Chapter 305: Reality
When Lu Yang's first chapter was about to be coded, he received a call from Wang Lin, and as soon as Lu Yang pressed the call button, Wang Lin's laughter came from the phone: "Haha! Wenda, you are too coquettish! You actually sold the game adaptation rights so quickly! Okay! In this way, your fame will be even greater! When the "Gate of Rebirth" we invested in is released, it will definitely attract more box office! Speaking of which, cooperating with Wenda, I am taking a big advantage! The movie hasn't been promoted yet, and I guess there are quite a few fans of your book who are looking forward to the release of this movie! I now understand why those investors always like to find famous screenwriters, famous directors, and those big-name stars to play their own investment movies! Hehe, this has a celebrity effect, and the box office has a foundation before the movie is released! Haha!"
Being complimented by others, the mood is always happy, Lu Yang smiled and said: "You have won the award! I am also a little famous in the online literature circle, compare me with those big directors and big stars, you think too highly of me!"
Wang Lin: "Wenda! You don't have to be presumptuous! I have good news for you! Frog and I have been editing the trailer of the movie recently, and we plan to use the trailer to warm up on the Internet before the movie is released! Well, by the way, we may also do some advertising on several TV stations! By the way, do you have any good ideas to help us promote? Speaking of creativity, you should be better than all of us, right?"
Creative with the message?
Lu Yang touched the stubble on his chin, thinking of those crazy trailers and trailers in a few years, the trailers in a few years are not as regular as they are now, a movie is a trailer. In Lu Yang's memory, before the release of the second part of "Ip Man", there were only various versions of the trailer. It seems that seven or eight of the first ten have been launched successively, starting from the post-production of the movie, and they have been constantly launching one version of the trailer after another to the outside world, until the eve of the movie's release, it has always been on the Internet, and almost one-third or even more of the plot of the movie has been edited into a trailer. First put it out, though, in the end this behavior. has been criticized by many people, but it is undeniable that the box office of this movie has indeed been hyped up because of this.
Lu Yang's investment in this "Gate of Rebirth" is not for any art. Making money is the number one thing. At that moment, Lu Yang told Wang Lin about this idea.
Wang Lin: "Wouldn't it? Wenda! Cut ten or eight trailers? No one has done this, right? Besides, so many trailers, even if all of them are released on those video websites on the Internet, I'm afraid that one million dollars for publicity is not enough!"
Lu Yang said with a smile: "One million is not enough, we will invest more! Post-publicity, sometimes more important than pre-shooting, we can't lose this step!"
Wang Lin hesitated for a while. Only then did he say, "Okay! Since Wen Da wants to do this, then do it! Anyway, I have some pocket money in hand now." When the time comes, I will increase as much investment as you want!"
Lu Yang: "Well, don't be afraid to spend money on publicity! I can add another million! Our movie has no big director and no big star, if you are reluctant to spend money on publicity, just wait for the blood to return!"
After Wang Lin made a decision, his answer was very simple.
"Ok! Even if you lose, it's not bad thanks to this million!"
Lu Yang was speechless when he heard this, and before the movie was edited, Wang Lin thought about whether he would lose anything.
When she put down the phone, Tong Yaqian was looking at him with a smile, and when she saw Lu Yang's eyes looking over, Tong Yaqian said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a big tyrant! As soon as you open your mouth, you can add an additional million investment! One million is no different from a hundred yuan in the eyes of your big tyrant now?"
Lu Yang walked over with a smile, put his arm around Tong Yaqian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm afraid that I will lose the money I paid to buy you a villa?"
Tong Yaqian: "Go! Who wants your villa? I don't care if you add a few million! I'm just talking!"
Lu Yang smiled and kissed her, and Tong Yaqian pushed him away.
Lu Yang smiled and returned to his seat, and did not immediately start to continue coding, but was thinking about how to use the game adaptation fee this time if he continued to add another million?
How do you feel that you are earning more and more money, but you are getting less and less to spend?
After thinking for a while, Lu Yang temporarily put down this matter and continued to code words, just like he said to Wang Lin just now, this movie has no big investment, big directors, and no big stars, if the publicity is not in place, I'm afraid I really have to wait for the loss of money!
The script of this movie was written by Lu Yang himself, and he knew that it was not very good, because when he wrote it, he had no intention of participating in the investment, just to give his first die-hard fans a little return.
Therefore, I did not use the few small-budget movies with the box office against the sky in my memory.
In Lu Yang's original prediction, according to this script, if the director's skills are enough, it should be no problem to make a few millions, and it is basically impossible to make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
If the director's skills are not enough, it is possible to save the capital or even lose money.
After all, whether a movie is good or bad, the script can only play a part of the role, and the key is still up to the director.
For the same script, the quality of the finished products shot by different directors is absolutely different.
