Chapter 425: Record-breaking
When the first day's results came out, everyone who was paying attention to this matter or knew the significance of these results were all a little dumbfounded.
You know, the total box office of the current online movie historical box office rankings is only 38 million.
As a result, the movie "Guardian: Huangquan" reached a quarter on the first day?
Even if it's because of the support of a top actress, this is still too scary!
However, after seeing this result, people led by the Xu brothers still had some fantasies: Maybe... this is all because of the cohesion of Lu Man's fans.
Who knows, in a few days, this movie might no longer be popular.
However, "Guardian" did not give them any illusions.
After achieving a share of 8 million in box office revenue on the first day, he continued to make great strides and earned another 6.5 million in box office revenue on the second day.
It earned 14.5 million in box office in two days.
Day three , 5.5 million.
In three days, the total box office revenue exceeded 20 million.
It seems that breaking the box office record is a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, this result would be terrifying even if it were a movie released in theaters.
After all, this means that the box office has reached 60 million in three days! It is enough to prove that this movie is a small hit.
The extremely high number of followers also caused various topics about "Guardian" to begin to appear on various websites. Whether it is Weibo, Douban, or WeChat, many people are talking about this movie.
Praise the wonderful plot and the rich characters.
Among them, Lu Man, who only made a guest appearance but was one of the leading actors, of course received the most praise.
With the [Acting Talent Potion], Lu Man's acting skills exploded. Even though he didn't have many scenes, it was a highlight role. It was very impressive.
This is in stark contrast to some movies online that claim to star top actors but only have a few photos of them.
Although the other leading actors are all newcomers, they have also gained a lot of fans and praise because they fit the roles well, have good acting skills and good looks.
Therefore, "Guardian: Huangquan" single-handedly changed the "cheap" label of online movies. It used first-line actresses and excellent production to break people's inherent views on online movies in the past.
On the fourth day, "Guardian" earned 4 million yuan in box office revenue.
Day 5, 3 million.
The sixth day was the weekend, and the box office rose slightly, returning to 5 million.
Day 7, 4.2 million.
So, after a week, the total box office share of "Guardian" reached 31.2 million.
In just a week, I completed a journey that most online movies could not complete.
Moreover, the revenue from just one week was four times the production cost. Huge profit.
What is even more shocking to everyone who is paying attention to it is that while the box office is soaring , the word of mouth of "Guardian" is also very high.
In seven days, more than 20,000 people rated and discussed it on Douban, and the score soared to 8...1 at one point.
It can be said that even though the release period of "Guardian" has not yet ended, most people already have an expectation for this online movie: a masterpiece.
After all, when this movie first came out, it set a series of amazing records:
The fastest record of breaking 10 million points,
The fastest record of breaking 20/30 million box office revenue,
The number of members who watched movies in a single week was 8.7 million (the first in history),
The number of online movies rated on Douban is the highest.
Video sites with the most ratings (4.7 million+)
etc.
Therefore, this made everyone start to ponder a question: The Chaoyang Project was successful again, and Chenlu Pictures was successful again.
They are not really going to change the entire film and television industry, right?
It’s not like there weren’t companies that did this before, and they released several masterpieces in a row.
However, that was not in a short period of time. And... it was not a variety of film and television projects.
Generally speaking, those who can make movies make movies, those who can make TV series make TV series, and those who can make variety shows make variety shows.
As a result, there is now a company that is extremely outstanding whether it is movies, online movies, or variety shows.
There are even plans to make a TV series.
The output capacity of such a project is really shocking.
Therefore, for a while, the entire entertainment and film and television circles were in turmoil. Everyone was making their own choices...
…
One week after the release of "Guardian", it was the day after it earned over 30 million in box office revenue.
It's another Monday, and a new week begins.
When Chen Yan went to work, he did not go directly to the game company as he did in the past. Instead, he stopped when passing by the 17th floor and went to the film and television company first.
When I arrived at the film and television company, the entire look and feel of the company was completely different from when Chen Yan first established it.
