While Boss Qian was considering whether to apply oil on the soles of his feet, Owen asked again: "I heard that Boss Qian made a lot of money with the idea of ??Lanling masks. Can you tell me how you made the money? This may be related to our cooperation. Please. keep in mind".
"Cooperation?" Boss Qian looked at half of Irving's fat face in surprise. Don't you want to settle the score with me? Boss Qian is also a somewhat knowledgeable little rich man. He naturally knows that if his behavior is serious, it will violate the law.
"Of course it's cooperation, am I still asking you to settle the score?" Irving said with a smile. He seemed to have anticipated what Boss Qian was thinking.
Boss Qian sneered twice and told Owen his business details, and Owen nodded repeatedly.
"That is to say, the most profitable and best-selling products are clothing. Almost all the big cities in the north have your goods, followed by masks, other wood products and jade products, right?" Owen asked, touching his chin.
"Yes, compared with the sales of clothing, the sales of masks, woodware and jade are not worth mentioning at all. The main reason is that the sales channels are not very smooth. After all, there are not many merchants selling such products, and they are not as easy to sell as clothes. ." Boss Qian said honestly.
At this time, Irving ordered the money and the boss said, "Have you ever thought that the reason why the sales of those products are not large is because you are targeting all consumers, and most ordinary consumers are not very familiar with "Lanling Mask". ¡·This movie is about wooden and jade articles. After all, our country is too big and the population is too large, but the proportion of people who like to watch movies is really insignificant. Wooden articles and jade articles are not like clothes. They are non-practical items, unless you particularly like them. Only those who work in movies will spend money to buy these things and keep them for collection. Do you care about what I say?"
"It makes sense," Boss Qian is a smart man, and he understood after thinking about it for a while, "I wonder if Boss Ou has any clever tricks?" He knew that Owen must have a reason for saying this, and maybe he could solve the problem for himself.
"It's actually very simple," Irving said directly without beating around the bush, "just put your products in the cinema so that those who watch the movie can see the replica Lanling mask and other gadgets in the movie when they walk out of the cinema. , fans who have just been shocked and moved by the movie will definitely have a very strong purchase**. So far, the number of viewers of our movie has reached 4 million, with an average of only 100 viewers per show. Assuming that each show At the end of the day, only one person buys your product, and that's 40,000 people, so you can imagine what a profit that's going to be, and that's just our minimum assumption of a six-day run for this movie."
"That's right, that's right, how can only one person spend money to buy each show? If my product can enter the cinema, I should have made millions by now," Boss Qian lamented, "But how can the cinema Will you help us sell these things?¡±
¡°Boss Qian, this is my business card,¡± Owen handed his business card with all the titles printed on it to Boss Qian, ¡°Maybe I can help you.¡±
Boss Qian used the light of the projector to barely read the words "Legal person of Hong Kong Ou's Law Firm, President of Beijing Tianxia Media Group"
Vice Chairman, Vice President of China Cinema Association"
What Irving wants Boss Qian to see most is the "Vice President of China Cinema Association". The president of this association is Han Xiaoli, Vice President of China Film Group. Because of Tianxia Media's important position in the Chinese film industry, Irving also has a vice president. The honorary title actually doesn't care much.
"The China Cinema Association is a semi-official organization in charge of cinemas across the country. I am a vice-president in it. Moreover, we at Tianxia Media also own one of the best cinema chains in the country - Tiantian Cinemas. As long as you are willing, we can Develop a very close and seamless cooperation, and I can even push other theaters to cooperate with you.¡±
¡°Do you also sell things in the cinema?¡± Boss Qian asked doubtfully.
"Haha, I used to just sell some snacks and drinks, which was a very considerable income. Of course, if there are other things to sell, we don't mind hiring another salesperson." Owen smiled and looked at Boss Qian, "This is not a one-time deal. , our movies will also attach great importance to the development of derivatives in the future. I can make the decision on this part of the project and leave it to you. If you don¡¯t do it, then I will have to find someone else. But at that time, if our products appear in your products again As for movie elements, it¡¯s hard to say.¡±
At this time, boss Owen Qian ignored the beautiful general on the screen. They only saw each other and the twinkling sparks.
"What do you need me to do?" Boss Qian put his eyes away and asked calmly.
"What you need to do is abide by the provisions of the law and give us our share of the benefits you obtain from "Lanling Mask". After all, we own this mask."?It was completed by spending a lot of money and hiring many art masters. What you are doing now seems to infringe on our copyright. Owen said calmly.
"How much do you want?" Boss Qian almost gritted his teeth and asked this sentence. The fact that he could ask this sentence shows that he still has a clear idea. If he wants to get it, he must pay first. He may have to bleed heavily today, but if He wanted it too hard, and they might break up in one fell swoop.
"Do you have a dollar with you?" Owen asked.
Boss Qian touched his pocket, took out a crumpled one-yuan note, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Irving took a dollar from Boss Qian and said, "This dollar is considered the licensing fee. Sign a contract this afternoon. From then on, you can make your ghost face costume openly and openly under the banner of "Lanling Mask". We can also discuss it." Let¡¯s talk about how to get the spin-offs of ¡°Lan Ling Mask¡± into movie theaters as soon as possible.¡±
"Only one yuan?!" Boss Qian couldn't believe his ears.
