"What was your original intention to make your own movies?"

Ding Shuo, who was thinking about life, suddenly slapped himself lightly on the head: "Damn, what are you moaning without illness."

As long as the movie made by himself can be worthy of the audience's 40 yuan ticket price, it will be considered a success if it does not make the audience feel that they have spent unjust money to greet their families. ”

The editing of "Time and Space" was almost completed, and Cai Yinong found Ding Shuo again and discussed with him which distribution company to find and what schedule to release.

Ding Shuo only felt that he was worried too much about this movie, rnm, add money!!

"If it is released, I will ask Xu Zheng to see if I can find Guangguang Media to distribute it."

Guangguang Media is the leading distribution company, and last year produced and released Xu Zheng's low-budget comedy "Thai Embarrassment", which grossed 1.2 billion at the box office with 30 million. When Ding Shuo was filming "Living Together in Time and Space", he got acquainted with Xu Zheng and asked if he could ask him out to inquire.

In a box of a bar in Beijing.

Xu bald his head and hugged him left and right, making the girls laugh. Ding Shuo doesn't like these, it's not that Ding Shuo pretends to be a saint, the problem is that he pays Liu Shishi and Nazha public food every day, Ding Shuo only feels calm like water now, and everyone is a pink skeleton.

But the host is as he pleases, and he can't let Xu Zheng feel embarrassed alone, and Ding Shuo can only call a girl to accompany him. The girl is singing on the side, and Ding Shuo is eating a fruit plate next to her.

Sister: "Big brother, you can touch it for a while, you can touch it anywhere, my voice is going to be hoarse." ”

Ding Shuo: "......"

Seeing that Xu Zheng was almost having fun, Ding Shuo gave Xu Zheng a glass of wine and asked, "Brother Xu, I want to ask you about something, you see that "Time and Space" has also been filmed, which company should we find to release it." ”

Xu Zheng: "Brother, brother doesn't go around in circles with you." If you want to say that you are looking for light distribution, the distribution ability is really strong, but the store is a big bully, and the proportion of the share you want will not be less. Besides, you are not the only one who finds the light to release the film, and the resources he invests in you will also be shared. ”

"Please also ask my brother to give me some advice." Ding Shuo toasted Xu Zheng with another glass of wine.

"I think you might as well find Yinglian Media, this company was just established last year, and it has a big history, and I heard that they are engaged in a new distribution model. I have the contact information of one of their managers, I'll send it to you later, you can try it out. ”

Xu Zheng also has his own abacus, and recommends light to Ding Shuo, the light will not give him any benefit, it is better to let Ding Shuo owe himself personal favors. The most important thing is that he also has a film released this year, so let Ding Shuo try a new distribution model first, if Ding Shuo succeeds, he can also go to the film association media for distribution.

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Ding Shuo came out of the box, alas, this feeling of begging people to do things is really uncomfortable. No way, the adult world can't always be smooth sailing.

……

Ding Shuo and Xu Zheng went home after socializing, and Liu Shishi also noticed the depressed mood coming from his boyfriend, but he didn't ask anything, and he didn't say anything comforting.

It's just that the tsundere energy that is usually with Ding Shuo in private has been gone, and he gently helps Ding Shuo serve meals, massages, and gently holds Ding Shuo in his arms.

Ding Shuo, who woke up the next day, swept away his loss and was full of passion to do something big.

"How are you?" After Liu Shishi woke up, he saw Ding Shuo who was smiling and asked.

"I'm fine."

"I don't know who wilted last night."

"Okay, dare to say I'm wilted, let you see how hard I am."

As the saying goes: the plan of the day is in the morning. Our ancestors taught us that married life should begin in the morning.

……

Ding Shuo made an appointment with the manager of Yinglian Media and came to the building of Yinglian Media. Ding Shuo also asked someone about the background of the film association media, the full name is Capital Convergence Film Association Culture Media Co., Ltd., which participated in the distribution of 5 films just after its establishment last year, all of which are imported films, which is enough to see its strength.

Film Association Media is also in urgent need of releasing a domestic hit film to prove the distribution strength of its domestic films.

But this must be based on the good quality of the films brought by Ding Shuo, otherwise you will go back from where you came from.

The film association media sent someone to watch "Living Together in Time and Space", and they were obviously satisfied with the quality of the film. The person in charge of the film association media is surnamed Wang.

Manager Wang: "We are satisfied with the quality of the film, and promise to help you distribute it, and only charge you 10% of the distribution agency fee." But we have a new model for releasing films, and it's up to you to accept it. ”

"Oh? You say. ”

"We can start with some theaters and attract audiences with the reputation of the film's quality. In addition, the Maoyan ticketing platform has an agreement with us, and we are responsible for the distribution of movies, they can make up 10 yuan per ticket, and you will make up the rest. This can attract a large number of viewers to watch the movie, and it is also a new marketing method, I don't know if you can accept it. ”

Ding Shuo's receptivity is still very strong, and there is no concept of screening and ticket compensation yet. There is a cheap and not a bastard. A 40 yuan movie and a nine-dollar movie, fools know how to choose.

"Yes, but I'm going to discuss it with Mr. Cai of the Tang people when I go back, after all, they also have investment."

"Of course you can, but as soon as possible, we strive to release it on May Day, this May Day movie without good quality is an excellent time."

"Okay."

……

Ding Shuo returned to the Tang people non-stop and found Cai Yinong to discuss the matter. Cai Yinong thinks that it is okay to find a distribution company normally, so why bother so much. Besides, the production cost is only 30 million, and now I have to take out 20 million to make up for the ticket. What to do in case of loss.

After several rounds of bargaining, Cai Yinong still didn't agree to pay for the ticket. Ding Shuo could only pay 20 million by himself, and reached the following agreement with the Tang people: the production cost is 30 million, and the ticket is 20 million. Tang Ren invested a total of 20 million, and Ding Shuo invested 30 million. The final box office share is divided according to the proportion of investment.

Although the Tang people said that the two-thirds share ratio became two-fifths, the cake was made bigger, and the risk did not increase, and before the final box office results came out, the Tang people thought that they had taken advantage.

I just don't know how much the Tang people will regret it if the film hits the box office.

In the next few days, Ding Shuo emptied his bitcoin account and mortgaged his house to make up enough for the 20 million.

Then he hired a lawyer throughout the process, found a headhunter, bought a shell company, changed the legal person and company name, and signed a series of contracts with Tang Ren and Yinglian Media in the name of the company. Companies pay much less tax than individuals.

At the signing ceremony, all three parties were satisfied. Manager Wang of Film Alliance Media took the initiative to shake hands with Ding Shuo: "Brother Ding Shuo is really young and promising, and he has courage, and our Film Association Media will not let you down." In the future, if you have a good script, you can come to us, we are not only responsible for distribution, we also have investment and production business. To you, brother, we must have a green light all the way. ”

Cai Yinong's face on the side darkened, and he also recruited Ding Shuo many times.

But Ding Shuo felt that not to mention that the Tang people had no right to speak in the film field at all, Ding Shuo couldn't accept the rigidity and conservatism that the Tang people showed before.

What's more, if you can be your own boss, why do you have to work for others. When Liu Shishi and Nazha arrived at the contract with the Tang people, wouldn't it be beautiful for me to sign them directly?
