the room.

In fact, he had already made preparations to invest in the second movie if the first movie was not a hit.

But looking at Yu Manling's angry look, if she really said this wrongly, she would probably eat her alive.

Well, forget it, she said 1 billion, just 1 billion. See if you can think of a way to help her reach a box office of 1 billion.

However, as a layman, he didn't know how to do it, so he might as well ask his new general Shen Zhiyin to see if the play would work. He always felt that Yu Manling's prediction was a bit unreliable.

It happened that Shen Zhiyin had just finished another film preparation meeting for "Breathing Pain". Taking advantage of the end of the meeting, Wang Chong found Shen Zhiyin and asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think the box office of this movie can be?" "

Hearing Wang Chong speak, Shen Zhiyin raised his head, thought for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, the script is roughly finalized now."

"However, some important actors such as the male lead have not yet been decided, and other crew members are still not in place, such as post-production, subsequent distribution and movie release, etc., due to the ban and removal of Zhang Enshang and Zhang's Film and Television Group Tiezi, I haven’t decided who to collaborate with yet, so I can’t estimate the box office numbers.”

Wang Chong hesitated and asked, "Do you think it can reach a box office of 1 billion?"

Hearing the figure that Wang Chong said, Shen Zhiyin showed a surprised expression on his face, and then shook his head without any hesitation, "It's impossible. A box office of 400 million is a bit too much."

Hearing Shen Zhiyin's words, Wang Chong frowned deeply. He knew Shen Zhiyin's strength. She was very professional. She said that it was impossible for this movie to reach 400 million, so it was estimated that there was a high probability that it would not reach 400 million. One hundred million.

Thinking of this, Wang Chong asked again, "Is there any way to make it reach 1 billion?"

Shen Zhiyin looked at Wang Chong and said decisively, "Yes."

Wang Chong's eyes showed a hint of surprise. If he could make the box office reach 1 billion and make Yu Manling happy, it seemed good. He quickly asked: "What method?"

“Brush the box office!”

"As long as Mr. Wang is willing to pay, then no matter how much the box office is, it can be earned. Whether it is 1 billion or 10 billion, it is just a number."

Wang Chong was a little speechless.

Raising the box office is not only a loss-making business, but also a disgraceful thing. If it is exposed, Yu Manling's reputation will be ruined. If she wants to become an international superstar in the future, it is 100% impossible.

Wang Chong looked at Shen Zhiyin and asked seriously, "Is there no other way?"

Shen Zhiyin looked at Wang Chong, was silent for a while, and asked, "Mr. Wang, did you make a bet with someone?"

Wang Chong recalled Yu Manling who was very cute when she was angry, and nodded, "That's right."

Shen Zhiyin did not answer immediately, but recalled the relevant information about the movie "Breathing Pain" and considered: "The script of this movie is still good. Although it is a low-cost female love theme, it is very in line with the market. Su Tong has a good vision."

"The most outstanding thing is the theme song of the same name composed by Yu Manling. I have listened to it once and it is very nice. Mr. Su postponed the release of this song until the promotion period of the film. It can indeed bring up a lot of topics about the film. and attention.”

"After all, Yu Manling is considered a popular traffic star. She has some traffic and is quite suitable for the role of the heroine. Then we will choose some outstanding and well-known actors to play a few important roles."

"At the same time, the crew members all choose the best ones, choose the right schedule at the expense of big profits, and invest in publicity regardless of cost. It should be possible to get a box office of 600 million yuan."

"But a box office of 1 billion, it really requires a lot of luck to achieve it."

Wang Chong became silent after hearing what Shen Zhiyin said. According to Shen Zhiyin, only by reaching the extreme in all aspects can the box office reach 600 million.

If you want to reach 1 billion, you will need a lot of luck. You will probably have to step on ten tons of shit to achieve that kind of astonishing luck.

Is there any other way to help Yu Manling increase the box office of the movie?

…

Wang Chong thought and left Shen Zhiyin's office.

As soon as he left, Yu Manling ran into Shen Zhiyin's office. Coincidentally, neither of them met.

Yu Manling looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her. She sneaked into Shen Zhiyin's office like a thief.

After Yu Manling ran in, she laughed sheepishly, "Hey... Hello, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Zhiyin raised her head, nodded slightly, and then glanced at Yu Manling expressionlessly. If someone were not familiar with Shen Zhiyin, they would have thought that she was very arrogant and did not take others into consideration.

But in fact, her temperament is just like this, she is unsmiling, and she doesn't like those useless nonsense and greetings.

Yu Manling knew that Shen Zhiyin was a very powerful gold medal producer, so she came here specifically to ask her some questions: "Mr. Shen, can I ask you something?"

"you say."

Yu Manling looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so she asked in a low voice, "How much do you think our movie can earn at the box office?"

Less than five minutes later, someone asked this question again. Shen Zhiyin took a deep look at Yu Manling, and then put aside her answer to Wang Chong, "There is no way to estimate the box office now."

Yu Manling knew that what Shen Zhiyin said was right, but she felt a little unwilling to get the agreement, so she asked again, "Then, what if everything goes according to the normal shooting plan?"

An idea popped into Shen Zhiyin's mind. There were countless beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, but Wang Chongdan liked this girl. It was not without reason. The two of them even asked the same questions.

She paused and said, "If everything is standard configuration, it may only be more than 300 million, and there should be no problem in maintaining capital."

"If you use the best in everything, plus your acting skills explode, the schedule is huge and you have no rivals, and you promote it regardless of cost, etc., the box office may reach about 600 million."

Speaking of this, she added, "However, this is just my inference based on experience. Many are unknown now, and it is almost impossible to infer approximate numbers. After all, you know that sometimes feel-good movies are being pushed to theaters At that time, it might become a dark horse, but there is a high chance that it will become a bad movie that everyone will criticize."

When Yu Manling heard Shen Zhiyin's words, her beautiful eyebrows knitted up. She shot under normal circumstances, and the box office was only 300 million. The biggest contributor was not her, the future superstar, but Wang Chong who casually wrote and created it. That song.

In this case, I had just boasted to Wang Chong, saying that I could get a box office of 1 billion, but I had already lost face and lost Dafa!
