Chapter 682: It Really Doesn't Matter
(I read . Read the full text without pop-ups)
After Liu Xinxin was stunned, she took a deep breath, and for some reason, she was inexplicably excited and happy.
That guy actually directly represented his attitude, which Liu Xinxin never dreamed of, just like one day, a man appeared in his life, stood at the forefront, and said brutal but heartwarming words.
Only if you know your heart, you can think what you think, what you think, if those words were said by the agent Feng Qing, she would not feel much, but this moment, she was satisfied.
"Mr. Yang, don't you turn away many enthusiastic moviegoers by acting like this?" Unexpectedly, the reporter pestered, and then snorted and asked, this time the hostility was even stronger.
"Well...... this" Yang Di smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Anyone who wants to watch the film can see the high-definition genuine version, after the release, we will cooperate with some video websites to provide a few yuan, or even free resources!"
Everyone at the scene was wide-eyed, and Yang Di's statement undoubtedly caused another uproar.
No one thought that he would be so straightforward in resolving the old reporter's troubles.
Cooperation with video websites, this is originally understandable for film investors, and even in the context of the rapid development of the domestic online movie-watching boom in recent years, every movie that has been screened will try to find similar channels to authorize cooperation.
There is no other reason, naturally for the last wave of money.
In the past, after the release of new films, the release of CDs was undoubtedly a major move to make money, and usually after the popularity of the film subsided, it could also make a lot of profits for investors.
However, in recent years, the domestic CD market is becoming more and more sluggish, not only records, but also the discs of film and television works, but also the lack of sales, and another ecological environment, although it started late, but it is a wolf like a tiger.
That's right, it's network resource sharing!
At first, it was just digital music that set off a craze, but gradually, digital film and television also grew up with each passing day.
In the past, the main factor for netizens to love the sharing of network resources was that they could see the resources in demand for free on the Internet, most of which came from illegal piracy, but in the past two years, many high-end netizens have higher tastes and no longer meet the inferior effects of pirated resources, and also hope to see some high-definition high-quality resources on the Internet.
It can be said that today's major video sites are keen to promote the genuine resource membership experience or low-paid viewing, it is under this kind of superflow that was born, as early as four or five years ago, there were research agencies to get market data, saying that network resource authorization, has become a film and television investor box office, the second wave of money-making tools, the corresponding advertising sponsorship and CD distribution, usually inferior.
This is the trend of the times, investors who are confident in the quality of the film, after the cinema viewing boom cools down, they will all look for this channel as soon as possible to make money.
Therefore, Yang Di's response is understandable.
But the question is, will any investors encourage fans to wait for low-cost or even free resources before the movie is released or even produced?
This can't help but make a group of old fritters in the circle feel delirious, in this world, there are really people who can't get along with money.
No one underestimates the revenue of online channels, but obviously, compared to the box office, it must be a drop in the bucket.
At present, the key to evaluating the success or failure of a commercial film is the box office, there is no doubt about it, the Internet has been developing in China for more than ten years, but I have not heard of any blockbuster film that makes a lot of money through online channels.
Especially for commercial films with huge investment, the current online payment environment is not enough to support the recovery of too many costs, and it is completely impossible to make a profit.
It's not that there are no movies that have premiered or been released simultaneously on the Internet, but those works, without exception, are all small-budget productions, with an investment of between hundreds of thousands and millions being the most common, and tens of millions are lackluster, more than 30 million, which has never been there.
It is based on these factors that those investment bigwigs in the past usually avoid talking about whether new films will be shared on Internet channels, or play Tai Chi, respond vaguely to the time authorized by online channels, and even deliberately create the impression that they will hand over the copyright to video websites in the year of the monkey.
There is only one reason for this, that is, before that, drive fans to the theater as much as possible, those bigwigs naturally don't want to fall into the pit, so that fans feel that it's okay to wait to see network resources, so that the box office will be hit when it is hot.
