Chapter 858: What are these costumes?(2/2)
"You don't even understand this?"
"I saw that you were very knowledgeable when you were busy with marketing and publicity, and I thought you understood everything. I was still waiting for you to ask me for money. After waiting and seeing no movement from you, I came to take a look.
"
"It turns out you really don't know!"
It would be too long to talk about this matter.
"Don't you want to book the venue and fight for the box office?"
What?
Private venue?
Is this a particular thing now?
Could it be that he misunderstood?
"You mean, let me pay for it myself?"
"Is it okay to start doing this now?"
"Of course!"
"Whether it's booking a theater or raking in box office, these tricks have been around for a long time, and it's not the first day that theater chains have done this."
"But ours is a literary film, the investment is not high, and it is not that commercial. It is not good to have such a full-scale battle now."
"It's not going well with public opinion either."
It's like this. As someone who has traveled through time in later generations, I am very familiar with the tricks in these theater movies.
He is also very aware of many methods that have not yet appeared.
The only difference is that the current atmosphere of public opinion still scorns this kind of behavior. To be honest, by around 2020, no matter theaters, film studios, or even ordinary audiences, they will be accustomed to various methods of movie gaming.
There is even a feeling that if other families do this, I would be a fool if I don’t.
All kinds of endless marketing behaviors and water injection behaviors are considered to be understandable. As long as the final box office results are good, or even most of the box office is real, then the small tricks in the early stage can be forgiven.
But now it is 2010. At this time, people generally have a negative attitude towards all kinds of unfair competition in movies.
Most people still think that movies are movies and a very pure career. Of course, making money is definitely also a very important part of commercial movies, especially theater movies.
However, everyone makes movies to make money. How can they invest so much money without knowing how much they will make?
That's a loss in vain.
Too strange.
Therefore, some relevant parties who realize the importance of using methods in advance will be caught and criticized by sharp-eyed people.
The treatment is really not very good despite the verbal and written criticism.
If it's a commercial film, that's fine. It might end up being a bad film in the end, but our labyrinth still prefers the category of artistic films. The investment was not high in the first place, and now there's basically no pressure to return the money.
Doing this is really superfluous.
"Wu Di, if you think like this, you are limited."
“What is there to fear about public opinion?”
"We are not a bad movie. Only bad movies use these methods, and they will be criticized if they are found out later. And the quality of our movies is guaranteed, so using small methods is also for the benefit of the theater chain.
If you pass the test, you can still attract more viewers. This is called reasonable marketing. What's wrong with it?"
"You are completely putting the cart before the horse!"
Putting the cart before the horse?
In other words, movie marketing must always be based on the quality of the movie. Only when the movie is good and the marketing is upscale can it easily achieve the desired effect.
But if the movie is marketed regardless of whether it is good or bad, it will definitely be counterattacked in the end. This is true from all aspects.
"How about it, you understand!"
"I understand, I understand everything this time."
"When it comes to money, although the more the better, I have also calculated the size of the movie Labyrinth. It is still difficult to get over 100 million. Besides, for such a small-budget movie, it is difficult to get over 100 million.
The box office is also an easy target for opponents."
"We need to not only improve the box office, but also make the box office results more reasonable. This is the first priority."
"you're right."
Ranmasanti, who originally wanted to give the money with a wave of her hand, agreed with Wu Di this time.
"Then what do you mean..."
"I think as long as there are about five million, that's about right."
"so little?"
"Are you being too conservative?"
Look, this is my mother. She is not happy when she is not allowed to spend money. She even takes the initiative to ask for more money.
If Wu Di was still the same Wu Di a year ago, I'm afraid he would have drooled at the corner of his mouth and agreed excitedly by now.
However, Wu Di is now a very sensible filmmaker.
He understands the importance of scientific water injection.
"No way."
"If our current movie can reach the level of one billion, then it is understandable that we spend tens of millions of funds to prepare the film."
"Compared with the overall box office volume, this investment is actually just a drop in the bucket. It's nothing. It will be earned back in the end."
"Moreover, in the face of huge box office results, that little investment is not conspicuous at all, and it probably won't attract too many people's attention."
"But the size of our movie is really too small, and it simply can't support such a big market. If the final box office is only about 50 million to 60 million, then 5 million will account for one-tenth of it."
One."
"It's enough."
"So, your wish is only 50 million?"
"Isn't it possible to hit hundreds of millions?" Ms. Lan's eyes were shining, and she seemed to be more confident than Wu Di.
As for Wu Di, there is no hope in his eyes either.
"If it can reach hundreds of millions, that would naturally be the best, so we can make more money. However, we still have to do this with a cautious and optimistic attitude."
"Mom, five million is enough."
"Well, since you think so, then I'm relieved."
"Just do it yourself!"
"What?"
"Do I do it myself?"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
As soon as he heard that there was no hope of giving money, Wu Di immediately panicked and held on to Lan Masanti without letting go. Ms. Lan smiled slightly, and an inexplicable feeling of mischief emerged.
"yes."
"Seeing that my son is so promising and has such a plan, what should I worry about? I originally thought that if there are tens of millions of funds, then the burden cannot be placed on you alone. I will always have to pay."
"However, since you only need five million now, with your financial resources, you can solve the problem yourself, so I will not participate."
What?
