"It's a shame, but I think we'll have a chance to have a good drink.

I wish you a big box office hit and I wish you all the best for your new film, and then ......"

"There are still opportunities to work together. Chen Tian interrupted Tom Odenberg's words with a smile.

"oH, yes. Tom Oldenberg smiled and shook Chen Tian's hand.

The moment he signed the contract in Tom Odenberg's office, Chen Tian's heart was completely relaxed.

Looking at his signature on the contract, he was indescribably excited, and he wanted to share his joy at this moment, a woman wrapped in a sheet drilled into his mind, and the corners of Chen Tian's mouth subconsciously hooked an arc.

"Mr. Jon Fittimmel, I have done some publicity and you all know it, I think you will make good use of it, if you need specific cooperation, please contact me, and then I will pass it on to Scarlett. Chen Tian touched his forehead, "By the way, as for how you need Blackberry and ZIPPO to cooperate, you can directly send me the publicity plan and I will forward it, or you can contact them directly." ”

"We'll take advantage of it. Jon Fittimmel replied with a smile.

Chen Tian was not very relieved, he was a little worried that Lionsgate would not be able to do a good job in publicity.

It seems that the maximum 50 million is only 22% of the share, but this is the box office share and not the net revenue share, in fact, if the box office really reaches 50 million, Chen Tian will basically take half or even more of the net income.

And Lionsgate's real profit is in the DVD and TV payment market, and Chen Tian can't help but be a little worried when he thinks about this.

Although he thinks this way, Chen Tian still wants to make preparations and not wait passively, of course, he hopes that this will not be the case.

"By the way, how is the schedule of "Buried Alive" determined?" Chen Tian remembered the most important question.

No matter how good a movie is, it also needs the best schedule, and if the schedule is not well arranged, it is likely to directly lead to poor final box office returns.

In the American film market, each year is divided into five schedules: winter, spring, summer, autumn and Christmas holidays.

The second Thursday from the end of the New Year's holiday to the second Thursday of March is called the winter season, and the day after the end of the winter season to the first Thursday of May is the spring season.

This was followed by a long and hot summer season, which began on the first Friday in May and continued on the first Monday in September.

The first Monday in September is Labor Day in the United States, and it is also the time when students start school.

After Labor Day, the fall season begins and continues until the week before Thanksgiving, which is almost the third Thursday in November.

Then the whole of America will enter the year-end holiday, and American movies will also enter the Christmas holiday schedule, until the weekend of the new year.

Each schedule has a corresponding movie-watching trend, and the movie-going crowds of thriller and suspense films like "Buried Alive" will be after July.

At this time, the interest of films began to skew towards adults, and thrillers, action movies and comedies increased.

Many thrillers will choose to be released at the junction of July and August, and the best release date for thriller horror films is undoubtedly Halloween, which is also the schedule for countless thrillers and horror films.

Many films will choose to be released a week before Halloween, get a good reputation, and then win more box office in this small schedule.

Jon Fittimmel looked at Chen Tian and said: "We want to carry out publicity, it is not a good choice to enter the schedule now, we are ready to carry out half a month of publicity and then choose a small-scale release."

And then according to the specific situation, it will be arranged again, and if the effect is very good, it will be released in early August.

At that time, all the blockbusters were released immediately after the end of the new film, and it would not be a big production, although the market fell sharply in this schedule. But I think it's an opportunity to take advantage of.

After all, it's not a horror movie per cent, and it's just the right thing we can use to even stir up anti-war sentiment.

In my opinion, this is the best kind of propaganda and it will save a lot of money, and I think we need to be grateful for this country of free speech. ”

When the wine glasses of the four people collided together, Chen Tian drank the champagne in the glass, and the cold champagne was so refreshing.

"Justin, welcome back, but can we see the script for your next film in advance? if we can. Michael Parsennecke shrugged.

How could Chen Tian not understand what he meant, and how could Chen Tian disagree with Lionsgate's idea, if he could attract the company to invest, then it would undoubtedly be the best.

Before and after he came here, Chen Tian came out of the St. Denis Film Festival with the hope that he would be appreciated by other companies.

In that way, he can not only get funds, but also get a lot of more shooting resources, which is far better than shooting films alone.

"No problem, I'll sort out the script after I go back, and I should be able to see you tomorrow, and I'll see you next time." Chen Tian waved his hand and walked to the bus stop, and Michael Parsennecke looked at Chen Tian's back and smiled.

"He promised to send us the script, and if it's really good, we must not miss it. ”

"Really, that's great, I hope we don't disappoint, we need a good script so much, and he's a very talented young man aside. Tom Thornberg said with a smile.

Chen Tian, who was standing on the bus platform, hugged the briefcase in his hand tightly, as if he was afraid that the briefcase would slip out of his hand.

This is the first fruit of his dream, and it all seems to be still in a dream.

Chen Tian pinched himself hard, and couldn't help but gasp in pain: "It hurts, it's true." ”

Although Santa Monica is beautiful, Chen Tian just wants to go back as soon as possible at this moment.

"James, we made it, really made it, it's a million check, it's my contract with them. ”

Wen Ziren looked at the thing in front of him and showed an unbelievable look: "OH, Justin, you are amazing, the luckiest thing in my life is to meet you." ”

"I don't like men, I like women. Chen Tian said with a smile, "They asked me to send him our script, and their meaning is very clear, they want to see if the script is good and see if they can invest it, what do you think?"

Wen Ziren also put away his joyful expression and muttered: "Actually, I think the scripts of "Super Burger King" and "Chainsaw" that I am preparing now can be sent to them, but we don't need to accept their investment, although there are many benefits, there will also be many disadvantages. ”

Seeing that Chen Tian did not speak, Wen Ziren continued: "We now have the funds to complete the filming of these two films, although the money may make us have to be careful in every place, but we have the initiative.

Whether it's selling to them or to someone else, we're the ones on the initiative.

If they invest, we're just a guy working for them, do you think we're going to be able to sign a contract like this?"

Wen Ziren's words were not bad at all, and Chen Tian was also a little annoyed that he was dizzy with joy: "James Xie Lu thank you, I almost forgot about this, I have been stunned by the joy of victory, if it weren't for you......"

"We're partners. Wen Ziren put his arm on Chen Tian's shoulder, "Do you want to drink to celebrate?"

"That's a must, but before I can do that, I need to call someone. ”

"Scarlett, isn't that right? I, the inconsequential one, leave first. Wen Ziren left Chen Tian's room with a smile.

"Xiaoren, why did you come out. Grandma Wang, who was watching TV, saw Wen Ziren come out and asked.

"He?" Wen Ziren pointed to the door and smiled, "He has to report the happy event to an important person, Grandma Wang may see a celebrity granddaughter-in-law soon." ”

Hearing Wen Ziren's words, Grandma Wang immediately turned off the TV: "Xiaoren, tell your grandmother which one it is, how is the person, what does it look like, will it be bad for our family Xiaotian."

Those stars are all very big, my Xiaotian has nothing, will you play with my Xiaotian's feelings, Xiaoren, you and I have a good talk. ”

Seeing Grandma Wang's anxious appearance, Wen Ziren laughed: "Grandma Wang, don't worry, this girl is the heroine of our movie."

The key person is very good and has no temper and works very seriously, anyway, you will definitely be satisfied, I won't say more, lest he blame me for talking too much. ”
