Chapter 26
The lights came on.
Everyone raised their hands to block the glare.
The light coming through their fingers brought them back to reality.
Minister Sun sniffed.
I really regret not watching the first ten minutes carefully.
Otherwise... ask Vice President Zhang for the film and go home to watch it again.
She stood up and was about to lift her feet when she saw the head of the human resources department sitting in the fifth row.
He leaned over and patted Vice President Zhang,"Boss Zhang, can you send me a copy of the film? I had work at the beginning and didn't have time to watch it.
" Vice President Zhang smiled and shook his head, stood up and said to everyone,"The content of the film needs to be kept confidential.
Don't tell anyone.
This is related to the interests of our company.
We are all senior executives and should know the importance.
If you want to watch it, it will be released in a while and you can contribute to the box office.
"
Minister Sun sighed lightly, feeling lost.
It's really torture to have to wait for a while before watching it again.
I like the hero and heroine so much. They are both full of vitality, sunny and strong.
Suddenly I understand that some young people hope that the hero and heroine of the TV series will fall in love in real life.
She also hopes that the hero and heroine will be together now. Hey...
Just as she was about to go out, she saw the sales director in the front row also standing up.
Director Sun suddenly remembered a pair of sparkling earrings and walked quickly towards the sales director.
"Brother Zhou, you are in charge of the sales of the same diamonds as in the movie, right? Do you remember that Ruth had a pair of yellow earrings? They were the ones she wore when she was learning to spit with Jack. Shall we make the same ones?"
That pair of earrings is really beautiful, making people feel elegant and intelligent.
The most important thing is, they are the same ones as Ruth!
Minister Zhou smiled and said,"Yes, those are earrings from the Heart of Wisdom series."
Minister Sun's eyes lit up.
Heart of Wisdom, what a good name.
She smiled and asked,"When will we go on sale? Can you get me a pair in advance?"
Minister Zhou smiled awkwardly,"I'm sorry, Minister Sun, this series does not include employees' advance purchase benefits. I'll remind you immediately when it goes on sale, okay?"
Minister Sun felt even more disappointed, and said helplessly,"Okay, thank you."
She turned around and just walked away two steps, and several female colleagues surrounded her.
"Brother Zhou, can I get a pair of the earrings that Ruth wore when she got off the car in advance?"
"Is there a similar model of Heart of the Ocean for less than 50,000?"
……
Even Sister Liu, who usually doesn't wear jewelry, came over,"Xiao Zhou, when will the purple diamond necklace that Ruth's mother wears go on sale?"
Minister Sun's mouth trembled.
No wonder there are no employee benefits.
Once employees are allowed to purchase in advance, I'm afraid everyone will have several styles, which will directly leak the makeup.
In the front row, the chairman was chatting with Vice President Zhang, and suddenly heard the voices of the star-chasing women behind him.
Aren't only senior executives allowed to come in here? How come there are outsiders?
The chairman turned his head quickly.
The scene that came into his eyes made him raise his eyebrows.
The female leaders who are usually dignified, elegant, and cold, are now surrounding the director of the sales department with glowing eyes.
Hiss - it seems that this"advertisement" is very successful.
The chairman turned around and continued to Zhang Jianhua:"Although I don't know much about the film industry, judging from everyone's reactions, we may not have enough diamonds. Prepare the materials and replenish them immediately if necessary."
"OK, don't worry"
"After the movie is broadcast, the introduction video about our diamonds should also be kept up to date."
"Well, no problem."
The chairman nodded with satisfaction,"Then again, the investment can be earned back just by the box office, right?"
"More than that."
A voice came from the front of the two.
The lady in the middle of the front row stood up and looked at the two with a smile.
Zhang Jianhua smiled and shook her hand,"Mr. Shu, you are here too."
This lady in her early fifties is a shareholder of Jiahe Diamond, Shu Ailin.
She is also the major shareholder of Yida Cinema, the largest cinema chain in the country. Her son is the president of Yida.
Today, the reason why he told Chen Xiao to wait for his news tonight was because of this Mr. Shu.
If she is willing to come forward to help Yida schedule the film, it will definitely be a great thing.
