Chapter 244: Make Money Together
In the side corners of the banquet hall, there are several comfortable sofas. Hu Yingshang crossed Erlang's legs, held half a glass of red wine, and sighed with emotion, "Amu, I regret it." ”
"I knew that I shouldn't have made a cameo, how good it would be to play the protagonist directly. ”
Hu Yingshang said seriously: "The protagonist of the movie, the sadness of middle-aged people, I have no choice but to act it." ”
"Brother Hu, you can't play this role. ”
Zhou Mu shook his head and smiled: "Your image is destined for your brokerage team, and you are denied to play such a leading role." ”
“......”
Hu Yingshang was silent, he knew that Zhou Mu was right.
The image of a superstar not only belongs to an individual, but is often linked to commercial endorsements and company brands, and his brokerage team, including the companies and enterprises he works with, will never allow him to damage his image and affect his reputation among the fan base.
In "Perfume", although he plays a murderer, in terms of setting, he is definitely not an ordinary murderer, but beyond the attributes of "human".
So the acting will be acted, and his team will not stop it.
But the protagonist of "Crazy Perfume" actually has no sense of the protagonist's existence.
On the contrary, there is also disease, there is a problem with the prostate.
When an ordinary actor plays this role, everyone will only think it is funny and will not think about it so much. But if Hu Yingshang dares to act, there will be countless people with intentions who will expand this matter infinitely.
This is called being burdened by fame.
Hu Yingshang sighed and shook his head gently, "No matter what, thank you for giving me another opportunity to make money." ”
Yes.
"Crazy Perfume", Hu Yingshang also invested.
Otherwise, how could theaters, large and small, cooperate so well, whether it is from the scheduling of films or follow-up marketing, they all cooperate very tacitly.
With the influence of Yang Hong and Xu Qinglime, this cannot be done.
Only a superstar like Hu Yingshang can let the theater sell him a face through his long-term relationship.
Why should he help?
Gift?
Yes.
Zhou Mu opened his mouth to ask for help, and Hu Yingshang was most likely willing to help.
The problem is that there is always a day when the favor runs out. In contrast, with the binding of interests, Hu Yingshang was more willing and took the initiative to help.
Moreover, this movie needs Hu Yingshang's intervention and help.
The next movie may not be needed.
Because through the big sales of two or three movies, from "Urban Legend", to "The Little Thing of First Love", and now "Crazy Perfume". Whether it is Qinghong culture or Zhou Mu itself, it has naturally established a certain connection with various theaters.
The accumulation is enough, and the theater party recognizes their abilities and admits that they are qualified to negotiate terms with themselves, and everyone can make money together.
That's how the so-called connections, relationships, and resources come about.
"Oh, yes. ”
Hu Yingshang took a sip of red wine, seemed to remember something, and immediately reminded: "Next month, our movie will start to be promoted, participate in some programs, and warm up...... Prepare to arrange a release on National Day, don't forget. ”
"What movie...... Oh, the god of war is back. Zhou Mu patted his forehead, "I've been dizzy lately......"
"It's good to be busy. ”
Hu Yingshang said with a smile: "In our industry, what we are most afraid of is idleness. That feeling of emptiness and loneliness, once you try it, you will never want to experience it again. ”
Zhou Mu blinked, understanding what he meant.
The nameless period, sitting on a cold bench, is terrible. What's even more terrifying is that it was once hot, and then unfortunately it was outdated, and it was even more chilling.
While the two were chatting, the others came to the banquet hall one after another.
Interestingly, two people were talking in a prominent place, and a bunch of people passed by here, but bypassed the place and walked over from the side.
Only Yu Nian, Xu Qinglime, and Yang Hong sat down here after they came in and participated in their conversation.
After chatting for a while, Yu Nian suddenly spoke: "Zhou Mu, if you have nothing to do recently, remember to report to the Directors Association and register as a member." ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Mu was a little surprised.
"It's very simple, just a few minutes, you can enter the information. ”
Yu Nian said casually: "After that, I will issue you a certificate, and from then on you will be a director certified by the organization." ”
"Uh......"
Zhou Mu nodded.
"In fact, there is not much benefit to joining the Directors Guild, on the contrary, you have to pay a lot of money every year. Yu Nian complained: "The only benefit is that there are several opportunities to eat and drink for free a few times a year." ”
"Director Yu, what you said ......" Hu Yingshang laughed, "When outsiders hear it, they probably want to blame you, and you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness." ”
Not everyone is eligible to join the Directors Guild, let alone the Film Directors Guild, which has a different weight in the industry.
In many activities and awards, some directors are invited to serve as judges in the Directors Guild. Ordinary directors naturally have the right to vote. If he is a prestigious director, he has enough say to decide the ownership of certain things.
Roughly divided, capital provides the platform, then the director is the creator. Whether channel is king or content is king, there has always been controversy.
But there is no doubt that a broad platform and excellent content providers have always been part of the superstructure, and the combination of the two can dominate the allocation of resources at will.
