"In terms of box office, we can also say, for the sake of Mr. Qin's face, let's split the account by six or four, and the two companies will each contribute half of the publicity and distribution funds, how about it?" After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, he looked at Ren Han.

Mr. Jiang's intention is very clear, he just wants to give Qin Chuan face, so he agreed to release Ren Han's "Midnight Bell", this film is thrilling and exciting, but now, the General Administration of Film and Television has just relaxed the level of the movie, once the movie is launched, the box office is not known, Mr. Jiang deliberately fooled.

Now Ren Han has a request for help, so he has to lower his shelf:

"Mr. Jiang, only 500 theaters are provided, and they will be released 3 times, can there be more!"

"That's right, Mr. Jiang, you are the leader among the distributors, I just introduced Ren Han, you are adding a little, 500 theaters is indeed too few, you have a total of 10,000 theaters under Yuanhang!" Qin Chuan took over the topic.

"Look at what Mr. Qin said, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, 500 theaters will try it out, if the box office is okay, we can continue to discuss!" Mr. Jiang sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, shaking his shiny leather shoes.

"Before the Spring Festival, there were no New Year's movies, a large number of theaters were idle, 500 theaters for you, that's a drizzle, you can't be generous!" Qin Chuan was joking, his tone was very peaceful, and he didn't dare to offend Mr. Jiang's identity.

Qin Chuan secretly winked at Ren Han and invisibly betrayed his favor.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, I also have my difficulties, there are 10,000 cinemas in Yuanhang Cinema, and the daily maintenance is also a big expense, as long as any theater is used, it will be real money, Mr. Ren's first time making a movie, "Midnight Bell" is still a thriller, and our theater has not released similar films before, if the box office is dismal, I will lose a lot of money!" Mr. Jiang sighed helplessly.

Qin Chuan was a little indignant, knowing that Mr. Jiang deliberately made excuses to prevaricate, but he refuted unreasonably, Mr. Jiang was telling the truth.

As long as the screen of the Yuanhang Cinema is empty, it is equivalent to saving maintenance costs, but if it is allocated to the release of "Midnight Bell", once it is used, the maintenance cost will also rise, which is like a factory machine shutdown, no electricity consumption, as long as it is used, a lot of electricity will be wasted.

The box office of "Midnight Bell", if it is not strong, the Yuanhang Theater will lose money to a large extent.

Qin Chuan argued with reason, and Ren Han was very grateful to him, but Mr. Jiang was skeptical about "Midnight Bell" and very harsh on cooperation, which made Ren Han very frustrated.

Mr. Jiang speaks very bluntly, he can think clearly with his buttocks, he doesn't trust "Midnight Bell", and is willing to take out 500 theaters to release it, to put it bluntly, he still sells it to Qin Chuan for a favor, if Ren Han came to negotiate privately, he would have been closed a long time ago.

In terms of movie release, Mr. Jiang has a dominant position in "Midnight Bell".

"Mr. Jiang, are you pessimistic about "Midnight Bell", are you very pessimistic?" Ren Han smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Mr. Ren, the shooting of "Midnight Bell" is good, I don't deny this, but I don't have confidence in the restricted level of movies, and now I don't know how the audience reacts to "Midnight Bell", other theaters have also released restricted level movies, all of which are popular but not sold, and the box office of five or six million ended hastily," Mr. Jiang sighed, and said in the tone of a person who came over:

"Restricted level movies, can not be suitable for all ages, this is a devastating blow to the positioning of the market, only when there are more people watching, the box office can be high, I think, literary films, romance films, historical films, documentaries, these movies for all ages, is the main theme in the environment!" ”

"How do you know if you don't try it, what if "Midnight Bell" becomes popular!" Ren Leng smiled.

"Mr. Ren, don't you just want to be small and big, the cost of restricted-level movies is low, and the return is many times that of ordinary movies, once it becomes popular, you may make a lot of money, you also want to gamble, right, but you ignore one point, foreign culture is different from us, you may have watched a lot of foreign thrillers, and think they are all good, but it is different when you shoot it yourself, it is likely that we are not adapted to the soil and water in our homeland, young people, it is a good thing to want to make movies, but be pragmatic!" ”

Mr. Jiang said a big truth, it is all some correct bullshit nonsense, who doesn't understand the truth, but in person, who knows the follow-up development, Ren Han gritted his teeth and said firmly:

"Mr. Jiang, I have the element of gambling, you are right, so let's go, I will let it go, if I win the bet, we will all earn it together, if I lose, I will pay off all the deficits alone, how can this be!" ”

No matter how good the movie is, the stage that is not shown is all for nothing, Ren Han doesn't want to give up, Yuanhang Cinema is a veteran distribution company, he knows that the water in the entertainment industry is deeper than the Pacific Ocean, and now he is just a rookie director, all kinds of resources are too important, as long as the movie can be released smoothly, he will admit it if he suffers a loss!

"Oh? How is Mr. Ren going to gamble? ”

Hearing Ren Han's words, Mr. Jiang asked with interest.

