Chapter 569 Do you know how many people are willing to pay for you?

Just when Lin Fan was rushing to make progress on "The Legend of White Snake", "A Chinese Ghost Story" finally passed review!

Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia had a clear goal, which was to target the summer season in July. The film would be approved at this time, which was just the right time to ensure sufficient time for promotion and marketing.

The only thing to worry about is the number of films available.

Throughout the summer, not only Lin Fan is eyeing this, but many commercial blockbusters and science fiction blockbusters are drooling over this piece of meat! Even though Lin Fan now has the bonus of overseas achievements and its own popularity, compared with those commercial blockbusters, "A Chinese Ghost Story" still does not have much advantage.

It is not very difficult, but extremely difficult to get enough screenings from those blockbusters.

This was the first time Lin Fan had participated in something like this, and it was a field he was completely unfamiliar with. He couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Our investment in this movie is only 10 million. Among the actors, except for Teacher Cheng, the others are either not famous or completely new..."

And the most important thing is that Lin Fan plays several important roles including director, screenwriter, composer, male lead, etc. Except for music, where he is considered an expert, he is a novice in other fields.

It would be fine if I didn’t care about it at ordinary times, but now that the film is about to be promoted and scheduled, I suddenly feel uneasy.

No matter how good your movie is, it still needs people to promote it! Look at "A Chinese Ghost Story"...

No famous directors!

No big name actors!

No hundreds of millions of investment!

The screenwriter himself is an idol who came from a talent show. To put it bluntly, if Lin Fan hadn't become famous now, the theaters would probably not even bother to show a movie like this! Now that Lin Fan is supporting the film, the theaters will give it some face and arrange a screening schedule, but don't expect a large number of screenings.

In this regard, Yang Hongxia said: "When it comes to scheduling films, one must first look at the quality of the film and secondly, the amount of money spent by the production company."

Lin Fan was shocked: "Can it be like this?"

Of course! There are very few things in this circle that can't be solved with money. If there are, just add money! "Besides, it's not the theaters that ultimately determine the box office, but the audience!" Yang Hongxia looked at Lin Fan with a smile, "Do you know how many loyal fans you have now? Do you know how many people are willing to pay for you? Do you know how many people are waiting to spend money on you?"

Lin Fan: ...Should I say I know, or should I say I don't know? Yang Hongxia took charge: "In short, leave everything to me, just make time for it."

Lin Fan sighed: "Schedule, the people in the "Legend of the White Snake" crew are now calling me Lin Baopi..."

It’s all because of the rush to meet deadlines!

I had taken a month off to promote my music abroad, so I had already fallen behind in progress. Recently, the entire crew has been working non-stop, and they wish they could continue filming day and night.

If he squeezed out his schedule for the promotion of the movie, Lin Fan was really afraid that the crew would go on strike to protest! ...

You Min is the representative of Huamei Cinemas this time, and came to Shanghai to attend the screening of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".

To be honest, You Min was not optimistic about this film.

It’s not that You Min thinks the box office of this movie will be terrible. On the contrary, every theater representative who came to watch the film today had to admit one fact, that is, no matter how this movie is made, its box office will be considerable.

Because of Lin Fan's current popularity, no matter what the movie itself is like, his fans will be willing to pay for it and contribute to the box office.

Of course, this is only the first time this happens.

If Lin Fan continues to make bad movies to make money next time, fans may not buy it. But unfortunately, that is the next time, this is the first time.

This is Lin Fan's first movie, whether as a leading actor, director, or even screenwriter. In short, this movie has too much meaning, and fans are willing to pay for these "firsts".

But You Min hated this kind of thing very much.

Because in the film industry, there are countless good movies, good directors, and good actors who work hard to make a movie, but due to various reasons, either the movie does not perform well at the box office or is simply not released.

But idols like Lin Fan can easily make a movie and release it casually. After the release, his fans may control the comments and say things like "It's great to have this level for his first movie!" "Give newcomers like Lin Fan a chance, don't be too harsh on him" and so on.

In the end, maybe the movie score can be above 4 points, and Lin Fan may see that the movie makes money and make a second and third part until it stops making money.

It is people like this who disrupt the film market, forcing investors to compromise with traffic, resulting in more and more bad films being made.

Yes, You Min came here with prejudice.

To be honest, You Min didn't want to come at all, and there was no need for her to come. The company had already decided how much time to give Lin Fan, and sent a representative to attend the screening. In fact, it was just a formality. What the company really cared about were several other big movies that were also scheduled for the summer season.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

You Min was not qualified to go there and could only be sent here, so she felt resentful and gave "A Chinese Ghost Story" a negative score based on preconceived notions.

There are many people like You Min. Huaxia Cinemas has a lot of them, but only representatives from about 20 cinema chains came today. Among them, at least 70% of them are like You Min.

There are only a few people who come to watch the film with real sincerity.

Yang Hongxia saw it clearly, but she also knew that this was normal and a process she had to go through. Similarly, Yang Hongxia did not expect that a movie could completely reverse the prejudice of these theater representatives against Lin Fan.

How can it be better to convince you with my strength? No matter how unwilling you are, you have to greet me with a smile and beg me to cooperate with you.

Yang unconsciously caught Lin Fan's stinginess and smiled kindly: "Thank you very much for coming to the screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Without further ado, I will get straight to the point. Although this movie is our first attempt, we are very confident in it.

I won't go into details. Whether the quality is good or not is up to the professionals to judge. So, I won't bother you anymore. Please enjoy the movie!"

There was sparse applause at the scene, and the perfunctory meaning was obvious.

Yang Hongxia didn't care and stepped down from the stage. The staff also turned off the lights in the screening room and the big screen lit up.

A blue planet, which occupied 70% of its color, slowly tilted and rotated and appeared on the big screen. A red star fell from space to a specific position on the planet, and the three words "Earthling" slowly appeared.

This is the movie title designed by Lin Fan for the Earthling Studio, secretly missing his home planet and his motherland.

Have you shopped? Have you found your partner? Has anyone given me a ticket? I've been to the hospital, but the doctor didn't give me a clear answer. The CT scan showed that my brain was fine, but the severe pain told me that my brain was going to stop working. I'm going to ask for leave tomorrow. Will you approve it? o(╥﹏╥)o 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
