NOVEL NEXT Chapter 154
As the storm of Shanhai smartphones’ grand launch gradually faded, media platforms gradually returned to normal, no longer dominated by Shanhai smartphones.
More topics were discussing Avatar.
This world’s first 3D movie directed by Cameron swept the global box office market with an invincible attitude. The originally long-term trend of”A Good Show” also encountered a collision at the end of the period and had to be withdrawn in advance.
The box office also failed to break through the 600 million box office claimed by Ning Hao.
It only barely won 460 million box office, which is not as good as Shanhai Pictures’ first”Heart Flower Road”.
But it is no problem to become the third place in the annual box office.
And it is a low-cost production.
Excluding the cost of publicity and distribution, the production cost alone is less than 30 million.
According to the current profit-sharing method, at least 150 million can be netted.
Making a movie and making a net profit of 150 million is already very impressive in this year.
And this is still the domestic box office, not counting the copyright sold overseas. Of course, it has not been sold yet, but there are already”seven, seven, five, seven, five, seven” negotiations for cooperation.
The two dramas earned 920 million yuan at the box office, making Shanhai Pictures famous in the entire Chinese-speaking circle. Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and others also became famous and became popular directors and male stars.
At this time, in the office of the Shanhai Group Building.
Su Chengyang was holding a design drawing in his hand.
The design drawing in his hand was the design drawing of the Shanhai Group headquarters.
As a headquarters building, it must be magnificent.
Therefore, according to Su Chengyang’s request, many top architectural design firms in the world came to Yanjing to inspect the site, and then collected the requirements. So, after more than 20 days, they submitted a preliminary design drawing.
Because it is one hundred acres, it is almost 11 football fields.
It is definitely not a building, but a complex of buildings.
After reading the design drawing in his hand, Su Chengyang frowned.
“Snapped~~”
He put it on the table and looked up at Liao Fanglei, who was in charge of the headquarters project. The latter was poached by a headhunting company and was a real estate executive.
Just a few days ago, Shanhai quietly established a real estate company.
However, this real estate company is not for external business, let alone real estate speculation.
It is mainly responsible for the internal business of Shanhai Group.
For example, Su Chengyang plans to build employee apartment projects in the future.
“Mr. Liao, this design is just average, with no highlights. Moreover, the iconic and grand look that I requested is not reflected. I don’t know if I didn’t explain it clearly before, or if they didn’t understand?”
“Or maybe I have too high expectations of them?”
Liao Fanglei said:”Then, should I ask them to come up with another version?”
“We need to communicate clearly, tell them the elements we want, and also communicate clearly about the budget. I hope that the next proposal I get will satisfy me.”
Su Chengyang said with a frown.
I thought these world-famous design firms would have some eye-catching proposals, but…In short, it was a big disappointment.
Liao Fanglei nodded repeatedly and wrote down everything Su Chengyang said.
He waved his hand, indicating that Liao Fanglei could leave.
Seeing this, the latter left the office.
He picked up the phone and called his assistant Sun Yixuan:”Ask Yang Tianzhen from Shanhai Film to come to my office.”
“Yes!”
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in”
“Chairman, Mr. Yang is here.
Sun Yixuan pushed the door open and said
“Ask her to come in”
“Yes!”
Outside the door
“Mr. Yang, the chairman invites you in.”
“Thanks~~”
Yang Tianzhen thanked him, took a deep breath, and then walked in.
“Chairman!”
Coming to Su Chengyang, he called out respectfully.
“coming?”
“Well, take a seat.”
Seeing Yang Tianzhen sitting down, Su Chengyang said,”I asked you to come here mainly to discuss next year’s plans and the group’s annual meeting.”
“Let’s talk about the annual meeting first. This year is a year of great development for Shanhai Group. It is of great significance. I plan to celebrate it grandly. You will be in charge of this project, and Li Zheng from Perfect Film will assist.”
“How about it, do you have the confidence to hold this annual meeting successfully?”
“this…”
“Chairman, the annual meetings of these two groups will probably have tens of thousands of people. I have no experience with such a large venue.”
Yang Tianzhen said nervously.
She took on annual meetings of dozens of people, or two or three hundred people without hesitation. To be honest, she was really a little guilty about this annual meeting of tens of thousands of people, for fear of messing it up.
“At the beginning, no one had any experience, so they had to figure it out slowly.”
Looking at the anxious Yang Tianzhen, Su Chengyang encouraged her,”Don’t worry, just do your best.”
“If it doesn’t work, you can ask for help from Perfect World, they have held large-scale annual meetings before and have experience.”
Hearing this, Yang Tianzhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded, taking on this important task.
“The second thing is about Shanhai Films’ plans for next year.”
“My idea is to increase the production capacity of TV series. We now have a major IP in literature. I think some excellent and popular works can be put on the screen.”
“For example, works such as Zhu Xian, Grave Robbers’ Chronicles, and Ghost Blows Out the Light………..”
Yang Tianzhen frowned upon hearing this and said,”Chairman, it’s OK to adapt this online novel into a movie, but it’s a bit difficult to adapt it into a TV series and broadcast it on satellite TV…………”
“Why?”
“I am guessing. I have heard of these two novels, Grave Robbers’ Chronicles and Ghost Blows Out the Light. They are quite famous, but they involve tomb robbing and the supernatural. I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the review.”
“Instead of shooting these, I think we can shoot urban dramas or historical themes, which are easier to pass the review.”
During this period, if a TV series cannot be broadcast on satellite TV, it will be a huge loss.
To put it bluntly, shooting a TV series is to sell it to TV stations to make money.
Like the later web dramas, there are not even smart TVs at this time, and the audience is pitifully small. Small costs are okay, but large productions, such as Grave Robbers’ Chronicles and Ghost Blowing Lights, require a lot of special effects production, and they will lose everything.
Su Chengyang thought about it and decided that it was not appropriate to make Ghost Blowing Lights and Grave Robbers’ Chronicles into TV series at the moment.
However, Zhu Xian should be no problem, and the theme of immortal heroes basically won’t touch mines.
“In this case, you can contact Shanhai Literature first and buy the copyrights of Zhu Xian, Ghost Blows Out the Light and Grave Robbers’ Chronicles. We can decide when to shoot after the New Year.”
“In addition, Yi Su’s”Golden Years” was also bought together.”
Su Chengyang thought for a while and said.
“Golden Years” was specially created by Su Chengyang for Liu Shishi and Ni Ni, the fairy. The play they played in their previous life made him shine.
As for”Zhu Xian”, it was created for Liu Tianxian, Yang Mi and Zhao Liyin.
Of course, this is a preliminary idea, and who will play the role will be decided at that time.
As for”Ghost Blowing Light” and”Grave Robbers’ Chronicles”, he plans to make movies first, and then make online dramas after the streaming media matures.
It won’t be too late then.
Shooting now does have a great risk of failure….
After staying in the office for a while,
Su Chengyang, who had nothing to do, planned to go to Shanhai Films to have a look.
It was also pleasing to the eyes.
The floor where Shanhai Films was located was also the most popular floor in the entire building. After all, there were many beautiful women here, and they were all stars.
Being a star was very attractive to many people, especially women.
Once they were noticed, it was not an exaggeration to say that they would soar to the sky and change their destiny.
Soon, Su Chengyang came to the sixth floor.
He saw a familiar figure.
Tan Songyun.
Petite and cute, with a baby face.
“Dong…Hello , Chairman.”
Tan Songyun stuttered.
During this time, she also figured out Su Chengyang’s identity.
