Chapter 63 Looking for a Director (1)
Bingfeng's success made Li Xianyun realize his problems and changed the original company's operating methods in a timely manner.
This is how things are done. Things are always developing. The original successful system may gradually fail to keep up with the new situation, so changes must be made.
By the end of May, the box office of Bingfeng had exceeded 400 million, and it seemed that 600 million could not be stopped.
Several bosses must have made money.
Forget it, Boss Cao, he is a pure loss.
But that was caused by your literary and artistic feelings. Li Xianyun didn't accept this account. At worst, he could make another literary film for you. Boss Cao also expressed his approval.
At this time, the editing of Po Junxing and other films was completed and submitted for review was almost completed.
Sitting in the office today, Li Xianyun took her mobile phone and started posting to Moments.
"Pojun marching will be launched on the National Day holiday!"
Li Xianyun rarely posts to Moments, but this time he was an exception. Not only that, he also tagged many friends.
Putting down his phone, Li Xianyun looked at the company's report calmly.
About half an hour later, the phone rang.
After looking at the name on it, Li Xianyun smiled slightly.
He answered the phone: "Xiaoxiao, why are you interested in calling me?"
Li Xiaoxiao sighed: "I should congratulate you on the fact that Pojunxing is going online, but... you really dare to fight Sheng Da."
"Oh, you mean Yehuo. Haven't I said hello to you?" Li Xianyun smiled.
There is a big production called Yehuo, which was also launched during the National Day holiday. It was directed by Shengda Media, and the heroine is Li Xiaoxiao.
Invested 250 million.
Hearing Li Xianyun's words, Li Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "As soon as your movie comes out, our lives will be hard."
"No, my movies have no box office of more than 700 million." Li Xianyun began to be modest.
"That's because the investment is small. But Pojunxing is different." Li Xiaoxiao knew Pojunxing's investment, which was the largest production made by Yisheng Media so far.
With their level, it is not a big problem to break one billion in a single unit.
"Hope, maybe it will be a mess." Li Xianyun calmly said: "This is the film and television industry. My most profitable film should actually be considered a secret matter in the ghost city, and even the promotion and distribution are not even over ten million."
"But it is not an industry practice after all." Li Xiaoxiao said: "Shengda asked me to ask you, can you change the schedule?"
Hearing this, Li Xianyun smiled.
Sure enough, Li Xiaoxiao still told Sheng Da about his warning, otherwise Sheng Da would not have asked her to ask.
Li Xianyun didn't mind, who was not serving himself? He said directly: "Reset the schedule? If it is changed, it will be the Spring Festival period. I remember that Shengda also had films in the Spring Festival period. Not only them, but also Jin Li, Linglan and Jingyuan will have a big production online."
"But there are also many viewers in the Spring Festival."
"You know this doesn't matter to me." Li Xianyun replied.
As he once said, in addition to making money, there is also status!
In the Spring Festival, Li Xianyun may be more willing to win the first place in the box office of 1.8 billion in the National Day holiday, first dominate in the small field and then compete in the big field.
If you want to make money, you have to compete for industry leaders.
This seems to be a false reputation, but in the hands of entrepreneurs, it can be transformed into real profits.
This is no joke. The annual net profit of Dameng Pictures was only more than 20 million, but its valuation was more than 500 million. Why?
Because at that time they were the leaders of the Internet industry!
A leading position directly greatly improves one's own value. Whether it is going outside to discuss cooperation or financing, it is beneficial to tell stories. What do you tell if there is nothing?
Without the rise of Yisheng Media, Jasmine Company would not have signed such a cooperation agreement with them.
Li Xianyun's Pojunxing was not sure to win the first place in the Spring Festival period. In a sense, he would rather go to the National Day period with a smaller intensity.
But now Li Xiaoxiao asked him to reschedule it in one sentence, which is not very good.
Li Xiaoxiao also knew that this was a little difficult for Li Xianyun, so she thought for a while and said, "Just treat it as doing me a favor, I owe you."
She didn't know what method to persuade Li Xianyun, so she had to use favors to speak.
After thinking about it, Li Xianyun said, "I am not very satisfied with your performance in bed. Every time I think it's you who plays with me."
He made an exception and said this on the phone.
Li Xiaoxiao burst out laughing: "Then I'll let you play well next time to satisfy your dignity."
"Okay, Pojunxing has changed the Spring Festival period. But I can't stop playing the film. Let's do this. My children's film, which is the main animal, will be scheduled for the National Day period. This film will be invested 6 million. If you can't beat it, it will not be my problem."
"Finish!" Li Xiaoxiao agreed immediately.
The Special Operations Team was late in shooting, but it was fast in shape, mainly because it was simple and easy to make.
But Li Xiaoxiao would not have thought that this was the movie Li Xianyun really wanted to appear.
Just when Li Xiaoxiao was about to hang up the phone, Li Xianyun suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, do you think it is possible for me to invite Zhang Damu to be the director for me?"
"You? Please Zhang Damu?" Li Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Don't you all directed by yourself?"
"Oh, the company has grown too fast in the past two years. Po Junxing invested 400 million yuan. The subsequent Super English trilogy has a total of 1 billion yuan, and the single piece is 330 million yuan. My directorial level is a bit unsatisfied with the company's development, and my energy does not allow me to always devote myself to this aspect..." Li Xianyun said directly: "Tell me, I'm a little unconfident."
Originally, Li Xianyun wanted to direct it himself, but the situation of the sixth part of the platter made Li Xianyun wake up and knew that he was not as awesome as he thought.
The investment in the Super Ying series trilogy is too big, and Li Xianyun doesn't want it to be a mess. He has so many things to do to do, and the company is developing faster and faster. Li Xianyun is gradually becoming more and more adept at the position of boss, and the consequence is that he pays more and more attention to company affairs.
As soon as Chaoying started filming, it may not be able to take care of the company's affairs for half a year, so it is indeed not suitable.
So Li Xianyun thought about whether to invite Zhang Damu to direct his plot, although it was a problem, but the aesthetics were really awesome. The plot was weak and he could intervene. Zhang Damu had to come to the aesthetics.
"Last time he killed the god, he was still resting at home. Of course, it's not that no one is looking for him. The key is that he will never fight." Li Xiaoxiao sighed.
It is not the first time that the film directed by Zhang Damu has suffered losses, but a great man is a great man. No matter how much he loses, countless people still recognize him as his status.
Some people admit that Zhang Damu's airs are still there.
Just like every indulging artist will be obsessed with the glory of the past.
Zhang Damu still has a film contract and the price is still high.
Li Xianyun is so "stingy", Zhang Damu may not be willing to direct it for him.
Li Xianyun also knew his problem. He really couldn't offer too high prices for Zhang Damu, so he sighed and said, "The director's fee is 30 million or 5 million plus 5% of the profit share."
It's not very high indeed.
Zhang Damu's single film pay is 20 million, and even if the trilogy is discounted, it will take 40 to 50 million to make sense.
"I'll ask for you." Li Xiaoxiao said.
A day later, Li Xiaoxiao replied: Zhang Damu asked for a pay of 8 million yuan plus a box office share of 5%.
Chapter completed!
