Chapter 81: It's Decided, Go to Busan!
The box office failure of "Flying Youth" was expected by Shen Huan.
Today's fans are no longer the fans who didn't understand anything twenty years ago.
After so many years of bad movie baptism, they have long been able to distinguish what looks good and what doesn't.
There are too many faults in "Flying Youth", and at most I can give it a passing score of 60 points.
Originally, they didn't have to be so miserable, in terms of the quality of shooting and the plot, movies that are worse than them are everywhere.
The key is that "Flying Youth" has been consuming "Love Letters" and consuming Chu Liuxiang.
Everyone is not blind, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Flying Youth" is forcibly promoted.
If the quality of their movie is good, it is called "marketing means", but the movie "Flying Youth" is not good-looking, and the plot logic is full of loopholes, so when new hatreds and old hatreds come together, everyone will naturally shout and fight.
Shen Huan didn't care at all whether "Flying Youth" was good or not.
Even if its quality is really good, compared with "Love Letter", it is still a big difference.
"Love Letters" is a classic from another world.
If you talk about pure love movies alone, it can even score 90 points.
It is a pity that at a time when "Love Letters" has not yet been tested by the market, there is a general lack of confidence in it.
Ding Lun was calling Shen Huan from time to time.
The news came from a bad one.
The three major film giants refused, the five second-tier film companies also refused, and none of the third-tier film companies agreed to buy out.
Even in terms of distribution, major theater chains are unwilling to bear the share, but insist on signing a contract to guarantee the bottom.
It means that not only will all the distribution and publicity costs be borne by the crew of "Love Letter", but if the scheduled box office is not reached, it will also have to lose money.
Where does Ju Mei have so much money?
Even if she had, she wouldn't have been so devotive.
So, after being rejected by Liao Shiwan of Xuanwu Movie again, she took Ding Lun and Shi Liyou to the small noodle restaurant again.
When Shen Huan and Shui Qingshan's family saw her, she was much haggard than before.
Even when filming "Love Letter", when she was busy for 16 hours a day, Zhu Mei was never so tired.
"Ame, don't worry so much. Shui Qingshan comforted her, "Isn't it that we still have the road to the Busan International Film Festival? I heard that you have all applied for it?"
"That's just an alternative, I don't know if it's going to work. Zhu Mei rubbed her eyebrows, "By the way, senior brother, you give me a card number, and I will call you the 3 million." ”
"What do you mean?" Shui Qingshan said stunned.
"Originally, we only used about 3 million yuan for filming, and even if we went to Taiji, it would cost about 1 million at most. Zhu Mei said: "The box office has earned 12 million, and the copyright of video websites and TV broadcasts may exceed 15 million." Senior Brother Liao gave me a bonus of 1 million, which is almost enough, and you don't need the 3 million. ”
"Aunt Mei, do you think that since the "Love Letter" is at a loss, it is better for you to bear it alone, and don't pull my father in?" Shui Qianyu asked with a wink of eyes.
Zhu Mei smiled when she heard this, "Senior brother is not a businessman, I thought that the money was not enough, so I took him." Now that that's enough, there's no need to share the risk. ”
"No, no, no. Shui Qingshan waved his hand, "You gave me all the money, so if "Love Letter" can't be released and becomes a waste film, won't you have to lose all your net worth?"
"I can be a director again. Zhu Mei said: "Although Senior Brother Liao can't help me in this aspect, he also found the script for the next movie for me, as long as I finish this side, I can go to film! Because of the results of "Paper Kite", the conditions he gave are very good! Shoot two or three more, and these losses will come back." ”
"Aunt Mei, it's not right for you to say this, you have no confidence in Shen Huan. Shui Qianyu pursed her mouth, "The script written by Shen Huan is good, and the movie made must be very good! It's just that this group of people doesn't know how to appreciate it, and they are not audiences who spend money to enter the cinema! So, you will definitely have a bumper harvest at the film festival!"
Zhu Mei laughed dumbly when she heard this, "Yes, yes, Aunt Mei is wrong." ”
"Xiao Shuishui, you misunderstood Aunt Mei. Shen Huan said at this time: "If Aunt Mei didn't have confidence, it would be impossible for her to make this movie without the film company paying for it." Usually a director will not directly invest money into the movies he shoots, because to a large extent, this will affect his own shooting. ”
"Well, Xiao Huan is right. Shui Qingshan echoed, "I haven't seen the director pay for the filming himself! Amei must really like this script." ”
"So, even if "Love Letter" doesn't come out, it's not about our script, the actors, the director and the people behind the scenes. Zhu Mei said, "It's just that it doesn't fit the times." ”
After a pause, she added: "It's too early to say this, we still have a chance! As long as we have results at the Busan International Film Festival, it will be easy to release when we come back." ”
"Yes!"
Shen Huan slowly bowed his head, "Aunt Mei, this time at the Busan International Film Festival, you call Han Dong'er and Chen Qian, and then I will go with you!"
"You guys?"
"That's right, how can you do a movie without the presence of the hero and heroine?" Shen Huan said, "Besides, we can also help with the promotion!"
"You don't have to go to class?" Zhu Mei said in surprise.
"I could have taken a week or so off. Shen Huan said, "There should be no problem at the school." ”
"But ......"
Zhu Mei's words were directly interrupted by Shi Liyou, "Yes, Sister Mei, don't forget, all the people of Taiji are Yan Kong!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Mei suddenly realized.
The young man in front of her is the most handsome young man she has ever seen, and Han Dong'er is also beautiful, Chen Qian is also very good-looking, if the three of them promote it together, the effect will be improved a lot.
"Alright then!"
Zhu Mei nodded slowly, "There's no problem with Chen Qian's side, I'll contact Han Dong'er now, hoping that she can also find time." ”
"Just contact her agent directly, you don't have to tell her company. Shen Huan reminded.
"Don't worry, I still understand that. Zhu Mei smiled, "It's just that this time it's really a bit too much to borrow her, if we have the opportunity in the future, we have to repay others." ”
Her words were to the point, and everyone nodded again and again.
It's just that none of them thought that in fact, letting Han Donger star in "Love Letter" was already a reward for her!
The girl back then looked far worse than Han Dong'er, and she also competed for several Best Movie Newcomer awards in Japan!
If it goes well, Han Donger will also get a few nominations, it's really like playing!
