Chapter 246 The eldest is not doing well, the youngest takes the lead ( more, please vote)

Lin Yicheng did not anticipate this dog-eat-dog drama in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but he enjoyed watching it very much.

Lin Yicheng then realized that Chen Kexin had been using the trick of selling hats for thousands of dollars since "The Warlords".

I guess it's because they have been making art films for too long, and they are really going crazy and afraid of being poor.

There was one thing that Lin Yicheng had finally figured out.

In its previous life, China Film Corporation participated in the investment of "The Warlords".

However, after the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first week, Chen Kexin no longer received any information about the box office.

Chen Kexin asked Mr. Han Sanye.

Mr. Han San said he didn’t know.

You taste, you taste carefully.

Chen Kexin also tasted it.

"I just ask for the box office to exceed 2 million, okay?" Chen Kexin begged Mr. Han Sanye.

Mr. Han Sanye agreed.

So, after "The Warlords" was taken off the screen, the box office in mainland China just exceeded 2 million.

Ah.

Chen Kexin is so bold that she has even cheated China Film Corporation out of money.

Can Lao Han not deal with him?

That's a mountain eagle!

After leaving Yangcheng, the crew headed directly north.

Didn't go to a city in the southwest.

Anyway, Lin Yicheng will not go in the next two years.

Galaxy Cinemas, there is no cinema there either.

Artists under Star Culture and 18 Culture, especially female artists, do not accept notices from there.

Along the way, the box office performance of "How a Bad Movie Was Made" has been quite stable, maintaining a daily box office of around 1500 million, with a very small daily decline.

The reason for this, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, is that the company is well matched by its peers.

The movie "Assembly" is too boring and too cruel.

During the Lunar New Year holiday, audiences went to the movies just to relax and have fun, but after watching Feifan, they didn't feel relaxed, but felt more depressed.

Why spend money to make yourself uncomfortable?
Why not go watch “How Bad Movies Are Made” to cheer yourself up?

Therefore, except for the first day when the box office of "Assembly" broke 10 million, it has been declining every day since then, and the decline is not small.
-

On December 12, the crew arrived in Chang'an.

The people of Chang'an are very supportive of Lin Yicheng, the "Pride of Chang'an".

There was a huge burst of enthusiasm.

On that day, cinemas in Chang'an were packed with people queuing up to buy tickets to watch "How a Bad Movie Was Made".

So what if you’ve already seen the movie?
Now that my child is back, who would be reluctant to spend those few dozen dollars?

You can’t embarrass your child in front of outsiders (other crew members)!

The people of Guanzhong are so united and down-to-earth.

Lin Yicheng was not vague as his fellow villagers treated him so well.

Within one day, he toured all the cinemas. When he spoke, he spoke in authentic Shaanxi dialect, which made his fellow villagers feel very familiar.

That night, Lin Yicheng did not stay in the hotel and went home first.

Zhao Yuxia was worried about her son, so she checked the whole thing from head to toe.

Only after getting many assurances from Lin Yicheng did he let him go.
-

January 1st, New Year’s Day.

The crew, exhausted and tired from the long journey, finally returned to the capital.

"How Bad Movies Are Made" has been released for 20 days, and its cumulative box office has reached more than 3 million.

"Assembly" has been released for exactly one week, and the cumulative box office is less than 5000 million, which is far behind the performance of the original time and space.
As for "The Warlords", it has been taken off the screen in mainland China for several days, and the total box office in mainland China is only over 400 million.

Even because of the influence of public opinion, the box office of "The Warlords" in Hong Kong Island was not ideal. As of New Year's Day, it only earned more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it can still struggle for a while, it will not exceed million in the end.

Both Media Asia and Anglo-American Entertainment are suffering from heavy losses.

On the way back to Xinghe Film and Television Company, Mr. Han Sanye called.

"Xiao Lin, I'm really sorry. Yindu still doesn't agree to be the agent for distributing your movie." Mr. Han Sanye said with a guilty tone.

At the beginning, Lin Yicheng had not considered the Hong Kong Island market. It was Han Sanye who insisted on looking for the Yindu organization, with which he had cooperated twice before, to cooperate again.

"It's okay, Uncle Han. It's not your fault." Lin Yicheng smiled and comforted Mr. Han.

"Don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Mr. Han San's words were somewhat serious.

This was the first time he had encountered someone who was so disrespectful to him since he became the boss of China Film Corporation.

Since you don't give me face, don't blame me for not giving you the inside.

If you want to release a movie invested by Yindu in mainland China in the future, haha, you have to act according to Han Sanping's mood.

