Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots
Chapter 82 "Transformers" is scheduled to be released, scaring opponents and running away
Chapter 82 "Transformers" is scheduled to be released, scaring opponents and running away
"Xiaowen, what did you just say?"
"Boss, Huashi Media has already negotiated with the three major theater chains in North America. AMC, Regal, and Cinemark will give us a certain scale of film scheduling support for "Transformers." Once North America agrees, Then there should be no problems in Europe, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other regions, and Huashi Media is also actively communicating.
In addition, Huashi Media asked us when we can give them the source of the film for review? "
Wen Ruohan reported the matter to the boss in detail.
This matter is related to the simultaneous global release of "Transformers", and the boss attaches great importance to it, so Wen Ruohan returned to the boss's villa from the company today, and the first thing he did was to report this to the boss.
Now Wen Ruohan works for the boss in the company during the day.
After get off work, go to the boss's villa and continue to work for the boss.
It is true that it is a worker.
The boss even allowed himself to live in his big villa for the convenience of switching between his assistant and housekeeper. The boss directly arranged a room for him.
"That's a good thing."
After Xu Nuo learned that Huashi Media had negotiated a theatrical chain, the simultaneous global release seemed to be basically stable: "I haven't edited the finished film yet, it seems that I have to hurry up."
After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he continued to work.
"Oh, then I'll cook for the boss."
Wen Ruohan saw that the boss was busy using artificial intelligence Guan Ju to assist in the post-production of "Transformers", so he didn't bother the boss, turned around and went upstairs to the kitchen to cook for the boss.
Ever since the boss let her live in this villa, Wen Ruohan took on the job of washing and cooking for the boss.
Every morning, she would go shopping first, and then go to work in the company.
If there is no major event in the company and you need to go there by yourself, then Wen Ruohan will stay in the villa and wait for the boss's orders at any time.
If the boss really has nothing to do for him, then Wen Ruohan only needs to cook.
On Xu Nuo's side, he devoted himself to the post-production, and by accident, more than an hour passed, until the butler Wen Ruohan came to call him twice, and Xu Nuo explained to Guan Ju some things he could do alone. After completing the later tasks, he got up and went to eat.
For the next few days, Xu Nuo was basically in this state.
After all, completing the post-production of "Transformers" is Xu Nuo's most important task at present. Apart from eating, drinking, sleeping and resting, Xu Nuo almost always stays in his basement floor.
And that's it, another week later.
Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to sort out all the plot clips of "Transformers" that had been produced and edited, and then edited these plot clips uniformly, forming a timeline of nearly two and a half hours.
From the dizzy attack on the human military base at the beginning, to the hero and his father going to the second-hand car market to buy the Bumblebee.
Then the Department of Science and Technology convened top computer experts across the country to try to crack the signal information of the Decepticons, and opened the branch line of the hacker duo.
And Miluan sneaked into the core server of the Science and Technology Department, and obtained information about the male protagonist and the pair of glasses.
Then the main plot line of the hero and heroine began to advance.
Then the battle in the desert village was wonderfully displayed. This section was accompanied by a piece of music with a strong sense of rhythm. It can be said that the music perfectly integrated the mobilization of the human air force and the firepower strike. I can't help but feel excited, and may even have an urge to become a soldier.
It is simply a large-scale muscle show scene and a military recruitment promotional video.
This is exactly the effect that Colonel Luo Wei and the others want. In the movie "Transformers", the sign of War Terror Bureau is hung.
Then the plot continued to progress until the roadblock found the hero for the first time and asked where the glasses were. The battle between the bumblebee and the roadblock was also very exciting.
Among them, the heroine showed her brave side and beat the Decepticons to the bum.
After this paragraph is over, the male protagonist and the female protagonist boarded the car of Bumblebee. When passing through the tunnel, Bumblebee scanned and replaced his old Changan car with a newest Changan univ that happened to pass by.
Then Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ambulance, Jazz and other Autobots descended on the earth, joined Bumblebee, and met with the hero and heroine for the first time, explaining a series of reasons such as Cybertron and Tinder.
After the male protagonist knew about it, he took Optimus Prime and the others to the house to look for the pair of glasses.
At this time, the domestic secret service came to investigate the Transformers. Since the secret service didn't know that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were Autobots, they thought they were the same as the Decepticons, so there were misunderstandings and conflicts. .
But soon such misunderstanding and conflict were resolved, and the part where Bumblebee was captured was naturally edited and deleted by Xu Nuo.
On the Decepticon side, Starscream rushed over from the United States after learning that his elder brother Megatron had a secret base in China, and then had his first confrontation with the Veyron fighter jet over a certain sea area. .
