"Are you ready to be released......

Everyone was in the company, and after receiving Lin Yuan's call, the two met in the film department.

Facing Lin Yuan, who was full of anticipation, Lao Zhou felt a little headache, and while groaning, he pondered the language: "Your movie will definitely be released when it is released......

"But?"

Lin Yuan felt that there must be a turning point in this kind of speech.

As Lin Yuan expected.

Lao Zhou really coughed: "But our company has been busy preparing for the release of "Thunderstorm" recently, and July is the summer file, and the competition in the film market is very fierce......"

Lin Yuan frowned.

Of course, he knew about the Thunderstorm project.

The company's first film project, so the above is very important.

It's different from Earth.

Blue Star's film industry is undoubtedly more developed, and it is not a problem for Hollywood to sling the earth with various special effects technologies.

This means an exaggerated increase in the speed of such films.

With such superb film technology support, films like "Thunderstorm" are not necessarily much slower to complete than some small-budget films.

It is unimaginable on Earth, but it is not a problem to do it to this extent in Blue Star.

"So. ”

Lao Zhou said helplessly: ""Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" will definitely not get too many films, after all, there are too many blockbusters in the same period, and we have three chapters before the promotion, and there is no extra money to promote your movie." ”

"Then let me change the schedule?"

Of course, Lin Yuan knows the importance of film scheduling.

Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan to still think about the film arrangement.

The summer file is just an excuse for Lao Zhou.

He really couldn't get too many films for "Tang Bohu Ordering Autumn Fragrance".

For movies with an investment of less than 10 million, all the actors combined, none of them can carry the box office.

It doesn't matter if the director is inexperienced, the screenwriter is still a composer, but the script is also confusing......

To know.

Film scheduling not only depends on the quality of the movie, but also on the production company.

Take "Thunderstorm", for example.

As a movie promoted by Xingmang, in order to get a higher schedule in the early stage, Lao Zhou and the leaders of the film department gave a lot of benefits to the people in charge of the theater chain.

Does Lao Zhou still want to give gifts for "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"?

How much do you have to give?

And it doesn't hurt to send it useful.

The key is that the movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is useless even if it gives more films.

In the end, it is not the theater chain that decides whether to pay, let alone the entertainment company, but the audience!

Lao Zhou complained bitterly: "The schedule can be changed, but no matter how you change it, it will be difficult to get the schedule of your movie, after all, the theater chain also watches the dishes, and your movie has no stars, no famous directors, and no investment......

There is no big investment.

There is no famous director.

There are no big-name actors.

This type of film is collectively known as the "three-no movie".

It's not that there have been examples of three-no movies that are small and big, but this kind of example is too rare, so it is impossible for theaters to invest too much emotion in three-no movies.

It's not that Lao Zhou deliberately excused himself.

But even if Lao Zhou wanted to help, he couldn't help it.

He can only arrange some garbage schedules for "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" during the depression period, and he can be regarded as having an explanation, after all, this movie has been filmed, so it can't be released, right?

"Then it's not going to be released. ”

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

Lao Zhou's face changed.

This kid ...... Angry?

He looked at Lin Yuan and coaxed cautiously: "This movie has been filmed, why don't you release it, let's also take a look at the performance, if the movie performs well enough, maybe the word of mouth will rise, the word of mouth will rise, and the theater chain will also increase the ...... of film scheduling."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

Lao Zhou is talking about the usual situation.

But Lin Yuan knew that the film schedule was not enough, and the only film schedule was also arranged during the garbage time period, which would most likely lead to the movie directly hitting the street to death.

There are actually quite a few movies that try to counterattack.

But there are actually few who have really completed the counterattack.

Lin Yuan didn't plan to put his hope on an ethereal counterattack.

If it is usual, there is really hope for the movie to counterattack, after all, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is a quite successful Zhou's comedy on the earth.

But now......

There is little hope.

Qin Qi merged, in the film market, major companies are fighting, immortals are fighting, how many people are eyeing the summer file?

There is no film schedule......

There are still a lot of movies that have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the same period, isn't there one that impresses the audience, why should you make a small-budget movie stand out?

The basis of the counterattack is that there are no fierce films in the same period, or the early film schedule is not bad.

Take "Crazy Stone", the most classic counterattack case on our earth, as an example.

Everyone is talking about how textbook the counterattack of this movie is, but they ignore an important factor:

When this movie was released, there was no other movie in the same period, and none of them could be beaten!

You know, the audience will also settle accounts.

For about the same amount of money, is it cost-effective to watch a special effects blockbuster and experience a vivid visual feast, or is it cost-effective to watch a low-budget movie?

The answer is obvious.

So Lin Yuan didn't dare to bet that there would be no fierce movies in the summer of July.

Especially after listening to Lao Zhou's analysis, Lin Yuan became more and more aware of how dangerous this summer file was.

He had completely ignored this before.

This is also related to the fact that Lin Yuan is full of book knowledge and does not have a certain amount of practical experience.

Fortunately, after Lao Zhou mentioned the problem of film scheduling, Lin Yuan reacted.

Almost had an accident.

It's too unwise to grab the box office with the big investment in the summer file.

After thinking about it, he already had a new plan, and put forward his own ideas to Lao Zhou: "You can skip the theater and broadcast it directly on the Internet." ”

"Don't go to the theater ......"

Only then did Lao Zhou understand what Lin Yuan meant, and his expression was somewhat surprised: "You mean, Wangda?"

Internet University is the meaning of online movies.

Big online movies don't need to be released in theaters, and the review standards are low, and many small-budget movies rely on the Internet to make money.

Of course, for the real big film companies, the money-making model of the Internet is just a small fight.

If the operation of cinema movies is good, the revenue is in the unit of 100 million......

Then the big online movie, if it is the sky, it will earn tens of millions.

Lao Zhou thought that Lin Yuan was blindly confident, just like every fledgling newcomer, thinking that his movies were the best in the world.

As a result, I didn't expect that Lin Yuan was willing to take a step back and chose to use the Internet University as the release channel for "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".

If you think about it, it's a good choice!

However, before Lao Zhou agreed, Lin Yuan immediately said: "Since I don't choose the theater line, the company won't be able to help me much." ”

Lao Zhou smiled awkwardly.

The threshold of the Internet University is very low, and the company can't come forward, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" can be on.

For theatrical films, movies with an investment of less than 10 million have no sense of existence.

But in the Internet University, the investment in "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", although it is not large, it is not a small batch.

"So ......"

Lin Yuan said another purpose for choosing the Internet University: "I hope the company will sell me "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and I am personally willing to pay 10 million to buy out this movie." ”

Lao Zhou: "???"

The company contributed people and money to make a movie for you, and after the filming, you told me, you bought this movie privately?

It was the first time Lao Zhou saw someone who dared to be so open-minded to pick up the company's wool.

The company invested 9 million to shoot "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and Lin Yuan spent 10 million to buy it, which seemed to be a small profit for the company.

However, when the cost of manpower, material resources and time is counted, the company actually does not make any money.

Because the crew is raised by the company, they go at the company's internal price.

If Lin Yuan wanted to make this movie privately, the same effect would not be more than fifteen million, and he would not be able to take it at all.

But then again.

The company originally planned to waste this money, but they didn't expect Lin Yuan to be willing to take over and pay for it himself......

"I agreed. ”

For projects of less than 10 million, Lao Zhou is now one of the company's executives and has the right to make this decision.
