Chapter 560 This Money Is so Good!

"Better Days" did so well at the box office on its first day, which also excited all the actors involved in the movie.

A group of people chatted for a while and then boarded the car heading to the Magic City.

Lin Li and the others decided on seven propaganda points, Su City, Jinling, Magic City, Pengcheng, Xiangzhou, Wudu, and Kyoto.

The scenes they promote in each local theater will be posted on the "Young You" Weibo and Douyin accounts. Of course, the local media they have invited will also report it more or less.

Although this kind of publicity is not too intense, it is the favorite way of publicity for fans, so Lin Li decided to conduct mobile publicity for a week.

There have been a lot more fans and comments on the official WeChat account of "Better Days" in the past two days. Many people who have watched the movie came to see the behind-the-scenes and seemed to be still immersed in the story of the movie.

Just when Lin Li and others happily arrived in the city, there was a group of people with sad faces in an office building in the center of the city.

The leader of this group of people was Guo Xiaoshan, who was originally considered by many to be the director of this summer's box-office champion movie "Extinction". He was also the one who "forced" Lin Li to make the movie and gave Lin Li the topic of school bullying.

Guo Xiaoshan never thought that Lin Lizhen would make a movie about school bullying within half a year, and it was so fierce!

At this time, Guo Xiaoshan had a dark face. In front of him and everyone present, there was a laptop computer. On the computer screen was the box office data of yesterday's movie.

"We are ranked number one, but the ticket price is a little more expensive than others. Why? Why is our box office ranked second!"

Guo Xiaoshan is not tall, but he does have the aura of a domineering president in the company. His thin face makes him look a bit mean when he gets angry, and no one under him dares to speak.

Everyone lowered their heads.

Guo Xiaoshan tapped the table with his pen and said to the second person on the left: "Manager Pan, you are the one who is in charge of Xuanfa Company. Is it because the publicity is not in place?"

The manager surnamed Pan looked embarrassed and said: "Publicity and distribution are carried out as normal... Our movie has always been very popular before it is released. Among all the movies in the summer season, it is completely unique..."

Guo Xiaoshan waved his hand impatiently and said: "What's the use of being popular? What I want is the box office!"

Manager Pan was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Our box office is also good, breaking 100 million on the first day, which is about the same as we expected..."

"What's the use? Look at our filming schedule tomorrow!"

Manager Pan was a little speechless. His boss was really difficult to serve. He clearly asked him about publicity. After he answered about publicity, he then talked about box office. When he answered about box office, he talked about film arrangement.

Manager Pan closed his mouth knowingly.

"Our movie has such a huge investment, the strongest star cast, and the most scheduled films. Why was it only second at the box office on the first day? Who can tell me why? What went wrong?"

Guo Xiaoshan's series of questions were followed by silence.

A marketing manager present said bravely: "Mr. Guo, could it be...that our ticket price is too high?"

Guo Xiaoshan said angrily: "It's only a few dollars more. Why don't you pay a few dollars to watch a movie? How poor are these people? Why don't you tell us if we invest so much in movies?"

The marketing manager lowered his head and thought to himself: "Why don't you eat minced meat?"

An administrative director surnamed Lin said: "Mr. Guo, I think there is nothing wrong with our film. Lin Li's "Young You" is so good. We don't want to be disrupted. We will implement the policy we have formulated before. The box office exceeds ten .... 1.5 billion is no problem at all!”

The director wanted to say that it would be no problem if the box office exceeded 1 billion, because for a movie with a box office of over 1 billion on the first day, it would be no problem to exceed 1 billion under normal circumstances, but it is still difficult to exceed 1.5 billion.

But the director dare not say that it is okay to break through 1 billion, because the movie "Extinction" has a huge investment, and it will only be able to recover the money if it breaks through 1 billion. Only if it breaks through 1.5 billion can it be considered profitable.

Before the release of "Extinction", Guo Xiaoshan's goal was to protect 1.5 billion and hit 2 billion.

Everyone else nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Director Lin said was reasonable.

However, their Mr. Guo didn't think so.

Guo Xiaoshan glared at Director Lin and cursed: "Who told you that I was disrupted by Lin Li's movie?!"

