Compared with ordinary people's excitement and watching movies, there is an undercurrent surging in the film industry.
The movie "Love Letter" has attracted so much attention in Tai Chi Country. For seven consecutive days, an average of more than 15,000 fans queued up every day, setting a record at the Busan International Film Festival. It cannot be a product of bragging.
Moreover, on a website in Tai Chi Kingdom that specializes in rating movie reviews, more than 20,000 people have commented and rated "Love Letter".
According to the scale of movie viewing by almost 3,000 people every day, almost 90% of the fans who have watched "Love Letter" have come to comment and rate it.
Even if there is moisture in it, there should be less than half of the people who come to join in the fun without watching the movie.
The score of "Love Letter" is 9.2 points, ranking 13th among all Taiji Kingdom movies, and it has received rave reviews, with more than 2,000 comments of more than 1,000 words.
Don't underestimate the ranking of 13th.
In the past ten years or so, Taiji Kingdom has seen an endless stream of good movies. There are as many as 8 movies with more than 10 million viewers.
There are dozens of films left that have both good reputation and box office.
Even in China, Tai Chi comedy movies and action movies are very popular, often selling more than 100 million yuan at the box office.
Therefore, "Love Letter" can reach the 13th place, which at least means that it is not a bad movie, but a very popular and good movie.
Based on so many years of experience, movies with high ratings and reviews in Tai Chi Country also have a good market in China.
Since it is a good movie, since it is well received by the market, and since it has won so many awards, the distribution rights of "Love Letter" will naturally become a good thing.
Thinking that a movie that might have been bought out for 10 million, or that could have been obtained with very favorable distribution conditions, was actually let go, the executives of the major film and television companies and theater companies were furious. Come somewhere.
During the screening of "Love Letter" in Tai Chi Country, countless film company viewing managers and distribution managers were scolded by people above them.
Several were even fired directly.
Now that "Love Letter" has returned with honors, naturally those film companies and theaters want to make up for this mistake and hold it tightly in their hands.
To be able to release such a movie, you must make a lot of money, and another important thing is the gain in reputation.
Think about it!
In the company's honor exhibition room, a movie like "Love Letter" appeared, which brought glory to us Chinese people abroad. How good is that
In addition, others will have a high opinion of your company's strength.
This is also the reason why many film companies are willing to invest in many literary and artistic films, even if they do not make money.
As early as a few days ago, when "Love Letter" was making waves in the Tai Chi Kingdom and winning great attention and love, several film companies actually rushed to it.
Including Yunxing Entertainment, which was at the Busan International Film Festival at the time, and Shanhai.com, which was not an authentic company in the industry.
But none of them got the distribution rights to "Love Letters".
At this time, if you talk about buying out, it is a joke. People can earn at least tens of millions of yuan from the issuance of Taijiguo and Nippon, so there is no shortage of money.
Therefore, the most practical thing is to directly obtain the domestic distribution rights and gain both fame and fortune.
But Zhu Mei didn't let up at all, saying that she would wait until the film festival was over and return to China to talk.
Everyone thought that Zhu Mei was waiting for the expected film festival award, and then used it to increase the asking price.
Now, as expected, "Love Letter" has become the most dazzling star at the Busan International Film Festival, and Zhu Mei also returned with a full load.
Now that all conditions have matured, the film companies and cinema chain companies that have started to take action are no longer the same ones as before. Including the three major domestic film giants, they have also joined in.
Of course Daqi Entertainment is in it.
It is said that the second boss Xie Yang actively requested it.
However, many people in the entertainment industry are not optimistic about Daqi Entertainment.
Not only because Xie Yang participated in the smear campaign of "Love Letter" before, but also because of the unshakable advantages of Xuanwu Film.
Xuanwu Film has always been closely related to Shanghai Opera. The boss, Liao Shi, graduated from Shanghai Opera and is Zhu Mei's senior brother.
Since Zhu Mei graduated, Xuanwu Film has participated in the production of 5 of the 8 films.
Although they misjudged "Love Letter", the personal trainers of the two are still good. Coupled with the strength of Xuanwu Film, which ranks fourth in the country, does Zhu Mei have a better choice
Even Liao Shi himself thought so.
When he ran to Zhu Mei's house, he was also full of confidence.
"Amei, it was my fault last time, senior brother! I was wrong!" Sitting on the sofa, he said sincerely: "This time also taught me a big lesson! Just make up for it once. opportunity, let us continue to cooperate. Senior brother will help you distribute "Love Letter" as best as possible. I will arrange for you the most filming screenings in the country, so that they can all see what an excellent movie "Love Letter" is! "
Zhu Mei smiled and said, "Brother, it's not your fault. Didn't everyone see it at the beginning?"
Seeing that her attitude was the same as before, Liao Shi felt more at ease.
"In this case, regarding the release of "Love Letter", what do you think of my proposal just now?" Liao Shi said, "Xuanwu Film will definitely give you the best conditions, and we are our own people, senior brother will not treat you badly. .”
"Brother, you don't know the source and composition of our "Love Letter" investment, do you?" Zhu Mei didn't answer him, but asked.
"I know." Liao Shi nodded, "You and Xiao Shui invested 3 million each, and the rest of the actors took a small share in the project based on their photo remuneration."
"I think there is no problem in continuing to cooperate with Xuanwu Film, but they don't think so." Zhu Mei said: ""Love Letter" has such great results, there is no need to worry about whether any film company is willing to distribute it. So what everyone means is , put it out and let the major film companies bid, and whoever offers the best conditions will be awarded.”
Liao Shi frowned, "Doesn't it matter what you said to the crew?"
"The crew this time is quite special. We all worked together to complete this movie, so everyone has the final say." Zhu Mei said frankly.
"There is no other way?" Liao Shi asked: "Do you think it is possible for others to offer more than me? Why ruin the relationship between us as brothers and sisters for the sake of this possibility that may not happen?"
Zhu Mei looked at him and suddenly smiled, which made Liao Shi feel inexplicably anxious.
"Brother, I remember you said something to me before going to Tai Chi Kingdom in "Love Letter"." Zhu Meiyun said calmly: "Friendship is friendship, and business is business. If we mix them up, not only will the business be difficult to negotiate, , the friendship will also be gone. Now I feel that this sentence cannot be more correct."
Liao Shi's expression changed slightly and he stared at Zhu Mei without saying a word.
Zhu Mei faced him calmly.
After a moment, Liao Shi laughed loudly: "Yes! Yes! Senior brother, I am very happy. Junior sister, you have finally grown up! Well, we will leave it to the market to decide! I hope we will still be brothers and sisters by then. Join forces!"
"I also hope to continue to cooperate with senior brother." Zhu Mei said politely.
Both of them had smiles on their faces.
But both of them knew in their hearts that their relationship would never be the same again.
From now on, their relationship will only be business, and there will no longer be any relationship between brothers and sisters who graduated from Shanghai Opera.
