Zhao Qiang was feeling a little emotional about this scene of "the king and his ministers getting along well with each other" when he heard the news from before and Niu Li and Wang Lun came in again.

When Zhou Cheng heard this, he immediately remembered and said, "When I left the cinema, I saw two people who looked like them from a distance. But I came in a hurry, so I didn't say hello."

After Zhang Qing thought for a while, he smiled and said: "I just asked for an investment of three million from me the day before yesterday. Maybe I saw you, Director Zhou, coming over, and I was afraid of being intercepted, so I hurried after you."

Zhou Cheng was a little anxious when he heard this and said, "I really need some money to start a project!"

Zhang Qing laughed and said: "Director Zhou, you don't need to consider financial issues when you start a movie in the future. For projects below 10 million, you can make your own decisions at any time. For projects above 10 million and below 30 million, ask Mr. Zhao for his signature. Three

More than ten million..."

"Enough, enough, enough!"

Zhou Cheng wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said: "The cost of 30 million yuan would require a box office of 100 million yuan to make it back. In the 1990s, the highest number of domestic films could reach 10 million yuan..."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Although the highest-grossing mainland film is not worth 10 million, Sun Kuohai's blockbuster sold more than 80 million, and the Hollywood blockbuster the year before last sold more than 100 million. This shows that our audience is not unwilling to watch it.

I can’t find any good movies to watch.”

According to the historical process, the big ship of Hollywood will come in next year and directly bring in nearly 400 million in box office. After 12 years of squeezing Chinese-language movies under its control, the record will be broken by another American blockbuster.

Although box office does not mean everything, although you can find various reasons and excuses, but...

In the end, I could only sigh.

While they were talking, Director Niu and the Qiao family came back and saw Qu Qin and Zhou Cheng chatting with small smiles. Both of them felt a little restrained in their hearts.

Qu Qin had an upright temperament and said sharply before retreating: "What's the matter, are you surrendering now? Lao Zhou, you are too slow, aren't you? After all, you are one of the world's top young directors."

Zhou Cheng has a really peaceful temperament, but he is also angry. He said cheerfully: "What kind of international little director am I? I used to beg for food with Qing Duo."

Qu Qin clicked his tongue, looked at Niu Li and said, "Good guy, are you planning to unify Chinese movies?"

Niu Li said hoarsely: "Old Wang, are you a bad learner and trying to trick me? Once this name is known, the relevant departments should give me eye drops. You have been dealt with badly, and you want to pull people away."

On the water?"

Director Niu:...""

Zhou Chengdao: "Qing Duo just wants to do something for our Chinese movies."

Director Niu said: "Do something for Chinese movies? You've done too much, right? How bad is this movie's box office?"

Qiao said: "If there are more, it will be higher than "Duolin Duolin"."

Niu Li smiled and said nothing. Seeing this, Qiao immediately slapped his forehead and laughed at himself: "Look at my stupid brain. At that time, a movie ticket for "Dolin Dolin" only cost 10 cents, and the box office was less than 100 million.

, even if a bunch of people have watched it several times, at most hundreds of millions of people have watched it. Now a movie ticket costs ten yuan, and hundreds of millions of people... Good guy, but how many billions does it cost?" After saying this, he laughed out loud.

.

Zhou Cheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "That's the way it is calculated. A dime a piece is affordable to the common people. I remember in 1947, when the economic situation was not good, the country was in decline, and farmers had a good harvest, so I spent a dime to watch a movie.

, I'm still willing to give it up. It's the same now. The economy outside the city is good, and there are workers everywhere. Looking at the hardship outside the city, the countryside is actually even more miserable. The number of people who can afford to watch movies is only four to seven years old. Hundreds of millions of people must be able to do so.

No, tens of millions of people... no hope."

Niu Li smiled and said: "Let's see, even if there is no box office of 280 million, if you deduct here and there, and then share it with the theaters, you will only get tens of millions, and after deducting taxes, it will be much less.

There is also a small amount of money earned from releasing an album. Moreover, every movie can experience this kind of century-old prosperity and gain a wave of popularity. Considering the current domestic cinema chain system and the number of screens, I think under the movie

If you want to get rich, give up as soon as possible. I don’t have the energy, so I can make more money than making movies.”

Zhou Chengdao: "Others say this is unreasonable, but Qing Duo said there must be something wrong. Good guy, our bestie and I have been having a tantrum for two or eight years, and then she actually called me just to ask me to help her.

I bought CDs, pictorials, dolls, and T-shirts of "I Am a Boy". It cost me about 700 yuan to get them all. Don't worry, it's expensive. In bigger cities, you can buy whatever you want.

.”

Qiao knew some of the inside story and said with a smile: "We Qingduo make ordinary money. The money they earned was to go to Hong Kong Island to buy Ming Pao. That is a super small industry with a market value of one billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is not even worth it at all."

Children can be calculated with money. Who dares to say that they use money to buy Huaguo Daily? It would be weird if someone scratched their ears. But the influence of "Ming Pao" in the world is much lower than that of Huaguo Daily. Zhou

This is a good name, ‘Qing Duo’, I used to call it Qing Duo, it’s so appropriate!”

Niu Li asked Director Niu: "Can you tolerate him like this?"

Director Niu became amused, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, saying: "Is it nice to praise you for being awesome?"

Niu Li understood: "That's right. When people praised you for looking up at the Big Dipper, did you accept it? I'm still far behind. This kind of praise is really a skill. If you dig deep, you can get a piece of it.

A good movie is coming.”

Qiao said "Hey" and said happily: "You really compliment me. I understand. I will definitely save a good book later."