Although compared with game companies, it is still a bit free and easy, but everyone has a confident smile on their face and walks with vigor.
When they saw Chen Yan, whether they were ordinary employees or senior executives, they all stopped and greeted Chen Yan with a heartfelt smile.
After all, it was Chen Yan's precise choices that made the company's projects successful one after another.
Compared to the beginning, when he had no prestige in the company and everyone was worried about whether he was a "layman leading the professionals" when doing something, Chen Yan's prestige in the entire company is now unique.
Of course, this is also the reason why Yang Rou specially trained him.
For many good things, Yang Rou would put all the credit on Chen Yan.
Don't take credit for yourself, and don't buy people's hearts.
It's like a calm lake, just staying there quietly.
This has to do with their positions in the company.
Of the two, Chen Yan is the big boss, so he has the red face. All the credit goes to Chen Yan.
Yang Rou, on the other hand, was a cold person and didn't like to socialize with others, so she was the good guy. When company employees did something bad, she was the one who dealt with it and blamed them.
The two of them, one in red and one in white, work in perfect harmony.
While thinking about the cooperation between himself and Yang Rou, Chen Yan came to Yang Rou's office.
There was a knock on the door.
Yang Rou's cold voice rang out from inside the door, "Please come in."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan pushed the door open and came in.
Inside the door, Yang Rou's desk was piled with documents. She was lying among the materials, holding a pen, making instructions and notes.
Seeing this, Chen Yan didn't disturb her.
After coming in, he sat on the sofa in a familiar manner, waiting patiently for Yang Rou to finish the work in her hands.
Yang Rou was very efficient in her work. In just a few minutes, she finished revising the remaining documents. Then she gathered the documents one by one and piled them on one side of the table.
After doing all this, she remembered that someone had just entered the office.
So she raised her head belatedly.
When Yang Rou found out that the person who came in just now was Chen Yan, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Mr. Chen. I didn't expect it to be you."
Chen Yan smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I saw that you were busy, so I waited for you."
After that, he asked, "Is this a new batch of [Chaoyang Project] projects?"
Yang Rou nodded tiredly and said with a smile, "Yes."
"We have had two successful starts, so more and more companies and practitioners want to cooperate with us."
"Hundreds of documents have been delivered in the past few days."
"Because there are many projects invested by directors and screenwriters that I am optimistic about this time. I am afraid that the people below may miss it."
“So, I want to come here for the first time in person.”
Hearing Yang Rou's words, Chen Yan looked at her in surprise.
I have to say, this woman really has the attitude of a workaholic.
Normally, a senior executive like her who has become the helmsman of the company would not do these trivial screening tasks.
But she follows up on the project every day, checking every detail to avoid any mistakes.
It is precisely because of her hands-on approach and attention to detail that Chenlu Pictures has been able to produce three hits in just one year since its establishment.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's eyes softened when he looked at Yang Rou.
He said, "Sister Rou, don't be too tired. You should pay more attention to rest."
Yang Rou just smiled coldly and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it over the years."
Seeing this, Chen Yan couldn't persuade him any further.
However, he was thinking about how to help the woman in front of him.
After all, apart from their own feelings, Chen Yan and Yang Rou also worked very happily together.
He didn't want Yang Rou to work so hard and finally collapse in the office from exhaustion.
However, the last time Chen Yan asked Yang Rou to rest, Yang Rou did not rest.
this time……
Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou's face again.
This woman is almost forty, but she has taken very good care of herself and looks like she is only in her early 30s.
If it weren't for the plumpness and scent of a mature woman on her body, people would believe that she was a girl of twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
However, perhaps because she was too tired from worrying about the company, her complexion looked a little pale and she had dark circles around her eyes, and it was obvious that she had not gotten enough rest.
Not enough rest… ?
As he thought about it, Chen Yan's eyes lit up.
Well, after all, rest is about resting your physical strength and energy.
If, I gave the physical strength pills and energy pills to Yang Rou.
Can she...replenish her strength and energy?
