The rise of the country from the entertainment industry

Chapter 257
Penguin Video is an online video media platform belonging to the first echelon.

But at the same level, there are two platforms, IQ and Oil Depot.

The president, Han Zhijie, is an ambitious person who wants to make Penguin Video bigger and stronger and become the leader in the industry.

The development of IQ was five years earlier than that of Penguin, and even the oil depot was three years earlier than him.

So under normal circumstances, they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

They used to buy film and television works purely by chance, purely by picking up leaks.

But the purchase of "Farewell My Concubine" was directly made by Han Zhijie, the president of Penguin Video.

At the meeting, it can be said that it was against all opinions.

"You should have seen that because of Jiang Li and Duan Diehua's starring roles, "Farewell My Concubine" became popular before it was broadcast, and how popular it was in the early stage."

"To be honest, like everyone else, I know that this time the gamble is huge, and I might lose my life."

Han Zhijie looked at the crowd and said, "The reason why I think I can buy "Farewell My Concubine" is because of their enthusiasm."

"No matter what, when "Farewell My Concubine" premieres, there will definitely be a large number of people watching, and Jiang Li is worth investing in."

Han Zhijie's thoughts are actually the same as Hwaseong's.

The more exciting this film is, the more favor Jiang Li owes them to Penguin.

Don't ask him how to compensate, just come to any party or a variety show, isn't it good?

Han Zhijie didn't ask how much money "Farewell My Concubine" could bring them. Anyway, as long as they don't lose money, they won't lose if they can earn back 400 million from the 300 million.

This will make him feel better.

To be honest, he even raised his psychological expectations a few days before the release of "Farewell My Concubine".

Because he didn't expect that, as the Yanhuang Penguin Huacheng's three-party propaganda began to follow up, the signs of becoming popular before the broadcast became more and more obvious, and it even seemed like the whole people were watching the excitement.

It cannot be said that it is the expectation of the whole people, because many people think that this film is probably not good-looking, and it is more suitable to watch it lively.

The audience of literary and artistic films is there, and it is already the limit of his imagination to make a little money.

It would be a little rude to earn any more.

Han Zhijie didn't have high expectations, so naturally he didn't make a special trip to the cinema to buy tickets.

But by coincidence, his wife and son watched "Farewell My Concubine" in the theater.

The two who originally wanted to try it out watched it with gusto.

After Han Zhijie returned home, he asked curiously, "Does it look good?"

"It's really good." The wife replied.

But she knew very well that her husband didn't want this kind of answer.

Therefore, after thinking about it, she added: "It's just a bit too realistic, and the sense of substitution is so strong that even Xiao Tao cried."

"Actually, from the very beginning, I can somewhat see the protagonist's misfortune. Once it starts, the ending is doomed, just like the story of "Farewell My Concubine". The artistry of this movie is really strong."

Han Zhijie, who was not interested at first, was suddenly a little surprised.

"Then do you want to watch it a second time?" he asked his wife.

The wife nodded directly without any hesitation.

hiss……

Han Zhijie stroked his stubble.

His wife is naturally not an ordinary person. She is a top student at Qingbei University, and she still has basic appreciation skills.

And a movie that can make her and her son feel great, doesn't that mean that it is suitable for all ages?

The good thing is to allow people with different cultural levels, different education backgrounds and different personalities to have their own interpretations.

With this in mind, he looked up at the ceiling, half paralyzed on the sofa, and realized something.

That night, Han Zhijie suffered from insomnia.

The next day, he got up early and went to the Penguin Building.

Now he is eager to know the data of "Farewell My Concubine".

"President."

"President."

Along the way, everyone greeted him.

Han Zhijie just nodded and rushed to the office.

Open the folder and start reading page by page.

These data sheets are arranged in chronological order, starting from yesterday's daytime broadcast, all the way to late night.

Looking around, the box office of the movies bought by Penguin can be described as terrible.

The more Han Zhijie looked at it, the more frustrated he became.

Finally, he turned to the page of "Farewell My Concubine".

Looking at the detailed data of the box office of "Farewell My Concubine" on the first day, my breath became short of breath instantly, my eyes widened, and my face was full of disbelief.

At the same time, the performance of "Farewell My Concubine" also made IQ and Oil Depot dumbfounded.

Now the top box office is still Firefly's "Planet Fortress", but its box office growth has dropped visibly, which can be said to be a cliff-like decline.

The exclusive authorization of "Planet Fortress" was bought by IQ a long time ago, and now it can be said that it is regrettable.

And the oil depot bought "Warcraft", and the brilliant results should have stole the limelight.

But today everyone focused most of their attention on "Farewell My Concubine".

Because it was so unexpected.

A rookie actor, he acted in a literary film for the first time, and invested [-] million yuan, but the box office really exploded on the first day.

I didn't even dare to think about it before!
"It doesn't make sense! Is this person a monster?"

The top executives of IQ and the oil depot all fell into regret.

Especially the head of IQ.

Because at the beginning, after reading the script of "Farewell My Concubine", a supervisor felt that the film was worth buying, and expressed in many meetings that he could buy the authorization of "Farewell My Concubine".

"You can buy it first, and then we can communicate. It shouldn't be a big problem to have Jiang Li's top traffic."

But the director didn't buy into the idea.

Because Yanhuang Studio's quotation is really not low, and they are selling at the price of first-line blockbusters.

He thought it was too expensive, and felt that Yanhuang's literary film was not worth the price at all.

It would be ridiculous to say that 1.5 million investment in real money was thrown out, and there was no trace of burning money in the end.

At that time, there will be a lot of comments on the Internet, saying that this film is money laundering.

After all, the box office records of domestic literary films are still there, and they have not yet reached 2 million. Jiang Li smashed 1.5 million. What is the plan?
There must be something tricky here!
Their IQ has no shortage of films, so many people are begging to sell them, and they can sell them at a low price.

Starring Jiang Li, it's still a literary film, so it sounds unreliable.

And some time ago, I bought "Planet Fortress" that everyone is optimistic about.

With so many good cards in their hands, the risk of investing in "Farewell My Concubine" is too high, and they can't afford to gamble.

Maybe if you are not careful, you will become a laughing stock in the industry.

This is being coerced by traffic!
But now, the reputation of "Farewell My Concubine" has made some people regret it.

But there are also people who don't give up.

This is only the first day, and it can only explain part of the problem, but it cannot fully explain the problem.

The only thing that made them more worried was that the ratings and word-of-mouth of "Farewell My Concubine" on the Internet seemed really terrible.
