Chapter 519 No cash or card?(2/2)
Speaking of the new script, Han Jingjing became interested: "By the way, Boss Wu, do you really want to make this movie?"
"Isn't this nonsense? If I didn't want to take pictures, would I still come to explore the road with you?"
"how?"
"You think the future of this movie is unclear?"
Han Jingjing nodded: "One is that the cost is too small. Can such a movie really go to theaters?"
"I know that Ms. Youlan has the whole story. There should be no problem in investing in the film, but if you want it to go to theaters, a good distribution company is also necessary."
"The theater chain is in deep trouble, and it's definitely not the case that you can get good film schedules with strong investment."
As soon as he said this, Wu Di looked at Han Jingjing with admiration: "Okay, I didn't expect that you don't know anything about movies."
"Of course."
"I really don't understand anything, how dare I be your assistant?"
Wu Di: It seems that this assistant does not need to know anything about movies...
Not a broker.
"Look, for the two movies you made before, you only had to pay for it and star in it yourself. You didn't have to worry too much. That's because those two movies were originally considered big productions. In addition to investment, distribution had already been completed.
The joints have been opened up, so the theater chain will naturally give it face."
"Furthermore, those two movies have big names participating, whether they are Hua Ge, Sisi or Cifang, they are either popular stars or veteran superstars. They are the focus of the theater chain's attention.
Generally speaking, these people all have their own box office base."
"With them here, we can save more than half of the money spent on promotion and filming."
"But, look at what's in this video?"
Han Jingjing raised her fingers and began to list the shortcomings of Labyrinth: "First, the subject matter is limited. You know this. This type of movie is originally not popular in the film market. Even if it has a good reputation, it is only available online.
Those literary and artistic young people are very loud, but serious people who go to the cinema to watch movies have different tastes from these literary and artistic young people."
"How can they go to the cinema to watch a rural-themed movie?"
"Furthermore, it's a matter of leading the cast."
Speaking of this, Han Jingjing's eyes turned around Wu Di's body several times, and Wu Di felt that he was full of malice.
Is this...looking down on him?
"I might be able to invite you to Xiao Qi's place. I think it's quite good. At least you still have a certain reputation, which is better than that of a pure vegetarian."
"However, they definitely don't think so at the theater chain. Do you have box office appeal?"
"Even if Skin Change and The Master were released, you wouldn't have much fame and you would still have no appeal."
"Then what you mean is that you don't want me to accept this movie?"
Before Han Jingjing could finish her reasons, Wu Di interrupted her.
Jingjing shook her head hesitantly: "That's not what I meant."
"I have also read the script. The story is indeed very good. It can be considered a high-quality suspense script with some reasoning."
"This kind of script is very scarce in the current film market, and it does have a certain audience group."
"But, I'm always worried that once the movie is finished, will it be able to go to theaters?"
"First of all, the director is a newcomer, and it is impossible to expect him to make a difference in theaters."
"Then, we need to find a good distribution company and first of all promote the film. I think this step is even more important than investment."
"After all, as a work directed by a pure newcomer, the subject matter is not the theater chain's preference. Why would they assign it to you?"
"There are so many movies in the backlog every year. Serious monks have too much to eat. How can you possibly grab them?"
"You're right, this is indeed a problem."
If Han Jingjing hadn't reminded him, Wu Di would not have thought of this problem.
Film investment and film distribution are indeed two different things.
Negotiating with theater chains is mainly the task of the issuing company, while investment companies are often only responsible for investment, not necessarily distribution.
On this issue, skin change can set an example.
The movie "Skin Change" has received great attention since the beginning of filming. On the one hand, Zhang Feng also has face with the theaters. Without her working hard, the theaters will give up a certain amount of filming. At least,
There is absolutely no problem with going to theaters.
Furthermore, in order to achieve high box office, Zhang Feng also worked very hard and gave enough face to the theaters.
So many actors who can bring in box office revenue have been hired at once. With these actors here, the theater chain will have more confidence in the prospect of changing skins.
In other words, the difference between having a strong distribution company may be that it is only 20% of filming or 30% of filming.
In other words, no matter what, the movie "Reskin" still has a basis for filming.
Labyrinth is completely different. If it continues to maintain its current configuration, regardless of whether it can go to theaters, even if it does, 5% of the filming is considered good.
Burn high incense!
And where does the box office come from?
Isn’t it extracted from theater-produced films?
This is why theater chains are always so strong, and this is where their confidence comes from.
If the film is not made, even if it is a magical cast, the story is exquisite, and the production is excellent, the loss will still be lost.
Correspondingly, if there is a film production, a movie of average quality and not that outstanding can also achieve good box office results.
This is the current status of the film market.
After all, watching movies is a form of leisure and entertainment for modern people, and it also has certain rigid needs. Therefore, when they choose movies, they are actually not that picky.
Generally speaking, they watch whatever is shown in the cinema.
Whichever film has a higher production rate, they have a greater chance of watching a certain movie. Therefore, you can know that if there is no film production, there will be no box office.
Can the box office that other people get from 20% of their movies be compared to the box office that you get from 5% of your movies?
