Chapter 700 Issuing Companies
The quality of "Infernal Affairs" is beyond doubt, but Yi Shuihan is not sure whether "Prison Storm" is good or bad.

But judging from the opponent's luxurious lineup and tens of millions more investment than "Infernal Affairs", "Prison Storm" is by no means an ordinary generation.

Yi Shuihan has never dared to underestimate the original movies in this world, just like the "Shocking Game" he starred in, even if it is not as good as "Infernal Affairs", the difference is not too far.

All he has to be prepared to go all out, otherwise he will lose everything if he is not careful.

After returning home, Yi Shuihan was meditating and recuperating, but he has been paying attention to and keeping in touch with the later work of "Infernal Affairs".

After chatting with Wang Jie about his recent plans, Yi Shuihan put down the light music and forced himself to sleep.

This can be regarded as the sequelae of playing the role of Chen Yongren, because this role is an undercover agent, and it is difficult to sleep in a state of tension and depression every day.

Yi Shuihan, who has not completely escaped the influence of this role, naturally also has this symptom.

However, because I am in the most relaxing home, this symptom has gradually eased.

The completion of "Infernal Affairs" did not cause any disturbance in the outside world, and many media people didn't even know that there was such a thing, but the completion of "Prison Storm" a week later caused quite a stir.

"The most anticipated action blockbuster at the end of the year: "Prison Storm" was filmed in Guishan yesterday! Director Liu Haoyu announced that all the samples have passed the review and will enter the editing and dubbing stage next Monday. We hope to see you at the end of the year!"

"Director Liu Haoyu's new work "Prison Storm" is coming, with a gathering of movie stars and brilliant stars!"

"Whether "Prison Storm" can become a big winner at the box office this year, we will wait and see at the end of the year.

All kinds of comments have once again set off a climax, and the movie "Prison Storm" has inevitably attracted the attention of the public.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that a week ago, a crew called Infernal Affairs announced that it was finished, but the other party's press conference was not held.

"I'm really willing to spend the money!" Yi Shuihan said with emotion. If there is no profit, it will not be early. If there is no profit, even the most famous director, those media will not work hard to promote this movie.

After communicating with Zheng Liaoyuan, the publicity of "Infernal Affairs" began to catch up gradually, but every step was slow, and after being overwhelmed at the beginning, the momentum could not be regained.

What's more, in terms of superficial strength, "Infernal Affairs" is also inferior to "Prison Storm".

And at this stage of waiting for the movie to be released, it is impossible for Yi Shuihan to be idle, because it is the investor's reason, and they still have to find a way to prepare for the release.

There is a specialization in art, and in terms of negotiation, Zheng Liaoyuan is definitely more professional than Yi Shuihan, as can be seen from the operation of several movies.

It is not enough to shoot a movie, it has to be screened, which requires the work of the distributor.The distributor makes copies, applies for a key, arranges the schedule, sends the copies to theaters, makes publicity, purchases advertisements, negotiates the share ratio, and signs contracts with theaters.

In addition, dozens of people have to be sent to movie theaters across the country to do activities, do publicity, fix advertising spots in movie theaters, keep an eye on the ostentation, monitor votes, and so on.

These tasks are all professional work, generally the production company does not do them, and the distributors do these tasks to earn money from the box office. In the end, when the film is sold out, the investors should share part of the due part with the distributors as agency fees.

The original studio's "Diary from the Past" charged 12% of the distribution fee.

Before obtaining distribution qualifications and building your own channels, it is inevitable to find other distribution companies.

Film production needs to share some profits, and film distribution needs to share some profits. This is the reason why Zheng Liaoyuan wants to set up a film and television company.

After setting up a film and television company, he was able to grasp all these profits in his hands.

"What do you think?" In the office, Zheng Liaoyuan handed Yi Shuihan a cup of hot tea and asked.

Yi Shuihan thought for a moment and said: "Our previous "Diary from the Past" was released by Huaying Company. They have their own independent theater chain. Although the 12% distribution fee is a bit high, we can still talk about it. .

China Film Xingmei, which was just integrated and established at the beginning of the year, has been very strong recently. Basically, it has cooperative relations with theaters in big cities. The theaters are laid along with the big shopping malls. It is also a good choice to follow the route of urban theaters.

Yongcheng Media... They are a group company integrating production and distribution. If there is no such thing, there is still the possibility of negotiation. Now, we don't have to think about it.

There is also the Kyoto New Film Federation, which is also a good choice. "

Zheng Liaoyuan thought for a while and said: "China Film Company is a good choice. It is a time-honored brand with countless records in the country, and we have cooperated before, although it is only a small business. China Film Star Meigang Established, the experience is probably not as good as Huaying.

And the Kyoto New Film Federation has a background in the financial circles, and I'm afraid it's the same when it comes to the review and sharing of new films.You also know that connections in this circle are more important than money...

However, the current situation of "Infernal Affairs" is very bad. Everyone in the circle knows that "Prison Storm" by Poseidon Group is against us. Judging from the previous confrontation, you don't need to guess. They want to be released on the same day as us. , but will definitely not choose to premiere in the same theater as us. Now no one is optimistic about us. Everyone is focusing on "Prison Storm". would think so! "

"This is really a problem!" Yi Shuihan frowned and said.

This makes it more difficult for them to find a distribution company. They either choose smaller theaters for release, or increase distribution costs to reduce their risks.

"However, everything is hard to say at the moment. I have dealt with people from Huaying Company first. Let's make an appointment to test it out!"

Yi Shuihan nodded, now he can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

This is also the reason why the studio's network channels are not strong, otherwise it would be easy to find out the background of those distribution companies.

Zheng Liaoyuan's work efficiency was extremely fast, and in the evening, a dinner party was held in a high-end restaurant.

"Mr. Zheng, long time no see!" A fat man with big ears and sly eyes came over with a smile on his face, shook hands with Zheng Liaoyuan, turned his head and smiled at Yi Shuihan, "This is Mr. Yi." Come on, young people are promising."

Since the other party is an executive of the distribution company, he is very familiar with Yi Shuihan, who arranges when and what schedules the movies will be drawn on.

"Let me introduce, this is the general manager of the marketing department of Huaying Media, Chen Guang." Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
