Chapter 678 - Where is the road when the issuance is blocked?
"We won't release your movie. β
The words of the person in charge in front of him made Lin Chen's heart sink directly, and he wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by the person in charge.
"I know what you're trying to say. β
"You just want to say how marketable your movies are, how different your movies are, or how your film investment is, and how the plot is. β
Fu Lei waved his hand slightly and said: "I hear this kind of words not a hundred times a day, but in the end, it depends on the facts, Lin Chen, I have also heard of you, you should be honest and be your host, this movie is not for you to play." β
Lin Chen was a little silent, and it was only at this time that he understood why Liu Qingyun, Yuan Ping, Tian Na and others had to persuade themselves not to be so radical.
In another time and space, Lin Chen is just a micro-film director, of course, he has never invested in any movies, and he can't even meet the heads of these distribution companies.
Lin Chen has only read some articles or materials that say how difficult the movie is and how difficult it is to distribute, but how can he really understand it without personal experience?
What does this feel like?
It's like virgin men watch all kinds of Japanese action movies every day, and then read all over the world, taste countless novels, and even know all kinds of unraveling postures, for those who say that they will shoot in seconds, etc., they feel that they are so awesome and how can they shoot in seconds?
As a result, when these virgins couldn't even enter the door at night, they probably wanted to cry and thought, "Some of the words of the predecessors are really not lies!"
This is how Lin Chen feels now.
However, he was still ready to fight: "Mr. Fu, I still want you to watch "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", if you finish reading it, I believe you will ......"
"Huh!"
Fu Lei interrupted Lin Chen's words with a smile again: "There's really no need to watch it, let me tell you the truth, you just give me all the income of "Those Years". I'd rather do a Hollywood blockbuster release.'"
"Okay, but 'China Film' is the most influential distribution company in China, don't you support domestic films?"
Lin Chen asked a little helplessly.
"Haha. Lin Chen, are you too naΓ―ve?"
Fu Lei couldn't help laughing: "Even if you support domestic films, you also need to support big directors like Zhao Yu and Chen Gang." As for movies like you people, the mud can't support the wall, and I have to take responsibility for it out of thin air, if you were me, would you support it?"
"Okay!"
Lin Chen didn't have any anger, looked at Fu Lei and said, "Then say goodbye!"
"Lin Chen!"
Fu Lei said at this time: "As a friend of Director Liu, I advise you, you should still be your host, and other distribution companies of your film are probably not interested, don't waste any more time." β
"I have faith in this film. β
Lin Chen looked at Fu Lei and said, "And." It's not that domestic movies can't be supported by mud, what if there is a miracle?"
After speaking, Lin Chen didn't look at Fu Lei's face and turned to leave.
Bang!
It wasn't until the door closed that Fu Lei reacted: "This kid has a stupid spirit. β
Saying that, Fu Lei laughed: "There are still miracles? It's still naΓ―ve, I used to have confidence in domestic movies, but what? Alas, the mud still can't support the wall!"
After coming out of the 'China Shadow', Lin Chen did not stop, but prepared to go to the 'China Shadow' to have a look.
Huaying, whose full name is 'Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd.', is the second institution in 'Huaxia' that has the right to distribute imported films nationwide. As for 'China Film', it is one of the shareholders behind 'Huaying'.
But Lin Chen still wants to give it a try, what if, what if it succeeds?
This time he met Xu Miao, the manager of the marketing department.
"Teacher Lin. Hello, hello. β
Xu Miao looked quite polite, and shook hands with Lin Chen: "My son is your fan, and he especially likes your "Young Qiang". β
"Mr. Xu, you're polite. β
Lin Chen also said with a smile.
"You're welcome, that, Mr. Lin, can I ask you for a signed photo later?"
Xu Miao said with a wry smile: "My kid is your fan." β
"Huh?"
