Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 273: Big Profits and Killing People

Not long after National Day, the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds" finally came to its finale.

The average viewership was 3.03%.

It is the first TV series on Mango TV to break 2013 in 3.

This wave of cooperation with Mango TV is another win-win for everyone.

The second, third and online broadcast rounds that followed also saw a frenzy of buying.

Everyone has blind trust in the "Zuibai" brand.

Thanks to this drama, Reba, the female lead, and Nazha, the female second, have completely solidified their titles as the two beauties of the Western Regions.

Everyone has become fully familiar with these two faces that are full of exotic styles and have their own unique characteristics.

Even many industry insiders and onlookers have analyzed the pros and cons of these two faces.

Of course, what everyone envies most is that Cheng Xi can have two trump cards at the same time.

They even started gossiping about the relationship between the three of them.

Some people actually say the three of them are simply boss-artist relationships. I can only say they haven't eaten enough rice. Let me ask you, if you were Director Cheng, would you not want these two great faces?

[Don't be so vulgar. Director Cheng is a genius. He definitely thinks differently from ordinary people like me.]

[+1 for the idiot above. Geniuses aren't lustful? From my observation, the more talented a person is, the more lustful they are. Otherwise, where do you think inspiration comes from?]

[I know this, because there is a source of living water! ]

I support Director Cheng and Reba. I've been with them since their first film, and I'm also the Drunken White Princess!

[They've always been a couple. I support Nazha. She's prettier, more obedient, and doesn't fight or compete! Watching her variety shows, she's just like the silly beauty.]

[Maybe you're all wrong? I have a bold guess! Director Cheng wants both!]

[Tsk, I don't believe in a threesome. If it's true, I'll sing "Liang Liang" for Director Cheng sooner or later!]

With the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds", the news of "The Cool Night Turns into a River of Missing You" was played in the streets and alleys.

The gossip about the three of them has flooded the Internet.

Of course, the parties involved, Cheng Xi, Reba and Nazha, all saw it.

Reba: I am my brother’s destined daughter.

Nazha: Reba and I are good sisters.

Cheng Xi: Wentao, Xiaoluo, please keep this news to yourself.

But the effect of suppression can be imagined, and some clever netizens even discovered that the popularity was deliberately suppressed.

This makes netizens who like "conspiracy theories" feel that this is solid evidence of guilt.

Cheng Xi simply ignored it and let it go.

But I have a vague feeling that if netizens continue to do this, a fire may break out in the backyard at any time.

As the box office of "The Shameful Iron Fist" stabilized, Zuibai began to fully launch the promotion of "Detective Chinatown".

The first one is of course the song "Chinatown" sung by Jie Lun and the pilot MV edited by Cheng Xi.

【Drunk White:
Hello everyone, thank you for your strong support for "Shameful Iron Fist" and "Eternal Love".

My new movie "Detective Chinatown" will also be released soon.

In addition, there is a small easter egg revealed in advance this time.

That is the MV of the movie theme song "Chinatown" written and composed by Zhao Yingjun and me and sung by Zhou Jielun, which I would like to give to you.

May all those who work hard in foreign countries and all overseas Chinese get what they want and have a happy family!

@Zhao Yingjun@Wang Baoqiang@Fan Binbin@Zuibai Studio@Zuibai Entertainment】

As soon as Cheng Xi released the MV on Weibo, its popularity continued to rise and it reached the top of the charts half an hour later.

You should know that it has been almost a year since Zhou Jie Lun released the album "2012 New Works" in 12.

It's already the end of October, and there is still no news about the new album for 10. Fans are all looking forward to Jie Lun's new songs.

Unexpectedly, this time it was a direct collaboration between two geniuses!

As soon as it was released, fans of Zuibai and Jielun immediately clicked on the preview MV of "Detective Chinatown" to take a look.

As soon as you enter the screen, you will see the night scene of Chinatown in a foreign country.

There are a lot of cars, flickering lights, and crowds of people, which is very lively.

The Tang Detective duo appeared in the picture, running!
Only 20 seconds passed after a few small twists and jokes.

Then Jieren's voice came slowly.

“Is it a post station or a branch?
Is the soy milk you grind sweet or salty?

As you listen, there are comments below.

[Chinese style? It's actually Jielun's most amazing Chinese style!]

[Oh my god, Jielun’s Chinese style! Mr. Zuibai is really good at choosing singers!]

"Excuse me, how far is it to Chinatown?

Go upstairs and listen to Di Renjie

Who filled the old wine and toasted with determination?
The embroidered pillow accompanies me through the night
How long does it take to get to Chinatown?
The wall is engraved with the words "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon"
Tears have caused the smoke to meander

Who ignores it while chatting and laughing

When did the bright moon rise?"

I'm in Los Angeles, and I cried after hearing this. I have to go to Chinatown to eat dumplings tonight!

[I'm in Bangkok, and I saw the crew filming there. I wanted to cry after hearing this song!]

I'm in Tokyo and I want to cry! I miss my mom! I miss my grandma!

[I'm in China, but working away from home, and I miss the tofu pudding from home.]

Then the following format of "Where I am, I want to cry too" came out in a flash.

Everyone started to create a forum under Zuibai's Weibo.

It can be seen that this song has completely ignited everyone's homesickness.

Chinatown, a unique symbol of China, stands all over the world, and the long history of its culture and bloodline will always be etched in the hearts of Chinese people.

And the new movie "Detective Chinatown" has gradually entered everyone's hearts along with this longing.

Zuibai Entertainment Office.

