The quality of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubted, but it is not clear whether "Prison Storm" is good or bad.

But judging from the other party's luxurious lineup and tens of millions of investments more than "Infernal Affairs", "Prison Storm" is by no means an ordinary person.

Yi Shuihan never dared to underestimate the original movies of this world, just like the "Shocking Killing" starring himself, even if it is not as good as "Infernal Affairs", but the difference will not be too far.

All he has to be prepared to go all out, otherwise if he is not careful, he will lose all the games.

Yi Shuihan, who returned home, was quietly cultivating, but he had been paying attention to the post-work of "Infernal Affairs".

After chatting with Wang Jie about his plans for the near future, Yi Shuihan put down the soft music and forced himself to sleep.

This can be regarded as the sequelae of playing the role of Chen Yongren, because this role is an undercover agent, and it is difficult to sleep in a tense and depressed state every day.

Yi Shuihan, who has not completely detached himself from the influence of this role, naturally has this symptom.

However, because I am in the most relaxed home, this symptom has gradually lessened.

The completion of "Infernal Affairs" did not cause any fluctuations in the outside world, and many media people didn't even know that there was such a thing, but the completion of "Prison Storm" a week apart caused quite a stir.

"The most anticipated action blockbuster at the end of the year: "Prison Storm" was completed in Guishan yesterday! Director Liu Haoyu announced that all the samples have passed the review and will enter the editing and dubbing stage next Monday, and it is expected to meet everyone at the end of the year!

"Director Yoo Haoyu's new work "Prison Storm" is coming, with many actors and stars!"

"Whether "Prison Storm" can become a big winner at the box office this year, we will wait and see at the end of the year.

All kinds of comments have set off a climax again, and the movie "Prison Storm" has inevitably attracted much attention.

It seems that no one has forgotten that a week ago, there was also a crew called Infernal Affairs that announced the completion of the film, but the other party's press conference was not held.

"I'm really willing to spend the money!" Yi Shuihan said with emotion, if there is no profit, if there is no benefit, even if the director is famous, those media will not work hard to promote this movie.

After communicating with Zheng Liaoyuan, the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" also began to keep up gradually, but one step at a time is slow, and after being pressed at the beginning, this momentum can't be recovered.

What's more, in terms of surface strength, "Infernal Affairs" is also inferior to "Prison Storm".

At this stage of waiting for the release of the movie, Yi Shuihan can't be idle, because it is the investor, they still have to find a hand to prepare for the release.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and in terms of negotiation, Zheng Liaoyuan is definitely more professional than Yi Shuihan, which can be seen from the operation of several movies.

The film can't just be filmed, it has to be screened, which requires the work of the distributor. The distributor makes copies, applies for keys, schedules, sends copies to theaters, advertises, buys advertisements, negotiates account sharing ratios, and signs contracts with theaters.

In addition, dozens of people should be sent to cinemas across the country to do activities, do publicity, set advertising spaces in cinemas, watch pomp, do scrutiny, and so on.

These jobs are all professional work, and generally the production company does not do it, and the distributor does this work to make money from the box office, and finally the film is sold out, and the investor deserves a part of it to the distributor as an agency fee.

At the beginning, the studio's "Diary from the Past" charged 12% of the distribution fee.

Before obtaining the distribution qualification and building your own channel, it is inevitable to find other distribution companies.

Film production needs to give up part of the profits, and film distribution needs to give up some of the profits, which is why Zheng Liao originally wanted to set up a film and television company.

After setting up a film and television company, he was able to grasp all these profits in his hands.

"What do you think?" asked in the office, Zheng Liaoyuan handed Yi Shuihan a cup of hot tea.

Yi Shuihan thought for a moment and said: "Our previous "Diary from the Past" was distributed by Huaying Company, and they have their own independent theater chain, although the distribution fee of 12% is a bit high, but it can still be discussed.

The Chinese film star Meimei, which was just integrated and established at the beginning of the year, has been very strong recently, and basically has a cooperative relationship with the cinema chain in big cities.

Yongcheng Media ...... They are a group company that integrates production and distribution, and if there is no such thing, there is still the possibility of negotiation, and now, we don't have to think about it.

There is also the Kyoto New Film Association, which is also a good choice. ”

Zheng Liaoyuan thought for a while and said: "Huaying Company is a good choice, this is a time-honored brand, there are countless records of painting in the country, and we have cooperated before, although it is only a small business, the Chinese film star Meimei has just been established, and the experience may not be as good as Huaying."

And the Kyoto New Film Association has the background of a bigwig in the financial circle, and I am afraid that it is the same for the review and division of the new film. You also know that connections are more important than money in this circle......

However, the current situation of "Infernal Affairs" is very bad, everyone in the circle knows that Poseidon Group's "Prison Storm" is singing against us, judging from the previous competition, you don't have to guess that they want to be released on the same day as us, but they will definitely not choose to premiere in the same theater as us, no one is optimistic about us now, everyone is paying attention to "Prison Storm", even if we have 100% confidence that we will not lose, but the CEOs of the theater will not think so!"

"That's really a problem!" Yi Shuihan said with a frown.

This makes it more difficult for them to find distribution companies, either choosing smaller theatrical releases or increasing distribution fees to reduce their risk.

"But it's hard to say anything at the moment, I've dealt with the people of Huaying Company first, let's make an appointment to test it!"

Yi Shuihan nodded, and at present, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones.

This is also the reason why the studio's network channels are not strong, otherwise it is easy to find out the bottom of those distribution companies.

Zheng Liaoyuan's work efficiency is extremely fast, and in the evening, a table dinner is held in a high-end restaurant.

"Mr. Zheng, long time no see!" A man with a fat head and big ears and a sly glint in his eyes walked over with a smile on his face, shook hands with Zheng Liaoyuan, turned his head and smiled at Yi Shuihan and said, "This is Mr. Yi, the young man is promising." ”

Since the other party is an executive of the distribution company, he arranges which movies to be painted on what schedule and when, and he is naturally very familiar with Yi Shuihan.

"Let me introduce you, this is the general manager of the marketing department of Huaying Media, Chen Guang. Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen is good. Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
