Chapter 681: Seeing the Dawn, Signing Zhengyang (2/44)
ps. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the monthly ticket first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
"Shangying" is the "Donghai Film Group" company, it can be said that this is the behemoth of the East China Sea and even the whole country, whether it is its film and television production and film and television production are incomparable, and even he has the country's first cinema "Lianhe Cinema"!
'Lianhe Cinemas' has been the box office champion for a long time!
It can be said that this is the company that Lin Chen wants to cooperate with the most, not only because of the distribution company of "Those Years", but also because he will definitely stay at Donghai Satellite TV for a period of time in the future, and if Lin Chen wants to make movies and TV series, he can also cooperate with Shangying.
Don't forget that there are 5 large production companies and 14 film and television companies, not to mention large shooting bases.
Of course, Lin Chen is also ready to eat behind closed doors, who made him a pure newcomer now?
He dares to guarantee that if it is a first-line film director like Zhao Yu and Chen Gang, I am afraid that many distribution companies will rush to release it, not to mention the theater chain, they are eager to have a good relationship.
This is the status quo in the entertainment industry, Lin Chen has nothing to be depressed about.
The meeting with the person in charge of the distribution department of 'Shangying' was quite smooth, and it didn't make Lin Chen wait too long, this person in charge is the general manager of the distribution department, named Wu Shengmei.
"Hello Mr. Lin, we already know your intentions. ”
Wu Shengmei said a little politely: "However, in fact, a domestic movie "Dajianghu" that we released in April will also be released, but in order to avoid "Pacific Rim" and "Those Years", we have to change the file to June, as for May Day, we also have two movies to be released, so Mr. Lin, although we really want to release your movie." But there's really no way. ”
"Okay!"
Lin Chen smiled bitterly a few times, the other party's words were so plain, Lin Chen didn't have any other thoughts to introduce it.
Obviously, on the one hand, the other party is indeed releasing a few films to fill the schedule. Of course, that's not the point. The main reason is that they are not optimistic that "Those Years" can break out of the encirclement at all!
is still the same sentence, if Lin Chen is a senior director, or they are optimistic about "Those Years", then they will definitely do their best to release this movie.
So Lin Chen didn't stay anymore and turned around and left.
Seeing the back of Lin Chen's departure, Wu Shengmei also shook her head slightly, if she didn't want to meet this maverick and independent guy in the entertainment industry before meeting, I'm afraid she wouldn't have bothered to spend this time at all.
"That's it!"
Wu Shengmei said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet, it's really a little disappointing to meet!"
……
For Wu Shengmei's sigh, Lin Chen didn't have time to understand it. At this time, his mood can be said to be a little bad, it has been almost 5 years since he came to this world, it can be said that although Lin Chen has suffered all kinds of difficulties, he has survived.
This also made Lin Chen a little too blindly confident, originally he didn't want to enter the film market so quickly at the beginning, he wanted to enter the TV station first, and he had to produce a few variety shows and then start from TV series.
Movies are the last thing he wants to overcome!
But when he saw that Feng Ru was bullied, Lin Chen was also angry, coupled with blind confidence, he directly chose to shoot "Those Years"!
In particular, he is confident enough in the quality of the film "Those Years".
However, Lin Chen overestimated himself too much, and the entertainment industry has its own rules. The quality of the movie is not the first element of the distribution company and the theater release, the real factor is the network and popularity.
"Am I angry at the crown? and then dig a pit and bury myself?"
Lin Chen smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and at this time, Lin Chen's phone rang.
At first glance, it turned out to be Feng Ru calling!
After connecting, Lin Chen said, "What's wrong?"
Feng Ru's voice with some self-reproach and shame sounded: "Lin Chen." I'm sorry, it's all because of me, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to make movies, and if you hadn't made movies, you wouldn't have been in the situation you are in now, and you've become everyone's joke, blame me......"
"Stop!"
Hearing this, Feng Ru actually turned on the Xianglin sister-in-law mode, and Lin Chen was also busy interrupting: "What does this have to do with you? I have always promised you to shoot a film starring you for you, in addition, you can rest assured." The real joke is not me, it's them. ”
"Ahh
Feng Ruyi asked with some surprise when he heard this.
