Chapter 78: Not a layman

　　 The golden ponytail combed the back of his head, revealing a pair of big talking eyes, Amanda Seyfried carrying the paper bag, walked briskly into the writing room, saw the company nameplate, and made sure it was not wrong.
　　 "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 is impossible to refuse. This person quickly said: "Yes, in the office."
　　 Just as Mary came in from outside, she glanced at Amanda Seyfried, which seemed a bit familiar.
　　 "Are you looking for Ronan?" she asked.
　　 Amanda also looked at Mary familiarly, as if she had seen her in the crew, and quickly said: "Yeah." She lifted her handbag and gestured: "I'll give him something."
　　Mary looked at the handbag and said, "Come with me."
　　 When she came to Ronan's office door, she knocked on the door and waited for the sound of asking to come in, and then she took Amanda Seyfried in.
　　 "Hello, Amanda." Ronan greeted the blonde girl: "Sit down."
　　 Amanda Seyfried put the handbag on the desk first, and then sat on a chair.
　　 Mary turned around to leave. Ronan coughed and pointed to the office door. Mary nodded lightly and did not close the door again when she went out.
　　 Amanda Seyfried pushed the tote bag towards Ronan and said, "Your favorite cupcakes."
　　 Ronan did not refuse, opened the handbag and glanced, smiled and said, "Thank you."
　　 He put away the handbag, opened a drawer, and looked for a suitable gift in return.
　　 Amanda Seyfried said again: "No thanks, this is an appointment we made when we were on the crew. I contacted you several times, but you were not free. I can only eat the cakes that I made."
　　 Ronan found the right one: "I was a bit busy some time ago."
It was a box of chocolates, used to replenish energy when I was busy at work, and I pushed it to Amanda Seyfried: "Every time I eat your cake, I never give you a gift. This is the chocolate I bought when I went to Germany. You take it back and taste it."
　　 Amanda Seyfried took it directly: "Then I'm welcome." She flipped through the box and looked back and forth: "German chocolate, I haven't eaten it yet."
　　 "The taste is okay, it's too sweet for me." Ronan doesn't like these western sweets very much. "If you like it, I'll send it to Germany."
　　 Amanda Seyfried hugged her arms and said, "Then we are settled."
　　 Ronan nodded first, and then asked, "How did you come here? Where is your mother?"
　　 Amanda Seyfried replied: "Mom went to the supermarket in front to buy things, and come over to follow me in a while."
　　As soon as the words fell, the phone ringing rang in the small bag she was carrying.
　　 Amanda Seyfried answered the call and said something, 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, "Give everyone a point. Someone will treat you."
　　 That Mrs. Seyfried is really a caring person.
You don’t need to think too much, you can guess her thoughts, "Human Removal Project" is successful, and Shahai Entertainment will definitely produce more movies in the future, and there may be a role suitable for Amanda Seyfried. Familiarity and favorability are very likely to become decisive factors.
　　 Don’t talk about anything else, even now, if there is a role and other small actors who audition similar to Amanda Seyfried, the person chosen is definitely Amanda Seyfried.
　　 If Amanda Seyfried succeeds as always, Mrs. Seyfried's role is very crucial.
　　 The next day, Ronan came to Embassy Pictures to discuss the release of "Death Is Coming".
　　 "If it's scheduled to be released in December, you can't get too close to Christmas."
　　 In the conference room, Garcia said while thinking: "The Christmas competition is too fierce. Our production scale and film type do not have advantages. It is very likely that we will be caught in a market war."
　　He paused for a while, then said, "Early December is the best choice."
　　 Ronan nodded slowly: "It makes sense."
　　 Robert also expressed his opinion: "The first weekend?"
　　 Ronan asked: "Which major production films are currently scheduled for the first weekend of December?"
　　 "There is no major production for the time being." It was Thomas, the director of the channel department of the theater: "If it is this weekend, the production budget of "Death is Coming" is the highest."
　　 Ronan still asked the professionals: "It is this weekend?"
　　 Garcia nodded: "It's scheduled for the first weekend of December."
　　 Ronan added: "The work on distribution channels is about to start now. My requirements are very simple. For theaters, make sure that "Death is Coming" can be opened in more than 2,000 theaters. The more screens and filming, the better."
　　Thomas, director of the channel department of the theater, responded: "I will make a plan."
"Video tapes and DVDs." Although Ronan is unable to understand the specific details of the distribution, he is still relatively clear about how to do it. Not to mention that he has studied the distribution model of Hollywood. After he came here, look at the relevant systems and cases. Had a lot. Therefore, he acted like an expert: "At the same time as the film was released, he began to contact manufacturers to produce video tapes and DVDs, and the distribution should be completed before 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 marketing channels for video tapes and DVDs."
　　 Ronan reminded: "The copyright of the new media is independent. If you can't sell it at a suitable price, you can stay temporarily. There will be better returns in the future."
　　 This time is considered to be an independent release, and there is no need to be subject to many restrictions like the "Human Elimination Project". If the Internet copyright of the film is now sold in a five-year or ten-year long-term contract, it will benefit from it.
　　Terry, who is in charge of peripheral channels, asked: "What about other copyrights?"
　　 Garcia did not speak, but listened and observed more. From the words just now, he could see that Ronan Anderson was no stranger to the release of the film.
Ronan thought for a while and said: "TV copyright has two strategies. If the film box office is successful, the TV copyright will be split, and the first broadcast rights will be negotiated separately, and future broadcasts will be as per-per as possible. Fees. If the box office loses, the copyright will be sold out at once."
　　 Garcia nodded secretly, as long as the film is successful, it will undoubtedly guarantee the greatest profit.
　　 "Derivatives..." Ronan said, "I will let the crew design a few special props~EbookFREE.me~ to make them appropriately at that time, and if the response is good, we will distribute the goods on a large scale."
　　 The derivatives market for horror films has always been small, and most of them are unattended throughout the year, and it breaks out once when Halloween comes.
　　 The general direction was set, and more implementation details were discussed.
　　 "What about publicity?" Garcia asked.
　　 Ronan thought about it: "Don't worry, we have limited funds. We will wait until the filming is completed before we start large-scale publicity."
　　 The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and more of it was discussing the release.
Distribution sounds very simple. Most of North American theaters are in the hands of six or seven chain theater companies. From the outside, it seems that publishers make calls with regular customers, come to communicate and coordinate, display products, and then advertise. Something like that will do.
　　 Indeed, distribution is just a few things, but if you don’t enter this circle, you don’t have to lay out channels in advance, you can’t even enter the gates of theater companies.
　　 Anyone who has been a channel will have a deep understanding.
　　 At the end of the meeting, Ronan and Robert took the lead out of the meeting room, and the others also left.
　　 There is no one around, Garcia lowered his voice and asked: "Thomas, what do you think?"
　　 The channel manager of the theater said: "I'm not a layman, and the points I said are organized and targeted."
　　 Garcia nodded slightly: "I have a feeling that Ronan Anderson's acquisition is only the company's channel."
　　 Thomas smiled and said, "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 for so many years, and we need to use a movie to prove our ability."
