However, Dongfang Yanran was different. Although she was not a so-called noble, her temperament made her appear elegant and noble in any occasion. The reason why she asked Qin Long to change his clothes was to make him look more elegant and not to be underestimated. If Qin Long still wore his original clothes and looked honest during the press conference later, the reporters would think that Qin Long was soft and easy to bully. However, it had to be said that Buddha needed gold clothes, and people needed clothes. After putting on this slim-fitting summer collection from Port, his entire temperament had undergone a drastic change. The clothes were extremely fitting, making him look noble and a little fashionable. In short, it made people pay attention to his inner qualities and ignore his age. In this way, Dongfang Yanran was not afraid that she would not be able to suppress the crowd because of Qin Long's youth.
When Oriental Film announced that " Breyer the Witch " was fake, that everything was fictional, and that it was a movie, it caused a huge sensation because most people had always thought that it was real and a documentary. However, there was an even bigger sensation after that. The shooting cost of " Breyer the Witch " was 50,000 yuan, and the director was a high school graduate who had not yet gone to university. It was like a clap of thunder! All the film companies and entertainment media in the entertainment district were shocked. The film critics and movie fans were also shocked. Looking at the rankings, they were speechless. 470 million was the second place in the box office rankings for the month. It was only 20 million different from the first place's 490 million. The most important thing was the completely unbalanced cost. One film only cost 50 thousand, but the other cost 300 million.
The media couldn't turn a blind eye to this explosive news. Therefore, when Oriental Film held a press conference, a large number of entertainment media came over.
" We are now at the press conference for 'Blaire the Witch'. As you can see, there are already a large number of entertainment media attending this press conference. They are all curious about this high school director. Who exactly is this high school director? Our station will follow up on this report.”On TVV channel's entertainment program, a young female reporter held a microphone and spoke to the camera.
The same scene appeared in other media outlets, and the focus of the reports revolved around this high school director.
When Qin Long appeared with Ning Lin and a few other actors, the scene immediately became chaotic. The reporters all wanted to squeeze forward. Fortunately, Oriental Film was prepared and let all the reporters sit on the chairs and raise their hands to ask questions.
Qin Long casually pointed at a reporter sitting in the middle.，The reporter stood up excitedly and asked," Director Qin Long, how did you come up with the idea of shooting a movie with DV?"”
Qin Long smiled and said," Actually, this is a coincidence. My dream is to become an excellent director.”Qin Long wasn't making this up. His dream was to be a director." Later on, I planned to apply for Hangzhou Art College. Everyone knows that there is a test to apply for the Hangzhou Art College, which requires one to have one's own work. At first, I wanted to make a micro movie, but I quickly rejected it. I thought why not use DV to shoot it? Wouldn't that make it more realistic? So, I used DV to shoot.”Qin Long had thought of this reason long ago.
"Why did you choose a horror movie over a comedy?”another reporter asked.
"Hehe, it's very simple. I'm going to shoot a DV movie, and the best thing about DV movies is that they're realistic. That's why I chose a horror movie.”
"Then, did you write the script for 'Blaire the Witch'?”
"Yes."
"Then, Miss Ning Lin, when you received Qin Long's invitation to film, what did you think at that time? Why did you agree to film this movie?”
Ning Lin picked up the microphone on the table and smiled slightly." Actually, at first I thought it was a prank, but he was very serious at the time. Later, I thought about it and felt that shooting a movie with DV was not bad, so I agreed.”
"What about Mr. Lin Yuhong?"
"That day, I saw Qin Long's recruitment on the Internet. At that time, I wanted to apply for Hangzhou Art College, so I went to the audition with the mentality of giving it a try. At first, I thought that this movie was Qin Long's assessment work. Then he said,'This is a movie that can be put on the big screen and the box office will be good.'”He glanced at Qin Long, shrugged, and said with a smile,""But to be honest, at that time, I only thought that this guy was crazy.”
...........
After the press conference ended, Qin Long returned home. He had something important to do, which was to get Haitao to buy a record company. It didn't need to be big, but it had to be well-equipped. Initially, Qin Long did not plan to buy it due to a lack of funds. However, the box office earnings of " Breyer the Witch " exceeded his expectations. It was 470 million, and his share of the profits would be 240 million. After the 200 million from the acquisition of Huayu and the filming of " Home Alone ", there was still a balance of 40 million. Qin Long asked Li Haitao to use 20 million to buy a record company, and the remaining 20 million would be used as working capital.
