"Mr. Jiang, why did you agree to Ren Han holding a screening event under Yuanhang, isn't this a disguised way to help him increase his promotion efforts, not to mention that he invited some enthusiasts who love to watch thrillers, you are not afraid of these people watching it, as soon as it is publicized afterwards, after the movie is released, the box office will exceed 20 million!" The British minister said with a little trepidation.

"Don't worry, Ren Han, this kid can't make big waves, promise him to hold a screening event under the Yuanhang flag, it will not have a fundamental impact on the box office, if the audience doesn't buy the movie, don't care about any tricks to promote, it's not good, aren't you also optimistic about "Midnight Bell", just let Ren Han toss, let's just watch the show on the side!"! Mr. Jiang took a sip of tea and behaved very steadily.

However, the British minister is still not at ease:

"Mr. Jiang, recently Ren Han has been promoting on the Internet, as well as offline, in various ways, it is obvious that he is going to smash the gambling agreement, he must think that "Midnight Bell" can achieve his expected effect, and it will be too late if he does not intervene, hurry up and let Xiaobai prepare, try to focus the first few days of the screen on the screen to those poorest third-tier cities, lest "Midnight Bell" will cause a sensation as soon as it is released, as long as the box office in the previous few days is stretched, the back will be completely hit the street!" ”

"It's too much, it's not good for you to hurt others and yourself, the box office range that Yuanhang Film and Television likes is as close to 20 million as possible, if you do what you say, in case the box office is only a few million, although Ren Han can't take advantage of it, but Yuanhang doesn't get a profit?" Mr. Jiang disagreed.

Mr. Jiang is responsible for the voyage company, and he signed the VAM agreement with the seer, and he also discussed it with the company's backstage boss, and the boss gave a very clear opinion, that is, he should find a way to maximize the company's interests in the VAM agreement, so Minister Ying's suggestion was vetoed by him, and he could not damage the company's profits in order to suppress Ren Han's box office, otherwise he would not want to sit in the position of general manager.

However, Minister Ying insisted on his own opinion, indicating that the consumption of the Yuanhang Company was also consumed by the Minister of England himself, but Ren Han may not be able to afford it, after all, he is just a grassroots director, even if they use the rules to make Ren Han miserable, Ren Han will not break with them, after all, he has not fully gained a foothold in the film industry, and he does not dare to do anything with them.

Under the repeated instigation of Minister Ying, Mr. Jiang was a little shaken......

The other end.

Ren Han was still in the movie hall, chatting with Sun Xuan, and it was already dark in the blink of an eye.

Those enthusiasts who entered the venue and participated in the screening have come out one after another, and the enthusiasts who are sometimes on the scene are all whispering in whispers.

Only the middle-aged man who spoke disrespectfully before, when he came out of the theater, his face was red with embarrassment, and when he came to the movie hall, he finally looked like a deflated ball:

"Mr. Ren, first of all, I want to solemnly apologize to you for my reckless remarks before, say I'm sorry, I hope you don't take it to heart, "Midnight Bell" is indeed a rare good work, compared with those first-class thrillers abroad, it is not inferior at all, I admire it in my heart, I will definitely do my best to promote this movie positively?" ”

Previously, before watching the movie, the middle-aged man was disrespectful, but after watching the feature film, he completely admired Ren Han.

This result, the last trace of uneasiness in Ren Han's heart, instantly came to naught, when people with resistance began to recognize your work, it proves that you have done a good enough.

Moreover, other enthusiasts have the same impression of "Midnight Bell", which proves that the quality of this movie has been done to the extreme, even if there are minor flaws, it is not a flaw.

Soon, the audiophiles who watched the movie walked into the hall and surrounded Ren Han with gossip, everyone couldn't believe that "Midnight Bell" was from the hands of grassroots directors in the region, if you didn't know who the director of this movie was before watching the movie, you might think it was an imported foreign film, and the audiophiles on the scene read countless films, and they all felt that "Midnight Bell" was no worse than foreign thrillers.

Previously, those enthusiasts who participated in the screening, no one cared about the harlequin actor Sun Xuan at all, but after watching "Midnight Bell", they were also impressed by the superb acting skills of the supporting actor in the play, and some people also began to come over to interact and chat with Sun Xuan.