Lin Chen was a little surprised, but still smiled: "This is okay." β
"Then thank you, Mr. Lin. β
Xu Miao sincerely thanked her. Then he said, "Teacher Lin, I know your intention." But our Huaying has already released "Pacific Rim", and all our energy is currently focused on this film. So I really can't help it, we haven't even released "Those Years". β
"Understood, but I want to ask, all your energy is focused on "Pacific Rim", so can you give me this movie a little bit of theaters, after all, theaters can't release "Pacific Rim" in full!"
Lin Chen still said without giving up.
"Teacher Lin, I will really help you if I can. β
Xu Miao said helplessly: "But the board of directors has already issued an order, we only release "Pacific Rim", I really can't help." β
"Oh well. β
Lin Chen shook his head and said.
Xu Miao asked at this time: "Mr. Lin, can't you change the schedule of this movie? May Day is definitely not good, but we can help you release it in June, and there are many channels, you will definitely not be able to choose to release it in April now, especially under the attack of the two movies "Pacific Rim" and "Those Years", I am afraid that no one will be willing to help you release it." β
"Mr. Xu, thank you for your kindness, but I still have to choose to release it in April. β
Lin Chen shook his head and said, he has been laying the groundwork for so long, if he chooses to release it in June, how can it be really cheap "Those Years"!
Therefore, Lin Chen left after giving Xu Miao a signed photo.
"Alas, this Teacher Lin is really as stubborn as the legend. β
Xu Miao sighed, then looked at the signed photo in his hand and suddenly laughed: "With this photo, I have to let that stinky boy study hard for a month." β
β¦β¦
The setbacks of the two major distribution companies of 'China Film' and 'China Film' aroused Lin Chen's temper.
Damn, I don't believe that all distribution companies are blind.
Scolding fiercely, Lin Chen looked at the time and prepared to return to the hotel, and then visit the other two issuing companies in the afternoon.
The full name of 'United Imaging' is 'United Flying Pictures Co., Ltd.'. This is a distribution company controlled by 'Lianfei' video investment, and at that time, the external publicity was to define it as an 'Internet film company', which can be said to have developed rapidly in recent years.
Now. 'China Film' and 'Huaying' are out of play, so Lin Chen is looking forward to 'United Film'. He checked it on the Internet, and the distribution channel of 'United Film' is also very powerful, and if 'United Film' can be released, it would be great.
However, even Lin Chen, who was hit, was very sober, as Tian Na said, don't think that you are a character, in fact, in the eyes of these distribution companies and even film production companies, they have never heard of themselves at all.
Therefore. Lin Chen came to 'United Imaging' in the afternoon!
Pang Yan, the general manager of the marketing department, personally received Lin Chen, but she saw Lin Chen as if she was watching a clown, which made Lin Chen a little stunned: "Mr. Pang, I don't know if your company is willing to release "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years?"
Pang Yan took a sip of coffee unhurriedly, and then said with a smile: "Lin Chen, we have signed "Those Years" the day before yesterday, do you think we may release another youth film? β
"Hehe, that's goodbye. β
Lin Chen shook his head slightly, he could see it. The girls in front of them are entertaining themselves.
"Huh?"
Pang Yan was a little dissatisfied with Lin Chen's appearance, and sneered at this time: "I advise you not to look for a distribution company for this bad movie, and tell you the truth." There is no one to release a bad movie like yours at all. β
"It's not up to you to decide whether a bad movie is bad or not. β
Lin Chen had a sneer on his face: "I wish you a lot of money from releasing "Those Years". β
"Huh!"
Pang Yan looked at Lin Chen and shook her head slightly: "What's the use of taking advantage of your tongue? Do you still think that if you scold yourself in the entertainment industry and write a poem, you can make your movie a big hit? You are really naΓ―ve." β
Lin Chen can be said to be holding back his breath today, Fu Lei said that he was naΓ―ve, although Xu Miao was kind to him, he was useless, and now this Pang Yan came to entertain himself again.
Do you think that "Those Years" must be kneeling?
"Then let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see. β
Lin Chen dropped such a sentence and left quickly, it was useless to make noise here, but it was a joke.
"It's naΓ―ve. β
Pang Yan saw Lin Chen's disappearing back, with a disapproving look on his face.
