Chapter 12: Departure

It is difficult to distinguish between the producer and the distributor in the war of words, but with the 18-year environment, even if the film is bad, the box office of 620,000 in 5 days is indeed a little unreasonable.

However, the publisher is shameless, and no one can do anything.

Therefore, for the distribution of films, the distribution cost is secondary, and the focus is to choose the right time.

You can't fight with the distributor's own son!"Hello, I made a film and wanted to entrust Berner with a release. Jiang Bai said to the front desk on his chest.

The front desk handed over a form: "Then you need to fill out an application form." ”

"Okay. ”

Jiang Bai began to fill out the application form.

[Title: Slaying the Dragon]

[Director: Jiang Bai]

[Genre: Action Blockbuster]

[Investment: 100 million]

[Starring: Wu Jing]

……

"You're ......"

The front desk lady who watched him write the application form looked quite strange.

"Is there a problem?" Jiang Bai looked up.

The front desk shook his head: "No." ”

It's just that he is secretly complaining in his heart: a little-known director, two unknown leading actors, dare to say that he is shooting an action blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million?

Are you naΓ―ve, or do you think everyone else is stupid?

The world is developing so fast, and being a liar also requires professionalism and intelligence!

Jiang Bai naturally didn't know the complaint of the front desk lady, he filled out the application form very seriously, and then handed it over: "Fill it out." ”

"Okay, please wait, I'll hand over the application to the distribution department, and they'll invite you over to watch the film later. The front desk lady said businessmanlikely.

Jiang Bai nodded and said gratefully: "Hard work." ”

Berner Distribution.

Director Yu Xiaodong was sitting on a chair, reminiscing about the taste of giving the little star a play in the hotel last night.

Bernard started as a distributor and is the number one publishing company in the industry.

As the director of the distribution department, Yu Xiaodong is naturally a high-ranking position.

So don't talk about the little stars, even those first-line stars, he has also had a lot of intersections.

But even if he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has to admit that the little star last night was very talented.

If the other party works hard enough, there will definitely be a great future in this industry!

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door outside the office, interrupting Yu Xiaodong's thoughts, and he shouted a little unpleasantly: "Who's outside, come in!"

"Director Yu, a director sent a film over and wanted to entrust the company to distribute it. ”

The front desk lady walked in and placed a dragon-slaying application slip on his desk.

"Release a film?"

Yu Xiaodong was interested in the result application form, but he just glanced at it and quickly threw it back.

"What kind of thing, invest 100 million? Special effects blockbuster? If there is this kind of production in the industry, it will be hyped before the start of filming. This SB liar, who doesn't even have a little common sense, actually dares to come to our Berner to cheat?" Yu Xiaodong said disdainfully.

The front desk also felt that the data filled in by the other party was a bit exaggerated, but he still said with the last glimmer of hope: "Although it is a bit exaggerated, but now when making a movie, everyone is saying that since this movie dares to say 100 million, there may also be an investment of 30 or 40 million." Would you like to take a look at it?"

"Well, what you said makes sense, after all, you still have to rely on the film to speak, so put down the application form. Yu Xiaodong thought for a while and said.

The front desk said: "Then I told him to go to the screening room to watch the film?"

"Don't worry, let him wait first, I still have important things to deal with, and I'll let you know when it's over." ”

An unknown little director, plus an unknown starring actor, where is it important for him to recall the starlet?

Let's wait for now, and then we'll talk about it when we remember!

Jiang Bai had been waiting in the reception hall for three hours, drinking thirteen cups of tea, and going to the toilet seven times, seeing that it was almost noon, Berner's employees had already gone to the restaurant to eat, but still no one came to inform him to watch the film.

I asked the front desk again, but I was told that everyone in the distribution department was busy and couldn't care about watching his films.

He can go to dinner first and come back in the afternoon.

"Okay, goodbye!"

Jiang Bai was too lazy to talk nonsense, and walked out directly with the film.

Since his rebirth, it has been smooth sailing, but I really didn't expect that I would also be looked down on by dogs one day.

Fortunately, he was a man in two lives and had a peaceful mind, so that his emotions would not be affected.

But even so, he decided to give up on the Dragonslayer at the Bernard.

Although he knew that Berner would watch his film sooner or later, and once he watched it, no matter how unbelievable Berner was, he would understand the value of slaying dragons.

But he was no longer ready to give Berner that chance.

Emotional stability does not mean that there are no likes and dislikes in the heart, and what Bernard did today has cut off the possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

Face is given by others, and face is lost by oneself.

In the future, when Berner is slapped in the face, don't complain, everything is to blame!

Leaving the Berner reception hall, Jiang Bai began to think about where he was going.

As a special effects blockbuster, the preferred distribution companies are still the Big Four.

Because only these four companies can maximize the potential of dragon slaying.

Huayi and Optical Fiber are not considered, both of them are private companies, and they have released a number of self-made films this year.

Surrender the dragon slayer to them, and the consequences are really unpredictable.

On the contrary, Zhongying can try his luck.

Although China Film has also released many films, they are state-owned enterprises in the end, and they do not all depend on profits.

Compared with how much profit they can make from shooting and distributing films, they care more about the development of the domestic film and television industry.

Therefore, if the quality of the dragon slaying can really impress China Film, they may not make room for the dragon slaying in the schedule of their own films.

In the reception hall of China Film, he was still filling in the application form, and Jiang Bai directly vacated the investment amount this time.

"Why don't you fill in the investment amount, sir?" asked the front desk.

Jiang Bai smiled faintly: "You can watch the film first, after watching it, how much investment do you think it should be, that is, how much investment." ”

"Hey, this gentleman is very confident. A middle-aged man who happened to be passing by couldn't help but smile when he heard Jiang Bai's words.

"Hello chairman!"

When the front desk saw the middle-aged man, he immediately shouted nervously.

"Are you...... Han Dong?"

Jiang Bai was stunned, he didn't expect such a coincidence, he actually met Han Sanping, the chairman of China Film and known as the third master, in the hall of China Film!

"It's me, sir, who is here to release the film?" said Han Sanping with a smile.

Jiang Bai nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Mr. Na's film is a big hit. ”

Han Sanping didn't communicate much with Jiang Bai, left a blessing and left.

Exchange and friendship are always based on equality and mutual assistance.

A little director who jumped out of the wild road, and a big man who is in charge of the domestic film and television industry, the two are not on the same level at all.

Not to mention equality and mutual assistance, even if they meet by chance, what kind of sparks can burst out?
