Chapter 55 Meet (8/8)
In fact, Zhang Jiajia probably doesn’t care much about the reputation of "The Ferryman", all he cares about is the box office!
First of all, as a writer, Zhang Jiajia is a frequent visitor to the top 10 writers' income rankings in recent years. In 2014, the royalty income of 19.5 million was topped by the rankings. Although the royalty income of 14 million fell slightly in 2015, it was also ahead of Liu Cixin.
Zhang Jiajia, who has published 6 books in ten years, is relatively prolific. Among them, "The World" is said to have sold 7 million copies in three years, breaking the record of best-selling books in the past 10 years. The novel "Let Me Stay With You" written for her dog Messi has sold more than 800,000 copies in half a year.
In addition to publishing books, Zhang Jiajia, who is unable to rest, has also been a lyricist and written "A Person Like You". As the planner of Jiangsheng TV's variety show "Happy Enemies", Zhang Jiajia herself also hugged the beauty in the show, and later served as a guest in "If You Are the One". It seems that being a ferryman will indeed be addicted.
As a screenwriter and director, Zhang Jiajia also made great profits this year. Her masterpiece "Pasting Through Your World" consists of more than 30 short stories. The film and television adaptation rights of multiple stories have been divided up by various film and television companies such as Light, Gongfu Film, Huace, and Happy Blue Ocean. Zhang Jiajia himself once revealed to the media that "a story costs 1.5 million, which is not counted as 10% of the box office share."
According to this calculation, Zhang Jiajia's share of "Passing Through Your World" that earned 800 million yuan will also reach tens of millions. In addition, the expected box office revenue of "Ferryman" and the registered TV series "Passing Through Your World" are planned to develop the science fiction drama "The Last Ten Minutes of the Earth", Zhang Jiajia may have made nearly 100 million yuan through film and television and book works this year.
As the boss, Zhang Jiajia is obviously more money-making.
In 2014, "World" sold a lot of 2 million. Zhang Jiajia announced that she would join Xitian Youxi Company and founded Maidao Studio with its support. In addition to Zhang Jiajia, the shareholders also include Xitian's boss Zhou Yanxi. Although Xitian Youxi is gone, the friendship between the past is still there, so it is not difficult to explain why the movie version of "World" asked Xitian's Zhang Tianai to play the leading female role.
In 2015, Zhang Jiajia established IP incubation and writer brokerage company Shi Hai, and completed a round of financing of more than 100 million this year. The investors came from two fund companies, including Chenhai Capital and Jinglin Capital.
In an exclusive interview with Shi Hai by Star Capital Theory, it was learned that Shi Hai's rhythm is one movie a year, plus two online dramas.
In other words, he has formed an effect similar to that of Guo Jingming - the ip effect!
This was before the release of "The Ferryman"!
After the release of "The Ferryman", all Zhang Jiajia's works were questioned, from high-quality IP to not being able to care about them easily...
Just like after "The Legend of Jue", the funds for films and TV series adapted by Guo Jingming's novels were withdrawn...
Circles are very realistic!
Especially under the leadership of their boss Zhang Junsheng, the artists of the Yuehua Group took sides and didn't like it, which made Zhang Jiajia even more questionable...
Of course Zhang Jiajia was anxious!
All his value is based on his own works. If it is not good, his IP will not work...
But his choice is a bit stupid, and he is directly criticizing Zhang Junsheng?
I don't even look at his strength!
...
"That's right, I made a bad movie for 400 million yuan, but I won't be scolded? Why?"
"It's not good to watch, it's not good to watch. This is a fact. It has nothing to do with whether you like Zhang Jiajia's books. In short, your movie is really rubbish!"
"Some fans are speechless. If you say that a movie is bad, it is called insulting?"
"If hard work is useful, then what else should I do? Who can do Zhang Junsheng's first movie "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
"A major feature of bad Chinese movies. No matter how bad fans are, they won't admit it. Just say you don't understand movies, you can go on it. Now that Zhang Junsheng is on it, he says he abuses... Did he say a swear word from beginning to end?"
"I really don't know where Fujisu got the courage. He dared to compete with "All Channel Blockage Interference". Is it a movie of the same level?"
Zhang Junsheng's fans immediately followed...
Of course, some netizens also said, "You can invest in "Tiny Times", but you can't stand "Ferryman", what's the thing...'
Ahem, from the perspective of investment returns, the four "Tiny Times" have invested 200 million yuan, and the box office dividends are nearly 400 million yuan, making more than double the profit. The most important thing is that through this series, the "Tiny Times" has raised more than 7.5 billion yuan and successfully listed!
You let the Fujixun movie go public through "The Ferryman"?
...
In the office, Zhang Junsheng posted on Weibo and continued to discuss the issue of "Mulan".
Sisi spoke first: "What are you talking about?"
“…Nothing, we want to make “Mulan” before Disney and Sony…”
“…Is it OK? Will it violate copyright?”
Zhang Junsheng replied: "'Mulan' IP is not exclusive to Disney, it is Chinese culture, so we can certainly shoot it!"
"...Okay, you guys keep discussing, I'll go down."
“Where to go?”
"Oh, Zhao Liying is waiting for me downstairs!"
"…you go!"
Liu Sisi left, and several people continued to discuss "Mulan" or other types of films...
Yuehua has only sixteen movies next year, which is far from reaching its limit!
Thinking of opening up new series!
"In fact, we can also shoot "The Rich White Man" in the peak filming of "Crazy Rich"..."
Brother Song retorted: "…The European tyrant Chinese prostitute Changji?"
"…Ahem, no, I mean to follow the example of Crazy Richmond and film a story about white people in China..."
Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "I don't like watching anyway!"
Nonsense, who likes to watch the story of the white man visiting the Chinese girl?
It's not a real army!
“…Where is that black man?”
""The Black Man with a Hang"?"
"...Let's just think about some mainstream ones honestly, don't always think about those marginal ones!"
Brother Song: "Two days ago, CJ Entertainment provided a project, "Lobster Criminal Police", which talked about a bunch of…"
Zhang Junsheng directly interrupted him: "China-South Korea relations will not improve for the time being..."
"Do we want to invest in Jiang Wen's "Evil Is Not Suppressing Righteousness"?"
“…had he looked for us?”
“No…”
"Then don't worry!"
Jiang Wen is a pit...
"One Step Away" almost lost the credibility established by "Let the Bullets Fly", and another movie "Evil Don't Suppress the Righteousness"...
The dumplings made for this vinegar...
"You can do it. Anyway, Yuehua has to release at least twenty movies every year..."
Leave a word, Zhang Junsheng stood up and prepared to leave.
"…Here we help us speak to Li Ying!"
"…roll!"
That's right, Zhang Junsheng is preparing to meet Zhao Liying with Liu Sisi. This girl seems to be planning to terminate her contract with her agency recently...
Chapter completed!
