Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 835: It's Easy to Get
After Zhou Dongsheng shared his thoughts after watching the film, the host also said with a smile.
"Our principal Wang is also here today. I wonder if he has any different opinions on what Jay Chou said?"
As the camera turned, Principal Wang, wearing a hat, appeared in a low-key manner. Facing the camera, Principal Wang, who had come to show his support, was not restrained and took the microphone from the staff with a smile.
"I kind of regret not agreeing to Director Wu. Both are screen debuts, so why is there such a big gap..." Principal Wang joked humorously, and laughter broke out in the venue.
Everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with Wang Xuelong's previous true-to-life performance and his guest role in "Love O2O ", Zhou Dongsheng's role is undoubtedly much more outstanding.
Of course, the amount of drama, time and energy required are naturally incomparable, which is undoubtedly one of the main reasons why Principal Wang refused.
"We all know that Principal Wang is called the 'national husband' by many netizens, and Jay Chou is also a strong contender for this title. And today, our Director Wu's junior brother Eddie Peng is also here..."
"With three types of husbands competing on the same stage, there is always one you like. The audience here are so blessed!" The host was very good at handling things. He continued to create the atmosphere with a smile, and the effect was remarkable.
There is no doubt that this topic will also become a major focus of the premiere's promotion, and in such a joyful atmosphere, the premiere came to a perfect end.
So far, everything is ready except for the east wind. The result will be revealed after the movie is released after 12 o'clock tonight.
No matter how much publicity effort and effort have been made before, it ultimately depends on market feedback. As we all know, the market is Schrödinger's box. Before it is opened, no one can predict whether the cat is dead or alive.
Of course, even after the film was released, the creative team could not relax. Director Wu also arranged a crazy roadshow across the country. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the box office performance basically depends on how well this start is.
After all, there are only a few movies that can make a comeback by relying on word-of-mouth and thus reverse the decline in box office. Among the many factors that determine the final box office of a movie, uncontrollable market feedback is excluded.
As long as it is within the controllable range, we must do our best. For this reason, Director Wu naturally dare not relax at all, especially with the pressure brought by the 1.5 billion box office gamble...
Despite this, they still had to eat, so that night Zhou Dongsheng personally hosted the meal and found a nice place to invite everyone to have a simple meal.
“I wish in advance that Wolf Warrior 2 will be a great success and a big box office hit! This meal can be considered as a celebration banquet!” Since Zhou Dongsheng the host, it is natural for him to offer his sincere blessings.
To be honest, even though I know that this is the calm before the storm, and this movie will inevitably stir up a fierce storm in the public opinion field, but... what role will I play in it...
Zhou Dongsheng still felt a little expectant and nervous. After all, he had made many outstanding contributions in this storm this time. How much substantial impact would it have on the results?
The answer will be revealed once the movie is released, and until then Zhou Dongsheng can only wait and see.
After all, compared with the impact this movie has created, its box office seems somewhat insignificant, especially since Zhou Dongsheng is just one of the investors behind the movie.
As we all know, the total box office share of a movie generally requires paying 3.3% special business tax first, plus 5% special fund for the film industry, and the remaining more than 90% is the shared box office.
Even so, theaters and cinema chains still have to share nearly 60% of the box office, which includes 1-3% of the distribution agency fee of China Film, so the final share is only about 30% of the box office.
It is indeed a vivid interpretation of the line "70% belongs to others, and if you can get 30%, you have to depend on their mood." Moreover, this 30% of the box office is not monopolized by one company, but has to go through another round of segmentation.
Therefore, there is a widely known saying that "the box office must be three times the cost to be considered a break-even", which is also the benchmark used by the general public to measure whether a movie is profitable or not.
In this way, even if history repeats itself, "Wolf Warrior 2" will still be able to top the Chinese box office charts, and Zhou Dongsheng will be able to obtain investment returns from it.
Compared with the rate of return of other investment projects, it can indeed be described as "insignificant".
It’s just that movies are an art form that is popular with the public and have always been a cultural high ground that is fought over in the field of public opinion. It is precisely because of this status that they have become unique in the world of fame and fortune.
