Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

However, the director's absence does not affect the marketing of "The Amazing Race". At least the actors are getting more attention than the director. Besides, the Best Director award only proves the director's ability. The audience is still buying it so far, and Jiang Hanzhou is not willing to really put a lot of effort into marketing Zhou You.

"The money spent is like water flowing away. Zhou You has gained fame and benefits, but he will kick us out and cooperate with other companies later," Shen Yao raised her hand and twirled her pen, indicating that no one would want to be a good person. At least it is a good result that the feud between them and Zhou You can end peacefully. If any problems break out during this period, it will be a matter of both sides buying each other smear articles.

In the entertainment industry, the easiest way to ruin someone's reputation is to spread rumors about them. Don't be surprised if there are a lot of negative articles or stories about someone's dark past on the internet. Most of them are the work of rivals, and a small number are just a way to sabotage someone who has offended a former partner before leaving.

The system expressed surprise, asking, "Do they also buy smear articles?"

"Of course, but we don't buy smear articles, we're just releasing what he's done in the past." If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. Shen Yao has all the gossip about the "No One's Calculation" crew in her hands. Right now, she's just waiting to see if Director Zhou You really wants to renege on his promise.

According to Jiang Hanzhou, they didn't want to make things so big, or at least they didn't want to become too estranged, since the two sides had a pleasant working relationship before.

system:……

The system thought to itself that its host's idea was very likely to come true, because Director Zhou You was currently in an ambiguous relationship with several film and television production companies, and even the movie that was originally scheduled to be filmed was planned to be postponed again.

Tut tut

This is the reality of the entertainment industry. Whoever offers the most benefits will flock to that side without hesitation. Director Zhou You's remuneration for filming "The Amazing Race" was already quite high, but other production companies offered even higher prices.

Is Zhou You some kind of saint who doesn't love money? Then why did he cooperate with Jiang Hanzhou?

In essence, Jiang Hanzhou's support for Zhou You was simply because he felt that investing in directors was more profitable than investing in actors. Actors standing in the spotlight risked their reputation collapsing, but directors, working behind the scenes, could reliably sell their work for a good price as long as they didn't make any major mistakes.

But unexpectedly, before he could truly see his own value, he couldn't wait to get rid of Jiang Hanzhou and go earn the value that had already been marked.

Shen Yao told the system to wander around more when it was free, as they had been focusing their energy on the movie "The Amazing Race" lately.

Based on the current hype and publicity, it's estimated that there will be several more waves of viral marketing before the film's public preview screenings.

'You sound just right. The audience's opinions are very important to the film,' Shen Yao told the system to help her build her career. It would be best to accurately figure out what the audience likes to watch, so that even if they spend money, it won't be biased.

system:……

The system was thus captured by the host and used to contribute to his career.

The system wanted to rebel, but unfortunately it really liked to do sneaky things, and besides, it was free gossip, so who wouldn't listen to it for free?

The system not only thrives online thanks to its surveillance capabilities, but it can also roam around and eavesdrop on gossip. It even managed to pick up some insider gossip about other movies that were showing, such as the lead actors being involved in illegal or disorderly conduct, morally corrupt individuals, or having terrible character... If this gets out, it will be a huge blow to the movie.

Shen Yao stated that she is not so shameless as to attack other movies, and that other movies would also attack "The Fast and the Furious".

Shen Yao couldn't possibly be so naive as to think that "The Amazing Race" was completely clean and without any dirt on it.

"Use desperate measures sparingly," because others will find out.

Even if they don't discover it, the other party will identify the suspect immediately.

This is a simple deduction of who benefits first and who takes action later. There is no such thing as a clam and the heron fighting while a fisherman reaps the benefits. People in the entertainment industry have always been the type to drag all their associates down with them, sharing both joy and sorrow, with the main idea being that if one person is not doing well, others should not be either.

She raised her hand to rub her forehead, then opened the laptop next to her, which contained documents from the company.

With nothing else to do, Shen Yao browsed through the contents of the file. Finding that she had no use for it, she opened the search box with her mouse and started browsing the forum.

It has various sections, and Shen Yao's favorite is the entertainment section.