In this way, the hacker duo, the task force played by Xiong Li, the male and female protagonists and the Autobots, as well as the Science and Technology Agency, the Secret Service, and the Decepticons intertwined and advanced.
Finally came the battle in Yuzhou City.
For more than two hours, Xu Nuo arranged the rhythm of the plot just right.
It is worth mentioning that Guan Ju is responsible for the dubbing of every Autobot and Decepticon character. It is not too easy for Guan Ju to have all kinds of voice lines.
What Xu Nuo is most satisfied with is brother Zhuzi's thick and steady voice with kindness, which can be said to be perfectly restored by Guan Ju.
If one day Xu Nuo gets tired of listening to Guan Ju's Yujie's voice, then he can let Guan Ju use Brother Zhuzi's voice to communicate with him.
In addition to the Chinese dubbing, the entire "Transformers" Guan Ju also has an English dubbing.
After all, "Transformers" will not only be released in China this time, but will be released globally simultaneously. Overseas regions will provide Mandarin and English versions to Huashi Media, which is responsible for distribution.
Just like when a Hollywood movie is imported into China, there will be an English version and a Mandarin version.
This time Xu Nuo's "Transformers" has gone abroad and is aimed at overseas markets. There are also two versions of this, the Mandarin version is the main one, and the English version is supplemented.
In addition to the important factors such as transformation effects and battle scenes in "Transformers", there is another factor that is also very important.
That's the soundtrack!
A good soundtrack can make a movie more emotionally appealing.
As for the soundtrack of the original version of "Transformers", Xu Nuo is really not so awesome that he can remember all of it, and there is no need to use the original soundtrack.
Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to tell her where and what kind of emotion needs to be rendered according to the plot progress of the movie, and then Guan Ju composed the soundtrack by himself.
Just like the air force attack in the desert village, Xu Nuo told Guan Ju that this section needs to have a strong sense of rhythm and match the scene of various aircraft of the air force. After listening to the exciting background music.
So Guan Ju created a few songs based on Xu Nuo's intentions, and Xu Nuo chose the one he was most satisfied with, not to mention, the soundtrack plus the picture, it really has the feeling of blood boiling.
Finally, there is the theme song of "Transformers".
After some consideration, Xu Nuo decided to use Linkin Park's "What I Do" as the theme song.
Because the theme song of Linkin Park matches "Transformers" too well, and Xu Nuo himself also likes the three theme songs of Transformation [-], Transformation [-] and Transformation [-].
As we all know, there are only three Transformers.
Another reason for choosing the original theme song is that Xu Nuo can sing these three theme songs completely.
However, even with the original theme song of Linkin Park, Xu Nuo did not copy it directly. For this song "What I've Done", Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to fill in the lyrics in Mandarin according to the melody.
In this way, under the hard work of more than [-] crew members led by Xu Nuo, after Xu Nuo and Guan Ju completed all the post-production together, a complete "Transformers" film was finally born.
After completing the post-production of "Transformers", Xu Nuo immediately sent the film to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review.
At the same time, it was also given to Huashi Media.
General Administration of Radio, Film and Television Building.
In a screening room, several reviewers are attentively reviewing the film "Transformers" submitted by Real Media.
Naturally, they have heard of this movie.
I didn't expect Real Media to produce "Transformers" so quickly, and the quality of the feature film is not bad. Compared with Hollywood's commercial popcorn movies, it is at the top level.
"Unexpectedly, we can produce such a top-notch popcorn commercial movie in China."
"Otherwise, that director Xu Nuo is amazing."
"When I saw this film sent in for review, I was stunned. Didn't it just say it was going to be filmed last year, and now it's all done?"
"Me too, it's too fast."
"This special effect is too real, I can't tell the difference when I watch it."
"There are so many military shots in this film, I'm afraid it needs to be marked."
"Don't worry about it, don't you know that the Science and Technology Agency, the military, and the city government building in Yuzhou have all greeted us?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I'm sorry I committed an occupational disease just now. I wanted to mark these shots when I saw them."
"I feel that the box office of this film will definitely not be low!"
For a film, apart from the insiders of the producer, the first person who can see a finished film is the reviewer of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
The review of "Transformers" can be said to be quite fast.
There is no way, the leader said that the review of this film must be fast and accurate.
Therefore, the review period for a film was originally [-] working days, but on the day "Transformers" was submitted, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television immediately arranged for a review team to review it.
After the review team has finished the review, make a review report and submit it to the leader.
It took only two days to complete a set of procedures.
The people at SARFT naturally understood that behind the movie "Transformers" is not just a simple real media.
