Rebirth 2003
Chapter 305: Reality
When Lu Yang was about to code the first chapter, he received a call from Wang Lin. As soon as Lu Yang pressed the call button, Wang Lin’s laughter came from the phone: "Haha! Wenda, you are so coquettish! You are so fast! Just sold the game adaptation rights! Okay! This way, your reputation will be even greater! When the "Gate of Rebirth" we invested in is released, it will surely attract more box office! , I’m taking advantage of your cooperation with Wenda! The movie hasn’t been promoted yet, I guess many of your book fans are looking forward to this release! I now understand why those investors always like to find famous ones The screenwriters, famous directors, and those big-name celebrities are acting in the movies they invested! Ha ha, this has a celebrity effect, the box office has a foundation before the movie is released! Haha!"
I was complimented and always happy. Lu Yang smiled and said, "You passed the award! I am also a bit famous in the internet literary circle. If you compare me to the big directors and celebrities, you look up to me too much!"
Wang Lin: "Wen University! You don't have to be scornful! Tell you a good news! Frog and I have been editing the trailer of the movie recently. We plan to use the trailer to pre-heat it online before the movie is released! Well, that's right , Maybe we will do some commercials on several TV stations! By the way, do you have any good ideas to help us promote? Speaking of creativity, you should be better than us?"
Creative in publicity?
Lu Yang touched the stubble on his chin, thinking of the frenzied clips and trailers a few years later. The trailers in a few years will not be as well-regulated as they are now. A movie is a trailer. In Lu Yang's memory, before the second part of "Ip Man" was released, it was just a trailer of various versions. It seems that seven or eight first ten have been released. Starting from the post-production of the film, one after another version of the trailer has been released to the outside world. Almost a third or more of the plot of the hour’s movie is edited into trailers. Let it out first, though, in the end this behavior. It has been criticized by many people, but it is undeniable that the box office of this movie has indeed become hyped.
Lu Yang invested in this "Gate of Rebirth", not for art. Making money is the first. Right now, Lu Yang told Wang Lin about this idea.
Wang Lin: "No? Wen Da! Cut ten or eight trailers? No one has done this before? Besides, even if all the trailers are released on the online video sites, the publicity cost may be one million. Not enough!"
Lu Yang smiled and said: "One million is not enough, let's invest more! Post-production promotion is sometimes more important than the previous shooting. We can't lose this step!"
Wang Lin hesitated for a while. Then he said: "Okay! Since Wenda wants to do this, then do it! Anyway, I now have some pocket money. When the time comes, Wenda will add as much investment as you add!"
Lu Yang: "Well, don't be afraid to spend money on publicity! I can add another million! We don't have a big director or star in this movie. If the publicity is still reluctant to pay for it, just wait for it!"
After Wang Lin made the decision, he answered simply.
"Ok! Even if you lose, it's not a bad thing to thank this million!"
Lu Yang was speechless. Before the film was edited, Wang Lin wondered if he would lose.
When putting down the phone, Tong Yaqian was looking at him with a smile but a smile. Seeing Lu Yang's gaze, Tong Yaqian said with a smile and a smile: "Sure enough, he is a big tyrant! You can add one million in investment! One million! In the eyes of your big local tyrant, is it no different from 100 yuan?"
Lu Yang walked over with a smile, put his arms around Tong Yaqian's shoulders, and smiled: "What? I'm afraid I will lose the money for you to buy the villa?"
Tong Yaqian: "Go! Who wants your villa? I don't care if you add millions! I'm just talking!"
Lu Yang smiled and kissed her, Tong Yaqian pushed him away.
Lu Yang smiled and returned to his seat. He didn't immediately start to continue the codewords, but instead wondered if he continued to add another million, how would this million come from? Is it necessary to use this game adaptation fee?
How do you feel that you are earning more and more money, but it is getting less and less spent?
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yang temporarily put it aside and continued the code word. As he said to Wang Lin just now, this movie has no big investment, no big director, and no big star. Really have to wait for the lost money!
The script of this movie was written by Lu Yang himself. He himself knew that it was not very good, because at the time of writing, he had not planned to participate in the investment, just to give his first die-hard fans a little bit of return.
So, I didn't use the few low-cost movies that I remembered at the box office.
In Lu Yang's original prediction, it was filmed according to this script. If the director's skill is enough, it should be no problem to make a few million dollars, and it is basically impossible to make a big profit of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
If the director's skill is not enough, it is possible to save money or even lose money.
After all, if a movie is good or bad, the script can only play a part. The key lies in the director.
The same script, the quality of the finished products produced by different directors is absolutely different.
During the filming of "Gate of Rebirth", Lu Yang went to see it twice. From Lu Yang's eyes, Director Dai Qingwa's level is not bad. The pictures taken are not like inferior video tapes. They should not lose money. .
