Entertainment Empire System

Although Ye Ming is quite busy at work, he did not go to the company as soon as possible today, nor did he go to the Spring Festival Gala crew, nor the crew of Ode to Joy.

As for the movie promotion about Running Brothers, there is no such thing.

In fact, he pays great attention to movie promotion. From the beginning of his life, he followed local road shows and flew to road shows all over the country.

But today he didn't do anything else. Han Shanping directly called him and summoned him.

So much so that Feng Xiaogang called and said, "Yi Zi, ok, he always brings surprises to everyone.

How about it? A few people have discussed celebrating with you. Let’s go out for a meal at noon today? "

Among these people in the capital circle, unless the relationship is not very good.

Anyway, it is normal for top entertainment artists to have dinner together. Every now and then, someone will call everyone to have dinner and chat.

Of course, the convener is usually someone with relatively high prestige, such as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli or Princess Ge You.

These are all big names who are relatively active in the Beijing entertainment circle.

And first-line actors like Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang actually have their own circles. As long as they are not filming, they usually have regular gatherings.

This is actually how small circles are formed. This time Ye Ming's movie was surprisingly popular.

Let’s run, brother, the total shooting time was less than ten days. This was the result of Ye Ming striving for perfection and waiting for a few big names, otherwise he would probably be finished in three to five days.

But such a simple movie turned out to be so popular after it was released, which made the big names in the entertainment industry very puzzled.

Why is there such a situation? Running Brothers is a variety show movie. Even if it has more stars and better special effects, it is already aiming for one billion.

What do other filmmakers think of this? Therefore, a few people thought for a while and asked Ye Ming to come over for dinner and have a talk?

Why does a popcorn-like movie like this shot by Ye Ming have such a high box office?

Therefore, Feng Xiaogang came forward and directly invited Ye Ming to dinner. This is actually very normal in the circle.

Moreover, they are all in the same circle. Ye Ming recently finished his road show and had plenty of time to go out for dinner, so this invitation came.

Or there is another meaning here, that is, if the second big movie of Running Brothers is filmed, whether and how to become a shareholder can be discussed over dinner.

Ye Ming said very apologetically: "I'm afraid it won't work at this time. Director Feng, I was supposed to go to the Spring Festival Gala crew today, but they were also rushing me there.

But it didn't work this time. I couldn't even go to the Spring Festival Gala crew. The third master just called me and asked me to go to his place and said that he had something to discuss.

At this time, I can't guarantee that I will have time to eat at noon.

Who knows when Mr. San will have time to see me, or whether he will have a meeting with me or something.

During leadership time, you also need to understand that I can’t make the decision. I definitely won’t dare to promise it to you at noon today.

There should be no problem in the evening. If nothing else happens, there will definitely be time in the evening. "

It is indeed difficult to tell the leader's time. Therefore, even if Han Shanping talks to him, it will only take ten minutes to talk, or it may even be only two or three minutes, but this is important but the market situation, after all, this is something that the leader attaches importance to. ah.

Therefore, under such a situation, no matter what it is, at this time, there is no way to agree to Feng Xiaogang's invitation.

Of course, Feng Xiaogang is also considered a member of the industry, and everyone knows Han Shanping's status in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention Han Shanping beckoning Ye Ming to come over, even if he beckoned Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang to come over, he had to go over obediently.

Say hello to Mr. Third, something big must have happened.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang also said with envy: "The leader is looking for you, forget it, don't delay the leader's affairs. If it doesn't work at noon, then how about at night?"

Jiangnan in the evening, just come over then.

At half past seven, see you there or not. "

In this case, it was definitely not because Ye Mingda was unwilling to come over. There must have been something big when the leader summoned him, whether it was a big thing or not.

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang actually had some vague guesses about why Han Shanping summoned Ye Ming.

Wang Zhongjun said from the side: "Director Feng, how about it? Ye Ming actually didn't agree to this matter."

Why did he only call in the morning after having a treat at noon? It was actually because Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming were too familiar with each other and we were friends, so they didn't say hello in advance.

Feng Xiaogang also believed that as long as Ye Ming was in the capital and it was not an important time, he would definitely agree to go to dinner.

But things can always go wrong, right?

In such a situation, Ye Ming actually did not agree, which made Wang Zhongjun feel depressed.

Wang Zhongjun knew how close the relationship between Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang was.

At that time, Feng Xiaogang was not a famous director, at most he was a well-known screenwriter.

Ye Ming was even worse. He was just a grassroots actor. The two knew each other at that time, and they could be said to be close friends.

Therefore, it was definitely a surprise that Ye Ming did not agree to Feng Xiaogang's invitation when he was in the capital.

Just like Feng Xiaogang's invitation to Ye Ming was relatively casual, Ye Ming's rejection was also relatively casual.

Feng Xiao just hung up the phone and said, "I don't have time. The Third Master has something to do with him. He didn't even go to today's Spring Festival Gala. It was temporary."

Therefore, I think it may be related to the rapid growth of Ye Ming's movie box office.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of such a movie’s box office? "

When Wang Zhongjun heard this, he actually felt depressed for a while. His company needed people and money, but it didn't produce such a hit movie that used a small amount to make a big difference.

Although Feng Xiaogang's movies are popular, he is a great and famous director, so the film production and publicity expenses are also high.

And Feng Xiaogang's movies are all big names, so the pay is naturally high.

