Chapter 427 The webcast begins
Zhang Hehuan said: "The sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story" will definitely be filmed, but there is no rush. Our company's focus this year is to establish the animation department, and I plan to set up a studio for you here."
Xu Ke said: "I will not receive any reward without merit." Although he knew that Zhang Hehuan had good intentions, he also knew that there was no pie falling from the sky.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Although the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" did not meet your expectations, the special effects inside can be regarded as the benchmark for domestic movies."
Xu Ke was also satisfied with the special effects of this movie. He now understands the reason why the box office of this movie did not meet expectations. In this movie, he wanted to present too many things and too many people to take care of. If so many factors are stuffed into two hours, the audience will inevitably feel tired, and people's visual fatigue is inevitable.
In fact, after watching "My Savage Girlfriend", he was very amazing. The pleasure of watching the movie is not proportional to the special effects.
Zhang Hehuan proposed to set up a studio for him, obviously to cooperate in depth with him...
Xu Ke admires Zhang Hehuan very much, but his most important project at hand is "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". After preparing for so long, he didn't want to give up halfway.
Xu Ke told the truth: "Before completing "Taking Tiger Mountain with Strategy", I'm afraid I won't be able to take too much time to take care of your affairs."
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "You can do your own thing with peace of mind. What you need in the studio? You only need to make a list and I will arrange the specific things."
Xu Ke nodded: "Okay."
The two shook hands, and saw sincerity from Zhang Hehuan's eyes, and Zhang Hehuan's eyes, and Zhang Hehuan saw expectations.
Zhang Hehuan said: "To put it bluntly, if the project "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" cannot start filming according to the original plan, I have multiple IPs on hand, you can choose whatever you want."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "Hehuanzi, you are good at bewitching people's hearts."
"It's not about bewitching people's hearts, it's about sincerely wanting to cooperate with you."
Donggua decided to sign a contract with Xinxingyuan, and he proposed a condition that the company would provide him with convenient conditions to produce an animation movie within two years.
After hearing about his conditions, Zhang Hehuan directly threw two scripts, "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha", and told Donggua that one of these two scripts can be chosen. If you are not satisfied, you can also provide a new script. The day when Donggua decides the script is the time when the project starts.
Li Shanshan's content department has a single building, and she will complete the establishment of the content department within one month. Although there is no public recruitment of partners at present, Zhongtai, who has tasted the sweetness of the book "China on the Bite of the Tongue", has contacted her many times, hoping to continue to cooperate with them to publish.
Li Shanshan's old boss, the times, did not want to give up Zhang Hehuan's money tree. Editor-in-chief Yu Huachuan came to Nanjiang in person to meet Zhang Hehuan. Zhang Hehuan was not interested in this person, and his previous cooperation was not pleasant, so he politely declined because he didn't have time.
Because Zhang Hehuan previously broadcasted "The Legend of Condor Heroes" on Nanjiang Radio, many publishing houses are now focusing on the publication of this book.
Zhang Hehuan was not anxious and had to eat one bite at a time. He had to steadily form a team, carefully choose partners, and not take action easily. Once he took action, he would be the king.
"My Savage Girlfriend" has a box office of 1.36 billion yuan in mainland China. Many people are puzzled by the fact that Xinxingyuan has not chosen to apply for a postponement. The box office of this movie still has the allowance. In the following Spring Festival and Valentine's Day, it is also possible to reap a wave of box office. It is not impossible to exceed 1.4 billion yuan.
The Spring Festival is a time for most people to have fun, but for the entertainment industry, it is the busiest time. New films are released in theaters one after another, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce. "My Savage Girlfriend" and "The Twelve Zodiac Signs" have been released, and the filming left behind is occupied by new blockbusters. Many powerful films in "Journey to the West", "101 Marriage Proposal", "Cloud Map", and "007 Sky-Screen Murder Intention" have been launched into the market.
This Spring Festival, there are animated films such as "Pleasant Goat", "Barabala Little Fairy" and "Locke Kingdom". Although the box office is not comparable to live-action movies, the three movies all exceeded 10 million in the Spring Festival, entering the top ten box offices.
"Journey to the West" directed by Stephen Chow is the best, with a premiere of over 100 million, 300 million in four days, and 400 million in five days, and 400 million in five days.
Everyone suddenly realized that the domestic film market was expanding at an astonishing speed. With the increase of cinemas, the market continued to expand. In the past, it was unimaginable that the movie viewing craze actually extended from Christmas to Valentine's Day. During these fifty days, many blockbusters with box office of over 100 million yuan appeared, and many records in film history were constantly refreshed.
Many people are concerned about whether "Journey to the West" can surpass "My Savage Girlfriend"'s box office of 1.36 billion yuan, and Zhang Hehuan doesn't care about this matter.
The cost of the two is different. The former costs 120 million yuan, which is far inferior to that of his own movie in terms of making money.
