After a month and a few days of filming, the movie "First Close Contact" was finally completed at more than 10 o'clock in the morning on November 3.

Of course, the completion of a movie does not mean that it is completed, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the later stage.

One of the most important tasks is to edit the film.

Only when the editing is completed can a movie be considered a little eyebrow-raising.

In addition to this, I also have to do post-dubbing or something, in short, it's still very complicated.

But the most important thing is that it must be submitted for review, and only after the submission is passed can it be qualified to be released in domestic theaters.

If you can't do it, then I'm sorry, all the previous work is in vain, and you may not even be able to recover the cost. Every year, there are films that fail to pass censorship after filming and cannot meet the audience, which is no joke.

The greatest possibility is that during the review process, the relevant national departments will give amendments, and the filmmaker needs to reshoot and re-edit according to the opinions.

Only after the revision, it is submitted for review again and approved for release, which is the end.

So, a submittal is the most important thing.

Ren Gangyi has done a serious study of domestic film censorship standards, and in the process of filming and post-editing, he also pays attention to avoiding this, and he has a good network in the circle.

In his estimation, passing the trial should not be a big problem.

Ren Gangyi is now struggling with the question of when to put the screening time.

On the morning of November 5th, Superstar Time and Space Beijing Branch, Ren Gangyi's office.

Xiao Fei and Ren Gangyi were talking.

"During the Spring Festival, there are too many strong films, "Jurassic Park 2", "Party A and Party B", "A Good Person" and so on are all released together, if our "First Close Contact" is also lively, I suspect the box office will not be much better." Ren Gangyi said to Xiao Fei.

"Jurassic Park 2" became popular after its release in North America, and there was a lot of publicity for it in China, and the popularity was predictable.

"Party A and Party B" is Feng Xiaogang's first mainland Chinese New Year blockbuster, and the publicity is also very strong. Xiao Fei knew that this movie finally received a box office of 36 million.

"A Good Guy" is Jackie Chan's latest movie, and its performance is also very eye-catching.

It is not true to say that there are many strong films this year. Not only the above movies, but the world-famous "Titanic" is also about to land in China. The schedule may be in the Spring Festival.

But Xiao Fei doesn't think that "First Close Contact" is much worse than those imported blockbusters, Hong Kong films, and movies made by well-known mainland directors.

"The First Close Contact" is first and foremost a hot book, and the novel is popular in China. Especially among teenagers and urban white-collar workers, it has a huge influence and has accumulated a large audience base.

Secondly, "The First Close Contact", under its own leadership, is consciously constantly hyped through casting. Through the online chat tools used by the male and female protagonists, and through gimmicks such as the main actors are all students from famous schools in Qingbei, it has successfully stirred up public opinion across the country.

Finally, the movie "First Close Contact" is really good, with delicate shots, ups and downs, and finally a reflection on the meaning of life.

Overall, the film is a pretty good commercial film.

If he had already operated to such a point, he still couldn't make the movie popular, Xiao Fei felt. That would be incredible.

"The Spring Festival file is the best time, if you can get on, it is still as good as possible for the Spring Festival file, Brother Ren, I think, we can't be presumptuous, our "First Close Contact" is not worse than other people's movies, we should be confident!" Xiao Fei said with a smile.

Ren Gangyi scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Fei, the number of theaters in major cities across the country is certain, and so many blockbusters are crowded together. The resources are just that, and when the film is scheduled, it is natural that the blockbuster film will occupy most of the resources, and the number of shows we can schedule is estimated to be very few, and the film schedule is few. Then the box office will definitely be less, what do you say? ”

As soon as a blockbuster movie is released, it always has to occupy a large number of scheduled screenings, which is a matter of common sense.

In 1997, the vast majority of cinemas across the country were still state-run cinemas, and private cinemas only appeared in some southern cities.

The number of cinemas and screens is much smaller than in later generations.

A big city. It's good to have six or seven movie theaters. Most movie theaters have only one screen and one screening hall.

Resources are really too few.

If there are many blockbuster films, then correspondingly, other movies will have to reduce the number of screenings.

Ren Gangyi doesn't think that his "First Close Contact" can be comparable to the imported blockbuster of the darling of the film company.

"Huh! Brother Ren, if that's the case, then let's buck the trend, if we are just starting to be less scheduled, and our movie performance is very hot, I still don't believe it, they won't increase the number of screenings for us. Xiao Fei said.

"The Spring Festival prime time is probably only about a month, if our film market response is relatively slow, when it becomes popular, it is estimated that it will be time to paint. Besides, the current film market is not too sluggish, and I really can't say whether "The First Close Contact" will be cold. Ren Gangyi sighed and said.

Ren Gangyi's worries are not for no reason.

The domestic film market in 1997 seemed to be prosperous, but in fact, the annual box office was only 1.4 billion yuan.

The most eye-catching box office champion this year was Jurassic Park 2, with a box office score of 72.1 million yuan, while the domestic film "Ya Film War" ranked second with a score of 100,000 yuan less than Jurassic.

