tearjerker director

Chapter 81 Make waves again
Unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades, the publicity effect of "Mom Loves Me Again" is unexpectedly good.

On the other side, "The Legend of the Walled City" and "Deadly Companion" also increased their publicity.

For a while, the situation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms actually formed.

In fact, when it comes to the genres of the three films, the degree of overlap is not high. "Heroes of the Walled City" is an action shootout film, adhering to the style of gangster hero movies on Hong Kong Island, among which the Walled City is enough to illustrate the problem.

And "Fatal Companion" is a suspenseful action movie, which focuses more on suspense.

"Mom Loves Me Again" is said to be a bit confusing because of the massive "leaked script" on the Internet, but everyone in the industry knows that this is Li Yi's sensational drama as always. .

Although the degree of overlap is not high, May [-]st is not a popular schedule, so the three movies are actually a bit crowded.

Simply put, May [-]st may accommodate two blockbuster movies, but three is a bit much.

In fact, for any schedule, it is usually difficult to have more than three big-selling movies, and this is based on the premise that the duration of the popular schedule is long enough. Maximize the benefits.

After all, the output of the market in the same period is usually limited.

And because the May [-]st holiday is too short, the three movies are released almost on the same day, so even if the three movies do not overlap, the competition is still fierce!

At present, judging from the scale of distribution, "Fatal Companion" is ranked first, "Heroes of the Walled City" is second, and "Mom Loves Me Again" is at the bottom of the list.

But this is just the initial schedule, and the shorter the popular time slot, the higher the requirements for publicity.

Because if you can’t attract the largest number of viewers to the theater at the very beginning, then not only will the follow-up affect the film schedule of the theater chain, but at the same time, the number of viewers will drop sharply in the following time, which will be even more difficult to accommodate. With so many blockbuster movies, it can almost be said that it will be a winner-takes-all situation.

This premise is that the word-of-mouth quality of the movie is almost the same!
Huanyu Film and Television is one of the earliest private film and television companies in China. It can be said that Huanyu has been able to develop into a "giant" company in the film and television industry today, and indeed has a lot to do with the Hong Kong circle.

Among them, Huanyu Film and Television has the closest relationship with companies and celebrities in Hong Kong Island.

For example, this time Huang Zhenyi's movie "Heroes of the Walled City", Universal is not only the distributor but also the investor.

The person in charge of the "Heroes of the Walled City" project is the vice president of Huanyu Film and Television Company, Wan Mingquan.

In the meeting room, Wan Mingquan is hosting the pre-screening meeting of "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes".

In addition to the people from Universal Film and Television, the director Huang Zhenyi and the representative of Hong Kong Star, Zhou Xiangcheng, attended the meeting!
"Mr. Zhou, I don't care about the grievances between Hong Kong Star and Li Yi, but I hope that next time, if Hong Kong Star has any plans, you can let us know first. If Hong Kong Star has communicated with us in advance, you guys will mess with Li Yi." There is no problem with his movie, but the problem is, even if you do it, what good will it do to our movie? Not at all, but instead created an opponent for us!" Wan Mingquan said very bluntly.

Although there is no need for Hong Kong stars to tell Huanyu about this matter, they messed up in the end. Just like what Wan Mingquan said, the original Li Yi's movie, whether it is the movie cast or the scale of distribution, has nothing to do with it. It's not enough to become their biggest competitor, but in the end, because of the leaked script, the popularity of the movie "Mom Loves Me Again" has skyrocketed, and they have to pay attention to it.

Zhou Xiangcheng said with no expression on his face: "Mr. Wan, our Hong Kong star's film against Li Yi and him is not entirely due to personal grievances, but a complete plan. It's just that some accidents occurred in the early plan. "

Wan Mingquan glanced at Zhou Xiangcheng, crossed his arms and said, "Oh? Then Mr. Zhou just talked about your original plan? Let's discuss whether it is necessary to continue to implement it!"

"Mr. Wan, Director Huang should know that our company's artist Wu Ting has made a lot of noise because of his lines, and once Li Yi's new movie is released, the public opinion that has been calmed down at the beginning will inevitably be brought up again by the media. Therefore, we hope to be able to act first!"

Wan Mingquan groaned for a moment when he heard the words, but he became interested and said, "Tell me, how do you strike first?"

"In the beginning, Wu Ting was forced to switch roles because he was not good at Mandarin, but in our film, Wu Ting practiced his Mandarin pronunciation hard, so he is completely different from the original one. I believe Director Huang can prove this point. Zhou Xiangcheng looked at Huang Zhenyi and said.

Huang Zhenyi nodded and said, "That's right, because in "The Legend of the Walled City", the character played by Wu Ting came from Cong Mainland, so he doesn't understand Cantonese, he can only speak Mandarin, and he has indeed made great progress!" He also used his original voice in "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes."

"I think this point can be used as a hot spot for publicity!" Zhou Xiangcheng said.

"When we promote, we only need to highlight the progress of Wu Ting's Mandarin and compare it with his earlier accent. I believe the audience will clearly feel his progress. When we are on the show, we can make Wu Ting feel wronged. Some, just say that the other party did not clarify the specific requirements at the beginning, and then they can directly apologize to Li Yi publicly."

"Director Huang, what do you think?" Wan Mingquan waited for Zhou Xiangcheng to finish speaking, then looked at Huang Zhenyi.

"I think it's feasible. At that time, the other actors in the crew and I can talk about Ting Zai's hard work and progress." Huang Zhenyi seems to be quite optimistic about Wu Ting, or he wants to sell Hong Kong Star Entertainment, so he said with a smile .

"Okay, we can do it with Huanyu to guide public opinion, so that Wu Ting's performance can be more exaggerated, such as crying in public and then sincerely apologizing to Director Li Yi after being wronged. Public opinion has exerted a lot of pressure." Wan Mingquan added with a smile.

Wu Ting was notified very quickly. In fact, Wu Ting had been waiting for this day for a long time.

What's interesting is that the stage for Wu Ting's apology arranged by Huanyu was Jingnan TV's "Writing About Movies" program.

In terms of the style of the program, "Things About Movies" is indeed quite suitable for Wan Mingquan's plan this time.

After all, Wu Ting was the key figure in the "discrimination" incident at the beginning, and as Zhou Xiangcheng said, this incident cannot be covered up. After the movie is released, there will definitely be media that will take the initiative to bring up the old incident. After all, at the beginning Wu Ting was switched roles, and now Wu Ting's new film and "Mom Loves Me Again" will be released at the same time. This is a gimmick.

It would be strange if Jingnan TV's "Things About Movies" didn't ask about the original incident face-to-face.

Starting from Jingnan TV Station, after that, Wu Ting can perform to his heart's content.
