Chapter 024: May Day is coming!
"The book of the unintentional thief is still so wonderful!"
"What's the use of jade pendants? It won't be another winged bird, right? A bit of PTSD up bros. ”
"It seems that Sedum and Xue Jian should be in a state of joy and revenge, but it doesn't seem to have entered the main line yet, so I don't know what story they are telling."
The first day of the update of "Fairy Sword 3", the plot of the encounter between Sedum and Xuejian came to an abrupt end.
Then there was a heated discussion among the readers of "Fairy Sword".
It can only be said that it is still a familiar recipe, or a familiar taste!
Every time I see the words of the unintentional thief, there is a sense of realism that comes to my face, even the supporting characters are also very vivid.
On the entire novel forum, almost all of them were swiped by the discussion of "Fairy Sword 3", and the popularity was directly full!
There are admiration, and there must be doubts.
Not to mention the two major online literature websites, Starry Sky Novel Network and Fengming Novel Network, which are responsible for guiding the public opinion of the novel, let's just say that ordinary readers are also not optimistic about "Fairy Sword 3".
In the final analysis, it is still because of the law of "poor sequel".
From beginning to end, no online author has ever been able to break this iron law, even the iron fans of "Fairy Sword 1" dare not say that "Fairy Sword 3" will be very exciting.
……
The closer to the official release of "Love Letter", the more apprehensive Chang'an Film and Television Company and the crew members of "Love Letter" become.
For the company, the results of "Love Letter" determine the company's future.
From the establishment of the film project, to the increase in investment during the filming period, to the publicity and distribution costs in the later stage, Chang'an, which is a sole proprietor of the production and distribution, spent about 30 million yuan.
This cost data is already quite low in the entire booming film industry.
There are not a few movies with a cost of hundreds of millions and 100 million publicity.
But for the small workshop Chang'an Film and Television Company, the sole proprietorship bears it, and this cost is already quite difficult.
Whether in this world or in a previous life, the rules for movie box office sharing are similar.
First, about 10% of the tax and related film development expenses will be deducted, and then the theater will take about 60% of the account, and the remaining 40% will be left to the producer and distributor to share the account.
As for whether the director and the lead actor have a share of the account, it depends on the contract they negotiate with the producer.
In this way, the box office of love letters is about 150 million before it can make money.
Sole proprietorship has a high risk, and there are many gains and losses.
150 million, which is not high for fans who are used to watching blockbusters, but for "Love Letter", it needs word-of-mouth fermentation to do it.
For the heroine Li Ya and the film's leading actors, this is their chance!
Since the movie was completed, Li Ya has been counting the days and looking forward to the release of "Love Letter".
When the contract with the former film and television company expired, Li Ya was relieved.
is unwilling to sell his body, his star career in the entertainment industry is still dim, and the only light is the starring "Love Letter".
Li Ya didn't dare to imagine, she could only faintly look forward to it.
……
There was no large-scale publicity.
There was no premiere.
The arrival of the May Day holiday did not set off a wave in this world where entertainment works are like blowouts.
Because the quality of the works in this year's May Day schedule is really average.
Most of the films that are confident in the quality of the movie and have strong competitiveness will be released in the summer, and there are many moviegoers in the summer, and the audience of young people is still quite large.
The current movie on May 1st, the one that has attracted the most attention is naturally the gimmicky big-budget fantasy movie "The Legend of Syracuse".
The director of the film is Qin Mo, a well-known youth literature author, and this is Qin Mo's third work after turning to a film director.
Qin Mo's first two youth film works did not have high ratings on the Movie software, but in the end, they both achieved a box office of more than 1 billion, making a lot of money, and his movie style is gorgeous.
Judging from the trailer, this "Legend of Snow City" continues the gorgeous style, not only that, but also brings the popular post-85s Xiaohua Fang Yingying and the recently popular 20-year-old actor Li Hao to star.
According to reports, the film has an investment of more than 500 million, which is a rare big-budget fantasy movie, and is currently expected to exceed 2 billion at the box office.
As for "Love Letters".
Even with the popularity of the theme song "Red Beans" and Tang Anning's publicity, it still belongs to the ranks of little-known movies in the May Day movie.
While the little diva Tang Anning was promoting the movie, she was also watching the movie.
Tang Anning booked a premiere, and if Tang Anning thought it was a good film, he would definitely promote it on the blog.
But if it is a bad movie, it is impossible for Tang Anning to risk affecting his own reputation to vigorously promote the movie "Love Letter" and let his fans be deceived.
……
"You're not panicking, are you?"
"I'm not panicking."
A few hours before the movie was released, Zhou Kai saw that Lin Qiu was still in a relaxed posture, and he couldn't understand it at all.
He is just a crew and logistics staff, and they are all nervous about the release of "Love Letter", but Lin Qiu, the director, is like a nobody.
"It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry...... Cough. ”
"I said, what if the pants lost by the movie are gone, the film market is not a box office where movies have quality."
Zhou Kai said with a little worry.
They are all students of the directing department, so they naturally have an understanding of the film market.
The box office of a movie is related to many factors, and the quality and height of the movie itself are very important to the box office, but not all.
There is no shortage of movies in the film world that have a good reputation but ferment after being released.
"Don't I still have 30 million in my pocket?"
"If you can afford to lose, don't panic."
Lin Qiu smiled easily and responded.
For the release of "Love Letter", Lin Qiu has enough confidence that the audience and quality of the movie are fine.
Once the word-of-mouth ferments, it will be publicized, and with Lin Qiu's experience, it is expected that the box office performance will not be too bad.
As for the life and death of Chang'an, Lin Qiu's pressure is not great.
The explosion of "Fairy Sword 1" made Lin Qiu accumulate a huge amount of manuscript fees, if "Love Letter" really pounced, it was a big deal that Lin Qiu would shoot the next movie at his own expense.
How big is it?
"Sure enough, the local tyrants are different, awesome."
Zhou Kai gave a thumbs up and was completely convinced.
Although his company is much richer than Lin Qiu's family, fixed assets are fixed assets, and cash is cash.
Zhou Kai didn't have the ability to take out 30 million cash.
"Don't worry, you won't pounce."
The reason why Lin Qiu is so confident is because the competitiveness of the May 1st gear is not strong.
If you change to a summer file, there is a chance that you will be wasted!
……
The migrant workers in Xiazhou finally ushered in the May Day holiday.
plus the two days off, a full seven days of small long vacation.
Generally, during the holidays, the major scenic spots in Xiazhou must be full.
Some workers don't dare to go even if they want to travel, so they can only stay at home, at most go out to the theater to watch two movies to relax, the shopping mall is full, but there is a seat in the theater!
"Love Letters?"
"Hiss......"
"Isn't this the movie from 'Red Beans'?"
