After eating the dinner, paying the salary, returning the equipment, and sending off the crew members, Shao Shuaijun returned home alone with a bunch of copies. These copies are also rough and need to be edited, dubbed, and subtitled. In Hengdian, there are special post-production companies that do these finishing work.

"Buried Alive" is not a blockbuster, not a horror film, not a science fiction film, and does not need too elaborate vocal effects. It only took two days and more than 5,000 pieces of ocean to go down, and the completed film was born. With this movie in hand, Shao Shuaijun began to look for a buyer.

In my memory, there are not many film distribution companies in the mainland, such as China Film, Shanghai Film Oriental, Huaxia, Bona, and Huayi Brothers, all of which have strong public relations methods, but relatively, there are too many reading movies queuing up to come to the door, and these distribution companies will have harsh requirements for films.

And the smaller distribution companies, including Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou's new pictures, as well as FJ Hengye, B City Xingmei, Forbidden City Sanlian, Light Pictures, Pony Galloping, and Earth Communication, are still in their infancy in China, and the distribution methods can't compete with large companies, and some have not even begun to get involved in distribution.

In his previous life, Shao Shuaijun mixed up with several movies, which were basically invested and distributed by Dengtian Entertainment, and he was familiar with the way, and he had a clear understanding of the internal doorways of Dengtian Entertainment. Although in the end, Dengtian Entertainment robbed him of his directorial qualifications, but this is the entertainment industry, the law of the jungle, there is nothing to complain about. Dengtian Entertainment is still the best choice, which can maximize the benefits of "Buried Alive".

It's a pity that Dengtian Entertainment will not be established until next year.

China Film and Shanghai Film Oriental, two state-owned giant film distribution companies, are daunting to hear. Huaxia is even more remarkable, 19 state-owned film units in China jointly participate in the shares, and the qualifications are not too good. The new picture is only responsible for Zhang Yimou's films, Xingmei focuses on cinemas, Sanlian Film and Television focuses on the distribution of TV series, and Light Pictures, Pony Galloping and Earth Communication have not yet entered the door.

The best choice is Bona and Huayi, however, Shao Shuaijun vaguely remembers that Huayi only started to get involved in film distribution in the second half of this year. Bona is a good place to go, and Shao Shuaijun believes that with the quality of "Buried Alive", it can impress the publisher, but it is difficult to get too many discounts on the price.

In addition to Bona, FJ Hengye is also the ideal choice for Shao Shuaijun, the current Hengye has not yet been established, just simply buying films for the distribution of second- and third-tier theaters, but its founder Chen Hui is a bold filmmaker. Because Hengye had a resounding nickname in later generations, called China's Lionsgate Films, which made a fortune with low-cost horror films, focused on the field of genre films, and did quite successfully.

Bona and Huayi are in City B, and Shao Shuaijun's first stop is to go north. As a filmmaker in his previous life, he was naturally familiar with the addresses of the two companies, but City B ten years ago and City B ten years later have changed a lot. After several twists and turns, he came to Bona Films.

In 2003, Poly Group acquired Bona Culture and established Poly Bona Film Distribution Company, which was involved in the field of film distribution.

The front desk lady of the company dialed the number of the distribution department in her puzzled eyes.

"Hey, is it Mr. Yu...... That's right, here's a Mr. Shao, bringing a movie and seeking to release it...... Okay, I'll invite him in. ”

Hanging up the phone, the front desk lady looked at Shao Shuaijun deeply: "You really made a movie?" I'm too young, don't you want me to be scolded by my boss? ”

"Hehe, don't worry."

Shao Shuaijun laughed dryly, he just turned eighteen this year, he is indeed young, and a thirty-year-old director in the film industry can be amazing.

The office address of Poly Bona Company is a single floor, which is very delicate and elegantly decorated, with the style of a large company, and it is worthy of being one of the giants of the future, domineering and leaking. In the general manager's office, Shao Shuaijun met Yu Dong, the president of Poly Bona, who was 28 points, slightly fat, and looked harmless to humans and animals.

"Mr. Yu, this is Mr. Shao Shuaijun."

Yu Dong subconsciously frowned and glanced at the front desk: "You go down first." Only then did he turn to Shao Shuaijun and said, "Please sit down, Shao Shuaijun, you are very young." How did you get the idea to make a movie? What movie? ”

Knowing his age, it is difficult to be trusted, Shao Shuaijun didn't talk nonsense, and took out a copy of the movie directly from his bag: "Mr. Yu, can I play the movie first?" ”

There was a movie projector in the office, and Yu Dong nodded undeniably. Although Bona has the escort of a central enterprise giant like Poly Group, it has expanded in the film field in a short period of time, but compared with the old film companies such as China Film and Shanghai Film, it is still too much worse and cannot get too many film distribution rights.

Since someone comes to the door, whether it's good or bad, true or not, an hour or two can still be wasted.

"Making a movie? Young people are so ambitious, they don't know how thick the sky is, and they will have to criticize them fiercely. Yu Dong thought in his heart.

The movie soon began, with a large black screen and only heavy panting and grinding sounds, indicating that the film was being screened.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Yu Dong's face sank.

Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "Mr. Yu, please read slowly." ”

Soon, the sound of a lighter came, and a picture flashed, revealing a human face, and then it went black again, back and forth several times, and finally the picture appeared completely. A man lies in a coffin, holding a lighter and looking around for a way out. Yu Dong's dissatisfied face gradually recovered, and he began to focus on watching movies.

Ninety minutes later, the movie ends.

Shao Shuaijun looked at Yu Dong and was a little nervous in his heart.

"It's a bit interesting, a one-man show, and the shooting angle is very novel." Yu Dong touched his chin, "You really shot it?" ”

"Yes, the screenwriter, director, starring, and producer are all me. Mr. Yu thinks that this "Buried Alive" can still get into your eyes, right? ”

After pondering for a while, Yu Dong spoke: "This movie is very creative, the shooting technique is unique, it challenges the limits of claustrophobic movies, the irony is very strong, and it is a good film." However, the excessively single movie scene makes the whole plot look dull, and it is difficult for such a film to achieve any good box office. ”

"I think it's still very commercially valuable, a single role and a single scene have a big gimmick in itself. The plot is dull but not mediocre, the connotation is very profound, although it does not meet the taste of the public, it is very attractive to audiences who like this genre. If you are tired of watching blockbusters, it is also a good choice to change the flavor occasionally. What do you think? ”

"There is some truth, but the domestic film market is still in its infancy, and its capacity is not large, coupled with niche tastes, it is still difficult to break through and achieve a good box office."

"It's impossible to have a high box office, so it shouldn't be a problem to go around five million, right? This kind of film, in addition to the box office, the release of DVDs is the big one, isn't it? ”

"Domestic piracy is rampant, and DVDs are not big."

"Not at home, but abroad? Poly Bona wants to be big, and he can't just stare at blockbusters and literary films, and all kinds of movies have to try. "Buried Alive" may not be a big hit in China, but when it goes abroad, at the Sundance Film Festival, the most favored is this kind of film, once it has a good reputation, the benefits brought are not a little, just a fame is earned. ”

"But if you fail, you can't get a good reputation, foreign countries are not domestic, why should foreigners buy it."

"Hehe, everything is risky, and if you only make money and don't lose money, it's not that I came to find Mr. Yu, but Mr. Yu should be looking for me."

Yu Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked softly: "How much do you want, divide or buy out?" ”
