After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 427 The art of compromise, an unprecedented money-making giant!

"Brother, can you issue me some tickets? I'll mobilize my fans to increase the box office..." Liu Shishi said with a slightly red face, as if increasing the box office was something difficult to talk about.

"There's not much you can watch. The screening schedule is so annoying. They're all in the morning. If I could watch it, I would have done it a long time ago." Li Mingyang shook his head.

"Isn't the Cat's Eye yours? Can't you change the time? Just like your name." Liu Shishi asked puzzledly.

"In the past, Maoyan was the only one in the market, but now there are too many ticketing software on the market, and it can't be changed."

Liu Shishi sighed, squatted down, and looked sad.

"The Witch didn't do well at the box office, but it doesn't matter. I'll make another one for you later." Li Mingyang squatted down and stopped Liu Shishi

's shoulder, coaxing.

Liu Shishi was quite unhappy at first, but when Li Mingyang hugged her, she suddenly felt warm in her heart and was about to throw herself into Li Mingyang's arms.

After hugging for only three seconds, Li Mingyang said, "You shouldn't feel sad now, right? Don't hug me for too long, because many people will come soon."

“……” Liu Shishi let go of Li Mingyang and stood up.

Li Mingyang stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble with them. Since you are not filming during this period, I will take you to the Bund for a stroll tomorrow."

"No... I'm tired."

Liu Shishi forced a smile, walked to the elevator and pressed the up button.

The air suddenly fell silent.

Ding!
The elevator door opens again.

Liu Shishi walked into the elevator.

Turning around and looking at the corridor outside the elevator, Li Mingyang waved goodbye to her.

Liu Shishi lowered her head and ignored Li Mingyang.

When the elevator was about to close, Liu Shishi raised her head and looked towards the corridor, but Li Mingyang was gone.

She felt that Li Mingyang had changed...

Although Li Mingyang wore sunglasses for a long time, Liu Shishi could always feel that Li Mingyang was looking at her.

But now...

Li Mingyang just faced her, but she didn't feel any attention at all.

Liu Shishi took out her cell phone and flipped through the text messages boredly.

When The Witch was released, everyone she knew sent her a text message of congratulations, even Jing Tian was no exception.

But now these blessing messages are so glaring.

Although she didn't have any pursuit for box office results at the beginning, it's really embarrassing that the box office is so bad...it hurts so much.

Liu Shishi sighed quietly, "I feel like I'm almost becoming a sighing baby."

Just as she was about to turn off her phone, it vibrated with a new WeChat message.

I clicked on it and saw it was sent by Liu Xinyuo.

"Shishi, I'm in the Magic City. Are you busy now?"

Liu Shishi didn't want to go back.

Although everyone has their own values ​​in choosing a partner, they should be respected.

But Liu Xinyuo kept harassing her, which was very annoying.

I always like to move my hands and feet...

Liu Shishi turned off her cell phone, walked out of the elevator, and after a few steps, she turned on her cell phone again.

"It seems that Sister Youyou is the only one that the bad brother was tempted by. He even molested Sister Youyou in the cinema and said that you are mine..."

"How on earth did she do that?"

The bad brother often touches her intentionally or unintentionally and hugs her waist, but he can't touch her himself and he makes her angry.

It was obvious that he had bad intentions, but he just touched her and made her feel something, so he didn't care...

Liu Shishi felt that if she continued to be hung like this, her brain would be damaged. She gritted her teeth and sent a WeChat message back to Liu Xinyu.

I am going to ask Liu Xinyu for advice on how to make my bad brother tempted by my beauty and stick to it.

……

"Hey... please don't try to inflate the box office! It's my fault that Douban hasn't released the score yet... The media only criticizes and doesn't praise, and I paid for it too."

Li Mingyang watched the elevator door close and murmured softly.

He then walked towards where the crew was.

The layout of each floor of the Bouquet Hotel is slightly different, but in fact the general framework above the 4th floor is the same, with fifty rooms on each floor.

It's just that the original boss was too cruel. He built a lot of gypsum board partitions and was so crazy that he even turned the corridors into rooms.

The 21st floor is the most outrageous. Except for the load-bearing walls, all other walls are made of gypsum board.

Li Mingyang found a construction team, and after demolishing most of the walls, it became a dedicated interior shooting location.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mingyang took over today's shooting plan from Lao Wu and studied the shooting process.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the shooting officially began.

With the support of a large behind-the-scenes team, the filming went on smoothly.

At around five in the morning, we finished today’s shooting.

Boss Zhao sat in the corner the whole time, supervising the filming.

When the work was over, she stood up and came to Li Mingyang, "Director Li, are you tired? If not, let's talk about something."

Li Mingyang nodded, feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Boss Zhao has incredible connections in Hangzhou. If she is willing to help, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!