The Science and Technology Department, the Yuzhou City Government Building, and Colonel Luo Wei have all greeted him.
Otherwise, a large number of fighter jets and aircraft carrier fleets can be used in the film. With such a strong background, even if the SARFT wants to trip this film, it has to weigh it carefully.
Besides, this is a rare domestic sci-fi commercial blockbuster for us, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will naturally give us strong support.
Therefore, this time the SARFT's review and the issuance of the public release license are at the speed of light, which is much, much faster than "Terminator".
"Boss, the SARFT's review has passed, and the dragon badge has been issued. This is too fast!"
Inside the Nanshan Smart Villa.
Xu Nuo was working on the [Transformer Car Design and Manufacturing Blueprint] at his research base, when his assistant Wen Ruohan called and told him about the review of "Transformers".
In the past two days, Xu Nuo felt much more relaxed.
After finishing the post-production of "Transformers" in full swing, Xu Nuo had nothing to do for the time being, took a break, and then wanted to ponder over the blueprints for the design and manufacture of this set of transformed cars.
"How's the discussion over there?" Xu Nuo asked.
"The major theater chains in China are almost in talks, and overseas China Lion Media is also progressing smoothly."
After Wen Ruohan finished answering, he quickly asked: "Then boss, is the finalization of "Transformers" going to be finalized now?"
"It's settled."
"New Year's Day?"
"Correct."
"Okay boss, I'll do it now."
Although it is very close to the Spring Festival, it doesn't matter, "Transformers" has already passed the review and got the dragon label, and at the same time, it has almost negotiated with the domestic theaters.
So when to choose when to release, it is Xu Nuo who makes the decision.
Fortunately, this time Xu Nuo really caught up with the Spring Festival. This is a time with a box office market worth tens of billions. It would be a pity if you missed it. We have to wait until the summer vacation in a few months.
The only regret is that the time for the Spring Festival stalls is very close, and the publicity can only be done briefly.
There is no need to do roadshows and publicity. In fact, there is no need to do anything.
Because for the current popularity of "Transformers", the popularity bonus of the road show promotion is actually not high.
All you need is to make an announcement on the Internet, raise your arms and let netizens know that "Transformers" will be released simultaneously worldwide on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Just in the trailer, there is a kind of trailer called a fixed-file trailer!
That is, by sending out a trailer, tell netizens who are looking forward to the movie its specific release time!
"Guan Ju, you send a copy of the finalized preview to Huashi Media, and then both domestic and foreign can upload and release it."
Xu Nuo said to Guan Ju.
"Ok sir."
Just after Guan Ju's voice fell.
The system interface appeared in front of Xu Nuo's eyes, and at the same time, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
[Your movie project "Transformers" has been confirmed to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the box office goal after the release: 10 billion US dollars worldwide! 】
[After completing the box office target task and the global simultaneous release task, you can get rich rewards! 】
"Billions of Dollars"
When Xu Nuo saw this box office target task, he thought he was delusional.
The difficulty of this box office target task does not seem to be very great.
The global box office of Xu Nuo's last movie "Terminator" combined domestic and overseas grossed more than US$[-] million.
What's more, the popularity of "Transformers" is so high, its box office appeal must be much stronger than that of "Terminator". After all, Xu Nuo spent more on filming "Transformers" than "Terminator" a lot of.
Not to mention the big scenes of "Transformers", the popcorn attributes, etc., are all better than the previous "Terminator" in all aspects.
So Xu Nuo thinks that there is absolutely no problem with the global box office mission of one billion US dollars.
It depends on how much box office "Transformers" can sweep the world in the end
At this time, Haicheng.
Dr. Ma's studio.
That's right, it is the studio opened by the science fiction writer Ma Yong.
Because the science fiction novels written by Ma Yong have cooperated closely with Penguin Pictures in copyright development in recent years, so Ma Yong took advantage of the situation and established his own studio.
"How many times have I told you, don't look at the low salary now, if you work hard, can you get less? The studio is not profitable now, so you can't bear it?"
Ma Yong successfully performed a cpu on a studio employee again today.
"Okay, okay, let's go to work quickly. By the way, remember to tell everyone that our studio can leave work early and go back to eat New Year's Eve dinner at five o'clock in the afternoon on the eve of the New Year's Eve."
After the employees left, Ma Yong picked up his mobile phone and answered a call from his good friend Director Zhang Xiaolong.
"Hey Director Zhang."
"Old horse, have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"It's the director Xu Nuo. His new movie "Transformers" may be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Zhang Xiaolong said with complicated worries in his tone.
