Wei Ansheng is now facing a great dilemma, and he now finds that although his connections are still working, they are not playing a big role, and even his connections can only make "Those Years" have a little relationship with those people, and can have a chance to negotiate, and can also improve the conditions......

But everyone is reluctant to give "Those Years" better conditions, and the conditions that everyone is proposing at present are ...... Wei Ansheng didn't need to tell Li Chencan at all to know that he wouldn't agree.

Don't look at that kid always looks like a young man and an old man, and he doesn't seem to be shocked, but Wei Ansheng can feel that Li Chencan's heart is high! He also has great expectations for the works that come out of his hands, and it is impossible to be impressed by such a way of losing money.

Next, Wei Ansheng contacted several major film distribution companies in the country, but the highest price of these film distribution companies can only be bought out of 13 million, but if it is to cooperate with them for distribution, their requirements for box office sharing are very dark, and the most outrageous one even wants Li Chencan's personal studio to be responsible for the publicity costs of "Those Years", not to mention, they will directly take half of the next box office share!

This doesn't need to be considered at all, it's completely a rogue clause......

Why are they already in charge of publicity, they are only responsible for arranging schedules and contacting theaters, and they have to directly share half of the box office? Not to mention that Li Chencan disagreed, Wei Ansheng felt that it was too dark.

However, until now, in addition to the Xinyi film production and distribution company where he works, the national first-line. He has already found five of the six major film production and distribution companies, and the conditions of these big shops are very bullying, and they are impossible to really be accepted by Li Chencan.

The next can only be a second-tier film distribution and production company.

This side of the empire is different from the original time and space of Li Chencan. In Li Chencan's time and space, the distribution and release of films, basically as long as they can pass the review, they can have a large degree of freedom, and many movie theater chains themselves have their own film production and distribution companies, such as Bona, Wanda, etc......

But here, film distribution companies can't have their own theaters at the same time. This is also to make the scheduling of films in theaters more fair, relying on market competitiveness to allow theaters to freely choose the release of films, rather than some distribution companies desperately suppressing competitors within their own theaters. Make your own movie, no matter how bad it is, it's a big deal.

But at the same time, the filmmaker can't directly look for the movie to find a release, and the communication between the film distributor is required, which is not just a rule. It is also the need to adapt to the environment - the cinema chain simply does not have the ability to promote. If it doesn't go through the distributor's handling, the release of a movie is just a waste.

In this way, Li Chencan's "Those Years" can only be released through film distributors, and it is really not feasible to go directly to the theater, and the film distribution company has a fixed set of their film promotion, and their ability to promote and distribute the film is not comparable to Li Chencan's personal studio at all.

So Li Chencan needs a film distribution and production company.

There are six first-tier film distribution and production companies in China. This corresponds to the seven major Hollywood film production companies, all of which are behemoths in the world's film industry.

These distribution and production companies have a strong mobilization power. With strong distribution capabilities, at least 85% of the more than 300 films that China eventually releases in cinemas each year come from the six major film distribution companies.

The second-tier film distribution and production companies below can't be compared with the six first-tier companies in terms of ability and publicity intensity, and they rarely get too much film scheduling in theaters when they distribute movies......

A little hard, and they'll fall apart!

But now, the first-tier issuing companies can't negotiate at all, so they can only find the second-line......

Wei Ansheng did not report the good news or bad news, but told Li Chencan all the situations faced by "Those Years" in front of him.

After Li Chencan heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.

"Actually, the cost of our movies is indeed a bit too high." Wei Ansheng shook his head a little and sighed: "Because we are too refined in film production, now, we have a pitiful little room to toss and turn. ”

Li Chencan glanced at him, and Wei Ansheng continued: "However, we still have a lot of opportunities now, for example, if we can cooperate with the Phantom Company, we can still consider it." ”

Li Chencan was thinking about the problem, although Wei Ansheng did not give Li Chencan the share he wanted, but this was not his responsibility, but because these distribution companies were bullying customers...... In fact, it's not that the store is bullying customers, but they feel that since a film like "Those Years" is positioned as a small freshness, it is too refined and causes contradictions during filming, so they can only price Li Chencan and them according to the type of "Those Years" with a small cost and a small fresh movie.

