Chapter 456: Don’t Implicate Your Brothers
At one o'clock in the afternoon on the 5th, representatives from several major domestic distributors gathered at Blue Whale Entertainment for a preview of "Charlotte's Troubles".
These people's opinions determine the premiere screening of this film.
Although this was Blue Whale Entertainment’s first foray into the film industry, the distributors were all very respectful and even if the CEO didn’t come in person, they sent department heads instead.
After all, Blue Whale Entertainment’s reputation is there.
"We still need to establish distribution channels as soon as possible."
Looking at Feng Datou who was dealing with several representatives of publishers, Zhou Anan, who was sitting in the corner pretending to be a passerby, said to Li Dashao who was standing next to him.
When it comes to making movies, the upstream determines the quality, while the downstream controls the quantity.
For a movie, the number of screenings in the first three days is enough to determine its future fate.
Without your own distribution channels, you will always have to depend on others for support.
Of course, Zhou Anan was just talking and couldn't do anything else.
"Well, if you want to become big, you really can't afford to be influenced by others."
Nodding, Mr. Li, an outsider, agreed with the major shareholder's point of view.
The other two young ladies were holding snacks, waiting for the movie to start nonchalantly.
An hour and a half later, the movie ended. General Manager Feng was bargaining with many distributors, while Zhou Anan accompanied the two young ladies who had laughed for most of the movie to have afternoon tea.
"It's settled. It will be released on the 15th. 18% of the screenings will be available for the first three days. The fourth day will be scheduled based on the situation."
While eating pastries, Zhou Anan received a call from Feng Jiming and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. Let the publicity department get ready."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan noticed the looks of the two young ladies and took the initiative to explain: "The movie is scheduled to be released on the 15th, with 18% of the screenings in the first three days."
This summer, Zhou Anan looked at the screening schedule set by the distributors. Except for "Transformers" which was imported from abroad and released on the 11th, there was not a single decent movie.
Unlike a few years later, there was no room for foreign blockbusters in the summer season.
Nowadays, there is no concept of summer season. Most of the big movies produced by famous domestic directors are concentrated in the Spring Festival and National Day seasons, and occasionally a few foreign blockbusters will be printed in the summer.
Of course, as a classic movie, the power of "Transformers" should not be underestimated.
Being able to get an 18-point screening under the pressure of "Transformers" is really a face-saving move from the distributors.
You should know that among the remaining 82 screenings, "Transformers" accounts for 65%, and this figure will increase as the movie sells well.
The audience group of "Charlotte's Troubles" does not overlap much with that of "Transformers", so Zhou Anan, who originally wanted to postpone the release to August, agreed to the strategy set by the company's management.
With the help of the blockbuster "Transformers", the company's first movie may be a big hit.
Anyway, now that we have the Weike website, we can promote it vigorously and it is impossible for the low-cost "Charlotte's Troubles" to lose money.
"oh."
Not understanding the situation in this circle, Wang Xiaoxiao simply nodded directly, and Yu Xianer, who had some understanding of it, didn't say much.
Without saying much to the two young ladies, Zhou Anan, who didn't know much about the entertainment industry, could only leave it to fate.
After afternoon tea, Zhou Anan drove to meet Feng Datou.
"I am so tired, you are the most comfortable landlord."
The moment he saw the major shareholder, Feng Jiming couldn't help but complain.
He, a small shareholder, works so hard, but these major shareholders just sit back and collect money.
"I'm not accompanying you to relax. I'm going to be your driver today."
With a laugh, Zhou Anan started the car and drove straight towards Yushan.
According to the routine of life, Zhou Anan needs to retort with "find another general manager", and General Manager Feng, who is enjoying it, will definitely retort.
However, considering that Lao Feng worked so hard today to make money for their shareholders, Zhou Anan decided not to blame him.
Tonight's theme is still related to the yacht club. It is said that the yacht club in Shanghai has opened a branch in Hangzhou, located in a river in Yushan.
It is called a river, but it is just a slightly wider river.
Since Hangzhou has begun to vigorously improve its environment, the water quality and scenery of Yujiang River, a tributary of Qiantang River, are quite good.
Driving on the road along the river bank, Zhou Anan discovered that there were quite a few cruise ships on the river bank where the water level was not low.
We arrived at a renovated ferry, where several small boats were parked. Among them, the largest three-story luxury yacht stood out from the crowd, attracting the attention of many tourists.
“It’s quite high-profile.”
Looking at the flashing lights on the luxury yacht and the vaguely visible slender figures, Zhou Anan sighed.
Although he is about to become a billionaire with a net worth of billions, Zhou Anan feels that his living standard is more than one level lower than that of these second-generation people who know how to have fun in the city.
Sure enough, he still needs to work hard to further his studies.
"It's quite showy, and it suits those guys' tastes very well."
After getting out of the car, Feng Jiming took out a cigar in a pretentious manner, but after looking at the major shareholder who didn't smoke next to him, he put the cigar back into the high-end gold box with some disappointment.
