Chapter 249: All parties scramble
The theaters that asked for this movie, from the sparse at the beginning, to almost two-thirds of the theaters in the back chose to get it.
Some old people can know what these movie theaters are thinking when they turn around in their minds.
is nothing more than coveting Gu Che's fame to see if it can bring some help to the box office of the movie!
There is one point, Gu Che guessed wrong.
With his current popularity, no matter what he does, it will be eye-catching, let alone making a movie?
Fortunately, he also went to make movies, so his fame still needs multiple transformations.
Considering that this is a Cantonese opera movie, no matter how unpopular a movie is, even if a lot of special effects are added, the language of Cantonese opera has dispelled many movie theaters.
Now, those movie theaters want this film, but they are not sure how strong Gu Che's appeal is, and whether it can call on the box office of an unpopular film
Therefore, the movie theater basically took it into the pocket first, tried to arrange the film once, and if the effect was not good, it was immediately removed from the shelves.
Anyway, the film has already been scheduled, even if it is only lined once, it is still scheduled, they chose to be removed from the shelves because of their poor box office performance, and Gu Che can't say anything about them.
If Gu Che was not making movies, but making movie dramas, then I am afraid that there will be more people in charge of TV stations who shout "I want it" now, and at the same time, each round of bidding will be higher and higher.
The price of the movie is still a bit expensive, and it needs quality to make the audience pay for it.
But TV series are different.
TV dramas can be watched for a fee or for free, no matter which channel is taken, the TV station is sure that it will be able to recover the cost.
TV stations do not have such high quality requirements as movies, I believe that netizens will choose to pay even if they are not for the quality of the script, just for Gu Che's face.
It's a pity that Gu Che is making a movie.
After a while, no one finally shouted "yes", and the host continued, "Then let's move on to the next film-"
"Wait, Gu Che's Cantonese opera movie is for our Fanghua Cinema!"
As soon as the name of "Fanghua Cinema" came out, the persons in charge of many cinemas crossed out thoughtfully.
Don't look at the name of "Fanghua Cinema", it sounds antique, but in fact, this is a serious theater that makes science and technology films.
It's just that science and technology films are notoriously difficult productions, and from the beginning, only science and technology films were recruited, but as long as there are some cool special effects, Fanghua Cinema will also want them.
may be on the right path, netizens also like technology-related films, even if the content is not technological, but there is a little special effect, Fanghua Cinema is still rising, and the sales results are gratifying.
Fanghua Cinema has opened a theater as soon as it makes money over the years, and there will inevitably be prosperous cities, in addition, some third- and fourth-tier small cities have opened the most.
The cost of investment in third- and fourth-tier cities is not high, and it is much cheaper than those in the highly competitive second-tier cities.
On the contrary, this has once again paved the way for Fanghua Cinema, and now, it has become one of the elders who hold many cinema channels.
Many movie theaters are wary of Fang Hua Cinema, for fear that he will rely on the huge number of movie theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities to change the content and style, which will have a great impact on other styles of movie theaters.
They asked themselves, if Fanghua Cinema really gave up the element of "technology style", but replaced it with other elements, with the layout of others in third- and fourth-tier cities, I am afraid that other cinemas will ......
It can't be beaten.
Gu Che's "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" is a Cantonese opera film, which is obviously more classical and far from the style of technology.
As soon as Fanghua Cinema said "I want it", it immediately aroused the vigilance of other theaters.
"Hasn't your family always wanted sci-fi films, why did you want "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", could it be that you want to transform into some ancient films?"
The range of ancient films is very wide, and it is benchmarked against modern films.
Speaking of which, films with elements such as youth campuses and urban criminal investigation can be placed in modern films, which is a general direction and does not make a very detailed distinction.
In the same way, the scope of ancient films includes Jinyiwei, ancient broken eucalyptus, and ancient fantasy films.
The person in charge of Fanghua Cinema said with a smile: "No, our movies have always taken the sci-fi route, but you look at this year's Spring Festival stalls, there is no sci-fi style at all, and we have no choice but to choose some similar styles." β
"Then you shouldn't choose "The Legend of the White Snake: Love"?" A movie theater director said.
Seeing that his face was not fake, people who didn't know thought he was an employee of Fanghua Cinema.
