Xu Bai's study is very large, and the collection of books is also very large, full of bookish atmosphere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shi Xuan, to be honest, I was very shocked by your film!"

"Director Xu, you are a big name in the industry, how do you think of the market potential of "Battle of the Stars"?"

"Under normal circumstances, the domestic market will definitely surpass the previously popular "The Return of the Great Sage". And this kind of film is also very suitable for foreign markets, if the operation can keep up, it should be able to compete with "Iron Man" and "The Avengers", which are box office hits! ”

The domestic box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" is more than 900 million, and if it is surpassed, it must be more than 1 billion, as for the foreign box office, "Iron Man" and "The Avengers" are all blockbusters ranked within the top ten at the box office.

It seems that Xu Bai is very optimistic about the market potential of "Battle of the Stars", which is the same as his own opinion.

Shi Xuan is very excited, he is getting closer and closer to completing Guan Mingde's requirements, and with this movie, he should be able to reach the level of more than 10 million yuan a year.

Seeing Shi Xuan's expression, Xu Bai smiled slightly, and said, "However, this is just the box office that may be achieved in normal operations. ”

"What does Director Xu mean?"

"There are many factors that affect the box office of a movie, and of course, the most important thing is the quality of the film itself. There are also theater schedules, publicity investment, competition for films in the same period, and whether it is a holiday...... and a series of other factors will affect the box office results. ”

Looking at the stunned Shi Xuan, Xu Bai smiled and continued: "Just talking about the theater schedule, it also depends on whether the movie theater schedule time is golden time or garbage time, whether it is a big theater or a small theater, which will seriously affect the box office results. ”

"There are many unspoken rules, and audio-visual companies rely on public relations to help them find that it is almost an unwritten unspoken rule to use public relations fees or rebates to hit theater managers. So some bad movies will also have good box office performance, and the hidden twists and turns in this will give you a newcomer in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in ten days and ten nights. ”

Shi Xuan smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect it to be so complicated. So according to what you mean by Xu Dao, how should I sell this film? The team that made it is currently in need of funding. ”

Xu Bai nodded: "I understand very much." After all, to make such special effects, Star Digital Studio estimated that it cost a lot of money, and it is normal to need to return it. ”

Shi Xuan nodded, of course he couldn't tell Xu Bai that the Star Field Digital Studio team was nothing, and it only took a little bit of his time and mental work to make this "Battle of the Stars".

Of course, Xu Bai would not find out about this fact, thought about it for a while, and said: "I suggest that you can choose a large-scale audio-visual company to cooperate, Star Digital will provide the film "Battle of the Stars", and other market operations will be handed over to the audio-visual company, I believe that it can achieve a good box office." It's just that in this way, a lot of profits will have to be ceded to the audio-visual company. ”

Shi Xuan nodded in agreement, wherever the money can be earned by himself, cooperating with others and sharing profits is the king.

Seeing this, Xu Bai said: "I also know some CEOs of audio-visual companies, I can recommend them to you." ”

Shi Xuan wanted this, without Xu Bai's connection, he took the film to the audio-visual company himself, and it was estimated that he would be kicked out if he couldn't even see the person in charge.

"Then it's troublesome for Director Xu. If it can be done, I am willing to give you a million from the box office proceeds as a referral fee. "If "Decisive Battle of the Starry Sky" can get normal market operations, Shi Xuan is confident that it will be better than "The Return of the Great Sage", and taking out one million from the income is nothing.

Xu Bai laughed when he heard this, and shook his head: "I don't want your money. ”

"I also know that Director Xu didn't help me for money, but apart from money, I don't know how to repay you."

Xu Bai stretched out two fingers, "You promise me two things!" I'll do you a favor and I won't charge a penny. ”

"Oh? Director Xu, please speak. ”

"One, in a few months, I'm going to start shooting a new movie, and you're trying to get Star Digital to work with me to make special effects. Of course, I will give a generous production fee according to the rules of the market. ”

In Xu Bai's heart, this Star Field Digital must be a very large technical team, otherwise it would be impossible to make such amazing special effects, but I don't know why I want to hide it, I have never heard of any clues before.

Shi Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, this was too simple, and hurriedly said, "No problem!" ”

Xu Bai asked suspiciously, "You don't need to ask the team leader's opinion?" ”

Shi Xuan waved his hand: "Something like this, I can decide it all. ”

When Xu Bai heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Shi Xuan a few more times, it was not easy for this young man to be so trusted by the technical team.

"What is Director Xu's second thing?" Shi Xuan asked again.

"As for the second piece, it's very simple, you promised to be the protagonist of my new movie."

Xu Bai noticed when he watched it just now that although "The Battle of the Stars" is a special effects cartoon, which is a bit different from live-action shooting, the protagonist is set up based on Shi Xuan's appearance.

From the effect presented in the film, Xu Bai confirmed his judgment, Shi Xuan is very popular with the audience, and he is definitely a person who should be an actor by nature.

Shi Xuan thought about it for a while, then nodded: "No problem!" ”

Previously, Shi Xuan had rejected Xu Bai's invitation, at that time it was because he was worried that he would not have time to make money while making movies, and if the movie "Battle of the Stars" was a big hit this time, he would not have to worry about making money at all.

Xu Bai was also stunned when he saw that Shi Xuan had agreed so happily this time, he thought that Shi Xuan would have to think about it for a while.

Soon, Xu Bai reacted, laughed, and asked, "I recommend you to cooperate with Black Hole Media, I have a little friendship with their vice president Ou Jun, what do you think?" ”

Black Hole Media, a media company established at the end of the last century, has become the largest private media and entertainment group in China after nearly 20 years of development.

But there are also disadvantages to choosing a large company, that is, you will be at a disadvantage when negotiating, and you may have to divide more profits to it. But these are all follow-up matters, contact first, and then negotiate slowly, after all, the quality of "Battle of the Stars" is there.

Shi Xuan thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed.

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll call him now!"

After a while, Xu Bai finished the phone call and said to Shi Xuan: "Unfortunately, Ou Jun is now on a business trip to the United States. But it doesn't matter, he will call back to China to arrange, and tomorrow we will go to the branch of Black Hole Media in Huacheng to find the person in charge of Huacheng's business and talk about the preliminary intention first. ”

Shi Xuan naturally agreed.

Xu Bai said with a smile: "It's almost lunch time, there is a good restaurant next to it, call the two beauties in the living room, let's go to have a meal together, it can be regarded as a celebration of today's happy events!" ”

"That's a good idea." Shi Xuan also smiled in agreement.
