The reason why Yin Sabeth is excited is not because of how good this animated film is, or not only because of this.

After watching the movie, his sensitive business sense told him that the animated film was likely to explode at the box office.

And more importantly, this animated film is obviously not produced by a major film and television company.

Even they didn't know why, but they actually found Martin, the second son of the notorious Pache family, to talk about cooperation.

Most of the people in charge of the theater chain estimate that just seeing Martin, they basically won't think about watching this movie.

It was just because he was idle that he happened to watch this "Dream Travel".

In the end, it was found that although it was endorsed by Martin, an unreliable loser, the film itself is definitely a high-quality work in terms of production, script, etc.

Even Yin Sabeth already felt at this time that if nothing else, the film could compete for Best Animated Feature at this year's American College Awards.

The Academy Award is the highest award in the film industry here in the United States, and there are few other awards that can be compared.

The most influential award is enough to prove how optimistic he is about this movie.

And this animated film, the follow-up box office will definitely be able to rely on word-of-mouth to slowly rise.

But in the early stage, other theaters didn't schedule films, and they didn't even react.

Their cinema chain can completely play this time difference, don't look at the first few days are not long, but it is definitely a golden period.

The benefits that can be brought to their theaters are also huge.

This is the main reason why Yin Sabeth is so excited at this time.

......

"But the manager, the producer of this animated film, doesn't seem to want to spend money on publicity."

The subordinate hesitated for a while, but still spoke.

Although there are still many theatrical movies that rely on word-of-mouth counterattack in the United States, at present, most producers have invested a lot in publicity and distribution.

And now, although the final movie release time has been determined, the producers of this "Dream Travel" have not yet started to promote.

"I guess I don't have much money."

"It can be seen that the production of this animated film is estimated to cost a lot, and it is normal for small companies to have no money for follow-up publicity."

Yin Sabeth replied.

This is not too surprising.

"Let our theaters put out the promotional posters of this movie in advance when the time comes."

"The promotional resources in the theater are also slightly skewed."

That's all he can do.

It is definitely impossible to ask the theater company to post money to promote something.

In this regard, Yin Sabeth herself has no good solution.

Of course, what he may not know is that in China, far away on the other side of the ocean, it is indeed such a company.

It's not a matter of lack of money at all, but that there is no plan to spend a lot of money on publicity.

It's already a habit.

Even if it was on the American side, a new animation company was acquired.

However, the management sent by You Man still adheres to this concept.

......

The entire crew of "Operation Red Sea" finally began to prepare for returning home.

The film's role abroad has been filmed very differently.

In the last few days, I have basically been making up some shots, and there are basically no major problems.

Of course, Xu Ji received a message from Hu Lan, asking him to attend the director's meeting of this tribute film.

But after hearing Xu Ji say that he couldn't come back for the time being, he also said that it didn't matter if Xu Ji didn't come to participate.

Because this meeting is actually mainly about the follow-up arrangement of the distribution of film release time.

But in terms of the filming schedule of "Operation Red Sea", which is far ahead of the shooting schedule, there is basically no conflict with other films in this regard.

Xu Ji actually didn't expect that because of this, he did have a lot less trouble.

Because at this time in the capital, because of the problem of the distribution of the release time, several directors are not at all like the previous side of the relationship, so they almost fight.

......

"I said it all, I will definitely be able to complete this movie during the National Day schedule."

In the conference room, Zang Sheng said directly.

The expression on the face is not good.

put on a non-negotiable attitude on this point.

"Director Zang, what you said is like whose movie was not completed in the National Day file?"

"I also want to release it on National Day."

Ruan Chong, the official director, didn't intend to give the other party any face, and also said.

As one of the top three super-first-line directors, Zang Sheng's prestige in the film industry is actually very high.

It's definitely the existence of a big elder.

Of course, in this tribute film, his identity is actually not so advantageous.

Because among the five directors, four are super first-line directors.

In fact, everyone has their own fixed resources and circles, even if there is a gap with Zang Sheng, it will not be so big.

It's okay to be polite in normal times, and naturally it won't be such a simple concession at this time.

The only one who is not a super first-line director is Ruan Chong, but he is the official director.

is not afraid of Zang Sheng, although the official director is also a person in the entertainment industry, the two are not the same track at all.

