Half an hour later.

After the movie ended, the screening hall spontaneously burst into applause.

Han Dong clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "The plot is suspenseful and absurd, the overall plot is smooth, the transitions, comedic effects, and Gao Chao are all just right, and there are almost no flaws." ”

"Director Fang, congratulations, you have made an excellent movie."

"Congratulations to Fang Dao..."

Fang Ziheng took out a cigarette and distributed it to everyone, laughing without saying a word.

There are many praises on the lips, but they are not boosted by the shadows.

"Xiao Liu, bring the movie release list for January and February."

"Okay, Han Dong!"

A young guy trotted away and quickly returned with a few papers.

The staff left, the lights of the screening hall were turned on, and Han Dong, Chen Yu and three cadres from the distribution department stayed.

Han Dong took a few glances at the movie release sheet, handed the form to Fang Ziheng, and said, "Let's talk about it, what schedule do you think is better for "The Nameless" to be released?" ”

It is said that Zhongying does not need to ask Fang Ziheng's opinion, just pick a date to finalize.

However, Han Dong received the news that his sister Lin, Concubine Lin, deputy manager and director of the production department of Hengyu Media, has frequently contacted various David TV in the past few days, obviously wanting to hype up "The Nameless".

Han Dong borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and asked Fang Ziheng to choose the schedule, which not only gave favors, but also left a reputation for bringing newcomers.

Fang Ziheng didn't dare to speculate on the leader's thoughts, so he took the form and selected the right schedule with peace of mind.

January 1 "Madagascar 2"

January 7 "Red Cliff" (Part II)

January 16 "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"

January 20 "Crazy Racing"

January 22 "Happy Family 2009"

January 23 "Sound of Dreams"

January 26 "Bridge to Wonderland"

January 26 "Dragon and Phoenix"

Gee...

Throughout January, eight movies got together, all trying to take advantage of the Chinese New Year file, and that's it, not counting the movies released in December 08.

Fang Ziheng looked at February 09, that is, the first month.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 09, the new calendar is January 26.

The schedule of "Nobody" can't be too early, too far ahead to fight with many films in January.

can't be the queen mother, the queen mother can't catch up with the New Year's holiday.

The table shows that throughout the month of February, there were a total of four films.

February 5 "Happy"

February 13 "Afford to Love"

February 14 "Cape No. 7"

February 21 "Love Border"

Of the four movies, almost none of them can be hit.

After reading the form, Fang Ziheng thought about it and said to Han Dong: "January 24th, the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year will be released!" ”

"Twenty-eighth of the lunar month!"

Han Dong thought for a while and slapped his thigh: "Okay, it will be released on the twenty-eighth." ”

He saw that Fang Ziheng wanted to dominate the entire February schedule of 09, and it was released on the twenty-eighth, just one month left to grab the box office.

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, the reputation of "Nobody" was also widely known through the quality and publicity of the movie.

chose this schedule to be released, not only staggered many movies released in December, but also avoided the dozen or so films released in March 09.

It's just that today is January 10th, and there is less than half a month before the release on the 24th.

Publicity?

Han Dong glanced at Fang Ziheng, who had a confident face, and secretly thought that he was really too careful, with the help of the Lin family girl to help with the publicity, he was worried about a yarn.

Thinking of this, Han Dong beckoned to Chen Yu, who was silent: "The publicity and distribution of China Film will be handed over to you, 3 million publicity expenses." ”

"Okay, Han Dong!"

Chen Yu smiled slightly, and responded happily.

The total cost of "Nobody" is 12 million, of which 10 million is for production and 2 million for publicity.

Now China Film has taken out another 300 for publicity, which means that the total publicity cost of "Nobody" has reached 5 million, half of the production cost.

After the schedule was set, Mr. Han withdrew with three cadres.

Only Fang Ziheng and Chen Yu were left in the screening hall, and the two had to negotiate the distribution cost of the film.

"What? 15 pips of issuance! ”

"No, Director Chen, you're cutting Hengyu's bones!"

"Director Fang, 15 points is the normal distribution ratio, I don't bluff you, the vast majority of film distribution in the market is based on the cost of 15 points."

"Director Fang, you also know that Han Dong is very optimistic about "The Nameless" and will increase the publicity cost by 3 million.

Coupled with China Film's omni-channel distribution capabilities, "The Nameless" is the film with the most support from China Film in the Chinese New Year, and it is the only one! ”

Chen Yu spat lotus flowers in his mouth, talked endlessly, and took many movies that are being released as examples.

Fang Ziheng shook his head, resolutely not falling for Chen Yu, and complained from other aspects: "Director Chen, you also know that our Hengyu has just been established, and the whole company has tightened its belts to live, and it is not easy to make a movie, so I will point to it to make some money and have a good year." ”

"15 points is too much, Hengyu really can't accept it!"

"And how much do you say?" Chen Yu smiled and asked with a flick of his cigarette ash.

"Up to 5 points!"

Fang Ziheng stretched out his palm, grabbed it and let it go in front of him, and said with a sad face: "You know, there are too many movies released in the Chinese New Year, and it is not difficult for "Nobody" to recover its costs, but if you want to make a big profit, the chances are very slim.

China Film is already the largest investor of the film, so don't embarrass Hengyu with the distribution fee! ”

He can't help it, the majority of the investment has become China Film, if the distribution fee is really set according to the rules of the market, it is equivalent to helping others work.

"Director Fang, you really dare to say it!"

Looking at Fang Ziheng, who was pretending to be pitiful, the corners of Chen Yu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

The issuance fee of 5 points is the loss of the export you said.

If he really agreed, Han Dong could swallow him alive.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, snuffed out his cigarette, and said with a calm face: "5 points are the treatment that only famous directors such as Lao Mouzi and Chen Daren can enjoy, and they haven't even enjoyed Feng pants, don't you think it's too much!" ”

Zhongying will never be able to agree to Fang Ziheng's request, even if he has a relationship behind him, even if Han Dong is optimistic about him, he will definitely not agree.

Otherwise, you are trampling on the rules of the industry!

A rookie director wants to be on an equal footing with those big directors and famous directors in his first film, if it spreads, how will China Film lead the development of Chinese films, and how will it face the doubts and mouths of the outside world.

Isn't that a joke!

Seeing that Chen Yu was angry, Fang Ziheng slapped his mouth lightly, and he also felt that his lion opened his mouth and was a little floating.

He smiled sincerely and immediately changed his words: "5 points is really inappropriate, how about 7 points?" ”

Chen Yu glanced at him and didn't say anything, but the expression on his face became darker and darker.

The screening room fell silent.

Under the light, the two men stared wide-eyed.

One is smiling, the other is sinking like water.

After a long time, Chen Yu took the lead in releasing and proposing a new ratio.

"In this way, you and I each take a step back, 10 points!"

As the deputy director of the issuance department, he needs to bring more benefits to the group, and he can't really hate Fang Ziheng, nor can he be extorted by the other party.

In the end, after some bargaining, the two sides set the issuance ratio at 9 points, which was 1 point lower than Fang Ziheng's expectations.

Chen Yu asked people to prepare the contract, thinking about signing the contract as soon as possible so that Fang Ziheng would be a bastard.

This birdman, how can he say it!

After a while, the staff sent the contract in.

After reading the contract, Fang Ziheng pointed to the director's remuneration column and said: "Brother Yu, how can I say that I am also self-written, self-directed and self-acting, 200,000 is too low!" ”

“.......”

Chen Yu: "........"

What the hell are you trying to do?