In the words of those professionals, this is called sleek, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that powerful films will eventually go through online channels, but before they really appear on genuine video sites, they have to create the impression that they can't watch movies without going to the theater.
Now this young man is good, no one has dug this pit for him, he jumped in by himself, and he still jumped with a smile on his face, which is really a little weird.
Even Liu Xinxin's agent on the side, Feng Qing, who is also the director of the new film, frowned slightly.
Compared with the wonderful response in the first two rounds, Yang Di's response is really inappropriate, after all, he is still too young, and he was forced by those old fritter reporters to drill into the dead corner.
This press conference is very grand, and it will definitely be reported in major mainstream media later, and the audience is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If those wavering fans hear these remarks, if they don't get it right, there will really be that embarrassing situation of applauding but not applauding, and some people will take great pains to wait to see the genuine version of the Internet HD.
In the words of an insider, this is simply a suicide box office!
However, Liu Xinxin, who was sitting next to Yang Di, didn't care, or rather, the original intention of this great beauty to invest in this "God Cry Era" was really not to make herself richer.
She was able to fully understand Yang Di's response, and agreed very much, just when there was an uproar around her, she picked up the microphone, smiled and said in solidarity: "What Mr. Yang said, is what I want to say, although the film has not yet started filming, but I hereby appeal to support my fans at that time, rational viewing and consumption, you can wait for the ticket price discount promotion, if it is a student who has no source of income, I have the same point of view as Mr. Yang, I hope not to use pocket money to impulse, relevant network channels, will not delay for too long!"
This time, even some old Jianghu reporters present were dumbfounded.
If this mysterious investor fell into the pit because he was young and vigorous, and he was a little fluttering after two rounds of wonderful performances, then if even this national idol, who has always been regarded as impeccable in the circle, said so, this matter is too shocking!
A high-cost, record-breaking movie, at the beginning of filming, the two major investors treated the box office earnings so lightly, those words will definitely make many netizens like it later, but the question is, this big beauty and that Mr. Yang, have you considered the consequences of saying such things?
What they are calling for is obviously contrary to the normal logic of film profitability, even if it is popular, if it is really popular at that time, then in the eyes of industry insiders, this plan will be a miserable end.
Relatively speaking, the kind of situation where the scolded dog is bloody, but the box office is rushing upward, investors don't care, and even like to see it.
"Hehe, the mentality of Miss Liu and Mr. Yang is really admirable!" The old reporter, with a flash of schadenfreude in his eyes, immediately continued to show his skills, dug a bigger pit for the filmmaker and the two, and asked with a smile: "Then Miss Liu and Mr. Yang can tell me when your film will be released through online channels?"
As soon as this question was raised, some neutral reporters present, or media people who had worked happily with Liu Xinxin in the past, all secretly scolded the old guy for his bad intentions.
Everyone has retreated to that point, why be aggressive, is it really sad that this film has lost all its money?
Even the artists and creators on the stage were all stiff-faced, very annoyed in their hearts, and they wanted to blast this old thing out.
"That bald head is too bad, asking this kind of thing is clearly to put the crew in the most passive situation. On the stage, Li Xuanya was indignant and indignantly complained for Yang Di and Liu Xinxin, and hummed: "If the date they give is too late, it will be interpreted by the unscrupulous media as a slap in the face, and there is no sincerity, but if that time is too close to the hot stage, it is equivalent to killing the box office in a pit, and the specific time is listed, which is itself self-destructing the box office, and it will lose a lot of wavering fans......"
"Hmph, who let that guy be too honest and be led by the nose. Ning Yunzhu was also angry, but while angry at the old reporter for cheating people, he was also a little angry that someone easily fell for others.
And that Liu Xinxin is too, she is so calm and shrewd when dealing with such big occasions on weekdays, why is she confused today?
The crazy girl feels very uncomfortable, these two are the people she likes, one is an idol, the other is a sweetheart...
"Maybe ......" Su Yu was beside him, but he smiled elegantly and plainly: "Maybe they really don't care about ......"
