Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1665 : record

BJ, a conference room at the headquarters of Jinshu Media.

A mess.

On the desk are some lunch boxes that haven't had time to be cleaned up, and there are also scattered pieces of various cigarette boxes and wine bottles. The air is even more smoky, and almost all of the men are smoking cigarettes. However, even the female executives sitting in this conference room didn't care about it at this time.

It's past morning.

Wu Shanlin, president of Jinshu Media, threw the **** of a cigarette that almost burned his finger into the ashtray and replaced it with a new one. Hearing the whispers of others around him, he couldn't help but ask the Jinshu theater line business beside him. The person in charge Luo Gu said: "How much do you think you can rush this time?"

Luo Yan also held one eye in his mouth and heard the words: "It is certain to break the record of "Titanic". As for how much, I can't say for sure."

Two years ago, "Titanic" ended up in a clever position of 390 million yuan in the mainland's total box office, but it still far exceeded the 320 million yuan of the second "Hero". Although the box office of American blockbusters in this era exceeds that of Chinese movies, it is almost taken for granted in the minds of many Chinese, but not everyone hopes to break the record of "Titanic".

Originally, the industry generally felt that the "Chu Han" trilogy that Zhang Guoshi was producing had such potential. After all, Zhang Guoshi's own box office appeal and the popularity accumulated by a series of award-winning box office films such as "Red Sorghum" and "Hero" are in There. No one would have thought that now a "Kung Fu", even if it is only on the first day of its release, will give people a premonition that the "Titanic" record is about to be broken.

On the other side, Zheng Yi, president of Jinshu Films, was teasing with a female executive who was in charge of media public relations. He turned his head and said, "According to today's news, we will also be scorned by theaters all over the world this time. Less box office."

It was a pity that everyone immediately remembered that a theater started selling 'stand-up tickets' just under their noses.

Wu Shanlin said: "This is a small problem. The key is piracy. This time, it must be prevented. Lao Zheng, you will arrange this tomorrow morning."

Zheng Yi nodded.

Luo Gu said again at this time: "Actually, there is still a shortage of theaters in China. Well, I mean qualified theaters. After all, the policy is not open enough."

Speaking of which, "Kung Fu" received only 73% of the networked theaters connected to the National Box Office Data Center under the Film Bureau after the reform of the theater chain system. In fact, a large number of cinemas in many counties, cities and towns across the country are basically in a semi-obsolete state due to various reasons such as outdated equipment, so they can only play two rounds of movies or simply pirated copies.

Wu Shanlin took a puff of cigarette, looked up at the ceiling of the conference room slightly, and said, "It's pretty good now. A few years ago, I almost thought that Chinese movies were about to end."

Zheng Yi echoed: "Yeah..."

After taking a sentence, he hesitated, but he didn't say much.

Of course, they all thought of the real boss behind Jinshu, a young tycoon who strongly pushed the Chinese film industry to carry out two key reforms: the network of theaters and the opening of foreign investment. Just these two things have brought the shaky Chinese film market back together.

Then, it is the direct support in content.

After all, with only a huge population of 1.2 billion, the Chinese film industry naturally has a very large market potential. It's just that the market has been completely screwed up a few years ago, but the potential is still there.

like a fertile field.

Don't mess around, take care of it well, and you will definitely get a bumper harvest.

Thinking of this, Wu Shanlin finished smoking another cigarette without realizing it. Wu Shanlin raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He was about to ask why the data hadn't arrived when his secretary walked in quickly on a small high heel, beautiful. There was a look of joy on his face, and a fax in his hand: "Mr. Wu, and everyone, the statistics have come out, 46 million, "Kung Fu" on the first day of release, the box office was 46 million!"

Everyone in the conference room stood up subconsciously, with sighs, joy, excitement, and surprise, and approached the female secretary holding the fax.

Although the Chinese film industry has realized the network of theaters, and the film festival has also opened a special website for film box office data, it is far from being released in real time after many years. Only then will the website be updated, and then some other platforms can carry out data reprinting.

Jin Shu was able to get the data as soon as possible, and it was also a special case. The film bureau specially arranged for people to work overtime tonight.

