In the Kiwi Conference Room, Qin Xiaobao, Xiang Yang, Liu Minghua, and some related personnel are having a meeting.
Mr. Liu first talked about the situation of "Buried Alive".
It will be officially released in Korea and Japan the day after tomorrow, which is October 10th, five days earlier than in China.
The publisher is actually not very happy. The time is too close. Your three major platforms charge five yuan for on-demand viewing. Compared with the normal ticket price, there is a tenfold difference. It is not that they are worried about domestic audiences accessing Huaxia's website, which has been blocked.
, can’t see it.
Mainly because I'm afraid that the audience will think it's unfair. Why in your country can I watch it for 5 yuan, but I have to spend 10,000 won?
During the discussion, I hope that the kiwi fruit can be postponed for a month, maybe half a month.
Of course Lao Liu would not agree.
The domestic release date has been announced a long time ago. Let’s not talk about the impact of delayed tickets. Qin Xiaobao’s foundation is in China, and the three major platforms are still partners. For the time being, overseas, it is just an addition. It is self-evident which is more important.
.
You are not a fool if you throw away a watermelon for sesame seeds.
You must not do anything that offends others. Old Liu took out a series of materials to explain to the distributors that in fact, China's release will not have much impact on your country's theaters. We here actually want to cooperate, but there is really no way. The contract
I've already signed it, but if I change it, I'll have to pay a lot of money.
Finally, I also reminded you secretly that director Qin Xiaobao is very popular and just won the Busan Film Festival Grand Prize. Are you sure you don't want to cooperate?
Your company is not the only one who wants to be an agent for issuance. Others are waiting, and it has been clearly stated in the contract, so there is no deception.
I have a lot of confidence, mainly because of the judges.
Not only his brother, Jiang Wen, but also judges from Japan, the United States, and Italy all gave "Buried Alive" high scores, and the reviews were all very good. For publishers, it is certain to make money.
In business negotiations, all the issues they raised were to gain benefits for themselves. After this round of negotiations, Kiwi gave up 0.5 points, which was considered a success.
There is no need to push too hard, just give up when things get better. You are no weaker than anyone else in the area of interpersonal relationship management.
In terms of film arrangement, one is 10% and the other is 12%. It cannot be like in China, with many theaters showing it at the same time. The Busan Film Festival is not as good as Venice, let alone the Oscars. Its influence is limited, and it is a foreign film, which is actually not bad.
.
The specifics will be adjusted up or down according to the actual situation, just like Huaxia.
Another reason why the other party agreed is that there are a lot of Chinese people in the two countries, and one of the key points of the promotion is to let the Chinese people there watch Chinese movies.
Although Qin Xiaobao is famous, it really doesn't matter whether he goes or not. The box office has to speak for itself.
Therefore, although the issuer later sent out an invitation, after considering it, he still decided to be busy with his own affairs and there was no need to do unnecessary work.
What does Zhang Liangying say: Your time is very valuable.
Generally speaking, the investment in "Buried Alive" is not high. So far, it has made money and there is not much pressure.
Qin Xiaobao doesn't have the energy to follow him all the time, so just let Lao Hu worry about it. His popularity is enough.
Domestic audiences are looking forward to it. After all, it is an award-winning film and Hu Ge's first film in Kiwi. The trailer has been released. Everyone is very curious about a movie starring only one actor. They have never seen it.
The number of clicks on the promotional video on the three major platforms has exceeded 10 million, and most of the comments are in anticipation.
Some directors are also waiting and watching. The Internet University is not like before, which sounds like garbage. Some studios have begun to get involved and the films produced are not bad, but the actors in them are almost all outdated.
Like Qin Xiaobao, who is currently famous and paired with a top actor, this is the first time to see him, and I want to see what surprises there will be.
People are moving around. There are too many uncertainties in the film market now, so having multiple avenues is a good thing.
Qin Xiaobao and Xiang Yang also reported on the situation of "Supernatural Family".
The movie is currently in post-production, and it will definitely be late for the Spring Festival schedule. In this case, I decided to work slowly and carefully, and try my best to make it as good as possible. It is expected that the finished film will be released at least in February.
Don’t rush to set the schedule, I don’t know what kind of competitors will come out by then, let’s wait and see.
The funds have not exceeded 65 million, and there is still about 5 million left so far. The main reason is that the location was chosen well, and it is all saved on food, drink, housing and transportation.
Xiangyang's job as a producer is very relaxed. He has to fight with the director and fight with wits and courage.
It would be better for him to find new ways to provide extra meals to the crew. As long as it is within a reasonable range and all requests are met, the entire crew will be happy.
As for the situation of other artists in the company, Mr. Liu did not report to the two bosses. He is now able to manage it easily. After all, he has handled business worth 800 million and has seen the big world.
