Chapter 267

~14 min read 2,766 words

Seeing Jin Li saw this news when she was resting at night.

It wasn't heard from Sister Fang; Director Deng Zexu sent it directly in the WeChat group, expressing his worry about the film's schedule.

Deng Zexu: 【Why don't we rack our brains and discuss how to set the schedule as soon as possible?】

Theoretically, this is what investors and distributors do.

But for the investment of this film, Deng Zexu and Ren Zhangtao took the bulk, Chenxi Entertainment joined in and became a small shareholder, and no one had channels on the distribution side.

This is why many films choose to pull a certain film and television company into shares before filming, just to be able to go online as soon as possible after passing the review.

As a community of interests, film and television companies will be very active in promoting this matter, which is considered an unspoken rule.

The old drama bones are quite calm about the fact that "the film may not be able to be distributed." They don't participate in the discussion and don't worry about this.

Only young actors are discussing it in a mess.

Seeing Jin Li didn't speak, just looked at the suggestions put forward, such as "intercepting cars halfway to give a five-minute opportunity," "pretending to meet the film and television copyright party while eating," "pestering the door to promote"... all came out.

emmm, the means are there, but it's a bit low-level.

Deng Zexu might also feel that the young actors' suggestions were unreliable, so he quietly chatted privately with Seeing Jin Li, asking her if she was busy.

Seeing Jin Li simply made a voice call to him.

Deng Zexu asked her: "Do you have any good methods?"

Seeing Jin Li: "No, I'm not very familiar with major film and television copyright purchasers and distributors. If you ask me, it's better to ask my manager to see if Chenxi Entertainment can give some advice."

Deng Zexu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed: "I haven't told your manager yet, feeling that it's quite shameful to pass the review but no one buys it. If possible, I want to solve it myself first."

Seeing Jin Li tactfully reminded him: "Just treat it as the initial stage of entrepreneurship, and the career has just started and needs help."

Everyone fantasizes that they can handle everything, but reality is not an amusement park, and everything can be solved just by thinking.

Seeing Jin Li didn't know what she thought of, and asked again: "What does Ren Zhangtao say? You pulled him into the partnership at the beginning, you should have thought about the resources in terms of distribution, right?"

Deng Zexu said honestly: "Thought about it, but didn't hold too much hope. His father seems not to want him to walk in this circle."

Seeing Jin Li said "um", "If it really doesn't work, let him communicate well with his father."

In Seeing Jin Li's eyes, if there are resources, use them. How much is face worth?

Father and son just have different opinions, not enemies.

Of course, she is relatively calm and rational, but if this happened to herself, perhaps she couldn't maintain a calm state of mind either.

After hanging up the call, Seeing Jin Li started a live broadcast and brushed two biology papers.

Recently, the subjects she studies every day are not the same, science subjects are studied in turn, and all subjects have reached the progress of the second year of high school.

From the perspective of learning progress, she is not inferior to students in school.

But always doing the papers that come with the teaching aids, she still has some doubts about her true level.

Seeing Jin Li thought, she must find a way to get some school papers to do.

After finishing the test paper, closing the live broadcast, an ordinary night is about to pass like this. Before going to bed, Sui Lingfang's phone suddenly called.

Sui Lingfang complained: "I am the first time to be sought for help by a director. Independent directors who haven't signed a company are so troublesome to shoot independent films. Everything has to be done by themselves, wasting I don't know how much time and energy."

"Independent director?" Seeing Jin Li asked curiously.

Sui Lingfang: "Isn't it because of that so-called wealthy second-generation identity in the circle? Deng Zexu is also a famous director, relying on the experience of following his father, so he didn't sign any film and television company, and pulled investment to shoot his first film in his life."

Seeing Jin Li lifted the quilt and was already lying on the bed obediently.

"Independent director is very troublesome?"

Sui Lingfang: "Yes, it's not troublesome for famous directors, they can control the crew, and can also choose investors and distributors according to their wishes, but it's a dead end for newcomer directors, and they can't borrow any strength."

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "You also said, famous director, won't the father help?"

Sui Lingfang: "His father just wants him to go through trials, doesn't want him to make his relationship public, Deng Zexu also has this idea, delusionally wanting to prove everything by himself!"

Seeing Jin Li could imagine that Sui Lingfang rolled her eyes on the other side of the phone.

It is indeed troublesome enough.

Starting from scratch in the film and television circle, how can it be so easy.

Investment is a hurdle, review is a hurdle, screening is a hurdle, schedule is a hurdle.

Not to mention comparable to the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties of going to the West, but it's no problem to get seventy-seven and forty-nine difficulties.

