Chapter 823: Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger
Of course, this is just a beautiful imagination. Many movie lovers are still biased against theater movies and are not easily fooled. Whether they can actually sit in a theater to watch a movie depends on the subsequent word-of-mouth fermentation.
There is also a group of moviegoers who can be mobilized in advance, and that is Wu Di's passionate fans. These people don't care about word-of-mouth or ratings at all.
As long as they can see their brother in the cinema, let alone a movie ticket worth 20 or 30 yuan, no matter how expensive or meaningless it is, they will not rush for it.
This is what fans are.
If you don't do this, you won't be a fan.
Compared with many popular stars, especially male stars, Wu Di's fan base is quite rich. After all, everyone is a fish farmer. As for Wu Di, although he is busy with his business and has no time to spare, he still often shares a lot of his stories on his scarf.
The rare tropical fish raised and the fans are actually very easy to satisfy.
They don't need you to be very professional, nor do they need you to pay attention to them all the time and post content they like to see.
As long as you mention it occasionally and let fans know that you still remember this hobby and that you still care about everyone, that's enough.
These uncles, as well as young people, probably don't have much interest in movies on weekdays. If they have the time, they might as well watch football games.
However, now that it is a movie starring a star they are paying attention to, and it does not seem to be a cheesy romance movie, some people will definitely be interested in it.
As long as these people can be fully mobilized, Maze's guaranteed box office will be secure. In addition to these tasks, publicity must be strengthened.
Of course, positive publicity cannot be absent, and efforts must be intensified. After all, our movie is inherently lame in terms of its subject matter. Without more publicity, it will not be able to attract passersby to buy tickets.
In the final analysis, mobilizing in advance can only mobilize a small number of people, and these people will take the initiative to pay attention to relevant news.
For their publicity, as long as it is appropriate, it is enough. The first step is achieved, and the second step is to ignite word-of-mouth among a wider range of people.
It was written by professional film critics, and even if the promotional materials for Labyrinth were released, Wu Di was not stingy with any kind words for this movie, because the quality of the movie is indeed excellent, and it is not false at all.
Even if you blow it to the sky, you are not afraid of being laughed at by the crowd if it breaks.
As for the various anti-gangster methods, they are just two emergency plans, and there is no need to come up with them at the moment.
Wu Di has also made preliminary observations. Regarding the movie Labyrinth, it doesn't look like there are any sunspots when viewed horizontally or vertically.
People who pay attention to the quality of movies will not criticize it. After all, the quality is really excellent. Are there stars who are fans of it? There may be a few, but generally speaking, they don't like this kind of film festival that probably doesn't have much box office.
Exclusively for videos.
They may also guess that the maze is just a day trip to the cinema.
With these foreshadowing, the next person we have to rely on is Ms. Ranmasanti!
It’s up to her!
Ms. Lan: What what?
Is there actually a story about me here?
Of course.
Have you forgotten that Maze was invested by Ms. Ramashanti herself, and she was not just an ordinary follow-up investor, or someone who came to save the company?
Since the investment in the movie Labyrinth was relatively small, Ramashanti took over everything with a wave of his hand, becoming the only investor.
At the time when we were sorting out the maze, Wu Di's company hadn't started yet, otherwise, now, he could have invested part of it.
Get your heads together.
Since it was Lan Masanti who was the main investor, Ms. Lan would not ignore her own work, especially if it had already won a grand prize.
Once done properly, you can gain both fame and fortune, isn't it wonderful?
Of course, in addition to publicity work, Ramashanti will work hard, and she will not relax in other aspects.
It's the schedule of the movie.
What is the greatest benefit of having a wealthy mother?
Isn’t this the time when we should exert our strength?
Soon, the results of Ms. Lan’s operation came out.
She picked up the phone and dialed a few times. On the other side of the world, Wu Di received the news.
"I heard that your company has contracted out all the publicity work for Maze, right?"