When "The Gate of Rebirth" was filmed, Lu Yang went to watch it twice, and from Lu Yang's point of view, Director Dai Qingwa's level is okay, and the pictures shot are not like inferior videotapes, so they shouldn't be at a loss.
This is also one of the main reasons why Lu Yang took the initiative to invest more in publicity.
A movie that shouldn't lose money, after doing a good job of publicity, there should be no problem in making a small profit.
……
The next day, Lu Yang went to work as usual, walking on the campus in the early morning, and met a few teachers on the way, Lu Yang found that these teachers were very enthusiastic today, so he took the initiative to greet him from afar, and his eyes seemed to be a little different from before.
When I entered the office, it was the same, as if I woke up, everyone became enthusiastic, and a male teacher in the same office saw Lu Yang come in and said, "Ah, Teacher Lu is still working today?
Another female teacher who had said a lot of bad things about Lu Yang behind her back before also laughed and said, "Teacher Lu, such a big happy event, do you want to treat you? Four-star or five-star?"
Shao Dahai, who hadn't taken the initiative to talk to Lu Yang for a long time, also smiled and said, "Lu Yang! We are classmates and roommates!
Xu Heng: "Lu Yang! I know you're not a stingy person!"
Already one step ahead, Tong Yaqian, who was sitting behind the desk, didn't speak, but watched Lu Yang answer with a little sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Lu Yang may not know that there are many faces of those people before, but she has seen a lot.
Lu Yang smiled and said: "Money, I let it be transferred into my parents' account, so much money is put on me, K City is so messy, I'm afraid I can't go back, it's no problem to have a treat, but I can only be in the cafeteria!
"Ah, won't you? If you make two million, you will invite us to eat in the cafeteria?" the female teacher exclaimed, her face was disappointed, and the reaction of the others was not much better, this shook her head and said, the canteen is still forgotten, how much can you eat if you die?
The one said, "The cafeteria is the cafeteria!
Xu Heng said: "No, Lu Yang? Don't you usually have a lot of manuscript fees? It's okay to have a big meal?"
As soon as Xu Heng said this, the eyes of several people in the office lit up again, and they looked at Lu Yang one by one, Lu Yang shook his head with a smile, and said, "The manuscript fee has also been sent home, and I can only afford to invite the canteen, do you want to eat?"
Several people became disappointed again, and the female teacher pursed her lips and muttered: "What a slam on the door!"
Xu Heng: "Is it a real canteen?" Then I want to eat beef and chicken legs!"
The others all glanced at him with disdain, Lu Yang nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes!"
These people in the office, except for Tong Yaqian, Lu Yang didn't have a good impression, and they still wanted him to have a big meal?
Lu Yang has always had a clear character of love and hate, he will not be stingy with those who are good to him, and if he wants to take advantage of those who are not good to him, he will seem very stingy.
As for the beef and chicken thighs that Xu Heng wanted, how much money could he eat in the cafeteria? The more he ate, the more Xu Heng would be looked down upon by his colleagues.
……
Lu Yang hadn't been sitting in the office for a few minutes when Bi Dongxue's voice came from the door: "Lu Yang! Principal Sun asked you to go to his office! Hurry up!"
"Oh!
Lu Yang agreed, came to Vice President Sun's office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Vice President Sun's smiling face.
"Sit, Mr. Lu!"
In addition to Vice President Sun in the office, there is also Vice President Lu, and Vice President Lu's wife Liang Hongyun is also there.
Vice President Sun and Vice President Lu both sat on the sofa in front of the desk, Liang Hongyun leaned on the edge of the desk with a smile, Vice President Sun shouted to Lu Yang to sit, where can Lu Yang sit?
Lu Yang was speechless in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Eh! The principal has something to do, just give orders! I have been sitting a little too much in the past two days, but I still stand comfortably!"
Lu Yang said a word, and in the office, Vice President Sun and Liang Hongyun both laughed out loud, and even Vice President Lu, who usually does not smile, had a little smile on the corner of his mouth.
After laughing, Vice President Sun nodded Lu Yang with his finger and said with a smile: "You! You can talk! I called you here this time! It's not that I want to tell you anything, but we all heard that when we were about to get off work yesterday, someone from a game company came to you to buy the copyright, right? Last night, in the family building, several teachers who read novels spread the news all over the matter! They said that you sold a copyright for two million! You have more than we can earn in several lifetimes with a single book! I called you here this time! I just want to talk to you! I don't mean anything else!"
Liang Hongyun interjected with a smile: "Xiao Lu Yang, you suddenly made so much money, do you want to treat yourself?"
Vice President Sun and Vice President Lu both smiled and looked at it, happy to see it.
"Of course, where the leaders want to eat, I will invite you!" (To be continued......)
