Chapter 486: A Thought of Heaven

It's a pity that Wu Yuan was disappointed.

The film plan of the Happy Twist team is not the "Charlotte Troubles" he imagined, but a book called "One Thought of Heaven".

This book was born very early.,Screenwriter Fan Wei is a very young screenwriter.,By chance, I met Yu Kai, the co-founder of Happy Twist.,And then I collided with this book.。

But again, Happy Twist has no channels in the circle, and it has no ability to make a theatrical movie.

In fact, before finding Wu Yuan, Zhang Chen tried to form a game by himself.

It did make him famous, and several film and television companies are willing to invest in this movie, but the premise is that Happy Twist can only be used as a production team.

In other words, this movie can be filmed by them, but the investment, and the follow-up publicity and distribution operations all need to be handed over to other film and television companies.

It is equivalent to the biggest benefit to be taken away by the film and television company, and in addition to being able to get fame, Happy Twist can only get a very low remuneration.

Of course, this also has advantages, that is, Happy Twist does not have to worry about bearing any losses, because they do not need to pay in terms of funding, and they can get the remuneration belonging to the creative team if they shoot well.

Such conditions are already a good thing for those rookie directors who can't afford to make movies at all.

Most of the new directors who start to make one or two movies are like this, looking for wronged investors, investors pay to take all risks, directors come up with scripts and techniques, and assemble crews to make movies.

In the end, after the movie is released, no matter whether it loses or earns, the benefits and disadvantages are borne by the employer.

This is also the reason why the circle has liked coal bosses for the past two years.

Just because the coal boss is the least funder, gives the most benefits, and can delegate the most power.

If you can talk about such good conditions, you will definitely agree to it.

But the happy twist is different here.

What Happy Twist wants is to transform into a film and television entertainment company, not just to make movies.

They are bound to have to invest in their own films.

And if you want to invest on your own, go it alone, and do capital upstream, it is not an easy thing.

If there is no other choice, then Happy Twist may be entangled for a year or two, and finally find a few film and television companies to cooperate, purely as a coolie, it is regarded as paying the admission ticket, and squeeze into this circle first.

But there's no second option.

Zhang Chen immediately told Wu Yuan the story outline of "One Thought of Heaven" briefly, and he was not afraid of what he would plagiarize.

It's not worth it.

After listening to Zhang Chen's introduction, Wu Yuan also recalled this movie in his mind.

can't blame him for his poor memory ability, it is really "One Thought of Heaven" is the most inconspicuous movie made by Happy Twist.

This movie is actually the second big-screen film of the Happy Twist team, and it will be released after "Charlotte's Troubles".

But in fact, this movie started filming much earlier than "Charlotte's Troubles", and it is the first time that the Happy Twist team has really produced a movie.

It was also during the production of this movie that the Happy Twist team learned the transformation from drama to movie, learned how to make a feature film, and paid admission tickets to mainland film and television companies, which led to the popular dark horse "Charlotte's Troubles".

"Sounds pretty good, it's dark humor." Wu Yuan opened his mouth to comment.

The movie "One Thought of Heaven", in Wu Yuan's impression, seems to have not made much splash after its release, but it does not mean that this movie is not good.

In fact, in the field of satirical comedy, this movie is still very good.

Internet deception Internet celebrities love and kill each other, and scammers partner each other to pit teammates.

Compared with the dense jokes in "Charlotte's Troubles", "A Thought of Heaven" is not a pure reversal of the funny, but a reflection of reality and an experience that brings tears to laughter.

This movie uses comedy to show the real life of the little people, which is very dark humorous and tragic.

As we all know, the core of comedy is tragedy.

When a comedy movie can have tragic overtones and make the audience feel it, then the comedy movie will not be bad.

It's just that the strength of the film and television company that cooperated with Happy Twist in the movie "One Thought of Heaven" is not good, and there is almost no investment in the release of this movie, and it is scheduled to be released on New Year's Eve, which makes this movie a New Year's Eve cannon fodder.

If it is replaced by the era of light and shadow to do the publicity and distribution work, this movie may not be able to have a good box office performance.

After all, the Shen Ma combination is indeed a bit invincible in the field of comedy.

"30% of the shares, I want it." Wu Yuan said decisively: "This movie also sounds good, and the era of light and shadow can undertake the work of publicity and distribution." ”

When a movie is to be released, it is divided into two parts: production and distribution.

Happy Twist only pursues its own production, and they can't do it themselves in terms of distribution, they don't have any distribution channels at all, and they don't plan to be their own distribution company.

The era of light and shadow is different, relying on the development of the cinema brand in the era of light and shadow, Li Xiaoping has also made efforts in the field of film distribution in recent years and established her own distribution team.

In the current era of light and shadow, it is already a film company that integrates production, production, publicity and distribution, and belongs to the first echelon of private film enterprises in the mainland together with Bona and Guangguang.

Not only for its own company, Light and Shadow Times has also undertaken the distribution of films produced by other independent films and small and medium-sized film and television companies over the years.

It's good to do distribution, no matter how much the box office of the movie is, about 12% of the box office will be taken away from the box office as a distribution fee, which can be called a drought and flood guarantee.

After the release of many movies, there are often situations where the producer cannot recover the cost, but the distribution makes a lot of money.

"It's for the best." Zhang Chen nodded with a smile.

He wants to introduce Wu Yuan's strategic investment, of course, he values the publicity and distribution ability of the light and shadow era, and they can overcome the work of making movies by themselves, but the distribution channels and theater connections, this thing is really not something that can be had with hard work.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation?" Zhang Chen asked worriedly.

"Of course." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "I hope we have a happy cooperation." ”

Are you kidding.

Happy Twist took the initiative to come to the door to ask for cooperation, and also agreed to let him inject capital, this kind of good thing Wu Yuan can let go?

"If nothing else, the heroes and heroines of this "One Thought of Heaven" are Shen Teng and Ma Li, right?"

Wu Yuan looked at Shen Teng with an appreciative expression, and said very respectfully: "These two have very good acting skills, and after the drama training, I can rest assured that I will hand them over!" ”

"Let's set up the project as soon as possible, and the company will sign a contract in two days, and strive to catch up with the release of next summer."

"Comedies, except for the Chinese New Year, that is, the summer files are the best sellers."
