161 total box office shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry!(2/3)
"Bastard, I lost HK$45 million." Lin Jianyun pointed at the nose of General Manager Tang Fenghui, and cursed: "How did you shoot me like this fool!"
"ah???"
Jiamu Film Company, the recently released movie, [Detective], suffered a huge loss, invested 70 million movies, with a box office of 20 million, recovered 7 million Hong Kong dollars, and lost 63 million Hong Kong dollars.
Wu Lianbo was so angry that he scolded director Huang Youfei: "Didn't you say that the box office is over 300 million yuan?"
“Where is the box office of 300 million?”
He grabbed the director's collar and wanted to throw him off the building.
At this moment, Yang Fenglong's face was not very good. Last year, he invested in a movie shot by his friend. [Stories of the Declaration], and he invested 80 million yuan, and finally lost 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
The movie "The Top of Martial Arts" that invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars this year was hit by [Ip Man 1], and the box office in the mainland was bleak, with a box office of 2.5 million, and a angrily loss of 50 million Hong Kong dollars.
The female model Shushu massaged him, "Young Master Yang, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Fenglong was so annoyed that he was in a bad mood. He invested a lot of money in this investment, but he didn't expect to lose a lot of money.
I don't dare to make movies this year.
It's so bad. I can't release albums, and I can't make movies.
"Go away, don't bother me." Yang Fenglong threw the teacup to the ground in annoyance.
Shaw Brothers Film, Phoenix Pictures, Galaxy Images, and Yongsheng Films have not produced any films in the past two years. The box office this year is not good. Although I haven’t lost much money, I haven’t made much money.
This Gbe Group album is very popular, and the box office of movies has exceeded 100 million.
Although [Ip Man 1] and [Mei Lanfang] are not the highest-grossing movies, they are indeed one of the most profitable movies this year.
As for Gbe Group's boast that these two films cost a huge amount of HK$90 million, but those who understand it know it, the production cost and promotion costs will definitely not exceed HK$30 million.
In other words, gbe Group invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars this time and received a return of nearly 100 million.
··
At this moment, Gbe Group Company is holding a celebration meeting at the Wenhua Hotel, celebrating warmly, and many guests have also come to the celebration meeting.
The two films achieved great success, while the box office of other film companies was extremely bleak during the same period, and the Gbe Group was booming.
This time [Ip Man 1] made Ye Zidan completely popular. In the future, I will continue to launch [Ip Man 2], [Ip Man 3]··
Gbe Music Company, General Manager Zhang Dan, Music Producer Shi Yuqiang··
Gbe Brokerage Company, General Manager Zhao Weihui··
Gbe Film and Television Company, the great director Chen Musheng.
Gbe Model Company, General Manager Qu Yuping, and Public Relations Manager Qi Shuchun.
These senior executives came to the private room under the leadership of Zhu Renzhi, the vice president and executive director.
This time Wang Guanxi did not appear in public.
"Boss!" Everyone was very excited and looked at Wang Guanxi in admiration.
Wang Guanxi said lightly: "This time I did a good job. Let's continue making movies, don't stop!"
"Let all the four major entertainment groups in Hong Kong lose money and let them fall down!"
"It's the boss," Zhu Renzhi was the first to shout.
"It's the boss!" Others followed one after another.
Then Wang Guanxi made arrangements for the strategy below GBe Group.
Filming movies [Sound of Wind], [Surprise Three Shots Shooting the Case], [Siege of October], [Very Perfect], 10 million, 10 million, 25 million, and 10 million respectively.
There are 4 movies in total, with a total investment cost of HK$55 million.
The cost is not high.
It is now 2008, and the investment cost of many movies will not be high, because the box office still has limitations. The media will report movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan.
These four movies are actually filmed by other film companies in the future, but Wang Guanxi’s Gbe Group is going to be filmed in advance.
Walk their path and leave them with no way out, and they can only shoot some movies that are not in line with the audience's appetite and then lose money.
You should know that not every movie will be popular with the audience. You will not buy it because you hired a big star. Many movies are so bad that your parents don’t recognize you.
It's like the [Golden Compass], with an investment cost of US$180 million, but the result was that the company went bankrupt.
Now the audience's consumption is still not up to date. Many of those who invest more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars or perhaps hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars will lose money. Myth, this movie has an investment of 1.6 Hong Kong dollars, and the box office is only 127 million yuan, and it loses 110 million Hong Kong dollars.
And this year is a bleak year for the Hong Kong film and television industry. Of course, GBe Group will rise and break their monopoly. Coupled with the shock wave of the financial tsunami, many companies have suffered huge losses. The stock prices of some listed entertainment groups have fallen into shit, falling below 0.10 yuan per share, which is simply worthless.
