MTL - What If I Accidentally Made My Debut?-Chapter 802 It's too long!

  Chapter 802 is too long!

"a lot of?"

"Well, boss, you know, I am in the post-production process myself, and I calculated it during filming. If it is presented completely according to the script, the current plot alone will take more than two hours. If it is all finished, it may take three hours Hours."

   "You mean, without counting the scene in Banff Park, it's almost three hours?"

"almost."

   "What about deletions?"

"That's the problem. I thought about cutting it out in my mind before. Even if I cut out some of the last parts, it still takes two hours now. If you add the scene in Banff Palace, it may reach two and a half hours! "

   "Can't you delete it again?"

  Han Guanqi smiled bitterly and said in confusion.

   "Boss, I can't delete it any more, the main body of the story will be incomplete if I delete it any more, and even if I delete a movie of this level, I will feel distressed even if I delete it for a minute."

  Qi Lin frowned tightly, feeling more and more difficult about this question.

  Nowadays, the general duration of domestic movies is about 100 minutes, and there must be opening and ending subtitles in it.

   And this duration is also the most common. After all, movies like this need to be exciting. If you spend too long, it will be difficult for the audience to stick to it.

  Another problem is that the theaters are not willing to show it for a long time.

   After all, one movie lasts for an hour and a half, and the other movie lasts for two and a half hours. They are also making money, so why don’t they both show them for an hour and a half? That way you can play it twice more.

   To deal with this situation, we can only increase the price!

   A two and a half hour movie is more expensive than a one and a half hour movie ticket!

  And this has caused another problem, that is, the audience does not buy it.

   After all, they are all movies, so why are you more expensive than others?

  So, if the duration is too long, it will be more troublesome.

   While Qi Lin was busy filming before, he ignored such an important issue.

Seeing that Qi Lin frowned, Han Guanqi said softly, "Boss, if I follow the current shooting plan, I can shorten the film to two and a half hours at the shortest. If it is further shortened, the narration will definitely not be satisfactory, and the audience may not be able to see it when they watch it." Feeling confused and jumping."

  Qi Lin shook his head resolutely and said: "It can't be reduced any more, two and a half hours is two and a half hours, can you guarantee that it will not exceed this time?"

  Han Guanqi nodded very seriously, and he knew in his heart how important this matter was.

   "Boss, then we can only increase the price of movie tickets."

   "No rise!"

"No increase? Boss, because of Director Zhang's movie, our theaters have already lost a lot of money. If the price of a two-and-a-half-hour movie does not increase, wouldn't the theaters be even more reluctant to give it to you?" Are we ready for filming?"

  Qi Lin was silent for two seconds and said: "Then we can't increase the price. The audience is our magic weapon. We have already said it in our publicity before, and the extra profit will be donated to charity."

   "If we raise the price at this time, what will the audience think? The audience will feel that we are using the extra money for charity, and that part of the money originally belonged to them. Can the audience feel comfortable?"

  Han Guanqi fell silent, he knew that what Qi Lin said made sense.

   Qi Lin said: "And the theater chain has almost been determined, it doesn't matter if the number of films scheduled is a little less!"

  Han Guanqi could only nod his head. It was useless to say anything now.

   "Then let's just promote it! A two-and-a-half-hour movie! There is no price increase for the quantity!"

   "Just let Wang Siqi do these things, and he will handle them well."

  Wang Xiaohua and others in China soon received the news. When they knew that the final movie would be two and a half hours long, and there would be no price increase for the increase, even Wang Xiaohua felt a little nervous.

   Now she suddenly regrets agreeing to Qi Lin to do charity. If she had known it would take so long, even with the same ticket price, she would still be able to attract the favor of the audience!

   But the problem is, it's too late! They have already said the propaganda, if they go back at this time, it is equivalent to digging a hole for themselves, or a super big hole!

  Wang Xiaohua immediately contacted Wang Siqi and asked him to start preparing for the promotion.

  Wang Siqi is also aware of the seriousness of this matter. This time in a contest with Director Zhang and others, if they leak the news in advance, they may lose. They must not take such a risk.

   "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely be fine with this matter!"

  Wang Siqi answered very simply. After hanging up the phone, he immediately contacted his two confidants, and waited for the two to come to the office before speaking.

   "There is news that must be kept secret."

  The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

  Just by looking at Wang Siqi's attitude, they knew that this matter must be serious.

  Wang Siqi said slowly: "This time, Mr. Qi's movie will last for two and a half hours!"

  The two were startled, and then one of them got up and said.

   "Two and a half hours? Isn't the film finished yet? Do you know the total time now?"

  Another person also said: "Since you came to us, there must be something wrong."

  Wang Siqi nodded, and said the matter of 'increasing the quantity but not increasing the price'.

  The two frowned at the experiment and said: "Then this matter is not difficult, it's just that it is difficult to protect the interests of the company."

  Indeed, this kind of thing of losing money and making money is very simple for them, and it is the kind of "stand and stand" thing that tests their strength.

  Wang Siqi pushed his glasses and said: "I didn't say that the matter is difficult, but that it must be kept secret! Therefore, the publicity plan for this matter will only be produced by the three of us in the early stage. If the wind leaks."

  Wang Siqi glanced at the two of them. Although he didn't say much, the meaning in his words was self-evident.

  The two looked at each other again and nodded in unison, and one of the older people spoke.

   "However, the price will not increase, and the time is still so long, will the theaters be willing to arrange films for us?"

  Another person shrugged and said, "This is beyond our control."

   United Cinemas.

  Wang Hongqi's male secretary Xiao Tang knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

   "Mr. Wang, just now Wang Xiaohua from Kylin Media invited you to dinner tonight."

  Wang Hongqi frowned slightly, put down the document in his hand and said.

   "About me for dinner?"

"Yes."

"tonight?"

   "Yes, but you have already made an appointment with Mr. Zhao and others tonight, and the time cannot be moved, unless it is after eleven o'clock."

  Wang Hongqi frowned. Since Wang Xiaohua was looking for him, she must have something to tell him.

   But the question is what can't be said on the phone? He mused slightly.

   "Tell Wang Xiaohua, I can't afford to miss the time tonight, if you want to invite me to dinner, come now."

   "Alright Mr. Wang."
