The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 78 Not a layman
The golden ponytail was combed behind her head, revealing a pair of big eyes that could speak. Amanda Seyfried carried the paper bag and walked briskly into the office. When she saw the company nameplate, she made sure that she was in the right place.
Excuse me, who are you looking for? Someone came over and asked.
Amanda Seyfried smiled cutely: I'm looking for Ronan, my mother just contacted him, is he still in the company?
Such a cute girl was simply irresistible, and the man quickly said, Yes, she's in the office.
Just as Mary came in from the outside, she glanced at Amanda Seyfried, as if she looked familiar.
You looking for Ronan? she asked.
Amanda also saw that Mary looked familiar, as if she had seen her on the set, and said quickly, Yeah. She raised her handbag and signaled, I'll deliver something to him.
Mary looked at the bag and said, Come with me.
When she came to Ronan's office door, she knocked on the door and waited for a voice to come in, before she took Amanda Seyfried in.
Hello, Amanda. Ronan greeted the blonde girl, Sit wherever you want.
Amanda Seyfried puts the tote bag on the desk first, then sits in a chair.
Mary turned around and wanted to leave, Ronan coughed and pointed to the office door, Mary nodded slightly immediately, and did not close the door again when she went out.
Amanda Seyfried pushed the tote bag in Ronan's direction and said, Your favorite cupcakes.
Ronan didn't refuse. He opened the handbag and looked at it, and said with a smile, Thank you.
He put away the bag, opened a drawer, and searched for a suitable gift in return.
Amanda Seyfried said again: You're welcome, this is an appointment when we were on the set. I contacted you several times, but you are not free. I can only eat the cakes I made those times.
Ronan found the right one: I was a little busy a while ago.
It was a box of chocolates, which I used to replenish my energy when I was busy at work. I pushed it to Amanda Seyfried: I eat your cake every time, and I didn't give you a gift in return. This is the chocolate I bought when I went to Germany. You take it back and taste it.
Amanda Seyfried picked it up directly: Then I'm not welcome. She flipped through the box and looked back and forth: German chocolate, I haven't eaten it yet.
The taste is okay, but it's too sweet for me. Ronan doesn't like these western sweets very much. If you like it, I'll have it mailed from Germany.
Amanda Seyfried held her in her arms and said, Then we've made a deal.
Ronan nodded first, then asked, How did you get here? Where's your mother?
Amanda Seyfried replied: Mom went shopping in the supermarket ahead, come and pick me up later.
As soon as the words fell, the phone rang in the small bag she was carrying.
Amanda Seyfried said a few words and said to Ronan: Mom is here, I should go. She stood up and waved to Ronan: Goodbye, Ronan.
Ronan smiled and nodded: Goodbye, Amanda.
The figure of the blonde girl quickly disappeared from the door of the company.
Ronan took out the handbag, walked out of the office, handed it to Mary, and said, Giving a share to everyone, someone treats you.
That Mrs. Seyfried was a real sweetheart.
No need to think too much, you can guess her thoughts, Human Purge Project is a success, and Shahai Entertainment will definitely produce more films in the future, and there may be roles suitable for Amanda Seyfried to compete for. Familiarity and favorability are very likely to be the decisive factors.
Not to mention anything else, even now, if there is a role that other young actors perform similarly to Amanda Seyfried in the audition, it will definitely be Amanda Seyfried.
If Amanda Seyfried is to be successful as usual, Mrs. Seyfried will be crucial.
The next day, Ronan came to Embassy Pictures to discuss the release of Death Comes.
If it's scheduled to be released in December, it can't be too close to Christmas.
In the conference room, Garcia said while thinking: Christmas competition is too fierce. Our production scale and film types do not have advantages, and we are likely to fall into market chaos.
He paused for a while, and then said, The best choice is early December.
Ronan nodded slowly: It makes sense.
Robert also weighed in: First weekend?
Ronan asked, What big-budget films are currently scheduled for the first weekend of December?
There are no major productions for the time being. It was Thomas, the director of the theater channel department who spoke: If it were placed this weekend, the production budget of Death is Coming is the highest.
Ronan still asked the professionals: Scheduled for this weekend?
Garcia nodded: It will be the first weekend in December.
Ronan added: The work on distribution channels is about to start now. My request is very simple. In terms of theaters, make sure that Death Comes can be drawn in more than 2,000 theaters. The more screens and film schedules, the better.
Thomas, director of the theater channel department, responded: I will make a plan.
Video tapes and DVDs. Although Ronan couldn't understand the specific details of the distribution, he was relatively clear about how to do it. Not to mention that he had studied the distribution model of Hollywood before. After coming here, see the relevant systems and cases. Lived a lot too. Therefore, he acted like an expert: At the same time as the film was released, I started to contact the manufacturers to make video tapes and DVDs, and the distribution will be completed before the year 2000.
He looked at Garcia: I remember that the company has cooperation agreements with companies such as Blockbuster and Wal-Mart?
Yes, Garcia replied. These two companies are our main distribution channels for videotapes and DVDs.
Ronan reminded: The copyright of the new media is independent, and if it cannot be sold at a suitable price, it will be kept for the time being, and there will be better profits in the future.
This time it is self-published, and it does not have to be subject to many restrictions like Human Purge Project. If the Internet copyright of the film is now sold with a five-year or ten-year contract, it will be profitable.
What about other copyrights? asked Terry, who was in charge of peripheral channels.
Garcia didn't speak, but was more listening and observing. From the words just now, he could see that Ronan Anderson was no stranger to film distribution.
Ronan thought for a while and said, Two strategies have been formulated for the TV copyright. If the film is a big success at the box office, the TV copyright will be split into two parts, the cable pay TV and the wireless public TV station, and the first broadcast rights will be negotiated separately. There is a fee. If the box office fails, the copyright will be sold out in one go.”
Garcia nodded secretly, as long as the film is successful, it will undoubtedly guarantee the maximum profit.
Derivatives... Ronan said: I will ask the crew to design a few special props, and then I will order some appropriately. If the response is good, I will spread the goods on a large scale.
The market for derivatives of horror films has always been small, and most of them are unattended throughout the year, and once Halloween comes, it explodes.
The general direction was settled, and more implementation details were discussed.
What about publicity? Garcia asked.
Ronan had thought about it: Don't worry, we have limited funds, and we will start large-scale publicity after the filming is completed.
The meeting went on for over an hour and was more about distribution.
Distribution sounds simple. Most theaters in North America are in the hands of six or seven theater chain companies. From the outside, it looks as if the distributor is making phone calls with regular customers, communicating and coordinating at home, showing products, and then advertising and so on.
Indeed, distribution is just a few things, but if you don't enter this circle, if you don't pave the way in advance, you won't even be able to enter the gate of theater companies.
Anyone who has done channels will have a deep understanding.
At the end of the meeting, Ronan and Robert left the conference room first, and the others also left one after another.
There was no one around, Garcia lowered his voice and asked, Thomas, what do you think?
The theater channel manager said: I'm not a layman, the points mentioned are organized and targeted.
Garcia nodded slightly: I have a feeling that Ronan Anderson's acquisition is only for the company's channels.
Thomas smiled: This is also a good thing. He is more ambitious and ambitious than the previous three. Our income has increased, and we can release really big movies.
That's what you said. Garcia seemed very confident: We have accumulated so many years, and we need to prove our ability with the explosion of a movie.
