Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 36 36. Schedule Sniper
When Chen Li was about to find the next theater, Wei Hantian called.

"Old Wei?"

"Xiao Chen, is your search for a theater going smoothly?"

Chen Li's heart moved. It seemed that Mr. Wei knew about it. He could only say truthfully: "We encountered some problems."

"Okay, what's the name of your new movie?"

"It's called "Record of Ghosts"."

"Okay, I have an old friend who has opened a theater chain. Although it is not big, it has dozens of theaters and hundreds of screens. Let me help you see if we can cooperate." Wei Hantian said with a smile.

Chen Li lamented that Mr. Wei was willing to help even though he had never seen his finished film. He was very touched by this trust.

Wei Hantian directly dialed a number and went out. After a while, an old voice came and said cheerfully:

"Old Wei, you old guy can't even make two phone calls a year. Now you're calling me to ask me if you need help with something?"

"Well, Wang Chenghan, you really guessed it. There is indeed something 'arranged' for you to do!" Wei Hantian scolded with a smile, specially emphasizing the word "arrangement", not to be outdone.

After the two joked with each other for a while, Wei Hantian said bluntly: "You remember that you have a home called Xincheng Cinema, right?"

"You think it's a temple but you're still sincere, you're called Xingchen!" Wang Chenghan puffed his beard and glared.

"Hahaha, no matter what it's called, a friend of mine recently filmed the movie "The Ghost Story". Your theater should arrange for it to be released in the summer."

"Okay, you, Wei, are already talking about gold. How can I not help you with this?"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Chenghan immediately called the theater manager to the office to explain the matter.

When the theater manager heard this request, he was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, the competition in the summer season is too great. In the past few days, many producers have come to us and said that they want to increase the film schedule. I have already rejected them. There’s a saturation of movies now.”

"And I also know that this young man named Chen Li has been very popular in variety shows recently, and "Buried Alive" has a good reputation on the Internet. But when I look at his operation in making theater movies this time, he may be overturned. If Scheduling movies for him would be risky and waste resources."

Wang Chenghan listened carefully to his subordinate's analysis and knew that he was also thinking about the company, so he smiled and said: "In many cases, you can't just look at the immediate interests. I have known Lao Wei for so many years, and I have never seen him ask me for help for anyone. You should try your best to arrange it this time."

What else could the theater manager say? He could only respond: "Okay, Mr. Wang, let me get in touch."

Soon, Chen Li received a call from a middle-aged man.

"Is this Mr. Chen? I am Jiang Hao, the manager of Xingchen Cinema. We have learned about your situation. This movie will be scheduled to be released in the summer. However, the summer schedule this year is very tight. We can only schedule 12% of the film. What do you think?"

Chen Li was surprised. He didn't expect the speed to be so fast. Although it was only 12%, it was already good. If he tried to fight for it himself, he might not get so much.

So he smiled and said, "Okay, that's enough."

Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. As a favor task personally issued by the leader, he was also worried about offending others if the arrangement was not good this time. Fortunately, the other party was not very difficult and did not make excessive demands.

Both parties were very satisfied. In the afternoon of the same day, the contract was signed, and Chen Li also copied the source of his film to the theater.

I kept getting rejected in the morning, but suddenly in the afternoon?

This sudden turn of events also surprised the water friends in the live broadcast room.

"There are really theaters that are willing to release it, haha. As a fan, I will still support it when the time comes."

"They say it's bad, but I want to see how bad it is."

"Are you okay? You've all seen the filming process. Isn't that kind of work just feeding shit to the audience?"

""Record of Ghosts"? Haha, where did the ghost come from? It's so funny." "It must be a romance movie."

"Didn't this guy release any materials? Or did he say he didn't do it? It's too perfunctory."

"Mr. Wei is a noble man. Chen Li is so lucky."

"."

Chen Li planned to buy some fruit to thank Mr. Wei, but when he went there, he found that the other party was on a business trip again.

In the evening, Liu Wanxin and Wang Li came back. Because things went smoothly, both of them had smiles on their faces.

Liu Wanxin was even more happy when she heard that Chen Li was scheduled to be scheduled. She threatened to celebrate, so she went to buy groceries and prepare to cook it herself.

"Is this Mr. Wei's help?" Liu Wanxin raised her wine glass and touched it with Chen Li, feeling very grateful to this enthusiastic teacher.

"Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Wei, I would still be wandering around like a headless fly." Chen Li said with a smile.

Wang Li, who came over with the barbecue, suddenly said: "By the way, Chen Li, where is your publicity plan? Let me tell you, good publicity is so important?"

Of course Chen Li knows this. Publicity is not the same as buying trolls. It is more about maximizing content and hot topics and quickly breaking through the circle to attract viewers.

It is one thing for a movie to be of good quality, but if the promotion and distribution fails to keep up, it will greatly affect the box office performance. Even if the movie is bad, the marketing plan is amazing and it can make it fly.

In the last life, Chen Li had seen many cases of super gods. For example, "Who is Peggy" was one of them. He broke the social media platform with a touching short film. It became a huge hit and brought countless people into the cinema. , which shows the importance of publicity.

Of course, Chen Li cannot replicate such an example at this stage, but he has new ideas.

I saw him grinning: "Xuanfa, I'm going to do something special."

I don't know why, but everyone got goosebumps when they saw him smiling like this.

You're not going to have to make a living again, are you?

"What are you going to do?" Liu Wanxin asked curiously.

Chen Li came closer and whispered something in her ear. Liu Wanxin suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

On the other side, Tiancheng Entertainment.

Liu Hui, the director of the film business department, happened to see the news that Chen Li's movie was scheduled to be released, and he immediately sneered.

The scene of the last play is still vivid in my mind, so that some netizens have been laughing at me in the past few days.

Haha, he has been a minister for so long and has never been treated like this. He picked up the phone on his desk and called the publicity department.

"I remember we have a movie to be released in the summer, right?"

"Yes, Minister Liu, it's the thriller "The Broken Hand" directed by Guo Dehai in the first half of the year."

"Thriller? Well, the release date will be adjusted. It must be released on the same day as Chen Li's new movie."

"Okay, Minister."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Hui shook his head and said sarcastically: "You have offended Tiancheng, do you still think you can make money by showing it safely? You are thinking too much."

This kind of thing does not need to be reported. He believes that the company boss would be very willing to see Chen Li and Liu Wanxin's movie being sniped.
