Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 267 Reputation is important! (4/4)

After the restructuring of Shanxi Coal, many coal bosses entered the market waving their money...

In fact, there are really a lot of scammers at this stage!

They are euphemistically called literary and artistic workers, but what they do is not literary at all - not only are they unwilling to give returns on investments, they also want to siphon off the principal!
People call it the entertainment circle, it is a circle, and the so-called coal bosses are just a group of outsiders, walking ATMs.

Later, the coal boss left...

In the film and television industry, there are still coal bosses who can invest tens of millions just to have an intimate meal with a female star.

There is a fierce tiger in my heart, but I still smell the roses. After the feast, I burst into tears.

Then a bunch of people shouted, "I really miss the entertainment industry during the coal boss era."

What do you miss?
Why miss?
As a con man, why don't you cheat the nouveau riche with lots of money, but instead cheat the sophisticated investors?

What? Challenging yourself, huh?

The key is that if you fail the challenge, you will be scolded...

They may even ask you to pay money first - they say all these great things, but why don’t you invest yourself?

And then he trapped himself!
Oh, there is a joke that says that when the coal bosses were in their heyday, they had a lot of money in their pockets but didn’t know where to invest. They couldn’t understand the advanced financial management, and they didn’t trust those experts who boasted about their achievements. So they went to BJ to buy houses.

Later I realized, why bother digging coal? This thing makes money faster and there are no accidents...

Of course, this is a joke...after all, BJ later implemented purchase restrictions!
However, it is still not as good as the owner of a steel plant in Hebei. The owner of a steel plant in Hebei thought the housing prices in BJ were too high, so he bought a piece of land and built a community for himself.

He has a famous saying: This business makes more money than the steel mill.

Ahem… Shen Yan went to Datong and Taiyuan for three commercial performances and met with coal bosses. They expressed their desire to enter the entertainment industry, and one of them said he was optimistic about the development of the Chinese film industry…

Brother Yan directly advised him to open a cinema!

Hearing this, Guo Fan asked him: "Why invest in a cinema?"

"Since I'm optimistic about the film industry, I'll open a cinema. Currently, box office figures are rising rapidly, but the risks of running a movie business are too high..."

“Why don’t you open a movie theater?”

“Where can I get the money to invest in a cinema?”

Yang Siwei said: "Investment in a cinema is simple and crude: one seat costs 8000 to 1 yuan. If you want to build a 1000-seat cinema now, from the rough to all the licenses and permits to open it, you will have to invest about 900 million yuan...

At this stage, the box office revenue per seat is basically 7000 per year...

That year, the total revenue was 700 million. After the cinema chain split the profits, there was 350 million left. Add 10% of the merchandise sales, 20 in advertising revenue, and various other miscellaneous income, and the gross profit was about 400 million...

Labor 60 - 3000/person/month, at least 15 people are employed...

Water and electricity costs are 30, rent is about 80, plus 10 for equipment maintenance;
In terms of expenditure, it’s about 180 million a year...

The profit that year was about 200 million...

Basically, you can get your money back in four years!"

Guo Fan shook his head: "You can't calculate it that way. I asked a lot of theaters, and they said that the output of one seat is basically 5500 per year..."

"...Next year, if we open up the quota for Hollywood imported films... theaters will definitely make money!"

"So, should we build a cinema?"

"What the hell," Shen Yan shook his head decisively: "Let's just run a film production company..."

Yang Siwei interjected, "However, many people have approached me to invest in our film!"

Guo Fan nodded: "Well, some time ago, I also met a boss who brought a whole box of cash and wanted to invest in me to make a movie..."

"You didn't agree?"

"He specified that the actress had to be his girlfriend!" Yang Siwei was stunned for a moment, then said something: "Do you know Ning Hao's new movie 'The Golden Robbery'?"

"What's wrong?"

"That movie was paid for by the coal boss... and the designated heroine!"

Shen Yan and Guo Fan said in unison: "I know!"

Everyone is still paying attention to Ning Hao's movies. The heroine Cheng Mouyuan...

It is rumored online that Cheng Mouyuan is Boss Li’s new girlfriend.

Boss Li is Che Xiao’s ex-husband…the former richest man in Shanxi!

Guo Fan continued, "Also, Lu Chuan's 'The Feast at Hongmen' used to audition for Concubine Yu... but now they've used He Moujuan... I heard the crew is running out of money, so He Moujuan brought in 20 million!"

Yang Siwei was speechless: "One hundred million and he still can't finish filming "The Feast of Hongmen"? Is Lu Chuan a waste?"

Shen Yan laughed: "Maybe he wants to follow Brother Chen Kai's example and write an epic narrative!"

"Psycho... No wonder he was fired from Starlight International!"

……

Lu Chuan was initially approached for "The Banquet at Hongmen", but he spent half a year and 600 million yuan on the early preparations, and also exhausted all the patience of the investors!

Then, he was kicked out and replaced by Li Rengang!

Then Lu Chuan explained, "I took the initiative to quit the filming. We had different ideas!"

They made a movie called "The Banquet", which was directly made into a stage-like performance, and then it suffered huge losses at the box office!
Oh, regarding the huge box office losses, Lu Chuan publicly said, "Because we were criticized by the Internet trolls!"

You thought he was joking or making excuses for his incompetence, but no, he really thought so.

As for those who gave bad reviews, they are all black fans and are slandering the opponent!

If you look at the so-called filmmakers in the industry, when they encounter bad films, they usually only complain about the strict censorship, the poor system, or the bad environment. They never think that it is because of their own low aesthetic taste or poor level...

In the face of the reputation controversy surrounding "Nothing a Hot Pot Can't Solve," Ding Sheng insisted that "the problem lies with the audience" and refused to accept criticism.

During the promotion period of the film Dream of Red Mansions: The Golden Marriage, Hu Mei also said that "the number of people who have truly read Dream of Red Mansions is rare", implying that the audience's cultural level is insufficient, which led to the failure of the film and she still blamed the audience for "not understanding art".

Even Zhang Yimou felt that "the movie industry is so down because of short video commentary!"

Then, Jiaozi's "Nezha 2" set a new box office record for Asian films.

Damn it, a crappy director will only make crappy movies. Your movies are not good, so you can't make any money.

Why so many reasons?
……

After spending a day on the set of "The Accidental Murderer," Shen Yan flew to Hangzhou to attend a concert...

In the past few days, "Love Is Not Blind" is still a big hit. As of November 33, "Love Is Not Blind" earned 11 million yuan in the second week. After 21 days of release, the cumulative box office has reached 33 million yuan!
It will definitely exceed 400 million!
On the 18th, "The Heroines of the Yang Family: Military Orders as Strong as Mountains" was released, and on the 20th, "A Chinese Odyssey 2011" was released...

Ugh, two terrible movies!
"Military Orders Are Like Mountains" is terrible. In the original time and space, the total box office was 3400 million, and the profit from the distribution was barely enough to pay Zhang Baizhi's salary!

After her divorce, Zhang Baizhi took on a lot of roles, including "Priceless Treasure" (2190 million box office), "The Heroines of the Yang Family: Military Orders Are Like Mountains" (3400 million box office), "Shadow Lover", "The Lion Roars 2", "Dangerous Liaisons"...

All huge losses!

The box office of "Speed Angels" in which I played a supporting role was only 2000 million...

Directly defined by the media: box office poison!

Then, no serious movies came to her.

Later he starred in several movies, but couldn't find a distributor in mainland China to take over!
In the entertainment industry, reputation is very important.
