Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 1261 Schedule

Skyview Entertainment Company.

Jiang Bei, who was supposed to be out of town doing promotions, returned to the company.

"Director Jiang."

In response to other people's greetings, Jiang Bei waved his hand and continued walking forward without stopping, his expression somewhat solemn.

Yesterday, he received a call from Qin Da, and Tan Yue’s new movie was suddenly announced to be released on National Day. To them, the strength of this competitor was too strong, and they needed to renegotiate the relevant matters of the movie.

Jiang Bei took the high-speed train back overnight. He didn't get enough rest after arriving home, and his mind was full of thoughts about this matter.

According to the plan, the crew of "A Sky Full of Stars" should be doing promotional activities today.

But plans cannot keep up with changes, so the film's promotion work can only be postponed temporarily. Everything will have to wait until today's meeting is over.

Walk through several offices.

"Director Jiang, you're back!" Qin Da's secretary said, "Boss Qin and the others are already in the conference room. I'll take you there."

Jiang Bei said "hmm" and followed the secretary to an office.

The secretary knocked on the door and went in directly.

"Boss Qin, Director Jiang Bei is here."

"Let him in."

Jiang Bei walked in. In addition to Qin Da, there were other senior executives, including the director and deputy director of the film department, and the director of the public relations department.

"Mr. Qin."

"Come and sit."

Jiang Bei walked to an empty seat and nodded to everyone to sit down.

Qin Da said: "I asked you all to come here today, I believe you all know what happened."

Yesterday, he was also a little confused when he saw the news.

He was well aware of the time for the opening ceremony of Tan Yue's film, which was relatively short, and thought that it would not be released on National Day.

Therefore, some time ago, after Jiang Bei’s movie was completed, it was directly scheduled to be released on National Day.

The senior executives nodded, and some of them looked solemn.

Among them, the director of the film department had the most serious expression.

He has been under tremendous pressure in recent years.

Qin Da asked the film department to make a movie that could achieve good results in the global film market.

But there has been no result.

This time Jiang Bei transformed into a film director, and he took it very seriously.

The other directors in the company have no hope for the time being and can only place a glimmer of hope on Jiang Bei.

Transformation work is so important.

This was Jiang Bei’s first time making a movie, and he didn’t know whether it would be liked by the public.

And now that Tan Yue has also entered the scene, things will become even more dangerous.

Qin Da continued, "Tan Yue's movie has been announced to be released on National Day, and Director Jiang's movie is also released on National Day. The two movies just happen to be released on the same day. I won't say much about Tan Yue's movie. I asked everyone to come here today to discuss this matter."

The director of the public relations department said: "According to our monitoring of various data yesterday, since Brilliant Entertainment announced that Tan Yue's new movie would be released on National Day, it has been the top search on the list and has also been a hot topic on some other social platforms. Among the nine movies released on National Day, this new movie ranked first in search volume with an absolute lead."

No one was surprised to hear this data.

They are already used to the fact that Tan Yue's films are so popular.

"Director Jiang, before you came, we had a brief discussion. Now we have two options." Qin Da said, "The first option is to withdraw the film from the schedule and release it at a time different from Tan Yue's film. We will choose to release it in one or two months."

After all, the pressure of competing with Tan Yue is too great.

It was hard to tell what box office results Jiang Bei’s first film would achieve, and competing with Tan Yue, his hopes of winning were even slimmer.

"The second option is to continue to release your film during the National Day holiday as planned, and we will adjust the promotional plan."

As the words fell, the office fell into silence.

Not only Jiangbei, most people are in a dilemma.

Qin Da leaned back in his chair, looked around at everyone, and said, "Tell us your opinions first."

"My suggestion is to withdraw the film for two reasons." The director of the public relations department said, "First, although we don't know the quality of Tan Yue's film this time, I think the quality will definitely not be bad. There is a lot of pressure in the face-to-face competition, and this is Director Jiang Bei's first time making a movie."

Qin Da nodded and listened carefully.

"Secondly, we have invested too much in this film. If we lose, it will be a big loss for us. Similarly, it will be a big blow to Director Jiang Bei."

