Chapter 377: The Opponent of the Lunar New Year File (Asking for Subscription)
It's December.
With the addition of a number of outsourcing teams such as Konjac Animation, the post-production progress of the movie "The Snake Comes to Run" is gratifying.
Based on this premise, Gu Miao made an appointment with representatives of distributors and theaters in advance to discuss preparations for the premiere of the film.
During the communication, Gu Miao learned a fact that shocked him.
The publisher is better.
On the other hand, the theater company is not optimistic about the box office prospects of "The Snake Comes to Run". They even felt that the film ......
It's not as good as "Kuiba 1"!
"Mr. Gu, it's not that I deliberately belittle your work, nor do I deliberately find fault."
The theater representative said in embarrassment: "But the facts are in front of you, the finished quality of your movie is not as good as "Kuiba's 100,000 Urgent". ”
"It's a pity that we even finished such a high-quality "Kuiba", we really don't have confidence in you!"
It's hard to hear, but it's true.
The view of the theater side is very simple, they don't understand any artistic aesthetics, they don't know what animation style, they only know......
Gu Miao's movie, just with the naked eye, the production cost is not as good as "Kuiba", and the picture expression is not as good as "Kuiba".
Here's the problem.
"Kuiba" is of such high quality and amazing picture expressiveness, but the box office collapsed, so is the movie with worse quality than "Kuiba" worthy of a high film scheduling rate?
"You can't say that."
Gu Miao patiently explained: ""The Snake Comes to Run" and "Kuiba" are two styles of work, just like horror movies and romance movies, you can't compare them like this. ”
On the cost of production, on the fineness of the painting, on the completion of the script, on the integrity of the story, on the expressiveness of the picture......
Pleasant Goat is not as good as "Kuiba".
But the two are not on the same track in the first place, so the comparison is not fair, and the audience who watches the Pleasant Goat movie does not necessarily overlap with the audience of "Kuiba".
Therefore, Gu Miao was not convinced.
He thinks that the Pleasant Goat movie deserves a higher film scheduling rate. You can't judge this movie because of this "ridiculous" reason!
Isn't that a fuss?
Around the controversy over whether the Pleasant Goat movie is the next "Kuiba", Gu Miao and the theater side launched a heated debate.
As for the outcome of the debate......
It can only be said that no one has convinced anyone.
Theater companies have their considerations, and it is impossible to give up movies with obvious potential because of Gu Miao's words.
After all......
No matter how famous Gu Miao is, it is also in the animation industry, in the field of film, he is just a fledgling "rookie director".
Newcomers don't want to "trample" on the rules.
Unless Gu Miao has already made a record and proved his box office appeal with his works, otherwise, it is unlikely that the theater side will give him a high film scheduling rate as soon as he comes up.
Thinkers
"That's it."
After returning home, Jiang Keke, who learned the result of the negotiation, comforted: "As a newcomer in the film industry, you haven't negotiated it, why are you angry?" ”
"No, you don't understand!"
"Obviously, Da Xiong always told me that he would help me fight for the film schedule at that time, and the result was ......"
Gu Miao spread her hands and said speechlessly: "You also saw that the theater line is completely uncooperative, can I not be angry?" ”
"Actually, I know why."
Jiang Keke took out his mobile phone from his pocket, fiddled with it, and handed it to Gu Miao and said, "Look at this, can you understand the cinema company?" ”
"Actor Peng Ze."
"The new film of Little Steel Cannon is finalized."
"This year's Chinese New Year stalls are competing for the deer?"
After reading the content of this news report, Gu Miao suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the new film of actor Peng Ze, the new film of the well-known director Xiaogang Cannon, and another overseas imported film, which will be released in the New Year.
No wonder the cinema company has such a firm attitude, saying that it refuses to guarantee Gu Miao's film schedule, it turns out that this is the case!
"Gan!"
Gu Miao put down her phone, frowned and said, "This year's Chinese New Year, the competition is so fierce?" There is so much hard stubble? ”
"yes!"
Jiang Keke sat on the other side of the sofa and said: "Everyone says that this year's Chinese New Year stalls are fairy fights!" ”
Immortals don't fight.
Gu Miao shook her head, she didn't think that these films were "immortals", at best they were "masterpieces".
But even so, more than three masterpieces were released in the same schedule, which was also something that was not done in previous years' Chinese New Year files.
I can only say that it is too unlucky.
The front foot has just been dug into the wall, the film production has almost stopped, and after the back foot is set, it has encountered such a cruel competitor.
Gu Miao had the urge to scold her mother.
However, when he thought about it, when the original Pleasant Goat "Tiger and Tiger" movie was released, he collided head-on with land immortals like "Avatar".
In contrast, he was already very lucky to have only met so many goods.
No way!
The schedule has already been set, and it is definitely too late to change it now, and Gu Miao can only comfort herself with the example of "Tiger and Tiger".
Don't panic, the advantage is mine!
When Cameron came with "Avatar", wasn't the scene much worse than now? At that time, didn't "Tiger and Tiger" also slash hundreds of millions of box office to dominate the king!
Whether the schedule is good or not, you can't just look at competitors, but also look at the time......
That's right!
During the Spring Festival, it was a time of "family reunion". A large family, young and old, all gathered together.
At this moment, a movie like the Pleasant Goat movie, which focuses on "festive and funny", is much more competitive than other films.
……
Just when Gu Miao stayed at home and felt a headache for the opponent of the New Year stall, Du Hao welcomed his first child in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangchuan Medical University.
"Congratulations!"
When Gu Miao received the news, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and he was born so soon?
Later, after thinking about it, I found that there was no problem, because Du Hao's house is a typical example of "getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket".
What about referees?
Someone is running, blow the whistle!
After learning that Du Hao's wife gave birth to a daughter, Gu Miao felt a sour feeling in her heart, and she didn't even want to receive the red envelopes in Du Haofa's company group.
He was envious!
No, I can't watch it! If you stay in the group and watch Du Hao show off, it is estimated that his heart can't stand it.
After exiting the group chat, Gu Miao, who decided to change his mood, just clicked on the circle of friends, and the content refreshed on the homepage immediately stunned him.
Mr. Bear: "Welcome, my baby!" Learn to be a good father from today! Come on! [Picture]"
Really?
Seeing the "inspection report" posted by Mr. Xiaoxiong, Gu Miao subconsciously rubbed her eyes, and then zoomed in to read it again.
Outcome......
It's true!
Just today, Du Hao's wife gave birth, and the wife of Mr. Xiao Xiong in the same hospital was also found to be two weeks pregnant.
Fakyu!
Did these two make an appointment, announce the news on the same day, deliberately stimulate him, and want him to explode mentally?