But the price is also very high! Boss Zhao is a very smart man.

This is also the reason why Li Mingyang, Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao were unwilling to contact her actively. The three of them were expecting her to bring up this matter on her own initiative.

However, Boss Zhao did not mention the film and television cultural village.

She was more concerned about what would happen to the people in Mingyang Entertainment after Li Mingyang left.

"You don't have to worry about that." Li Mingyang said lightly.

"You may not realize that the most important reason why you can devote yourself to creation is that they help you take on all the tasks except creation... When you go to Hollywood, it is impossible to bring all of them with you. If you don't bring them, they will definitely poach you," said Boss Zhao.

"It's not like I won't come back, and I can afford to support them."

"People's hearts are fickle. What if the people who poached them are those big directors, or even China Film?"

Li Mingyang suddenly smiled, "I never mind if they have a better future. You said this because you want to poach people. If you have the ability, go ahead and poach them."

"Poaching people is so ugly! Lend it to me and I'll pay you."

"I will think about it."

"Do you know why that piece of land was given to Yinghuang?" Boss Zhao adjusted his glasses and took the initiative to mention the land.

"Maybe it's clearer."

"I don't know why you fought for that piece of land, but that piece of land is so good to you. The reason why Youfeng Film and Television City is profitable is that Dali is very friendly to you. The local government only took 30% of the shares and gave you 70%."

Boss Zhao laughed and said, "Zheguang also has a share in the land in Hangzhou. I happen to know some inside information. That land will be controlled by a state-owned enterprise like Shanghai Disneyland, with a proportion of at least 70%."

Li Mingyang was slightly stunned. "70%? Robbery!"

"It was originally more than 70%. With two companies competing, I estimate it will be increased to 80%. Don't think I'm kidding... I guess you still don't understand the value of that piece of land... That piece of land has a total of more than 1300 acres, and there are also a lot of residential land. Every inch of land is worth a fortune."

“How much residential land?”

"About 400 acres."

Li Mingyang took a deep breath. More than 27 acres is equivalent to 37 square meters, which is about the size of football fields!
"I calculated that if it was darker, I could build 70 buildings, but I didn't fight for it in the end. Do you know why?"

"Because you have nothing to fight for. Huace has no stars and no works."

Boss Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Because it doesn't make money!"

"You're talking nonsense... Wait, can residential properties only earn 20% of the profit?"

"You said it's a 20% return, but you forgot that you still have to pay taxes... You have to pay % to % off, and then you still have to bear huge debts!"

"Fuck!" Li Mingyang couldn't help but swear.

This is not black anymore...

"Does Yinghuang know all this?" Li Mingyang asked.

"know."

"This is too much of a rip-off. This is just working for nothing, but Yinghuang is still begging for it!"

When Boss Zhao heard what Li Mingyang said, he looked at him strangely and said, "Why do I feel like you don't understand anything?"

"How can I have the time to understand? I just heard it from Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao! They have a vested interest in me, so they won't lie to me!"

"They don't know either...then they are probably kept in the dark. Come on, I'll show you some information."

Ten minutes later, Li Mingyang saw the information about the land and Yinghuang's investment plan in Boss Zhao's room.

My goodness, this cultural village is actually a cultural construction project led by Secretary SW!
"The higher-ups take this very seriously, and it's almost impossible to mess around, but Yinghuang still doesn't give up. I can only think of one possibility... The Hong Kong industry is in a period of transition, and it's not as good as before. Yinghuang wants to take root in the mainland, and those famous Hong Kong stars won't let him control them. Yinghuang needs fresh blood from the mainland, and his real goal is the Film and Television Culture Academy."

"Can the three major colleges agree?"

"Haha, your Dean Zhang from Beijing Film Academy has been very close to Yinghuang recently, and Zhao Dashan is also very active."

Zuo Shandiao wanted to break through the restrictions imposed by Hong Kong circles on mainland films.

Bring in Boss Yang and Jiang Wen, form a big plan, use the Academy Awards as a starting point, tear off the last fig leaf of the Hong Kong circle, and shatter the last stubbornness of the Hong Kong circle.

Boss Yang plans to build Yinghuang College in the mainland to create a bridgehead for the Hong Kong circle in the mainland. He will use the influence of Hong Kong stars to attract mainland students, cultivate the future of the Hong Kong circle, and reproduce the style of the golden age of the Hong Kong circle.

Many of the stars in Hong Kong’s golden age came from the mainland!

For example, Liu Jialing, Liming, Li Lianjie, Wu Mengda...

Yinghuang has been cultivating talents from the mainland and bringing them into the Hong Kong circle, and there are successful precedents!
Shirahama!

With Shirahama as a living signboard...big things can be accomplished!

Li Mingyang suddenly understood why Zuoshandiao was pushing Baibin so hard.

Not some mistress.

There is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry. But there are huge interests involved!

