Wang Zhi sat paralyzed in the chair, just like "Ge You paralyzed" in a suit.
He is in a strange mood now.
Let's talk about jealousy, I'm really jealous.
But even if it's extremely painful, it's okay.
It’s even a bit of an inexplicable little relief!
He himself felt that his mentality was strange.
But he definitely can't give up until the last moment!
In the new era of the sea, he still wants his own ticket!
Having made up his mind, he raised his head and said decisively: "Immediately contact the distributor and ask if the cinema can increase the proportion of film schedules. And urge them to continue to increase marketing efforts."
The assistant nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it, and then asked: "Director Wang, do you want to tell Director Zhang Hong..."
He wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Zhi understood what he meant.
Should we find the financial backers and intensify our efforts to smear Zhang Hong?
"Okay." Wang Zhi nodded in agreement.
But he added, "Remember, only criticize the movie itself, not their people."
Finding fault with each other's movies is a normal means of competition.
At any rate, we are still playing within the rules of the game.
But skipping this part to discredit the other party is a dirty move.
Wang Zhi didn't bother to do it.
The assistant nodded to express understanding.
"Okay, you go and have a rest first. We'll deal with these things tomorrow."
After the assistant left, Wang Zhi leaned back on his chair and stared at the ceiling in trance.
After a while, he stood up.
For a moment, he felt a golden light appear before his eyes.
Fortunately, it only took a second or two to return to normal.
"It seems that I am really old. I feel dizzy after sitting for a long time."
I moved my shoulders and neck and made a popping sound.
When he felt more alive, he took out his mobile phone, opened the ticket purchase APP, and fixed his eyes on the "Idol Legend".
I bought a nightclub ticket in the early morning.
Wang Zhi closed his phone, put on a sweatshirt and running shoes, and left the office.
"Take a walk and see it again..."
............
"The box office is out!"
Beijing, Lin family villa.
As soon as he got the box office data, Lin Chuan ran to the living room to report to his sister.
There is no way, this is the request of the "devil", if he fails to do it, he may die miserably.
No, he will definitely die miserably.
Today, the four members of the Lin family went to my grandfather's house to celebrate the New Year. After dinner, my parents were dragged by their grandparents to play mahjong, and the brother and sister went home early.
To be precise, Lin Muqing came home and Lin Chuan was assigned by her to get the first day's box office data.
Just got it back now.
Miss Lin, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her legs crossed, took a sip of tea and then took the document leisurely.
["Weary of Victory", first-day box office: 29.9644 million (including premiere box office 8.1451 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 4
"Idol Legend", first-day box office: 60.0577 million (including premiere box office 22.4413 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 1]
Her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Then she seemed to remember something and looked at Wang Zhi's data again.
["Qingcheng Bodyguard", first-day box office: 33.7137 million (including premiere box office 2.1755 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 3]
She felt relieved.
Then she thought of something else, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her green fingers touched the words "Director Zhang Hong" in front of "Idol Legend" on the document.
The finger paused on "Zhang Hong".
"Does this make you more confident? If you can be brave..."
Lin Chuan, who was pouring water next to him, heard his sister muttering to himself and asked in confusion: "What?"
"It's nothing, just go and do whatever you need to do."
Lin Muqing flipped up her hair and stopped talking to Lin Chuan.
"Is that wrong? I was so busy that I didn't even say thank you? Am I just a tool..."
Seeing his sister pick up the phone, Lin Chuan decisively stopped talking.
He suddenly smiled, "I understand!"
After understanding, he planned to go back to the house. When he opened the door of his bedroom, he turned around and blinked, "Come on, I'm keeping an eye on you~"
Lin Muqing: "..."
After sighing slightly, Lin Muqing adjusted his mentality and dialed Zhang Hong's number.
Soon, the call was connected there.
"Hello......"
Hearing the man's voice, Miss Lin subconsciously raised her lips, "What's wrong? I feel weak on the first day of the new year."
"You don't know what I've been through... I lost in mahjong, one person lost to three..."
Miss Lin is in a better mood.
She played with the ends of her hair and asked, "Oh? How much did you lose?"
"Forty-five yuan..."
The eldest lady almost laughed out loud, "That's really a lot..."
How small are they playing?
A dime or two cents?
"Nonsense! It's just gambling! It's just fun with the elders, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless..."
"Pfft..."
"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Hong hurriedly explained, "I'm just depressed after losing continuously all afternoon! I really don't care about the dozens of dollars!"
I really don't care!
"Ha..." Miss Lin didn't want to continue this topic, otherwise, according to her understanding, Zhang Hongba would be very angry.
She glanced at the document in her hand and said, "The first day's box office is out."
There was suddenly silence on the other side of the phone.
Then Lin Muqing only heard the sounds of "hidden bars", "firecrackers" and the like, as well as the sound of playing mahjong.