This is also one of the main reasons why Lu Yang took the initiative to propose additional investment in publicity.
A movie that shouldn't lose money, after doing a good job of publicity, it should be no problem to make a small profit.
……
The next day, Lu Yang went to work as usual. Walking on the campus in the early morning, he met a few teachers on the road. Lu Yang found that these teachers were very enthusiastic today, so he took the initiative to greet him from a distance. His eyes seemed to match. It used to be a little different.
The same goes for entering the office, as if waking up, everyone became enthusiastic. A male teacher in the same office saw Lu Yang coming in and said, "Huh? Teacher Lu is still at work today? What a role model for my generation! If I were you , Earned so much money, and still go to a fart class!"
Another female teacher who had spoken ill of Lu Yang behind his back also smiled: "Mr. Lu! Is it a treat for such a big happy event? Four-star or five-star?"
Shao Dahai, who hasn't taken the initiative to speak to Lu Yang for a long time, also smiled and said: "Lu Yang! We are classmates and roommates! You can do it yourself!"
Xu Heng: "Lu Yang! I know you are not a stingy person!"
was already a step ahead, Tong Yaqian, who was sitting behind the desk, did not speak, but with a sneer at the corner of his mouth to see how Lu Yang responded.
Lu Yang may not know the many faces of those people before, but she has seen a lot of them.
Lu Yang smiled and said, "Money, I let it be credited to my parents' accounts, so much money is put on me, K city is so messy, I'm terrible, I can't go back, treats are fine, but only in the cafeteria Now! You all take care of it!"
"Ah? No? If you make two million, please invite us to eat in the cafeteria?" The female teacher exclaimed, with a disappointed look on her face. Other people's reactions were not much better. She shook her head and said, the cafeteria should be forgotten. , How much can I eat if I die?
That said: "The canteen is the canteen! The few dollars you save are a few dollars!"
Xu Heng said, "Isn't it right, Lu Yang? Don't you still have a lot of contribution fees? Wouldn't it be okay to have a big meal?"
When Xu Heng said this, the eyes of several people in the office brightened again, looking at Lu Yang one by one, Lu Yang smiled and shook his head, and said, "The manuscript fee has also been paid home. I can only afford the cafeteria. Would you like to eat? "
Several people became disappointed again, and the female teacher curled her lips and murmured: "Really stingy!"
Xu Heng: "Really canteen? Then I want to eat beef and chicken legs!"
Several other people looked at him contemptuously, Lu Yang nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes!"
These few people in the office, except for Tong Yaqian, Lu Yang has no good feelings, and want him to have a big meal? Do you panic when you have too much money?
Lu Yang has always had a distinct love and hatred character. He will not be stingy in repaying people who are good to him, and he will appear very stingy if people who are not good to him want to take advantage of him.
As for the beef and chicken thighs that Xu Heng asked for, how much can I eat if I die in the cafeteria? The more he eats, the more his colleagues look down on Xu Heng.
……
Before Lu Yang sat in the office for a few minutes, Bi Dongxue’s voice came from the door: "Lu Yang! Principal Sun asked you to go to his office! Hurry up!"
"okay!"
Lu Yang promised and came to Vice Principal Sun’s office. As soon as he walked in, he saw the smiling face of Vice Principal Sun.
"Sit! Teacher Lu!"
In addition to Vice Principal Sun in the office, there is also Vice Principal Lu, and Vice Principal Lu’s wife Liang Hongyun is also there.
Vice Principal Sun and Vice Principal Lu both sat on the sofa in front of the desk. Liang Hongyun leaned against the edge of the desk with a smile. Vice Principal Sun called Lu Yang to sit. Where can Lu Yang sit? Sit on a sofa with them? Or sit in Vice Principal Sun’s boss chair?
Lu Yang was speechless, but with a smile on his face~lightnovelpub.net~ said: "Uh! The principal has something to do as long as you tell me! I have been sitting a lot in the past two days, and I still stand comfortable!"
Lu Yang said, in the office, both Vice Principal Sun and Liang Hongyun laughed out loud. Even the people who are usually unsmiling, Lu Yang, have a little smile.
After laughing, Vice President Sun gave Lu Yang a virtual finger and said with a smile: "You! You can talk! This time I'm calling you! It's not that you have something to tell you, but we all heard that yesterday When you got off work, someone from a game company came to you to buy the copyright, didn’t you? In the family building last night, several teachers who read novels all spread the story! Say you sold two million for a copyright! It’s a book that exceeds our income for several lifetimes! I am calling you this time! I just want to talk to you! No other meaning!"
Liang Hongyun smiled and interjected: "Little Lu Yang! You suddenly made so much money, would you like to treat me?"
Vice Principal Sun and Vice Principal Lu both smiled and looked at them, happy to see their success.
"Of course! Wherever the leaders want to eat, I will take it wherever you want!" (To be continued...)
