Chapter 160 Little Inside Story (1/6)

"Everyone is going to be a director... is it exaggerating?"

"It's no exaggeration. In the past two years, as long as you have a little fame, you can be a director! You don't need to direct the show, someone helps you, as long as you are ruthless and thick-skinned... I know, several companies have asked Tangtang to serve as directors!"

However, Lu Xiaoran changed his tone: "However, it will be difficult to do this again!"

"How to say it?"

"Capital is moving away from the film industry. The film industry has gone from not short of money in the past few years. If there is a project, it will gradually become a shortage of money in the entire industry. If the project cannot be opened or the budget is significantly reduced..."

"Capital distance?"

Lu Xiaoran picked up the cup, took a sip, and said: "No matter which industry, people follow the money, it is an eternal truth. In the past two years, hot money has poured in and raised industry expectations, the status of TV stations has decreased, and Internet videos have continued to lose money... At most, there will be a shortage of money!"

Dou Wentao blinked: "No way..."

"You don't know how excessive they are. They sign Yin-Yang contracts and conduct auctions, completely treat outsiders as Kaizi, stay in five-star hotels, first-class cabins, and investors stay in small hotels... They don't take them seriously at all."

"Would you like to tell me about it?"

"Contracts of size?"

"right!"

"... Let's not talk about who it is. After participating in a movie, I got 60 million in three days, and the contract was 20 million... In layman's terms, the celebrity received a small public pay and also used a negative contract to get a big money. Even if he wanted to sue him, he couldn't sue him without evidence."

"That forty million..."

"Report the account in other ways..."

Other ways...

It is very simple. The most common way is to add "investment". For example, if this person only needs 5 million, but in fact he wants 7 million, how can he give it? That is to say, after signing, you must extend the shooting time, add 1 million, and then extend the shooting time, adding another 1 million.

Or if the script is revised, you have to rush into the sea of ​​fire and roll down from the bottom of the mountain. Anyway, all kinds of tricks and clever names are enough for you to make money.

Or, besides the actor contract, you are working on an artistic director, planning, distribution and so on...

I want to give you money, isn't it easy?

“Where are you doing an auction?”

"For example, when filming movies and TV series, sometimes the amount is a bit scary, and the origin is unknown, and the contract is not easy to sign, so you can join the art market to play together. A listed company offers a labor remuneration of 50 million yuan to a certain star, and the star uses the money to buy an artwork at auction, but this artwork is actually the boss's private property. That is, the 50 million yuan, made a circle, from the company, the stock market, and the shareholder's pocket, and then returned to the boss's own pocket. After a while, there is no need to pay taxes, and the money is not small!"

"I said why so many people like to collect artworks..."

"Yangzi also has an art auction house..."

"He's just earning some commission..."

Ma Jiahui didn't quite understand: "Don't that star doesn't make money?"

Lu Xiaoran smiled: "It is normal for artworks to generate a premium of several times as long as they sell them at a price. They can use this thing worth tens of millions, find someone, go to the bank to pledge the loan, and get back tens of millions! What should the bank do if this star doesn't pay back the money? He can only confiscate artworks. The bad debts of tens of millions of dollars will be the bank!"

"This...is really better than reading for ten years after listening to your words!"

"...You guys watch the broadcast, it's best not to spread this thing..."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid too!"

Lao Lu still wants to stay in the circle...

Moreover, before the superiors made up their minds to rectify the entertainment industry—after rectification, the thriving film industry was destroyed!

The chat was almost done, Dou Wentao wanted to have some exciting things, so he ended up saying: "They all said that there are many unspoken rules in the circle, is it true?"

“…There are quite a lot, and I have encountered it too!”

"You...and others have unspoken rules for you?"

Lu Xiaoran nodded: "I just became a little famous, but it was probably because of "Saving Mr. Wu" who ran for promotion. I met a few investors and got me drunk and then stuffed a half-fruit beauty... I didn't make any mistakes!"

"…You were in your twenties and didn't make any mistakes?"