Jiang Bei lowered his head, finding it hard not to agree.

I have been preparing to become a film director for several years.

It took more than a year from selecting the script to shooting the first film.

We have spent so much time and energy just hoping that the first movie can achieve good box office and reputation.

But if he fails, he doesn't know how to face himself in the future.

Qin Da first glanced at Jiang Bei, then asked the director of the film department.

The director of the film department believes that the publicity work has been fully launched, and it is already known throughout the Internet that Jiang Bei’s new film will be released on National Day.

If the film was withdrawn at this time, it would obviously be because they were afraid of Tan Yue, and it might cause a huge public opinion online.

Of course there is something more important.

Major cinema chains across the country have already scheduled their screenings, and it would be very troublesome if the film were to be withdrawn from the schedule at this time.

Regardless of whether it is withdrawn or released as planned, everyone has their own opinions, and they all make a lot of sense.

After listening to the answers of several people, Qin Da did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he looked at Jiang Bei and asked, "Director Jiang, what do you think?"

No matter what the senior leaders say, it still depends on the director's opinion.

After all, the director is the "biggest" person in a movie.

Jiang Bei's eyebrows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

After listening to the advice of several people, he felt even more conflicted and didn't know what choice he should make.

moment.

Jiang Bei said, "I think we should stick to the previous plan and release the film on National Day. Up to now, we have visited more than ten cities, and the promotion process of the film was posted by many people on Douyin, which caused quite a lot of discussion at the time. If the film is withdrawn at this time, I think the audience will be disappointed."

"Another point is that it would be too much trouble to contact the theaters to withdraw the film at this time."

Although the release date of Tan Yue's new movie has had some impact on the screening rate of his own movie, the screening rate is still relatively high, at around 20%.

It is second only to "A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box".

With such a screening rate, it is guaranteed to have the strength to fight.

After all, I put all my effort into this movie, so maybe it will be successful.

If he defeats Tan Yue, he will become a god in one battle.

Qin Da thought for a moment and said, "Then we will follow the original plan and continue to release "A Sky Full of Stars" on National Day."

The greater the risk, the higher the return.

Qin Da said: "Yesterday, I contacted two theaters, and they guaranteed that the screening rate of our film would not be less than 20%. For us, this is also a guarantee."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but only a sigh.

The opponent is too powerful.

"Since the release is as planned, and now there are new emergencies, the publicity plan needs to be adjusted." Qin Da said: "Before the movie is released, we must stir up the popularity. The more people know about it, the better. At least in the first few days of the release, the screening rate in major theaters will not be too low. As long as we can seize this opportunity, we have a chance of winning."

"Okay." The director of the public relations department replied.

"Hurry up and come up with a promotional plan. Jiang Bei, you don't need to promote the movie for now. Once a new plan comes out, you can continue the promotion." "Understood."

"Time is tight, you guys go do your own things." Qin Da looked at Jiang Bei and said, "Jiang Bei, you stay."

The others left one after another, leaving only Jiang Bei and Qin Da in the office.

Qin Da put the notebook aside and said, "There is no one else here, I will tell you something from my heart."

"it is good."

"Our competitor this time is Tan Yue. You should have paid attention to the box office performance of Tan Yue's movies in the past few years. This competitor is too powerful. You must be prepared for failure."

Jiang Bei has put in a lot of effort to transform himself into a film director, and Qin Da is worried that Jiang Bei's film dream will be shattered.

The first film work in life has to face the huge mountain of Tan Yue. Who wouldn’t be nervous?

"Boss Qin, don't worry, I have thought this matter through and I will look at it rationally."

Jiang Bei is not a person who dwells on trivial matters. He will not lose his rationality when facing some difficult problems.

Just like deciding to release your movie on National Day as originally planned.

He had considered that there was a high probability that he would lose to Tan Yue.

"That's good." Qin Da breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the first movie in your life, the main purpose is to learn."

"Okay." Jiang Bei nodded.

