Gu Che observed the person in charge of the cinema who kept entering and listened to Director Sun's popular science.

"You see that the one who walked in front and was wearing red clothes was Director Liao, his name was Liao Chenglin, and his theater was Fanghua Cinema, which was one of the theaters we wanted to win today."

Sun Zhengxin attaches great importance to Liao Chenglin, because this is a theater specializing in science fiction films.

is also because of Fanghua Cinema, Xia Guo's sci-fi films can guarantee a certain output every year, because those investors and content makers who do sci-fi films understand that Fanghua Cinema will definitely want it, and there is no need to worry about no sales channels.

Gu Che asked: "But listening to you say this, aren't they specialized in science fiction films?" ”

Sun Zhengxin sighed, "Even if there is a channel giant like Fanghua Cinema that specializes in releasing science fiction films, the number of science fiction films is still too small, and the investment in science fiction films is very large, and dozens of science fiction films cannot be collected a year." ”

He asked rhetorically: "With such a big group and so many theaters, you can't let them repeat the classic sci-fi movies from the past, right?" ”

Sun Zhengxin shook his head, "People always have to live!" ”

"Later, Fanghua Cinema folded it, doesn't science fiction films also talk about special effects, then simply any film that uses more special effects, Fanghua Cinema will introduce it, regardless of whether the background is modern or ancient."

Sun Zhengxin specially advised: "Our film is the type of ancient myths and legends, which uses a lot of special effects shots, before I came, I specially said hello to my friends at Fanghua Cinema, knowing that Fanghua purchased our films, so Fanghua Cinema is our key target." ”

Gu Che nodded.

The next person to enter the theater was the person in charge of the theater wearing an ancient costume, which looked a bit like the Republic of China costume that was popular in Xia Guo some time ago.

Next are some theater representatives who are dressed very differently, some are dressed up in a fancy way, some are dressed in a proper manner, and some are dressed in a maverick, feeling like they are on the catwalk.

Gu Che found that what kind of clothes the person in charge of the theater wears can probably reflect the receiving style of the theater.

Sun Zhengxin's subsequent commentary also proves his point of view.

Undoubtedly, they target those who are visibly antique in their dress.

The person in charge of the theater all came in for a small meeting, and the banquet began.

It is said that it is a banquet, but it is a real banquet, and there is a lot of food at the banquet.

It is said that all the food is provided by the producer of the film's content, and the cost of holding a banquet will take the form of AA.

Which crew can come to the banquet, they must get a penny, and this money is indispensable.

The purpose of holding a small meeting is for the content producer to communicate with the film channel to win the time and number of screenings, so it is impossible for the theater to pay.

If you're part of a crew that you're in and you're invited, but don't want to pay the money, then sorry, you can't enter.

Although Gu Che and the others were not invited over in an open and honest manner, they were brought in by other actors, but they also contributed a share of money, and each of them gave a thousand yuan!

Four people, that's four thousand dollars!

It is said that this is still the price after the crew AA who brought them in.

If you don't bring them in, then this crew will participate in this small meeting, and AA will have to pay 8,000 yuan!

A banquet costs so much money, in addition to the fact that there are relatively few crews who can get invitations, it is also because of the high specifications of the banquet.

Gu Che glanced at the food at the banquet, everything was not ordinary, mostly seafood.

Oysters, abalone, shark fin, matsutake mushrooms, black truffles and more.

The specifications of this banquet are very high!

Gu Che saw that some crew members had started to talk to the person in charge of the movie theater, and he was not timid, and immediately found the target to meet him.

Originally, I wanted Sun Zheng to come here.

But Sun Zhengxin's fame is not big enough, so it can only fall on Gu Che's head.

It's true that Gu Che has never been involved in the film industry, but he is famous enough!

He saw the stitches in the crowd, got rid of the people who also wanted to find Liao Chenglin one step in advance, and stood in front of Liao Chenglin.

Liao Chenglin looked up and saw a handsome young man with a tall horse and a delicate face.

He was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Gu Che, I didn't expect you to come to this banquet too!" ”

Liao Chenglin's attitude made Gu Che incomprehensible.

