204. Solution
PS: Thank you for the precious monthly pass, it's almost ten o'clock when I get home today, so I have to distribute it together, sorry. In addition, ask for recommended votes and subscriptions, the results are too dismal, and they are about to be kicked out of the 30 places in the classification.
The company in the world is still in the conference room.
All the high-level personnel gathered in this large room again, but this time their faces were obviously a little more confident than the gloomy face of the first time.
In front of them was a report, which Ye Sumang had stayed up all night and combined the information of this array with the results of his own conjectures.
"Everyone must have read the report carefully." Ye Sumang stood on the rostrum and asked seriously.
Everyone nodded, and then looked at Ye Sumang expectantly.
"So I'm going to focus on analyzing this report." Ye Sumang nodded with satisfaction, and then wrote two '25' numbers on the electronic blackboard behind him, one followed by a greater than sign, and the other followed by a less than sign.
"The reason why we lost at the box office in the first week was because of this number!" Ye Sumang lightly clicked the two numbers with the electronic pen in his hand.
Since Ye Sumang got the information from his subordinates who kept feeding back, after his gradual analysis, he finally found the biggest reason for the box office failure, all because of the age group of the fans who watched it.
Night? "Shop" and "No Thieves in the World" are suitable for all ages, and "Youth Singing and Dancing" is for students, so if you want to understand it, you can deeply experience "What If? The essence of the story of "Love" must be the elderly.
They have rich life experience, because of their age, no matter where they are, they have faced the reality of society and have the helplessness to live their own lives. aiqing is also closer to the real feelings in the movie, and only people of this age group can more easily understand this movie and appreciate the deep meaning of this movie.
So this time "What If? The age group of "Love" is positioned because it is correct to focus on the age of 25 and above.
Most of the fans who entered the theater this week were under the age of 25. And the reason why they went was obviously attracted by the previous title of "Youth Singing and Dancing", and they wanted to see how Ye Sumang's song and dance film was.
And the result is that it is difficult for them to appreciate the essence of the film without experiencing social training, but they are confused to watch, and as a result, they complain on the Internet, which indirectly lowers the "What If? Love", which also affected the more rational audience over the age of 25, making them reluctant to buy tickets and enter the film again.
"What we need to do now is to redeem the previous market positioning problem. Focus on publicity for audiences over the age of 25, and the follow-up promotional videos should also immediately contact the theaters for emergency online measures, and invest another 5 million as publicity expenses. ”
Ye Sumang looked at the lowly employees and ordered everything seriously.
The reason has been found, and the rest depends on whether his countermeasures can cope with this level, but Ye Sumang is very confident in this, after all, the quality of his movies is real. I'm afraid that you won't come, as long as you dare to come. I'm going to make you think it's worth it.
However, just when Ye Sumang was arranging a burst of publicity, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and he called in to see that it was his secretary Li Meng.
"Mr. Ye, there are some things that you need to deal with alone." Li Meng's face was a little ugly, but he still said softly to Ye Sumang. As if he was afraid of angering him.
"Got it." Ye Sumang nodded, and handed over the assistant beside him who had already made a propaganda jihua to everyone, and then followed Li Meng out of the conference room.
Until he entered Ye Sumang's own office and closed the door, Ye Sumang didn't have time to ask Li Meng. The phone on the desk rang again.
"Manager Ma?" Looking at the caller number, Ye Sumang asked with a smile.
"Hey, Boss Ye, I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." As the earliest cinema manager who cooperated with Ye Sumang, Ma Fatzi has not eaten Ye Sumang's benefits over the years, and because of Ye Sumang's line, his status in the cinema has also risen.
This time he called, and he must have something important to do.
Sure enough, soon Ma Fatzi explained his intention to call.
"Brother Ye, my brother wants to give you a wake-up call this time, because of your box office, many boards of directors within the theater chain are discussing the matter of reducing the number of screenings, and the theater chain on my brother's side is naturally letting us press down, but the brother of other theaters can't be the master, it depends on your means, I don't mean anything else to call, I just want to give you a reminder, don't be attacked by those plague-stricken guys at that time, and cover your head."
Ma Fatzi's words are sincere, to be honest, he is also one of the few people who don't want Ye Sumang to fail, after all, there is a deep relationship of interests between the two, and there is also a lot of friendship, which is the reason why Ma Fatzi is unwilling to see Ye Sumang fail.
"Brother Ma, xiexie, your news, next time I come to Beijing, I will treat you to eat haode."
"That's settled, haha!"
Ma Fatzi's reminder made Ye Sumang's calm heart can't help but skip a beat, but he recovered in an instant, answered a few words in a deep voice, and then hung up the phone.
However, he didn't immediately fall into thought, but turned to ask Li Meng, after all, looking at Li Meng's face just now, it seemed that there was also a 'bad thing'.
"What the hell is going on?"
"That's right, Mr. Ye, a few owners of small theaters came over today and said that they wanted to discuss with you, hoping to reduce the number of "If? The question of the number of screenings of "Love". After saying this, Li Meng looked at Ye Sumang with some concern, but found that the big boss of his family only frowned slightly, and his face was even as calm as the water of Tianchi, and there was no change at all.
