My Online Cloud Girlfriend - Chapter 197

[Chapter 193 The box office estimate is 600 million?]

“My Cloud Raised Girlfriend ()”

Tiandu, Xu Brothers Pictures, Chairman’s Office.

Xu Zhaorong was sitting behind the boss’s desk, and his brother and Director Zhang were sitting on the sofa.

He pondered for a long time, then leaned forward and said, “Second, get me a list of the production staff of “Twenty-Three Days of Broken Love”.”

He paused, then added, “Buy me another copy of the original novel of this movie.”

After listening to his brother’s words, Xu Zhaoqing did not dare to ask, and hurriedly went to the people below to prepare what his brother wanted.

Half an hour later, the list and the original work were sent to the chairman’s office.

After handing the materials and original work to his brother, Xu Zhaoqing sat back on the sofa.

Director Zhang looked at him, and then asked Xu Zhaorong in a low voice, “Mr. Rong, you don’t have to be so careful, right?”

Xu Zhaorong raised his hand slightly and said with a serious face, “Never underestimate the enemy.”

“Song Chuang and Yang Rou are not fools. Since they dare to give such a high box office guarantee, there must be a reason.”

After speaking, he unpacked and flipped through the original book “Twenty-Three Days of Broken Love”.

There are not many words in the whole novel.

Only about 100,000 words in total.

Xu Zhaorong watched quickly.

In less than an hour, he read it roughly.

After reading it, he frowned, then closed his eyes and began to ponder.

After a while, he opened his eyes, but instead of frowning, he picked up the list of crew members.

This time he looked more seriously, and sometimes he would stop and think for a while.

After reading the two documents, Xu Zhaorong’s brows could not be opened at all.

In the beginning, when he was flipping through the book, Xu Zhaoqing and Director Zhang were still chatting quietly about other things.

But gradually, seeing Xu Zhaorong’s brows becoming more and more wrinkled, they didn’t dare to speak, but looked at Xu Zhaorong cautiously.

.

Xu Zhaorong had books and materials on his lap, one hand was under his nose, and the fingers of the other hand tapped the table lightly, as if he was thinking about the critical moment.

For a moment, his brows stretched and he sighed, “Sure enough, the entertainment industry is full of talented people.”

Hearing Xu Zhaorong speak, Director Zhang and Xu Zhaoqing hurriedly looked over.

Xu Zhaoqing asked his brother cautiously, “Brother. What do you mean…?”

Xu Zhaorong patted the book on the table lightly, and said, “This book is very good. It is very suitable for film and television adaptation. Although it is a chick’s movie, the entry point is very unique, and it is particularly innovative.”

“In addition, the selection of this film is very good, I feel that this film has the potential to explode.”

Xu Zhaoqing looked at his brother in surprise.

However, Xu Zhaorong continued, “If I were to estimate, I feel that the box office of this film will not be low. Two or three hundred million may be possible. The only X factor is their starring and director.”

“That actor’s name is… Lu Man, right?”

“She seems to be a new generation of actresses, and she may not be able to make the feeling of this movie. It may lower the effect of the whole movie.”

“Besides, the choice of the director of this film… I don’t understand it either.”

“but….”

“We are guessing blindly, but they have seen the film.”

“So, since they dare to call out such a high guarantee, it should be a good film.”

Speaking of this, he looked at the two with a smile and said, “It seems that we have met an opponent.”

Director Zhang sat on the sofa, raised his head slightly, and asked, “Do you mean that this movie may have a higher box office than the movie “Wiretap 3″?”

Xu Zhaorong nodded, “It’s possible.”

“Even….even if it’s not as good as “Eavesdropping 3″, but it won’t be too low.”

He continued to tap the table lightly with his fingers and analyzed,

“And don’t forget.”

“The production company and distribution company of this film are their own. So, they can share 60%-65% of the benefits of this film.”

“Assume the box office of the final movie is 200 million.

Their revenue is 120 million to 130 million.

Excluding their production and publicity costs, they can also make a net profit of 60 to 70 million yuan.

”

“When the time comes, they will take out the money and supply the theater, isn’t it okay?”

Seeing Zhang Dao and his younger brother looked surprised and puzzled.

Xu Zhaorong shook his head slightly and explained, “You all need to understand their purpose for making this movie.”

“They are going to rush out of a bloody path under our ban.”

“What’s to be done is to have a good fight and then get a foothold in the circle.”

“In this case, making money or not is actually not that important to them. The most important thing for them is to win this crucial battle.”

“So even if they don’t make money and win this battle, they have achieved their goals.”

After hearing Xu Zhaorong’s words, Director Zhang and Xu Zhaoqing wanted to understand all this.

Xu Zhaoqing asked, “Then….what do we do? Keep up with it? Also negotiate with the theater chain for a guarantee? Squeeze them to death?”

Xu Zhaorong smiled and shook his head, “They don’t have to make money. But we have to make money. We can’t spend tens of millions of profits to fight with them. It’s not worth it.”

Xu Zhaoqing said a little unwillingly, “Then, let’s just admit defeat?”

“Admit defeat?” Xu Zhaorong shook his head slightly, “How is that possible.”

Xu Zhaoqing was puzzled, “Then…”

Xu Zhaorong stood up and came to the window.

His chairman’s office is located on the 16th floor of the Xu Brothers Film Building. Looking out, you can see the prosperity of the imperial capital.

He said slowly, “Since they dare to fight like this, then as opponents, we should also respect them. For example, to build momentum for them…”

As he spoke, he shouted, “Zhaoqing.”

