Previously.

The gambling agreement is very clear, as long as the box office does not exceed 20 million, Ren Han does not have a penny to share.

Mr. Jiang believes that as long as the Spring Festival and New Year's Day stalls are staggered, it is relatively easy to control the box office of "Midnight Bell" below 20 million, and the number of moviegoers in usual times is definitely not as large as that of important festivals.

Let alone.

Released on January 18, the timing of the card is better, between the New Year's Day schedule and the Spring Festival schedule, the schedule during this period is still better than the box office of the general season.

Mr. Jiang's purpose is very clear, as long as the box office is controlled below 20 million, the closer to 20 million is the best, so that Yuanhang Film and Television can maximize its benefits.

Ren Han also thought that Yuanhang Cinema wanted to bully him a lot, in addition to making a fuss about the release time, he could also do something in the radiation volume of the theater, and previously promised to provide Ren Han with 3,000 screens, which would be screened three times in each cinema, for a total of 6,000 screenings.

The theaters arranged by Yuanhang Cinema focus on small cities below the third tier, or small counties, and as for the first-tier cities, each city can symbolically arrange a cinema.

The most desired result of the Yuanhang Cinema is about 20 million at the box office, but it is not yet 20 million, which is the most cost-effective.

The water in the film and television industry, Ren Han knows how deep it is with his eyes closed, and Ren Han knows these operations better than anyone else.

Previously, if he dared to sign a gambling agreement, he still fancied the market value of "Midnight Bell", otherwise Ren Han would not dare to bet that as long as this movie is truly recognized by the audience, no matter when it is released, it will not have much impact, and other factors are objective factors.

The quality of the movie is the biggest factor, if the quality of the movie is not good, no matter how tricks and opportunistic tricks are, it will not work.

Mr. Jiang mentioned the release time, Ren Han didn't think about it, so he agreed.

"Since Mr. Ren agrees with our Fang Yu, then let's just say so, we will help you with the follow-up procedures, please come over today, just to explain the situation to you!" Mr. Jiang said, and then looked at Minister Ying and said:

"Today is the operation department, I specially made an appointment with Mr. Ren, the specific situation, the leader, or you will talk about it!" ”

Minister Ying snorted coldly, cleared his throat, and said straight to the point:

"Mr. Ren, let me tell you directly, about the publicity work of "Midnight Bell", I don't feel good about the promotional videos you sent!" ”

"What kind of problem do you have, please tell the British minister clearly!" Ren Han understands that this guy is picking his nose and eyes, and the movie is under this guy's control, and the reason why this guy invited Ren Han over is because Ren Han didn't honor him in private, and this bastard wants to make a stumbling block from it.

The British minister pointed his fingers and said:

"I watched the promotional video you sent before, and as an adult, I feel that some bloody scenes are not suitable for it, you see, how about deleting some disgusting scenes, except for bloody topics, can't you find other inspiration materials, overall, this movie is okay, I think it may be better to delete some bloody scenes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ren Han decisively retorted:

"Minister Ying, this "Midnight Bell" is a thriller, this film does not promote demons and monsters, mainly on the topic of bloody horror, if I delete all these elements you said, then this movie is like boiled water, there is no taste!" ”

"Delete the bloody plot, you can properly fill in other bridges, I see a few female leads, they are all beautiful, you might as well design some very sexy plots in it, human beings have curious characteristics, and the vast majority of people who watch horror movies are men, sexy is definitely a big selling point, and you can even add a small amount of Fengyue film plot!" The British minister looked like he was pointing the country.

Since the introduction of the movie-level classification, in addition to thrillers and Fengyue films, they are also very marketable, and many producers have grasped the psychological characteristics of human curiosity and beauty, and have shot some works that are only suitable for adults.

After Minister Ying finished speaking, several people at the scene glanced at each other and nodded respectively.

Among the restricted level movies, Fengyue films are indeed very popular, and Yuanhang Film and Television Company also knows this, not to mention that this surnamed Ying is also good, he put forward his own bullshit suggestions.

"Minister Ying, this is your suggestion to me!" Ren Han stared at him.

