"You are all high-level players in the movie market, some have been satisfied in the past two months and others have not. Don't ignore the sentiment. If after the bursts, there will be a movie that will This year's summer season has achieved success, and it must be "Greek Wedding", a comedy romance, a wedding theme that fits women's fantasies, and is fresh enough to give people a reason to go to the cinema - Greek style. These three points, "Greek Wedding" is the most suitable work to harvest the box office in the post-summer period, I believe that with your experience, you should be able to understand this."

Daniel glanced at everyone's facial expressions. Except for Matthew Fox, who was still disdainful, the other three were thoughtful.

He motioned for staff to hand out a report.

"This is a survey report we commissioned Shanying Company to do. The survey targets men and women of all ages. Men below middle age generally say they have no plans to watch movies in the near future - they are already fed. And women They are not. They have very high expectations for watching movies. They are looking forward to some small-scale comedy films and romance films. However, at the same time, they are also worried about the quality of the films, so they are hesitant. The data are listed in the report, we I believe that at this time, a guaranteed good film can satisfy them and get market feedback.”

"Guaranteed? Daniel, you are very popular, but not everyone will think that you are a guarantee of quality. You have to be an Oscar supporting actor instead of an actor."

Matthew Fox couldn't wait to speak.

This time. Daniel ignored Rita's suggestion and reassurance.

"Matthew, you're right, President Bush didn't have everyone's support. But he still became president, why should I be a guarantee of quality in everyone's mind? That's unrealistic and never Possibly. I don't know exactly how Carmichael Cinema works, and I don't know your attitude to the analysis results, but if you think I, Daniel., can't be a guarantee of quality, by Mr. Tom Hanks Nor can enough people trust the movie. Well. I'm sorry, I may not be able to convince you that you have enough power over your own theater."

"So, Brent. Can you tell me what you think?"

Daniel ignored Matthew Fox, even though his face was already very bad.

"Daniel, do you think there's no difference between releasing a movie and doing a movie? You've never done this, and I've been in the industry for twenty years. Is it possible that your sophistry and a More than just a report on the origin, can it explain the problem? Twenty years of working experience tell me that this is a work that cannot be successful, it is niche, and the people who made it obviously don’t know themselves well.”

Daniel was expressionless, but he was very happy inside.

Yes. Attack me, Matthew, the more straightforward the better. The more direct the better.

In that case, your so-called industry influence will become bullshit, and everyone will think that you are avenging private revenge. That's enough, Carmike is indeed ranked fourth in the US theater chain. But not indispensable in Los Angeles, give up Carmichael. Fighting for regal and Sunnymark is the right thing to do.

Glancing at Rita and David that they don't have to worry.

Daniel looked at Brent.

This older gentleman carefully read Shanying's contract. Just now, Matthew's report was "unknown", which is completely unreasonable. Shanying's reputation has been established in the industry, and the theater chain is their biggest. One of our partners, Carmichael is no exception. It seemed that he was indeed driven mad by Daniel's rudeness.

"Brent, is regal really going to take a risk on such a hopeless movie?"

Matthew instead began to convince Brent.

Yes, let Daniel suffer a big loss, and then he knows that Hollywood is not something that one person can play around with. He can be the darling of the studio, but here in the theater, sorry, he has no extra face.

Maybe it was because he thought that he was still struggling for food and clothing when he was in his early twenties, or maybe it was just because Daniel’s Audemars Piguet watch was more luxurious than his Omega, Matthew had an indescribably negative feeling towards Daniel— — This made many of his peers feel incomprehensible.

This includes Brent.

"I'll think about it, Matthew, I'll think about it, regal will make the right decision, and Carmike has that power."

Brent's unflattering response made Matthew realize something was wrong.

But Daniel didn't give him any more time to think about it.

"The theaters that can determine the film arrangement plan today can be finalized with our staff. DD He will start the distribution of materials and the printing of promotional materials immediately."

