It took a while to get the lights on in the screening room.

The executives in the screening hall came back to their senses one after another, and everyone looked at each other at the colleagues sitting next to them, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

After all, Qian Mao is the president of the film and television department, and he saw that the trial screening hall was silent.

He took a few deep breaths before he spoke, "You guys...... What do you think? ”

Everyone looked at each other, still silent.

What do you think?

They wanted to say something, but found their minds blank.

Finally, someone said, "Can you play it again?" ”

It's certainly impossible to play it again.

Qian Mao frowned: "Say a few words, if you don't say it, wait for everyone to hand over a movie review of no less than 1,000 words to me." ”

Now, everyone has to speak if they have nothing to say.

They hesitated for a moment before they spoke out one after another.

"Seems pretty good."

"It's a good shot."

"I think it's pretty good."

"It's probably a good movie."

"It's not easy for an action movie to be made like this."

"It's a little hot to watch."

"Me too, excited."

"To be honest, it was unexpected."

“……”

The executives spoke cautiously, carefully considering the words.

But even so, almost all of them gave a good review. And when a few managers commented, there was still a shock in their eyes that could not be concealed.

Even many people are doubting themselves, what they saw just now was really a kung fu movie?

As an executive of the film and television department, I know one thing very well in my heart: kung fu movies have always been famous in the film industry and difficult to shoot, and it is not easy to shoot well, and it is even more difficult to make results.

For example, they Yunhai Media has invested in several films, but the results are unsatisfactory every time.

But when they watched "Jingwu Heroes" just now, they were actually enthusiastic.

What this represents, it represents that the film mobilizes their emotions.

Who are they?

can become an executive in the film and television department, and the movies I usually watch don't know the geometry, and I have long been rotten about the consistent routines of movies. Even when they watched "The Battle of Fengyun Island" just now, although the movie looked passionate and cannon fodder, they were very calm after watching the whole process.

Who would have thought that watching this "Jingwu Heroes" would be emotional.

Rushing to this point makes them unable to calm their hearts.

Hearing these discussions, Qian Mao actually had some conclusions in his heart, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "According to everyone's opinion, this movie, I'm afraid there will be some money?" ”

Thinking of this, Qian Mao subconsciously glanced at Lin Juemin, and his expression was meaningful.

Lin Juemin sensed Qian Mao's gaze and couldn't help but shudder.

He immediately remembered one thing: when Wang Mo wanted to shoot "Jingwu Hero", it was originally wholly owned by the company. But later, because of insufficient funds, in order to avoid wasting the money invested, Wang Mo was moved to take a loan from the company to make a movie. In the end, the company only contributed 5 million, accounting for one-third of the shares, and Wang Mo alone accounted for two-thirds of the shares.

Because he saved five million for the company, he also went to invite the chairman to take credit.

Thinking of this, Lin Juemin's chrysanthemum tightened.

Some are distracted.

Last time, Qian Mao was scolded by the chairman for giving Wang Mo the proceeds of "That Year's Warm Embrace", and almost lost his job.

When I heard this, I was secretly happy.

I didn't expect feng shui to take turns, and I also bumped into something similar.

"I'm not going to get caught too, am I?"

Lin Juemin subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

But soon he comforted himself: impossible, absolutely impossible. Kung fu movies don't have much market in China, and there is not even a decent movie star in this movie, even if it looks good, the box office can't go up. It's hard to even schedule films. Well, it must be that I'm too sensitive and thinking too much.

In the film industry, there are a lot of movies with a good reputation but a mess at the box office in the end, maybe "Jingwu Hero" is also this kind of movie.

Come to think of this.

Lin Juemin breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

When Wang Mo was just about to go home from work.

Chai Qing brought good news.

On the phone, Chai Qing's voice was a little excited: "Mr. Wang, the company's senior management has passed the review of our film. And Mr. Qian said that he would strive for some theaters for our films in the future. ”

Wang Mo raised his eyebrows.

Cinema scheduling is the issue he is most concerned about.

He hurriedly asked, "What did Mr. Qian say?" ”

Chai Qingdao: "Mr. Qian originally meant that let's release the movie in November. Because there are not many movies released in November, it is best to try to schedule films at that time. But I said what you meant. He said that if it had to be released in mid-October, it would be fine, but the film could only be scheduled. ”

"Luck?"

Wang Mo was puzzled.

Chai Qingdao: "It just depends on how optimistic the heads of major theaters are about "Jingwu Heroes". Because October is the annual golden month of movies, too many big movies have been released. The entire Huaxia theater line is very full. Movies like ours with low investment and no big movie stars will naturally be not favored by the theater chain, and the film schedule will naturally be very unsatisfactory. ”

Wang Mo nodded: "I know, how to do it?" ”

Chai Qingdao: "Mr. Qian said that in a week, the company will invite representatives of major theaters to watch "Battle of Fengyun Island", which will be released on September 30 and is the highlight of the National Day. Therefore, almost all the head cinema representatives in China will not miss the viewing of this movie, and they will definitely go out.

At that time, after they have determined the schedule of "The Battle of Fengyun Island". Mr. Qian will release the news, hoping that they can continue to watch "Jingwu Heroes", and how many theater films we can get at that time depends on whether these representatives can be moved by the movie. ”

"Okay."

Wang Mo knew that it was not easy for Qian Mao to do this for him.

After all, if he goes to negotiate by himself, I'm afraid he won't even be able to see the representatives of the theater chain, at most he can only see the manager-level figures of these theater chains. The manager-level management can also give limited scheduling permissions.