Everyone was frightened into silence by Guo Xiaoshan's words.

Although everyone could see that Guo Xiaoshan was resentful because the movie invested by Lin Lixiao exceeded the box office, but saying this in public would touch Guo Xiaoshan's back.

Seeing that someone was about to pull out his own tail, Guo Xiaoshan was a little embarrassed, so he cursed: "Okay, I've already been a beggar on the street for you guys, so get back here!"

Everyone picked up their laptops and left the conference room as if they had been granted amnesty.

Only Guo Xiaoshan and his male secretary were left.

The male secretary stood quietly behind Guo Xiaoshan without speaking.

Before Guo Xiaoshan said anything or gave instructions, he knew what he should do, which was to shut up.

Guo Xiaoshan stared at the computer, seeming to be making a decision.

After more than ten minutes, Guo Xiaoshan spoke: "Ask someone from the public relations department to watch the movie "Young You" and see if they can do something about it."

The male secretary understands that if certain plots or lines in the movie reflect or have incorrect values, it can be a big deal. It does not need to be serious, as long as it can affect the film schedule and reputation of "Young You".

Although it was unlikely, after all, it was submitted for review before being released, but when Guo Xiaoshan said it, he naturally obeyed.

"OK."

"Go to the public relations manager again to find dirty information about Lin Li." Guo Xiaoshan said bitterly.

In the past two days, the movies directed by him and Lin Li were released at the same time. The previous conflicts and bets between the two in "The Show" were also talked about by netizens on the Internet. Everyone was waiting for it. He was here to watch the show, but he didn't want to lose to Lin Li.

When Guo Xiaoshan and Lin Li were fighting each other in "The Show", they were betting on whether Lin Li's movie could exceed 1 billion in box office. Although "Young You" has been gaining momentum in the past two days, if something went wrong in the middle, the ending would be It’s not known yet.

And Guo Xiaoshan's own investment this time is six to seven times that of Lin Li Film. If the box office is not as good as others, he will be really shameless!

There are only so many movie screens in the country. If "Better Days" is scheduled to be released more, their schedule for "Extinction" will be reduced.

The most important thing about arranging a movie is the first few days. You must find dirty information about Lin Li and his group as soon as possible, otherwise all your movie arranging will be swallowed up by "Young You".

Only if the film schedule of "Young You" is reduced, will it be possible for his "Extinction" to increase the film schedule!

Therefore, whether it was for public or private purposes, Guo Xiaoshan had to dig up some dirt to snipe Lin Li.

The male secretary was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and said: "I checked it before during the show "The Show". Lin Li has a lot of dirty information. He beat people, was sent to a detention center, scolded the Poetry Association, and criticized the judges. Yes, but... everyone knows these things, and if you bring these things out... you won't be able to blackmail him..."

Guo Xiaoshan was very angry after hearing these contents. He knew that if one were placed on any popular star, even if it was not fatal, it would at least be regarded as a big stain and could be used as a weapon to strike hard. .

But when it came to Lin Li, he caused quite a stir by entering into trouble, quarreling with the judges, beating people, and scolding the Poetry Association. Everyone knew that no one was interested in uncovering such things.

Even these things were turned into very positive things by Lin Li. Looking at these old events, it's really impossible to blame Lin Li.

It might even be counterproductive!

"If you can't find Lin Li, ask me to find other actors, such as Chen Qingqing, Ji Yi, Ren Shixiu, etc., and ask the public relations department to find them for me! The sooner the better!"

Guo Xiaoshan's current goal is to find dirty information about Lin Li and his movie, which can also deal a fatal blow to "Young You".

And it has to be fast. The movie is only released for 30 days. If it is too late, the box office of Linli's movies has already exceeded 1 billion, and the golden period of his own movie is gone. What a waste!

"Remember, hurry!" Guo Xiaoshan reminded again.

The male secretary replied: "Okay, we will arrange it right away."

Guo Xiaoshan was quiet for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Also, don't call the director named Lin next time at the meeting. How can an administrative person join in the fun!"

"knew."

Guo Xiaoshan closed the computer and cursed: "My fucking surname is Lin!"

Male secretary: "..."

Lin Li and the others finished their promotion in Shanghai, and the next day, the box office of the summer movie was released again!

