my crew is not human

Chapter 65 Talking about cooperation
Those who can become executives are all talented people.

Li Xianyun felt guilty, and everyone immediately laughed.

It's good if you have a guilty conscience, and it's easy to handle it when you have a guilty conscience!
The bald senior man named Lin Quan said, "By the way, we've read your Ghost Appraisal Record, and it's really good."

"Have you read the True Record of Appreciating Ghosts?" Li Xianyun was surprised: "I haven't given the platform yet."

A few days ago, the Record of Appreciation of Ghosts has been reviewed, but it has not yet been sent to the platform.

Because Li Xianyun previously cooperated with the strange platform and the fast platform for the ghost battle in the secret room and the path of the mad corpse respectively, and the third part of the Ghost Story has invested 800 million. He wants to chat with the two platforms and try to secure three A-levels. , so he originally planned to find the platform to sit down and have a cup of tea after the filming was over.

If necessary...it is not impossible to take out 10 yuan.

Li Xianyun felt that his principles were on the decline.

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Did you ask Ren Zhi to take the film to the platform to ask?"

Li Xianyun nodded: "Yes."

If it is officially submitted for review, the grade will not change, so Li Xianyun must ask Ren Zhi to contact the platform first, and give an explanation after reading it privately, so that it will be easy to operate.

Yang Yuandao: "Huayou is very familiar with the three major platforms. They have different ideas about your film."

Li Xianyun gave a thumbs up secretly.

Big companies are awesome.

I didn't officially send the film to the platform, you can all see it.

Lin Quan has touched his bald head, and said with a chuckle: "Every platform has different views on your film. To be honest, it's a good film, but it's a pity that the hardware investment is not enough."

Li Xianyun hummed.

This is true.

The pursuit of Ghost Story is quality. Every shot and every detail has connotation. It requires a lot of design, including lighting and scenery. It doesn't want to be gorgeous, but to focus on it.

But these designs can only be seen by experts, and often not by laymen.

What they can feel is that the story of this film is well told, but they don't know that behind this "well told" is countless painstaking efforts.

On the contrary, the public cannot see the soft cost, but can see the hard cost.

A few dilapidated houses, a few actors, except for those ghost special effects that are really good, there is not much cost to speak of.

The main public that Wangda faces is relatively lower class.

Gorgeous special effects are the pursuit.

Because of this, a film like Jian Ghost Records, in terms of quality, is well qualified to go to theaters.

But judging from the effect of hard decoration on the screen, it can only be regarded as B-level-you take "Hard Fruit Candy" with an investment of one million yuan and a profit of tens of millions, and there are only two people in one room. Grade C.

Li Xianyun made this series at the beginning because of his experience in the original world. At the beginning, the three films in the original world were all B-level, and the investment was small, and he didn't care about it.Li Xianyun is confident that he has invested more and worked harder, so he is full of confidence and makes an A.

But Yang Yuan's words made Li Xianyun's heart sink to the bottom.

Sure enough, Yang Yuandao: "They can see the level of care and real investment in this film, but it doesn't meet the market demand... ghost films are still somewhat niche."

Hearing this, Li Xianyun sighed and said: "I also realized this later. When I first started working, I thought about it from the perspective of a director, because ghost films are what I am good at. I want to improve myself... Hard investment is money, soft investment is strength.”

Yang Yuan nodded: "That's right, from the director's point of view, it's a very good choice for you to shoot Ghost Records. Ghost War in the Secret Room, Road to Wild Corpses, and Ghost Records. From the changes in these films, we can see that, You have made great progress! But from the perspective of a business owner, it is wrong to take pictures of Ghost Records."

Li Xianyun smiled wryly: "I still have a lot to learn. During this period of time, all I think about is how to be a good director, but I ignore that I am still the boss of a company."

"Your biggest neglect is the intention of the platform." Shen Rong said indifferently: "You are an online writer. In your eyes, there is only a single-line connection between the work and the market. But the world is never that simple. Writer There are also platforms, and if the platform fails, articles cannot be published. There are also platforms for film and television, and there are even more reviews. Failure to pass or low evaluation will also be greatly affected. Everyone understands the principle of quality and word of mouth, but it is too nihilistic. It’s not something you can do if you want to.”

Li Xianyun deeply thought so.

Who doesn't know that a good reputation is important?

But why do so many people still choose quick success?

Because of word-of-mouth and quality, you really don’t have what you want to have—some bad movies may also be masterpieces of painstaking efforts.

In fact, the level is not enough, and the attitude has nothing to do!

And even if you really make a good film, the market may not admit it—there are too many films that are well-received or not well-received.

This is especially the case for major platforms: they don’t rate movies based on investment, but the core effect of the film-I’ll run over to check your account if I look at the investment?Whoever does a good job of fake accounts gets a higher rating?
The audience of the big web is mainly based on gorgeous special effects. In this case, no matter how good the content of your film is, it may not be easy to sell.

Of course, it is not impossible to make great efforts to publicize.

But still.

Why?
The reason why the C-level evaluation and A-level publicity of Road to the Dead Corpse is because it met the needs of platform publicity at that time, and more people were needed to invest in the industry of Wangda.But just like that, a share of up to 80.00% was charged.

There is no such condition in Jiangui Shilu, so the possibility of B-level is still very high.

This is really not a shady scene, but a market choice!

For an investment of 800 million, if there are three B-grades, then the cost will be recovered at most. The profit is hard to say. It depends on how the sales are. If the market does not recognize it, losses are also possible——B-grades are more popular than A-grades There are also A grades that sell worse than B grades.

But now that Yang Yuan and Shen Rong said this, Li Xianyun looked at them, only to find that they were looking at Jiang Zheng.

Ok?
Li Xianyun suddenly woke up.

Is the other party saying this on purpose, is he suppressing himself?

No, it's pressing Jiang Zheng!
Yes, they said before that the technology was developed by Jiang Zheng's company.

What Yang Yuan and the others value most now is actually not Li Xianyun's directing skills, but this special effect!
That is to say, if the cooperation between him and Jiang Zheng resulted in losses, Jiang Zheng would probably be dissatisfied with himself theoretically, which would lead to a loss of confidence in him.

Coupled with what I said before...

what!
A group of ghosts!
Li Xianyun sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, it was enough, chatting and laughing to create dissatisfaction in the hearts of the partners, once Jiang Zheng was really dissatisfied, wouldn't that be their opportunity?
Too bad they won't know the truth.

Thinking of this, Li Xianyun heaved a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to Jiang Zheng and said with a smile: "Old Jiang, if the Record of Appreciating Ghosts is rated as B-level, maybe our 800 million yuan will be all in vain. It is luck to get back 8 yuan, that is Nothing to return."

I go!

8 yuan?
What Li Xianyun said was even more ruthless than Yang Yuan and the others!

Jiang Zhenghe is so smart that he immediately understood what Li Xianyun meant.

He laughed and said, "Normal. Who doesn't want to hit a wall when there are bumps and bumps on the road to growth? Don't worry, I still have a little money, at least enough for you to lose a dozen more movies. You just let it go, and I don't care about it. "

"Then I'm relieved." Li Xianyun patted the table: "Isn't it a loss of money? What a big deal. In business, there are losses and gains. If you lose, you will work hard to make it back. We brothers are of one heart..."

"Its profit breaks gold!" Jiang Zheng replied loudly.

The two laughed at the same time, and the people at the opposite table looked at each other.

Partners who are united to this level of sincerity are as rare as giant pandas.
