Chapter 538: Luo Fan's suggestion
contacted a few people in a row, and everyone's statements were similar, anyway, they firmly did not target Chen Mubai and Mubai Entertainment.
Even if there are no companies that release movies in this schedule, their film schedule is given to the rest of the films, and for good reason.
["Buried Alive" is definitely not profitable, the lineup of xx movies and xxx movies is strong, and the momentum of publicity is huge, which is a harbinger of the fire, the two movies are divided into nearly sixty percent of the film schedule, and the rest of the movies are divided into forty percent, and the film schedule of "Buried Alive" is naturally gone. 】
Anyway, in a word, "Buried Alive" is a money-losing movie, so they will arrange it like this, which is the result of evaluation, not their wishes.
Sun Ping touched his nose, what the other party said was true, even the evaluation of "Buried Alive" by the Chinese cinema line was about the same, what else could he say?
"Mr. Sun, we try our best to have a clear conscience. ”
After Sun Ping finished the call, Fang Mocheng witnessed Sun Ping's contact process throughout the whole process, and also witnessed his expressionless face from the moment he was full of smiles.
Later, his tone became much more hollow, and he was helpless, but he didn't do it.
Sun Ping's complexion was obscure, knowing that the other party was doing Tai Chi, but he was helpless.
He is not only the CEO of Huaying, but also a part-time position in the Ministry of Culture, and he hopes that the film industry can flourish and emerge wonderful works to bring to everyone.
Chen Mubai is a very talented young man, and Sun Ping is willing to give him a chance, so he will call them to persuade them.
It's just a pity that the six are determined to curb "Buried Alive", and he can't change this ending.
If only one company treats Mubai Entertainment like this, maybe his words will have an effect, and it can make the other party open up the net, and the six major ones will be combined, and this power will be very strong.
In fact, for the Big Six, if it weren't for the potential of Mubai Entertainment to become the second extraordinary entertainment, they would not have treated it so toughly.
Even if there is a bit of a contradiction, Sun Ping has spoken in person, and they are willing to give him a face and give up this action.
It's just a pity that the two sides stand at different angles and can't compromise.
"They can do that, we can't. Sun Ping let out a breath and calmed down: "Let's schedule more films for "Buried Alive", and the theater chain will help him promote it more." ”
"Since Chen Mubai has been targeted by the team, let's help him and see if it has any effect. ”
"Okay, I'll do it. Fang Mocheng replied.
In fact, the two also know that the effect will definitely not be great, after all, the impact of one theater of Huaying is still much worse than that of the six major theaters.
Not to mention that there are some medium-sized entertainment companies and their united front, and the role played by Huaying is becoming more and more meager.
However, this is an attitude, it is better to have than nothing, try to get a little preferential treatment for "Buried Alive".
"The film schedule is deducted from the movies of Jiaxing and Xingchen to let them know that we are very dissatisfied. Sun Ping continued.
Jiaxing is the initiator and planner of this matter, Xingchen and Jiaxing both have movies released during this schedule, and it is the movie with the most momentum, the film schedule will not be low, and it is nothing to lower it.
Even if the box office of "Buried Alive" may not be high, this decision will lose a little benefit of Huaying, but Sun Ping doesn't care, he wants to let the other six know that he is very angry.
There is nothing that can be done about this matter, but it is also to let the six big ones see his attitude and beat them, so that they don't do this kind of thing in the future.
It means that if you still do this in the future, then I can naturally target your movie, and there are some things that can't be done too much.
Sun Ping mainly thinks about the future development and the development of the industry.
Chen Mubai himself is a rare talent in China, and coupled with policies, he is now a figure who is more concerned.
Maybe he can really bring Chinese culture to the world, at least in music, there is definitely this potential.
Therefore, the country is happy to see him develop, and hopes that more such capable and talented people will emerge, even if they can't help him, but they must not let people hinder his development.
"Good!"
Fang Mocheng knew that Sun Ping had a grudge against this matter, but it was normal, he hoped to see good works in the circle flourish, rather than suppressing them by means.
The angle of standing is different, and the angle of thinking about the problem is also different.
Although Chen Mubai was curbed by the Big Six, he could be regarded as getting the attention of Huaying, and he would have some preferential treatment in the future.
As long as Mubai Entertainment can withstand this catastrophe, at least in the circle, Mubai Entertainment's works will definitely get some privileges, which can be regarded as making up for and supporting him.
......
"Mr. Luo, it's me Chen Mubai. ”
After Chen Mubai left the conference room, he went straight back to his office and called Luo Fan, wanting to ask.
"Ah, Mubai. Luo Fan's hearty voice came: "Are you coming to Xiangjiang?"
Luo Fan was in Xiangjiang, and he had told Chen Mubai before that he could find him if he went to Xiangjiang, so he instinctively thought that Chen Mubai had arrived in Xiangjiang.
"No, I have one thing I want to ask Mr. Luo for help. Chen Mubai spoke.
"What's the matter?" Hearing that Chen Mubai had something to ask for, he put away his laughing voice.
