142 Script "Wolf Warrior" (Part I)
On the Internet, there is still a hot discussion about the release of Wei Xun's new song and the fact that he has gained a lot at the Golden Melody Awards.
But Wei Xun himself had quietly come to the Guanchi Group at this time.
"Come, sit. ”
In the president's office, seeing Wei Xun arrive, Ji Sheng raised his hand and pointed to a middle-aged man next to him, and introduced: "This is Xiang Yang, the film manager of Guanchi." ”
Wei Xun greeted with a smile: "Xiang is always good." ”
"Hello Wei Xun, don't be too polite, just call me by name. What I mean when I invite you over tonight, Xiaotang should have already talked to you. "Giant Screen Crisis 2" is in contact with all theaters today, and if nothing else, it will be finalized for Golden Week. ”
After Wei Xun sat down, Xiang Yang said: "My suggestion to Mr. Chi is that if "Giant Screen Crisis 2" is released, the film schedule should be fully tilted towards this film, which is a good opportunity for Guanchi Cinema to further enter the market." So, I personally recommend that Charlotte Troubles be re-geared as much as possible, what do you mean?"
This film manager of Guanchi is really straightforward and direct, even if Chi Sheng is next to him, he can be neither humble nor arrogant.
But Wei Xun was not affected, and said with a smile: "I mean, it will be released as usual." ”
Ji Sheng raised an eyebrow beside him.
Xiang Yang was silent for a moment and said: "In that case, "Charlotte's Troubles" can only get 20% of the scheduled film in Guanchi in my hands. ”
Twenty percent sounds like a lot.
But among the cinemas that Wei Xun cooperates with, Guanchi is definitely his strongest backing, if even Guanchi will not give him the highest film schedule, then the rest of the cinemas will only be less.
In the face of Hollywood imported films a few years ago, Chinese films were rarely able to withstand it, and they were basically abused by blood.
Later, everyone learned smartly, as long as they encountered imported films with strong momentum, they would adjust the file as soon as possible to avoid it.
Hearing Xiang Yang say that he was only willing to give 20% of the film, Wei Xun looked at Ji Sheng.
Ji Sheng shook his head and said, "Xiang Yang is the scheduling manager, and I choose to respect him." Wei Xun, in fact, Xiang Yang is also very optimistic about your "Charlotte Troubles", I have read his film scheduling plan, and he originally gave you 45% of Guanchi's film schedule. ”
But "Giant Screen Crisis 2" stepped in and directly tore away more than half of the schedule of "Charlotte's Troubles".
This is the current situation of today's Chinese film and television industry.
I was so afraid of imported films that I didn't dare to fight at all.
But in fact, Wei Xun didn't think it was strange, and he believed that Xiang Yang and Ji Sheng would not lie to him, because this was still based on the results of his last movie "Chinese Partner", and Guan Chi would give 20% of the film schedule, otherwise it would definitely be less.
In his previous life on Earth, Wei Xun also experienced the release of "Avengers 4", and almost all local films chose to adjust the files, resulting in the absurd situation of more than 90% of the scheduled films of this imported film.
In fact, there is no difference between China in this time and space, all imported films that have achieved high box office in China can get 40%, 50, or even more than 60% on the first day.
This is also the reason why in the era of the sluggish Chinese film market, imported films can reap the box office in this land.
But sadly, it is rare for local Chinese films to get such a high schedule, because the audience of local films cannot fill such a high schedule.
Of course, imported films can't fill up, but their potential is greater after all, so the box office can be piled up by scheduling films.
"Thank you for your optimism, and I understand the reason why Guanchi did this. But in recent years, it has been different from previous years, our market has not blindly begun to pursue imported blockbusters, and the box office of local films should not be underestimated. ”
Wei Xun said seriously: "Take "Giant Screen Crisis 1" as an example, it got more than 50% of the film schedule rate on the first day of China, and the final box office was only 930 million, while my "Chinese Partner" was more than 30% of the film schedule on the first day, and the final box office was 750 million. What's more, as far as I know, "Giant Screen Crisis 1" can't support more than 50% of the first-day film schedule, and on the day of the premiere, how many shows were scrapped in theaters across the country can be known as soon as you ask. ”
In exchange for someone to say this, they must not have confidence.
But Wei Xun, who relied on "Chinese Partner" to harvest 750 million yuan at the box office, definitely has it.
Xiang Yang was silent for a moment and said, "Twenty-five percent, no more." ”
"Giant Screen Crisis 2 is a special effects blockbuster, and the audience mostly belongs to the young group, which is not friendly to the overall audience in the market. "Charlotte's Troubles" is a very vulgar comedy, very down-to-earth, vulgar for all ages, Xiang Zong was willing to give me forty-five films before, and he must know the potential of this film in his heart. ”
Wei Xun smiled: "I can't guarantee that the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" will definitely be higher than that of "Giant Screen Crisis 2", but I dare to guarantee that the attendance rate of "Charlotte's Troubles" will definitely be better than it." ”
This time, Xiang Yang finally hesitated.
He smiled bitterly, looked at Chi Sheng, and said, "Mr. Chi, come and get an idea, his words are too inflammatory, and I can't calmly look at the potential of these two films now." ”
Without waiting for Ji Sheng to speak, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, saying that Wei Xun's agent Mao Bin was here and handed in a script.
Wei Xun took the script, and after the secretary left, he looked at Ji Sheng and said, "Mr. Chi, I can give you five points of the box office profit of "Charlotte's Troubles". ”
Five points?
Ji Sheng and Xiang Yang were both a little surprised, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then Chi Sheng said, "Tell me about your conditions." ”
With so many box office concessions, Wei Xun is obviously not a fool, and he must have a plan.
"Three conditions. First, I have a script that I want to shoot, but with my personal ability, even if I have money in hand, it is difficult to start the project for a while. So I want Mr. Chi's help and hand this script to it, preferably to the troops. ”
"Second, Guanchi Cinema will add another 5% of the film schedule to me, "Charlotte's Troubles" here in Guanchi, at least 30% of the first-day film schedule, and before the Golden Week, I hope Guanchi can cut out a part of the film schedule and do a large-scale screening of "Charlotte's Troubles". ”
"Thirdly, Guanchi Group has a takeaway software called 'Hao Hung', and the ticket-buying software 'Panda' of Medal Media Holdings, which is expected to be connected to a sales port on the Hao Hungry app. Panda can give the corresponding remuneration to the hungry every year, or if the pool is interested, we can also jointly control the panda. ”
After Wei Xun finished speaking, he handed out the script in his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Chi thinks, but in fact, no matter whether "Giant Screen Crisis 2" is killed halfway or not, I have been looking for an opportunity to talk to Mr. Chi about these things recently." The above three conditions, if Mr. Chi feels that it is not worth it, then we can talk about the concession of "Charlotte's Troubles". ”
These three requirements are obviously well thought out and planned for a long time.
Otherwise, Wei Xun would not have been able to open all the conditions so quickly, and it also shows that Wei Xun has never considered the matter of making "Charlotte Trouble" change from beginning to end.
But let's not talk about the last two conditions, just saying that this script that has no money to shoot and needs to be handed over is very delicate.
Ji Sheng took the script with some curiosity, and there were two words written on the title page: Wolf Warrior.
