After hanging up the phone, Gao Mang began to contact movie theaters to secure film schedules for the new movie.
Since the filming of "Hello! Mr. Tree" is now irreversible, Gao Mang has no choice but to accept it silently. What Gao Mang can do now is to get more film schedules for this movie.
However, after Gao Mang got to know it, most movie theaters were not very optimistic about "Hello! Mr. Tree".
Several major theater chains, including Baida Cinema and Jincheng Cinema, are only willing to give 7% or 8% of their film schedules. Only Penguin Cinema is willing to give 15%.
The so-called film schedule is actually the screening space that a movie enjoys in the theater. The higher the film schedule, the more screenings it will have. It is like the lifeline of the film and greatly affects the box office performance.
If a movie's screening volume is less than 5%, it can almost be called a bad movie that is very unpopular.
And if the film schedule can reach 5% to 10%, it will be an ordinary movie. Although the potential is not great, it will have no success.
If the number of films scheduled can reach 10 to 20%, it can prove that this is a movie with good potential. At least it has attracted a lot of attention and expectations before it is released.
If theaters can schedule more than 20% of the movie, it will be enough to prove that this movie has great potential and has a high possibility of setting a box office record.
After trying many times, Gao Mang got the same answer. "Hello! Mr. Tree" was indeed not favored by theaters. No matter what Gao Mang said, the maximum number of films he could give was only 15%.
.
Thinking that this news must be known to Yang Bei, it can be regarded as giving Yang Bei a vaccination first.
Gao Mang could tell that this time Yang Bei attached great importance to "Hello! Mr. Tree", even more than before.
This time Yang Bei's image in the play also has a very big breakthrough. In order to get closer to the character, Yang Bei even smokes and drinks every day, just to find the feeling of the character in the play.
In addition, Yang Bei put in too much energy for this movie shooting.
However, the number of movies scheduled by movie theaters is now so pitiful that Gao Mang doesn't even know how he should mention this matter to Yang Bei.
After hesitating for a whole day, Gao Mang still called Yang Bei in the evening.
In the film and television city on the outskirts of Beijing, almost all the crew have finished work and gone home. However, Yang Bei is still persisting silently, and Chi Jiang is also there. The two of them are still studying how to express the eyes in a shot better.
to convey emotions.
When the phone rang, Yang Bei didn't hear it at all.
After making several calls, no one answered.
Gao Mang looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. According to normal times, the filming should have ended. However, Yang Bei never answered the phone, which made Gao Mang slightly worried.
Gao Mang comforted himself that Yang Bei must have had something temporarily unavailable to receive the call.
Gao Mang waited for a while at home, but still couldn't get Yang Bei's call.
This made the calm Gao Mang a little anxious. She got up and changed her clothes and was about to go to the film and television city in the suburbs. Just when she was about to go out, the phone finally rang...
…
Yang Bei and Gao Mang gave a brief explanation so that Gao Mang didn't need to worry.
After knowing that Yang Bei was discussing the filming of the movie with Chi Jiang just now, Gao Mang was relieved. However, when he heard that Yang Bei was so late and had not even eaten for the filming of the movie, Gao Mang was a little hesitant.
, I don’t know how I should tell Yang Bei clearly about the film schedule.
"Actually... I contacted the major theater chains today and wanted to ask them about their estimate of the number of films scheduled for this new movie."
Yang Bei on the other end of the phone had just stepped into the hotel. He was sitting on the sofa and was too tired to pour a glass of water.
"Well, how did it turn out?"
Gao Mang took a deep breath and spoke reluctantly.
"At most, only Penguin Cinemas is willing to provide 15% of the film arrangement, while the remaining few can only provide less than 10% of the film arrangement..."
After Gao Mang frowned and finished speaking in one breath, he felt a little relieved.
Yang Bei on the other end of the phone was silent, and Gao Mang couldn't even hear the slightest sound from the other side.
"It doesn't matter. I'm very confident in this movie. Although the theaters can only give 10% of the movie schedule now, as long as the movie is released and the movie theaters see how good the quality of the movie is, they will definitely give it to them.
Movies have increased their schedule."
It took a long time before Yang Bei spoke.
Yang Bei knew that the reason why Gao Mang called him to inform him was that he didn't want Yang Bei to be disappointed when he learned about the number of films scheduled.
However, Yang Bei has already made this prediction. Although the discussion among netizens is not low this time, and there are also many people who are looking forward to this movie, this does not directly determine the number of films given by the theaters...
Gao Mang called Yang Bei and talked about her worries, but Yang Bei was not impatient. Instead, he kept patiently persuading her and comforting her.
Yang Bei is confident in this "Hello! Mr. Tree". As long as the movie can sell money, those movie theater chains will take the initiative to increase the schedule of the movie when they see the benefits.
The previous two movies had less than 10% of the schedule at the beginning. It was not until after the release that the cinema saw the benefits, and then contacted Beimang Entertainment to increase filming. Yang Bei was fully confident that this time
"Hello! Mr. Tree" is definitely the same...
The filming of "Hello! Mr. Tree" is progressing very quickly and is already more than halfway scheduled. However, "The Sewing Machine Band", which started filming almost at the same time, is only less than halfway through filming.
The filming of the two movies started almost at the same time. Netizens have already concluded that the two movies will be released at the same time. They are even ready to see Beimang Entertainment and Zhengguang Entertainment stage a "War of the Century"
…
However, when Chang Xiaobo was interviewed, when the reporter asked about the filming progress of the movie "Sewing Machine Band", Chang Xiaobo said personally that only one-third of the filming process of "Sewing Machine Band" has been completed.
That's all.
After all, She Ya plays a bass player in the play this time. She knows nothing about bass, so before the filming of the movie started, She Ya even set aside some time to learn to play the bass.
It is precisely because of this that time is wasted.
Chang Xiaobo, deputy general manager of Zhengguang Entertainment Company, regretted that he was still thinking about catching up with Beimang Entertainment's "Hello! Mr. Tree" during filming!
