Best Actor

    Sean finally left Weinstein's room satisfied, with 40% on the book but actually 20% of the distribution commission, 10 million on the book but 2.5 million in publicity expenses, and the production side At least 1.5 million is shared, and the publisher promises to contact at least 600 theaters by the end of April, which is generally quite good.

    Generally speaking, the publicity fee is shared by the producer and the publisher, and at most will not exceed half of the production cost, and the cost of "My Grand Greek Wedding" is more than 5 million. It is also reasonable to take 2.5 million for publicity. In the eyes of big productions, the promotion fee of 2.5 million may seem like nothing, but it is already too much for an independent film.

    Weinstein did not insist that the producer bear all the promotional expenses, mainly because Sean's words gave him a lot of inspiration.

    "In just over two years, you've been promoted to producer and investor. Your development is amazing, Sean." Weinstein heard about Google Curious and half-joking, but his focus was more on what Sean said about viral marketing.

    In fact, Sean doesn't know the concept of viral marketing, he just vaguely remembers such a name, and deduces a little way of spreading from it. It's easy, as long as you have some understanding of the network, it's easy to connect literally, but it's not enough to elaborate.

    But Weinstein is different. After all, he has been doing film distribution for decades, and he has a natural sense of smell in publicity, and such a communication mode like viral marketing was not before the Internet age. No. To put it bluntly, the so-called viral marketing is to put those hot or interesting news and news into the crowd, using people's natural gossip psychology to let them take the initiative to spread the news, thereby causing curiosity about the product, and full of anticipation.

      Confinement, it takes a lot of time and money to make a big splash. When it comes to network time, it is different. When a message is published on the network, as long as it works properly, it can spread to the world with a small amount of time and money, just like a virus.

    With the development of the Internet, various film companies have begun to be involved in this aspect. For example, the success of "Blair Witch" is a typical viral marketing, and the distribution company spared no effort to make it a real A lot of fake news was published on the Internet, and a special tracing website was set up, etc., which eventually made this college student's experimental work sell hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.

    So, Weinstein's concept of viral marketing is actually more clear than Sean. He just didn't think so deeply. Now that he was mentioned like this, he immediately realized the connection. Well, he has a relationship with Google again, so he made a small concession, ready to try this new way of publicity.

    "There are still many things to watch, such as Sean Tang's first work as a producer, or Nia Vardals' semi-autobiographical film, although she is not well-known, but she cooperates with The running and perseverance of this script, as well as your discerning eyes, as well as the best-reviewed film at the Sundance Film Festival, a romantic comedy that is completely different from the past, etc... I now think we can do our own promotion. ." Vladimir said to Sean after returning to the crew's station.

    As a publisher, Vladimir also realized for the first time the power of viral marketing after systematic research and operation, 2.5 million was spent on print ads and TV ads. There are not many waves, and even TV advertisements can only be placed in non-golden schedules, but they can do a lot of things on the Internet.

    Generally speaking, he is quite satisfied with the result that has been negotiated so far. Although he will have to negotiate in detail one by one, he is considered to have taken the shuttle bus of Miramax and got the a certain commitment. The reason why he mentioned that before, making a book of 40% of the issuance commission, in addition to fighting for certain benefits for Sean and himself - the company's income may not be high, but at least Sean and his income can be guaranteed.

      Lamax, show some strength to get 40% commission.

    If at first he just saw that Sean is the boss, and cooperated to win the script and act as a producer, but after the film participated in the Sundance Film Festival, he almost got the same good Word of mouth, got him started. So even though he didn't really believe what Sean said in his heart, the 200 million box office in North America and overseas, but for a moment, he wanted to go crazy with him.

    In Vladimir's view, Sean is a very interesting guy, a lot of times, but also has a charm that one has to believe.

    So he also gave it a try, telling Weinstein that it’s okay for you to take so many commissions, and let’s make the book higher. Let’s take a look at Miramax’s strength. As for the other party's cheating, they really charge 40% of the commission. Don't worry, Vladimir is very clear about the tricks in the distribution, and doing so will only damage his own brand. Sometimes, unspoken rules are more intolerant than explicit rules. destroyed.

