Screening in advance!

This sentence made Jiang Yu and Li Guan look shocked.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xu, are you serious?" ”

"If you release it in advance, your company's losses will be great."

The main source of income for a movie is the box office, and others, such as online broadcast rights, disc recording rights, peripheral copyrights, etc., are just icing on the cake.

At present, the box office of the movie "Sunny Riverside" has exceeded 100 million, and if it continues to be released, the box office has a certain probability of reaching 200 million.

Summit Film and Television can almost get about tens of millions of box office revenue from it.

Released in advance, it is tantamount to taking the initiative to give up the tens of millions of box office revenue

As long as you are a person in your right mind, you will not do this.

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, as long as you are willing to increase the purchase price of the online broadcast right, our company can release it in advance." ”

Jiang Yu and Li Guan couldn't help but glance at each other.

Xu Nan's operation made them completely incomprehensible.

However, if Xu Nan really does this, it will be very beneficial to the video platform.

The main purpose of acquiring popular movies on video platforms is to attract audiences to recharge members on the platform and become users of the platform.

The popularity of the movie "Sunny Riverside" is high, and if it can be put on the video platform now, it will definitely be able to attract a large wave of audiences.

On the contrary, if it is broadcast on the platform after the screening, although it can also attract a wave of audiences, it will definitely not attract as many viewers as the online video platform now.

But this is the first time that the managers of the two video platforms have met.

There has never been a movie that has ever been willing to be released in advance.

A small number of movies that were released in advance also encountered force majeure and were forced to do so.

Like Xu Nan, it is clear that the popularity of the movie is still very high, but in order to get more income from online broadcasting rights, he has never chosen to release it in advance.

Jiang Yu quickly went through the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, and then he said solemnly.

"There is no precedent for this kind of thing, I need to go back and discuss it with my superiors."

Li Guan also said: "I also need to go back and think about it." ”

Xu Nan smiled: "No problem, this kind of thing really needs to be considered,"

"But I want to say that the higher the price you offer, the sooner I will release it, and if I can be satisfied, it will be no problem to release it tomorrow."

The expressions of the managers of the two video platforms changed, and then they quickly said goodbye and left.

They can't make decisions about this kind of big thing, and they need to go back and report to their superiors.

Even superiors may not be able to make decisions, and may have to hold a meeting to consider it.

After sending off the managers of the two video platforms, Liu Yang couldn't help it.

"Mr. Xu, why do you want to release it in advance, is it just to increase the income of online broadcasting rights? Isn't it like picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon? ”

Xu Nan asked rhetorically: "How much do you think the total box office of our movie can reach?" ”

"The general box office rule of movies is to multiply the box office in the first week by three, and according to this formula, I think our company's movie box office can have more than 200 million."

Xu Nan immediately smiled: "You really dare to think about it, to tell you the truth, according to my calculations, the limit of our company's movie box office is 150 million, and the probability is about 130 million." ”

Liu Yang shook his head decisively: "Impossible, the box office of our movie can't be so low." ”

Xu Nan didn't want his movie to be so low at the box office, but this has been verified by countless facts.

The box office of a normal movie is the box office of the first week multiplied by three, and the box office of fan movies is half or even more than half of the box office of the first week.

And the box office of marketing movies accounted for 90% in the first three days.

What is a marketing movie, it is the kind that blows up the sky before it is released, and finds out that it is a bad movie after the release.

This kind of movie is a one-shot deal, and as many audiences as you can deceive into entering the movie, you can deceive as many viewers into the cinema, and you can cut it all you can with leeks.

Unfortunately, "Sunny Riverside" is a marketing movie, and there is nothing worth watching except for a novelty.

The current movie box office can reach more than 100 million, and Xu Nandu thinks it is a miracle.

It can only be said that the audience in this world is still relatively tolerant, and this kind of movie can make money.

But the audience is willing to watch his movies because of the popularity of the movies.

When the popularity of the movie passes, no one will come to see it.

Therefore, Xu Nan wants to sell the movie at a good price while the popularity is still there.

If the heat really dissipates and the bottoms are exposed, then the movie won't sell at a price.

"Liu Yang, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the important thing is that the company has no money now, and it will take at least half a year to wait for the return of the movie box office."

"If we release the film in advance and sell the online broadcast rights, we will have money to make new movies and make more money."

Liu Yang sighed: "Okay, you are the boss." ”

He really hopes that the movie will continue to be released.

Every time the box office of "The Riverside on the River" increases a little, his resume shines a little.

It's a pity that Mr. Xu is unwilling.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, the court notified us before, saying that let's go over and accept mediation, and if the mediation fails, we will prepare for a trial." Liu Yang said suddenly.

"When?" Xu Nan asked.

"The day after tomorrow."

"So fast?"

Xu Nan was a little surprised.

According to the normal law, from prosecution to mediation to court hearing, it is impossible to solve it in one or two months.

I didn't expect the case about him to be handled so quickly.

But it doesn't matter, he has long been mentally prepared for this matter.

Anyway, he didn't plagiarize Zhang Yange's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", and he was not afraid of lawsuits.

......

Two days later, Xu Nan came to the court for mediation.

The producers of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" sent a working woman in her thirties, wearing professional attire, with slightly thin lips.

She said solemnly: ".... According to estimates, the producer of the movie "Sunny Riverside Picture" has caused us an economic loss of about 100 million yuan, and at the same time, it has also infringed on our company's reputation rights and caused a strong mental blow to the relevant personnel. ”

"To sum up, I propose 50 million compensation to Summit Film and Television, and at the same time, the film must be sealed, and director Xu Nan needs to apologize in public on Weibo."

Xu Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Fifty million compensation, I dare to think.

He may not make 50 million in movies, and he will pay you 50 million.

I really think of him as a novice who doesn't understand the law, thinking that I can scare him by relying on this.

The mediator said: "So, what about Summit Film and Television." ”

Xu Nan said in a deep voice: "I refuse to apologize and refuse to accept compensation." ”

The mediator said, "Sure." ”

"Sure."

"Okay, if the mediation fails, you go back and prepare the materials, prepare for the trial, and we will notify you when the time comes."