The information above is all insider gossip, some true and some false, with a roughly 3:7 ratio of truth to falsehood. Next to it are several very obvious marketing tweets promoting the movie.

It just so happens that the movie "The Amazing Race" is featured. The video, written in the voice of a fan of one of the lead actors, ostensibly praises the actor's hard work and dedication, but in reality praises the production team, saying that a good horse deserves a good saddle. The video ends by wishing the movie great success and also uses a few very brainwashing pyramid scheme-related terms.

Shen Yao opened all the movie tweets and browsed through them. Finally, she either screenshotted or forwarded the content she thought was good to the chat interface, and instructed the company's public relations department to take it into consideration and try to spread this kind of marketing all over the Internet.

At this point, there's no reason to overdo it. The most direct and effective approach is to expand comprehensively at the beginning. You can even make money in smaller, unknown cities, not just large and medium-sized ones.

The storyline of "The Fast and the Furious" is good; at least it's a movie suitable for all ages.

Especially with the preview screenings of the film, various reviews have appeared online, the vast majority of which are praises, and even the few negative comments do not deny the story content of "The Fast and the Furious".

Online searches for movies are increasing, covering all aspects, including movie content, actors, and behind-the-scenes stories—all of which can be considered ways to boost box office revenue.

As for whether it will be useful, Shen Yao looked at the rising cheers online and the increasing number of preview screenings, and thought the movie shouldn't make too little money.

The movie "The Amazing Race" will be officially released before the end of the year.

The reason why the film didn't try to capitalize on the family-friendly movie during the New Year's season is mainly due to the content of the film "The Amazing Race".

It's not a serious comedy after all, so it can't bring the audience 120 minutes of laughter.

Moreover, the competition during the New Year period is even fiercer than it is now. Jiang Hanzhou's plan is simply to make a profit, recoup his previous investment, and then, based on that (word of mouth), make a fortune with similar films.

Jiang Hanzhou even designed a sequel to the story, increasing the interconnectivity of the film's content and making it more immersive for viewers who have seen the film.

Unfortunately, director Zhou You's recent behavior has been too obvious, and their film collaboration is likely to fall through.

…………

An ordinary cinema in Beijing

Shen Yao, wearing a mask, appeared at the cinema with Jiang Hanzhou. The two of them each bought a ticket for "The Amazing Race" and would go in to watch it when the time came.

This was the first time the two of them had sat in front of the big screen, apart from the preview screenings.

The surrounding area was filled with men, women, and children who had come to watch a movie. Among them were a few laughing children who chattered about their daily lives, but were eventually stopped by their elders who whispered to them not to talk carelessly.

"Is this a movie you like to watch, or was it directed by the director of 'The Rebirth'?"

"It's been getting a lot of positive reviews online lately, not only from celebrities and actors, but also from many people who have seen it."

"Yeah, but what you hear online can be true or false. Wasn't XX, which was released at the same time, terrible? Yet there are still a bunch of idiots online praising its special effects."

"..."

Ahead of the two was a young couple discussing online news before the movie started showing. They were clearly drawn to the positive reviews of "The Amazing Race" and couldn't resist coming to see it in person.

There are many similar people in the movie theater. Because the movie is popular, the theater can't afford not to make money, so the movie is shown a lot here. For example, when Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou came, this movie theater had about eight screens, and more than half of them were showing the movie "The Fast and the Furious".

The dragon logo pops up on the movie screen, and the name "The Fast and the Furious" appears at the top.

With a gasp, the scene shifts to a dilapidated little house, and Shen Yao watches the movie with a completely different mindset than before.

Because Shen Yao's thoughts change every time she watches a movie.

"The Fast and the Furious" is indeed a movie that is above average. It is rich in content but doesn't make a lot of sense. However, it is surprisingly healing and satisfying.

As the movie ended, the credits were shown, which included the names of Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou.

People around them gradually got up and left. Shen Yao took Jiang Hanzhou's hand, and the two decided to find a place nearby to have a meal first, and then go back to the company to discuss the next promotional methods.

Movie screenings have time limits, usually no more than a month, and sometimes even less, unless there are special circumstances or the subject matter is special, in which case the screening period may be extended.