Lin Chen smiled: "That's right. Okay, I'll let you know when I'm done talking here. ”
"Yes. Well, that, that, come on!"
Feng Ru thought for a while and said.
Hanging up the phone, Lin Chen's mood got better inexplicably, and now it is not a desperate situation, since the big distribution companies can't look down on it, then Lin Chen may only be able to choose a small distribution company.
As for the channel publicity, it may be much weaker, and the film scheduling rate may be quite low!
"But, girl, I don't believe I can't fight my way out. ”
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said at this time.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen also decided not to look for a distribution company for the time being after returning to the hotel, he first called Geng Na, and was relieved to learn that the advertising shooting went smoothly.
As for the phone call with the old man of the dead fish, it is obvious that the software has already done the late stage.
These are Lin Chen's two big satellites, and he believes that when the time comes, throwing these two satellites out will definitely be able to smash everyone dizzy.
In terms of publicity, Lin Chen really hasn't been afraid of anyone.
At 5 o'clock, Liu Tianwang came to the hotel to pick up Lin Chen, and as soon as they met, Liu Tianwang asked with a smile: "Have you also been hit by the 'Shangying'?"
"Fortunately, I was mentally prepared. ”
Lin Chen said indifferently.
Liu Tianwang said with a slight sigh at this time: "Frankly speaking, I was still thinking about it on the road just now, how would I comfort you if I saw you, and now it seems that you are stronger than my resemblance." ”
"No, Liu Tianwang, you should want to wait for my movie to be released. Will those who refuse to release my film cry?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh.
"Okay!"
Liu Tianwang is also a little crying and laughing, this Teacher Lin is really not ordinary self-confidence, I'm afraid that this reversal of breath will definitely be called arrogance!
But didn't he help Lin Chen just appreciate Lin Chen's courage to fight?
"So far, I think of Xiang Yu. Refuse to cross the river!"
Thinking of this sentence, Liu Tianwang was also deeply touched. If their brothers were able to be so stiff back then, why didn't they stop at that?
It ended up being a joke!
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Tianwang reminisced from the old things, looked at Lin Chen and said, "Okay, let's go, their people have arrived!"
On the way, Liu Tianwang also introduced the 'Zhengyang Distribution' company to Lin Chen, and it turned out that the 'Zhengyang Distribution' company was a subsidiary of the 'Zhengyang Film and Television Company'. As a well-known 'Zhengyang Film and Television Company' in the industry, it has always given people the impression that it is mainly the production of TV dramas and performing arts agents, but in recent years, they naturally want to get a piece of the fire in the film market, so he was only ready to open up the distribution of films last year.
This 'Zhengyang Distribution' company is a new company integrating TV and TV series distribution, but because although they are famous in TV dramas and have good channels for distributing TV dramas, after all, each TV station has their relationship.
But the film is not so smooth, as a newly established distribution company, some blockbusters naturally do not come to them for distribution, after all, their channels are far from being comparable to other distribution companies, and it is precisely because of this. As the boss of 'Zhengyang Distribution', Sun Kai has naturally been thinking about how to break the ice.
No, after listening to Lin Chen's "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", it was rejected by several major distribution companies one after another. Sun Kai is ready to seize this opportunity, and with Liu Tianwang taking advantage of it, he is even more inclined to win the distribution rights of "Those Years" in one fell swoop today.
"Mr. Sun, this Lin Chen is now rejected by the four major distribution companies of China Film Huaying Association, and I heard that he met the person in charge of 'Shangying' this morning, but he was also rejected. ”
The vice president of the 'Zhengyang Distribution' company said: "At this time, we can ask for his issuance commission, after all, he is almost desperate now." ”
"Confused!"
Sun Kai scolded in a low voice when he heard this, and then explained: "Now all kinds of blockbusters are not released by us at all. Even some medium-sized films don't look for us, even if I find others, they don't want to get a piece of our pie. So we desperately need to find a film as a masterpiece. ”
The vice president said: "But what if this film kneels? Not just in case, Mr. Sun." This film will definitely become cannon fodder under the attack of "Pacific Rim" and "Those Years". ”
"Of course I know that. ”
Sun Kai shook his head slightly: "But, don't you know the truth that a thousand dollars buy bones? Even if this movie loses money, our publicity and distribution channels can let other investors see that our 'Zhengyang Distribution' has its own strength." ”
"I see!"
