Zhou Zhan seemed a little excited!

"The Donkey Gets Water" is indeed a story that Zhou Zhan himself likes very much.

But Zhou Zhan is still relatively rational. He can be called the director who controls the best balance between business and art, which is not a false sense.

Instead, Zhou Zhan, who has failed many times and transformed many times, deeply knows that the balance between art and business cannot be really well combined.

Because art has always been a minority, while business must be a majority!

Therefore, the balance between the two cannot be truly achieved perfectly!

"The Donkey Gets Water" is indeed a rare and good story, but this story is really a niche. Is it possible for a niche movie to win the box office of the public?

Obviously impossible!

Wang Yifan also asked in surprise: "Not it? Didn't you tell them that "Donkey Dessert" is a relatively niche video?"

Zhou Zhan shook his head and said, "Why didn't you say it? But that group of people were already blinded by the box office of several previous movies. He felt that as long as it was the script provided by you, director Wang Yifan, there would be no problem."

Wang Yifan was also a little amused and crying.

In fact, this kind of thing is really uncommon!

After all, each of the movies at the Hongmen Banquet was unexpectedly successful.

How can this not make them have the same high expectations for "Donkey Gets Water"?

However, no matter how good a movie like "Donkey Gets Water" is, the box office ceiling will not be too high.

In his previous life, Wang Yifan remembered that this movie also had a very good reputation and received rave reviews. However, this movie is completely different from a movie like "The Sad".

"The Sad" focuses on dreams and family affection, which can be said to be a very popular emotion, so "The Sad" can have such a high box office.

And so many people can get a role in the meeting, which can also explain many problems.

But "The Donkey Gets Water" is different. Although this can also be included in the category of comedy, in fact, this is a very niche work.

Such movies have very limited audiences. Even if they are good at watching and have a good reputation, viewers who don’t like to watch this type of movie still don’t like to watch them.

This is obviously difficult to change.

"What is the budget for publicity and distribution?" Wang Yifan couldn't help asking.

In fact, Huaxin also invested in this movie, but Wang Yifan rarely asked about such things.

Most of the time, he mainly shows up and supports him. Of course, he can't care about so many specific operations.

So, he really didn't know much.

"The budget for the advance is 80 million!" Zhou Zhan said.

Wang Yifan was stunned for a moment. This number was really high!

You know, Zhou Zhan is talking about the advance budget, but you should know that movies like "Donkey Gets Water" have a box office of 200 million to 300 million, and it is impossible to achieve a level of 1 billion and 2 billion like "The Sad".

If you invest this 80 million, plus the cost of the movie itself, you won’t lose too much, but you will definitely not make money.

"Donkey Gets Water" in his previous life was starring a group of unknown actors. In this life, "Donkey Gets Water" has a much higher starting point than in his previous life.

But the movie genre itself limits the box office ceiling of the movie.

Even if this movie is much taller than in the previous life, that's all.

Maybe the box office can be more than tens of millions, but it is almost impossible to make it!

However, logically speaking, the higher the film promotion, the happier Zhou Zhan should be. After all, he is the director of this movie, but in fact it is not like this.

Because the high promotion of the movie shows that it is optimistic about the box office of this movie, but if it does not meet expectations, it will still cause great damage to Zhou Zhan's reputation.

For Zhou Zhan, this is not a box office movie, but it is a result of the success of the growth. How can it be good?

Are some movies, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", good movies?

Of course it is!

"The Redemption of Shawshank" can be said to be a recognized permanent classic film in the history of films. It has always dominated the number one spot on the rating list of major domestic and foreign films, and has been talked about by tens of thousands of movie fans. On the other hand, "The Redemption of Shawshank" failed miserably when it was released that year, and after many years of re-screening in North America, the box office still has a bleak box office. Why is that?

This movie failed. Of course, it was a bit serious, but in fact, it was really different from expectations!

The failure of this movie has a variety of reasons and has become the subject of research by many people.

Some people say that the reason why "Shawshank Redemption" failed is because this movie is not suitable for the big screen.

The truth is reasonable. "Shawshank Redemption" failed in the box office and performed poorly, but it can be said that the results were very good on the video tape.

So some people say that this movie is not suitable for the big screen, but movies are definitely good movies!

But in fact, some people also believe that the failure of this movie is ultimately because it is not a commercial movie!

Or, this is a relatively niche movie!

Why do you say that? Because a movie like "The Shawshank Redemption" is really not a good thing for young people, because this movie was not made for young people.

The content of this movie is very simple. Most of the plots are denied of self-worth, and the ending is sublimated into affirmation of self-worth. The ending is handled well, and the excitement when breaking free from the constraints is fully displayed. Compared with the self-denial in the previous part is not strong enough, or even boring. After all, the movie is not life. If any plot has a sense of tasteless food, it is a failure!

It is unreasonable to have too much box office expectations for this movie!

The same is true for "Donkey Gets Water". Young people may not like this movie because it is a satirical comedy, and a satirical movie that requires brains most of the time! Many people say that this movie has depth, but the problem is that movies that are truly in-depth are often not popular!

Of course, the reason why "Donkey Gets Water" is too much anticipated is because Wang Yifan's grades are so good.

That's why he came to Wang Yifan!

"What do you want me to do?" Wang Yifan asked.

"The person who tied the bell must also be able to untie the bell. They all have such a dizzy decision because they are so confident in you. Moreover, this time Huaxin is also the co-issuer, so, Director Wang, please say hello!" Zhou Zhan said with a wry smile.

Wang Yifan nodded!

This matter may not be effective if others say it. Don’t you see, director Zhou Zhan doesn’t agree with it.

"Okay! Let's go!" Wang Yifan came forward with such a thing, of course, but he couldn't just call him casually, saying that he would cut the publicity and distribution budget.
Chapter completed!
