Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 168: Powerful and overwhelming

Now the PR department has been changed to the Public Relations Department. In addition to packaging artists, it is also used to guide public opinion and scold people.

Fang Hong has frequently used this department in the past few months, so the functions of this department have naturally been improved.

Currently, this department has an annual budget of 20 million, which is only used to maintain the corporate image and the image of the artists.

Of course, this money is still earned from the artists, it cannot be all spending without earning.

Twenty million is a fixed expense. If there are other things, such as if Fang Hong wants to specifically scold people or set the pace, he can apply for additional funds and get special approval.

Promotion for films and TV shows is included in the film and TV budget, but not in the original public relations funding.

Public relations is not about directly promoting and guiding public opinion, but also about cooperating with external media and media companies.

Now the Public Relations Department is together with the Artist Management Department. Fang Hong fulfilled his promise and gave it to Huang Bing. Of course, Chen Zhixi is still in direct charge.

Now that "Fleet of Time" has been released for half a month, the subsequent box office has collapsed, mainly because the audiences found it so disgusting.

People have become numb to this kind of "pain of youth". Their youth is really not like that!
"All those fucking abortions. There's abortion in "So Young" and there's abortion in "So Young". If there's no abortion in love, it's not youth.

The original film "Those Years" shot by Yutu was so good, how did it degenerate into this state now? "

Someone shouted.

"Fortunately, Liu Tianxian did not have an abortion and maintained our best image. The principal still has a conscience."

“Please give the uterus back to women!”

"."

Be patient, there is one last fall, "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me". This way of filming is to prevent others from following suit, to film it badly so that the audience will become immune to it, and to kill this subject matter.

Fang Hong is going further and further in being an inhuman person!

There is no other way, we have to make money. Currently, the total box office of "Fleet of Time" has exceeded 3.05 million.

This is another movie with a box office of over 3 million yuan, which is not high in this era, but not low either.

This year, "Transformers 3" broke 10 billion, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" broke 6 million.

Surprisingly, Tu Piaopiao sold 1032 movie tickets, equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in sales, which is not bad and a solid step forward.

Based on the current box office level, Tu Piaopiao accounts for 3% of the distribution share, which means that Tu Piaopiao has earned about million.

This is obviously a promising idea.

Of course this is without ticket subsidies.

Fang Hong submitted a proposal to Tencent's investment strategy department, hoping that they would invest in TupiaoPiao.

"Yutu has the content, Tencent has the channels, and if we bring in those cinemas, we will be unrivaled in the field of publicity and distribution, and it's just a matter of time before we dominate the film industry." That's what he boasted.

But no one paid any attention to him, so he changed his name and sent a plan to Meituan, asking Meituan to invest some money.

The reason why they joined Meituan is that they don’t want them to incubate Meituan Films, which is the predecessor of Maoyan Entertainment, and Meituan’s group buying model will be the number one in the future.

To put it bluntly, it is for its traffic and channels.

As for investing in Meituan, Fang Hong has no interest in it at all. This thing is too detrimental to the harmony of nature. It relies on big data algorithms to exploit the labor of the lower class to make a fortune.

Although Fang Hong likes money, he doesn't like to exploit it to the extreme.

But he won’t say anything if others do that, nor will he object. He just treats it with a normal attitude and doesn’t get involved.

Now Tupiaopiao is developing step by step. The software has already developed version 2.0. Based on user feedback and college student testing, we can tell where things are not going well.

In addition, Fang Hong invested another 20 million yuan for operations and server construction, and the previous 30 million yuan was not spent.

But this money also has another mission, which is to create movie big data.

That is to organize all the data such as movie box office, movie reviews, number of viewers, number of cinemas, number of screens, total box office over the years, etc. and upload them to the data center.

In addition, all relevant information and data about directors, actors, producers, etc. are sorted out.

This collection and processing requires a lot of time. Although we don’t have the resources, we do have the time.

Anyway, just look for it slowly, look at it slowly, and analyze it slowly.

Fang Hong also rented the 15th floor as Tu Piaopiao’s office space.

Now the initial team of the animation department has been set up. The team headed by Stone Spear has 68 people and has begun producing animations.

Anyway, just copy the drawings. Of course, they are animations from Europe and the United States. Domestic animations are not profitable yet.

The animation has made a staggering amount of money from box office and peripheral products in Europe and the United States.

It is easy to find animation personnel, and the director also has European and American awareness, so he needs a variety of equipment, such as drawing boards, digital cameras, and 3D scanners, which can convert physical objects into digital models.

External hard drives, digital pens, drawing tablets, etc. all require very advanced equipment. Animation is equivalent to burning money with frames.

Making animations is much more complicated than acting in live-action movies. It requires rendering details frame by frame and building models for scanning.

It means making the physical object first and then scanning it into the computer, which is difficult anyway.

If you do it well, you can make money; if you do it poorly, you will lose several years and money. Of course, the advantage is that special effects can be improved quickly, and many of them are actually the same.

It just so happens that "The Gallows" grossed $2276 million in North America and around $2020 million in other parts of the world.