This is not a secret. What is and is not true? Wu Di agreed a few words, but he didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, he knew that with Ms. Lan's status, she would never call for such a trivial matter.
.
Soon, Ms. Lan got to the point: "I've arranged the arrangement of the maze for you. Guess how many points there are?"
Negotiated?
Is this a deal?
So fast?
Ranmasanti's speed of action is really admirable.
However, judging by how excited she sounded, the filming schedule must have far exceeded Wu Di's expectations.
Wu Di paused and tried: "Three points?"
Three points, of course, means three percent. Three percent is already a very optimistic number. If he could get this share of film schedules, Wu Di would be able to make a fortune!
His marketing and various preparations can all come in handy. At least for Maze, there is no problem in getting back the money.
Film scheduling is something that must be fought for before the movie is released, and the attitude must be positive, especially for a movie like Labyrinth that seems to be relatively niche.
The low film schedule is actually not terrible. As long as all cinemas can arrange it, then it will be fair to the audiences who want to watch the movie.
The scary thing is that the so-called film arrangement does not operate according to such rules.
Many times, the real situation is that the so-called two percent of film schedules are concentrated in some large theaters.
Many theaters simply won't schedule movies for you, and even if they do, it's only for a day trip. So, in this way, the coverage of passers-by will be significantly reduced.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Naturally, the total box office of the movie will not increase.
This is inevitable.
And what if we could get at least 5% of the film schedule?
Then the situation is completely different.
With a film schedule of this size, first of all, you can at least ensure that your movie can be seen in every cinema. With coverage, you can also get the box office.
However, three percent is obviously not the answer in Ms. Lan's mind.
"My dear son, are you still my son?"
"Can you be brave and guess the big one?"
If you think about it, you will know that if Ms. Lan, a seasoned and world-experienced veteran like her, can be excited to arrange a film, it will naturally not be more than 3%.
Wu Di silently counted three times and finally mustered up the courage: "Then five percent!"
incredible!
If you can really get 5% of the film arrangement, it is very possible to make money, let alone repay the money.
In Wu Di's mind, the abacus was already crackling.
If a small-budget movie can get 5% of the filming schedule, this is already the treatment that a movie that is favored by investors and theaters gets.
If there is a 5% film arrangement, there is a possibility of a comeback.
Generally speaking, the schedule of movies in the same period also fluctuates, and theaters must continue to observe.
Whoever does well at the box office will dynamically increase the number of films scheduled. Even for a blockbuster that is highly anticipated at the beginning, once it performs poorly, within three days, the film schedule will be reduced.
So, where will these reduced films go in the end? It is possible for movie theaters to leave their theaters empty and not show movies.
Naturally, it will flow to those movies that were not so popular at the beginning, and the 5% will most likely become 7% or 8%.
For such a low-budget movie, it's quite developed.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Did I guess wrong again?"
No way!
It’s impossible!
Five percent is already a very good film schedule. Could it be higher?
"Good son, five percent?"
"Do you only have that little ambition?"
"Okay, okay, stop guessing. I don't think you can guess it either."
"I'll just tell you, 10%! The minimum guarantee is 8% of the film schedule, and Dynamic will give you 10% of the film schedule. If it performs well after the release, it may continue to increase."
"How about it, good son, you should work harder on your propaganda work!"
Ten percent!
Ten percent!
Oh my God!
What's happening here?
Ms. Lan is truly a hero among women!
She could actually arrange the number of films to such an extent. This was something Wu Di never expected. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
is it possible?
Wu Di grabbed the phone and kept repeating the number. Until the end, Ms. Lan couldn't help laughing.
"How is it impossible?"
"Since it is a movie I invested in, I will naturally be responsible for it. If you want to win the box office, nothing is more important than getting the film scheduled."
"The investment in our film is small, and the pressure to repay the investment is also very small. As long as the film schedule is in place from the beginning, the investment may be repaid in one day."
"I think what you have to worry about now are other problems."