Basically, there will be nothing to ask for Zang Sheng.

Even about some official projects, Zang Sheng still has to look at Ruan Chong's face.

The only one who performed more firmly on the scene was still Wang Huilan.

She didn't plan to compete with others for the National Day schedule this time.

silently put his movie to be released in December.

While there is no conflict with several other directors, it also gives a lot of time for film shooting and production.

Mainly because her own directing style is actually still the style of picking out details and being delicate.

Most of the ink and ink in the movies made are spent on the shaping of the characters, which is an advantage.

So there's no need to give up your own advantages and compete with a few other people for a popular schedule.

"I think that since everyone wants to release it on the National Day, it's better to just be together, just see the real chapter in the work."

Deng Shengxing also spoke at this time.

After he finished speaking, he was approved by several people present.

Several people turned to look at Hu Lan.

Hu Lan felt a headache at this time.

He wanted to do the same.

But obviously, because there are box office requirements for each movie, it is obviously not a wise idea to release at the same time and compete for the audience together.

"I've said that before."

"It's impossible, let's think about how to allocate the specific release time."

After Hu Lan's words were finished, Deng Shengxing also spread his hands helplessly.

"Otherwise, everyone wants to be released on the National Day, just because of box office considerations."

"In this case, it is logical that the movies released on the National Day will naturally need to take on more box office tasks."

"It's better to redistribute the overall box office target of 5 billion and choose by yourself."

Ruan Chong, the official director, said directly.

In fact, he himself doesn't care when his movie is released.

I don't care too much about being able to complete the target box office this time.

He is the official director himself, even if he can't finish it, the follow-up will be criticized from above at most.

But other directors are different, they need to have a good cooperation with the official side to maintain the relationship.

In the future, other aspects, such as audits, can be more convenient.

But if you directly let go of the National Day file, the movie schedule with the largest number of viewers, you feel a little uncomfortable.

That's why I came up with such a proposal.

"I think that's a good idea."

"I'm for it!"

Wang Huilan saw that several people had been fighting for so long, and the meeting had been going on for so long, and she also hoped that it would end as soon as possible.

After all, the movies of several people have already started filming, and there is not so much time to waste on this matter.

Zang Sheng's face was not very good-looking at this time.

He really wants the National Day file, but he doesn't want to burden himself for no reason.

"I think it makes a lot of sense, too."

"How about this, my movie will be released on National Day, and at the box office, I will personally bear the box office target of 1.5 billion."

It was Deng Shengxing who took the lead in speaking at this time.

"Hehe, 1.5 billion, Director Deng is too unconfident in himself, right?"

Zang Sheng followed and said.

Deng Shengxing smiled, he hoped that the other party could say such a thing.

"Director Zang, why don't you come?"

"You are so famous, and the task allocation is two billion, so I have no opinion."

Hearing this, Wang Huilan and Ruan Chong also hurriedly agreed.

"I'm okay with that."

"I'm okay with that!"

Zang Sheng didn't expect that a few people would dare to wait for him here.

This Deng Shengxing obviously said that deliberately just now.

Deliberately set him up.

Hu Lan didn't want the few people to continue arguing at this time.

It's endless.

"That's it, whoever wants the National Day file to be released will take away the box office target of 2 billion."

This time it was Zang Sheng's turn and he didn't know what to say.

"For the other four directors, the box office task will be reduced to 800 million."

"That's it."

After Zang Sheng thought about it, he still said: "Two billion is two billion." ”

"I'm fine."

Seeing that Zang Sheng was relieved, others had no opinion, but Hu Lan was relieved.

"By the way, Director Xu's words, it should be released on August 1st, right?"

"His schedule is also good, shouldn't he have more box office indicators?"

Even if Xu Ji didn't come, Deng Shengxing at this time did not forget the other party.

Because the two of them were released on New Year's Day at the same time, he was beaten by Xu Ji, and this feud has not been forgotten until now.

However, Hu Lan just glanced at him vigorously, and then said:

"If you can guarantee that your movie will be released on August 1st, I can ask Director Xu to give you this schedule."

"I don't think he'll have a problem."

Forget about the others, Hu Lan actually doesn't have a special impression of a few people.

It's just that a few people were selected for the official tribute film mission this time.

