This is a small screening room in Yi Shuihan's studio, which is specially used for reviewing and watching films.

The normally empty room was now full of people, each with a focused face and staring intently at the big screen.

At this time, it was the internal preview of the film "Diary from the Past".

First, let Yi Shuihan and others take a look at the results of this film, and second, to see if there are any inappropriate places that need to be modified.

On the screen, Zhao Jiewen, the protagonist played by Lai Dingrong, opened the diary with a heavy and sad expression.

The pen he was holding trembled a little, and he stopped for a moment, and wrote in his diary: "I saw you today, you are twenty years old, you are in good spirits, you don't look like you have been sick at all, we talked a lot......"

As he wrote, he held back his sadness and tears.

On that day three years ago, the girl sat on a bench and looked at the handwriting on the diary that was automatically displayed and blurred by tears, tears silently running down her cheeks......

At this time, Yi Shuihan and others, who were watching the movie, had a faint sadness in their hearts, a little heavy and a little moved.

Lai Dingrong, who plays the protagonist, and Dai Xiaomu, who plays the heroine, both have ordinary faces, but it is this ordinariness that gives them a deeper sense of substitution.

At the end of the movie, the protagonist Zhao Jiewen sat on a bench in the hospital, his face was calm, but his eyes unconsciously showed a look of reminiscence.

The film ended here, but Yi Shuihan and others were still melancholy in their hearts.

The picture of this movie is mild, with warm colors, and the soundtrack is also soothing and pleasant, which complements the plot in the movie.

Although Lai Dingrong and Dai Xiaomu are not famous, their acting skills are very good, and their roles as the male and female protagonists are just right.

It's both infectious and not too flashy, and it's like telling a story, and people are unconsciously indulged in it.

It can be said that the effect of this movie has met Yi Shuihan's expected requirements.

"How is it, Akan?" Director Xu Minghui stepped forward and asked with some eagerness, he had worked hard for this movie for countless days and nights, and naturally hoped to be recognized by Yi Shuihan and others.

Their opinions are largely related to the promotion and release of this film.

Although he can get his remuneration whether this movie is a big hit in the future, who doesn't want his work to have better results and be seen by more people.

Moreover, if this film has achieved results, his value will also rise in the future.

"Very well filmed, impeccable, we will arrange for this movie to be released as soon as possible, thank you, Director Xu!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile.

Xu Minghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Yi Shuihan is just an actor, but at this time his identity is an investor, and he can be recognized by him, so I think this film will also be taken seriously.

Zheng Liaoyuan and Xu Minghui exchanged views and discussed the promotion of the follow-up film.

And the two protagonists, Lai Dingrong and Dai Xiaomu, found Yi Shuihan to talk.

Although Yi Shuihan is not a big name at this time, anyone can see his future prospects.

It doesn't hurt to get to know each other after all.

Yi Shuihan watched the two deliberately make friends, and he also felt a little emotional in his heart.

Before he knew it, he had already established himself in the entertainment industry......

After the test screening, Zheng Liaoyuan accelerated the pace to negotiate with major distributors.

Although Yi Shuihan Studio is well-known in the field of TV dramas, it does not have any say in the field of film.

In front of those film and television groups, the studio is not even qualified to bargain.

In front of those giants, Zheng Liaoyuan received a lot of cold reception, questioning, and disdain.

Come to think of it, there are too few literary films like this with small investment and small audiences that can produce results.

It is very likely that this movie will be removed from the shelves for one day after the ratings are bleak.

With this effort, they might as well spend more time on those commercial blockbusters.

But Zheng Liaoyuan was not discouraged in the slightest, the situation was like this, he had to swallow his anger, but one day he would let those people beg him in turn.

Of course, finding a publisher isn't a no-brainer.

Yi Shuihan Studio's reputation is still good in the industry, and several distributors have watched this film with great interest.

The film purchase manager and reviewer are undoubtedly vicious-eyed, and the quality of the film can be known at a glance.

This is undoubtedly a high-quality movie, both the plot and the characters are outstanding, especially the novel setting, which is even more fascinating.

But the type and style of the film made them hesitate, this is undoubtedly a niche literary film with limited commercial value.

There are also distributors who proposed to invest 13 million to buy this film, but they were vetoed by Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan.

After difficult negotiations and negotiations, this "Diary from the Past" was finally distributed by China Film Group, charging 12% of the box office distribution fee and 3% of the film scheduling rate of theaters in 20 first-tier cities.

And the film screening time is scheduled in the morning or after 10 o'clock in the evening.

The 3% scheduling rate is not low, and many movies that are about to be taken off the shelves are more than this scheduling rate, and the most intensive viewing time is from 6 to 10 o'clock in the evening, and after 10 o'clock or in the morning is not a high-frequency viewing period.

Of course, this condition is very poor, but at this time, Zheng Liaoyuan has no room for bargaining.

"3%......" Yi Shuihan said after a moment of silence, "This film scheduling rate is also appropriate......

"Yes, as long as the follow-up attendance rate is high, we still have a chance," Zheng Liaoyuan said firmly: "It's still the same sentence, we have to be stable." ”

In fact, it is not that the higher the film schedule, the better, because if there are too many screenings at the beginning of the screening, the average attendance rate is insufficient, and the direct consequence is that the confidence of the theater manager decreases, and then the number of screenings on the second day is reduced.

And if the number of screenings is guaranteed, the attendance rate of the film is quite high, resulting in the phenomenon that it is difficult to find a ticket, and the theater manager will increase the number of screenings.

One increase and one decrease, which seems to be ordinary, is actually very different, because reducing the number of screenings means that the popularity of the film is going down, and it is often unstoppable and plummeting.

Increasing the number of shows is that the sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher, and the difficulty of getting a ticket often creates an illusion that "this film is not good", and everyone is easy to rush up.

is like the movie "Diary from the Past", if it is arranged with a film scheduling rate of more than 10%, Yi Shuihan can even imagine the dismal attendance rate......

That's why Yi Shuihan said that the 3% film scheduling rate is appropriate, and the final result depends on the box office.

"When will it be released?" Yi Shuihan remembered this question.

"The 18th of this month!" Zheng Liaoyuan blurted out, he already knew about this.

"Let's wait and see......"
