Ning Shibin, deputy director of operation Office of Optimus film and television under Optimus group, is studying recent media reports.
A month ago, he parachuted from the group headquarters to serve as vice president of operations.
In the eyes of others, this is the first step for him to start pragmatic gilding.
In fact, there are some factors in this regard, but there is another reason that is inconvenient to say - with the help of the resource advantages of Optimus film and television, in terms of film and television dramas, it is positive to suppress cute people and avenge breaking appearances.
"Crazy Stone", which is in full swing recently, is his first goal.
He once proposed at the high-level meeting that the schedule of the company''s film instant kill be advanced to the end of July to challenge and face-to-face with the stone at the same time. As a result, most high-level officials unanimously opposed it.
The grudge between Optimus and cute people is actually just the contradiction between Ning Shibin and Mai Xiaoyu inside Optimus, and Ning Shibin can''t be a home in Optimus. Optimus film and television is also unwilling to take risks, disrupting the company''s long-established plan.
In case of box office failure, it doesn''t matter if you are Ning''s family. How do we senior wage earners explain?
"A group of mediocre old guys who don''t want to make progress!"
When his proposal was rejected, Ning Shibin couldn''t help cursing in his heart.
In his opinion, crazy stone, a small budget film with an investment of 3 million, dares to be released in the gap between Star Wars 2 and spider man at the end of July. Why dare instant kill with an investment of 25 million!
Spirit, momentum, where is it!
"President Ning, Meng Ren''s film investment is only 3 million, and the box office pressure is small," explained Zhang Ruilin, an assistant in his forties.
Zhang Ruilin is an old man with rich experience in the operation Department. This time Ning Shibin came down to be pragmatic and gilded. His father specially asked Zhang Ruilin to escort him.
Zhang Ruilin''s analysis is very reasonable.
For domestic films, producers can generally get 33% of the total box office.
In other words, as long as the box office of "stone" exceeds tens of millions, cute people will not lose.
This does not include derivative income such as advertising sponsorship, DVD sales, film collection of six CCTV film channels, network copyright and so on.
Compared with the box office, these revenue sources account for a small proportion, but the cost of stone is only 3 million!
On the other hand, in instant kill, the investment is 25 million, and only when the box office exceeds 75 million can we not lose money. The pressure is much greater than that of stone.
The goal of this film is to break the box office by 100 million. The executives of Optimus film and television are naturally unwilling to take risks. Moreover, domestic box office performance and reputation are also related to the arrangement of overseas films.
Ning Shibin recognized Zhang Ruilin''s analysis, but he was not satisfied. He didn''t do anything while watching the publicity of "stone" and then released... A little unwilling.
The grass-roots company is the grass-roots company. It is always a low-cost film. Don''t you dare to be atmospheric?
Three million investment, three million investment
"Lao Zhang, the recent publicity momentum of stone is not small. How much do you estimate the cost?"
This is the anomaly found by Ning Shibin after studying media reports recently.
The investment of stone in publicity is much higher than that of I believe.
Although it started with the help of screenwriter a Zheng, conventional means such as trailers, posters, various publicity props, small-scale auditions for cinemas and media have declined. Add in digital copies, cinema advertising, public relations fees, and so on.
"Five million."
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Ruilin nodded: "I mentioned it when the media reported."
"Three million to make a film and five million to publicize..."
Ning Shibin tilted his mouth and smiled proudly.
……
Ning Shibin is preparing to "snipe" the film produced by Mengren film and television. Mai Xiaoyu doesn''t know it. He is enjoying the gentle hometown from a foreign country.
July 12th.
A three-star hotel in Yanjing.
In the deluxe big bed business room, Mai Xiaoyu lies in bed with a smile on his face and appreciates the beauty in his arms.
"What are you looking at? You ran away when you came to visit me. You didn''t go to the movies with me last night. You liar knew to intoxicate me!" Quan Zhixian pouted and looked like a "savage girlfriend".
Last month, Mai Xiaoyu invited Quan Zhixian and Che Taixian to visit the crew of pink girl in the name of visiting ah Zheng. However, when Quan Zhixian arrived, he found that Mai Xiaoyu never showed up.
It was not until yesterday that my savage girlfriend was officially released in China. Quan Zhixian, who came to China to brush a circle of popularity, was ready to return to South Korea that Mai Xiaoyu took the initiative to contact her.
After scolding Mai Xiaoyu on the phone, Quan Zhixian offered to go to the cinema to see my savage girlfriend. As a result, Mai Xiaoyu refused.
What''s good?
Hailian cinema introduced my savage girlfriend in the mode of film approval. No matter how the film box office in China, it has nothing to do with him. Hailian cinema has bought out the domestic copyright at the price of 5 million Chinese dollars.
Mai Xiaoyu''s proposal is... Drinking is to see her off.
Quan Zhixian did not refuse this wonderful way of seeing off.
After they finished drinking, something happened naturally.
Quan Zhixian is different from Wang Chuhan. Mai Xiaoyu has no scruples. As long as he avoids the media and is not found by reporters.
He pinched Quan Zhixian''s cheek: "were you really drunk last night? Don''t remember what happened?"
"Don''t pinch my face!" Quan Zhixian muttered, patted Mai Xiaoyu on the forehead, then shrunk into his arms and adjusted his comfortable posture, "do you miss me?"
"Didn''t I answer with practical action last night?"
Quan Zhixian rolled his eyes: "then why don''t you ever call me?"
"You didn''t call me either."
"I''m a girl, okay?"
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"No." Quan Zhixian took the initiative to kiss Mai Xiaoyu on the lips, "I think it''s good."
The love behavior of young artists is strictly controlled by the brokerage company, and many of them will be written into the contract. Once the love or marriage of idol stars is exposed, it is likely to cause a fatal blow and greatly reduce their popularity.
Mai Xiaoyu also felt that it was good for the two to maintain their current relationship, but deliberately pretended to be injured and cheated Quan Zhixian of comfort.
After the two became intimate for a moment, Quan Zhixian pushed him away breathlessly: "don''t move, I just want to lie quietly in your arms. You know, after the film was released, I ranked first in the survey of" the most beautiful people in spring cosmetics "; and in the questionnaire survey of the film monthly screen, I was selected as an" actress responsible for Korean films in 2002 ". I didn''t dare think before."
"But you did it now, didn''t you?"
"Yes, I didn''t expect to be cheated by you in the bar last year, which actually changed my fate..."
"Who lied to you!"
Mai Xiaoyu slapped the beauty on the hip. Quan Zhixian refused to suffer and bit him on the chest.
"One more thing, you give me ah Zheng''s contact information, otherwise I can''t pay the company back."
"Your company still beat him to pay attention?" Mai Xiaoyu smiled. "Ah is my best friend. Just contact me. Your company has no hope. However, your company and I can continue to cooperate..."
Quan Zhixian opened his eyes: "am I the heroine?"
Mai Xiaoyu slapped her on the hip angrily: "with your current popularity, do you still need it?"
"Hum, I''m going back. Pack up my things and go home tomorrow."
Quan Zhixian sat up with his pink cheeks puffed, opened the quilt to reveal the boundless spring light, and was ready to go to the bathroom to take a bath.
Mai Xiaoyu pulled her back to his arms: "how about a farewell souvenir..."
