Golden Age 1990

Chapter 256: Friendly price, 300 million! (4000 words)
Of course, He Qing didn't know who Bai Feng had met. She had now arrived at Hunan Station. With her status, it would be no problem to meet Ou Yangtang.

Although he is the director of the station, in fact, the current Hunan TV station is really mediocre and not a very powerful big TV station, not to mention that the director of Ouyang Yang is still the director of a new station.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and starting a business is very strenuous.

It can be said that the current new station, also called the Economic Channel, really has almost nothing.

What's interesting is that when He Qing came here, he was naturally received warmly, but he was immediately told that Director Ou Yangyang went to Taiwan for research.

This is really not good news. Is this all in vain?

Just as I was thinking about it, a female staff member appeared.

"Teacher He, it's really unlucky."

"I came too suddenly."

"I'm really sorry. Let's make another appointment. In addition, Teacher He can also talk to me. Although I haven't been in Taiwan for a short time, please believe in my sincerity."

"Sincere?"

"Yes, it's sincerity."

"Oh, you seem different from others."

"Then let me introduce myself again. My name is Long Danny. I just joined the Economic Channel not long ago. I worked at Yangcheng Channel for a while."

Not to mention, He Qing was really moved by the girl named Long in front of him.

He Qing admitted that she really didn't pay attention to this girl's name before, but the girl took the initiative to introduce her again, which in itself was very sincere.

In this era, many things and many people do things in this way. Everyone didn't know it before, but now they know it.

He Qing glanced at Miss Long, then smiled and stretched out her hand to shake it.

The smile on Long Danny's face became fuller, and she was indeed full of energy at this moment.

……

"What? Do you have something to say?"

Bai Feng naturally didn't know why he met whom. If he knew, he would probably find it funny.

However, he also had a small 'adventure' here.

Yes, it can only be said to be an 'adventure', because these two came to him through Jiang Wen for a movie, "Speak Well".

It should be said that Bai Feng really understands this movie, and even now, he can brag about it.

I know this movie better than you Jiang Wen or Zhang Guoshi!

Well, because the movie hasn't been shot yet, they plan to start filming this summer.

And this movie is really full of big names.

Well, there is also Zhang Yimou himself starring.

It was the famous scene later, where this guy used a loudspeaker to shout downstairs.

An Hong, I am sorry for you...

The heroine An Hong is the current supermodel Zhai Ying. This sister is really amazing. Even 30 years later, her style is still the same. Her pair of ridiculously long legs, body and waist, etc., even the new teenage stars cannot compare to .

But her performance in this movie was actually relatively average. Although she didn't stretch her hips, it was really not comparable to Jiang Wen and the other male lead, Mr. Li Baotian.

Of course, she can't compare to others.

Uncle Benshan, Fang Qingzhuo, Li Qi...wait, this is really an all-star lineup.

Such a movie was proposed and placed in front of Bai Feng. What did Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping mean?

"Fengzi." The true meaning of this matter has to be told by Jiang Wen, "We all know that during the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival periods, being fucked by you is booming, and all Chinese movies want to be featured in it. Two schedules, I guarantee you that the quality of our film is absolutely excellent, and the cast is absolutely luxurious, so..."

Should Jiang Wen say the next words directly?

Bai Feng laughed after hearing this. He understood very well, and he really had to give Jiang Wen face in this matter.

In addition, he has another consideration.

So, he simply said: "I understand! There is no problem with this schedule, it's just..."

Yes, but what’s behind it?

Zhang Weiping understood that he couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, "Brother, we are fellow villagers, and this movie has been finalized before. Let's see if it works. How about giving 5 points to me?"

5 points is never too little!

Moreover, this is Zhang Guoshi's movie, even if he doesn't have the reputation of a national master yet.

In particular, this does not require Bai Feng to invest.

But to be honest, this approach is actually inconsistent with some contents of the theater system reform.

Bai Feng remembered that after the reform of the theater chain system is implemented in the future, there will actually be strict regulations on the division between producers and theater chains.

That is, the theater chain must give 50% of the box office share to the producer.

Moreover, as for this tax issue, it is mainly borne by the theaters.

This is done to encourage film creation, which is to tilt film production and investment.

In fact, this policy is very good, and it has indeed played a role in encouraging film investment. A lot of hot money has poured into this industry.

Well, this tax exemption is really popular with many funds.

But, in fact, in the future reform of the theater chain system, the producers will not get 5%, because there is still a lot of money to spend.

