After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 173
"It's just finished now, I thought it was going to be released." Xiaoguang took a bite of the apple and complained a little helplessly.

It is well known that the production cycle of movies, especially such blockbusters, is long. Sometimes it may only take three or four months to shoot, but half a year to post.

Not to mention, there are still negotiations with theaters in the future, so we need to strive for more film schedules and choose a suitable schedule.

To put it simply, the box office of a movie is composed of many factors, and its quality is only a very weak part of it.

If the announcement can determine the basic box office and the lower limit of a movie, then the quality can only determine the upper limit of a movie... no, nothing can be determined.

It used to be said that the smell of wine was also afraid of deep alleys, but at least if the smell can waft out, it can still attract people.

But now, if you don’t hang an attractive sign outside, shout loudly, or even take the initiative to solicit customers, no one will come in.

This is the general status quo of movies in theaters, not only in China, but also in foreign countries.

Many people think that literary films, that is, art films, also have a large market abroad. This is actually an illusion. What really has a market is not a commercial film or an art film at all, but a film that has been successfully marketed.

This is also a sign of the mature commercialization and industrialization of foreign countries. They have many publicity channels, such as award ceremonies, various official film selections, video tapes, and various peripheral products.

Because of the strict management and control of intellectual property rights, foreign countries have mature industrial systems in terms of peripheral income, which are not comparable to domestic ones.

On the other hand, in China, the current award ceremonies lack credibility and attention. Ordinary people basically don’t watch film selections. Watching movies is basically to see what is in the current theater, not to see what they like to watch.

In this case, it is not uncommon to see bad movies without knowing it. Although watching movies is a kind of pastime in itself, it is also a problem that the requirements are too low.

Therefore, it is not a matter of fawning on foreigners to say that the level of moviegoing among domestic moviegoers is too low, as it is.

However, as the younger generation gradually grows up, even with the "poison" of various short videos, the requirements for viewing movies are gradually increasing. Those movies that cater to the audience casually also need to spend a lot of money on marketing to deceive the audience into the show .

And it can be deceived for a while, but not for a lifetime. As long as word of mouth comes out, it will immediately fall off a cliff.

The importance of word-of-mouth is getting higher and higher, so some movies will try to be screened at the beginning, and then they will be released on a large scale when the word-of-mouth spreads.

At this time, as long as there are no other conflicts, the theaters don't mind putting on a good film with more prospects. After all, they only want to make money.

It is conceivable that it will be a long time before "Dragon Born 2" is officially released. By then, Ming Yixiu may be about to be released.

Although this movie has a lot of action scenes, it doesn't have that kind of big explosion scene and doesn't need to use many special effects. It is estimated that it will save more time than "Dragonborn 2" in the later stage, that is, the schedule may be delayed for some time.

"Okay," Li Mingji also picked up an apple and gnawed it, and then said to Brother Wang: "Let's set aside time for publicity, but I don't know if I will be used for publicity over there."

Brother Wang laughed and said: "That's right, if they don't need you to promote, why invite you?"

Li Mingji: "..."

Aya covered her mouth and snickered, "Brother Wang, you might as well not say what you said..."

Brother Wang also realized that he didn't say anything good, but seeing that Li Mingji was very free and easy, he raised his hand to signal "mine", and then passed it lightly, "How about it, do you have any thoughts these days? , such as live broadcasting, posting some videos, where are the updates?"

If it had been put before, Brother Wang would definitely not be so enthusiastic, but after reading some comments with Li Mingji, he suddenly felt that he could have more opportunities to interact with ordinary audiences, and the effect was no worse than normal announcements.

Now is the Internet age, why do so many celebrities join the live broadcast and the interaction on social platforms, because the identity and status of celebrities are no longer so mysterious and unattainable. For ordinary people, they are "close to the people" Well, it's more likable.

Apart from fans, not many people regard celebrities as superior, and fans also like to be "closer" to their idols.

In the past, when Brother Wang was learning how to be an agent, he always learned from those old agents. In addition, he himself was too old, so it is understandable that his ideas cannot keep up with the times.

Moreover, Li Mingji in the past didn't care about these things. With his secondary personality, he might wish to be isolated from ordinary people.

Now Brother Wang can be regarded as being influenced by Li Mingji, and began to face up to these things that he looked down upon before.

Li Mingji thought about how busy he had been since he was reborn. Although he didn't have much time for serious rest, it was really annoying sometimes, but he felt too boring and boring when he stopped to rest.

Maybe it's a bit "cheap", but I have to say that he actually likes the current pace of life, as long as it's not such a rush to shoot like this time, and the pressure is so great that the body can't bear it.

And now I have rested for two or three days. The doctor also said during the examination today that rest does not mean saying nothing or doing nothing. It is necessary to move appropriately. No matter what time you can’t go to extremes, so he Really need to find something to do.

After thinking about it, he made a decision, "If you want to make a video, you don't know what content to make. If you don't have any good content, just make a video. It's better to live broadcast, and then record the screen directly."

At present, the live broadcast platform he has determined is "Seafood" live broadcast. Since the last live broadcast here, he has not come here for a second time.

But his live broadcast is not his business alone. Both the company and the platform have to explain it, so Brother Wang first went to the contact person, and then Xiaoguang fixed the equipment, and then the live broadcast officially started.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Mingji, this is my second live broadcast... Mainly because I saw a lot of fans and viewers concerned about my situation on the Internet recently, I thought I'd just find an opportunity to tell everyone.

"Currently, the crew has suspended filming because I was rushing to shoot and didn't pay much attention to it. Anyone who has a job knows that kind of situation... Then when the results were checked, many of them had problems, so in fact, it's not just me, everyone is working very hard. .

"Especially the director, even at this time he can't stop completely, and he has to edit and communicate at the same time. I really think it's difficult for him, so there are some voices criticizing the director. I hope that there will be no need for it in the future..."

To do this live broadcast, it is definitely not to come up to say hello and chat a few words, the publicity effect that should be achieved must be achieved.

Even if the company and the crew didn't say anything, and Brother Wang didn't remind him, Li Mingji himself knew what to say. After all, he was a man who looked up fan comments in his free time.

He has seen too many examples of fans paying the bill as idols, so when encountering such a situation, he would rather lose fans than make things clear.

"Today I also went to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup, ha ha... I saw a trending search later, but you didn't catch me, hey, what a pity..."
