This Star Wants To Retire

""White Night Chasing the Murderer"." Guan Fei carefully chewed the name of this web drama.

"What do you mean by white night?" he thought to himself.

Is it a natural phenomenon, or day and night?

Or..... is there another metaphor?

Guan Fei checked the time, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

"It's still early," he thought.

"Then watch it now. When I see ten o'clock, I'll go wash up and go to bed." Guan Fei vowed.

On days when he's not working, he adjusts his body clock.

After all, there is not much natural hair left, and hair transplants are really expensive, and he is still in debt, so he dare not spend like this.

Then…….

The next day, Luo Mo woke up early in the morning and saw a WeChat message that Guan Fei had sent him at 5:49 in the morning.

"This show is awesome!"

………

………

From the perspective of content and plot structure, "White Night Chasing the Murder" and "Forensic Qin Ming" take different routes.

This is what Guan Fei admires Luo Mo very much. This young man never seems to be able to rest on his laurels.

He can always have new tricks, and he can always play new routines.

As a director, this can also make you more motivated, otherwise, you will feel tired from shooting.

Well, reading the script all night is a very small price to pay.

"It's the actors of this play, it's a little hard to find." Guan Fei thought to himself.

Acting skills are not generally high.

According to the plot, due to some special reasons, the elder brother and the younger brother can only share one identity and appear in the public eye to investigate the case.

That's why Luo Mo said that one person should play four roles in this play.

Moreover, in Luo Mo's script, there are several close-up scenes clearly written.

"It is necessary to shoot light and shadow effects on one face, and then half of the face will give people the impression of an older brother, and the other half of the face will give people the impression of a younger brother." Guan Fei felt like scolding his mother when he saw it.

Anyway, you just write in hell mode, and then act as the shopkeeper, let me shoot it!

"In terms of casting, Zhou Tong is a good choice." Guan Fei thought to himself.

But everything has to be auditioned to know.

Although the performance requirements of this show are very high, Guan Fei is not too worried about casting roles.

Anyway, with the support of the National Theater, there are so many good actors in it, it should not be difficult to find suitable ones.

For "White Night Chasing the Murder", Guan Fei is full of confidence.

He felt that this would be another classic!

With the addition of Luo Mo's [Mist Theater], Penguin Video may soar to the sky today and dominate the whole year!

After thinking about it, Guan Fei asked Luo Mo a question.

"This drama obviously has a second season, so the second season will be filmed next year? Then it will be broadcast in [Mist Theater] next year?"

In the end, the reply he received was:

"you guess."

………

………

Time went backwards, and half a month passed by in a flash.

For the new films of Wang Rong and others, the final box office can already be estimated more accurately.

In the past few days, there are two more directors in the [Ten Billion Box Office Project], and their new films are officially released.

These two movies are also okay, but neither shows any signs of being a big hit at the box office.

In this way, it means that there are only four new directors whose new films have not yet been released in theaters.

Among the four directors, Li Dongliang's film was the latest, scheduled for mid-August.

For the remaining three, it is either the end of July or the beginning of August.

In fact, Li Dongliang also wanted to release it a few days earlier.

After all, if it is released in mid-August, it means that in another two weeks, the summer vacation will be over.

However, something went wrong in the middle of his film, and a supporting role was exposed to a scandal of a nasty nature, so he had to perform an AI face change and re-edit in the later stage.

To be honest, these days, I'm really afraid that a rat droppings will spoil a pot of porridge.

This forced Li Dongliang to postpone the release of the new film "The Story of the Demon Kingdom".

For this new film, Li Dongliang has very high expectations.

What he is planning is not only the domestic market, but the entire Asian market.

Because there are many well-known foreign actors participating in this movie, and it will be screened in many countries at that time.

This kind of operation has become more popular in recent years.

Many directors also like to use foreign box office to prove their ability.

But the vast majority of these films tend to be unflattering, the box office is not too high, and the word of mouth is mostly bad.

Of course, if the filming is really good, the content is good, and if it can please both parties, then naturally it can make a lot of money.

Li Dongliang is very confident about this. After all, this movie involves many myths and stories in China, and these stories have far-reaching influence in many Asian countries.

After all, our cultural output in ancient times was very powerful.

On the other hand, Luo Mo asked the employees of the studio to contact several major theaters in China.

He did this not for the purpose of exchanging benefits in exchange for a larger first-day film schedule.

He did it because he wanted to arrange some [point screenings] for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

The so-called [point screening] is to find a few pilot sites and screen the film before it is released nationwide.

