After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 320 Movie reputation, Douban score

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Mingyang opened his notebook and video chatted with Wang Changtian.

Wang Changtian no longer drinks tea and has switched to coffee.

He looked very tired, but his eyes were bright.

Li Mingyang is busy with roadshows, while Wang Changtian is busy with social events every day.

If they really compare how tired they are, Li Mingyang feels that Wang Changtian is more tired than him.

What he has to face every day are enthusiastic and simple fans and moviegoers, while Wang Changtian has to face the capital with ulterior motives.

"I have asked someone to lock the Douban rating," said Wang Changtian.

"Don't lock it. It's hard to explain why you lock it. Only bad movies lock their ratings."

"If you don't lock it, something bad will happen. I received calls from several troll companies. Huayi wants to lower your name score to below 3 points."

"I still say the same thing, don't lock it. You have to believe that Douban can solve it itself. If Douban can't solve the problem of internet trolls brushing up scores, it will not survive," said Li Mingyang.

"I believe Douban will find a solution, but how long will it take? A week? Or a month? We can't wait."

"My suggestion is not to lock it." Li Mingyang said in a deep voice.

Wang Changtian shook his head, picked up the phone on the table and called Douban’s manager.

Wang Changtian has confidence in Douban, but not much.

But Li Mingyang is different. He has great confidence in Douban.

In the near future.

Netizens and the media discuss the quality or merits of the movie.

Douban's rating will become the most authoritative standard.

It is so authoritative that it may even affect the theater’s screening schedule!

Some people say that Douban movie ratings are quite fair and are an important reference.

Some people also say that Douban ratings do not require buying votes, and anyone can rate them, which lacks credibility.

Some people also say that Maoyan ratings and Tao Piaopiao ratings are more trustworthy because these two platforms can only rate after buying the tickets.

However, in the end, Douban is still the most authoritative rating mechanism.

Douban's model is to copy the old American film rating website imdb.

The earliest batch of movie data was also crawled from the imdb database.

IMDb means that anyone can rate any movie, and it does not review whether you have actually seen it.

However, the imdb score has always been considered one of the most important reference standards for measuring the influence of commercial films.

This is thanks to its algorithm, which analyzes and rates the behavior of different users in the background and finally gives different voting weights.

This algorithm is highly confidential, and it is constantly being improved and is constantly competing with the internet trolls.

imdb has also been "invaded" by water armies. During the period when curry movies were developing rapidly, a large number of curry fans called their friends and flocked to imdb to give their curry blockbusters full marks and write good reviews.

This resulted in Curry Movies repeatedly appearing on the imdb recommendation list.

Then imdb made an overall adjustment to the data of Curry Movies.

A special section called “Curry Movies” has been created, which is on the same level as the main category “Movies”.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Douban's core algorithm, like the imdb it learned from, has been constantly improving. It is inevitable that it will fall, but it will eventually be resolved.

There is capital behind Douban, and it is red capital and foreign capital.

The most fundamental reason why Douban cannot go public is that Douban does not belong to the capital market.

It belongs to the national cultural strategic deployment.

In the future on the cultural front, the higher-ups will directly target Douban, kick out all foreign capital, and have Mr. Li take charge of the situation.

This Mr. Li once worked in the Supreme Court as a deputy minister.

……

The next day, Li Mingyang and everyone went to the roadshow as usual.

One in the morning, two in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

By the time I finished my work, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

After returning to the hotel, everyone was no longer exhausted as before. Instead, they were full of energy because of the coming week.

Everyone can arrange their schedule freely, they can take a break or hold a single roadshow for their fans.

Hu Ge, Peter Ho, Liu Yan and Shu Chang have large fan bases and have already arranged their own roadshows.

However, the actors of Dream of Red Mansions, Qiao Shan, Wang Kai and Zhang Xiaofei have too few fans to hold a single show, so they can only take a break.

As for Li Mingyang and Jing Tian, ​​they no longer need to go on roadshows, because the six-day roadshow was attended by only their fans.

Ever since Running Man became popular all over the country, the number of fans of the two has been increasing day by day, and the most outrageous increase is for Li Mingyang.