The film schedule determines the box office of a movie.

If the film schedule is high, bad movies can pile up a good box office.

If the film schedule is low, a good film may also sink into the sea.

Not all good movies can be lucky like "Hidden in the Dust".

There was a pause.

Wang Mo remembered one thing and hurriedly said: "Before the theater representative watches the movie, you must put the theme song in it." ”

Chai Qing immediately responded: "Mr. Wang, please rest assured, the films we show to the theater are all final releases, so the theme song will definitely be put in." In addition, in the next few days, I will enrich the music in the movie according to the melody of the theme song. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Mo knew that although Chai Qing was not up to the standard of a first-line director in terms of directing, he was indeed very serious and reliable, so he put his mind at ease.

……

Time flies.

Soon a week later, early in the morning, Chai Qing called Wang Mo to tell him that representatives of various theaters invited by the company would come to watch the movie in a Wanda theater tomorrow.

In the morning, I watched "The Decisive Battle of Fengyun Island".

In the afternoon, watch "Jingwu Heroes".

At the same time, Chai Qing also asked Wang Mo to go to the company's trial screening hall to see the final version of "Jingwu Heroes" with the theme song added.

Wang Mo happily agreed, and went to the test screening hall alone to watch the movie again.

An unexpected surprise.

Wang Mo found that Chai Qing handled the theme song very well, not simply putting the song at the end, but extracting the melody of "Men as Self-improvement" and integrating it into the whole movie.

In this way, the already passionate movie has added a passion.

There are many fragments, just listening to the melody of these songs, it can make people's blood surge.

Add a lot of color to the movie.

Seeing the thick dark circles in Chai Qing's eyes, he knew that these days, Chai Qing estimated that he was working overtime day and night to integrate the song.

Wang Mo patted Chai Qing on the shoulder: "Hard work, when the box office of the movie comes out, I will give you a big red envelope." ”

Chai Qing hurriedly thanked him.

But it didn't take it to heart.

After all, how much money can a red envelope have?

……

Next.

A Wanda cinema in the XH district of the magic capital.

On this morning, Qian Mao, president of the film and television department, came here with several executives. How many films can be won by "Decisive Battle of Fengyun Island" during the National Day Golden Week depends on the viewing experience of the representatives of major theaters today.

"Mr. Liu, are you here?"

"Mr. Zhao, hahaha, welcome."

"Lao Li, an old friend is here."

"Brother Zhou, please come here."

“……”

If people in the industry are here, you will find that each of these people is a well-known cinema representative in the industry, and behind each representative is a cinema line in China.

It is precisely because of these people that they control the film schedule in Huaxia.

To a certain extent, they can make any movie they want to be popular. If you want to make any movie hit the street, you can make which movie dismal at the box office.

Of course, that's the extreme.

Generally speaking, no one is going to have trouble with money.

The better the movie, the higher the box office after release, and the greater the benefit they can get.

Most of the time, they don't show up. However, as the highlight of the National Day, the war blockbuster "Decisive Battle of Fengyun Island", which claims to invest 200 million, involves hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits, which is enough for them to personally go out to negotiate.

Nine a.m.

The heads of the major theaters arrived and began to watch the movie.

Half past eleven at noon.

Everyone walked out of the cinema one after another, with satisfied expressions on each other's faces, obviously recognizing the quality of the movie.

Under this premise, the contract problem is simple.

At dinner time, one by one cinema chain has already negotiated with Qian Mao and others about the film schedule.

In the end, the film scheduling rate of "Battle of Fengyun Island" was about 35%.

During the 11th Golden Week, this film schedule is a proper blockbuster.

With this scheduling rate and the traffic of Eleven, it is difficult for the box office of the movie to be outstanding.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

After getting the main thing done.

Qian Maocai stood up and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, our company also has a movie called "Jingwu Heroes", which is an action movie. The plan is to release it in mid-October, I wonder if you have time to continue watching this movie? And then see if you can give as many films as you want? ”

In fact, what he said was not abrupt, before he came, Qian Mao was angry with everyone.

So the person in charge of the theater chain knows about it.

Hear Qian Mao's words.

Someone stood up and showed an apologetic expression: "Mr. Qian, I have urgent matters later, so I can only leave first." If Mr. Qian doesn't mind, you can contact Manager Sun of our cinema chain in the future and let him take charge of this matter. ”

Then, one after another, people spoke.

"I'm embarrassed that I'm sorry."

"I've got other important things to do here."

"For this little thing, Mr. Qian can arrange for others to connect with the people below us, why bother to go out in person?"

“……”

For "Jingwu Heroes", these theater leaders knew its basic information before they came.

Invest 20 million.

The director is unknown.

The actor is only Hao Mingxing, a singer.

The genre is action movie.

Obviously, from all aspects, "Jingwu Hero" is a three-no movie.

What are the three nos?

That is: no big investment, no well-known directors, no big movie stars.

It can be said that they are almost not interested in such a movie, and they are not willing to waste their time on it. If it weren't for Qian Mao's face, they wouldn't even say hello, they would turn around and leave.

However, in the end, the heads of ten theaters still stayed.

There are three large cinema chains, and seven are ordinary cinema chains.

These people can stay.

First, there is no other thing to arrange in the future, and being idle is also idle, so it is better to give money a face.

Second, they are a little curious in their hearts, why can a movie with an investment of 20 million yuan allow a person in a high position like Qian Mao to invite them personally?

Something strange, huh?

That's a must-see! (End of chapter)
