Chapter 45 Experience the death mechanism!

Thank you Lan Feng Boy for the big reward. Actually, I don’t need to say it. Everyone knows that if you want to abuse the protagonist in the future, you must have the strength and qualifications.

---------

Tom thought to himself, exchanged opinions with Jon, and then decided to agree to this sharing method: "Yes, I can make the decision on behalf of the company and accept the total box office sharing method. So, what proportion do you want?"

Share? For general blockbusters, we can accept a 30-70 share method. Our film company will get 30%. As an investor, you can get 70%. But you are a newcomer. Although the movie is good, you must accept the real test of the market. Our company

I can’t take too many risks for you, so let’s do this, we will split it 60-40, you will get 40% of the total box office, and our company will get 60% of the total box office.”

Tom thought that what he said was very sincere, and he also saw that Tobin had made the greatest concession within his authority to save face, but he did not expect that Zhou Shaoming would be bolder than everyone expected.

"Please forgive me for being honest, I think 40 to 60 points is not enough to impress me." With everyone's surprised eyes, Zhou Shaoming sat up straight and said seriously.

Tobin looked at Zhou Shaoming and lowered his voice and said: "Smith Zhou, I know you are full of confidence in Saw, but I think this division method is very objective and we can accept it."

Zhou Shaoming shook his head apologetically to Tobin and said loudly to everyone: "If I come up with a better idea in terms of publicity, can your company agree to give us 60% and your company 40% of the total box office share?"

What’s the solution?”

"Oh?" Seeing that the topic turned to the issue he was most concerned about, Jon, the distribution manager, quickly leaned over and asked: "Hey, young man, if you really have any good ideas, I will explain the situation to the boss and try to help."

You fight for this sharing method!"

"As we all know, you must watch movies in a movie theater to get the greatest visual and auditory enjoyment." Zhou Shaoming stood up and waved his hands to add more force to his tone: "And the advertisements in movie theaters have always been convenient.

It has become a battleground for military strategists. I think that no matter how they learn about the film outside the cinema, or they see some advertisements that make them interested in the film itself, and then go to the cinema to buy tickets, the audience will buy tickets at the cinema.

They stay in the cinema for ten to twenty minutes, and during these ten to twenty minutes, their eyeballs are extremely affected and stimulated by the advertisements in the cinema. The audience is extremely susceptible to stimulation by posters, promotional videos, etc.

, and changing the original intention to buy tickets for another movie is also the biggest feature of impulsive consumption. Let me give you an example. Tobin Bell is an ordinary viewer. He wants to go to a movie tonight. At first he

What he wanted to watch was the movie "The Man From Another Dimension". But when he walked into the cinema, he was greeted by the huge promotional poster of "Saw", the three-dimensional shapes of various terrifying killing machines, and the beautiful director.

The filmmakers handed out leaflets and asked Tobin to try to experience the killing machine, such as experiencing the horror of the cross-cutting rail car in our movie that roars and goes straight to the head. Through these extremely attractive stimuli, Tobin

I was full of interest in "Saw", so I naturally changed my mind and bought movie tickets for this film instead. My original idea of ​​watching the movie was successfully diverted by our promotional methods. This is a classic and will never be

Backward terminal interception marketing method!"

"Terminal interception? Put a death mechanism in the cinema so that the audience can experience it directly? This idea sounds good, but our publicity expenses will also increase greatly!" Jon sipped coffee and thought carefully, and then he was a little worried that the publicity expenses would exceed

Mental acceptance.

"We don't need to invest heavily in every cinema. We need to concentrate resources and first invest in the 100 cinemas with the best geographical location and the most suitable environment for trial screenings. The other cinemas will stand still, causing a starvation effect in the market. If the response is enthusiastic, we will increase the number of screenings.

, full bloom!" Zhou Shaoming waved his hand heavily, as if a general commanding thousands of troops issued an order for a general attack, so irresistible.

"Hunger effect?" Jon quickly understood the word and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's do this. The proportion of the share is based on your idea. Our authority is limited and we can't reply to you immediately. We have to give feedback to the boss. Of course, your idea touches me, and I will try my best to fight for you. Now I can

Said, in principle, we passed the film review!"

-------

Zhou Shaoming ran crazily on the street. He didn't know how to express the excitement in his heart. He could only run and run as hard as he could.

Run, run, keep running!

Zhou Shaoming felt like a child after school, excited. His excitement could no longer be expressed in words. It seemed that only by running with all his strength could he vent the most boiling emotions deep in his heart.

She rushed into the temporarily rented apartment and opened the door. Christina was cleaning the room. She raised her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead that was leaking slightly, then opened a bright and charming smile and asked with concern: "

How about Zhou? They..."

Before she could ask any urgent questions, Zhou Shaoming rushed over, hugged her excitedly, and kissed her delicate mouth fiercely, blocking all her questions back. At this time, all that was needed was a passionate kiss full of passion.

A kiss, a kiss with all your heart.

Christina closed her eyes and was intoxicated by Zhou Shaoming's deep kiss. She responded warmly and affectionately, gently hugged his neck, and responded to this gentle kiss with all her happiness.

It is now June 23, and Lionsgate Film Company finally agreed to put "Saw" on the screen. After several difficult negotiations, the conditions were met with concessions that satisfied Zhou Shaoming.

50-50 split, Zhou Shaoming's side can get 50% of the profit, while Lionsgate can only get the other 50%, and they have to invest no less than 5 million US dollars in promoting the movie, of which 1 million US dollars are used to produce various characters in the movie.

The props of a kind of physical killing machine are placed in the cinema, and more parts are various large posters, three-dimensional models, and promotional videos and advertisements on the Internet, radio, and TV.

The first batch of 100 cinemas to release the film on a small scale will be scheduled for October 21, 1999, concentrated in the largest ticket warehouse cities in the United States. If the market responds well, it will be released on a large scale during the Halloween period.

A week later, Zhou Shaoming and Christina arrived at Los Angeles International Airport together.

After being introduced by Jon of Lionsgate Film Company, Christina passed the audition and participated in the second female lead in a love movie shot on location in Hawaii. Now she is about to get on a plane and go to Hawaii to participate in the performance.

Although this movie has no impression in Zhou Shaoming's mind, it can be seen that it is not a movie with high box office or reputation, but Zhou Shaoming still encourages Christina to participate. Now she needs more movie acting experience and needs better

learning and training.

Although Christina was very happy, she was always reluctant to separate from Zhou Shaoming. On the contrary, it was Zhou Shaoming who persuaded her for a long time before Christina agreed to go filming first.