"Just say it, I'll help you if I can!"
Mubai Entertainment is developing in the mainland, he is in Xiangjiang, it stands to reason that there is nothing to turn to him, right?
And Mubai Entertainment's recent development is very good, so it won't fall into any crisis......
Since Chen Mubai asked for help, the matter must be very important, and when it comes to getting down to business, his attitude should naturally be serious.
But this is an opportunity, no matter what the problem is, if you can help, you can help, and build a good relationship.
Luo Fan thinks that his vision of people is very accurate, and he is sure that Chen Mubai will rise, which is investing in advance.
"Mr. Luo, I'm in trouble, my movie is about to be released, but the film schedule is targeted, I want to go to the overseas ......market," Chen Mubai said his demands.
At the same time, he also told the other party about the film schedule that was targeted by the seven major congresses.
"So you want to bypass the domestic market and release it from overseas markets, and then use the film's reputation to counterattack the domestic market?" Luo Fan asked.
"Yes, instead of being locked in the domestic film schedule, it is better to give it a go to the overseas market, and there may be a turnaround. Chen Mubai affirmed.
If you can succeed, you can also harvest the box office in the overseas market, anyway, the difficulty of both is about the same, it is better to choose the one with the greatest benefits!
Chen Mubai was also ruthless, with the emotion of fighting against the water.
"You are very confident in the quality of the movie?" Luo Fan did not refuse, but asked in a solemn tone.
Chen Mubai's idea can be realized, and they do control the channels for overseas distribution of the film.
But if you want to counterattack the country, the quality of the movie must be high and cause some topics and heat, otherwise everyone will not buy it.
If the quality of the movie is not good, the reputation overseas will be poor, and there is basically no chance to counterattack the domestic market.
Moreover, except for Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island, the cultural differences in the rest of the regions are relatively large, and the film may not be liked by audiences from other countries, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.
This good reputation means that the quality of the movie is not at the passing level, but really good.
"Yes!" Chen Mubai said decisively.
"In fact, it is also difficult to go overseas, and the time span is also long, there is a lot of capital investment in the early stage, and the cycle of collecting funds is relatively long. Luo Fan explained to Chen Mubai first.
In the overseas film market, in fact, stars are also recognized, and some stars are also famous in other countries, and the theater chain will try their best to promote it, and the effect will be good.
Especially Chen Mubai is not famous in the overseas market, there are no big names in the movie, and it is not the first domestic release, which is also very difficult.
After many Chinese films are broadcast in China, the quality and box office are not bad, and there will be overseas colleges and universities to distribute them, because all aspects are guaranteed, so it saves a lot of things when it is publicized, and it has achievements and quality foundations, which can attract some audiences.
Directly starting overseas, this is definitely more difficult, this is still a situation where there is no guarantee, more money is spent, and the effect may not be there.
Luo Fan didn't want Chen Mubai to do this, so he explained to him.
If he could, Luo Fan hoped that Chen Mubai could debut in China, even if the box office was not good, but if the quality was okay, it would not be too late to release it overseas.
Chen Mubai understood what Luo Fan meant and fell silent.
In the final analysis, his experience in his previous life was also an actor, and he didn't have much involvement in the operation of capital, let alone transnational capital operation.
Luo Fan sensed that Chen Mubai's mood might be a little sluggish, and he continued to speak: "I just asked you if you have confidence in the movie, if you don't choose these two paths, there is another way." ”
Chen Mubai was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Please tell Mr. Luo." ”
Luo Fan said: "If you have confidence in the film, you can go abroad to participate in the film festival, if you can get a good evaluation or win some awards, it will be a great blessing for the film." ”
No matter what award it wins, it is an honor for the film, after all, there are so many entries and few awards.
Even if it is just a nomination, it can definitely improve the quality of the film, and the domestic media will report it, and the quality of the film will not be questioned at that time.
At that time, whether it is released in China or overseas, the momentum of this movie will be there, and the box office will generally not be too bad.
Even if it is a literary film that is no longer a blockbuster, with the blessing of awards (award nominations), it can sell more box office to some extent.
There's no way around it, how many movies can win awards?
In fact, it is also a very high difficulty, Luo Fan said it, and he also wanted Chen Mubai to choose to release it in China safely, after all, most of the award-winning movies are literary films or unique works, otherwise there is basically no drama.
Chen Mubai's movie should be the first film he directed, and if you want to win an award, it will be difficult!
Even if he has directed two TV series before and achieved success, it still doesn't work, movies are movies and TV is television, there is an essential difference.
The awards mentioned here refer to international A-category film festivals, which are authoritative awards, not pheasant awards, and the films that can win awards are extremely outstanding works, not ordinary works.
"I think it's better for you to release it in China, and then release it overseas, I can help you, it's a bit too difficult to win the award......" Luo Fan said tirelessly.
"I choose to fight once, go to the film festival to compete!" Chen Mubai said.
"Ah......h
Luo Fan was dumbfounded, he thought that Chen Mubai would die if he said the last way, but instead he chose the most difficult path?
