Chapter 139 The Scheduling Rate of Life and Death
November 25th.
Yanjing.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Mai Xiaoyu walked out of the capital airport and saw the person who came to pick him up at a glance.
Two cars, three people, Yu Xiaoxing, Zhang Xiaoquan, and ...... Liutao.
"Boss!"
"Fish!"
"Mr. Mai!"
The three of them looked at Mai Xiaoyu and couldn't hide their excitement.
"Boss, you're playing with me to death!"
"× get out of the way, and I'm not afraid of strangling the fish. However, Zhang Xiaoquan's bear hug was even more powerful, "I received your call last night, and I didn't sleep all night with excitement." ”
Mai Xiaoyu went to the East China Sea to run the movie release, and Zhang Xiaoquan knew about it. He is a housekeeper in the company and has always kept in touch with Mai Xiaoyu.
Knowing that the issuance contract was signed, it was still a large cinema company like Hailian, and the biggest stone in Zhang Xiaoquan's heart landed.
"How long are you going to hug it?" Get out of the way!" Xiao Xiaoxing retaliated and pulled Zhang Xiaoquan away, and then pushed Mai Xiaoyu to Liu Tao's side.
Liu Tao's eyes were shining, his cherry lips opened lightly, and he spit out a "Mr. Mai" and hugged Mai Xiaoyu.
"It's good to see you. Liu Tao said softly.
Mai Xiaoyu gently hugged her and whispered in her ear: "I said that I won't go, and I won't go again, do you believe it now?"
"Hmm. When you held me that night, I believed it. That's when I heard your heartbeat, and I knew you wouldn't leave me. ”
Mai Xiaoyu: "......"
What did I tell her that night?
The atmosphere is slightly awkward, but fortunately there is Xiao Xing.
He coaxed: "Are you two done hugging, you have to hug you when you go home tonight, anyway, you live together." Let's go eat first, everyone is waiting in the restaurant!"
Only then did Mai Xiaoyu know that the company would pick up the wind for him tonight and have a dinner party for all the staff.
"There's no need. It's just a matter of getting the release, and it's not time to relax. ”
Xi Xiaoxing also complained that he didn't bring himself to make a movie, and teased: "It's just by the way to pick up the wind for you, the main thing is to celebrate your 'Sister Tao', and win the contract of "Yitian" by the way!"
"Yitian" film appointment?
Mai Xiaoyu was stunned: "Which character?"
Liu Tao smiled sweetly: "Female No. 2, Zhou Zhiruo." Thank you, Mr. Mai. ”
Thank me?
Thank me for what?
I thought it was over!
Qingtian was blocked first, and Tiandi Film and Television was rejected later, how could the crew of "Yitian" still hand over the female number two to Liu Tao?
At this time, Liu Tao took out a business card from his bag, and when he saw Shi Hao's name on the business card, Mai Xiaoyu faintly guessed something.
Everyone was waiting in the hotel, and it was inconvenient for the four of them to chat more at the airport, so they got in the car and rushed to the hotel.
When he was in the car, Xi Xiaoxing played a fuck again, pulled Zhang Xiaoquan into Poussin, closed the door and drove away, leaving Mai Xiaoyu, Liu Tao and Mai Xiaoyu's Volvo in the parking lot.
This bastard!
Mai Xiaoyu scratched his head: "Lao Xi has a lot of opinions about me." ”
Liu Tao covered his mouth and chuckled: "Listening to Mr. Zhang, during this time, Director Yan has been sullen because he missed the opportunity to direct. ”
"If you don't go to South Korea, you can't make him a director. Let's get in the car, where are we going to eat?"
The location of the dinner was Dong Xiaojuan's restaurant.
At the last finale banquet, everyone felt that the wine and food here tasted good, the amount was affordable, healthy and hygienic, and there was no need to worry about gutter oil, so this company dinner also chose here.
On the way to Dong Xiaojuan's restaurant, Liu Tao said softly: "You have lost weight, this time is very hard, right?"
