Chapter 106: Watch the film
Before the movie is released, there is a series of processes.
Screenings, films, test screenings, premieres, and public screenings.
These procedures are all designed to allow the film to gain a certain level of popularity before it is officially released, so that the film can use it to get a better box office.
April.
Because of the relationship of time, the movie "Covering the Sky" canceled most of the process.
It's just that a viewing party was organized privately.
This viewing meeting is different from the viewing meeting of Dragon Snake 2.
Dragon Snake 2's watching film will be more inclined to sell the film to major platforms, so that Xuanyu will get greater profits and more monetary benefits by watching the film.
The viewing meeting of "Covering the Sky" is a means to improve the scheduling rate of a major theater chain organized by Xuanyu and the heads of some large theaters in Longguo under the suggestion of Dousheng and Huayi, which makes them more confident in "Covering the Sky" and thus improves the film scheduling rate.
This time it's easier to watch the film.
It is to invite all the people to Haihua, and then find a venue, play the movie to them, and after watching it, the person in charge of each family will make a preliminary evaluation of the movie in their hearts.
One of the terms of the contract signed by Huayi and Xuanyu is to ensure that there will be 20% of the film schedule in the entire territory of Dragon Kingdom.
But before the heads of major theaters really saw the movie, no one was willing to give a bigger discount, and 20% was already the bottom line they were willing to give.
This is still a figure that only depends on the appearance of Huayi and Shake Sheng, plus the overwhelming publicity of "Covering the Sky" during this time.
Don't think that this number is low, it means that "Covering the Sky" has occupied most of the movie theaters in the 5.1 schedule of Dragon Kingdom.
Judging from the news heard by Guan Mingyuan and others, the other three movies are also about the same schedule.
In this way, there is still the last 20% of the entire 5.1 schedule!
And this last bit of film scheduling is divided among other films.
These movies don't have any big investment movies, they are all dramas produced by some small companies, and those powerful companies have already staggered their schedules, and they don't want to invest so much money in big dramas to wade into the troubled waters of the 5.1 war.
Anyway, there are 5.1 in a year, and there are 10.1, winter and summer vacations, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Spring Festival, so many golden periods, there is really no need to participate in this year's 5.1, which is obviously unusual four melon wars!
So.
The current situation is that the four movies divide most of the film schedule, and the other little-known small movies have only the last bit of dregs!
These movies are already in the garbage heap.
However.
Even so, Sigua is still not satisfied.
Guan Mingyuan had already found out the news, and the other three movies invited many theater chains and the heads of chain theaters to watch the films, in order to scavenge a little more from the last 20%.
Those small movies also suffered from the pond fish because of this, and the three melons wanted to snatch all the remaining scenes away and add more strength to their side!
Each of them has the goal of crushing the other three from the very beginning!
Apparently.
Guan Mingyuan also thinks the same way.
Naturally, he will not be satisfied with such a small schedule of 20%, and it is too late to organize an internal viewing meeting when Zhang Yanggang notified the completion of "Covering the Sky".
Directly on Huayi, Xuanyu, and Shake Sound, invite the theater party to come to Haihua, and also hold a private film viewing party, in order to pull a little more film scheduling, just pull a little more film scheduling!
So, Wang Lei personally came forward to invite some of the more prestigious people in the theater industry who cooperated, Guan Mingyuan came forward to bring in a group of people, Xuanyu was responsible for the venue and travel, and a large group of people came to Haihua Xuanyu Company by plane to participate in this viewing meeting.
Haihua City.
Inside a makeshift movie theater.
As far as the eye can see, more than a dozen rows of seats in the theater are full of people in charge of major theaters who have come from all over the world.
These people in charge all have their own movie theaters in major cities in the Dragon Kingdom, with dozens of more and more than a dozen.
As for those abroad, there are no invitations.
One is that the time is too urgent, and the other is that people who are invited may not necessarily come.
So all the people sitting in the theater are from the Dragon Kingdom.
"I haven't seen the movie yet, what is the quality?" Guan Mingyuan asked worriedly, "There won't be any problems, right?" Don't be too poor in quality, even if you can't keep this 20%, it will be miserable! ”
"Yes, although the contract is signed, the number is not fixed." Wang Lei said: "The contract only stipulates the initial film schedule, and once the film is not good, the theater has the right to reduce the film schedule." ”
"If the quality of "Covering the Sky" is too poor at this film viewing meeting, it is not possible to make 20% of the films scheduled and not even maintain the 5.1 holiday, and it will be withdrawn directly after 2.3 days."
Fu Yiming, as the de facto CEO of Watermelon Video, also came.
Seeing that both of them were so worried, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lao Zhang, what's going on?" This is your first movie, so it won't be particularly crotch-pulling, right? ”
Backstage in the theater, inside the projection room.
The three of them looked at the full movie theater, and their hearts couldn't help but feel a little empty.
"Covering the Sky" has a lot of investment, and the publicity is particularly fierce, but in the actual filming stage, they really haven't seen it much.
Moreover, now that a few people haven't had time to watch the film, it's really too fast to love, Teng, and Yousangua, if you don't keep up, you will be one step behind, and when the film is scheduled, it will be robbed, and it will be too late to cry.
As a result, now, looking at the heads of the theaters below, the three of them couldn't help but worry again.
In the face of the three people's worried inquiries, Zhang Yang seemed confident!
Whether the movie "Covering the Sky" is good or not, he has the most right to speak!
The acting skills of all the actors are online, the special effects are top in the world, the props and details strive to be real, the script also has the original work, and the popularity of publicity and distribution has always ranked first, and with the help of the system, how can such a movie be bad?
Zhang Yang said confidently: "Don't worry, it's definitely not bad!" ”
Hearing him say this, the three of them looked relieved, as if they had put down a big stone in their hearts.
Especially Fu and Guan, the results of this competition are related to the future development of watermelon video, one of them is at the helm of watermelon video, and the other is the director of the group behind watermelon video.
The movie "Covering the Sky" is related to the future of the two, and there is absolutely no room for loss, with the sentence of Zhang Yang, coupled with his previous achievements in the Dragon and Snake series, the two of them can't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
"Ready to start!"
At this time, the theater was already full, and all the invitees arrived.
The four of them walked out of the backstage and came to the front row of the theater.
The interior of the theater was brightly lit, and the four people took the stage one by one.
There was no host, Zhang Yang took the microphone and took the lead in speaking: "Welcome to Xuanyu in your busy schedule." ”
The audience burst into applause at the right time.
There was a burst of applause.
Then the four of them each said a few words, and applause rang out again.
After the applause stopped, Zhang Yang pressed down with both hands and said directly: "The purpose of inviting everyone to come, everyone should be clear, since this is the case, don't say much, let's start!" ”
The lights dimmed, and the four of them exited!
Images began to appear on the big screen.
The crowd, which was originally too full and full of acquaintances, and inevitably talked, also quieted down instantly.
Everyone is quietly waiting for the feature film of "Covering the Sky"!