For example, publicity and marketing expenses are the most seemingly ordinary thing among them.

Cinema poster!

Yes, our theater chain contributes 50%, but do you want posters for your movies in our theaters?

This has to be done. Without a poster, who the hell would know what the movie is about?

Moreover, this poster has something to say. Do you, the producer, want a poster the size of a picture frame?Or do you want a wall full of posters?
I’m sure the latter’s publicity effect is better!

Then you need to pay more, and this money is really not for everyone.

Carrefour has an entrance fee, right?

Can the cost of movie theater posters be lower than this?
The bigger it is, the more expensive it is!

For this alone, a lot can be deducted from the 50% share.

Posters are a kind of advertisement, and Bai Feng is of course familiar with this.

In other words, after the reform of the theater system, various regulations are very clear. You can say rigid regulations, but in actual operation, there will be many negotiable aspects.

However, even if there are many aspects that can be discussed, it is illegal to take out 5% alone!

There is nothing wrong with knowing the law and breaking the law, because it is you, Bai Feng, who is piloting the reform of the theater system, and you are the key person.

But!
The current theater chain system is still under trial, and many of the regulations are not so 'rigid'.

You can take this 5%.

However, Bai Feng also knew very well that this Wei Ping was not a simple person, referring to the situation where Zhang Guoshi was later reported.

This 5% is not that easy to get.

Ever since, Bai Feng's answer was very interesting.

"How can this be done? It's against the rules."

The subtext is: use this to test cadres!

Bai Feng's current attitude surprised Zhang Weiping.

I have indeed heard of Bai Feng and his many deeds before. After all, Bai Feng is already very famous in the boss's circle.

The king of ideas.

However, Bai Feng has a very obvious problem, that is, he is really too young.

It is true that many of today's bosses are quite young, but many are relatively old-school, and even more of them actually have certain connections.

Bai Feng's youth makes his image not very good in the eyes of old-school and well-connected bosses.

They generally feel that this young man is most likely unreliable.

Therefore, even Zhang Weiping looked down upon Bai Feng.

Based on Zhang Weiping's current status, no matter how powerful Bai Feng was in the advertising industry, there was no need for him to have too much contact with this young idea king.Let’s just talk about advertising. What does Zhang Weiping do?

Cooking airplane meals.

Does a business like this need to advertise?

Isn't that right? It's almost completely unnecessary. No matter how good-looking his advertisement is, it will not have any beneficial impact on his own industry.

Of course, it is not impossible to advertise at all. In industries like this, it is actually possible to create images.

Yes, this is an industry-specific classification in the advertising industry. 'Image' is to improve the corporate image of the advertiser's company. To put it simply, it is pretentious and makes other people think that this company is high-end.

The former Sitong company was all about building image. There was really no need to advertise their products. At that time, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to buy their products.

A 4 yuan entry system for men requires a computer, which most people really don’t need.

There are many companies similar to Sitong, such as Zhengda. This company actually focuses on image, but in fact Zhengda mainly focuses on agriculture.

Improving the image is also beneficial. Agriculture is actually a commodity, and a better image will make business easier.

As for that Jin Ke La, you see those advertisements are so vulgar, they are definitely not image advertisements, they are actually just to get close to the farmers and trick them into buying their fertilizers.

Zhang Weiping has almost no motivation to advertise. Basically, he just needs to maintain a few big clients of his, serve his connections every year, and give gifts when they should... This must be done skillfully and wisely.

Nothing else is really needed.

Therefore, the reason why I came to see Bai Feng this time was entirely because I wanted to put the "Speak Well" into a good schedule.

The purpose is of course obvious, but there are many things behind it.

In fact, Bai Feng still remembered something wrong, that is, at the moment, there is no company called New Picture.

In other words, Zhang Weiping has not really entered the film investment circle, and his main career is still in the airline food business.

However, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou have known each other for many years, and they are absolute acquaintances.

From this perspective, Zhang Weiping probably had plans for the film industry for a long time, because we only met him at a business dinner.

"Speak Well" is Zhang Weiping's first real investment in Zhang Yimou's film.

And there is a story about this.

Last year, Zhang Yimou announced his breakup with Gong Li directly after filming the movie "Shake, Shake, To Grandma Bridge".

It should be understood that this is an official announcement. It has actually been rumored that the two of them have broken up for a long time. This has been going on for several years.

But last year was the real official announcement. It was Zhang Yimou who told reporters. It seemed that he just said that because the reporters were covering movies at the time.

