Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 427

Lu Chen stayed in his wife's office for two hours.

As for why he dared to stay for so long.

The reason is very simple, that is, Lu Chen is sure that no one will come into Liu Shishi's office to disturb him.

However, stay for two hours,

Lu Chen really didn't do anything bad, he just talked to his wife.

Take a nap by the way.

Do not misunderstand,
Vegetarian, and still sleeping alone.

two hours later.

Lu Chen walked out of the office with a sleepy look on his face. The employees around him had long been familiar with it. The boss often went to the boss's office to take a nap, and everyone was used to it.

Nap is over.

Lu Chen returned to his office. Although Zeng Jia was not there, it had no effect on Lu Chen.

Last time, Zeng Jia left.

Lu Chen could only take over her job.

This time, there is also Zhao Mao.

Even without Zhao Mao, wouldn't there still be so many senior executives in the company?

Therefore, it was not his turn to worry.

of course.

As the boss, it is impossible for Lu Chen to ignore everything, as he has to make up his mind on many things.

Like, just got back to the office.

Zhao Mao came to his office to report on the work, but it was not a big deal, it was just some minor problems.

If Zeng Jia was here before, she would handle it by herself, but now she is not here, and Lu Chen didn't give Zhao Mao the problem to handle by herself.
Therefore, Zhao Mao would come to him for many small problems.

After signing various documents, Lu Chen saw Zhao Mao's hesitation, so he asked, "What's the matter, is there anything else?"

Zhao Mao said, "Boss, the summer vacation..."

"Have the Hollywood Big Six attacked us?"

Zhao Mao was stunned for a moment.

Immediately said: "Well, how could they do anything to us, but even though they didn't do anything, they have already isolated our company just by forming an alliance. Now many projects in Hollywood have been affected, but they should It will not be absolutely. So there has been no further deterioration, and our trouble this time comes from the country..."

"Are you talking about arranging the film?" Zhao Ma was stunned again, and when Lu Chen saw Zhao Ma's expression, he knew that he had guessed right, and still couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I have already prepared myself mentally. In any case, after so many years of dominance, I can get 20.00% of the [-]th film over there, and they must be much more here."

"Yes."

Zhao Mao said with a serious expression: "Except for our Jinchan Cinemas in China, none of the other theaters in China have given more than 40.00% of the screenings. Moreover, I am a little worried that they will trip us up."

"Troubleshooting?"

This time it was Lu Chen who was stunned: "You mean the top five in the country will attack us? No way, they dare to attack us at this time, and the saliva of netizens can drown them."

"They won't get there."

Zhao Mao said solemnly: "We can all set up our own companies in Hollywood, and they must be able to hold some entertainment companies here as well."

"You mean these entertainment companies will make trouble for us?"

"Yes."

Zhao Mao said with a serious expression: "A powerful director has announced that he will join the summer file."

"Is the news accurate?"

Was Lu Chen stunned this time? Although he wasn't afraid, the other party was a powerful director anyway, and the market was quite good to them.

How should I put it, if they release a new film, the screening rate of "Jurassic Park" will definitely be compressed again.

"That's it."

Zhao Mao said solemnly: "A total of two powerful directors have announced that they will join the summer file. One of them is Yin Chao. His movie is called "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms". The investment is huge and the lineup is quite gorgeous. One is Dai Jun from Huasheng Pictures, the only authoritative female director whose film is a sci-fi genre called "Star Gate."

Lu Chen smiled.

So this is the summer file!
The strong... Strong ass.

Although Lu Chen has no right to prevent other people from showing it in the summer, they chose to announce it at this time because they didn't announce it sooner or later.

Obviously it was aimed at him.

"What about the specific schedule?"

There was a smile on Lu Chen's face: "You won't be separated from us for a day or two?"

"That's it." Zhao Mao's heart is not as big as Lu Chen's, she really can't laugh, she is more worried now: "Now that these two films are involved, plus some other ordinary films, the pressure of film scheduling It must be big."

Lu Chen nodded, this is the truth.

At the same time, Lu Chen was also sighing.

It seems that the national teacher really isn't what it used to be? !
It was agreed to show him a domestic director, but he didn't expect someone to be so open-minded.

This is not taking the national teacher seriously, and at the same time not taking himself seriously.

"Since this is the case, then you don't have to keep your hands." Lu Chen's eyes suddenly showed a murderous look: "Just carry through to the end, and tell Luo Zhang and Zeng Lai to keep an eye on the artists of these two film companies. No matter what method they use, in the next six months, I don't want to see artists under the two companies appear on the screen. When necessary, Tang Lei and Zhao Xiaodi can also participate in the competition, even Shi Shi ...You can even contact Sihuadan, they owe us so much, and they should pay it back."

After a pause, Lu Chen continued.

"Also, inform Dong Jie and keep an eye on all the TV projects of the two entertainment companies. If they play one, we will arrange two to fight with them. If they don't hurt them, they really think we are Very nice to talk about."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was really angry. He really didn't take him seriously.