He asked curiously, "Do you know who I am?" ”

Liao Chenglin said with a smile: "You are Gu Che, I'm afraid few people don't know your appearance, right?" ”

He explained: "You are a person in the entertainment industry, and the movie industry doesn't seem to have anything to do with the entertainment industry, but it is actually closely related." You are so popular in the singer circle, and you have promoted the final ranking of several popular variety shows behind the scenes, and you have collaborated with superstars on songs, and the artists you signed under your command have released records and rushed to platinum records, how can I not know you? ”

Since ancient times, there has been no separation of video and audio, singing and excellent acting, acting and excellent singing, and there are big stars.

Let's just say that many actors in the movie industry are actually transferred from traffic niches, and some of them have been trainees before!

As long as Liao Chenglin pays a little attention to the entertainment industry, he knows who the star who has been in the limelight recently, and that is definitely Gu Che!

On the contrary, Gu Che is not a well-behaved star, just an amateur ticket, and the homepage is a Cantonese opera actor, oh, maybe you can add a creative one.

Gu Che's heart was relieved, Liao Chenglin knew him, and the conversation after that should be a little easier.

Gu Che said modestly: "Director Liao praised it, there are too many stars who are better looking and more famous than me, I am just a creator, naturally everyone can't know me." ”

"Director Liao knows me, that's really a coincidence, I'm not so famous, and many people don't know me."

"Heaven Descends"

The other actors who quietly gathered around and planned to talk to Director Liao couldn't help but look at Gu Che a few more times when they heard this, then turned their heads, held back a laugh, and picked the ground with their toes.

That's right, it's fake!

He's Gu Che!

Who doesn't know his Gu Che's name?

There are too many red stars in the entertainment industry, and a lucky person will be born every day.

But Gu Che is different.

Because he is not only popular himself, but also makes others popular!

Gu Che's status in the circle is no worse than the so-called "gold master".

What a point of modesty! - The actor complained in his heart.

This is true, looking for a financier in the circle is just to be able to receive a few more TV series, movies or variety shows, just to have more exposure.

It's just that many artists will definitely become popular if they don't have a lot of exposure.

The exposure is enough, but what is lacking is good works and good reputation.

And Gu Che, he may not be rich, but he will engage in creation!

What he can give to the star is a real ladder to the sky!

Now in the circle, which singer doesn't want to sing a song created by Gu Che?

Gu Che's communication skills are okay, and he quickly led the topic to "The Legend of the White Snake".

The heads of the major theaters know what the purpose of this banquet is.

On the bright side, they are all happy to communicate with the crew about the film.

The same is true for Liao Chenglin.

Gu Che asked: "I don't know if Boss Liao can arrange more scenes and a good time period and location for the Cantonese opera movie "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

Liao Chenglin thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "I know what you mean, if I am willing to arrange it for you, you are willing to give me the profit on the film share, but I'm sorry, I can't arrange it for you." ”

He said frankly: "To be honest, I entered this film, but for the sake of special effects, the trailer and the pilot film did a good job, but I haven't really seen the content of the film, I'm not sure if it's really as good as the pilot film." ”

Movies are generally cut out in two versions, one is the trailer, which is released to the audience.

The other is the pilot film, but this one is released to the cinema channel.

The trailer is just four or five minutes long, while the teaser has half an hour.

Half an hour is enough for the cinema to judge whether the film is excellent.

As for why you can't show the whole film to the cinema, it's to prevent it from being stolen and then pirated on the Internet.

A few decades ago, cinemas could watch the whole film, but at that time, there were a few incidents of theater directors guarding and stealing, and later the industry was rectified, and there was a rule that "the pilot film can only be cut for 30 minutes".

Gu Che pondered for a while, and said with certainty: "I can use my fame as a guarantee, the content of this film is the same as the pilot film, the rhythm and special effects are exactly the same, you don't have to worry about the wrong goods." If Fanghua Cinema can give us a fixed schedule of 30 shows, choose a popular time period in the afternoon or evening, and a fixed number of shows, we can make a profit on our side! ”

On the channel fee side, Gu Che doesn't plan to spend a lot of money on publicity, so the crew doesn't need to spend 1% of the sales on marketing expenses.

