Chapter 18 First Time Trending on Social Media
Profit sharing ratio among parties:
Cinemas and theater chains typically account for a large proportion of net box office revenue, approximately 50%.
Distributors typically account for a larger percentage of net box office revenue, approximately 7%-10%.
Production company: Usually only 40% remains.
Therefore, the final amount is 91.7 × 40% = 36.68 yuan.
Revenue sharing ratios may vary depending on factors such as contractual agreements, film genre, and distribution method.
Compared to the initial 100 yuan, a simple calculation shows that it's about 35%, or 35 yuan.
However, Mozi Films also has to share this 35 yuan with companies such as China Film Group, Fiber Optics, and Wanda, so it's not much.
The following questions are not very serious; we'll just ask MaiMai, XiaoHu, and the others some more official questions.
The reporters then turned their questions to Zhou Ye, who played the second female lead.
"Zhou Ye, I heard you're a newcomer, how come you were able to land a supporting role right away?"
Because Zhou Ye was a newcomer and very beautiful, she attracted the attention of most reporters.
"Thank you everyone for your attention, I got the role after auditioning!"
Zhou Ye said somewhat nervously.
The people in charge of this project from China Film Group and Fiber Optics were thinking, "Holy crap!"
There's a mole! Terminate the deal!
Because most of the reporters who came to the scene had accepted bribes.
Unexpectedly, some people are so disrespectful that they actually ask such a suggestive question.
The Ghost Sisters are also very emotionally intelligent. Although the casting director wasn't there, they still picked up the microphone to defuse the situation when they saw it.
"Zhou Ye is a very talented actress. When we were auditioning and casting, we found that she was quite suitable."
"Yes, although Ono is a newcomer, she's perfect for the role!"
Fumino provided further explanation.
However, the reporters weren't about to let it go so easily; they continued to ask questions.
"Director Wen Muye, is screenwriter Mozi the owner of the production company? I noticed the company name is very similar!"
"Yes!"
Fumino said frankly.
Immediately, a group of reporters started making a fuss.
"How old is he? Is it convenient for you to say?"
He is a freshman at Yenching Film Academy.
"That means she's not even 20 years old yet?"
"A 20-year-old boss?"
The others' eyes lit up as well.
Now we have something to talk about!
Oh!
So talented and so wealthy!
A 20-year-old prodigy!
"A reporter, trying to stir things up, asked."
"Director Wen, is Professor Mozi trying to emulate Professor Han and Professor Guo's career transition? Do you think his adaptations will be better than theirs?"
Everyone else tensed up when they heard that.
"It's so serious," said Fumino.
"As Master Mozi once said, there is no such thing as a better or worse film or television work; the main thing is whether it is made with care."
The purpose of these works is to serve the public. Some people's photos might be too ahead of their time, which I don't understand at the moment! But some people just do a perfunctory job! So we can't make comparisons.
Everyone in the room seemed to be deep in thought. Although the words were unintentional, they could still be considered a criticism of many people!
The press conference ended quickly, and everyone dispersed after receiving their materials.
Filming for "Take My Brother Away" has officially begun, and the filming is proceeding at a rapid pace.
Each unit began reporting on its preparations:
"Lights in place!"
"Recording ready!"
"Camera shot confirmed!"
"Attention all departments, the first scene of 'Take My Brother Away,' shot one."
"Action!"
As soon as Wen Muye finished speaking, the film set fell silent.
In front of the camera, Eddie Peng and Zhao Jinmai, who play siblings, are playfully bickering. They have acted together before and their performance is very natural, as if they were really a pair of siblings.
Fumino sat behind the monitor, a satisfied smile on his face.
However, when the camera focused on Zhou Ye and Wang Ziqi, the situation was not so optimistic.
Although they were older than Peng Peng and the others, the two had never acted before, so they were a bit stiff and had to do several takes, which made the atmosphere on set a little tense.
Soon, Eddie Peng and Zhao Jinmai came over and shared some of their acting experience.
"This one is approved!"
"Everyone's worked hard, let's get ready to move on!"
"Fumimoto shouted excitedly."
The lead actors all breathed a sigh of relief.
A cheer erupted on set.
On the other hand, many media professionals on their way back have already started writing their articles.
The shrewd old hand made a phone call to his boss and planned to send out a photo right away!
"Director, although this is a low-budget film press conference, there are two important pieces of news: the screenwriter and the boss are the same person, and the students at Yan Film Academy are all under 20 years old!"
"This screenwriter once said: There's no such thing as a better or worse film or television work; it's all about whether or not it's made with care. Some people just do it perfunctorily!"
After listening, the head of a news department gave instructions.
"So you dare to say that? Then hurry up and post it. Anyway, he's not some big-name director, and they need traffic too."
This is a sales record!
And time waits for no one!
Besides, it's not a rumor!!!
Time flies,
Two hours later,
The press conference for "Take My Brother Away" sparked heated discussions on Weibo.
Li Feng handed his phone to Han Ziming to look at; the real-time entertainment trending list was all related to the recent press conference.

Netizens left numerous comments and remarks.
"First! Liu Ming, let's grab a spot!"
"You know what? You really have to admit! What he said makes a lot of sense!"
"This author is awesome! I think he's right. Anyone have a big dick to upvote this post?"
"I'm so impressed! I wholeheartedly agree, he's absolutely right!"
"Wow, is it possible that some directors are so bad they're practically incompetent, utterly garbage, and just did a perfunctory job?"
"Agreed! Those directors and screenwriters are absolutely awful! I'm speechless."
"Why is this happening? It's because capitalists want to fleece investors, so they just hire any Tom, Dick, or Harry to direct movies!"
"This is obviously a rich kid messing around in the entertainment industry; this movie is destined to flop! What kind of dedication is this? Pshaw!"
"Exactly! He hasn't even finished school yet, and he's already starting a company, making TV dramas and movies. Isn't he just a complete swindler?"
"Let's wait and see just how much effort he puts in!"
There are both positive and negative comments, but thankfully the movie has finally gained some buzz! Some of the comments are clearly from paid trolls hired by the director who was criticized.
Some netizens, frustrated and disappointed, tagged various directors everywhere, leaving sarcastic comments:
@Director Chen "You really did make an avant-garde film! I misunderstood you! I just didn't understand it! Now I understand!"
@Director Zhang: "Your filming style isn't avant-garde anymore; the plot just isn't engaging!"
@Director Lu: "Yan Ying's new screenwriter says you're not putting your heart into the production."
By openly pointing fingers at these directors, big and small, Han Ziming was quickly noted down by a large group of them.
Fortunately, these famous directors are all seasoned veterans and won't easily step in to boost Han Ziming's fame.
However, some junior directors don't think that way.
A moment of patience brings peace, but taking a step back only makes you angrier!
They left comments on Weibo saying:
"This is outrageous! In times without heroes, a mere scoundrel has risen to fame!"
"That's just youthful arrogance. Once you enter the workforce, you need to learn to respect your elders!"
Han Ziming was speechless.
It's not like I'm criticizing you guys!
Although the company hasn't started yet, Han Ziming still posted on Weibo.
"If you can do it, then you do it; if you can't, then shut up!"
They're all young people, and everyone has a temper. After all, youth has no price, so they might just go all out in your face!
Of course, Han Ziming wasn't just messing around; he only chose unknown directors who were trying to ride the coattails of others' popularity.
But this has certainly boosted the movie's popularity!