For more than 90% of movies, the first day will be their highest box office day, and everyone is prepared for a slight drop in the box office today.

However, after seeing the statistical results, everyone was dumbfounded.

The box office of the movie "You Are Young" rises instead of falling!

The box office of "Young You" on the first day was 153 million, and yesterday's box office exceeded 200 million!

205 million!

"Wow, our movie's box office went up a lot the next day!"

"The box office in a single day exceeded 200 million, awesome!"

In the first half of this year, there are already 13 movies with a box office of over 100 million in the first day, including the three summer movies, which is not unusual. However, there are only 3 movies with a box office of more than 200 million in a single day this year, two of them. , is a blockbuster released during the Spring Festival!

"Haha, the box office of several other movies was less than 100 million, but ours exceeded 200 million. What a gap!"

All the actors were very excited and proud.

Lin Li was not too surprised and said calmly: "Yesterday, we increased the film schedule by 10%. It is normal that the box office has increased instead of falling."

Wu Ruobing suddenly grabbed Lin Li's arm with both hands and said excitedly: "Lin Li, did you earn 100 million yesterday?"

After Wu Ruobing said this, everyone thought that the movie's box office on the first day had paid back, and yesterday's box office was purely earned!

The box office of 200 million is divided half and half with the theater chain, so you get 100 million!

"One hundred million yuan, if piled up, could fill my house!" Wu Ruobing said enviously.

Everyone laughed.

Lin Lidao: "It's not that much. I still have to pay taxes on the 100 million. As an investor, I share the account. If there are high taxes, I have to share it with the company..."

Jiang Da said hurriedly: "Hey, hey, the company only gets 30%, that's interesting enough."

For the movie "Better Days", Lin Li was responsible for the main actors and the filming, but making a movie is not that simple. The filming procedures behind the scenes, the coordination of the use of each venue, the group performances and other things after the movie is released. All messy things are handled by the company's team.

Although Lin Li invested money in the movie, the company still had to divide the final box office, which is similar to the company's financial investment and technology investment, but Lin Li just took the majority.

For Lin Li, signing a company was just to make things easier, so it was appropriate to share some money.

Lin Li smiled and said, "I know, I can't do without you."

Wu Ruobing patted Jiang Da and said proudly: "Hey, how about it? I've made you such a big sum in just one year. You have no chance to lose the 500 million."

Jiang Da also became proud and said, "That's because I have a good investment vision and I should make money."

"So what do you mean, the box office share that went to Director Lin Li yesterday was 50 million, right?" Chen Qingqing asked with a smile.

Lin Li was familiar with everyone and said, "It should be about the same."

Everyone looked at Lin Li in shock and envy, as if looking at a pile of money.

It only takes two months for Lin Li to shoot a movie. The rate of return is too high!

No wonder singers now want to be actors, and actors want to be directors!

The money is so easy to earn, even printing companies are so quick!

"Don't look at me like that, as if you're trying to kill me."

Lin Li felt frightened by this group of people, but he was also a little happy in his heart. In the past two months, he had earned the money he accumulated last year, and the movie was still being released. According to this trend, his movie can be divided into Got several hundred million.

This... is indeed enough to make people want to seek wealth and murder!

Fortunately, Lin Li was confident enough in his own skills, and the country also strictly controlled firearms. As long as the other party didn't try to rob him, Lin Li really didn't think that ordinary people could hurt him with knives and sticks.

Liu Chun smiled and said: "There is no need to seek wealth and death. Any girl who thinks she is attractive can win over Lin Li. By then, Lin Li will earn half of your money!"

After Liu Chun finished speaking, the girls in the car all looked at Lin Li with complicated expressions. Some were just to create some atmosphere, while others were obviously tempted.

Zhang Chaolun immediately said: "Don't think about it, Lin Li is the one you can't get!"

Lin Li couldn't get over this joke. After Zhang Chaolun finished speaking, everyone laughed.

But joking aside, everyone knows that Lin Li is not envious of making money.

They don't have the talent to write scripts, the vision to invest in movies, the talent to make movies, the courage to put all their money into making movies, and the ability to train actors.

And Lin Li has them all!

Therefore, Lin Li deserves to make this fortune!
