Chapter 102 What is fair?

Geng Zhi asked several artists not to go out for the time being, but he had to go out today.

He had made an appointment with Li Qi just now and went to Dingyun at half past nine.

He wanted to disguise himself and go out, but when he thought that wearing sunglasses and mask wouldn't it be more attractive? So he simply came downstairs so openly.

He opened the door, and the reporter surrounded him, and more than a dozen mobile phones came to him: "Geng Zhi..." "Geng Zhi..."...

A dozen people asked questions together, which made Geng Zhi feel his head swell. He quickly raised his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone. Please listen to me."

After the reporters were quiet, he said: "Dear reporters, I want to go to Dingyun Group to discuss the subsequent release schedule of "Human and Ghost". Time is very tight, so I can't answer your questions for the time being. We will arrange a brief press conference to answer your questions that you are interested in later. Moreover, if you are here, it will also affect the residents here. Please disperse first."

He said and squeezed out.

When he was determined to squeeze out, no matter how many reporters there were, he couldn't stop him.

The reporter clearly felt that he had blocked people, but Geng Zhi put his hand on their shoulders with a smile, and they were easily squeezed away.

A reporter asked unwillingly: "Mr. Geng, can you disclose where and when will the press conference be held?"

Geng Zhi walked out and said, "You can block me on my personal online social account. I will reply one by one before 2 pm to notify you of the specific time and location. The time schedule is at least 3 pm."

It is obvious that it can't be blocked, and since Geng Zhi responded positively to the issue of time and location, the reporter is not afraid that he will miss the vote.

Geng Zhi walked out of the crowd, stopped a taxi, and left.

Because he went out early, Geng Zhi was not late. Qin Xiaoruo saw him coming, and although it was only 9:18, he still reported to Li Qi immediately.

Li Qi didn't deliberately let Geng Zhi wait this time.

As soon as Geng Zhi sat down, Qin Xiaoruo brought in a cup of tea.

Li Qi signaled Qin Xiaoruo to go out first, and then asked Geng Zhi: "Mr. Geng, you just said on the phone that you want to talk about the movie release arrangement. Are you dissatisfied with the current arrangement?"

Geng Zhi knew that she didn't like nonsense, so he said straight to the point: "That's right, Mr. Li. Now "The Love of Man and Ghost" has been nominated for ten Golden Dragon Awards. I wonder what Ding Yun thinks about this. If he won some awards, will the release time of "The Love of Man and Ghost" be extended?"

Li Qi seemed to have thought about this problem a long time ago. She immediately said: "There is little possibility of extending the release time!"

This is a bit different from what Geng Zhi thought before: "Why do you say so?"

"Winning an award may stimulate the box office for two or three days. But whether it is a director or an actor, it was not very popular before. Moreover, the audience of art films is much less than that of commercial films. In the past four weeks, fans who are willing to watch in the theater should have already watched it."

Geng Zhi thought it was not necessarily the case. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, how many more episodes do you think this movie can be screened every day after the fourth week?"

Li Qi really didn't think about this problem. She estimated it in her mind and said, "If she could win one or two heavy awards, four weeks later, maybe she could arrange more than 500,800 games every day."

Now big data analysis is very good, and most of the cinema screening halls are worth more than one hundred or dozens of seats. It is easy to adjust the number of screenings to achieve a certain attendance rate.

"Then we can extend the release time of the Dingyun Theater. The box office share of the last week will be discussed."

Li Qi felt that this idea was not without operationality. She thought about it for a while and said, "If the theaters can get 80% of the share, I can consider it!"

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "Yes."

In his opinion, Li Qi showed mercy this time.

Even if it is a normal step-by-step share, the theaters can still get more than 80% of the share in the fifth week. Now Geng Zhi has something to ask for her. Even if she asks for 90%, he will not object.

He didn't even mention the Dingyun Gang's "Human Ghost" event. "Human Ghost" is a small investment, and winning any award is a selling point. In addition, as long as "Human Ghost" can win any heavy award, it will not only stimulate domestic box office, but also have more publicity elements when it is released overseas.

As long as Li Qi is not stupid, she will definitely do this.

Moreover, the premise of extending the release time is that "Human Ghost" won a heavy prize at the Golden Dragon Award. If not, there would be no release time in the fifth week. What they talked about before turned into nonsense.

Geng Zhi didn't think Li Qi would have thought of those.

The domestic box office is already surprisingly good, and Geng Zhi has also begun to care about the overseas distribution situation: "Mr. Li, don't know how well the overseas distribution is prepared?"

"I have already negotiated with overseas partners and are contacting theaters." Li Qi smiled. She thought that she was the only one who cared about this. "I was just about to contact you. We hope to get the theme song of the movie overseas."

Geng Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Leave it to Dingyun for distribution?"

"If Geng's agency has this ability, we can't interfere."

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, I can authorize Dingyun. But, the issuance cost?" He really doesn't have the ability to do such a thing now.

Li Qi said: "The two sides are evenly divided!"

This woman is really unwilling to eat at all, and Geng Zhi is too lazy to fight for this thing: "Okay."

"This should be done as soon as possible. "My Heart Eternal" is an English song and is more easily accepted by European and American countries. And this song is very good. As long as it works well, it may cause a sensation."

"I will have someone to make it out when I go back. Since I have authorized it to Dingyun, I feel at ease."

"Since that's the case, we will try our best to win the Best Movie Song Award for this song." Li Qi smiled and said. "In addition, we will also strive for the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress. Best Director depends on luck. As for other technical awards, we will also try our best."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Qi nodded, accepting his thanks, and said, "You already know the box office data last week."

Speaking of box office, Geng Zhi smiled and said, "I have seen it before coming." In eleven days, the box office of nearly 400 million is far inferior to those blockbusters. But what else is Geng Zhi dissatisfied with "Human Ghost" and the box office of 400 million?

"According to our evaluation, the final box office should be more than 600 million. My idea is to hold a celebration party after more than 500 million."

Geng Zhi frowned and asked, "In the name of Dingyun?"

"In the name of both parties, we Dingyun can do our best. If you are not at ease, you can also work together."

Geng Zhi thought for a while and said, "The celebration meeting should be held." It should not take too long for more than 500 million yuan. You can add some noise to "Human Ghost" before the opening of the Golden Dragon Award. "But I can't stand by and watch this matter."

"Yeah!" Li Qi smiled a little and said, "I will contact you in this matter."

Geng Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Li, if the release time is extended, the box office sharing time will be delayed, right?"

"Mr. Geng urgently needs money? If that's the case, you can also divide the box office in the first four weeks first."

Geng Zhi didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to, but this is exactly what he wanted: "Thank you!"

"The box office in the first four weeks should be received within one week after other theaters are available. I will notify you after the account is received." She can urge her, or get the share a few days earlier.

In box office allocation, the interests of the producer, publisher, theater, cinema to which the theater belongs, the contracted cinema, and taxes are involved.

In order to ensure the interests of all parties, the film association also has regulations on box office sharing operations.

The Film Association has a database, and the box office of each theater chain is clear at a glance, and the sharing is just a calculator. Moreover, the box office is real-time income and deposited into accounts jointly supervised by the Film Association and related institutions.

When any theater release contract expires, the box office generated by the theater will be distributed within one week. This can eliminate the phenomenon of buying box office, and it can also eliminate the problem that some producers are unable to get the share, or sign the cinema to make a decision.

The entire industry can also focus more on supervising the issue of signing cinemas stealing box offices.
