Drama Guardian

Brother Lu waited for a long time at the hotel before he waited for the eldest brother who returned from the airport.

The two temporarily used the small meeting room of the hotel, closed the door, spread out a row of materials, and sat with two chairs facing each other.

Brother Lu still felt unwilling to Yu Jia's side, hesitating whether he should take the initiative, and asked Lu Jianxing: "I didn't say it to death last night, why did this person change his mind overnight? Could it be because of other reasons? Anyone touch him?"

Lu Jianxing kept drinking tea and listening, but seeing that he was still unwilling to give up, he could only remind him: "It's a good thing if we can't cooperate."

Brother Lu looked up at him suspiciously.

Lu Jianxing said: "The company is now a tight rope at both ends. Your energy is limited, so the top priority is to take care of the base camp. Yujia's piece of cake is too big, not only you want it, but others also want a piece of it. If you are not careful, there will be internal and external troubles. What's more, the company is using money everywhere, and it is better to be cautious."

Brother Lu sighed: "Why don't I want to be more cautious, but this is indeed a rare opportunity for him. I don't think there is a breakthrough on Director Lu's side. If Director Tian is appointed, to be honest, I don't have enough confidence. Now the recent income The main thing is to wait for the payment of "Tower of Giants", which is not safe."

"Tower of Giants" is the movie that Chen Cai wants to run with Xueying to promote. Tianyi has followed up the investment in this movie at the beginning of the preparation, and jointly bears the guaranteed distribution with the other two, the guaranteed amount is [-] million.

That is to say, if the final box office is less than [-] million yuan, Tianyi and the other two will share the losses.If the box office is higher than this number, then they will take the profit according to the agreed ratio.

However, since Tianyi only invested funds, Dongshi Media was responsible for the entire set of publicity and distribution, so the film was finally set on July 7, and it was released at the same time as two other domestically-produced films.

Brother Lu was very dissatisfied with this. He said it twice before, but he couldn't help but bring it up again today.

"What Dongshi Media did was too unkind. Just to protect the other two films in their hands, they arranged "Tower of the Giants" into the death group. And what's more, they are doing hunger marketing at this time, and there is no screening and screening. Premiere. Without warming up word-of-mouth, how could it be possible to get the film on the first day?"

"We have to think carefully about it in the future," Lu Jianxing saw him irritated, and comforted him, "But Dongshi also participated in the guarantee this time, and they have rich experience in publishing, so there shouldn't be any major problems. But you... have you met recently? what is the problem?"

Brother Lu just flew over yesterday morning, and went to meet Yujia after meeting Lu Jianxing. At that time, he was a little too excited, but today he became a little too anxious after only one night.

Lu Jianxing felt that he might have encountered some difficulties, but although the company was in a tense situation, the asset profit and loss column on the financial statements was fairly optimistic. In other respects, Wang Dong hadn't made any moves recently, and even Lu Kemeng and the others were stable very.

He couldn't figure it out, so he went to see brother Lu, who looked weird again.

Lu Jianxing secretly guessed in his heart, and simply asked, "How is Mr. Wu's project going?"

Brother Lu was stunned for a moment, as if he was very surprised that he would mention this, and hurriedly said: "That's no problem, although the investment is a bit more, but the turnover is fast, and you can see profits soon."

"That's good." Lu Jianxing was relieved, took a look at the documents, and smiled, "I thought you were in some trouble. Although I am a little tired now, there will be a lot of inventory in the second half of the year. If you are lucky Well, maybe the annual goal can be achieved around Mid-Autumn Festival. You don’t have to do other things yourself, let your subordinates do what should be done by them.”

"Yes," Brother Lu's expression softened a little, and he sighed softly, "I've been getting a little impatient recently. Last time, Mr. Wu suggested that I go to the temple to pay respects, saying that I was guilty of Tai Sui this year, and that I had too many people. You, there are many obstacles. I thought yesterday, I can’t find a temple to stay for ten days and half a month.”

"That's impossible," Lu Jianxing laughed at him, "If you're not here, the company will be in chaos."

"You can do it!" Brother Lu looked at him, "Actually, I think it's the same if you take care of it, maybe the situation will be much better. You are not optimistic about the projects that have lost money these few times, and I am determined to go my own way."

"That's different, you are at the helm, and I and the others are paddling." Lu Jianxing waved his hands and smiled, and said, "As for my own small company, it has been lively these past few years, and I haven't made any money. what money."

"Then the project you voted for is too small. You can only shoot a few million. If the film is not of quality, it won't attract people." Brother Lu also thinks that the projects he chose are too strange, animation cultural films, what kind of unpopular What to invest in.

He also wanted to make his elder brother earn more money, so he said with all his heart: "It's just director Chen, his script is not good at first glance, and it doesn't sell well. People nowadays are tired of living, and the overall anxiety is not good. A bitter literary film."

"The box office is definitely not going to be high," Lu Jianxing said, "I don't expect to make money from this film, as long as we can arrange a good schedule, it's fine if we don't lose money."

"Then what are you trying to do? Support the new director?"

"almost."

"The director is not so easy to help. Some of you may see him as talented, but in fact they are far behind. Those who have made a big hit may not be able to pass the market test, let alone some novices." Brother Lu said , "What's more, the ones you're looking for all have some problems of old Wenqing, who can't make money and pretend to be noble. You are doing charity now."

Lu Jianxing just smiled and didn't speak.

After a while, the two of them read the documents and signed all the contracts to be signed, and only then did they see the last one.