The person in charge of Fanghua Cinema had already found an explanation, and said slowly: "Everyone, haven't you seen the trailer of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love"? β
"If you've seen the trailer, you'll know why Fanghua Cinema wants this film."
A movie theater specializing in ancient films was really afraid that Fang Hua Theater had ulterior motives, so he simply played the trailer of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" in public in a video conference.
"A Cantonese opera movie, where is it worth worrying about Fang Hua Theater, Fang Hua Theater must have the idea of wanting to change the genre!"
"Fanghua Cinema has opened so many movie theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities, and the volume is three or four times that of ordinary theaters, not to mention all the transformations, just one third of the transformation from them, which is enough to crush that type of cinema!"
"Fanghua Cinema must be stopped!"
However, no matter how good the ideas in the hearts of the people in charge of the cinema were, after seeing the trailer again, they couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Is this a Cantonese opera movie?
Oh yes, it's true that the whole process is communicated with Cantonese opera dialogues.
But it is a Cantonese opera exchange style, and the films that can be shot are not "Cantonese opera" at all!
This is clearly a mythical story and a legendary film!
There are some movie theater directors who cry out in their hearts for luck.
Most of these people in charge have not seen the content of the trailer, and the reason why they want this film is because of the word "Gu Che".
But now that I've watched the trailer, these cinema directors are really happy.
Judging from the content of the trailer, the special effects martial arts scenes are very well done, and the content is also very compact.
Myths and legends, everyone has heard about them since childhood.
But what you hear is still very different from what you see with your own eyes.
Even if you know what kind of story this is telling, judging from the quality of the trailer, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of viewers to watch.
At this moment, not only Fanghua Theater wants this film, but also the remaining one-third of the movie theater directors who don't want it, and they also say that they want to release this film.
And these theaters that will be asked later are all large-scale theaters, and several of them can be compared to Fanghua Cinema!
Gu Che naturally didn't know that in the video conference inside the theater, the films he participated in were booked one after another.
At this time, he was still worried that his fame could not be used in movies.
After sending a request in the circle of friends, Gu Che waited with Ye Ming for two hours, and finally waited for a singer.
That singer also happens to know Gu Che, it's Xie Changming!
Since Xie Changming sang Gu Che's "The Story of Love Part I" in "The Strongest Singer", he has been in the limelight and has a smooth career, and later won the third place in the finals of "The Strongest Singer".
Xie Changming's career is even more smooth sailing, although he can't become a superstar like Guan Meimei, but the king is also of different grades.
In the past, Xie Changming only stayed in the middle class of the Heavenly King, but now Xie Changming has already gone to the top level.
If there is no accident, it has been developing smoothly, and this year's Xie Changming should have been successfully promoted.
But what Xie Changming is most afraid of is also an accident.
"The Story of Love Part I" has become his classic signature song, if there is a previous episode, there will definitely be a next episode, Xie Changming sent an application for an invitation to Gu Che early, but his agent kept saying that there was no schedule and could not be created.
So much so that Xie Changming's thoughts about the next episode are accumulating more and more, and it has become an obsession.
He thinks that "The Story of Love Part I" was so popular as soon as it was launched, and if there is "The Story of Love Part II", it will definitely continue the popularity of the last episode, and he will add a signature classic song!
When he saw Gu Che's circle of friends, Xie Changming did not hesitate to seek help from Xingchen Entertainment.
Originally, the agent was quite curious about him asking for a place in the small meeting, but when he heard that Gu Che wanted it, he went with him to apply without saying a word.
I don't know if it's his luck or what, the application that usually takes two or three days to reply to was completed in just half an hour, and even the stars who can provide places in the small meeting have been contacted, and the tone is right.
At this moment, how could Xie Changming sit still, and hurriedly contacted Gu Che.