Seeing someone being cheated, for some reason, this cold beauty felt very considerate, if Yang Di really wanted to do something with ideas regardless of the return, and it seemed that this thing was also interesting, then even if she was destined to lose money, she would gladly support it.
On the stage, there has been a lot of commotion, the producer, the person in charge of publicity, and the director Feng Qing all want to interject, even if they lose face, they can't let the two sink into the pit again.
However, Liu Xinxin didn't care about this, as if she didn't see the agent's frequent eyes, on her bright and beautiful face, the smile was still the same, she and Yang Di glanced at each other, as if they had a heart, turned their eyes to the reporters in the audience, and said with a smile: "I discussed privately with Mr. Yang, and the specific time of online release is set three months after the premiere!"
Wow~~~
There was an uproar at the scene, and when they heard the response of "three months", all the people in the circle gasped.
What a bold and bold response!
This is the voice of all the insiders present, three months seems to be a long time, in fact, it is already full of sincerity.
According to domestic practice, the hot screening stage of a new film is usually about 20 days to more than a month.
But after the hot screening is over, it does not mean that the film will be completely removed from the theater chain, if it is a powerful film, the major theater chains will still continue to schedule films, but they will reduce some of the film schedules accordingly.
Compared with the amazing box office results in the hot screening stage, this period of recession in the eyes of industry insiders is also an important stage for making money.
At this stage, the situation of each film is different, but if it is a powerful work, it is not difficult to maintain a gradual decline period of one month.
Even, in some places where the cinema chain is tight, the recession period is longer, because fans will queue up to watch popular films, and in some economically backward cities, the same is true, and the follow-up low-price promotional activities can attract a lot of petty bourgeoisie to go to the theater to experience the thrill of the big screen.
So generally speaking, after the hot screening stage of powerful new blockbusters, within three or four months, the theater chain still has the spare time to make money.
The deadline given by Liu Xinxin is equivalent to wiping out a lot of this residual strength, and at the same time, it also makes the first three months particularly tense.
Moreover, the media of all parties have received rumors that the blockbuster film, which claims to break the domestic investment record, will be distributed overseas.
Considering the considerable reality, this undoubtedly makes time more rushed, if genuine resources have appeared on the domestic Internet, the box office results in foreign markets can be imagined.
Unless Liu Xinxin and they can make the film be released simultaneously around the world, this requires extremely broad contacts and painstaking operation, which is by no means an easy task.
The reporters who were originally present thought that Liu Xinxin would give a rotation period of four months to half a year, which was a bit disappointing to netizens, but there was not much position on wanting to hack this.
But no one expected that after the bold Mr. Yang, this big star would also become a super celebrity, and he dared to promise so much in public.
It is conceivable that this sentence will become a blockbuster headline on the pages of many media tomorrow, while boosting the popularity of the new film, it also buries the double hidden danger of falling into passivity and suicide at the box office.
And this result is unbelievable that it was caused by the two investors themselves.
In the face of Liu Xinxin's such a straightforward response, even the old reporter was speechless, people did not play Tai Chi, let alone deliberately say a distant time frame, but directly gave a surprising "three months after the release".
What's so dark about this?
The next press conference has undoubtedly become much more interesting, and many reporters can't wait to go back to catch up with the manuscript after sitting down, so they have already taken out their mobile phones and started to post on Weibo.
Many people in the circle, because they can usually get some first-hand insider information, are also well-known bloggers in private.
These days, Weibo celebrities are also a money-making business, and some are not even a side hustle for journalists, but a main source of income.
Soon, even the video of the press conference was spread to the Internet, and some gossip media, which are known for their speed of breaking news, received the fresh material from the reporter in front of them, and instantly took out the speed of catching up with the NBA game report, and edited one report after another in a few minutes, and published it through the official Weibo and some other social tools, attracting people's attention.
These freshly baked gossip is undoubtedly crunchy, chicken-flavored, and amazingly disseminated for many fans who are looking forward to the idol Liu Xinxin's investor Chu Zi show.
