034 Reality gives way to profit
He Fang successfully bought the script of "People in Embarrassment", he didn't bargain to buy the script not only because the script was good, but also because he wanted to make friends with Tian Yusheng, a big screenwriter.
After that, the "Ex" series he wrote could still make box office, but unfortunately he had to be a director himself. His directing level is not good at all, and he wastes a good story.
But in terms of his directorial level, the box office of the "Ex" series is not bad, and it can be seen from this side that Tian Yusheng's story has actually been grasping the pain points of society. "People in Embarrassment" is about the Spring Festival and people who have lost their true selves, and "Ex" is about the absurd world of marriage and love.
Although He Fang doesn't necessarily like the movie "Ex", he is a commercial filmmaker, why not make money if he can make money? If you don't want to shoot yourself, you can invest.
It's just that after buying "People in Embarrassment", his film schedule was nervous, and he immediately filmed "Lobster" after "Far Cry", and at the end of the year, he will shoot "People in Embarrassment", tsk There are few directors who shoot so intensively, right?
Of course, Hong Kong directors don't count, Wang Jing can make nine movies a year, that's called crazy.
After completing the joint contract of "People in Embarrassment", he will continue to do the sound post-production of the film and go to Hualong Company to do dimming and color grading.
Of course, during this period, he funded the film and television rights of "The Wandering Earth" and "The Three-Body Problem", and in addition, the most important thing is that he wants to finalize "Far Cry".
The schedule of 37 movies in the summer file sent to him by his father He Ben, there are 23 in August, 13 in July, and 1 at the end of June. Because He Fang still wants to rely on the "Voice" platform to promote "Far Cry", his idea should be scheduled for the end of July and early August, but this schedule makes him have no bottom in his heart.

He expected that there would be Hollywood blockbusters at the end of July and early August, including "Harry Potter 6" and "Eavesdropping", and then "Flying House" and "Special Forces", all of which are good box office movies in his memory.
At least other films in the middle will be separated from the box office, not to mention, this summer file is really scary.
By the beginning of July, his film promotion was not effective, and there was no "The Voice" program to set off. Is it going to compete with Harry Potter in mid-July? By the end of July, do you want to fight with "Eavesdropping"?
What is the August schedule? At the beginning of August, there were "Flying House Travel" and "Special Forces", and in the middle of the year, there was "Very Perfect", the key is that there were 23 films scheduled in August, which were all crowded.
As for He Fang, who made a theatrical movie for the first time in his two lives, he thought that the publicity was very simple, and the competition was not much. When he saw the table, his scalp was tingling.
This doesn't seem like a good place to compete, what should I do? For a while, I was a little helpless.
However, fortunately, he has a father who runs a movie theater, so He Fang called his father He Ben.
"Hey, Dad, as a veteran theater boss, which schedule is better for you to watch my movie? I've watched so many movies get together, I won't be in line. ”
It's not a shame to admit it to his dad and take a lesson.
"Ha, you kid, I knew you were going to be in this trouble. That's why I'm ready for 5 million for you to lose money, and it's easy for you to watch the movie in theaters. Ling's movies want stars or not, and there are no topics to talk about, I see that you recently asked Zhang Qian to stir up the topic of the bodies of several actresses on the Internet, these are all small words, useless. Netizens and movie theater audiences are not completely two waves of people, but it can only be said that the degree of overlap is not very high. ”
"......" He Fang was dumbfounded now, it seemed that he had thought about the analysis of the market simply, "So what now?" ”
"What to do? Film promotion also needs the right way, it needs big media, it's useless to post on the Internet, if the post is useful, why should other people's movies invest tens of millions of publicity and distribution fees at every turn? ”
He Ben also wanted to take this opportunity to teach his son a lesson, otherwise he always thought that he was very awesome, as if he could call the wind and rain.
"What's a big media practice?" He asked.