It will be no problem to let Gbe acquire a film company at that time.
The remaining HK$20 million is used to become a branch in Lucheng City.
The name is gbe Lushi Branch.
After the global financial tsunami, Wang Guanxi will make a lot of money. He will go to Lu City to plan for the future mainland consortium.
Let the entertainment company take the lead.
Nowadays, the mainland entertainment companies are not as many as in the future, with so fierce competition and the market is not saturated.
Not only filming movies, but also filming TV series.
For example, mythological movies are a loss of money, but mythological TV series are a profitable one. You can buy them and then shoot TV series.
Thinking of this, Wang Guanxi said, "Mr. Zhu, go and continue to buy the copyright of the [mythical TV series]."
Myth Anger lost 110 million Hong Kong dollars. Yinghuang is not afraid to shoot now, but the TV series is very popular.
These Hong Kong directors don’t know the taste changes of mainland audiences at all. Many high-investment movies, even if they are of good quality, will still make you lose money. Where is the bloody box office?
Now the funds of gbe Film and Television Company have been planned, but gbe Music Company still has a lot of liquid cash, which is more than enough to buy the copyright of mythological TV series.
Zhu Renzhi hurriedly said: "Okay, boss, I'll go to the people who are in Yinghuang Entertainment right away."
He immediately called and chatted for a while, but the other party agreed, but the bid was quite high, and it cost several million Hong Kong dollars. Zhu Renzhi refused, so the call ended.
Wang Guanxi said, "Old Zhu, millions are not expensive, I will buy it."
I will buy the mythical TV series first and wait for the taste changes of mainland audiences. I can shoot it next year and then it will be released in 10 years.
"Okay, boss, then I'll call you again." Zhu Renzhi called again, chatted, gave a quote, and the other party said to think about it.
At this moment, Yinghuang Entertainment Group, Yang Fenglong shook his head, picked up the coffee cup with a sneer, and lost 110 million Hong Kong dollars.
How much money can a TV series make?
Moreover, the joint venture film companies under Yinghuang Entertainment have no plans to shoot TV series now.
This gbe actually wants the copyright of the TV series, so I'm afraid I'm stupid.
Sell the copyright of the TV series for millions and let them shoot TV series to see how much they lose.
So he called Fang Long, and after discussing it, the two decided to agree to the request of Gbe Group to buy the mythical TV series.
At around 7 pm, everyone signed an agreement, and Gbe Group transferred 4.5 million yuan from its subsidiary Gbe Company and bought the copyright of the mythical TV series.
Both sides were very satisfied.
Yang Fenglong didn't know that he had made the stupidest decision.
Future mythical TV series are really very popular, satisfying the appetites of mainland audiences at that time, especially young students.
In the Internet cafe, you can see many girls and boys stay up late to watch this TV series.
Yang Fenglong's decision tonight's greed for small gains will cause Yinghuang Entertainment to lose a lot of money in the future.
Then Wang Guanxi said to Zhu Renzhi: "After Lushen's branch was established, the mainland branch would start recruiting actors to shoot [mythical TV series], and hire superstars from Yinghuang to serve as artistic directors with high salaries."
"By the way, all actors need to find mainlanders to shoot, pure and classical and implicit"
"Don't show any foreign stars. All the stars from the mainland are used. Men must be handsome, women must be beautiful. If they don't look good, they will pass them all, otherwise they will not be popular."
Thinking of this, Wang Guanxi emphasized: "Remember, you must be handsome, you must be beautiful, and the villains in the TV series must be mediocre."
Now is not the time to make the villain handsome, and the future is always the time for women to watch dramas. The villain must be handsome and sincere.
Basically, future TV series, movies, etc. must meet their aesthetics and their inner needs before they will pay.
If you are not satisfied, it is basically a blessing that my parents don’t know you.
Zhu Renzhi looked confused and asked, "Boss, the others are easy to talk about, but how can I find an actor?"
Wang Guanxi then opened the web page, searched for the leading actors of several TV series, and suggested it.
When Zhu Renzhi saw it, he immediately felt that these actors were all good and seemed to be very feasible. If this TV series was filmed, it might be really popular.
Then Wang Guanxi said to Zhu Renzhi again: "By the way, you can dig these two actresses from Yinghuang Entertainment."
One is white jade, the other is Lan Yan.
Zhu Renzhi was full of questions: "Ah? I dug them all? This requires millions of liquidated damages."
"It's okay, you can dig it up first and focus on cultivating it." Wang Guanxi said lightly: "Do as I said."
"It's the boss." Since Wang Guanxi gave the order, Zhu Renzhi would naturally implement it firmly, saying that he would dig these two female artists from Yinghuang Entertainment.