"Go according to the contract, promise them as long as the rules are met, and I just hope they don't regret it." Ye Sumang knocked on the office desktop and said with a smile.
Li Meng looked incredulous on the side, Mr. Ye actually agreed, and he was smiling, which was too abnormal.
"Don't worry, I'll make them regret it, and when the time comes, they'll want to increase the number of screenings. I'll let them pay it back! ”
"Yes!" Li Meng was excited, and hurriedly responded, looking at Ye Sumang with a confident face, the worry in Li Meng's heart was swept away, in his heart Ye Sumang is an omnipotent person, as long as he says it, he will definitely be able to do it.
The little girl has now figured out how to face the bosses of those theaters with a snarky face in the future.
Several small theaters want to reduce the number of broadcasts. This is a wake-up call for Ye Sumang, although the reduction of the number of shows in these small theaters is simply a drop in the bucket for the whole, but Ye Sumang knows that there is an effect called 'chain reaction', and the reduction of the number of broadcasts in these small theaters will undoubtedly gradually affect the large theater line, which is not what Ye Sumang hopes to happen.
Especially just now, Ma Fatzi also gave himself an important piece of news, proving that the hearts of these cinema lines are floating, which is not good, after all, he still has to count on the help of these cinema lines for his turnaround!
However, Ye Sumang, the theater line of other people's houses, can't control it. He can only make up for this measure in another way.
Ye Sumang felt that he couldn't sit still until the market publicity and positioning were sufficient, and he still had to continue to ask for help to stabilize the hearts of these theaters.
Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but aim into the distance, and in the foggy weather, a round of buildings loomed.
That's right, Ye Sumang wants to ask for reinforcements this time. It's at the Kyoto Film Academy.
His idea was very simple, that is, to move his mentor Xie Fei. Let him help talk about the directors of the Directors Association, and use the prestige of the Directors Association to stabilize the military morale of those big theaters.
Think about the overwhelming publicity of one big director after another, "What If? The popularity of the movie "Love" will also rise, the key is that with the help of these professionals, it can also dispel a large part of the movie-watching disgust brought by those young audiences on the Internet. Arousing the goodness of mature people over 25 years old for this movie is definitely a multi-pronged thing.
For this reason, Ye Sumang had already ordered his propaganda department to contact major newspapers and periodicals, including the closest Kyoto Entertainment News and other big newspapers, so that they could keep their pages, and he himself went to the Kyoto Film Academy in person. Ask your mentor to come out.
It's this familiar college again, Ye Sumang, as a member of the directing department, is quite incompetent, most of the semester is spent filming movies outside, although he has not fallen behind in his studies, he is a real 'bad student' who loves to skip class, fortunately, Ye Sumang's film grades are excellent, and he can be regarded as winning glory for the directing department.
When he came to Xie Fei's office, it happened that his mentor was also there, Ye Sumang didn't beat around the bush, and directly said the intention of this time.
"You can ask me for help, but promise me two requests." After hearing this, Xie Fei did not nod immediately, but stretched out two fingers.
Ye Sumang nodded without hesitation, facing his teacher, how could he have the right to bargain.
Seeing Ye Sumang nodding, Xie Fei was also very satisfied, and then said his conditions.
"Su Mang, there is no doubt about your director's strength, and at this point, no tutor in the academy dares to pat his chest and say that he can teach you, so everyone is used to you not coming to the academy often, but you are about to enter your junior year, I think in the past two years in Zuihou, you still have to calm down and settle down."
As soon as Xie Fei said this, Ye Sumang immediately understood, and gradually warmed up in his heart, this condition was for Xie Fei, and it was obviously proposed by Xie Fei in order to take care of himself.
"Mentor, I also think that filming in the past three years has been too tight, and I haven't supplemented my theoretical knowledge well, so I also decided to take a break next year to learn cultural and professional courses." Ye Sumang promised with a smile.
Hearing this, the smile on Xie Fei's face couldn't be hidden, and he patted Ye Sumang's shoulder, an honest student who was finally willing to return to the campus, which was a great thing.
"There's a second thing, which isn't too much of a hassle to say." Xie Fei talked about the second condition in a hurry, and it was rare for the old man to blush, which made Ye Sumang on the opposite side very surprised.
Soon Ye Sumang understood the reason, it turned out that the latest issue of the enrollment promotional video was going to be filmed, and he hesitated about the good effect of Ye Sumang's participation last time, and this time the school leaders agreed that Ye Sumang was also needed to help voluntarily.
Hearing the news, Ye Sumang naturally nodded with a smile.
These two conditions are not a problem for him at all, and obviously Xie Fei has no intention of embarrassing himself, he is completely looking for a step to help him.
"Mentor, Xiexie." Before leaving the office. Ye Sumang solemnly thanked him.
