Chapter 22: The Wind and Rain Before the Screening (Exploding More Requests for Recommendation Votes!)
On the other end of the phone, after Shan Huatang hung up the phone, his original full smile and sincere expression disappeared.
Zhang Huiming and the others shuddered.
"Lao Shan, you're so disgusting, no, your acting skills are really good. โ
Shan Huatang rolled his eyes, "What do you know, this is called good acting!"
In fact, he himself felt disgusting, but this 'begging for help' must be sincere.
But there is definitely no sincerity, so you can only act.
It's a shame that he is a professor at the Film and Television Academy of the Ninth World, and his acting skills are super god-level, this kind of SO EASY.
Fang Zhengming was very curious, "Lao Dan, we have been following Liu Fat Pig to deal with each other, how can you be sure that he will be happy to help?"
Shan Huatang borrowed the topic to play, "I don't understand this, right?
Fang Zhengming was about to burst out again, "Eat Lao Tzu and spit it out, and Lao Tzu will study human nature." โ
Shan Huatang hurriedly coughed twice and explained: "Just because we have been following Liu Dajun and not dealing with it, he must want to see us make a fool of ourselves." โ
"We made a movie and wanted to release it, but he must have thought that we were doing a terrible job, and once it was released, we would lose all our money, and then he would be able to see us make a fool of ourselves. โ
The four brothers suddenly realized, "I see. โ
Fang Zhengming smiled very cheaply, "Our movie is so good, when the box office explodes, it will scare this turtle grandson!"
Zheng Fangyuan squinted, "I seem to have seen Liu Fat Pig give birth to himself." โ
Wang Jianxing seems to have seen the box office numbers soar, singing all the way and making a lot of money.
At this time, Zheng Fangyuan touched his chin and thought.
"Lao Dan, how do I think you have changed. โ
Shan Huatang asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'm talented?"
"No, I think you're like an old fritter with a lot of life experience. โ
Shan Huatang smiled, Lao Tzu's life experience is so rich, it can be called the sea!

The next day, Shan Huatang sent the film to radio and television for review.
In the afternoon of the same day, I received the news that the review had been passed.
I have to say that this Liu Dajun is really 'warm-hearted'!
Fang Zhengming laughed, "When the movie is released, no matter what the results are, I have to thank this alumnus, and if the box office is good, I must thank him heavily." โ
After the review is passed, then the release can be put on the agenda.
If the big theater agrees to cooperate, then it will be released in the big theater, and if the big theater can't watch their movie, then they will choose to release it in the 25 private theaters.
Talk to a big theater, don't need to go out with Shan Huatang.
Wang Jianxing has acquaintances, and he will communicate with them.
In the evening, bad news came.
The five brothers meet.
Wang Jianxing frowned, very unhappy.
"Brothers, bad news for you, the big theaters don't accept our films. โ
Fang Zhengming was anxious, "I haven't seen the film yet, so I won't accept it?"
Wang Jianxing nodded, "As soon as the other party heard the name of our company, he refused, and he watched a fart film." โ
Everyone thought that someone was playing tricks!
Fang Zhengming's violent temper really can't bear it.
"Don't even think about it, it must be Liu Dajun, a bastard, who deliberately let us pass the review, and then didn't let us release it, I want to scold him to death!"
Zhang Huiming grabbed him and told him to calm down first.
"Liu Dajun is just waiting for you to do this, watch your jokes. โ
Fang Zhengming felt that it was so angry, grandma's, was put on the table!
Shan Huatang was quite surprised, "Old Fang, why have you never been such a man in front of your wife?"
Fang Zhengming raised his eyebrows, "Can that be the same? My wife gave me money, what did Liu Dajun give me?"
Shan Huatang asked Wang Jianxing, "Do you know who made the theater boycott us?"
Even if Wang Health has always been good-tempered, he can't help but explode at this time.
"Fortunately, I have a good friend who works at the headquarters of the cinema line, and I found out that it was Liu Dajun, the king of the eight lambs, who did it, and asked the major cinemas to boycott the film and television dramas produced by our company. โ
Shan Huatang nodded.
"Actually, I thought of this result a long time ago. โ
"This Liu Dajun has never been a vegetarian, and since he is willing to help us, he will definitely leave us alone.
"His calculation is very simple, deliberately help us through, and then make it impossible for us to be released, and all the money is wasted. โ
The conversation changed.
"But so what? Our movies are of good quality, and we have encountered such a timely festival as Singles' Day, as long as the publicity is in place and attracts enough people, the effect may be better in private theaters, and once the tentative number of moviegoers in these private theaters explodes, there will naturally be other movie theaters to talk to us about cooperation, and we will earn more than when we are released in big theaters." โ
Fang Zhengming took the case, "It's numb, I announce that it will be released in private theaters!"
As a result, the first film "32 Days of Broken Love" produced by Gold Medal Soft Rice Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. will be released in private theaters.
In the next few days, the five founders divided their labor and cooperated, went to the 25 private theaters to deliver the finished films, and signed a sharing cooperation.
Shan Huatang fulfilled his promise, and the first person he looked for was Wang Xukun, the owner of Xingchen Private Cinema.
Wang Xukun started to laugh, he felt that the heroine was funny and self-inflicted.
Looking at it, he felt that the heroine was so pitiful, and the taste of betrayal was empathetic.
In the end, Wang Xukun took the tissue handed over by Shan Huatang, blew his nose, and signed the contract with tears in his eyes.
"Shan Dong, I won't tell you, I once missed a very good girl, I hesitated when she said she liked me, and now I regret it, but she is already a mother of two. โ
"I'm very optimistic about this movie, and I believe it will explode by then. โ
"Don't worry, I'm well-connected, and I'll help you do publicity. โ
Shan Huatang shook hands with him, "I hope that in the future, I won't let down the girls you like or like you again, and don't let yourself regret it." โ
After Shan Huatang left, Wang Xukun hid his face and cried bitterly, this theater is saved, Lao Tzu's family property is coming back!
The other twenty-four theater owners have given praise to most of them after watching the finished film, of course, some are not optimistic, but they still signed a contract, after all, they can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor now, hoping to attract many people to watch it.
In the end, all 25 private theaters cooperated, and a few more theaters were somewhat interested, but are still on the sidelines.
In the end, that's all that remains with publicity.
If you don't have a publicity company, you can only promote it yourself.
All employees of the company were dispatched, and some were responsible for playing clips online for publicity on Douyin, live broadcast rooms, video platforms, etc.
Some carry out offline publicity, posters, rental TV screens, trial courtesy and other activities to promote passers-by.
At the same time, 25 private cinemas also put up movie posters to attract the attention of passers-by.
In addition, some theater owners will use their personal relationships to promote it, that is, friends and friends of friends help to promote together.
One person's propaganda may not have a large effect and a wide range, but when so many people publicize it together, the effect can be called explosive, even more in place and wider than the propaganda of big movies and theaters!
For a while, many people knew that there was a movie called "32 Days of Broken Love" to be released on 11.11, that is, Singles' Day.
The film is unique in that it is not chosen to be released in large theaters, but in private theaters.
Many people have watched the edited short film and know that this is a movie that makes people laugh and cry after watching it, and cry until they laugh, which has the value of expectation.