    Since the issue of distribution has been resolved, Sean has no intention of staying any longer. He will return to Los Angeles with his best friends before the Sundance Film Festival is over. Of course, Neil had Back to Boston.

    In fact, he should wait, because at this Sundance Film Festival, a film called "Memento" won the Best Screenplay Award. However, if you miss it, you will miss it. If you miss it now, it doesn't mean you will miss it in the future.

    …

    Boom boom boom, as the car completed the fifth lap on the track, it finally reduced the speed and finally stopped at the designated position.

    "How do you feel?" The driver just got off, and the bald head leaning on another car not far away asked loudly.

    "Awesome, very good start and very smooth, I like it." Sean said with a smile.

    "Then do you want to compare with me now?" The bald head asked eagerly.

    "Well...let it go, Fan, you know, although I like cars, it's still not enough compared to you." Sean hesitated, but raised the white flag. , "Besides, I already lost to you last time, didn't I?"

    "Hey, don't be a bitch," said Vin Diesel rather dissatisfied, "It's just two laps, you don't even have the courage?"

    This guy... Sean couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, but he still admired Diesel's straightforwardness, so he shrugged: "Okay, okay, if Rob thinks today The training can be done, let’s have a game.”

    He pointed to the other side, a middle-aged man in his fifties who was also bareheaded, talking with the racing coach.

    "No problem, you all did well today." The latter turned his head and said something.

     Diesel laughed, Sean raised his hands helplessly, then opened his car door and made a gesture of invitation.

    Practicing racing for the Fast and the Furious, that's one of the main reasons Sean rushes back to Los Angeles, it's a story about underground racing, and if the main characters don't know how to drive Or if you don't understand the rules of underground racing, the movie you make will be ridiculous.

    No accident, although Diesel did not embarrass Sean, he only ran five laps, but Sean could bite very tightly in the first three laps, but on the fourth lap, he was directly Throw away.

    "I won again, Sean." Diesel said triumphantly after getting out of the car.

    "I suddenly felt..." Sean looked at him with some amusing, "You did it on purpose, Fan, deliberately seek self-confidence from me like this."

    Before Diesel spoke, a female voice came over: "Do you think that everyone is like you, who likes to speculate maliciously about others?"

    "I'm just telling the truth," the young girl with wheat-colored skin came to Diesel with a smile, then winked at him, "Is that right?"

    "Of course, Mia never lies." Diesel followed suit, "Dear sister, if this kid dares to bully you, then tell me, and I will treat him well."

    He patted his fist as if in a demonstration, and then a somewhat immature voice sounded: "Ha, Sean is going to be unlucky."

    The schadenfreude in his tone couldn't be more obvious, Sean knew who it was as soon as he heard it: "Why, do you like watching me unlucky, Millie?"

    The girl, who was more and more beautiful, jumped to Jordana's side and made a face at him: "Of course!"

    "Okay okay..." Sean could only continue to raise his hands in surrender.

    "I'm on your side, Sean," another female voice came over, her voice a little rough, but with a **** magnetism, "You are a good person, you shouldn't be treated like this ."

    This is... a good person card? Sean came up with such an idea for no reason, but on the surface he still smiled and turned around and gave each other a high-five: "It really touched me, at least I still like it."

    "Hey, Michelle, how could you be on his side!" Jordana immediately jumped over, grabbed her arm, and shouted.

    "I'm just telling the truth," the other party clapped his hands, then spread it out, "Someone has to tell the truth, doesn't it?"

    She looks very ordinary, but she is not ugly after dressing up. Like Xiao Qiao, she has black hair and wheat-colored skin. There is no doubt that she is also a girl of Latin descent. And relatively, the figure is better, the slightly thicker lips are also more sexy, and the wild appearance can give people the desire to conquer.

    That's right, she's another Fast and Furious supporting actress, Michelle Rodriguez, who plays Dominic's girlfriend Letty in the story, and...well... Jordana As I said before, the person you want to hook up with.