"Nimma! Is this their exchange of interests? "

Li Mingyang spoke without any context, but Boss Zhao understood immediately and said slowly: "You can see the key point right away, very good... They will not let you get this land."

I can't get it?

I didn’t get Yinghuang either!
Moreover, Yinghuang’s college strategy finally culminated in the Yinghuang Nanfang Performing Arts College, co-founded with Jinling Media College in my hometown.

The competent department is Southern Media!

"If that's the case, why did Hangzhou give us a chance?" Li Mingyang asked.

"Because the higher-ups are interested in training you, and your fame and influence fully qualifies you to compete."

Boss Zhao changed the subject, "But your personal influence cannot match that of Jackie Chan and Liu Dehua, so you have little hope of getting that piece of land... In the end, they just want to use you to lower the price."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong, but they just ignore it... They are so cruel to their own people, but so flattering to outsiders?!"

"Haha, we're all family, why differentiate between you and me?" Boss Zhao said with a sinister smile.

Li Mingyang was silent...

He suddenly realized why he always felt like he was being led by the nose every time he faced Boss Zhao.

This woman understands politics!

“The art of compromise?”

clap clap!

Boss Zhao clapped his hands and said with a genial smile, "It's good that you understand. Four words: the overall situation is the most important!"

"Who told you to tell me this, Han Sanping?"

"He can't order me around. He can't stay in that position for many more years... and you and I still have a long way to go... I told you so much not to make you give up, but to tell you the overall picture of this matter so that you don't take a detour. You count on Jia Yueting of LeTV, haha, it's really funny. He has no say in matters related to culture and tourism."

"..."

"The Witch and Transformers 3 were released on the same day, so the box office was definitely not ideal. But they didn't let you go, and they teamed up to suppress your screening schedule. They also issued a notice to spread rumors that The Witch was a horror movie, making the box office situation even worse. It's not just as simple as suppressing The Witch."

"They're attacking my box office appeal."

Boss Zhao nodded and said, "This piece of land must be finalized before October. If they don't hurry up and hit you now, what if the Witch relies on word of mouth and the box office rises, and you create a miracle again, they will have to pay a higher price to get that piece of land! A loss of several hundred million. Haha, if it were me, I would wish the Witch would die sooner!"

"The timing is not right... they have been preparing to hack me for a long time."

"Haha, so the witch will be even more miserable next."

Li Mingyang gave Boss Zhao a strange look, "You told me so much, you must not just want me..."

Boss Zhao smiled and said, "The person is yours. I'm just borrowing him for a while...someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"Gong Yu."

Li Mingyang frowned. It was normal for Boss Zhao to introduce Gong Yu to him. After all, Baidu was a shareholder of Huace.

But Gong Yu is doing well now, and Kiwi is catching up with Youku, which makes Lao Gu unable to sleep or eat.

"I don't want to see you for now."

"Well, tell me when you want to see it."

……

Just as Boss Zhao said, the witch is in even worse trouble next!

The next day, a high-definition pirated version of The Witch was launched on major pirated websites.

As a result, The Witch's box office performed even worse.

The box office took in less than two million on Sunday.

On July 7, the box office revenue for Transformers 25 during its first four days of the weekend was released.

Transformers 3 broke the midnight, first-day and single-day box office records on its release day.

The film grossed 6.9 million yuan in its first four days, breaking the 2 million yuan in If You Are the One 2.64's first four days.

It even broke the record of 2.8 million in the first seven days of "Avatar".

Become a well-deserved super giant in the mainland market.

What’s even more terrifying is that Transformers 3 achieved this world-shaking box office result despite the rampant high-definition piracy online.

The reasons for this are multifaceted. In addition to the fact that the number of screens in China has exceeded 9000, it is also because the 3D IMAX version of Transformers 3 is too attractive.

As the first attempt at 3D in the series, "Transformers 3" is far better than other 3D movies. Simply put, there are more robots, more battles, especially the Chicago Battle, which makes the audience excited and shocked.

The popularity of Transformers 3 has caused major cinemas across the country to secretly increase their screening schedules for Transformers 3. There are even many cinemas that only show Transformers 3 and do not even schedule 2D screenings on weekends.

On Sundays, it occupied 93% of the cinema schedules across the country.

The box office for the first four days of the 3rd season was 6.9 million yuan, topping the world!
The Witch's box office revenue in the first four days was less than 10 million.

Even so, all major cinema chains have implemented Zuo Shandiao's requirement of 5% screening commitment, otherwise it would be even lower.

I guess even Zuoshandiao himself didn't expect that transformation 3 would be so crazy!
Li Mingyang put the movie box office data table in his hand on the round table, picked up the red wine glass beside him and drank it all.

6.9 million in four days, that’s 11 years!

It's crazy.