On the other side, the high school director had become the headline of the entertainment media for the past few days. Qin Long's information had also been dug up by the media, including the two songs he had sung at the graduation ceremony,"School Belle" and "Blue Butterfly". Many media outlets had also quoted him as a multi-talented young man.
Many people who had heard of " The Briar Witch " but had never seen it before wanted to see what kind of movie it was after knowing that the director was a high school student and that it was the second best box office movie. Therefore, many people who had never seen the movie went to the cinema to watch " The Briar Witch ", which made it a little popular again. This was unexpected to Qin Long and Dongfang Film.
Finally, in the fourth week," Breyer the Witch " was released in the entertainment district. Although the box office in the last week was less than 80 million, there was no doubt that this movie was already a miracle and a legend. With a production cost of 50,000 RMB and a promotional cost of less than 100,000 RMB, the box office sales in the entertainment district had reached 550 million RMB!
The Oriental Film Company was already preparing for the overseas distribution. On the Internet, fans from the European Union and the United States expressed their expectations for the film. They were sure that the overseas distribution would not incur any losses. The popularity might not be as popular as the entertainment industry, but it would not be difficult to make the global box office of " Breyer the Witch " exceed 800 million.
This astonishing box office earnings made all the film companies and analysts drop their jaws. What kind of movie could have a profit ratio of more than 40,000 times? Blair the Witch told everyone. Oriental Film was now the most coveted film company in the country. They were known as the " business miracle " The viral publicity of " Breyer the Witch " also won the admiration of professionals. No one believed that the " rumors " that appeared on the Internet at the beginning were not written by the East.
At the same time, many professional analysts estimated that Qin Long's net worth had exceeded 250 million. With the overseas distribution of " The Witch," his net worth would soon rise to more than 300 million. A 19-year-old billionaire, Qin Long's reputation was unparalleled.
Qin Long didn't care about the media's reports. He didn't deny or respond because he had received a notice from the Hangzhou Art College that he had been accepted. Similarly, Ning Lin, Ah Feng, and Lin Yuhong had also been accepted by the Hangzhou Art College.
Today was the 22nd of August, and the registration date was the 29th of August. Qin Long had been staying at home for the entire week. He was writing the script for iPartment. In this world, the status of a TV series was not inferior to that of a movie. This was because TV series had the most viewers, and the actors in the TV series were also the most familiar to the audience. If you were to shoot a movie, even if you were the main character, how much time would you have to appear on screen? 90 minutes, which was only the time of two episodes of a TV series. Moreover, it was being watched in a cinema. How many people were watching this movie? Even if you were a Best Actor, the number of people who watched movies was not as many as the number of people who watched television dramas. Therefore, many Best Actor would film a few television dramas before filming a movie to accumulate popularity. In this world, the price of each episode of a TV series was much higher than on Earth. There was once a TV series in this world that cost 11 million per episode, and it was the first broadcast rights. If the online and second broadcast rights were included, each episode would cost almost 30 million. This was unimaginable on Earth.
iPartment was about seven young men and women with different backgrounds, identities, and dreams living in two ordinary suites in a not-so-luxurious apartment. Without exception, they were all people with stories. In this iPartment, this seemingly ordinary but fun story happened every day. Sometimes it was funny, sometimes it was bizarre, sometimes it was romantic, and sometimes it was touching. When they were together, they used laughter and anger to convey the living conditions and values of the new generation of young people. When they were together, they used their witty words to create a hilarious joke and sparks of wisdom.
There was no doubt about the power of iPartment. This kind of " three noes " drama series, which had no stars, no crew, and no publicity, could enter the top three nationwide viewership ratings in one fell swoop and was nominated for the " TV Series of the Year " list. Xiangnan Satellite TV spent a lot of money to create " Let's Watch Meteor Shower " in 2009, but it barely managed to tie with the first season of the " San Wu " TV series " iPartment." In terms of netizens 'reputation," Let's Watch Meteor Shower " was slightly inferior to " iPartment." Many netizens praised the drama with words such as " funniest,"" most talented," and " freshest."
