~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two days later, a cheer of joy suddenly sounded in the office of the President of Galaxy.
"Three hundred million?! I heard it right!"
Song Yunran raised his head, overjoyed and confirmed.
The opposite assistant Tang replied: "It is 300 million, and the ratings on several movie apps are also very high. This is still a two-day box office. When this weekend passes, maybe it will exceed 1.5 billion."
Song Yunran took a deep breath, his head dizzy by the box office report.
He doesn't remember how much box office the previous life movie got in the two days it was released, but anyway, when "Joyous occasion" was finally released, the box office had just reached 1.5 billion.
In terms of its production cost, the previous life has been called impressive.
But even Song Yunran himself did not expect that this time the opening result could be so impressive.
Thanks to me, Song Yunran thought, if it weren't for his business genius to join the game, how could "Joyous occasion" be such a huge success.
He grinned happily and asked: "You didn't watch this movie well at the beginning, do you now know what was wrong?"
"Wrong, wrong." Assistant Tang nodded hurriedly, "I still have to learn more from you in the future."
The sincere flattery made Song Yunran's heart almost float to the sky.
He went around the office triumphantly and sat down again when he was happy enough, pretending to clear his throat deeply: "Okay, you can't be too proud."
Assistant Tang suppressed a smile: "One more thing, are you interested in participating in variety show recording?"
Song Yunran: "What variety show?"
Assistant Tang gave a brief introduction of the situation, and watched Mr. Song's face turn from ecstasy to numbness, secretly crying out.
Sure enough, Song Yunran didn't even think about it, but refused directly: "Record a variety show with Qin Ke? I won't go!"
He flipped through the documents in his hand and felt that this group of people was becoming more and more lawless.
Finally, his president's career has finally improved, and he actually wanted to push him on variety shows, stating that he wanted to take advantage of his enthusiasm for the company's profit.
It's really unbelievable, and I must not let them do what they want.
Assistant Tang on the opposite side felt extremely sorry.
When Chen Jing found him, he thought it was absurd at first, but he thought it was feasible.
Anyway, Song Yunran's popularity on the Internet is very high. If he can take the opportunity of variety shows to get out of the circle again, Xiao Song will be a mobile live advertisement in the future. As long as Galaxy has any project online you can save it by yelling from Song Yunran. Large marketing expenses.
Besides, Qin Ke also participated this time.
So far, the two most popular two of Galaxy appeared at the same time, which is simply the frame of the century.
Tang Zhu ideally is going to get excited, is this a record of a variety show?
No, this is simply opening up territory for the future of Galaxy!
After pondering for a long time, Assistant Tang decided to prescribe the right medicine: "Mr. Song, don't you want to show your presidential style in a variety show? How many people will be impressed by your extraordinary demeanor, do you really want to watch it?"
Song Yunran paused at his fingertips, which was actually a heartbeat.
He slowly closed the folder, hesitating in his eyes.
Assistant Tang strikes while the iron is hot: "Moreover, the variety show is scheduled to be broadcast in the first quarter, and Xinghe will also have a show to be on at that time. It is a good opportunity for publicity."
The filming of Zhong Xiaofeng's first script "After Meeting You" has been finished and is in the process of intensive post-production.
The production cycle of online dramas is shorter than that of movies. In addition, this drama is a well-reviewed urban romance theme. If nothing else, you can meet with the audience in the first quarter of next year.
It sounds like a reasonable arrangement, but Song Yunran narrowed his eyes and asked: "You acted so positively, do you want to see me interact with Qin Ke and eat sugar?"
Assistant Tang quickly clarified: "Of course not!"
He didn't want to lose even the year-end bonus next year.
Song Yunran snorted coldly, half-believing.
Now that he has broken into the CP fan, he knows well about the halo/shipping culture. The more Assistant Tang denies, the more suspicious he feels.
Besides, Qin Ke still uses him as a dog...
Song Yunran completely forgot that he did it first, and frowned dissatisfiedly.
No, he must show his proud self-control and resist the temptation!
Song Yunran came to the conclusion: "Don't talk about it anymore, I won't go anyway."
He is now a super investor who is about to hold 1.5 billion box office.
Participate in variety shows?
This is not in line with his identity.
In the following week, the box office of "Joyous occasion" was so bad* that it not only made netizens who were optimistic about it shout happy, but also made netizens who had been ridiculed by Yin and Yang covered their faces and couldn't speak.
*Bad doesn't mean in a negative way.
In the first two days when it was first released, they also hoped that a foreign blockbuster released during the same period could dominate the box office list, but seeing more and more movie theaters acting by chance, they ranked more and better shows for "Joyous occasion" , They feel more and more that fate is joking with them.
