Chapter 123: The Sage Moment
"The Blu-ray market is going to be a huge market, and in the near future, it and DVD will outperform the North American box office market. Now, it's a blue ocean. ”
"Oh, do you know what the North American box office is right now?"
"More than 10 billion dollars. ”
"You know, you're so ...... about this DVD and Blu-ray Confidence? Together, they could be more than $10 billion?"
"The existing DVD market has always existed overseas, not because I am confident or promoted, but because this market will inevitably become another important and considerable income for overseas companies. ”
At this point in the chat, the three people in the conference room of Bai Shi Film and Television temporarily shut up and quieted down.
"Gan Dao, smoking?" Liu Hui, who came in temporarily, took advantage of the pause between his cousin and Gan Jing to politely hand over a cigarette.
Gan Jing shook his head: "Don't smoke." Pour me a cup of coffee if you can. ”
Liu Hui smiled: "No problem." ”
Compared with the last time he appeared as a reckless King Kong at the celebration banquet, now Liu Hui is completely normal and peaceful when he sees Gan Jing again.
It's just that what he is thinking about in his heart is still signing Gan Jing into his company, not what Gan Jing said about this trip to Blu-ray, what overseas market, what blue ocean, whether it is true or not, do those have anything to do with a Huaxia film and television company?
Gan Jing doesn't smoke, but Liu Zhao, the other party in the conversation, slowly lit the cigarette, took a puff, and spit out a smoke ring.
After a while, when he saw his cousin handing over the coffee, Liu Zhao said slowly: "So, listen to Sister Qian, this is the reason why you want to make a feature film?"
Gan Jing was a little helpless, and after talking for a long time, the other party's focus still fell back to what he wanted to shoot, rather than coveting the blue ocean market.
"Feature films are just a trivial matter, and what I'm going to talk about this trip is a very considerable future market for Blu-ray. ”
Liu Zhao spat out a smoke ring again, shook his head and said: "It's risky, I haven't heard that we have a Blu-ray disc in China, and there is not even a manufacturer of this, right? ”
Gan Jing took a sip of coffee, flipped through the notebook spread out in front of him, tore off the page and handed it over: "I checked, there was a blue light production line imported from neon in Shencheng last October, and it looks like a government-led industrial project in the news report." I haven't been to the field to see it, but now that it's been half a year, it should be ready for production. ”
Liu Zhao took the page, glanced at it, and smiled dumbly: "Director Gan, you have to practice your words well." ”
"It's okay, I'm better at drawing than writing, and I use more of the former. Gan Jing said this, but his brows slowly furrowed, it seemed that this trip was going to be in vain, and the frequency of the two sides was never the same.
The Blu-ray Disc market will undoubtedly continue to move forward in history, as evidenced by simple and accessible information on the Internet, whether it is the announcement of a Hollywood company that is first seeing the signs or Neon Nation's announcement to abandon the HD-DVD next-generation standard.
This would be a wave of more than $10 billion in markets, and it looks like a good entry point.
Gan Jing came to Baishi Film and Television Company this time in the hope of having a good cooperation, after all, it is better to work together to do it yourself, just say that the website marketing "whoisMonroe" he wants is not something that a kitten like Chu Hui can only do.
So, it makes sense to bring in partners.
For the whole morning, my mouth was a little dry, but the other party's interest was only on the next work I was going to do.
"Director Gan, I heard Qian Mei say that you want to make a feature film, and then use it as a test of the Blu-ray market?" Liu Hui, who had been observing next to him, suddenly spoke up again.
Gan Jing glanced at him, it was good that the two of them had the patience to listen to themselves for a long time.
He took a sip of his coffee and briefly recounted the arrangement.
"It's a very chic way of marketing. Liu Hui is responsible for the publicity and distribution of Baishi Film and Television, he nodded thoughtfully, and took off his gold-wire glasses, "But, Director Gan, don't you think the time is too short?"
"When?"
Liu Hui said unhurriedly: "According to the publicity before and after our movie, a few months is generally necessary, you can first establish a website with a movie character and then publicize it, which can be, but you have to give it time to ferment, a year or even two years, market the website, and publish a sentence 'who is Monroe' every half a month after buying a page in the newspaper, which is okay." ”
"You have to give the website time, and you have to give the market time to react, is it too early for you to make a feature film with absolute characters as the core?" Liu Hui smiled kindly.
Gan Jing rubbed his fingers, well, seeing "Monroe", drawing Monroe, marketing Monroe, and shooting Monroe, this timeline should not be too short.
Liu Hui observed that his words had taken effect, and continued: "Director Gan should be waiting for the dividends of our movie box office, right? Of course, there are good feature films, but they have never been easy to be confirmed in the box office market. I heard my brother say a few days ago, Director Gan, when you were looking for investment in the script of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", you said that this story has commonality, and its core is inspirational, affectionate, and outdated. Well, now, the one you want to do in your hands, the core of it is the heroine. ”
"The core of the heroine of a feature film can be outdated compared with inspirational and affectionate. Of course, it should be ahead of its time now, and the website hasn't been done well. Liu Hui emphasized.
There was silence in the conference room for a while.
Gan Jing showed a smile: "Pertinent." ”
Liu Hui smiled back: "So, our white book Gan Dao will consider it again? Daddy type, we can help you achieve the first place in China." ”
Gan Jing drank the remaining coffee in the cup and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is much cuter now than the last time I saw him." ”
"Hahaha. Liu Hui laughed for a while and said meaningfully, "We really cherish our talents in vain." Otherwise, there would not be the first cooperation with Gan Dao. ”
This man looks much more pleasing to the eye without a mask.
Or, is it now a kind of mask, a mask that is more suitable for talking to yourself?
Gan Jing stood up, took the initiative to shake Liu Hui's hand, and then shook hands with Liu Zhao, and said with a smile: "I'll go back and think about it." I also hope that Bai Shi can consider considering the blue light part. ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
Gan Jing put away his notebook, put it in his briefcase, and turned around and left the conference room of Bai Shi Film and Television.
If in terms of the original purpose, this trip did not achieve the goal.
However, from the perspective of looking at the plan, it is necessary to give "whoisMonroe" a gestation period.
Gan Jing walked out of the company and slowed down, and began to rethink, suitable for the Blu-ray market, the cost is not high, and it is convenient to shoot at the moment, and Liu Hui used what he said to persuade his commonality.
Gan Jing took two more steps, suddenly tucked his briefcase in his armpits, stretched out his arms and danced a short tango, and then, he stopped, shook his head, and continued walking.
After a few steps, Gan Jing stopped and squatted again, and returned to normal after a while.
In front of a traffic light, Gan Jing suddenly remembered a small-cost love after skipping "Smelling a Woman" and "Untouchable".
......
The conference room on the eighth floor of Baishi Film and Television.
Liu Hui and Liu Zhao returned to the window after sending Gan Jing out.
Neither of them spoke, staring at a figure on the sidewalk with tacit understanding.
When he saw Gan Jing dancing with his hands, Liu Hui said with some embarrassment: "Brother, what do you say this Gan Jing is thinking? Daddy is so smooth sailing, he doesn't want to come." ”
"Probably smoked. Liu Zhao looked at the figure who had already begun to take steps and had no director, "Just wait until it is drawn back by the market." ”
Liu Hui's eyes flickered, and he looked at the figure below and finally disappeared.