This is for those small movie theaters, and it is impossible for the three major levels to be determined at a screening today. There are only so many screens, if you give more, you will cut off others. The interests involved are intricate and need to be followed up step by step, but the next work is for David and Melissa.

dd has made a lot of preparations, not only market analysis and research reports, but also the reputation and evaluation of movie watching in various fields and even various ethnic groups.

The theaters that are willing to confirm the schedule today all stand up and connect with the staff of dd, and the three major theater chains also plan to leave.

"Daniel, your performance surprised me. You are a bit convinced. I look forward to your team's excellent performance." Brent shook hands with Daniel and said goodbye. Tower has a good relationship, and also has goodwill towards Daniel, and is the most assured of the three families. As for Sunnymark, they are still waiting to see regal and the decision, but he holds the report of Shanying Company, which can also explain a little problem.

Matthew Fox actually came to the end.

"Daniel, you really amazed me with your performance."

"I'm honored to hear that."

"But don't think you've made it, they give you a day at most, and if you don't perform well, you'll know how cruel the market is."

"But you already know that now, don't you?"

Daniel didn't plan to get used to Matthew's stinky problems. The interests are two-way. The studio and the theater are on the same side. As long as the interests are big enough, no one will live with hatred. If the performance of "Greek Wedding" is not good, Matthew will of course gloat over the misfortune, but if the result is completely the opposite and the performance is very good, it is impossible for Carmike to insist on not showing it - if nothing else, Matthew is just Carmack in the Los Angeles area. The person in charge, there are many bosses above him.

"This time, you **** him off." Rita stood beside Daniel. "He's a grumpy guy."

"I see, but don't worry, I have confidence in "Greek Wedding"."

"Do you think regal will accept our request?"

"The blockbusters are slowly reaping the box office, while the new ones are not in their early stage. At this time, I took out the screen to test the waters of "Greek Wedding", which is not as difficult as we thought, and the single screen of "Spider-Man" has dropped to less than one It's $1,500, and even The Bourne Bourne is only in the early 250s. Besides, I'm a hot actor after all, isn't it? And I'm also a guy who wants to get involved in investment and distribution. Who knows if we'll be next time? Doing something like The Bourne Bourne? They've got to have some sympathy for the next time they compete for the first-run screenings."

This is another small point where publishers dominate theaters.

Some popular films usually have a first-round screening, that is, to control the number of screenings in a certain area to form a promotion for the viewing group, and limited resources will always arouse more interest.

Although the first round of screening rights generally lasts for a short period of time, it will always cause some losses to the theater - especially for long-awaited films, the first course is still very worth eating.

Interestingly, the first-round screening rights are often a weapon that separates large-scale theaters from independent theaters. Generally speaking, when competing for the first-round screening rights, the conditions given by large-scale theaters are not as good as independent theaters, but the distribution In order to strive for theater chains to arrange more films for their films nationwide, Shang will ignore independent theaters with better conditions - this violates the control measures of U.S. law on theater chains, but it often exists - this is after all a problem. what you want.

This time the independent cinema gave Daniel a surprise. He had to thank Mr. Exxon Cooper. His decision made the cinema chains more carefully consider-the three major cinema chains account for more than 40% of the screens in Los Angeles~www. readwn.com~ And dozens of independent theaters account for the remaining half, and the two are equally large in size, so no one will ignore the decision of the other side.

"The next thing, you and David, I have to be busy doing other things." Daniel said when he said goodbye to Rita. Rita knew he would lead the promotion of the film - a way of advertising based on the Internet, new social media and web advertising,

After sending Rita into the car, Daniel and Melissa got into their car together, and David went back to the company, different ways.

"Call Exxon, he's doing well, I'll keep my promise and reassure him."

Melissa nodded unsurprisingly, and found Exxon's phone number on her mobile phone. After getting through, the two had a brief chat and settled on the schedule for Daniel to hold a post-screening meeting at the Oriental Cinema—this is generally the case. It is the treatment of large theater lines and independent theaters with a large scale.

"Exxon sold his grandfather's reputation for a good price." Melissa put down her phone, "is a smart person" (to be continued)
