Chapter 524 All Jokes Are Serious

2.8 billion, a terrible number.

Movies of this level are rare, very few.

Everyone was looking at Luo Mo, including Zhong Lin and the other two members of the audit department.

After Luo Mo closed his notebook, he was still thinking whether to speak "conservatively" or according to what they said, to speak out a number realistically.

Just when he was caught in a brief tangle, Fang Jie's way of speaking was not much different from when he was in "Director's Show".

"Director Luo wants to do the math, how much box office is left for you to use?" Fang Jie said with a smile, her tone teasing, as if she was joking.

Many people followed suit and smiled, right to enliven the atmosphere.

Luo Mo looked at her, and with a tone similar to hers, he also pretended to be joking: "Then why not just 2.8 billion? Haha!"

After laughing, he made a serious face.

I'm serious.jpg.

I am the only one left, and there are 2.8 billion left, so what can I do?

I can only be wronged and wronged, it's all covered.

But because this number is so outrageous, others can't take it seriously.

Even if it's nonsense, there must be a degree, a new director, who has never made a live-action movie, and yelled 2.8 billion?

Why don't you go directly to break the historical box office record of domestic films?

Therefore, everyone felt that Luo Mo was just joking along.

Hey, it's normal, who wouldn't?

Wang Rong glanced at Luo Mo, took a sip of the coffee he bought, and said, "Hey, it's time to fulfill my duties as a [producer]."

"We also talked about this issue on the way here. Regarding the new movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" that Director Luo and I collaborated on, it's just...800 million!" Wang Rong said.

Luo Mo glanced at Wang Rong.

On the way here, the two didn't talk at all.

Wang Rong kindly rescued the siege, and Luo Mo would definitely not be a monster. Seeing Zhong Lin looking at him, he nodded at her.

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "The number is quite round, it just happens to add up to 8 billion."

"That line, 8 billion, is the bottom line of this plan. I hope there will be a good result in the end, which will bring surprises to everyone." Zhong Lin decided.

Next, the meeting lasted for about ten minutes, and then it was declared over.

In fact, the figure of eight billion is also a heavy burden.

Most of the directors present are experienced people who have experienced ups and downs.

There have been glory days, and there have been lonely days.

We all know the box office of movies, you can only do your best to do your job well, and then let the market give you the final result.

These days, there are more and more large-scale productions that are losing money. The figures reported by everyone are at least guaranteed, which is actually unrealistic.

As long as someone's movie loses money, the goal of adding up to 8 billion will be even further away.

Tian Ou glanced at Luo Mo, and muttered in his heart: "Look at what you can do, if you can really make 2.8 billion by yourself, thank you very much!"

After the meeting, Zhong Lin took a deep look at Luo Mo, and took the lead to take a stand.

The eleven directors also got up one after another and went downstairs while chatting.

"Fang Jie, is your movie the first to be released among us?" Feng Ji was the first to talk about this matter.

Fang Jie nodded, and then said: "It's not just me, Director Hua's new film has just been finalized, and it's next week just like me."

Director Hua's full name is Hua Longgang, and he is from the Mediterranean, so he wears a hat all the year round.

In addition to hats, he also likes to wear sunglasses, even indoors, even at night.

Today was a meeting in the audit department, so he took off his sunglasses in the meeting room, revealing a pair of triangular eyes.

Now, just as she was about to take out her sunglasses and put them on, she heard Fang Jie mentioning herself.

Next week is also considered a holiday, but there is only one legal holiday.

The schedule is okay, but not particularly good.

The numbers he and Fang Jie reported were 600 million and 800 million.

Fang Jie is going to release a youth film. In the past few years, youth films have been quite popular in the market. Many low-budget youth films, without the help of big names, have a bunch of unknown young actors. All of them did well at the box office.

Director Fang Jie has always thought of herself as an emotionally sensitive woman, and she felt that although it was her first attempt at a youth film, the box office should not be bad.

What's more, she still spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of a well-known romance novel.

On many platforms, the male protagonist in this novel has been ranked among the top three in the [Most Favorite Romance Novels Male Lead] vote all the year round.

Therefore, although the number she said was 800 million, her own inner expectation was to exceed 1 billion.

In addition, the male protagonist of this movie is also a male artist under her banner, known as the "son" of her company, and she still wants to use this movie to make him popular.

The themes of movies like youth movies are actually similar to idol dramas.

Box office is not everyone's only pursuit.

Holding people is also very important.

Some movies, even if they are popular, are not very popular, and it is unlikely that people will fall in love with a star because of this movie. Youth films are different. The ability to attract fans of youth films is relatively strong among all kinds of films.

With more fans, there are more ways to make money.

As for Hua Longgang's movie, it is an action movie.

In the past few days, the box office of action movies has also shown a little decline.

The most important thing is that there are not many action actors, and it still takes an old group of people to carry the flag when filming.

There are only some tepid "old people" who suddenly turned around with a certain action movie, and haven't seen many new action actors who make good works.

Hua Longgang is also very ambitious for this movie, and wants to sweep away the decline of action movies.

But what the result will be depends on the release.

"Then I wish you two a good start." Li Dongliang said with a smile to Fang Jie and Hua Long.

Many people also echoed a few words, all of which were business bragging.

Luo Mo is the most isolated one in the whole small group.

He can also keenly feel that everyone has their own thoughts.

For many practical reasons, many directors have no choice but to say what they mean, they all hope that their own movies will be popular and other people's box office will flutter.

For example, this time the Audit Department recruited 5 directors from the older generation, including Luo Mo, a total of 6 directors from the new generation.

At that time, the media will still have those marketing accounts that only focus on traffic, won't they use this for comparison?

Controversy between the old and the new, favoring one and trampling on the other, are all their common routines.

That's why Luo Mo didn't think it was interesting. Sometimes such seemingly simple things as helping each other require a pattern.

As far as he is concerned, he just wants the support of the audit department and other parties, and he just wants resources.

For the rest, just do your job well.

After everyone arrived at the underground parking lot, they waved goodbye.

Luo Mo and Wang Rong came in the same car, and they have to go back to the hotel together, and tomorrow they will fly back to the studio together.

As soon as he got in the car, Wang Rong stared at Luo Mo solemnly.

"What's wrong?" Luo Mo asked, touching his thin face.

"Are you serious just now?" Wang Rong said.

"what?"

"You must have been serious just now, right!" Wang Rong said again.

He looked at Luo Mo and said, "The box office, I mean the box office of 2.8 billion."

Luo Mo looked at him, and said lightly, "Guess."

Wang Rong looked at him and said, "Do you know that on the occasion just now, even if you said a joke, if someone wants to mess with you, he will tell you what you said in front of the media .”

"Tsk tsk, human beings are really bad." Luo Mo took a sip of coffee.

Wang Rong looked at his appearance and became more serious: "This guy is serious!"

……..

……..

In the afternoon, Xu Chujing came to the hotel.

She will fly to the set with Luo Mo and Wang Rong tomorrow, which is her first visit to the set.

At the same time, I also want to see if there is any role for her to play as a cameo, which can be considered as a contribution to Luo Mo's first live-action movie.

And at night, the finale of "The Beginning" was updated on time.

In addition, since the movie of Fang Jie and Hua Longgang will be released next weekend, the efficiency of the review department and other parties is also very high, so they started to take action, and announced their participation in the [Ten Billion Box Office Project] tonight. list of directors.

(ps: The second change, ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.)
