China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 121 grand premiere!Director Guan’s connections and comparisons!
"I have decided that Wanda will agree to the request of China Film and Director Guan. But I hope that Wanda can still get a share of director Guan's future movies."

When walking out of the screening room, Ye Ning held Guan Ling's hand.

"No problem, Wanda can participate in my movie, but my schedule..."

Guan Ling doesn't mind the other party's investment. In this era, you can't live long if you live alone.

Moreover, Wanda is, after all, the number one theater chain in the future, and Guan Ling does not mind continuing the cooperative relationship with Wanda.

Although Dadi Lingyun and Wanda are competitors, the theater chain is actually different from other industries. This industry needs a hundred flowers to bloom. Wanda knows very well that it cannot monopolize this industry across the country, so the hostility is not that strong.

"Director Guan said this, so that's a mistake." Ye Ning said, "Given the quality of Director Guan's films, if there are fewer films scheduled, it means that our theater chain is mentally ill."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Everything is silent.

In the process of controlling the theater chain, Guan Ling cleverly used a trick to internally disintegrate.

Guan Ling knew that Ye Ning was going to switch sides now.

After issuing the notice, the theater chain did not respond for two days.

So in mid-November, Guan Ling invited Shanghai Film, Shanying, Wanda, Bona and Guangxian to watch the movie in China Film's screening room.

It was Guan Ling who asked them to come, because the subsequent one-month publicity also requires the full support of these investment targets!

At this time, the notice with the theater chain has been issued.

However, the theater chain has not agreed to the requirements of China Film, Lingyun and other companies, because the profits in this process are too huge!

Ten percent of the box office share, if the box office is 3000 million, that is [-] million!
No one in the theater chain is willing to give away this piece of fat in his mouth!
This is snatching food from the tiger's mouth!Taking someone's money is like killing your parents!How could the theater chain let go so easily?

Even if this person is Guan Ling!
Zhang Yimou is the chief director of next year's Olympic Games, and the price they were offered for the new picture was only 43%!

Therefore, the theater chain immediately acted like a coward, and no one dared to make a promise. However, the promotion of "2012" on the Internet was too hot, and those special effects pictures were only promotional videos.

It also allowed theaters to understand how big the market is behind this movie!

Under this situation, no one dared to refuse. We even held several internal meetings, but there was still no final decision.

Even though the theater chain knew that Guan Ling participated in the investment of Dadi Lingyun Cinema, Yan Yu from Dadi Lingyun Cinema was not very satisfied with the behavior of China Film and Guan Ling.

At this juncture, Guan Ling invited Ye Ning and Yan Yu to come to the capital. It's not too late to make a decision after watching the movie!
But after watching the movie,
Ye Ning and Yan Yu were stunned!
Especially Ye Ning, as one of the investors, he felt the taste of money!
For him, if it were just Guan Ling's movie, this ratio doesn't seem to be impossible!After all, as the producer, they have to share the accounts!You can’t lose much!

As long as you hold on to Guan Dao's thighs and invest in the future, you may still make money.

But if this movie is not released in theaters, Guan Ling may feel uncomfortable, but so will their theaters!Why bother! ?

As for what to do next after this hole is opened?
The theater chain is not a soft persimmon, can it still be manipulated?

If Director Guan won it, he would just take it. After all, they have Oscars and special effects blockbusters. Others, do you deserve it? !
As long as the theater chain can stand together, other directors and them will just be a new game!
Logically speaking, Ye Ning should be a member of the theater chain alliance. As the person in charge of Wanda Cinema Chain, he should stand with other theater chains, but now, he has decided to be the devil.

After confirming things with Ye Ning.

Guan Ling and Yan Yu chatted in a separate office.

"Manager Yan, it stands to reason that brothers should settle accounts clearly, so I won't go around the bush with you."

Guan Ling looked at Yan Yu, "You only need to consider one thing. Can Guan Ling make more money for your theater chain than for other people's movies? When your theater chain meets to discuss this matter again, you can directly Ask the guys."

“Zhang Yimou’s movies have high box office, so you can give him concessions.

But after this time, the director with the highest box office in Chinese movies will only be me. "

Yan Yu swallowed his saliva. He had watched the movie just now, and he knew clearly that Guan Ling's words were really not bragging!

"I'll pass this on." Yan Yu was eager to give it a try, "I want to know if Dadi also wants to collaborate with Director Guan on future movies, will there be a chance?"

"It's hard to say," Guan Ling said, "Wanda also has to queue up. You know, there are too many people participating here."

Guan Ling pursed his lips, and Yan Yu turned around to see Mr. Ren from Shangying coming over.