After getting the shocking box office data of 46 million on the first day, I did not care about the attitude here. I immediately contacted various portals that I knew well, and released the news overnight. After all, this is also a kind of propaganda.

46 million!

Even after the early morning, the news spread quickly.

Because it was so shocking.

You must know that "Hero" two years ago was also fully announced, and the box office was only 91 million in the first four days of its opening weekend, and the box office on Thursday on the first day was only 21 million. Before this time, "Kung Fu" "Half of the 46 million box office.

As we all know, the total box office of "Hero" in mainland China is 320 million yuan.

So, now, "Kung Fu" has more than doubled the 46 million box office on the first day of "Hero" on the first day. How much will this movie finally have at the box office in mainland China? !

It's an easy conversion.

Of course, people with a little industry knowledge will not directly multiply the box office of "Hero" by two points or the like to get a figure of more than 600 million.

In the current market in the mainland, 600 million box office, I really dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.

However, breaking the previous record of 390 million "Titanic" and reaching 400 million, according to the box office calculation on the first day, must be more than enough, and even if it is higher, it is not impossible to hit 500 million.

If it can get 500 million box office, according to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to 60 million US dollars.

The mainland's current split is 40%, 60 million US dollars, and the four-part account is 24 million US dollars, which is basically close to the production cost of 25 million US dollars.

The problem is that everyone understands that, like "Heroes", "Kung Fu" is not about mainland China, but the global market.

Just one ticket warehouse in mainland China is close to repayment, overseas... It's a big win if you think about it.

The next day is Saturday.

The rest day, and the summer vacation, was a highly anticipated event. With the release of the 46 million ultra-high box office on the first day, it was fermented again, which further triggered the phenomenon of queuing up to buy tickets all over the country.

In a blink of an eye, the day is over.

In the evening, in the afternoon, accompanied several executives of ICBC to play golf at the open Xiangshan Golf Course, Chen Qing drove to the city in the twilight.

The box office was a big hit on the first day, and Jinshu couldn't wait to celebrate.

Since Chen Qing was in the capital, of course she was invited.

Jiang Shanwu had already collected some relevant information about the film, box office data, media feedback, etc., according to Chen Qing's instructions in advance. Chen Qing sat in the car, flipping through the pages, thinking about what had just happened.

This time I played with people, mainly to discuss the last time my boss had a flash of inspiration.

good pal.

The whole thing went smoothly.

However, it seems that the name of this small-amount financial management business must be changed, because even if the Internet has not yet emerged, the word 'good friends' cannot be concealed from many well-informed people.

According to the words of a big leader who attaches great importance to the new business being planned: it is too dignified.

I have communicated with my boss again in advance.

Anyway, change it.

At present, it has basically been determined. According to the naming rules of Yifubao, only one word has been changed, Yilibao.

The main obstacle to the project right now is two things, control rights and investment limits.

ICBC and some people at the higher level mean that ICBC itself needs to be involved. After all, it involves the funds of the general public, and it must be strictly supervised and no mistakes can be tolerated.

The meaning here is that it is precisely because of this that absolute control is guaranteed.

As for why...

I don't want someone to mess around with this money, and finally leave a mess and let the Yilibao team take the blame.

Supervision can be done in any way, as it should be.

but…

Being both a referee and a player, this kind of thing will never have any good results.

Anyway, even if the project is ultimately unsuccessful, Chen Qing does not intend to make concessions in this regard.

Then there is the investment limit.

Just the project concept of absorbing the scattered savings of the public for investment directly provokes the most sensitive nerve of all banks.

steal business!

However, the domestic public has accumulated massive savings funds, and many areas of the country are really short of funds. This is indeed a problem. If you can revitalize this part of the funds, it can solve too many things.

This is also the reason why the project can get the attention of some high-level people and give personal instructions to give it a try.

Otherwise, it is just the sensitive nerves of many banks, even ICBC itself, will not allow it.

Now, since the above is going to try, after all, the reform can only be recognized. However, since you said that this is a small amount of financial management, the amount must not be too large. ICBC, the initial agreed amount is 10,000 yuan.

This is too little.

