The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Peng Zhi said, let him avoid it for a while, why would Yan Zhangrong not want to?

In terms of publicity, when "Deadly Action" was completely crushed by "Martial Arts Master: War", he already had this idea. Later, when Dang Lian brought that idiot Ji Jiaxin together to do hype and publicity, there was a little bit of trouble.

But what about the waves? Compared with the majestic sea, the waves are just white dotted, and compared with the boundless blue, it is not worth mentioning.

In this situation, Yan Zhangrong, as the producer of the film, can't help but know that "Deadly Action" seriously failed to meet expectations in the early publicity, and judging from the current situation, there is almost no It may be promoting that Shanghai can make a comeback.

If the publicity is not enough, can the box office results meet expectations? Yan Zhangrong really didn't have such confidence.

However, the large publicity budget of "Deadly Action" has already been invested. Tens of millions of renminbi were spent, no matter how the publicity did not meet expectations, at least there was so much money.

But what if it doesn't show? If it is delayed, more than half of the publicity funds during this period will be wasted.

More importantly...

"Brother, I also know what you said, but it will be postponed... Where can I find another tens of millions to make a promotional budget for this movie...Brother, why don't the head office support it? After all It's all the work of the company."

Yan Zhangrong said so.

Hearing what he said, Peng Zhi immediately laughed: "Hey, I also went to the audition meeting for your film before, and the quality is very good. Sometimes the publicity is not as expected, and it doesn't come. After all, People's Dimension Entertainment is now in the limelight, and our movies are of good quality, and when they are released, we will definitely win by word of mouth."

Hearing Peng Zhi's words, Yan Zhangrong's mood sank for the most part.

He had hoped that the head office could provide financial assistance.

When he decided to spend his own investment in this movie, many people in the head office criticized it. After all, under the name of "Huayi Films", in fact, Yan Zhangrong's capital is in the majority, and the majority of the film's profits will be with himself, and the head office will get very little income.

When I can't get a project approved, I think about making money by myself, and when I encounter difficulties, I ask the head office for help.

But what can Yan Zhangrong do?

This time he came to the capital for a meeting, the main goal was to find some help.

But looking at Peng Zhi's attitude now, the situation is worrying.

Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to cheer himself up. In any case, he still has to continue to try again, otherwise if "Fatal Rhythm" suffers misfortune, then his hard work over the years will really return to before liberation.

However, Yan Zhangrong met many people during his two or three days of activities in the capital.

He still has connections. After all, he has been an executive in Huayi Films for many years. When encountering his invitation, many people will still be willing to come out to meet him, so as not to let him be rejected.

But that's all.

Substantial commitment? Not a word.

The only consolation is that he met with the management of several theaters and got a guarantee - the initial filming of "Deadly Action" is no less than 20%.

To be honest, if this promise had been placed some time ago, Yan Zhangrong would have dismissed it at all.

In the same schedule, their "Fatal Action" has a large investment scale, a huge star lineup, and a high degree of enthusiasm in all aspects of publicity. Although 25% of the film schedule is not low, but it takes so much It's not too much, it's what it should be, why does it need him to talk in person?

But up to now, being able to get such a guarantee is already considered a harvest.

At the moment, "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Flames of War" is too popular, and the conservative film schedule will not be less than 30%, and may even reach more than 35%. Counting the number of films that some other films have received, it is really unknown whether "Deadly Action" can be allocated 25% in the end.

In fact, at the previous wine table, a representative of the theater chain who had drunk too much also revealed that if Yan Zhangrong hadn’t come over in person, said some good things, and offered some real benefits, I’m afraid The screening rate of "Deadly Action" not only cannot reach 25%, it may even drop below 20%.

Yan Zhangrong also asked curiously at that time, saying how much they gave to "Warring", and he replied:

"thirty eight."

Yan Zhangrong took a deep breath.

But whether you are unwilling or envious or jealous, you have to press it back into your stomach.

...