Before entering the venue, Xiang Junli had agreed with Ren Han that after watching the movie, he hoped to get Ren Han's signature, and at this time, he also came around:

"Director Ren, will there be a sequel to this "Midnight Bell"!" ”

"yes, will there be a sequel!" Other people also asked, many people's eyes are full of expectations, I participated in the screening today, watched the feature film, and agreed with this movie in my heart, and many people are looking forward to a sequel.

"If the movie is a blockbuster, of course there will be a sequel, if you want to watch the sequel, then please ask everyone to help promote "Midnight Bell", with box office income, there will be start-up funds to shoot." Ren Han smiled.

Ren Han knew that this screening event was 100% successful, and the enthusiasts on the scene recognized "Midnight Bell", and now they are looking forward to January 18, the day of the official release.

……

The effect after the screening is not bad. "Midnight Bell" has been introduced by several big Vs who have watched it, and its popularity has stretched again.

It has been less than five days since the official release of "Midnight Bell", and online ticket booking is also in full swing.

Many die-hard fans of Ren Han left messages under his Weibo, saying that they would go into the cinema and support "Midnight Bell".

However, many fans who support Ren Han are not interested in movies, but they just like a few songs he wrote before, love Wu and Wu, and also said that they will go into the cinema to support his movies, but many people also interact with Ren Han on Weibo.

"Ren Han, I will go into the cinema to support "Midnight Bell", but please record the official version of the song "Li Lei and Han Meimei" and "What the hell" as soon as possible, I don't want to listen to the live version for a long time, it's not happy!" “

"That's right, that day I will call my relatives and friends and go to the cinema together to support you, but those two new songs, as soon as possible, the trial version must be recorded, or I will swing out the ancestral two-thousand-meter long knife and cut you!" ”

"@杜磊, hurry up and urge Ren Han to record the official version of "What the", "Li Lei and Han Meimei"! Can you pay attention to speed! ““

For the fans' clamoring to upload the official versions of the other two songs as soon as possible, Ren Han ignored them, and now all his thoughts are on "Midnight Bell", which is about to be released in a few days.

Ren Han took a look at the schedule of the filming of the Yuanhang Company, and felt that it was extremely unreasonable, and he also knew that the Yuanhang Company might play tricks, but he didn't expect their methods to be so black, and almost all of the places where the first three days were released were in some remote small cities.

He took a look at the venue distribution of 6,000 silver screens, almost 80% of them are in remote areas, and the remaining 20% are medium and large cities, but there are more monks and less porridge, and even if the audience in big cities has purchasing power, it may be difficult to find a ticket at that time.

Ren Han couldn't stand it a little, and dialed Mr. Jiang's phone number:

"Mr. Jiang, is the screen distribution of "Midnight Bell" really reasonable, 80% of the theaters are arranged in small cities, even if the screening address for the first three days, the theaters are also concentrated in small and medium-sized cities, many big cities, and two or three are symbolically arranged, which is too much, can we cooperate well in the future!" “

Ren Han is a young man with strong blood in the end, and he will say anything directly, and he will never hide his guilt.

He knew that Yuanhang Film and Television might use the rules to suppress him purposefully, and try not to let the box office of "Midnight Bell" exceed 20 million, to put it bluntly, he wanted to use the gambling agreement to eat Ren Han's box office income, Ren Han also knew that these businessmen were poisonous in their means, but he didn't expect it to be so poisonous.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Jiang's old fox held back a sneer and said in a high-sounding voice:

"Xiao Ren, you misunderstood us, it's now the end of the year, and many people who work in big cities have to return to their hometowns one after another, now in small and medium-sized cities, the flow of people is stronger than in the usual big cities, don't underestimate people in small cities, pay dozens of dollars to watch a movie, it's still not much difficult, I'm also looking forward to the big hit of "Midnight Bell", if this movie breaks through 20 million, according to our previous gambling agreement, you eat meat and I will drink soup with you, I can't get along with you!" “

At the same time, Mr. Jiang persuaded Ren Han with clever words that Yuanhang Film and Television would change the regional branch of the theater at any time according to the fluctuations of the box office in the later stage, and he advised Ren Han not to worry about it, if the results are really powerful, he can even negotiate the possibility of increasing the number of screenings in the future.