"Ye boy, don't thank me, thank you for the movie you made, "If? I watched "Love", it was very good, and even I was moved to the urge to cry. As long as you can make such an excellent movie in the future, even if I post your two conditions, I think it's worth it to help you!! ”
Until Ye Sumang walked through the campus, he still hadn't eased up for a long time.
Xie Fei's zuihou words really made him feel respected, this is a real filmmaker.
They only applaud excellent films, as long as they are for the development of Chinese films, they are willing to make all efforts, even at any cost, they have the purest love for movies. This is all beyond Ye Sumang's reach now.
"It looks like I still have a lot of improvement." Ye Sumang looked at the misty sky and sighed.
But before he could come out of his thoughts, a sound like a silver bell interrupted him.
"Brother!"
The corners of Ye Sumang's mouth couldn't help but pull up a smile, he didn't need to look back to know who was coming, because there was only one person who Quan Shijie called him like this now, and that was Liu Yifei's little girl.
Sure enough, soon a soft body pounced on his back, and then a faint smell of orchid fragrance lingered on Ye Sumang's body. It is a unique fragrance on the girl's body.
"Girl, look at your madness. Come down, you're a big star, it's bad to be photographed by reporters. Although Ye Sumang reprimanded on his lips, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.
"I'm afraid of my brother and I!" Liu Yifei said unrelentingly, but her body had obediently moved off Ye Sumang's back.
That burst of soft touch made Ye Sumang lose his mind for a moment. But soon he reacted with a red face and coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment he had just had.
"Brother, why did you come to school all of a sudden?" Although Liu Yifei slipped off Ye Sumang's back, she still held Ye Sumang's arm intimately. All the movements were smooth and natural, and he didn't seem to notice the trace of embarrassment in the corners of Ye Sumang's eyes.
It was only when I turned my head that I saw the smug look that flashed in the little girl's eyes.
"Hmph, look at you still treat me like a little girl!"
Not to mention the little Jiujiu in Liu Yifei's heart, Ye Sumang couldn't cry or laugh at the girl's question.
"Girl, I seem to be a student at this school too, why can't I come?"
"Who let you brother, you usually don't come to the academy at all, I guess you can't even remember who your teacher is." The girl was not asked by Ye Sumang's rhetorical question at all, but replied as a matter of course.
Ye Sumang could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, speechless, who made Liu Yifei say it was correct, he really didn't even recognize his mentor.
"Okay, brother, you finally came to the academy once, just accompany me to class." As if seeing Ye Sumang's embarrassed expression, Liu Yifei's eyes rolled and immediately changed the topic.
"Acting class?" Ye Sumang asked rhetorically.
"No, it's art class." Liu Yifei said with a smile: "The acting class has ended today, only the elective courses have not been taken, and I have chosen music and art." ”
When Ye Sumang heard that it was an art class, he was also very interested in it, so he agreed.
After all, with the artistic power brought by memory fragments, Ye Sumang's own art level is definitely not bad, especially sketching.
Usually Ye Sumang also likes to write and paint, and he will directly depict some sub-shots that are difficult to express in words, and he will say good to everyone who has seen it, so Ye Sumang is still very confident in his sketching skills.
It's just that he has never cared too much about this, and he has never taken a professional exam, and he doesn't know what level he is.
The classroom of the art class is in the building of the acting department, in fact, most of the classrooms of the affiliated disciplines in the college are in this latest building, after all, although the film and television school is the most famous in the directing department, it is still the famous acting department externally.
They also have the largest number of students admitted to each year, and naturally they also enjoy the most haode teaching buildings.
When the two of them arrived at the classroom, the teacher had not yet arrived, only a few students were sharpening pencils or sorting out drawing boards, discussing with each other whether it was a still life sketch or a figure sketch today, but when Ye Sumang and Liu Yifei entered the classroom, these people's eyes and topics gradually shifted to these two people.
As a member of the film and television academy, these students' desire to chase stars is naturally much smaller than that of ordinary people, after all, entering this academy is even half of the film and television industry, even if they are still in the academy, they can often come into contact with those big stars on TV, thinking about Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, they can often see it, and naturally they don't care about the arrival of Liu Yifei, a popular star.
But Ye Su Mang is different.
You know, this name is simply a legend in the Kyoto Film Academy, the first place in the entrance to the directing department, but often absenteeism, but the exams in each semester are the best results, and none of them fall back to the second, and the authenticity of the results is even more real, and no one can question it.
What makes them even more admired is that Ye Sumang's dazzling achievements in recent years and his achievements from scratch have made students who yearn for success admire.
Therefore, Ye Sumang is more attractive to them than Liu Yifei, a popular star.
Just when the students were in a commotion, ready to come over collectively to ask for an autograph or something, the teacher of the art class arrived at the class on time.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his thirties, with a slightly thin figure, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose were very eye-catching.
This is not ironic, you must know that when you walk in the academy, many boys have absolutely girls' hairstyles, and it seems that if you don't have such a hairstyle, you can't express your artistic power, but the kind of hairstyle that is just the rule is more 'special' in it.
After the teacher entered the classroom, he glanced at all the students, and frowned when he saw that there were not many people, but after discovering Ye Sumang's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
