This director is very reliable

Chapter 170 Schedule Adjustment (Sixth Monthly Ticket Added)

This is the first time for Shen Changlin to experience such a battle...

In the previous publicity, he used the VIP channel.

I didn't leave this time because the company said that it must be done with great fanfare!
After all, it can be regarded as winning glory for the country.

So I was blocked by reporters...

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

"Changlin, this trip to Berlin has won the jury award. Do you have anything to say?"

"I'm just happy, I have no other ideas... By the way, I do have some ideas, even if it's not so difficult to win awards overseas!"

"Chang Lin, you mentioned the overseas copyright sales information of "Search" on Weibo, can you explain in more detail?
"Overseas copyrights are still going well, probably sold for about 800 million US dollars. The biggest gain from this trip to Berlin is that overseas copyright sales are not so easy, but they are not that difficult..."

The way out was blocked, so Shen Changlin could only stop and deal with the media.

"Overseas only recognize the selling point. The overseas full copyright price of many films of some big casts may only be 1 US dollars, while more films are not even interested, including some well-known directors' works."

"For Chinese-language films with internationally renowned actors or directors, popular genres, or high-profile topics, the full copyright price in some regions is basically around 5 to 10 euros!"

"I chatted with some filmmakers. When they choose a film, quality is always the first consideration. A film has a strong cast and a good lens expression. If there is no complete story and excellent quality , it will be difficult to make a difference in the film market.”

"And to be honest, there are very few domestic stars who are well-known overseas!"

"So, many companies in China say how much a film sells, and it can be several million dollars at every turn. That's pure bragging!"

"I heard that Sony bought the remake rights?"

"Yes, the producer valued Jason's importance, and it worked through Sony...Jason is the producer of Sony, and worked on "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and "The Weather Forecaster"..."

The traffic jam was a bit tight, but Shen Changlin was not in a hurry, the problem was that it affected the normal passage of the people behind!

The airport staff came and told me about the situation...

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

""Search" is not an entertainment movie for the general public, and the things discussed are quite serious... And when it was released, there were Hollywood blockbusters disrupting the situation. I think it will be a success if it exceeds [-] million!"

"The increase in the share of imported films... has no effect on me, because I always firmly 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!"

In the end, of course, I took out the Silver Bear trophy, made a gesture of holding it high, and took pictures together...

……

A company, a group of people sitting in a conference room...

"Search" won the award, of course I am happy, but the question arises, should we arrange to release it in March?
The right time, place and people are perfect!

On the one hand, it is to take advantage of Berlin's winning momentum to "strike while the iron is hot", the so-called timing.

The location is favorable, and March is very suitable for the "survival" of literary films-there are few domestic blockbusters, and Hollywood is off-season!

It’s really an off-season. If it’s released on March 3, the most powerful opponent is “War Horse”, Spielberg’s work, a feature film about World War II, with a box office prospect of more than 2 million at most...

Moreover, last year's "Guanyin Mountain" was released in March, and the final box office was 6930 million.

Human harmony is 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?
Is it because few people watch movies?

Last year, if "Battle of Los Angeles" hadn't been released, the market would have been worth less than [-] million in March!

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

At an impasse, Guo Songjiang took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one, lit it, and asked, "When is the scheduled date?"

"April 4th, May 27st..."

"Then what is the box office target for all of us?"

"The most basic thing is over [-] million. Our goal is to create the highest box office record for an art film in China!"

"...what's the current record?"

"The 1.44 million of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"!"

1.44 billion…

Guo Songjiang did some calculations, then nodded, and said in an affirmative tone, "Let's move up the file and go on March 3! I'll go tell Changlin!"

"Over there with the light, I'll do the docking!"

"The publicity plan will come out at night!"

"Wait a minute," Guo Songjiang stopped a group of employees who were ready to move: "I'll report to the boss first..."

……

Lao Guo is considered a professional manager...

In order to keep their positions, a professional manager must not only understand the performance, but also understand the boss's mentality!
Otherwise, no matter how good you are, the boss will still tell you to leave if he doesn't like you.

Changlin Film and Television is owned by Shen Changlin, and the entire project of "Search" is also owned by Shen Changlin, and when discussing the schedule before, it was set on April 4th, and it will be shown together with "Golden Robbery", "Everyman" and "Killing", showing young The director is not afraid of Hollywood's determination!
All the marketing plans are done.

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

What do you take him for?

So, this time, he first discussed with Shen Changlin, trying to persuade him...

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

"Old Guo is here!"

Guo Songjiang was full of surprise, and said in a very exaggerated tone, "The great director has returned to China?"

Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed: "...what a big 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 the photographer, so what does it have to do with the director?"

Shen Changlin said in a serious tone: "The film is not about the director alone, nor is it about the photographer alone. The award for photography is also for the film. We can talk like this in private, but by the end, you must not say anything that looks down on "White Deer Plain." "if!"

"...I know, everyone in this house is my own..."

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

"It's just... Regarding the release date of "Search", do you think we need to adjust it?"

"...Actually, I've also thought about this. It's true that there are gimmicks when it's released on May 4st, but the market is so big that it's impossible for four domestic films to be released at the same time..." Shen Changlin frowned and asked, "What do you think? "

"How about March 3?"

"Number 2...that's next week?"

"Yes, we did some research..."

Before Guo Songjiang could start talking, Shen Changlin nodded: "Okay, let's go next week!"
