Chapter 45: Experience the Death Trap!

Thank you for the big reward from the blue wind boy, in fact, I don't need to say it, everyone knows that if you want to abuse the protagonist in the future, it depends on whether you have the strength and qualifications.

Tom thought to himself, exchanged opinions with Jon, and then agreed to this way of sharing: "Yes, I can represent the company and accept the total box office share, so, what percentage do you want to share?" For general blockbusters, we can accept the sharing method of Sanqi, and our film company is 30%, and as an investor, we can get 70%. But you are a newcomer, although the movie is good, but you always have to accept the real test of the market, our company can't take too many risks for you, so let's do it, we will divide it into six, you get forty percent of the total box office, and our company will get sixty percent of the total box office. ”

Tom thought that his words were very reassuring, and he also saw that Tobin's face had made the greatest concessions within his authority, but he didn't expect Zhou Shaoming's boldness to surprise everyone.

"Forgive me for being honest, I don't think four or six is not enough to impress me." In everyone's surprised eyes, Zhou Shaoming sat up straight and said seriously.

Tobin looked at Zhou Shaoming, lowered his voice and said, "Smith Zhou, I know that you are confident in Chainsaw, but I think this way of sharing is very objective and we can accept it." ”

Zhou Shaoming shook his head apologetically to Tobin, and said loudly to everyone: "If I give a better idea in terms of publicity, can your company agree to the total box office sharing method of our sixty percent and your company's forty percent?" ”

"Oh?" Seeing that the topic had shifted to the issue he was most concerned about, Jon, the manager of the distribution department, hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Hey, young man, if you really have any good ideas, I will explain the situation to the boss and try to help you get this sharing method!" ”

"As we all know, movies must be watched in the cinema to get the greatest visual and auditory enjoyment." Zhou Shaoming stood up and waved his hand to add more force to his tone: "And the advertising in the cinema chain has always become a battleground for soldiers. I think that no matter how you learn about the film outside the cinema, or what kind of advertisement you see and become interested in the movie itself, and then go to the cinema to buy tickets, the audience will stay in the cinema box office for 10 to 20 minutes, and during these 10 to 20 minutes, their eyes are greatly influenced and stimulated by the advertisements in the cinema. Audiences are very susceptible to posters, promotional videos, etc., and change their original intentions to buy tickets for another movie, which is also the biggest feature of impulsive consumption. I'll give you an example, Tobin Bell is an ordinary viewer who wants to go to a movie tonight, and at first he wanted to see the film "Hackers from Another Dimension". But when he walked into the movie theater, he was greeted by the huge posters of "Chainsaw", the three-dimensional modeling of various horror killing machines, and the beautiful filmmakers handing out flyers, allowing Tobin to try to experience the killing machine, such as experiencing the horror of the cross knife rail car roaring and going straight to the head in our movie, through these highly attractive stimuli, Tobin was full of interest in "Chainsaw", and naturally changed his mind and bought tickets for this film instead. The original idea of watching the movie was successfully diverted by our promotional methods. This is the classic and never lag behind terminal interception marketing method! ”

"Terminal interception? Put a death trap in the cinema for the audience to experience directly? That sounds like a good idea, but we're going to have a lot more money to spend on publicity! Jon sipped his coffee, pondered, and then worried that the publicity would cost more than he could accept.

"We don't need a lot of investment in home appliances and theaters, we have to concentrate resources, first invest in the 100 houses with the most advantageous geographical location and the most suitable environment, try out the movie, and other theaters will not move, causing the starvation effect of the market. Zhou Shaoming's hand waved down heavily, as if the general commanding thousands of troops and horses had given an order for a general attack, so irresistible.

"The Hunger Effect?" Jon quickly understood the word, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That's it, the proportion of the share is according to your ideas, our authority is limited, we can't reply to you immediately, we have to give feedback to the boss, to the boss, of course, your ideas have touched me, I will try my best to fight for you. Now I can say that, in principle, we passed the film review! ”

Zhou Shaoming was running frantically on the street, he didn't know what way to express the excitement in his heart, he could only run and run as hard as he could.

Run, run, run non-stop!

Zhou Shaoming's mood is like a child after school, excited, his excitement can no longer be expressed in words, it seems that only by running with all his strength can he vent the most boiling emotions in his heart.

Rushing into the temporarily rented apartment, pushing open the door, Christina was cleaning the room, she raised her head, wiped the sweat on her forehead that was oozing slightly, and then opened a bright and moving smile, and asked with concern: "Zhou, how is it?" They ......"

Before he could ask urgently, Zhou Shaoming rushed over, hugged her excitedly, kissed her delicate mouth violently, and blocked her questions back into her mouth.

Christina closed her eyes, intoxicated by Zhou Shaoming's deep kiss, she responded warmly and affectionately, gently hugging his neck, and reciprocating all her happiness in this gentle kiss.

------------

It's June 23, and Lionsgate finally agreed to put "Saw Horror" on the screen, and after several difficult negotiations, Zhou Shaoming was very satisfied with the concessions.

Fifty-fifty shares, Zhou Shaoming's side can get fifty percent of the profits, while Lionsgate Movies can only get another fifty percent, and they also have to invest no less than 5 million US dollars for movie promotion, of which one million US dollars are used to make various physical killing machines in the movie props placed in the cinema, and more parts are all kinds of large posters, dioramoramas, and promotional film advertisements on the Internet, radio, and television.

The first batch of 100 movie theaters will be released on a small scale on October 21, 1999, in the largest box office cities in the United States, and if the market responds well, it will be released on a large scale during the Halloween period.

A week later, at Los Angeles International Airport, Zhou Shaoming and Christina came here together.

Christina was introduced by Lionsgate Jon and passed the audition to play the second female lead in a live-action romance movie in Hawaii, and now she is about to catch a plane to Hawaii to participate in the performance.

Although Zhou Shaoming didn't have any impression of this movie in his mind, it can be seen that it is not a film with a high box office or reputation, but Zhou Shaoming still encouraged Christina to participate, and now she needs more film acting experience, better learning and exercise.

Although Christina was very happy, she was always reluctant to part with Zhou Shaoming, but Zhou Shaoming persuaded her for a long time before Christina agreed to film first.
