CTTT Chapter 190.1

The day before the release of “Epic”, Jiang Ting was a little worried, so much so that she couldn’t eat for the whole day.

This was her first time directing a movie in the true sense of the word.

The shooting time was five months, which was as rough as it could be compared to the three years it took to shoot “The Great Prosperity” in the previous world.

However, Jiang Ting still tried her best to make it perfect.

She led her team to work overtime to rush out the special effects of the movie.

Western fantasy themes require large-scale special effects to show the style of Western fantasy themes, so every frame of the shot must be real and perfect.

But she was still worried, so she asked the assistant who was specially hired by her.

“How many screenings are there for the other directors’ films?”

Seeing that she was upset, the assistant didn’t dare to disturb her. He quickly turned on the computer and showed her the screening schedules of the latest movies.

At present, the film with the highest screening volume in Alan Cinema is Lu Qian’s “Struggle”, with a screening volume of 40%, Jiang Ting’s “Epic” with 30%, Zhang Qiu’s “Warrior’s Call” with 15%, Qi Lanyue’s “Sea Monster” with 10%, and other movies together account for 5%.

Because last year’s “Director’s Project” announced in advance that four directors would release new movies during the summer, many new films by directors this summer were either released earlier or postponed.

Regardless of Jiang Ting’s own ability, the reputation of Lu Qian, Zhang Qiu, and Qi Lanyue alone was enough to make many unknown directors retreat.

Perhaps Zhang Qiu and Qi Lanyue were nothing in front of Qin Xiang and Zhang Feilong, but they were well-known and could easily crush those small directors.

Apart from a few animated films released during this summer, there were almost no new films. Most of the films being played were old ones, and the screening volume was only around 0.4% and 0.6%.

Alan Cinemas gave Jiang Ting 30% of its screening schedule out of respect for Qin Xiang and Luo Hong, which was already the highest.

Then, Jiang Ting thought about it and asked her assistant to look up the screening schedule of Whale Entertainment.

Soon, the assistant looked up the screening schedule of the major films of Whale Entertainment, which showed that Lu Qian’s “Struggle” had a screening schedule of 33%, Qi Lanyue’s “Sea Monster” had a screening schedule of 1%, Zhang Qiu’s “Warrior’s Call” had a screening schedule of 23%, Jiang Ting’s “Epic” had a screening schedule of 4%, and the other films added up to 9%.

Jiang Ting looked at the screening schedule given to her by Whale Entertainment and twitched her lips. It would be better to take her film off the shelves with such a small screening schedule. It was too insulting.

When Qin Tang was arrested, Whale Entertainment fell into internal turmoil. After the filming was finished, Jiang Ting’s men thought about trying Whale Entertainment.

As a result, the current head of Whale Entertainment is the second largest shareholder. He decided to keep “Epic” and gave it a 4% screening schedule as a token of appreciation, which made Jiang Ting laugh and wish she could take the film back.

But Qin Xiang advised her not to go against the money. If the quality of the movie is good, the theaters will beg her to schedule more screenings in the future.

It is not that the cinema chain can add as many screenings as it wants.

Take Alan Cinema, for example.

It said that it would give Jiang Ting 30% of the screenings. The contract for this 30% of the screenings is 50-50.

However, if Alan Cinema wants to increase the screenings again in the future, it will have to re-sign the contract.

By then, it will not be Jiang Ting begging the cinema chain to add screenings like before, but the cinema chain will be begging Jiang Ting.

The contract split will also increase significantly and will be biased toward Jiang Ting to a great extent. For example, 60-40 or -0-30 will fall on Jiang Ting.

The current contract signed by Jiang Ting and Whale Entertainment is 4% of the screenings, and the profit sharing is 60-40, with Whale Entertainment taking 60% and Jiang Ting taking 40%.

Staring at the number of screenings scheduled by Whale Entertainment, Jiang Ting narrowed her eyes, hoping that Whale Entertainment would never have to beg her.