No matter how much disturbance there is, it's finally time for "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Fire of War" to go to theaters and meet the audience.

On the evening of June 28th, at twelve o'clock in the morning, the midnight premiere of "Martial Arts Master: Fire of War" officially opened.

At this time, it was the third day after the finale of the TV series was aired, and the popularity of the movie was at its peak.

In the movie theater, Liang Shuyue was queuing up to get in, and the tiredness on her face couldn't be erased no matter what.

In the very early days, in a "dimension entertainment fan group" she participated in on the Internet, there were many people who were connected in series and made an appointment to watch the premiere of "Martial Arts Master: War".

She wanted to participate so much that she signed up.

However, many of her colleagues later made appointments to watch this movie together, and many people called her.

Hospitality is hard to come by, on the one hand, there are like-minded friends on the Internet, and on the other hand, colleagues in real life. After making a choice, she still chooses her colleagues.

If she was younger, she might choose to watch it with her friends on the Internet. But after all, we have already passed the second stage of middle school, and the interpersonal relationship in reality is more important.

Six or seven colleagues who are relatively close to each other bought tickets together to watch the premiere tonight.

But what made her angry was that just a few hours ago, this evening, the initiator among them said that his wife was not allowed to go out at night, and there was an order, insisting that he accompany his wife to watch this movie Movie.

That's all, after all, who doesn't have a family situation?

But this matter is understandable, but a stupid thing he did is not quite understandable - the movie tickets for the premiere of "Martial Arts: War" are not very easy to buy, they are pre-booked movie tickets on the Internet. For the little friends who made an appointment, this person bought the tickets, and everyone gave him their money later and it was over.

But this guy couldn't come, he wanted to refund the ticket, and he didn't know how to do it, so he refunded all six or seven tickets in the entire order in one go!

Caught off guard, the premiere starts tonight, where can I buy tickets on the spot?

Liang Shuyue really spurted out a mouthful of old blood, she was determined to kill that unreliable colleague.

The other colleagues, who ran out of tickets and couldn't come, decided not to come, and planned to wait until the next day or the third day to buy tickets, anyway, it would save them from running out in the middle of the night.

But how could Liang Shuyue endure this?

She is a loyal fan of the series "Martial Arts Master". She watched the TV series when it first came out. Moreover, she is also a loyal fan of Dimension Entertainment. When she just graduated from high school, Dimension Entertainment released its first work, which is the second season of the animated version of "Full-time Master", she was watching it. It can be said that the works of Dimension Entertainment accompanied her in her youth.

She really wanted to watch this premiere!

Since these colleagues are unreliable, she can only think of other ways.

It happened to be raining at night, but even though it was raining, she hurried to the cinema and wanted to buy tickets on the spot.

There are quite a lot of film schedules for "Martial Arts Master: Flame of War", and this movie will be screened in many screenings in this cinema. However, the popularity of the film should not be underestimated. The tickets for the premiere were basically sold out, and occasionally there were only one or two tickets left, and the seats were extremely poor. Forget about the first row and the second row, they are still on the edge.

But what can be done?

She bought one of these tickets first. Even if the location is not good, the experience of watching the film will be relatively poor, and we must first ensure that there is something to watch before we can discuss these.

Anyway, she had made up her mind a long time ago that she would definitely give this film a second or even a third look, and then she would just buy tickets in advance and buy some good seats.

Even so, however, she still doesn't want her experience at the premiere to be so bad.

She waited at the front desk of the cinema, waiting for them to refresh the tickets.

What if some idiot appeared, acting like her colleague, and refunded the ticket? Can't this be missed!

However, she looked around and saw that there were quite a few people around the front desk. It is self-evident what movie they came here in the middle of the night for.

The competition is a bit stiff.

She started thinking of other ideas.

Taking out her mobile phone, she opened his previous group of 'dimension entertainment lovers', began to post location, and then sent a call for help:

"Help! Kind people please help! Please get a ticket for a good seat in "Fire of War"!"

