Many netizens have begun to learn about these newcomers. Although they are called newcomers, in fact, except for Qi Luan and Wen Runruan, everyone else in the entire crew has basically had a few small roles to a greater or lesser extent.
The response on the Internet for Wen Runruan's dance and the filming of "Ten Killing Orders" was extremely positive. Originally, relying on the connections he had accumulated, he could only get a screening in one cinema, and it was a pitifully small amount. However, after this incident came out, Xie Jinzhi received invitations from many people.
Naturally, there are some theaters that, after watching the trailer and behind-the-scenes footage of "Ten Killing Orders", their keen market perception led them to choose the debut work of newcomer Xie Jinzhi.
But most people give it a lower screening schedule because basically no one is willing to take a big risk to use a newcomer.
But there is only one cinema that is different. The 30% screening time given by this cinema is far more than the screening time given by all other cinemas.
Xie Jinzhi and Qian Duo couldn't believe it when they received the news. This cinema is the ace cinema. Basically, the movies with a higher screening rate are those with good reputation and popular among the audience.
All the credit for this goes to the general manager of Ace Cinema, a woman, a cinema manager whose acumen far exceeds that of most people.
Because she has scheduled many excellent films in succession, she is valued by Ace and her salary has increased again and again. She is definitely the ace of Ace Cinema - Ji Geng.
Xie Jinzhi was naturally delighted to be given such a high screening schedule by such a person. In addition, Wangpai's influence across the country and Ji Geng's unconventional scheduling made everyone know Wangpai's name.
Looking at the Ace's requirements, Qian Duo couldn't help but exclaim, "So, this means we've been noticed? As newcomers?"
After flipping through the contract faxed by Wangpai, Xie Jinzhi shook his head: "She did some research. She must have watched all the award-winning films of 2016. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given it such a high screening schedule."
Xie Jinzhi had more or less knowledge about Ji Geng. He was able to get more than 1% of the screening schedule from Jizhi before because he had cooperated with Jizhi for business reasons before, and he also knew some information about him before.
Even the most experienced people reminded Xie Jinzhi that he could take the movie to talk to the ace Ji Geng. Later, Xie Jinzhi naturally went to find out more about it. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will naturally be invincible in every battle.
But before Xie Jinzhi could find her, she was already found by the other party. Xie Jinzhi looked at the contract and said in amazement: "This contract is the best treatment for us."
After hearing what Xie Jinzhi said, Qian Duo also pulled over to take a look. After a while, he nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's simply unbelievable."
Now Ji Geng already had an image of being very courageous in the minds of both of them. Xie Jinzhi took out a pen, signed it, and faxed the contract back again.
He glanced at Qian Duo, who was still sitting in the office. "The film is in the final stages of editing. You can submit it for review and see when it can be released."
But Xie Jinzhi always felt that this time should be smooth, but it must be ruled out that if a movie is made with traffic, it is very likely that it will be suppressed. Under the current capital situation, most people are very biased towards movies that bring their own traffic.
Never mind. I can’t think so much before it even starts.
A contract was slammed onto the table with a deafening thud. The man, with a red face, pointed at the confident woman sitting beside him and said viciously, "Ji Geng! What do you mean? Lowering the screening schedule for 'Look Up at the Stars' to give it to a debut film by an unknown new director?"
Even though the man pointed at him and scolded him like that, Ji Geng, who was sitting on the stool, was not angry at all. Looking at his angry look, Ji Geng just found it a little funny.
"Li Qing, didn't you watch the news?" She said this with a strong sense of sarcasm. As soon as she said it, Li Qing felt that he was being ridiculed.
For so many years, Li Qing has been suppressed by a woman named Ji Geng. Naturally, he is unwilling to do so, but he does not have the same keen sense as Ji Geng. It can even be said that he has gone against the public opinion and scheduled many movies, but the attendance rate was not high in the end.
But the reason why he can stay in Ace for so long is because Li Qing likes to curry favor. Many senior executives of Ace like Li Qing very much, but although they like him, they are also clear-headed. This is why Ace treats Ji Geng so well.
"You...don't forget that 'Look Up at the Stars' is a movie starring the popular young actor Lin Yue and the popular young actress Song Yuting. The number of their fans alone is enough to warrant more screenings. Why are you reducing the screenings of 'Look Up at the Stars' by 20% to give it to a newcomer with no hope?" Li Qing had naturally been dissatisfied with Ji Geng for a long time, and now he was even more excited trying to persuade Ji Geng.
But no matter what Li Qing said, Ji Geng still looked as if it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care at all. He even listened to every word Li Qing said.
In fact, another reason why Li Qing was so excited was that the director of "Looking at the Stars" found him early and tried to get more screenings. Now the 50% of screenings were directly reduced to 30%, giving the same screening time as "Looking at the Stars" to a small movie.
Li Qing was naturally angry about Ji Geng's behavior, but even so, he had no way to deal with Ji Geng's condition. Even though there were other senior executives sitting in the conference room, he knew that no one would object.
How is it possible that Li Qing didn't see the trending topic, and even got a hot search. In just two trending searches, the number of fans reached nearly 10 million. No one can do it, but this newcomer did it.
Even for the fact that she signed a contract with the agency behind her, Wangpai even wanted to do her a favor. With the unanimous praise on the Internet and Qiyuan, the top management naturally agreed with Ji Geng's decision.
It is said that this new director caught the attention of these senior executives mostly because the casting of Wen Runruan and Xie Jinzhi really met the requirements of all the characters themselves. So after Ji Geng showed them the trailer in order to convince the senior executives, all the senior executives had no objections.
Naturally, she overcame all objections and secured a high-schedule screening. Ji Geng was confident that once released, this movie would become a miracle and a groundbreaking film.
She could see that Wen Ruanruan's acting skills were the product of years of accumulation, but she had never seen her filming since she was born.
As for Xie Jinzhi, a person whom he understood better than Wen Ruan and Ruan, Ji Geng naturally watched his award-winning short film in 2016. Whether from the plot or the shooting techniques, Xie Jinzhi's control was obviously far beyond the maturity that he should have at his age.
Ji Geng chose "Ten Killing Orders" partly because of Xie Jinzhi's script. She could even guess Xie Jinzhi's ambition, but it must be said that this boy has his capital.