"That's all for now, and I'll add to it when I think of anything else!" The British minister coughed, and then said:

"Mr. Ren, you are a newcomer who has just made a movie, and the advice we say is all for your good, you know!" ”

Ren Han understood what this guy meant, that is, he didn't do anything in private, this guy picked his nose and eyes, on the surface, it was for his good, but in fact, he was just a fool, and he was talking about bullshit, and it didn't work at all.

Ren Han is not afraid of crooked shadows, in this parallel world, the film industry already has clear documents that can make movies at the restricted level.

It's not that he doesn't dare to make Fengyue films, and it's not this world that he is not allowed to make Fengyue films.

It's just that "Midnight Bell" is a thriller, and he doesn't want to confuse horror movies with Fengyue films.

Thinking of this, Ren Han showed a look of disdain:

"Minister Ying, your suggestion is not helpful for "Midnight Bell", I thought you would put forward constructive suggestions, or rather, my plot should be appropriately improved, but you asked me to delete some plots, so that the plot does not match, isn't it interesting! Also, it's not that I don't dare to make Fengyue films, and the law doesn't allow it, my film is a thriller, and I don't want to show ethical things in it! ””

Ren Han said this, it was enough restraint, and he even suspected that the garbage in front of him didn't look at the poster publicity, but he was just fooling out of thin air, bullying him as a newcomer, and he didn't know how this kind of garbage got into a high position, and it wouldn't be bought with money.

The most annoying thing is that Yuanhang Film and Television probably can't afford to offend the god in front of him, and they are all accompanied by smiling faces like pugs, which makes Ren Han even more angry.

The voyage film and television led by these scum will end sooner or later, real movies, in addition to following the laws of the market, must also follow the laws of the plot, and cannot be artificially tampered with at will, let alone listen to the random suggestions of those who are not bullshit.

After Ren Han finished speaking, several high-level executives of distant film and television frowned, and they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, they were very worried that what Ren Han said just now had annoyed Minister Ying and caused the normal release of "Midnight Bell".

Ren Han saw what they meant, and shook his head helplessly, he was even very worried about the future development of Yuanhang Film and Television, although Yuanhang Film and Television is now a leader in the industry, but it does not follow the market rules of the film, artificial intervention, and when the old capital of the film and television company is eaten up, it will collapse in the future.

"Yo, it seems that Mr. Ren's understanding of movies is very thoughtful, so you might as well tell me your opinion on "Midnight Bell", we also want to hear your opinions!" The British minister asked arrogantly.

The subtext is, you are a stunned young man, and you dare to talk to me about your strengths and weaknesses, believe it or not, I will completely ban your movie, and there will be no chance for you to cry.

Ren Han took a sip of the water cup and retorted solemnly:

"Minister Ying, you asked me to delete the bloody scenes, after the deletion of the plot is incoherent, what should I do if the audience doesn't buy it, and also, you asked me to add some Fengyue clips, how can I edit them in, go to the original team, obviously impossible, several crew teachers are old drama bones, after the filming of "Midnight Bell", they joined other crews, and now they can't start the schedule, and "Midnight Bell" is originally a thriller, not a Fengyue film, why should I shoot the Fengyue plot!" ”

"I asked you to add some Fengyue clips, didn't it help you increase your attendance, besides, "Midnight Murder Bell" was originally a low-budget movie, is it difficult to add a small number of Fengyue clips, besides, most of the actors in this play are newcomers, you add more money and invite them back, is it difficult!" The British minister pouted.

"Why don't you tell me to reshoot, even if I recruit those actors again, not to mention the salary and behind-the-scenes expenses, if the leading actor doesn't agree to stage on a large scale, can I force others, besides, such sneaky will definitely attract paparazzi, how to do the secret work, I wonder, why should a good thriller become a Fengyue film!" Ren Han shook his head, and then said:

"Even if according to you, all the work is done again, the audience enters the cinema, after watching it, they must think that I deceived them, the poster is promoting a thriller movie, and it has become a Fengyue film, not to mention that this movie hit the street, then my personal reputation is stinky, so do I want to mix in the film industry in the future!" ”

"As for the confidential work, it's your own business, Mr. Ren, many famous directors have also made Fengyue films, and other people's confidential work is still done well, since you have the ability to build a crew, what is the paparazzi to you!" Minister Ying didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, and he really thought that making a movie was like burping and farting, and he said it lightly.

