Chapter 656 Making money is not easy
The next two days.
"Death Is Coming" was cut into many promotional short films and appeared on major short video platforms.
Xu Hao was hit and killed by a bus.
Wang De slipped in the bathtub and was strangled by a wire.
Matt was killed by a billboard...Liu Li was stabbed in the heart with a kitchen knife. At the end of these short films, a very strange picture appeared on the screen.
A pair of eyes that seemed to pierce from the abyss stared at the character image underneath the title of the movie "Death Comes".
Apart from these.
Director Zhou also spent money to hire a lot of marketing accounts to publish relevant information about the movie "Death Is Coming" in many places.
"Is it a coincidence or an arrangement!?"
"Does the God of Death exist?"
"Chen Jiahui and Director Zhou collaborated for the first time. On the first day of the new year, "The God of Death" came to shock"
Perhaps Director Zhou has really become smarter this time. She actually found someone to spread the word about a series of coincidental deaths in Hong Kong City, and she spent money like water.
In just a few days, 20 to 30 million yuan was burned.
But the effect is obvious. It's a wonderful Spring Festival, and with her help, the entire Internet is filled with a weird atmosphere, as if the upcoming Spring Festival is not the Spring Festival, but the Qingming Festival.
at the same time.
Several production companies in Hong Kong City are also promoting their own movies on a large scale. As early as the end of January, Chen Jiahui learned the number of movies that will be released on New Year's Day this year and the list of main creators.
It may be true that due to the influence of "Gubu Dagang", many production companies have adjusted the schedule of their works, but even so, there are still 27 movies released this Spring Festival.
Among them, "Guns and Bullets" directed by Lin Chao is the main one.
Next is "Five Guns" directed by Zhang Mou. As the top director in Hong Kong, his casting selection this time is very special. He actually gave up some professional actors with acting skills and chose several popular sketch actors nowadays.
.
Xia Luo auditioned for his film in July, but for some unknown reason, director Zhang Mou did not use him. Chen Jiahui did not understand the director's mentality.
How to say it!?
This director is one of the directors in Hong Kong who has the best control over the image. Perhaps due to his background in art, his use of lenses is average, but when it comes to image aesthetics, the shots he shoots can be included in the textbooks of the directing department of art schools.
The ultimate beauty.
The atmosphere is heightened to its peak.
But his grasp of the story is a bit unhuman. The key point is that this director is also very commercial and often uses actors that make people confused. For example, this time, Charlotte was not used, but he actually used actors who acted in sketches.
Chen Jiahui admitted that some of the actors in the sketches have become very popular in the past two years, especially one of them who has become well-known to everyone. In terms of popularity alone, Chen Jiahui is not as good as others, but acting in sketches and acting in movies are really two different things.
The sketch focuses on shaking off the baggage.
His performance style has always been based on stage drama.
Movies are different.
Movies need to create characters, from the heart to the expression, and pay attention to an immersive performance, so Chen Jiahui really can't understand what this person wants to do!?
But even so, Chen Jiahui does not dare to underestimate them. After all, these sketch actors have become so popular in recent times. Even if they perform in different ways, they cannot maintain their popularity and wide audience.
Except for these two great directors, they were all small projects, but one of them attracted Chen Jiahui's attention, an animated film "Tyrannosaurus Rex". Chen Jiahui paid attention to this animated film because of the entry of the animated film market in recent years.
Before a very stable development, similar to movies, there are many examples of poorly made films doing well at the box office, and good films doing poorly at the box office, but it is obviously different when it comes to animated films.
The development of animated films has always been benign.
Good quality products are more popular.
Of course, if it's bad, you won't make money.
This reminds Chen Jiahui of the movie "The Devil" that he invested in. Due to work reasons, Chen Jiahui also doesn't like to participate in other people's creations. Many people in the industry know this.
Like the movie where Chen Cheng went to Taicheng to shoot.
As the chief investor, Chen Jiahui has never been there. The same goes for "The Devil Boy". Even though the studio is in Hong Kong City, Chen Jiahui has never been there either.
to this end.
The two directors even complained a few times.
But Chen Jiahui believes that they like investors like him from the bottom of their hearts.
However, after seeing "Tyrannosaurus Rex", Chen Jiahui planned to take time to go to the studio, because Chen Jiahui felt that Blue Star was like Earth, and good-quality animation movies would definitely bring him huge profits, so he must pay more attention to it.
one time.
Once it becomes a box office hit like that anime movie on Earth.
Chen Jiahui planned to write "Kung Fu Panda" and let the studio produce it. Chen Jiahui remembered this animated film series very clearly, which directly brought more than one billion US dollars in revenue to the production company.
Now that it's here.
Having acquired another animation film company, Chen Jiahui naturally cannot let go of such an opportunity.
Besides "Kung Fu Panda", Chen Jiahui also remembers an animated movie called "Madagascar". If this happens, Chen Jiahui can directly take the top spot on the artist rich list and become the young man with the most investment vision in the entertainment industry. But
This kind of animated film takes an extremely long time to produce and is extremely expensive to produce.
With Chen Jiahui's current net worth, it's okay to invest in one movie, but it's obviously very difficult to invest in two movies. He can only accumulate personal assets while slowly producing.
The only benefit.
That is, he has a goal.
night.
Chen Jiahui had just returned home from a day of promoting, and Director Zhou happened to be back too.
"Hey, isn't this the male lead in "Gubu Dagang"! In a few days, it will be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and our war will begin. Once again, whoever loses will show off."
Director Zhou smiled and said.
"You really don't want to switch gears!?"
Chen Jiahui looked at her and asked.
"Why do you want to switch gears? Are you afraid of losing!?"
Director Zhou smiled teasingly, then walked around Chen Jiahui twice with his chin on his chin, and said, "You have a pretty good figure..."
At this point, her words paused for a moment, and then she said angrily, "Nude, with such a good figure, I am useless as a wife. I have taken advantage of Ye Xuan in vain. When I think of this, Chen Jiahui, I tell you, as you
My wife, I'm very angry. I'll just wait and see. One week after the first day of the new year is the deadline. If I win, I will make you unable to get out of bed for three days."
"..."
Chen Jiahui really has nothing to say to his wife.
She is obviously a woman, why is everything she says so rude!?
"Also, you should help me promote "The God of Death" in the past two days. Don't say we are making a bet. You are the producer and screenwriter of this movie. According to convention, you should be responsible for the promotion. Last point, "
Once "Death Is Coming" starts to make a profit, you have to give me a share according to the top directors in Hong Kong."
Director Zhou opened his mouth.
"Are you a top director!?"
Chen Jiahui asked rhetorically.
Chapter completed!
