tearjerker director

Chapter 10 You can also sell beef with a sheep's head

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Yi and Li Zhenye to agree immediately.

Although the plan Mu Nanxing mentioned is theoretically feasible, both Li Zhenye and Li Yi still have concerns.

Li Yi's concern is, can he do what Mu Nanxing said?
After all, although the Oceanwide Cinema Group is very powerful, it is also a relatively powerful cinema group in the industry.

However, Mu Nanxing is only the general manager of the humble Oceanwide Film and Television under the Oceanwide Cinema Group.

All his plans are based on the premise that selling dog meat can be hyped up.

Although I still have more confidence in the movie, it is another matter whether the audience can buy it by selling dog meat.

Mu Nanxing also knew that it was impossible for Li Yi and the others to agree to hand over the movie to him for distribution, so after talking for a while, they also said goodbye and left.

"What do you think?" Li Zhenye looked at Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi rubbed his chin and said: "If what Mu Nanxing said can be realized, it would be a good strategy. But I have some doubts, how many audiences can the midnight show attract? If there are too few audiences, then at the beginning The gun will be a squib."

Li Zhenye nodded and said: "As an alternative, today's movie will be well received, maybe other companies are willing to release it?"

Deep down, Li Zhenye still hopes to find a more powerful publishing company to cooperate with.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Then wait!"

Although he didn't have any expectations, Li Yi didn't refute his father's intentions.

The same is true.

After watching "The Gift in Room No. [-]", Ou Mingming wrote a detailed review report very seriously as soon as he went back, and then handed it to the department supervisor.

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that her report was simply put on the shelf without being seen!

The other companies are similar, even if they are seen, they just smile and mutter, young people are still too naive.

In the past few days, Li Zhenye has been calling frequently to inquire about news, but the answers he got in the end are all, sorry!

That is to say, through some contacts, he found a few publishing companies with good strength. As a result, any one of them was politely rejected.

Similarly, in the past few days, Li Zhenye and Li Yi are also investigating Mu Nanxing and Fanhai Film and Television.

In the end, there was both good news and bad news. The good news was that Mu Nanxing was indeed the new general manager of Oceanwide Film and Television, and his father, Mu Xudong, was indeed a shareholder of Oceanwide Cinema Group.

And it holds a large share, it is the third largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinema Group!
But the bad news is that Fanhai Film and Television has a very small scale and used to specialize in the production and distribution of domestic horror films.

And the distribution channels are basically limited to theaters under the Oceanwide Cinema Group!
Therefore, the authenticity of what Mu Nanxing said was that no less than a thousand screens could be provided for the midnight session was doubtful.

"If it can be implemented in the contract, it's not impossible to talk about it!" Li Yi said after thinking about it.

"But I always feel that it's not very reliable." Li Zhenye still felt that Mu Nanxing and Oceanwide Film and Television were not very reliable.

"We have no other better choice now." Li Yi spread his hands and said.

At this moment, Li Yi's cell phone rang.

Li Yi glanced at the caller ID, and he really couldn't talk about people behind his back. If he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao would be there.

It was Mu Nanxing who called!

Capital City, Peninsula Coffee.

Li Yi, Li Zhenye, and Mu Nanxing made an appointment here to talk.

"Mr. Mu, to be honest, we have heard about Fanhai Film and Television. As far as I know, the scale of the previous films of Fanhai Film and Television is usually no more than [-] screens. Therefore, what you promised before is at least no less than one Thousands of screens, we want to know, how can Mr. Mu ensure that it can really be done?" Li Zhenye said.

Mu Nanxing was not angry but happy when he heard the words. After all, what Li Zhenye said meant that he really wanted to cooperate with Fanhai Film and Television.

"I can assure you of this, and it's written into the contract! Of course, I know that the two of you must have doubts and think that I'm talking big. In fact, if the two of you knew about our previous business, maybe you wouldn't have such a problem. I'm worried." Mu Nanxing said with a smile.

"In fact, the movies we released before are usually less than [-] screens, because the potential of the film itself is limited. If there are too many, not only will it not make money, but it will waste resources. Therefore, this does not mean that we can only get [-] yuan. A screen!" Mu Nanxing explained.

"Not only that, we can also borrow screens. If a film performs relatively well and the attendance rate is higher than usual, we will increase the screens. After all, for us and theater chains, attendance rate is the key! And if "The Gift of Room No. [-]" is released to us, I will try to borrow as many screens as possible, and try to make "The Gift of Room No. [-]" a dark horse within the first three days."

Li Yi and Li Zhenye looked at each other, and it had to be said that neither of them understood this aspect.