Young directors seem to always have hearts higher than the sky, thinking that talent can be greater than everything.

Sui Lingfang sighed: "At the beginning, Chenxi Entertainment was willing to invest, aiming at the background of Ren Zhangtao and Deng Zexu, thinking that their family could help, but didn't expect them to be so face-saving and just refuse to ask for help from home. If I had known—"

She paused, "Forget it, it's useless to say these now, I'll ask President Xiao here to see if it can be solved."

Seeing Jin Li persuaded her: "As long as it can be screened, it doesn't matter if it's not the summer file."

"I know this."

Before falling asleep, Seeing Jin Li kept searching for information on film and television distribution, and the process of cinema investment and introduction of films.

The more she searched, the more her heart sank.

Cinemas actually have public bidding for films to be screened.

Bidding is aimed at films that have no other channels to arrange online, and cinemas send people to watch and inspect, selecting excellent films to be screened in their own cinemas.

If the films in the bidding are not good enough, cinemas will not buy any of them.

It is a pity that major cinemas have not held bidding for films aimed at the summer file this year.

It is conceivable how popular the summer file is this year, and it has long been booked by major films.

The time for "And Then There Were None" to pass the review is too awkward. It passed the review in June, and the scheduling of the summer file has almost been settled.

If it passed the review three months in advance, perhaps Director Deng could still maneuver in it and borrow some connections.

Passing the review in June and wanting to go online in July, Seeing Jin Li thought, maybe even his famous director father would be a bit difficult.

This is not just a simple scheduling problem.

Behind every film in the summer file is hundreds of millions of funds and over a billion views.

In the next few days, Seeing Jin Li shot hot single jewelry promotional photos at Tiangong headquarters during the day, and used her spare time to collect cinema information and study.

She had no experience and asked others in the Pink Girl group, as well as Qiu Qiwen, who was doing well in the circle.

Thinking that Xu Wenwen had asked her about things before, Seeing Jin Li also told her about the difficulties encountered recently to see if she had any good suggestions.

The members of the Pink Girl group couldn't give very good opinions; they were at most involved in the TV circle and didn't get involved in the film and television circle.

Qiu Qiwen hadn't shot many films either, didn't know, and asked: 【Why don't I ask my uncle?】

Seeing Jin Li: 【No need, his "Dream Builder" has no news, so don't disturb him】

Qiu Qiwen: 【I forgot he had this one if you didn't say it -_-|| Then forget it, I'll help you inquire, maybe I can start from the schedule of small cinemas】

Seeing Jin Li: 【Thanks!】

Xu Wenwen replied after a day, and she put forward a feasible suggestion.

Xu Wenwen: 【Why don't you try the late-night file?】

Seeing Jin Li: 【Yes, ugly.】

Xu Wenwen: 【Well, the late-night file quota of major cinemas is still relatively free, and the broadcast time period is from 0:00 to 9:00】

Seeing Jin Li's eyes flashed, and she understood a little.

Seeing Jin Li: 【I thought the late-night file was contracted by popular films】

Xu Wenwen: 【For the first half month, netizens can't grab tickets, and the late-night file will be arranged for popular films. After that wave of wind passes, the tickets will be easy to grab, the film's score will also come out, and the daytime will be enough to supply.

Major cinemas, in order to prevent the audience from aesthetic fatigue, or some special emotional requirements, will arrange other films in the late-night file】

Seeing Jin Li: 【Some special emotional requirements?】

Xu Wenwen: 【Couples】

Afraid that Seeing Jin Li still didn't understand, Xu Wenwen sent another paragraph: 【The late-night file is suitable for couples to fall in love. Couple seats will be very popular. "And Then There Were None" might be suitable】

Seeing Jin Li:...

She felt it was still a bit inappropriate.

This film is neither a romance film nor a horror film. Although there are some horror elements, the focus is suspense.

It's just that in many people's hearts, suspense is equated with horror.

However, this suggestion is still very good, and Seeing Jin Li wrote it down.

After finally waiting for the shooting at Tiangong to end, Seeing Jin Li took a plane back to Nancheng that day and went to Chenxi to hold a meeting first.

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "I confirmed with Tiangong that the heat of the spokesperson announced before was very good, the hot spot of the Melo pearl was also rubbed, and the sales of natural pearls launched were also much higher than in the past.

They are very anxious and want to process your advertisement as soon as possible and go online early. Maybe it's just a few days, and your advertisement will come out."

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but smile, her eyes moist like soaked in water, "It's quite fast, I'm looking forward to it, after all, I also wore the ruby miracle necklace in that advertisement."

