raknovel Chapter 17 "Kuai Ge" Press Conference
Chapter 17 "Kuai Ge" Press Conference
The call connected shortly after, and Han Ziming spoke directly.
"Hello, Teacher Zhao, I am Han Ziming from Yan Ying, and also the author of the novel 'The Beginning.' I plan to adapt this work into a film."
We're currently looking for a cameo role as a police chief. The price is negotiable, and it can be done in just one day. Do you have time to take the part?
Zhao Yingbao looked at the unfamiliar phone number but didn't hang up immediately, because anyone who could find her number must have connections.
"I'm sorry, I really don't have the time."
"Teacher Zhao, I will be filming a period drama based on the novel 'The Story of Minglan' next year, and you can play the female lead."
Han Ziming said enticingly.
After hearing this, Zhao Yingbao remained silent for a moment.
She knew about the novel "The Story of Minglan". The plot was pretty good, and the novel had many fans. If it was adapted into a good drama, it should be a hit.
"Okay, add me on WeChat with this phone number and send me the script. If the character is good, my agent will contact you to sign a contract."
Indeed, money makes the world go round.
While it's not everything, you can't do anything without money!
Han Ziming quickly added Zhao Yingbao on WeChat and sent her the script.
The next day, I received a message from her team's agent.
She can make a cameo appearance, but the female lead role in "The Story of Minglan" needs to be included in the contract.
The entertainment industry is indeed a place of fame and fortune!
However, Han Ziming is a newcomer and a low-budget director, so he can't compare to the real top stars yet. Zhao Yingbao has been a queen of hit dramas in recent years, and her ability to attract investment is outstanding!
Moreover, she has gradually transitioned to capital. "Princess Agents" was a project she acted in and invested in, and she is expected to make a lot of money next year.

Mozi Film and Television Company is not very well-known.
The Weibo comment section is mostly filled with comments and check-ins from fans of the original work after the original authors, Ghost Sisters, reposted it.
Only after major companies like China Film Group, Fiber Optics, and Wanda Group reposted it did a few people start commenting.
However, Han Ziming's personal Weibo account, "墨子" (Mozi), has many followers because he is an online novelist.
After Han Ziming forwarded it,
This immediately sparked a frenzy among die-hard fans, who flooded the comments section with complaints!
"The author finally remembered his account password! He disappeared for two months; we thought he was dead!"
"That's right, there's been no news at all, and they're not releasing any new books."
"Hey upstairs, let's not get into this nonsense. You're such a terrible author, why don't you adapt your own novels into films and instead become a screenwriter for other books? Don't you have any confidence in your own work?"
"I think he just lacks confidence, which is why he doesn't dare to adapt his own novel into a film."
"By the way, will we still be able to read novels in the future?"
"Hmph, boycott it! I won't even watch this movie, not even a dog would want to!"
"Just by looking at the production company, I know it's his company. I'll quickly find his address and send him razor blades."
"But with actors like Mai Mai, Peng Peng, and Xiao Hu, this movie should be a sure thing. My expectations are through the roof!"
"Yes, this comic is amazing! I hope the movie will perfectly capture the essence of the original!"
"Seriously, Zhou Ye is so beautiful, she's like a fairy descended from heaven."
"Yes, ah! Done!"
"Wait, this road upstairs is so bad, how can you even drive on it?"
"It's mainly about the innocent look! I shuddered a little at this JK (high school girl) promotional photo!"
"It'll only take three years to get started."
"You are truly capable of being tortured and interrogated!"
"Stop, wait, where did you guys go off-topic?"
"By the way, does anyone know what this dog author looks like? I didn't care how much I begged for updates or how much I cursed, but he never posted a picture!"
"What's the rush? He'll definitely show up at the movie premiere, then we'll know who he is."
"Maybe he's really ugly, that's why he doesn't dare to show his face."
"Agreed!"
"+1"
"+10086"
However, Han Ziming didn't notice that his Weibo comments had always been muted and blocked.
It's a real dog! That leaves the haters with nowhere to attack!
Time flies, and it's already September 26th, in the afternoon.
Han Ziming and the crew of the movie "Take My Brother Away" took the high-speed rail to the hotel on Xiamen Island where the film crew was staying.
After reading together for several hours in the evening, the group went to rest.
The next day, at 10 a.m.
At the press conference for the movie "Take My Brother Away", dozens of media personnel were already waiting.
Before long, the Ghost Sisters, Wen Muye, Peng Peng, Zhao Jinmai, Xiao Hu and others walked onto the stage, and the reporters quickly took out their cameras and started taking pictures frantically.
"Snap! Snap!"
The flashbulbs kept going off. Most of these reporters were hired by China Film Group, Fiber Optics, and Wanda Media, or were media outlets under their own companies, mainly to help promote the film.
Whether you like this movie or not, the movies of the three giants are still coming, and we can't refuse them.
Moreover, the Ghost Sisters comic is quite popular, and many fans from the Xiamen Island area have come to read it.
On the stage of the press conference, a banner with several large characters was displayed.
Press conference for the start of filming of "Take My Brother Away"!
The opening ceremony was very simple. A suckling pig and some fruit were prepared, and incense was offered to each person.
About half an hour later, the ceremony ended.
Wen Muye, holding the microphone, said, "Dear media friends, thank you all for coming. However, time is limited, so we'll just pick a few friends to ask a few questions, okay?"
The media cheered with laughter, "Great!"
Many reporters are shills; they're just trying to make money! They shout a few words, create a buzz, and get paid. It's not shameful!
After the director's opening remarks, the press conference moved into the Q&A session with the media.
Many reporters raised their hands.
The first person to ask a question was a Weibo entertainment reporter, who posed the question to the lead actor, Eddie Peng:
"Peng Peng, do you think you can carry a movie's box office? 'Brother Kuai' is adapted from an anime and has a large fan base. Do you think it can gross over 100 million?"
What the hell!
Peng Peng was completely stunned!
What kind of segment is this?! Nobody said we were supposed to talk about box office targets, right?
This is different from the movie premieres I've attended before!
Help me! Help me! Help me!
At this moment, Fumino picked up the microphone and spoke.
"I'll answer that question."
"Peng Peng is an excellent actor, perfectly suited for this role; his audition was practically a natural fit!"
"We expect this movie to gross around 200 million! Lower your expectations a bit, and you'll be pleasantly surprised!"
Wow!
The actors all stared wide-eyed!
Other media reporters were also in an uproar! They kept taking out their cameras to film! This was a sales opportunity!
Even though this movie isn't very popular! But who cares, KPI achieved!
Because this movie reportedly cost less than 30 million to make, even if it cost 200 million, it would still make a lot of money!
However, there's actually a lot to learn about how movie box office revenue is split.
simply put.
If the box office is 100 yuan,
Film Development Fund: Typically accounts for 5% of box office revenue.
Business taxes and surcharges: typically account for 3.3% of box office revenue.
After deducting the net box office revenue, which is the basis for revenue sharing between cinema chains and production companies (91.7% of the total box office revenue), this figure is used to calculate the revenue.