Han Sanping has the final say on how to knock and how to knead!

Although China Film Group and China Bank can barely be called brother units, they should be treated separately.

Even if there is a quarrel, Han Sanping is always right!
-

The fundamental purpose of establishing the Yindu company is to plant a nail there, distribute mainland films, or invest in Hong Kong Island's ← films, and subtly change the situation there...

Nothing more.

As the old saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together."

After being there for so many years, the flavor of this company has changed.

Then it is natural and reasonable for them to refuse to release "How Bad Movies Are Made".

Lin Yicheng didn't care either.

Even if "How a Bad Movie Was Made" can be released in Hong Kong Island, the amount that Galaxy Film and Television Company will eventually get will not be much, at most one or two million.

Not only Hong Kong Island, but also the other side of the Taiwan Strait is inaccessible. It's impossible to imagine.

As for overseas copyright, Lin Yicheng did not hold out much hope.

It's neither an action film nor a costume film.

Let’s just sell as much as we can.

Lin Yicheng's original intention in making this movie was not to make money from the box office, otherwise he could have made another one.

Now that the movie has played its due role, the box office numbers are really not the key.
-

When Lin Yicheng arrived at Xinghe Film and Television Company, he did not attend a meeting.

Too tired to drive.

He called Zhou Chenggong to his office.

"Boss, I'm still negotiating the TV rights and audiovisual copyrights. I estimate that they will be settled in two or three days at most. Don't worry, I won't sell them at a low price."

As soon as Zhou Chenggong entered the door, he reported his work.

"Well, just keep following up. The online copyright will still be retained. I have already informed China Film Group and Qingying Film Group." Lin Yicheng smiled.

Although Lao Zhou is not very capable, he is impeccable in terms of loyalty and attitude.

"How is Ning Hao?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"He has almost completed the preparations and can start shooting in the next few days. The estimated investment in the film is about 600 to 800 million yuan." Lao Zhou replied immediately.

"By the way, how did he convince Wang Baoqiang?" Recently, Lin Yicheng has no time to pay attention to Ning Hao.

Wang Baoqiang is now an artist of Huayi, and it was Huayi who made him famous.

"A World Without Thieves", "The Counterfeiter", "Soldier Assault" and "Assembly" were all resources that Huayi fed him. In his previous life, Huayi even let Wang Baoqiang appear on the 2009 Spring Festival Gala and exchanged him for high-quality resources such as "My Brother is Shunliu".

Of course, it is hard to say whether "My Brother is Called Shunliu" will still exist in this time and space.

One of its investors, Pony.com, can no longer run.

Speaking of which, Huayi has indeed been very kind to Wang Baoqiang.

"Lost on Journey" is the work of Galaxy Film and Television Company, and the relationship between Galaxy Film and Television and Huayi is well known to everyone.

Lin Yicheng was very curious about how Ning Hao got Wang Baoqiang into the crew.
-

"I heard that Ning Hao personally went to see Wang Baoqiang several times, and each time he brought a few bottles of wine. I guess he drank a lot at the table." Old Zhou said with a smile.

"What about Huayi? Did they have any objection?" Lin Yicheng asked again.

"It seems that Ning Hao has also been to Huayi. As for how he convinced Huayi, I don't know." Having said that, Zhou Chenggong quickly apologized.

"Sorry, boss. I didn't do my job well. I'll find out right away."

"You've been busy with the movie. I don't blame you." After Lin Yicheng comforted her, he sat on the sofa and began to ponder.

Previously, Ning Hao concealed the fact that Zhong Lifang wanted to poach him, which made Lin Yicheng feel very uncomfortable and left a knot in his heart.

Lin Yicheng also thought about whether it was possible to use Ning Hao as a tool.

After all, Ning Hao at this moment is not the same Ning Hao as in the original time and space.

Lin Yicheng asked him to film "Lost on Journey", which was considered a promotion for him.

Now it seems that Ning Hao is still the same Ning Hao.

Too oily, too slippery, and the mind is too complicated and wild.

It's impossible to keep it.

In the original time and space, he first joined Xiaoma Pentium, but when Xiaoma Pentium got into trouble, he saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately abandoned his old employer and set up his own business, establishing the Bad Monkey Studio. At that time, Li Dagou was still alive!
You know, Li Dagou is really kind to Ning Hao. He gives him almost everything he asks for and supports him wholeheartedly.

This shows what kind of character Ning Hao is.
-

"Boss, could it be that he wants to join Huayi?" Zhou Chenggong was not stupid and immediately guessed this possibility.

