When it comes to how movies should be profitable, Ning Hao's answer is box office, and there is no way to attract advertising sponsorship. He even said he was looking for more investors.

Isn’t this just looking for a surrender?

Further behind, he was talking about the excitement of the script with his side and began to talk to Zhang Ran about the wonderfulness of the script.

Most film directors of this era are like this, only talking about art and creation, no matter how profitable it is, so such films have artistic quality but not commercial nature.

After finally getting a Master Zhang, he was also criticized to death.

So the movie has always been lifeless.

After all, making movies is a business behavior. If you are doing business, you don’t talk about how to make a profit. Who will invest in you and who will give you the capital for big productions?

Directors of this era thought that having a good script would be able to successfully convince the big bosses to easily spend millions or even tens of millions.

But such things are just dreaming. How can such things really happen?

Even if there are novices who are stupid and have a lot of money, they will look for directors from Xiangjiang instead of young tour guides who have just made their fortunes in the mainland.

Seeing Ning Hao explaining the script to him with a silly face, Zhang Ran thought it was also funny.

This is reality, and it is often full of drama.

However, Zhang Ran could understand that Ning Hao had been busy for a lot of time and finally found a "fool" who was interested and willing to invest in his movies. Even if there was only one in ten thousand chance, Ning Hao would still fight for it. What if it could succeed?

Ning Hao was thinking about fooling Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran also thought about fooling Ning Hao.

It just so happens that Ning Hao is now in a downturn. As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help. If Zhang Ran can give Ning Hao some advice and help Ning Hao, it would be that Ning Hao is the destined nobleman and has an extraordinary position in Ning Hao's heart.

In Zhang Ran's memory, Ning Hao was not the one who repaid his kindness with grudges, but he knew how to repay kindness very well.

The last special thanks to King Liu Tianwang, I am not the screenwriter of Medicine God, but the daughter of Boss Han. When I met Tu Zheng and Huangbo, Ge San often gathered together to have fun in the future.

In short, Ning Hao is indeed worth investing in.

But investing is not entirely about giving money, it is too superficial and meaningless.

Zhang Ran pointed out to Ning Hao a few words: "The script is good and the person is good. I can see that you are very talented and ambitious, but some things are wrong!

What's wrong? It would be a pity if you don't go to theaters such a good script! Your positioning was wrong at the beginning!"

Zhang Ran was the first to be arguing, just like a fortune teller. When he saw someone, he said, "I see you have a bloody disaster, so scare people first."

"You can't blame you for this, the main reason is that you don't have much knowledge, so your ideas are still the same.

Most of your generation of directors are taking the international film exhibition route, hoping to be attracted by foreigners, and suddenly a big pie hits the face and becomes famous all over the world.

After all, your seniors Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen have all come here like this.

But the times are changing, and now the times have changed. Since "Heroes" was released two years ago, it has entered a new era."

Many directors are like this. When they entered the industry, no one told them to do this. They followed their instincts or imitated some seniors and followed their paths, but ended up falling into the pit.

It can't get out of the pit of art films!

They think they are awesome, but no one is happy to read their works.

From the perspective of the world, they failed. They themselves felt that they were quite successful, but they kept making things difficult and working behind closed doors until they slowly disappeared.

The times are developing, and those who cannot keep up with the pace can only fall behind.

Zhang Ran instilled Ning Hao with the most important information and concepts in this film era: "Business!

This era is described in two words, that is, "business", and two other words can also be used to replace "box office".

You should be with Feng Xiaogang and director Xiangjiang. How did they make movies?

The script probably creates a good-looking story.

Then I asked someone to invest, saying that it was expected that the box office of Xiangjiang was 30 million, the box office of Wanwan was 20 million, and the mainland would make another 50 million, and then it would make a fucking 100 million!

Regardless of whether you have this ability or not, first blow up the cowhide and draw a big pie to fool the laymen.

As the saying goes, someone does a beheading business, but no one does a lose money business.

Before you make a movie, you think about the movie channel to make some TV movies that are not successful. This is doomed to fail from the beginning! Do you understand?"

“I know you’re trying business, too, but you may not understand what the difference between TV movies and theater movies are!

I tell you that no one invested in your "Big Diamond" to make you a TV movie because it was not in line with their appetite.

Those who watch TV and movies are not the same group of viewers, just like those who watch sketches and dramas are not the same type of people.

The audience of TV movies is the group of people watching TV, and what type of TV series is the most popular one now? Braided dramas, costume dramas!

The movie channel also has to pay attention to ratings, so the TV movies that have been invested in the past two years are mainly costume dramas.

In addition, "Big Diamond" has a local and rural atmosphere. If it were in the north, the local characteristics of the imperial capital were not bad, but it was from the south.

TV series can also be divided into north and south. Although the movie channel is a satellite channel, its audience is more inclined to the northern audience group.

This is the fundamental reason why you have traveled to many places and no one is willing to invest in your TV movies. If you understand the market a little bit, you will know that it is impossible for Big Diamond to succeed in making TV movies."

Whether it is TV or movies, there are specific audiences.

For example, the ratings of "Journey to the West" by the founder of the ghosts a few years ago were also good, but this was mainly in the southern region. Journey to the West was first broadcast in the southern region, but it was cold when it arrived in the north.

Some old stubborn people think this is a blasphemy and make up for it, so they ban it.

Later, Fatty Qian wanted to take a photo again, but when he learned that he could not take a photo of Journey to the West, he changed it to Shi Gandang.

Similarly, there is "Liu Laogen". After Mr. Zhao became famous in the Spring Festival Gala, he also filmed TV very well. Whether it was Liu Laogen or later rural love, the ratings were very good, and he was the top three in the country all year round.

But it is mainly because the north is popular, and the ratings are worse as the south goes. Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou areas do not even accept such TV series. This is the local difference.

"Big Diamond" is so distinctive. Even if the movie channel invests in some realistic movies every year, "Big Diamond" is absolutely impossible to be selected.

Ning Hao felt mixed feelings when he heard Zhang Ran's explanation.

On the one hand, I realized that it was not because he wrote the script badly, nor because he had no fame, but because he was not as good as his appetite, so no one wanted it.

On the other hand, it is really a bit uncomfortable to be said by a person who is doing TV that he doesn't know how to make movies.

Zhang Ran looked at Ning Hao's face and roughly judged what he was thinking.

So he hit a stick and gave him another sweet date.

"Why do I tell you so much? That's because I'm interested in the value of you and "The Big Diamond".

I think there is a chance, so let's work hard. "Big Diamond" has the opportunity to be broadcast on theaters.

After entering theaters, all the shortcomings of "Big Diamond" before became advantages, and its local characteristics are the most attractive parts of the box office.

You should know that the top ten ticket warehouses in the country are mainly southern cities, and there are two in the southwest region alone.

So, now you know what to do? We want to make "Big Diamond" into a theater movie, and if we want to make a fortune, we will make a fucking 100 million!"

Ning Hao was bewitched by Zhang Ran and his heart suddenly became hot.

"I didn't want to become famous, so I just wanted to cheat on the sucker and shoot the script I have always wanted to shoot. Now there is really a project worth 100 million? Do you want to do it? Of course I'll do it!"

"Big Boss, I want to make a theater movie!" Ning Hao said with stars in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