Although the movie is really a big hit, Yuanhang Film and Television, where Mr. Jiang is located, does have the possibility of drinking soup with him, and the box office must be very high.

If the box office only exceeds 20 million, above this range, then Ren Han is equivalent to taking away the bulk of the money, because they agreed before.

The box office did not exceed 20 million, and Ren Han didn't want a penny.

If the box office of "Midnight Bell" exceeds 20 million, as long as it does not reach the node of 50 million, the income will be divided into six or four accounts, six shares for Ren Han, and four shares for Voyage Film and Television!

More than 50 million, if the box office does not reach 100 million, seventy-three points, more than 100 million, twenty-eight points! Eight copies of Ren Han, two copies of Voyage Film and Television!

For Yuanhang Film and Television, there are two kinds of profit maximization, either less than 20 million box office, or higher than 100 million box office.

Of course, when Mr. Jiang signed the gambling agreement at that time, he was particularly not optimistic about "Midnight Murder Bell", although he said on the phone that the better the results of the movie, the happier he was, it was just flattery, he wished that "Midnight Murder Bell" would be best not to break the box office of 20 million, so it was the most worry-free for Yuanhang Film and Television, and all the box office income was Yuanhang.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

As for whether the box office can exceed 100 million, Mr. Jiang has never imagined it.

In fact, what he is most worried about is that the box office will exceed 20 million, a little more, and Yuanhang Film and Television will suffer the most.

Mr. Jiang was very hypocritical on the phone, Ren Han was very angry when he heard it, and before Mr. Jiang finished speaking, he found an excuse and hung up the phone.

Ren Han scolded in his heart, surnamed Jiang, don't think you are clever, I don't know, don't you just think that the box office of my movie will not exceed 20 million, and then you will eat all the box office income.

Then let's wait and see, when my movie breaks through 20 million, there will be no place to buy the medicine that you regret when the time comes, if the box office really breaks through 100 million, you can drink soup if you want, then we have to sign a new agreement, don't forget that there are only 2,000 silver screens on the agreement, each silver screen is played three times, a total of 6,000 plays, and if you want to broadcast the excess part, it depends on my face.

Ren Han picked up his mobile phone and inquired about the pre-sale ticket office of "Midnight Bell", and the tickets sold online had exceeded more than one million in less than half a day.

The purchase rate of this ticket is still quite good, after all, many buyers are citizens of small cities, and Mr. Jiang originally thought that he had done something to control the box office volume by taking advantage of the low consumption level in small cities, which did not seem very good.

Nowadays, everyone's quality of life is better, and a little extra money to buy a movie ticket is not a problem at all for residents of small cities, even if it is a child in the countryside, they can also afford it.

Yuanhang Film and Television, after all, only provides 2,000 screens, and the online ticket sales of "Midnight Bell" take less than half a day, and it can cause such a big sensation in a small city, which is already a considerable achievement.

However, Ren Han is also very rational, this growth rate is still a little slower, according to this progress, it is still difficult for the box office revenue to exceed 20 million within five days.

"I hope that the gambling agreement will not be lost, if it really loses, it will continue to eat soft rice like the original owner of the bastard!" When no one was around, Ren Han couldn't help but laugh at himself and talk to himself.

Since the VAM agreement was signed before, then it was a big trouble, and now I can only grit my teeth and insist, after all, the contract signed in black and white has no regrets, but I won't eat soft rice, I won't eat soft rice in this life, even if the VAM agreement fails, Ren Han still has the possibility of making a comeback.

After all, the first start-up capital he used to shoot "Midnight Bell" was his own funds to sell scripts, and these large-scale investments were neither cobbled together nor asked for by his wife Su Yuefei.

Even if the gambling agreement is lost, this time to make a movie, it doesn't matter if the cost of 20 million before and after is lost, he still has a chance to rise again, after all, his mind is full of all-inclusive screenwriting knowledge, and it is a big deal that he will sell a few more high-end scripts, or release a few pop songs, and he will accumulate the first pot of gold in a short period of time and start filming again.
