I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 166 Give Zuoshandiao a little shock!
"Why isn't he afraid of the Third Master?"

Li 喪 looked at Chen Jin who was standing in front of Han Sanpin, and couldn't understand what was going on.

Even her big boss was humble when facing Han Sanpin, but Chen Jin just didn't have that feeling, and Han Sanpin seemed... not to treat him like other actors.

He always seemed very friendly.

If it were her, she wouldn't even dare to approach and talk, let alone take the initiative to approach.

Of course Chen Jin didn't know that some of his behaviors were very eccentric in the eyes of many people, but he was looking for Han Sanpin because he really had something important to tell him!

Make money!

Don’t tell me some bullshit love story. Chen Jin just wants to make money now.

"Have one?"

Han Sanpin was smoking a cigarette and wearing a Zhongshan suit and cloth shoes, making himself look like an old farmer.

Chen Jin quickly waved his hands: "Thank you, Third Master, I don't smoke!"

"Haha, good, I finally see that you look a little bit different!"

Han Sanpin was quite happy as he seemed to see that there were some differences between Chen Jin and the male lead.

"Then I... smoke one?"

It's true that Chen Jin has never smoked, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to smoke. That guy is an old smoker.

The photographer Zhao Xiaoshi next to him hurriedly gave Chen Jin a cigarette. After thanking him, Chen Jin held it in his mouth. His fingers seemed to have muscle memory. He looked at Zhao Xiaoshi and Han Sanping in a daze.

This smoking look is more like it!

"No, didn't you just say you don't smoke?"

Han Sanpin looked at Chen Jin's smoking posture, which was very similar to someone else's. Chen Jin had already coughed a little: "Master San, I really can't, but I have seen the video materials, so I have imitated calligraphy, smoking, and even wearing clothes!"

Chen Jin took another puff and felt better.

He actually smoked before. He smoked a few times with his classmates in junior high school and also in high school, but he never got used to it.

"You're so good!"

“It doesn’t look like acting!”

Han Sanpin was a little amused.

Zhao Xiaoshi next to him raised his thumb and imitated the actor while holding a cigarette in his mouth, but he did not have the same charm as the actor at all.

"Old Zhao, stop imitating me. This is what Xiao Chen does for a living!"

"Why, do you need me for something?"

Han Sanpin saw what Chen Jin was here for, and Chen Jin nodded quickly: "Yes, I just wanted to ask how the movie went for you, Master San?"

"That's what I was going to tell you!"

"Who is this director? Why haven't I heard of him?"

Except for the lack of a release license, the names of the director and leading actors are all on the master film.

"He's a student from the Management Department of Beijing Film Academy!"

"student?"

Han Sanpin smoked the cigarette as soon as it was put into his mouth, and he put it down directly, looking a little surprised and said: “You said that this movie was made by students from Beijing Film Academy?”

"Yes, a graduate student from the Department of Management!"

“But I bought the script!”

"Yes, it's a good shot..."

Yes, it is really possible.

If a well-known director had filmed it like this, Han Sanpin would obviously not have any interest, but if a student could film it like this, it would be a great achievement in the future.

What the directing department lacks is not people, but people who can become directors, especially well-known directors.

The younger they are and the better they take photos, the more potential it shows.

Han Sanping is also a director himself, so he certainly knows the difference.

"Get in the car first, and then we'll have a good chat after dinner!"

"I just need to tell you something!"

Han Sanpin put out the cigarette, brushed off the ashes on his body, blew a few puffs, then patted Chen Jin on the shoulder and got into the crew's car.

The dining place was near the hotel. There weren't many people in the crew, but the noise lasted until after 11 o'clock. Han Sanpin drank a lot, but he still looked sober.

Of course Chen Jin also drank it, the main point was to eat according to the dishes.

But Chen Jin was young and strong. After going to the bathroom and cleaning his throat twice, he felt very clear-headed, but his stomach was a little upset.

"Let's go to my room!"

Han Sanpin said something to Chen Jin, and the two of them walked into the suite one after the other.

Chen Jin poured a cup of tea for Han Sanping. Han Sanping said nothing and took a sip.

"When are you going to start the movie?"

Han Sanpin pointed to the seat next to him.

After Chen Jin sat down, he became less reserved: "Double Eleven!"

"Double Eleven?"

This date is not popular yet, so after Chen Jin mentioned it, Han Sanpin still had to think about it before he understood: "The 11th of next month?"

"Yes!"

"It's only a few days away, is it too late?"

"Has the final trial been held?"

Han Sanpin has already started looking at the calendar on the table.

"The final review should be in the next few days. Beijing Film Academy is helping to expedite it. There must be no problem with the content. It's just a matter of going through the process!"

Han Sanpin had seen the movie and knew that this kind of romance film would be censored quickly.

“Why choose this time?”

Han Sanpin was a little puzzled.

There is actually no time and date restrictions on the domestic release schedule at the moment, but generally speaking, Thursdays and Fridays are definitely chosen; in North America, many blockbusters are released on Fridays, and then the box office for the first weekend is counted.

There is no problem with setting the release date of November 2010, 11, as it happens to be a Thursday.

Unlike next year, it’s Friday.

So according to the original timeline, Love Is Not Blind was to be released on October 33, 2011. However, the hype for Double Eleven in 10 was particularly strong. After all, it was a rare occasion with three 7s, singles plus singles, so November 11, 3, had a stronger meaning of Singles’ Day.

So on that day, the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" reached 33 million yuan in a single day.