"Boss, your song 'Chinatown' makes me want to go home right now." "Haha, stop flattering me and get down to business."

Hearing this, Li Wentao stopped chatting and reported on his recent work.

"The editing and post-production of 'Detective Chinatown' has been completed. Once the music video is out, many sponsors want to place advertisements. Here's the list, boss, take a look."

"We've already earned 3000 million from product placement, and we've actually invested 4000 million. Let's just pick one more. Too many will ruin the viewing experience."

Cheng Xi doesn't want to be as crazy as "Personal Customization", which is obviously just for money.

There is a product placement every five or six minutes.

The movie has its merits, but people who bought tickets to the theater will definitely feel unhappy about this.

Unlike Jiang Wen, he really made money while doing nothing.

In "Let the Bullets Fly", they were unwilling to spend tens of millions just to add a drinking scene.

"Okay, Boss. The film has already been submitted for review, and we've already made arrangements in advance, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Keep an eye on Huayi's movements. Detective Dee suffered another major setback. They definitely don't want us to end up like Private Tailor."

Next, Li Wentao focused on reporting the financial report.

"First is Xin Yukun's 'The Vanishing Man,' formerly known as 'The Labyrinth of the Heart.'"

"The filming cost 700 million yuan, and the subsequent awards, publicity, and reshoots cost another 800 million yuan, for a total cost of 1500 million yuan, and the box office revenue was 3 million yuan."

"The company's revenue is expected to reach 7000 million, and after deducting costs, it will make 5500 million."

After hearing this, Cheng Xi also understood that this low-cost film made a lot of money thanks to the "Zuibai" brand and its excellent quality.

The absolute value of the amount is not high, but the rate of return is definitely high.

"Then there's 'Three Lives, Three Worlds, Three Worlds,' which initially sold 150 million per episode and sold 50 million for 7500 episodes."

"Including the second, third, and online broadcast rounds, as well as the embedded advertising revenue from the online broadcast, the estimated revenue is 2.35 million yuan."

"After deducting the cost of 6000 million, the profit is 1.75 million."

"Three Lives Three Worlds" is so popular, it should make more money in the future.

The most important thing about TV series is to promote people. As for movies, many of them have high box office but cannot promote people.

If the invisible benefits of Reba and Nazha are also taken into account, the value is immeasurable.

"The third one is 'Youth', which cost 3000 million to shoot, and the company led the investment of 2000 million."

"The box office is 8 million yuan, and we expect to get about 2.16 million yuan in revenue."

"After deducting costs, we made nearly 2 million yuan."

Well, it earns more than "Eternal Love".

Youth films are indeed profitable. The cost is not high and they rely on fans and publicity in the early stages.

Once it explodes later, you will make a lot of money.

"Then there's 'The Hidden Corner,' which has just sold one round and hasn't been aired yet."

"The box office of 'The Shameful Iron Fist' is about to break 10 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach more than 11 billion yuan."

"The filming cost 3500 million yuan, post-production and publicity cost 2000 million yuan, we led the investment of 3500 million yuan, and advertising sponsorship cost 2000 million yuan."

"If the box office is expected to reach 11 billion, the profit will be 3 million, and after deducting the cost, the profit will be 2.65 million."

"In other words, the four projects, 'The Vanishing Man,' 'Eternal Love,' 'So Young,' and 'The Shameful Iron Fist,' are expected to generate 8.2 million yuan in funding."

"The profit is as high as 6.9 million!"

Li Wentao's tone became excited at the end!

When Cheng Xi heard this, he scrolled to the end and looked at the total items.

Very satisfied!
These are just four projects this year, and "The Hidden Corner" is about to be aired.

"Detective Chinatown" will be released at the end of the year.

"Shan Shan Comes to Eat" is also in production.

There is also income from Zuibai Entertainment's daily brokerage, business agency and other businesses, plus Mahua's ticketing revenue and Zuibai Literature Network's revenue.

And the income from buying high and selling low in stocks.

Profits are expected to exceed 10 billion this year.

If the company is valued at 15 times the PE ratio upon listing, it could theoretically reach 150 billion.

Of course, newly listed stocks will generally be hyped for a period of time.

Only later can we see whether it can be stabilized.

However, Cheng Xi currently has no intention of going public. The main purpose of going public is to raise funds to expand production.

Of course, this is what is seen on the surface. Many companies go public directly to sell their companies and make money.

Cheng Xi has more money in his account than he can spend, and he is not considering making profits, so of course there is no need to go public at the moment.

And it will take one or two years to complete the IPO and go through the listing review.

At that time, the stock market crash had just begun, and Cheng Xi would not even consider going public in the United States.

Now Huayi’s stock price has reached 7 yuan, with a market value of more than 300 billion yuan.

On paper, it looks like it’s twice as much as Cheng Xi’s Zuibai Entertainment.

Moreover, Huayi is the first listed entertainment company and an old-established entertainment company with deep-rooted connections and influence.

At the moment, I really can't compare.

But Cheng Xi also has some well-known copyrights under his name.

In addition, the IP value of Zuibai Chinese website has gradually accumulated.

Moreover, the company is basically solely owned by him, and his personal assets are no less than the capital of the two Huayi brothers.

But this is all for now. When the time comes, Huayi will take advantage of the momentum of the entertainment industry and the bull market.

The market value soared to 1000 billion.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi decided to shatter the Huayi brothers' dream of making hundreds of billions.

Before they could react and cash out, the stock price returned to its original level.

I saw it, it was almost there, but it fell short and went back to its original form.

Perhaps this is the most murderous way.