When it comes to the proportion of fame and fortune, movies clearly belong to that small group where the former outweighs the latter.
Although Zhou Dongsheng's original intention of investing in this movie was to get the top spot at the box office, he did everything he could to get a piece of the pie. If he didn't make money, he would be a bastard...
However, as time passed and wealth accumulated, Zhou Dongsheng's thoughts apparently changed quietly, and a hint of enlightenment arose in his heart.
Perhaps, the so-called chips are not limited to wealth. Wealth may more often play the role of a threshold. Only when this threshold is reached can one get the admission ticket to the table to gamble.
In the entire gaming process, the role played by wealth may be like the foundation of a pyramid. Although it is important, it is not necessarily the focus of everyone's attention at the poker table.
Although the economic base determines the superstructure, once the foundation is laid, the focus of the game will naturally shift upwards...
When Zhou Dongsheng realized this, he felt vaguely that he had grasped something, but it was not very real. He just felt that perhaps compared with the box office, the benefits that this movie could bring in other aspects...
Maybe it will be far beyond your expectations!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng's inner restlessness became more and more obvious, and he couldn't wait to see the grand spectacle of the fire.
During the dinner, everyone was having a great time, and the conversation mostly revolved around the box office outlook for the film.
For this reason, Director Wu was very conservative and said: "In fact, I don't have a clue. After all, the previous film only made 600 million yuan at the box office. Originally, I expected it to be a success if it broke 1 billion yuan..."
"But now we have Jay Chou's 1.5 billion box office bet, and he even went so far as to personally play a supporting role. In addition, he has recently invested in a series of publicity and marketing. It is obvious that he has high hopes for us. I hope we can live up to his expectations!"
"I believe in Dongsheng's vision. This guy has a very sharp eye and will never let himself suffer any loss. Even though different trades are like different mountains, I don't think this movie will make him stumble..."
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang smiled and raised his glass. After all, he had seen the movie, and the quality was definitely above the passing level. As for the content of the movie, he did not have much impression.
"But it doesn't matter even if he loses. This guy just made 600 million US dollars not long ago. The income from this investment is almost more than my entire fortune. He can afford to lose a little..."
Principal Wang said this in a teasing tone, with a hint of envy in his voice, even though he was once the son of the richest man and was already unique among the rich second generation.
But it still did not prevent him from envying Zhou Dongsheng's ability. After all, as one of the earliest investors to contact Zhou Dongsheng, he witnessed the entire process of Zhou Dongsheng's rise.
Zhou Dongsheng pointed to his head and said confidently in front of him, "This alone is worth 50 million..." This scene seems to be still vivid in his mind. At that time, Principal Wang thought that this young man was a little arrogant.
Now it seems that this statement is obviously too conservative. Even the other "50 million" Liu has become the golden pig of the live broadcast industry and his net worth has soared.
It was precisely because he witnessed the entire process that he became increasingly clear about the value of Zhou Dongsheng's self-made success, and Principal Wang was convinced.
Even the height that Zhou Dongsheng is at now is, without him realizing it, higher than himself. Perhaps only when he builds the pan-entertainment empire in his mind, will he be qualified to be compared with him.
And when Yida got into trouble, to be honest, Principal Wang felt a little excited in his heart. If he could take this opportunity to prove his ability, perhaps it would be enough to prove... that he could succeed even without Yida!
If he could give back to Yida, or even resolve Yida's crisis, it would be a typical example of a disciple surpassing his teacher, and he would completely get rid of the halo of his parents!
Of course, this idea only remained in Principal Wang's mind. No matter how ignorant he was, he knew how terrible the cash flow crisis facing Yida was. Such a huge amount of money was not something he could solve.
Even Zhou Dongsheng is just a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this, Principal Wang couldn't help but recall the earnest words his father had given him.
"Although Zhou Dongsheng is a young man born in the countryside, his vision and vision should not be underestimated. It is your opportunity to make friends with him. At the beginning, I even wanted to recruit him and train him to be your confidant..."
