Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

"The movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is officially finished!"

After hearing director Lin Yuan's voice coming from the loudspeaker, the entire crew cheered in unison.

The crew held a launch conference in early February after the new year, and now in mid-May, excluding the time for Lin Yuan to participate in the Magnolia Awards and the crew's selection of scenery flowers, it has been exactly three months since it was fully booked, and it is finally over. filmed.

The three-month shooting time is not too fast, as expected by Lin Yuan, but it took a week or two longer than expected.

There are many scenes, frequent close-up shots, and the delicate portrayal of the relationship between the characters. It really takes time to make the movie "The God of Medicine" the most satisfactory effect.

If it weren't for the good selection of actors this time and few mistakes during the shooting process, I'm afraid the film will have to wait until June before it can be completed.

Although the film is finished now, it does not mean that the filming is finished, and there is still a long period of post-production process.

After the movie was finished, the first thing Lin Yuan did when he returned to China was to send the finished film to the light.

Submit for review first, then edit.

Movies with realistic themes like this are bound to face deletions, it just depends on how serious the deletions are.

However, during the period when the film was submitted for review, Lin Yuan had a relatively leisurely time.

Taking advantage of this time, he planned to hurry to Wang Baoqiang's side and film his "Havoc in Tianzhu".

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to drag him along all the time, don't wait until his crew has finished filming all the other scenes, and only miss this scene where he shows his face?

So Lin Yuan approached Ning Hao and directly explained his intentions: "Director Ning, please keep an eye on "The God of Medicine", I still have some things to deal with."

The reason why Ning Hao was asked for help was purely because he had experience in this area.

At the beginning, no matter whether it was "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing" or "No Man's Land", they often hit a wall when they were submitted for review. I have learned a lot of experience. When I filmed films like "Heart Blossoms on the Road", did it go much smoother without seeing it?

"Okay, I thought it was something."

Ning Hao patted his chest and agreed directly: "This matter is on me."

After dealing with the affairs of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Lin Yuan took a plane to the crew of "Havoc in Tianzhu".

As soon as he arrived on the set, he was welcomed by the crew.

In fact, like these crew members, they usually see a lot of stars.

The reason why he was so excited was that Lin Yuan had just won the Magnolia Best Actor Award some time ago. The popularity of celebrities in the circle was not the first, but he always maintained the top three position.

The second is that the cast of their "Havoc in Tianzhu" is really a bit underwhelming now.

Except for Wang Baoqiang, a top star, Bai Ke, Liu Wei, and Yue Yunpeng are all second-tier stars, and they are actors with little box office appeal, but this is not difficult to understand, because the total investment Wang Baoqiang received It's only about [-] million yuan. After deducting his own salary and the expenses of the crew, the remaining budget is not much.

Inviting these relatively well-known stars in the second tier was Wang Baoqiang's last stubbornness.

As a result, in terms of the cast, the crew of "Havoc in Tianzhu" can't compare with the two films "A Good Show" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine". It's no wonder that Wang Baoqiang wanted Lin Yuan He and Huang Bo made a cameo appearance in a movie.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan doesn't have many roles, and while waiting for the filming, he can also take time to watch the box office of the May [-]st movie.

This year's May Day schedule is much more intense than last year.

The four films "Bomb Disposaler", "Master of Memory", "I Like You", and "Chunjiao Rescue Zhiming" have been widely promoted before they are released, and they are holding fan meetings and drawing tickets for the premiere movie , in order to promote the movie, it can be said that various methods have been used.

In addition to the movie itself, there are two things that netizens are very concerned about during the May Day schedule.

One is whether there is any movie that can break the box office record set by "The Mermaid" during the Spring Festival schedule, and the second is whether Huang Bo can regain the position of the number one actor in the domestic cumulative box office with the movie "The Master of Memory".

I don’t know if it’s a topic created by the movie distributor, or if netizens like to watch this kind of news. In short, these two topics rushed to the top of the hot search list, let alone passers-by and netizens who don’t know, even Lin Yuan After seeing this kind of news, I feel a little curious.

It's just that when the box office comes out, whether it's filmmakers in the industry or netizens who want to eat melons on the Internet, they suddenly feel a little dull.

