N-A-A Chapter 348
Chapter 348
The technology in this world is very advanced. Many big-budget special effects can be produced very quickly, which has also shortened the production cycle of many big-budget movies.
Therefore, many big-budget movies can be shot in just two or three months.
Even if they start shooting now, it is still in time for the release in July.
A three-no movie like "Crazy Stone": no famous director (screenwriter), no stars, no big production, it is simply a pipe dream to want to compete with those big-budget movies.
The popularity alone can attract a large number of audiences to pay.
And even if it is released in theaters in July, it will not get many screenings.
For those movies with a large audience, the theaters will naturally want to play them 24 hours a day, and for movies with a small audience, the number of times they are played will naturally be reduced.
This is called serving dishes according to the dish.
There is no way, the market is like this, even if your movie is a destiny production and can't make money, the theaters will not lose money to help you.
It is not to say that there are no successful cases of "three-no movies", but such examples are indeed too few, and the theaters are not gamblers, so they will not give too much trust.
Even if it is released in July, it will only be arranged in some garbage time slots during the depression period, such as midnight, 8 am, 11 pm... There are almost no people watching these time slots, and the ticket price is relatively cheap.
Bai Qianqu pondered.
Since the theaters can't get a good schedule, it's better not to go to the theaters.
After all, the theaters will take a commission for playing in the cinema, and the commission rate may even be as high as 50%.
Originally, low-cost movies may not make much box office, and it was taken away by half at once, even Bai Qianqu was not happy.
Moreover, if the scheduling time is not good, there is a high probability that the movie will die.
Seeing that Bai Qianqu didn't speak for a long time, Cao Dawei thought he was angry, so he said cautiously: "This movie has been filmed anyway, and it won't work if it's not released. Now we can only try it. What if the movie's reputation explodes?"
Bai Qianqu didn't say anything after hearing this.
There are many movies that want to counterattack and win big with a small investment, but most of them died on the road, and only a few of them succeeded.
Although Bai Qianqu is very confident in the quality of "Crazy Stone", it is still too illusory to leave everything to luck.
In the original world, "Crazy Stone" is indeed a model of counterattack, but after all, it has changed the place now.
At the same time, all of them are big movies with hundreds of millions of investments and luxurious lineups of star actors!
The most important thing is-their movies are not bad!
Don't forget that the status of screenwriters in this world is very high, and there is no "star-centered system"!
In other words, they are all powerful!
Powerful! Rich!
The reason why "Crazy Stone" was able to make a comeback was mainly because there were basically no big movies released at the same time. There was no movie that could compete in the same time period!
That's why it can stand out!
If you have 50 yuan in your hand, do you plan to watch a luxury movie with all stars, or a grassroots low-cost movie?
I believe that most people's choice is luxury movies.
Therefore, Bai Qianqu didn't dare to gamble that there would be no big movies released in July.
What's more, Cao Dawei just said that July is the summer vacation period, how could there be no big movies?
Going directly to the theater is too risky.
Bai Qianqu frowned with some regret.
He had never really thought about the release channel before. When he was filming the movie, he was focused on learning knowledge and training actors, and didn't fully think about what would happen next.
But fortunately, Cao Dawei brought it up now, and there is still a chance to remedy it.
He immediately made several conclusions in his mind:
First of all, you must not go to the theater in July! It is too irrational to compete with those luxury movies.
Secondly, the movie must be released as soon as possible, and a more suitable substitute method must be found.
Bai Qianqu frowned and looked at Cao Dawei and asked: "Apart from the theater, are there other ways to release movies?"
Cao Dawei blurted out: "Of course, in addition to being released in theaters, it can also be released through online platforms, that is, online movies."
Bai Qianqu's eyes suddenly lit up!
Yes, why didn't he think of this.
There are so many online video platforms now, and movies can be released on these platforms!
Not only are the review standards low, convenient and fast, but the fees charged by these platforms are also much less!
The most important thing is that those big movies must be released in theaters for a period of time before they are put on the online platform.
This timeThis is exactly what Bai Qianqu wanted!
Bai Qianqu immediately decided: "We won't go to the cinema! We'll go to the online movie!"
Cao Dawei was very surprised: "Online movie?!"
He naturally knew that many low-cost movies were released through online movies, and they could indeed make some money.
But compared to the cinema, online movies make very little money.
After all, the ticket to a cinema starts at 50 yuan, while the online movie only costs 5 yuan to watch once, and members can even watch it for free.
At least ten people have to watch your online movie to make it the same as the cinema.
How much money can you make just like this?
At most, it's only tens of millions.
You know, in the cinema, if the box office is good, a few hundred million is nothing.
However, Cao Dawei did not have much resistance to Bai Qianqu's decision.
He knows the current situation of their movie best.
Going to the cinema is really a life-or-death struggle, so it's better to try your luck on the online film and television platform.
He even thought that Bai Qianqu's decision was quite wise, as he did not blindly insist on going to the cinema.
Many newcomers who make movies think that their movies are the best in the world and must go to the cinema to show their skills, but 99% of them will be disappointed.
In this comparison, Bai Qianqu's choice is still better!
Moreover, the movie has now been bought out by Bai Qianqu, which means that Bai Qianqu has the final say on the movie and is responsible for whether it makes a profit or a loss.
Cao Dawei naturally did not have much psychological burden.
He nodded and said, "Indeed, the threshold for online movies is relatively low. If we apply now, I will use the relationship of destiny and it will be approved and released next month!"
In fact, even if Cao Dawei did not use his relationship, "Crazy Stone" could be released next month, which is just a difference of more than ten days.
After all, "Crazy Stone" is nothing in the eyes of the theater, but it is still considered a medium-level online movie, after all, it is an investment of more than 3 million.
