My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1252 Victory Celebration Banquet Part Two
Sitting at her desk, Lin Bao'er tossed her phone aside. She swung her arms back and forth more than twenty times to do some simple exercise before pulling out a document to look at.

She had only been with the company for a short time.

She didn't watch the Golden City Awards ceremony last night, but around 11 p.m., Song Lan sent her the results. She was quite excited to learn that director Chen Binglin had won Best Director.

This is the first time a director has won this award since she became the chairman of Tianyu Entertainment. How much value can such a director create for the company... If it were before, Lin Bao'er would have dared to imagine it, but now even she doesn't dare to think about it.

Because three of the directors who flopped during last year's summer and National Day film seasons had won Best Director awards, the market trend has changed.

Audiences don't care about the size of the production, the cast, or which famous director is behind it; they only care about the film itself.

Just like that big-budget summer blockbuster, if it were the same cast and director in the past, it would have easily grossed over a billion yuan at the box office, but it only made three or four hundred million yuan. The investors were devastated by the flop.

It seems that not long after this guy jumped, his wife married his driver.

Nowadays, big-name directors and star-studded casts only have a positive effect. If the film quality is good, then everything is OK. But if the film quality itself is problematic, even if the pre-sale box office is high, the film can be abandoned by the audience in a very short time.

The company has done this kind of analysis. In the past, if a movie had quality problems, as long as the cast was good, it could be delayed for at least ten days. During these ten days, the box office would not be affected. Even if the audience criticized it harshly, the investment could still make money, as long as there was a gimmick.

This won't work these days; the audience's reaction speed is too fast.

They're like special forces soldiers; the first batch of viewers who watched the movie online immediately and promptly influenced the choices of those who were planning to watch it.

No matter how big the production budget or how popular the star, their appeal can only be seen in the pre-sale box office. Once the movie is released, their true colors are immediately revealed, leaving the production company no time to react.

So now, directors who win awards again will remain the same if they don't have a good script; they'll just have more publicity material. But it's different for Best Actor... As long as Jin Kai's next projects are of high quality, he can build a reputation, just like Zhang You is now.

Despite having only written two screenplays, this guy has made an excellent impression on movie fans.

When "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was first released, many viewers went to see it because of the director's fame, which is precisely his influence and appeal. However, this kind of influence can quickly be exhausted if the quality of the movie is poor, but the quality of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" speaks for itself.

Some of these memes are still circulating online today.

The hype has definitely died down, but it's been almost four or five months since its release, and some netizens are still seeing clips from the movie on short video platforms and commenting on them, which undoubtedly proves its success.

Needless to say, The Truman Show received a perfect score of 10 from 100,000 moviegoers, and this film solidified its reputation in the hearts of movie fans.

Because she saw the benefits of a prestigious reputation in this guy, Lin Bao'er planned to make adjustments to the work arrangements for Shen Jiaming and Jin Kai, who won the Best Actor award last night.

We can no longer manage artists using the old entertainment company approach. We can't just let them take the role from whichever production company offers the most money. First, we have to make sure the script is fine before accepting the role. It's better to take fewer roles than to waste our talent on bad films.

Jin Kai has a much wider range of acting roles than Shen Jiaming.

This means that one must be careful when choosing roles. Shen Jiaming, on the other hand, doesn't care. As long as "Crazy Stone" is successful, the company will completely fix his acting career in comedy films. The market for this type of film has always been huge. In particular, comedy actors participating in variety shows will not reduce their mystique or affect the box office.

Because variety shows are essentially for entertainment, much like comedies. After reviewing several documents, she picked up her thermos, stood up from her chair, walked to the French windows, drank hot water, and gazed at the city bathed in the morning light.

At the shareholders' meeting, Lin Bao'er was in a great mood after witnessing the change in the shareholders' attitudes towards her.

At the same time, she felt incredibly relaxed, unlike before when, even when appreciating the scenery outside, she felt like there was a string taut in her mind, as if she was afraid something would snap.

In previous years, a net profit of one or two hundred million yuan per year seemed quite good, much better than many entertainment companies. However, for such a large company with such high operating costs, what could such a small profit possibly cover? A single misjudgment could lead to its complete collapse.

This year is different.

In addition to dividends to shareholders, the company has abundant cash flow. The key is that "Crazy Stone" will be released soon, and even if it's only a third of the investment, given Zhang Xiaoyou's track record, it shouldn't be a small amount.

In addition, The Voice has already recorded the seventh episode of its second season. At the rate of one episode per week, preparations for the third season should begin around mid-to-late March or early April.

This is another large sum of advertising revenue.

With each season's ratings higher than the last, the advertising sponsorship fee for the third season needs to increase by at least 20% compared to the second season. In addition, there's the upcoming album from Future Boys. In any case, the company's revenue and net profit will be very high throughout the first half of this year. The more Lin Bao'er thought about it, the happier she became.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, bathed in the soft morning light, Lin Bao'er turned her head.

Today, she was wearing a burgundy belted wool coat and two white mother-of-pearl earrings. Seeing Zhang You walk in, Lin Bao'er unscrewed her thermos, took a sip of water, and then gestured to her desk, saying, "I have some cold medicine in my desk drawer. You're not feeling well, so you can take a couple."

talking.

A smile appeared on Lin Bao'er's lips.

But as soon as the smile materialized, it seemed to remember something, and not only did it quickly disappear, but it also became somewhat angry.

Wow, you look so beautiful today!

Zhang You glanced at Bao'er, smiled and complimented her, then pulled out a chair and sat down at his desk, saying, "Where's the agreement? Let me see it. Let me make this clear first: if the terms aren't good, I won't sign. And... even if I do sign, I can't stay at the company all day. Don't bother me unless absolutely necessary."

"Then what does the company need you for?!"

Done.

Zhang You hadn't reacted yet, but Lin Bao'er's expression froze for a moment before her face became extremely unnatural, because she remembered what this guy often did when he came to the company.

Then, she slammed an agreement down in front of Zhang You and said in a rather annoyed tone, "You're lucky you've got a boss like me. Any other boss would have sent you packing your bags and home in no time."