But once this incident came out, this was definitely a big deal in our domestic film industry.

Let’s not mention the people who eat melons. The key point is that Zhang Yimou suddenly lost his original source of funds.

To put it simply, "Shake, Shake" was screened by Shanghai Film Studio, and "Speak Well" is actually in the plan.

But as soon as Zhang Yimou made such an official announcement, Shanghai Film Studio immediately cut off its investment.

Of course, there are other factors that lead to this discontinuation of investment.

"Shake, Shake" is actually a really good film. In terms of quality, it can be ranked in the top three of Zhang Yimou's works. It really can.

The film was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Although I didn’t win the award, according to the rules in the film industry, being shortlisted is actually an honor in itself.

It’s really like that, just those film festivals and things like that.

As long as you are shortlisted for the main competition unit, you can put the words "shortlisted for the main competition unit of a certain film festival" on the movie poster or audio-visual products, and you will immediately become high-profile, and the same is true for Oscars and so on.

But even so.

This "Shake, Shake" was quite disappointing at the box office.

Overseas, it earned more than 200 million US dollars at the box office.

As for our domestic situation... this is quite complicated.

how to say?

The movie was released, but soon after it was released, it was downloaded again!
To support it is to support someone who complained that the scale of this movie is relatively large.

Therefore, the box office data that can be found is 1.

It should be said that for this movie, it must have lost a lot of money.

Although I have more than 200 million U.S. dollars in income from overseas, I don’t get much of this money.

It was originally expected to be a big hit in China, but I didn't expect it... I really didn't expect it.

Such an example is right in front of us, and Zhang Weiping certainly does not want to make the same mistake again.

The money they spend on filming belongs to the public.

My money is my own!

On the one hand, the Lunar New Year stalls and Spring Festival stalls are very prosperous now.

On the other hand, Bai Feng is currently piloting a theater system, which shows that there is someone above him!

Isn't that great?

The above are the reasons why Zhang Weiping came to find Bai Feng. It is a bit complicated, but if it were not so complicated, a big boss like him would not come to Bai Feng, a young idea king.

So, what to do about this current situation?
Bai Feng doesn't want to get 5 points.

Zhang Weiping said to be honest, he was a little angry, but in such a state now, he could only endure it.

I asked, “So what is in compliance with the regulations?”

Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou had already felt Zhang Weiping's emotional changes.

Both of them turned their attention to Bai Feng, wondering what the young idea king had to say.

In fact, everyone understands that you set the rules.

What do you mean by Bai Feng?
Bai Feng smiled, and he said directly, "Brother Zhang, why have you forgotten what I do? Of course I welcome Mr. Zhang's movie to come to our Lunar New Year or Spring Festival stalls, it's all good."

But I am originally engaged in marketing planning, so, this matter...

Brother Zhang, my bidding price is 500 million per case.

We are fellow villagers, so 300 million is fine. "

300 million!
Good guy, what a lion!
In the previous five points, if the box office exceeded 5 million, it would be 3000 million.

Double now!
Moreover, this movie may not be able to exceed 3000 million.

Although Zhang Yimou is awesome, he can't guarantee that all his movies will exceed 3000 million.

Furthermore, Zhang Yimou knew very well, how many votes had Zhang Weiping made before?
2600 million!
This money, plus 300 million in marketing expenses, will be given to Bai Feng.

Almost 3000 million.

Is this movie worth the money?
Zhang Yimou definitely feels that his movie is worth 3000 million.

But I don’t know what’s going on with Zhang Weiping?
But at this moment... Jiang Wen was watching from the side, and he never spoke.

His facial expression was suppressed, because he knew it.

Isn't this the same as before in "Farewell My Concubine"!
A million dollars in marketing fees is a publicity in itself!
But now?

This suddenly became 300 million, how many years has passed?

Moreover, Fengzi, Fengzi, are you really good at bragging? Have you really shouted a price like 500 million?
However, when Jiang Wen thought of this, he suddenly understood.

This old boy Zhang Weiping will definitely agree!
really!

But Zhang Weiping also laughed, "Okay! Brother, give me some face! 300 million is 300 million! Haha..."

This... actually happened?

That's right, Bai Feng can take on such a test.

This is a marketing fee and nothing else.

Moreover, Bai Feng's current worth, in terms of consultants, has reached 300 million per order.

This is not far from the 500 million that a top consultant would later earn per case.

　Well, please try your best to join the group, thank you very much.