"But now it has been proven that my original idea was too naive. How could such a talent be willing to be inferior to others? In fact, I also benefited from your help. This time, you helped me a lot..."
"It is human nature to exchange gifts, and we cannot be impolite. Let's give him a small gift to please him..."
It has to be said that this recognition from his own father is also a major reason why Principal Wang envies Zhou Dongsheng. Even he himself has never received such a high evaluation from his own father!
For this reason, Principal Wang couldn't help but look at Zhou Dongsheng deeply and could only make a few sarcastic remarks.
Principal Wang's joke made everyone at the table look at Zhou Dongsheng. Even though they were well-informed in the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune, this was not a small amount of money for them.
Even for most superstars, the wealth they acquire in their entire lives is only about this amount .
So they couldn't help but be moved. Among them, Ni Ni, who was sitting next to Zhou Dongsheng, turned her head, put her hand on her chin, and said with sparkling eyes: "Zhou Dongsheng is so good at investment. Whether you accept the financial management project or not, I will be the first to contribute my small treasury..."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people at the table showed some excitement on their faces. In fact, the distance between investment and the entertainment industry is only a fine line.
After making their first pot of gold in the entertainment industry, many celebrities further monetize their fame through investments and stock purchases, thereby transforming themselves into capital and achieving financial freedom.
It's just that everyone has their own expertise. Without the blessing of the star halo, most stars are not necessarily better than ordinary leeks. At best, they are just thicker leeks.
For example, behind the suffocating man, there are many stars who have joined the ranks of those who suffocated for their dreams. The most typical one is probably the actress named Liu who had to make a comeback and film movies crazily in order to pay off her husband's debts.
Calculating the time, at this point in time, the suffocating man has already embarked on the road of no return: "I'm in the United States, just got off the plane, and will return to China next week"...
“I don’t have this idea at the moment. After all, I have sufficient funds on hand. If I lose anything, it will be my own money. This way I don’t have any psychological burden…” Zhou Dongsheng laughed and passed it over.
Seeing this, the others naturally agreed not to mention it. After all, this is human nature.
Anyone who can make money will do so quietly. As for those who promise to help others make money, nine out of ten are scammers.
Even if you really have that ability, you wouldn't give money to others for no reason, right?
However, there are always exceptions to everything. After all, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.
Zhou Dongsheng remained calm and said in a low voice: "I do have a customized financial management project..."
Ni Ni chuckled, her charming eyes making people feel itchy, "It can't be a big project that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, I can't afford it..."
Zhou Dongsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he reacted instantly and couldn't help but smile knowingly. It turned out that those who could survive in the world of fame and fortune were often not as simple as they seemed.
As expected, high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey. As for who is the hunter and who is the prey...
That still has to be decided by the barrel of the gun.
As everyone was chatting and laughing, the banquet to celebrate the movie premiere came to an end early.
Afterwards, the main creative team had to travel to many places for roadshows to further promote the movie.
But sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, so Principal Wang also played the role of a good host and arranged a hotel for everyone to stay in.
After all, it would be a waste if we don’t use our own Yida Hotel.
While the group was on their way to the hotel, Principal Wang took Zhou Dongsheng into a separate car.
"What? Do you have anything to say to me alone?" Zhou Dongsheng said absentmindedly.
"You are blinded by lust, right? It's easy for you to get it. Didn't I say I would give you a gift?"
Principal Wang chuckled. After all, he was also an expert in this field, and they shared the same ideals in this respect.
"Look at my memory. I would have forgotten it if you hadn't told me. Could it be another sports car or something like that?" Zhou Dongsheng slapped his head and asked excitedly.
"If it were me, I might give her a sports car, but this gift was instructed by my grandfather, who said it was to please him..."
As he spoke, Principal Wang fished out a document and handed it to Zhou Dongsheng.
Zhou Dongsheng took a closer look and was delighted. It turned out to be this thing. This was a pleasant surprise.
The title of the document clearly reads "The Wandering Earth"...
