Chapter 192: Aiming for a Low Point (2/5)
Orange image.
Chen Zhixi is settling accounts.
As the production director of "The Age of Fruit Marriage", there are too many accounts to audit every day.
Of course, the crew of "Fruit Marriage Era" is not short of money and a bunch of sponsorships, but the responsibility of the production director is to do it with the least amount of money to achieve the best results!
She's doing a good job!
At least the accounts are not exceeded.
filmed "The Age of Fruit Marriage", mainly relying on Lu Xiaoran's appeal and connections...
Chen Zhixi is thinking about building his own network...
With a fixed network, you can be considered a qualified production director.
It's not enough to have a wide network of people, and the awesome production director generally has good popularity.
The film and television industry is about teamwork, and the commander of the light pole can't survive at all.
For example, a small-production drama has a very tight budget, which means that the salary is not high, and who wants to do things with less money and more things?
At this time, it may be necessary to rely on the personality charm of the production director to build a team, and everyone may have signed the contract "half sold and half given" for this person.
Of course, this is also the good relationship accumulated by the previous production director, and every one of them may be a friend he has helped.
Zhong Lifang told her, 'The showbiz is a river and lake, it is very complicated, but in fact, it is not that complicated, when you really pay, there is always a reward. β
ββ¦ Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, but Chen Zhixi didn't raise his head: "Come in!"
"Ahem..."
ββ¦ How are you... Oh, you're done?"
"Hmm. Lu Xiaoran walked over and looked at her desk: "Reckoning?"
"That's right!" Chen Zhixi nodded, and then said: "I just realized that TV series make more money than movies!"
"You think too much, it's just an example, our country produces at least 30,000 episodes of TV dramas every year, and no more than 8,000 episodes can be broadcast.
Later generations have to add famous IP adaptations, and big directors are not good - Zhao Baogang's "Sword of the Deep Sea", there is no TV station to buy it, and it dragged on for two years, and Beijing TV bought it at a low price...
Of course, that drama is rubbish, don't watch it, if you watch it, you will want to kill the screenwriter.
After chatting for a while, Lu Xiaoran said, "Let's go, let's have a meeting!"
"Meeting, what?"
ββ¦ You'll know when you go!"
β¦β¦
After about three years of development, Orange Image has expanded from the original four people to more than 100 people, and the rented office has also changed from Lu Xiaoran's own office building at the beginning to one floor today...
If it weren't for the fact that Beijing didn't need to build office buildings...
He couldn't afford it anyway.
There is no competition within the company, the atmosphere is very good, the main brokerage department has not been set up, and there is only an actress.
What role there is, it will be divided after discussion.
Once you have an artist management department, wait and see, there will definitely be many factions!
There are four things in front of the company now, first, of course, the filming of "The Age of Fruit Marriage", which has been almost completed, and the premiere platform has been negotiated;
second, the filming of "The Wind" - orange images accounted for sixty percent of the investment, and this Zeng Guangxian followed up;
The third and fourth, which are also to be discussed at this meeting, are the promotion of "People in Embarrassment" and the establishment of "Time and Space Traveler"...
""People in Embarrassment", everyone should have watched it, talk about box office expectations!"
As soon as the words fell, Zeng Guangxian said: "I don't think 50 million is a problem!"
"It's hard to say, 30 million!"
"Forty million..."
Lu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, how could the people in the company be so timid?
Million?
You guys are too underestimated of "People in Embarrassment"!
Therefore, he said: "Let's refer to "Nightclub", "Nightclub" has sold 58 million, "People in Embarrassment"..."
Zhang Jin waved his hand: "There is no comparison between the two, "Nightclub" has your participation, there is sugar candy..."People in Embarrassment" only Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng's last movie "Love Call Transfer" box office is 37 million..."
"But it's different now... Xu Zheng... Xu..."
Lu Xiaoran reacted suddenly, Xu Zheng doesn't seem to be well-known now...
The baby hasn't proven himself in the movies.
At least at the MarchΓ© du Film!
Zhang Jin continued: "... I haven't finished saying that the release schedule of "Love Call Transfer" is the Chinese New Year file, and the release date of "People in Embarrassment" is March, we can refer to the film market index in March last year, the market data in March last year was 320 million, which is still under the leadership of the three blockbusters "10,000 Years Before History", "Jiangshan Beauty", and "National Treasure: The Secret of Treasure Hunting"... Of the movies released in March this year, only one "Dragon Ball" is likely to bring heat to the market! The theater chain is very optimistic about the market in March, and has given a forecast of up to 300 million!
"Under this premise, I think "People in Embarrassment" will win a maximum of 50 million at the box office!"
How does it make sense the more you listen to it?
Chen Zhi paused for a moment, and then asked, "You... Where do you get your data?"
"Gao Jun of the New Film Federation told me... Orange has won the exclusive online ticketing channel of more than 30 movie theaters of the New Film Association..."
Lu Xiaoran thought for a while, and then asked, "What if we launch a ticket supplement?"
Zhang Jin shook his head directly: "There is no need, in fact, it is already very good that a movie like "People in Embarrassment" can get a box office of 50 million, and we are not a listed company, so there is no need to do anything at the box office!"
"I mean five million..."
"I understand what you mean, throwing money at the early stage, driving up the box office, and attracting moviegoers, but to be honest, the influence of 'orange' is too small now, and our registered users have not yet reached 500,000... It's not the right time to do this!"
Lu Xiaoran suddenly felt that what she said before about a box office of over 100 million was a bit too wishful thinking...
"Okay, the publicity plan remains the same, the box office is less, the box office is less, the "Embarrassment" series, I am going to make a series, "People in Embarrassment" is mainly used to smash word of mouth!"
End of this topic.
Zeng Guangxian nodded: "Then let's discuss "Time and Space Love Traveler"!"
Zhang Jin took out another table: "First of all, the positioning is a romance film, the main focus is the boss and our boss, the fans of the two of you are mainly concentrated in the student and white-collar class, and the most suitable release time should be the summer..."
"What the hell? Summer? April starts, from the start of filming to the release, you let me finish it in three months? Who do you think I am? This is a movie!"
"Well, I know," Zhang Jin glanced at Lu Xiaoran: "So what I said is the most appropriate, but given that "Transformers 2" will be released at the end of June, and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Ouchi Secret Agent Lingling Dog" will be released in July, so I suggest that we release it in August, just so that "Fruit Marriage Era" will be broadcast in July, and August is the time for fire!"
Lu Xiaoran: "Is it in such a hurry?
"The National Day file has "The Wind", "Wheat Field", "My Fair Gentleman"..."
"That's... November!"
"There's '2012' in November!"
"Lunar New Year... Forget it, when I didn't say it!"
This year's Chinese New Year files include "October Siege", "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", "Fengyun 2", "Thorn Tomb"...
It's so hard...
"Boss, as far as I know, "Time and Space Traveler" is a real-life romance film, shouldn't it be difficult to deal with in the later stage, right? Let's work hard, it should be released in August, it should be able to do it, right?"
ββ¦ I... I'll try my best!"
"By the way, the producer of "Time and Space Traveler" also asked Zhixi to come. β
"Me?"
"yes, remember a few more sponsorships!"
