Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 376 Let the main theme movie reach the peak of business in advance
"Every year, there are always a few films that are in trouble. I asked my father about the problems. My father said: Film is the only art that can enter the university. It is the only art that can enter, so it is troublesome!"

This passage was said by Zhong Dianfu, the father of the writer Ah Cheng, the most important literary critic and esthetician in Huaguo.

Ah Cheng excerpted the original words, and deliberately explained the lofty and troubles of film art in an article for the world.

"The Founding of an Army" is an example and a typical example of such a high-level internal movie viewing event. The chief executives put aside their busy work to watch the movie in person, and naturally it is not for the sake of formality.

There are sons and daughters in the rivers and lakes, but there are no old friends in the mountains and rivers!
Whether it is for inheritance or to commemorate the older generation of revolutionaries, the main theme movies can always get the attention of the above.

With a respectful expression, Fang Ziheng spoke eloquently, introducing the situation of the film and the shooting process to the five directors in detail, occasionally adding a sentence or two of interesting things that happened to the crew.

The five chiefs listened very carefully, smiling from time to time, and would ask questions aloud when they encountered interesting questions, telling Fang Ziheng not to worry, and to speak slowly.

Three hours flew by.

After the screening of "The Founding of the Army" ended, applause rang out, and several chiefs stood up at the same time, applauding while showing satisfaction.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"Not bad, not bad, the movie was shot very well!"

One of the chiefs had deep eyes and expressed emotion, as if recalling the eventful years of that era.

The other four nodded slightly, showing their approval for the film.

Han Dong observed the expression, his heart was relieved, he saw the opportunity and took two steps forward, and said with a humble face: "The chief is too much, please criticize and rectify."

"The standard of the movie is not bad, let's release it on National Day!" A chief executive made a final decision and revealed the issue of follow-up review.

Fang Ziheng was overjoyed, knowing the weight of this sentence.

The chief said that the follow-up review will be almost trouble-free, and only need to fine-tune some details.

Han Dong also showed a smile, his attitude was still respectful, and he reported the announcement of the movie to the chiefs one by one.

After the Jianguo trilogy was completed, he had submitted an almost perfect answer sheet to his superiors, and he was really relieved.

Soon.

The five chiefs left one after another, shaking hands with Chairman Han, Chen Yu, Fang Ziheng, and Kang Pei before leaving.

When it was Fang Ziheng's turn, a chief patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile: "Xiao Fang, I've heard your name before, you are very good, work hard!"

"Please don't worry, chief, I will continue to work hard!" Fang Ziheng puffed out his chest and responded loudly.

The elevator doors closed.

The corridor was suddenly quiet, and several relieved voices sounded one after another.

call..
call..
After the chief left, Fang Ziheng and the others finally landed on the ground, as if a big rock had been lifted, with great ease.

Director Han was the first to come back to his senses, took off his glasses, rubbed the center of his brows, and said quietly: "Let's go, let's discuss the specific release time of the movie and the steps to announce it!"

"That's right, since the chief has explained it, we must take it seriously, discuss it carefully, and choose the best time to release it."

Kang Pei took the opportunity and said with a bit of joy.

Today's encounter, for him, Han Dong, and Chen Yu, can be called one of the most important events in their careers.

It can be summed up as Jane's happiness is coming and her fortune is soaring!

It's the same with Fang Ziheng. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was a face saint in the theater for three hours just now.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, with a bit of excitement and excitement in their brows. They didn't go to Kang Pei's office, but turned around and walked towards the screening room tacitly.

A staff member has long been waiting at the outer door, sending out several forms for the release of movies in September.

Fang Ziheng took a copy, and walked into the screening room while looking down.

On the table, there are 31 movies densely arranged, scaring people to death!

Sept. 9: City Lights of Psychological Crime.

September 9: "Elysium".

September 9: "Hua Han".

September 9: "Super Agent."

Sept. 9: Fantastic.

September 9: "Stealing Sword 30 Hours".

September 9: "Escape from Birth 30D".

September 9: "Bat Villa."

Although there are many movies that hit the street in one round, such a dense schedule arrangement makes people speechless.

The booming environment of Chinese-language films has attracted countless investors to rush into the film market, wanting to take advantage of the hot market to make money.

Fang Ziheng's gaze was the first to look at "City Lights of Psychological Crime", which is a movie controlled by Hengyu Media, directed by Sang Lin, starring Zhang Yi and Li Qin.

In the previous life, the original version starred Deng Chao and Blind Sister Shishi. The box office was not high, and it was not well received.

