Chapter 102: Failure of Communication with Theaters



Since Zhang Songwen has been the head of the film department, he has been keeping an eye on the post-production.

Of course, Cheng Hailu was also there. After all, this was the first movie and there could be no mistakes.

There may not be box office success, but the quality must be up to standard, only then can you carve out your own path.

Suddenly someone walked in and said something to Cheng Hailu that shocked him.

What? Communication with the theater failed.

That is, even if the movie is made now.

It can't be released either. It's definitely due to capital suppression. It's so abominable.

Cheng Hailu did not give up and called the heads of major cinema chains one by one, but no one answered.

It is obvious that they were all bribed, or joined forces to suppress it.

He clenched his fists, feeling powerless. He had faced such a dilemma before, and only with the help of some bigwigs he was able to avoid being banned.

Now that he has entered Baofu Group, what should he do?

This problem was beyond his ability to solve, so he called Mr. Qiu.

This explains the current situation, where there may be no theaters that can screen their films.

Mr. Qiu was very happy to hear this. Isn't this better? He thought about it again.

Now is the stage of burning out special effects. If the film cannot be released, the enthusiasm of the team will definitely be affected.

It is even possible that in order to save costs, not so much money will be put into special effects, then the plan would be wasted.

No, no, we have to think of a way.

Or you can buy a local cinema chain yourself, spend some money, and only show your company's movies.

In this way, the box office is very limited, and at the same time, the money spent on special effects can be spent, while ensuring the worst box office effect.

"Director Cheng, don't worry. If there is no theater chain, we can buy one and the movie will definitely be released. Don't worry, I'll find someone to take care of this."

Cheng Hailu was stunned for a moment. How could it be done this way?

But it's also true that if other theaters refuse to show my film, Mr. Qiu can just buy or build a theater chain. That's definitely a big deal.

As expected of Mr. Qiu, his way of solving problems is so unique.

Moreover, when releasing movies in the future, we will not have to worry about the so-called suppression from other capitals.

Because the movie is wholly owned, how can you suppress it? The cinema is yours, how can you suppress it?

Cheng Hailu was suddenly full of motivation. What the hell was that crappy capital? It was nothing in front of President Qiu. Just put it aside.

One day, all these means of suppression will become ineffective and become a joke.

...

Jia Fenghuo's father was drinking tea in the office and chatting with the bosses of major theater chains, talking about the benefits of jointly suppressing Baofu Group.

After all, he is a high-end person in the business world, and everyone knows that the quality of the movies shot by Director Nuolan will definitely not be bad.

In order to obtain the screening rights for the film directed by Nuolan, they must of course cooperate with the big boss Jia Yueting, otherwise they will easily be kicked out and lose a lot of money.

Jia Yueting is leading this film project, and of course he is the main investor of "Superman: Mission: Impossible".

Because the producers are sometimes unable to afford all the investments, multiple investors are needed. How these investors share the box office depends on the status and priority of each investor in the total investment amount. They are generally divided into main investors and follow-up investors.

Generally speaking, money sharing refers to the specific division among exhibitors, distributors and producers. Since publicity and distribution costs are relatively high, the producer has to deduct a certain amount of cost, and the others must participate in the profit sharing.

And the bulk of the profits are divided among the specific screening venues and distribution theaters. After all, if you want the horse to run, it needs to eat grass.

Jia Yueting was still talking about how great this movie was and how the results it would achieve would be quite shocking and might even break the box office record.

Of course, this is just talk. When it comes to commercial films, it still depends on luck.

Because you don’t know the audience’s tastes or where their opinions are going.

Maybe some people would say that if we release more promotional videos, more trailers, and do more publicity, the box office will definitely be good.

Of course, it is undeniable that these publicity methods are effective, but a phenomenal movie cannot be created by publicity alone.

For example, you read an article promoting a movie, saying how good the movie is, but then you go see it and find yourself disappointed.

Would you recommend it to your friends? Of course not, and you won’t think about watching it again, which will cause the movie’s reputation to decline, leading to a drop in movie data.

A truly hit movie is one that the audience will want to watch again after watching it once, or will want to recommend it to others and take them to watch it again.

Only when such a group of people continue to spread the word, coupled with official promotion, can it trigger public opinion and make people think that this movie is indeed good.

During Jia Yueting's meeting, someone's phone rang. He said sorry and then left to answer the call.

The call was made by Cai Wenyin. After answering the phone, this person became a little hesitant, because doing so would seem to offend Jia Yue.
