This Star Wants To Retire - Chapter 548
“”Chasing the Murderer in the White Night”.” Guan Fei chewed on the name of this web drama.
“What does Bai Ye mean?” he thought to himself.
Is it a natural phenomenon, or is it day and night?
Or….is there another metaphor?
Guan Fei looked at the time, it was eight o’clock in the evening.
“It’s still early,” he thought to himself.
“Then let’s see now. When I see ten o’clock, I’ll go wash up and go to bed.” Guan Fei vowed.
On days when he’s not working, he adjusts his biological clock.
After all, there is not much left of naturally grown hair, and hair transplants are really expensive. He is still in debt, so he doesn’t dare to spend like this.
Then…….
The next day, Luo Mo woke up early in the morning and saw a WeChat message Guan Fei sent him at 5:49 in the morning.
“This show is awesome!”
…………
…………
From the perspective of content and plot structure, “Chasing the Murderer in the White Night” and “Forensic Qin Ming” take different routes.
This is what Guan Fei admires very much about Luo Mo. This young man never seems to be able to take his own money.
He can always have new tricks and play new routines.
As a director, this can also make you more motivated, otherwise, you will feel tired from shooting.
Well, watching the script overnight is a very small price.
“It’s the actor of this show, it’s a little hard to find.” Guan Fei thought to himself.
Acting requirements are not generally high.
According to the plot, due to some special reasons, the older brother and younger brother can only share one identity and appear in the public eye to investigate the case.
This is why Luo Mo said that one person should play the four corners of the play.
Also, in Luo Mo’s script, a few close-up scenes were clearly written.
“It is necessary to take a photo of light and shadow on one face, and then half of the face looks like a brother, and the other half looks like a younger brother.” Guan Fei wanted to scold his mother when he saw it.
Anyway, you just write in **** mode, and then let me go and shoot!
“In terms of casting, Zhou Tong is a good choice.” Guan Fei thought to himself.
But everything has to be tried out to find out.
Although the acting requirements of this drama are very high, Guan Fei is not too worried about casting.
Anyway, with the support of the National Theatre, there are so many good actors in it, so it shouldn’t be impossible to find a suitable one.
Guan Fei is full of confidence in “Chasing the Murderer in the White Night”.
He felt that this would be another classic!
With the addition of Luo Mo’s [Mist Theater], Penguin Video will soar to the sky today and dominate the whole year!
After thinking about it, Guan Fei asked Luo Mo a question.
“This show obviously has a second season, so the second season will be filmed next year? Then it will be broadcast in the [Mist Theater] next year?”
In the end, the reply he received was:
“you guess.”
…………
…………
Time passed backwards, and half a month passed in a flash.
For the new films of Wang Rong and others, the final box office can be estimated more accurately.
In the past few days, two more directors from the [Ten Billion Box Office Plan] have officially released their new films.
These two films are also okay, but there is no sign of them going to explode at the box office.
In this way, it means that there are only four directors’ new films that have not yet been released in theaters.
Among the four directors, Li Dongliang’s film will be released in mid-August at the latest.
The other three were either at the end of July or at the beginning of August.
In fact, Li Dongliang also wanted to release it a few days earlier.
After all, if it is released in mid-August, the summer season will be over in two weeks.
However, something went wrong in the middle of his film. A supporting role was exposed to a scandal of a bad nature, so he had to undergo AI face-changing and re-editing in the later stage.
Seriously, these days, I’m really afraid that a mouse feces will ruin a pot of porridge.
This forced the release of the new film “Tale of the Demons” directed by Li Dongliang to be postponed.
For this new film, Li Dongliang has high expectations.
What he is plotting is not even the domestic market, but the entire Asian market.
Because there are many well-known foreign actors in this film, it will also be released in many countries.
This operation has become quite popular in recent years.
Many directors also like to use foreign box office to prove their abilities.
But the vast majority of these films are often unflattering at both ends, the box office is not too high, and the word of mouth is mostly bad.
Of course, if the filming is really good, the content is good, and if you can please both sides, then you can make a lot of money.
Li Dongliang is very confident about this. After all, this film involves many myths in China, and these stories have far-reaching influence in many Asian countries.
After all, the cultural output of our ancient times was very powerful.
On the other hand, Luo Mo is asking the studio employees to connect with several major theater chains in China.
He did this not for the sake of exchanging interests in exchange for a larger number of films on the first day.
He was because he wanted to arrange some [point screenings] for “I’m Not the God of Medicine”.
