full-time artist

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 1000 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 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 movies that have 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 not 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?

Facing Lin Yuan, he coaxed cautiously: "This movie is already shot, why not release it, let's also see the performance, if the movie performs well enough, maybe word of mouth will rise, 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 periods, which would most likely cause the film to rush to the street and die.

There are actually quite a lot of 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 Autumn Fragrance" is considered a very successful Zhou comedy on earth.

but now……

Hope is slim.

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

no filming...

There are quite a few films with an investment of hundreds of millions in the same period, so 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 film 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 he put forward 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 movies.

Big online movies don't 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 theater movies is good, the income is in the unit of [-] 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 [-] 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 1000 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 900 million to film "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", and Lin Yuan spent 1000 million to buy it, which seems to be 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 500 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.

Chapter 223 Representative Lin is a Good Man (100/1)

Lin Yuan showed a standard smile. He originally wanted to buy the copyright of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" at the original price, but considering that the company paid so much after all, he finally paid 1000 million——

Make 100 million for the company.

It's not that Lin Yuan is generous, but that he can't let the company really work for him for nothing. How can anyone sell a product made after months of hard work to others at a cost price that doesn't take into account the slightest profit margin?

I can feel at ease.

In fact, he suddenly decided to broadcast "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" on the Internet. Apart from not having confidence in the film's counterattack in the summer, Lin Yuan also had a deeper intention——

He wants popularity!

Lin Yuan has already figured out the reason why "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" can't be screened. This is the treatment that Sanwu movies should have. Since the first movie is destined to be unpopular, why bother to stare at the theaters? put it?

What should I do if I hit the street?

Lin Yuan still wants to let the company invest in making movies for him in the future. If the first movie fails, why should he let the company continue to invest in him? There is no reason for that.

So it's good to go online.

The threshold for net big is too low.

But it is precisely because the threshold of Internet University is low enough that "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" can attract more people's attention. This movie is really going to be released in theaters, and everyone's eyes are focused on those blockbuster movies. Who would buy a ticket to watch one? Three No Movies?

and so……

Just use "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" to gain popularity first, and then enter the theaters when there is a suitable opportunity. If this movie can be successful in the form of an online university, then even if Lin Yuan has such a little bit of qualifications, at least Everyone will recognize their identity as a screenwriter.

Not only Lin Yuan.

If this movie is really successful, the film's main creative team and actors will no longer be unknown tool people. When the time comes, the company will definitely support Lin Yuan's new film production.

It's not the company's fault.

Not to mention the theaters.

Just forced by reality.

However, when Yi Chenggong learned that "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" would not be shown in theaters, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Every director has a theater dream.
