Chapter 355: The Battle for the Screen
"It's not impossible, I can nominate you, but I want to show public support for you to the leadership of the group...... I'm afraid this will be difficult......"
Chu Qiubai said, and said slowly: "Xiao Gu, I know what you think, but I still hope that you can put your mind on the work, I don't want this administrative problem to distract you, not to mention that the co-production studio is a bit heavy, I'm afraid you will find it too difficult......"
Chu Qiubai didn't mind Gu Xiaofan being the leader of the joint production studio, but I am afraid that the leaders of the group would not agree to this matter, after all, there are so many old people, Gu Xiaofan has only been here for a year, and his seniority has not yet arrived. γNo pop-up novel networkγ&
"Well...... You have a point, too. Gu Xiaofan was not disappointed at all when he heard this, and nodded and said:
"In this case, you have to fully support Director He as the general manager of the joint factory, and at the same time, you must completely decentralize the joint factory, and the group cannot interfere with the production content of the studio."
At this time, Chu Qiubai couldn't help but squint his eyes, okay, you kid is calculating on me, you deliberately raised the conditions first, and then bargained for me.
Gu Xiaofan's purpose is to put it bluntly, that is, to let the group let go of the joint factory and let the joint factory develop, but the group must fully support it......
In fact, He Tiejun is the general manager of the joint factory, which is not much different from him Gu Xiaofan himself......
Compared with him Gu Xiaofan being the general manager, this proposal to delegate power is much more reasonable, although Chu Qiubai knew that Gu Xiaofan was playing tricks, he still felt relieved, and said:
"Okay, I can consider this, but if the group wants to delegate power to you, you must also make achievements."
Gu Xiaofan was about to hear this, but on the surface, he was very cautious: "What achievements do you want me to make?" β
"That's it, if your "Dear" can get the results of "Chinese Partner...... Then I will grant your request. Chu Qiubai thought about it and put forward a condition that he thought was extremely harsh.
As soon as Gu Xiaofan heard this, his eyes lit up directly: "Mr. Chu, what do you say?" β
"En......" Chu Qiubai was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, then I'll immediately hand over this script to the Reflection Association for review, and then confirm our schedule~" Saying that, Gu Xiaofan went out with excitement on his face.
Looking at Gu Xiaofan's fiery back, Chu Qiubai was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that my conditions are too low...... "Chinese Partner" took 140 million......"
At this time, Xiao Chen, the secretary who had been avoiding in the back room, came out, and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly and said, "You really promised him?" This director Gu is a god, I wonder if he can really surpass "Chinese Partner"......"
Chu Qiubai directly turned the computer screen and said, "You can take a look at the outline of this story yourself." β
Xiao Chen looked at the outline of the story a little, and immediately shook his head:
"This story is so tragic, I see who plays and who dies...... Ge Youlai was useless, he actually shot it from a dual perspective...... also filmed the trafficker's wife...... This is not scolded to death by the audience...... You really should have rejected him outright. β
Chu Qiubai didn't answer, just looked out the window with a wry smile, what can be done, a person like Gu Xiaofan acts arbitrarily and arbitrarily, he can only tolerate it, otherwise if he runs away in a fit of anger, then the sky will fall.
The next morning, as soon as Gu Xiaofan arrived at the art factory, he announced the news at the meeting, and Deputy Director Wang and a group of production directors were all fried.
"Director Gu, are you going to slap the subject of abduction~!?" "Don't think about it, we will be filming this kind of art film in the future~ Now let's focus on the box office."
"You must think about it carefully, it's better for us to choose a more conservative theme."
In the midst of everyone's opposition, only He Tiejun did not speak, just looked at Gu Xiaofan and asked, "Are you confident that you can recover the cost?" β
"Yes." Gu Xiaofan nodded, although the theme of this film is very unpopular, but the quality is there after all, as long as there is a suitable publicity method, he believes that there should be no problem in reaching the box office of "Chinese Partner", after all, his promotional methods for the film this time are probably unimaginable to everyone.
"Okay, then it's decided, the whole art factory will cooperate with Director Gu's work." After He Tiejun listened, he announced his position without hesitation, much to everyone's surprise.
Gu Xiaofan just looked at He Tiejun and nodded, after many run-ins, the two have established an incomparable sense of trust, no matter what decision Gu Xiaofan makes, He Tiejun is 100% convinced and supported.
At this time, I heard Sun Bin next to him suddenly ask: "By the way, Director Gu, this time we are going to go to the Chinese New Year file, this time we have to declare the number of screens screened in the first week of the Distribution and Projection Association, how many do you think is good?" β
Although the schedule has been set for the Chinese New Year, you have to fight for how much you can shoot on the screen.
In December this year, only 3 movies were released, China Film's "Casting Names", Huayi's "Assembly Number", and "Dear", and the distribution of the number of screens is very convenient.
Excluding the share of those movies left in November, the rest should be about 3,000 yuan.
Now the studio has to report its numbers to see how many screens it expects to approve in the first week, so that it can see how many copies are produced.
"Let's fill in 800." Gu Xiaofan thought for a while and said, according to the level of 1,000 yuan in "Chinese Partner", this number should be about the same.
Everyone at the scene was silent, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, they thought Gu Xiaofan was simply crazy, do you want to make 800 copies of this kind of theme? Isn't this pure death......
Gu Xiaofan looked at He Tiejun's strange expression, and couldn't help asking, "Is there any problem?" "He Tiejun's reaction is not normal.
He Tiejun said with a complicated face: "Director Gu, I'm afraid you don't know, the Chinese New Year file is not the same as other periods, because there is a domestic film protection policy, so the number of screens is mainly determined by the evaluation and voting of various theaters, not according to past results, our joint theater line only has a share of 200 screens, and I am afraid that it is too realistic to fight for 800 yuan......"
This made Gu Xiaofan feel a little surprised, and asked strangely: "Isn't it true that if other people don't give us the screen, we can only show it in our group's joint theater?" Then we can not release them, right? Isn't this killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself? β
Although Shangying's United Cinema Line only has 200 screens, it is a part of the market share after all.
"The voting of the theater chain is a share, and after the decision is made, it will be evenly distributed in each movie theater, and after it is determined, no matter which theater chain, all the movies will be released, just arrange the number of screens according to the proportion of the vote, and there is no blocking of the other party." He Tiejun explained.
Gu Xiaofan then understood, and his heart was suddenly a little speechless, he didn't expect that there would be this regulation, but thinking about it, they had no choice but to declare this number first, as for how much it could be approved, it could only be left to fate...... I hope that Han Sanpin and Wang Zhongjun can share a little bit of him...... As long as there are 400 screens, that should be enough