This year's Lunar New Year's Day, Zhang Xiaolong also has a film to be released, adapted from Ma Yong's "Deep Sea Cataclysm", which tells a science fiction story of a war between mysterious marine creatures and humans.
But the last time Zhang Xiaolong directed "The Love of the Stars" was due to encountering Xu Nuo's "Terminator" in the same period, and the box office results were a bit miserable.
The truth is that Zhang Xiaolong has been given a little psychological shadow.
So when Zhang Xiaolong heard from a gossip that Xu Nuo's "Transformers" might also be released during the Spring Festival on the first day of the Lunar New Year, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that he will meet that guy Xu Nuo again?
"Transformers?"
When Ma Yong heard this, he laughed immediately: "Director Zhang, how long has it been since Xu Nuo's Transformers filmed? How could it be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and his post-production can be so fast?"
"I think so too, but I always feel that it is not groundless."
"Director Zhang, don't worry about it. I guess Xu Nuo's "Transformers" won't be released until this summer at the earliest. Has the large transformable mechanical toy been shipped yet?"
Ma Yong patted his chest and said.
Although Ma Yong and Zhang Xiaolong were rivals with Xu Nuo before, this did not affect that both he and Zhang Xiaolong liked Transformers very much, and even spent tens of thousands of dollars on the most expensive Transformers peripheral toys.
"Oh, it hasn't been shipped yet. It can't be done so fast. We have to wait in line slowly."
Zhang Xiaolong sighed, and said, "I never thought that kid Xu Nuo's "Transformers" would be so popular."
"One thing to say, that kid has something, but compared with Director Zhang, you are still far behind."
While affirming Xu Nuo, Ma Yong also did not forget to flatter Zhang Xiaolong.
"Look, this time during the Spring Festival, our "Deep Sea Catastrophe" will definitely earn at least one billion at the box office. Wang Xiao's fan appeal is very strong, and the last "Wolf Smoke" incident is basically for him. There was no negative impact."
Zhang Xiaolong said confidently.
That's right, in Zhang Xiaolong's "Deep Sea Cataclysm", the leading actor is Wang Xiao, who was filming "Being Smoke".
In fact, "Deep Sea Cataclysm" was filmed before "War Smoke",
Wang Xiao joined the crew of "Being Smoke" after filming Zhang Xiaolong's "Deep Sea Catastrophe" for a month and a half.
"One billion box office, can it be achieved? The few films in the Spring Festival this year seem to be very successful."
To be honest, Ma Yong maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards the one billion box office.
"During this period of time, Penguin Films's overwhelming publicity, do you think that the money is thrown out for nothing? You click on Weibo to see, the current Weibo opening screen advertisement is our "Deep Sea Catastrophe" !"
Zhang Xiaolong said triumphantly.
Penguin Pictures is the main investor in Zhang Xiaolong and Ma Yong's "Deep Sea Catastrophe".
Since "War Smoke" suffered a loss due to the peripheral clothing problem, then Penguin Pictures means to use "Deep Sea Catastrophe" to make up for it.
Therefore, the publicity for "Deep Sea Catastrophe" was increased.
"I'll take a look."
Ma Yongzhen took out his phone and clicked on Weibo.
Don't say it yet.
The advertisement when the APP opened was "Deep Sea Catastrophe" directed by Zhang Xiaolong.
Ma Yong can even see the words on the advertisement page——Adapted from Ma Yong's science fiction novel of the same name "Deep Sea Catastrophe"!
For a moment, Ma Yong's heart was full of pride.
"Then I'll post on Weibo right now to create some enthusiasm for our movie." Ma Yong said with a smile, and subconsciously clicked on Weibo's trending list.
It's all here, so I have to read some hot searches. I guess there must be hot searches on the hot searches that Penguin Pictures spent money on for "Deep Sea Catastrophe".
"Fuck!"
However, Ma Yong suddenly exclaimed before he saw the marketing trend of "Deep Sea Catastrophe" he wanted to watch.
"What's the matter, old horse?"
"How is this possible!" Ma Yong thought he had read it wrong, and rubbed his eyes again, making sure that the number one most searched topic was right!
"Old Ma, what are you talking nonsense about? What news did you see on Weibo?"
Zhang Xiaolong asked quickly.
"Director Zhang, what you said just now is really true. That guy Madexu Nuo's "Transformers" is really scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year. Did I rely on his mother to make it so fast?"
This news shocked Ma Yong so much that he couldn't stop talking about it.
Yes, when Guan Ju released the finalized trailer of "Transformers", it aroused huge heated discussions in a short period of time.