As a biological mother, of course Ms. Lan should give priority to encouragement, but after a few words of encouragement, a basin of cold water was immediately poured over her.
That kind of feeling is really hard for most people to bear.
"What's the problem?" Wu Di asked hurriedly.
"Of course it's a matter of whether your movie can handle so many films."
"Wu Di, have you ever thought about it, this is 10% of the film schedule!"
"You guys have a lot to do!"
"I'm telling you, I've already given you the opportunity, and I've laid the groundwork for you. Whether you can achieve good results or not, it all depends on you."
"You must cherish the opportunity and don't embarrass me!"
Ms. Lan's tone is serious. Of course she loves Wu Di most, but when it comes to work, Ms. Lan will not have double standards.
What it should be is what it is.
In order to talk about the 10% film arrangement, Ms. Lan also talked a lot, negotiated variously, and even increased the share ratio of some key theaters.
As a son, Wu Di should also be worthy of Ms. Lan's dedication.
Ten percent!
That’s 10% of the film schedule!
God!
Wu Di could already foresee that a large wave of small coins were strutting towards him and were about to fly into his wallet.
Strictly speaking, the development of the movie Labyrinth has basically nothing to do with director Xiao Qi.
As a director, his task has been completed, and he has done it brilliantly.
He only needs to make a good film and win awards, then he has completed the task, and the box office of the subsequent release is not something he should worry about in the first place.
He is just a newcomer and has no so-called box office appeal. It is better to count on him than on the only big name in the film, Mr. Wu Di.
Therefore, whether it is possible to absorb all 10% of the film schedule and convert it into actual box office has become something that Boss Wu needs to consider.
If not done properly, 10% of the film schedule will be wasted. If there are only a few people in each scene, wouldn’t it be a waste of resources?
At that time, the theater will not give you too much face, and the film schedule will still have to be cut, and the operating expenses spent by Ms. Lan will not save a single dollar.
But if it works well, Labyrinth can be promoted to a blockbuster that will hit both word-of-mouth and box office, making it an absolute hit.
It seems that many things really need to be taken action!
Wu Di is gearing up...
…………
It would be great if we could return to the capital as soon as possible.
This was what Wu Di was thinking at the moment, but when he looked back at Brother Hai who was writing furiously, he immediately gave up his thoughts.
impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Brother Hai will definitely try his best to tie up Wu Di until the day of filming! It is absolutely impossible to leave early.
Now, there may be only one possibility for Brother Hai to give up and let Wu Di go free.
Give me money!
Keep giving money!
Let him give full play to his work, and Wu Di will be saved.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Boss Wu looked at his empty pockets, although not many people would put money in their pockets now.
but……
Then forget it!
A person cannot fall into the same pit twice. What's more, he has already entered the palace for the second time. Does he want to fall again?
If you don’t have money, you can just endure it.
…………
The boss has not come back, so the only people left who can work hard are the colleagues in the company. Fortunately, Han Jingjing is already very experienced in some marketing activities on the Internet.
When it comes to marketing, Boss Wu never hesitates to spend money.
Having traveled from a later life, he has already seen through the true face of the film and television industry. Today, as the Internet becomes more and more dominant, marketing has long become the key to the success or failure of movies.
Therefore, from the beginning of establishing the company, he paid great attention to recruiting marketing talents, so the fat and innocent lady was successfully selected.
Ms. Shen Jing graduated from the business administration major. Although she is not in line with the marketing and media industry, overall, she is quite suitable.
More importantly, she was admitted by Wu Di himself.
After several rounds of interviews, Wu Di fell in love with her at first glance. Although they were still a small company, there were still many young people who submitted their resumes. Among the many candidates, Wu Di chose Miss Simple.
What I like is her ability to express herself bravely and expressively.
As for marketing, of course, the most important thing is people who have the courage to brag and are good at bragging. But, many people are as fierce as tigers offline. When they go online, they really need to come up with business plans and real-life marketing.