"Man, what's the hard work. On the contrary, it was you, who suffered a lot during filming, right? I felt a lot of weight loss, and when I hugged you just now, I felt my bones. ”
"Then I'll eat more in the past few days, grow more meat and let you hug it, you don't think I'm fat. ”
When the words fell, Liu Tao blushed.
Mai Xiaoyu has grass growing in his heart.
The relationship between the two is very delicate now.
When you are alone, you can speak naturally and casually, and you have few concerns. But as he spoke, maybe someone would say a casual word or two, which would cause embarrassment for the two, as it is now.
After a moment of silence, Mai Xiaoyu changed the topic: ""Returning the Pearl 3" is finished?"
"Well, half a month ago, my role was completed, and last week the crew was finished. ”
"When will it premiere?"
"I heard that it was February, and it premiered on Nanhu TV during the Spring Festival......"
chatting without a word, Mai Xiaoyu drove to Dong Xiaojuan's restaurant, and the company employees were waiting for him.
After hugging and greeting, everyone asked him to say a few words, and Mai Xiaoyu only said two words: "Serve!"
It was a fun dinner that night.
Liu Taoshun lì Tong guò "Yitian" audition, won the role of the important female No. 2 Zhou Zhiruo, and her acting career reached a new level.
Mai Xiaoyu returned with the distribution contract of "I Believe", which means that the movie can be released in theaters, and the hard work of everyone will not be thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes.
It's called Double Happiness!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, at the request of everyone, Huang Bo and Deng Chao sang "Little Apple", "My Skateboarding Shoes" and "I Believe" on the spot.
When "I Believe" was sung at the end, everyone sang in unison, so happy, and then looked forward to the box office after the movie was released.
How much box office can it get?
Mai Xiaoyu is hard to say.
Signing a distribution contract does not mean sitting back and relaxing, and you have to wait for the distributor to finally agree with each theater on the scheduling rate.
Most of the cute employees are laymen, and they don't know much about movie scheduling, but everyone in the circle understands it.
The next morning.
When Mai Xiaoyu came to the company, he first contacted Su Youpeng to express his gratitude.
The two made an appointment to find a time to sit together after the New Year, and finally Su Youpeng asked, "How is the film scheduling rate?"
Then contact Shi Hao of Tiandi Film and Television.
Liu Tao can play the role of Zhou Zhiruo, which must be Shi Hao's meaning.
However, Shi Hao didn't care about this kind of trivial matter, what he cared about was: "What is the expected scheduling rate of the distribution?"
learned that Mai Xiaoyu returned to Beijing and got out of class in the afternoon, and Huang Lei rushed to Mengren Film and Television.
In the office, he carefully read the agency distribution contract of "I Believe" and sighed: "Hailian, a big distributor, no wonder you keep saying that you don't have to worry about scheduling the film." How high is the expected film schedule?"
"The scheduling rate of Hailian cinemas is not less than 5%, and other cinemas, they strive to talk about more than 5%. ”
"So low!" Huang Lei was relieved after thinking about it, "too." It's really 5%, which is not bad, it's better than the 1% or 2% scheduling rate of those literary films. If the number of sessions is reasonable, there is no problem in recovering the cost. By the way, is there a guarantee for the evening?"
The so-called film scheduling rate refers to the proportion of film screenings arranged by theaters.
For example, all the screens in a theater combined can arrange 100 movie screenings per day. One of the films was screened ten times a day, and the scheduling rate was 10%.
However, there are golden and invalid films.
The golden session is usually from 7 pm to 9 pm on weekdays and afternoon and evening on weekends.
Whether a film can be ranked in these two time periods is crucial to the box office.
Mai Xiaoyu shook his head: "It is estimated that it depends on the box office results in the first two days of release." ”
This is the disadvantage of the "three nos" movie, the movie has just been released, and it has fallen several positions behind other movies in the film schedule.
Huang Lei can understand, but he is not reconciled.
"You're a filmmaker, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Is it useful to be in a hurry? Don't forget that this schedule is dynamic......"
