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

Chapter 176 It’s okay to give a piece of watermelon
Because it was broadcast online, the box office of "No Man's Land" soared very quickly.

When the number of users was at its highest, the number of users purchasing in a single day even reached 700 million, and the transaction amount in a single day exceeded 1.7 million.

This is a number that makes countless people jealous.

But then the amount of purchases in a single day began to decline.

Just ten days later, there were only 80 ticket purchasers in a single day.

After that, the number of people became smaller and smaller day by day.

Despite this, the total online box office of "No Man's Land" exceeded 12 billion.

Even after tax is deducted, the money ultimately reaching Tongguan is much higher than that of a theatrical release.

Now Zhuang Qiang couldn't sit still.

"Brother Guan, why don't we just stop going to theaters in the future? Now that we have our own online platform, how can we share the money with theaters?"

Tong Guan glanced at Zhuang Qiang and was speechless: "Is there something wrong with your brain? If you bypass the theater chain, do you think Wanda can let you go? We are not in the same field in the first place. You have to rob others. Money, right?”

"Yes, we are not in the same field as the other party. If we offend, we will be offended. How can they take our fairy tale videos off the shelves?"

Tongguan:.
"How should I explain this to you? Let me ask you a question first. Do you think watching movies in cinemas and online platforms has the same feeling?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Qiang immediately denied it and said: "How is this possible? The perception is completely different."

“Then do you think it’s more comfortable to watch in a movie theater or online?”

"This should be a movie theater."

Zhuang Qiang looked hesitant and seemed to understand what Tong Guan meant.

Seeing this, Tong Guan nodded: "Yes, in terms of perception and atmosphere, there is no comparison between online platforms and movie theaters."

“But we have a price advantage!”

"But at the same time, we are also a one-time business. People who buy tickets on the online platform can watch it all the time, watch it repeatedly, and even watch it with others. One ticket is worth several tickets, or even dozens of tickets. Do you think this is a good deal?
People don’t have enough to watch in the cinema, so they can only contribute one more ticket, or even a few tickets, but the online platform only requires one ticket!

And the more expensive the movie theater charges, the more we share.

Just like this time "No Man's Land", if it was released in theaters, the box office would be at least several hundred million higher.

With some marketing and some marketing, it is not impossible to hit 20 billion, and the share of the revenue may not be less than that of the online platform this time.

The most important thing is that when we release it to theaters, apart from plot issues, the theaters can take the blame for any other issues related to the movie, such as the pricing of movie tickets. We don’t have to worry about anything.

At the same time, I can bring other people to make money together, and they will definitely protect me for the sake of money.

Which do you think is better? "

"Uh" Zhuang Qiang was stunned.

He had just watched the ticket sales results of the online platform being gratifying and making huge profits. For this profit, it didn't matter if he offended Wan Da.

But he hadn't thought about anything deeper.

Now that Tong Guan said this, he instantly felt that his previous idea was a bit stupid.

"Brother Guan, you are right, but I have one last question."

"Tell me, it would be weird if you had no problem."

Tong Guan looked indifferent.

If Zhuang Qiang could figure everything out, then he wouldn't be Wolong.

"Brother Guan, you have made money with Hua Yi and Ying Huang before, but they still stabbed you in the back. Why are you still making money with Wan Da?"

Tongguan:.
"Companies like Huayi and Yinghuang are my colleagues, and my colleagues are enemies. Isn't it normal for them to backstab me? If he backstabs me, I will backstab him.

But it's totally different. He's not on the same track as us.

For example, companies like our Fairy Tale and Huayi Yinghuang are manufacturers, while Wanda is a distributor. You have seen that manufacturers often have conflicts with each other, but have you seen that manufacturers and distributors often have conflicts? ? ",

"I've seen it before. Isn't that the owner of the community where I lived before?"

"Stop, stop, stop." Tong Guan interrupted the serious-looking Zhuang Qiang speechlessly.

"I'm telling you about the city gate building, and you're talking about the hip axle with me. Anyway, all you need to know is that there is only a transaction between us and Wanda, and there is no competition. If there is no competition, there is no need to offend, understand? "

"Oh, I got it!"

Tong Guan has said a lot before, but none of them are as effective as this sentence.

At least Zhuang Qiang understood.

There is no possibility of offending Tongguan and Wanda.

The other party will not take the initiative to offend Tong Guan, and Tong Guan will not take the initiative to provoke Wanda.

After a few days, No Man’s Land’s popularity began to wane.

Although some netizens are still discussing the plot of this movie, it is no longer as popular as it was at the beginning.

Coupled with the gradually decreasing number of tickets purchased by Fairy Tale Video.

All this verifies Tong Guan's initial statement.

The online platform is a one-and-done deal.

After all, "No Man's Land" was released at the right time and in the right place.

There is the popularity of Tong Guan who just won the Oscar, the popularity of his "Reckoning", the popularity of "The Fairy Tale's Last Song Before Leaving the Country", and the popularity of the first film being released in theaters ahead of time.

