Chapter 453 Internal Screening

This is a small projection room in Yi Shuihan's studio, which is specially used for reviewing and watching films.

The usually empty room was full of people at this time, and everyone was looking intently at the big screen.

It was the internal preview of the movie "Diary from the Past" that was going on at this time.

One is to let Yi Shuihan and others look at the results of this film, and the other is to see if there are any inappropriate parts that need to be revised.

On the screen, the protagonist Zhao Jiewen played by Lai Dingrong opened the diary with a heavy and sad expression.

The pen he was holding was trembling, and he paused for a moment, and wrote in his diary: "I saw you today, you are full of energy at the age of 20, and you don't look like you were sick at all, we talked a lot... ..."

As he wrote, he fought back his sadness and tears.

On that day three years ago, the girl was sitting on the bench, looking at the words blurred by tears that were automatically displayed on the diary, and the tears ran across her cheeks silently...

At this time, Yi Shuihan and the others who were watching the movie felt a faint sadness in their hearts, a little heavy and a little moved.

Lai Dingrong, who plays the leading role, and Dai Xiaomu, who plays the heroine, both have ordinary faces, but it is this ordinaryness that gives them a deeper sense of substitution.

At the end of the movie, the protagonist Zhao Jiewen sits on a bench in the hospital with a calm face, but his eyes unconsciously reveal a look of reminiscence.

The film ends here, but Yi Shuihan and the others are still melancholy.

The picture of this movie is mild, with warmer colors, and the soundtrack is also soothing and pleasant, which complements the plot in the movie.

Although Lai Dingrong and Dai Xiaomu are not well-known, their acting skills are very good, and they play the leading roles just right.

It is both infectious and not too exaggerated, and it is told like a story, which makes people addicted unconsciously.

It can be said that the effect of this movie has met Yi Shuihan's expectations.

"How is it, Ahan?" Director Xu Minghui stepped forward and asked eagerly. He had worked hard for this movie for countless days and nights, so he naturally hoped to be recognized by Yi Shuihan and others.

Their opinions are largely related to the promotion and release of the film.

Although he can get his own salary whether the movie is a big hit in the future, who doesn't want his work to have better results and be seen by more people.

What's more, if this movie has a success, his worth will rise accordingly in the future.

"The filming is very good, impeccable, we will arrange the release of this movie as soon as possible, thank you, Director Xu!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile.

Xu Minghui breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yi Shuihan was just an actor, he was an investor at this time, and if he could get his approval, this film would also be valued.

Zheng Liaoyuan and Xu Minghui had a chat, discussing the promotion of the follow-up film.

The two protagonists, Lai Dingrong and Dai Xiaomu, approached Yi Shuihan to talk.

Although Yi Shuihan is not considered a big name right now, everyone can see his future prospects.

There's no harm in getting acquainted.

Yi Shuihan felt a little emotional when he saw the two deliberately making friends.

Before he knew it, he had established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry...

After the preview, Zheng Liaoyuan stepped up his pace to negotiate with major distributors.

Although Yi Shuihan Studio is well-known in the field of TV dramas, it has no right to speak in the field of movies.

In front of those film and television groups, the studio is not even qualified to bargain.

In front of those giants, Zheng Liaoyuan received a lot of cold reception, doubts, and disdain.

Thinking about it, there are too few literary and artistic films like this with a small investment and a small audience that can achieve results.

It is very likely that this movie will be removed from the shelves if the ratings are poor for one day.

With this skill, they might as well spend more time on those commercial blockbusters.

But Zheng Liaoyuan was not discouraged at all. The situation was such that he had to swallow his anger, but one day he would make those people beg him instead.

Of course, the job of finding a publisher is not impossible.

Yi Shuihan's studio has a good reputation in the industry, and several distributors have watched this film with great interest.

Buying managers and film reviewers are undoubtedly sharp-eyed, and they can tell whether a film is good or bad at a glance.

This is undoubtedly a high-quality movie, both the plot and the characters are very brilliant, especially the novel setting, which is even more fascinating.

But the type and style of the film made them hesitate. This is undoubtedly a niche literary film with limited commercial value.

There was also a distributor who proposed to invest 300 million to acquire the film, but was rejected by Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan.

After difficult negotiations and negotiations, this "Diary from the Past" was finally released by Huaying Group, charging 12% of the box office distribution fee, and 3% of the screening rate in theaters in [-] first-tier cities.

And the film screening time is arranged in the morning or after ten o'clock in the evening.

The 3% screening rate is not low. Many movies that are about to be removed from the shelves have more than this screening rate, and the most intensive viewing period is from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., and after [-]:[-] p.m.

This condition is of course very bad, but at this moment Zheng Liaoyuan has no room to bargain.

"3%..." Yi Shuihan said after pondering for a moment, "This rate is quite appropriate..."

"Yes, as long as the follow-up attendance rate is high, we still have a chance," Zheng Liaoyuan said firmly: "It's still the same sentence, we have to be steady."

In fact, the higher the screening rate, the better, because if there are too many screenings at the beginning of the release and the average attendance rate is insufficient, the direct consequence is that the confidence of the theater manager will decrease, and the number of screenings on the second day will be reduced.

And if the attendance rate of the film is quite high when the number of shows is guaranteed, making it hard to find a ticket, the theater manager will increase the number of screenings.

One increase and one decrease, it seems ordinary, but there is a big difference, because reducing the number of screenings means that the popularity of the film is going down, and it often cannot stop and plummets.

The increase in the number of screenings is that the sesame is blooming steadily, and the difficulty of getting a ticket often gives people the illusion that "this movie is too good", and everyone tends to swarm up to snatch it.

Just like the movie "Diary from the Past", if it is given a screening rate of more than [-]%, Yi Shuihan can even imagine how dismal the attendance rate is...

That's why Yi Shuihan said that a 3% screening rate is appropriate, and the final result depends on the box office.

"When will it be released?" Yi Shuihan thought of this question.

"It's the 18th of this month!" Zheng Liaoyuan blurted out, he already knew all this by heart.

"Let's wait and see..."