"Cinemas across the country have to put up your posters, loop your trailers, and put them outdoors. In addition, on variety shows, "Kuaiben" must be on, I will help you contact this, after all, with the name of Huying, "Kuaiben" has to give some face publicity. Your own "The Voice" is also going to be on it, and "Fast Girl" will ask me if it's okay to see if it's okay, and the major entertainment news channels will be on it. ”
"This is just publicity, as for the film arrangement, I'll help you talk about it, and let Zhang Qian follow me. How can you score more than 15% of the films, or you will wait to hit the street. ”
He Fang listened to his father's arrangement, he was numb, it turned out to be ...... It's so complicated.
"However, I don't have that much budget, I only have 2 million publicity fees." He Fang suddenly thought of a question.
"Changsha Tuanhuo culture has let Huying Group inject 30% of the capital, and this money group is out."
“…… Ah, no, Dad, you can't help the group pit your son's shares. "He's in a hurry.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by me helping the group pit you? I'm here to help you find a backer, don't let others leave you with all the scum you eat. You...... Still can't see clearly? Do you think you can register a company and win the world? You think you can fool people with just one mouth? Do you think you can write a copy and get people around to work together? He Ben was angry on the phone.
"What, what do you mean?" He Fang didn't turn a corner a little.
"Son, you have to learn to hug your thighs. As a child of Lake Film Studio, you make a contribution to the film group, but your company and income have nothing to do with the group, do you really think that the resources are free to use? Secretary Gu has talked to me, are you so generous to give shares to your friends, but you don't know how to use shares to bind a real thigh? Don't you know how to hug this thigh of Lake Shadow Group? What kind of brain are you? He Ben finally began to teach his son a lesson.
Don't let He Fang go crazy to the verge of madness, it is estimated that he can only get the disgust of He Fang when he teaches him, and now he has to teach him a lesson is to let him deeply understand what reality is.
"But, I, the company doesn't want to be interfered with...... He Fang said dissatisfiedly.
"The interests are negotiated, the group signs an agreement with you, the group becomes a shareholder, and does not interfere in management. Didn't you learn so many advanced methods in the United States? Do you think those American start-ups, after they get the management rights after investment, they are still their own? You can negotiate with the group about this, I don't care, I'm just responsible for conveying the opinions of the above. By the way, don't think about withdrawing Tuanhuo Culture's stake in Xingyao. ”
"Son, the world is all about the exchange of interests, do you think the group is interested in you, a film company that has never made a movie? Mango Station is so profitable, our Lake Film Group is not popular? The "Voice" you made is no worse than "Fast Girl" now, and the group leaders don't want to divide the point when they see it? Fang Yanzi, don't be stupid, think about why a movie like "Ten Perfect and Beautiful" got more than 50 million box office, and it wasn't the entire Hunan Radio and Television that gave support. Sign the contract, and the rest of the Xuanfa Lake Film Group will be done for you, choose a good schedule and give a good schedule, this movie will be a success. ”
He Ben was afraid that He Fang would still be dead and refused to cooperate, so he had to make some words clear.
"I just want to prove that I can make things happen with good movies, good works and personal talent...... "He Fang is a little unwilling, although he knows that the so-called personal talent is copied, but not everyone can copy it well, not to mention that he will also modify it in combination with the actual situation.
"Heh, your personal talent? That's right, you're a bit talented. But without my support, without the support of Lake Film Group, can your movie be shot smoothly? Without the appearance of the Lake Film Group, Guo Zhaosheng trusts you so much? Let's just say that you do "The Voice", do you think you can succeed just by flickering on both sides of your mouth? ”
"The Voice is so publicized, Mango TV has not suppressed it? If we didn't give you Zhang Luo to let you go to see the director of Zhejiang Taiwan, he would believe you as a hairy boy? Where, a little talent is your capital, but not to be proud of your talent. At least people are willing to help you and invest in you, but if you don't want to share the results, it will be very dangerous. ”
"......, well, well, then I'll come back tomorrow to talk to the group about this." He Fang is helpless, but he is not a second-year teenager, and he now finally understands that it is difficult to play with a little resources just by relying on his second-generation resources.
He Ben is right, it would be stupid not to hug such thick thighs of the Lake Film Group. He thought that he was the only one who harvested others, but he didn't expect that the master would have already taken the bait for him, and others had already calculated that the reality would let him take the initiative to bite the hook.