Therefore, although the box office of Feng Xiaogang's movie is good, it is not a movie that uses small means to make a big difference, but a big picture that makes a big difference.

Therefore, in fact, under such a situation, Wang Zhongjun was still very envious and jealous of Ye Ming's popularity of the "Running Brothers" movie.

The movie was shot in ten days, and the celebrities invited were also invited by Ye Ming to make guest appearances.

In such a situation, some people even openly declare that they don’t need money and are just making guest appearances.

Therefore, for a movie like this, except for the special effects costs, which are difficult to calculate, everyone else can count on the same.

Therefore, looking at the box office this time, Ye Ming must have made a lot of money.

Therefore, Wang Zhongjun said jealously: "Who says it's not the case? This is based on the rhythm of one billion. If it continues, a higher box office is not impossible.

If leaders pay attention to this kind of achievement, it is perfectly normal. There are several film companies and theater chains. Now who doesn’t want to know whether Ye Ming will film the second part? "

In the second part, as long as you invest a little bit, it will basically be a business that will make a profit without losing money.

In the third part, not to mention, Han Shanping came to Ye Ming just for this matter. Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang are both old foxes in the circle, so if they can guess the secret, it is normal. thing.

In the fourth part, in Han Shanping's office, Ye Ming sat there relaxingly drinking water. Yes, that’s right, just drinking water.

In the fifth part, in this office, most big shots don't dare to take a breath.

But Ye Ming was different, he was too familiar. When I come here often, I either get scolded or have a task.

As for coming over to talk about things, this has happened before, and even asking Ye Ming and his company to help promote some activities would have led to Ye Ming being called over.

Although some things can actually be discussed on the phone, and Ye Ming will definitely do it, it is more reassuring to call him in person to arrange it.

Therefore, in an office like this, Ye Ming actually came here a lot, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

As for taking classes, there is no problem at all for a thick-skinned person like Ye Ming.

If Han Shanping didn't talk all morning, Ye Ming would dare to play in this office all morning.

I happened to have lunch here at noon.

It was precisely because Han Shanping knew that Ye Ming could do such a thing, so after waiting for a while, Han Shanping put down the document and said: "Ye Ming, there has been a lot of news about you recently, with a box office of one billion, Is this your final goal for your film?"

Now almost every media is trying to figure out when the Running Brothers movie will be able to exceed one billion.

It was precisely because the attention was so high that it finally attracted the attention of the leadership.

Ye Ming said very simply: "Master San, I really can't guarantee this. In fact, when this movie was first planned, it was just a popcorn comedy movie.

It's a big holiday. In fact, letting everyone eat popcorn and laugh at this time is basically my contribution to building a harmonious society.

As for why the current box office is so popular, I don’t know. Maybe two to three billion is part of my plan, but I can’t believe the box office this movie has now.

Therefore, don’t ask me about this. I don’t know what the final box office performance of this movie will be.

One billion, maybe a little higher, who knows.

I wish it were a little higher. After all, I am an investor, and as a boss, naturally the higher the box office, the better. "

This is considering the problem from the perspective of a businessman, so Ye Ming's answer is quite satisfactory.

But as for why there is such a high box office, Ye Ming actually did not give an answer.

After all, it was true. Ye Ming never thought that for a popcorn movie like this, even with the addition of special effects, the box office would actually be a bit higher.

Han Shanping nodded and said: "A movie like this is indeed an accident. But I have also watched it, and there are some patterns that can be seen.

One is that this is a movie with a relatively good fan base. Variety shows like Running Brothers are relatively popular and have an audience base.

Also, your special effects are relatively good. If they are comparable to Hollywood, they are not bad at all. The most important point is that there is no obvious opponent in the Lunar New Year festival.

If a movie like yours had to find a rival in this Lunar New Year, it would be Golden Armor.

But this Yimou movie is about to be finished. Therefore, under such a situation, it basically means that it will not have a big impact on you.

As for other Lunar New Year movies, it is impossible for them to have much impact on your movie.

At this point, it can be said to be a very obvious thing. These three aspects are the key to making your department a hit.

But we don't think it's enough. "When Ye Ming heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

He was stunned for a while and then said: "Boss, are you kidding me about this? Isn't the box office boss not satisfied?"

Han Shanping waved his hand and continued: "Actually, the development of movie box office in the past two years has reached a bottleneck.

After the outbreak of Zhang Yimou's Heroes, the box office of the Chinese film market has made great progress, but now, the pace of this development has slowed down.

In other words, a bottleneck has been reached.

This is what we don’t want to see, so we need a movie, a hit movie to encourage everyone.

Your film is lucky enough to be selected.

This is also caused by your own comparative efforts. We believe that one billion is not the final goal. 1.5 billion, 1.8 billion, or even 2 billion is the final goal of your movie. Target.

Only in this way can we encourage everyone, make everyone work harder to make movies, and make the capital market pay more attention to movies. "

Two billion, this is an impossible goal. It is impossible, at least not now.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "As for this matter, in fact, if it is 1.5 billion, it is still possible to complete such a matter.

It is impossible for me to think about 1.8 billion. I have never thought about 1.8 billion before.

If it's two billion, don't even think about it. It's impossible for me to complete such a task.

Even if you kill me, I can't complete this kind of task myself. After all, I can’t take the audience to the cinema to watch a movie, right? "

Ye Ming didn't need to think about some things. He knew directly from the results that they couldn't be accomplished. At this time, he became very decisive. (To be continued)
