I'm a frontline criminal investigator. Feel free to ask me any questions!
Seeing the netizens interacting, Han Ziming's confidence soared. Maybe he really could break 30 billion views.
At this moment, Zhang Ruonan patted Han Ziming and said:
"Xiao Mo, now that I have so many fans, can I make a lot of money?"
"What's wrong? Do you need the money urgently?"
"No, my mom called me a few days ago asking for money, and we just happened to talk about it," Zhang Ruonan explained, waving her hand.
Han Ziming quickly pressed for more information.
"You transferred all the money to her?"
"Yes, now the company takes care of my food, drink and sleep. The 30 yuan signing fee plus the 30 yuan film salary were all sent to my mother."
Han Ziming was speechless.
"Are you stupid! You should keep some for yourself!"
Zhang Ruonan explained, looking aggrieved.
"This is the first time my family has praised me like this; I feel it was all worth it!"
"Fine, just don't transfer everything over there again!"
Han Ziming gave his instructions.
Why?
Zhang Ruonan looked puzzled.
Han Ziming analyzed it in a very serious manner.
Don't you understand your parents?
"How much do they earn in a year? If you keep making millions, won't you spoil their appetites?"
If you go out and brag about it, who knows what kind of trouble you'll get into. Just give me enough for living expenses.
Zhang Ruonan thought about it and agreed, since there are indeed quite a few celebrities in the industry who have fallen out with their parents over money.
"Alright then, I'll give you whatever I think is appropriate."
Han Ziming was finally relieved.
"It's not that I don't want you to give them anything, but you need to have influence at home first, so they listen to you. Even if you buy them houses to live in later, I won't object."
Zhang Ruonan immediately realized what was happening.
"You're not worried that if they get a taste of success, they'll turn around and force you to sell yourself for even more money, are you?"
Han Ziming was stunned for two seconds.
"I really didn't think about it that way. I'm just afraid that if they suddenly have money, they'll go astray and it will implicate you."
"So you have to control it and give it to me slowly."
"I see."
Zhang Ruonan understood and nodded.
"By the way, Xiao Hong has received a lot of phone calls these past few days, from people handing over scripts to people looking for endorsements."
Han Ziming explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, I've already spoken with Xiao Hong and President Zhao. Let's put these aside for now and talk about them after the show finishes airing."
Zhang Ruonan felt a warmth in her heart; it felt so good to be cared for.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
She knew that Xiao Hong was now occasionally relaying messages to Han Ziming, telling him about her situation.
In fact, Han Ziming planned to let her take on endorsements after the movie "Cry Me a Sad River" is released next year.
Short generation is also acceptable.
However, brands need to be carefully selected.
After all, brands these days are very shrewd. They sign short-term endorsement contracts with celebrities who appear in dramas for about two or three months, and the contracts expire once the drama ends and the hype dies down.
After the two finished their discussion,
Han Ziming then called Li Feng.
As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point:
"Mr. Li, 'The Beginning' is a hit, 'The Great Wall's' box office has halved, and the media probably won't be able to make much of a splash. We can start our film's release date announcement and promotion now!"
"Okay, boss. I've already planned everything out with the publicity staff from China Film Group and Fiber Optics a few days ago, and the media articles have also been arranged."
Just send it out tomorrow. The movie only has 10 days left for promotion, and preview screenings start in 5 days.
"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."
He was actually helpless, because he hadn't expected it to clash with "The Great Wall" in terms of release date.
I remember in my previous life, the competition during the 2017 Spring Festival film season was fierce, with movies starring big names like Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, and Jimmy Cho all vying for a spot at that time.
However, he chose the New Year's Day holiday season.
The problem is not big.
After arranging everything, he dragged Zhang Ruonan to watch Tencent's web series "Candle in the Tomb".
Fortunately, the filming wasn't too bad.
However, it is a major IP after all, and Jin Dong is considered a top star in the TV drama industry, with hit dramas such as "Nirvana in Fire," "The Disguiser," and "Ode to Joy."
Fortunately, this doesn't affect the viewership of "The Beginning," so viewers can watch both simultaneously.
After watching "Candle in the Tomb," Han Ziming pulled Zhang Ruonan into the room, and the two began to discuss serious matters for the future.
-----------------
However, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever in the Chinese entertainment industry.
The news of Han Ziming's "The Beginning" becoming a hit quickly spread throughout the industry.
After finishing the call, Li Feng informed the publicity staff of China Film Group and Fiber Optics that the film was scheduled for release on New Year's Day and could be promoted.
In less than an hour, the news spread like wildfire in various industry chat groups, like a virus.
Within hours, it became the talk of the town, causing a huge uproar among industry insiders.
After all, very few people work on both TV series and movies at the same time, and everyone is envious of how popular "The Beginning" is.
Late at night, in an industry film directors' exchange group,
It's been a long time since anyone has spoken.
Suddenly someone shared a link to a marketing account that claimed "The Beginning" had over 10 billion views, and the group chat immediately became lively.
Did you see what happened?
"I saw it!"
"+1"
"Mozi Pictures is such a lucky company; their very first project was a huge hit!"
"Not only that, I just received inside information that Mozi Films' first movie is scheduled for release on New Year's Day!"
"Why is it being released so soon?!"
"You must have connections, right?"
"What kind of yarn is it?"
"Is it that kid who dissed us on Weibo?"
"Yes, that's him!"
"I suggest we petition to have him blacklisted!"
"+1!"
"I suggest you stop suggesting it!"
"Exactly, what era are we living in?! These works were all primarily funded by his own company! What's the point of a ban?"
"Damn, you know what, I did some research, and this kid's got some skills. The film's investment background involves state-owned enterprises, cinema chains, and marketing."
"Wow! So he's already planned his escape route. Even if someone tries to sabotage him, he's not afraid. He's got the whole operation covered!"
"Stop being so sour. I heard that the collaboration with 'The Beginning' involves revenue sharing, and iQiyi is offering it for free. Would you dare to do a collaboration like that?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
"But kiwifruit is making a killing!"
"Yes, I heard that GG's investment has reached 3 million!"
"Doesn't that mean you can't ban movies and TV series?"
"Ban you my foot!"
"If movies could make money, the three giants would definitely be tied to him!"
"They're already tying it up. I heard from Guo Jingming a while ago that Mozi Films bought the film rights to 'Cry Me a Sad River' and they're preparing to start filming!"
"You said he provoked us before, which is why he's getting this much attention. Could it have been planned in advance?"
"Ah, this..."
"No way?"
"That's terrifying!"
......
Clever directors, entertainment company executives, and people lurking in the group all started trying to contact people at Mozi Films after seeing these messages.
They wanted to get involved in Han Ziming's next film; after all, "The Beginning" had almost made Li Xian a top star!
Furthermore, Han Ziming's refusal to allow Zhang Ruonan to accept endorsements has forced many brands to turn to Li Xian.
This week, Li County has been approached by no fewer than 10 endorsement deals.
This makes others extremely envious!
