Chapter 260: 1.3 billion walking, patent barriers! (Please vote for me)(1/4)

If "33 Days of Love" is a box office dark horse, then "囧囧" is a magic horse!

In its previous life, the box office of "Broken Love" was only over 300 million.

Because of Wang Yi's investment, increased publicity and distribution, and the traffic of Meiyou, it was hotly searched every day, and coupled with the overseas release, it finally won a box office of 800 million!

But in the previous life, "囧囧" directly won a box office of 6.7 billion, becoming the annual champion!

No matter in terms of quality, box office, or popularity, "Love Is Not Blind" completely exploded.

Now if there is Wang Yi's investment and resource support, it is no longer a matter of 1.2 billion. There is hope to hit 1.5 billion or even 2 billion!

Originally, Wang Yi was worried about not having a strong film director at his disposal.

Well now, Xu Zheng has delivered it to his doorstep, and even brought the box office champion "Thailand"!

Where is this new director? He is clearly a walking 1.3 billion!

What a surprise!

As for Chen Cheng, he is not yet mature at the moment and needs to hone his skills for another half year.

As a result, Chen Cheng's "Detective Chinatown" will start filming in the second half of next year and will be released in 2013!

In 2012, we have to rely on Xu Zheng's "Thailand"!

As for character, Wang Yi doesn't care. In business, they are just tools working for him.

To put it bluntly, Xu Zheng has the strength and knows how to advance and retreat, so Wang Yi will give him a chance, reuse him, and invest in him.

After the two parties cooperated and split the box office, Wang Yi made hundreds of millions, and Xu Zheng also gained fame and fortune. From a new director to a first-line director, his status soared!

Everyone is happy.

If the other party doesn’t understand the general situation and is ignorant, then I’m sorry and just throw it away!

Even for the next film "囧", Wang Yi will complete the script in advance and use another director to shoot it.

In the entertainment industry, there is no shortage of capable actors, let alone capable directors.

What’s missing is a sufficient budget and a sure-fire script!

And Wang Yi happens to have both of these points!

In fact, a script that is bound to be a hit, as long as the director is strong, the actors are good at acting, and the funding is sufficient, there is a high probability that it will become a hit, even if it is a remake!

For this reason, many popular domestic movies in previous lives were direct remakes of popular foreign movies.

For example, Chen Cheng has embarked on the path of no return for remakes since Tang Tan.

"Manslaughter 2", for which he is the producer, is actually a remake of Ah San's "Manslaughter".

The Producer's "The Disappearance" has a box office of 3.5 billion. It is also a remake of the unpopular Soviet Union film "A Trap for the Bachelor".

It can be said that as long as the script is good, the remake will be a hit!

What's even more terrible is that everyone is copying what they're doing.

So much so that many directors and producers in previous lives gave up on original creations and directly started making remakes with Chen Cheng.

The popular "It's Hot", director Zhang's daughter's "Rescue the Suspect", etc., are all remakes!

However, 2011 was fine, as original content was still the main focus.

But the requirements for original scripts are much higher.

This has also led to the fact that 80% of the current movies are losing money, with some losing tens of millions and many losing hundreds of millions.

But Wang Yi doesn't have to worry about this problem. He has high-quality scripts and sufficient funds.

Just find a capable director and high-quality actors and shoot it.

As for the promotion and distribution of offline theaters, that is not a problem, there is a dedicated distributor to handle it.

The distributor can get a few points of box office share, and what it does is communicate with theaters and promote the distribution!

Of course, Wang Yi has his own platform, which is also a very powerful promotional channel. It can be regarded as bringing its own resources and traffic.

As for online distribution after the theatrical release, with Xingyi Video, that is no longer a problem.

Whether it is to start online paid screening immediately after the screening, or to switch to free viewing for members after a period of time, it is Wang Yi who has the final say.

It can be said that Wang Yi is not only the producer, but also half of the publisher!

As for the director, Wang Yi also looked down upon him very lightly.

Whether it is Xu Zheng or Chen Cheng, if they are sensible, then they should be reused and vigorously cultivated.

In the future, they can become powerful directors and producers employed by Xingyi Media, allowing them to gain both fame and fortune and win awards.

If you are not sensible and squeeze out the remaining value, kick it away and replace it with someone who is sensible!

To put it bluntly, it all depends on the other party’s performance!

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Director Xu, please sit down and drink tea!"

"Thank you!" Director Xu was still a little nervous because the guy opposite was too high up.

"Director Wang, this is a movie I'm planning to shoot. It's called "囧"!"

With that said, Director Xu handed over the script.

""囧囧"!" Wang Yi took over the script and was secretly happy, as expected.

How lucky.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Wang Yi invested heavily in "Love Lost" and helped "Love Lost" become a box office hit, making him well-known in the entertainment industry.

It is normal for Xu Zheng to come to your door today.

Even in the follow-up, I am afraid that more directors will come to us with scripts.

So good!

Wang Yi took the script and threw it on the table without even reading it.

Xu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition: 'Is Mr. Wang not interested? Is he going to become a prostitute?'

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "I won't read the script. Tell me what kind of story it is. Only if you can impress me can you impress the audience."

"Okay, Director Wang, the story goes like this..."

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly.

Wang Yi listened and nodded. The plot was similar to the previous life.

But many places are different, slightly flawed and not mature enough.

Wang Yi pointed out these places one by one.

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows with joy: "Director Wang is so awesome, I didn't even expect it. There is indeed a problem. But how to deal with it better?"

Wang Yi gave suggestions based on the plot in his memory.

Xu Zheng immediately expressed his admiration: "Wang Dong Yingming, this way, it is much more perfect. It has directly turned from a flaw into a highlight!"

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "More than that, if you film it well, you might be able to make a famous scene!"

"Yes, thank you to Director Wang for your guidance, I have benefited a lot!" Xu Zheng was excited.

I never expected that Wang Yi was not only so approachable, but also so professional.

Wang Yi was able to point out the loopholes that Xu Zheng couldn't find to the point.

For problems that Xu Zheng couldn't solve, Wang Yi could easily give a perfect solution!

For a time, Xu Zheng was extremely excited.

This is not only a benefactor and father, but also a mentor who provides guidance!

Who is not confused after watching this?

Du Tianhua was like this back then, and Xu Zheng is even more like this now!

I just feel that I have met a close friend and a noble person!

The two talked for a whole morning before analyzing the entire play.

"Director Wang's words gave me a sudden enlightenment and I benefited a lot. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered so many problems. It was your suggestions that made "囧囧" perfect and sublime!"

Xu Zheng was very excited and benefited a lot.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Director Xu is also very capable of understanding. He can draw inferences from analogies and draw inferences from one instance to another. If it had been another director and I had pointed out the problem to him, he would probably still think he was right!"

"Hahaha, yes, those great directors have tempers, and they will inevitably be...stubborn!" Xu Zheng laughed.

In fact, that's how people are.

At the moment, Xu Zheng is still a new director. He has no qualifications and no position. He is very modest. He can listen to whatever Wang Yi says and think carefully.

But if it were a big director, and Wang Yi pointed out a bug in the plot, the big director might seem to be listening, but he would also consider accepting it due to the richness of the financier.

But I must be complaining in my heart: "You, a mobile phone maker, dare to teach me how to make movies? A layman can teach an expert?"
