"What do you think of this movie?"

"It's OK, at least it can be included in the ranks of view."

After the film screening, Grey Enrique walked among the film company people. As soon as he got down to the vestibule, he heard several viewers walking past in front of him discussing the film.

"I think it's average, not scary."

"A bad movie!"

"You don't understand, you will know when you enter society. This movie is creepy. I will recommend this movie at the Mill Fan Club next week..."

"Well, I can recommend it to guys, I just don't know when the film will be officially released."

The few people kept walking out of the theater while discussing.

Movie fans came out one after another, and the voices of discussing "The Purge of Humanity" could be heard everywhere, which were both praise and criticism of this film.

Gray Enrique walked out in the crowd and nodded secretly. A movie that can make movie fans discuss is the movie that can arouse people's interest.

Some people think it’s good, some people think it’s bad, which is normal.

When they arrived at the entrance of the theater, Ronan Anderson and the middle-aged man named Robert were waiting here. Gray Enrique greeted them, declined the other party's banquet, and left the theater.

The people who watched the film at the same time were like him and soon said goodbye and left.

Luo Nan gave these people a little relieved.

When Robert saw that there was no one around, he whispered: "Will some voices of cursing movies have the opposite effect?"

"How can a movie be liked by everyone?" Ronan felt that those people did well and deserved the salary they paid: "It is normal to have praise and scold."

"I just don't know how much it can do." Robert looked into the distance.

Ronan smiled: "As long as it can slightly affect their choice, we will make a profit."

Robert sincerely admired: "You're more than a solution."

Ronan said slowly: "The movie itself is the foundation, but outside of the movie, you can think of more ways to do it. Operation will become more and more important for a movie."

Robert nodded slightly and suddenly realized that except for his experience, he seemed to be surpassed in all aspects.

However, following such a boss can be passionate and motivated, and can also gain insight.

Ronan changed the topic and asked, "Can the copy arrive tonight?"

"Twenty copies of the movie." Robert promised: "It will be delivered on time at 8 o'clock tonight."

Ronan said again: "I'll have a delivery to my door tomorrow."

Watching the movie is just the beginning, and a copy of the Human Purge Program must be delivered to every distribution company that has come here today.

Distribution companies often conduct multiple rounds of comprehensive assessments for films that are intended to be released.

The next day, Ronan asked someone to send the copy next to each other, and specifically asked the company's newly hired telephone operator to call the corresponding personnel of each issuing company every two days.

"Sir, our "Human Purge Plan" is really worth a market value. Have you made a decision? It hasn't been submitted to your boss yet? You can invite your boss to watch the movie..."

In the same week, Ronan also made several calls himself, and he received basically bad news.

Warner Bros. Bran Milner first declined the film, and then the Hollywood Pictures said that the film did not match the overall style of Disney's live-action movies. Dimen Pictures said that the release was fine but had to buy out the copyright at one time. Lionsgate Pictures' Gray said that the boss had not read the copy yet...

"Sorry, Ronan."

In the office, Deron held the phone in one hand and his ears in the other: "Xinxin is not interested in your new film, so we will work together if we have the chance."

Hearing a response from the phone, he hung up the phone, carried the copy of "Human Cleanup Plan", opened a large cabinet, and piled up many dusty copies.

He can't even pass this level in this movie, so why bother your boss?

On the fifth day after the movie watching meeting, Ronan finally got good news that the distribution company under Sony Entertainment was willing to conduct preliminary negotiations with Shahai Entertainment on the "Human Purge Plan".

"Your film has flaws and features."

In the reception room issued by Sony, Chris looked at Ronan and said, "Sony Entertainment has the intention to cooperate with your company."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I hope to cooperate with your company, too."

Chris is not too long-winded. Sony Entertainment is a holding company of Columbia Pictures, so there is no need to waste time on such small productions. "Let's talk about issuance commissions first."

This is the core issue, and there is no need to talk about it again. He said directly: "Sony Entertainment bought out the global issuance rights of the Human Clearance Plan. In terms of issuance commission, North America's box office revenue was 30%, overseas box office revenue was 40%, video tapes, DVDs, all TV copyrights and new media copyrights total revenue was 40%, and the general level in the derivatives industry was 50%.

Luo Nan frowned slightly. This is not the highest distribution commission ratio in the circle, but it is also very harsh.

He saw several cases some time ago, which were also a cooperation between a small production company and a large distribution company. The box office distribution commission was as high as 40%, and all peripheral revenues were earned 50%!

Chris's words are not finished yet: "In addition, Sony Entertainment has the copyright to produce the sequel to the film."

Business negotiations are of course about getting the best interests for one's own side as much as possible.

"The commission ratio is too high." Ronan said slowly: "Unless this film has a big box office hit, Shahai Entertainment will inevitably suffer losses."

He tried to bargain: "The overseas distribution copyright will be discussed after it is released in North America. The peripheral copyright commission will be reduced to 20%. Shahai Entertainment retains the sequel copyright..."

Chris raised his hand to stop Ronan and continued: "Mr. Anderson, this is a prerequisite for Sony Entertainment's release." He smiled: "Improve it, so far, no company has expressed its intention to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment."

Ronan was not angry, his face calmed down and said, "This is the case for the time being."

This is simply not something that anyone with a lot of heart. Chris is undoubtedly an old fox, so he obviously took this opportunity to reduce the price.

The negotiations were so passive, completely under Ronan's expectations. Shahai Entertainment lacked the capital to bargain with the other party. After all, Sony Entertainment did not even have a competitor.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shahai Entertainment now needs Sony Entertainment, and it doesn’t matter whether Sony Entertainment has a “Human Purge Plan” or not.

Even Columbia Pictures, which is controlled by Sony Entertainment, is the worst among Hollywood's six majors.

Ronan thought for a little while, thinking that Grey of Lionsgate Films said that his boss had not read the copy yet, so he decided to delay for the time being: "Can I allow me to think about it for a few days? I will also have a meeting to discuss it."

Chris still has this patience and said casually: "The opportunity is rare, don't let us wait too long. We are very full this year and next year's schedule."

Ronan smiled: "A maximum of one week."

In fact, it takes less than a week to know the true attitude of Lionsgate Pictures. After all, Lionsgate Pictures has not been established for a long time and does not have much distribution business.

…………

In the Lionsgate Film Studio's film room, staff are putting the removed copy into the box.

Navas, the director of the distribution department, was the first to walk out of the studio. Gray quickly took back the questionnaire in everyone's hands, read it roughly, and left the studio and came to his boss's office.

"This movie is better than I expected." Navas was wiping his uncomfortable eyes with a tissue: "The advantages are as prominent as the disadvantages."

As a recommender, Gray has to say good things: "We have been focusing on horror movies in recent years. Can we include this as a release candidate this year?"

Navas did not answer, but instead asked: "What about other people's opinions?"

Gray placed the stack of questionnaires on his desk and said, "Two Bs, three B-, and two Cs."

Although there was no A, Navas nodded: "It's OK."

Even within professional companies, horror movies are generally low in reviews.

"There is another situation." Gray tried to say simply: "When watching the movie, although many people said that the movie was not good, a considerable number of fans said that the movie was good. Oh, by the way..."

He recalled and said, "Some movie fans even walked backwards when going to the bathroom to look at it a few more times."

Navas pinched his chin: "That is to say, this movie is very attractive to some people."

Gray nodded: "It's totally possible to think so."

Can movie fans urinate and go to the bathroom backwards? This movie is so charming? Navas frowned and thought. If Gray reads correctly, "Human Clearance Plan" should have an audience.

Besides, I just tried it inside the company, and the overall review is also good.
Chapter completed!