It never reached that height again.

The box office success of this movie is due to this wave of marketing, which is a special node in a special period. Chen Jin’s marketing for this year’s Double Eleven must be much weaker, so he can only pull in Zhang Yimou and the distribution of China Film, plus Chen Jin’s current popularity as the third.

If it really doesn't work, Chen Jin also plans to let Guo Xun go to Taobao to seek cooperation.

Taobao’s Double Eleven event obviously also needs popularity at the moment.

Alibaba wants to promote this festival, so they are certainly willing to facilitate this wave of joint marketing.

The further we go in the future, the more impossible it will be, given Alibaba’s size.

Last year, Alibaba carried out the Double Eleven event for the first time, but it did not make much of a splash online, with the single-day transaction volume being just over 5000 million. However, this event allowed Alibaba to see the promotional prospects of that day.

So this year, they really want to make a big move, and next year’s three 11s will be an important node to fully promote the Double Eleven promotion festival.

"Third Master!"

Chen Jin made two 1s with his hands and then separated them: "Double 11!"

"The movie is called Lovelorn, and Double Eleven is also called Singles' Day or Breakup Day online!"

"Hahaha!"

Han Sanpin understood it immediately.

"interesting!"

“Who came up with this marketing idea?”

Han Sanpin was a little sober now.

As a distributor, film marketing and promotion are his bread and butter. He immediately identified the hot spot of this marketing.

With just this one idea, if the film is well scheduled, the minimum box office could be 5000 million!
Not bragging at all.

How many couples who have broken up will go to the cinema to watch this movie on this meaningful festival.

"you?"

Seeing that Chen Jin didn't say anything, Han Sanpin guessed it.

"Yimou said that you have a very active mind, which is absolutely true. You are worthy of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination!"

Han Sanpin smiled and said, "Are you making these dumplings just for the vinegar?"

"When you bought the script, you had it in mind for this release date, right?"

Han Sanpin looked at Chen Jin without blinking.

Chen Jin nodded and did not hide it: "Well, I had this idea when I saw this novel, but the scheduling and release date still depends on you, Third Master!"

"It's nothing, this is the day that only your movie is suitable for!"

"Who else would schedule a show at this time?"

Just as Chen Jin thought, it was like the middle of nowhere. December was the Lunar New Year period that the entire industry was fighting for, with so many blockbusters that low-budget and small-company films simply couldn't squeeze in.

In October, the National Day holiday just passed.

So November is the most embarrassing month.

There are very few movies that choose to be released during this time period, and most of them are from small companies and with low costs.

"The review must be quick. Call me immediately after it's passed and I'll arrange a date for you!"

"There are only a few days left, and we still have to prepare promotional materials and copies..."

Just for this Double Eleven idea, China Film Group will take on this film.

Maybe, I can create a special love-break file in the future.

Han Sanpin really wants to see how much box office the movie can get with this marketing.
It is actually very simple for China Film Corporation to distribute a movie. They release dozens of films a year. One more or one less won’t make much difference.

Besides, China Film Corporation is given distribution tasks every year, but it has not yet achieved its goal this year, so it can only rely on the Lunar New Year films.

If Chen Jin's movie can earn 5000 million, half of his goal will be achieved. China Film Group will definitely value it!

"It should be soon!"

"I'll tell you as soon as I can, but I have another request. I want to ask you for a favor, Master San!"

Chen Jin met Han Sanpin's gaze, and Han Sanpin narrowed his eyes: "What's the matter? About this movie?"

"Yes, I want Director Zhang to be the producer. I went to see Dean Zhang, but it seems I couldn't convince him..."

"Hahaha!"

Han Sanpin pointed at Chen Jin and laughed loudly: "You are ambitious, kid!"

He didn't think much about it, because this kind of thing seemed normal to him.

Who doesn’t want the movie they star in and invest in to perform better at the box office?
Now that China Film has distributed the film, the higher the box office, the better it is for China Film. The distribution is based on a share of the total box office.

Generally speaking, the fee charged by the issuer is 12%-20%.

A lot of the 20% includes expenses for publicity, marketing materials, etc. Since the publicity and promotion costs were too high in later generations, film and television companies began to pay for them themselves.

China Film Group will definitely give it its full share. If it were Zhang Yimou, the profit sharing would be different.

For example, for "The Hawthorn Tree", China Film only received a 12% share, but it had to make the new footage for publicity and promotion itself.

"Of course I want the movie to do better at the box office..."

Chen Jin scratched his head and pretended quite well.

"Okay, I'll talk to him and see if he's willing!"

"If he really doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do..."

Han Sanpin said, and added: "In fact, you can have a good chat with him. If you are frank, I don't think he will refuse!"

Appoint a supervisor?

He's good at this kind of thing.

But Zhang Yimou...it seems that he has never been killed by other directors.

This old guy really cherishes his reputation.

He still understood Zhang Yimou's character.

"Well, I'll have a good chat with Director Zhang when I get home tomorrow!"

"Then I'll call him tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Third Master!"

Chen Jin is indeed grateful. Not everyone will call you.

Chen Jin was actually unsure, but after interacting with Han Sanpin over the past few days, he found that he was a person who valued talent.

In other words, he is willing to promote some filmmakers and young people whom he likes.

"Then you should go to bed early. I won't disturb you anymore!"

Chen Jin was about to get up and leave, but Han Sanpin quickly held back his hand: "Why are you in such a hurry? There is something I want to tell you first!"
