This director is very reliable

Chapter 114

Let me tell you, why is the ranking of "Big Shot" always so high!

Really just because of the movie itself?

There are still gray deals behind the scenes!

I heard before that "Lost in Thailand" was able to break the record because of the strong distribution of the film-the box office exceeded 5 million, and two points were given to the theaters, and when it exceeded one billion, another two points were conceded.

But this is in line with the laws of business.

Generally speaking, works with good word-of-mouth and high box office choose to sell profits. The theaters line up more films and earn more. The film itself also has more people to see because of the increase in lineup...

Otherwise, you are giving away 100% of the profit, no one will watch it, and the theater will not do it!
According to the original words of the theater manager: "Some movies, if they don't sell well, they don't sell well. Do you still let the movie theaters have empty theaters to arrange movies for them?"If the studios are allowed to support unpopular movies for no reason, then who will support the rent of the studios?If the movie doesn't show up, no matter how good the relationship is, even if the film crew is a real father, they can't wait for the audience with empty seats. '

So, at the end of the day, watch the movie itself!
By the way, Lao Wang doesn't drink, and Shen Changlin doesn't drink very much. They see that the person in charge of the theater is considered a high-end bureau, so they just have a serious chat.

Today I met Gao Jun from the New Film Federation. The New Film Federation has 47 theaters in BJ, firmly occupying the first place in market share.

The three of them drank tea and chatted, and Gao Jun mentioned the insider's opinion of Shen Changlin: "Changlin is also a person with a good reputation in the circle!"

"Me? What reputation do I have?"

"No drinking, no messing around, no bad habits..."

Shen Changlin didn't take it seriously: "There are a lot of people like me, right? Old Wang is also like this, he doesn't drink too much!"

"Yes, Lao Wang's reputation is also good...Let me tell you, the most lustful people are the people in Xiangjiang. If you talk to them, you must find a few young girls, and you must have good wine and good cigarettes...they Call this knowing how to live! What is that called... By the way, Du Wenze, I have dealt with him before, good guy, it cost me 100,000 yuan in three days!"

"...how did you spend it?"

"It's purine..."

People call this informal, romantic...

Still chatting with people on Weibo - I'm just making money from you, playing with your women, hit me, come on, I'm still here to make money from you!

Then got blocked...

Shen Changlin asked another question: "The movie "Martial Arts" can be shot for more than [-] million yuan, why did it cost [-] million yuan?"

Wang Changtian was amused: "What? You want to learn too?"

Shen Changlin quickly waved his hands: "No, I just want to increase my knowledge..."

"It's just cheating. "Martial Arts" is nothing. I have seen a young man before who cheated more than [-] million with just one mouth!"

"Tell me!"

Gao Jun took a sip of tea and started to tell the story. It must have been five years ago. At that time, blockbuster movies were popular, especially martial arts blockbusters. There was a young director who had studied at the BJ Film Academy for a year and suddenly decided to make a movie. The first film to go international!

Save up a martial arts book, then spend money everywhere, and get 100 million from Shanxi Coal Boss by luck!
This amount of money is not enough to make a movie, at most it is a start-up capital.

"and then?"

"Then, our director first puts 50 in his pocket, the remaining 50, or rents or buys a luxury car, and then goes to meet a big star, signs a "contract of intent" that has no legal effect, and then Take a photo with a big star, take this contract and photo with you, deal with the Shanxi Coal Boss, and then go to the Tangshan Iron Boss to make money."

"He was very lucky. Before Shanxi Coal boss's 50 yuan was spent, Tangshan Iron boss's 500 million yuan came to the account... At this time, the movie could not start shooting, because 500 million yuan was not enough, so he had to open a special high-end one first. The "press conference" invited celebrities and industry leaders from all walks of life, and also invited media reporters, and everyone stuffed red envelopes. There must be a big news, and then a bigger fish will be hooked. The boss got 3000 million."

"This…"

"Okay, this is probably enough for the pre-shooting period. I haven't started the machine yet, and the film review team's documents have come down, saying that there is a problem with your script conception, the review has not passed, and the filming license has not been obtained. Then change it. It was finally changed to the satisfaction of the Film Bureau. After two days, rumors spread that martial arts movies have subsided in Europe and the United States, and no one wants to watch them..."

Hearing this, Shen Changlin was very interested: "Then what happened later?"

"Where is the later?"

"No, the money is in place..."

Gao Jun asked back: "The money is in place, why does he want to make a movie?"

Shen Changlin was confused by the question: "Didn't he want to make a movie in the first place?"

"People are here for the money. If you get the money, why don't you run away?"

"... "

And this kind of operation?

Empty glove Aries belongs to yes, awesome!
……

Light has its own distribution team, and they are responsible for the specific business of distribution.

Shen Changlin only participated in some high-end bureaus, mainly accepting interviews. In five days, the result was ten newspapers, three TV stations, and two weekly magazines.

It's all about wheel talk...

These days, the publicity is mainly focused on online marketing, and I have received interviews from Sina, Netease, and Sohu...

Anyway, what can be done better has already been done!

As for the placement of hard materials, Guangguang is still very willing to spend money, made [-] types of posters, and put them in theaters, subway stations, and bus stations;

The trailer is also released in theaters and video sites...

By the way, there is also the mobilization of celebrity friends to help out - that is, before the movie is released, a group of friends are pulled to post on Weibo...

Lianhua, Hu Jun, including Liu Qianqian and Yang Xiaomi all posted on Weibo, with similar content, ""Xiu Chun Knife 2" will be released on September 9, please support it..."

There is no statistics on how high the conversion rate of Weibo celebrity publicity is...

But the effect is definitely there, at least most of those who have plans to watch movies on National Day know the news that "Xiu Chun Knife 2" will be released on August 98, 28.

……

In fact, the September this year is quite cold. The box office of "Global Love" stopped at 50 million in Huayi Group's superstar production!

Also starred by idols, Han Geng + Wu Zun's "The Great Wusheng", the box office stopped at 4000 million...

The industry couldn't figure it out, with the same formula, why "The Great Takeshi" couldn't do "Far Cry"?
In the end, we can only draw a conclusion: Yang Xiaomi is more popular than the two of them tied together!

In addition to these two films, there is another "Xin Hai Revolution" which is also very embarrassing. In the first 5 days, the recipe is worth over ten million!

Domestic films are sluggish, what about Hollywood blockbusters?

The box office of the Hollywood blockbuster "Captain America" ​​is only 6000 million, and Nicolas Cage's "Furious Speed" is not even 4000 million...

It feels as if the audience has released all their passion for watching movies during the summer vacation, and is now in the sage mode.

The only movie with over [-] million yuan is called "The Abyss of Desperation", which is a thriller feature film, and it was approved by China Film Group...

Based on this, the industry has high hopes for "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" and "Legend of the White Snake", hoping to detonate the theaters...