This time it is even stronger than the first official trailer of "Transformers" last time, because this one has a lot of information in the fixed-file trailer, telling netizens who are looking forward to "Transformers" that the movie is about to be released in the new year The first day of the first day is officially released!
As soon as the trailer of "Transformers" came out, almost all the netizens were shocked!
Is this movie so fast?
Director Xu, are you so fond of fans?Before, we just got addicted to urging "Transformers" on the Internet to be released immediately, and you still take it seriously?
Actually, "Transformers" was really released, and it was confirmed that it will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in time for the Spring Festival!
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Post-production done?
Shouldn't the special effects only be the one in the trailer?
Otherwise, how could your producer have produced the post-production special effects of "Transformers" so quickly?
With countless doubts and shocks, netizens clicked on the finalized trailer of "Transformers" and took a look. New content appeared in the trailer——
It shows the transformation process of Starscream into a Veyron fighter jet, which is so handsome that it explodes, and it has completely poked the hearts of countless netizens.
"@Director Xu Nuo, what the hell, Director Xu, are you real or fake? Is this the Transformers made?"
"The first day of the new year in 2025, there is still a year to go, what are you waiting for, the first day of the new year in 2024?"
"Awesome, it's released so fast!"
"I was really shocked. I thought I was wrong. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, hurry up, see you guys at the cinema!"
"I remember, wasn't it still filming in September and October?"
"Dr. Xu, you are too strong for such a terrifying commercial film production speed."
"The most important thing is, this special effect is also top-notch, okay?"
"When I saw the news of the finalization, I was almost excited!"
Netizens are shocked by the sudden decision of "Transformers", and then they are filled with endless joy and anticipation.
However, after Ma Yong was shocked, he was worried.
"Old Ma, what did I say, the movie "Transformers" is actually confirmed to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, no, then we have met Xu Nuo again!"
Zhang Xiaolong was numb in an instant.
The last time I came across your "Terminator" by Xu Nuo, my "Stellar Love" was not interested in the summer file.
If Xu Nuo's "Terminator" hadn't grabbed the box office cake last summer, Zhang Xiaolong is still very confident that "Star Love" can win more than [-] million soft sister coins at the box office.
"How good is this!"
Ma Yong also has a big head.
I just swore that Xu Nuo's "Transformers" could not be released so soon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the slap in the face always comes so fast.
"Should we urgently announce the withdrawal? Wait for a later release date?"
Zhang Xiaolong felt a little embarrassed.
The last time he cast a psychological shadow on him was not a joke, it was a real shadow. Zhang Xiaolong never wanted his film to be released at the same time as that guy Xu Nuo's.
"Director Zhang, you have to think about this matter carefully. Penguin Films has spent a lot of money on advertising, and now our "Deep Sea Catastrophe" is still hanging on the Weibo opening screen advertisement page."
Ma Yong felt that he had to think carefully about announcing his retirement.
"Lao Ma, wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Liang, and we'll have a video conference to discuss."
Zhang Xiaolong also naturally understands that there must be losses in announcing his withdrawal from the Spring Festival at this time.
But if you don't withdraw from the Spring Festival stalls, the loss may be even greater.
After a while, Zhang Xiaolong, Ma Yong and Liang Bin from Penguin Pictures came to a temporary video conference.
As the saying goes, the three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang.
"I saw the news. Director Zhang, do you mean to withdraw the film? Then release it at another time?" Liang Bin asked.
"Yes, that's what I think. We have Wang Xiao in "Deep Sea Catastrophe", so there must be a fan appeal. Even if we quit the Spring Festival file and find a suitable time later, we can still have box office results, and even arrange the film. There will be a lot more.”
Zhang Xiaolong said his thoughts truthfully: "But if it is the Spring Festival, the films that have been announced to be scheduled for the Spring Festival before that are very competitive, and suddenly there is a "Transformers", the most important thing What's more, "Transformers" and our "Deep Sea Cataclysm" are both sci-fi themes."
They are both sci-fi themes, the same release date, and the same old rival Xu Nuo.
This BUFF is fully stacked, Zhang Xiaolong can not be afraid!
"There's a saying, wealth and wealth are sought after insurance, the box office cake in the Spring Festival stalls is so big, we've done publicity, why don't we go in and have a bite?"
Ma Yong is still more inclined not to back down, and he is determined to get it done.
There are so many movies released during the Spring Festival, you can't be scared to fight just because there is an extra "Transformers", right?
"What you both said makes sense."
Liang Bin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
This Spring Festival file, is it refundable or not?
To be honest, Liang Bin was also hesitant.