Xu Zhaoqing stepped forward quickly, “Brother.”

Xu Zhaorong said slowly, “Go ahead and let people call out Chenlu Pictures about the 600 million box office, and vigorously publicize it. And they said that this was news from the theater, and Chenlu Pictures directly contacted them. We talked about a guarantee of 600 million yuan.”

Hearing what his brother said, Xu Zhaoqing said in surprise, “600 million?”

Xu Zhaorong glanced at him sideways, with a little disappointment in his eyes, “Yes. Or else? Let’s publicize as much as they say?”

“Kill it, understand?”

“Since you can’t hold them down, kill them.”

“Normally speaking, their first movie took 200 million yuan, and 300 million yuan at the box office is already a very good result.”

“But let’s set a target for them first: 600 million. When everyone accepts it, if they only have 200 million or 300 million, they will still lose face in the circle. It is considered to be self-confidence inflation.”

“At that time, it will still be difficult for them to gain a foothold.”

After listening to his brother’s words, Xu Zhaoqing was still a little puzzled, and he asked, “In that case, why don’t we set it a little higher? For example, 800 million? One billion?”

Xu Zhaorong: …

Xu Zhaorong didn’t speak, but Director Zhang understood.

He explained, “It should be because, if the order is too high, Morning Dew Films and the theater chain will come out to refute the rumor.”

“We advertised 600 million to them, but it was just a little more, but it was stuck on their psychological bottom line.”

“If they don’t refute the rumor, they will default to 600 million.”

“If the rumor is refuted, it is equivalent to self-certification of the 500 million guarantee.”

“The rumors of 600 million are just rumors after all, but after they prove themselves 500 million, it will become a fact. The impact will be even worse.”

“So, most of them won’t refute rumors and treat them coldly.”

Xu Zhaorong nodded slightly, and glared at his brother with a bit of hatred.

I saw Director Zhang and my brother say so.

Xu Zhaoqing finally stopped asking, and then he hurriedly left the office and started to deal with the matter of “killing”.

Looking at his back, Xu Zhaorong shook his head slightly.

Hey.

my own brother…

With a sigh in his heart, Xu Zhaorong looked at Director Zhang and asked calmly, “How’s the preparations for Lao Zhang’s new play?”

That play was the one that Lu Man was going to be in before.

Director Zhang said with a smile, “Not bad, I happen to have some new ideas, and I want to chat with you…”

“Well.” Xu Zhaorong agreed, “Come on, let’s sit down and talk slowly…”

……

With the help of the Xu brothers, it didn’t take a few days for the entire entertainment and film and television circles to know that Chenlu Pictures’ first film “Twenty-Three Days of Love” was very well done.

In order to arrange the film, the theater directly gave a box office guarantee of up to 600 million!

After knowing the news, everyone who had been following Chenlu Films before was stunned.

All the groups, all the crews who know about this matter, are discussing this matter. …

“Have you heard? The company that Lu Man set up by himself has completed the production of the film. It will be released next month.”

“I heard it, I heard it. It is said that they are full of confidence and think that the box office can reach 600 million.”

“Haha. I heard that too. Do you think Lu Man is crazy? Does she think she has such a strong fan appeal?”

“I don’t know. It’s probably swelling.” …

….

“Have you heard? The movie from Chenlu Pictures actually gave the theater a guarantee of 600 million yuan.”

“Six hundred million!? Is Chenlu Films crazy?”

“I feel crazy, too. It’s too much. It’s said they just made a chick movie.”

“Chicken movie? I remember the highest box office was only 130 million, right? Who gave them confidence?”

“I don’t know. I feel like they are going to lose this time.”

….

The entertainment industry is very small, and these rumors quickly reached the ears of Song Chuang, Yang Rou, Sister Mei and Lu Man.

The first three people were okay, after all, they were all people who had seen big winds and waves, but Lu Man couldn’t help himself.

She called Sister Beautiful to her villa again, and then held up the group chat on her mobile phone and said anxiously, “Sister! What should I do? Look, rumors about us are spreading everywhere!”

Sister Mei, who knew something about this matter, coughed and said, “Actually… Although they exaggerated a bit, they were right. We did give the theater a guarantee.”

When Lu Man heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, “Really? How much?”

Meimei said in a low voice, “Mr. Yang said it was five hundred million.”

“Five hundred million?!” Lu Man’s voice trembled.

She looked at Sister Beauty and swallowed, “Who gave the guarantee?”

Sister Mei said helplessly, “What do you think?”

Lu Man: …

She said in disbelief, “Chen Yan?”

The beautiful lady nodded.

Lu Man: …

Lu Man has mixed feelings in his heart.

Should I say Chen Yan is stupid, or should I say him… I really believe in myself too much.

Lu Man couldn’t help remembering the promise she and Chen Yan made at the gate of the villa.

Did he keep it in his mind?

But…. I said that at the beginning, but I didn’t intend to realize it.

He is really serious…

For a time, Lu Man felt that he was in a strange mood.

….

At the same time, Chen Yan was also on the phone with Song Chuang, “600 million? The other party is flattering us?”

Chen Yan frowned, then took out the photo paper that recorded “Twenty-Three Days of Broken Love” from the drawer and looked at it.

At a glance, Chen Yan let out a “Huh”.

‘Hey?

I remember that the last time it was estimated at the box office of 450-560 million, why did it turn into a box office of 490-610 million this time?