Just such a movie with a total investment of only tens of millions, how can it beat a foreign blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions?
And what makes them even more incredible is that the praise of Qin Ke during the screening period has also been recognized by more audiences as the film's reputation has matured.
At first, everyone thought it was Galaxy's navy army who ended up, but when the relatives and friends around them began to praise, everyone couldn't help but shake their hearts and decided to go to the cinema to find out.
"Then they are really fragrant."
On the car going to the event site, Xiao Ke concluded, and asked strangely, "Why are you not excited at all? It's calm as if you've long been used to it."
Qin Ke: "..."
He was really used to it once he was born and cooked again.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Xiao Ke had to put away his cell phone angrily: "It seems that Sister Jing didn't make a mistake."
"Um?"
"She said that you are different from other artists of the same age, with little mood swings, never frightened by honor or shame, and always calm and calm."
Qin Ke chuckled softly, unable to explain the reason, and could only acquiesce in what the other party had said.
After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Mr. Song is still reluctant to participate in variety shows?"
Xiao Ke said: "Why are you still caring about this? Assistant Tang has tried to persuade him a few times, but Xiao Song has always refused to come, probably because he is not interested in recording variety shows."
Qin Ke lowered his eyelashes, and a fleeting disappointment flashed across his eyes.
-
In the past few days, Qin Ke's schedule is very full. In addition to film promotion, many brands and magazines have also taken the initiative to come to the door for cooperation.
In Chen Jing's terms, his workload has been scheduled to the end of the year thanks to the movie's east wind.
In this way, he still considered that his shoulder injury had not healed.
He hasn't been home for a few days, and he is also attending an event in a field today, so he has no time to talk to Song Yunran in person.
And the news he sent to Song Yunran, I don't know why it is always falling apart.
"Is President Xiao Song busy recently?" Qin Ke asked suddenly.
Xiao Ke choked, then said, "Is the president busy? It seems that I don't deserve to be concerned about it."
Qin Ke gave an "um", turned his head and looked out the window, and stopped talking.
Song Yunran really has something to be busy recently. Because he received an invitation to a year-end industry conference on a certain video website.
When Assistant Tang told him the good news, Song Yunran was very excited.
You know, he has been looking forward to this day from the moment he abandoned acting and went into business.
Talking and laughing at each other, winning hundreds of millions of projects every minute is the life that a CEO should live, not a variety show.
Song Yunran's determination became firmer and firmer, thinking that this was an enlightenment given to him by heaven, and hoped that he would go further and further on the right path.
Compared with his simple happiness, all the senior management of the company were even more moved.
It is the first time that Galaxy Entertainment was invited to attend an industry conference in the past six years since its establishment. Everyone felt as if a college student had finally arrived in the village, and even Song Yunran had prepared the PPT needed for his speech without even having to speak.
Song Yunran was almost off work when he received the PPT. He thought about it and said to Assistant Tang: "Send it to my mailbox. I'm going to buy investment today, and I will look at it when I get home."
Assistant Tang was taken aback, thinking that he hadn't heard of it before, and then asked, "Where are you going to invest?"
"Of course it's my parents' house."
Song Yunran explained as it should be, "I think the publicity method of "Joyous occasion" is good. I plan to follow this method for every project in the future. Isn't this a long-term cooperation? You have to sit down and talk about it."
Assistant Tang: "..."
One time is enough. According to his inference, Bai Wanning and Song Jidong shouldn't let Xiao Song get his wish every time.
But this is something that the family discussed behind closed doors. He is not easy to talk, so he can only send his blessings: "I wish you every success."
Song Yunran raised his chin confidently: "Leave it to me, it must be no problem."
However, a few hours later, a basin of cold water poured down.
After listening to her son's appeal, Bai Wanning decisively refused: "I don't agree with you."
Song Yunran was shocked: "Why?!"
He thought that the success of "Joyous occasion" was in sight, and his parents would definitely agree with him.
And didn't he say that he could use Ning Dong's resources at will?
Bai Wanning looked at each other with her husband, looked at her angry son, and pointed out helplessly: "The last time the publicity was effective was because everyone felt it was new. Every time I use the same way to publicize it, it will only become annoying over time. Besides, can you guarantee that every project in the future will be better than before?"
"..."
Song Yunran wanted to say he could, but in the end he shook his head.
There will be no generals who will always win, and he will not be able to invest in works that have appeared in previous lives forever.
So he cannot guarantee.
Bai Wanning: "Although this is a shortcut, even if you make an investment mistake, it will impair the image of the entire group. Do you think mom and dad will allow you to risk our efforts every time?"
