Accidentally became a great director

Chapter 25 024 Agreed
Wanda Pictures was established in 2009 and is backed by Wanda Group. Although it is still very weak, it is conceivable what kind of giant it will be in the future.

Last year they only made one feature film "Intimate Enemy", but this year they have four.But this amount is still too small for this behemoth, and they are still searching for suitable films in the market to distribute.

At this time, in a closed conference room, seven people were watching "Bloody Mary" intently.Lin Runze was a little nervous. Although he thought the movie was good, he only represented himself, not the market.

Zeng Li stretched out her hand to hold Lin Runze's under the table, knowing that he seemed to be waiting for the defendant to be sentenced at this moment, and whether it was good or bad was up to others.

103 minutes, it was really difficult. When the end sounded, Lin Runze took an inaudible breath, and the verdict came.

"How about it?"

Chen Si, vice president of the business department of Wanda Pictures, turned to look at his subordinates, but seeing the smile on his face, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind.

"That's right, Zhang Yuqi is the right choice for the heroine. Not only is her dress attractive, but her acting skills are also very good."

The moviegoer sitting at the end speaks first. He represents the general public. To evaluate a movie, we must evaluate it from the perspective of the general public.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to see Jung Soo-yeon from Girls' Generation, and the role is extremely suitable. This time, Xia Yuhe from our side can provide at least 500 million box office for this movie."

Upside down, the second viewer went on to add.

"Not only Jung Soo-yeon, but also Hwang Mi-young from Girls' Generation, Jung Soo-yeon's younger sister, and FX's Jung Soo-jung. Although there are few shots of these two, they also have Xia Yuhe as their fans. At least another 300 million box office must be added."

Zeng Li was not willing to be lonely and opened her mouth. Now is the time when all advantages are at stake, and any advantage she has has to be mentioned.

"Hehe, let's talk about this later."

Chen Si interrupted Zeng Li, turned to look at the third person, and said with a smile: "Didn't Director Ning prepare a horror movie recently? How about watching this horror movie?"

Director Ning, named Ning Jingwu, was born in 1966. He is a director, screenwriter, and producer in Mainland China. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Huaibei Normal University and the Directing Department of BJ Film Academy.Works include "My Great Wall and Your Sea", "Growth", "Drummer's Honor", "Polar Rainbow", "Gone With the Wind", "Rolling Gun" and last year's "In That Remote Mountain Village ".And this year, Wanda Films invited him to shoot the horror film "Elevator Cry".

"It's not so much a horror film as it is a drama, you can tell by watching the development of the protagonist... From a purely artistic point of view, this film is a work full of charm and shocking .The stunning pictures and track shots created through visual effects make the whole film memorable.Argento’s use of color, red is full of aesthetic meaning.Of course, in addition to Argento’s, the film is also full of Cronenberg's tone, the routines of early hospital horror films and bloody sensory stimulation and creepy makeup effects...

Are today's young people so powerful?I suspect that in two years I will be unemployed. "

Ning Jingwu looked at Lin Runze with admiration.

Lin Runze didn't expect the old man to support him so much, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"What about you, what do you think?"

Chen Si nodded, and looked at his number one subordinate, Wang Shuchun, who he trusted in his grasp of the market, but unfortunately, he was not well-versed in human relations.

"This movie is not bad, with the attraction of the heroine and members of Girls' Generation, coupled with the smooth camera, the box office should be... 4000 million, 4500 million."

Wang Qilan hesitated for a moment, but still gave a conservative figure. Of course, if the publicity is in place, it is possible to increase the box office by 500 million or 800 million.

Chen Si nodded, and finally looked at Zeng Li: "Miss Zeng, although the box office is not bad, it's not very good, so I have to take 10% of the distribution fee."

Film distribution companies usually share 5%~10% (total box office), big director + big star or big production.Then the distribution company’s commission is even less than 5%. If the small star + small actor is a small production, the distribution company’s commission is even >10%. The production cost of this "Bloody Mary" is 800 million, which is considered a small and medium production. Girls' Generation starred, so Chen Si only took 10%.
Zeng Li looked at Lin Runze. This ratio was within their acceptable range, but if they strived for a little more, the ratio might be even lower.

"Then it's 10%. I know you guys for the first time, but you don't know me. I just hope Mr. Chen can smoke less next time."

Lin Runze directly stood up and stretched out his hand. It was the first time to cooperate, and he was in a weak position. There was no need to worry too much. First, he proved his worth.

"Refreshing, although Director Lin is young, this decision makes me admire."

Chen Si was a little surprised. He originally wanted to give up 0.5 percentage points, but he didn't expect that he would no longer fight for this one.I didn't have the idea of ​​taking advantage of it in my heart, but I took another high look at this little director, and I was very confident in myself.

Standing up and shaking hands, he smiled more sincerely: "I've already ordered the food and drinks, so let's go over now and celebrate."

Originally, Lin Runze was responsible for the distribution fee, but since he was so straightforward, Chen Si made a favor and they paid for the distribution fee.Anyway, when the final payment is made, the distribution fee must be deducted first before being distributed to the film studio.

After discussion, "Bloody Mary" was released on August 8, and at the same time, almost all of Wanda Pictures' self-produced films were released in August.The first one, starring Tony Leung and Zhou Xun, and "The Listener" directed by Mak Siu-fai will be released on August 1th; the second one will be released on August 8th, starring Sun Honglei, Wang Luodan, and directed by Cheng Er. ; The third drama starring Yang Mi and Hawick Lau is also the first drama after they confirmed their relationship. "Hold Living in Love" directed by Zhang Qi will be released on August 8.

"Bloody Mary" can be scheduled until August. I don't know if Chen Si thinks it can't threaten these dramas or because he takes special care of Lin Runze.

……

Half a month later, when the dragon mark is in hand, it is natural to start publicity.

The previous photos of Zeng Li, Lin Yuner, and Lin Runze shopping together were found again. Lin Yuner and Xu Xian also called on fans to support when the time comes. Jung Soo-yeon and the others are naturally not responsible for the three movies. Girls’ Generation Others, FX and others also started to help spread the word.

Even South Korea has been affected, but some passers-by have seen Jessica Jessica in this movie, so they crossed this movie one after another. They know Jessica's acting skills, look at "Violent Romance"!
But unexpectedly, a silent video appeared on the Internet, showing Jung Soo-yeon dancing, changing from sweet to icy and terrifying.Not to mention the gradual change process, but to say that the last look made them exclaim, is this still the Jung Soo-yeon they knew?