After all, Chen Yan had tried the stamina pills. Even if he had used up all his stamina, his body's stamina would be replenished quickly after taking them.
Then believe it, energy pills are similar.
If I let her eat one kind of food every day, wouldn't she not consume as much as she does now?
As soon as this idea was born, it lingered in Chen Yan's mind.
He felt that the only problem was how to reasonably explain the source of his pills. And... after all, Yang Rou, a workaholic, ate a lot.
Chen Yan believed that if he did not impose any restrictions, Yang Rou would probably keep taking the pills and work in the company 24 hours a day...
Maybe it was because Chen Yan was too absorbed in his thoughts. So he was chatting with Yang Rou, but suddenly he stopped talking and just stared at Yang Rou's face.
Yang Rou was confused at first, wondering if there was something dirty on her face. But when she saw that Chen Yan's eyes seemed to be out of focus, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth into a beautiful smile.
She didn't disturb Chen Yan, but instead supported her chin with her hand and looked at Chen Yan.
After carefully looking at Chen Yan, Yang Rou realized that this little man in front of her was really handsome and had a lot of "flavor"...
The smell of a man is different from that of a woman. It is a kind of temperament that is hard to describe.
It is usually only found in men who are well-read or hold high positions.
And now, Chen Yan already has it.
It is a temperament that makes one feel extraordinary, grand and calm at first glance.
Yang Rou's eyes couldn't help but soften.
She always had a feeling that she was playing a cultivation game: after all, she had witnessed the little man in front of her changing step by step.
From the very beginning, the young lion has grown into the true king of beasts.
It took just over a year.
Time is really amazing...
While Yang Rou was sighing, Chen Yan finally came back to his senses.
He looked at Yang Rou.
Their eyes met.
Yang Rou was stunned for a moment, and quickly restrained the tenderness in her eyes and put her hands straight.
Chen Yan coughed and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
He said, "Sister Rou, actually, I came here this time just because I wanted to talk to you about the [Chaoyang Project] project."
Hearing that they were talking about serious matters, Yang Rou also sat up straight and said, "Mr. Chen, go ahead."
Chen Yan said, "That's it."
"I think our pace is still a little slow."
"We have a total of ten projects in the first batch, and two of them have been completed now."
"Others have just started filming, and some are even waiting for preparation."
“It will take a long time to make it.”
"So, I think we should start the remaining eight projects at the same time."
"You can get the money you need directly from the company. For the remaining amount, I will inject capital again."
"Also, I see you're already looking at the second batch of projects. I think this really needs to be prepared as well."
"My goal is to spend 10 billion in five years. At this pace, it will probably take more than ten years to finish the spending."
The main reason why Chen Yan wanted to expand the [Chaoyang Plan] was because he didn't have enough money.
In order to avenge He Mengxue and gain huge profits, he needed to acquire another 2 billion shares of Toutiao Technology.
However, Chen Yan does not have so much cash now.
Of course, the only thing he could come up with was [Career Cashback].
Fortunately, with Yu Qiaoqiao's double buff, the multiplier of [Professional Cashback] increased from 2 times to 4 times.
To raise 2 billion, Chen Yan only needs to spend 500 million!
For the current scale of Chen Yan's group, it's just a drop in the bucket.
At this time, hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou was also deep in thought.
After a moment, she asked, "Is this too dangerous?"
"With so many projects being carried out at the same time, it would cost hundreds of millions just for the early stages. In the later stages, it may even cost more than 1 billion yuan to operate simultaneously."
"Once a project is delayed or requires increased investment, it can easily bring down the entire group."
"That's fine. If two or three projects fail, we'll be in even bigger trouble."
Yang Rou's considerations are very consistent with realistic logic.
After all, the most important thing for a company is not its market value or assets, but its cash.
A company with cash flow can always get through any difficulties, but once the business is too big and the cash flow is cut off, it will be troublesome.
Moreover, although the film and television industry has high returns, the risks are also high.
