Chapter 88: The Old Profession (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

In the very simple pull-out room of the Embassy Pictures, everyone was silent, looking at the picture that was about to end, several people were rubbing their eyes and pinching their foreheads, which seemed to be very uncomfortable.

The screen blackened and the screening was over, and Garcia breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel dizzy and dizzy, and if he continued, he might vomit.

The film that the new boss bought from the St. Denis Film Festival is worse than the small overseas productions that Embassy Pictures bought from Central Asia for $20,000 or 30,000, and even ranks among the worst of all the films he has seen.

Thomas, the director of the theatrical distribution department, took off his glasses, found a tissue, and rubbed his eyes for a while.

What a torture.

Is this the new boss's dissatisfaction with the management of Embassy Pictures and deliberately torturing them with this kind of torture?

Thomas looked at Terry, the director of offline distribution, who shook his head, clearly not liking the tattered film either.

Publicity Director David Villa was silent, pondering where the promotional point for the film was, and found nothing.

Robert turned off the small projector, opened the thick curtains, and looked at Ronan sitting in the front, his eyes full of doubts, why buy such a film?

Could it be that Ronan is going to take the foolish road of the past again? the lesson of "Jedi Life"......

"How do you feel?" Ronan asked the fierce Latina girl next to him.

Since he had to re-edit, he specially called Jessica Felton over.

Jessica Felton clasped her hands on her chest, perhaps her breasts were too soft, and her slender arms pressed the towering peaks to the sides, causing her shirt buttons to tighten and seem to fall off at any moment.

"The camera was terrible, amateurish. Jessica Filton is technical, so there's no need to say: "The editing is worse." ”

She wondered, "You can't shoot this thing, right?"

Ronan pinched his itchy nose and said, "I bought it from the St. Denis Film Festival." ”

Jessica Felton is honest: "Rich, but the one who sold it to you." ”

The curtains were all opened, Garcia turned on the light, and the pull-tab room was bright again.

"You guys want to discuss this film, right?" Jessica Felton is a technomaniac, but not stupid, and still understands basic interpersonal relationships, seeing Ronan nodding and saying, "I'll go out for a spin, and you'll contact me when you're done." ”

Ronan pulled her away from her busy technical research, and certainly wasn't just looking at such a DV video.

Jessica Felton leaves the pull-sheet room.

Ronan stood up, looked at the key people in the distribution company, and said, "This is the film I bought out all the rights at the St. Denis Film Festival for $80,000 at once. ”

Hearing this, Garcia immediately calculated, how long would it take to recoup the cost if the videotapes and discs were released?

"I'm ready to push this film into theaters. Ronan said again.

Garcia looked at Ronan in surprise, does this kind of film have the significance of theatrical release?

Terry and Thomas looked at each other, and seemed to see each other's thoughts, the last time the young man was very knowledgeable and had financing channels in his hands, and they were still rejoicing in the possible future of the company.

It's only been a long time for the layman's side to come to light......

David Villa frowned, how much to invest, how much to lose, right?

Robert couldn't figure it out, why was Ronan suddenly unreliable?

Ronan can see the disapproval of his subordinates, and can even guess the doubts in the hearts of Garcia and others, if he didn't have some capital in his hands, he would definitely not fight the idea of this film.

The production cost of this film is very low, but if it wants to be successful, it also requires a large investment.

"I'm going to set up a dedicated distribution team for this film. Ronan knew very well that nothing could dispel the doubts in these people's minds now, so he simply said: "Someone is needed to be in charge of this distribution team." ”

His gaze swept over the faces of several people in the pull-tab room, "Which of you wants to be in charge of this project?"

Thomas, the director of theatrical publishing, opened his mouth, and endured it, and an uncontrollable thought came to his mind, what was this going to do? Deliberately prepare a garbage project and then exclude dissidents?

When the project fails, the person in charge must take responsibility......

Terry didn't mean to speak, theatrical distribution was not his business in the first place.

Robert looked and saw that no one answered, and stood up to take the project, perhaps Ronan saw something he didn't see.

After all, the two trips to Abu Dhabi, coupled with the success of the Human Eradication Plan, have proven Ronan's vision and ability to execute.

He had long agreed in his heart that Ronan stood taller than him and George, and could see far.

But before Robert could speak, Garcia said, "I'm against the release of this project. ”

Ronan looked at Garcia, Garcia did not hesitate, and in an attitude of being responsible for the company, he continued: "The quality of the film is average, the risk is too great, and it is easy to bring losses. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "The company has just completed the acquisition, and if the first film released fails, it will have a negative impact in many ways. This project should be cautious. ”

Ronan nodded secretly, these words can reflect Garcia's sense of responsibility, if he, the boss, said that it would be released, and Garcia would run the film regardless of the quality of the film itself, then it would really be necessary to consider whether this kind of person is suitable for the current position.

In fact, Ronan is also secretly investigating.

New company, new personnel, everyone has their own ideas, and it is impossible for him to understand it just by looking at the information.

"I have a preliminary idea here......

Ronan said, opening the briefcase and handing a few copies to the people in the pull-tab room: "You guys take a look first, this is a plan with viral marketing as the core. Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and the specific implementation process needs to be formulated by you professionals. ”

Garcia didn't say anything more, looked down at the copy, only read half a page, and was hooked.

It's an incredible idea, Hollywood hasn't existed in the past, right? Creativity is wild, the question is whether it will succeed?

Hollywood's inherent model is the safest, right?

Terry and Thomas flipped one page and the next, three points shocked, three points absurd, and three points thought they could try.

Robert swallowed and foamed, and read Ronan's vision as fast as he could, and his opinion on the tattered film suddenly reversed.

Looks like it can succeed, right?

It's not necessarily someone else, after all, such a plan requires strong execution.

But Ronan and his own people must be fine.

A thought flashed through Robert's head: We all started by cheating, and we started our old business, which is handy!

David Villa closed the photocopy and filtered through his mind the possible effects of this initial plan, adding to it appropriately based on years of experience.

Embassy Pictures has just started, and Ronan knows very well that the two sides are in the stage of establishing a relationship of trust in the initial stage, and will not use the means of force promotion until the end.

"A crazy idea. Garcia looked at Ronan, as if he didn't know what to say, and organized the language for a while before he said: "It's also a plan that may detonate public opinion once it succeeds." ”

Ronan smiled and waited for Garcia to continue.

Garcia took a deep breath: "There's strong enforceability, but it's very risky. Normal people don't bow down because they see crazy ideas, but he wonders: "If this plan is executed, there are too many loopholes in the content of the film." ”

Ronan replied, "So, I got an editor and prepared to re-edit. ”

Garcia still has doubts: "This kind of marketing strategy may affect the company's reputation. ”

Ronan didn't need an echo worm, so he answered patiently: "The distribution company is hidden behind the scenes, and this film has nothing to do with the union, so you don't need to join the opening credits of Embassy Pictures." ”

He has thought about it for a long time, and even in the additional terms of the copyright contract he signed, it is indicated: "If the film is really successful, wait until the day it is exposed, push the director and leading actors of the film to the foreground, let them enjoy the cheers of the media and fans, enjoy the light of all the lights, and enjoy everything." ”

In the previous life, the artisan company that distributed this film seems to have adopted this strategy, and the director and the leading actors cut through the sky like meteors, and quickly fell silent.

How the craftsman company should be operated, or how it should be operated, has not been negatively affected.

Ronan also took into account that the directors and leading actors of this film have no experience at all, and they are all marginal people who are far away from Hollywood, and it is relatively easy to manipulate them.
