187: Trailer
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
As an independent film production company, there are many ways to release it on a large scale. But it's almost impossible to rely on your own strength, and it's inevitable to cooperate with other companies.
In this regard, Sean is expanding the network of the Phantom's predecessor, negotiating with some large companies with good reputation and wide channels, and at the same time building a premiere at the St. Denis International Film Festival in January. The quality of the movie is good, and the heat wave of Li Donglai's little werewolf has not subsided, so it will definitely be an instant hit.
Li Donglai has no opinion on this. Everything has to be done step by step, and the St. Denis Film Festival is a good place to promote it. It was from here that the great director Christopher Nolan came to prominence. At that time, he became an instant hit with the self-directed movie "Fragments of Memory", and then he had the capital frequently 187: trailers for other films.
Moreover, many professionals in Hollywood have a good impression of the St. Denis Film Festival, and during the festival, there are many big names who frequently come to the road. This is a help for the release of the movie.
Of course, these need to be discussed with the issuing company to be determined.
In the last two days, Li Donglai personally edited a three-minute trailer for Sean to contact the distribution company. He did a good job, and in a short period of time, he contacted the managers and heads of many large film companies to watch the film, Lionsgate, Vertex Entertainment, and ...... Even giant companies such as Disney, DreamWorks, and Columbia have arranged for their heads to watch the film. Sean has been in charge of these things, and he's done a good job.
Compared with the big movie giants, "Phantom" is indeed too small, and when watching the film, Sean rented a small movie theater. Since it is a small theater, don't think about how good the environment is, Li Donglai was a little embarrassed to see the bustling person in charge of watching the film walk into the cinema. Sean was accustomed to it, "Lee, we're just getting started after all. Although it is also possible to rent a luxurious movie theater to show films, it is a luxury to pursue too much magnificence at the beginning of the business. Rest assured, there are so many trailers in Hollywood that there are so many trailers that not everyone can afford to rent a luxury movie theater. They have long been accustomed to this treatment. ”
Li Donglai took a look and found that everyone was really focused on watching the movie, and sometimes thought about it. Didn't get too entangled in watching the movie environment. That's when I was relieved.
Watching the film will be a success, as can be seen from the invitation to negotiate that Sean received later. And there are not a few companies that have clearly expressed interest in the "Source Code" movie when they walk out of the cinema, including giant companies such as Columbia and Warner. Colombia is actually no stranger to Li Donglai, after all, the movie "The King of Kung Fu" they produced also had Li Donglai's participation. Sincerely invite Li Dong to have a good talk, and the conditions can be discussed.
But Li Donglai is destined not to talk to them, he has a specialization in the art industry, and he can leave this kind of negotiation to the experienced Sean.
However, things will not be as rosy as expected. Once anything involves a conflict of interests, every inch of land will be contested, and any friendship will be put aside first. It turns out that the giant companies are vampires, and the benefits they give to independent film companies must not be much. Giants such as Columbia and Warner directly proposed to buy out as soon as they opened their mouths.
Although the high price of 15 million is five times the cost of Li Donglai's movie. But it obviously did not match Li Donglai's expectations.
For several days on end, the negotiations proceeded slowly.
Li Donglai was also devastated, and he talked to Sean seven or eight times a day, constantly discussing this and that kind of problem.
In the end, in order not to delay too much time, Apex Entertainment was finalized.
Among the many companies, only the conditions offered by Vertex Entertainment are the most in line with Li Donglai's expectations. The two sides negotiated the distribution of benefits, and both Apex and Phantom had the obligation to be responsible for the publicity of the film before and after its release. Vertex Entertainment was responsible for the release and promotion of Source Code in the United States. In terms of box office distribution, excluding the cinema's share and apex's commission, Phantom can finally get 39%. This figure is the best contract offered by many film companies.
They have a cinema and a private phone from the owner of the cinema......
That's enough, and having these dooms them to take the lion's share.
Of course, Vertex also wanted to sign a release agreement for "Source Code" outside the United States, mainly in Asia, but was rejected by Li Donglai without hesitation. If the movie is really good, then when it is released in other countries, it is natural to cooperate with the big entertainment companies of the local country. When the time comes, it won't be as embarrassing as it is in Hollywood.
The premiere of the film and the release date were all finalized one by one.
The premiere of the St. Denis Film Festival was recognized, and at the same time, the main publicity work of "Source Code" has been taken over by the professional publicity team of Apex.
After finalizing the itinerary, everyone went their separate ways, after all, Sean has been in this circle for many years, although he made documentaries before, but the experience will not be left behind. With him taking the lead, Li Donglai can also avoid many detours. So the cooperation with Vertex and the film festival screening work are all in charge of him.
Lee Dong-rae contacted Kim Tae-hee and hoped that she could attend the movie premiere together.
When Kim Tae-hee received a call from Lee Dong-rae, she thought it was just a continuation of the chat, but she didn't expect to receive an invitation to the American Film Festival, which made her overjoyed. Although she is the first beauty in South Korea, her road to the United States has never begun. This unexpected decision actually made her appear at the American Film Festival. After discussing with the agent, the agent was also surprised, quickly adjusted the work schedule, and decided to attend the premiere.
After Li Donglai got an accurate reply, he began to cut out several wonderful trailers and began pre-publicity.
Nowadays, more and more people have Twitter, and Li Donglai's followers are naturally only rising but not falling, and by now, the huge number of 6.3 million has already exceeded 6.3 million, which makes Robert and Christine, who are also famous for "Twilight", out of reach.
And online publicity can save a lot of money, which is not uncommon these days. Recently, Li Donglai's Twitter has also begun to post some inexplicable words from time to time. It has caused speculation from many fans.
For example, today, Li Donglai slowly typed down this paragraph on Twitter and Facebook and other online blogs, "Each parallel universe is like a quiet pool of water; Colte between the universes
Stevens, like stones thrown into the water of a pool, break the tranquility that should be; colte
Each space that Steven touches on will not evolve in tandem with the baseline space; Is there always a parallel space waiting for you to change? Are there infinite parallel spaces that give you unlimited chances? ——t