Therefore, many times, the money is raised from outside the industry, and then the film and television companies only contribute a part of the funds, or even no funds at all, using technology as a stake.
However, these are just [real logic]. Does Chen Yan need to follow real logic?
With [Xiao Ha's Polaroid], he can know the success or failure of each project.
With the current career cashback of up to 4 times (2x2), as long as he invests a sum of money, he can get four times the cashback of this money!
Therefore, he never has to worry about project failure or running out of cash.
So, he waved his hand proudly and said, "Don't worry. I have considered and prepared for all this."
"With your and my vision, I believe there will be no problem with the success rate of the project."
"As for money. The last thing I lack is money."
“I actually feel like the money is being spent too slowly, which gives me a sense of urgency!”
Hearing Chen Yan's nouveau riche speech, Yang Rou couldn't help but chuckle twice.
However, this is also what she likes about Chen Yan: his drive.
When you are young, you should try your luck.
Even if I fail, I won't regret it.
Well...it will definitely not fail.
Thinking of this, Yang Rou secretly decided to postpone her get off work time for another half an hour so that she could help Chen Yan keep an eye on the project more and avoid any real problems.
After instructing them on what he wanted to do, Chen Yan also prepared to leave at the right time. He reminded them, "Then Sister Rou, the rest is up to you."
"I've transferred 500 million to the company's account over the past few days. Please start all the projects."
"If there's any left, throw it into 'Wandering Planet'."
"I remember Director Xu complained to me a few days ago that they were a little short of money and didn't dare to spend freely."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou nodded first, and then added in a cold voice, "Their project is too big. They don't need to strictly control costs, otherwise they won't be able to make back their investment."
Chen Yan recalled the review of "The Wandering Planet" that he saw on [Xiao Ha's Polaroid].
That seems to be a super hit movie with a box office of billions, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but say to Yang Rou, "Sister Rou, it's okay."
“Although we are all very optimistic about this project. But I want to say that even if we were not optimistic about this project at the beginning, I would still invest in this project.”
"Because it represents an attempt at our domestic science fiction films."
"Once it succeeds, it will open a new door for domestic science fiction films!"
“So, this is the dream!”
“Dreams are priceless!”
"If he wants money, give it to him."
"No matter how much, I'll approve it!"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou was not "brainwashed". She just glanced at Chen Yan and calmly commented, "Mr. Chen. We are a commercial company."
Chen Yan blinked at her, "Really? I always thought it was a dream company."
Yang Rou was stunned when she heard Chen Yan's words.
After a moment, she smiled twice and nodded, "Okay. I'll write it down."
Seeing that Yang Rou agreed, Chen Yan finally felt relieved.
After chatting with Yang Rou for a while again, he left Yang Rou's office.
He felt that after Yang Rou spent her 500 million yuan, he could officially start his plan for Toutiao Technology.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan secretly made a note in his heart: Don't forget to test the energy pills and then replenish Yang Rou's energy.
While thinking, Chen Yan took the elevator back to the game company.
When he arrived at the president's office, before Chen Yan entered the office, he found He Mengxue waiting at the door of the office.
Seeing He Mengxue, Chen Yan smiled and raised his hand to greet her, "What a coincidence. "
He Mengxue rolled her eyes at Chen Yan in annoyance, "What kind of coincidence is that? I'm obviously here to wait for you, okay~?"
Chen Yan smiled as he opened the door and said, "Then what do you want to see me for?"
He Mengxue put her hand on Chen Yan's shoulder without leaving any trace and said, "I'm here to thank you."
Hearing He Mengxue's words, Chen Yan looked at her puzzledly, "Thank me?"
He Mengxue nodded and said happily, "Yes. Thank you for the gift you gave me yesterday."
Chen Yan opened the door and walked in with He Mengxue.
However, after entering the office, Chen Yan was still confused.
"Gift? When did I give He Mengxue a gift?"
"Have I lost my memory? Why can't I remember it?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at He Mengxue, and then he saw that He Mengxue was holding a small and exquisite jewelry box in her hand.