Even in this era, 10,000 yuan households are still a popular term, but the upper limit of investment is only 10,000 yuan. According to the set annual interest rate range of 4% to 5%, users can get at most more than one yuan of income per day, which is inevitable. Some are not easy to arouse the public's investment enthusiasm.

Therefore, the proposal here is to increase the limit to 100,000.

The current 100,000-level deposits, even if they are not large customers, are a group of savings groups that many banks cannot ignore.

So it was also rejected.

As a result of today's discussion, there is a high probability of a compromise, with a limit of 50,000 yuan.

Chen Qing was still dissatisfied, but she also knew that this was the best result the Yifubao team could get, which was much stronger than the initial limit of 10,000 yuan.

The next thing that needs to be seen is control.

It's nothing to talk about.

Otherwise, this side might even simply hand over the entire project, and you ICBC will play it by yourself.

Thinking about how to solve this problem, the car parked outside a hotel in the XC area.

The door was opened, and Wu Shanlin personally greeted him.

Chen Qing changed her smile and said to Wu Shanlin, "Congratulations, Mr. Wu, this time we are going to break the record."

Wu Shanlin said with a smile: "It's still Mr. Chen, you are strategizing, we soldiers are just charging ahead."

This tone is full of Feng Dao style.

Chen Qing almost made a bet with Wu Shanlin that Feng Dao must be at the hotel at this time.

It does.

As in the past, Simon spoke in person this time, and Director Feng still made a cameo appearance in "Kung Fu", the boss of the Crocodile Gang who was killed at the beginning, and the classic filmmaker laughed at himself: "I can't do anything."

However, apart from Director Feng, the other main creators of "Kung Fu" are currently conducting roadshows in various places, and regrettably did not attend.

Therefore, there were only three tables for the celebration tonight, mainly the high-level executives of Jinshu and some core members of the group. It was just that everyone was too excited about the success of "Kung Fu", so they gathered together. After all, Westerners are party creatures, and there are various parties 365 days a year. On the Chinese side, even if it is considered a dinner party creature, everyone is also a 365-day-a-year party.

Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin came to a box, and they immediately greeted each other and complimented each other.

Chen Qing finally landed, with Wu Shanlin on one side and Ren Jingxi, who was also invited to join in the fun.

With Chen Qing's arrival, the dinner officially started.

After pushing the cup for a while, Ren Jingxi, who was sitting next to Chen Qing, made one thing in advance: "What happened to that woman, the one with the same name as Bingbing?"

Chen Qing paused before remembering.

It should be the three sisters Dabingbing and Ma pretty who were randomly selected from the disco team by their own boss.

Because the girl had a chance to cry, and there was no fair competition, Chen Qing was very dissatisfied, so after she was left with Jin Shu, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Of course, also said hello in advance.

All three have been labeled, so Jin Shu is slightly inclined, but, of course, the most important thing is, don't mess around.

At this time, when Ren Jingxi mentioned it, Chen Qing was curious: "What's wrong?"

Ren Jingxi said: "Well, I used Xun Mei and the others to grab the film that Director Zhang produced, um, "Nightfall", I didn't grab it, and this time I came to me again, wanting "The Man in the Mountain" The heroine of The Dog, and the other two, don't stop, just hit me."

Chen Qing recalled and said with a smile: ""That Man and That Dog in That Mountain" is the book that everyone doesn't want?"

Ren Jingxi listened to Chen Qing's ridicule, and I was helpless.

The script they talked about was actually a change from a novel published in 1983, telling the story of a father and son who are a postman in the mountains.

After all, it should be a rural drama that was very popular in the West a few years ago.

However, compared with the various struggles and struggles of those rural daughters-in-law in the past, "The Man and the Dog in the Mountain" is very mainstream and warm. In short, at first glance, it is not the kind of subject that is expected to win awards. It is neither a mainstream commercial film nor can it win awards. Even if the director of the film is well-connected in the circle, the project budget is not high, and it has never been able to get investment before.

Then we came to Metrovision Media.

Ren Jingxi didn't like it either.

Unexpectedly, my father is very fancy.

It's actually easy to understand.

Talk about a father-son relationship.

Coupled with the director's investment of only 2 million, Ren Jingxi quickly agreed and is currently casting.
