This is the first time Shen Changlin has experienced such a battle...

When promoting in the past, he always used the VIP channel.

I didn’t leave this time because the company said it must be done in a big way!

After all, it can be regarded as bringing glory to the country.

So the reporters blocked the way...

"Chang Lin, I heard that you didn't have any hope of winning the prize at first?"

"Chang Lin, this trip to Berlin won the jury award. Is there anything you want to say?"

"I'm just happy, I don't have any other thoughts... By the way, I do have some thoughts. It's not that difficult to win awards overseas!"

"Chang Lin, you mentioned the overseas copyright sales information of "Search" on Weibo, can you give us more details?

"Overseas copyrights went quite smoothly, with about 8 million US dollars sold. The biggest gain from this trip to Berlin is that selling overseas copyrights is not that easy, but it is not that difficult either..."

With his way out blocked, Shen Changlin could only stop and deal with the media.

"Overseas, they only focus on their selling points. The overseas full copyrights of many big-cast films may be sold for only US$10,000, while many more films have no interest at all, including works by some well-known directors."

"For Chinese-language films whose actors or directors are internationally renowned, whose genres are popular or highly topical, the full copyright price in some regions is basically around 50,000 to 100,000 euros!"

"I have talked with some film producers. When they select films, quality is always the first consideration. A film has a strong cast and good camera performance. If it does not have a complete story and excellent quality, , it will be difficult to make a difference in the film market."

"And to be honest, very few domestic celebrities are famous overseas!"

"So, many companies in China say how much a film is sold for, which can easily be millions of dollars. That's pure bragging!"

"I heard that Sony bought the remake rights?"

"Yes, the producer values ​​Jason and operates it through Sony...Jason is a producer of Sony and has produced "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Weatherman"..."

The road was a bit blocked, but Shen Changlin was not in a hurry. The problem was that it was affecting the normal passage of people behind him!

Airport staff came over and explained the situation...

Shen Changlin had no choice but to change places and chat for a while again. This time, the reporter mentioned the box office.

"'Search' is not an entertainment movie for the general public, and the things it explores are quite serious...and when it was released, there were Hollywood blockbusters disrupting the situation. I think over 100 million would be considered a success!"

"The expansion of the share of imported films... has no impact on me, because I always believe in a rule: no matter how many creators you have, excellent works can only account for 5%, and Hollywood may not be able to produce more than 20 blockbuster works every year. , Otherwise, Columbia will not be acquired, and MGM will not be half-dead!"

Finally, of course, I took out the Silver Bear trophy, raised it high, and took pictures...

…

Company, a group of people sitting in a conference room…

Although I am happy that "Search" won an award, the question arises, should it be scheduled to be released in March?

The time is right, the place is right, and the people are perfect!

On the one hand, they are taking advantage of Berlin's award to "strike while the iron is hot," which is called the right time.

Due to the geographical location, March is very suitable for literary and artistic films to "survive" - ​​there are few domestic blockbusters and it is off-season for Hollywood!

It is really the off-season. If it is released on March 2, the most powerful opponent is "War Horse", Spielberg's work, a drama about World War II, with a box office prospect of over 100 million at most...

Moreover, last year's "Guanyin Mountain" was released in March, with a final box office of 69.3 million.

People and people are the quality of the film itself...

Of course, there are problems. The biggest problem is that the schedule is too cold!

Why are there no domestic blockbusters released in March?

Isn’t it because no one goes to the movies?

Last year, if "Battle of Los Angeles" hadn't been released, the total market value for March would have been less than 400 million!

The upper limit of the market is placed here, and this is where everyone hesitates...

Reaching an impasse, Guo Songjiang took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one, lit it, and then asked: "What day was the previously scheduled schedule?"

"April 27th, May Day..."

“So what is our box office target for all of us?”

"The most basic goal is to exceed 100 million, and our goal is to create the highest domestic box office record for an art film!"

“…What’s the current record?”

"144 million for "Hawthorn Tree"!"

144 million…

Guo Songjiang did the math, then nodded, and said in a positive tone: "Let's schedule it, it will start on March 2nd! I'll tell Chang Lin!"

"Over there with the light, I'll connect you!"

"The publicity plan will come out at night!"

"Wait a minute," Guo Songjiang stopped a group of employees who were about to make a move: "Wait a minute, let me report to the boss first..."

…

Lao Guo is considered a professional manager...

If professional managers want to keep their positions, in addition to performance, they must also understand the boss's mentality!

Otherwise, no matter how good you are at your job, your boss will still tell you to get out if he doesn't like you.

Changlin Film and Television is owned by Shen Changlin, and the entire "Search" project is also owned by Shen Changlin. When we discussed the schedule before, we decided on April 27th, which will be released together with "Golden Heist", "Everyone", and "Killing" to show youth.

Director defies Hollywood determination!

All marketing plans have been prepared.

Now that you want to change the schedule, even if you have a valid reason, you have to tell Shen Changlin in advance!

What did you take him for?

Therefore, this time he discussed with Shen Changlin first and tried to persuade him...

He was going to talk about it from the perspective of popularity and market analysis. When he entered the door, Shen Changlin was chatting with Zhao Shan about "Running Man".

"Lao Guo is here!"

Guo Songjiang's face was full of surprise, and he asked in an exaggerated tone: "The great director has returned to China?"

Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed: "...What a great director, I'm just lucky. The chairman of the jury, Mike Lee, likes the style of "Search"..."

"That's because you are so good. Why didn't Wang Quan'an win the award?"

""White Deer Plain" won the photography award..."

"The Photography Award rewards photographers, what does it have to do with directors?"

Shen Changlin's tone was serious: "Films are not the director's business alone, nor are the photographers' business alone. When photography wins awards, the film is also rewarded. We can talk like this in private, but after the conversation, you must not say anything that looks down upon "White Deer Plain"

"Words!"

"...I know, this house is full of people of my own..."

Shen Changlin said 'hmm', and then asked him: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Just... Regarding the release schedule of "Search", do you think it should be adjusted?"

"...Actually, I have also thought about this. It will be released on May 1st. Although it has a gimmick, the market is so big that it is impossible to accommodate four domestic films being released at the same time..." Shen Changlin frowned and asked: "What do you think?

"

"How about March 2nd?"

"No. 2...that's next week?"

"Yes, we studied it..."
Chapter completed!