The reason is very simple. The box office of "Bomb Disposal Expert", which has the highest box office during the May [-]st period, is only [-] million, while "Master of Memory", which is highly expected by netizens, has a total box office of less than [-] million, let alone surpassing "Mermaid". "The box office has been recorded. The combined box office of the two films is not as high as one-fifth of others' box office!

But this made Lin Yuan heave a sigh of relief.

Huang Bo's "Master of Memory" only won 2.9 million box office, which means that he is still the actor with the highest cumulative movie box office in China.

On the other hand, "Havoc in Tianzhu", which started filming at about the same time as "I'm Not the God of Medicine", has also entered the final stage of filming.

During the period, Chen Sichen also visited the crew of "Havoc in Tianzhu".

In fact, I came here for one thing, and that is to say hello to Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang. The film "Tang Detective 2" has been prepared, and it is expected to be filmed quickly at the end of the month.

After the success of the movie "Tang Detective", Chen Sichen's ambitions have naturally grown a lot. What he wanted was to release "Tang Detective 2" during the Spring Festival next year. As a result, five months have passed. If you are busy shooting, you will not be able to catch up.

Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang also directly agreed.

Anyway, the filming of the scenes here has already been finished, and there is still a week or two before the end of the month, which is enough for them to adjust their status.

After finishing a few scenes in "Havoc in Tianzhu".Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to return to Shanghai, but took advantage of the fact that he happened to be in the capital, so he stopped by Guangguang Media Company to communicate with the other party about the upcoming announcement of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

As soon as we met, Vice President Li said politely to Lin Yuan: "Director Lin, we have already seen the finished film, you don't look like you are a director for the first time, and you finished filming a film in three months. Movies, and the quality is so good, it's really admirable!"

In fact, two or three months of shooting time is normal for general feature films, unless a movie like "Tang Detective" needs to be shot in various places.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said modestly: "Mr. Li, you are being polite. It's all due to the good cooperation of the crew. Almost all of them are indoor scenes, and the actors' acting skills are also online. I think three months is a bit long. "

After chatting about things unrelated to the movie for a while, Lin Yuan also got to the point, talking about the announcement of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Vice President Li seems to be very confident about the promotion of the film, and he directly assured: "Director Lin, don't worry about the promotion. Our Enlight Media is the second in terms of private media, and no one dares to say the first. Movies are also very important, and I will definitely try my best to promote this movie."

This is not that Vice President Li is bragging, but that Guangguang Media really has this strength.

There are more than 300 TV stations. It can be said that as long as there are people, Guangguang's promotional network can be spread everywhere. What's more, in recent years, the business of Guangguang Media has been developing rapidly. related news can be seen.

Lin Yuan also took this opportunity to express his thoughts: "President Li, I want the movie "The God of Medicine" to be released during the Spring Festival next year."

Hearing this, the expression on Vice President Li's face froze for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer Lin Yuan.

Enlight Media's movie schedule for next year's Spring Festival has basically been confirmed, and that is "A Good Show" directed and acted by Huang Bo.

The reason is very simple. After being stimulated by the movie "Mermaid", all major film companies have now realized that the film market during the Spring Festival is a piece of cake.
If you want to divide the cake into your own bowl as much as possible, you have to show corresponding strength.

The film that Wanda Pictures will release during the Spring Festival next year has been confirmed, and that is the film "Tang Detective 2".

We must know that "Tang Detective" can win a box office of more than one billion. As long as the sequel maintains the standard, and with the vigorous promotion of Wanda Pictures, it will not be a problem to hit the box office of 20 billion. Even if the quality of the movie is good, it will be a hit. 30 billion box office is not impossible.

In this case, Enlight Media definitely wants to put all the resources on one work.

Judging from the three films invested by Enlight Media, "A Good Show", "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Havoc in Tianzhu", "A Good Show" is undoubtedly the best choice.

One is that the cast is strong, and with Huang Bo's self-directed and self-acted works as gimmicks, the box office will definitely not be too low.

On the other hand, if Sightseeing Media promotes the movie "The God of Medicine", Lin Yuan's side will become more popular, and won't "Tang Detective 2" get a wave of traffic in vain?

After thinking about it, Vice President Li also said earnestly: "Director Lin, since the two blockbuster films "A Good Show" and "Tang Detective 2" that have been confirmed for the Spring Festival are both released on the first day of the new year, when the time comes It will definitely take away most of the traffic, so why don't you move up the schedule and release it around New Year's Day?"

