0037 Shaken
Although Xiao Heng knows these contents and knows the distributor of "I Wish IDO", he doesn't know the producer and anyone in the distribution room, so he can't contact them. But fortunately, he found a middleman in his rich second-generation circle, and under his bridging, Xiao Heng got in touch with Jiang Zhiqin, who was in charge of the film from the distributor.
Of course, Xiao Heng contacted him as the chairman of Hengyi Culture Media Co., Ltd.
A few days ago, Xiao Heng had already expressed his intention to Jiang Zhiqin in this regard, and today was the day they made an appointment to meet.
……
Two days ago, in the evening, at a night snack stall in Shanghai.
"Damn, it's obviously two similar movies, why do they take most of the company's resources and leave me leftovers, why do you say? and set me a box office task of 30 million, who am I trying to provoke. 30 million? Just such a little publicity, such a number of films, I am thankful for 10 million. "In front of a barbecue restaurant, there are a few small tables where diners sit outside drinking beer and eating skewers. Jiang Zhiqin drank some beer, his voice was opened, he was depressed, and under the influence of alcohol, he vomited out all the unhappiness in his heart these days.
"Manager, you've drunk a little too much. With Jiang Zhiqin, his assistant, named Li Xiaoyu, looked around cautiously and said to Jiang Zhiqin, as if she was afraid that someone would hear what he said.
"Is what I said wrong? Xiaoyu, do you say what I said is wrong?" Jiang Zhiqin turned to Li Xiaoyu, his face was red, obviously he had drunk too much, he stretched out his foot, knocked over the two empty wine bottles on the ground to the ground, and made a "ding-ding-clang" sound.
"Yes, you're right. Li Xiaoyu hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and said helplessly, "But let's just talk about these in private, you don't have to be so loud." ”
"What's wrong? What's wrong with me? He Zhou Hua dares to do this to me, I dare to say this, this is all his arrangement, and it is also the task he set for me. There is also that Chen Ye, who has a relationship with himself, every time there is a blockbuster movie, he is always the first, and all the resources are given to him, we can only ask him for the rest, why do you say I am so unlucky. Stimulated by alcohol, Jiang Zhiqin seemed to be unable to contain it, and some unspoken rules in the company began to come out of his mouth.
"Don't talk about it. Li Xiaoyu hurriedly patted Jiang Zhiqin's shoulder heavily, telling him to stop quickly, and then immediately shouted to the store, "Boss, make me a cup of hot tea, a little stronger." ”
"Okay. The owner's voice came from the store.
Strong tea is used to relieve hangover, earth.
"Why, it hurts. Jiang Zhiqin touched the shoulder that was patted, looked at Li Xiaoyu and said, "I'm not wrong." ”
"What if someone hears it? Can you still mix in the company, no brains. Li Xiaoyu gave him a blank look, although the relationship between the two is superior-superior, they usually have a good relationship, so they don't have any scruples in the workplace.
"Hmph. Jiang Zhiqin was still a little unconvinced, but after listening to Li Xiaoyu's words, he still quieted down.
Jiang Zhiqin drinks a good amount of alcohol, which has something to do with the nature of his work, he is a distribution manager in the distribution department of Huayi Film and Television Media Company, every time he receives a new film that needs to be released, he has to go to various places to negotiate with theaters and theaters, arrange the amount of films and advertisements in the theater, and try to maximize the income of the film he is responsible for. In the process, of course, it is inevitable to eat and drink, and the amount of alcohol is practiced in this way.
But it's strange today, Jiang Zhiqin, who is usually not drunk with a thousand glasses, just drank three bottles of beer and began to speak freely, which should be related to the "I Willing IDO" he was in charge of recently. When you're in a bad mood, it's especially easy to get drunk.
At this time, the waiter handed over a cup of freshly brewed and steaming strong tea, and Li Xiaoyu motioned to put the tea in front of Jiang Zhiqin.
Jiang Zhiqin thanked him, and then looked at the steaming tea: "You called me and this on such a hot day? ”
"You're not drunk yet, you're about to take off your company bottoms just now. Li Xiaoyu said angrily.
Jiang Zhiqin pursed his lips, seemed to be a little sober, and realized that some of what he said just now was not the occasion.
"It's already like this, and we can't help it, so we have worked so hard to run so many places, and it should be regarded as tourism. Li Xiaoyu said and picked up a skewer of beef skewers and ate it.
Jiang Zhiqin picked up the wine glass and took a sip of beer, looked at the night sky and didn't speak, and didn't pay attention to the cup of tea at all.
"By the way, have you considered the plan provided by the person from Hengyi Culture Media today?" Li Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the person who called her this afternoon, and she remembered that the person's name was Xiao Heng.
"Is it guaranteed?" Jiang Zhiqin asked, putting the cup back on the table.
"Well, that sounds like it's possible. Li Xiaoyu nodded.
"What does it sound like it sounds, it's all here to give us money, I'm sure that guy is here to have fun with us, or he has a brain disease. Jiang Zhiqin said with a sneer.
Guaranteed issuance is a model that only emerged in China around 2016, and now no one has made such an attempt in 2012, so Jiang Zhiqin scoffed at it at first.
"What if he's serious?" Li Xiaoyu continued, "maybe he's very optimistic about the box office of our movie." ”
"How is it possible, you look at the expectations given by the major media and major movie review websites now, which one is optimistic, don't be whimsical. Jiang Zhiqin was already frustrated with the film he was responsible for, he ran to major theaters for most of the quarter, and naturally knew the current situation of the film very well.
After Jiang Zhiqin finished speaking, the two fell into silence, each thinking about their own thoughts. One was drinking, the other staring blankly ahead. I heard all kinds of drinking and fist fighting around them, which was unusually irritating.
After the release of the film, the distributor can take a percentage of the box office from 3 to 5 percent of the revenue for its own income. So the higher the box office, the higher the profit of the distributor. But the distributor needs to be responsible for theatrical promotion, so there are costs in it, and these commissions are not its pure profits, only after the commissions minus the costs are his profits. If a movie is a dismal box office, it means a slim profit or the possibility of losing money. Obviously, Jiang Zhiqin, who is now the distribution manager of "I Am Willing to IDO", is ready to lose money, and this is not the first time he has let his company lose money when he releases a film. And he knew in his heart that this would not be the last time, because of Chen Ye's existence, a good movie would not be his turn at all, and it was also the root cause of his complaint just now.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Zhiqin picked up the cup and drank it all, then sighed.
"I'll talk to the general manager about this tomorrow, see what he thinks, if the general manager agrees with this plan, then with that... What?" Jiang Zhiqin couldn't remember the name of Xiao Heng's company for a while, and turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyu.
"Hengyi Culture Media. Li Xiaoyu reminded.
"Oh, Hengyi Culture Media, find a time to talk. Jiang Zhiqin said.