Let the profit be 10%, the movie theater can get 40%, and the film can get 60%.

Liao Chenglin frowned slightly, he didn't expect Gu Che's courage to be so great, he thought about it seriously.

In his thoughts, Gu Che is here to do publicity, and they can't save the marketing fee.

After deducting the operating expenses, and giving one percent of the profits, then the film can only get fifty percent.

The profit that is let away is actually not much, but the key is that Gu Che requires few fixed lyrics, only 30 fixed performances.

There are 3 schedules a day, and it will be done in 10 days.

Liao Chenglin was a little moved at this moment.

But in the end, he still regrettably refused.

He was a businessman, and a businessman had to be profitable.

No matter how much profit you make, it can't be as profitable as a hit drama.

The Cantonese opera movie "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" is not worth his gamble.

Liao Chenglin said: "Do you know how much investment the film crew came to, what kind of director came to shoot, what kind of actors were invited, what was the lineup, and what was the number of fans brought by the actors as a whole?" ”

Liao Chenglin casually pointed to a star who was talking to others, "This is an actor, he won the 'Best Actor' last year, and this year is his first work and his first Chinese New Year film." ”

He pointed to another man with gray hair: "This is a director, do you know how many awards he has won for his exports?" Although he dominates literary films, he is an award-winning professional, and he has as many as ten awards of all sizes, including three huge awards with high gold content! ”

He casually pointed to a young and beautiful female star with a good face: "I don't know if you know this person, she has been selected by a famous director to make movies since she was 17 years old, and now she is 24 years old, but she has won the title of 'actress', and at least two movies will be released every year, although she failed to win the award, but the box office has achieved good results." ”

"And this, this, that......" Liao Chenglin shook his hand casually, and said meaningfully: "Compared with them, what advantages do you think you have?" ”

Gu Che was stunned for a moment and thought about it seriously.

He knows that Liao Chenglin is not referring to his fame, but to what advantages he has in the film industry.

After a while, Gu Che said honestly: "I don't, I'm not as good as them." ”

Liao Chenglin shook his head, "I'm telling you this, not to let you belittle yourself, I just want you to see the gap between you and them, you value "The Legend of the White Snake" very much, and think that this film is not bad, but you are too unbasic." You've just started to walk, you want to run, you want to jump, you want to jump? ”

"Profit sharing is something that only top players can do, and movie theaters are more inclined to cooperate with top players, because they are optimistic and think that they will not lose money by putting bets on them!"

"And do you think that all the crews who come here are talking to the cinema for concessions?"

Gu Che asked in surprise, "Isn't it?" ”

Liao Chenglin shook his head: "No, top players also have the pride of top players, most of the crews who come here are here to attract movie theaters to increase their film schedules by making profits, but there are also a small number of them, waiting for the price to sell, just to come over to have a fun time and watch the show." If you want them to make a profit, it's the equivalent of cutting their blood with a knife! ”

"As long as the director has confidence in the film and thinks that it can attract people by quality, then naturally there is no need to make concessions. As long as the movie is released and the attendance rate is high, the movie theater will naturally line their films in order to make more money. ”

This sentence is what Liao Chenglin wants to say to Gu Che the most.

Gu Che himself has confidence in the film, no, if the cinema has confidence in this film, then we can talk about the follow-up.

And if the movie theater is not sure of the idea, then leave it to the public to choose.

Since you have confidence in the film, presumably the public will also have confidence in the film and are willing to watch it?

Even if the early publicity is unfavorable, isn't there a later stage?

As long as the audience who comes to watch the film feels that the quality of the film is good, it will naturally spread the word of mouth and pull up the box office.

At that time, there is no need for Gu Che to make profits on behalf of the crew, and the theaters will naturally flock to the film, rushing to arrange five or six shows a day, all of which are popular time periods!

Gu Che understood the meaning and said sincerely: "Thank you for your advice!" ”

Liao Chenglin smiled and said: "Don't thank me, you have touched the wall here a few times, and you will understand this truth, I just told you in advance." ”

Next, Gu Che was not talking to other movie theater managers.

Luo Mingli on the side looked at it and asked in a low voice, "I really don't plan to try again?" ”
