Chapter 44: Schedule Selection

Finally got some money back!

In the past six months, I have spent a lot of money.

In fact, the box office share of "Xiu Chun Knife" was paid in advance by Guangguang.

A total of 39 million, excluding the 10 million invested, the profit is 29 million...

Actually it’s not that high…

After all, the price of Bitcoin has increased tenfold!

Making movies is never a good business.

But then again, making money through movies is indeed a different feeling.

Guo Songjiang came in at the same time as a man named Yang Fan, who was responsible for reporting: "The estimated revenue from the pre-roll advertising of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is at least 20 million..."

Yang Fan is the head of the company's new film project team, while Guo Songjiang is in charge of the TV series project team and artist management work.

I heard that he was from Haitui Company, and Guo Songjiang spent a lot of effort to find him...

"Because of "Xiu Chun Dao"?"

"Well... the market is quite optimistic about "Xiuchundao 2", with the original cast starring..."

"...But the director has changed?"

"Everyone believes in your script!"

Shen Changlin nodded...

"In addition, many people have contacted us and want to invest in "Xiu Chun Dao 2"..."

"oh?"

Yang Fan added: "They are all newly registered film and television companies, and they are basically coal bosses behind them..."

It seems that the time has come for coal bosses to make aggressive transformations - if they don't transform, they can't do it. The supervision strategy is very strict, and they only catch those who produce coal in violation of regulations. If someone catches a violation, they will be fined millions. Who can bear such a punishment?

Jia Zhangke said something before: From 2009 to 2010, Jia's company in BJ was very lively because he often welcomed some Shanxi fellows. Most of these fellows were coal bosses. When they saw him, they asked: "What should I do? The coal mines are not allowed to do it." I have so much cash in my hand!" One of the entrepreneurs was very young and the weakest - "I don't have much money on hand, only 300 million!"

You said that when they invest in movies, aren't they afraid of losing money?

Talking to them about box office division, market, etc., they don't understand...

I don’t know what to be afraid of. The coal boss has the coal boss’s plans and pursuits.

"Are there any conditions?"

"Gasai actress..."

""Xiu Chun Knife 2" is a purely men's drama, except for one character, Ding Baiying, who is a woman... Didn't this character say she was looking for Yu Nan?"

Guo Songjiang interjected: "Boss Renmei invests in movies just to flatter his mistress or sleep with female stars!"

Shen Changlin frowned: "Do you know how difficult it is for me to find an actress with an aggressive expression? Yu Nan was selected by Lu Yang and I..."

"Then... we refuse?"

"Reject it...it's not our style to take other people's money and do nothing!"

"Xiu Chun Knife 2" stars Deng Chao + Zhang Yi + Lei Jiayin. There are two female characters, Ding Baiying and Ding Chong. Ding Baiying must be Yu Nan, and Ding Chong chose Xin Zhilei, who just graduated...

Well, I didn't choose it, it was recommended by someone, Donnie Yen's agent Liang Ting...

Look, all the actors are complete, who can be kicked out now?

Guo Songjiang nodded: "Then... let's do this for now."

Shen Changlin continued to read the financial report and asked by the way: "Is there anything else?"

"Movie viewing party tonight?"

"Of course we go together!"



Once the film is finished, there will be an in-house screening.

Also called a preview.

In the field of games, test screenings are similar to internal tests. If there are bugs, depending on the severity, general plot issues can still be corrected through editing or special effects, and the possibility of reshoots is not ruled out.

Generally, internal personnel from the producer, theater representatives and publicity teams will be invited to participate.

Solicit suggestions and plan publicity.

It only took less than four months for "33 Days of Love" from planning to start-up and completion!

The light inside was shocked by Xue Xiaolu's efficiency, but at the same time, he was also slightly worried...

The release time of "33 Days Out of Love" is somewhat conflicting with "The Greatest Happiness", another film controlled and released by Enlight...

"The Greatest Happiness" will be released on January 31st, and "33 Days After Love" will be released on February 10th...

The interval is too short!

The Rays intend to cancel the show for a week or two.

On the one hand, we avoid "Jiang Ai", and on the other hand, we don't want to cause resource hedging!

After all, "The Greatest Happiness" is the third part of the "Happy Events" series between Ray Guang and Huang Baiming. "Happy Events at Home 2009", "Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010", and then "The Greatest Happiness" were all released by RayLance...

Then I changed "Eight Star Announcement" to LeTV.

Well, actually, Li Xiaoping and Shen Changlin were behind "33 Days of Love", and Zhang Zhao was the one behind "The Greatest Happiness"!

Involving the internal competition of light...



"The story of this movie that grows out of our current lives is joyful and warm. This is the kind of story that audiences like!"

"Typical chick flick, which is more important, love or dignity, self-rescue or being saved."

"Chick movies have often created great examples around the world, such as "Runaway Bride", "Legally Blonde", "Sleepless in Seattle", etc... including last year's hit "Perfect". Unfortunately, Zhang Ziyi's

The appearance is insulated from chick flicks...but the white lily used in our movie is very suitable for chick flicks!"

After watching the movie, Yang Fan first summarized the advantages of "33 Days of Love", and then said: "Using Sina Weibo and Renren as promotional positions, "33 Days of Love" focuses on emotional nostalgia and venting.

College students and white-collar workers born in the 1985s and 1990s have turned the movie topic into a social topic, closely following the keywords of 'broken love', following hot topics, and constantly creating topics. To arouse resonance and attack the heart."

"We are planning to shoot 'The Story of Lost Love' in 7 cities, and the cost of material production, etc. is about 1.5 million yuan."

"In traditional media, about 2 million yuan of hard advertising is needed."

"With this money, our company can provide materials for the story of Lost Love, and we can also produce and distribute them... We only ask for one thing, "33 Days of Love" will be released on February 10~"

Zhang Zhao interrupted: "I would like to ask, what are your box office expectations?"

Yang Fan looked at Shen Changlin, who said: "Let's see if we can gain momentum. If we can gain momentum, I think it would be relatively easy to cross 200 million~"

"You take it too much for granted," Zhang Zhao shook his head: "Not to mention, who knows the actors in "33 Days of Love"? Based on my years of experience, the maximum is 20 million!"

Shen Changlin changed his approach: "Let's do this, we will do the promotion ourselves, and you can just give us normal treatment in terms of distribution!"

"What we are discussing now is the schedule!"

“Let’s release both parts together!”

"...Releasing two movies in one schedule is a waste of resources!"

Shen Changlin looked at Li Xiaoping, who shook his head and stood up to argue: "I don't think there is a problem. The audiences of these two movies are different. The audience of "The Greatest Happiness" watches a Hong Kong-style comedy, and the audience of "Love Is Not Blind" watch

The majority are post-85s white-collar workers and post-90s student groups..."

Zhang Zhao: "The number of screens now is not enough to talk about the audience!"

"Then tell me, why is the box office of the Happy Event series about the same every year? It means the audience is already established!"

"...But this year's lineup is unprecedentedly strong. Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, Liu Jialin, Zhang Baizhi...are almost the most popular Hong Kong stars today!"
Chapter completed!
