"The box office forecasts for "Huashan on the Sword" and "East Becomes West" are not optimistic, I thought, should we shorten the screening time and focus on the DVD market?" In Stephen Zhao's office, Zhan Xianjun made his own suggestions for the company's inability to distribute films.

The movie "East Becomes West" was copied by Stephen Zhao from the ancestor of grapes, and "Huashan on the Sword" was written by Zhan Xianjun and reviewed and revised by Stephen Zhao after the review and revision of the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

It is not easy to adapt the movie of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhan Xianjun changed it back and forth, and finally put the goal on the most important plot in the novel "Huashan on the Sword". The main line is to start from the first master in the world in the novel "Wang Chongyang", telling the martial arts secret book "Nine Yin True Scripture" to reappear in the rivers and lakes, and then "Wang Chongyang" in order to prevent the martial arts catastrophe, so he grabbed the "Nine Yin True Scripture" in his hand, and then met the world's heroes to compete in Huashan. The ending of the movie is a happy ending, Wang Chongyang prevented the Wulin catastrophe and became recognized as the first in the world.

The plot is very simple, and it is very bloody, and Stephen Zhao reluctantly agreed to pass the script.

The two films were produced a few years ago, and the big scissors of radio and television were also passed, which were originally intended to be used to get a piece of the Spring Festival stalls, but the two films were not favored, and the company's distribution was weak, which caused the release time to be postponed again and again. It's March 2015 now, the Chinese New Year has passed, and the movie hasn't been released yet.

"Huashan on the Sword" was scheduled to be released on March 15, and "East Becomes West", which was later added, was scheduled to be released on March 10 5 days earlier.

According to Zhan Xianjun, cinema operators agree with "East Becomes West" when watching the film. thinks that "East Becomes West" is better than "Huashan on the Sword".

Stephen Zhao has no doubts about this. In the era of entertainment, movies are not entertaining and no one watches them at all.

Faced with Zhan Xianjun's suggestion. Stephen Zhao thought about it for a while, and then replied: "The movie is cold, this is actually predictable, after all, the general environment is like this, and now 3D movies are being made." However, we still have to have the momentum that should be, even if the box office hits the street, we can't weaken the momentum, let's follow the original plan. ”

After the production of a movie. It doesn't have to be released in theaters, it depends on the market positioning of the movie.

Many people see that the box office of a movie hits the street, and then they think that the producer has lost money, and finally decide that it is an unpopular bad movie. In fact, this is not the case, now, the box office of a movie usually only accounts for one-third of the total revenue of a movie, and the rest is the DVD market, the Internet market, and copyright operation that no longer appear directly in front of the audience.

Not to mention copyright operation, remakes, adaptations, sequels, novels, anime, and the like.

The online marketThis is a market that has emerged in recent years, and users spend a small amount of money on the Internet to subscribe to watch. Gather sand into a tower, small profits but quick turnover, relying on a large number of users to achieve profits.

The DVD market is the main sales market for a movie, and many movies lose money at the box office. But in the DVD market, it made a lot of money, and not only did it return to its original cost, but it also made considerable profits.

Zhan Xianjun's proposal. is based on the box office of "Huashan on the Sword" and "East Becomes West", and then I thought about shortening the screening time. Specializing in the DVD market, this is no problem.

Starting a company is not doing charity. The first thing to consider when making a movie is, of course, to make a profit.

Stephen Zhao also knows it.

Moreover, the 2D version of martial arts movies, in the current era of 3D blockbusters, is really easy to hit the street at the box office and the DVD market is relatively hot, which can be clearly seen from the situation of the film market in recent years.

It's just that these two films are the first time the company has tested the film market, and it wants to retreat before the box office hits the streets, which is not what it looks like to open a company at all. In addition, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a huge audience, and the box office can be expected.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." The boss spoke, and Zhan Xianjun could only nod.

……

Just when Stephen Zhao was busy with the release of the company's movie, the outside world had already set off a lot of waves about his press conference today.

The next day, a number of media outlets covered the press conference.

Some of them are positive reports, for example, "Magic City Week" reported: "Music genius - Stephen Zhao!" As we all know, Mr. Stephen Chiu is a well-known writer of historical novels and martial arts novels, both of which have been extremely successful. In particular, the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been adapted into a TV series, and it has been very popular with the audience, and the ratings have been growing all the way. In addition, we also know that Mr. Stephen Zhao is also a successful screenwriter and company owner, and the web series "Never Expected" created a miracle of more than 600 million hits in 16 days.

But now, we want to add a label to Mr. Stephen Chiu as a 'musical talent' in addition to these labels.

From the previous "Love You Not Two or Three Days", to the later "Easily Injured Woman" and "Legend", each of them is a classic, and the song "Legend" helped the "legendary goddess" Lin Yuna win the championship of "Super Girl" in 2014, and was regarded as "the sound of nature" and "one of the must-listen tracks in life" by the majority of netizens.

And now, Stephen Zhao, who had just signed Lin Yun'er, immediately held a press conference and confidently announced that he would create an all-original album for Lin Yunhe himself. Although we don't know what songs will be in the album, we believe that Stephen Zhao's production will be a high-quality product.

Let's look forward to ...... together"

The other part of the media coverage is naturally negative.

Among them, "Star Weekly" and "Southern Weekly" Zhang were the two newspapers that shouted the most fiercely and danced the most happily.

The first to fire was "Star Weekly", which hung a big headline on the front page "Stephen Zhao is rude and rude as a literati", and then wrote in the report: "...... I just asked him if not expressing my opinion meant that he was acquiescing, and he immediately changed his face and angrily asked the security guard to kick me out. The author can't help but ask this Mr. Zhao, where is your knowledge? Where's your cultivation? Or did my question hit you in the spot? Or is this Mr. Zhao simply a second-rate person with a small belly and chicken intestines, irritable and irritable? ”

Southern Weekly followed suit with an article titled "The Sorrow of Exam-Oriented Education," which insinuated that "...... Originally, we were a little hesitant about whether Stephen Zhao used his relationship to make Orange Red Entertainment designate her cousin Lin Yuner as the supergirl champion. But judging from yesterday's press conference, Stephen Zhao's style is arrogant and domineering, and it is entirely possible that he will make such a thing as a champion inside.

Stephen Zhao is a graduate of Xijiang University of Finance and Economics, and he is a famous writer himself, but his behavior is like an uneducated second-rate person in society.

Perhaps, it is a problem of physique?