"Minister Ying, now that the level of the movie has been relaxed, Fengyue films are not illegal, if you have the opportunity, you can also make Fengyue films in the future, "Midnight Bell" is a thriller, with horror as a selling point, not to portray ethics, you said earlier that the Fengyue clip was added to attract popularity, I don't agree with your point of view!" Ren Han's reasoned rebuttal:

"I don't deny that Fengyue films conform to some people's values, but not everyone likes Fengyue films, at least some people are disgusted, my "Midnight Bell" is a horror film, I don't see my film, equate it with Fengyue films, which is a blasphemy for the audience and me!" “

"Mr. Ren, when you say that, it's a bit strong!" Minister Ying decisively interrupted Ren Han's explanation.

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

"Minister Ying, someone has said that everything that is reasonable exists, everything that exists must be reasonable, thrillers, Fengyue films, some people like them, and some people are disgusted, some people hate watching thrillers, just as some people hate Fengyue films, I don't deny the value of Fengyue films, I just said that "Midnight Bell" is a thriller, there is no need to use the gimmick of Fengyue films to attract popularity, that goes against my original intention of making movies! Just like some directors, in order to shoot classic works, are unwilling to take sponsors' money and place advertisements in their films! ““

After Ren Han finished speaking, he took another sip of water and breathed a sigh of relief.

Several high-level executives of the Yuanhang Cinema did not make a sound, and they all felt that what Ren Han said made sense.

In recent months, the level of movies has been relaxed, and many thrillers, Fengyue films, have been released in theaters one after another, and many people want to use the current gimmick to exchange for economic value through the means of Bo Position, which is similar to the title party.

Many movies are selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the content does not match the title at all, and some movies are historical dramas with names, but after watching them for ten minutes, they feel that they are old boys, urban dramas.

This British minister thinks he is, but he doesn't understand anything, and when he sees that Ren Han is a cutting-edge director, he always wants to teach him how to behave and do things in the role of a person who has come over.

Minister Ying was very unconvinced when he heard this, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it, so his face turned green with anger, and he complained in order to complain:

"Anyway, "Midnight Bell" was very badly filmed, and it is also a bad drama to say that the sky is broken, and the box office cannot exceed 20 million, I estimate that no one will watch it!" “

"Minister Ying, "Midnight Bell" has not yet been released, who knows that the next box office will be lost, I signed a gambling agreement with Yuanhang Film and Television before, if you are not convinced, we will also sign a gambling agreement, I am afraid that you dare!" Ren Han smiled and provoked him.

Ren Han still can't wait for the surname Ying, and also sign a gambling agreement, at least this guy will not find trouble with the movie "Midnight Bell" in the next few days, at least it can be released normally!

Although Mr. Jiang also wished that the box office of "Midnight Bell" was less than 20 million, he was even more unaccustomed to the surname Ying, this guy relied on his own rights, and usually mixed with the voyage company for no reason, everyone was not used to it, but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Just now.

Ren Han is neither humble nor arrogant, he is a strong man surnamed Ying, and Mr. Jiang is still a little happy in his heart, but seeing that the anger of the two people has come up, Mr. Jiang has to play a round on the side:

"Hahaha, Mr. Ren, I appreciate your courage and courage, you have signed a gambling agreement with our voyage company before, which already shows that you are very confident in your work, so why bother to bet with the British minister." ”

Then, Mr. Jiang turned his head and said to the British minister:

"Leader, Mr. Ren has signed a VAM agreement with our company, which shows that he values his works very much, I think the leader should not bet with him, he is still young, and it is normal to be a little angry, so don't worry about him!" ”

"Mr. Jiang, I want to sign a gambling agreement with Minister Ying alone, and the previous gambling agreement, there is no half-dime relationship, isn't Minister Ying not optimistic about my movie, well, it depends on whether he has the courage to gamble with me!" Ren Han said confidently.

"Previously, I heard that Mr. Ren and Mr. Jiang signed a gambling agreement, I wanted to ask Mr. Ren, how do you plan to bet with me, as long as you say the specific way to play, I am willing to accompany you!" The British minister said without showing weakness.
