my crew is not human

Chapter 220 Ghost City Stop Loss
Yisheng Media Office.

Looking at the background numbers of the fast platform, Li Xianyun was completely speechless.

On the first day of Legend of Hell's launch, the box office figure was 72, which is not ideal, at least not as good as Legend of the Dragon Tomb's 350 million.

But from the second day onwards, every day has been skyrocketing against the trend.

In just one week, the box office of the hell surprise has reached 1200 million.

This number has surpassed the one-week data of Dragon Tomb Legend, and it continues to improve.

The rapid growth was also unexpected for Li Xianyun.

The production cost of this film is only 100 million!
This is going to explode?

It seems that there is a rhythm of rushing to 4000 million.

The Legend of the Dragon Tomb produced by Li Xianyun at the highest cost before was only about 3000 million for a single part, but now a surprise is about to break the record of the Dragon Tomb.

The most important thing is that this film has a very high rating, reaching 8.9 points.

This is already a very good rating.

At present, among the films produced by Li Xianyun, the most popular film is The Record of Ghosts, with a score of 8.3, followed by Hunting Against Time, with a score of 8.1, and Legend of the Dragon Tomb, with a score of 7.9.

But the box office is completely opposite. Legend of the Dragon Tomb has the best results. The total box office of the two films is nearly 6000 million, and the three films of Ghost Story are only more than 2000 million.

Until this time, both the score and the box office have achieved double harvests.

To put it bluntly, the public still likes to watch some cheerful movies.

Don't you see that there are so many awesome heroes in Marvel, but the final movie style is changed from awesome to funny.

In fact, it is better to make money if you are funny than awesome.

Of course, it is not an easy task to do a good job of being funny. Many comedies that are deliberately done often fail to achieve the desired effect.

Real comedy is often mixed in the main drama - Li Xianyun does not agree that the core of the so-called comedy is tragedy, because it is too narrow. Scratch your nest.

In his opinion, the core of comedy is to release one's own nature, find beauty in cruelty, see dreams in reality, and see possible existence in everything that does not exist.

This is his opinion.

He did the same.

The core of the plot of "Damn Surprise" is still a real drama, but the performance is subverted in various ways, and it is casual at your fingertips. Instead, it inadvertently creates a classic-it feels like it has achieved something.

In any case, it's a good thing that the explosion of surprises is a good thing, and its direct effect is that the number of players in the ancient tomb of Ozawa Mountain has increased.

The ancient tomb of Ozawa Mountain itself has three major characteristics of Buddha, organ and ghost.

Other scenic spots sell for dozens of yuan for a feature, and they sell it for fifteen. Coupled with the unanimous praise of the tourists who come out to play, the Xiaozeshan Ancient Tomb has become a must-see for every tourist who enters the ghost town.

It's a pity that this is still an increase in the unit price of customers, not an increase in the total passenger flow--A Hell Surprise can't support the passenger flow of Ghost Town, but the loss of Ghost Town has plummeted as a result.

So when Li Xianyun drew the red line of loss and shouted confidently, "We have a loss of [-] this month", there was thunderous applause in the conference room.

Even the old ghost is smiling. According to this progress, the ghost city will almost turn around next month.

After getting this news, Lanyuan Group also approached Li Xianyun again to discuss the matter of becoming a shareholder.

But Li Xianyun still said the same thing: the [-]% agreed in advance can be done at any time, and there is no rush for the rest.

The second [-]% is fixed, and the Lanyuan Group can vote at any time, but there is no rush.The key to the problem is the follow-up third [-]% follow-up investment.

Although the ghost town is close to the stop loss, the stop loss is not the pursuit.

A ghost town costing 30 billion, even if it can earn [-] million a year, the return on investment ratio is still too low.

According to normal business practices, even a 3000% return needs to reach [-] million a year in revenue, which means a monthly income of about [-] million.

From the stop loss to 3000 million, there is still a long way to go.

However, the operating cost of the film and television base is fixed. Once the loss is stopped, every additional tourist or crew can be regarded as net profit, so the growth curve is also extremely high.

Today Li Xianyun was discussing with Jiang Zheng in the office.

"The average daily number of tourists in July is 520. Dongluo Film and Television is counted in last month. This month, there are only three official production crews, and the total income of shops and other fee-based services is about 260 million." Jiang Zheng and Li Xianyun Said.

The basic expenditure of the ghost town has now increased to about 270 million.

Li Xianyun frowned and said: "There are still too few crews coming over."

The average daily number of tourists increased from 110 in March to [-] in July, and the monthly ticket revenue was about [-] million, mainly to meet the needs of merchants. Since the shops are half-price, the core of the ghost town's income is currently the film crew.