With such an influence, Yu Nian dares to say that it is not beneficial?
"The blessed ones are all big directors, and small directors like us are only honest and obedient. Yu Nian waved his hand and diverted the topic, "Are you all together?" Zhou Mu, can you go up and say a few words?"
"What is there to talk about. Zhou Mu was most afraid of this kind of trouble, and said directly: "Let's go, let's go and send red envelopes together." ”
The celebration banquet, this is a real celebration banquet, the crew participated, no reporters were arranged, and it was not promoted to promote the box office, so there were not so many ceremonies.
But as soon as it comes up, it is really uncommon to sprinkle red envelopes directly. First with the crew, then to a group of actors, everyone did not fall behind.
Of course, there must be a distinction between the more and the less red envelopes. Everyone knows that they will definitely not take it apart and watch it on the spot. It is that when the atmosphere is warm and the planning is staggered, there are more people who take turns to go to the bathroom......
After staying for half an hour, Hu Yingshang left first. He has a lot of things to do, and it is really face-saving to be able to find time to attend the celebration banquet.
After that, Xu Qinglime, Yang Hong, Zhou Mu, Yu Nian, one after another, also found some excuses and left the hotel.
As soon as they left, the rest of the people were completely relaxed, and all kinds of hustle and bustle were lively.
In fact, Zhou Mu and the others just left the banquet hall and did not leave the hotel. In the private space on the top floor, the transparent glass windows can overlook the lights of thousands of homes.
Bright stars, competing with the lights.
Where heaven and earth meet, there is a vast expanse and no boundary.
Yu Nian enjoyed the night view, and suddenly said, "I plan to start the project of the second part of Urban Legends next month. ”
A few other people were surprised, didn't they say that it would be good to shoot at the end of the year?
However, Yang Hong immediately agreed, "Okay, if you need anything, just ask." ”
"The main reason why I changed my mind was that I received the message. ”
Yu Nian turned around and explained, "In next year's Chinese New Year, Galaxy Giant Ship VII will be released. Not surprisingly, everyone has been under its shadow for at least half a year. ”
"That's why I thought that the second part was filmed in advance, and it could be arranged to be released on New Year's Day. ”
Yu Nian smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, we will definitely have to wait for the second half of next year to have a suitable schedule." The point is, everyone thinks so, then the second half of next year will definitely be very lively, and dozens of films will be released together......"
He wasn't afraid of competition, but he didn't think it was necessary. After all, the capacity of the market is limited, and a bunch of films are released at the same time, and everyone suffers, so why bother.
"Are you sure?"
Yang Hong hesitated a little, "Every year there are rumors that the Galaxy Giant Ship is going to be released, but Director Luo jumps the ticket every year......"
Yu Nian held back a smile, "This time, it must be true...... Because it was not Director Luo who told me the news, but the senior management of the special effects company. He told me two days ago that his special effects company had recently been idle and asked me to contact him if I needed it. ”
"Most of the staff of that special effects company have been in charge of the special effects production of the Galaxy Giant Ship, but now they are idle, which means that they have passed the acceptance of Director Luo. ”
Yu Nian sighed with emotion: "Seven years, it's still eight years, the giant ship seven has finally been completed, and there are a lot of people who have received rumors." Look at it, the recent film market will definitely change. ”
"If it's true......"
Yang Hong said solemnly: "Then it is indeed necessary to shoot Urban Legends II in advance." ”
She looked at Xu Qinglime and drew a flatbread, "You filmed the second part of the city, and you will be able to rest for at least half a year next year." ”
Xu Qingling didn't believe it at all.
In the first half of this year, she also did not make a movie. But where does the rest come from, it is all kinds of business activities and fashion shows.
"Really. ”
Yang Hong sighed lightly: "When the giant ship seven is released, who can rob them of their popularity?"
“......”
Xu Lime was silent.
This is a fact, after all, it is a galaxy giant, a world-class movie.
Ordinary movies, not to mention the kind of one-day trips, films drawn in a few days, under normal circumstances, are basically painted under a month. If you're lucky, you can apply for an extended key, which has about fifty or sixty days of playback.
But the Galaxy Giant Ship basically starts in three months.
From big cities to remote small places, the film scheduling rate is as high as more than 60%.
There's no way, it's mainly in the entertainment industry, big and small entertainment companies, I heard that the Galaxy Giant Ship is about to be released, which one doesn't hurry up to avoid the schedule, so as not to be crushed into slag by the giant ship. Only some low-cost literary films will be "head iron" and will be released on the same schedule.
Jujian is a big meat and hard dish, a small-cost literary film, just a seasoning.
A big meat and hard dish, you must be tired of eating it every day.
So a little seasoning is needed.
For literary films, a little residue left by the Galaxy Giant Ship is enough for them to eat. The problem is that for other commercial films with pursuits, they also want to eat meat, but they can't do the galactic giantship, so they can only avoid its edge.
"...... next year"
Yang Hong sighed, "It's lively!"