Song Yunran, who was full of ambition to go home, was completely wilted.
He understood everything his mother said, but he didn't expect Bai Wanning to refuse so decisively.
Song Jidong couldn't bear to look at his son's wronged Baba, and stood up and said: "Your direction is okay, but you still have to change your thinking according to the specific situation. Since this is a web drama, why not focus on the Internet?"
Song Yunran explained: "The focus of the publicity must be on the Internet, don't I want to add an extra layer of insurance."
"That can't always stalk the wool at home."
Bai Wanning took the topic, "I think this is an opportunity. You can try to rely on yourself this time and see how far you can do it."
Song Yun was lost, relying only on himself?
What else can he do besides conventional propaganda methods?
I don't really want to go to a variety show.
He couldn't think of a better way for a while, and he tossed and turned in bed late at night.
The phone by the pillow rang several times, interrupting his thoughts frequently.
Song Yunran was annoyed. He picked it up and found that Cheng Jiaming had sent him a message again.
[Mr Song! I'm going live again today, are you watching? 】
Song Yunran looked at the screen and regretted not having it in the first place.
Knowing that Qin Ke is also a reborn person, he should let Qin Ke be wary of Cheng Jiaming's manipulation on WIA, instead of becoming a life mentor himself and advising Cheng Jiaming.
Now that Cheng Jiaming seems to have a nestling effect on him, he has to repeatedly invite him to watch a game live broadcast.
Song Yunran was too lazy to reply, closed the dialog box and cut it out, and his eyes swept over the message sent by Qin Ke before.
He also didn't reply to those few news, anyway, he said he wanted to participate in variety shows.
"I don't know what I'm insisting on, I can't tell you anymore."
Song Yunran murmured to himself, and at the same time a vague whisper rose in his heart.
Really, am I that important to you?
He glanced back and forth in front of the names of Cheng Jiaming and Qin Ke a few times, feeling as if he should still respond to this, otherwise he always seemed to be rude.
So Song Yunran returned to Qin Ke first: [Work is too busy, and my father has no time to play with you. 】
Then switch to Cheng Jiaming's chat window: [link to me in the live broadcast room. 】
Cheng Jiaming replied in seconds: [I'll open it right away! Really, come and see, my popularity is good now, and my level is higher than before. I can take you to fly in the future. 】
Song Yunran smiled.
He and Cheng Jiaming didn't fall in love with each other. They were really annoyed by the other party, so they planned to enter the live broadcast room to give some gifts tonight, and then leave it alone.
On the other side, Qin Ke finished today's activities and just returned to the hotel room.
He has another roadshow to participate in tomorrow, and the staff of the clothing brand who endorsed him also came to the hotel and asked him to choose the clothes to wear tomorrow.
This is a relatively tedious job.
He needs to try on a few sets, and then negotiate with the stylist and the brand to finalize the overall look.
As soon as the second set came out, he heard a staff member say: "Hey, our prince will actually go to watch Cheng Jiaming's live broadcast. It seems that he has also paid a lot of money. The screenshot was sent out."
Xiao Ke next to him answered, "Are you sure it is President Xiao Song?"
"Hey, it's exactly the same as his Weibo id." The man handed the phone over to show Xiao Ke.
Xiao Ke was about to move forward, and suddenly shivered unconsciously.
He turned his head and looked at Qin Ke, who was slowly walking towards the stylist. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was shooting "Jianghu Road" when he accidentally learned about Cheng Jiaming and Song Yunran playing games.
Qin Ke noticed his gaze and asked quietly, "What do I do?"
"No, nothing." Xiao Ke shook his head.
Qin Ke retracted his gaze, discussed a few words with the stylist, and took another suit into the room.
As soon as the door was locked, he picked up the phone in his hand, clicked on WeChat and saw the message Song Yunran had sent him half an hour ago, and then slowly raised his eyebrows.
Song Yunran didn't know that he was taken a screenshot by netizens, and was watching the live broadcast with gusto.
He didn't want to pay attention to Cheng Jiaming, but the teammates with Cheng Jiaming were very good at this time, and they were playing the heroes he likes, so he wanted to learn other people's operation techniques.
As a result, at the height of the battle, the screen suddenly jumped out of the caller interface.
"Oops!"
Song Yunran was so angry that he wanted to curse, and without taking a closer look, he urged him to start the call, "If you have something to say, I'm busy."
In the next second, Qin Ke's deep voice was mixed with the current sound of the mobile phone: "Is that right, Xiao Song always has no time to play with me, but he has time to see Cheng Jiaming?"
