Chapter 648 Wedding Preparations
The division of North American summer vacation and domestic summer vacation is not the same.

The domestic summer vacation generally starts from mid-to-late June to the beginning of the school season in early September, which takes roughly two and a half months.

In North America, summer holidays generally start on Memorial Day at the end of May and last until Labor Day on the first weekend of September, more than three months.

However, due to the North American screening system, the film release cycle is generally longer than that in China. Therefore, during important periods such as summer vacation, film companies generally release films in advance to stir up the market.

On May 2 this year, "Reunion [-]" was released early.

It opened at the box office of US$1.9 million in North America and is now raging around the world.

On the first day in China, it sold a good result of 2.2 million yuan, injecting vitality into the deserted market after May Day.

It's a pity for such a good film as "[-] Citizens", which was released two days later.

This year, a major film company will release many films in the summer, the most important of which is "Jurassic World"!
Cheng Lingfeng spent 1.6 million US dollars to concoct the reboot of the "Jurassic" series.

The film is scheduled to be released simultaneously in North America and around the world on June 6, but it will be released in advance on the 12th in China.

However, the company will release "Doomsday Collapse" in advance at the end of May, intending to start the first shot of the summer file.

"Minions with Big Eyes", as an animation company's gold-lettered signature repertoire, was put on the Golden July by Universal.

One more thing, the global distribution and peripheral development of the "Despicable Me" series (including the "Big Yellow Man" movie derived from it) has always been the responsibility of Universal, which was the first to cooperate with Disney.

As for the animation film in "Despicable You", Long Xingfu contracted the distribution and peripherals.

DreamWorks is very happy with this!
Disney is half a member of DreamWorks, and Katzenberg and Jurassic are sworn enemies. A small animation company is so close to Jurassic, it has already made DreamWorks emotional.

If after DreamWorks cheated all over the world's investors - all the eight stars were cheated by me and ran away with buckets - now I can't find a moneyless "Oriental villain" like Long Xingfu, Kasenberg Ge had already quarreled with Long Xingfu.

As a repertoire, "Big Yellow Man with Small Eyes" has been performing very steadily, and the company has paid too little attention to it. This year's animation market, the company's bet is "Inside Out".

"Inside Out" was also specially brought to Cannes to participate in the screening.

As for the other films in the summer file, most of them are blockbuster sequels, and they can be screened one by one according to the plan made later.

Disney asked: "Will Universal still be the most affectionate to renew your contract?" Disney wanted to delay getting all the reboot licenses for the "Dragon Star Fu" series, but Universal is still the most affectionate, and we must first see the performance of the first part. Besides.

Both sides also understand what each other means. Disney wants to delay getting the series and eat the cake himself. Anyway, he wants Universal; If the performance is unsatisfactory, Universal would also mind continuing to let Disney do it.

Negotiations between the company and Universal have basically come to a standstill.

Cheng Lingfeng is also managing Universal now, and the movie is about to be released, so there is no room for negotiation.

After having lunch with the people in the company, Long Xingfu also had time to rest, drink two cups of coffee and continue working on the film festival.

In China, Cheng Yu'an and her groomsmen and bridesmaids are relaxedly preparing for the wedding with her belly upright.

The wedding date was set on May 5 half a year later, and the venue was still at the State Guesthouse. There was a mistake, it was the place where Cheng Yuan held the coming-of-age ceremony 29 years later!
There are 78 tables for the banquet, and only close relatives and friends of both parties are invited.

The wedding banquet dishes are mainly fresh and delicate Huaiyang cuisine, and the chef is Zhou Dayan, a small Huaiyang cuisine master.

With less than two weeks to go before the wedding, Cheng Yu'an and the chef team just set the menu today.

A table of 10-12 people, including hot dishes and snacks, a table of 16 dishes in total.

Famous Huaiyang dishes such as lion head with crab powder, eight sets of duck, squirrel mandarin fish, Wensi tofu, and white robe shrimp were all served on the wedding banquet table by Cheng Yuan.

What kind of expensive ingredients are used for the wedding banquet, and it takes two weeks to prepare the ingredients, which is sufficient.

"Yifei," said Hu Ge back, "Chateau Latour has already prepared the goods and is doing the first inventory. It will be sent on Monday at the latest, and it will arrive in two days."

Disney held a wedding, and Chateau Latour contacted the wedding preparation team to promote its own wine.

Napoleon is used for champagne, Fenjiu is mainly used for Chinese liquor, and there are not many Tequ and Xifeng wines from Moutai and Baqin.

Xiyan uses red pandas that can be bought in the market. Disney has a way to get special cigarettes, but it is necessary.

"Yifei, Godiva is going to apply for delayed delivery." Shu Chang said, "Our factory's production capacity is not scheduled to come here."

There is no ten thousand things to prepare for the wedding, and there is no ten thousand troubles and worries. Cheng Yu'an became annoyed when he heard that Godiva could deliver the goods on schedule: "Is there a loud bang after that? What is Rolls in chocolate?" Rice, if I knew you would have booked Ferrero."

Godiva chocolates are used as wedding candies as souvenirs, and the souvenirs Cheng Yuan prepared for male guests include no chocolate + lipstick + custom-made brooches.

Disney's gift for female guests is chocolate + pen + custom cufflinks.

Shu Chang hurriedly explained: "It will be two days late, but our China general manager patted his chest to assure you that the wedding will be delayed."

"It will take two days to pack the presents," Cheng Yu'an said very nicely, "hundreds of gifts."

"Yifei!" Mom called out to you.

"mom!"

"Sit on him, talk well." Liu Dali scolded you, "Don't play your temper with the bride's identity."

Mother knows Cheng Yu'an's character and temper very well.

"Everyone said it would delay the date, why is he delaying it?"

Cheng Yu'an hurriedly sat next to her mother while supporting her waist, and Liu Dali said: "I said earlier that I wanted to do it myself and let the team do it. He insisted on listening, and now he lost his temper when something happened.

"If there is no problem, solve the problem. He has learned from Yu'an at all."

"Ah!" Disney, who was far away in Cannes, sneezed, thinking that his wife must be thinking about him.

Cheng Yu'an got emotional after being told by her mother. After a short rest, she finished looking at the concierge list and said to the person in charge of the invitation: "Is there anyone who can come? Hurry up, it's still too late to adjust the position." .”

"The Nolans are here. "Dunkirk" is still in preparation, and both of them have time."

"All right. Will Anne come?"

"Anne Hathaway will definitely come."

Once the list is confirmed, relatives and friends in China will basically be absent, and those in the country, including the Cheng family, such as Disney's aunt and grandma, will come if they are old enough to take an ocean-going plane.

But the generation of uncles and nephews outside the family will basically come if they can.

Both the Liu family and the An family will also come to the capital.
