"What a pity, but I think we will have a chance to drink it well.
I wish you a box office hit and a smooth shooting of your new film, and then…”
"There is still a chance to cooperate." Chen Tian interrupted Tom Oldenberg with a smile.
"oH, yes." Tom Odenberg smiled and held Chen Tian's hand together.
The moment when Tom Oldenberg signed the contract in his office, Chen Tian's heart was completely relieved.
Looking at his signature on the contract, he felt indescribable excitement. At this moment, he wanted to share his joy. A woman wrapped in bed sheets got into his mind, and Chen Tian's mouth subconsciously curled up a curve.
"Mr. Jon Filtimel, you all know about publicity. I think you will make good use of it. If you need specific cooperation, please contact me, and I will tell Scarlett." Chen Tian touched his forehead, "By the way, about how you need Blackberry and ZIPPO to cooperate, you can send me the publicity plan directly and I will forward it or you can contact them directly."
"We will make good use of it." Jon Filtimel responded with a smile.
Chen Tian was not very relieved. He was a little worried that the Lions Gate would not do the right publicity.
It seems that the highest 50 million is only 22%, but this is the box office share, not the net income share. In fact, if the box office really reaches 50 million, Chen Tian will basically take away half of the net income or even more than half.
The real profit of Lions Gate is in the DVD and TV payment markets. Chen Tian couldn't help but be worried when he thought of this.
Although this kind of thinking is very villainous, Chen Tian still wants to do something and be prepared to wait passively. Of course, he hopes that this won't be the case.
"By the way, how to set the schedule of "Burning Live"?" Chen Tian remembered the most important question.
No matter how good a movie is, it requires the best schedule. If the schedule is not well scheduled, it is likely to directly lead to poor final box office returns.
In the American film market, each year is divided into five periods: winter, spring, summer, autumn and Christmas holidays.
The end of the New Year holiday to the second Thursday in March is called the winter schedule, and the day after the end of the winter schedule to the first Thursday in May is the spring schedule.
The long and hot summer season is followed, starting from the first Friday in May and going all the way to the first Monday in September.
The first Monday in September is Labor Day in the United States, and it is also the time for students to start school.
The fall period begins after Labor Day until the week before Thanksgiving, almost the third Thursday of November.
The whole of the United States will then enter the end of the year holiday, and American movies will also enter the Christmas holiday schedule until the New Year weekend.
There is a corresponding viewing trend in each schedule. The crowd of viewers of thrillers and suspense films like "Buried Live" will be after July.
At this time, the interest of the film begins to tend toward adults, thrillers, action movies and comedy increases.
Many thrillers will choose to be released in the junction of 7 and 8 months. The best release date for thrillers and horror movies is undoubtedly Halloween, which is also the period for countless thrillers and horror movies to compete for.
Many films will choose to release a week before Halloween to get a good reputation and then win more box office in this small period.
Jon Filtimel looked at Chen Tian and said, "We want to promote it. Now it is not a good choice to enter the schedule. We are planning to promote it for half a month and then choose to release it on a small scale.
Then arrange it according to the specific situation, and if the effect is very good, it will be released in early August.
At that time, all the new films that were released immediately after all the blockbusters would not be big productions. Although the market declined sharply during this period, I think it was an opportunity to take advantage of.
After all, it is not a horror movie in nature, and it happens that we can use or even incite anti-war sentiment.
In my opinion, this is the best publicity and will save a lot of publicity expenses. I think it is necessary for us to thank this country of freedom of speech.”
When the four people collided with each other, Chen Tian drank the champagne in the glass in one go, and the cold champagne was so comfortable.
"Justin, welcome again, but can we see the script of your next video in advance? If possible." Michael Parsonneck shrugged.
How could Chen Tian not understand what he meant? How could Chen Tian disagree with the idea of the Lions Gate? If he could invest in the company, it would undoubtedly be the best.
Before traveling through time, including after coming here, Chen Tian walked out through the St. Dennis Film Festival so that he was appreciated by other companies.
In this way, he can not only obtain funds but also obtain a lot of more shooting resources, which are far better than shooting videos by himself.
"No problem, I'll sort out the script after I go back, probably tomorrow, see you next time." Chen Tian waved his hand and walked towards the bus platform. Michael Parsonneck looked at Chen Tian's back and smiled.
"He promised to send us a script, and if it's really good, we must not miss it."
"Really? That's great, I hope I won't be disappointed. We need excellent scripts too much. Putting aside other aspects, he is still a very talented young man." Tom Thorenberg said with a smile.
Standing on the bus platform, Chen Tian held the briefcase in his hand tightly, as if he was afraid that the briefcase would slip away from his hand.
This is the first fruit of success on his dream road, and all this seems to be still in a dream.
Chen Tian pinched himself hard and couldn't help but take a breath in the pain: "It hurts very much, it's true."
Although Santa Monica is beautiful, Chen Tian just wants to go back as soon as possible.
"James, we succeeded, really succeeded, this is a check of one million. This is the contract I signed with them."
Wan Ziren looked at the things in front of him and showed an incredible look: "OH, Justin, you are so awesome. The luckiest thing in my life is to meet you."
"I don't like men, I like women." Chen Tian said with a smile, "They asked me to send him our script. Their meaning is very clear, that is, I want to see if the script is excellent and then see if I can invest. What do you think?"
Wan Ziren also put away his joyful expression and pondered for a moment: "Actually, I think the scripts "Super Burger King" and "Saw" I am preparing now can be sent to them, but we don't need to accept their investment. Although there are many benefits, there will be many disadvantages."
Seeing that Chen Tian didn't say anything, Wen Ziren continued: "We now have the funds to complete the shooting of these two films. Although the money may have to be careful in every place, we have the initiative.
Whether it is sold to them or to others, we are all proactive.
If they invest, we are just someone who works for them. Do you think we can still sign contracts like this?"
Wen Ziren's words were not bad at all, and Chen Tian was a little annoyed at his own joy and fainted: "Thank you James, I almost forgot these things. I was already knocked out by the joy of victory, if it weren't for you..."
"We are partners." Wen Ziren put it on Chen Tian's shoulder, "Do you want to drink and celebrate?"
"That's a must, but I need to call someone before that."
"Scarlett, right? I, an irrelevant person, left first." Wen Ziren smiled and left Chen Tian's room.
"Xiaoren, why are you out?" Grandma Wang, who was watching TV, saw Wen Ziren come out and asked.
"He?" Wen Ziren pointed to the door and laughed, "He wants to report the good news to an important person. Grandma Wang may you see a celebrity granddaughter-in-law soon."
After hearing Wen Ziren's words, Grandma Wang turned off the TV immediately: "Xiaoren, tell me which one are you? How is the person and how he looks, will it be bad for our Xiaotian?
Those celebrities are all very big names, and my Xiaotian has nothing. Will you play with my Xiaotian's feelings? Xiaoren, talk to me."
Looking at Grandma Wang's anxious look, Wen Ziren smiled: "Grandma Wang, don't worry, this girl is the heroine of the movie we filmed.
Chapter completed!
