Chapter 42 Zhou Gongzi (2/4)
"We are doing distribution to help these films maximize the market, rather than hurting each other. There is no problem with the two movies themselves. As bosses, publishers, and producers, we threw the two movies into the same trenches and pinched them. It is not good. The cinema has no choice, and the audience has no choice. The media is speculating and the water army is scolding, which is a great harm to the film industry."
"From the perspective of hindsight, is there a possibility that both films can perform better box office performance than they are now?"
"The Film Bureau has coordinated and hopes that "Kung Fu King" will be launched in September, "Painted Skin" will be promoted to No. 2, and the two blockbusters will be staggered for a month. If this is the case, the box office of both films will be much higher! If they don't do it, they have to compete with us for the National Day holiday! "Painted Skin" had already stated that it was scheduled for September 28 last year, and the Film Bureau has agreed! Why did you "Kung Fu King" let me give up my territory?"
"Can you understand this way? From the perspective of distribution, do you think "King Fu" has made a big mistake?"
"Of course, we make money by being kind. Tang Ningyu told Huang Zhongjun through China Film and China Distribution Company that the two films should be staggered and he would not do it. He even called various theaters and asked us to stop our films!"
"Dongyang Media said that he seeks benefits for producers and wants to increase ticket prices and share accounts, while some peers are taking advantage of the situation and propose "you raise and I lower". What do you think?"
"I don't agree, it's all his own benefit. Dongyang Media releases at most two or three movies a year, which is far from the market and is quite one-sided to see the problem. The film industry is a community of interests. It turns out that the proportion of movie distribution accounts from 32% to the last 43% is step by step. It will take a long process to finally reach 50% and 50% of the accounts. The proportion of accounts accounted for by producers is the lowest in the world. However, our cinema foundation is too weak and the number of screens is still too small. It will take several years for the development and construction of cinemas to be developed and built. To increase the proportion of accounts too early will affect the speed of cinema construction and development."
"Why do you think studios should make more money for theaters?"
"China has less than 10,000 screens, the United States has 40,000 screens, and many prefecture-level cities and counties in China do not have cinemas. Chinese real estate developers should be encouraged to build cinemas, so that China can achieve 30,000 screens, and then feed back to the upstream production industry. Many cinemas originally planned to be recycled in five years, but now it has become 8 years. The profit period and the recovery period are extended, which actually dispels the enthusiasm for cinema construction."
"I heard you've been in North America for two months?"
"Yes, I've made a fuss about it..."
...
On the 14th, the capital.
In the lobby of a hotel, Yuehua is holding a celebration banquet for "Painted Skin".
In addition to the company staff, Mr. Zhou is also here...
How to say it, Mr. Zhou is still hanging the flag of Dongyang Media, and always feels a bit like an enemy traitor who invades our army!
"352 million, we have set a new record for mainland movies..."
The host was talking nonsense on stage, and the people in the audience were either gathered together in groups of three or bragging, or staring at the buffet...
"…Don't drink brandy, that thing is too high to avoid being crazy!"
Zhang Junsheng stared at Zhao Liying, and when he saw her holding brandy, he quickly reminded him...
"...It's okay, I'll try it...ah, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhao Liying turned around and saw Zhang Junsheng, she was so scared that the glass on her hand almost fell off...
“…Is I that scary?”
He quickly took the cup and complained.
“…No, I didn’t expect it was you…”
Tablet explain quickly.
"…How are you doing recently? I heard from Wu Gang that your lines have made great progress!"
Wu Gang is a teacher in the People's Art Theater training class and occasionally goes to classes.
"The Sound of the Wind", he was asked to play the guest role of Liu Ye once in a while, and the two of them would occasionally have a phone call. Of course, Wu Gang was concerned about when the theater would start in the theme park...
"It's okay, I've understood a lot of things anyway."
"What scene are you doing?"
""Arrogance in the World"..."
""Arrogance"? Oh, it's a TV movie created by the Movie Channel and us!"
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Junsheng remembered "The World of the World"...
"Mr. Zhang, when will I be able to play the leading role?"
"…What's the hurry? You've only been in the industry for two years."
After looking at Pingpanjun, Zhang Junsheng reminded him: "There is an online novel called "Shanshan Comes to Eat". You can take a look. It may be launched next year!"
"…Really? Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
Zhao Liying is not a fool, she instantly understood what Zhang Junsheng said...
"Come on, you are our number one sister!"
“…I’m not the number one sister…”
Zhao Liying muttered, and was about to say something, Zhang Junsheng waved his hand at her and left...
"Liying."
"Sister Li."
"Why...you eat so much?"
"…I haven't eaten for a long time, the agent said that I can eat whatever I want today!"
Zhang Li looked at the fat face of Pingpanjun speechlessly, and asked: "What did Mr. Zhang tell you just now?"
"…I didn't say anything, just told me to work hard."
Zhao Liying deliberately pretended to be stupid...
...
Salon area in the hall.
Zhang Junsheng, Tang Ningyu, Wang Shumei and Wen Ziren...
Wen Ziren specially followed Zhang Junsheng to China to experience the atmosphere of the headquarters...
It happened to be brought in by Zhang Junsheng and became a lobbyist together.
Mr. Zhou was sitting opposite him!
Of course, the most important thing is to convince Mr. Zhou’s agent Yu Guangzhao…
A fool thing!
Listen to what he said: "Zhou Xun must be the number one sister, this must be written in the contract!"
"We must be a weekly news every year..."
No. 1 sister, you sister, we don’t have a brokerage department!
Yu Guangzhao is a traitor who is so crazy that he is everywhere. Especially when "Painted Skin 2" was released, he issued a press release with a bold statement, stepping on the military flag, and stepping on the big Mi Mi.
The studio was even more unrestrained. The film critic posted a Weibo post saying that there were three unnecessary things in this drama: Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng, 3D…
As a result, the studio's official Weibo account actually changed!
Brother, although we all know that the 3D conversion in the late stage of "Painted Skin 2" is to make money, but if you say that, do you want to rebel?
With this kind of IQ, are you still doing operations?
It's simply.
Brother Xun is an idiot who never goes online and never cares about ordinary things. The little popularity accumulated in the early stage has been consumed again and again.
If her connections were not out of the ordinary, some directors valued her, and the rise of a bunch of traffic girls blocked the edge...
Tsk tsk…
"Stop!"
Zhang Junsheng couldn't hold it in his hands anymore: "Brother Xun, I'll ask, now you're taking roles, basically you're using your own connections, right?"
"…right!"
"Then what's the use of us helping you arrange the show?"
"This is different, we're talking about it..."
Zhang Junsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him: "We will help you prepare your personal studio according to the highest specifications, operate completely independently, the company invests a certain proportion of funds and then collects profits."
Chapter completed!
