Chapter 105: Movie Commercials

"I strongly ask Brother Hua to launch a special image of Xiao G, and I will buy it as much as I want."

"When will my little bean bun launch the image of Little G, it seems to chat with her every day."

"I heard that Ah Qian signed a contract with Xiao G's image, but I don't know if the voice is as good as his song......"

"When will the little G image of the fire thief come out, I want to sell a full set of characters!"

On the Internet, in celebrity blogs, film and television forums, and animation forums, many celebrity fans and anime lovers are clamoring, hoping to launch their idol images as soon as possible. However, it has been three days since the news was released, and there are only a few second-tier singers who have reached the intention of signing a contract, and there are almost no film and television stars.

There's no way, who let Li Mu still make trouble in the film and television industry now?

"Brother Feng, if the film and television stars can't handle it, let it go for the time being, first engage in anime characters, contact all domestic and foreign countries, as long as someone is willing to sign a contract, we will help them make it." Li Mu said.

"I'm already in touch," Qian Feng said, "In addition, we are also trying to contact Hollywood stars, and we have just received a few responses, all of whom are more interested." ”

Although the G system is a global distribution and has both Chinese and English language versions, the press conference was held in China, and the popularity was mainly concentrated in China, and even foreign servers were not set up. However, even in this case, there are quite a few European and American users who have downloaded and installed the G system, accounting for about 10% of the total number of users.

"Okay, I'll be relieved to hand over this piece to you." Li Mu said.

Qian Feng is currently the vice president of the film company, but it is Li Mu's company, which will urgently need to hire people, so he will have to be seconded here to help.

"Alas, you can rest assured that this part is going on, but the release of "Absolute Love" will be troublesome...... Qian Feng said with a wry smile, "I originally talked about those theaters, but now I have been forced to change my mind by the film and television production company, although I didn't say that I won't release it, but the film schedule will definitely be greatly reduced......"

"It doesn't matter, hehe." Li Mu smiled casually.

Originally, the purpose of releasing "Absolute Love" was to hype up and let more people see "Absolute Love" to earn some points for themselves. Now that the hype is in place, most of the audience who have already seen it will go to the theater to experience the 3D version, there are no points to earn, and Li Mu naturally doesn't care about the box office.

"It's just a pity, that film is really good, even if the source of the film has been leaked if it is released, I am afraid that the box office will only be able to get two or three hundred million ......" Qian Feng said, "Mr. Li, the film association is still arguing endlessly, you see this ......"

Li Mu sighed, he has been busy with 2048 during this time, but he didn't think much about the film association's question. But it's been a little bit of a month, and the heat is almost over......

"In this way, it was announced that 2048 would buy an advertisement for "The End of the World" for a price of 80 million." Li Mu said.

According to Li Mu's plan, two to three hard advertisements will be inserted in the movie, each ad will be about ten seconds. This method made many peers scoff, thinking that this was pure nonsense, and it was illegal to add advertisements to the movie!

Consumers spend money to buy movie tickets, watch movies, not your ads, and if you force ads, people have the right to sue you! Not to mention adding advertisements in the middle of the movie, even before the movie starts, only public service advertisements can be added, and it must also be played before the broadcast time announced on the movie ticket, otherwise it is also illegal!

Of course, if it is product placement, it is another way of saying, it does not affect the normal plot of film and television, it is just a product display, and no one can control the advertisement that legally circumvents relevant laws and regulations.

The gimmick of free movies has made many advertisers interested, and they have tried to contact the Nine Degrees Space, but none of them have signed a contract for the time being, after all, there is no precedent for this free distribution model, and there is no reasonable solution to the problem involved, and no one dares to throw money indiscriminately.

And the 2048 company bought an advertisement for 80 million, which suddenly muddied the waters.

"Eighty million? Didn't "The Last Days" return to its roots immediately? ”

"Back to Mao, I heard that this is a movie with full special effects, although there are no big stars in this film, but as we all know, special effects are the most expensive to burn. Not to mention anything else, according to the special effects standard of Li Mu's last "Absolute Love", 80 million is definitely not enough! ”

"2048 Company and Nine Degrees Space both have Li Mu's shares, they are putting the money in their left pocket into their right pocket, don't bother with them!"

"Advertisers, don't be fooled, there is no way to release a movie with advertisements in cinemas, even if it is released for free, cinemas are not allowed to show it, it will be in vain!"

"Don't forget, if you don't need copyright, you can definitely spread it on the Internet, then the number of viewers is very large, and advertisers value this the most."

"Hard advertising is not product placement, just those few seconds of footage, isn't it over if you delete it? Don't worry, when the time comes, all that will be circulating on the Internet will definitely be the version of the deleted ad! ”

Li Mu scoffed at this point of view. Not to mention the system, you can easily encrypt advertisements and movies with the second-generation intelligent operating system in your hand, and you can completely delete the advertising clips, and destroy the entire film source and make it unplayable! Even without technical means, just edit the interstitial advertisements and the normal picture of the movie together, for example, in the transition plot period, wouldn't it be all solved to make a picture-in-picture shot?

As for saying that movie in-stream ads are not legal?

"A movie ticket is two dollars cheaper, and the movie ticket is marked with advertising, doesn't that solve the problem? I don't think the audience will mind, if they do, they won't watch it. As for whether the relevant departments agree or not, that's your problem. ”

Li Mu's crooked trick made the eyes of the theater bosses light up, two yuan cheaper? You can do it for 10 dollars cheaper! At present, the box office is divided into theaters, and it may be less than 50% for some blockbusters. Under normal circumstances, a movie ticket is thirty or forty yuan, which means that you have to pay about twenty yuan to the producer, distributor, and the General Administration!

The General Administration's share is definitely inevitable, but if the producer and distributor can save money, it can save more than a dozen yuan, which is not a small amount, of course it is worth doing!

As a result, the cinema company, which had been squeezed by many film and television companies and wanted to loosen a little, became tough without saying a word and resolutely supported the free distribution model!

With reliance, the uproar this time was even worse, the film and television company that took the lead in boycotting Li Mu was simply blocked by several large theater chains, and the films they originally planned to release were directly canceled! And several major film and television companies have also announced with distributors that the films planned to be released will not be released in those major cinema companies.

The most depressing ones are those large companies that have their own theaters and film and television production companies, and their own theaters can only show their own movies, the theaters are starving to death, and the box office of the movies can't keep up, this is the rhythm of death......

To this extent, the General Administration can no longer sit idly by, and can only call the theater and the production party together for a small meeting......
