Reboot your life

However, such fast and crazy fame is not all gratifying.

As the saying goes: 'Some people are happy while others are sad'.There are also people who are very difficult to become famous overnight.Yi An is one of them.

It's really a worry for a family who doesn't know each other. Only then did Yi An finally understand the troubles of becoming a celebrity.

As soon as he appears in some public places, anywhere, anyway, it won't take long anyway, one or two reporters will follow him behind him, and then he will start to shoot wildly with the camera, making him feel that there is nothing wrong with him. No privacy.And with the passage of time, the number of journalists is still increasing.

Moreover, the reporters in America were much more capable than those he remembered.No matter how twisted Yi An is, he can't get rid of them.

"Haha, congratulations, Yi. You are already a celebrity. I've heard about it. Now, there are many media and reporters paying attention to you every day." The chairman of Feixiang Film Company In the office, Hayward looked at Yi An, who was obviously depressed, and said with a big laugh.

"Uh... don't say those sarcastic remarks anymore. Do you look happy with my current appearance?" Yi An raised his finger, then pointed at himself and said.

"Now when I eat and sleep, there may be reporters watching. During this period of time, I am like a facility in a public place, and anyone can see it." Speaking of this, the depressed look on Yi An's face The color is even worse.

"Hahaha!" Hearing what Yi An said, Hayward couldn't help laughing even more.

"Hey, if you laugh again, I'll be really angry." Seeing Hayward still smiling like that, Yi An couldn't help saying bitterly.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore. Talking about Yi, you really spoiled the fun." Seeing Yi An's expression, Hayward shrugged, and then muttered.However, he didn't smile anymore.

"It doesn't matter. Yi, you will get used to it gradually in the future. After all, with your current talent, you will definitely become more and more famous." After no longer laughing, Hayward explained to Yi An .

"Ah, is that right? Then I will present you with auspicious words." Regarding things like becoming more and more famous, Yi An couldn't deny it.After all, if this is the case, he not only has the director experience and skills of the "original world", but also has the "plug-in memory" of the future of this world.

After chatting for a while, Hayward got to the point.Hayward straightened his expression, and then said: "Yi, look, shouldn't our overseas promotion of "The Blair Witch" start now?"

In fact, Hayward, as the top person in charge of Flying Films, has the right to do things like film overseas distribution.However, the current situation is very special after all. The value of the movie "The Blair Witch" is so great that Hayward himself has no way to make decisions.Also, after all, Yi An is now the owner of the Flying Film Company, and he directed the movie "The Blair Witch" himself, so he should be asked about such things first.

"This..." Yi An heard Hayward say this, then thought for a moment in silence, then nodded and said: "Yes, we can start the promotion of overseas distribution now. But Hayward, you can do it Be mentally prepared."

"What psychological preparation?" Hayward asked curiously when he heard Yi An say this.

"Of course, it's because the overseas income of "The Blair Witch" is not well prepared." Yi An spread his hands, and then said: "After all, because overseas now know the methods we use in the United States, so such methods are It can no longer be used. Moreover, because the scope of 'FACE' Facebook is only limited to the United States, it has not started to spread to the whole world, so overseas propaganda can only be carried out step by step."

After a pause, Yang went on to say: "So, although overseas places are very large. Places such as Europe and Asia have great economic value, but because of the revenue sharing overseas. Therefore, overseas The box office may not be able to catch up with the current box office in North America, or even a slight loss."

Yi An is right to say this, although he knows the original "The Blair Witch", its income is very good, even overseas.But now it’s not the same as before. The current overseas is like a piece of virgin land for "The Blair Witch". It has never been mined at all, and there are still many changes in it, so Yi An doesn't have much confidence.

And when it comes to this, we must mention the division of the movie.

For American movies, its profits are mainly composed of the difference between the box office and the cost of the movie, the sales of DVDs after the movie is released, and the viewing of paid movies.

Among them, the largest proportion is the income from the movie box office.

For movies, his production cost includes two parts: film production fee and publicity fee.Generally speaking, the promotion fee of a movie should be about half of the production fee of the movie.In other words, the total cost of the movie is about [-] times the production fee of the movie.

As for the subsequent box office, not all the box office is completely received, and the producer and distributor will be given as much.There is also a share of the movie theater line.

Generally speaking, producers and distributors will sign contracts with theaters to determine the proportion of accounts, most of which are divided according to [-].In other words, the revenue that movie theaters can account for should be about [-]% of the total box office.The rest is the profits of film producers and distributors.Of course, there is another kind of this general division mode.It is to directly buy out the right to show in cinemas.Such a sharing model is generally favored by small and medium-sized investment films.

The share just mentioned is only the domestic share model in the United States. In addition to the more important share for movie theaters, the overseas share also has some third-party profits from the intermediary party.

Ever since, even if the overseas area is very vast, the profits it can get are not as much as imagined.It even goes so far as to say that if you are not careful, you may lose money.

"Well, I know that." After hearing what Yi An said, Hayward nodded calmly, indicating that he had considered this point: "Actually, the focus of our overseas release this time is not to be able to How much money we earn, our focus is on the relationship network."

"people network?"

"That's right." Hayward nodded, and then continued: "Just like we are in the United States now, our Flying Films Company used to have a complete network of relationships, but the coverage of this network is too small. As a result, many things have not been fully developed. Just like this time, if this time when "The Blair Witch" premiered this time, our relationship network could be a little bigger. It was not like that at the premiere, a little If there are only [-] cinemas showing it, then I believe that our current box office performance will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

"So, our purpose this time is to broaden our overseas distribution network and achieve closer cooperation with those overseas cinemas." Hayward concluded.

'Well, to put it bluntly, you're still resentful that you didn't make more money in the first place, right? ' Yi An rolled his eyes in his heart, and then complained.

In the next hour or so, Yi An was planning the overseas release with Hayward in detail.

But even though he said this, it was actually just Hayward talking endlessly by himself.Yi An, a novice who doesn't know anything about the company's development, just nods calmly to affirm what Hayward said.

After all, when it comes to developing the company, Yi An can only give them a general direction that can adapt to the future.As for the details, people like Yi An who are not in this industry don't know.

After discussing the issue of overseas distribution, Yi An let out a breath of relief, and then said, "That Hayward..."

"what happened?"

"The purpose of my coming to you this time is not these things, but some other things."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Hearing what Yi An said, Hayward quickly turned serious, and then carefully listened to what Yi An said afterwards.

"Well... I'm here this time to tell you about my second movie..." Yi An opened his mouth and explained the purpose of his visit this time.
