This director only makes bad movies

"Director Zhang, this is the latest box office data of our movie."

The assistant with a slim waist and long legs clicked on the phone.

Zhang Yange looked at today's box office statistics.

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival" has so far grossed 248 million in box office, and the single-day box office has dropped to more than 30 million.

This is normal data for most movies. For general movies, the peak box office is a few days before the movie is released. After this time period passes, the movie box office will decline to a certain extent.

Zhang Yange is already very satisfied with the current box office data.

The cost of "Along the River During Qingming Festival" is about 100 million. Judging from the current data, making money is inevitable. It is just a matter of making more or less.

but.

What's going on with the movie "Along the River on a Sunny Day"? How come it still has a single-day box office of more than 10 million.

Is there something wrong?

This movie was first deceived into going to the movies through fraud. At that time, the box office was only a few million in a single day.

Later, after he exposed it as a scam movie, the box office increased instead of falling, from several million to tens of millions.

Up to now, the single-day box office of "A River on a Qingming Festival" is still over 10 million. It is expected that the box office of this movie will exceed 100 million, and it may even reach 200 million or 300 million.

Why, why can a bad movie have such a high box office?

Zhang Yange couldn't figure it out.

And I heard that the total cost of this movie was only 200,000.

In this wave, the movie "Along the River on a Sunny Day" made at least tens of millions, and possibly even hundreds of millions, with a return rate of hundreds of times.

He worked hard to research information, find actors, shoot seriously, and promote properly. He wasted all his hard work and still only made tens of millions.

Xu Nan, this guy, just casually made a bad movie with a similar name, and earned as much as him, maybe even more than him.

Zhang Yange was sour.

Seeing Xu Nan, a liar, making money was even more uncomfortable than losing money himself.

"Ahem. What is the progress of the case against director Xu Nan for plagiarism? When will the trial be held?"

Zhang Yange suddenly asked.

The assistant was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "We have submitted the materials and the court is still reviewing them."

"Director Zhang, you know that it takes a certain amount of time from prosecution to trial, and there are many procedures to go through."

Zhang Yange frowned slightly: "Urge me, let's talk about the relationship, speed up the process, and try to open the court as soon as possible."

The assistant nodded quickly: "Okay, Director Zhang, I'll rush you right away."

After saying that, the assistant will leave.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Yange stopped his assistant and showed an enigmatic smile.

"By the way, let them set the compensation amount higher."

The assistant understood instantly: "Okay, I will ask them to increase the compensation amount."

Zhang Yange nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Nan, haven't you made a lot of money this time?

But don’t forget, your movie is a plagiarized movie, no matter how much money you make, it will be mine in the end.

Downstairs of the office of Summit Film and Television.

That is, downstairs of the rental house, a car came.

The door of the car opened and an elite man in a suit and tie stepped out.

Jiang Yu looked at his surroundings, then took out his mobile phone and confirmed again that he was not going wrong.

Building 301, C, is where Summit Film and Television Company is located.

I'm used to staying in the high-end CBD, but it's really a bit unaccustomed to suddenly come to a residential building.

But for the sake of business, these can be overcome.

Jiang Yu soon arrived at the location of Summit Film and Television and rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong."

"Ding dong."

"Coming."

A middle-aged man opened the door.

Jiang Yu recognized him. He was a full-time photographer at Summit Film and Television. It was said that he had a good relationship with his boss Xu Nan.

"Mr. Jiang, welcome, please come in."

Liu Yang welcomed Jiang Yu into the room very enthusiastically.

Jiang Yu was not polite and walked directly into the room and found that it was an ordinary rental house with three bedrooms and one living room. Directly opposite the door was a three-seater sofa.

The color of the sofa is a little dark, and the upper edge is covered with dust.

At first glance, this is a rental house rented by ordinary people. Only the photography equipment stacked in the corner proves that it is a film and television company.

Xu Nan walked out of the room and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Xu Nan, the boss of Summit Film and Television Company."

Jiang Yu quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, Mr. Xu."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Jiang Yu got straight to the point.

"Mr. Xu, if you are willing to put "Along the River on a Sunny Day" on our Penguin Video, we are willing to pay a buyout price of eight million."

"Eight million." Xu Nan pondered.

Jiang Yu continued: "Mr. Xu, this price is not low. According to our company's calculations, your movie box office limit is about 180 million, and it is almost impossible to reach 200 million."

"The buyout price of eight million is already very generous."

Xu Nan nodded.

He knew the price Penguin offered was a good one.

For a movie with a box office of over 100 million, the price of online broadcast rights is about 5 million.

Of course, this is just a regular price. The film’s producer, director, actors, and even reputation will all affect the price of the film’s online broadcast rights.

"Along the River on a Sunny Day" is doing well at the box office, but its reputation is limited.

It’s hard to describe in one word.

Penguin Video is willing to offer a buyout price of 8 million, which is indeed very good.

If it weren't for the popularity of this movie, people might not be willing to pay the eight million price.

"Ding dong."

"Ding dong."

Just as Xu Nan was thinking about it, the doorbell rang again.

Liu Yang hurried over to open the door and welcomed a middle-aged man in a suit in.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Jiang Yupi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are here too."

Mr. Li also showed a polite smile: "Mr. Jiang, you are here, so I will definitely come too."

Mr. Li's full name is Li Guan, and he is the manager of Kiwi Video. He also came here to ask for the online broadcast rights of "Along the River on a Qingming Festival".

"Mr. Xu, I don't care what conditions Penguin Video offers, I'll just tell you my conditions."

"The buyout price is eight million, and the share price is one yuan and two per click within six months."

Li Guan directly set out his own conditions.

When purchasing the rights to broadcast movies online, they are all branded, so there is no need to be secretive.

Xu Nan smiled.

Interestingly, the buyout prices of Penguin Video and Kiwi Video are the same.

It seems that although the competition between these video platforms is fierce on the surface, there is still a tacit understanding on certain things.

Seeing Xu Nan's smile, Jiang Yu suddenly felt something was wrong and said quickly.

"We Penguin Video can also provide a sharing model, but we count member clicks, and each member clicks two yuan."

Xu Nan asked the two managers representing the video platform to sit down and served fragrant tea.

Then, he smiled and said: "You two, to be honest, I'm not very satisfied with this price."

Jiang Yu and Li Guan looked at each other, and after some eye contact, Li Guan spoke.

"This price is already very sincere."

Jiang Yu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Xu, your company's movie has no famous stars and is suspected of being a copycat. The price is already the limit."

Xu Nan smiled: "I know, but what if, I am willing to release the movie from theaters in advance."
