The chairman of the committee's film business department realized at this time that what Mu Xianxue said was not groundless.
This incident only happened within half a year. Under the uninterrupted five-part bombing, Lu Jian sucked away the efforts of all the "g-point" directors like a vampire. In the past six months, only movies with quality and stories and characters can have a chance to survive.
"The Killing Formation of Different Dimensions" seems to be the best among them. With an investment of 2 million yuan, there is no big name except Xia Ge. Director Liu Tang presented a pure movie, producer Lu Jian and screenwriter Stephen Zhou, which made everyone recall the "Save Me" back then. Although the box office of 280 million yuan is not much, it is also a rare harvest under the shadow of the small era.
In the hottest summer, "Where Are We Going Daddy" was released. The first scene of the first season was selected as the Binhai Water Carnival. This parent-child reality show has harvested ratings at a terrifying speed. It only aired three episodes. The copyright of the second season in production has already called for nine figures. In the face of this number, the production cost of 30 million per season is not that high.
At the end of August, the chairman of Qianjin Entertainment took the initiative to find Wade.
"This is our acquisition conditions..." The chairman personally handed the document to Wade, "I will never come to this industry again in my life. I can't understand it, and I can't understand it anymore."
Wade looked at the agreement and remained silent.
"I don't understand, is "Tiny Times" that good? Why?"
Don't make a sound.
"There are also "Where Are We Going, Daddy?" Where are you going, where are you going, what are you fucking? Why are so many people watching it?"
Don't make a sound.
"You'd better give another 5% off." Wade put down the material.
"You said 15 billion before." The chairman said in surprise.
"Now we have money to build our own building. Things are even smoother than the smoothest situation I planned. Abandoning faith, Lu Jian's one is more efficient than a cash transport machine. Now we can easily complete our independent listing. In contrast, in the past seven months, Qianjin Entertainment's business has shrunk by more than 5%.
"Leave a way to survive, Wade." The chairman frowned, "I have lost tens of billions of this deal."
"I respect you, but the word 'sympathy' should not appear in our negotiations."
"Oh..." the chairman sighed.
...
On September 30, DreamWorks achieved its annual turnover target of 15 billion yuan ahead of schedule, of which 50% were from the hands of the Tiny Times series, 25% were from newly-sung artists, 15% were from variety shows, and there were all kinds of things.
Lu Jian and Wade joined hands to celebrate the celebration banquet and announced on the spot that the year-end bonus was awarded in advance.
Even the grassroots staff here have the opportunity to have an annual salary of nearly one million as much as the vice president as the vice president. This is also Wade's management style. He advocates that people should give full play to their talents, rather than everyone should squeeze into management positions. An excellent salesperson should not be lower than any director. He hates all power tricks and believes in the power of money.
Subsequently, the first batch of "new filmmakers" also entered the "Gu refining stage" from the "training stage". They will go to different positions to lead more than ten projects, and those who make profits will stay, and those who fail will be eliminated.
The second batch of new filmmakers were recruited, and the following year's main five-part movie was put on the agenda "Twilight"
The second batch of new filmmakers, like their predecessors, always felt out of place when they first came and were full of problems.
"Teacher Lu, from a purely business perspective, shouldn't he invite the "Future Samsung" to star in? Why does the project say that a newcomer will be launched in full?"
"In the future, Samsung's net worth has become the pinnacle of the industry. It was the cultivation stage before, to cultivate their popularity, and now it is the harvest stage. Let them go out to take on shows and receive announcements and make money from other people." Lu Jian smiled with the coffee, "and we cultivate new seeds."
"Are we seeds too, Teacher Lu?"
"Strictly speaking, yes, but your life cycle is longer." Lu Jian took a sip of coffee and said, "As long as you can maintain your creativity, you can make money and earn 80 years old."
"Teacher Lu, I have a serious problem." Zheng Zhong, a glasses girl like Liu Tang, stood up.
Lu Jian couldn't help but look at him slightly. Is another guy who wants to provoke authority?
The girl pointed to the plan on the table and said, "This subject, vampire werewolf, cannot pass the review, and cannot become a talent after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Jian's eyes, but he still replied: "In our variety shows and movies, we have given a lot of resources to the high-ranking officials and nobles. They have nodded in this project. Is there any problem?"
The girl was stunned for a moment: "No...no."
Next, no characters like Liu Tang appeared again.
Unconsciously, the so-called faith and art seem to be really dissolving.
Lu Jian even missed the past a little.
When he made his first movie "Lady Battle", many people pointed out problems, criticized values, etc., and when he was "Tiny Times 1", many people scolded him.
There are fewer and fewer discussions about such squirting.
One by one, the box office bombings are not the only ones that bombard the cinema, but also the so-called original intention.
Under this unquestionable real business gravity, more and more people are deviating from the truth. In other words, Lu Jian and Dream Factory are new scriptures and new paths.
People who once despised kitsch were slapped in the face again and again by the market. No matter how angry they were, they could not resist the gravity of reality.
They either left, or followed, until one day, kitsch became everyone's motto, the way to survive.
At this moment, almost no one scolded Lu Jian, and no one among their disciples opposed his viewpoint on the movie, as if all this was right.
Without slogans and philosophical thinking, the three views were reshaped by reality.
Almost all the media and peers now praise Lu Jian. He has become a benchmark for success and a role model for all practitioners, including many people who once scolded Lu Jian.