"Yuanhang allocated 2,000 theaters for "Midnight Bell" to be launched, and we will share the publicity costs equally, and the total box office in the later period did not exceed 20 million, I don't want a penny!"

Ren Han said word by word, before, Mr. Jiang only promised to provide 500 theaters, a total of 1,500 shows, Ren Han asked for 2,000 theaters in one go, each theater played three times, a total of 6,000 times.

Mr. Jiang heard that the box office did not exceed 20 million, and he didn't want a penny, which made him interested, and he thought that Ren Han said something wrong, so he stared at him directly, and saw that Ren Han said very decisively.

"If the box office of "Midnight Bell" exceeds 20 million, as long as it does not reach the 50 million node, we will split the income by 64 percent!"

"More than 50 million, if the box office does not reach 100 million, 73 points, more than 100 million, 28 points! I'm eight! Mr. Jiang, if you cooperate like this, you won't suffer! Ren Han looked at Mr. Jiang and said with confidence.

It's gold that always shines, Ren Han feels that "Midnight Bell" is a platform that needs to be exposed.

Past.

In this parallel world, although it is the first work of the director, not to mention that I don't know much about the box office rules of this world, I am not sure that the box office of the first work I made will have a box office of more than 100 million, and the box office of a little tens of millions is still confident.

Ren Han knew the problems of the businessman's philistine, and the box office revenue rose later, not to mention the release of only 2,000 theaters, Jiang always didn't follow his ass to negotiate increasing the number of theaters, so it's strange.

Ren Han's cooperation initiative just mentioned, no matter what the box office results are, Yuanhang Cinema is sure to make a profit, if Ren Han's movie box office is high, Jiang can always drink soup, and the box office is smashed, it's just a big deal to protect the capital, not to mention that the publicity fee in the early stage is evenly shared, even if the movie ends dismally, at least it can recover some box office revenue.

Ren Han is different, if the box office results cannot exceed 20 million, not to mention the box office income, the publicity expenses in the early stage will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Mr. Jiang laughed:

"Mr. Ren, you are too good!"

Mr. Jiang doesn't know why Ren Han is so confident, but the box office is less than 20 million, and Ren Han is equivalent to doing it for nothing, which makes Mr. Jiang very tempted.

The footage of "Midnight Bell", it is vaguely seen that this movie definitely surpasses other thrillers, and the restricted level movies of the same genre are not half a star worse than it.

First of all, Mr. Jiang is only willing to take out a small number of theaters to go online, in the final analysis, the market is not optimistic about the restricted level of movies, this kind of movie, some people oppose it, not to mention the small-cost production, the good or bad luck of the box office is very important, it is good to break the belly, and the box office can exceed 10 million.

"Mr. Jiang, there is really no way, only by breaking the cauldron can the Jedi be reborn, I really want to gamble! It depends on whether Mr. Jiang is willing to provide a platform! Ren Han smiled helplessly.

"Mr. Ren, there is still a week left for the post-editing and production of the movie, leaving you a lot of time to think about it, so why do you have to negotiate today?" Qin Chuan quietly touched Ren Han with his knees and reminded him covertly.

Qin Chuan said this, all for Ren Han's exam.

Previously, some theaters have also released thrillers, the box office is dismal, some investors have committed suicide by jumping off the building, Qin Chuan advised Ren Han to be cautious, don't step on the thunder pit, Ren Han's entire filming process of "Midnight Bell", the budget is only 10 million, plus the editing and production in the later stage, as well as the publicity of 7788, conservatively estimated, the box office cannot exceed 20 million, and Ren Han may lose all his money.

Mr. Jiang didn't want to miss this opportunity, not to mention that Qin Chuan persuaded him not to express his position immediately, Mr. Jiang was afraid that Ren Han would regret it, so he said with a smile:

"Mr. Ren, how can I say it, in principle, I don't want to cooperate with you, seeing that you are a young director, I don't want to help you as a junior, I think it's a little too much, the conditions you talked about are okay, okay, it's decided!" ”

Ren Han is not stupid, he knows that the other party has to be cheap and behaved, and said some insincere words, so he agreed to cooperate, which is not bad, Ren Han deliberately laughed like an idiot:

"Mr. Jiang takes care of us young people so much, it is really a clear stream in the entertainment industry, happy, refreshing!"

Ren Han pretended to be stupid and sweet, strode over, stretched out his hand directly, and shook hands.

"Haha, Mr. Ren, you young people dare to think and dare to do it, I admire it, some adult directors, it's too grinding to talk about cooperation, I like your straightforward personality very much, don't worry about the contract, let the secretary draft it immediately, and when the contract is signed, once the post-editing of "Midnight Bell" is completed, you can arrange the cinema to go online at any time!" ”

After saying that, the two shook hands again.

Seeing Mr. Jiang's villain laughing, Ren Han cooperated with him and laughed deliberately, the other party may treat him as a fool, Ren Han is also ridiculed in his heart, this guy is too self-righteous, I really think he is a rookie director, and when the movie is released, I will know how good he is.
