In the corner of the screening room, Rong Guang and his wife were chatting with Xu Ke and his wife. The nickname issue was just a joke. When Xu Ke and his wife chose to come over to support them, Rong Guang and Yuan Quan were quite happy.

"Master, if you really want to show me face, please lend me Sister Nan." Rong Guang said nonsense happily, "Nowadays, good actors can always be found, and good housekeepers are rarer than aliens."

The Sister Nan that Rong Guang is talking about is Shi Nansheng, Xu Ke’s wife. She is the housekeeper of a top entertainment company and a first-class producer in the industry. It is said that Xu Ke can achieve such great results because of Shi Nansheng, a good wife.

It’s a must.

What’s interesting is that Shi Nansheng entered the industry by rushing to the shelves.

In fact, Nan Sheng had made a name for herself at ATV very early, but later ATV was sold to the Australians and the team broke up. McDonald invited Shi Nansheng to be a producer, but Shi Nansheng was not interested. At this time, she was not willing to bother at all.

I'm trying so hard to be a housekeeper.

Then New Art City invited Xu Ke, and they hoped to find a New Wave director to collaborate with (surprise or not). In fact, many directors of old Hong Kong films are from the New Wave, and they all had literary tendencies when they were young.

So how did you find Xu Ke? It was Qi Hu from several new art cities in Mecca. He pretended to buy a copy of "Movie Biweekly" that he never read, and saw Xu Ke's name on it, so - it was him

!

However, when Shi Nansheng accompanied Xu Ke to Xinyi City, she was surprised to find that the Seven Tigers of Xinyi City were all night owls. They never saw anyone during the day and only appeared in the middle of the night. There was only one lonely front desk clerk in the entire company.

secretary?

Shi Nansheng's heart suddenly went cold. She thought to herself, this shabby company is taking jujube pills! Unless it finds a very capable housekeeper immediately!

I never expected that Shi Nansheng would become the housekeeper later? (laughing and crying)

In response to Rong Guang's compliment, Shi Nansheng covered his mouth and smiled. He understood that this was also a joke, because Shi Nansheng is now the vice chairman of Media Asia and also the housekeeper of Media Asia, and there is no way he will change jobs.

Xu Ke on the side asked with a smile: "Guangzai, the investment in special effects blockbusters is so huge, what method do you use to ensure profitability?"

If you are familiar with director Xu Ke, you should know that he... is very good at photographing actresses. Well! Xu Ke is indeed a friend of women. Under his hands, many actresses have successfully created the best classics in their careers.

Role.

However, Xu Ke is still an avant-garde director. It's not that he shoots avant-garde works, but that he dares to be the first in the world. He is often the first to eat crabs. Some of them were successful, and there were also box office flops. His bloody movie

The special effects blockbuster "Seven Swordsmen" should be in preparation now, right?

Rong Guang thought about it for a few seconds. This topic was a bit big: "Sir, you should know the other things. But I am just betting on the future."

"Betting on the future?"

"Yes, sir. We are now in the Internet era, and I am very optimistic about the future of Internet copyright. There is also the skyrocketing box office in the mainland in the future. This is just like the golden age of old Hong Kong films, and the total box office data will skyrocket at a geometric level. Every year is good

There are only so many works, so the box office of top works will become very exaggerated."

"Are you just looking for future profits?" Xu Ke was a little confused, "You know, many investors are very short-sighted. They hope to see cash tomorrow."

Rong Guang smiled slightly: "That's true. The current markets in the three places across the Taiwan Strait cannot support special effects blockbusters at all. We must develop overseas markets. Take here as an example, the market has a minimum price of US$50,000. As long as it is sold to a few small countries,

I can earn back several million, which is enough to support many movies. I also admit that this kind of thing is very difficult, and basically there will be no gains. Therefore, my model is difficult to copy, and it needs to be obtained overseas through one film after another.

Market recognition.”

"It's not that simple, right?" Xu Xiaoxiao said. He was not ready to let Rong Guang go, "Let's talk about your movie "The Martian". Are you going to develop it as a sample? That's 1 billion!"

"It should be 1.2 billion. In the budget, there is still 150 million for publicity and distribution expenses." Regarding such an exchange, Rong Guang has no selfish thoughts.

Convincing investors is also one of the director's jobs. At least investors should see hope, otherwise who would be willing to invest in a movie?

"On the one hand, it is to save on all aspects of the crew. My goal is 50 million. Sir, you should know all this, but it offends people in the industry too much. You can use it as a reference for yourself, don't copy it mechanically."

"Then there is the box office in the Mainland. My goal is 300 million. The goal for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is 50 million. This can almost recoup more than 100 million. If you add some other copyright operations, as well as product placement and pre-title ads,

It should reach 100 million, right?”

Xu Cola was confused: "It sounds like a lot of money, but it's just a fraction?"

Rong Guang explained with a smile: "It's not like you don't know the situation at home. I've already considered a hit like "Hero", but I haven't considered what if it's a blockbuster. For the rest, I can only consider the overseas box office. My goal is

$100 million."

"100 million U.S. dollars? If we go by the most optimistic analysis, we can only get about one-eighth of it. More than 10 million U.S. dollars, isn't it just over 100 million U.S. dollars?"

"Yes! That's all we have now. But this time I shot it simultaneously in 3Dmax, and I plan to release the 3D version again in a few years. The goal this time is to get back 200 million, because movie tickets are expensive! The other 700 million,

Basically, it’s the cost of building the location. Anyway, the location will be turned into a theme park. I invested the money in an amusement park and advertised it for free. Don’t forget, my wife and I can still get almost 200 million.

The remuneration for the film. Our remuneration is too high, and outside film contracts don’t even come to us. We have to pay ourselves the salary ourselves.”

"Hahaha." Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng laughed, "Pay yourself your own salary? What you say is quite interesting."

"Master, that's not all. My wife and I's endorsements will also increase. It should be tens of millions, right? And it's an income every year. Considering the future Internet copyright, there is still a first movie for

The hidden benefits we bring are enough to provide dividends for several years.”

In fact, few people know that invisible benefits are also very important. Take Xu Ke, for example, if he hadn't filmed "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and had a good cooperation with Bayi Film Studio, and later "Changjin Lake",

Will "Watergate Bridge" find him? The relevant departments will not be able to pass it, right?

Xu Ke thought thoughtfully: "Guangzai, I heard you say that, is there really something going on?"
