Chapter 219 The Road to Rise (I)
January 21st.
There are still five days until New Year's Eve.
Five days later.
"Wing Chun" is released.
Cui Hao was angry.
The "Racing" that angered [Starlight Future] haunted me like a ghost.
"Wing Chun" was on the variety show "Daily Big Shot", and "Racing" was on the variety show "Our Movie"...
"Wing Chun" exposed the love affair of international superstar Zhen Jinfu, and "Racing" exposed the lead actor Bao Xiaomeng chatting with a certain actress late at night about the script of Moonlight, and aroused a lot of speculation about the actress.
certainly……
As a film artist, anger is not a bad thing.
He can inspire the greatest fighting spirit deep in people's hearts, making them want to push Ning Yongqiang, the director of "Racing", to the bottom of the quagmire.
"This is [Starlight Future]'s desperate move!"
"The more popular it is, the more it means that they have exhausted all their cards. They cannot lose this battle again!"
last year.
[Starlight Future] has been overwhelmed by [Shengshi Entertainment] for almost a whole year.
In the second half of last year, [Starlight Future] collapsed internally, artists fled in all directions, shareholders withdrew their shares one after another, and the stock plummeted.
Although the emergence of singer Ah K seems to have caused the stock price of [Starlight Future] to rise a bit, there is a limit after all...
[Starlight Future] urgently needs a hit movie to truly save the box office decline first.
What is a blockbuster movie?
For a movie like this now.
It's not a box office of 20 million, it's not a box office of 50 million, it's not even a box office of just over 100 million...
He must break 200 million!
In the office.
Li Yanhong looked at the growing popularity of "Racing" and the increasingly extreme comments made by director Ning Yongqiang on the Internet.
It once suppressed the popularity of their "Wing Chun".
but……
The more this happened, the calmer Li Yanhong became, and the more aware she was of [Starlight Future]'s determination to fight to the death!
[Starlight Future] is severely weakened. In order to win the box office of the New Year's Eve premiere, it has begun to use all its cards...
He is strong!
Let him be strong.
“How about the resources?”
"The resources are sufficient, and I am confident to spend with them. Among the major theater chains, our film schedule is nearly one-fifth more than that of "Racing"!"
"good!"
Cui Hao handed each piece of data to Li Yanhong.
After Li Yanhong read it, she nodded seriously. After briefly thinking about the possible changes that might occur next, she smiled.
She looked at Cui Hao.
She has always seen Cui Hao's hardships along the way.
He has talent!
Capital help!
He also has representative works and is famous in the film circle.
Now, there is only one opportunity left. As long as he takes this step and gets 200 million box office with "Wing Chun", he will be able to stand at the top of the sixth generation of directors.
Seventh year in the industry!
The total box office is close to 600 million!
Almost 100 million per year!
This impressive data is dazzling for any new director!
"Sister, this time, the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people are all on our side!" Cui Hao looked at the Internet and saw [Starlight Future] almost jumping over the wall to get resources for "Racing", and he was no longer angry in his heart.
There was only blazing fire in his eyes.
"How's it going with Director Deng?"
"I have already prepared the apprenticeship banquet. Teacher Deng is very satisfied. Tomorrow, at 3:18, it is an auspicious time to become my apprentice!"
"good!"
Li Yanhong nodded.
Looking at the cousin who left after finishing speaking.
My heart is filled with appreciation.
Along the way, she has gradually become an agent with the right to speak in [Shengshi Entertainment] from the lowest level of talent scout.
Although she is extremely capable, if she wants to reach a higher level, she will definitely need more strength and heavier capital!
The higher Cui Hao climbs and the higher her status in the Chinese director circle, the more stable she becomes!
Ten minutes after Cui Hao left, she took out her mobile phone and called Zhang Panpan.
On the phone...
She told Zhang Panpan that at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, there were quotas for red carpet actresses, and if she was willing to go, one would be reserved for her.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Panpan seemed a little shocked, and then started to get excited.
Then she briefly expressed concern about Zhang Panpan's situation in a calm tone.
Of course, it's not very deliberate, it's just an ordinary, simple greeting.
She felt the other person's confusion.
Then, Li Yanhong hung up the phone.
In fact, after signing Zhang Panpan, she has always been very optimistic about Zhang Panpan.
She feels that she is a very malleable and good young talent with fire potential.
but……
His personality is full of extremes, his mind is full of success in one step, and he is even self-righteous in his bones...
She doesn't like this kind of personality.
Therefore, training is needed!
Even a knife needs a whetstone to sharpen it!
She must endure hardship!
She must also know what the cruel reality is, and what she owns and is proud of is worthless in this circle.
She had to be pushed to the bottom, stepped on by everyone, and then her fantasies were shattered one by one, and she felt disappointment and even the deepest pain...