They must be touching Lu Chen, so I have nothing to say.

If he had said ahead of time that the movie would be put in this schedule, then Lu Chen would definitely have nothing to say, but now that the summer schedule is about to enter, they suddenly want to add it.

Added without warning.

This is a bit too much.

"and also."

Zhao Miao continued: "Miaoyan and several movie ticketing software in China have jointly conducted a fan survey and ranked the expectations of all the movies in the summer season, and the results of this ranking will definitely affect the final film scheduling results. .”

"It seems that these ticketing software can't do anything about it. In order not to offend anyone, they adopted this trick...By the way, what about the rankings?"

"Let's see for yourself. All major ticketing software websites can vote with real names. Now the number of real-name voters has exceeded 8000 million. The enthusiasm of netizens to participate can be said to be very high. It can even be said that it is a rare scene in a century. Of course, Among them, there must be quite a few people who simply join in the fun... But, whether they are joining in the fun or not, such a scene is definitely a spectacle in the history of film."

Lu Chen also used the computer to open Meow Eyes.

As a large film entertainment company, Miaoyan has been working on the movie ticketing software, and Miaoyan Ticketing is the ticketing software developed by them.

Miaoyan can be said to be one of the most well-known software among all the software that sells movie tickets.

Lu Chen entered Miaoyan's webpage skillfully.

Lu Chen immediately saw the ranking of the expected value of the new movie that will be released in the summer. The No. 1 movie is undoubtedly Lu Chen's "Jurassic Park".

"Jurassic Park" doesn't say anything else, it's just a novel theme.

It will be able to attract countless netizens, plus Lu Chen's strength is there, this is not the first time Lu Chen has arranged a monster movie, and the lingering prestige of Donkey Kong is still there.

So, for Jurassic Park.

The expectations of netizens can be said to be very high.

The expected value of the movie directly exceeded more than 3 million.

Lu Chen didn't know how the expected value was cast. In short, this data is very bluffing, that's right, the person who made such a questionnaire.

Quite business-minded.

Of course, it is also possible that these ticketing software do not want to offend Lu Chen and the others.

Push the pot out directly.

Let the audience decide how many films are scheduled, in this case, you should have nothing to say.

Lu Chen turned his gaze to No.2's body.

No.2: "Transformers 5".

Humans and Autobots will face a difficult battle. Optimus Prime believes that human beings destroyed their homeland. After being brainwashed and blackened, he decides to exterminate human beings to complete the salvation. After losing control, he fights with Bumblebee.Optimus Prime searches for its ruler Quintesque in space, and it also sends bounty hunters to imprison and hunt for the leader, and Optimus Prime will encounter the super villain Universe Emperor on the way.Humans, led by Cade, will face the upcoming threat together with the robot dinosaurs.

The expected value of the movie is more than 2000 million.

To be honest, such expectations are not surprising.

The spectacular scene of "Transformers 4" sweeping the global box office seems to be still yesterday, but now the fifth part of the "Transformers" series is about to be released globally.

As a gathering place for "Transformers" fans, Huaguo has an immeasurably large market.

and so.

Who will be responsible for the publicity and distribution of this super IP in Huaguo has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Probably because of this,
Huasheng chose to go to the opposite side of Jiaxing Media. Yes, Huasheng Pictures is the entertainment company that worked on the promotion of "Transformers 5" in China.

be honest.

For the first time in the past three months, many high-quality imported films landed in Huaguo theaters.

This also makes many fans look forward to the upcoming Hollywood blockbusters in the summer.

Therefore, once the news of the signing of "Transformers 5" was released, it caused heated discussions among movie fans.

Huasheng became Huaguo's exclusive partner of "Transformers 5", and reached a consensus with Paramount on the new film and television cooperation model of "Transformers 5", and jointly launched a new chapter of interconnection and win-win cooperation.

and so.

In this way, Huasheng walked across from Jiaxing Media.

be honest.

If they only announced to each other, Lu Chen would not be so angry, but in addition to announcing to each other, they also arranged a movie to participate in the ring,
That's a bit too much.

The third expected value is "Star Gate" arranged by them.

This movie is Dai Jun's masterpiece, and the director Dai Da said that the movie will definitely open the door to science fiction movies in Huaguo.

After wiping, he said, "I'm sorry, I might want to steal Director Lu's limelight! I hope Director Lu won't see you."

Yes, at the end, she also mentioned Lu Chen. After all, there was a lot of noise about the cooperation between Lu Chen and Guo Fan before, saying that the door of science fiction movies in Huaguo will be opened in the hands of the two. Such enthusiasm, No need for nothing.

I hope you don't cry then.

This is Lu Chen's response after watching the trailer of "Star Gate".

Of course, Lu Chen didn't send out this response. Sending it out at this time will most likely cause a commotion for himself.

Beating the dog in the water is the most correct choice.