In this life, under the name of Hengyu Media's production and Fang Ziheng's supervision, it will be more popular in the market and audience friends.

Afterwards, he turned his attention to "Di Renjie: Dragon King, God's Capital" directed by Xu Ke, which is controlled by Huayi and participated by Hengyu.

For this movie, the script has been refined by Hengyu Literature's editorial department and reviewed by him, and the finished film is more than a grade higher than the previous life.

Excessive special effects in the movie were also banned, and like "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate", it was completely checked by Tiangong Yicai.

Undoubtedly, the biggest rival after the release of "The Founding of an Army" is the martial arts detective drama "Dragon King of Shendu".

Fang Ziheng thought for a moment, raised the A4 paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "Director Han, Ju Kang, Brother Yu, I personally think that it is better for "The Founding of an Army" to be released on the 25th to 27th, which is better than "The God of Di Renjie." "Dragon King" is two days earlier, taking the first-mover advantage!"

""The Dragon King of God Capital" is the sequel to the martial arts movie directed by Mr. Xu, right?"

Han Dong smiled slightly when he heard the words, put on his glasses again, and sat on the sofa while looking at the movie form in his hand.

Kang Xun also had a twinkle in his eyes, secretly calculating the release time of the two movies and considering Fang Ziheng's proposal.

When two movies with big selling potential compete in the arena, the one with the first-mover advantage tends to achieve better results when the quality level is not bad.

There is no doubt about this!

Chen Yu indicated to a young lady who came in to make tea, then flicked the A4 paper with his fingers, and said with a little worry: ""The Dragon King of the Gods" has the support of the previous work, and with the skill of Mr. Xu, the movie has a lot of There is a high chance of a big explosion."

"If it is only two or three days earlier, I am afraid it will be difficult to increase the first-mover advantage. I think it is better to have a few more days."

As soon as these words came out, Han Dong and Kang Pei frowned, and stared at Fang Ziheng strangely.

That means, let's see, help people refine the script, now the left hand hits the right hand!
Fang Ziheng kept smiling wryly, and he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

Xu Ke's last film "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" hit 1 million hits, making it a huge hit, known as the No. [-] martial arts movie.

It is rumored that the total box office of "Di Renjie, the Dragon King of the Gods" will be even higher, and it is expected to hit the 10 billion club.

When "The Founding of an Army" meets head-on, it must be a fight between dragons and tigers.

It is not unreasonable for Chen Yu to propose an early release to perfectly increase the first-mover advantage.

But Fang Ziheng doesn't think so. With the current market capacity, not to mention a few hot schedules, even in normal times, he can eat two movies.

In the arena, you have your own way of playing in the arena!

"Brother Yu, there are a lot of people and audiences on National Day. It is more than enough to accommodate two movies. Two to three days in advance is enough."

"A war movie with the main theme, a martial arts movie, the hype is over, it's pretty good whoever fights!"

Fang Ziheng raised his voice and spoke with the aura of an international director, bursting with confidence.

Seeing his invincible demeanor, the three of them were slightly taken aback.

They almost forgot!

The young man in front of him has never been defeated!
Han Dong's eyes narrowed, he slapped his thigh, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Alright, since you, the chief director, have confidence, let "The Founding of an Army" and "The Dragon King of God" meet and see if it's them Your sword is sharp, but our gunfire is as majestic as it is!
While speaking, he also exudes aura, showing the posture of a mountain eagle who is a big man in Chinese movies.

"It's a deal, "The Founding of an Army" will be released on September 9!"

"Well, it's September 9th!"

In a few words, everyone was infected by Fang Ziheng's confidence, and quickly set the movie's schedule.

8 month 29 number.

In the last week of the summer vacation, the smoke hanging over the film market cleared, and the heat gradually declined.

This week, the new domestic film "The Stolen Five Years" performed well.

从8月29号开画到9月4号，连续七天占据排片率第一位，力压《怪兽大学》、《侏罗纪公园》3D版等进口片。

It earned 6600 million in the first four days, breaking into the top three at the box office last week.

The film is directed by Hong Kong director Huang Zhenzhen, starring Bai Baihe and Zhang Xiaoquan, and tells the love story of a girl who has lost her memory.

According to incomplete statistics, as of this Tuesday, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 8000 million, and it is expected to break through the [-] million mark this week.

The appearance of a little dark horse has attracted the attention of many filmmakers and people who eat melons.

9 month 5 number.

Controlled by Hengyu Media Group and directed by Sang Lin, "Psychological Crime: City Lights" was released.