It is Lu Han's new film co-produced with Hollywood. Because it will be made into a Chinese version of "The Lord of the Rings" and distributed globally, the cost is expected to be quite high.Now they are offering shares to the public, and Tianyi also intends to join.It is that there are some differences in the subscription amount.

This point needs to be discussed in another meeting, so we have to temporarily suppress it.

After finishing all this work, the hotel staff knocked on the door to remind the meeting room that it was time. Brother Lu put away a pile of documents and was about to leave. Suddenly he looked up and saw Lu Jianxing took out a soft cloth bag from his bag.

Seeing that he was curious, Lu Jianxing handed over the things, and then smiled and said, "Aren't you going to the temple? Father asked a friend to carve a lot of olive stones, and put two pairs of bracelets on them for me. It's not a rare thing, but disk It has been around for many years. Now I will give you a bunch. When you go to the temple, find an eminent monk to see if you can consecrate it. It is also a mascot to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth."

Brother Lu took it, and sure enough, he took out a bunch of red bracelets from the cloth bag. The olive pits were all the size of a finger belly, and there were statues of Buddha carved on them, with vivid eyebrows and charming charm.

He had heard before that Lu Jianxing's adoptive father was good at literature and calligraphy.At this time, I took a look, and sure enough, there was a signature mark the size of a grain of rice on the back of each nuclear carving, obviously it should be made by a certain celebrity.

Brother Lu guessed that this thing was expensive, he didn't understand it, and he was embarrassed to accept it, so he hurriedly refused and said: "Your father left you, just keep it. You gave it to me, which means you buried a good thing."

"It doesn't matter," Lu Jianxing said with a smile, "Who told you to be my younger brother. It just so happens that the two of you stay together. The whole family should not see each other."

Only then did Brother Lu take it over.

"Then I'll accept it." He smiled shyly, then thought of something else, and said to Lu Jianxing, "Since you said you don't want to meet outsiders, I'll also mention one. You have been in Wanna for the past two years. Deliberately avoiding it, neither using Tianyi's resources, nor letting people know that you are the boss of the company. I don't care about the previous things. I'm afraid it's not easy to find a publicity company for Director Chen's literary film this time. If If there is no good choice at that time, we will leave it at our own home.”

Lu Jianxing smiled and said, "If you don't tell me this time, I will ask you. If that's the case, then it will save trouble."

After Lu Jianxing waited for him to leave, he waited here for another two days, while Lu Han was still hanging on to him, sometimes saying he had an idea to talk about, and sometimes he was too busy filming and had no time.Lu Jianxing didn't have much patience with him, but after waiting enough time this time, he felt that he could deal with the company, so he simply went back home.

On the day he returned to the company, Chen Cai had already rushed to the second city.

Although Dongshi Media implements "hunger marketing", obviously other people don't buy it. Coupled with the flanking of two big-directed films, everyone is more inclined that this is a manifestation of the film's guilty conscience and dare not face it.

The main actors and actresses were divided into three groups, and the male and female protagonists were big names, so they went to the first-tier cities to promote, while Xueying was divided into the second group, and ran with other actors and teachers in the second and third lines.

At first, Chen Cai thought that there would be a rest time, but unexpectedly, the time was much tighter than he imagined. He got up early every day and hurried to catch an early flight. After arriving, he would arrange interviews and media meetings without waiting for a rest. In addition to cooperating with the crew to promote, Chen Cai had to think about Xueying herself to increase exposure and topicality.In the evening, the group will go to six or seven movie theaters.

Lu Jianxing called him and wanted to come and see him, but Chen Cai figured out that her private time was only for eating, so she simply refused.

The first day of "Tower of Giants" is not high, only 25%.But what is surprising is that the word-of-mouth of the two imported blockbusters has been declining all the way, followed by adjustments to the film schedule.

After Chen Cai's road show ended, the film schedule of "Tower of the Giants" finally stabilized at around 31%. After two weeks, the box office finally exceeded [-] million.

Lu Jianxing felt at ease, and seeing that the situation here was stable, he finally remembered to go to Wana to take a look.

Mr. Liu was looking for him these few days. Seeing that he finally came to the company this time, he hurriedly reported the current situation, and asked again: "That director Chen contacted me last month. He said that he started preparations in August. We are preparing for a formal meeting in two days."

Lu Jianxing nodded: "Don't make things difficult for him in terms of funds."

"Okay. One thing. Is the 700 million yuan the production fee or the total investment?" Mr. Liu said, "Director Chen thought it was the total investment, so he asked me the other day how much money would be deducted for future announcements, so that he can save money."

Lu Jianxing didn't expect that director to be so honest, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "What kind of movie does he want to invest in, the money is the production fee, so let him spend it with peace of mind. But there is one thing, the production director, you have to watch over it."

Mr. Liu nodded happily.Lu Jianxing, the boss, is good at this. He has a lot of money, and he can invest in whatever he wants, whether it's a director or an editor, as long as he likes it, he is never ambiguous about the money, and all of them are drawn to the company.

The other party is happy, and those who do things are also relieved.

The two were chatting about the company situation when Lu Jianxing's cell phone rang again suddenly.

He took it out and took a look. Seeing that it was Lu Jianyuan, he felt strange, but he still picked it up.

Lu Jianyuan over there was obviously impatient, and said over there: "Brother, something is wrong!"

Lu Jianxing frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Lu Jianyuan was obviously very angry, and he took a while to explain: "East Vision Media is playing hooligans, and now they have a supplementary agreement, and plan to deduct the money from the box office."