Now, Li Mingyang has over 600 million fans, and the only person ahead of him in Weibo fans is Yao Dazui...

Jing Tian's number of fans finally exceeded one million...

She really has a cold body... Even the Running Man, which created a ratings myth, couldn't pull her away.

She doesn’t even have as many fans as Ma Dongxi, who only opened his Weibo account in October.

Ma Dongxi has over 2 million fans...

Everyone went to the large private room that had been booked long ago for dinner. After three rounds of drinks, Li Mingyang took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance from his bag.

Each red envelope is 10,000 yuan.

"This is the red envelope with your name on it for the box office exceeding 100 million. It's a little late to send it, but I don't think you guys mind. Come on, cheers." Li Mingyang raised his glass with a smile.

Others stood up and raised their glasses.

In the midst of great joy, everyone drank up the wine in their glasses.

Jing Tian finished her drink and sat down, leaning on Li Mingyang's shoulder, and whispered, "Are you ready for my sister's red envelope?"

Naturally, my sister was talking about Liu Shishi.

"When you're ready, I'll give it to you later."

"Let me help you."

"It's all right."

Li Mingyang finished speaking with a smile, but he was wondering in his heart why it felt like Jing Tian had returned to his old ways and was guarding against Liu Shishi as if she were a thief.

"Director Li, after the dinner is over, let's go sing. It's my treat." Hu Ge said with a smile.

"You haven't sung enough!"

"Hey, I only sing one or two songs each time, and then I run out of songs to sing when I'm done."

"I've had enough of singing, you guys go have fun." Li Mingyang flipped through his bag, and found two red envelopes inside. He threw them to Ye Xiangdong, asking him to take everyone to the hotel's underground first floor to sing. "Brother, why don't you go? I still want to sing with you." Juanjuan said with some regret.

Li Mingyang shook his head, "I have other things to do."

Mainly because the electricity ran out.

During the six-day road show, Li Mingyang sang when he was fully charged, and lip-synced when he was not fully charged. He also played the violin, harmonica, and piano.

After dinner, Jing Tian held Kan Qingzhi's arm with his left hand and held Juanjuan's hand with his right hand, and went to sing with Hu Ge and the others.

Li Mingyang and Wu Zhikui stayed in the private room.

Had a few cups of tea.

There was a knock on the door, and Wu Zhikui, who was standing at the door, pushed it open.

Bao Bei'er walked in stealthily.

"Director Li."

Bao Bei'er smiled naively.

"sit."

"Hey." Bao Bei'er nodded and sat down, with his legs together, his hands on his knees, and his body leaning forward, like a primary school student listening to his teacher's lecture.

Seeing Bao Bei'er looking at him like a pug.

Li Mingyang suddenly thought of the arrogant Bao Bei'er in his previous life.

This guy is the first actor signed by Guangguang. He is not good at anything. He ruined Lost in Hong Kong, only stayed in Running Man for one season, directed and starred in countless bad movies, and finally could only make online movies.

He is despicable and vulgar, a bully who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He is worse than Dapeng and has offended countless people.

To gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, one must rely on loyalty.

In the past life, Guangguang entered the film industry and spent a lot of money, but its performance has always been mediocre and it lost a lot of money. The reason was that it could not handle big investments and could not find excellent directors.

So they changed their thinking and gave actors the opportunity to become directors, and trained Xu Zheng, Deng Chao, Yan Zi, and Su Youpeng.

Thanks to the efforts of the four people, Guangxian made a lot of money in those years by making small investments and gaining big profits.

After Lost in Thailand, Guangguang entered the fast lane and had no shortage of resources. However, Guangguang’s artist management was a mess!
The eldest brother is Bao Bei'er and the eldest sister is Liu Yan.

The top female star of Guangguang has changed back and forth. Liu Yan is popular for a while and then obscure for a while. She is either surpassed by Ren Min, Zhang Ruonan or Sun Qianchao.

Guangguang's number one player, Bao Bei'er, has always been very stable. There is really no one better than him...

"Bao Bao, I heard that you are very familiar with some artists of Huayi."

