Chapter 46: There should be an audience

　　 "What do you think of this movie?"
　　 "It's okay, at least it can be included in the ranks."
　　 After the movie screening, Gray Enrique walked among the people from the film company. Just when he stepped down to the front hall, he heard several viewers who had passed by before discussing the film.
　　 "I think it's average, not scary."
　　 "A bad movie!"
　　 "You don't understand, you'll know when you step into the society, this film is called Creepy. I will recommend this film at the Mills Fan Conference next week..."
　　 "Well, I can recommend it to guys, but I don't know when the film will be officially released."
　　 Those few people kept walking and walked out of the theater while discussing.
　　 One after another, fans came out again, and people could hear the discussion about the "Human Removal Project" everywhere, both praised and derogated for this film.
　　 Gray Enrique walked out among the crowd and nodded secretly. A movie that can be discussed by fans is a movie that can arouse people's interest.
　　 Some people think it’s good, and some people think it’s bad. This is normal.
　　 At the gate of the theater, Ronan Anderson and the middle-aged man named Robert were waiting here. Gray Enrique greeted them, declined the banquet from each other, and left the theater.
　　 The same people who watched the film at the same time were like him, and soon left.
　　 Ronan sent these people away, a little relieved.
　　 Robert saw no one around him, and said softly: "Will there be some sound of cursing movies, will it have the opposite effect?"
　　 "How can a movie be liked by everyone." Ronan felt that those people did a good job and were worthy of the salary: "It's normal to have praise and scolding."
　　 "Just don't know how much it can do." Robert looked away.
　　 Ronan smiled: "As long as we can slightly affect their choice, we will earn it."
　　 Robert sincerely admires: "You still have more ways to do it."
　　 Ronan slowly said: "The movie itself is the foundation, but outside of the movie, you can think of more ways, and the operation will become more and more important for a movie."
　　 Robert nodded slightly, and suddenly realized that he had been surpassed in all aspects except Ronando's experience.
　　 However, working with such a boss is passionate and motivated, as well as knowledge.
　　 Ronan turned the subject and asked: "Can the copy arrive tonight?"
　　 "Twenty film copies." Robert promised: "It will be delivered on time at eight tonight."
　　 Ronan said again: "I will be delivered tomorrow."
　　The movie watching meeting is just the beginning. A copy of the "Human Removal Project" must be sent to every distribution company that comes over today.
　　 The distribution company often conducts multiple rounds of comprehensive evaluation for films that are intended to be released.
　　 The next day, Ronan asked the company's newly recruited telephone operator to call the corresponding personnel of each issuing company every two days after sending the copies next to him.
　　 "Sir, our "Human Removal Project" is really of great market value. Have you made a decision? Haven't submitted it to your boss? You can invite your boss to watch the movie together..."
　　 In the same week, Ronan made several phone calls in person, and the news he received was basically not very good.
Bran Milner of Warner Bros. first declined the film, and then the one from Hollywood Studios also said that the film did not match the overall style of Disney's live-action movies. Emperor Gate Pictures said that the distribution was OK but it had to buy out the copyright at one time. , Gray of Lionsgate said that his boss has not read the copy...
　　 "Sorry, Ronan."
　　 In the office, Deron is holding the phone in one hand, and his ear in the other: "Xin Xian is not interested in your new film. Let's work together if we have the opportunity."
　　 Hearing an answer on the phone, he hung up, picked up the copy of "Human Removal Project", opened a large cabinet, and piled it up with many dusty copies.
　　 This movie can't even pass his level, so why bother the boss?
　　On the fifth day after watching the movie, Ronan finally got the good news that the distribution company under Sony Entertainment is willing to conduct preliminary negotiations with Shahai Entertainment on the "Human Removal Project".
　　 "Your film has flaws and features."
　　 In the reception room released by Sony, Chris looked at Ronan and said, "Sony Entertainment has the intention of cooperating with your company."
　　 Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I also hope to cooperate with your company."
　　Chris is not too verbose. Sony Entertainment is the holding company of Columbia Pictures. There is no need to waste time on this small production. "Let’s talk about distribution commissions first."
