Chapter 201: Sniping at the Huayi Box Office(1/2)
Shoot the same movie and release it at the same time?
Yang Siwei was stunned. Yuan Hua was having a fight with Huayi.
In the same schedule, there are only so many screenings. Some people scheduling high, some people scheduling low, and the final result is either you die or I live.
There is always one side that will suffer a loss.
So some small-cost, small-produced movies will avoid large-produced movies before they are released.
Every year, the Spring Festival is full of fighting, and all of them are large-scale productions. Sometimes, there are foreign science fiction films at the same time, and ordinary shrimps can't even make a splash when they enter.
Yuan Hua said he wanted to be at the same time as Huayi's movie, which clearly showed that he wanted to snipe the box office!
"Huayi is a large company, and film and television works are broadcast every year. The more concentrated ones are the Spring Festival, May Day, and the National Day, and there are more films during this period."
"Speaking of this, if our Wolf Warrior is released during the Spring Festival, it may be a hit."
The filming of Wolf Warrior has been completed. It is just the beginning to be done later. According to the current progress, it is still time to release during the Spring Festival.
Yuan Hua said without any doubt: "Then let's release during the Spring Festival, and then try to double the publicity funds."
There is an important link before the movie is released, promotion and distribution, which is often called promotion and distribution.
Generally, promotion and distribution are outsourced to other companies, and few film and television companies can take into account both at the same time.
Starting this year, Yuan Hua expanded his publicity department, which is dedicated to film and television, and now he has begun to try to do film and television publicity, and has already been on track. It will soon become a mature department.
In the future, the business of the publicity department will not only be limited to companies, but other film and television companies can also do it.
"Well, that, Brother Hua, I want to say something." Yang Siwei wanted to speak but stopped and hesitated: "I think I'll be responsible for managing artists in the future."
"The company has more and more people and more things. The professional knowledge required must be solid. I am too lazy to be able to do it."
"I could manage it when there were fewer people before, but now I'm a little too busy. I don't understand some more important things at all."
In addition to being an artist director and a publicity director, Yuan Hua is not here, she is also responsible for many things. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the second-in-command.
There were dozens of people in the company before, and the size of the studio was almost the same, so it was not difficult to manage. Now it is not possible, with seventy or eighty people, and there are many industries involved, including film and television publicity, artist management, public relations department, legal department, film and television investment, script creation...
When the company was not established, she was responsible for Yuan Hua's business alone. It was common for her to find resources outside and she rarely sat in the office.
Now every day when I open my eyes, I can’t finish my work until dark. When I go to work and get off work, I never leave my chair. When I get home, I have to work overtime until midnight.
From time to time, I have to pay attention to the updates of Yang Yang, Jing Tian, Li Yifeng, Tan Songyun and others.
It would be fine if she had the ability to complete the work. What scared her was that she didn't understand many things. She was completely a layman. She had been fooled several times and almost caused losses to the company.
After pondering for a few seconds, Yuan Hua nodded: "Yes, your strengths are in public relations and artist management. It is not suitable for you to put all the burden on you. It seems that you have gained a lot of weight."
"You can find a few reliable people these days and let professional things be left to professionals. In the future, you can just promote the artists."
Yang Siwei bowed: "I thank you, I'm finally liberated."
Half a year ago, I went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor said she was sick and needed frequent insulin injections to maintain her health.
Sometimes when she is busy and doesn’t have time to go to the hospital, she calls herself. After a long time, she is familiar with the journey. Whether it is the office or home, she has a few boxes for spare at any time.
I took off the needle and started to attack. Once I was caught by someone below, they were scared and almost reported her.
According to this work intensity, she was afraid that insulin would not be used any day and would be useless sooner or later.
She doesn't want to have the life to make money but not spend it. Her great youth has not yet begun.
"Brother Hua, you should also pay attention to rest. If you don't even see you, you can't use it. This is not possible. If you have nothing to do, go travel more, play around, buy a few luxury cars to play, relax yourself, and don't force yourself too much."
"Let's talk about it in a few years. It's not time yet. Let's leave, you can be busy."
Yuan Hua recalled his life over the years and did not enjoy it much. He spent most of the year on the crew, and his daily life at home was simple, just three meals a day.
Thinking about Charlotte's ending, although it's not so good, sometimes I'm still quite envious.
Sports cars, luxury houses, yachts, villas, young models who are different every day, and their lives are so cool.
It's just a little short-lived.
...
The first day of Lao Jiumen will be broadcasted six episodes, and will be updated two episodes a day in the future. Forty episodes will be watched by members in 17 days, and ordinary audiences will take nineteen days.
In the blink of an eye, the number of views reached more than 3 billion, breaking several online drama records in succession, and people in the industry were shocked to death.
According to the bet signed between Yuan Hua and iQi video, the other party will pay him 70 million yuan in total for 3 billion views.
Online dramas are not theater movies, there is no high tax, no promotional distribution share, and the phenomenon of theaters taking up the majority will be truly in Yuan Hua's pocket.