This is a high-quality case-solving movie with a suspenseful atmosphere. Once it was released, it attracted a large number of audiences who like suspense dramas.

The thrilling plot and the slightly scary pictures made the audience feel like a movie.

The film lived up to expectations. On the day of its release, it won 39 million box office with 5100% of the national average film schedule, and won the single-day box office champion in one fell swoop.

On the second day, the box office dropped slightly to 4860 million.

On the third day, the filming volume increased to 43%, and the single-day box office broke through 5000 million again.

The stable box office trend has made many filmmakers envious.

Hengyu Media, another high-quality film was born.

With the subsequent release of additional promotional resources, "City Lights of Psychological Crime" has made persistent efforts, showing super endurance.

On September 9, September 8, and September 9, they obtained 9 million, 9 million, and 10 million respectively.

In the six days of the first weekend, the total box office was 2.8 million, which made it a strong winner of the weekly box office in the new week.

On September 9, the box office data for the new week came out.

"City Lights of Psychological Crime" is impressively occupying the top spot.

"The Stolen Five Years" ranked second, with a reported receipt of 8415 million for seven days this week, with a total box office of 1.4 million.

No.3 "Elysium", released for five days, with a box office of 7200 million in the first weekend.

No.4 "The Great Gatsby", this week won 3000 million box office, and the total box office is worth more than 5000 million.
No.5 "Jurassic Park 3D", with a weekly box office of 2000 million and a total box office of 3.03 million.

No.6 "Monsters University" has a weekly box office of 1500 million and a total box office of 1.8 million.

Of the three imported films, one hit the street, and two had exhausted their potential and were weak in combat effectiveness.

at the same time.

"Lost in Hong Kong", which was released for 40 days, was low-key and low-key, with a total box office of 17 billion, surpassing "The Great Wall" and ranking first in Chinese film history.

Lu Chuan's "Seven Star Lu Wang" was also drawn together, with a total box office of 5.6 million, not even a fraction of "Hong Kong Ji".

When the "Seven Star Lu Wang" project was established, it was announced that the production budget was 3 million, but the 3 million was not spent, and there were 4000 to [-] million left.

After the film was released, Alibaba Pictures added an additional 7000 million for publicity and distribution, claiming that the cost of publicity and distribution was [-] million.

After this wave, Ali Pictures lost money to grandma's house, and even lost their underwear.

It is said that only 20 days after the movie was released, Zhang Qiang proposed to Fan Luyuan to terminate the follow-up director contract with Lu Chuan and let him pack up and leave.

I don't know if he's gone or not, but on Alibaba Pictures' official website, Lu Chuan's name is indeed missing in the signed director column, only Zhao Yanzi and a few other directors.

After hearing the news, Fang Ziheng was in an unusually happy mood, as if drinking a bottle of iced soda in the dog days.

He never drinks at home, he specially called Concubine Lin and Andy to leave the palace, together with Zeng Li, they had a few drinks together at night.

After this campaign, Brother Lu's reputation was completely ruined, and he couldn't even think about directing a movie again in three or five years.

Cool!
So cool!
9 month 12 number.

"The Founding of an Army" started publicity, officially released the finalized files to the outside world, and entered the national theaters on September 9.

According to Fang Ziheng and Han Dong's discussion, the film will be divided into three promotional steps to completely encircle and suppress "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King".

The first step: both online and offline are deployed, and the popularity of the movie is greatly bombarded, pushing "The Founding of the Army" to thousands of households across the country.

Step 9: Starting from September 18, free on-demand screenings will be held in seven prestigious universities across the country, and the movie will be pushed to college students.

This step is Fang Ziheng's intentional idea to gradually enhance the senses of the main theme movie among college students.

The third step, on the evening of September 9th, the movie premiered on 25 evening satellite TV news across the country, boosting the box office on the first day and the box office on the next day.

Its ultimate goal is to let the movie build a super high reputation during the National Day period one week after its release.

As a result, it triggered a movie-watching frenzy and detonated the National Day file in one fell swoop.

This time, both Hengyu and China Film are ready to go all out.

Test the waters in advance, and strive to send the main theme movie to the peak of business as soon as possible.

　Recommend a new work by nine groups.

　　"Fairy, put down the knife first"

　　In the 360th year of Tianyuan, there was a demon who bullied men and women, bullied others, and did all kinds of evil. Man and God were all angry, and wanted to turn the world into a purgatory.

　　Good news: With the development of the plot, after a few years, the Son of Destiny will lead the confidante to kill the devil.

　　Bad news: Now... I'm the boss...
