Well-known distribution companies in China include Enlight Media, Huayi Brothers, China Film Group, Bona Film Group, Maoyan, Beijing Culture, and Wuzhou Distribution, among others.
Hiring a distribution company for promotion and distribution means paying a commission.
Without power or influence, it's difficult to negotiate a suitable price at the negotiating table.
Xu Zheng has experience in producing films.
Getting him to do this will make things much easier and more efficient.
Without delay, I immediately made a phone call.
"Ring ring~~~"
"Ring ring~~~"
Xu Zheng, who was playing golf, suddenly received a call from Jiang Chen and wondered what Jiang Chen wanted to talk to him about.
"Hello!"
"Director Jiang, what do you want with me?"
Jiang Chen: "I'd like to ask you to contact the distribution company!"
Xu Zheng was taken aback: "The movie is finished?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
Xu Zheng: "Wow, it's been less than a month, right? Post-production is finished so quickly?"
Jiang Chen: "We don't need special effects. Just a simple adjustment to the color tone, background music, noise, rhythm, atmosphere, and subtitles will suffice!"
That makes sense when you think about it.
A slice-of-life movie doesn't need to be overly complicated.
The simpler, the better.
Xu Zheng: "If we find a distribution company, we'll need to pay a commission. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Jiang Chen gave him the impression of being extremely stingy.
When he wanted to invest in this movie, Jiang Chen refused.
This shows just how greedy Jiang Chen is.
Jiang Chen: "I have no power, no influence, and no experience, so of course I need the help of the distribution company to promote this movie."
Xu Zheng: "So you're not omnipotent after all! I thought you could do everything!"
Jiang Chen: "How could that be! If I were omnipotent, I wouldn't have failed in my business in the first place!"
Xu Zheng: "Alright, I'll help you make some contact. As for the price, you can discuss it slowly!"
Jiang Chen: "Could you help me negotiate the price too?"
Xu Zheng: "Why?"
Jiang Chen: "Since you've dealt with them before, you should have some discounts available. This can save you some money!"
Xu Zheng: "Why should I help you?"
Jiang Chen: "I've already increased your salary by 10%, what more could you want?"
Xu Zheng: "I'd only be willing to do it if the price increased by at least 15%!"
Adding another 5% would amount to several hundred thousand.
Compared to the box office revenue of over a billion, this amount of money is nothing.
Jiang Chen: "Alright, I'll increase your pay by 15%!"
Xu Zheng: "That's not bad!"
Jiang Chen: "The rest is up to you. The sooner it's released, the better!"
Xu Zheng: "Okay, I will get this movie released as quickly as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen lay back in his office chair, feeling incredibly relaxed.
Now that he had finished his work, he could go do other things.
Bored, he went online to check entertainment news and found that the second round of the "I Am a Singer" ranking competition would be broadcast tonight.
This episode was the one where he first performed on stage.
The song they performed was "After I'm Gone".
It's unclear how the audience will react.
He wanted to stake out the location, browse Weibo, and see what the audience really thought.
...
In the evening, "I Am a Singer" aired on time.
Fans have already tuned in to Hunan TV.
They were all stunned when Jiang Chen appeared.
Dressed in his performance costume and looking glamorous, Jiang Chen looked even more handsome.
That kind of handsome and dashing demeanor is etched into his very bones.
It is impossible to hide.
"Holy crap, that's so cool!"
"No wonder he was the center of attention!"
"I was just as stunned as the audience!"
"The moment he appeared, the aura of other stars instantly dimmed!"
As the saying goes, there's no harm in comparison!
"I feel that on this stage, he can stand out from the crowd and dominate the scene!"
G.E.M., Bibi Zhou, Shen Mengchen, and Wu Xin are also set to appear on "I Am a Singer" tonight.
When Jiang Chen appeared, they realized just how intense the audience's reaction had been.
The entire audience was astonished.
Clearly, no one expected Jiang Chen to be so handsome.
G.E.M.: "It was truly shocking to see on TV!"
Zhou Bichang sang: "Tall and handsome, who wouldn't love him?"
Shen Mengchen: "He's practically my dream girl!"
Wu Xin: "I love him to death, he can't get out of my mind!"
Singers such as Han Lei, Zhang Yu, Cao Ge, Wei Wei, Luo Qi, and Zhang Jie are also tuned in for tonight's "I Am a Singer".
After Jiang Chen appeared, they felt that the focus of the entire venue was on him.
It seems that only Jiang Chen is worth discussing.
Han Lei: "It feels like everyone's watching him this season of 'I Am a Singer'!"
Zhang Yu: "We've all become mere supporting characters!"
Zhang Jie: "We've all become background scenery!"
To be honest, as top-tier singers, they are all a little bothered by it.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
It's because they're not as handsome as Jiang Chen, and they can't beat him.
Since they are strong, they are naturally admired by most people.
Director Hong Tao closely monitors the viewership data after the broadcast.
After Jiang Chen appeared on screen, the ratings soared to their peak, breaking records once again.
This person is truly a celebrity with a huge following.
With him on the show, the ratings for this season of "I Am a Singer" are guaranteed.
"Thank goodness we invited him to sing!"
"Otherwise, the ratings won't hold up this season!"
Yu Wenwen, Yang Mi, Guan Xiaotong, and Wu Jinyan will certainly be eager to see Jiang Chen's charm.
Although Jiang Chen had other women in his heart, it didn't stop them from appreciating his singing.