She is an active member in the group, and usually chats and speaks a lot. There are many people in the group who are old acquaintances.

So, soon someone replied to her:

"Didn't you go to see it with your colleagues? Didn't you get a ticket?"

"If you don't follow our regiment, that's the end!"

"The good-hearted man has already been heartbroken by you, so don't save him."

Seeing these replies, she complained a lot of bitterness, told the whole story, and then sent a 'poor' expression: "Everyone, please do me a favor, who suddenly has something Yes, contact me as soon as possible, I sincerely ask for a ticket! Double the price please!"

She joked around in the group for a while, but in fact, she didn't have much hope for getting a ticket for a good position.

People in this group will buy tickets for the premiere, and they are all die-hard fans of Dimension Entertainment. Everyone has been looking forward to the release of "Fire of War" for a long time, and it is unlikely that someone will give up tickets.

Chatting nonsense here, mainly to pass the boring time of waiting for the movie to start.

But Huang Tian paid off, suddenly, her phone vibrated, and someone was chatting with her in private.

"Sister Yue, do you still want a ticket?"

Looking at the ID, it is very strange, it should be in the group, but it may be a diving party, the kind that doesn't like to talk very much.

But now she cares who is who? The one with the ticket is dad!

"Yes, yes! Do you want to let me go?"

"Well, I have one. My mother won't let me come out to read it. I planned to sneak out from home to read it at night, but if you want it, I can give it to you."

"OK!"

"That double price..."

It seems that reselling a movie ticket can make you tens of dollars, which is quite tempting for the student party. What's more, if people don't watch the premiere, they can buy tickets for other shows at any time later.

However, for Liang Shuyue, since she is already working, she has no pressure to spend an extra movie ticket.

She didn't intend to break her promise when she splashed out what she said, and transferred the money directly.

"The money has been sent to you in a red envelope by V letter, please send me the ticket collection code." Behind this sentence, there is a smiley face attached.

She saw that the red envelope she sent was received, and the ticket collection code was not sent for a long time.

"Huh?" She had a bad premonition in her heart, and asked a few more questions in a hurry.

Then, she found herself blocked.

Blood rushed to her heart, and now, she didn't know that she had run into a liar.

"Fucking hastily!" Ten thousand alpacas galloped past her heart, and she blushed with anger.

Turning around and opening the group, she began to scold the bastard and liar. Then I turned around and searched, and this guy withdrew from the group.

What happened to Liang Shuyue received enthusiastic responses in the group.

Everyone generally condemned the liar, and then comforted her for being cheated of more than a hundred yuan. Occasionally, some bad-tempered guys with stinky mouths would make fun of her.

After talking and talking, her mood was a little bit better, at least the depression of being cheated was not so heavy.

And then, another person chatted with her in private.

"Xiaoyue was cheated?"

This time, she is a serious old acquaintance. She even knows that the other party should be an IT guy in real life. He may be more than ten years older than herself. He is an old comrade, and they are both in Shenghai. The distance is not very far. When the offline gatherings are held in the group, they are also face-to-face.

"Hmm...crying.jpg"

"Haha, I have a ticket for the premiere here, let me give it to you."

"Huh? You don't want to read it?"

"I was going to see it. I saw you in such a miserable state, so I'll let you forget it. I'm old, and I can't make it through. I'll buy a ticket later, and I'll watch it after get off work tomorrow."

After one line was typed, it was sent over with a ticket collection code.

Liang Shuyue was instantly moved: "Old U, you are such a good person!"

"That's why I was issued a good person card..."

Liang Shuyue went to pick up the tickets, and found that the seat was really good, in the middle of the seventh row, it was perfect.

She turned on her mobile phone, did some operations on it, bought a movie ticket for tomorrow, and then sent it to old U.

"Here, I invite you to see the tickets for tomorrow's half past seven!"

"Ha, then you're welcome."

"You're welcome, thank you old U for giving away tickets tonight."

With a smile on her face, Liang Shuyue lined up to enter the arena.

There is true love in the world!