What director Zhang Xiaolong said is not unreasonable. "Deep Sea Cataclysm" is also a science fiction commercial blockbuster, and so is "Transformers".
That means that in addition to being involved with several other films during the Spring Festival, the two films must also be involved in the same theme with each other.
With the current momentum of "Transformers", Liang Bin still knew that most of the volumes of "Deep Sea Catastrophe" would not be as good as "Transformers".
But the problem is.
On the side of Penguin Pictures, all the advertising fees for the promotion were spent.
If it is announced that the file will be withdrawn now, doesn't that mean that the previous publicity fees are all in vain?
too difficult.
How did I meet the monster "Transformers"!
If I remember correctly, the last time "Being Smoked" turned over because it followed the crowdfunding around "Transformers".
Thinking of this, Liang Bin was ready to be superstitious.
Since encountering "Transformers" will definitely not be a good thing, then let's not touch it!
As for the publicity fee that was spent before, if you stop it in time at this moment, you can stop the loss, and wait for a good and auspicious day to be released later. Maybe it can be earned back from the box office contributed by fans.
"Lao Ma, although what you said is also reasonable, but the competition for the Spring Festival this year is indeed too fierce. With "Transformers" coming in again, the situation is even more blurred."
Liang Bin didn't directly say that he wanted to retire, but expressed it tactfully.
"Then Mr. Liang, why don't we be cruel and retreat." Ma Yong naturally understood what Liang Bin meant, so he followed his words.
"Yes, if you want to retreat, you should retreat more simply."
Zhang Xiaolong saw that everyone seemed to have a tendency to unify their opinions, so he hurriedly said.
"Then it's settled, and I'll let the publicity department stop the follow-up publicity investment."
After having the steps, Liang Bin walked down naturally.
then.
After some discussions with the original author, director and the boss of the production company of "Deep Sea Catastrophe", they unanimously decided to withdraw the film urgently!
The reason is easy to make up. Generally speaking, the post-production is too late, and the post-production staff who can't show their faces are blamed. "Deep Sea Catastrophe" obviously uses this reason.
Now the melon-eating netizens who pay attention to the Spring Festival stalls have become lively.
"@Director张晓龙, what happened to Director Zhang?"
"Didn't Dr. Ma say that "Deep Sea Catastrophe" will be massacred during the Spring Festival? Why did you suddenly announce the withdrawal?"
"A question mark on my face?"
"Hahahaha, could it be because you saw that "Transformers" was scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then you got scared?"
"This Spring Festival this year is really interesting. Before the war started, there were already deserters."
"Woooooo my "Deep Sea Cataclysm", I can't see my brother at the beginning of the new year o(╥﹏╥)o"
Netizens were surprised and puzzled by the withdrawal of "Deep Sea Catastrophe", some were frustrated, and some were ridiculed.
However, passers-by and netizens combined with the hot searches of today's "Transformers" preview, they can guess seven or eighty-eight, this "Deep Sea Catastrophe" is likely to meet the same theme "" on the first day of the new year. Transformers", so I just confessed and ran away.
For a while, "Deep Sea Catastrophe" became a joke for netizens to make fun of this year's Spring Festival.
Speaking of which, Ma Yong is also a stubborn guy. After "Deep Sea Catastrophe" announced its withdrawal from the Spring Festival, he did not forget to post a Weibo saying that although "Transformers" is a very strong opponent, "Deep Sea Catastrophe" was definitely not withdrawn because of Transformers, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to break my wrist with "Transformers" on the Spring Festival stall this time.
Ma Yong almost believed what he said.
It didn't take long, [Transformers Official] announced that director Xu Nuo's movie "Transformers" will not only be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year during the Chinese New Year.
What's more, it will be released simultaneously worldwide on February 2. The main regions of release include China, North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Maoxiong and Southeast Asia.
It covers almost the vast majority of theater regions in the world.
Well now, netizens found out that "Transformers" didn't regard "Catastrophe" as an opponent at all. It was going to be released simultaneously all over the world, and they had to go to the world film market to fight to their heart's content.
"Damn it! It will be released simultaneously all over the world!"
"This is a bit of a hang!"
"Hehe, domestic films are still released globally simultaneously? Are you going out to make a joke?"
"I think "Transformers" has that strength."
"No, no, there are still people who don't know that "Transformers" is very popular overseas, right?"
"My friends in North America are looking forward to this domestic sci-fi movie."
"Those who say that the simultaneous global release of domestic films is a joke, please go out and watch more, and broaden your horizons."
Because there is a gap between the domestic and overseas Internet, some domestic netizens may not know how popular "Transformers" is overseas.