But this time the crews were all small crews, and they didn't even use much special effects, and the income from adding Huadao was only 70.

The core profit point has not improved, which is also a major factor in the failure to achieve profitability.

Jiang Zheng spread his hands: "It's not that the crew is short, but our studio and actors are still not enough to meet the needs."

After a trip to Chaoying, I have accumulated a lot of Fuhuadao, which can already solve the supply and demand problem of Fuhuadao.

But studios and group performances are still bottlenecks.

The biggest difference between the crew and the individual is: as long as you still have a bottleneck, it will restrict the willingness of the crew to come.

You must know that what many crews really need is not the scenic spot, but the studio. If I can only shoot one scene at your place, and then I have to switch scenes, it means that the cost will increase. Instead of this, it is better to find a scene elsewhere.

Therefore, a good movie theater must allow the crew to use as many scenic spots as possible, reducing the time and transportation costs caused by transitions.

This aspect has not improved, the big crew is not satisfied with the supporting facilities, and the small crew does not need special effects. After the related users run out, the income of the crew in the ghost town has not increased but decreased.

In the final analysis, Ghost Town is still a half-finished product with insufficient hardware.

Li Xianyun asked: "Estimate how long it will take for these to be fully completed?"

Jiang Zhengdao: "For the studio, we should be able to complete ten by the end of the year, and the rest will definitely have to wait for next year. The key is special appointments and group performances. Our crew is small, and too many group performances can't find work."

Things are often mutually restrictive.

If there is not enough supporting equipment, the crew is unwilling to come, and if there is not enough crew, the actors are also unwilling to come to take jobs.

Although the ghost town gave subsidies, the group heads were very dark-hearted, and they ate all the subsidies.

This is also the reason why group performances still come so rarely, and the group leaders take away all the benefits.

At this moment, Li Xianyun thought about it, and said, "What do you think of us raising a group of extras?"

"Raising group performances?" Jiang Zheng was surprised: "That's not a small cost. Once the group performances are raised, the ghost town may suffer losses again."

Li Xianyun shook his head: "Facts have proved that our current business model is effective. There is no shortage of funds for the time being. What is lacking is time. There is no rush to expand the studio, but group performances can be prioritized. In addition, after the expansion of the ghost town, it would have been necessary Adding staff..."

Jiang Zheng understood what he meant: "You mean, this wave of extras is also a staff member of the ghost town?"

"Yes, this way you won't be afraid of wasting it." Li Xianyun said.

In the first phase of the ghost town, ten scenic spots were built, and the second phase of the project is more than halfway in progress. Among them, there are already [-] scenic spots in the ghost town scenic spot, but some of them have not yet been put into use.The ancient building area and the studio area are also expanding on a large scale, and many of them have not yet been completed.

At that time, a large number of scenic spots will be put into use, and people will definitely be recruited.Of course, in the case of a sound infrastructure, there is no need to recruit so many people, mainly service personnel in scenic spots, which are not technical jobs.

Li Xianyun just thought, how about recruiting people from group performances?

Working as a group performer while working as a ghost town staff member is also a way for group performers to keep income from droughts and floods, and they don’t need to be exploited by group leaders anymore.

As for the special contract, forget it, the price is high and it is not easy to raise, it is better to draw people directly from Yi Sheng's agent - the actor of the brokerage company, the worst is also calculated according to the special contract.

Ensemble?Do group performers need an agent?The group leader is the broker!
Li Xianyun said: "We are the group leader! In the future, we will be responsible for the arrangement of the group performances of the crew. We can give them a high share ratio, and save them from being exploited by those gangsters again."

An awesome group leader, one trip to the set can make millions.

Li Xianyun gave them money, but they didn't do much in personnel affairs, so Li Xianyun simply broke his heart and smashed the group leader's job.

This Qian Laozi and the group performers are divided equally, everyone is happy.

The whole industry chain is carried out step by step. The first step is special effects, the second step is pre-set scene art, and the third step is group performances.

Jiang Zheng is still a little worried: "This is likely to lead to confusion of responsibilities, and management is prone to problems."

Li Xianyun thinks about it too.

It is also a group performance and a staff member, which can easily lead to management confusion.

After thinking for a while, Li Xianyun said: "Then become a volunteer. Group performances are their main identity. They usually participate in ghost town services as volunteers, and the settlement is based on the day. When the time is right, they will learn to set up a shop and set up a special The Actors Union will set up several branches under the ghost town, each responsible for a share."

Jiang Zheng thought about it: "Yes."