"Yes, I am very familiar with Brother Chao, Li Chen, Chen Sicheng, Baoqiang, Huo Siyan, and Teacher Duan."

"Okay, I'll give you a task. Don't participate in road shows anymore. Go and build relationships with Huayi's artists. Don't be secretive. Be open and aboveboard so that everyone knows about it."

Bao Bei'er scratched his bald head, not quite understanding what Li Mingyang meant, but he didn't ask. He nodded heavily to indicate that he would complete the task.

"Go to the hotel entrance now. There is a car waiting for you. There are two photographers in the car. You two should discuss it and make sure to take clear photos of you and the Huayi artists."

"Director Li is really smart! I understand, I understand. Should we find some women or men so that we can threaten them in the future?"

"Need not."

Bao Bei'er sighed regretfully.

After Bao Bei'er left, Wu Zhikui suddenly said, "This guy is so mean..."

"This matter can't be done without being cheap."

"Only targeting Huayi? Aren't you going to do Yinghuang as well? Let the Bullets Fly feels better than If You Are the One 2."

"This is the mainland. Yinghuang doesn't dare to act recklessly, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Huayi can do anything... This year's Lunar New Year period is very complicated. It's not just the quality of the film that matters, but also the determination of the film and television companies."

Old Wu seemed to understand but not quite.

Li Mingyang shook the red wine glass in his hand, and the blood-red wine began to spin, soon forming a blood-red vortex.

Guangxian is good at using small costs to achieve high box office, and Wang Changtian is labeled by the industry as someone who is good at "making big profits with small investments."

In comparison, Wang Dajun makes more use of leverage to “gain big returns with small investments” in capital operations!
Financing is carried out through the rolling operation of "private placement-repurchase-re-private placement-repurchase".

Refinancing and M&A, M&A financing, the cycle repeats...

Huayi relied on this operation to snowball its success.

Since Guangxian went public, Huayi's stock price has skyrocketed, hitting the daily limit for three consecutive days.

The market value has now exceeded 20 billion.

If the big and small Wangs pledge their equity, the cash flow will be quite terrifying.

……

The box office figures for December 12 were released, with The Orphan of Zhao topping the daily charts with 15 million.
Your Name ranked second with 2020 million.

This is also the first time that Your Name has lost the Japanese crown since its release.

However, thanks to two consecutive days of ghost screenings, the box office of Your Name has reached 1.95 million.

With a 5.9 yuan ticket subsidy + ghost theaters + fan bookings + large-scale screenings in the north + the Running Man phenomenon-level publicity.

Your Name took in 45 million yuan at the box office with an average of 1.3% of the screenings in its first weekend.

It earned 13 million at the box office in the three days of 14th, 15th and 6500th.

It took in 6 million in 1.95 days, surpassing Zhang Yimou's Under the Hawthorn Tree and entering the top ten domestic films of the year.

As long as we make a little effort in the medium term, we can get 3 million and achieve the original goal.

"The Laughing Man" grossed 490 million yuan. Although it ranked third on the day, it was already showing signs of decline. The ticket subsidies had been used up, and it had already withdrawn from the box office battle.

Very sensible.

The Orphan of Zhao has a good reputation. Its box office has exceeded 3 million in 4 days since its release and is heading for million. Orphan of Zhao has not yet withdrawn from this box office war. Not only does he continue to sell tickets to make up for the losses, he has also started to show ghost shows.

Shanghai Film Group, which was overwhelmed by China Film Group, did not give up, and neither did Chen Kaizi, one of the top three domestic directors.

Both sides have reasons to continue fighting.

But Shanghai Film Studio and Chen Kaizi didn’t know…

This Japanese crown was given to me by Li Mingyang.

The good reputation of Orphan of Zhao was created by Li Mingyang.

No matter how terrible the movies Chen Kaizi made were, or how much he lost.

After all, he holds the only Palme d'Or in China and is one of the top three directors in China, along with Zhang Yimou and Feng Kuzi.

Even though Li Mingyang is a talented director, there is an insurmountable gap between him and him.

Whether it is the audience, theaters, or mainstream media, they all recognize Chen Kaizi more.
