Next chapter

Soon, the information of "Zootopia" was sent to Mr. Ling's mailbox.

At first glance, Mr. Ling's eyes lit up.

It can be seen that this is a horror film, horror films are in a sluggish state now, but with the addition of 'animals' as a selling point, the situation is different, he has been in the industry for many years, and Mr. Ling's experience tells him that this film may be very interesting!

After opening the email and seeing the specific information, Mr. Ling's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and his disappointment could not be concealed.

Investor: Taoyuan Entertainment;

Producer: Su Ming;

Total investment amount: 10 million yuan in Huaxia;

Patiently, he continued to look down.

Director: Guo Zijian

Starring:Nangong Huang,Zhao Chengcheng......

After reading all the information about the movie, Mr. Ling lost his little 'good feelings' before this film, and basically didn't have any hope.

If it weren't for the fact that the maker was Long Wu, Mr. Ling would almost classify this film as a domestic small movie. There are several similarities in this type of film, a small investment, a fourth-tier big-breasted actress whose salary is not as good as that of entertainment, and a director who thinks she is talented but is actually a micro-film at best.

There are many such films in theaters every year, but most of them are to give face to related households, and they will be released within a day or two, and the national box office will be hundreds of thousands, or even only hundreds of thousands, which means just that, no one expects to make money from it.

Mr. Ling picked up the phone and called the assistant in.

"What do you think of this film?" Mr. Ling asked the assistant.

Recently, several blockbusters have been released in a row, and the assistant is also very busy, listening to Mr. Ling's question, he shook his head and showed a helpless smile: "It's just to give Mr. Xiang some face, I thought he was going to praise his son at first, but after reading the movie information, I knew that this film was simply meaningless, the theme was the most unpopular horror film, there were no famous directors, no stars, and even the investment was only 10 million ......"

Mr. Ling interrupted the assistant's analysis and said directly: "I'm not optimistic either." Have you seen the dailies? ”

"No, the other party didn't give a sample, it is said that it is being filmed, and the filming will be followed by the production of zuò after the completion of the shooting, and then it will be released immediately." The assistant smiled disdainfully: "This is too unprofessional." ”

"What does it mean that you don't even show dailies?" Mr. Ling was stunned. If you let the theater release the film, you have to let the theater first see how the film goes, even if there is no big investment and big director, if the professionals in the theater feel that the film does have commercial potential, they will give some care.

He has been in the industry for so many years, and he has rarely come across a movie without a sample film. This kind of movie is without exception for the same reason, either the investor doesn't even expect to make money, or spends money to make the heroine; Either it's a small system, in a hurry, thinking about the release and showing your face and leaving.

All in all, no matter what the reason, it's a bad movie.

"It is said that the biggest highlight of this film is that it is all shot with real animals, without animation and special effects." The assistant continued.

"With such a little investment, where do you get the animation special effects? All animal ...... Hmph, it's probably a pseudo-documentary, zoo, what else can be filmed, it's nothing more than animal protection. ”

Mr. Ling shook his head, completely lost any hope for this film, and asked, "You didn't bite Mr. Xiang to the filming rate and release times, did you?" ”

"No, of course, it is up to you to decide these things, Mr. Ling, how dare I overstep my bounds." The assistant laughed.

Hearing what the assistant said, Mr. Ling was relieved, thought about it, and said, "In this way, you can arrange it, and this film will be released in the second week of the summer file." ”

"Summer file, second week?" The assistant was slightly stunned, the first week was prime time, and there were several large-scale productions.

"I know, in this way, I can be regarded as giving Mr. Xiang enough face. His film is not good, then you can't blame me, as for the film schedule, it is tentatively scheduled to be released for a week, and the filming rate should not exceed 3%, and the time is all placed in the morning and night shows. Mr. Ling said.

A 3% shot rate, sounds low. But compared with many domestic small films, Mr. Ling really gave Long Wu face.

At that time, Wang Xiaoshuai, a famous fifth-generation Chinese director, won a high reputation in the world, and the industry has always considered it to be the best film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, but when it was released, the national theater chain only gave it a 1.5% film scheduling rate, and most of the films were scheduled before 11 o'clock in the morning and after 10 o'clock in the evening.

And Su Ming, the horror zootopia, whether it is director or investment, is far less prestigious in the industry than an intruder.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." The assistant nodded, "Mr. Ling, all the movie theaters below have called to ask, have the other films released at the same time been decided." ”

"I see, I'll send it to you in the afternoon." Ling Zongdao.

In a small episode, Mr. Ling turned off the information of the Horror Zoo and turned on the internal system to finalize the schedule of several other movies.

Get rid of this zoo that is destined not to make money, and the other films that are ready to be released in the second week of the summer season have a strong lineup, all of which are blockbusters that make money, and Mr. Ling's mood suddenly brightened.

The Taoist priest directed by Cheng Kaige went down the mountain, Wang Baoqiang, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Zhen, Fan Wei, Lin Chiling and other big names co-starred, with an investment of 400 million!

The filming was set at 16.9%.

Guilty ransom, the quality of imported blockbusters introduced by Hollywood seems to be average at present, but in view of the box office of imported films, the film schedule can also reach 10%;

Small Times 4, this is the top priority of the summer file, the small era adapted from the novel has a large number of fan groups, and the box office success of the first three parts, especially the moviegoers targeted by the small times, the vast majority of them are young people, and now it is the summer file, which is just in time.

Mr. Ling thought about it for a long time, and finally gave an amazing film schedule, 60%!

I am a passerby, director Er Dongsheng's new work, a pseudo-record of literary films, it is difficult to sell well, but such a film that records the history of ordinary people's struggle also has a certain market, and it has 8% of the film schedule;

Zhang Zhen tells a story...... Well, it's also a human love movie in the industry, invested by Li Bingbing and Ren Quan, a small-scale zuò, a horror film, for the sake of the face of the relationship, it is also ranked 8%;

After filming, Mr. Ling stretched his waist, looked through the next few steps of the film that will be released in the third and fourth weeks, and browsed it roughly.

The youth film gardenia blooms, and the animation masterpiece zuò Monster Hunt; BBC imported cartoon Shaun the Sheep, hanged men big movie Pancake Man...... It is worthy of the summer file of the dragon fight, and various film companies have come up with masterpieces, and any film may bring an amazing box office.

There is also a film that makes Mr. Ling a little unsure: the return of the great sage of Journey to the West.

This is a domestic animated film, the whole film has gone through 8 years of gestation, 3 years of production, the investment was interrupted halfway, and the crew barely finished filming by raising money by themselves.

Mr. Ling has a similar opinion to the general opinion in the industry, this film is a sentimental work of domestic cartoons, and it will definitely be released, but due to lack of funds and no pre-publicity, the industry is unanimously not optimistic about the box office of this cartoon. Mr. Ling finally thought about it, gave a 6% film, and tried the water.

Finally, he took a look at 'Zootopia', and Mr. Ling thought to himself, why do you have to be released in the summer file, if you change to the off-season, maybe you can earn back millions of dollars, and the summer file is a dragon fight, this film is pure cannon fodder. (To be continued.) )