"Director Guan, I'm convinced." Ren Zhonglun couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"The Shanghai Film Festival fully supports the film promotion of this film in the Yangtze River Delta and surrounding provinces and cities. I guarantee that no one will have heard of the name of this film!"

Shanying Jinliang also made the same statement.

"Director Guan, you know better than me what's going on in Shandong. In order to save money, people don't like to go to the movies. They prefer to watch Lagua or the Red Cross Lucky Dolls at home."

Jin Liang made a joke and then became serious again,

"But this time, Shanying will use all resources to promote the film in SD Province. You can rest assured!"

Bona's Yu Dong, the glamorous Wang Changtian, and Wanda's Ye Ning are all ready to promote the movie.

Yu Dong patted his chest and asked Guan Ling for credit.
"Director Guan, although this distribution is done by China Film and Lingyun, Bona has no chance, but after all, I have been publishing for many years. I can't contribute to the distribution of this drama. I will definitely spare no effort in promoting it!"

Wang Changtian even directly used all the hosting programs under Enlight to promote "2012"!
"There is nothing else under my umbrella except that I host a lot of programs. When the time comes, everyone will mention this movie whether they know it or not!"

Ye Ning is the one with the deepest pockets. He has already prepared to install the "2012" advertisements and posters in Wanda Plaza, and Wanda will give a very low discount on these publicity expenses.

All producers, after watching the movie, know what this movie represents for the current Chinese film industry.

Guan Ling has also begun to contact all participants in the film, and the road show is ready to begin.

Nowadays, for this kind of movie with huge publicity costs, it has not yet become popular for the main creator to lead the team to go to various places for road shows. Everyone just holds a grand premiere.

But Guan Ling asked the actors to participate in the road show as much as possible during the breaks in filming.

This is the dumbest way to get box office, but it's also the most effective.

Guan Ling is going to take a personal trip, especially the largest ticket warehouse bases like Beijing, Magic City, and Shenzhen. Guan Ling is going to visit them all.

Cheng Long, for the time being, needs to follow Gai Naote and American actors to conduct road shows in major cities in the United States.

There can be two premieres, one in the United States and one in China, but people cannot be divided into two halves for promotion.

Therefore, Cheng Long is the main force of propaganda in the United States. Not many people in the United States know Guan Ling, but there are indeed a lot of people who know Cheng Long's face.

With Gai Naote and Cheng Long over there, Guan Ling thought it was enough to support the situation.

In fact, Guan Ling has other choices, but now Cheng Long has to run for a while. It is not impossible for Nolan to come and sit down in the days before the release!
…………

"Guanzi, I saw the promotional video you posted online."

Zhu Yawen called, "F*ck, that's awesome! If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't believe it. I took this!"

"However, why is it that everyone else is wearing suits and leather shoes, which are so handsome, but I am the only one wearing engineering clothes, which does not highlight my handsomeness at all."

"Show off your sister, how is the filming of "Myth" going?"

"My role has been completed and I am returning to the capital. Didn't I receive your summons? Don't worry, I will definitely follow the film's road show from beginning to end."

"When you come back, come to Lingyun Media. There is a TV series." "Mine?" Zhu Yawen was quite surprised, "Didn't you say you want to make a movie?"

"I'll give you a movie and a TV series, okay?" Guan Ling thought, you talk a lot of nonsense.

"Hey, adopted father, adopted son is so polite!" Zhu Yawen smiled instantly, "You still wrote the script, right?"

"Good son, be good, this time you will play a couple with your adoptive mother in the play, please pay attention to me when the time comes, and don't say any disrespectful words to your adoptive mother."

"?" Zhu Yawen was stunned.

"Foster mother?"

"When did my adoptive mother come?" Zhu Yawen started to gossip, and the chatter started on the phone, "Is it Liu Yan, Junior Sister Mu Tingting, or Senior Sister Dong Xuan?"

"Shut your mouth quickly." Guan Ling couldn't help but said, "You will know when the time comes!"

…………

Is the road show really tiring?

After spending every day on airplanes and high-speed trains, Guan Ling couldn't stand it anymore.

By the end of November, Guan Ling and the crew had sold out all the largest ticket warehouses in the country.

For the rest, Guan Ling arranged for the main creative actors to be divided into several groups, one group led by Liu Yan, one group led by Chen Daomin, and one group led by Sun Honglei, who were divided into three waves to continue the road show across the country.

Guan Ling originally wanted to go to the United States to hold the world premiere in person, and was also planning to advance the premiere in the United States two days, but in the end he gave up.