According to this trend, it is not a problem to get 700 million views after the end. Yuan Hua can easily get 100 million. Putting aside his production cost of 50 million, he earns 50 million.
Many listed companies cannot make 50 million yuan in net profit a year, and Yuan Hua can handle it in one drama.
A few months before and after.
How to avoid jealousy.
No wonder people say that the film and television industry is huge profits, which is not an exaggeration at all.
All he earns is a return on investment. As an actor, he also earns a pay of 15 million, and films for 40 episodes, with an average of 370,000 per episode.
This price is definitely the most popular movie in the entertainment industry.
After Lao Jiumen, I'm afraid the price will still increase.
"Teacher Yuan, I have a drama here that suits you very well. It is tailor-made for you. Are you interested in trying out the role?"
"Brother Hua, our company invests 80 million to make a blockbuster. I want to invite you to play the leading male lead."
"Huazi, you can. The owner of the film and television company has come to me and asked me to be a middleman to ask you to film. If you want to film, you can make your own decisions, give me face, and call someone back."
"Brother Hua, there is a TV series, 450,000 episodes per episode, a total of 80 episodes. Will it be filmed?"
Ten days after Lao Jiumen was broadcast, Yuan Hua's net worth soared, and his pay for filming TV series was raised to more than 400,000 yuan per episode, and some even offered him 500,000 yuan per episode to appear.
Is it expensive?
It is indeed expensive, but some people are willing to invite him because he is worth the price. Now who doesn’t know that the word Yuan Hua represents traffic and ratings?
As long as there is him, the audience is willing to watch it and pay for it.
Just like this movie "The Legend of the Nine Gate", it has 5 billion views, and the rating has almost dropped below seven from the beginning to the beginning of the 8:00 to the current seven:00.
The audience complained a lot, but if they couldn't resist it, it was just that some people liked to watch it.
With this old Jiumen, iQi Video has attracted millions of member users, and it’s so funny.
Lao Jiumen has been broadcast for 20 days, with 8.5 billion views, officially ending, breaking many records of online dramas and becoming the highest number of online dramas ever.
To celebrate, the leaders of iQi Video held a celebration banquet and invited the crew to have a meal.
At the same time, Yuan Hua's account was settled, 1:25 billion.
If you continue to drag on, it will be more than this little money. Even if it is finished, the number of views will still be quite large every day.
After three rounds of drinking, the leader of iQi Video left. Before leaving, he held Yuan Hua's hand tightly, saying that there will be online dramas in the future and they must be considered.
Beside Yuan Hua, Zhang Yixing held the wine glass and said, "Brother Hua, thank you for asking me for filming, I'll give you a drink. If you have any chance in the future, don't be polite, I will definitely arrive."
Lao Jiumen was his first drama. He became famous in one shot and successfully started fighting. Many film and television companies have also handed him scripts these days.
Now he belongs to the three major developments of songs, film and television.
The goal is to follow Yuan Hua.
Sorry to hit Zhang Yixing, Yuan Hua could only say politely: "There is a role that suits you next time, I will definitely find you."
In his previous life, as one of the four sons of returning home, Zhang Yixing was still popular for a few years and was once a top star.
Maybe it was because he wanted too much and took too much steps. Or maybe it was because the company's positioning was inaccurate, and his popularity did not increase but decreased over the past five or six years.
In terms of songs, I said that I wanted to represent Chinese music all day long, but I didn’t even have a single song that has become popular.
I filmed several films in film and television, but they were all lukewarm. Huang Bo took a good show. The box office was good, but the performance was not very good and I didn't win any awards.
Variety shows have been on a lot, and the Extreme Challenge has been there in the first few seasons. In addition, there are some idol trainees, youth with you, the name of a boy, this is street dance, golden song youth, yearning for life.
Typically, I want everything, but in the end I can’t achieve anything.
Look at the other three team members. The boss is mainly engaged in movies in the Beijing circle. Before he entered, he was already the top star. In terms of popularity and traffic, few people can compete with him.
Lu Han's permanent Running Man maintains popularity. If he takes on roles, he would have been able to wrestle the boss with the boss if he didn't play with the Fortress of the Magic City and the Sweet Critical Strike.
Huang Zitao almost did not regress, but fortunately his popularity did not decline. He started his own agency as a boss and trained artists, and lived a free and easy life.
Only Zhang Yixing can't make it a low-level one, but he also withdrew after the revision of the Extreme Challenge, and his popularity has dropped sharply, all thanks to variety shows.
Song, Film and Television are fully open, and Yuan Hua dares not do this.
In his plan, actors are the leading actors, singing is a side job, and it is unlikely to seize both hands, and people's energy is limited.
The film and television drama alone is enough for him to think about it for the rest of his life.
"Teacher Yuan, and me." Tan Songyun said quickly.
Zhang Yixing is not from the company, and he wants to steal their jobs and thinks beautifully.
Even my family can't eat enough.
