Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Advantage Is Me

The slowest time in the world is going to work.

The fastest time in the world is the holidays.

The Spring Festival holiday passed in a flash, almost in an instant.

As a student, Zheng Yi's winter vacation is about half a month.

But as a director, his vacation is over!

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I rushed to the black cat video and stared at the post-editing.

You also have to check the samples sent by the special effects company and make adjustments after confirming that they are correct.

The soundtrack also has to be stared at, a whole lot of things.

There are so many things to do in a feature film, far more troublesome than a short film.

From morning to night, I often forget to eat.

"Director Zheng, eat." Sitting in the lounge, Zhang Yue ordered him a meal.

After opening it, looking at the box full of green leaves, Zheng Yi suddenly fell into deep thought.

"It's ...... What about feeding the rabbits? ”

"How do you speak, this is called a healthy meal, you know, it's very expensive." Zhang Yue seemed to be looking at a turtle.

"This box gets 128."

Zheng Yi silently put down the lunch box, took out his mobile phone, ordered a chicken leg rice for himself, and added a plum cabbage button meat.

Altogether 32.

"Women's money is so good." He sighed.

"Zheng Yi, the effect of the special effects company is okay, right?" Chen Yanan asked while eating.

It's really tiring to talk about work during meal time.

Turning the lunch box around, avoiding Zhang Yue's aggressive eyes on his big chicken leg on the side, Zheng Yi nodded.

"It works well."

"And it's pretty efficient."

"Well, this is a special effects company and a branch of a large overseas company, and the price is expensive, but as long as the effect is good, it is worth it."

Special effects, you still have to rely on overseas companies...... Zheng Yi didn't say much, but he always felt a little lost.

Magic Art also has a special effects production major.

Not only the four famous schools, but also many second-rate schools also have special effects majors, after all, the current Chinese entertainment market is very developed, and there is a great demand for film and television special effects.

However, these large companies still give priority to overseas special effects companies when shooting films.

If you don't need your own people, how can this industry develop?

"By the way, Blue Sky Video has begun to promote the new film, and the momentum is huge." Chen Yanan frowned.

"As far as I know, their film investment amount is also about 25 million, which is about the same as ours."

"But they chose actress Qin Wen as the protagonist."

"This has recently appeared in several variety shows, and he has also played supporting roles in many popular dramas before, and he is very popular."

"I guess they will use the Qin Wen Center to promote it to gain more popularity."

Zheng Yi thought to himself, another one who wants to use the popularity of stars to enhance the audience base of the film.

Blue Sky should know that we didn't use any big stars.

"Then our propaganda will say that the original cast of "Psycho" is back!"

The heroes and heroines of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" are indeed the actors in the last "Psycho".

Zheng Yi smiled: "It's exactly what I want!" ”

The pre-publicity of the film is like the death gaze of two martial arts masters before the official move.

Whoever blinks first loses...... Oh no, whoever is weak loses.

Because of the defeat of the last short film, of course, Blue Sky manager Zhu Ke did not admit that it was a defeat, he said that it was another victory.

So this time the propaganda work of Blue Sky is simply overwhelming.

Weibo, forums, Douyin, film review network......

Spend a lot of money!

Online movies are not like theatrical movies, which often cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in publicity and distribution.

Originally, the platform was able to promote itself, and most of the audience sources were VIP users of the platform itself.

After all, the lower the cost, the higher the benefit.

But the blue sky is different at this time!

All they want is to know everything!

As the No. 1 video platform in China, Blue Sky's goal is to make himself unbeatable on the Huaxia Horror Channel with this online horror movie!

Due to the emergence of tree people, the Chinese horror market is obviously rising rapidly.

Not only novels, but also film and television and even other industries will quickly follow up, and whoever wins the initiative will get the most cake and eat a mouthful of oil.

Therefore, Blue Sky Film and Television spent nearly 10 million yuan on publicity and distribution this time to promote this new horror film "Blood Room" on the whole platform.

The female Qin Wen has 2000W followers on Weibo and is a popular flower.

As soon as the news of her participation in the horror film was launched, it immediately became a hot search.

