The Li Yibai that Li Qiuting saw was a little different from before.

Now Li Yibai can be described as proud, dressed like a successful person, and is no longer as casual as before.

"The Year in a Hurry" has only been released for less than a month, and the box office has exceeded the 200 million mark, which is even more fierce than Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting expected.

With a production and distribution cost of more than 20 million, getting such a box office has caused quite a stir inside and outside the industry.

In this way, it is inevitable to postpone the painting.

Indeed, the key party has issued a notice about the key extension of the film "Hurry That Year", announcing that the key has been extended to April.

This means that "The Year in a Hurry", which was released during the Spring Festival, will be screened for two months.

Generally, film distribution companies will sign film distribution contracts with movie theaters, and the release of movies is basically one month. If the attendance of a movie is quite low within a week or three, cinemas and cinemas can make their own decisions.

But if the movie is good at the box office, postponement of the painting also abounds.

Key extensions are nothing new, and in recent years there have been an increasing number of films applying for extension keys despite a good box office response.

Extending the screening period, in the final analysis, is the film's attempt to hit a higher box office.

What exactly is a key? What kind of movie can be extended with a key?

The key can be likened to "the key that corresponds to a movie when it is shown on a projector". In order to protect the copyright security of the film, the theater chain obtains an encrypted digital copy of the file before the release of the film, the so-called key.

The key can only be obtained during the public screening, which not only ensures the realization of normal screening, but also avoids the possibility of piracy due to early leakage of the film source.

The key contains the schedule information, and it comes with a time attribute to control the release time of the film in theaters, and the key validity period of most films is currently one month.

The key extension needs to be communicated by the distributor, the producer and the key party, and after being approved by the national press and publication, the key will be remade with an additional extension service fee.

As for what conditions a film can apply for a key extension, it is mainly based on its performance in the market - as long as the film sells well in the market, the film copyright can apply to the key producer to remake the key for the extension.

In the age of film copies, the concept of extended screening is the same as remastering keys in today's digital age. When the "popularity" of a film still maintains a good momentum after the usual one-month screening period, the filmmaker often hopes to extend the "vitality" of the film by postponing the screening.

Compared to North America, which has the most mature film market in the world, extended screenings mean that a film has a good reputation and box office performance, and theaters are willing to arrange more screening space for it.

The movie directed by himself surprised everyone at the box office, and Li Yibai now has a straight waist.

If it is postponed for another month, it is not surprising that the box office will break 300 million.

Such an achievement, in a youth film, can be regarded as a great director's achievement.

Wherever he goes now, Li Yibai is regarded as a guest.

For actors, this is a noble person who can make himself popular.

For investors, this is a VIP who can make a lot of money for themselves.

"Yibai, aren't you thinking about coming over?" Li Qiuting got straight to the point, she had already mentioned it on the phone, and she was no longer secretive.

"Sister Ting. Li Yibai was a little embarrassed: "I think this place is very suitable for me." ”

Li Qiuting was silent, and asked half-loudly: "Then how about coming over and helping us Boyu Entertainment direct this movie?" Just this one, you are now a celebrity in your company, and it should be no problem to help direct this one." ”

Li Qiuting doesn't expect Li Yibai to come over, just direct it, Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian of Boyu Entertainment need to take them, they haven't had a chance to enter the mature film crew to hone their training, and directing movies now is very risky.

"Sister Ting, you make me very embarrassed. Li Yibai said helplessly: "The year in a hurry" has achieved good results, and the company has given me several scripts to choose from, and it is difficult for me to choose." The most important thing is that if you ask me to shoot for you now, the company will definitely not agree. ”

Li Qiuting stared at Li Yibai: "What if our Boyu Entertainment can convince your company to lend you?"

"Sister Ting!" Li Yibai's face changed slightly.

The script given by Chen Ziang is good, but the cost budget is less than that of "The Year in a Hurry".

Li Yibai didn't want to pick it up.

He's going to go higher now, and he's going to get bigger.

Li Qiuting didn't speak, staring at Li Yibai.

"Sister Ting, don't embarrass me, okay?" Li Yibai is not very good at refusing people, so he has been dragging Li Qiuting away.

Li Qiuting sighed, sure enough, but she was still unwilling to say: "Yibai, "The Year in a Hurry" can be so popular, don't you see the reality clearly?"

Li Yibai frowned slightly.

Li Qiuting continued: "Without the endorsement of me and Ziang, without this song "The Year in a Hurry", where did you get the inspiration? I'll tell you the truth, I have contacted Mr. Wei of your company, he is an understanding person, and told me that as long as you nod, he is willing to return this favor. ”

Li Yibai's face was a little ugly.

Li Qiuting laughed at herself: "I still treat you as a good friend, but the result is that your boss agrees, but you don't." ”

Li Yibai's face turned red, and he turned annoyed and angry: "Li Qiuting, don't go too far, is it fun to be so funny?"

Li Qiuting's face turned cold, she got up and picked up her bag, and left without looking back.

Goodbye to the rivers and lakes, it's like a stranger.

She saw Li Yibai and made a final invitation.

However, Li Yibai has made up his mind.

She was a little disheartened.

What a friend, it's not reliable at all.

In business, he is more affectionate, and he is willing to return the favor of Li Qiuting and Chen Ziang.

But as a result, something went wrong with the "friend".

"The most poisonous woman's heart!" After Li Qiuting left, Li Yibai roared, he was tested out of "love and righteousness" tonight, and he was ashamed and annoyed.

Li Qiuting returned to the hotel room arranged for her by the crew, and called Chen Ziang while drinking: "Li Yibai's side, there is no drama, let's find another way out." ”

She was very uncomfortable.

Chen Ziang heard that Li Qiuting's mood was not quite right, and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll find another way." ”

He thought that Li Qiuting felt guilty because she hadn't made any contributions since joining Boyu Entertainment, but in fact, he didn't know that Li Qiuting knew that it was impossible to dig Li Yibai, so he went behind his back and negotiated with Li Yibai's owner about leasing Li Yibai.

As long as Li Yibai agrees, he can be rented.

However, Li Yibai disagreed.

Li Qiuting felt very uncomfortable and betrayed by her friends.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it. Wine can release the fragility and true feelings in people's hearts, Li Qiuting drank wine and couldn't help crying.

Chen Ziang was taken aback, why did he cry, not so much.

"Don't cry, it's all with me. Chen Ziang hurriedly comforted.