If nothing changes, the movie "The Amazing Race" will definitely make money around the Lunar New Year, because the New Year release window will give way to it.

After all, the movies released during the New Year period are eager to make a profit, as this is the holiday with the largest number of visitors.

The expectation for "The Amazing Race" during the New Year's period is to make money if possible, and not to lose money if it doesn't, because it has already made a profit from its early release. One shouldn't be too greedy.

The most profitable periods for the entire film market are during holidays. It's impossible to eat the meat yourself and not let others have any soup; that would block all the paths.

After finishing dinner, the two strolled off to work and then went home to rest.

Suddenly, there has been a surge in online news about "The Amazing Race".

Generally speaking, these comments are about the film's content and the actors' performances, especially the actors' fans. Although the audience doesn't like the numerous brainwashing statements, they do achieve the desired publicity effect. Whether or not they have seen the movie, everyone now knows the name "The Fast and the Furious".

It's worth it if even one person goes to the movie theater for this reason.

When it comes to advertising, everyone does it this way: throwing money around to attract traffic. Some film studios even go further, using false advertising.

Snapped--

Shen Yao lowered her eyes to look at the contents of the magazine that had been handed to her, and the page was focused on Director Zhou You's chubby face.

Shen Yao:......

She was given such a surprise as soon as she joined the company!

Jiang Hanzhou tugged at his tie helplessly. "Zhou You has made it clear that he doesn't want to co-star in a movie."

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow. "He turned down both movies. What makes him think he can make a movie like 'The Fast and the Furious'?"

Jiang Hanzhou scoffed, "He doesn't have that confidence, but the other party is offering too much."

With an extremely high base salary plus a share of the box office revenue, "The Amazing Race" has now grossed over 1.5 billion yuan and is still dominating the entire film market with a daily growth rate of nearly 100 million yuan.

The predictions from professional data companies change daily.

Current predictions suggest that the film will eventually gross between 2.5 and 2.8 billion yuan, and with good luck, 3 billion yuan is not impossible.

It's fair to say that the movie "The Fast and the Furious" truly brought the company significant benefits.

Zhou You thus proved that his Best Director award was well-deserved.

Other investors who wanted to observe further were like sharks that had smelled blood, eager to swim in and take a bite.

Despite Zhou You's current good treatment, if the movies he makes don't meet expectations, all his current honors will be like castles in the air, collapsing and no one will care.

"You agree?"

Shen Yao rested her chin on her hand, thinking to herself that this was not like Jiang Hanzhou's style.

This is certainly not like Jiang Hanzhou's style. This person would not give away benefits for free. In fact, he has never suffered a loss since entering the industry. He was only a little more gentle when facing Shen Yao, but this did not violate his bottom line.

In other words, he doesn't act on emotion; in some ways, he's frighteningly rational.

“I agree, but Director Zhou’s actions did make me a little sad.” You see, before “Rebirth” won the Best Director Award, Zhou You’s position in the industry was awkward, neither high nor low. It was Jiang Hanzhou who took the initiative to give him a chance, which led to “Rebirth” turning the tide.

The results of it

They've turned their backs on us!

Jiang Hanzhou tapped the table, indicating that he couldn't do nothing at all, but he wouldn't really ruin Zhou You either. "The other party promised to provide compensation and not to touch similar films or use them as a gimmick to sell their products."

Shen Yao felt that it was too early to say that; Zhou You hadn't even stumbled yet.

When things really take a turn for the worse and they have no choice but to rely on this story to make a comeback, then we'll see what Zhou You's bottom line is.

However, Shen Yao felt that Zhou You was just an ordinary person with no bottom line. He could unilaterally break up the cooperation between the two movies. It was not impossible that he would come back to fight for the copyright of the movie story in a desperate situation.

Jiang Hanzhou smiled, speaking casually, but the coldness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Then you can't blame me for being too ruthless. Originally, we were supposed to part amicably." Even the gentlest temper has its own nature, and Jiang Hanzhou is no pushover.

"Hopefully it won't come to that."

"hope so."

After "The Amazing Race" officially finished its run in theaters, the two of them warmly invited the crew to a celebration party, and then went abroad for a trip, enjoying a rare and relaxing time.