The so-called “point screening” is to find a few pilots and show the movie before the movie is released nationwide.
Usually, it’s just a few games, or dozens of games.
This kind of behavior is actually testing the waters.
These audience members are like guinea pigs.
You can understand the potential of a movie through their viewing feedback.
But Luo Mo didn’t plan to make small troubles like this.
“What’s the point of arranging dozens of games?”
“We don’t need to test the water at all.”
In Blue Star, the phenomenon of [large-scale point-and-shoot] has not yet occurred.
This kind of operation is actually very rude.
Although the movie has not been officially released, the movie is not available to watch all over the country, but there are a lot of screenings and a lot of cities.
My dear, do you call the more than 10,000 movies in this day a screening?
Is your [point] more than 10,000 points?
“I’m Not the God of Medicine” was played like this on Earth back then.
In the beginning, only on June 25, there were two screenings.
On June 26, there were 11 games.
All this looks normal.
Then, as soon as June 30, it surged to 14,000! It has grossed nearly 15 million at the box office.
On July 1st, it was directly “screened” for 23,000 shows and won a box office of 35 million!
The entire movie was screened on such a large scale for four days before it was officially released nationwide.
A movie that has not yet been officially released, so the total box office has reached more than 160 million!
In terms of box office, it is secondary.
A high reputation is the most terrifying thing!
The propaganda effect this can have is extremely terrifying.
This will make the box office explode on the first day of the film’s official release, and then go all the way up.
At the same time, this operation will also allow major theaters to tilt their resources during the first day of filming.
“This movie is so fierce when it’s [point screening], and the word of mouth is still so good, why don’t you hurry up and arrange a few more shows for it?”
There is also a slasher movie on Earth that has done this kind of sleazy operation.
That is “The Devil Child of Nezha Comes into the World”, which was released the following year.
It was also directly screened on a large scale. Before the national release, the cumulative box office was already very high, and then the word of mouth has been directly fermented!
This is actually a relatively alternative marketing method and publicity method.
At this time, all the major theater chains of Bluestar China were dumbfounded after they understood what Luo Mo’s studio meant.
“How many?”
“How many screenings do you want to arrange!?”
For the department in charge of film arrangement, this is a request to refresh the three views.
The first time I heard that there are people who do this kind of [pointing].
What was Luo Mo thinking about?
And why did he think we would accompany him to fool around like this?
The heads of the major theater chains are very clear in their hearts, what is the significance of this operation of [Dian Ying].
If the feedback after the screening is good, then we can increase publicity and increase investment in this area.
If the feedback after the screening is not good, you can adjust the direction of the announcement and use other methods to promote it, so as to avoid the gap between the audience and the audience, so as to remedy the situation.
Of course, there are also direct reductions in publicity costs.
But what did Luo Mo think?
“Even if young people are whimsical, they must have a degree.”
“We won’t play with you!”
Luo Mo quickly got feedback from the staff of the studio. Most of the major theater chains in the country are reluctant to play with him like this.
Luo Mo was not surprised by this.
“It’s still the golden age of [Roadshow].” Luo Mo said in his heart.
The so-called “road show” means that the main creative team of the film runs around in major cities, and every time it arrives in a city, there are several shows.
In this mode, some local audiences, as well as the media, or celebrity friends, will be invited to watch.
On weekdays, everyone sees a group of leading actors in movies on the Internet, standing in front of the big screen, answering questions from various media, basically in a [road show].
Like on Earth, in 2015, the 20 main creators of the movie “Unexpectedly” ran 100 cities and 500 roadshows in 35 days, becoming the “movie roadshow record holder” at that time.
In the same year, “Pancake Man” was also a wild road show~www.mtlnovel.com~ ran 31 cities, 188 cinemas, and the total mileage exceeded 2,000 kilometers.
To be honest, this is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.
In fact, this model is also to create a word-of-mouth effect and let the theater chain see the potential of the film, thereby increasing the amount of filming.
However, the risk of [Road Show] is relatively low, because there are not many shows, the media invited are all screened, and the main creative team is on the scene, so the effect will definitely be different.
[Dian Ying] What we are facing are all real audiences!
However, the world is like this, there will always be a new model to replace the old model.
“It’s just that the first person to eat crabs is always more difficult to operate.” Luo Mo thought to himself.
Fortunately, after another half an hour, he heard good news.
An employee of the studio called him and said, “Boss, Xindi Cinemas did not directly refuse, saying that there will be a small meeting today to discuss this matter, and give us an answer before five o’clock in the afternoon!”