The main artists are very stable.
Lao Hu has just made a movie with his boss and is in the midst of an intense promotion period, so he has nothing to say.
The same goes for Wang Bingbing. After filming the movie, she devoted herself to studying. She was very conscious and attentive. What she needed to worry about was her relationship with her boss. Fortunately, both of them cooperated, so it didn't make anyone worry too much.
The two Phoenix Legends are already stars. They live a very comfortable life and their income is no worse than other people.
The main thing is that they are really hardworking.
Ordinary singers will have some concerns. If they appear too much, the audience will lose the sense of freshness and the popularity will drop.
But for the two of them, there was no such worry at all. They were taking different routes and didn't care about those things.
Besides, how big is China? It would take you at least two years to run around it. And that’s just talking about first- and second-tier cities. If you perform once and have an audience of hundreds or thousands of people, you won’t be able to meet everyone. If you come to a city ten times,
It doesn't matter.
The company also found some new songs for them. The so-called agricultural heavy metal is not surprising. After knowing the routines, professional composers can write them with the same taste, which is a relief for Qin Xiaobao.
What is the most powerful thing about the circle?
imitate!
Yes, many netizens tried their best to ridicule Linghua and Zeng Yi, but people in the industry saw another side.
The competition in the entertainment industry is more cruel than the college entrance examination. Countless people enter with dreams, but after struggling, they leave with scars all over their bodies and endless loss.
After so many years of development and exchanges at home and abroad, all the routines have been worn out.
When Qin Xiaobao launched this group last year, everyone thought he was sick.
Innovation is a good thing, but if you don't follow the rules, is it really appropriate?
After more than a year, it was proved that his idea was completely correct.
In the past, it was believed that the main force of entertainment consumption was young people, so when new groups were launched, they always followed the route of being handsome, beautiful, and cool.
However, Phoenix Legend suddenly emerged, conquered the middle-aged and elderly people in one fell swoop, and became the leader of square dancing. It was beyond everyone's expectations, and they also saw the opportunities within it.
Didn’t you see that every time Phoenix Legend performs at a commercial, it is extremely popular and can make uncles and aunts get high? You can ask those idols to come and try it.
Therefore, many companies have followed suit and launched similar mixed vocal combinations of one man and one woman, or two men and one woman.
Maybe it's because Phoenix Legend debuted earlier and got a head start, or maybe the songs Qin Xiaobao gave before were too classic. These imitation groups can be popular for a while and feel fresh, but most of them still fade away.
Everyone, not even a small splash was made.
However, Liu Minghua was very grateful to those companies. Linghua and Linghua felt a sense of crisis and worked particularly hard.
Since "This Man Came from Earth", Kiwis are no longer their biggest source of income, but if they are making money, who can have too much?
There is also a chain reaction, and some celebrities have already started to contact us.
Kiwi is popular, the movie sold 800 million, Qin Xiaobao won the award, the investment of more than 60 million has just been completed, Hu Ge has joined...
Who wouldn’t be jealous of a new company that is less than two years old and is booming?
The boss is a great director and a well-known composer, but under his banner, there is one official actor, Wang Bingbing, who is still an intern. As for the singer, the Phoenix Legend route is fixed. Qin Xiaobao himself probably doesn’t have much time. This resource is quite considerable!
Liu Minghua has been very busy during this period. Many celebrities contacted him secretly, wanting to have a meal or chat, but he never had the chance.
Qin Xiaobao doesn't care about these things. It's not convenient for him to come out and deal with artists. In business, he is the boss. He can't completely manage the celebrities, but at least he has some kind of something in it.
After all, most artists are seniors in front of him, and they will always meet in the huge entertainment industry. Wouldn't it be awkward if the two of them sat down to discuss the price, signature fee, etc.
Besides, he doesn't understand this either. When an artist signs a contract, it's not like both parties sit down, negotiate the terms, write down their names and then it's OK.
It may look calm on the surface, but it must be complicated privately.
Lao Hu is a special case. His status is enough for Qin Xiaobao and Kiwi Tao to give it a try, but most artists are not as talented as him. They need to investigate and have many things to consider.
Don’t encounter trouble in the future and don’t know why. It’s so unfair.
Xiangyang was extremely happy when he heard the news from Mr. Liu. As a boss, he definitely hopes that the company will become bigger and stronger, and he has a small idea that he has never confessed.
I just want to find a celebrity girlfriend.
The requirements are not high either, the best thing is to be in good shape, good looking and famous.
There is currently only one in the company, and it is up to the partners to take advantage. He is about to turn thirty. Although his parents are not in a hurry, they have to hurry up and urge Liu Minghua to hurry up.
