C1631 I'll Make a Huge Profit
By the end of the second day, Director Zhang and the investors had estimated the box office to be close to 400 million. Even if it wasn't 400 million, it shouldn't be much different.
However, the actual situation was that Director Zhang's movie... By the end of the second day, it was only 200 million, not even 300 million! This was far too different from what they had imagined. One should know that... In the morning, their box office had already reached 200 million. In the end, during the entire afternoon and night of the Golden Film Festival, the box office of their movie had increased... It was actually less than 100 million, and today was only the second day of their movie's premiere... Such a situation had already occurred. The situation was already very bad.
Tao Xing was just an actor. After getting paid for the movie, he only needed to make the movie. As for how much the box office of the movie was, the investors still owed money. He didn't care. It had nothing to do with him. If he hadn't made a bet with Huang Feng this time, he wouldn't have cared about the box office sales at all. At most, he would let his assistant keep an eye on it. If the box office was good... He just had to post two trends online.
Therefore, Tao Xing did not care about the investors' concern about the loss of money. Although he was also very angry that he could not beat Huang Feng's movie, however, as long as it exceeded the box office of the other seven movies in Huang Feng's company... He was very satisfied. Therefore, he wouldn't even think about the investors right now.
Tao Xing did not want to. It was impossible for the investors to not want to. Director Zhang also had to think about it. If he lost too much money, which investor would dare to make movies for him in the future?
Therefore, when he saw that his movie box office was so short of money, Director Zhang was so anxious that his nose was about to smoke.
"This idiot still has the mood to talk about the bet with that Huang Feng. Why was I blind back then? Why did I choose him to be the male lead? Indeed, it makes sense for Director Feng to give up on him. " While Director Zhang was worried about the box office, he saw Tao Xing being interviewed. He didn't even publicize his movie and only thought about the bet with Huang Feng. It would be strange if he wasn't angry when he saw Tao Xing's actions.
In Tao Xing's heart, he only cared about his own matters. He actually didn't care about the box office of the movie at all. Director Zhang already regretted finding Tao Xing to act as the male lead. In addition to the negative comments about his movie on the Internet, at least half of them were directed at Tao Xing's acting. The acting skills of the male lead were too bad. No matter how good the other supporting roles were, it didn't matter. That would also be flamed.
Director Zhang could only blame himself for being blind back then. He swore in his heart that in the future, he would definitely not find Tao Xing to act in his movies anymore. Even if it was a supporting role, he would not let Tao Xing play a minor role!
Just as Director Zhang was angry, his phone rang. He looked at the movie of the investors and frowned. Today, he had received calls from many investors. He could understand that the rate at which the box office sales increased... It would definitely not satisfy those investors. However, now that the movie had been filmed and it had been released, there was actually a limit to what he could do. He could only advertise it, but the effect was not that great. He also did not have any good ideas.
However, he still had to answer the call of the investor. After listening to the complaints of the investors, the investors came up with an idea. Director Zhang's first thought was to refuse, but then he hesitated. This time, Huang Feng and Tao Xing were not the only ones competing for the box office. There was also a competition between Director Zhang and Director Feng. Director Feng didn't want to lose. He, Director Zhang, also didn't want to lose.
Looking at the current situation, if nothing unexpected happened... He was going to lose for sure. Besides, the gap between the two of them would be huge. Both of them were directors of similar levels. If he lost too badly... How would he be able to survive in the industry in the future?
Therefore, Director Zhang hesitated on the investor's suggestion. In the end, he decided to look at the box office tomorrow before making a decision.
After hanging up the investor's call, Director Zhang's mood became even worse. He did not expect that he would also reach this step. In the past, he looked down on this kind of approach, but now he was actually considering this suggestion.
He had really fallen!
The box office results on the third day did not exceed the expectations of many people. Huang Feng's movie had once again turned upside down, and the number of films had increased. With a huge reputation, the box office of Huang Feng's movie... The box office had increased like a fountain. In one day, the box office had increased to about 300 million. It was a completely crushing position.
The movie that took second place in the box office that day was Director Zhang's movie. However, the box office of this movie did not even exceed a hundred million on that day. It was only around 90 million. At this rate, it would fall tomorrow. It was impossible to surpass Huang Feng's box office sales.
