"Three-Body Problem 2" is being filmed in an orderly manner, and the Chinese film market is relatively depressed.

During the Spring Festival, due to high ticket prices, the number of moviegoers fell sharply in 18 years, and there was no film with a box office of more than 3 billion.

It was even worse after the Spring Festival, except for "Avengers 4", which exploded in April, there was no Chinese film until the summer, and the market was sluggish.

Therefore, Gao Hongze, vice president of Longlin Pictures, did not particularly understand the matter of being ordered to negotiate with Guangxian to jointly distribute "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World". But I know what Chairman Lu explained, just do it.

At the beginning of the matter, it originated from an invitation from Wang Changtian, who wanted to invite Lu Lin to help the platform of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends", which was produced and released by Lu Linbang, to publicize and publicize it.

Lu Lin said with a smile on the phone, Guoman wants to support, and he will definitely go at the premiere, but it is really not okay to ask Lu Lin to be a producer.

Because there is no "The Return of the Great Sage" anime movie in this time and space, the highest box office record of a Chinese anime movie is created by "Big Fish and Begonia", which is less than 600 million.

So before the release, Wang Changtian didn't have much confidence. In his mind, if he can surpass "Big Fish and Begonia", he will be content with a box office of 600 million or more, and he doesn't dare to think too much about it.

Now that he heard that Lu Lin was willing to be a producer, Wang Changtian really felt a sense of surprise from the sky.

The actual name is not new in the film and television industry. "Hero" was a big hit at the North American box office that year, and to a large extent, it was also borrowed from the nominal producer Quentin.

In China, it is not uncommon for famous filmmakers to be named directors and producers, and many may not have been to the set at all. is similar to Xiao Xianrou's use of more than 20 stand-ins in a scene, and the nature of shooting a few scenes showing his face is similar.

What's more, how many people want to use Lu Lin's name to promote but can't. Now that "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" can be turned into a work supervised by Lu Lin, how much help will be added to the promotion of this piece?

Thinking about eight or nine years ago, Lu Lin walked into Guangxian Media alone and wanted to ask Guangxian to distribute "The Return of the Great Sage", Wang Changtian felt like a world away.

Feng Shui takes turns, but now he is asking Lu Lin for help!

Fortunately, without waiting for him to feel nostalgic, Gao Hongze, the vice president of Longlin Pictures, had already taken his assistant downstairs.

Gao Hongze first shook hands with Wang Changtian and then greeted the accompanying assistants and lawyers.

Because it is a joint issuance, it is necessary to talk about the respective obligations and profit sharing. Not to mention the resources and manpower that Longlin Pictures needs to use, let's just say that Lu Lin is famous, if the movie is not too bad, it will have to sell two or three hundred million more box office.

A few people greeted each other and entered the reception room, Gao Hongze said: "Let's take a look at the film first, and we will make a brief assessment before we can talk about the details of cooperation!"

Wang Changtian has no objections, in the past, someone brought the film to the bright to ask for release, and he also had this process.

is the director of the pseudonym "Pepper", a little nervous and a little disappointed, and thought that he could see Lu Lin when he came over, and the clinker received them with a vice president.

The group moved to the small screening room in the company, Wang Changtian's assistant was in charge of the whole projection, and Long Lin's people did not interfere.

The lights dimmed, the big screen lit up, and an anime movie that was about to create a miracle came into Gao Hongze's eyes.

After the whole film was over, the eyes were full of surprises, and he got up and looked at the ordinary-looking "Pepper" director, shook hands and said: "Yes, I believe that with the strength of Director Pepper and the name of Director Lu, this movie will achieve a good box office result!"

"Jiaozi" is also worried at the moment, thinking that he will be like Lu Lin, a film will sell billions of box office and become famous in one fell swoop.

But the closer I get to the release, the more bottomless I feel in my heart. In the past few days, I haven't even slept well at night, and sometimes I dream that "The Devil Boy Descends" has exploded at the box office, selling more than 4 billion, and I almost didn't wake up laughing.

But sometimes I dream that my reputation has collapsed, and I have lost all my money, and I am standing at the crossroads of my life at the age of forty, at a loss, and I don't know what I can do in the future.

Now that it's okay, Director Lu Lin is willing to be a producer, and the senior vice president of Longlin Pictures seems to be very optimistic about this film, and it can always exceed 500 million!

"Thank you, thank you!" Regarding Gao Hongze's recognition, the director of "Jiaozi" didn't know how to express his emotions for a while.

Wang Changtian said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, since you think the film is okay, let's discuss the details of the joint distribution together!"

"Okay, please here!" Gao Hongze brought the group back to the conference room, and after they were seated, Wang Changtian asked Gao Hongze what he had in mind.

The latter said: "The effect of this film is still very good, and some of the plots are very burning and funny." But the domestic animation film market has not been very good, and the previous champion was "Big Fish and Begonia", which was less than 600 million. Foreign ones are very popular, and "Zootopia" has 1.5 billion.

So our judgment is that it is better than "Big Fish and Begonia", but it is not as good as "Zootopia". In terms of box office, with the help of our Lu Dong's publicity, it is about between 8 and 1.2 billion, and it depends on market feedback!"

Wang Changtian nodded, feeling that the analysis was quite objective, the comic score of "Zootopia" was 9.2, and the praise of the whole network was only more than 1.5 billion box office. He didn't dare to think that "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends" could surpass "Zootopia". The main root cause is that the country is in a recession!

The big cooperation framework was set, the difference was mainly in the details, the two sides discussed and discussed, and they were busy for a short day, and when they were about to get off work in the evening, they did not draw up an agreement that was satisfactory to both parties.

In fact, the main disagreement lies in the determination of the impact that "Lu Lin's nominal producer" can have on the box office.

Gao Hongze believes that if our Director Lu is famous, the box office can rise by 300 million.

Wang Changtian argued with reason, saying that Lu Lin is famous, but now the box office of a movie still depends on the works and word of mouth. At most, it can rise by 100 million, and you want too much agency share.

In the end, the eldest king was half impatient, half joking: "Don't talk about it, if you don't give me 1.5 billion, you can take this film with a guarantee!"

Gao Hongze was stunned, and he was still like this, and he was busy talking about 1.5 billion, what are you kidding? Do you think it can surpass the praise of the whole network and the comic score of 9.2 "Crazy Zootopia"? If you want me to say, at most 800 million!

Wang Changtian said in his heart, "800 million, are all your various tricks just now shaking us?" But after thinking about it, they also often use these routines to fool others to increase the price of publicity and distribution costs.

So he calmed down and said, "Why don't you call Song Ge or Lu Lin, really, if there are 1.2 billion, I will guarantee it to you?"

Gao Hongze really wanted to say, what a joke. But after thinking about it, Lu Lin seemed to be quite optimistic about this film, and hesitated: "Okay, then I'll fight one." ”

Out of the conference room, I took my mobile phone and dialed Lu Lin's private number, and turned it off. went to dial the work number again, and Gao Wen quickly connected.

Hearing Gao Hongze's report, I told him to wait a minute, she had to wait for Lu Lin to finish shooting a shot before she could hand over the phone.

Gao Hongze waited here without mentioning it, but said that Gao Wen waited for more than five minutes, and when Lu Lin shouted a scene, he stepped forward and said: "Director Lu, Vice President Gao Hongze called and said that Wang Changtian wants us to release "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" guaranteed!"

This will be Lu Lin's turn to be surprised,

"What?"