But since Mu Nanxing said that these can be included in the contract, it should be possible to do so.

In the end, after discussing with Li Zhenye, Li Yi and Li Zhenye decided to cooperate with Fanhai Film and Television.

Mu Nanxing of Fanhai Film and Television promised that the opening of the screen will not be less than [-] yuan. Of course, the time slots are all free time slots, as well as midnight shows.

As for Fanhai Film and Television, they will spend no less than [-] million publicity funds for early publicity.

As for whether to increase the publicity budget, it depends on whether the previous strategy is successful.

But then, the promotional poster that Mu Nanxing asked to design still caught Li Yi and Li Zhenye by surprise.

Because it is the way of publicity and distribution of domestic horror films, it is essential to sell dog meat.

But Li Yi didn't expect that Mu Nanxing was really a genius.

The content of the poster is that the prisoner in Room [-] is pushing a box, and a pair of children's eyes are exposed inside the box.

This is indeed the content of the movie, but the problem is that the whole poster is in a horror style.

Especially "The Gift of Room No. [-]", in the word "gift", it uses the style of dripping blood, which at first glance shows a strong domestic horror style.

People who don't know why, I'm afraid they will really mistakenly think that this is a horror movie.

In particular, the eyes exposed in the box have been made a little hairless special effect, it looks like a child was kidnapped and put in a box.

To be honest, Li Yi regretted handing over this movie to Oceanwide Film and Television for distribution.

Because this is so outrageous.

But that's not all!
Mu Nanxing, or Oceanwide Film and Television, also designed several posters!

One of them, after Li Yi watched it, almost thought he was shooting a thriller.

In that poster, a group of prisoners in Room [-].

Every prisoner showed a hideous face.

Then there are subtitles on the side.

What robbers!

Fraudster!
Arsonists!
and many more!

And the most outrageous thing is that Li Longjiu, the character played by Li Yi's father Li Zhenye, was also placed on it.

The marked words are also the biggest, gangster, murderer!

And in the middle is the box!

This poster gives people the impression that the child on the horse, the child in the box, was kidnapped by these vicious criminals.

One can imagine the fate!

Anyway, Li Yi is speechless, all he can say is that Fanhai Film and Television is really full of talents!

However, Mu Nanxing was very satisfied with the designed posters and promotional photos.

However, let alone, after such a change, these posters are really quite bluffing.

Moreover, if you haven't watched the name of the movie "The Gift of Room No. [-]", and the misleading poster, it will indeed make people think that it is a thriller!

As for the final effect, whether those deceived audiences will blow their hair is not a problem at all.

According to Mu Nanxing's words, I'm not afraid that these audiences will feel cheated and blow up, but I'm afraid they won't blow up!
Mu Nanxing said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that the role of Chen Yinger doesn't have any sexy and nude scenes in the play, otherwise, the publicity can be more eye-catching!"

Li Yi really wanted to punch Mu Nanxing in the face, but the fact is, what Mu Nanxing said really made sense.

Look at those domestic horror movies, it is really an opening picture, the content is all edited, and that picture must be a picture of a beautiful woman!
Then when Mu Nanxing showed the last poster, Li Yi was completely convinced.

The last poster is densely packed with the names of the actors, and there is even an exaggerated title on it: The most luxurious lineup in the history of domestic horror films!

Among them, the C position is naturally given to the somewhat famous Chen Yinger, and the other actors, let alone the most luxurious lineup of domestic horror films, are really worthy.

After all, whether it's Li Zhenye or Luo Xian, although these people say they don't have the fate to lead the role, they are all old actors, and they have filmed quite a few scenes.

In China, there are really not a few people who know them.

They are all old green leaves on Hong Kong Island. With so many old green leaves gathered together, it is really nothing to say that the lineup is luxurious!
Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s a whimsical idea, or it doesn’t matter if it’s a mess, the most important thing is to see how the final audience responds.

These posters designed by Mu Nanxing and Fanhai Film and Television are naturally hoping to attract more audiences to buy tickets to watch the movie.

As for the movie "The Gift of Room No. [-]", because it is released in this special way, it can be said that it is very important to "cheat" how many viewers can buy tickets in the first batch.

In July, the summer holiday season, this season, the domestic film market is booming.

Big productions are released every week!
In comparison, a movie like "The Gift of Room No. [-]" is insignificant.

At the same time, few people knew that such a movie was about to be released!

In fact, no matter what the schedule is, whether it is a popular schedule or an unpopular schedule, the midnight show is the same!

Of course, there is an advantage in July, the weather is relatively hot, so there are naturally more night owls.

This is barely good news.