But Xu Ji is different.

Since the filming of "Soldier Assault", Hu Lan has regarded Xu Ji as half of his own.

It's nothing for a few people to fight around, but suddenly mentioning Xu Ji, really when he doesn't exist?

After Deng Shengxing heard the other party's words, he didn't speak again.

On the contrary, Zang Sheng seemed to be thinking about something at this time.

took the initiative to say: "Actually, it's not necessarily, those who can work harder." ”

"Director Xu may have confidence in his films?"

"Shall we ask?"

Hu Lan didn't expect Zang Sheng to suddenly put forward such an idea.

And it does sound reasonable, nothing is wrong.

"It's just so that everyone is here, so let's just do it now."

"Minister Hu, you should have Director Xu's contact information, right?"

Hu Lan frowned, but still spoke: "He is abroad, and he has a time difference, so he may not necessarily take movies." ”

As she spoke, Hu Lan still took out her mobile phone and dialed Xu Ji's number.

......

The mobile phone rang twice, and Xu Ji's voice came out.

"Hey, Minister Hu?"

Hearing Xu Ji's words, Hu Lan was not very happy.

"Director Xu, we are in a meeting now......"

Hu Lan briefly introduced the current situation.

It is the aspect of distributing the box office according to the schedule.

At the same time, he also said what Deng Shengxing said just now, which made his box office indicators more than others.

He then asked Xu what he thought of the proposal.

Of course, although Hu Lan didn't say it explicitly, he also reminded Xu Ji that he had the right to refuse.

After all, no one wants to suddenly have more pressure at the box office.

Sometimes a box office of one or two hundred million doesn't sound like much, but it's not so easy to achieve.

Xu Ji didn't seem to wake up yet, first yawned, and then spoke:

"That's why you've been arguing for so long?"

"There's no need!"

When Xu Ji said this, everyone present was stunned, including Hu Lan.

I didn't understand what Xu Ji was trying to say.

Obviously, his own hints to the other party are a little different from what he thinks.

"That's it, I'll divide three billion first."

"You can make up the rest, don't be so stressed."

Xu Ji's words came out, and the conference room fell into an eerie silence.

Hu Lan asked a little incredulously: "How ...... How much? ”

Xu Ji repeated again: "Three billion." ”

"It should be about the same, if it is more, I may not be so sure."

Xu Ji didn't actually talk nonsense.

After all, the box office of "Operation Red Sea" in the last life also exceeded 3 billion.

On the Blue Star side, the market for movies is much better, and the highest box office records have reached 7 billion, and 3 billion is really not too difficult.

After all, only Xu Ji knows that this movie has already undergone a market test.

But other people don't know, including Hu Lan, the other directors in the conference room at this time basically have only one feeling about Xu Ji's words.

That's madness, it's crazy.

It's a completely relaxed and freehand attitude, just say that you don't need to fight, I'll divide three billion by myself first, you don't have to be pressured, just pat it casually.

Hu Lan couldn't help but be a little helpless at this time, he didn't expect Xu Ji to say this.

"Xu Ji, don't be kidding."

Hu Lan still wanted to save something, but Xu Ji's voice on the other end of the phone came again.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

"Anyway, my movie should be the first to be released, maybe I will complete the goal of 5 billion at one time?"

The directors in the conference room who were going to say something didn't know how to say anything at all.

They all felt that Xu Ji was probably crazy, or he was really young and vigorous, and he didn't plan to give them face at all.

Of course, Xu Ji naturally thinks the same way.

He clearly remembered that Deng Shengxing and Zang Sheng, who were old-timers educating people, didn't look very good at him.

For such a person, Xu Ji naturally didn't intend to give the other party any face.

And he also figured it out, in fact, sometimes, it's nothing to be crazy.

Lest they be too modest, these people really think that they are not confident enough.

"Don't talk nonsense, so be it, we'll talk about it when you return home in two days."

Hu Lan naturally couldn't agree to Xu Ji messing around like this.

However, although he didn't know where Xu Qi's confidence came from, his mood was unexpectedly a little comfortable at this time.

After all, a few people quarreled for a long time just now, but they didn't want to score more box office indicators.

Now Xu Ji came up directly and promised 3 billion first, which is indeed a slap in the face of several super first-line directors.