At the same time that Guan Ju released the preview of "Transformers" in China, Huashi Media, which is in charge of overseas distribution, also released the preview of the overseas English version of "Transformers".
Coupled with a wave of publicity from Huashi Media, the gringos quickly noticed the preview of "Transformers" and the date when it was officially released in overseas regions.
After the official trailer of "Transformers" became popular overseas, Huashi Media made a statistics about "Transformers". The data shows that the popularity of "Transformers" is already the top There is a batch.
It is as popular as the commercial blockbuster "Global Secret Service 2" directed by the famous Hollywood director Conte John Ming, which is about to be released in February!
In other words.
After Xu Nuo's "Transformers" was released simultaneously around the world, the global competitor is this "Global Agent 2".
of course.
On the first day of the new year in China, there are also several strong films that will compete with Xu Nuo's "Transformers" to share the box office cake during the Spring Festival.
The time soon came to February 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year in Huaguo.
A war without gunpowder is about to start in today's domestic and foreign film markets.
(End of this chapter)
"Xiaowen, what did you just say?"
"Boss, Huashi Media has already negotiated with the three major theater chains in North America. AMC, Regal, and Cinemark will give us a certain scale of film scheduling support for "Transformers." Once North America agrees, Then there should be no problems in Europe, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other regions, and Huashi Media is also actively communicating.
In addition, Huashi Media asked us when we can give them the source of the film for review? "
Wen Ruohan reported the matter to the boss in detail.
This matter is related to the simultaneous global release of "Transformers", and the boss attaches great importance to it, so Wen Ruohan returned to the boss's villa from the company today, and the first thing he did was to report this to the boss.
Now Wen Ruohan works for the boss in the company during the day.
After get off work, go to the boss's villa and continue to work for the boss.
It is true that it is a worker.
The boss even allowed himself to live in his big villa for the convenience of switching between his assistant and housekeeper. The boss directly arranged a room for him.
"That's a good thing."
After Xu Nuo learned that Huashi Media had negotiated a theatrical chain, the simultaneous global release seemed to be basically stable: "I haven't edited the finished film yet, it seems that I have to hurry up."
After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he continued to work.
"Oh, then I'll cook for the boss."
Wen Ruohan saw that the boss was busy using artificial intelligence Guan Ju to assist in the post-production of "Transformers", so he didn't bother the boss, turned around and went upstairs to the kitchen to cook for the boss.
Ever since the boss let her live in this villa, Wen Ruohan took on the job of washing and cooking for the boss.
Every morning, she would go shopping first, and then go to work in the company.
If there is no major event in the company and you need to go there by yourself, then Wen Ruohan will stay in the villa and wait for the boss's orders at any time.
If the boss really has nothing to do for him, then Wen Ruohan only needs to cook.
On Xu Nuo's side, he devoted himself to the post-production, and by accident, more than an hour passed, until the butler Wen Ruohan came to call him twice, and Xu Nuo explained to Guan Ju some things he could do alone. After completing the later tasks, he got up and went to eat.
For the next few days, Xu Nuo was basically in this state.
After all, completing the post-production of "Transformers" is Xu Nuo's most important task at present. Apart from eating, drinking, sleeping and resting, Xu Nuo almost always stays in his basement floor.
And that's it, another week later.
Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to sort out all the plot clips of "Transformers" that had been produced and edited, and then edited these plot clips uniformly, forming a timeline of nearly two and a half hours.
From the dizzy attack on the human military base at the beginning, to the hero and his father going to the second-hand car market to buy the Bumblebee.
Then the Department of Science and Technology convened top computer experts across the country to try to crack the signal information of the Decepticons, and opened the branch line of the hacker duo.
And Miluan sneaked into the core server of the Science and Technology Department, and obtained information about the male protagonist and the pair of glasses.
Then the main plot line of the hero and heroine began to advance.
Then the battle in the desert village was wonderfully displayed. This section was accompanied by a piece of music with a strong sense of rhythm. It can be said that the music perfectly integrated the mobilization of the human air force and the firepower strike. I can't help but feel excited, and may even have an urge to become a soldier.
It is simply a large-scale muscle show scene and a military recruitment promotional video.
This is exactly the effect that Colonel Luo Wei and the others want. In the movie "Transformers", the sign of War Terror Bureau is hung.
Then the plot continued to progress until the roadblock found the hero for the first time and asked where the glasses were. The battle between the bumblebee and the roadblock was also very exciting.
Among them, the heroine showed her brave side and beat the Decepticons to the bum.
After this paragraph is over, the male protagonist and the female protagonist boarded the car of Bumblebee. When passing through the tunnel, Bumblebee scanned and replaced his old Changan car with a newest Changan univ that happened to pass by.
