Chapter 17: Guns
The upstairs villa hall was empty, with only an alien instrument in place. Xu Hao turned on his watch, clicked on the light curtain a few times, and the alien instrument was activated. Antonio instantly felt like he was on an alien planet.
Surrounded by countless high-rise buildings with metal facades, all kinds of flying machines flew in the sky, and countless alien men and women with pointed ears walked by.
It all seemed completely real, and Antonio took a few steps and reached for a metal billboard erected next to him. His palm ran through the billboard, and he didn't touch anything, but the billboard looked indistinguishable from the real thing.
Antonio was surprised: "This ...... Is this an alien movie? ”
Xu Hao smiled: "I was also shocked when I first watched it, this is the use of quantum imaging technology, this is not an alien movie, it can only be regarded as a part of the movie."
"Everything in the alien cinema is a personal experience, in addition to sight and sound, you can smell all kinds of smells, such as the fragrance of a beautiful woman when you are close-up close-up. You can also experience various feelings, such as the wind blowing, such as the temperature dropping slightly when playing the polar planet, in short, everything makes you feel like you're there. ”
Antonio was full of praise: "It's amazing, if the earth masters this technology, the movie will make more people crazy to like it." ”
"But in aliens, highly realistic brainwave sensing technology is introduced, and this kind of movie is actually obsolete. Mr. Antonio, this alien movie has long since passed their copyright protection period, and I can play it for profit. I'd like to ask you to send a cinematographer over and shoot this film directly here, and then you can distribute it. ”
Antonio thought about it, this is completely possible, because the naked eye can't tell whether these images are real or fake, even under the magnifying glass, the metal plate next to him can't be seen as fake, and it can be taken as a scene that is happening. In this way, the film only needs to be filmed and recorded, and then translated into the alien language through subtitles.
This is already a ready-made film, and with a little post-processing, it is ready for screening.
There is a gun version in pirated movies, that is, secretly taking a video recorder into the cinema and secretly filming it on the screen, and the quality of such pirated copies is very poor. Now it is also this way to transcribe alien movies, which can also be regarded as a gun version, but the technology is too strong, and the quality after reshooting once is still the quality of high-definition movies on Earth.
Xu Hao said: "As for the box office share, you give me the most preferential plan, if you can't satisfy me, then I'll find another company." ”
Antonio thought for a moment and said: "If the box office share is according to the rules of film distribution, in addition to taxes and fees, theaters and cinemas account for 57%, and the distributor accounts for 10% of the remaining 43%. Overall, the producers accounted for about 33% of the total box office. I can negotiate the price of this movie with the theater chain, and I can reduce the company's distribution fee to 5%, as long as I can protect the capital.
"But I can't give you a definite answer right away, because I still have to talk to major theaters, so I can only do my best. In my estimation, I think you can make about 40% of the total box office.
"After all, this is a special film, and the theater will make appropriate concessions. As for the DVD share after the movie is offline, after deducting the production and distribution costs, you account for 90%, and Universal Carnival accounts for 10%. (In fact, the North American box office split is more complicated, and there are many forms, so this book is written in a simpler way.) )
Anyway, this movie is zero cost for Xu Hao, there is no capital business to make a steady profit, and it is destined to make a lot of money, this ratio is already very favorable, he said: "Then so be it, Daniel, allow the photographer of Huanyu Jiahua to come here to record." ”
Daniel, the bodyguard on the side, immediately said, "Yes, sir!" ”
Xu Hao and Antonio shook hands: "I wish you a happy cooperation!" I'm leaving Earth, and I hope this movie will be released in half a month. I want to see what happens at the box office. ”
"Half a month, but now alien movies can't be released."
"Oh, I'll arrange this."
Xu Hao didn't stay in this villa for long, he left after negotiating with Antonio, and left the rest to Huanyu Jiahua, after all, they are more professional in the film industry.
Antonio felt that Xu Hao's time was too tight, and he immediately asked the photography team to start work. The photographers came to the villa and set up a digital video camera, and they started shooting directly. Antonio sat on the scene and watched the movie once, and after watching it, he was very excited. This is a classic film, this film is not popular and unreasonable.
When post-production started, Huanyu Jiahua also launched a promotion.
Huanyu Jiahua Company has formulated many promotional plans for films, but there has never been such a smooth promotion. As soon as the news was released, countless reporters and news media flocked to the company's headquarters, and they did everything possible to find out about the film. This is a huge amount of free publicity!
Antonio's voice at the press conference was excited: "It's a great film, I've only seen this one in an alien home theater, but I've been conquered by the cinematic art of the Sima Empire." It is an honour for Universal Carnival to work with Mr. Xu Hao to promote this great alien film on Earth.
"The movie is called Super Wormhole, and it is an interstellar war film in which the Seema Empire and another alien civilization fight over a strategically valuable wormhole. In this movie, you can see the role of the Force Master in interstellar warfare. It is worth reminding that this film is not fictional, but is based on the real historical events of the Sima Empire, and it is a film that realistically restores historical facts.
"The audience can appreciate the real alien civilization in this movie, experience the cruelty of international war, and also appreciate the charm of technology."
The film will be auditioned internally a few days later, and the managers of major theaters will try it out, and then the official release will begin. The birth of this blockbuster has disrupted the original arrangements of many movie theaters, but which theater doesn't want a piece of this kind of film that is destined to be a hit? During the same period, many movies were postponed, intending to avoid the edge of "Super Wormhole".
Xu Hao felt that before leaving the earth, he would leave more than 100 million US dollars to his family, and his family would be completely financially free and live a life of doing whatever he wanted.
This is one of the reasons why he collaborated with Universal K. Wah to make a movie, and there is another reason besides making money, he wants to show people all over the world how powerful the Force really is.
Nowadays, people value themselves very much, but this attention is only because they can take two scientists to study abroad. In the world's deep-rooted beliefs, technology is the most important. And this movie can let people all over the world know that the importance of the Force is not under technology, and the day he returns to Earth in the future, he is invincible with a lightsaber in hand.
A single lightsaber is enough to protect the earth, and a single lightsaber can destroy the world.
This film can make people aware of the importance of the Force, realize their own importance, and can elevate their status.
As their status improves, their parents become safer.