Li Mingyang initially suspected that Transformer 3 used unlimited ticket subsidies.

In fact, it is of no use at all. The total ticket subsidy is only 100 million.

Real box office!
Even mainstream movies such as "Guo Mingyi", "Yang Shanzhou" and "Flying to the Sky" were "bundled" and "screened in pairs" to steal box office revenue!
The authorities originally wanted to use Hollywood blockbusters to open up the lower-tier markets, but now, they have created a huge mess...

Many netizens have speculated online whether Transformers 3 will become the first movie to break billion in the mainland film market.

Records are meant to be broken, but if Transformers 3 breaks billion, all domestic filmmakers will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

In the past, the first domestic movie to break the 15 billion box office was Monster Hunt in the summer of .

In 14, Transformers 20 was expected to break 2500 billion, but it fell short by million...

It’s not that it can’t be broken, but that it’s not allowed to be broken!
In order to prevent Transformers 3 from breaking 7 billion, China Film Group actually moved up the release date of Harry Potter to July 29th...

Will it succeed?

Definitely not!
In his previous life, Harry was beaten black and blue by Transformers 3, and the box office was just over million.

If it is released earlier, it will only get beaten harder and die more miserably.

Transformers 3 is truly the mainland film market, an unprecedented money-making behemoth!
If it weren't for the world's most profitable box office series, the last Harry Potter film, this year would have definitely been the global champion.

In the face of absolute power, all tricks and schemes are useless.

The 3D version of Transformers 3 is not afraid of high-definition piracy.

Douban scored 6.4 points, with average reputation, and netizens complained a lot, with a lot of one-star bad reviews, but the box office was explosive.

This is true in China and overseas as well, where word-of-mouth polarization is particularly serious.

Product placement, an incredible 71 product placements for brands, the most in any movie in the world, and also won the annual product placement championship.

Metersbonwe T-shirts, TCL color TVs, Lenovo computers, and Yili Shuhua milk... these Chinese companies also made a prominent appearance among them.

Although there were a large number of product placements in "Transformers 3", these placements did not cause any disgust among the audience, at least no one cursed while watching the movie.

In addition, there are also box office theft, rescheduling, 30-minute pre-screening ads, and 3dimax scalpers selling tickets...

Angry netizens and media outlets deconstructed Transformers 3, saying it was an American commercial product and cultural invasion, but few people paid attention.

Domestic and foreign media and film critics racked their brains to write short essays and attack the director of Transformers 3.

However, faced with various doubts and criticisms.

When Explosive Bay was interviewed by the media, he said: Making the audience happy is enough!

The understated counterattack and the explosive box office broke the defense of countless people.

Various problems that plague domestic filmmakers.

With Transformers 3, all of these are no longer a problem.

Transformers 3 is truly indestructible, anyone who touches it will die!
"The press conference is ready and can start at any time." Wang Changtian hung up the phone and said to Li Mingyang.

"How is Zuoshandiao now?" Li Mingyang asked with a smile.

"What else can he do? Now he can only rely on Harry Potter to snipe Transformers 3. If Transformers 3 breaks billion, he will just have to wait to step down!"

Harry has moved up the release date to July 7, so there is no room for witches to survive.

Li Mingyang never dreamed that the third movie would have such a terrible box office.

However, when he thought that Zuoshandiao was in a worse situation, Li Mingyang felt much better.

Li Mingyang pushed open the door and walked out. When he turned around, he saw Liu Shishi leaning against the corridor with her head lowered, lost in thought.

Liu Shishi heard the noise and looked up, "Brother, can you help me get the tickets and I can use my own money to boost the box office?"

Still obsessed with box office success...

"It's meaningless, a pure waste of money." Wang Changtian walked out of the room, raised his thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It's normal for a movie to fail at the box office. If one movie doesn't work, just make another one. Don't worry too much."

"But……"

"Okay, if we recognize you, you will have movies to shoot. If we don't recognize you, even if you are the leading actress and the box office exceeds 1 billion, we will not ask you to film." Wang Changtian said with a smile.

When Liu Shishi heard this, she realized that this was about Jing Tian.

He was still feeling unwilling at first, but his mood suddenly improved. He nodded obediently and stopped talking about the box office.

Wang Changtian is very disgusted with Jing Tian now, mainly because of Wanda.

Wanda suppressed the screening schedule of "Painted Walls", which was obviously targeting the light.

Although there are many ticketing software on the market, Maoyan belongs to Meituan, with a market share of over 60%, making it the undisputed ticketing leader.

If Lao Wang wants to maintain his position as the number one cinema chain and dominate the film industry, Maoyan is the biggest obstacle.

Unfortunately, Lao Wang can’t do anything about Maoyan, and Meituan is not just for show…

This will be a protracted tug-of-war.

The reason why Guangguang can become the new king of domestic entertainment is because of Maoyan.