Usually, that is to arrange a few games, or dozens of games.

This behavior is actually testing the waters.

These audiences are like guinea pigs.

You can understand the potential of a movie through their movie-watching feedback.

But Luo Mo didn't intend to make such a fuss.

"What's the point of arranging dozens of games?"

"We don't need to test the waters at all."

In Blue Star, there has never been a phenomenon of [large-scale screening].

This kind of operation is actually very annoying.

Although it has not been officially released, and the movie is not available all over the country at all, there are many screenings and many cities.

Good guy, you call this day's more than 10,000 movies on demand?

Is your [point] more than 10,000 points?

This is how "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was played on Earth back then.

In the beginning, only on June 25th, there were two screenings.

On June 26, there were 11 games.

All this looks quite normal.

Then, as soon as June 30, it surged to 14,000 games! Won nearly 15 million box office.

On July 1st, 23,000 shows were directly "screened" and won a box office of 35 million!

The entire movie was screened on a large scale for four full days before it was officially released nationwide.

A movie that has not yet been officially released has a total box office of more than 160 million!

In terms of box office, it is still secondary.

The super high reputation is the scariest thing!

The propaganda effect this can have is extremely terrifying.

This will make the box office explode on the first day of the movie's official release, and then go all the way up.

At the same time, this kind of operation will also allow the major theaters to tilt their resources when scheduling films on the first day.

"This movie was so hot when it was [screened], and the word of mouth is still so good, why don't you hurry up and line up a few more shows for it?"

This kind of show operation, there is another fierce movie on the earth, and it is also done.

That was "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", which was released the following year.

It was also directly screened on a large scale. Before it was released nationwide, the cumulative box office was already very high, and the word-of-mouth has been directly fermented!

This is actually a relatively alternative marketing method and publicity method.

At this time, after understanding the meaning of Luo Mo's studio, the major theaters of Lanxing Huaxia were all dumbfounded.

"How many?"

"How many screenings do you want to schedule!?"

For the department in charge of arranging films, this is a request to refresh the three views.

It's the first time I heard that there are still people who [click to show] like this.

What was going on in Luo Mo's mind?

And why does he think we'll mess around with him like this?

The people in charge of the major cinema chains are very clear about the significance of this operation of [Dianying].

If the feedback after screenings is good, then we can increase publicity and investment in this area.

If the feedback after the screening is not good, you can adjust the direction of publicity and distribution, and use other methods to promote it, so as to avoid gaps in the audience's viewing process, and use this to make up for it.

Of course, there are also ways to directly reduce the cost of publicity.

But what is Luo Mo thinking?

"Even if young people are whimsical, they must have a limit."

"We won't play with you!"

Luo Mo quickly got feedback from the studio staff that most of the major theaters across the country were unwilling to play with him like this.

Luo Mo was not surprised by this either.

"It's still the golden age of [Roadshow]." Luo Mo said in his heart.

The so-called "road show" means that the film's main creative team runs around in major cities, and every time they arrive in a city, they will show a few shows.

This mode will invite some local audiences, as well as the media, or celebrity friends, to come and watch.

You usually see a group of movie stars on the Internet, standing in front of the big screen, answering questions from various media, basically in the [road show].

Like on Earth, in 2015, the 20 main creators of the movie "Unexpectedly" ran 100 cities in 35 days and had 500 road shows, becoming the "movie road show record holder" at that time.

In the same year, "Pancake Man" also ran wildly on the road show, running 31 cities and 188 movie theaters, with a total mileage of more than 2,000 kilometers.

To be honest, this is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.

This model is actually to create a word-of-mouth effect and let theaters see the potential of the film, thereby increasing the number of films scheduled.

However, the risk of [Road Show] is relatively low, because there are not many shows, and the media invited are all screened, and the main creative team is on the scene, so the effect will definitely be different.

[Dianying] The audiences are all real audiences!

However, the world is like this, there will always be a new model to replace the old model.

"It's just that the first person to eat crabs is always more difficult to operate." Luo Mo thought to himself.

Fortunately, another half an hour later, he heard a piece of good news.

An employee of the studio called him and said, "Boss, the Cintiq Cinemas didn't directly reject it. They said they would hold a small meeting today to discuss this matter, and give us an answer before five o'clock in the afternoon!"

(ps: The second update, ask for a monthly pass.

Also, a new book about entertainment, "I Who Wanted to Lose Fans, But I Became a Heavenly King", tsk, the name is so long. )
