The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 88: Old Bank

In the very rudimentary studio of the embassy film industry, everyone was silent. Watching the scene that was about to end, several people were rubbing their eyes and foreheads, as if they were very uncomfortable.

The picture on the curtain turned black, announcing the end of the screening. Garcia breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling dizzy and dizzy. If he continued, he might spit it out.

The film that the new boss bought from the Sun Denis Film Festival is worse than the small overseas productions that Embassy Pictures bought from Central Asia for 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars in the past, and it can even be included in all the films he has seen. Worst ranks.

Thomas, director of theater distribution, took off his glasses, found a tissue, and rubbed his eyes for a while.

What a torture.

Is this because the new boss is dissatisfied with the management of the embassy film industry and deliberately tortured them with this kind of torture?

Thomas looked at the director of offline distribution, Terry, who shook his head, apparently not liking this rotten movie either.

Publicity director David Villa was silent, wondering where the promotional point of the film was, but came up with nothing.

Robert turned off the small projector, opened the thick curtains, looked at Ronan sitting in front, his eyes were full of doubts, why did he buy such a film?

Is Ronan going to walk the same muddleheaded road again? The lesson of The Last Jedi...

How does it feel? Ronan asked the fierce Latin girl next to him.

Because of the need to re-edit, he called Jessica Felton over.

Jessica Felton folded her hands on her chest, perhaps because her chest was too soft, her slender arms pressed the towering peaks to the sides, causing the buttons of her shirt to be tightly tied, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

The camera is terrible, amateur level. Jessica Felton is technical, there is no need to say false: The editing is even worse.

She wondered, You couldn't have taken this picture, could you?

Ronan pinched his itchy nose and said, I bought it from the Sun Denis Film Festival.

Jessica Felton was honest: Get rich, but the guy who sold it to you.

The curtains were all drawn at this time, Garcia turned on the light, and the pull-out room was brightened again.

Are you going to discuss this film? Jessica Felton is a technical fanatic, but she is not stupid. She still understands basic interpersonal relationships. Seeing Ronan nodding, she said, I'll go out and take a look, and you're done. Contact me again.

Ronan pulled her away from the busy technical research, and he definitely didn't just watch such a DV video.

Jessica Felton leaves the film room.

Ronan stood up, looked at these key figures in the distribution company, and said, This is the film that I bought out all the copyrights for $80,000 at the Sun Denis Film Festival.

Hearing this, Garcia immediately figured out how long it would take to pay back the cost of releasing video tapes and discs?

I'm going to push this film into theaters. Ronan said again.

Garcia looked at Ronan in surprise, does this kind of film have the significance of being released in theaters? It is estimated that no matter how much money is invested, it will not be recovered.

Terry and Thomas glanced at each other, and they both seemed to see each other's thoughts. Last time, the young man was very professional, and he had financing channels in his hands. They were still rejoicing at the possible bright future of the company.

It's only been a long time, and the layman's side is revealed...

David Villa frowned, how much money is estimated to be lost?

Robert couldn't understand why Ronan suddenly became unreliable?

Ronan could somewhat see the disapproval of his subordinates, and he could even guess the doubts in the hearts of Garcia and others. If he didn't have some capital in his hand, he would never have made the idea of ​​this film.

The production cost of this film is very low, but it also requires a lot of investment to succeed.

I'm going to set up a special distribution team for this film. Ronan was very clear,

Nothing can dispel the doubts in these people's minds now, and they simply said: We need someone to take charge of this distribution team.

He glanced over the faces of several people in the drawing room: Which one of you is willing to take charge of this project?

Thomas is the distribution director of the theatrical chain. He opened his mouth and endured it again. An idea came to his mind uncontrollably. What is he going to do? Deliberately preparing a rubbish project and then excluding dissidents?

When the project fails, the person in charge must take responsibility...

Terry didn't mean to speak. Theatrical distribution was not his business.

Robert looked and saw that no one responded, so he stood up and prepared to take over the project. Maybe Ronan saw something he didn't see.

After all, two trips to Abu Dhabi, combined with the success of The Purge, have proven Ronan's vision and ability to execute.

He had long agreed in his heart that Ronan stood taller than him and George, and could see farther.

But before Robert could speak, Garcia said: I am against releasing this project.

Ronan looked at Garcia, Garcia did not hesitate, and continued to say in a responsible manner to the company: The quality of the film is average, the risk is too high, and it is easy to cause losses.

He thought for a while, and then said: The company has just completed the acquisition. If the first film released fails, it will cause many negative effects. This project must be cautious.

Ronan nodded secretly. These words can reflect Garcia's sense of responsibility. If his boss says he wants to release the film, Garcia will run the film regardless of the quality of the film itself. Then we really have to think carefully about whether this kind of person is suitable. current location.

In fact, Ronan was also investigating secretly.

New company, new personnel, everyone has their own ideas, he can't understand it just by looking at the information.

I have a preliminary idea here...

As Ronan said, he opened his briefcase and handed several copies to the people in the drawing room: Take a look first, this is a plan with viral marketing as the core. Of course, this is only a preliminary plan. The implementation process needs to be developed by professionals like you.”

Garcia didn't speak any more, and looked down at the copy. After reading half a page, he was attracted.

This idea is too unbelievable, has it never happened in Hollywood before? The idea is unconstrained, the question is can it be successful?

Hollywood's inherent model is the safest, right?

Terry and Thomas turned one page, and then looked at the next page. They were three parts shocked, three parts absurd, and three parts thought they could try it.

Robert swallowed, and watched Ronan's vision as fast as he could, and his opinion on that shabby movie suddenly changed.

It seems to be successful, right?

It's not necessarily the case for someone else, after all, such a plan requires strong execution.

But people like Ronan and himself are definitely fine.

A thought flashed through Robert's head: We all made our fortunes by cheating. It's handy to start a business!

David Villa closed the copy, filtering the possible effects of this preliminary plan over and over again in his mind, and making appropriate supplements based on years of experience in the industry.

The embassy film industry has just started, and Ronan is very clear that the two sides are in the initial stage of establishing a trust relationship, and they will not use power to promote until the end.

It's a crazy idea. Garcia looked at Ronan, as if he didn't know what to say. After organizing his words for a while, he said, It's also a plan that may explode public opinion once it succeeds.

Ronan smiled and waited for Garcia to continue.

Garcia took a deep breath: It is highly executable, but the risk is high. Normal people would not bow down just because they saw crazy ideas, but he wondered: If this plan is implemented, the content of the film will exist. Too many loopholes.

Ronan replied: So, I got an editor and prepared to re-edit.

Garcia still has doubts: This kind of marketing strategy may affect the company's reputation.

What Ronan needs is not an answer, so he answered patiently: The distribution company is hidden behind the scenes. This film has nothing to do with the labor union, so there is no need to add the opening title of the Embassy Pictures.

He had thought about it a long time ago, and even stated in the additional terms of the copyright contract he signed: If the film is really successful, wait until the day it is exposed, push the film's director and leading actors to the foreground, and let them enjoy the media's Cheers with the fans, enjoy the light, enjoy everything.

The artisan company that released this film in the previous life seemed to adopt the same strategy. The director and leading actors pierced the sky like shooting stars, and then quickly fell silent.

How the artisan company should operate, or how it operates, has not suffered much negative impact.

Ronan also considered that the director and leading actors of this film had no experience at all, they were all fringe people far away from Hollywood, and it was relatively easy to manipulate them.