Niu Lidao: "Director Zhou has agreed to sign Du Juan. For scenes with a budget of more than 10 million, he can do whatever he wants. Qu Qin, are you interested in joining Du Juan?"

There is little to say about this person's character, but his directing skills are still problematic, at least in this era.

Director Niu looked sideways and said, "He is also cautious about shooting over 10 million?"

Niu Li shook his head and said: "I appreciate Zhang Qing's talent, but before his talent is fully revealed, he can only be approved for 8 million. If Qu Qin can prove himself step by step without solid results, the quota will be lowered. Nothing.

It should be noted that I will completely interfere in the creative process and filming process. The producer will make arrangements and give the director the minimum power."

Zhao Qiang laughed at the side and said: "Eight million is already too much, which means that it will take at least 10 million at the box office to barely make up the money. In the past ten years, only a handful of mainland movies have reached this box office.

"

Mr. Qiao rubbed his head and said: "In the 1940s, the box office was actually very high. At its lowest, it was only 8 to 7 billion. As a result, the more reform came, the more people became more and more complete. Before the division of accounts in 1948, I was a little too anxious, but there is no limit.

.I guess it needs to be changed again. What’s the use of changing the theater chain system? By the way, Qing Duo, I heard that the people who came out of Changying are now in Dujuan?"

Niu Li said: "There is no such thing."

Zhou Cheng said happily: "I've heard about it too. Then we can pull out a team to film the movie at any time."

Niu Li shook his head and said: "A small number of them are asked to prepare for filming a TV series and get used to it again. There are still some who are determined to stick to movies and are sent to Hong Kong Island to study. Director Zhou can go to Hong Kong Island to recruit Wang Lun when filming.

You are worried that the director is Xiao Tian on the set. In addition, Bai Kezhi's wife Zhao Lin is a top producer and is now the vice chairman of our Dujuan Culture Media in charge of the film and television department. She will provide assistance to the producer when the time comes."

Zhou Cheng is naturally satisfied that he can be more satisfied. In terms of various film front-end technologies, Hong Kong Island is slightly weaker than the mainland.

Qiao made sense: "For such a small battle, the labor expenses on Hong Kong Island are much lower than ours. How much less box office can we get back the money?"

This time when "Once Upon a Time" was released, Du Juan was able to avoid so many tricks and actually sent an accountant to supervise the votes. It was absolutely possible last time.

Just by stealing the box office and hiding the box office, I was able to teach Niu Li how to be a good person last time.

Niu Li himself said it just now. He understands this, but he actually adds small investments?

Niu Li smiled and said: "We have reached a strategic partnership agreement with Qu Qin Films of Hong Kong Island. Wang Lun has more than 100 theaters in Nanyang, and has no distribution channels in Bay Area, Japan and South Korea. Because cable channels are in Bay Area, Japan and South Korea There are no branches in Nanyang and Nanyang, so there is little difficulty in distributing it without publicity channels. Therefore, as long as the movie is too featureless, the problem of returning the cost is small."

Director Niu felt that Niu Li had nothing to say, so he squinted and said, "What do you mean by being too featureless?"

Qu Qin laughed and said: "It's the kind you wrote. Once you leave Pingjing, the audience will be less surprised. After crossing the Yangtze River, a few people will be disgusted."

"Fuck me!"

Director Niu swore: "Who are you looking at here?"

Niu Li chuckled: "Tell yourself, when you wrote it, did you only care about your own pleasure, or did you consider the readers in the south?"

Director Niu was simply dismissive: "When I write a book, I always go back and read it again. Who would think about going north or south?"

Niu Li smiled and said: "So, your book is just like Zhongqu, and it is also as widely sold as my book. No matter whether you are in the north or the south, some people like to read martial arts. But your Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme are loved by the people in the south. There are really few.”

Niu was still angry, so Qiao helped him to explain: "Master Lun's books were also sold very well in the south back then."

Niu Li chuckled and said: "That's because the liberalization has just been released and the people have other books to read. The young people are all serious literature, but the hot ones pop up in alleys, and the casual writers are curious about it, so they buy it. If you try to sell it in the next few years, how many books can you still sell in the south of the Yangtze River? With Lao Wang's talent, it is a small problem to write a good script. Of course, I am begging, just a suggestion. Are you willing? You can write whatever you want, and shoot whatever Zhang Qing wants. I insult the freedom of creation."

In fact, both of them are people who cherish feathers. It may be too much to say that such people are extreme egoists, but it is too little.

The two of them would definitely ruin their reputations just because they wasted money, so Niu Li was very worried.

Director Niu was not a little angry at first, but when he heard this, he laughed angrily and said: "You have never done business like this before, and I don't think so for a long time."

Niu Li looked at him and said, "Is there anything else? If something happens, I'll leave some food."

Director Niu's eyes were so wide open that he was so fucked. When did he get to the point where people chased him in, fearing that he would get a piece of his meal?

If Qu Qin grabbed him, he would have banged the table and cursed: "You have nothing to do?"

Qu Qin shook his head and said, "I have something urgent. I need to talk to Director Zhou about his last movie."

Qu Qin chuckled and said: "What a coincidence you say, I also want to talk about the last movie. Today's lunch, you have to take care of it, you have to take care of it, I still have to go! At noon You have to leave after dinner, and you have to leave after dinner...Did you Dujuan send an accountant to count the votes? Just in time, after 17 o'clock in the evening, we will summarize and summarize, and we will also see whether you are a dragon, a tiger, or an insect!"

Qu Qin said with a smile: "Are you playing house? There are more than a thousand movie theaters across the country, and how long has it been since the phone calls were made? If the results are available tomorrow, it is wrong, and you still count them at that time? Yes, you can help.

You can also be a staff officer..."
