Chapter 945： who knows

When Lehman left the theater and returned to his office, assistant Mace quickly brought two bottles of water and handed them to Lehman and Liam, who had greeted him and followed him.

Lyman nodded, drank some water to moisten his throat, and quickly asked, "How is the situation in the theater chain, and how are they going to arrange it?"

"The best theaters in the city center, the most stalls and the number of theaters as high as 4,550." Liam is still very excited.

"For publicity, remember to contact Columbia. Also, have the people from China Film been retained?"

"Keep it. Their plane the day after tomorrow will sign a screening contract with Colombia tomorrow," Liam replied.

"That's good, we'll find them to get in touch with them later. Don't look at the fact that the movie market in the mainland is less than one-tenth of that in North America, and the output value is even less than one-fifth of that in the mainland (the mainland's The copyright market does take time to improve), but they still have a lot of room for growth. With such a large population, their film market height cannot be underestimated.

As I have always emphasized, the company should let the interest groups over there better accept our business. The national conditions over there are different, and certain things are more important than interests. If you don’t pay attention to this, no matter what No matter how you do it, the foundation is unstable after all, and you get twice the result with half the effort.

You should understand what I'm saying, I don't want employees in the company to say some inappropriate words, especially the site manager over there, and they should pay more attention to checking, don't get in there with an idiot who casually stands in line with international politics.

The public opinion over there is also sensitive to this matter, and has a strong sense of maintaining the country's political system. Like Colombia's emphasis on showing goodwill, we are also actively learning. All our preparations and layouts must always keep those red lines in mind. You too We need to make it clear to the team responsible for the promotion in mainland China. "

Liam listened and nodded again and again, "Don't worry, disregard the company's interests, stand in line to publish private goods to please some people, I will strictly prevent such people from appearing in our distribution team."

"Just be careful. Let's go."

Liam was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

"Go and chat with the people from China Film."

"Will it be too urgent, I plan to entertain them at night."

"The banquet is arranged as usual. Not long after the film's preview, doesn't it seem that we attach great importance to them and are more sincere?"

"Yes, yes." The boss said so, the potential market with less than 13% of the accounts, naturally needs to be managed well.

......

"Avatar" has a good test screening, which is also very useful for China Film.

The schedule arrangement near the end of the year means that their indicators are full again, and what to do with the 10-year introduction film is something that needs to be carefully considered.

And "Avatar" will undoubtedly make a good start (not to mention that after the introduction, it is squeezing the mainland market, although from the results, it is indeed the truth, but thinking about it is precisely because of the Hollywood blockbuster at any time, the mainland movie. Talents will be aggressive and eager to make progress. Moreover, this is a sacrifice of trade tying, and it is difficult to refuse).

Of course, several film purchasing managers of China Film originally planned to negotiate with Colombia earlier, and then went back to arrange the stalls in advance, but when they were about to leave, they were left by the Firefly people first, not saying that their boss wanted to meet See, but there is something unusual about this matter.

After all, in the eyes of China Shadow, whether Firefly or Colombia, they are all "partners" who have cooperated in the business field. It doesn't matter how close they are. It's just that these two studios are more "obedient". ", did not make some red line mistakes, so relatively speaking, dealing with a little more.

After some strangeness, the film purchasing manager of China Film immediately went to ask the organization for instructions.

As a result, the people from China Film also waited for a while in the room arranged by Firefly to see what Firefly wanted to do.

"Talk less and listen more." China Film's team leader urged: "My heart will not die if the US emperor dies. These capitalists are very flexible in some aspects, and it is easy to confuse people."

"We understand."

Everyone was speculating wildly when Lyman and Liam walked in with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I was neglected."

"Where, where." The China Film team leader seemed to smile, "The two of you came here because of "Avatar". Don't worry, we have already arranged for the release on January 6, and there will be no delay."

"Our cooperation has always been pleasant." Lyman said, not intending to talk more about "Avatar".

Of course, China Film is really refreshing - the Spring Festival is the most popular time for movie viewing in the Mainland.

But Lehmann didn't do this. Anyway, Columbia will take care of overseas affairs, and he doesn't need to worry too much, so he stopped the topic and hinted, "I wonder if you know that our company plans to set foot overseas. Release? At that time, you still need a lot of support from you."

Several subordinates sitting next to the leader suddenly realized what they thought they were doing, but they really wanted something...

"It doesn't matter It doesn't matter, if you encounter any trouble, you can call me." The team leader is also a master at writing blank checks, and he replied enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, this will not make it difficult for you. I vaguely know that you support the cooperation between China and the United States?"

As soon as the word "Sino-US co-production" came out, the leader's smile was a little stiff. In recent years, the United States' flowing industrial chain and industrialized production methods have always been something that the mainland wants to learn from, because no one wants to take their own country's film market. let out.

In the era of blockbusters, there is no shortage of good special effects talents in the mainland. In fact, part of the special effects work of "Avatar" was outsourced to Huaya in the mainland, but there are very few behind-the-scenes talents and filmmakers familiar with special effects, and the foundation is not solid. , not to mention building tall buildings?

If nothing else, the Hollywood model of making movies is that all guilds participate, and there is no need to maintain so many personnel expenditures - a blockbuster is at least the efforts of hundreds of people, but the studio just needs to hold on to its head. A dozen people in the department can pull out a professional team, and many things can be outsourced.

Among them, brokerage companies and guilds such as CAA have helped a lot, but in the mainland, even actors are owned by film companies, which is not clearly understood.

By comparison, we know that the operating cost is too wide, the burden is heavy, and it is not flexible enough.

However, although Sino-US co-production is a good thing to advocate, talents can be cultivated through the mature system of the US, but the problem is that the co-production projects in recent years have been very pitiful. The use of supportive policies has brought convenience.

The team leader thought that Lehmann wanted to use this method to enjoy the tilt of the show, so he was a little repulsive.

But who knows...
