Chapter 225 Big Internet Movie
"Are you going to release..."
Everyone was in the company. After receiving a call from Lin Yuan, the two met in the film department.
Facing the expectant Lin Yuan, Lao Zhou felt a bit of a headache. He pondered while pondering his words: "Your movie will definitely be released..."
"but?"
Lin Yuan felt that this kind of statement must have a turning point.
As expected by Lin Yuan.
Lao Zhou really coughed: "But our company is busy preparing for the release of "Thunderstorm" recently, and July is a summer vacation. The film market is very competitive..."
Lin Yuan frowned.
Of course he knows the project "Thunderstorm".
The company's first film project, so it attaches great importance to it.
Different from the earth.
Bluestar's film industry is undoubtedly more developed, and it is not a problem for Hollywood with various special effects technologies to smash the earth.
This means an exaggerated increase in the production speed of such films.
With the support of such superb film technology, the completion speed of films like "Thunderstorm" is not necessarily much slower than some small investment films.
It is impossible to imagine on the earth, but it is not a problem to achieve this level on Blue Star.
"That's why."
Lao Zhou said helplessly: "The "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" definitely can't get too many films. After all, there are too many blockbusters in the same period. We also have three chapters before the promotion. There is no extra money to promote your film."
"Then I change the schedule?"
Of course Lin Yuan knew the importance of filming.
Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, but Lin Yuan was still thinking about filming.
The summer vacation is just an excuse for Lao Zhou.
He really couldn't get too many films for "Tang Bohu Point Autumn Fragrance".
For movies with an investment of less than 10 million, all the actors together, no one can carry the box office.
The director has no experience. The screenwriter is still a composer, but the script is also confusing...
To know.
Filming not only depends on the quality of the movie, but also depends on the management of the production company.
For example, "Thunderstorm".
As a movie promoted by the stars, in order to get a higher ranking in the early stage, Lao Zhou and the leaders of the film department gave a lot of benefits to those in charge of the theater.
Does Lao Zhou still give gifts for "Tang Bohu Points Autumn Fragrance"?
How much does it cost?
And it doesn't hurt to send it useful.
The point is that the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is useless even if it has more films.
The final decision whether to pay is not the cinema chain, nor the entertainment company, but the audience masters!
Lao Zhou said bitterly, "The schedule can be changed, but no matter how you change it, it will be difficult to get your movie's schedule. After all, you also watch the dishes on the theater line. investment……"
No big investment.
There is no director.
There are no big-name actors.
Such movies are collectively referred to as "Three No Movies".
It's not that there have been examples of Sanwu movies using small and popular movies, but this kind of example is too rare, so it is impossible for theaters to put too much emotion in Sanwu movies.
It's not that Lao Zhou declined intentionally.
But even if Lao Zhou wanted to help, he couldn't help much.
He can only arrange some junk schedules for "Tang Bohu Point Autumn Fragrance" during the depression period. Anyway, it can be considered as an explanation. After all, the filming of this movie has been made.
"Then it won't be released."
After Lin Yuan thought a little, he suddenly said.
Lao Zhou's face changed.
This kid... is angry?
Facing Lin Yuan, he cautiously coaxed: "This movie has been made, why not it will be released? Let's also look at the performance. If the film performs well enough, word-of-mouth may rise. The theaters will also increase the number of films..."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Lao Zhou was talking about the normal situation.
However, Lin Yuan knew that there was not enough film schedule, and the only film schedule was also scheduled in the garbage time period, which would cause the film to rush to death.
There are actually a lot of movies that try to counterattack.
But there are not many that have actually completed counterattacks.
Lin Yuan didn't plan to put hope on the vague counterattack.
If it is normal, the movie counterattack is really promising. After all, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is quite a successful Zhou comedy on earth.
but now……
Hope is very slim.
Qin and Qi merged. In the film market, major companies are fighting law and gods are fighting. How many people are watching the summer vacation?
No filming...
In the same period, there are still a lot of films with several hundred million investment. Isn't there one that impresses the audience? Why do you make a small-cost film?
The basis of the counterattack is that there are no strong films in the same period, or that the advance sequence is not bad.
Take our planet’s most classic counter-attack case "Crazy Stone" as an example.
Everyone is talking about how textbook the film’s counterattack is, but it ignores an important factor:
When this movie was released, there were no other movies in the same period.
You know, the audience will settle the accounts.
For the same amount of money, is it cost-effective to watch a special effects blockbuster and experience the most vivid visual feast, or to watch a low-cost movie?
The answer is obvious.
Therefore, Lin Yuan dare not bet that there will be no strong movies in the summer of July.
Especially after listening to Lao Zhou's analysis, Lin Yuan has discovered how dangerous this summer file is.
He had completely ignored this before.
This is also related to Lin Yuanman's book knowledge and no practical experience.
Fortunately, after Lao Zhou mentioned the issue of film scheduling, Lin Yuan reacted.
Almost an accident.
It would be unwise to grab the box office with those big investments in the summer vacation.
After thinking about it, he had a new plan, and put forward his own thoughts to Lao Zhou: "You can broadcast it directly on the Internet without going to the theater line."
"Don't take the theater line..."
Only then did Lao Zhou understand what Lin Yuan meant, and his expression was somewhat surprised: "You mean, Wang Da?"
Net big is the meaning of big online movie.
Big online movies don't need to go to theaters, and the review standards are low. Many low-cost movies make money from online big movies.
Of course, for a truly big film company, Netda’s money-making model is just a small fight.
If the movie theaters are operating well, the revenue is in 100 million units...
Then, the big online movies will earn tens of millions when they become the sky.
Lao Zhou thought that Lin Yuan was blindly self-confident, just like every fledgling newcomer, that his movie was number one in the world.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan was willing to take a step back and choose to use Net University as the channel for the release of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
Think about it carefully, this is a good choice!
However, before Lao Zhou agreed, Lin Yuan immediately said, "Since I don't choose the theater, the company can't help me much."
Lao Zhou smiled awkwardly.
The threshold of the Internet University is very low, and the company can't come forward, so "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang" can be included.
For theatrical movies, films with less than ten million investment have no sense of existence.
But on the Internet, the investment in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang" is not a big one, but it is not a small one.
"and so……"
Lin Yuan stated another reason for choosing Net University: "I hope the company will sell me "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang", and I am personally willing to pay 10 million to buy out this movie."
Lao Zhou: "???"
The company will provide people and money to make a movie for you. After the filming, you tell me that you bought this movie privately?
It is the first time for Lao Zhou to see someone dare to be so upright in the company wool.
The company invested 9 million in the filming of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", and Lin Yuan spent 10 million to buy it, which seems to be a small profit for the company.
However, the company does not make a profit at all if the manpower, material resources and time costs are included.
Because the crew is raised by the company, they go at the company's internal price.
If Lin Yuan wanted to make this movie as a private person before, the same effect, not more than 15 million, would not be able to get it.
But then again.
The company originally planned to use this money for nothing, but Lin Yuan was willing to accept the order and pay for it, so he made some profit in disguise...
Is that a profit or a loss?
It probably depends on what the company thinks. Anyway, Lao Zhou was at a loss for a few seconds and felt a little stunned.
"I agreed."
In the end, Zhou agreed.
For projects with less than tens of millions, Lao Zhou is now one of the company's senior executives and has the right to decide.