"This thing is a pit. There will be a second time. If you touch it, you won't be able to wash it off. Some people accept it happily, and some people will give it a half-hearted approach. Anyway, they think it's okay. You are a wrist. It's time for newcomers to curry favor with you! I can't do it, I have a mental cleanliness obsession!"

Dou Wentao was a little disappointed...

I thought you were going to drive, but you suddenly stopped!

Boring!

...

Participating in the "Round Table" is to explain it to the outside world - don't say what the marketing accounts of Ma Xin said!

By the way, two chapters...

By the way, on August 26, "The Maze of Heart" will be released...

Qi Yukun was recruited by Orange, so it is naturally impossible for all amateurs to star in, Sun Honglei + Peng Yuchang + Li Xian, and a few young flowers, Zhang Huiwen, Zhou Dongyu, Tan Zhuo...

"The Maze of Heart" was originally called "The Funeral Coffin"...

A typical suspense film looks very similar to the Coen brothers' movies in terms of genre. In short, the story is a farce caused by a burnt corpse.

Li Xian played a guest appearance, and the money was confiscated. Zhou Dongyu also made a guest appearance, and the money was confiscated...

This drama cost a total of 28 million yuan, and Sun Honglei only received a pay of 2 million yuan...

He likes this script!

The market boom in the past two years has led many first-line actors to make a fortune in the market, and they are not short of money at all. With good scripts, everyone is still willing to take the initiative to reduce their salary...

After the theaters started painting... the box office of 58 million yuan on the first weekend was also considered to have achieved the established goal...

Then, he won 29 million on weekdays, which was an increase of 8% from Sunday...

Well, another high-quality movie has caused a counter-investment increase in box office - Orange ticketing has given a forecast of 300 million yuan in total box office...

The audience... really still has a strong demand for good movies!

...

In the office, Zhong Lifang is giving advice to the country:

"We must tilt resources to online videos!"

"This is the report I have at hand. In the United States, Flix, Amazon, Apple, and Faebook are accelerating their entry into content streaming media. The American cable TV market is also constantly being eroded by streaming media like Flix. Two days ago, Disney released its third-quarter financial report. Its revenue was US$14.548 billion, the largest proportion of which is the online media business, including AB, Disney Channel, Freeform TV, Disney Digital Network, etc. You see, Disney, which has always been famous for its theme parks and animated movies, has the largest source of revenue from online media."

"Although the North American market is different from us, it is twenty years ahead of us!"

“I think…it’s time for us to lay out the streaming!”

Lu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then asked back: "Didn't we make Xigua Video?"

“I mean to tilt resources towards Xigua Video!”

"…Exclusive authorization? The second largest shareholder of our company is Tengxun, and the third largest shareholder is Alibaba Venture Capital..."

Do you think Lu Xiaoran doesn’t want to play Xigua video directly?

Yes, he can form the rights of the major shareholder and chairman. As for those two, at most, they can drive them out of the board of directors!

However, the promotional logic of the film industry has been completely subverted with the penetration of the Internet.

In the past, movies were released mainly by the distribution team to select materials and then release them. Among them, the selection of schedule mainly relies on experience...

However, the emergence of Internet platforms has provided data guarantees for issuance. For example, Internet platforms have massive data, including rating data, audience consumption behavior and consumption preference big data.

These can provide more data-based reference for the film and television entertainment industry.

The market logic has changed!

There is no problem with Orange's content now, but for promotion and distribution, I really have to rely on the Fusion Shuang and Alibaba Serie...

"What should I do?"

"Anyway, we are doing content. Whoever offers the price is given to you...just treat everyone equally!"

Zhang Jin suddenly said, "Boss, the episode of "The Roundtable" you participated in is out..."

“…Is there any problem?”

"It's okay, except for capital staying away from that period..."

"Nothing about playing contracts of all sizes?"

“…I asked them to cut it!”

"Then I understand..."

Lu Xiaoran was a little disappointed...

Look, he obviously asked to cut it out...

Human hearts are really complicated!