In addition, the film quality and plot are already good.

If this was released in theaters, the box office would skyrocket.

Seeing that the popularity of "No Man's Land" has waned, theaters also arranged for Tong Guan's "Parasite" to be released.

In fact, they had wanted to release it for a long time, but the popularity of "No Man's Land" was too high before, so they had no choice but to suppress it.

Now that the popularity of "No Man's Land" has just subsided, they can't help but want to make money.

After all, the later the show is released, the less likely people are to buy tickets to watch it.And the box office of this movie was just as Tong Guan expected.

It's also a one-shot deal.

Unlike "No Man's Land," which was a one-and-done deal, "Parasite" was more about the audience having seen it.

The domestic release time is half a year later than that in Europe and the United States.

In the past six months, I don’t know how many pirated copies have been released.

Especially not long ago, Tong Guan also won four Oscar trophies for this movie.

With all kinds of popularity, piracy at that time was extremely rampant.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that no one has watched this movie.

There are still some viewers who have watched the pirated version and decided to go to the cinema to buy a ticket to support Tong Guan.

Although the proportion of this group of people among pirated audiences is not high, there are so many viewers based on the movie "Parasite" that "Parasite" directly hit a first-day box office of 2.6 million on the day of its domestic premiere.

More than 70.00% of cities have full venues.
But this extreme first-day box office also led to extreme effects.

The single-day box office on the second day was only 2700 million.

Although it is still a lot, it is not at the same level as the first day.

And this is also a rare phenomenon among movies directed by Tong Guan, with a box office gap of nearly ten times.

"Boss, Parasite's box office was so high on the first day, why was it so small yesterday?"

On the set, Zhao Liying looked at Tong Guan with curiosity.

She didn't know much about these things, but simply felt that this phenomenon was a bit outrageous.

Tong Guan glanced at Zhao Liying's phone and said, "Because everyone has seen it."

Zhao Liying wanted to say something more, but Tong Guan had already waved her hand and said: "Don't ask, get ready to shoot. I'll keep an eye on it for two days and let the reporter send some photos to say I'm directing. I'll have to go to another crew later." "

"Oh~"

Zhao Liying responded and then went to the side to prepare for shooting.

At this time, Zhuang Qiang walked to Tong Guan.

Since Li Yitong ran away last year, Tongguan has not hired any more assistants. For more than a year, Zhuang Qiang has been acting as Tongguan's assistant.

It happened to be his original job, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Brother Guan, after learning from Yang Mi and others, do you still plan to train artists?"

"Raise them, why don't you raise them?" Tong Guan raised his eyebrows: "At worst, if you raise them, you can soft-block them and ask for liquidated damages."

In the past, Tongguan wanted to cultivate a bunch of first-line artists, and then rely on them to make a steady stream of money for himself.

In order to make them more willing, he could even give up part of the share.

Although he knows that people will change once they have money and may not be under his control.

But in his opinion, as long as his influence continues, the people below will not be able to change the world.

But what happened this time made Tong Guan realize that no one would stay in trouble forever.

There are always bad times.

Rather than hoping for instability, make some quick money.

First cultivate artists, and then crazily squeeze their labor force.

Quit?Then block it!

If you want to make money again, you have to terminate the contract.

You will lose money if you terminate the contract!
In a real sense, artists are used as black slaves.

Of course, the main reason for all this is that Tong Guan still has many TV drama scripts in his hands.

And the team under him can already film these TV series independently.

He doesn't have to go through all the trouble, just create someone, then do some marketing, and a second-tier artist will appear.

Good luck is a ray of luck.

At this time, their utilization value is good.

Then they started to squeeze and force them to terminate the contract.

The kind that will lead you to death from exhaustion if you don’t terminate the contract!
Anyway, Tongguan has insured them, so if they are really tired, they will just apply for insurance.

Simple and crude.

At most, it's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for humanitarianism.

Today, Tongguan has evolved from a so-called capitalist to a local slave owner.

To him, the lives of black slaves matter?

"Then do you want me to recruit another group of artists?"

"Yes, yes, it can be done by either male or female, as long as the image is acceptable. It is best if you have a professional background. Such acting skills can be used directly. Anyway, the requirements of TV series are low, as long as you can watch it. This can minimize the cost."

"Okay, leave it to me. I will definitely find a group of black slaves with a good image."

Zhuang Qiang responded, then went to the side and started giving orders to the people below.

He has almost the same idea as Tong Guan now.

Are the people below considered human beings?

His evaluation is that it is better to be used as a black slave!
Just give me a piece of watermelon for a moment, salary?Egg assets!

　I may not be able to make ten thousand days today. I have been packing my things during the day. I will drive back to Mianyang from Chengdu later. I will try my best to write more. If I can’t make up for ten thousand days, I will go back and make up for it.