After a while, Zhang Hong's increasingly tired voice came, "Oh...how is the box office situation..."
Obviously, someone is messing up again.
The person who loses money is definitely Zhang Hong.
So Lin Muqing planned to tell him some good news.
""Weary of Victory" 29.96 million."
"Ah?" A panicked voice came from the other side, "Wait a moment!"
Then the mechanical female voice of "Return to zero, return to zero, return to zero" came from the receiver into Lin Muqing's ears.
"If it's 29.96 million... 45% is 13.63 million! Damn it? You're going to get your money back soon?!"
The two movies combined are 45 million!
Among them, "Yuan Sheng" has 40 million, and "Idol Legend" has 5 million!
And in fact, Zhang Hong himself contributed 40 million, and the 5 million for the filming of "Idol Legend" was given by Wu Dingguo as the "Young Director Support and Filming Fund"!
In other words, if there is a box office of 30 million every day...
No! It only takes less than four days for him to recover the cost!
Then he would earn more than 40% from every movie ticket he sold!
That's all pure profit!
Zhang Hong's mind went blank.
In fact, he would not be like this.
Money is something that can't be earned in full, and he is not the kind of person who is interested in money.
It's just that his goal... requires him to make money, and then money begets money, and finally he succeeds in reaching the position where he is qualified to stand.
He was actually very anxious these past two days, but he just didn't show it.
Otherwise, how could he lose in mahjong all afternoon?
This is a sign of restlessness.
Throwing all the 40 million of his net worth into it was a trivial matter, mainly because he was afraid that his hopes would be dashed.
For him, the most painful thing is not seeing any hope.
Rather, I can see hope, and even touch the threshold, but it is the feeling of dashed hope that I feel like I am blocked from the door and unable to get in.
As the saying goes, "If hope is dashed, it is better not to give hope in the first place."
Seeing how excited he was, Zhang Hao, who was sitting across from him, muttered in a low voice, "It's only over 10 million, is it necessary to be so excited..."
He felt extremely unhappy.
Damn it, why did you let this kid make money?
Looking at the look in his eyes, I am afraid that he will never leave the entertainment industry in this life.
What’s so good about this broken circle?
Actor, director, singer.
It seems very prestigious to talk about it, but compared with big entrepreneurs, everyone knows which status is higher.
Well, actually he is sour.
Why can't this kid do what he likes?
Originally, I wanted my son to be a toolman and inherit the family business, and then he could take his wife and retire in a leisurely way...
However, Zhang Hongzheng was immersed in excitement and did not hear what he said.
Lin Muqing on the other side of the phone interrupted his excitement, "Are you excited now? Isn't it? Aren't you afraid that if Wang Zhi has a higher box office than you, you will lose the bet?"
Zhang Hong's face was full of righteousness, "What kind of bet? What kind of bet? Lin Muqing, I have to warn you, gambling is illegal! You are still young, so you must not embark on the road of crime!"
Miss Lin: "..."
Wasn't it Zhang Hong who said he had a bet with Wang Zhi?
Zhang Hong continued: "And I didn't say anything about the bet at the beginning. Even if there was a bet, I didn't say what the bet was, right? Taking a step back, even if there was a bet, did I admit it? Are there any words?
?You must know that a man’s words are like his farts!”
"Isn't it because what was released...can't be taken back?"
"No, I just said it as fart, I don't care at all."
Lin Muqing laughed again.
Sure enough, chatting with Zhang Hong always made her feel happy.
This guy is obviously a person with a good sense of humor.
"Then do you want to know his box office?"
"I definitely want to!"
After Zhang Hong finished speaking, he quickly added: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to know how uncomfortable he felt after being defeated by me. I'm not retaliating, I'm just venting my anger for Uncle Sun and Uncle Liu."
Lin Muqing teased: "I understand, you, Director Zhang, have a broad mind."
"No, no, no, brother, these are just chest muscles, so you must not be broad-minded." Zhang Hong was very modest.
By visual inspection, it is either 34D or 36D, which must be wider than me.
By the way, Zhang Hong, as a straight man, has no idea which size is bigger, 36C or 34D.
Anyway, in his impression, D must be bigger than C, right?
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhang Hong quickly changed the subject, "So, is his box office higher or lower than mine?"
"Taller than you." Lin Dazhui no longer pretended, "He is several million taller than your "Weird of Victory"."
"oh."
Zhang Hong cannot be said to be disappointed.
After all, it actually has nothing to do with the uncle's box office performance.
All he knows is that he will soon get his money back.
"But..." Lin Changji added, "Your "Idol Legend" has a higher box office than his."
"!!!"
Zhang Hong snapped at the case and said, "What the hell?! How can the first-day box office of 5 million box office exceed 30 million?!"
Zhang Hao, who was sitting across from him, looked at the shaken mahjong table with black lines covering his forehead.