Shu Ailin smiled and said,"Mr. Zhang, this film is really well made. Has the release date been confirmed?"
"Planned to be released on November 1"
"If the crew is willing, I can let Yida schedule the film and arrange for its cinemas to show it. I can guarantee that I will give more than 20% of the screenings!"
Zhang Jianhua was secretly surprised.
20%?!
That is to say, out of 100 movies, 20 will be"Titanic".
This is normal under normal circumstances, but this is the National Day.
At a time when all flowers are in full bloom, getting 20% will surpass 80% of the films!
He heard that the screening rate of"Detective Chinatown 2" during the Chinese New Year this year was only 20%. It has a fan base brought by the explosive"Detective Chinatown 1", so it can get a 20% screening rate.
And"Titanic" has only the little black guy in addition to the content... Isn't 20% a bit exaggerated?
The chairman was also a little surprised,"Is President Shu so optimistic about this movie?"
Shu Ailin nodded,"I may very well take the top three in the National Day box office, or even the top two"
"Why isn't it number one?" Vice President Li, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.
Shu Ailin smiled and said,"The first one must be"Ex-Files 4". It has three parts and has a huge fan base. I heard that the quality is pretty good."
Zhang Jianhua nodded.
He had seen"Ex-Files 3" and the quality was okay.
This movie is very famous, and I heard that the box office of the third part reached nearly 2 billion.
The box office of the fourth part is expected to be not low.
He personally thinks that the quality of"Titanic" is higher than that of"Ex-Files 3", even much higher.
But the box office is not his personal preference, and the market needs to be considered.
Although Mr. Shu only invested in Yida, as a major shareholder, he must know more about the film industry than him. Let's listen to Mr. Shu.
Besides, second and third are pretty good! It has far exceeded expectations.
The chairman asked,"Mr. Shu, what is the estimated number of second and third place in the National Day box office?"
Shu Ailin frowned slightly, and carefully recalled the situation last year.
In fact, although she knew more about the film industry than the three leaders of Diamond Company, she was not particularly clear about the market situation.
It was just that as a major shareholder of Yida, she knew something about the situation.
After thinking for a while, she replied:"Based on the data of last year's National Day, it is estimated to be around 1 billion. I estimate that this film can squeeze into the top ten this year, and it is hoped that it will eventually reach a box office of 1.5 billion."
1.5 billion?!
The chairman was slightly stunned. He quickly calculated in his mind.
Of the 1.5 billion box office, the producer gets 35%.
According to the contract, their company has obtained advertising rights, so the share is slightly lower, and it will get 24% of the producer's income.
That is 1.5 billion * 35% * 24%
126 million?!
When he invested, he thought that the box office could only get back a fraction.
Unexpectedly, the principal doubled!
He said with some regret:"Just looking at the box office, our investment has been recovered. We invested more than 50 million, right? We can make about 70 million"
""Yeah, that's right!"
The chairman heard an excited response.
He turned his head and saw that Vice President Zhang was trying hard to hold back his laughter.
In the words of young people, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK!
Tsk tsk, Lao Zhang invested his own money, and he must have made a lot of money.
Oh... regret it.
Vice President Zhang straightened his collar, straightened his back, and tried hard to hold back his smile.
Chen Xiao is really good!
He can make 1.5 billion at the box office by shooting an advertisement.
Genius!���You have talent!
Hurry up and become a director or screenwriter! Don't be an employee anymore, it's a waste of talent.
The chairman asked,"Mr. Zhang, how much did you invest?"
Zhang Jianhua tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips and make himself sound very calm.
"Let me put it this way. If the box office really reaches 1.5 billion, then... 6 years' salary will be in hand."
Damn it!" - The vice presidents and ministers nearby sighed in their hearts at the same time.
The chairman waved his hand and joked:"Okay, okay. Don't work anymore, go home and retire!"
Vice President Li at the side instantly walked out of the sadness of the movie, clenched the tissue bag in his hand, and stared at Zhang Jianhua with squinted eyes.
6 years' salary, this old guy made 60 million by investing some money?!
Jealousy!
Jealousy!
Why doesn't he have such a talent under him?
Damn it!
