Entertainment: My house collapsed and I was forced to start making movies

Chapter 103 I can’t wait to fill up Tongguan!

1942 was a good movie, but it bombed at the box office.

There are many reasons, but three are important.

The first thing to worry about is the release date.

This is a disaster movie, but Xiaogangpao chose to release it during the Spring Festival.

Who wants to watch a disaster movie during the Chinese New Year?

Our people will never forget history and are willing to face history squarely.

But you can’t affect everyone’s mood during the Chinese New Year!

If the date is changed, it will be released on National Day.

Coupled with the words National Day, this movie will definitely have no problem paying back.

The second reason is very simple.

The disaster is not opened in the right way.

Famine was a term that appeared frequently a few decades ago.

But today, decades later, it’s hard to see.

Nowadays, people don’t dare to say that they have a big meal, but there is definitely no problem in eating enough.

To put it bluntly, if you are really hungry, just go to any restaurant and tell the boss that you are hungry and have no money to eat. It will be absolutely fine for the boss to give you a bowl of rice.

So people today are actually very unfamiliar with the term famine.

They can feel the despair conveyed in the movie, but they cannot personally experience the pain caused by famine.

Because they have never experienced it, they have never been truly hungry!
The inability to empathize prevents the audience from contributing to high box office.

The third reason is publicity.

As the leading director of domestic commercial films, Xiaogangpao naturally has his own ideas about film promotion.

But his technique was still a little too young in Tong Guan's eyes.

Look at Tongguan’s early promotion of the Crazy Series, it was truly publicity for publicity’s sake.

Troopers, scandals, crazy rhythm.
You don’t even have to show your face to promote it.

Originally, Tong Guan expected that he would completely copy the operation of the small steel cannon this time.

Film Famine, release it during the Spring Festival, and reduce publicity.

Then we all finish the job together.

But the plan failed before it even started.

Because after he submitted the script for review, Wanda was the first to find him for cooperation.

Tongguan:.
Are you playing with me? ! !
Tong Guan dares to disgust people in the industry, even big companies.

But he really didn’t dare to disgust Wan Da!
His main base is the film industry, and what does Wanda care about?

They are in charge of theater chains!
If you disgust others, if they backhand you, they will disgust you to death.

What?impossible?Does capital care about money but not people?
Look at Xiaogangpao, Wan Da was almost disgusted and quit the circle.

Moreover, even if people are looking at money, you have really made them lose money!

Wanda found Tong Guan, just glanced at the script, then asked about the budget, and promised to invest [-] million.

Tong Guan didn't dare to think about what would happen if he defrauded Wanda of [-] million.

As for what he said afterwards about how serious he was, don't make a fuss.

You used to make money just by making a bad movie, but you seriously invested hundreds of millions in a movie but lost money?Who believes it!

Helplessly, the disgusting plan that had not yet been launched was aborted, and Tong Guan could only re-plan the procedures for the film.

But fortunately, this is the special nature of the movie 1942. As long as Tong Guan does not deliberately sensationalize and then bind the audience, this movie will not be a big hit.

At most it's a small profit.

Okay, brother, I'm so merciful, I'll help you make some money.

Then Hua Yi and Ying Huang contacted Tong Guan.

After learning that Wanda invested 5000 million, they expressed their willingness to invest [-] million each.

Since then, the filming of 1942 has not started, and the team has not even been prepared. The investment for this film has already been raised to [-] million, and the three companies have said that they can add more.

From this we can see how jealous these companies are of Tongguan's earning power.

Other directors have to beg their grandparents to find investment, and they also have to go back and forth with investors.

But when they arrived at Tongguan, everyone wanted to put their investment directly into Tongguan's mouth.

Stuff it all in!

stuffed!

"Boss, why are you looking so sad?"

Yang Mi looked at Tong Guan and asked.

She didn't know why, but her boss's expression hadn't changed since he answered a few phone calls.

Tong Guan glanced at Yang Mi, then slumped down on the director's chair with dull eyes.

"Wan Dahua and Yinghuang just contacted me. Three companies are willing to invest [-] million in my new movie."

"so much?!"

Yang Mi exclaimed, and then asked in confusion: "Then this is a good thing, it means that everyone recognizes your ability!"

"Hehehe, I would rather they didn't recognize me so much."

Tong Guan laughed twice.

Ding Ding Ding!
At this time, his cell phone rang again.

Seeing the name on the phone, Tong Guan subconsciously sat up straight.

"Hey, you're right. That's true. But okay, okay. As long as Miss Jing can adapt to it, I will definitely do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Goodbye, bye."

Yang Mi swore that this was the first time she had seen Tong Guan with such a serious attitude.

Even, a little humble.

This made her very curious about the person on the other end of the phone.

After Tong Guan hung up the phone, Yang Mi pointed to his cell phone and said nothing.

When Tong Guan saw this, he also said: "A big boss who can't be offended, he asked me to stuff someone."