"Once the PR department comes up with a promotional plan, I'll have someone send it to you. You've been busy with promotions lately, so go back to the office and take a rest."

After saying that, Qin Da left.

Jiang Bei also returned to his office.

I came back quite suddenly, there was no water, and I just sat in front of the computer, slightly distracted.

Although I figured out some things, I still felt a little annoyed.

Before Tan Yue's movie was officially announced, Jiang Bei felt that his movie could still compete for the box office championship, but now he feels that it would be enough to just maintain the second place.

"Tan Yue, Tan Yue, why did you choose to release the film during the National Day?"

Jiang Bei held his chin and let out a long sigh.

It is a foregone conclusion that Tan Yue’s new movie will be released on National Day. What we can do now is to continue to expand the publicity so that more people can know about "A Sky Full of Stars".

Just as Qin Da said, thanks to the relationship with Tianjing Entertainment Company, all major theaters gave the film a good screening rate in the early stages.

As the popularity of a movie grows, more people will go to see it.

Jiang Bei adjusted his state and prepared to start a new round of publicity.

Time is running out and a new publicity plan will be out soon.

……

……

Jianjiang, film and television base.

After finishing filming "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box", Luo Yanghui came back and continued to perform as an extra as usual.

Luo Yanghui came back early because he had finished filming his scenes there.

"Tang Monk" doesn't have many roles in this play.

He is different from Sasha. He has to make a living and it is impossible for him to stay in the crew all the time.

Luo Yanghui never mentioned his role in Tan Yue's movie to anyone.

One aspect is confidentiality.

On the other hand, he felt that there was no need to say anything, because although the role was important, he didn't have many scenes after all.

"Cut. Extras, please leave first. The show is over."

Luo Yanghui got up from the ground and brushed the dirt off his body.

Then I followed the staff to change my clothes.

The extras didn’t have their own dressing room, so they just changed in a corner.

Luo Yanghui took out his silent cell phone from his pocket and saw several calls from friends.

"What's the matter? Why are there so many calls?" Confused, Luo Yanghui called his friend.

"what happened?"

"Lao Luo, you are too mean."

"What are you talking about?" Luo Yanghui was even more confused.

"Did you appear in Tan Yue's movie?"

Hearing this, Luo Yanghui quickly found a place where no one was around and whispered, "How did you know?"

He was so busy performing as an extra to earn money that he was unaware that Brilliant Entertainment had already started promoting "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box".

"I saw it online. Today I heard someone discussing Tan Yue's new movie, so I checked Weibo. I recognized you right away among the many makeup photos."

"So that's how it is." Luo Yanghui breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought he had let the cat out of the bag.

There will be severe penalties for casually revealing details about movies that have not yet been released.

Not to mention the fine, you may even have to go to jail.

"Well done, Lao Luo, you really do great things quietly. I didn't expect that you actually passed the audition."

"You also know that there is a confidentiality agreement. I can't tell you."

"Clear, clear, what does it feel like to star in Tan Yue's movie?"

"Feeling?" Luo Yanghui pondered, "Director Tan has very high requirements for actors and has a very high degree of control over the roles. Director Tan is also a very good person."

He only had a few minutes of scenes, but it was shot over and over again.

Tan Yue has always provided patient guidance and constant encouragement.

"that's it?"

"Yes." Luo Yanghui asked, "What do you want to hear?"

"Forget it, forget it. Lao Luo, you are so unfriendly this time. Tell me what to do? I don't care if you sign a confidentiality agreement. This movie will be released on National Day."

“It’s released on National Day?”

"Don't you know this news?"

"do not know."

No matter whether it is day or night, Luo Yanghui will take any role he can get. He doesn't even have time to check the news online or even his phone.

After hearing this, my friends were speechless for a moment.

Luo Yanghui said: "After the movie is released, can I treat you to a meal?"

"Of course, but can you let me choose the place?"

"no problem."

The two chatted briefly and hung up the phone.

Luo Yanghui quickly opened Weibo and saw the promotional poster of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" forwarded by Tan Yue.

"Haha."

Luo Yanghui put away his phone and left the crew with a smile.
