Disaster Artist

Chapter 189: Finalize the schedule

Zhuo Yuying's gentle words revealed a tenacity. Although she did not understand the twists and turns of the film industry, she was still a sensible person in life.

But Lu Qian didn't think so.

What he wanted to tell Zhuo Yuying was—

Indeed, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to help the Lin Hanzhou family is part of the reason, but to be honest, Lu Qian is not out of touch with reality.

In the current market conditions in Lanchuan, the salary of editors generally fluctuates between 100,000 and 700,000, and occasionally there are top players who can break through 1 million, but the entire industry is only a handful of them; and generally It seems that editors are paid more than 100,000 yuan.

Judging from the numbers, 100,000 is indeed a good price, but the most special thing about the film industry is that it is very likely that if you take this job, you will have to work for a whole month. During the vacancy period, no work can be received.

In other words, this large amount of income may need to persist for more than half a year or even longer, so it will not be so "large".

Two hundred thousand, this is a figure given by Lu Qian after comprehensive consideration of Lin Hanzhou's work content and output quality. It is not low, but not that high.

Lu Qian thought that Zhuo Yuying could accept it calmly.

However, Zhuo Yuying didn't give Lu Qian a chance to speak, and she said it as soon as the conversation changed.

"However, our family needs this money now, your Uncle Lin... I'm afraid I won't be able to work for a long time, and I won't be able to take care of their father and son by myself. You must know this too. Offer to help."

"A Qian, Auntie shamelessly accepted this proposal on behalf of Zhouzhou this time, thank you for your help."

Zhuo Yuying did not refuse.

Lu Qian was a little surprised. He thought he needed to spend some time talking, but looking at Zhuo Yuying's slightly red eyes and stubborn and straight spine, he seemed to understand something—

She retains her pride, but is willing to let go of her pride because she cares about the person she cares about the most. This arrogance radiates from the inside out with a touch of humanity, which not only does not make Zhuo Yuying appear embarrassed, but even more people admire.

Looking at the strength reflected in the tears, Lu Qian's throat was also a little itchy.

But Lu Qian still controlled his emotions and showed a smile to Zhuo Yuying.

"Auntie, I will not abuse Hanzhou."

A small joke immediately made Zhuo Yuying's smile bloom.

In the end, Zhuo Yuying didn't stop at Lu Qian's house too much, looked at Lin Hanzhou who was sleeping, then went home to sort out herself, and hurried to the hospital again.

As for Lin Hanzhou, he stayed and officially became the editor of the "raid".

Here, Lu Qian devoted himself to post-production, hoping to complete all the work on the film as soon as possible.

On that side, Blue Whale Pictures is busy arranging schedules to find a suitable release time for the movie.

"The Raid" is the first film after the establishment of Blue Whale Pictures, and the company is ready to go all the way. People expect companies to go out of business in a hurry when they change owners.

For company employees, no one can know what the finished film will look like after post-production, but at least they can do pre-publicity.

From the box office curve of "Unfriending", we can see the importance of publicity, and even the key key.

So, what schedule should the "raid" choose?

Xiu Zhongjun, CEO of Blue Whale Pictures, knows that schedule selection is a matter of knowledge.

First of all, it can't be too late. For example, the summer season next year will be too slow, and even the spring season will be slightly slow.

First, Blue Whale Pictures is a small company without sufficient capital turnover. It is difficult for them to shoot three or four movies at the same time, and then stagger the schedule. It often takes a movie to finish before the production of the next work can be started.

Second, they need to strike while the iron is hot.

The great success of "Unfriending" brought an unimaginable topic effect to Lu Qian. When the filming of "Raid" started, it also gathered incredible attention. In the Internet age, the speed of change in popularity and traffic is very rapid, so hesitate for a moment. , may be about to miss the opportunity.

If "The Raid" is not released for a while, the topic effect of "Lu Qian" will soon cool down, and then it will become more and more difficult for Blue Whale Pictures to make waves in the fierce competition.

Second, lower expectations.

It is unrealistic to expect that the "Lu Qian effect" can soar to the sky, and then the market appeal of the "raid" will explode in an instant, and it will be unrealistic to reach the top in any schedule, because now Lu Qian is only topical but has no appeal. It is far from being able to attract audiences to spontaneously walk into the cinema.

Then, the schedule and publicity plan of the "raid" must be considered in the long run.

Taking into account different factors, Xiu Zhong finally chose the winter gear.

The winter period, from December to February, also covers the holiday period and the awards season, which is the most special period of the year.

Originally, winter and summer are in stark contrast. People like to stay at home because of the cold. Naturally, they don't have much interest in going to the cinema. Logically speaking, the box office of the movie should be very low, but this time is due to the holidays and awards season. Get special.

From Christmas to New Year's Day to the Lunar New Year, the holidays are one after the other. It is not only a day for family reunion, but also a day to celebrate the New Year. Naturally, new types of movies such as "New Year's Eve" and "Family Gathering" have been formed. 's rosy debut.

At the same time, the end of the year means the conclusion of the year, and the film industry is no exception. Awards ceremonies, big and small, come one after another, which also makes art films and independent films aimed at award ceremonies get together and release one after another, which may not be able to explode at the box office. It was extremely explosive, but it was definitely a carnival for movie lovers, who braved the freezing weather to walk into the cinema to appreciate the charm of the big screen.

Thanks to this, winter stalls also form a unique landscape.

Sometimes ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ some movies hit the box office in the winter season, but because the competitiveness is not as good as the summer season, they can create better results. Currently, the top ten box office records in the world's film history, summer and winter Each file occupies half of the country, regardless of Xuanlin.

Sometimes, some movies are buried. In the face of the excellent quality of art films during the awards season, the shortcomings are magnified, and the audience will become more and more critical. If they are not careful, word-of-mouth may collapse.

Compared with the summer season, the winter season has more uncertainties. Until now, the major film companies have not been able to figure out the internal laws, more or less with the nature of gambling.

But such "uncertainty" is a good thing for "raid", because the prospects of the film are contradictory and complicated.

On the one hand, thanks to the Lu Qian effect, the movie did spark a lot of discussion.

On the other hand, the prospect of retro action movies is really cold sweat, coupled with the lightweight investment cost of movies, there is no capital to challenge in front of many giant crocodiles, and the prospects are even more difficult to predict.

It is out of this comprehensive consideration that Xiu Zhongjun finalized the schedule for the first week of December.
