Chapter 238: Trading at a Loss
Now that it has been put on the table, Gu Qiao is no longer polite, although the gold coins in the vault have been squeezed dry, the earth currency is still very abundant. No matter how much publicity money is spent, "Shadowless Man" must be suppressed.
Tong Yu was in charge of publicity, and Gu Qiao took those animators to start making a master-level fantasy work - "Starfire".
This anti-war work is what the Amiya continent needs the most, but its content is not always repressing, but an accusation of war from a child's perspective, which is both childlike and ideologically elevated. Coupled with the master's writing, the characters are plump and flexible, a rare masterpiece.
Time was pressing, and Gu Qiao didn't bother to find any regular company, so he directly asked Tong Yu to build a leather bag company, and then hung the name of "Starfire" and began to blow the horn of counterattacking "Shadowless Man".
All kinds of overwhelming marketing methods, coupled with the tricksters personally going out to promote comic exhibitions around the world, immediately suppressed the earth-shattering momentum of "Shadowless Man" winning major literary awards. You can't step on it, but at least you can stand up to it. At least for fans of the Chivalry League, although "Moon in the Day" seems to be a great writer's work, it can't stop their trust in the Chivalry League.
For a time, public opinion was divided into two levels.
Most of the people who support "Moon in the Day" have drunk a little foreign ink, and under the various praises and toutions of foreigners, the evaluation of this work has also soared, not to mention any golden chrysanthemum, even if it is taken internationally, it can win greater honors.
And those who support "Starfire" are mostly fans of the Chivalry League. No matter how high the level of the original work of "Moon in the Day" is, its quality cannot be guaranteed, and the picture effect is also needed, and the Chivalrous League is guaranteed at this point. And "Moon in the Day", a small company with a small name, may have invested all its money in promotional films, and the final product is only at the flash level.
The supporters on both sides are almost the same at the moment, and there are many more that both sides think are good, and as for which one will be better, you have to wait until you actually watch it in the theater before making an evaluation.
In the continent of Amiya, the five major temples are also using the animated film "Starfire" to build momentum, hoping to rekindle the Amiya people's yearning for peace. Although there are absolutely very few people who can go to the cinema to watch a cartoon because of the spread of war, the five temples still spare no effort to promote it.
And on the island, two generations of brave men are negotiating with Gu Qiao.
"What? Only give me 500 gold coins and want to win the broadcast rights of "Starfire"? Did your five temples have their brains struck by lightning? I spent 1,000 gold coins on a script alone, plus hiring such a few top animators, the cost has reached 1,200 gold coins! 500, you're too embarrassed to speak! ”
Of course, Gu Qiao was angry, the offer of the five great temples was simply unconscionable. Originally, I was expecting to be able to use the broadcast rights to return a little money, and the treasury would not seem so empty, but the offer of the five major temples, let alone making a little money, could not even protect the capital, and it would lose more than half of the blood.
Even if the right to use the image of the product and the right to develop the surrounding area are still in hand, it is difficult to guarantee how much it can be recycled.
The brave Lolos likes to watch Gu Qiao jump like thunder the most, sitting on a chair with a leisurely look of an old god and saying: "Hehe, if it is in a peaceful era, the broadcast rights of "Starfire" will be at least more than 1,000 gold coins, and it will also pay box office dividends. But what is the situation now, who do you think will buy an anti-war movie in the large and small principalities of the Amiya continent? ”
Not to mention, there really isn't. Even the central Amiya royal court, shouting slogans to stop the war every day, will not spend a lot of money to buy an anti-war movie. All of their current funds are spent on rearmament and dealing with the various feudal states that are eyeing each other.
Even if Gu Qiao gets a film company by himself and gets a screening permit from the Order Committee, the box office is estimated to not be very good. The rich are busy seeing which one will win the battle for hegemony, and they can make a pre-investment investment, while the poor are busy with three meals a day, and they are even less likely to go to the movies. The middle class has lost a lot in the chaotic war, so the problem of the box office can basically be judged to be hitting the street.
In the past two years, almost all the collapse of the Amiya cinema chain is proof of this, in addition to some state-owned film companies are still working hard, other transformations, job hopping, and cultural careers have plummeted. On the contrary, some works that praise the virtues of the major forces can still have a glimmer of life.
And the film "Spark" has not been liked by major forces since the day it was born. How can we expand our territory without fighting? How can you enter the royal court without fighting? What's more, the Dark Continent is now the most vulnerable, as long as the army flows over in waves after entering the royal court, it will definitely be able to recompile the lost Dark Continent into the map of the Amiya Continent.
This is a work that will go down in history, but how can anyone who is a little ambitious give up? So, let alone let the lords buy "Starfire", they are already very face-saving if they don't have a superficial resistance.
The brave Lolos took the time to do these analyses, which made Gu Qiao more and more bottomless the more he listened. This kid is not a liar, and the situation in the Amiya continent can also be seen from the Internet, even more chaotic than what Lolos said.
One brave man is a bad guy, the other brave man is a good guy, and the new brave Liu Yuan said helplessly: "Mr. Gu, the five great temples bought the screening rights, and they are going to organize a screening team to go to the countryside and show it to the people for free, so we really can't afford such a high price." Although you are not from Amiya, you have lived there for a while, can you watch the war continue in Amiya? ”
Nima, almost increasing the righteous hijab, Liu Yuan can be regarded as experienced.
The two sang together like this, Gu Qiao already felt that he could only nod his head in agreement, but when he thought about the 700 gold coins he lost, his heart was really bleeding. The accommodation fee for the children of the gentlemen is all taken in. The worst thing is that this is only the first level of the Demon King, and if the next level has to be broken, it will really cost you.
"It's a little higher, 500 gold coins is too low, at least let me keep the cost." If it weren't for the emphasis of the Five Temples, I wouldn't have chosen an anti-war movie, which is also a favor for you. ”
Gu Qiao gave up the idea of making money, and just wanted to keep the cost.
It's a pity that the two generations of brave men shook their heads together. The five major temples watched the daily progress of the gold, but the cost was also amazing, it was not easy to come up with 500 gold coins, and it was impossible to make 1200 gold coins.
This deal is likely to be at a loss.
