My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 40 Buried Alive
As the main creator of the film, Zhao Rui was really excited and full of emotions at the beginning of the internal review meeting.

But as time passed, he gradually became tense, twisting his body from time to time very unnaturally, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Like a polite pea worm.

Chi Yu is better, but it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

And because they can basically see or hear other people's reactions in time, the two of them basically didn't have the heart to watch the movie during the whole process of watching the movie, especially Chi Yu, who was watching a movie for the first time.

They are guessing the reaction of this group of audience, and then analyzing the meaning behind this reaction.

Su Effie was not nervous at all.

Although she is the producer, to put it bluntly, although she has done a lot of work in this movie, she is not really the main creator.

After more than 80 minutes.

When the screen goes black, the movie ends.

Then on the dark screen, a line of large characters appeared:
Special thanks to Su Aifei and Chen Youqing for all the work except director, screenwriter and actor during the filming process!

Then it went dark again, and that was it, and it ended abruptly.

Xiao Lu, who was sitting closest to the switch, turned on the light in the meeting room this time without anyone's persuasion.

It suddenly lit up, and everyone was a little uncomfortable.

One by one, looking a little dazed.

Then, except for the two company leaders and the three film participants, others began to discuss in a low voice.

"Huh? Is this the end?"

"It's a little short, isn't it?"

"It's so exciting! Can an actor and a scene actually make such a film?"

"So, was the rest of my life saved in the end?"

When they said this sentence, their eyes were on the two screenwriters.

Zhao Rui grinned and wanted to talk, but felt his throat was a bit dry. He took two big gulps of bottled water before explaining, "This is an open ending, you can think whatever you want."

"..."

Everyone wanted to hit him a little bit.

Zhao Rui quickly disentangled the relationship: "I can't blame me for this. The script I originally wrote was to write the male lead to death. It was Chi Yu who said that an open ending is better..."

When he said this, he was stunned.

Because at this time, everyone looked at him even more angrily.

At the same time, they began to praise the ending of Chi Yu's reform.

"The ending after the change is better."

"And the open ending can give the audience more room for imagination."

"That's right, if this movie gets good results after it's released, we can operate "Buried Alive 2" and "Buried Alive 3"!"

"..."

Zhao Rui looked at Chi Yu speechlessly.

Chi Yu was even more speechless. What's the difference between his explanation just now and pouring oil on himself and then lighting the fire himself?
He was quite smart before, but why did he lose weight and become mentally troubled?
Is it the brain capacity that gets thinner first?
Boom boom boom!
At this time, Su Aijia knocked on the table and stopped everyone's chattering: "The main thing to discuss next is whether this movie can be released, whether there is any prospect of release, and how to release it?"

In fact, there is a question:
How to announce it.

As one of the invisible "main creators" of the film, Yang Mi is not easy to speak.

Su Aifei is just a manager and has no right to speak.

Chi Yu and Zhao Rui, the parties involved, had no right to speak.

So those who can speak are the following people, the heads of the company's film and television production, publicity and distribution and other related departments.

As the gatekeeper, Xiao Lu was the first to raise his hand and speak:

"President Su, Sister Mi, I think there is a certain market for this film. When announcing it, we can focus on some colleges and universities, because they are the most able to promote themselves."

You are right.

but--

"If colleges and universities are the focus of publicity, will it be counterproductive?"

Is this not believing in the hard power of the movie?

But he didn't say it implicitly, which made Yang Mi dissatisfied, so he directly pointed out: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. These are all the company's own people, and there is nothing to hide."

That person was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Chi Yu and Zhao Rui, organized his words, and said, "I'm not saying that the quality of this film is not good. On the contrary, it's very high and surprisingly good. But..."

Everything has a but.

"After all, this film has a new director and new actors, and the scene is so extremely simple. This may be a unique work in the history of film. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate."

Su Aijia didn't speak, but just wrote and drew in the notebook.

A girl opposite him, about 30 years old, immediately retorted: "The most important thing about a movie is its quality. If the quality is good, we can release it. Do you care if he is a newcomer?"

"That's what I said, but in the film industry, big-name directors, big-name stars and big box office are already standard, right?"

"It's not necessarily true. There are also cases of small-budget and small-scale productions that win big box office."

"I think we are thinking a little bit wrong? Should we be discussing now to win a big box office? According to my guess, the production cost of this movie should not exceed 100 million?"

At this moment, a person spoke up and stopped everyone's deviation from thinking too much.

"Yes, from filming to post-production, the cost is less than 50 if those personal relationships are not counted," Zhao Rui said.

He wasn't embarrassed either.

On the contrary, Zhao Rui is proud enough to be able to produce such a high-quality film at a cost of 50 yuan.

"50 million?!"

"hiss!"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

"It's unbelievable. Although the actors' remuneration and scenes should not cost much, the post-editing, soundtrack, and other things should also cost a lot of money, right?"

"With 50 yuan, can a movie be made?"

"Brilliant!"

In fact, the bulk of the money was mainly spent on renting photographic equipment.

I really didn't spend a lot of money on actors and scenes.

The coffin is self-made, with 3 actors.

The staff are all picked up for nothing.

Of course, part of the money was spent on daily food for the crew.

The person who asked about the production cost was stunned for a moment, and then said: "So, what we are considering is a movie that can earn 200 million box office, even if it earns, if it breaks through [-] million, it will be a big profit movie."

This guy sets the tone well.

A small leader in the publicity department said: "Adding the cost of publicity, if the ratio is 1:1, it is 100 million investment. Although the publicity of 50 is a drop in the bucket, you can choose some special ways, you can't go It is not in line with the characteristics of this movie to make announcements through formal channels."

This is a very talkative one.

But when he was talking, his eyes were on Zhao Rui, Yang Mi and Su Aijia.

The implication is that it is very difficult to spend money on big things for the announcement of this movie.

But there are ways to do great things without spending money.

That is to mobilize the power of the three people's connections.

Mr. Su is in the capital circle, and Yang Mi is in the entertainment circle.

As for Zhao Rui, he guessed that he should have some connections in the movie circle, otherwise, it would be impossible to make such a complete movie.

Those soundtracks and editing, at first glance, are masters.

Without contacts, it will cost a lot of money.

And Zhao Rui himself said it just now, if it's not a human relationship.

"So, let's confirm the first release. This movie will definitely be released. Do you have any opinions?" Su Aijia put down her pen and looked at everyone.

"Yes, the screening must be screened!"

"It's too wrong not to show such a good movie to the audience."

"It must be released. First of all, in terms of word of mouth, I think this movie can have a good influence on us at Su Tang Media."

"Yes, it's released, and it's going to apply for an award! This movie is so award-winning!"

"If only it were darker."

"Isn't it dark enough? There's no normal light all the way?"

"..."

The bottom line is full of gossip, but the central idea is that this movie is worth showing, and it must be shown. If it is not shown, it will be sorry for the audience.

Su Aijia took a look at Zhao Rui who was sitting upright, waiting for her sentence, and Chi Yu who didn't know whether it was calm or distracted, smiled from the bottom of her heart, and made a major decision.
