Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

He is not aware of what is happening in the country now because he has more important things to do now.

That is to contact theaters for the new movie "Cellmates".

After two and a half months of shooting, their film was completed a few days ago and has now been sent for post-production.

So at this time, he naturally has to pay more attention to the affairs of the cinema.

Originally, this movie of theirs was not a big production, and there were no special effects at all. In post-production, they probably just needed to optimize the pictures, edit the music, and then add the sound.

The process is very quick.

So they must deal with the theater issues as soon as possible.

At first, he was not too worried about the original cinema chain unilaterally terminating their cooperation. After all, isn't it hard to find a cinema chain in America? If the mainstream cinema chains refused to cooperate with them, couldn't they choose other less-expensive cinema chains?
You know, in addition to the four major mainstream cinema chains, there are still many smaller cinema chains in America, and even each state has different ones, some of which are only available in their own state, or some private theaters, which are the only ones there.

The number of these private theaters may be even greater than the number of mature cinema chains, and many audiences even prefer to watch movies in these private theaters.

These private theaters cooperate directly with some large cinema chains, which provide them with film sources, and then they pay a large sum of money every year.

This is the difference between the American cinema market and the domestic market in Hanxia.

So if you want to find a cinema, there is actually no shortage of it.

However, after the filming of the movie was completed, Xia Yuan immediately went to find some smaller second- and third-rate theaters to discuss cooperation.

However, the situation was somewhat shocking.

He has been looking for cinemas these days, but the answers he got were surprisingly consistent.

Cooperation is possible, but the price and share are extremely low, which is equivalent to robbing money. What's worse, some people directly ask for 70% of the share.

Is there any need to discuss this kind of profit sharing? For any film or company, if they want to make a profit, they have to increase the box office revenue exponentially.

It's so insane that it's hard to describe.

Xia Yuan finally understood that others had no intention of cooperating at all.

However, he did not gain nothing in the past few days. At least he finally figured out who the culprit was.

Although he and his senior had suspected it before, the culprit might be the 21st Century Fox Company.

But that's just a suspicion, right? You can't prove it.

Now he has obtained the most accurate evidence, that is, the 21st century fox is behind it.

This really confused Xia Yuan. He really couldn't remember any disputes between himself and this company.

Are they really going to go find those private theaters to show it?
You have to know that those private theaters are not chain theaters. Even if you really want to negotiate with them, you can only negotiate with the next one.

Is it possible that the movie they worked so hard to make will only be shown in one theater?

how can that be!

So, whether to say it or not, I might really need to consider the advice I gave to my senior before.

"Do I really have to open my own cinema chain?" Xia Yuan smiled bitterly.

It is now certain that the film cycle has been lengthened.

After Xia Yuan returned, he reported the situation to his senior sister.

The senior schoolmate was also single, and she said immediately: "Why do we still have to endure his bullshit? He doesn't care about our face, and we still cling to him? Just flip the table and it will be over. We have the capital to do so. We can open a cinema and have fun on our own!"

Ever since Xia Yuan mentioned this to her, Tang Ying has been looking forward to it every day and has made up her mind to do it.

My goodness, a business that you have invested in for a long time is suffering long-term losses. Who can resist such temptation?
And they are still losing money, damn YouAce! They need to consider the exchange rate!

How could I miss such a good opportunity?

But the problem arises again. If they really want to set up their own cinema chain, the first thing they will face is more difficulties.

It sounds simple, but if you want to make some things a reality, there are many things you need to consider.

The first thing is, how big are they going to make the plate?
How much money will they invest?
Do we really need to invest large amounts of money?

The headquarters also needs money now. Although they still have money, they also need to consider whether the headquarters can continue to operate. If funds are withdrawn on a large scale, it is hard to say whether the headquarters can withstand it.

Xia Yuan doesn't want to destroy the company directly.

So this requires expanding the scope, they are actually short of money!
Unless the headquarters can suddenly make a fortune, and then provide a large amount of funds for them to squander and lose. But is this possible? It is impossible to think with your toes. Not to mention that the business of the headquarters has actually been completely finalized, there is no chance of this happening. Those newly recruited directors are still barely within the scope of human beings, and cannot be compared with a director like him.

Now we can only continue to try to negotiate with a lower-level cinema chain, or if that doesn’t work, we can visit and try to contact more private theaters. Then showing the film on a large scale in private theaters can be an option.

In the country of Xia.

Jilda's life remained in a very stable state.

It's just that he has been a little unstable these days.

Because he had spent all his living expenses and had no money left.

So some entertainment activities were stopped, such as smoking or reading novels.

Nowadays, any genuine website has an extremely strict anti-theft mechanism, and after several waves of crackdowns, pirated websites have suffered severe blows. Even the Bige Pavilion, which had stood for 20 years, has collapsed, and its boss was arrested and forced to work on a sewing machine. So no one dares to commit crimes at this time.

So I have no book coins to redeem, and naturally no novels to read. Now I live on three steamed buns, a bag of pickled mustard tuber, and a bottle of hot water a day.

He has also been paying attention to part-time jobs these days, planning to work part-time to earn some money to support his life.

Then the only remaining form of entertainment is to watch videos, and occasionally be attracted by advertisements to play mini-app games.

Of course, I only play those advertising games that don’t require real money.

As he was playing around, he started to see a lot of advertisements flashing across his screen.

The four words "Long Distance Novels" appear very frequently in various advertisements.

The scenes are still changing, and the same words and slogan are repeated: You can make money by reading novels!

From the very beginning, he was indeed not very interested in this so-called advertisement about making money by reading novels, because he did not believe that there was such a cheap and good thing in the world!
But I can’t help but see so many of them! During this period, whether it was mini programs or various apps, or even short videos on Douyin and Kuaishou, at least six or seven out of ten ads were Yuantu Novels ads!

And the most amazing thing is that other advertisements hire small actors whose lines are stiff and their acting is awkward, or they may not even be actors.

But what about the advertisement for Long Distance Novels?
It’s either Huo Chunliang, Luo Qingning, Ge Fu, Zhou Yuancheng and Yan Yunying, all of them are extremely familiar artists and stars!
Plus his current situation
Who can bear this?

If this is true, it would cost at least ten or twenty yuan a day.

The money I put into my meal card is enough for me to live on! I can even squeeze out enough money for a pack of cigarettes every day! I don’t need to spend time doing odd jobs after school.

Why don't you go take a look?
It is said that once a thought appears, it will quickly occupy your brain. As long as you have any idea, it proves that you really want to do it.

Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything by trying, so why not?

So, Jierda convinced himself, clicked on the video link, jumped to the app store, and updated the APP.

Soon, he opened the APP with nervousness.

After a startup animation of a writing competition, he saw some recommended books.

He didn't choose too many, and just randomly clicked on a book that he liked from the recommendations on the homepage.

Then, the familiar scene from the novel appeared.

I saw in the novel screen that the number of chapters mentioned was already very large, and it seemed that I had clicked into a book with good performance.

Then I read a few pages, and soon, before I finished the first chapter, a silent advertising page appeared.

Locked, can't slide, five seconds.

When the time was up, Jilda held his breath and slid.

Back to the pages of the novel.

A line of small words actually popped up in the upper right corner of his screen.

+0.02!

It really jumped out!

Jierda was startled and quickly turned over and clicked on his own backend homepage.

At this moment, the balance of 0.02 is displayed in the [Wallet] column!
"what?"

The Jildas were dumbfounded.

Holy shit, it's actually true? ? Is there really money to be made? (End of this chapter)
