Chapter 69: Troubles
"Yes, but she's just an illegitimate daughter of the Zhang family. She came to me today, talked to me about this, and also determined the box office share of "Immortals Are Crazy", didn't say anything else, didn't she call you back?"
After Zhang Han listened to Lu Yi's words, he was a little curious. It is said that Zhang Xiaoya is more familiar with Lu Yi, shouldn't she call Lu Yi back, why did she find herself first?
"No, I guess something might have happened to her. You make sure about our share first, and if that's okay, don't worry about the rest. She didn't tell us anything, and we didn't know what she wanted to do. ”
Huayi does not belong to the Zhang family, which Lu Yi knows very well. He felt that Zhang Xiaoya might seem to have a problem with the Zhang family, otherwise Zhang Xiaoya would not have chosen to work hard by herself.
It's just that Zhang Xiaoya didn't tell Lu Yi that there are some things that Lu Yi can't do. Perhaps, in Zhang Xiaoya's eyes, Lu Yi does not have the capital to conflict with the Zhang family now.
"Your share is fine, but I'll leave the company after a while, so you'll have to talk to the new head of the company about the next film. ”
After chatting with Zhang Han, it didn't take long for Zhang Xiaoya to call Lu Yi, her tone was very flat, and she didn't say anything about what happened to her, let alone about her illegitimate daughter.
Lu Yi tried it, but Zhang Xiaoya didn't say anything, she looked like she was doing business, which made Lu Yi a little confused, what was this woman thinking in her heart.
It seems that a few years ago, Zhang Xiaoya was still talking to herself about the need for more cooperation in the future. How did everything change after the Chinese New Year?
There was a change on Zhang Xiaoya's side, which affected things on Lu Yi's side, originally, he still wanted to hand over his new movie to Zhang Xiaoya for distribution, but now I'm afraid it won't work.
The world is changeable, and some things are more reliable than relying on oneself to count on others.
If you think about it this way, in the future, your own film and television company will have to make up for its shortcomings in the distribution, otherwise, you will have to be controlled by others after all.
After chatting with Zhang Xiaoya for a while, Zhang Xiaoya hung up the phone. What happened to Zhang Xiaoya, Lu Yi didn't know, but Zhang Xiaoya's appearance gave him a feeling of being caught off guard.
The movie in hand is about to be made, and the later distribution is now having to consider finding someone to cooperate again, which is not in time, and Lu Yi is not clear.
In addition, although Lu Yi didn't show off and speak loudly after the movie became popular, there are still many people in the film and television industry who don't like him.
He wants to find someone to release his new movie again, and it is a pet movie that is not following the trend, and it is hard to say whether anyone is willing to release it to him. Even if there is, I'm afraid it's not so convenient in terms of cooperation.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi felt a little depressed, and then wanted to smoke a cigarette and think about it quietly.
It was only when he reached out and touched his body that he suddenly remembered that he had not smoked since he came home, where was there a cigarette on his body?
But I don't have any cigarettes on my body, but I have them at home. Lu Yi's father doesn't smoke, but during the Chinese New Year, the family bought a cigarette to entertain guests, and there were still some cigarettes left.
Lu Yi took one out, then found a fire everywhere and lit one for himself, and sat outside the door to ponder about it.
"What's wrong? Why did you start smoking? I remember when I was in school, you didn't smoke. ”
Ning Hao was originally pondering the script of the movie that Lu Yi was going to shoot in the room, this was the first time he saw the official script, and it was just what Lu Yi roughly told him before.
After reading it, he felt that this story was very interesting, so he wanted to talk to Lu Yi. As soon as he came out, he happened to see Lu Yi smoking a cigarette and thinking about something, and asked curiously.
Lu Yi's situation is rarely seen, and it is estimated that he has encountered some problems.
"The distributor I was working with was in a bit of a situation, so if my new film was to be released after it was made, I would have to find another distribution company, and I was worried about that. ”
Ning Hao didn't smoke either, Lu Yi knew that he still lost one for him, and then the two of them were smoking cigarettes unfamiliarly, while discussing the problems Lu Yi was facing now.
"Now in the domestic film and television industry, the top level is the eight old film and television companies. Working with them is the most beneficial for us. After all, they have a lot of resources and a good foundation. The second is those specialized distribution companies, they can survive the suppression of the eight major film and television companies, and their strength is not bad......"
Ning Hao also knows a lot about the domestic film and television industry, and after knowing Lu Yi's troubles, he began to analyze it.
Generally speaking, the eight major film and television companies invest and distribute their own films, and rarely distribute other films. However, those specialized distribution companies are different, they specialize in distribution, but it is not easy to cooperate with them.
These companies have dedicated reviewers who are willing to cooperate only after seeing the parent film and feeling that a certain film is worth releasing before they are willing to cooperate.
It was for this reason that Lu Yi ran into a wall in front of these companies. Because those reviewers didn't even watch the content of the movie, they felt that the movie he made at the beginning had no distribution value just by name, so they rejected him directly.
But now, if Lu Yi wants to find these companies to distribute it, they should look at Lu Yi's movie before they evaluate whether the movie is worth releasing or not.
"Actually, there is another way to try, which is to buy a medium-sized distribution company directly, keep the employees of this company, and then hand over the new film to this company to operate. ”
After listening to Ning Hao's words, Lu Yi thought for a while, and then gave a different idea.
It is more secure to find someone else to issue it, after all, it is still controlled by others, or it is better to hold it in your own hands.
Lu Yi still remembers very well that he once hit a wall and said that if he becomes a big director in the future, he will let those companies who have refused him call him father.
If you can't be better than the eight major film and television companies, it's not so easy to get them to call Dad.
Although this was just bragging in anger at the beginning, Lu Yi still wanted to realize this dream in his heart.
"We don't know much about this, so we can only think about it slowly, even if we acquire other issuing companies, at the beginning, I am afraid that the effect will be far worse than finding someone to cooperate. ”
After thinking about it, Ning Hao carefully gave a suggestion.
He still thinks it's better to work with other publishing companies, after all, that's what others are good at.
What they're good at is making movies, and it's good to make good blockbuster movies.
