Chapter 106: Have a Small Meeting
Holding a small meeting is actually to call several large-scale, leading company leaders together to negotiate, few people are easy to talk, often the leader sets a tone and the matter is solved. But this time it was different, the production company, the distribution company, and the theater company got together, and they quarreled for a long time without any result.
But for Li Mu's new model of making movies not to make money, in principle, the above is happy to see it, and it can't be blocked?
After arguing all morning, the meeting continued in the afternoon, but Li Mu took the lead in standing up and said, "Leaders, CEOs, I want to show you something before I start." ”
Li Mu took out a notebook, connected to the projection in the conference room, and then turned on the computer to enter the system.
"Hi, good afternoon, Mr. Li."
Xiao G said hello, but the image was Fang Yuan's appearance.
"Good afternoon," Li Mu responded to Xiao G, and then said to everyone, "I don't know if everyone knows her, Fang Yuan, the heroine of my last movie, can barely be regarded as a second-tier actor." The company she signed with is Mr. Cao's company, but it is said that because of the cooperation with our company, it has now been hidden by the company. ”
Mr. Cao, who was present, snorted coldly, but he could talk.
"However, what I want to say is that Fang Yuan's little G image has been online in the G system image mall for just three days, and there have been 1.5 million purchase records, and Fang Yuan's image is priced at 10 yuan, valid for one year, according to our company's regulations, the income of our company and the image party is according to five or five points, and in three days, Fang Yuan has earned 7.5 million." Li Mu said, "Of course, 7.5 million yuan is not a lot of money for the bosses here, but there is more than one artist under your command, and some of them are much more famous than Fang Yuan, and the image price of those popular stars must not be only ten yuan a year." In addition, I would like to say that the installed users of our G system have reached 30 million, and the growth rate continues to ......"
For a while, everyone present changed color, what did Li Mu's words mean? A small new actor can get so much income, so if their first-line artists participate, how much will they get?
Not to mention that who doesn't know that the G system is setting off a global boom with its technological strength beyond the times? Once the win system is replaced, how big will it be? Even to say something that is not an exaggeration, maybe in two years, everyone here will no longer be qualified to sit at the same table with Li Mu!
Is it really wise to offend Li Mu?
"In addition," Li Mu took everyone's attention with one sentence, and said, "All of you here are experts in the film and television industry, you might as well take a look at the characters produced by our company." Little G, give me a dance. ”
"Okay, Mr. Li." As Little G spoke, the background of the screen changed to an antique palace, dancing to soothing classical music. The movements, the smile, and even the subtle expressions on the face, and even the eyes, are exactly the same as real people, not at all like an animated character.
"Change to hip-hop." Li Mu said again.
The music immediately changed, and at the same time, the background also changed, in front of a brick wall of street graffiti, Fang Yuan also changed into a hip-hop costume and began to dance street dance to the beat, every movement was full of vitality, and people couldn't help but dance with her.
"This is not CG animation in the traditional sense, this is the latest real-time animation simulation system of our 2048 company, through the movement and expression of the target person, and finally synthesized into an animated image for everyone to see, so that it is not much different from the real person. My new film is also made using this system. Li Mu said, "Of course, for the sake of realism, the movie is best performed by live-action, but in some special effects shots, this set of technology can be used to complete, and the production cost is much cheaper than collusive CG special effects." I think all the production company CEOs here are very interested in this system, right? ”
Not only interested? The guys' eyes were all green.
"This system will be sold by our company on a limited basis, well, for the time being, we are ready to provide five sets." Li Mu said, "In addition, if you don't have friends who have bought the system, you can also find a special effects subsidiary under our company's command to cooperate, and the cost of making special effects will be much cheaper than the current market price." ”
"Mr. Li, how much does this system cost?" Mr. Cao said.
"Let's talk about this later, but the price is not high, in terms of Mr. Cao's strength, it's just a drizzle." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Okay, leave me a place......" Mr. Cao said happily.
"I want one too."
"Don't rob, don't rob, Li Mu, I'm your senior brother, we are all from the directing department of the film academy, don't forget to give me a set......"
Several leaders of the General Administration looked at each other and smiled bitterly, what is this? Is this a mediation meeting for them, or a product launch conference for Li Mu?
"Hehe, guys, are we off topic?" Li Mu saw that the heat was almost over, and said with a smile, "Actually, what are we making trouble?" In my opinion, my emergence is not a disruption, but a promotion to this market. The reason why I was able to avoid a share of the box office is that my shooting mode itself is low-cost, there are no big-name stars, and almost all of them are filmed in the studio as post-production special effects, which is much lower than everyone else, and it is enough to make money just with advertising fees. But I also understand your thoughts, and I'm afraid that the theater chain will schedule more films for me because I don't divide them. In fact, you don't have to worry about it, let me make a small opinion, first, because I don't share the box office, the theater chain should reduce the ticket price a little, which can be regarded as giving the audience a little feedback, and it can also be said that there are advertisements in my movie, giving the audience a little compensation. Second, in order to ensure the order of the set, the theater should set a schedule commitment, such as the maximum number of films scheduled for my film, so as to leave enough space for other films. How do you feel? ”
"Well, I feel acceptable that way." Mr. Cao said, "But how much this ticket price will be reduced and how much the number of films will be limited needs to be discussed......
Ticket prices are reduced, which is not a good thing for other companies, for example, a movie your ticket price is twenty, my forty, who will the audience watch? If you're thirty-eight, mine forty, it's about the same. But since then, if the theater line is too profitable, it will definitely follow Li Mu's film schedule without saying a word.
Now how much the film schedule depends entirely on the theater line, some popular blockbusters, the number of films can reach fifty or sixty percent at every turn, what if all of them are Li Mu's films? Limiting the scheduling rate of Li Mu's films is the most critical ......
For a while, the two sides began to quarrel again, shouting that the ticket price could not be low or high, and the film schedule could not be more or less, but this is no longer a problem that Li Mu needs to care about, as long as he can let his film be released, it doesn't matter what number you make in the end......