This made Lu Jian a little disappointed.
At this time, a figure rushed into the conference room. It was Ivy: "Brother Jian, someone has finally scolded you again."
"Who? Who?" Lu Jian stood up excitedly.
"Who else can it be, Grand Duke Zhao."
"Gtmd big cock! Let me see how he scolded him." Lu Jian rushed over and took the pad in Ivy's hand and sighed like an opera, "Lu Jian, what are you thinking about? How much money is it to be considered? You, the manure machine, dare you go back and shoot the movies that the members watched? Also, the Xiaoyao Legend group is already popular enough, and being a folk singer will die!"
"Um." After reading it, Lu Jian was completely happy, "The big rooster is OK, it's really OK, it's cursing me."
"Do you want to contact him?"
"No, don't! I don't want to have any interaction with him, so he will be embarrassed to scold me."
“What a magical relationship.”
After Lu Jian was happy, he returned to his seat to continue teaching his apprentices.
A disciple asked, "Brother Jian... Why do you feel good about being scolded?"
"I can't explain it clearly, either." Lu Jian shook his head after thinking for a long time, "I can't explain it clearly, really."
The bombing and expansion continue. At the beginning of the following year, more variety shows were launched, "Running Brothers" and "I Am a Singer" successively created rating miracles, and programs such as "Love Defense" harvested the market for older audiences.
Although DreamWorks has only a thousand employees, the number of workers who work for it has already exceeded 10,000, and a giant crocodile has broken out of its shell.
At the beginning of the year, Samsung received a full range of announcements, advertisements, movies, variety shows, etc., and has exceeded 3 billion. The three of them combined to reach the height of 9 Huang Meiling.
The only one who has the chance to surpass them is the new star in "Twilight". This time it is a more terrifying ten-year contract. DreamWorks' despicable level has surpassed that of its exotic predecessors, Huanya Entertainment.
After acquiring Qianjin Entertainment, Wade did not make the usual way to go public through backdoor listing, but reorganized it into "smart entertainment" and relisted as a subsidiary of DreamWorks. The company abandoned all its physical business and rushed to digital entertainment with full financing. The superficial business is animation production and special effects production, but few people know about the deep business.
Wade was finally able to use billions of funds to launch a fierce attack, and even directly and roughly acquired an American studio.
The first move of smart entertainment is to launch virtual male singer Xiaozhi and female singer Xiaoai. Anyone can download an application, enter the music score or hum a paragraph by himself, and the virtual idol can turn it into a song and automatically write the music. If you are a professional, there is also a comprehensive mixer for operation.
The threshold for making music is now lowered to its lowest point ever, and you only need a phone that can run the "Virtual Idol" app.
Next is the "100 million bounty program", where everyone can produce songs through virtual idols. The top ten people in the monthly rankings will share a bonus of 10 million for a year.
With the arrival of the era of national music creation, people even cooperate independently. Many people write lyrics, many people hum music, and free musicians edit and arrange the music at will.
Behind this, there are tons of data fertilizer hidden.
The five-part series of "Twilight" is exactly the same as "Tiny Times", but the box office won by China is lower than the former, with a total box office of 9 billion. But the magical thing is that the English version written by the studio under DreamWorks was surprisingly best-selling in Europe and the United States, and inexplicably earned an overseas box office of US$1.3 billion, which far exceeds the total overseas box office of all Chinese-language movies ever.
At this moment, Lu Jian was crowned as king and became a real hero. His hymns were so neat that there was no noise at all.
In fact, there are still some. Zhao Dagong became the last position of Lu Jian's opponents, and he scolded him almost every work he produced.
What's amazing is that everyone who did this with Lu Jian was completely disgusted, only Grand Duke Zhao did not, and even Grand Duke Zhao himself felt something.
Two men who have never met before seem to be able to touch the softest part of each other's heart.
At the end of the year, DreamWorks' final profit exceeded 40 billion, 51 projects are underway, and 35 singers have almost monopolized the music industry. Nearly one-third of the people in the industry are, once or soon to play for DreamWorks, and they also have 8 of the 10 super idols with the most traffic in the industry.
The first batch of 17 new filmmakers survived 10, and these 10 people gave nearly 8 billion yuan in total box office, and there will only be more in the future.
In the third year, Star Factory and Smart Entertainment jointly presented the cartoon "Frozen". Wade acquired foreign studios for hundreds of millions of dollars and played its due role. The overseas box office of this film exceeds 400 million US dollars, adding a gem to Lu Jian's crown.
At this time, Lu Jian had already retreated to the second line, but he was constantly providing plans and scripts over and over again. He felt like a data migration machine, and his job was to transport the masterpieces of one world to another.
At the end of the third year, the group produced songs occupies 61 seats in the top 100 of the popular charts, 15 of which were from virtual idols. However, at this time, not only Xiaozhi and Xiao Ai were designed, but more of their voices and appearances were designed. There were few professional musicians who created popular songs. More of them had sudden ideas from any person at any time. These inspirations were combined together in the sea of data to become complete songs.
At the same time, Star Factory, DreamWorks and Smart Entertainment had a total box office of more than 30 billion, surpassing half of the country and hitting the ceiling.
This seems to be the limit of the dimensionality reduction of the "g-point theory". No matter how they launch new works that please the audience, it will be difficult to move forward in the market share.
