LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 37 Xu Bai's Conditions
Genius to remember in one second, wonderful novel to read.
Xu Bai's study is very large and has a large collection of books, which is full of scholarly flavor.
Shi Xuan, to be honest, your film shocked me!
Director Xu, you are a big player in the industry, what do you think of the market potential of Battle of the Stars?
Under normal circumstances, the domestic market will definitely surpass the previous hit The Return of the Great Sage. And this kind of film is also very suitable for foreign markets. If the operation can keep up, it should be able to match the box office of Iron Man and Avengers. Compare the best-selling videos!
The domestic box office of The Return of the Great Sage is more than 900 million. If it exceeds it, it must be more than one billion. As for the foreign box office, Iron Man and The Avengers are all blockbusters that rank within the top ten at the box office. .
It seems that Xu Bai is very optimistic about the market potential of Battle of the Stars, which is the same as his own.
Shi Xuan is very excited and is getting closer and closer to fulfilling Guan Mingde's requirements. With this movie, he should be able to earn more than ten million yuan a year.
Seeing Shi Xuan's expression, Xu Bai smiled slightly and said, However, this is only about the box office that may be achieved in normal operations.
What does Director Xu mean?
There are many factors that affect the box office of a movie. Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the film itself. There are also theater arrangements, publicity investment, competition between films in the same period, whether it is a holiday... A series of factors will affect the box office performance.
Looking at Shi Xuan, who was stunned, Xu Bai smiled and continued: Just talking about the movie arrangement in the theater, it also depends on whether the movie arrangement time in the movie theater is prime time or garbage time, whether it is a big movie hall or a small movie hall, it will seriously affect the box office performance. .
There are still many unwritten rules. Audio-visual companies rely on public relations to help them discover that using public relations fees or rebates to manage theater managers is almost an unwritten unwritten rule. Therefore, some bad films will also have good box office performance. The hidden twists and turns inside, if I tell you a newcomer in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid I can't finish it in ten days and ten nights.
Shi Xuan smiled bitterly, I didn't expect it to be so complicated. Then, according to Director Xu, how should I sell this film? The team that made it currently needs funds.
Xu Bai nodded: I understand very well. After all, to make such special effects, Starfield Digital Studio estimates that it has spent a lot of money, and it is normal that it needs to be returned.
Shi Xuan nodded, of course he couldn't tell Xu Bai that the Starfield Digital Studio team was nothing.
It took only a little time and brainwork of my own to make this Battle of the Stars.
Of course Xu Bai didn't realize this fact, he thought about it for a while, and said, I suggest that you choose a larger-scale audio-visual company to cooperate, and Starfield Digital will provide the film Battle of the Stars, and the audio-visual company will be responsible for other market operations. , I believe it can get a good box office. Just in this way, it will give up a lot of profits to the audio-visual company.
Shi Xuan nodded in agreement. Wherever the money can be earned by himself, cooperating with others and sharing the profits is the kingly way.
Seeing this, Xu Bai said, I also know some CEOs of audio-visual companies. I can recommend them to you.
That's what Shi Xuan wanted. Without Xu Bai's help, he took the film to the audio-visual company. It is estimated that he would be kicked out if he couldn't even see the person in charge.
That will trouble Director Xu. If it can happen, I am willing to give you one million from the box office revenue as an introduction fee. If Battle of the Stars can get normal market operations, Shi Xuan is confident than The Great Sage Return is better, taking one million out of the proceeds is nothing.
Xu Bai laughed when he heard this, and shook his head: I don't want your money.
I also know that Director Xu didn't help me for money, but apart from money, I don't know how to repay you.
Xu Bai stretched out two fingers, You promise me two things! I'll do this for you, and I won't charge a cent.
Oh? Director Xu, please speak.
One, in a few months, I'm going to start shooting a new movie. You can find a way to get Starfield Digital to cooperate with me to produce special effects. Of course, I will give you a generous production fee in accordance with market rules.
In Xu Bai's mind, this Star Territory Digital must be a very large technical team, otherwise it would be impossible to make such amazing special effects, but I don't know why it was hidden, and I had never heard any clues before.
Shi Xuan smiled inwardly, this is too simple, and said quickly, No problem!
Xu Bai asked suspiciously, You don't need to ask the team leader for advice?
Shi Xuan waved his hand: I can make full decisions on things like this.
Hearing this, Xu Bai couldn't help but glance at Shi Xuan again. It was not easy for this young man to be so trusted by the technical team.
What is Director Xu's second thing? Shi Xuan asked again.
As for the second item, it's very simple. You promised to be the protagonist of my new movie.
When Xu Bai watched it just now, he noticed that although Battle of the Stars is a special effects animation, which is a bit different from the live action, the main character was set based on Shi Xuan's appearance.
From the effect shown in the film, Xu Bai confirmed his own judgment. Shi Xuan is very attractive to the audience, and he is definitely a person who should be an actor by nature.
Shi Xuan thought for a while, then nodded: No problem!
Previously, Shi Xuan had rejected Xu Bai's invitation. At that time, it was because he was worried that he would not have time to make money from filming. If the movie Battle of the Stars was a big hit this time, he would not have to worry about making money.
Xu Bai was startled when he saw that Shi Xuan agreed so readily this time. He thought that Shi Xuan would have to think about it for a while.
Soon, Xu Bai reacted, and after laughing, he asked, I recommend you to cooperate with Black Hole Media. I have a little friendship with their vice president Ou Jun, what do you think?
Black Hole Media, a media company established at the end of the last century, has become the largest private media entertainment group in China after nearly 20 years of development. It can be said to be a superstar in the entertainment industry. If it runs Battle of the Stars, it will definitely make a big box office hit. .
However, choosing a large company also has disadvantages, that is, it will be at a disadvantage when negotiating and may have to divide more profits to it. But these are follow-up matters. Contact them first, and then negotiate slowly. After all, the quality of Battle Stars is there.
Shi Xuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Okay, wait for me, I'll call him now!
After a while, Xu Bai finished the phone call and said to Shi Xuan: Unfortunately, Ou Jun is now on a business trip to the United States. But it doesn't matter, he will call home to make arrangements. Tomorrow we will go to Black Hole Media's branch in Huacheng. The company, find the person in charge of Huacheng business, and talk about the initial intention first.
Shi Xuan naturally agreed.
Xu Bai laughed and said, It's almost lunch time. There's a nice restaurant next to me. I'll call the two beauties in the living room. Let's have a meal together. It's a celebration of today's many happy events!
That's good. Shi Xuan also agreed with a smile.
m, a better experience. ()