"This is the first time we cooperate. For our future friendship, I only charge one yuan, but the next time we cooperate, it won't be so cheap. I prefer the cooperation method of sharing, because the price of authorization is difficult to determine. After all, it is not Every movie like "Lanling Mask" can make such big gains in the derivatives market. The movie box office still has both losses and profits, let alone the movie's derivatives. So using the split method, you and I have it in our hearts. Of course, in order to ensure your interests and our company¡¯s profits in the derivatives market, during the script creation stage of commercial films we will specially create some gadgets that may be popular in the market, and you can also put forward your own opinions. "
"Why did you choose to cooperate with me? With your conditions, there must be many businessmen who are stronger than me vying to cooperate with you?" Boss Qian asked puzzledly.
Owen said sternly: "Just because you discovered a way to make money that others haven't discovered, and just because you dared to bet that "Lanling Mask" would be a hit two months ago. You have both wisdom and courage. Such a partner is not good. Look for it.¡±
Boss Qian was a little embarrassed when Owen said, "Haha, I still need to improve, I still need to improve!"
Boss Qian was not as unruly and illiterate as Mai Chong imagined. The conversation between Irving and him went smoothly and pleasantly. Even when Irving took out the licensing contract, Boss Qian said he would show it to his lawyer. Irving was not angry because of this, but was even more impressed by this rich country man. Later he learned that the lawyer Boss Qian called was his daughter Qian Duoduo, who was studying law at China University of Political Science and Law and was just a freshman.
Although Boss Qian's financial strength is not strong, although Boss Qian's factory equipment is relatively backward, although Boss Qian does not have a heart that loves movies, because of the opportunity of a mask, Irving included his Passepartout Company into the increasingly complete world. It has become an extremely important link in the media chain. Boss Qian may not be able to make any big money now or even within a few years. However, as the mainland film market continues to prosper and as Tianxia Media develops better and better, With all kinds of movies emerging one after another, Boss Qian finally tasted the benefits, and eventually joined the ranks of billionaires, becoming one of those people he never dared to imagine.
Of course, this is something for later. What I want to talk about now is of course the celebration party of "Lanling Mask".
On the 27th, the seventh day after the release of "Lanling Mask", it has already reached the edge of 100 million yuan in box office. Through calculation and deduction of known data, the time to exceed 100 million yuan will be between 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock in the evening. This is the peak time for ticket sales and movie viewing.
The plan of the publicity department is to hold a celebration party tonight without waiting for tomorrow. The evening celebration party will be held at the Beijing Hotel. Most of the actors from "Lanling Mask" will be gathered together. They are all dressed up to attend, and each one will attract everyone's attention. Eyeballs, among the actors, Mai is sunny, Chen Kun is melancholy, Daniel Wu is evil and charming, and the writing is immature. Among the actresses, Fan Bingbing is charming, Chen Hao is sweet, Zhang Ziyi is not here, and Liu Yifei is not here. However, Sister Ziyi still took some time out of her busy schedule to record the video and send it back. Liu Yifei got an opportunity from Liu's mother to call Mai Chong to congratulate her. Of course, she added a lot of personal information in addition to her congratulations. What "want to" You're going to go crazy thinking about it." He could say such unpretentious words, which almost surprised Mai Chong. Fortunately, he didn't have glasses.
In addition to the members in front and behind the scenes of Lanling Stage, other artists under Tianxiang Agency also attended the reception. Xiao Dandan Yao Di and Baoqiang Zhu Yuchen both came, firstly to put on a facade for the company, and secondly to increase their exposure. , Liu Shishi didn¡¯t come, it seemed because she had classes. In addition to the handsome men and beauties in the entertainment industry, this party also had Han Xiaoli, a senior executive of China Film Group, and Zhang Pengcheng, the secretary of Vice Mayor Lai Chaoyang in charge of culture and education, who came to support the party. It was a great honor.
There was a huge electronic display screen hanging in the most conspicuous place at the reception. The words were running on it. It now showed 99996256. At the reminder of the supporter, everyone stopped talking and looked at the display screen.??
This display screen is directly connected to the backend of Zhongtiao.com, and can display box office data as quickly as possible. 99996256 is the box office data of "Lanling Mask" at the moment, just shy of 100 million.
99996286, 99996316, The numbers on the electronic screen were rising rapidly, getting infinitely close to that enviable number. Mai Chong smiled, Owen's throat trembled, and He Ping's eyes turned red and almost shed tears. He was so excited. of.
99999638, 99999666, 99999694, hey, why doesn¡¯t the screen move?
When the number reached 99999694 and was about to break 100 million, the red number suddenly stopped beating in an embarrassing manner. Wen Zhang pulled up Mai Chong's clothes and whispered: "It's not so unlucky that today's tickets are sold out, right?"
Mai Chong looked at the Omega gift from Zhang Zilin on his wrist. It was just eight o'clock in the evening, so the tickets were sold out early. "It should be that the show is sold out."
As soon as Mai Chong finished speaking, the numbers moved! 99999724, 99999754, 99999784¡
In the end, people began to whisper the last three digits of the number above, "814, 844 904,934,964,994, 024, over 100 million!"
The well-prepared staff fired the salute, and fireworks were flying all over the sky. Chief planner Yu Fang ordered the computer staff to immediately find out which theater in which city the crucial ticket worth over 100 million came from