This is the core issue, and there is no need to reach an agreement. He said directly:
Sony Entertainment bought out the global distribution rights of the Human Clearance Project. In terms of distribution commissions, North America’s box office revenue is 30%. The overseas box office is drawn at 40%, and the total income from video tapes, DVDs, all TV copyrights and new media copyrights is drawn at 40%, which is 50%, the general level in the derivatives industry."
　　 Ronan frowned slightly. This is not the highest distribution ratio in the circle, but it is also very demanding.
　　 Some time ago, he saw a few cases. It was also a cooperation between a small production company and a large distribution company. The box office wassuance commission was as high as 40%, and all peripheral income was 50%!
　　 Chris's words are not over yet: "In addition, Sony Entertainment owns the copyright to the sequel of the film."
　　Commercial negotiation, of course, is to obtain the maximum benefit for oneself as much as possible.
　　 "The rake rate is too high." Ronan said slowly: "Unless this film hits the box office, Shahai Entertainment will inevitably lose money."
　　He tried to bargain: "I will talk about the overseas distribution rights and other North American releases after the North American release. The peripheral copyrights will be reduced to 20%, and Shahai Entertainment reserves the sequel copyright..."
Chris raised his hand to stop Ronan from continuing to say: "Mr. Anderson, this is a prerequisite for Sony Entertainment's release." He smiled: "IMHO, so far, no company has expressed cooperation with Shahai Entertainment. intention."
　　 Ronan was not angry, his face was calm, and said, "For the time being."
　　 There is no concealment about this. Chris is undoubtedly an old fox, obviously taking this opportunity to lower prices.
　　The negotiation was so passive, and Ronan expected that Shahai Entertainment lacked the capital to bargain with the other party. After all, Sony Entertainment did not even have a competitor.
　　 It is no exaggeration to say that Shahai Entertainment now needs Sony Entertainment, and it does not matter whether Sony Entertainment has the "Human Removal Project" or not.
　　 Even if the Columbia Pictures of Sony Entertainment Holdings is the worst among the six major Hollywood players.
　　 Ronan thought for a while, thinking that Gray of Lionsgate had said that his boss had not read the copy and decided to postpone it temporarily: "Can I think about it for a few days? I also have a meeting to discuss."
　　 Chris still has this patience, and casually said: "The opportunity is rare. Don't let us wait too long. Our schedule for this year and next year is very full."
　　 Ronan smiled: "At most a week."
　　It takes less than a week to know the true attitude of Lionsgate. After all, Lionsgate has not been established since its establishment, and its distribution business is not much.
　　…………
　　 In the drawing room of Lionsgate, the staff is putting the removed copies in the box. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 Navas, the director of the distribution department, was the first to walk out of the drawing room. Gray quickly took back the questionnaires from everyone, read it roughly, and left the drawing room to his boss's office.
　　 "This film is better than I expected." Navas was wiping his uncomfortable eyes with a tissue: "The advantages are as prominent as the disadvantages."
　　 Gray, as a recommender, certainly has to say something nice: "We have been focusing on horror movies in recent years. Can this be included in this year's release candidate?"
　　 Navas did not answer, but instead asked: "What about the opinions of others?"
　　 Gray put the stack of questionnaires on the desk and said, "Two Bs, three B-, and two Cs."
　　 Although there is no A, Navas nodded, "It's okay."
　　 Even in professional companies, the evaluation of horror films is generally low.
　　 "There is another situation." Gray said as simple as possible: "When watching the film, although many people said that this film is not good-looking, a considerable number of fans said it was good. Oh, yes..."
　　 As he recalled, he said,
In order not to miss the exciting part, some movie fans even walk backwards when going to the bathroom just to see more.

　　 Navas squeezed his chin: "That means this film is very attractive to some people."
　　 Gray nodded: "You can think so."
　　 can make movie fans urinate and go to the bathroom, is this film really so attractive? Navas frowned and thought, if Gray was right, the "Human Removal Project" should have an audience.
　　 Besides, I just tried it internally, and the overall evaluation is also good.
　　 "Let's do a few more rounds of internal trials." He made a decision: "Then, you find Ronan Anderson, and I will talk to him."