After seeing the box office of his movie, Director Zhang struggled for a while. He still called the investors and agreed to their previous suggestions. He could lose, but he could not lose too badly. If that was the case, it would be a huge blow to him.
After putting down the phone, Director Zhang sat in his seat and was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed deeply. As long as this matter started, there was no turning back. He had gone astray.
However, he had no other choice. Director Zhang believed that... Even if he did not agree, those investors would do the same. Because they had invested too much. Eight hundred million yuan in investment. Looking at the current situation, it would be very difficult to recover the cost. It was not strange at all that they would be anxious.
Therefore, Director Zhang could understand them, even though their actions were not very wise.
When Huang Feng, Li Bingyun and the others saw the box office sales on the third day, they were completely relieved. It seemed like he had won this round, and Director Feng was also very happy. In the end, he had won the battle with Director Zhang.
In the movie comments of Director Zhang, many people criticized Tao Xing's acting skills. This made Director Feng very happy. Back then, he had chased Tao Xing away. It was a very wise choice to use Huang Feng. Now, no one would say that Huang Feng did not have any acting skills. He had come in through the back door, especially when he was with Tao Xing. His acting skills completely crushed Tao Xing's.
Zheng Shuai was also very happy. Huang Feng and Li Bingyun's movie... It was the first movie of the Space-Time Entertainment. Although the investment had not exceeded a hundred million, there was also the boss, Huang Feng. If a beautiful star like Li Bingyun could not get a good start when joining, that would have a huge impact on the company.
Now, all the worries from before were gone. Currently, in the entire market, not a single movie could pose a threat to their movie. It was already certain that they would win the box office of this year's Spring Festival. It was even possible for them to break the box office record.
Filming movies was very profitable. It was much more profitable than making records for singers previously. After all, the record market was already in decline. Even though it was because of a few high-quality records in their company, there was some recovery, but overall, it was still not possible.
The singers wanted to make money now mainly by holding concerts, participating in some television programs, or performing commercial performances. Their company's singers and artistes had just become famous after all, so they did not make much money in this regard.
But now, filming movies was different, not to mention other things. Even if it was Huang Feng and Li Bingyun's movie, "Space-Time Entertainment" would make a lot of money and invest only 80 million. And based on the current situation of the box office, the final box office was going to be more than 2 billion. That was definitely not a problem. If that was the case, the money they could earn would be more than 2 billion. Or even more! Because they were an exclusive investment, as long as they gave money to the distributor and those hospitals, it would be enough.
This was a huge number. Even Zheng Shuai's family was very rich. However, when he thought of this number, he was so shocked that he could not speak. All of his family's properties added up did not have that much money!
And in the Space-Time Entertainment, he also had shares! In other words, he also had a share of this two billion! In a short period of time, he could earn more than 100 million. This was something that he had never dared to think of before. In the past two days... Every time he went home, he could feel the changes in the attitudes of his family towards him. Because everyone knew that this 2 billion was just the beginning. "This was a good start for the Space-Time Entertainment. Their future development would definitely not be bad!
So now, Zheng Shuai's family's view of him had completely changed. When they knew that Zheng Shuai was opening an Entertainment Company, they all thought that he was just playing around. This was to make it easier for him to pick up female celebrities.
But now, this idea had completely disappeared. His family also fully supported him in this line of work. This made Zheng Shuai sigh with emotion. In his heart, he was both impressed and grateful towards Huang Feng. These two days, he had been walking so much that he felt like he was floating.
However, the other seven movies that the company would invest in tomorrow... It was going to be screened one after another. Zheng Shuai did not dare to be careless. Although the first movie that the company had opened was not bad, however... If the next seven movies were to fail, it would definitely affect the company. After all, these movies were too close to being released. Therefore, Zheng Shuai did not dare to be careless.
The outside world's attention on these seven movies was also not as high as Huang Feng's previous movies. After all, the investment for these seven movies wasn't high, and... There weren't any famous actors. If it wasn't for the bet between Huang Feng and Tao Xing... I'm afraid no one will pay attention to these movies.
