Section 506: Part I
The films directed by Duane himself basically have a box office of about 2 billion, which is still at the height of Duan's popularity, and the 4 movies they are talking about now Duane are just hanging the name of a producer, and they even dream that they can have a box office of 2 billion?
It's really crazy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
All of them are newcomers, and the average production time for each film is less than 2 months, and there is not much left of the good schedule in the second half of the year...... As long as a person who knows a little bit about the industry market, he will not think that such a movie can have a box office of 2 billion.
Even if they are under the name of Duane producers.
Due to the global export of Chinese film culture, which has led to a global Chinese fever, Richard, as the CEO of a large company that positions China as a major market, has also learned a little Chinese.
In the face of what Duane just said, he only had one thing to say.
Mom sells batches.
Well, this sentence taught to him by his Chongqing Chinese teacher he feels is very applicable to the current occasion.
"Be careful!"
When Duane saw the female translator fall, he made a gesture to get up and help her, but the female translator had already taken the first step to get up on her own. So Duane sat down again, and asked the female translator with concern, "Are you okay?"
His smile was very gentle and warm, and his eyes were full of electricity, especially under the bonus of his handsome face, which was multiplied by the power of his handsome face, and the female translator was a little dazed for a while, and lowered her head a little shyly, and whispered: "It's okay......" I have completely forgotten who made her so ugly just now.
"Good, good. ”
Richard still didn't say that cordial greeting after all, and the three words "Mom sells batches" were stiffly held back, and continued to smile, "Director Du, your idea is very good, but your time is running out, and there doesn't seem to be too much good schedule for the second half of the year." ”
Needless to say, the movie itself is not favored, just by mentioning a schedule issue, he can puncture Duane's mouth full of running trains.
Maybe it was because Duane completely messed up the rhythm of the conversation, maybe it was because what Duane said was too exaggerated and outrageous, anyway, Richard really thought about the possibility of this topic with Duane for a while.
Hearing the words of the highly professional female translator timidly translated, Duane glanced at Richard, smiled, and apologized again and again: "Oops, I forgot about the schedule." ”
Sure enough, it's just running the train with his mouth full, and he will be cowardly when it comes to specific aspects.
Just when several people present thought so, Duane said: "These movies must not be on the pile," as for why they can't be on the pile, he didn't say, Richard didn't ask, everyone knows it, this is a simple common-sense problem - the market digestion capacity for a period of time is limited, and getting together is to grab food in a bowl, and your own people beat your own people.
"So there may be 2 films that can't reach 2 billion at the box office, but in the same way, the other 2 are in a good schedule, and the box office exceeds 2 billion, which is not a problem. If these 4 are put together...... The total box office is still more than 8 billion. ”
8 billion, or 8 billion.
Richard felt that he had come to the wrong place - why did he come? This is a madman!
In the face of such a madman, Richard had nothing to say, but smiled, nodded, and said with a serious look: "Very good, very good...... If that were the day, I would have carefully considered your proposal. ”
What Richard said is true: If such four films are released in the second half of the year and can still create a total of more than 8 billion box office? Then what reason does he have not to seriously consider Duane's words? Why does he have to believe that Duane said that the next film will create a box office of 7 billion?
If that ever were, he would even want to make a bid for Duane's unique market analysis model, even if the company wasn't filmmaking.
But he didn't think there would be a day.
That's all for the conversation.
Richard understood that the world-famous director was simply a madman, a paranoid madman, and he had no interest in talking about professional business issues with a completely irrational mad director, so after a casual chat between the two sides, the conversation ended.
After seeing off Richard and the others, Duane returned to his office and sat down, the smile that had been on his face before was gone, and his whole face was calm, his eyes were deep, his eyes were unfocused, and he was thinking about his own thoughts.
He was thinking about the movie he had just thought of.
If IMAX really agrees with God's investment in his film, it will probably be the most profitable film of his life - if not to mention that the production cost alone will be completely saved and the profit will be maximized. And if IMAX ultimately doesn't agree with God's investment in this movie, then is it necessary for him to invest in that movie himself?
Duane thought about it for a long time, and then turned on the computer and started to calculate, but in the end he pushed the keyboard, shook his head, and couldn't come to a conclusion.
There is too little data to use as a judgment, and he doesn't know if it will be more profitable to focus on that movie than to focus on the Chang'an system. However, from the bottom of his heart, he is still more inclined to the Chang'an system, after all, this is a long-term industry, and this temporary movie is just quick money, if it is in the case of equal income, he is still more inclined to do a good job in the development and layout of the Chang'an department.
He doesn't care if he will be burdened with the title of "2 billion director" for a long time, and he doesn't care what others think of his business ability, he only cares if he can follow his own heart, whether he will make money, and the opinions of strangers are nothing in his opinion.
In this respect, he is really not a real director, but more of a businessman.
Of course, it's probably a little early to think about these now, he still has a heavy task this year, and there are 4 films he supervised in the next six months waiting for the final production and release, and when these 4 movies are released, the problem that bothers him now may be solved naturally.
Among these 4 movies, because of the type of movie itself, "Xiaoshan", an urban love film, was produced the fastest, it has been reviewed, and the schedule has been arranged, just waiting for the painting to start.
On August 18, the day before the Qixi Festival, this is the release date of "Xiaoshan".