The box office has now hit bottom, which means there won’t be much box office left.

The current total box office is 4496 million US dollars, which means that Yutu can get 1124 million US dollars, equivalent to 7868 million.

Another 30 million will be spent to purchase the latest animation equipment. There are also equipment used for animation in film production and special effects, so there is no need to spend so much money at this stage, you can just share it.

In addition, the initial investment of 100 million yuan is used to produce animated films, which takes a long time. This year, Fang Hong has basically been dormant, not going out, not talking to anyone, and focusing on developing his own base.

Anyway, we just set up a framework and gave a budget, which is equivalent to planting a tree. Later we will need a lot of money to grow it.

Whether it can grow into a towering tree depends on whether the United States can provide enough blood transfusions.

"Old Yu, you have to work hard!" Fang Hong called and urged.

Yu Xian was also very depressed. He should have known not to come to the United States. It was really not relaxing.

But his brother had enough money, so it was no problem for him to support two delicate blonde girls.

On this day, Liu Tianxian asked for two days off from the crew of "The Legend of the Hongmen Feast", saying that she wanted to attend the Golden Horse Awards, and go with Fang Hong, Bao Jinjin, Wang Ran and others.

Bao Jinjin was also nominated for Best Screenplay, and the two men were her accomplices.

When Liu Tianxian arrived, she saw people coming and going in the office. She happened to see Fang Hong standing in the aisle and talking to a woman face to face.

Liu Tianxian had never seen this woman before. She was Shi Zhimao, the head of the animation department.

It seemed like they were talking about animation production, and Liu Tianxian didn't understand.

Liu Tianxian slowly approached Fang Hong from behind and stood behind him. Shi Zhimao happened to see her. Liu Tianxian raised her finger to signal her not to speak.

Shi Zhimao understood what was going on and naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business. She had been in the company for more than a month and had already heard the gossip about the boss and Liu Tianxian.

The two are in a romantic relationship, this is a rumor spread by the company!
"."

"Okay, I got it. Mr. Fang, I'll go up first." After listening to Fang Hong's instructions, Shi Zhimao said he understood and then passed by.

Fang Hong nodded, and just as he turned around he heard a roar and took two steps back.

Liu Tianxian made claws with both hands, looked fierce, narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly: "Did I scare you?"

"nerve."

Fang Hong was speechless, then walked towards his office.

Liu Tianxian was immediately unhappy and chased after him: "Who are you calling crazy?"

"You're crazy." Fang Hong said and walked into the office, trying to close the door to prevent her from coming in.

I guess I'm going to cut him when I come in.

Seeing that the door was about to close, Liu Tianxian used her body to hold it shut, leaving only a palm-sized gap for the two to communicate.

"Do you want to die?" Liu Tianxian threatened.

"If you come in, I'll be dead. If you don't come in, I'll be living well and have so much freedom." Fang Hong said.

"Hey, I gave you face, didn't I?"

Liu Tianxian pushed her body against the door with all her might, with a ferocious force that could overtake mountains and conquer the world.

Fang Hong tried hard, but was still pushed back little by little. This was because he didn't exercise regularly and sat in the office every day.

The two men wrestled against each other at the door, and the staff around them just watched them for fun and didn't take it seriously.

Instead, he hoped that Liu Tianxian could subdue the principal.

Because only Liu Tianxian can suppress the principal, the days when Liu Tianxian is around are their most relaxing days.

There is no other reason, it’s just because Fang Hong will listen to what Liu Tianxian says, but he won’t listen to what others say.

The door was pushed open little by little. Liu Tianxian was confident of victory and asked proudly, "Is that all you have?"

"I'm just giving in to you." Fang Hong was shameless.

"I beg you not to let me go. Use a little more force, let me feel your strength." Liu Tianxian laughed provocatively.

Damn, Fang Hongmeng exerted all his strength and pushed the door back little by little.

Liu Tianxian felt the pressure, but her face remained calm: "Okay, try harder, harder."

Although he said encouragement, he was actually mocking.

Fang Hong was so angry that he gasped and tried again, his face turning red.

"Yes, use force, don't stop." Liu Tianxian also pushed hard against the door to prevent him from succeeding.

If you don't look at the picture, you would think that the two people are doing that thing, and the woman is urging the man to do it harder and not to stop, because if he stops, she is looking down on you.

"Fei Fei, give me some face. So many people are watching us!" Fang Hong said in a low voice, wanting to make peace.

Liu Tianxian smiled triumphantly: "So what did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have called you crazy. It's my fault. I'm a bad mouth." Fang Hong said.

"anything else?"

"I shouldn't have locked you up outside, but since it has come to this, just give me some face and let me win, and then I'll let you in, okay!" Fang Hong negotiated.

This man is quite shameless. Liu Tianxian looked at him with a smile: "No, your attitude of admitting your mistakes is not deep enough."

"Deeply, very deeply. I reflect on myself and review myself!" Fang Hong said.

"Since you have a good attitude, I will give you this face."

After Liu Tianxian finished speaking, she threatened with a serious face: "If you don't open the door, I will kick it down."
