This director only makes bad movies
Chapter 5 This movie is too bad
In the small screening room of a cinema, Luo Xiao, who had just watched the movie, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This movie is too bad.
"How about Uncle Luo, this movie is pretty good."
Xu Nan, who watched the movie with Luo Xiao, smiled and was very satisfied with the quality of the movie he made.
This Luo Xiao is good friends with his father and currently runs a small cinema chain with dozens of cinemas.
When Xu Nan's father spent 30 million to make a movie, he was the first person he looked for.
Facing Xu Nan's expectant gaze, Luo Xiao smiled bitterly.
"Xiao Nan, your dad and I are old friends. To be honest, your movie is very rubbish, even rubbish than your dad's original movie. After it is released, you will definitely be scolded."
Xu Nan smiled slightly and didn't care about Luo Xiao's words.
Doesn't he know this is a bad movie?
I already knew that, okay?
But who says bad movies can’t make money.
"Uncle Luo, I know the movie is not very good, but have you seen the name of our movie?"
Speaking of the name of the movie, the corners of Luo Xiao's mouth twitched again.
"I see, Xiaonan, what do you think? The title of this movie is almost exactly the same as "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" directed by Zhang Yange. You are really not afraid of being scolded. Even if you are not afraid of being scolded, aren't you afraid of director Zhang Yange? Sue you?"
Newborn calves are really not afraid of tigers. I have seen copycat movies, but never such a copycat one. The name of the movie "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is only one word different from Zhang Yange's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?
You are so brave.
Speaking of this, the smile on Xu Nan's face became particularly bright.
"Uncle Luo, don't scare me. I have read the relevant laws before coming here. The law has never said that similar names are plagiarism. According to the law, only when the content similarity reaches 30% can it be considered plagiarism. .”
"The content in "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" is all my original work, and it is definitely not plagiarism. Even if Zhang Yange sues me, the final result will be a loss."
With that said, Xu Nan took out his mobile phone and read the relevant legal terms to Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao blinked.
It seems that it really does not constitute plagiarism.
This movie seems to be just a side shot.
Even if people in the industry know that it does not violate the law, they will not do it because they want to lose face.
"But." Luo Xiao still hesitated.
If it were an ordinary movie, it would be released based on his friendship with Xu Nan's father, but this movie is really...
That's too much.
It's such a blatant attempt to cheat. If it were released, people would definitely scold it.
"Uncle Luo, I won't make it difficult for you. I can give you 60% of the movie's box office share." Xu Nan smiled and took out his trump card.
"Are you sure?" Luo Xiao perked up.
As mentioned before, this parallel world is different from the previous life. Theaters are in a weak position compared to content producers.
In the previous life, theaters and theater chains could get about 57% of the box office of a movie. Sometimes, in order to get a higher schedule, the movie would even give profits to the theater lines, so that they could get a higher profit. Box office share.
But in this world, the situation is reversed. Theaters have become the weak side, while film producers have become the strong side.
Theaters and theater chains can only get 50% of the box office of a movie. Sometimes, in order to request popular movies to be released in their theaters, theater chains in turn have to make profits to the film producers.
Anyway, in order for Luo Xiao's theater chain to allow "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" directed by Zhang Yange to be released in their theaters, they gave away a 2% profit share of the box office. If the box office exceeds 300 million, they will also give a 2% profit share.
Xu Nan is willing to give them 60%. This comes and goes, but it is 12% or even 14% of the box office share.
Money is a bastard, not making money is a fool.
Luo Xiao was still hesitating at first, but when he heard about the 60% box office share, he couldn't sit still.
"Xiaonan, are you sure? If it's the box office share, you'll be at a huge disadvantage. After all, you worked so hard to produce this movie."
"Sure, we can sign the contract." Xu Nan smiled.
Of course he knew that he would suffer a loss by doing so, but if he didn't suffer a loss, how could theaters release his movie?
Moreover, even if the theaters are given a higher box office share, the box office share he gets is no less than that of ordinary movies, because he saves the cost of distribution.
A movie goes from preparation to production to release, with a distribution process in between.
If the producer of a movie is compared to a factory, then the distributor is the distributor in various places. The distributor of the movie is responsible for publicity, contacting theaters, and attracting more audiences to watch the movie.
But what Xu Nan produces is a copycat movie. They don't need publicity because someone has already promoted it for them. What Xu Nan has to do is to show the movie before others and deceive the audience that it is a real film.
Although Luo Xiao knew that this was a copycat movie, he couldn't help but signed a contract with Xu Nan because of the high profit share ahead of him.
To make money.
After getting rid of his old friend, Xu Nan hurriedly went to find other theater directors.
This was originally the responsibility of the film distribution company, but currently he was the only one to do it, because it was difficult for Xu Nan to convince the distribution company to invest resources in distributing this bad film, so he simply eliminated the distribution company and contacted the theaters alone.
After seeing Xu Nan's movie, these theaters initially rejected it.
This is obviously a copycat movie, and the quality is so bad that only a fool would release it.
But after Xu Nan said that he could give 60% of the box office share, these theaters agreed.
Although Zhang Yange's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is famous, they can only get less than 50% of the box office share.
Although Xu Nan's "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" is a copycat movie, they were able to get 60% of the box office share.
Which movie should be released, I know how to choose it with my eyes closed.
Anyway, they didn't make this movie, so it's not their turn to get scolded, but most of the money earned belongs to them.
Xu Nan traveled all over the country in a few days to win over 3,000 theaters to show his movie. Although many theaters rejected him, Xu Nan didn't mind at all.
Although it is not as big as the screening scale of Zhang Yange's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in more than 7,000 theaters, 3,000 theaters are enough to spread "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
If it weren't for the lack of time and energy, Xu Nan could have his movies shown in more theaters.
And while he was busy, the time soon came for the release of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
