Chapter 225 Big Internet Movie

Chapter 225 Big Internet Movie

"Are you ready to show..."

Everyone was in the company. After receiving a call from Lin Yuan, the two met in the film department.

Facing Lin Yuan who was full of anticipation, Lao Zhou felt a bit of a headache, pondering over his words while pondering: "Your movie will definitely be released..."

"but?"

Lin Yuan felt that such a statement must have a turning point.

As Lin Yuan expected.

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

Lin Yuan frowned.

Of course he knew about the Thunderstorm project.

It is the company's first film project, so the higher ups attach great importance to it.

different from Earth.

Blue Star's film industry is undoubtedly more developed, and it is not a problem for all kinds of special effects to beat Hollywood on the earth.

That means an exaggerated increase in the speed at which such films are made.

With the support of such superb film technology, the completion speed of films such as "Thunderstorm" may not be much slower than some small-investment films.

It is unimaginable on Earth, but it is not a problem to achieve this level on Blue Star.

"So say it."

Lao Zhou said helplessly: ""Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" will definitely not get too many films. After all, there are too many blockbuster films in the same period, and we have made three chapters before the promotion. There is no extra funds to promote your film."

"Then shall I change the schedule?"

Of course Lin Yuan knew the importance of arranging films.

Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Lin Yuan was still thinking about arranging the film.

The summer vacation is just an excuse for the old Zhou.

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

For a movie with an investment of less than 10 million yuan, none of the actors 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 is not only based on the quality of the film, but also on the management of the production company.

Take "Thunderstorm" for example.

As a movie promoted by Starlight, 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 those in charge of the theater.

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

How much do you have to send?

And it doesn't matter if it's useful.

The point is that even if there are more film schedules for the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", it's useless.

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

Lao Zhou complained: "The schedule can be changed, but no matter how you change it, it is very difficult to get the schedule of your movie. After all, the theaters also watch dishes and order food. Your movie has no stars, no famous director, and no director. invest……"

No big investment.

There is no director.

There are no big name actors.

Such films are collectively referred to as "three no films".

It's not that there have been examples of Sanwu films that made a small fortune, but such examples are too rare, so it is impossible for theaters to invest too much affection in Sanwu movies.

It wasn't that Lao Zhou declined on purpose.

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

He can only arrange some garbage schedules for "Tang Bohu Spots the Autumn Fragrance" during the depression period. At least it can be regarded as an explanation. After all, the filming of this movie is finished, so it must be released, right?

"Then it won't be shown."

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

Lao Zhou's expression changed.

This kid... is angry?

He turned to Lin Yuan and coaxed him cautiously: "This movie is already shot, why not release it, let's also see the performance, if the movie performs well enough, maybe the word of mouth will rise, the word of mouth will rise, The theater chain will also increase the number of films..."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

What Lao Zhou said was the normal situation.

But Lin Yuan knew that there were not enough film schedules, and the only film schedules were also scheduled during garbage time slots, which would most likely cause the film to rush to the street and die.

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

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

Lin Yuan didn't intend to put his hope on the illusory counterattack.

If it is normal, there is hope for the film's counterattack. After all, "Tang Bohu Spots the Autumn Fragrance" is quite a successful Zhou comedy on Earth.

but now……

There is little hope.

Qin and Qi have merged, and in the film market, major companies are fighting, and gods are fighting. How many people are eyeing the summer film?

no filming...

There are quite a few films that have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the same period, isn't there one that impresses the audience? Why do you let a small-budget film stand out?

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

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

Everyone is talking about how the film's counterattack is full of textbook significance, but it ignores an important factor:

When this movie was released, none of the other movies in the same period could beat it!

You know, the audience will also settle accounts.

For the same amount of money, is it more cost-effective to watch a blockbuster movie with special effects and experience the most incisive visual feast, or is it more cost-effective to watch a low-cost movie?

The answer is obvious.

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

Especially after listening to Lao Zhou's analysis, Lin Yuan realized more and more how dangerous this summer vacation is.

He had completely ignored this before.

This is also related to the fact that Lin Yuan is full of book knowledge and has no practical experience.

Fortunately, after Lao Zhou mentioned the issue of arranging the film, Lin Yuan came to his senses.

Almost had an accident.

It is too unwise to compete with the group of big investors in the summer file for the box office.

After thinking about it, he already had a new plan, and proposed his own idea to Lao Zhou: "You can broadcast it directly on the Internet instead of going to theaters."

"Don't go to theaters..."

Only then did Lao Zhou understand Lin Yuan's meaning, and his expression was somewhat surprised: "You mean, Wang Da?"

Wangda means big online movie.

Big online movies do not need to go to theaters, and the review standards are also low. Many small-budget movies rely on big online movies to make money.

Of course, for the really big film companies, Wangda's money-making model is just a small business.

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

Then the big online movies can earn tens of millions.

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

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan was willing to take a step back and chose NetUniversity as the release channel for "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".

Think about it carefully, this may well be a good choice!

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

Old Zhou smiled awkwardly.

The threshold for NetU is very low, even if the company does not come forward, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" can be published.

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

But in Wangda, although the investment in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is not large, it is not considered a small batch.

"so……"

Lin Yuan revealed another reason for choosing NetU: "I hope the company will sell me "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", and I am personally willing to pay 10 million to buy out the movie."

Old Zhou: "???"

The company spends money and people to make a movie for you. After the filming, you tell me, did you buy this movie privately?

It was the first time that Lao Zhou saw someone dare to scoop up the company's wool so openly.

The company invested 9 million in the filming of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", and Lin Yuan spent 10 million to buy it, which seemed like a small profit for the company.

However, if the manpower, material resources and time costs are included, the company does not make any profit at all.

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

If Lin Yuan wanted to make this movie privately before, with the same effect, it would be impossible to get it without more than 15 million.

But then again.

The company originally planned to waste the money, but Lin Yuan was willing to take over the order and pay for it himself, so he made some money in disguise...

Is it 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 confused.

"I agreed."

In the end, Lao Zhou agreed.

For projects with less than ten million yuan, Lao Zhou is now one of the company's executives and has the right to make decisions.

keep writing...

There were a lot of rhetoric in the last month, but this month, I haven't been able to make it better. I don't want to find a reason. Anyway, it's too useless!

Thank goodness you didn't scold me...

Then I will scold myself.

Owing a full hundred chapters, isn't it still a dog!
