"These idols are nothing."

"The big battle just now almost scared me to death."

"It's not as good as you, Director Lu."

……

As time passed, the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, ...... Slowly it stopped, and the statue was slowly carried back to the temple.

The flow of people that had gathered because of the wandering activities also slowly dispersed.

Lu Zhengyi followed the flow of people and walked towards the hotel where he was temporarily staying.

Later, Chu Renmei chattered non-stop.

It seems that he wants to cover up the self who was so scared that he almost shrunk into the other party's shadow just now.

But no matter how she opened her mouth and touted, Lu Zhengyi didn't say anything.

He walked forward in silence.

From a distance, Lu Zhengyi saw Zhang Yu standing at the door of the hotel, and next to him, Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming also came back.

The three of them just stood in the doorway, looking around.

At the sight of him, the three of them were obviously relieved.

It seems that he is really afraid that he will be captured as an evil demon with Chu Renmei.

"...... so"

Zhang Yu watched Lu Zhengyi approach, relieved at the same time, but also a little puzzled, "Those idols are useless?" ”

They're back.

It's so quiet on the street.

Then it must be those gods, who didn't recognize the evil ghost of Chu Renmei.

"I don't know."

Compared to Chu Renmei, who was chattering just now, Lu Zhengyi finally spoke, "It may be really useless." ”

"But it's also possible that the person who knows how to ask God to come up is gone."

"I still say the same thing, the existence of such gods and ghosts is very rare in this world, otherwise, Teacher Chu would not be able to live until now."

Just her previous experience of torturing the black-hearted boss for almost a year before killing someone.

If there were really so many people who knew this knowledge, Chu Renmei would have died 10,000 times in a year.

How can you wait until later, you have a chance to meet her.

"It's okay."

Zhang Yu listened, but there was a look of disappointment on his face.

"Let's go back, we have to get an audition tomorrow."

Lu Zhengyi could notice his expression, but he didn't ask carefully, and after dropping a word, he stepped past him.

When he returned to his room, he did not rest immediately.

Instead, I turned on the computer and paid attention to the discussion of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" on the Internet.

Now, two weeks have passed since the release of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village".

According to the conditions set with the theater in the morning, it should have been screened.

But as Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming expected, the theater company extended the release time and adjusted it according to the one-month release time of the general film.

But the reason is not that this film has already sold well.

Although the film of the old corpse in the mountain village has improved in terms of attendance, in fact, it is still very low.

At least the theater side is definitely losing money at the moment, and it has lost a lot.

But in this case, the theater side is still willing to extend the release of the film, mainly because its value has changed.

This film is popular, highly discussed, and has a lot of traffic.

This is enough for the theater chain to continue to show this film even if it is losing money.

Because most of the films in theaters are losing money.

In this day and age, various entertainment industries have matured, and cinemas are not a good choice among them.

Although it is said that the equipment of the cinema is good, the screen is large, and the atmosphere is sufficient.

However, the quality of the film is getting lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to spend dozens of dollars to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

People can buy a good projector by themselves and download some resources at home for screen projection.

Although the movie-watching experience may not be as good as that of the theater, the privacy density and comfort are higher than that of the theater.

Cinemas, like television sets, are slowly being abandoned by the times.

Like before, the situation that you have to make an appointment to buy tickets one day in advance to watch a movie will basically only appear during the Spring Festival.

There may also be a few films, because the cast is good and the production cost is high...... Some of the situations can be favored by the audience.

But that's just a minority.

Most of the movies that sound highly discussed, in fact, when you click on the ticketing platform, there will basically be no full screening.

And the same is true of the old corpse in the mountain village.

Although on the Internet, because of the promotion and publicity of some people, the discussion of this film slowly began to rise.

But there are still a few people who are willing to spend money to go to the theater to watch the movie.

Most people are waiting for the movie to be watched at home through online platforms after it rolls off the theater.

Compared with the past, the box office of the movie is the big head, and the online copyright is the small head, but now it is the other way around, the network copyright, advertising revenue, and sponsorship income are the big heads of the movie, and the box office is secondary.

And the existence of movie theaters is also due to the change of the times, and now it is more like a standard place for some shopping malls.

It can't make money just by showing movies.

It can only rely on the surrounding shopping malls for some sales and advertising...... work to maintain operations.

Of course, the box office is not completely useless.

Because after most movies are taken off the theater, the partners of various video platforms basically rely on box office data to negotiate the price of online copyrights.

There are exceptions, very rare.

Coincidentally, the old corpse in the mountain village is this exception.

"Your film is getting more and more discussed."

With the sound of 'Ding Dong', a message came to Lu Zhengyi's WeChat background.

When he clicks on it, a chat box with an avatar of an animated woman in a suit appears at the top.

"Something to say."

Lu Zhengyi, who originally planned to shut down the phone after just looking at the discussion, replied to a message very bluntly.

There's an audition tomorrow, and it's late.

"A couple of people emailed you, and you didn't reply."

Zhang Xueming didn't have that set of pictures on his side, "So they contacted the light and shadow side, after all, we are your later company." ”

"Among these people are the green apple platform, the penguin platform, the red and blue platform, the sweet mang......"

"Anyway, that's all there are formal mainstream platforms in China, and they all want to talk to you about online screenings."

Lu Zhengyi looked at the message on the chat box in front of him, his face was calm, and there was no surprise.

Basically, as long as it is a movie that can be released in theaters, there will be such a link after it goes offline.

It's just that the price is high, the sharing contract is still a buyout contract, and the platform resources are given more and less.

"I briefly tested their attitude."

"Although the movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was the lowest at the box office in the same period, the discussion on the Internet rose rapidly."

"Although the movie is still in the stage of release, and it will be half a month before the next release, their attitude is still quite anxious, and they want to negotiate the contract as soon as possible."

Zhang Xueming's words continued.

It wasn't until there were no new messages in the chat box that Lu Zhengyi slowly tapped the keyboard, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Zhang Xueming: "Do you pay a consultation fee?" ”

Lu Zhengyi didn't hesitate at all, and transferred 10,000 yuan first.

Zhang Xueming accepted all the orders, and then replied with a few words, "Ask them about their respective conditions first, and then drag it out." ”

Lu Zhengyi was silent.

After a while, he was sure that there was really no more news over there, so he pressed his finger again, "A word for 10,000 yuan?" I feel like I'm losing. ”

Zhang Xueming didn't know if she was snickering or working.

After being quiet for a while, he slowly gave a message, "Don't worry, there is after-sales." ”