And now, Wei Ansheng has analyzed the attitude of each of the five major film production and distribution companies, the conditions given to him, and the reasons behind it to Li Chencan, which also shows his ability, but as for the problems at the decision-making level of these companies, of course he can't control it.

Now it's up to Li Chencan's thoughts.

"And the Phantom...... Their conditions ......" Li Chencan frowned.

The Phantom Company can be said to be an entertainment empire, and now their market value is as high as more than 100 billion national dollars, and their business includes star brokerage, movies, TV series production and distribution, and their Phantom TV is also one of the three major TV drama production companies in China.

The conditions they put forward to Li Chencan were: to cover all the publicity costs of "Those Years" and distribute "Those Years", but 70% of the box office after the release of this film must go to them, and the rest can be given to Li Chencan and their share. Or Li Chencan is responsible for the promotion of the movie, but in this way they still have to take 40% of the box office share...... And in this case, according to their arrangement, "Those Years" will be released in August next year, delaying a year to capture the tail of the summer......

Li Chencan naturally couldn't accept this condition.

"No...... There's so much they want for this one. Li Chencan said: "Moreover, my movie will not be delayed until August next year." ”

Wei Ansheng frowned slightly and said: "It's actually reasonable for this film to be released after more than half a year, there's nothing wrong with this, right?" ”

Li Chencan felt that this speed was a bit slow, and he also had other reasons: "My propaganda started before, but if I wait until August next year, all the propaganda will be in vain!" ”

Wei Ansheng sighed, and then analyzed: "However, there is no suitable schedule for the future, October and November, not to mention that the post-production and review of the film are too rushed, and the publicity is too late, that is, this month, it is completely a dead schedule." From December to February next year, it will be a round of bombardment of Chinese New Year movies and Spring Festival blockbusters, and we can't squeeze in, even if we squeeze in, we're just cannon fodder, so we have to wait until after March......"

What Wei Ansheng said is quite reasonable, and it is also after careful analysis, as well as his experience in this circle for so many years.

The schedule of a movie is completely crucial to the box office of the movie, if you pick a bad schedule, it will really have too much impact on the box office of the movie. But there are usually blockbuster movies in good schedules, and many small movies can only find a bad schedule without much competition.

But if the schedule is too deserted, it is also tragic for a movie, as for what to say about using a film to make a bad schedule a good schedule, although it will not reach the level of a fool's dream, it is also too difficult......

"This is also ......" Li Chencan still thought in his heart, even if it was really after March, he couldn't directly drag it out until August...... That's just too much.

Thinking of this, he said: "In this case, let's contact the second-tier film distribution company...... All roads lead to Rome! ”

"Huh?" Wei Ansheng was a little surprised, and then said: "Second-tier film distribution companies, their conditions are more generous, but they don't have much publicity ability at all, and their film publicity ability is also very weak!" ”

Li Chencan shook his head slightly at this time, and then said to Wei Ansheng: "I think, as long as you use it properly...... Let's take a gamble! ”

Although Wei Ansheng does not have a feeling of youth and enthusiasm like Li Chencan, he also feels that Li Chencan has made a decision, in this case, he said that no matter how much it is, it is useless, after all, Li Chencan is the boss, and the movie is all his, from the investment to the later production completion, it is all his, so no matter how much outsiders say, it is just a reference, and his own ideas are the essence.

"Oh well! I'll get in touch as soon as possible. Wei Ansheng said.

"Well, let's go check it out this time." Li Chencan once again decided to abandon the rest time, because there were many things that made him have no time to rest: "Let's have a good talk with those people together, so that my feelings are more intuitive." ”

"Okay." Wei Ansheng nodded directly in agreement, and didn't say anything, in the second-tier distribution companies, some of the relationships between the people he knew were better than those in the first-line distribution companies, which can be regarded as an advantage......