It’s better to wait until later when you are in a crowded place to show off. Without anyone to contrast with you, the value of these cigars that cost thousands of dollars each cannot be easily seen.
"Welcome, Mr. Feng."
Seeing Feng Jiming and the other man, a young man in a black suit who was guarding the yacht came over with a smile, and behind him stood four young men in the same black suits.
The difference is that the suit of the leading young man is shiny and obviously more expensive than those of the others, and his aura is full of arrogance.
"Well, have Brother Hu and the others arrived?"
Nodding, Feng Jiming asked.
In the past, when he came to attend a party, he had to show the invitation text message on his mobile phone, but now it is enough to just scan his face.
"The boss is here, Mr. Feng, I'll take you in."
The flashy young man in black had a smile on his face as he looked forward to the VIP guest that the boss had specifically mentioned.
"No need, we'll go there by ourselves, you go ahead and do your work."
Feng Jiming waved his hand without putting on airs and walked forward with Zhou Anan.
What is there to talk about with those second-generation guys? It's nothing more than bragging and chatting about love. It's better for you to get to know the quality of the girls on the yacht first.
As for Zhou Anan, she had no intention of making friends with the second generation. She just looked around with sharp eyes to see if there were any celebrity girls who had not yet had a hairline in their previous life.
Firstly, it is pleasing to the eye, and secondly, it contributes to the company.
Just like Zhu Yiqi, she has both good looks and acting skills, and she works very hard, but without a mentor like him, her talent is lost in the dust.
Changing the life trajectories of these girls and making their star paths more brilliant is the necessary responsibility and obligation of a reborn person.
In an instant, Zhou Anan felt that his whole mind was sublimated.
Everything is for the mission.
He really works too hard.
"Together or alone?"
Feng Jiming took a glass of red wine and a glass of juice from the tray carried by a waiter passing by. He handed the juice to Zhou Anan and asked casually.
"Let's separate."
When it comes to accomplishing the mission, Zhou Anan feels that she can do it alone.
Just like a popular short video on Tik Tok, when facing a violent storm and a siege by multiple people, you must not "involve" your brothers and bear it alone.
"Okay, I'll call you then."
Knowing the other party's personality, Feng Jiming did not say anything about introducing the other party to the second generation.
Knowing someone of Miss Yu's level, who owns an Internet company worth billions, there is really no need for her to deal with these second-generation young people.
However, as the general manager of Blue Whale Entertainment, he has many opportunities to deal with these people, and there are many benefits. After all, the filming of many crews involves many aspects.
"Brother Feng is here."
"Brother Feng."
"Hello, Brother Feng."
…
Feng Jiming walked into the luxurious lounge of the yacht. A gust of cool air hit him in the face, dispelling the heat from his body. A few young men sitting by the door saw him and quickly stood up to greet him.
Compared to Feng Datou, who many people called him before, now with the rise of Blue Whale Entertainment, no one calls him by this nickname anymore.
"Old Feng, why are you here so late? I've kept you awake for more than an hour. Here's some authentic Lafite from 1982. Try it."
As the founder of the yacht club, Hu Zhidong is naturally proud and would not call anyone "brother".
Of course, the name also changed from "Big Head" to "Lao Feng".
"I just drove here from Hangzhou after get off work."
Feng Jiming sat in the middle seat very naturally, and his movements and tone were very natural as he felt the huge changes.
"Now that you're rich, you have to get a helicopter to show your status. What license? Old Huang can help you get it."
Handing over a glass of freshly poured red wine, Hu Zhidong said with a smile.
"That's right, Lao Feng. Recently, several bosses in Hangzhou have purchased a batch of helicopters. The helicopter routes in the airspace near Hangzhou are now open to civil helicopters. As long as you buy a helicopter, I can help you get the other licenses."
The square-faced young man sitting nearby added a word.
"Forget it. I'm afraid of heights and I can't ride in a helicopter. And helicopters are too expensive. I can't afford them."
Hearing the two important figures of the yacht club complimenting him so much, Feng Jiming looked humble, but a warning bell sounded in his heart.
Everyone carries the fancy sedan, but no one knows the hidden agenda in one's heart.
It only took Feng Jiming more than a year to go from a marginal figure who only invested a few hundred thousand yuan in a yacht club project to the center of attention.
However, he only slightly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, but he knew clearly in his heart.
In this circle, heroes are judged by their success or failure.
"Brother Feng, you are too modest. Blue Whale Entertainment makes hundreds of millions from a variety show. Buying a helicopter is like a piece of cake."
A fairly handsome young man not far away immediately interrupted and his words were full of compliments, but they were also slightly sour.
When they invest in a movie project, they need everyone to raise funds and work together, and they still lose a lot of money. Compared with Blue Whale Entertainment, which made hundreds of millions of dollars with just a show called The Voice, it's simply...
"That's what I mean. Luck, luck."
Noticing the envious looks from the people around him, Feng Jiming felt a little amused.
Of course, he would not say that the variety show company did not actually make much money.
"Brother Feng, if you have any good projects, please bring the brothers along."
Someone shouted, and everyone present focused their attention on Feng Jiming.
