Actually I just want to act

Chapter 397 Strive to be selected for the list of the main competition unit
When Fang Jiming received the box office statistics for February 2th, it was already 14:2 pm on February 15th Yanjing time.

"Sunshine Media is really fierce!"

Fang Jiming couldn't help but feel that it was true that they used the signboard of a "Valentine's Day" movie.On this day, as long as it is a young couple, it is unavoidable to go to the cinema hand in hand.After all, this Western Valentine's Day is fragrant!Well, in order to get money out of consumers' pockets, Chinese businesses have also put a lot of effort into creating this festival.

No, even the attendance rate of "The Man From Earth" skyrocketed.

Because "Invisible War" has too many films, the attendance rate is not as good. This was not expected by many people beforehand.

Huang Licheng was also shocked. You know, the box office is still soaring after the seven-day holiday of the Spring Festival?This is not scientific!

Of course, although the driving effect of the festival is obvious, there is a visible slump the next day.

"Director Fang, you have to be mentally prepared, the next box office is likely to be cut in half!" Huang Licheng was afraid that Fang Jiming's mentality would be out of balance, so he quickly called Fang Jiming for a vaccination.

Fang Jiming also understands that now that the school is about to start, the winter vacation is over, the Spring Festival is over, the student party is back to school, young men and women have to work, and only the movie market at night is left, so the cut in half is fine. "Director Huang, I'm not an outsider." Fang Jiming said with a smile, "This has long been expected, but I think, even if it is reduced to one-third, so what? As long as the Berlin Film Festival announces that our film will be selected The final main competition unit will stimulate another wave of box office.”

That's right, Fang Jiming's idea was to be the last batch of films selected for the main competition unit.

After all, many films take time to shoot, so the final list will be selected from the more than 300 films in the festival.And "The Man Who Comes From Earth" has a very high chance of being shortlisted because of its unique shooting technique, excellent script, and fit with Chinese and Western history, which makes people feel that time and space are disordered.

Well, if such a good movie is missed, the Berlin Film Festival will lose its face.

After all, the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival will open soon! ! !

Therefore, in order to promote the development of the film market, the judges of the Berlin Film Festival will not violate their conscience and not give good films a shortlist.Besides, the shortlist is not dead, as long as the majority vote is passed.

Huang Licheng was taken aback: "Are you sure?"

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, but a distributor approached me and wanted to release this movie. But the asking price was too high, so I refused."

"Deutsche's publisher?" Huang Licheng's words were a little sour. He wanted to get involved in overseas distribution several times, but he couldn't reach it.After all, deep cultivation of overseas channels requires massive funds.And the Chinese values ​​conveyed by Chinese movies are something that crooked nuts don't want to watch.They want to watch kung fu movies and martial arts movies, but they are only in a niche market. The most powerful martial arts movies only cost US$1000 million overseas.More are tens of thousands of dollars at the box office, thanks to the fact that there are no pants left.

It can be said that overseas issuance is too risky.Different countries have different tastes.Only universal values ​​can sell well at the box office.However, it is too difficult to do this step.Exporting values ​​is the most difficult thing, not to mention that with the rise of Western culture, English has become the lingua franca of the world, and it is too difficult for Chinese culture to break through this shackle.

Only after China's national strength becomes stronger, the world will be interested in Chinese culture.

This is soft power.

Therefore, there is no extravagant hope that Wai Guoren can understand Chinese culture at all, and the road to exporting Chinese culture is too long.

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "So what about Deutsch? It's not the number one distributor of Europa."

Huang Licheng sighed, and said, "Anyway, the overseas copyright is in your hands, so you decide. By the way, are you going to announce the final shortlist tomorrow?"

"That's right." Fang Jiming was also looking forward to it, but he knew that "I'm lucky if I get it, but I'm dead if I lose it", so it's okay not to be selected.

After a few more pleasantries, everyone hung up the phone.

Huang Licheng sat in the chairman's office, not knowing what he was thinking.

Similarly, in Yanjing Sunshine Media headquarters, the atmosphere is also a bit dignified.

Don't look at the box office of 367 million on Valentine's Day yesterday, which has already surpassed its opponents by a lot.but! ! !On Valentine's Day last year, they got nearly 500 million box office, almost monopolizing the box office that day!No wonder they are in an awkward atmosphere. The highly anticipated Valentine's Day file has failed, and the next box office trend will definitely be even more sluggish.

Cao Guangfu, chairman of Sunshine Media, had a gloomy face before he realized that Guangming Media's arrangement was simply a magic pen of the Tathagata!

"Old Huang is still the same old Huang!"

Cao Guangfu looked at the executives in the conference room, and suddenly said with emotion, "Good means, really good means. With a low-cost movie, if it works, he makes money and I lose. If it doesn't work, he doesn't lose money either." It's thanks to him that he can figure out such a deal, and he even made a publicity call."

The executives of Sun Media were also embarrassed.

Yes, it's not that they are too incompetent, it's that their opponents are too cunning!Sun Media thinks that the Valentine's Day file is stable, but they don't know that they come up with a lot of tricks, first beat you through the Spring Festival file, and then compete with you in the same field.No, their box office has exceeded 2000 million, just to overwhelm you.Moreover, the family's box office curve is very healthy, which shows that you have spare energy!
"Let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

Cao Guangfu is also a little impatient. In his plan, the first shot in the spring must be fired. Otherwise, how can Sunshine Media challenge the position of the boss of Bright Media?
Li Kaicheng responded immediately: "We need to increase our publicity!"

"No, Mr. Li, our publicity is much better than last year!"

"That's right, 200 million yuan has been spent on publicity!"

"If this continues, we will need at least 3000 million at the box office to pay back. With the current curve, 500 million is barely enough!"

"Cao Dong, I think it's better to find someone to write a movie review and drive the audience to watch the movie..."

"What's the use of movie reviews? Director Cao, online advertisements are pretty cheap now, and it's easy to create online news. Why don't we let the hero and heroine have a gossip?"

"That's right, it's a good way to gossip. Let's make a fuss first, and then let's clarify..."

……

Cao Guangfu was a little disdainful of using this kind of low-handed method, but he also knew that it was an effective method.After all, if the movie is out of the market, it is also very detrimental to the hero and heroine.Especially Li Ruzhen, a rising star, if the first-line movie star dies like this, it may have a huge blow to her star career.
