My dad is a big star

"I haven't found this yet!"

Hu Shuo shrugged. Chuangshi Entertainment does not yet have the strength to independently distribute films. For a theater film, quality is of course crucial, but the distributor is equally important, especially for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" "For a movie where the director and the male protagonist are both transparent, a strong distributor is the most important part of boosting the movie's box office.

In fact, there are currently only seven or eight domestic entertainment companies with strong distribution capabilities, and Chinese Entertainment is one of them.

The distribution ability of a company actually depends on two aspects, one is the relationship with several major domestic theaters, and the other is the relationship with some mainstream media.

To put it bluntly, the process of releasing a film is the process of publicity and the process of negotiating with theaters to schedule films.

If there is no strong distributor and the film lineup is relatively poor, then the film screening rate will be very low, and some theaters will not even arrange films for you. Can't lift the slightest splash.

Therefore, in a situation like "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is still necessary to find a more powerful publisher.

"How about I send it for you?"

Qiu Xiaobai asked along the way.

"Which mode?"

Hu Shuo asked, under normal circumstances, publishers have two distribution models, one is guaranteed distribution, and the other is agency distribution. Guaranteed distribution is generally aimed at famous directors or works with a strong starring lineup. Once the movie is released, if the box office is lower than 5 million, the distributor will also pay the box office share to the producer according to the box office of 5 million.

If the box office exceeds 5 million, then the publisher will take a larger share of the excess box office. As for the ratio, it depends on how the two parties negotiate.

But this method of distribution means that the risk is completely borne by the publisher, so it is also a gamble for the publisher, but when it comes to famous directors and masterpieces, even if the risk is high, many companies are still willing to fight for it. Well, if it succeeds, the income is still very considerable. Of course, there are also many failure cases.

Compared with the guaranteed release model, the second method is more common, that is, the ordinary agency release, and the issuer only pays the labor service fee, which is usually 2~8 of the box office share, and some companies charge a fixed amount of fees. , the risk issuer basically does not take any risk in this way of issuance.

"Boss Hu doesn't want me to guarantee my hair, does he?"

Qiu Xiaobai frowned slightly. For a film of such magnitude as "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is estimated that no distribution company is willing to guarantee the release. First, there is no famous director, and second, there is no big bowl. The whole movie can be called famous The best actors are the few people who became popular because of "Love Apartment".

But the film market and the TV drama market are completely different things. Many actors who are good on the small screen are not effective on the big screen. Not to mention the few newcomers who just became popular with "Love Apartment".

Therefore, the issuance that Qiu Xiaobai mentioned is of course not a guaranteed issuance, but another kind of agency issuance that does not take any risks.

"Okay, I understand Mr. Qiu's meaning."

Hu Shuo shrugged: "I'll think about it again."

……

Chapter 208 I Am Your Husband Mr. Yang

Refused.

Qiu Xiaobai looked at Hu Shuo quite unexpectedly. Of course, there is no need to say a lot of things so directly. If you think about it and look at it again, basically there will be no more to say.

However, from Qiu Xiaobai's point of view, Hu Shuo could at least talk to her, after all, the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" did not meet the conditions for guarantee.

"Boss Hu should know about your film, it's very difficult to find a guaranteed release." Qiu Xiaobai said with a straight face.

"I know."

Hu Shuo nodded.

"Then can we still chat?" Qiu Xiaobai asked.

Hu Shuo smiled: "It's not that I don't want to chat with Mr. Qiu, but I know that it's difficult for us to reach a consensus. Besides, Mr. Qiu may have forgotten one thing. Our family has a theater~!"

There is nothing wrong with Hu Shuo's words. Every Wanli shopping mall is equipped with a Wanli cinema. At present, the "Wanli Cinema Line" under the Wanli Group is the third largest cinema chain in China. It has 130 seven theaters nationwide. The number of screens is one thousand and 540 pieces.

Every year, the box office of movies produced by Wanli Cinemas can account for almost a quarter of the country's total box office.

