In the office of the manager of the film purchase department of Galaxy Video Network, several employees were suffering from the manager's anger.
"Snapped!"
Zhou Yuan looked at his three employees with a gloomy face.
“The director was very dissatisfied with our department’s business last month!”
"In the month of April, we signed 48 online universities, and 48 online universities gave 6 A visas and 22 B visas!"
"Only two of the six A-signed films have a box office of over one million, and the 22 B-signed films have a box office of over RMB 500,000, which is less than half!"
"I don't know where your eyes are, or what you were thinking about when you were reviewing the film!"
“Look at the data, look at the audience retention!”
"This is the exquisite product you carefully selected?"
After cursing for seven or eight minutes, he finally stopped after venting his anger at the director and his mouth was dry.
After taking a sip of water, he added, "Everyone only has one A signature limit next month. You can sign as many as you want. It's linked to the bonus. If the A signature network has a box office of less than one million, the bonus will be deducted!"
When money was involved, the expressions of the three employees of the online film purchasing department changed.
"Manager, the output of large online companies is increasing, are there quotas?" an employee asked tentatively.
"If the output is doubled, the number of places will naturally be doubled. This month, I will put bright spots on my eyes!"
"Especially you, Chen Hai, none of the three A's you signed has a box office that exceeds one million. If you don't show some results this month, go back and spend the Children's Day with your son!"
The three of them came out of the office with depressed faces. There was a risk of having their money deducted in the future, which was not good for anyone.
Especially the named Chen Hai, who is nearly 30 years old and whose children have just entered kindergarten, is a time when expenses are high.
The other two people patted his arms and comforted him, "Old Chen, don't take it to heart. Just raise your requirements this month."
"It's okay. You guys should be busy. I have a client who should have arrived."
Chen Hai sighed, the Internet University has just begun to develop, and it is the time to seize the market. If you don't spend money now, it will be too late to spend money when Penguin and Tomato Video have robbed all the producers and viewers.
Besides, if you lose 50 cents per click, you won’t lose much if the box office is low.
I also want to grab more producers to expand the exclusive distribution network in Galaxy and encircle the market, but I don’t want to spend more money. How can it be that simple?
As for the two of them, they would rather not sign a contract than pay a high price. This would make it easier to explain to their superiors, but when the time comes there will be fewer films signed, and they will be scolded again.
These days, if you don't do something, you won't make a mistake. The more you do, the greater the chance of making a mistake.
Shaking his head, Chen Hai came to the small conference room of the online film purchasing department and pushed the door open.
Seeing Li Qian and Guo Fan sitting inside, he stretched out his hand towards Li Qian without thinking much.
"It's Mr. Li, you've been waiting for a long time."
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Li Qian stood up and shook hands with the visitor.
Chen Hai sat upright opposite him, took out a pen and paper, and said, "Then let's get started. Have you brought all the materials?"
"It's all here."
Li Qian pushed all the materials on the table over, and the procedures that needed to be followed still had to be followed.
Looking through the information, Chen Hai was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Li is the director of this film?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "Yes, I am the only investor and own all the copyrights."
"Director Chen is really young and promising."
After admiring, Chen Hai glanced at Guo Fan beside him and saw that his expression didn't change at all and he didn't say anything.
He thought Li Qian was the investor and the older man next to him was the director. He was originally wondering why the director was brought here.
After checking all the information, I didn’t waste any time and went straight to watching the movie.
The Internet is large, so just use your laptop to read it.
I looked at the time on my watch before clicking play.
At the beginning, there was a vast starry sky, a satellite flew in, and then the earth appeared on the screen.
The camera quickly dives through the atmosphere toward the ground. The camera lands on a chip, then travels over the chip. Finally, the camera falls on a person talking on a mobile phone.
Satellite, telephone, "Sniper Phone Booth"?
Continuing to look down, the male protagonist appears, accompanied by a follower.
