Chapter 117

Early the next morning, Xiao Jian received a call and greeted Xu Zheng who had come to talk about film investment at the door of the company.

"Brother Xu, you are too impatient, you just agreed yesterday that you will come today."

Xu Zheng has a shy personality, but he is a vigorous and decisive person. When he decides to do something, he will do it well, and he is extremely unwilling to procrastinate.

"I'm going to turn down all the film appointments and devote all my energy to the filming of this film. If I make an appointment one day earlier, I will prepare the crew as soon as possible."

Xiao Jian introduced Yang Rui, who was in charge of the negotiation, to Xu Zheng.

As the director of operations of a film and television company, Yang Rui is naturally not satisfied with pure investment. The company is now fully capable of participating in the production, and the production department has been idle for a long time. Why not participate in the production?
"Mr. Xu, have you decided on a company to co-produce?"

Xu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Not yet, I didn't expect you Mr. Xiao to agree to the full investment so readily."

Yang Ruidao: "Why don't you cooperate with our company, and our company will be responsible for the production and distribution, what do you think?"

Seeing that Xu Zheng hesitated, he continued: "Although Yunxiao has not been established for a long time, the two films produced by the company are both extremely successful. I believe you understand this. In terms of distribution, it has already been compared with several major domestic film companies. It is not a problem if the theater chain has reached a cooperation intention. If your film is handed over to our company for production and distribution, it will save you a lot of work."

Xu Zheng looked at Xiao Jian, wanting to hear what he meant.

Xiao Jian was very moved when he heard Yang Rui's words. Although he invested out of loyalty and felt that the script of "Jiangtu" was really good, wouldn't it be better if his company participated in the production?Maximize the benefits.

"Director Yang's suggestion is good, but everything depends on what you want, Brother Xu. I fully respect your decision."

He has said so, and it is unreasonable for Xu Zheng to hand over the film to another company. After a little consideration, he said: "It is not impossible for your company to be responsible for the production and distribution, but I must have absolute autonomy over the film. .”

"You are the director and you are the biggest, of course it is up to you to decide."

After Xu Zheng agreed to have Yunying (Sword of the Clouds Film and Television Media) produce it, several people negotiated in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere on the details of the cooperation, remuneration, crew preparation, etc...

When Xu Zheng finished signing the contract, Xiao Jian happily shook hands with him and said, "Brother Xu, it's a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Xu Zheng shook hands with Xiao Jian and others in a happy mood. He was very satisfied with the conditions Xiao Jian gave, whether it was cash or box office share, so that he could devote himself to the production without any worries.

After finishing the cooperation with Xu Zheng and sending him away.Xiao Jian left Yunying and came to Zhanlan Special Effects to follow up the special effects production of Longteng, and worked with the mold designer seconded from Baiyi to create the models of the buildings and equipment in the movie.

All the models will be made into toys and will be released simultaneously after the movie is released.Xiao Jian intends to maximize the industrialization of Longteng and follow the example of Harry Potter.

In addition to the special effects production of Longteng, the [-]D animation of "Longteng" carefully created by the animation department is also within the scope of Xiao Jian's focus.

As long as the Longteng cartoon, which will be the first to meet the audience, can be successful, it will bring great convenience to the promotion of the film.Whether a movie can be a hit at the box office depends on the quality of the movie itself, but the role of publicity is even more important.

The reason why many films with a bad reputation can be sold at the box office is because their publicity is very successful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Even if the audience knows that it is a bad film, they will buy a ticket to go to the cinema to see how bad it is (like the ancient costume blockbusters of Chen, Feng and Zhang in 06).

And some movies that are good to watch, but because of the lack of publicity, there are no big names in the film, even if the word-of-mouth is overwhelming, they can only get 2000 million (crazy stones). This is the power of publicity.

This is why even if the sequel in the series of movies is not as good as the previous one, the box office will still be high.

Xiao Jian's own personal experience made him very aware of the importance of movie promotion. Why did the box office of "Father and Daughter" exceed [-] million in two days, and it fell twice, beating Jackie Chan's "Baby Project"?
If it hadn’t been for him winning the grand prize at the Venice Film Festival, his film’s overseas box office exceeding 9000 million, and his popularity in Japan and South Korea, which shocked domestic audiences for a moment, what would be the reputation of “Very Father and Daughter” even if it was very good? Maybe under the pressure of the two star-studded blockbusters The Banquet and Baby Project, it has achieved a box office record of more than [-] million?

In short, like good wine, good movies are also afraid of deep alleys, or good movies are more afraid of deep alleys than good wine.Because good wine always has its day, and the film is time-sensitive. Even if the audience knows it is good after the release date, it is difficult to bring profits to the director and producer (not many people buy the genuine version), and the director has no money. The shooting of the work can only be shaky indefinitely.

Therefore, Xiao Jian's attention to Longteng cartoons is unquestionable, and he does his best to do his best.

After get off work in the afternoon, Xiao Jian drove to Baiyi Toy Company not far away to pick up the two-meter-tall teddy bear that had been prepared.

When the car drove to the downstairs of the company, Xiao Ou, the boss of Baiyi, and an employee who couldn't see his face while holding a big bear were standing at the door.

Xiao Jian parked the car beside them.

"There are a lot of strange people here, Xiao Jian, don't get out of the car." Xiao Ou stopped Xiao Jian from getting out of the car, and opened the back door to let the staff stuff the big bear into the car.

"Sister-in-law, I really trouble you."

Xiao Jian was very embarrassed. The phone call he made the night before yesterday was done for him today, which is not to mention the efficiency.

"Thank you, you helped the company with a new project. The company plans to develop super-large puppet toys that have not been involved before." Xiaoou said with a hearty smile.

"Hehe, my sister-in-law's brain is so good that I can think of it all. Are you off work or should I take you back?"

"No, Huang Bo will pick me up later, you go first."

"Mr. Xiao, can you sign for me?" The petite and handsome girl standing beside saw that Xiao Jian was about to leave, blushed and summoned up the courage to take out a photo and a pen and said.

Xiao Jian took the photo and said with a smile: "Of course."

Xiao Ou said with a smile: "You girl, I said why you rushed to give the bear a hug, so that was the idea."

The girl defended in a low voice: "Who told Mr. Xiao not to come to the company, it's rare to see him once."

"It's my fault. I will come to the company often in the future."

"Don't pay attention to this girl, her name is Song Yali and she is my secretary."

"Ah."

Xiao Jian drew a laughing cartoon bear on the photo, wrote "Zhi Yali" and signed his name.

"is this okay?"

"Yeah." Song Yali looked at the photo and nodded happily.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Ou, Xiao Jian drove to the Silk Road Model Company where Liu Wen worked, planning to surprise her.
