Chapter 545: A Rogue Meets a Soldier
Hooligans are not terrible, and it is not scary to be educated and reasonable, but what is terrible is the combination of the two, hooligans began to reason and pretend to be cultural people, and people took the full ticket for the zoo, saying that Lao Tzu gave the full amount when he bought the ticket, but your zoo only opened a part of the area, what does this mean?
This is deceiving consumers, this is fraud, this is a commercial fraud of Chiguoguohong!
The staff of the zoo came up to persuade us that we were making a movie, please understand. The hooligan said that I am not your father, so I forgive you like this? If you want to understand, it's okay, either ten times the compensation, or let's go in and see, what kind of movie is made, is it the kind that is not suitable for children?
Ten times the compensation money, the tickets of a dozen gangsters have to be compensated for several thousand, the money is not much, but if they lose it today, they will have to come again tomorrow, and they will come every day in the future, and the zoo will raise this group of 'dads'. Besides, compensate them, what do others say?
The employees who came to persuade found the security department, Lao Dong rushed over with a group of security guards, and before Lao Dong spoke, the two gangsters who took the lead played scoundrels, lying on the ground, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, shouting that anyway, your zoo is the underworld, the store is a bully, and a group of hooligans bully people, this is an old trick of the zoo. If you want to fight, you can fight, if you don't fight back, then you will have your own public opinion.
Lao Dong's nose was crooked, and a group of hooligans ran to the zoo to make trouble, pointing to their noses and scolding his security guards for being 'underworld', isn't this a thief shouting to catch a thief.
made a call to Su Ming, Su Ming listened to Lao Dong's words relayed by the other party, and he understood seven or eight points in his heart, which was obviously to find a place for the smashing of the car a few days ago.
Let them watch, isn't it filming.
A hole was opened in the filming area, and more than a dozen thugs rushed in, ready to make some trouble and stir up the filming crew, but when they arrived at the scene, the thugs were dumbfounded.
More than 100 sturdy men, one by one holding iron rods and steel whips, **** upper body showing iron-like muscles, with a cold expression, looking at them expressionlessly...... Not far away, an officer in an armed police uniform was crouching behind the camera and watching the camera.
Xiucai met Bing, and it was unreasonable; What if a rogue meets a soldier......
"Okay, good, it's a good movie, you're busy, you're busy, you're busy, ......" The thug who took the lead laughed and turned to leave, and after leaving the filming area, he trotted and left the zoo without looking back, and never appeared again.
Aside from this little episode, the filming went smoothly. Guo Zijian mixed up step by step from the bottom of the set, he has done almost all the positions in the crew, and he has a very high grasp of the shooting work, so he doesn't need Su Mingcao to worry at all.
Su Ming's main energy is spent on the future distribution of the film.
Whether a movie can make money in the end is a reason for the quality of the movie itself, and the publicity of the film in the early stage is a reason.
Don't talk about the quality of the movie, the publicity is limited by the total investment, Su Ming is not ready to invest too much in this 'testing the waters', and only uses Weibo and live broadcast platforms for simple publicity. The local box office in Yangchuan City should not be too bad, because this movie has been deeply branded as 'Yangchuan City', and local audiences will cheer for it.
But if you want to build momentum on a large scale across the country, it will cost you a lot of money, according to the general law, a movie with an investment of 100 million yuan, if you want to effectively publicize it nationwide, the publicity cost may account for one-third to one-half.
In addition to the quality and publicity of the movie, what really determines the box office is the scheduling of major theaters.
No matter how well the movie is made, no matter how good the publicity is, the movie theater just doesn't schedule films for you, a total of 100 movies are shown in a theater a day, and you will be scheduled for two, and they are all at half past two in the middle of the night, what can you do? Even no matter how good a movie is, there is no box office to speak of.
Many big bad movies can achieve amazing box office, while some good films are miserable and pitiful at the box office, which has nothing to do with the filming of theaters. Su Ming has encountered this situation, some movies have more than a dozen shows a day, and they will be released for one or two months in a row, and some movies will be released for a total of three or five days, and when they know that they will be released, they will find that they have been released, and of course the box office gap is large.
It can be said that the theater chain determines the life and death of the movie.
Twenty or thirty years ago, when the Xiangjiang Film Market was at its hottest, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Depot, and Xinbao competed for hegemony, which was completely a history. The Dragon Five, who was killed from that era, couldn't be clearer about the importance of the theater chain.
Of course, in addition to factors such as private transactions and suppression of opponents, the most important thing is whether the theater is optimistic about this movie. Theaters also want to make money, and if they think that they may be profitable, they will have more rows, and vice versa.
Su Ming's film...... There are no big directors, no famous actors, no big investment, and the fan base is ordinary, which may be worth mentioning, that is, Long Wu is the producer, and Zhang Jiahui is the producer.
This classmate Zhang Jiahui, Su Ming has never seen him from beginning to end.
In terms of cinemas, Su Ming has nothing to do with it, he has called several cinemas, but they don't buy it at all, there are a few smaller cinemas, for the sake of Su Ming's halo face, he gave a 5% shooting rate and a three-day release time.
This is a piece of!
However, a few middle-aged theaters got the news of the zoo's filming, and at first they showed interest in cooperation, but as soon as they heard that it was a horror film, there was no love element, no star effect, and their attitude immediately dropped to the freezing point.
Not only did Su Ming have no way, but even Zhao Yun was helpless this time, and it was rare to find a legitimate industry that he was not involved in.
can do theaters, and the backstage is big and scary. The movie is a big cake, the box office income itself, the surrounding industries of the film and the various benefits brought by it are amazing, and those who are qualified to get involved in this industry and set up a theater chain are all domestic giants.
For example, Wanda, there is no need to give Su Ming a representative of the National People's Congress to save face, no matter how good the Russian Airborne Division is, can it still send troops to occupy Wanda Plaza?
One can only count on Long Five.
"Brother Ten, you, a producer, always have to come out and speak at this time." Su Ming said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"I knew that you called me to schedule films, and I said earlier that you would make some commercial films, but you didn't listen, you had to take the literary route......" Long Wu had already classified Su Ming as a 'feeling' literary young man in his heart, and thought that he was making movies to realize his dream.
"Brother Ten said that these useless things are done, can you help or not?" Su Ming asked.
"Wow, the current offspring is really arrogant and threatens me." Long Wu laughed on the other end of the phone: "Okay, there is a future life, I will help you fight for it, but then in front, no one is optimistic about your film, I dare not say how much I can get, in short, I try my best." ”
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ten." (To be continued.) )