Coupled with makeup photos and promotional posters, her fans went straight into a frenzy.

"This female ghost is also too beautiful!"

"I want to rush!"

"Even the ghost you rushed?"

"The boundary between life and death should not be so dead."

"For Qin Wen, I also have to spend 5 yuan to watch a wave."

……

The heat is slowly rising.

As Chen Yanan expected, all the publicity of Blue Sky Video is centered on Qin Wen.

In a short period of time, the number of reservations for "Blood Room" exceeded 8 million.

Of course, reservations are just reservations, and movies are paid to watch, and it is not yet known how many people will pay in the end.

But according to the previous data of Blue Sky Video, the ratio of booking and payment is basically around 1:10.

"Mr. Parra, the booking results are very good, and at the current rate of booking growth, the number of first-day viewers should exceed 1 million."

"It should take one to two weeks to pay for yourself."

At this time, the two of Pala masters and apprentices no longer had the arrogant attitude they had when they first came to China, and they looked very serious.

After the baptism of "Psycho", both of them know very well that Huaxia is not a place where they can run rampant at will.

The arrogance of the two has long been lost by the tree people.

"Mr. Parra, do I want to be bold in my propaganda this time, just say that the strongest horror movie is coming?"

"No, no, no......" Parra's head shook like a rattle.

The last publicity was very bold, saying that a new era of horror films was coming, and then it was ......

Para thought about it for a while, only to feel that the tree man was carrying a solid steel pipe with the three big characters "Psycho" written on it, and dragged it in front of him, and said.

"Your name is Pala?"

"I heard you've been pretty rampant lately!"

Then, there is no then.

The tree man taught him and his apprentices, and when they came to the land of Huaxia, you have to coil on the dragon, and you have to lie down on the tiger.

Otherwise, a young man will jump out and beat you to the point where you can't take care of yourself.

The current Pala and Sha Chu are quite well-behaved.

When you come to China, you have to bring home some psychological shadows.

"Manager Zhu, I think normal publicity is good."

"Okay, it's okay if you like to be steady." Zhu Ke is different from these two, and he is full of confidence: "By the way, Mr. Parra, what do you think are the chances of winning against the black cat video this time?" ”

Pa stretched out a hand: "Five or five at most." ”

"So unconfident?"

Para shook her head, it wasn't a matter of faith, he really didn't know what else the Treant would come up with.

"Manager Zhu, the data over there in the black cat." The assistant handed over the tablet.

Zhu Ke glanced at it, and then smiled.

"The propaganda on the Black Cat's side is far from ours."

"Their slogan is ......"

"The original cast of "Psycho" is back."

Hearing this, Para's face softened slightly.

The original cast, that means it will continue the style of "Psycho"?

Whew, Para breathed a sigh of relief.

"Psycho" is very good, but it is also a bonus of new themes and new modes.

If the tree man only expands the content and style of "Psycho" into a movie this time, the dividend will be weakened, and his chances of winning will be greater.

Yes, no matter how talented the tree man is, it is impossible to come up with a new model of horror movies in a short period of time.

"Hahaha......" Manager Zhu Ke suddenly laughed, causing Para to look sideways.

"Black Cat Video's new title is 'Death is Coming'."

"What a dirty name, it's not artistic at all."

"And they're promoting it almost at the same time as us, and they're only 2 million bookings so far."

"It's great to have Qin Wen starring in this trick, this girl's popularity is bursting!"

"The Grim Reaper is Coming"?

Parra, on the side, became interested in the title.

"Pala Sensei, Pala Sensei ......"

"Ah, what's the matter?" For a moment, Para lost her mind.

"Teacher Parra, why are you still worried?" Zhu Ke looked helpless.

"The defeat last time was a small matter, but after all, the short film is free, and the movie has to be charged."

"The consumption power of our blue sky video members is already stronger than that of black cats."

"There is such a big gap in bookings now."

"8 million against 2 million, the advantage is mine!" Zhu Ke is full of confidence.

But Para shook her head.

There was always some bad premonition in his heart......