"Yes, and what kind of person is this Lin Chen? Haven't you read the Internet? What kind of bloody is the song he recently wrote, 'Refusing to Cross Jiangdong'?"
Sun Kai nodded and said: "Such a person can only come soft, come hard, he is really angry to find other small distribution companies, we really can't find the place to cry." ”
Seeing that the vice president seemed to understand or not, Sun Kai finally said: "Therefore, not only "Those Years" needs to break the ice, but our 'Zhengyang Distribution' company also needs to break the ice, and we and Lin Chen both need this opportunity, so we are cooperating, and there is no one who is strong and who is weak." ”
"I understand, Mr. Sun!"
At the moment when the vice president's voice fell, Liu Tianwang and Lin Chen also came to the private room.
"Liu Tianwang, Teacher Lin, hello. ”
Sun Kai seemed quite enthusiastic, and Liu Tianwang also introduced each other.
After taking a seat, Sun Kai asked straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, I want to ask if the distribution company has been selected for "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" now?"
"Not yet!"
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Sun must have also understood, and at present, several other domestic issuing companies have refused. ”
"That's it!"
Sun Kai nodded and said: "We're 'Zhengyang Distribution' backed by 'Zhengyang Film and Television Company', although our distribution channels are not as good as 'China Film' Huaying' and 'Shangying' and other companies, but we also have our own distribution channels, and the company's publicity channels are not weaker than theirs, so I hope we can cooperate and independently distribute "Those Years" by 'Zhengyang Distribution'!"
"Mr. Sun!"
Since Sun Kai went straight in, Lin Chen naturally said directly: "Actually, it's not surprising that these major distribution companies rejected me, I originally planned to find several distribution companies to jointly distribute it, as the so-called three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang, and joint distribution is also easy to accept for small distribution companies, after all, they can spread the cost equally, and another advantage of joint distribution is that they can seek more film scheduling for "Those Years", but you' Zhengyang Distribution' has to be issued separately, even if you are not afraid of losing money, but what good is it for us?"
The vice president couldn't help but say on the side: "Whoever wants to release your movie now, they all know that your movie will definitely become cannon fodder, so you can ...... it if we release it."
"Shut up!"
Sun Kai was a little angry, and he just said it in vain, he glared at the vice president fiercely, and then looked at Lin Chen and said sincerely: "Mr. Lin, please believe in the sincerity of our 'Zhengyang Distribution', first, we can promote "Those Years", and the cost of various publicity can be borne by our "Zhengyang Distribution", secondly, we only charge five percent of the distribution commission of "Those Years", and thirdly, we' Zhengyang Distribution has an excellent cooperative relationship with Donghai United Cinemas, so I can arrange the premiere at Donghai United Cinemas. ”
The conditions of this 'Zhengyang Distribution' company can not be described as full of sincerity, and even this sincerity made Lin Chen a little moved, after all, the past two days have been all kinds of closed-door and cynicism, and suddenly there is such a condition Lin Chen did not react.
When Lin Chen was in a daze, Liu Tianwang gently pulled Lin Chen, this sincerity is enough in Liu Tianwang's opinion, and 'Zhengyang Distribution' is also a distribution company underestimated by the outside world, after all, he is backed by 'Zhengyang Film and Television'!
"Teacher Lin!"
Sun Kai saw Lin Chen in a daze at this time and thought that he was not satisfied, and said with a wry smile: "This condition is really the greatest sincerity we can come up with, if we let it go again, it is really impossible, and we also very much hope to cooperate." ”
"Oh!"
Lin Chen came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Sun, you misunderstood, I just didn't expect your conditions to be so sincere, if I don't agree to this, it will be a bit ignorant." ”
"Teacher Nalin, what do you mean ......"
"I promise that "Those Years" will be independently distributed by your 'Zhengyang Distribution' company. ”
Lin Chen said seriously: "I hope we have a happy cooperation." ”
"Haha, nice to work with. ”
Sun Kai laughed and said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, the independent distribution by our Zhengyang Issuance is the most correct choice you have made, and you will not regret it." ”
Lin Chen laughed secretly in his heart, he dared to say that the 'Zhengyang Distribution' company to release its own movies was the most correct choice they made. ”