She was thinking of bragging, she bragging her, anyway, standing too high, in addition to looking farther, but also more painful to fall.

The other party has calmed down.

This is what Lu Chen said, and it is useless for anyone to come.

Kill chickens to scare monkeys, kill one to scare others, to scare others... This kind of method still has to be used sometimes, Lu Chen is very upset about this wave, so he will definitely hit hard.

Next in the fourth place is "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".

This is a bit of a surprise.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the rankings of "Pirate 5" and "Alien" should not be too bad.

I didn't expect these two to be ranked last!
Such a result directly caught many people off guard, and their first reaction was to fake the meowing position.

However, the thought was fleeting and then disappeared.

No need,
There is no need for Meowyan to do this. If you want to do this, what kind of investigation is there...

Just quietly arrange the filming of these movies.

therefore.

The final conclusion is: the expectations of these two films are indeed the lowest.

Then the problem is coming.

Why Are Alien and Pirates 5 Expectations So Low?

Let's talk about "Alien" first.

"Alien", just by the name, it is an imported thriller with a clear "dark" attribute.

The domestic market for thrillers is not very good.In other words, it is difficult for such a film to open up the domestic market. What the previous few films failed to do, let alone this one.

So, its expectations are not very high.

Even today, when imported films account for "half" of the mainland box office, it is not as easy for this type of film to open the mainland market as imagined.

The "horror" painting style of the "Alien" series alone can directly scare away many mainland audiences.

In 1979, "Alien" directed by Ridley was released. In addition to the small box office miracle, the most successful point of the film is the terrifying creature "Alien".

So far, the movie "Alien" has been attributed to a model of space thrillers, and the image of "Alien" is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although the subsequent sequels were mixed, the horror style of the "Alien" series is still a topic that many fans talk about.

As the sixth work in the series, "Alien" still perfectly presents the most terrifying monster in the history of human movies to the audience.

This movie was directly upgraded to the R18 restriction level, which means that the bloody horror index of the movie has been further upgraded, bringing deeper fear to the audience in terms of art design, monster modeling, and movie special effects.

"Prometheus" is the first time the series has met mainland fans. When it was released in the mainland in 2012, it won several small box office goals.

"Alien" is the sequel to "Prometheus" and the second part of the prequel trilogy of the "Alien" series. The previous work is there, and this movie should not be worse.

This is the conclusion given by most movie fans.At least above the passing line.

This is why the expectation value of "Alien" is even higher than that of "Pirate 5".

But as a space thriller, the film has a certain "ceiling" in terms of volume released in the mainland.

Its movie genre does not have much advantage in being released in the mainland. The box office trend of the previously released "Alien Awakening" and "The New Mummy" is difficult to satisfy the audience. Even "A Star Wars Story: Rogue One" "Dark "The theme also encountered acclimatization in the mainland.

In today's mainland film market, although imported films have frequently become popular, they still have a good impression of family carnival and blockbuster visual effects.

Although the competitors of "Alien" are not strong, compared with DC's "Wonder Woman" or even Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", the appeal to ordinary movie fans has not reached the level of one-sidedness.

To a certain extent, the type of film determines the box office trend of the film's release in the mainland, and the limitations of the audience are destined to prevent it from being a big hit in the mainland.

Because the previous "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" was released in the Mainland and won a box office of [-] billion, so many fans have long looked forward to "Alien: Covenant".

But the former is obviously going further and further on the road of "popcorn", and because of its strong IP appeal, under the banner of "end" feelings, it naturally makes its box office trend all the way up.

"Alien: Covenant" still focuses on the horror and horror style of painting. As an important layout in the series, this film obviously does not have the box office explosive power of "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter".

In addition, there is another reason.

That is, "Alien" must be cut.

Moreover, it is still a large cut, such a cut will definitely greatly dispel the enthusiasm of the audience.

Definitely.

If the bloody style wants to be released in China, deletion is certain.

And for some reason.

"Alien" is definitely going to be cut down.

Lu Chen, who is a representative of Chinese films, is about to be bullied, and the people above will definitely help him within a reasonable range.Therefore, the deletion of "Alien" cannot be underestimated.

In fact, it is not uncommon for some imported films with "restricted" attributes to be deleted after entering the mainland.

"Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" cut 7 minutes, "Wolverine 3" cut 14 minutes, "Wrestle!"Dad" cut 21 minutes, and "The Lost City of Z" cut 17 minutes.

Except for "Let's Wrestle!", which can be called a "miracle" at the box office.Except for "Dad", the box office trends of other films have been affected by the deletion to varying degrees.

Even for "Wolverine 3", which "wins with feelings", its deletion has caused the film's box office to collapse.

Therefore, before the filming of "Alien" was launched in the mainland, the audience had already been "vaccinated" by its substantial deletion.

For a space thriller that relies on styling and visual effects to attract audiences, such deletions will definitely cause a lot of damage, and to a certain extent affect the enthusiasm of movie fans.
