This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 20 Refusing to Accept Mediation
Early release!

These words shocked Jiang Yu and Li Guan.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but said, "Mr. Xu, are you serious?"

"If you release it early, your company will suffer a lot."

The main source of income for a movie is the box office. Others, such as the right to broadcast on the Internet, the right to record discs, and peripheral copyrights, are just icing on the cake.

At present, the box office of the movie "A Picture of Shanghe on Qingming" has exceeded [-] million, and if it continues to be released, there is a certain probability that the box office will reach [-] million.

Peak Film and Television can almost get tens of millions of box office revenue from it.

Released in advance, it is tantamount to voluntarily giving up the tens of millions of box office revenue

No one in their right mind would do that.

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, as long as you are willing to increase the purchase price of the online broadcasting rights, our company can release the show in advance."

Jiang Yu and Li Guan couldn't help but looked at each other.

Xu Nan's operation completely made them unable to understand.

However, if Xu Nan really does this, it will be very beneficial to the video platform.

The main reason for the video platform to acquire popular movies is to attract audience members to recharge the platform and become users of the platform.

The popularity of the movie "On the River on a Qingming Day" is high. If it can be put on the video platform now, it will definitely attract a large audience.

On the contrary, if it is played on the platform after it is released, although it can attract a wave of viewers, it will definitely not attract as many viewers as the online video platform now.

But this is the first time the managers of the two video platforms have met for such an operation.

Never before has a movie been willing to release early.

A small number of movies that were released in advance also encountered force majeure and had no choice.

Movies like Xu Nan's are still very popular, but in order to get more income from online broadcasting rights, they have never chosen to release them in advance.

Jiang Yu quickly went through the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, and then he said solemnly.

"There is no precedent for this kind of thing. I need to go back and discuss it with my superiors."

Li Guan also said: "I also need to go back and think about it."

Xu Nan smiled: "No problem, this kind of thing really needs to be considered,"

"However, I want to say that the higher the price you offer, the sooner I can release it. If it satisfies me, it will be no problem to release it tomorrow."

The expressions of the managers of the two video platforms changed, and then they left quickly.

They have no way to make decisions about such a big matter, they need to go back and report to their superiors.

Even the superiors may not necessarily be able to make the decision, and may have to hold a meeting to consider it.

After sending away the managers of the two video platforms, Liu Yang couldn't help it.

"Mr. Xu, why did you release the movie in advance? Is it just to increase the income from online broadcasting rights? Isn't this picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons?"

Xu Nan asked rhetorically, "How much do you think the total box office of our movie will reach?"

"The general box office rule of a movie is to multiply the box office in the first week by three. According to this formula, I think our company's movie box office can reach more than 2 million yuan."

Xu Nan laughed immediately: "How dare you think, to tell you the truth, according to my calculations, the box office limit of our company's movies is 5000 million, with a high probability of around 3000 million."

Liu Yang shook his head decisively: "Impossible, the box office of our movie cannot be so low."

Xu Nan didn't want his film's box office to be so low, but this was verified by countless facts.

The box office of a normal movie is the box office of the first week multiplied by three, and the box office of a fan movie is half or even more than half of the box office of the first week.

The box office of marketing movies accounted for 90.00% in the first three days.

What is a marketing movie is the kind that is hyped before it is released, but it is found to be a bad movie after it is released.

This kind of movie is a one-shot deal, and as many audiences as can be tricked into the movie can be tricked into the movie theater.

Unfortunately, "A Picture on the River on a Bright Day" is a marketing film, and apart from one novelty, there is nothing worth watching.

Xu Nan thinks it is a miracle that the current box office of a movie can reach more than 1 million.

It can only be said that the audience in this world is relatively tolerant, and this kind of movie can make money.

But the audience is willing to watch his movies because the movies are popular.

When the movie heat is over, no one will come to see it.

Therefore, Xu Nan wants to sell the movie at a good price while the popularity is still there.

If the heat dissipates and the underpants are exposed, then the movie will not be sold at a high price.

"Liu Yang, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The important thing is that the company is out of money now, and it will take at least half a year to wait for the movie box office to pay back."

"Release the film in advance and sell the rights to broadcast online, so we can make new movies and make more money."

Liu Yang sighed: "Okay, you are the boss."

He really wanted the movie to stay on.

Every time the movie box office of "A Picture on the River on a Qingming Day" increases, his resume becomes more dazzling.

It's a pity Mr. Xu didn't want to.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, the court notified us before, saying that we should go and accept mediation. If the mediation fails, we will start a trial." Liu Yang said suddenly.

"When?" Xu Nan asked.

"the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?"

Xu Nan was a little surprised.

According to the normal law, from prosecution to mediation to trial, it takes one or two months to get things done.

I didn't expect the case related to him to be dealt with so quickly.

But it doesn't matter, he has long been mentally prepared for this matter.

Anyway, he didn't plagiarize Zhang Yange's "A Picture of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival", so he wasn't afraid of a lawsuit.

Two days later, Xu Nan came to the court to accept mediation.

The producer of "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" sent a professional woman in her 30s with thin lips in professional attire.

She said solemnly: "According to estimates, Dingfeng Film and Television, the producer of the movie "On the River on a Qingming Day", caused us an economic loss of about [-] million yuan. Mental blow."

"To sum up, I propose 5000 million compensation to Dingfeng Film and Television, and at the same time seal up the movie. Director Xu Nan needs to publicly apologize on Weibo."

Xu Nan couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

5000 million in compensation, how dare you think about it.

His movies may not necessarily earn 5000 million, and he will pay you 5000 million.

I really regarded him as a novice who didn't understand the law, thinking that this could scare him.

The mediator said, "So, what about Summit Films?"

Xu Nan said in a deep voice, "I refuse to apologize, and I refuse to accept compensation."

The mediator said: "Sure."

"determine."

"Well, the mediation failed. You go back and prepare the materials and prepare for the trial. We will notify you when the time comes."