It is precisely because of such strong theater support that Wanli Group established Wanli Pictures to enter the film and television industry. Unfortunately, although Wanli Pictures is a unique owner, the quality of the films produced and invested has not been good. This led to Yang Wanli wanting to cut off the "non-performing assets" of Wanli Pictures.

However, since Wanli Pictures relies on the third largest theater chain in the country, Wanli Pictures' distribution capabilities are very strong, at least not weaker than Chinese entertainment.

Therefore, Hu Shuo could have chosen Wanli Pictures to distribute "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"I really forgot, Hu always leans against a big tree to enjoy the shade!"

Qiu Xiaobai sighed with a smile on his face.

Now that we have talked about this, there is no need to continue this topic.

In fact, Qiu Xiaobai was not particularly optimistic about the film "The Richest Man in Xihong City". She just believed in Hu Shuo's screenwriting ability, and felt that it might become a comedy with a small scale.

Judging from the box office performance of Chinese-language movies in recent years, most of the small and big movies have the same characteristic, that is, comedy elements. Most people watch movies to relax. Therefore, comedy is more popular in the movie market. .

And "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is just a comedy, with the already successful "Love Apartment" ahead, so Qiu Xiaobai felt that this drama might have a chance to make a big difference, and it was based on this consideration that she wanted to She helped distribute it, but now that Hu Shuo's willingness to cooperate is not strong, she didn't continue to talk about it. After all, in her opinion, this film only has the possibility of making a big difference.

If according to Hu Shuo's idea, she was asked to guarantee the release, Qiu Xiaobai would naturally not do it, so the topic can only end here.

However, after talking with Qiu Xiaobai, a bold idea came to Hu Shuo's mind. In fact, before Qiu Xiaobai mentioned the release just now, he hadn't thought of the release of the movie, but Qiu Xiaobai reminded According to him, although the current framework of Creation Entertainment has been set up, it is missing a very important link. At present, the company does not have the ability to distribute movies.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is just the first movie of Creation Entertainment, and there will be a second, third... nth movie. Without the ability to distribute, it will naturally not work.

The opening ceremony of the second season of "Love Apartment" ended, the reporters dispersed, and the filming officially started.

Since "The Richest Man in Xihong City" hasn't finished filming yet, Feng Haibo's shooting plan is to shoot the scenes of three newcomers a few days ago, and when "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is finished, Sun Dasheng, Shen Kai, and Liu Xiaoxiao will join the group , and then shoot a group play in which several leading actors are together.

The first scene after turning on the phone was Tang Youyou's scene. She was playing a role in the crew with a flamboyant giant sword on her body, and she was studying her role with the director.

This scene appeared in the first episode of the second season of "Love Apartment". It is a presentation of the identity and character of Tang Youyou, a new member of the iPartment. It is also the first time that this new member appears in front of the audience. Therefore, her performance is also very important.

Hu Shuo also came to the shooting scene, wanting to see how Chu Yanran performed and whether she could quickly adapt to this role.

With Feng Haibo's sound, the game recorder left the stage.

At the beginning of Chu Yanran's performance, the director who played with her was a senior actor, and he was also experienced in acting, so she didn't panic at all when she acted for Chu Yanran.

And Chu Yanran's own performance is also very good, her movements, movements, and lines are done in one go, with almost no flaws.

What a good actor!

Hu Shuo, who was watching from behind the monitor, nodded slightly.

At this time, Feng Haibo yelled "click", and the first shot was turned on, and it passed.

"The people are beautiful, and the acting is good! It's really good!"

Feng Haibo sighed with emotion.

"What's the matter, you're falling in love with him?" Hu Shuo glanced at Feng Haibo.

"It's pure appreciation!" Feng Haibo chuckled.

On the other hand, Hu Shuo said with a serious face: "I said, Brother Bo, I really have to remind you this time, please keep it tight, don't let the filming of the filming end be on the trending list again!"