After 2010, the box office results are often more than one billion movie box office, and the current domestic filmmakers are living very hard.

There are only a handful of directors with box office appeal in China, and it is already very remarkable that a film can have a box office of 30 million.

"Brother Ren, don't worry, there are not so many accidents, the movie "First Close Contact" will be a big hit, and it has to have a box office of 350 million." Xiao Fei patted Ren Gangyi's shoulder and said.

"If I can have a box office of 20 million, I am very satisfied. The box office of 20 million is enough to make a small profit after the return of the cost, plus our product placement, placement advertising, acknowledgment advertising or something, as well as the later VCD disc release, etc., it is definitely impossible for our movies to lose money. Ren Gangyi said with a smile.

Because of the popularity of the book "First Close Contact" and the success of the pre-promotion of the movie, many merchants took the initiative to ask for sponsorship this time, just to make their products show their faces in the movie or something.

A total of more than 8.9 million yuan has been sold in various advertisements, which is already a return to the cost.

No matter how the VCD disc is sold, it can sell five or six hundred thousand copies. That's nearly 10 million again.

It's certain that this movie will make money.

It's just that compared with the "Bright Sword" TV series, the profitability is estimated to be much worse.

"So, Brother Ren, you don't have to worry about it. We should have the courage to slay the dragon and bring the blockbuster off the altar in order to achieve the status of the classic movie "First Close Contact", what do you say? Xiao Fei said.

"Then set the schedule for the 98 Spring Festival, no matter what, you have to try the success of our movie! If it is popular, our company's reputation will also be out. Ren Gangyi nodded and said.

So far. The two have agreed on the release schedule.

The next thing is to pass the review as soon as possible, and then schedule the schedule.

Of course, this matter will be handled by Ren Gangyi.

Coming out of the superstar space-time Beijing branch, Xiao Fei met Han Bingyu by the elevator. He nodded cordially to her and said a few words.

Han Bingyu is here to get paid.

Because she is a newcomer, the original superstar time and space set her a very low salary, only 20,000 yuan.

But after Xiao Fei watched her performance on the set, he said to Ren Gangyi that he would sign Han Bingyu into the superstar time and space and focus on seedling cultivation. This time, the salary for starring in "The First Close Contact" was directly increased to 100,000 yuan.

Of course, Ren Gangyi obeyed everything.

Ren Gangyi had a little bit of that meaning to Han Bingyu, even if Xiao Fei didn't come to propose, it was estimated that he would do the same.

This made Han Bingyu very pleasantly surprised.

100,000 yuan is a lot of money for a student in the acting department.

Han Bingyu happily signed a ten-year long-term contract with the superstar space. Under the influence of Xiao Fei, this contract is not harsh, and it is a good agreement for Han Bingyu.

For this, Han Bingyu is very grateful to Xiao Fei.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. You take care of me so much, you see, please have a meal at noon, okay? Han Bingyu looked at Xiao Fei expectantly and said.

Today's Han Bingyu is wearing a light pink casual sports model. She wore a pair of white tennis shoes on her feet and a ponytail tied behind her head, looking full of energy.

"Don't be so polite, Han Bingyu, it's probably not going to be at noon today, I still have important things to do. Go back, I'll ask you to come back. Xiao Fei excused himself.

"Oh, look back, what time is it?" Han Bingyu blinked and said coquettishly.

This girl, can't you hear that this is just an excuse to excuse yourself?

It's a bit silly and sweet.

Han Bingyu, who is good at acting and has amazing acting talent, is really simple and cute in daily life. Xiao Fei didn't know if this was another mask of hers.

"I'm not sure about this, I've been too busy lately, hehe." Xiao Fei was a little embarrassed.

The two of them took the elevator downstairs together, got out of the elevator, and walked out of the hotel, Xiao Fei said to Han Bingyu: "Han Bingyu, see you back!" ”

"Teacher Xiao, see you later!" Han Bingyu also beckoned.

Waiting for Xiao Fei to walk away, Han Bingyu frowned and muttered softly, "Why do you want to run so fast?" Am I that scary? I just wanted to talk to you about literature, that's all. ”

This girl is also a literary young woman, and she likes to write something on weekdays, and she admires Xiao Fei a lot.

Xiao Fei's escape was subconscious.

He doesn't want to make trouble for himself, and when he meets a girl with a strange look in his eyes, he always habitually avoids it. Three thousand weak water, I only take one scoop to drink, in this life, it is enough to love a woman.

Back at school, that night, Xiao Fei was dragged out by Dongfang Tian, Li Peizhen and others for a night.

Dongfang Tian, Li Peizhen and Yin Jing all benefited a lot during the filming of the movie "The First Close Contact".

It can be said that it was an unforgettable life experience.

The most important thing is that several people have been paid, 50,000 yuan each, a lot of money, why should you be chic?

Xiao Fei understood their feelings, so he enjoyed their food with peace of mind. (To be continued.) )