I thought this way before because the North American box office must be something Guan Ling will not give up.

But now, Guan Ling has a better choice.

He called Nolan.

Nolan felt bad at first, thinking that he had usurped the show, but Guan Ling claimed that he would connect with Nolan at the premiere in China and jointly announce the cooperation on "Inception". This movie can attract global attention before it even starts.

Nolan finally agreed.

This plan was sent to Fox's bill table by Gatelot.

It directly burned the CPU of Fox's boss.

"Who do you think will be in charge of the world premiere of "2012" in North America?" The boss looked at Guyot in disbelief.

"Nolan! Christopher Nolan! The Nolan who shot Batman Begins!"

"When did Guan get so good with Nolan from Warner Bros.? Can he even be hired by Nolan?"

The boss of 20th Century Fox was stunned. The arrival of this person could be said to be an unexpected surprise.

"Guan said that he might announce a new movie collaboration with Nolan at the premiere. Maybe this movie will impress Nolan."

"New movie?" The boss suddenly became short of breath and eager to try it.

"This plan is feasible, but if you look at it this way, he won't be able to see the surprise I prepared for him!"

The boss shook his head. When the time comes, I will shock Guan!

…………

Guan Ling is very busy, busy determining the ratio with theaters, busy promoting and building momentum. Although he will not participate in the road show, Guan Ling still has to keep an eye on the details of the preparations for the movie premiere. The invitation letters need to be sent out, and people Come if you want.

Most importantly, Emperor Hong Kong's film distribution.

Film distribution in Japan and South Korea.

Although North America has global channels for distribution in these regions, Guan Ling is also prepared to get involved, mainly to create opportunities for Ling Yun.

Guan Ling's future movies will include more than just Hollywood blockbusters.

Movies from Japan and South Korea are probably indispensable.

The time soon came to February 12th.

The premiere of the movie "2012" was held grandly at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing!
The time is in the afternoon, because this time can echo the United States!It happens to be midnight time over there in the United States!
In the United States, those who are confirmed to attend the premiere include various directors from 20th Century Fox, actors with whom they have a good working relationship, including Cheng Long, as well as Hollywood stars involved in the film's production, as well as producer Gai Noisy.

At the same time, Nolan was also invited.

Roland Emmerich filming The Day After Tomorrow!
On the Chinese side, basically everyone from the entertainment industry is here, except for the people from Huayi.

There are Han Sanpin and Zhang Song from China Film, Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film, Jin Liang from Shanying, and Yang Shoucheng from Emperor. They were supposed to be the people of Emperor Cheng Long, but Cheng Long is in the United States. As the second head of Emperor Cheng Long, It's only natural to come and help out.

Bona's Yu Dong, the glamorous Wang Changtian, and the star-studded Lu Zheng are also here this time. He comes with Ye Ning. There is no cooperation between Big Dog Brother and Guan Ling, but he received the invitation, so he also He came with Zhong Lifeng, and from the Tang Dynasty, Cai Yinong came.

Mr. Wu from Chengtian Entertainment is also here, as well as Wang Jinghua, who is currently happily working with him.

Directors from all walks of life also came to help, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Xie Fei, Ning Hao...

More celebrities came, and many people who had not received invitations also came to join in the fun.

Lingyun's artist, Fan Bingbing, is making countless otakus awe-struck this month with "Apple"!

Because of the Immortal Sword, the Divine Condor and the Heavenly Dragon, as well as the hearing girl, Liu Tianxian has entered the hearts of audiences across the country!
Chen Daomin!
Liu Yan!

Liu Dehua!
He Bing!

Fan Wei!

Compared with these people, the arrival of Chen Kun, Sun Honglei, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Wei, Dong Xuan, Mu Tingting, Yin Tao and others is a little less impressive.Guan Ling also came with many classmates, but they wouldn't have too many shots.

There were also some people who came to watch the fun, such as Li Xiaowan and Yang Mi.

This is what comes by itself.

After Yang Mi arrived, she looked around, and then saw Guan Ling standing next to someone chatting.

There was a gap, and when she saw that there was no one around Guan Ling, Yang Mi jumped over.

"Brother, your premiere was really grand!"

Yang Mi clasped her hands behind her back and swayed left and right.

"There are so many people here that I could only see on TV. But now, they are all alive!"

"What you said is as if you are not alive on TV." Guan Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"That's not what I meant." Yang Mi shook her head and said, "I just think that Senior Brother, you have a lot of connections. Nowadays, all the big directors are here. Do you mind if I go talk to them?"

"What do I mind about this? It's your ability to talk."

"Hey, thank you, senior brother!"