He turned over the card he just picked up - Yaoji.
Damn it! I’m a nine-lotus lantern!
Also, why another 30 million?
How does Lao Lin do things?
You said, "Don't worry about me doing things."
"It's not just 30 million~~" Lin Hei, who has straight legs and long legs, said in a relaxed tone, "It's 60 million~~"
Plop——!
"What’s wrong with you?"
Hearing the movement over there, Miss Lin felt her heart tightening and stood up suddenly.
"It's okay..." Zhang Hong's steady voice came from the other side, "It's just that my legs are weak."
Lin Muqing grinned, not knowing whether to laugh or say something sarcastic.
"Wait a moment, wait for me to take my time." Zhang Hong didn't look at the expressions of the other three at the poker table, who looked like country bumpkins.
He just tremblingly took out his calculator and started calculating.
Forty-five percent of 60 million...that's 27 million!
Twenty-seven million plus 13.63 million is... 40.63 million!
Is this...recovering your money?
Zhang Hong suddenly felt an unreal feeling, and he felt like his vision was dizzy.
There was a buzzing in the ears, and it felt like the world was spinning.
It's like being drunk and walking on the road, and it feels like it changes from a straight line to a diagonal line as you walk.
"Zhang Hong, are you okay?"
"fine."
Zhang Hong couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his eyes, "I just... feel a little unreal."
It paid back in one day!
This is the amount of money that will fall into his hands after deducting all the money given to others!
In other words, the money falls into the company.
But what belongs to the company belongs to him! This is equivalent to investing in the movie with his own money, and of course the money he earns is also his!
It’s no wonder that in the past life, those capitals who made Xiao Xianrou popular had to get involved in the film industry. Even if they knew that these popular stars had poor acting skills, they still wanted to get involved in movies.
Zhang Hong originally thought it was because movie actors had higher status than TV drama actors and variety show actors, but now it seems that capital still pays more attention to financial returns.
However, with such high returns, it is no wonder that film directors and actors have high status.
I think of Zhang Hong, who succeeded in having no rivals in the country within one year of his debut in the TV drama industry.
Not only did it break the upper limit of various ratings, it even won two of the most authoritative awards in the domestic TV drama industry within one year!
What's the result?
"Clouds Fall into the Red Dust" was shot and post-produced for three to four months, and was sold to a video website for RMB 30 million!
As a result, the money was used to film TV series.
In total, it took him more than a year to film the TV series.
He hasn't stopped for more than a year.
"The Red Dust", "Flags of Our Fathers", "Mobile Suit", "Rich Detective"...
He has filmed so many TV series in succession, and these TV series are all classics with explosive word-of-mouth ratings and click-through rates!
Then what?
In total, I only saved 40 million!
Now it only takes one day to shoot a movie...
One day!
No wonder in the previous life, apart from the little fresh meat supported by capital, all kinds of cats and dogs wanted to get a share of the pie.
Those who shoot PPT slides, variety shows and movies, TV series and movies, no wonder!
After sighing with emotion, Zhang Hong suddenly came to his senses.
Doesn’t this mean that starting from tomorrow, for every extra dollar at the box office, I will get 45 cents?
This is a big profit!
He suddenly gained confidence.
This feeling is probably the same as a young man from an ordinary working-class family going on a blind date, because he bought a car and a house on his own without a loan, and the house is a 130-square-meter house in the city, and the car is a BMW three series.
He is the most handsome guy on the blind date market in the village this year!
Ignoring the urging looks from his father and grandparents, Zhang Hong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xiao Qing, after these two movies are released, I want to take a rest. Do you have time to travel with me?
Travel? I want to go to the beach."
"Okay." Lin Muqing's voice seemed to be much gentler, "Would you like to call other people in the company? My family has several resort islands in the Pacific, and we can go there then."
Don't let them go with you!
She also wants two people to be alone together!
It's a pity that while Miss Lin's heart was racing, Zhang Hong's heart was half cold.
What?
Island?
How many seats are there?
Ning Ning Ning is not talking about the Tropico game but in reality?
How much does an island that can be used for vacation cost...
There are still a few...
Zhang Hong suddenly regained his senses, "Well, let's invite everyone to go together then. There will be a lot of people and it will be a holiday for everyone to celebrate their achievements."
Lin Muqing: "..."
She hung up the phone.
This dead wood!
Miss Lindai is in a very unhappy mood right now.
Zhang Hong also silently put down the phone.
Zhang Hong's ambition was temporarily shattered.
But there is still hope for him!
If you succeed once, you can succeed the second time!
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
Zhang Hong’s fighting spirit was ignited again!
Zhang Hong, refreshed, sat back on the mahjong table and said, "Come on! Let's fight until dawn!"
The fight lasted until four o'clock in the morning.