The beginning is quite average, without much highlights, but the combination of these two people looks a bit funny.
Immediately after the actor entered the phone booth, Cheng Hai looked at the time and saw that three minutes had passed.
The fierce-looking delivery boy was driven away by the male protagonist. After talking to his lover, he received a mysterious phone call. The person on the other end of the phone knew everything about the male protagonist.
Chen Hai became interested, and when he thought of the title of the film, he couldn't help but become nervous.
A gloomy voice on the phone told him that if he dared to hang up the phone and leave the phone booth, he would be bloodied on the spot.
The protagonist naturally regarded this threat as a prank, until a gang leader who was fighting with him for a phone booth was killed on the spot.
The sound of gunshots attracted the police, who suspected that the protagonist was the murderer, but was hiding inside because of fear of crime, and ordered him to come out.
Finally, under the pressure of the killer, the protagonist confessed everything and caught the murderer, the delivery boy whom Chen Hai suspected at first.
A decent suspense film, not bad.
Chen Hai nodded, already giving this movie a score in his heart.
However, the appearance of the real murderer played by Lu Entai in the end left Chen Hai stunned and a chill arose for no reason.
Don't take your eyes off the screen until the movie is finished.
"A very good movie, the rhythm, creativity, suspense, and the performance of the protagonist are all very good."
Chen Hai gave a positive evaluation and then said, "However, the beginning is not very attractive, and the suspense genre market is not as good as the alien beast horror genre. The audience prefers direct sensory stimulation, so we can give it a C
sign."
When he heard about the C lottery, Guo Fan was a little anxious, but he still controlled his mood. He believed that Li Qian would not sell this work at a low price.
Of course, Li Qian would not accept this share of the price. He didn't even need to find an excuse to counter-offer, he shook his head and said directly.
"Mr. Chen also knows what kind of films are included in the C-signature. He can sign them if he is a big network, and it doesn't cost your company any publicity resources."
Chen Hai pondered for a moment, "After all, the market for suspense films is not as good as that of horror films, and they are mostly B-rated."
Li Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, of course I understand the market, but I don't agree with your previous statement that the beginning is not attractive. I want to ask Mr. Chen, when you were watching the movie just now, did you feel bored? Did you ever take your eyes off the screen?
?"
"As long as the audience is attracted by the name "Sniper Phone Booth", they will at least see the protagonist walking into the phone booth. From then on, I can confidently say that the plot will definitely attract the majority of the audience to continue reading.
A web drama can have such a compact plot, after all, Mr. Chen, you are completely immersed in the plot."
"In addition, it's not that the market for suspense films is not big, it's just that there is a lack of excellent suspense films. Suspense films are the most gripping genre. As long as the film is good, I don't think there is a market inferior to horror films. And in comparison, excellent suspense films
The reputation will be better than that of horror films and it will attract more viewers."
Chen Hai was a little confused. He was very optimistic about this movie. As Li Qian said, his eyes never left the screen from beginning to end.
However, what the manager said today made him hesitate.
Is an A signature worth the gamble?
Chen Hai thought for a long time, but he still couldn't do anything like others, just to avoid making mistakes.
At worst, I won’t sign contracts with other big A’s in other networks this month.
In the end, Li Qian successfully persuaded Chen Hai to sign the A-sign for "Sniper Phone Booth", and each valid click could be divided into 2.5 yuan.
After leaving Galaxy Video, Guo Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I'm just waiting for the movie to go online."
Li Qian said, "Fortunately, the other person knows something about movies. If it were an outsider who didn't like suspense movies very much and refused to let go, we wouldn't be able to do anything."
Anyway, even though it took more than half an hour, he still got the A visa, and Li Qian could finally rest for a few days and wait for the movie to be released in a few days.
Next, Li Qian accompanied Guo Fan to Huayang Media to submit the manuscript. After all, he was the royal art director he had chosen. Don't go to Huayang Media and not come back.