On the 214th, when "Journey to the West" created a record of 400 million in five days, "My Savage Girlfriend" was officially launched on the entire network. After agreeing with a platform, the ticket price was adjusted.
Before "My Savage Girlfriend" was broadcast online, "The Twelve Zodiacs" premiered on Aurora Video on New Year's Eve. The on-demand volume on the first day was 5 million. The total clicks have exceeded 10 million, which means that Aurora Video has earned 30 million on-demand fee. The exclusive online broadcast rights they spent 40 million to purchase should be guaranteed.
"My Savage Girlfriend" is different from "The Twelve Zodiacs". It gave up its exclusive broadcasting rights and adopted a model that was divided with major platforms. Therefore, Aurora, Strange, Cool, Feihu... a total of twenty-three video platforms are broadcast at the same time.
There has never been an online movie of this scale before. "My Savage Girlfriend" not only has an unprecedented online broadcast, but also released a big move on February 14, that is, the subscription fee for ordinary members to watch movies on that day is 2 yuan, and the VIP members to watch movies on that day will be 1 yuan, and the original price will be restored the next day.
Zhang Hehuan undoubtedly took the initiative to sacrifice some interests in this matter, and the biggest benefit was the major video platforms. They could harvest a wave of VIP members in this way. Taking Qiyi Video as an example, on February 14, the newly upgraded VIP members 100,000, and the new members reached an astonishing 1.7 million. Other platforms have achieved more or less each.
On February 14, the total on-demand broadcasts exceeded 60 million on-demand broadcasts in the entire network, of which one third of VIP members accounted for. It is roughly estimated that the total online on-demand revenue on-demand broadcasts on that day exceeded 100 million.
Even if this data is included in theaters, it is a shocking single-day box office result. You should know that on Valentine's Day, theater box office champion "Journey to the West" had a box office of only 80 million.
According to the share ratio of the Nova and each company, the share income of the Nova World exceeded 50 million on the first day of the online launch.
The online broadcast data of "My Savage Girlfriend" is jealous. Most people think it is the reason for the Valentine's Day. Aurora, which has the exclusive online broadcast rights of "The Twelve Zodiacs", conducted a special analysis. On February 14, they adjusted the on-demand price of "The Twelve Zodiacs" to two yuan for VIP, and three yuan for ordinary registered users, but the number of VIP on-demand volume on that day was only 200,000. Including the on-demand broadcast of ordinary members, the total income is more than 500,000.
"My Savage Girlfriend" launched that day, the VIP subscription exceeded 4 million times, and the subscription of ordinary members actually reached 8 million, and the total on-demand revenue exceeded 20 million. Although there is a Valentine's Day bonus, the Aurora Video alone can surpass the "Twelve Zodiacs".
Zhang Hehuan's decision to share the entire network this time is indeed a great move, which is a pioneer in online broadcasting of movies, but the most profitable are several major portal video websites, and a slightly smaller platform does not make much profit from it.
2.15 "My Savage Girlfriend" was restored to two yuan, and the total revenue of on-demand broadcasts on the same day was also 80 million.
Guo Kaige, the boss of Youku Video, deeply admires Zhang Hehuan's layout. During this Spring Festival, his brother Guo Kaixuan also officially proposed his resignation. Guo Kaixuan is leaving Youku and going to Xinxingyuan to take charge of the market.
Guo Kaige also tried to keep his younger brother. Putting aside their brotherly relationship, Guo Kaixuan has a strong ability to run the market, and this kid has a good vision, so he discovered Zhang Hehuan.
Guo Kaige said: "Or why you think about it again. This year, your performance is good. "China on the Bite of the Tongue", "Looking for Qin", and "My Savage Girlfriend" have made a lot of money for our company."
Guo Kaixuan said: "The Sound Moves China" also lost a lot. Now I finally got the loss back. You didn't advise me to stop when I saw it. Now is the best time for me to leave, and you can explain it in front of the director."
Guo Kaige said: "Aren't you optimistic about cool development?"
"It should be said that I am more optimistic about the development of the new star field. The management agency of the cool is too large and involves too many relationships. You are the president, and anything I do will involve you."
"You boy don't know whether to avoid being a relative of a wise man? Don't care about other people's opinions. As long as you have the ability and you can make money for the company, they will naturally shut up."
Guo Kaixuan smiled and said nothing.
Guo Kaige sighed and said, "You have made a lot of money in "My Savage Girlfriend"?"
Guo Kaixuan nodded: "It's a pity that there was no investment at the beginning, otherwise there would be more."
Guo Kaige said: "Those who are content are always happy. Go, I won't keep you. Zhang Hehuan has the ability. It is difficult to meet such a partner."
"Thank you brother."
Guo Kaige said: "I really want to cooperate with you. You should understand the way of cooperation. We can evaluate the Xinxing Domain based on the current market conditions and exchange it for part of the equity in the form of asset injection."
Guo Kaixuan shook his head and said, "Zhang Hehuan is not interested."
Guo Kaige said: "Not interested? Don't he want to make the new star field bigger?"
