Fang Zhe smiled silently after hanging up the phone. Liszt was a very interesting guy. If you push him now, you can save a lot of trouble in the settlement of the next operation. The settlement platform for large transactions is in the hands of others. This
This time he was making trouble in the United States, so Fang Zhe had to be more cautious. It was helpless to say the least. When his country was not the world's leader, he had to be manipulated.
Marilyn's call came in. Fang Zhe took a look and answered: "Boss, today is the premiere, do you want to attend?"
"Forget it if you attend, I don't like to show off." Fang Zhe refused without thinking much. Marilyn said with a pink tone on the phone: "Angelina Jolie is in the office. Do you want to come over and meet her? Or let her
answer the phone?"
Fang Zhe didn't want to see her at first, but when he thought of this woman's remarks about "Syrian people getting freedom," he wanted to educate her.
"Okay!" A few seconds after agreeing, Angelina's voice was heard on the other side of the phone: "Fang, I'm very nervous now. This is the first blockbuster movie I've starred in. I..."
"Let's wait until the box office comes out. Now your task is to work hard to promote it. If this movie makes money, your salary for the next movie will satisfy you. If the movie loses money, you still have to make a big movie for me.
Production and remuneration remain as usual."
Fang Zhe's voice was not loud and her speech was slow, but Angelina on the other side of the phone couldn't even breathe properly. Is this a promise for the second blockbuster? This Chinese-American boss means what he says, and she knows this.
.
"Mr. Fang, please rest assured that I will try my best to work hard for my future."
Fang Zhe smiled and hung up the phone. He believed this. Who would work hard for something that is not beneficial?
Wu Mingzhu knocked on the door and came in: "Today is the premiere of a big production, don't you want to go and see the scene?"
Fang Zhe smiled and shook his head: "I'm not interested. I don't care about these things. You can go if you want. There are more pressing things at the moment. By the way, did Marilyn do any publicity on Must Die?"
"I did it. I've been talking about two million US dollars for advertising." Wu Mingzhu asked curiously. Fang Zhe lowered his head and thought for a moment. It's not that ticket replenishment cannot be done. The key is that there is no such channel in the United States now. Order online.
Issues like tickets are difficult to resolve through channels.
"I have an idea. Please help me see if I can do it." Fang Zhe asked the two women to sit down and chat. After probably coming up with the idea of online ticket purchase and ticket reimbursement, the two of them fell silent.
"Technically there is no problem, but how do you plan to make a profit?" Wu Mingzhu said very realistically, this is the United States.
Fang Zhe raised his head and sighed. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It is really impossible to do things like ticket subsidy when the company has not yet been listed. Another point is that he doesn’t know if there will be any legal problems. It is better to wait for the domestic Internet industry in the future.
Do it when you feel up.
"Then let's set up an event, an official lottery organized by Must Die. Let's contact the theater and get a verification code. With the verification code, we can go to the theater to receive free movie tickets. Is this no problem?"
Wu Mingzhu nodded this time and said: "This is no problem, it just needs to invest a little money. The theater chain should be willing to cooperate. But we have to set a certain threshold, and we need Pinnacle Pictures to cooperate in publicity. There is another problem.
, I’m worried that film critics will find fault with it and say what it wants to buy at the box office.”
"Associate this lottery event with film critics, ask them to register an account at Feidu, and then write a film review at Feidu. It's not specific to a certain movie, it's the type of asking film critics to open columns. You can do this.
Be responsible and must die. Registration has been fully opened. We must keep the momentum of that Twitter going."
When Wu Mingzhu mentioned this, she became excited and immediately got into work mode: "Okay, I will go to work now. In terms of funds, how much do you prepare?" Fang Zhe thought for a while: "Let's start with 10 million. In the early days of the Internet, that's it.
It’s a costly business.”
Yun Jue did not express her position on the sidelines. When Fang Zhe finished speaking, she smiled and said: "I will ask the finance department to give money to those who must die."
The two of them cooperated very well, mainly because they saw huge prospects.
While Fang Zhe was fast asleep at night, Marilyn stayed up late in the office waiting. The first-day box office is really important for this big production. For this movie, all the early publicity was invested.
It’s 10 million, and we still have to see the specific response in the future. If the box office is good on the first day, then we will continue to spend money on promotion.
The response at the premiere seemed to be very good. Marilyn returned to the company and was waiting for a call. What she was wondering about was why Boss didn't care at all? This is a big production. Make a movie.
Is it really profitable? Of course, you will lose money very quickly. Movies are actually very risky.
No one can guarantee that a movie will make money, but Pinnacle Pictures is so magical. So far, Pinnacle Pictures has not had a single movie that has lost money, and the rest is about making more money. The six major companies had already focused on Pinnacle Pictures.
The situation improved after Boss introduced capital. Otherwise, Fox would have taken action long ago.
Ding ding ding, the ringing of the phone woke up Marilyn who was dozing off. She sat up straight and quickly picked up the phone: "Yeah, um, okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Marilyn looked calm, walked to the wine cabinet, and poured herself a glass of wine: "I'm so stupid, really. I actually doubted Boss's judgment, haha, no wonder Boss wasn't worried at all.
"
With a bang, the office door opened, and an excited Doug Liman rushed in, followed by the two leading actors.
"If you want to celebrate, please go out and don't dirty the sofa in the office. Boss likes that sofa the most." Marilyn looked at the people who rushed in very calmly and smiled while speaking loudly.
It was obvious that she had said it too late, the champagne was already being sprayed. Marilyn lowered her head and covered her face: "Damn it!"
The box office on the first day was 33.3 million. Based on this box office, this movie will definitely not lose money.
The next day, in theaters owned by major theater chains, there was an extra queuing place at the bar, a table, a computer, and a verification code. Those who queued up could receive a free movie ticket.
Fang Zhe wore a mask and was followed by two bodyguards. After taking a look at the scene, he turned his mouth in disgust. The Americans were obviously ahead in the Internet, but they were surpassed by the domestic ones. Online ticket sales,
Automatically collecting tickets and purchasing tickets independently are not technically difficult to implement.
A must-win lottery event had 100,000 winners on the first day. If you want to say that you were buying tickets at the box office, you had to buy the tickets with real money. And there were people who came to see them. In fact, in the United States, box office tickets are a very rare thing.
Not new.
Fang Zhe walked out of the theater and took out the phone from his pocket: "It's me."
"Boss, the activities held by the theater chain are really great. I never thought of the lottery. The lottery lasted for ten days and brought not only one million winners, but also a huge influence. Look.
After the movie, half of the people expressed their feelings about watching the movie on Must Die, which is a huge booster for the movie's box office. Boss, you are a genius!"
