Chapter 37 Xu Bai's Condition

Xu Bai's study room is very large and has a large collection of books, full of the fragrance of books.

"Shi Xuan, to be honest, your movie really shocked me!"

"Director Xu, you are a big name in the industry, what do you think of the market potential of "Star Wars"?"

"Under normal circumstances, the domestic market will definitely surpass the previous hit "The Return of the Great Sage". And this kind of film is also very suitable for the foreign market. If the operation can keep up, it should be able to compete with "Iron Man" and "Avengers" at the box office. Compare the best-selling movies!"

The domestic box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" is more than 9 million. If it surpasses it, it must be more than one billion. As for the foreign box office, "Iron Man" and "Avengers" are all ranked within the top ten box office blockbusters .

It seems that Xu Bai is very optimistic about the market potential of "Star Wars", which is the same as his own opinion.

Shi Xuan was very excited. He was getting closer to fulfilling Guan Mingde's request. With this movie, he should be able to earn more than [-] million a year.

Seeing Shi Xuan's expression, Xu Bai smiled slightly and said, "However, this is just the box office that can be achieved in normal operations."

"What does Director Xu mean?"

"There are many factors that affect the box office of a movie. Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the movie itself. There are also theater schedules, publicity investment, competition for movies in the same period, and whether it is a holiday... A series of factors will affect the box office performance."

Looking at the dumbfounded Shi Xuan, Xu Bai smiled and continued: "Just talking about the movie theater schedule, it also depends on whether the movie theater schedules movies during prime time or garbage time, whether it is a large theater or a small theater, which will seriously affect the box office results. .”

"There are still many unspoken rules. Audio-visual companies rely on public relations to boost their discovery. Using public relations fees or rebates to manage theater managers is almost an unwritten unspoken rule. Therefore, some bad movies will also perform well at the box office. The hidden detours inside, if you tell a newcomer in the entertainment industry, I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish it in ten days and ten nights.”

Shi Xuan smiled wryly, "I didn't expect it to be so complicated. According to Director Xu, how should I sell this film? The team that produced it needs funds now."

Xu Bai nodded: "I understand very well. After all, to make such special effects, Starfield Digital Studio probably spent a lot of money, and it is normal to need to return."

Shi Xuan nodded, of course he couldn't tell Xu Bai that the Starfield Digital Studio team didn't exist, and that it took only a little bit of his time and brainwork to make this "Star Wars".

Of course Xu Bai would not discover this fact, so after thinking for a while, he said: "I suggest that we choose a large-scale audio-visual company to cooperate with. Starfield Digital will provide the film "Decisive Battle in the Starry Sky", and the audio-visual company will be responsible for all other market operations. , I believe it can get a good box office. It’s just that it will give up a lot of profits to the audio-visual company.”

Shi Xuan nodded in agreement. Wherever you can make all the money by yourself, cooperating with others and sharing profits is the way to go.

Seeing this, Xu Bai said, "I also know the bosses of some audio-visual companies, so I can recommend them to you."

This is what Shi Xuan wanted. Without Xu Bai's help, he took the film to the audio-visual company by himself, and he probably would have been kicked out if he couldn't even meet the person in charge.

"Then trouble Director Xu. If it works, I am willing to give you 100 million yuan from the box office proceeds as an introduction fee." If "Decisive Starry Sky" can get normal market operations, Shi Xuan is confident that it will be better than "The Return of the Great Sage" "It's better, taking out 100 million from the proceeds is nothing.

Xu Bai laughed when he heard the words, and shook his head: "I don't want your money."

"I also know that Director Xu didn't help me for money, but other than money, I don't know how to repay you."

Xu Bai stretched out two fingers, "You promise me two things! I'll help you with this, and I won't charge you a penny."

"Oh? Director Xu, please tell me."

"First, in a few months, I'm going to start filming a new movie. You can find a way to let Starfield Digital cooperate with me to produce special effects. Of course, I will pay a generous production fee according to market rules."

In Xu Bai's mind, this Starfield Digital must be a very large technical team, otherwise it would be impossible to produce such amazing special effects, but for some reason it is hidden, and I have never heard of any clues before.

Shi Xuan laughed secretly in his heart, it was too simple, and said quickly: "No problem!"

But Xu Bai asked suspiciously: "You don't need to ask the team leader's opinion?"

Shi Xuan waved his hand: "I have full authority to decide things like this."

Hearing this, Xu Bai couldn't help but look at Shi Xuan again, it's not easy for this young man to be so trusted by the technical team.

"What's Director Xu's second thing?" Shi Xuan asked again.

"As for the second thing, it's very simple. You agreed to be the protagonist of my new movie."

When Xu Bai watched it just now, he noticed that "Decisive Battle in the Starry Sky" is a cartoon with special effects, which is a bit different from real-life shooting, but the protagonist is set based on Shi Xuan's appearance.

From the effects presented in the film, Xu Bai has confirmed his own judgment. Shi Xuan is very popular with the audience, and he is definitely a person who should be an actor by nature.

Shi Xuan thought for a while, then nodded: "No problem!"

Previously, Shi Xuan had rejected Xu Bai's invitation. At that time, he was worried that he would not have time to make money from making movies. If the movie "Battle of the Stars" becomes a hit this time, he would not have to worry about making money at all.

Seeing that Shi Xuan agreed so readily this time, Xu Bai was startled. He thought Shi Xuan would have to think about it for a while.

Soon, Xu Bai came to his senses, laughed, and asked, "I recommend you to cooperate with Black Hole Media. I have a little friendship with their vice president, Ou Jun. What do you think?"

Black Hole Media is a media company established at the end of the last century. After nearly 20 years of development, it has become the largest private media and entertainment group in China. It can be said to be a super big name in the entertainment industry. If it operates "Battle of the Stars", it will definitely make a lot of money at the box office.

But there are also disadvantages to choosing a large company, which is that you will be at a disadvantage during negotiations and may have to split more profits to it.But these are all follow-up matters. Get in touch first and then negotiate slowly. After all, the quality of "Battle of the Stars" is there.

Shi Xuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll call him now!"

After a while, Xu Bai finished the phone call and said to Shi Xuan: "Unfortunately, Ou Jun is on a business trip to the United States now. But it doesn't matter, he will call back to China to arrange, and tomorrow we will go to the branch of Black Hole Media in Huacheng The company, find the person in charge of Huacheng business, and talk about the initial intention first."

Shi Xuan naturally agreed.

Xu Bai laughed and said, "It's almost lunch time, and there is a nice restaurant next to it. We called the two beauties in the living room, and we went to have a meal together. It's a celebration of today's happy events!"

"That's good." Shi Xuan also agreed with a smile.