"Who?"

"Jingtian, he's the one who asked me to shoot the MV before."

"She, is she a lady from whose family?"

Yang Mi asked curiously.Tong Guan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"It's just someone we can't afford to offend anyway."

Yang Mi blinked her big eyes: "Boss, can you tell me a little bit?"

"It happens to be in charge of us, guess who it is?"

Yang Mi thought for a moment, then her eyes widened, "It can't be"

Tong Guan shrugged and said nothing.

In fact, many people have speculated about Jingtian's background, and even speculated about Wanda's head.

But the problem is that just Wan Da is really not as powerful as everyone thinks.

Domestic entertainment, Hong Kong entertainment, and even domestic and foreign co-productions Wan Dazhen is not that exciting.

The most important thing is that Da Tiantian is losing money with every movie, every movie is a flop, and its reputation is in shambles.

If it's just a high-level executive from Wanda, you really can't afford the loss.

Even after 17 years, Jingtian's resources have deteriorated, and some people say that the financial backer behind her is no longer good.

But is there a possibility that someone changed departments that year?

"Then boss, are you going to let Miss Jing be the heroine?"

"Whatever, give her whichever role she likes."

"Then what if she doesn't perform well?"

"Then there's nothing I can do. How about you refuse it for me?"

"No, no, no, no." Yang Mi waved her hands repeatedly, "What am I? I'm going to reject them."

"Then you are talking nonsense."

Tong Guan doesn't really care which role Jing Tian likes.

At worst, I'll just shoot one shot at a time.

When Liu Haocun first debuted, didn't everyone praise her for her acting skills and aura?

The results of it?No, it was Lao Mouzi who taught me shot by shot.

What he, Lao Mouzi, can do, I, Tong Guan, can't do?

Besides, there will be so many veteran actors on the scene, won’t Tong Guan do the hard work?
Leave them all to me to serve the young lady!

Let me serve you alone?Beautiful thought!
Ding Ding Ding!
Just as he was thinking about it, Tong Guan's cell phone rang again.

Tong Guan thought it was because the boss had not finished his instructions, so he quickly answered the phone.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"You? Oh, our child guides are so polite now!"

Tong Guan's face darkened when he heard Liu Yifei's voice on the other end of the phone.

He looked at the sky and said, "How dare you call me in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that your mother will know?"

"I'm not afraid. Didn't you realize that this mobile phone number belonged to me before?"

Tong Guan took a look and realized it was true!
"Hey, your mother is willing to let you out of the cage?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about?"

"Tell me, what's the matter this time?"

"Hey, are you going to make a new movie? It's said that hundreds of millions have been invested in it."

"Is your news so good?"

Tong Guan was a little surprised. After all, he had just decided on this matter. Liu Yifei called within two hours. She was so well-informed?
"Who in the industry doesn't know that now, there are a lot of people waiting to find you for a role."

"What about you, you're also here to get a role?"

"Yes, yes, the last time I made such a big investment, I was the king of bad movies you said. This time I'm here to harm you!"

Liu Yifei's tone was a little excited.

After all, this is Tongguan's biggest investment so far, and you can tell it's a blockbuster just by thinking about it.

"Oh, it's really not good. This time the movie is about acting."

"What do you mean? You scolded me for my lack of acting skills again, right?"

"It's just a matter of fact."

"Well, I still have you. You can teach me. When the time comes, we will take our time filming, and I can stay with you for a while longer."

Liu Yifei said coquettishly.

She really wanted to spend more time with Tong Guan.

Her mother didn't agree before, but now she finally has a legitimate excuse. Of course, she can stay a little longer.

"It really doesn't work, I have a young lady to take care of this time."

"Who?"

"Miss Jing, do you understand?"

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and asked: "That Miss Jing who asked you to shoot the MV?"

"correct."

Liu Yifei fell silent again.

Because of her godfather, she knows many people well.

She understands especially the untouchable existence like Miss Jing.

Knowing that Miss Jing was going to join the group, Liu Yifei's tone was also a little low.

"Ah, doesn't that mean it's not my fault?"

Although Tong Guan is not a responsible person, Liu Yifei's heart is really devoted to him, and it's not good for him to take care of her at all.

"Let's see, this movie is expected to start filming at the end of the year at the earliest, and later next year. You can find a way to hone your acting skills. Then I will send you the script in advance, and you can practice it quietly, and then come to the audition. As long as your acting skills pass, the role will be perfect." If it doesn’t overlap with Jingtian, I’ll just use you, okay?”

"Really?"

Hearing Tong Guan say this, Liu Yifei's tone was full of surprise.

What a care it was to get the entire script before the audition!
And she got the script half a year in advance. If she still couldn't get the role, it would really be her own problem.

"Really, you have to work hard. This is the most I can help you with, but apart from the female lead, there aren't many other female characters."

"It's okay. In such a big production, I will get a lot of benefits if I participate in it."

"Okay, it's best if you think so."