In order to show the sincerity of their Enlight Media, Vice President Li did not forget to add something to Lin Yuan.

"At that time, we will arrange the promotion of the movie. As long as Director Lin can run over, you don't have to worry about it. The advertisements of the theaters will be contacted one by one by the resident distributors, that is, the offline posters of each city. We can also do it here. Arrange manpower"

The publicity of movies is now the traditional publicity methods of TV stations, paper media, Internet media, indoor and outdoor advertisements.

Don't worry about the TV station, this is Guangguang Media's strength. Although the paper media has not been paid much attention to, it doesn't cost much, and Guangguang Media can afford the money.

The Internet media is even simpler, hiring troopers and operating film-related topics. These things can be handled beautifully even if they are entrusted to Xitian Media, let alone Guangguang Media.

Of course, if the quality of the film is not good, no matter how much effort is put into the publicity, not many netizens are willing to buy it after it is released.

In terms of movie promotion, Lin Yuan can still trust Enlight Media, otherwise he wouldn't have come to talk to Vice President Li just after filming over there.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Leave the publicity to Mr. Li."

However, in the matter of movie scheduling, Enlight Media plays a much smaller role.

If these schedules are usually used, Enlight Media will have no problem even if it can fill Lin Yuan's film schedule, but the Spring Festival is different. If any movie that dares to be released during the Spring Festival does not have capital investment, Wanda Pictures will be used. Say, "Tang Detective 2" will have fewer films scheduled for Wanda Cinemas?
This obvious answer can be seen without thinking about it.

Of course, if the movie "The God of Medicine" is strong enough, in the face of the absolute box office, these theaters have no reason not to give "The God of Medicine" a higher number of films.

The industry is so cruel, everything is based on strength, and directors, actors, and movies without strength will not get better treatment.

This is unsolvable. Movie theaters want to make money, and if they don’t make money, they can’t talk about anything.

You must know that the movie "The Great Wall" invested one billion yuan, and the cost of promoting the film was three times that of "The Mermaid". Not to mention other films.

As an actor, Lin Yuan is an expert in making movies, but in terms of the film industry, Vice President Li of Enlight Media is an expert. Lin Yuan can only refer to her ideas.

"If it doesn't work, then the only thing we can do is to learn from Hollywood and hold more spot screenings. After the film critics and media are invited to try the screenings, we will hold a few more road shows in first- and second-tier cities, and invite the media and film critics. Theaters see how audiences respond to movies."

Vice President Li continued, "It's just that, everything depends on whether the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can make the audience buy it."

The implication is that if the movie quality is not enough
That's game over.

Although there are some screenings in China, they are different from Hollywood screenings. Domestic screenings are mostly a way of publicity, not a distribution strategy. They spend money to invite media and film critics to come, just to promote the movie. As for The real word-of-mouth of the movie can only be known by the audience after watching it in the movie theater.

Hollywood's spot screenings are for distribution services, not for publicity, but more for collecting audience feedback, giving feedback to distribution companies and theaters, and adjusting distribution strategies and corresponding audiences.

Of course, there is still a problem with domestic on-demand screenings, that is, it is difficult to guarantee that the audience will not reveal the plot of the movie after watching the movie in advance. This is absolutely intolerable for a movie that has not yet been released.

Lin Yuan thought for a while and agreed directly.

He has enough confidence in the movie he made. If there is any movie that can break the box office record of the movie "Mermaid", it must be the movie "The God of Medicine".

With the quality of the movie guaranteed, Lin Yuan definitely wants to fight for a bigger stage for this movie, and he must release the movie during the Spring Festival!
The specific publicity plan will be formulated by Guangguang Media, and Lin Yuan has to go back to prepare for the filming of the movie "Tang Detective 2", so he didn't stay here much.

After Lin Yuan left, Vice President Li also reported to Wang Changtian that Lin Yuan wanted to release "The God of Medicine" during the Spring Festival, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Wang, what do you think of the movie "The God of Medicine"?" Can it be released in the Spring Festival file?"

Wang Changtian smiled, and his words were full of confidence: "Don't worry, has this kid set too few records at the box office? If anyone can break the domestic box office record now, I'm sure that this person must be Lin Yuan , since they have made the film, we will leave the publicity to us!"