Then, all hopes were dashed one by one!
The increasing pressure, contempt, and desires from within the circle made her feel desperate!
She had no way to ask for help, and then, she was left alone, and she was left alone!
If she can't hold on, she can pay a high penalty and leave, which is also an income for the company.
If she can't hold on, she can compromise, use her body to exchange resources, and then stand up step by step...
She held on, but she didn't want to take these two steps, just endure, endure painfully...
Then...
Li Yanhong will take appropriate action, and then pull her out of the abyss!
This is the most primitive way to control animals, and it can also be used to control people!
After making a phone call and finishing other arrangements, Li Yanhong looked at the box office data of "That Summer".
When the paper was spread out little by little, and then she saw the box office data of 4 million on the premiere day, she didn't feel surprised!
"That Summer" will have no problem making a small profit...
Ke Zhanchi is a talented director. In fact, she wanted to dig him a long time ago.
Unfortunately, during that time, all her energy and resources were invested in Cui Hao, and finally [Starlight Future] got the advantage.
But...
It doesn't matter...
[Starlight Future] is now at the end of its strength!
Just need!
Another shot!
………………………………
Ke Zhan Chi is insomniac again.
He can’t fall asleep no matter how he looks at the box office data.
Four million box office.
It’s much worse than the box office of “Youth in its prime” which broke 10 million on its premiere.
But…
It’s within reason.
“Youth in its prime” has capital support, and with the market vacancy, the competition itself is not that fierce…
Breaking 10 million!
It’s not a surprise, it can only be said to be a surprise.
Similarly.
The 4 million of “That Summer” is actually within reason.
January 21st.
After the premiere of “That Summer”, Ke Zhan Chi still followed A K and others to promote the movie all over the country.
[Starlight Future] has limited resources, and basically all its strength is poured into the competition between “Racing” and “Wing Chun”, which is destined to make the variety shows and media channels for “That Summer” extremely limited.
Moreover, the 200,000 yuan of publicity expenses were all given to Zhang Sheng. In theory, [Starlight Future] no longer has the responsibility of publicity.
Noon.
Ke Zhan Chi saw the reputation of “That Summer”.
Among the art films on Douban, 320 people rated it: 8.5 points.
This score is naturally far from a "masterpiece", but it is a very good data.
However, there are still not many viewers who know about this movie.
"On New Year's Eve, "Wing Chun" and "Racing" competed with each other. We tried our best to ensure that "That Summer" would not be occupied by the scheduling resources, but if we want to expand it, it may not be possible!"
"We all see what you have done, and the leaders also see it. This movie is excellent, and you are also excellent. We all recognize you very much. After this movie is over, after we win this battle, we will give you more resources..."
"But now, I can only say sorry to you. I have wronged you, Director Ke!"
Ke Zhanchi received a call from Xu Shengnan.
On the phone, Xu Shengnan's voice was apologetic, and he affirmed "That Summer" and the efforts made by their teams.
But...
The focus of the entire company is always high and low.
"That Summer" is not abandoned, but it is also a sacrifice.
After Ke Zhan Chi answered the phone, although he could understand, his emotions were still full of disappointment and great unwillingness.
The emotion became stronger and stronger!
Of course, this is not the darkness before dawn.
They have light, but that light is not so shining. It is always looming, unable to bloom, and even more unable to shine!
Ke Zhan Chi sorted out his mood.
Continue to participate in the promotion of "That Summer".
………………………………
January 22.
The box office of "That Summer" on the second day came out.
The box office on the second day did not drop, but rose to 4.13 million.
It seemed to be unwilling and with a strong desire to survive!
A set of data appeared in Zhang Sheng's hands.
The average national attendance rate of "That Summer" was 75%!
This is a very amazing attendance rate!
Zhang Sheng looked at the data...
Nodded with satisfaction.
He talked to Ke Zhan Chi on the phone.
Ke Zhan Chi was also very happy on the phone.
However, his throat was a little hoarse, as if he had a cold.
He ran from the severe cold in the north to the warmth in the south...
Under the huge temperature difference, coupled with the fatigue of the past few days, he finally caught a cold.
After hanging up the phone with Ke Zhanchi...
Zhang Sheng took out a piece of information and carefully analyzed which office building and which floor was suitable.
[NC Studio].
It will be upgraded to NC Entertainment soon, and the business license has just been replaced.
Just at this time...
The phone rang.
It was Bi Feiyu who rang!
"Mr. Zhang! I sent you a copy of the overseas box office data!"
"There are box office overseas too?"
"Yes! I was also shocked. I thought that in France, we were just paying for publicity and making a gimmick. I didn't expect that there were still a few fans watching! Elaine, the owner of the Cellu Cinema, even called us and said that she would hold on until the last audience watched it before closing down!"
"Huh?"
