Chapter 502: Happy New Year!
"I see, I think it's possible!"
"It's interesting. ”
"But it's quite difficult to make the leap from the TV industry to the film industry. Lu Fang said.
He has been an agent at Xingcheng Entertainment for several years, and he has also brought stars before.
There is a half-flow of fresh meat, he has starred in TV series, and one of the characters is very popular, which made him popular for a while.
Later, the company gave him a good resource, and he went to play a supporting role in a movie of a famous director, and he went.
The one who was scolded on the set was called miserable, obviously just a supporting role with not too many scenes, but he was still scolded by the director very fiercely when he acted, because he always used the standards of TV to act in movies, and he couldn't pass the test at all.
Later, after filming for a long time, I barely passed the test.
He really saw with his own eyes that there is a big difference between TV and movies, the director is like this, and the actors are the same!
"I believe him, before he said that when he filmed "Dick Silk Man", everyone was worried, and then the same was true when he filmed "Struggle". Li Feng said: "Now I will believe him, he will not do things that he is not sure of!"
Li Feng raised his eyebrows at Chen Mubai, expressing absolute belief in him: "You can always surprise us!"
"It seems that there has never been a movie with such a person, this gimmick can. Qian Duoduo said thoughtfully.
Documentaries are not considered movies, and the films that are actually shown in theaters have indeed not had a single actor, so Chen Mubai can be regarded as creating a precedent.
I just don't know, how it happened.
If you shoot alone, it is actually difficult to grasp the rhythm, you must be relaxed, and your acting skills must be good, because there is no other reference, only you, and everyone's focus is on you alone.
Every move has attracted much attention, and if there is a slight bad performance, it is easy for people to make a play.
And it is also very difficult for a person to act, and the requirements for actors are very high.
Everyone was interested in Chen Mubai's words, and they were discussing the feasibility.
"Putting aside the problem of the film itself, will the theater schedule the film?" asked Li Feng.
Regardless of the quality of this movie for the time being, the investment is not big anyway, if it really fails, it won't waste much money, you can give it a try.
The film schedule of the theater is generally arranged according to the producer's team and cast, if the actor is famous and has more fans, the box office will be a little higher, and the film schedule will be a little higher.
The income of the theater is linked to the box office of the movie, so it will try to schedule more blockbuster movies as much as possible.
Some literary films may be award-winning works, but the audience is limited, the box office is very low, and there will be few films.
Chen Mubai's movie, although it is said to be a suspense movie, but it is made by one person, it looks a bit like a literary film, I don't know if the theater will pay for it.
If you don't schedule the film much, it will be a failure.
And they themselves still have a short foundation and no resources, so it is really difficult to eat in theaters.
This is just a matter of scheduling, not publicity.
Before the release of the movie, a professional publicity process is required, not to mention the preliminary preparations, the promotion of the trailer, the premiere of the theater, and the viewing party prepared for the media, which needs to be promoted in various places, and the workload is huge.
Some movies are handed over to special companies to promote you after they are filmed, and they are also the ones who fight for you to schedule films in theaters.
There are two kinds of publicity, one is that the theater directly helps you advertise, and the other is a special film and television production company that specializes in promoting and distributing the film.
In many cases, the two are also one kind, because many companies responsible for publicity and distribution have their own theaters, and they can provide one-stop service and wrap up.
It's going to be a hassle-free, but it's a huge benefit.
Even if you don't hand it over to a professional film and television company for publicity, you have to spend a lot of money to promote, and the effect is not necessarily good.
Many entertainment companies do not have a cinema chain, and they need to pay for advertising to cooperate directly with the cinema chain, and I don't know if the other party is doing their best to promote it.
Therefore, most of them are distributed by specialized distribution companies, and they have a closer relationship with the theater and will be more careful in publicity.
If Chen Mubai makes a movie, publicity and film scheduling are big problems.
Mubai Entertainment can promote it by itself, and then talk to the theater about publicity matters by itself, but the problem of film scheduling is different from publicity.
Just give money for publicity, and the more money you give, the more publicity will be stronger, and the trailer will be shown for your film before the movie screening within the theater.
Banners and roll-up banners will also be displayed outside the theater, as well as film and television clips, so that the audience can see your movie as much as possible.
Film scheduling is not a matter of spending money, but the quality of the movie itself, the lineup of the producer, and the attitude of the theater.
To put it simply, the theater thinks that this movie will make money, so it will give more schedules, or it just has a relationship.
If the theater is its own movie, it can naturally give priority to getting a good film schedule.
If it doesn't work in the future, the film schedule will be lowered again.
But the starting point is much higher, and there is still a big difference.
Although Mubai Entertainment is developing very well, it does not have any resources, and there are no resources for the connections in the theater chain.
This is also why when "Let's Get Married" was invested, Mubai Entertainment was willing to accept a part of the capital injection and sacrifice some interests, just to make some connections and slowly penetrate into the film and television industry.
But the time is still short, and this plan has not yet succeeded.
If Chen Mubai makes a movie so quickly, he can only rely on his own strength.
