Director’s Legend

() After eating dinner, paying wages, returning the equipment, and seeing off the crew members, Shao Shuaijun returned home alone with a bunch of copies. These copies are still rough, requiring editing, dubbing scores, and subtitles. In Hengdian, there is a special post-production company to do these finishing work.

"Buried Alive" is not a blockbuster movie, not a horror movie or a sci-fi movie, and it doesn't need too delicate vocal effects. It only took two days of hard work, and more than 5,000 yuan went down the ocean, and a finished film was born. With this movie in hand, Shao Shuaijun began to look for buyers.

In my memory, there are not many film distribution companies in the mainland. The big ones like China Film, Shanghai Film Oriental, Huaxia, Bona, and Huayi Brothers all have strong public relations methods, but relatively, there are too many du li movies Queuing up to come to the door, these distribution companies will also have stricter requirements for films.

The smaller distribution companies include Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou's new pictures, FJ Hengye, B City Xingmei, Forbidden City Sanlian, Enlight Pictures, Pony Galloping, and Dadi Communication. However, some of the big companies have not even started to get involved in distribution.

The few movies that Shao Shuaijun played with in his previous life were basically invested and released by Dengtian Entertainment. Although in the end, Dengtian Entertainment snatched his director qualifications, but this is the entertainment industry, where the weak prey on the strong, so there is nothing to complain about. Dengtian Entertainment is still the best choice, which can maximize the benefits of "Buried Alive".

It's a pity that Dengtian Entertainment will not be established until next year.

China Film and Shanghai Film Oriental, the two giant state-owned film distribution companies, sound daunting. Huaxia is even more amazing. Nineteen domestic state-owned film units jointly participate in the shares, and the qualifications should not be too good. New Screen is only responsible for Zhang Yimou's films, Xingmei focuses on theaters, and Sanlian Film and Television focuses on the distribution of TV dramas. Enlight Pictures, Galloping Horse and Dadi Communication have not yet entered the door.

The best choices are Bona and Huayi. However, Shao Shuaijun vaguely remembered that Huayi only started to get involved in film distribution in the second half of this year. Bona is a good place to go. Shao Shuaijun believes that the quality of "Buried Alive" can impress the publisher, but it is difficult to win too many discounts on the price.

In addition to Bona, fj Hengye is also Shao Shuaijun's ideal choice. The current Hengye has not yet been established. It simply buys films for distribution in second- and third-tier theaters, but its founder, Chen Hui, is a courageous filmmaker. . Because Hengye has a famous nickname in later generations, it is called China's Lionsgate Films. It made a fortune with low-cost horror films, focused on genre films, and was quite successful.

Bona and Huayi were in city b, and Shao Shuaijun's first stop was going north. As a filmmaker in his previous life, he was naturally familiar with the addresses of the two companies. However, City B ten years ago and City B ten years later have changed a lot. After many twists and turns, I came to Bona Pictures.

The correct name of Bona at this time should be Poly Bona. In 2003, Poly Group acquired Bona Culture and established Poly Bona Film Distribution Company to set foot in the field of film distribution.

With puzzled eyes, the receptionist of the company called the distribution department.

"Hello, is this Mr. Yu... That's how it is. There is a Mr. Shao here who has brought a movie and is looking for distribution...Okay, I'll invite him in."

After hanging up the phone, the lady at the front desk took a deep look at Shao Shuaijun: "You really made a movie? You're too young, don't let me be scolded by the boss?"

"Hehe, don't worry."

Shao Shuaijun gave a dry laugh. He just turned eighteen this year, so he is indeed too young. In the film industry, a thirty-year-old director can be amazing.

The office address of Poly Bona Company is on a separate floor. The decoration is very exquisite and elegant, with the style of a large company. It is worthy of being one of the giants in the future. In the general manager's office, Shao Shuaijun met Yu Dong, the president of Poly Bona, who was in his 20s and 80s, slightly fat, and looked harmless to humans and animals.

"Mr. Yu, this is Mr. Shao Shuaijun."

Yu Dong frowned subconsciously, and glanced at the front desk: "You go down first." Then he turned to Shao Shuaijun and said, "Please sit down, Shao Shuaijun is, you are very young. Why do you have the idea to make a movie? What movie?"

Knowing that his age is hard to be trusted, Shao Shuaijun didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the copy of the movie from his bag: "Mr. Yu, can I play the movie first?"

There is a movie projector in the office, and Yu Dong nodded uncompromisingly. Although Bona is escorted by a central enterprise giant like Poly Group, and has expanded in the film field in a short period of time, compared with established film companies such as China Film and Shanghai Film, it is still far behind and cannot get too many films. distribution rights.

Since someone came to the door, whether good or bad, true or false, an hour or two could still be wasted.

"Make a movie? Young people are so ambitious, they don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and they will be severely criticized later." Yu Dong thought to himself.

The movie started soon, with a large black screen at first, only the sound of heavy panting and friction, indicating that the movie was being shown.

"What's going on, where's the picture?" Yu Dong's face darkened.

Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "Mr. Yu, please read slowly."

Soon, the sound of a lighter came, and a picture flashed past, revealing a human face, and then it went dark again, back and forth several times, and finally a complete picture appeared. A person was lying in a coffin, looking for a way out with a lighter. Yu Dong's dissatisfied face gradually recovered, and he began to focus on watching movies.

Ninety minutes later, the movie ends.

Shao Shuaijun looked at Yu Dong, feeling a little nervous.

"It's interesting. It's a one-man show, and the shooting angle is very novel." Yu Dong touched his chin, "You really made it?"

"Yes, I am the screenwriter, director, starring role, and producer. What do you think of this "Buried Alive"? Can it catch your eyes?"

After pondering for a while, Yu Dong said: "This movie is very creative, with unique shooting techniques, challenging the limits of claustrophobic movies, and it is very ironic. It is a good movie. However, the too single movie scene makes the whole plot seem It's very boring, it's hard for a movie like this to get a good box office."

"I think it is still very commercially valuable. A single character and a single scene have a lot of gimmicks in themselves. The plot is dull but not mediocre, and the connotation is very profound. Although it does not meet the taste of the public, it is very attractive to audiences who like this type. I'm tired of watching blockbuster movies, and it's also a good choice for a change of taste once in a while. What do you think?"

"It makes sense, but the domestic film market is still in its infancy, and its capacity is not large. Coupled with niche tastes, it is still difficult to break through and get a good box office."

"A high box office is impossible, five million or so shouldn't be a problem? Apart from the box office, the release of DVDs is the most important thing for this kind of film, isn't it?"

"Domestic piracy is rampant, and DVDs are not a big deal."

"It doesn't work at home, but what about abroad? If Pauli Bona wants to be big, he can't just focus on blockbusters and literary films, he must try all kinds of movies, right? "Buried Alive" may not be a big hit in China, but it will go abroad, Shengdan At the Sri Lanka Film Festival, this kind of film is the most popular, and once it wins a good reputation, it will bring more benefits than just a little reputation."

"It's a failure. You can't get a good reputation. Foreign countries are not domestic. Why should foreigners buy it?"

"Hehe, there are risks in everything. If you only make money but don't lose money, it's not me who came to look for Yu Zong, but Yu Zong should look for me."

Yu Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked softly, "How much do you want, share or buyout?"
