Jinghua, xiayue studio.
In addition to Lang Wenxing, Sunuo and Tang Yifan are all in Liu Zixia's office.
Several people are still the same, while sitting on the sofa tasting tea, while chatting.
"Zixia, now Wang Wenbin is in a panic."
Lang Wenxing, with a smile on his face, said: "this guy, I never thought that your resistance would be so strong. He directly sued them in court. Defamation and infringement of reputation are still double charges."
"Isn't that true?"
Suno said angrily, "if it's me, I'll sue him again after two days' lawsuit is over. I'll hide the contract and cheat Xia Yue's studio property. Good enough for him to be in prison for several years?"
"Not for a few years, but you'll definitely have to be fined. Maybe you'll have to close it for a few days."
Liu Zixia said with a smile: "in fact, I wanted to let Wang Wenbin go, but now it seems that..."
Speaking of this, Liu Zixia shook his head, some things, not how you want to do can do.
Just like today's incident, Wang Wenbin did it in a very bad way. He even said that it was the practice of killing all.
If Liu Zixia doesn't fight back, he will either wait for the lawsuit to win, or he will be scolded and blackmailed all the time!
With Liu Zixia's character, he will never bear to revenge overnight!
"Let him go of what?"
Suno put down his teacup and said, "it's not suitable for Wang Wenbin to use virtue for revenge. How few immoral things has this guy done? Give him a lesson this time, let him have a long memory! "
"Well, let's not mention it. The court is going to hold soon. Just hit him in the face."
Lang Wenxing interrupted them and said, "talk about the movie! Today, it's April 21. It's been publicizing for such a long time, and it hasn't signed a contract with those cinemas. When are you going to show it? "
The movie "Crazy Stone" is scheduled to be released on May 1. It has been publicized and the whole country knows about it. If it fails to be released at that time, it will be another trouble!
"This..."
Liu Zixia was silent for a while and said: "I originally had two plans. One is to find a video website and put the movie directly in the form of payment, so that netizens can pay for the movie."
After years of development, the domestic mainstream online video platform has been adjusted from the original free viewing to some free, and some popular film and television works need to be paid for.
This is also required by the film copyright owners, and the price of paid purchase is not too high. Generally, the price is between 12 and 20 yuan. If you are a VIP member of the video platform, the price can be halved, which can be regarded as the welfare of the video website for VIP members.
When the movie goes online, fans have no time to go to the cinema to watch it. When the movie is removed from the cinema, they usually choose to watch it on the video playing platform with exclusive rights.
Anyway, it costs much less than going to the cinema, and you can watch movies again and again within 48 hours. Actually, it's quite cost-effective!
"Pay to watch movies online?"
Tang Yifan was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. Liu, if you pay to watch the movie on the video website, can you still recover the cost of the movie? Is the profit too low? "
Generally speaking, movies played on video websites are all taken off the shelves from the cinema.
It's the first time for Liu Zixia to go directly to a video website.
In this way, there should be a lot less income.
After all, the box office of the cinema is very objective, and once it is shown on the video website, it means that it has no chance with CSM's box office list.
Maybe, I'll miss a lot of movie awards!
"It doesn't matter. As long as we can let netizens know Huang Bo and Wang Xun, the mission of this film will be completed."
Liu Zixia was silent for a while, and said: "moreover, I don't think that if we play it on the video website, the profit will be very low. Maybe we can make more money!"
"Zixia, are you kidding?"
Lang Wenxing has been in the entertainment industry for such a long time. Hearing this, he said directly: "even if the final profit is distributed by the cinema and relevant departments, there is still a lot of money in the hands of the film distributor."
"That's it
Suno nodded and said: "take our" havoc in heaven "for example! The initial ticket price is 46 yuan. After deducting all the expenses and share, we can still get 18 yuan. If you put the movie directly on the video website, how much can it exceed that? "
"We can't, but we can make more profits."
Liu Zixia knocked on the table and said:
"In the past, when we cooperated with panda video, we divided it into four or six parts. We accounted for six parts and panda video accounted for four parts. But now it's different. After all, crazy stone goes directly to the video website across the cinema line. Even if we want to get 20% or 80%, panda videos are all blood earning! "
"Mr. Liu, it's not as exaggerated as you said?"
Tang Yifan frowned and said: "although the current publicity effect of crazy stone is very good, it should not reach the popularity of" havoc in heaven ". If it can not reach the expected effect, I'm afraid Lin will not dare to start it easily."
"Not necessarily!"
Liu Zixia laughed and said, "after all, this is the first time that we premiere a film in this form. What kind of impact will it have? That's not sure."
By doing so, Liu Zixia created history.
After all, since the beginning of the film industry in China, no one has ever done this!
It's really hard to say what kind of results we will get!
If it wasn't for Liu Zixia's confidence in crazy stone, I'm afraid he didn't dare to say that.
"I'm not sure... That means there may be very few people."
Tang Yifan said stubbornly: "I still don't think it's safe. Moreover, if it's me, the proportion of 28% is too large for me. I'm not sure that I can recover the cost."
"Cost recovery is actually quite simple."
Lang Wenxing interjected at this time: "you can add ads in the movie title or the middle department. Anyway, this is the consistent practice of video websites. Especially in those excellent movies, the front ads may even be pressed for one or two minutes, even VIP members can't go."
This is the smart part of the video website. These ads are embedded. Even VIP members can't cancel them. They must honestly watch these ads before they can continue to watch the movie.
At the beginning of this situation, some VIP members expressed strong opposition, but the website side directly threw out a sentence, "the requirements of the film copyright side," and left the pot to the film producer, and then it was over.
With these words, Lang Wenxing suddenly changed the subject and said, "but I have the same opinion as general manager Tang. It's impossible that you want to divide the two into eight. That Lizi Lin Yue is not a fool. She can do something she's not sure about?"
"Then make a bet!"
Liu Zixia shrugged his shoulders and said, "if you expect to pay more than 20 times for VOD, you'll get 20% of it. If you don't, you'll get 40% of it. Anyway, I'm confident that I can win 20% of it!"
