My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 90 Spending Money Is Physical Work
A gamble quickly aroused heated discussions on the entire network. Before the two parties' films were even approved, the discussions among netizens on the entire network were already in full swing.

From a publicity point of view, even if the gamble caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet, spending [-] million yuan may not have such a good effect.

Netizens are very curious, what kind of movies will these two outstanding young directors shoot to win this bet?
After Song Qi responded to the news of agreeing to the bet, he disappeared and never showed up to speak out again.

Seeing that the heat was about to pass, Eternal Pictures suddenly struck while the iron was hot and announced the approval of a new movie project.

The announced news revealed the name of the new movie, called "Blood Bat", and briefly introduced that the story is based on the legend of the ancient Inca country, and has been adapted to a certain extent.

Director Yang Lin revealed in the news that in order to ensure the authenticity and sense of substitution of the film, the crew will shoot the whole process in Inca. It is estimated that the filming will take three to six months.

Moreover, the crew will cooperate with hundreds of domestic post-production studios this time and invest 3.5 million in post-production to ensure that the film can have the most powerful post-production special effects.

If all goes well, the movie may be able to meet the audience during the Spring Festival next year.

After seeing the news, the gradually quiet emotions of netizens were provoked again, and they began to analyze the content of the news word by word.

Soon, some netizens sent out their own analysis.

Judging from the name of the movie "Blood Bat", the story should be based on the legend about vampire bats in the ancient Inca country.

The ancient Inca country is the predecessor of the Inca Republic, located in the southern part of the Freedom Federation, each occupying a continent.

The Inca has the world's largest tropical rainforest, the largest river, and the largest plain. It also breeds the world's richest species, including bats.

There are bats all over the world, but only the unique vampire bats live in the Inca.

It was a small, ugly bat that lived only at night by sucking blood.

They often land on the ground near hosts such as cows, horses, and deer, and then climb up their shoulders or necks when the host passes by, biting their skin and licking the blood that flows out.

Their fangs and claws allow them to cling firmly to the host, no matter how the host jumps or runs wildly, they cannot expel them.

After they satiated and left, the host often died helplessly due to excessive blood loss due to strenuous exercise.

Considering the conditions of this gamble, this "Blood Bat" should tell the story of how some huge vampire bats can eat people.

This analysis is well-founded, and netizens have discussed this topic one after another.

Many supporters of Yang Lin began to enthusiastically speculate on the plot design, how to use bats to scare people.

And Yang Lin also interacted with netizens on social media, always maintaining the popularity of the movie topic.

Seeing the heated conversation on the opposite side, Song Qi's supporters couldn't sit still, and they all left messages under Song Qi's social media, wanting Song Qi to disclose some information about the movie so that they could enjoy themselves.

But Song Qi always ignored it.

In fact, after seeing Eternal Films reveal the movie information, Song Qi knew that the opponent had already lost half of the battle.

Different types of movies require different marketing methods.

Sometimes, if the publicity method is not used well, it will often not bring good results, and sometimes it will be counterproductive.

Just like Eternal Pictures' disclosure of movie information this time is a counterproductive approach.

Song Qi could understand that Eternal Pictures didn't want to miss this great opportunity, and wanted to maintain the popularity as much as possible, gather popularity for the movie, and keep it topical.

If it's other types of movies, like sci-fi movies, or fantasy movies, it's perfectly fine to market in this way.

But horror movies are different. Horror movies want a sense of atmosphere. If they are destroyed in advance, it will be a failure.

The core of fear comes from the unknown, just like being in a dark room where you can’t see your fingers. People often feel fear because they don’t know what is around them and whether they are in danger.

Even if there is only one person in the room, there is no danger, but under the unknown pressure, they may be frightened to collapse.

The biggest fear is to scare yourself.

But if a spark suddenly lights up in the room, even if it only lights up for a second, allowing people in the room to see the general situation in the room with peripheral vision, the fear will dissipate a lot.

Because people have certain known information.

Song Qi was well aware of this, so he would not reveal any information before the promotion of the movie started.

The turmoil caused by the gambling has lasted for nearly a month. Under the operation of Eternal Pictures, more than half of the heat has been attracted and transformed into very eye-catching statistics.

Because Song Qi kept silent all the time, he lost a lot of fans, and interviews were pitifully few.

But he doesn't care about these, he only cares about the substantial gains.

In this incident, his biggest substantial gain was getting a loan.

When the topic was the hottest, Lu Yuxiang called him back, and the head office gave special approval, agreeing that Song Qi would use 30% of the shares of Miracle Film and Television as collateral to borrow 20 billion from Miracle Film and Television, which would be repaid within three years, with an annual interest rate of 4%. That is 2.4 million in interest.

Bank loans are definitely subject to interest. The annual interest rate is 4%, which is already lower than the benchmark interest rate, which is not bad.

Song Qi agreed to the conditions, and after signing the contract with the branch, the loans were transferred to Miracle Company's account one after another.

With the funds in place, Song Qi began to concentrate on promoting the construction of Miracle Cinemas.

From mid-April to early June, in less than two months, Song Qi spent [-] million to buy shares in a large number of theater chains.

And Song Qi knew for the first time that spending money was also a physical effort.

Two billion, even if you spend 100 million a day, you will have to spend five and a half years without interruption.

And he spent it all in just over a month.

If the money is not spent, it is just a number. After spending the [-] million yuan, Miracle has successfully ranked among the top [-] in the theater industry based on the size of the shares in its hands.

Song Qi planned to use all the remaining money to invest in the construction of theaters.

However, this work cannot be rushed. Site selection, contract negotiation, equipment purchase, construction and decoration, each link takes time and labor to negotiate, and it cannot be settled by just investing money.

Therefore, Song Qi handed over the matter to Xiao Ran.

After finishing the matter of spending money, Song Qi finally had some free time.

At this moment, he suddenly received a call from Teacher Tang.

Teacher Tang's full name is Tang Xiaoli. She is Song Qi's class teacher at the film academy and the director of the director department of the film academy.

She called Song Qi because she wanted to invite Song Qi to come back to school to watch the graduation drama of the college's juniors and younger sisters this year.

The so-called graduation drama has always been a tradition of the film academy, and it is also the most important assessment for each class of students.

It is an important "milestone" node for the students of the directing department and acting department to draw a successful conclusion to their college career. It is also the last time before entering the society, they will join hands with the teachers and classmates of the school to dedicate classics and show what they have learned.

Every year for the graduation drama, in addition to the leaders of the various troupes, the school will also invite some alumni to come back to watch, most of them are outstanding seniors and seniors who have made achievements in the industry.

The year Song Qi graduated, the school invited the well-known actor Zheng Yu back to the school, which caused quite a stir.

And this year, Song Qi also received this call.

This was an approval from the school, of course Song Qi would not refuse, and agreed immediately.

This year's graduation show is scheduled for June NO.20. As an outstanding senior, I will go back to school and put on a cup... To pass on experience, of course, you can't be too casual, at least you have to buy two sets of clothes.

However, Song Qi really didn't have much research on clothing brands in this world.

But he has a consultant, and Anqin's clothes are always good, so it must be right to ask her to help choose a few sets.
