My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1369 Discussion Part Two

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaobo not only didn't get angry, but instead burst into laughter a few times.

He knew his request was a bit excessive, but he had no choice. He had high hopes for "The Showdown," thinking that even if the box office didn't reach 1.5 billion, it would still reach 1 billion. But the reality was that the film had only grossed 620 million as of yesterday, with daily box office falling below 20 million.

It will only get lower and lower from here on out.

The company internally estimated that the film's total box office would be at most over 800 million.

The production costs were recouped, but the profits were not substantial. In contrast, "Crazy Stone," co-invested by Tianyu Entertainment and Zhang You, has surpassed 2.5 billion yuan at the box office, and its daily box office remains remarkably stable even on weekdays.

Even if Tianyu Entertainment only accounts for one-third of the investment, this one project alone can earn at least 300 million yuan, and possibly as much as 500 million yuan.

And the album by that future boy also sold very well.

These two projects alone can bring Tianyu Entertainment a net profit of 600 to 700 million yuan, which is incredibly enviable. And this is only the beginning of the year. When the third season of "The Voice of China" starts, the advertising sponsorship fees will be another huge sum. Tianyu Entertainment's net profit was already high last year, and it may be even higher this year.

If he hadn't known he couldn't poach Zhang You, and mainly because he didn't have the resources to do so, that incentive contract... was only agreed to by the shareholders because Tianyu Entertainment's net profit was so high last year.

Otherwise, don't even think about it.

So even if he had this idea, he couldn't offer such a generous incentive.

Anyway, Tianyu Entertainment's financial report last year was truly enviable. After laughing for a while, Tian Xiaobo said, "My dear niece, it's not that your Uncle Tian is heartless, but... you see, Director Han Wei is a director in our company. It's only natural for Feitian to invest in the movies she directs."

"How much is her director's fee? Tianyu Entertainment will pay her the director's fee according to the market price."

Lin Bao'er said directly, "Besides, she promised to direct a film for Tianyu Entertainment last year. If she promised, she had to keep her word."

Lin Bao'er didn't care why Zhang Xiaoyou was working with director Han Wei.

In her opinion, although director Han Wei's directing skills are good, the failure of "Ta Ya" is a fact. She wanted to work with director Han Wei in the past because she thought she was very capable.

But now... Lin Bao'er believes that as long as the director doesn't arbitrarily change the plot and follows Zhang Xiaoyou's script, the filming will definitely be successful.

The core of a film is its content. Once the content is well-controlled, a top-notch team can be assembled to assist the director in filming, and even a director who is not good at directing can produce a good film.

"My dear niece, is there nothing to talk about?!"

Seeing that Lin Shirong, the eldest daughter, was unyielding, Tian Xiaobo became a little angry, but he still patiently said, "I'm your Uncle Tian."

Even if you're my dad, it won't make a difference.

Lin Bao'er replied without hesitation.

Zhang You's projects are incredibly profitable, as has been proven several times already, especially... why should she let him? She's even sacrificed herself to keep Zhang Xiaoyou in the company.

She even had a child with him.

When Feitian's chairman, Tian Xiaobo, came over and casually said a few words, she was asked to give up her investment share. If other entertainment company bosses came looking for her, would she have to give it up too?

Tian Xiaobo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "My dear niece, do you know why I didn't speak to Zhang You privately? Because your Uncle Tian respects you..."

Uncle Tian

Lin Bao'er interrupted Chairman Tian, ​​laughing, "If you truly respect me, then void the performance-based agreement I signed with your company for 'The Vanished Her.' We'll split the profits according to our investment shares. If it falls below 1.5 billion, I won't ask you to make up the difference."

Song Lan, standing to the side, almost laughed.

When he signed the agreement, Chairman Lin thought he had gotten a great deal and was overjoyed when he got back.

Once the projects the company collaborated on with Director Zhang all grossed over 2 billion yuan, she started to regret it. I bet she was kicking herself when she saw the box office performance of "Crazy Stone".

There's also the production rights fee for "The Voice of China." A few days after Director Zhang signed the agreement with the foreign TV series producer, Chairman Lin had faint dark circles under his eyes when he came to the company in the morning. He must have been regretting it so much that he couldn't sleep that night.

What exactly constitutes true intelligence?

Chairman Lin is it.

Everyone says that Tianyu Entertainment's annual report last year was particularly impressive, but the truly impressive one was Youyi Studio. It's just that they're not listed and don't need to disclose these things. Once they did... I wonder how many people would be dazzled.

"That won't do."

Tian Xiaobo refused without even thinking about it.

The movie "The Vanished" is now being watched not only by him, but also by the shareholders. If he really dares to do this, the shareholders might unite to remove him from his position as chairman in advance.

As the owner of an entertainment company, you can make mistakes in important decisions, but you must never be a fool, because if the owner is a fool, neither the shareholders nor the company's senior management can see a future.

That would inevitably cause a lot of turmoil within the company, which he couldn't handle.

The success of "Crazy Stone" led many executives at Feitian to place high hopes on this film. Whenever the crew encountered a problem, the company executives would personally step in to help resolve it. In fact, in order to allow Uncle Han to focus on filming, the company even set up a special team to handle troubles for the crew.

"Goodbye Mr. Loser" has grossed a total of 2.2 billion yuan, "The Truman Show" has grossed 3.7 billion yuan, and "Crazy Stone" is likely to surpass 3.7 billion yuan based on its current box office trend.

Because this movie performed so well, its overall drop was less than 30% after the start of the week. At this point, it would be reasonable for many projects to see their box office revenue halved.

Zhang You's three projects have all become hits, and now the company has analyzed the box office performance of this movie that is still in production. The minimum is 2 billion, and if it goes higher... because it is not a comedy, the box office should be 3 billion.

The thought of "The Vanished" grossing 3 billion yuan made Tian Xiaobo secretly delighted. If the box office exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, the remaining 1.5 billion yuan would belong to Zhang You and Feitian. Even if it was only 30%, he could still earn an extra 200 to 300 million yuan.

"You know it won't work, so why are you making me give in?!"

Lin Bao'er immediately countered with a question.

In the past, when Zhang Xiaoyou brought a script, she would have the company's senior management evaluate it together. Now... there's no need for that at all. She just takes it and starts making a budget, and then the project is pushed forward in a very short time.

With three consecutive blockbuster films, Zhang Xiaoyou could easily make a profit even with a terrible script.

"Then I'll talk to Zhang You."

Seeing that he couldn't reach an agreement with Lin Shirong, Tian Xiaobo decided to talk to Zhang You himself.

He had made this preparation before coming over: first, he would talk to Lin Shirong, the eldest daughter, as a way of making a heads-up; if they couldn't reach an agreement, he would then talk to Zhang You. In any case, he had done his duty of courtesy.

If we skip over Lin Shirong's eldest daughter, she might think we're trying to poach her.

It's a pity he doesn't have a daughter... Even if he did, it wouldn't matter, since Zhang You is already married. But if he likes beautiful women, Tian Xiaobo wouldn't mind personally finding two pretty actresses at Feitian Company to help him get together.

However, he had never heard of Zhang You having any ambiguous relationships with other women.

I've heard that my eldest niece has some kind of ambiguous relationship with Zhang You, but these are definitely rumors. With such a capable person... which boss wouldn't like her?

Let alone female bosses.

The male boss also likes it.

Even someone like Zhang You, who has entered the world of flying, is willing to flatter him. If the soap is lost, he will personally bend down to pick it up.

Song Lan's phone rang. She took it out, glanced at it, and whispered in Chairman Lin's ear, "Director Zhang has arrived at the company."