"Haha, who knows? Huayi is the leader in the Beijing circle, we can't compare with it." Lin Yicheng said with a faint smile.

"How can he do this? Isn't he eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? He is so ungrateful!" Zhou Chenggong was very angry.

He still remembered how Ning Hao came to invest in Galaxy Film and Television Barbara.

The movie hasn't even been shot yet, and you're already thinking of climbing up the ladder?

"Are we going to replace him now?" Lin Yicheng asked back.

"Uh." Zhou Chenggong was stuck.

"Lost on Journey" is about to be completed, and some of the initial expenses, such as advance pay for the actors and behind-the-scenes staff, as well as location scouting, venues, equipment, etc., have already been spent.

If we change the generals at this moment, the impact and losses will be too great.

"This time, you will be the producer yourself and you will follow the crew. Do you understand?" Lin Yicheng said.

In his previous life, Lin Yicheng still remembered clearly how Guangtou Xu stole projects and cheated on copyrights.

He couldn't help but worry whether Ning Hao would do the same to him.

Defenses can not do without.

What's more, in the previous life, Ning Hao and Xu Guangtou were real close friends, one of the "three close friends," and they even visited prostitutes together.

People gather together.

Being able to play with Xu Guangtou.

Ning Hao is...

"Don't worry, I understand. I will keep a close eye on him." Zhou Chenggong nodded.

"Well, then there are Zhongying and Qingying. Please help me make a trip. This time, give Zhongying 20% ​​and Qingying 10%."

"Okay, I'll go there later."

"Oh, and also, go to Bona and give them 10% as well." Lin Yicheng reminded again.
-

"How a Bad Movie is Made", Fatty Yu really contributed.

Fatty Yu is a good person and he is really helpful when something happens.

In this case, let’s solidify our alliance and let Fatty Yu get some meat as well.

Thinking of Fatty Yu, Lin Yicheng couldn't help but feel emotional.

After this incident, the Hong Kong film industry will become even more bleak in the future.

Then, Bona, whose main business is the agency and distribution of Hong Kong films, will inevitably be affected.

I’m afraid Fatty Yu will have a hard time in the future.

I don’t know if Fatty Yu had expected this situation before.

If he had anticipated this and still helped Lin Yicheng, then he would have owed him a huge favor and would have to repay it.

If he hadn't expected it, it would be like a fire in the city gate, and Fatty Yu would be implicated.

No matter which one it is, Lin Yicheng has to give him a hand.

We must not let our allies down.

Furthermore, a weak Bona would not be a good ally for Galaxy Film and Television Company.

As for how to help Fatty Yu, Lin Yicheng needs to think about it carefully and discuss it with Fatty Yu later.
-

"By the way, Huayi hasn't made any statement on the "Initiative", right?" Lin Yicheng thought of another thing.

"No, they should still be waiting and watching, probably waiting for instructions from above?" Zhou Chenggong shook his head and guessed.

"Haha, these two idiots." Lin Yicheng sneered.

It is true that the crying child gets the milk.

But the children who can get things done will get candy.

Why don’t the higher-ups make any statement?
For various reasons, it is not convenient to express one's position.

However, the above does not necessarily mean to examine several children.

With so many children, it is inevitable that you won’t be able to take care of them all, and it is impossible to treat them all equally.

We have to choose someone who can get things done and who parents can trust to be the leader.

Hua Yi relied on the fact that he was the eldest child and thought that all the parents' love was on him and that he was the rightful leader.

Maybe it was like this before.

Not anymore.

When your parents encounter problems, you are unable to help them solve their problems.

When you encounter trouble, you will only seek protection from your parents.

That alone would be fine.

The key is that this boss is so unqualified.

Not only will they not learn well themselves, but they may also lead other children astray.

In this case, will the parents be satisfied? Can they still let him be the leader?
Want to eat fart!
-

As the old saying goes, parents love their youngest child.

What's more, this youngest child is brave and brave, not only is he well-behaved and obedient, but he can also take the blame and responsibility for his parents.

Although he can be a little naughty sometimes and cause some trouble to his parents.

It's inevitable for children, and parents can understand and sympathize with them. They are much better than that cowardly boss, right?

Is there anyone who is perfect?
After looking around, only this youngest can achieve success and is worthy of being entrusted with the important task.

Lin Yicheng, the youngest from Galaxy Film and Television Company, is this guy!
"No need to wait. Today, you contact the companies that have already signed and issue a joint statement. From today on, make every effort to implement and implement the "Initiative". It's a new year, so there must be some new developments." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.