Xie Changming: [Do you want a place in the movie club before the Spring Festival? ] I have an actor with a good relationship, and he just happens to have a quota and can bring people in, do you want it? γ
Ye Ming: [How many people can you bring? γ
Xie Changming: [One quota can bring three people, but the actors themselves have to go in, so they can only bring two]
Ye Ming: [Not enough, we need at least four people on our side]
Xie Changming: [I'll help you ask again, wait for my news!] γ
Ye Ming put away his mobile phone and looked at Gu Che, "At present, the two places are in place, it depends on whether the next two places can be obtained, it is Xie Changming who gave them to you." β
Gu Che was stunned, "Xie Changming, isn't he a king-level singer, he went to film?" β
Ye Ming shook his head, "No, I will be a little impressed by any singer who makes a movie, and I can get a place in the small meeting before the Spring Festival, there is no doubt that the movie has attracted a lot of attention, and there is no Xie Changming among them, it should be that he and his friends want to come, or apply with the company." β
Ye Ming thought of one thing and asked: "The song you gave Xie Changming was called "The Story of Love Part I", and there must also be "The Story of Love Part II", right?" β
His tone was a little nervous, Xie Changming was probably coming for the next episode of songs, if not, then I'm afraid ......
Gu Che pondered for a while, "Yes, there must be, otherwise I wouldn't marry such a song title." β
"It's justβ" he changed his words, "I don't have any inspiration for "The Story of Love Part II", if Xie Changming doesn't come to ask me to create, I'm afraid I won't create it in the next few years." But if he wants me to create, it's not impossible, but. β
Ye Ming's heart was upset by him, and he itched: "Hurry up, but what?" β
Gu Che didn't sell it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "However, it may not be as popular as he imagined, keeping up with the previous episode, the next episode of the love story is a sad story, and it is not as classic as the previous episode, if it spreads, I am afraid that in terms of fame and downloads, it will not be comparable at all." β
Ye Ming pondered: "It doesn't have to be better than the previous episode, as long as it can reach the same quality as the previous episode." β
Gu Che said very dryly: "No." β
He had listened to "The Story of Love Part II" on the Earth in his dreams, and although the creation was okay, it was indeed not as amazing as the previous episode.
Ye Ming: "If it's just a little bit worse, it's not impossible." β
Gu Che said very sincerely: "I feel that there are still so many differences. β
Ye Ming: ......
Ye Ming also looked at him seriously, hoping that Gu Che was lying.
But Gu Che, as a songwriter, has a criterion for judging every song he creates.
If you can't do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it.
Ye Ming gave up.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Then expect Xie Changming to get two places, and you can make up another song for him that can become popular." β
Gu Che didn't speak, but nodded.
That's what he thinks too.
Because Xie Changming greeted him in advance, and later a singer came over to ask if he could give a place, Ye Ming refused first.
After waiting for a day, on the second day, Xie Changming brought good news again and won another place!
Two places, Gu Che added himself here, and he could bring three more people over, smiling.
Xie Changming took advantage of this to ask if he could create a song for him, specifying that he would create "The Story of Love".
I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy.
Xie Changming's thoughts, Ye Ming guessed clearly.
It was also because of this that Gu Che quickly agreed and said, "You gave me two places, and I will give you two songs!" β
Now, it was replaced by Xie Changming's stupid music.
He thought that he could only get one song, and the subsequent increase in the number of places was used by him as a favor for the designated song.
I didn't think Gu Che could buy one and get one free here!
Of course, the invitation to the song was successful, but after the song was written, how to go or how to go, the part that belonged to Gu Che would not ignore him.
Gu Che also gave the song a date: "From now until the New Year, I don't have much time, I'll sing to you in March." β
This date has greatly surprised Xie Changming's expectations, and he thought that Gu Che would take longer to compose the song.
March is not far from now, so I quickly agreed.
A week later, Gu Che took Kong Ping, Luo Mingli and director Sun Zhengxin to participate in the small meeting before the Spring Festival.
At this time, there are about 20 days left before the release of the film, and after the meeting, Gu Che and the others plan to release the trailer and start publicity.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and with Gu Che here, it can ensure that the hot spots of this film are sufficient, and it is no problem to have one or two hot searches.
In the movie meeting, Gu Che and others entered the scene first.
It is said to be a small meeting, but in fact, the interior is also very magnificent, probably because of the unusual Spring Festival stalls, so the venue is set to be more gorgeous than expected.
In the past, when I participated in various banquets, celebrities walked the red carpet.
But this movie club is different, it is the heads of major movie theaters who walk the red carpet!
Although in terms of film sales sharing, movie theaters, as a channel, can not share much profit.
But the atmosphere in the industry is good, and it will not look down on the channel side of the cinema because of this.
The producers of the content side can also praise the cinema channel, and try their best to talk about a good schedule time for their films.