The main reason is that Chen Mubai's steps are too big, and the company can't keep up with his pace.
Lu Fang frowned and said, "If someone gets stuck in the film scheduling, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable." ”
"This time, there are people with the rhythm of the album, and there are likely to be people who will make trouble in the movie, but I am not afraid of public opinion, I am afraid that public opinion will affect the schedule of the film. ”
"Although there are not many companies that can affect the theater, the main movie is played by you alone, although there are gimmicks, but the investment is not large, the theater may not give you a good schedule, and in addition, someone will bring the rhythm, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get a good time period. ”
The time period of the movie schedule also has a great impact, if it is all midnight performances, the attendance rate will inevitably be poor, how can the box office be high?
As for someone wanting to block Chen Mubai in theaters, it is basically impossible.
Most of the domestic cinema chains are in the hands of the Seven, unless the Seven jointly blockade Chen Mubai.
This is not practical, because the Seven are also opponents of each other, and it is impossible to join forces to deal with Chen Mubai.
Moreover, there are many theaters that have a cooperative relationship with them, not affiliates, if Chen Mubai's movie audience buys it, there will naturally be theaters to make films for him, and the interests are the mainstay.
Qian Duoduo said regretfully: "In the past, my father could still help. ”
"But now, he has retired from Extraordinary Entertainment, and I'm afraid that others may not give him face......
Qian Duoduo's father, Qian Hui, used to be the CEO of Extraordinary Entertainment, but now he is no longer there, his previous connections are still there, but he doesn't have much say on the side of the theater chain, after all, the theater line values interests.
In the past, I could still look at the influence of extraordinary entertainment and give a little face as appropriate, but now that I put aside this identity, the impact is naturally limited.
It is impossible for them to give Chen Mubai a good scheduling time and more scheduling rate because of Qian Hui's words.
Chen Mubai said: "There is no need to trouble my uncle. ”
"Mubai is right, there's nothing to regret, it's up to us. Lu Fang nodded.
"That's a problem. Li Feng agreed with Lu Fang's words, this is not untargeted.
"It should be fine. Chen Mubai said: "I have a relationship with Mr. Luo of Xiangjiang Times Media this time, they have a little relationship in the film and television industry, if there is a problem at that time, I can ask him for help." ”
"That's right!" Qian Duoduo nodded violently.
Lu Fang and Li Feng's eyes also lit up, and they really didn't take this aspect into account.
Times Media is an old entertainment company, and it has the resources to do so, and if it can help them, it will really work.
"But how can you be sure that Mr. Luo is willing to help us?" Lu Fang asked.
Although Chen Mubai helped them write a song, the two sides also used each other to do publicity, and the cooperation was happy and the relationship was not bad.
But it doesn't mean that the other party will be willing to help you, the capital is not so kind, this circle is still interest-oriented, and it will help you if there is a benefit, who will want to do it without benefits?
"Possibly. Chen Mubai told everyone about his analysis and told them the meaning that Luo Fan had conveyed on the phone call before.
"It's the worst possible outcome, and hopefully it's better not to happen. Chen Mubai smiled.
"Looking at it this way, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed. Li Feng sighed.
"I really didn't expect that we were going to step into the film industry so soon!"
Qian Duoduo thought so: "Two years ago, I was just a contestant who debuted in a music variety show, and now I have made TV, it's amazing!"
It took more than a year to step into the film and television industry from the music industry.
Now, the company is starting to make films, and if it succeeds, they will make the rest of the films in the future, and they will be involved in it, which is really fantastic!
That's a fast leap!
Qian Duoduo really has a feeling of dreaming, this span is a bit big!
At present, they have discussed the problems they may encounter, and they can solve them one by one, and this matter has been decided.
After the next year, after the filming of "Let's Get Married", the filming of the movie can be started.
You don't even need to finish filming, as long as a few people assist Chen Mubai.
The editing rights of the TV series "Let's Get Married" were handed over to Chen Yunteng and the two, and Chen Mubai did not participate in the editing process.
As long as the final film comes out, Chen Mubai will take a look, and if he can, he will directly start preparing for the release and looking for buyers.
If there is a problem, then he will make some more modifications, and the workload will be much smaller.
The editing of the TV series also takes a lot of time, especially this time without Chen Mubai, an editor who has a finished film in his mind, the editing speed will naturally be very slow.
It is indeed a tedious job to connect the rhythm of the story in so many shots.
"What are you talking about!?"
"Let's serve, let's eat!"
Before they knew it, Ji Qin and the others had already prepared a meal, and everyone came to the table and prepared to eat.
"Look at the expressions of several of you are solemn and surprised, what are you talking about, so serious. Ji Qin asked with a smile.
"Next year's development issues ......," Li Feng said.
"Okay, don't think about anything during the New Year, just be happy!" Ji Qin said: "Let's talk about the future later, everyone will be happy today!"
"yes, it's over if you're happy!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone was infected by Ji Qin's words, everyone smiled and picked up their cups, and raised their glasses together and said loudly and happily.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" Chen Mubai said to himself silently again in his heart after he finished shouting.
