Chapter 1026： overbearing

2010, September 23, Beijing.

As October approaches, Mann Media is not the only film and television company staring at the National Day schedule.

Early in the morning, the people from Shanghai Film and Television Media were distributing the screening drafts as usual, using the information materials of the main creators to add fuel to the hype. Zhu Yilong and Liu Yuxin worked so hard to shoot "The Legend of Daming Palace" The hit drama "Da Ming Palace Ci", I want to rely on the error in the name to attract the attention of those who watched the drama when they were teenagers and have now grown up to the young and middle-aged generation.

Under the hype of some tabloids and media, this move really worked. Encouraged by this, the publicity team of "The Legend of Daming Palace" wrote a related newsletter almost every one or two days, and continued to accumulate public opinion after polishing.

Unexpectedly, the publicity is progressing quite well, but there is a problem in the distribution.

This afternoon, the boss of Shanghai Media received a call from Iqi Xingyue, a senior insider of the film's distributor, "Don't waste your money," the person on the other end of the phone said helplessly, "receive a notification from the higher-level authorities. : The October schedule gives way, and those theater companies won’t have many screens out, no matter the schedule or the theater location, we can only pick the rest, so I advise you to stop your losses quickly.”

After finishing speaking, they kindly added, "If you want to withdraw the file, we can help you arrange it, but it must be before next weekend. If you are late, you will be late, and the workload will be heavy."

"How could this happen? Didn't we say it before?" The boss of Shangzao almost jumped up, "Let's talk about the basic law of this film. Pharaoh, if we are friends, you can clearly tell me what happened."

"Ah, you can ask yourself, I'm sure there's nothing I can do."

"Fuck."

Seeing that the phone was hung up first, the boss of Shangzoo was so angry that he smashed the ashtray out, causing the employees outside to hear the movement, and they all started to do things with trepidation.

But thinking about my hard work for so many years, starting from a studio without much capital and contacts, I basically relied on outsourcing projects from some external TV stations, investing in documentaries and TV dramas and slowly deepening into the film and television production line, I finally managed to get through it. After getting to know some family members, I got to know some people, plunged into the film circle with a lot of energy, and expanded the production business. Then the first film just came out, and I was looking forward to depicting the future. Suddenly, on the eve of the screening, a familiar person came. How can I not be angry in my heart?

"CNMD, the labor and capital have been thrown in, so let me withdraw the file. NMD just collects the money and doesn't do anything. Instead, it will give me an official tone first." A manager of a cinema in the Jinyi Cinema Line.

After all, Shangzao Media does not have the ability to directly contact the major theater chains to arrange films, otherwise, it would not outsource the distribution work, and at his level, he is enough to be a character of this level.

Of course, a movie theater manager, who is the one who eats this bowl of rice, must know more about the movement in the industry than he does.

Sure enough, good wine and good food greeted him, and a good cigarette was sent out, and people said that this matter was arranged by China Film.

China Film, the boss of Shangzao is of course no strangers. This is the thigh that he can't hold even if he wants to, and it stems from the problem of institutional attributes. If China Film came forward to coordinate the schedule, he vaguely felt that it was not good, but he still tried it out. Ask Jinyi Cinema what plans it has for the October National Day schedule, and try to promote its own works.

The other party smiled without saying a word, making it clear that he didn't want to talk.

No way, the wine party dissipated, and the boss of Shangzao returned to the company like a defeated rooster.

About an hour later, he took the report and went to the building of Xingyue Company, intending to make a theory.

I called, and a high-level executive named Zhao came down. He walked out of the elevator with a shy belly. He walked over slowly and asked, "What's the matter with this comrade?"

"Where's Old Wang, isn't he here?"

"Oh, he has something to do. It's the same as if he told me anything."

Maybe he also understands that his own affairs are not authentic, or maybe there is something really wrong. People have indeed gone out. After repeated inquiries, they say they can't see him. If they don't talk to Lao Zhao, who can they talk to? It can't always be another day.

"It's fine if we talk, we can solve it as soon as possible." Lao Zhao was still kind.

Just like that, the two came to an office.

The boss of Shangzoo just sat down for a while when a young clerk brought two cups of tea bags.

"Are you inviting me to drink tea?"

"If you don't like it, you can drink coffee." Lao Zhao's face softened, "We have coffee here."

"Humph."

At the moment, the boss of Shangzoo took out the budget statement and the agency distribution contract he had signed, and then repeated the sudden inability to supply the previously promised screen schedule and the suggestion to withdraw the file. How to protect the interests of the producer with such a treatment? Even if the file is withdrawn, in such a hurry, how to calculate the publicity expenses that have been thrown in? It shouldn't be their responsibility.

"Well, we also have our own difficulties The incident happened suddenly, and we are just a very ordinary publishing company." Lao Zhao smiled tepidly, but instead asked: "You have already spent How much did you pay for the promotion?"

"More than 3 million."

"Hey, it's a good thing to promote it. Anyway, it's going to be released anyway. The audience has an impression, and it can always attract some people to watch it."

"But if the file is withdrawn, the publicity period will not be right. Is it possible that there will be another hype?"

"When the manuscripts and newspapers are sent out, many things are spread out inadvertently, and it is still effective." Lao Zhao comforted slowly.

"Just for this? I just ask you how to calculate the money. This is because you didn't fulfill the contract."

"Don't worry. How about continuing to publish?" Lao Zhao is still drizzling, "The content of "Legend of the Daming Palace" and the first mode of shooting on a giant screen are still very innovative, and maybe the audience will like it very much. "

"But didn't you mean to withdraw the file? China Film has made arrangements, don't think I don't know."

"Hey, is it for this matter? The distribution must be able to be distributed. With so many screens, a movie can't be eaten. There is always room for audiences of all ages to choose other options. Of course, it's just that movie. Some of the locations, amounts and schedules that we originally promised have changed, and I will not hide from you, compared with the original conditions, it has become worse, but it is not impossible to arrange them."

The boss of Shangzao said unwillingly, "Isn't this still a breach of contract?"

"Then there's no other way, let's withdraw the file. I can guarantee that the issuance fee will be paid back in full, how about that?" Lao Zhao gradually stopped laughing...