β¦β¦
In one day, Lin Chen came to Yanjing for almost nothing, and the three issuing companies all chose to refuse. 'China Film' is completely disdainful, and 'China Film' puts all its attention on "Pacific Rim". 'United Film' released "Those Years", and incidentally despised himself.
All three major publishers have passed it!
"It's a long way to go!"
Lin Chen was also lying on the bed at this time and muttered to himself.
At the same time. The bald man received a call from Pang Yan at home.
"Mr. Zhou, who do you guess is coming to us today?"
Zhou Shui was a little surprised when he heard Pang Yan's call: "Xiao Yan, what's the situation? Could it be that someone went to your 'United Image' to inspect it today?"
Pang Yan laughed and said, "Today, your competitors want to seek the release of our United Film, hehe, you can guess who it is." β
"Competitors?"
Zhou Shui was a little puzzled, "Pacific Rim" is the responsibility of "Huaying", as for "Brother Film and Television" and "Dajun Film and Television", they don't need "United Film" to release movies!
Pang Yan couldn't help laughing at this time: "It's Lin Chen who wants our company to release "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", hehe, unexpectedly?"
"Not surprisingly. β
Zhou Zhou Shui suddenly understood when he heard the news: "This kid has been thinking about being in the limelight, and what poems he writes 'he is strong by him', he can only say that he is useless and is a scholar, he is afraid that he has found 'Zhongying' and 'Huaying' first, and he should have eaten the closed door." β
"That's right, it's a closed door. β
Pang Yan nodded and said: "How can China Film look down on him, as for 'Huaying', it has already greeted all theaters, and the number of screenings of "Pacific Rim" must reach 80%. β
"That's normal. β
Zhou Zhou Shui suddenly laughed: "This is a good propaganda method. β
"Propaganda?"
"Yes, think about it, Lin Chen's statement that he was going to be released in April, but the result was good, and the three major distribution companies all refused to release it. β
Zhou Zhou Shui smiled and said, "Isn't this the biggest joke?"
"That's right, then I'll let the propaganda department do the publicity. β
Pang Yan said busily.
"Don't worry, since Lin Chen has come to Yanjing, he will definitely have to go to the 'Jinglian' to seek distribution. β
Zhou Zhou Shui said: "If we don't agree to the 'Jinglin' at that time, then we will break the news again." β
"Good. β
β¦β¦
It can be said that this is a listed company integrating TV program production and distribution, film investment, production, publicity and distribution, TV drama investment and distribution, artist brokerage, new media Internet and games.
The biggest reason why many people seek the release of "Jinglin" is because the publicity of "Jinglin" is very awesome, and they have their own set of advanced publicity channels.
Lin Chen is not afraid that they will ask for publicity money, no matter how much publicity money it is, it doesn't matter, because he believes that if "Those Years" is operated properly, it can also reach the phenomenal level.
But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that the person in charge of the 'Jinglin' opened his mouth.
β30%οΌβ
Lin Chen was a little shocked when he heard the words of the person in charge in front of him, looked at him and asked, "Mr. Wang, you're not joking, are you?" β
"Hehe, Lin Chen, you should know that 'Huaying', 'China Film', and United Imaging all refuse to release your films, and we 'Jinglian' should know how much risk we have to take to release your films, so asking you for 30% is already very low. β
Wang Ping said with a smile: "We need to hold a premiere, and at the same time promote it through various channels, and we also need to have a proper discussion with the theater chain and theaters, in addition, the position publicity, the number of film schedules and various records, etc., these are all great human and financial resources, and it can be said that it is normal to charge you 30%, otherwise your film will not be able to meet the audience at all." β
Looking at the smiling guy in front of him, Lin Chen wanted to slap him in the face.
30οΌ
This is simply a complete robbery, so Lin Chen took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Wang, don't you want to talk about it?"
"How so?"
Wang Ping shook his head slightly: "Frankly speaking, I'm quite optimistic about your movie, but it's ......" (to be continued.) )http://