Sui Lingfang said playfully: "You don't know, on the day Tiangong announced you as the spokesperson, Donghai also announced the opening of a natural pearl series, and the two are fighting in the ring!

Fortunately, Tiangong acted quickly and announced it one step ahead, otherwise it would definitely be said by netizens that it copied Donghai's advertising marketing."

Seeing Jin Li was happy: "But I remember natural pearl series, Tiangong has launched several, Donghai is the first one, right?"

Sui Lingfang waved her hand, "Netizens won't care about these, they just hope to see the two fight, preferably fight to competitive pricing and promotion, and beat the price down."

Because of the natural attributes, jewelry is inherently a luxury item.

It is still very difficult to lower it, at least more difficult than selling clothes, bags, and shoes.

Sui Lingfang: "Then there is "And Then There Were None" over there. Director Deng couldn't bear the pressure and contacted his father to see if he could use his father's connections to arrange a schedule."

She paused and sighed: "It's a pity, the face of a famous director is not easy to use in front of the summer file!"

The summer file is one of the few golden files of the year, with dense crowds, and can explode with greater power than the winter vacation file.

Famous directors are very powerful, but in front of interests, they have to bow down.

If the scheduling was so easy to arrange, there wouldn't be some cold films kneeling in public on social platforms, begging cinemas for an opportunity to get schedule promotion.

Seeing Jin Li hesitated and said: "I thought of some ways, but I don't know if it will work."

Sui Lingfang said: "We will hold a meeting to discuss it together tomorrow, and then we will talk about it. It's useless to be anxious. As for the film "Dream Builder," the uncertainty is too great, it hasn't passed the review yet, we are ready at any time."

"What preparation?" Seeing Jin Li asked.

Sui Lingfang: "Either be shelved for two years, or go online immediately after passing the review. You have few schedules now, I will see how to arrange it for you then, and I must reserve some time for "Dream Builder"."

Seeing Jin Li: "Okay."

In the afternoon, Seeing Jin Li started the learning live broadcast.

This time her time was finally generous!

【Starting the live broadcast at this point, I have a bad premonition...】

【Is the roll king going to make a comeback?】

【Seeing Jin Li is really a representative of inspiration. From her, I can see what kind of energy will erupt when a person is determined to do something!】

【Thinking about rural education problems in the process of urbanization...】

【Research on economic vitality of Kuanzhai Alley...】

【Research on treating lead pollution in water bodies with nano-material fixed corruption Shewanella...】

Suddenly, a bunch of words that can be understood but cannot be understood when combined appeared, squeezing the barrage of the live broadcast room.

In this storm, there were some political, literary, historical, and science-type questions mixed in. The netizens who were making fun in the live broadcast room suddenly trembled and didn't dare to speak.

After this storm of questions passed, the chatting netizens squeaked weakly in the live broadcast room.

【It's June, summer vacation is coming, are those research big guys active too?】

【I actually saw my mentor's research topic in the barrage...】

【Another kind of fewer words, bigger things?】

【Uh uh uh, thanks for the invitation, I am conducting research on the transformation of online self-study rooms and real-life learning!】

【Thanks for the invitation, I am conducting research on what impact mobile games have on human life!】

【Thanks for the invitation, I am conducting research on the change in quality of life between single and non-single!】

The topic gradually went off-track, only Seeing Jin Li's figure of learning was as usual.

Seeing Jin Li didn't start the broadcast, but once she started, she learned for an afternoon.

Looking at this posture, she will continue to learn at night.

It was also because she saw that her time was relatively free. After dinner, Gu Cheng made a video call to her.

Originally Seeing Jin Li thought she was going to learn with him, but Gu Cheng turned the camera lens to many computers.

Seeing Jin Li saw the picture on the computer and said in surprise: ""Assassination"? Are you in the editing room? Are you with Director Yan?"

The lens flipped, and Gu Cheng's clear and clean eyebrows appeared in front of her, with a smile in his eyes: "Yes, it's rare to have free time at night, so I took the time to come to the editing room."

Yan Jianqiao greeted Seeing Jin Li and said weakly: "Seeing Jin Li, hello!"

Seeing Jin Li said: "Director, why do you look more tired than filming?"

Gu Cheng explained: "Staying in the editing room every day to edit, can you not be tired? I came to visit the class, and by the way, brought him something to eat. If there is an accident, there will be someone who can call 120."

Seeing Jin Li laughed.

The two chatted, and Gu Cheng went to the lounge next door.

Yan Jianqiao rolled his eyes at him who valued sex over friends.