Then Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ambulance, Jazz and other Autobots descended on the earth, joined Bumblebee, and met with the hero and heroine for the first time, explaining a series of reasons such as Cybertron and Tinder.
After the male protagonist knew about it, he took Optimus Prime and the others to the house to look for the pair of glasses.
At this time, the domestic secret service came to investigate the Transformers. Since the secret service didn't know that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were Autobots, they thought they were the same as the Decepticons, so there were misunderstandings and conflicts. .
But soon such misunderstanding and conflict were resolved, and the part where Bumblebee was captured was naturally edited and deleted by Xu Nuo.
On the Decepticon side, Starscream rushed over from the United States after learning that his elder brother Megatron had a secret base in China, and then had his first confrontation with the Veyron fighter jet over a certain sea area. .
In this way, the hacker duo, the task force played by Xiong Li, the male and female protagonists and the Autobots, as well as the Science and Technology Agency, the Secret Service, and the Decepticons intertwined and advanced.
Finally came the battle in Yuzhou City.
For more than two hours, Xu Nuo arranged the rhythm of the plot just right.
It is worth mentioning that Guan Ju is responsible for the dubbing of every Autobot and Decepticon character. It is not too easy for Guan Ju to have all kinds of voice lines.
What Xu Nuo is most satisfied with is brother Zhuzi's thick and steady voice with kindness, which can be said to be perfectly restored by Guan Ju.
If one day Xu Nuo gets tired of listening to Guan Ju's Yujie's voice, then he can let Guan Ju use Brother Zhuzi's voice to communicate with him.
In addition to the Chinese dubbing, the entire "Transformers" Guan Ju also has an English dubbing.
After all, "Transformers" will not only be released in China this time, but will be released globally simultaneously. Overseas regions will provide Mandarin and English versions to Huashi Media, which is responsible for distribution.
Just like when a Hollywood movie is imported into China, there will be an English version and a Mandarin version.
This time Xu Nuo's "Transformers" has gone abroad and is aimed at overseas markets. There are also two versions of this, the Mandarin version is the main one, and the English version is supplemented.
In addition to the important factors such as transformation effects and battle scenes in "Transformers", there is another factor that is also very important.
That's the soundtrack!
A good soundtrack can make a movie more emotionally appealing.
As for the soundtrack of the original version of "Transformers", Xu Nuo is really not so awesome that he can remember all of it, and there is no need to use the original soundtrack.
Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to tell her where and what kind of emotion needs to be rendered according to the plot progress of the movie, and then Guan Ju composed the soundtrack by himself.
Just like the air force attack in the desert village, Xu Nuo told Guan Ju that this section needs to have a strong sense of rhythm and match the scene of various aircraft of the air force. After listening to the exciting background music.
So Guan Ju created a few songs based on Xu Nuo's intentions, and Xu Nuo chose the one he was most satisfied with, not to mention, the soundtrack plus the picture, it really has the feeling of blood boiling.
Finally, there is the theme song of "Transformers".
After some consideration, Xu Nuo decided to use Linkin Park's "What I Do" as the theme song.
Because the theme song of Linkin Park matches "Transformers" too well, and Xu Nuo himself also likes the three theme songs of Transformation [-], Transformation [-] and Transformation [-].
As we all know, there are only three Transformers.
Another reason for choosing the original theme song is that Xu Nuo can sing these three theme songs completely.
However, even with the original theme song of Linkin Park, Xu Nuo did not copy it directly. For this song "What I've Done", Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to fill in the lyrics in Mandarin according to the melody.
In this way, under the hard work of more than [-] crew members led by Xu Nuo, after Xu Nuo and Guan Ju completed all the post-production together, a complete "Transformers" film was finally born.
After completing the post-production of "Transformers", Xu Nuo immediately sent the film to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review.
At the same time, it was also given to Huashi Media.
General Administration of Radio, Film and Television Building.
In a screening room, several reviewers are attentively reviewing the film "Transformers" submitted by Real Media.
Naturally, they have heard of this movie.
I didn't expect Real Media to produce "Transformers" so quickly, and the quality of the feature film is not bad. Compared with Hollywood's commercial popcorn movies, it is at the top level.
"Unexpectedly, we can produce such a top-notch popcorn commercial movie in China."
"Otherwise, that director Xu Nuo is amazing."
"When I saw this film sent in for review, I was stunned. Didn't it just say it was going to be filmed last year, and now it's all done?"
"Me too, it's too fast."
"This special effect is too real, I can't tell the difference when I watch it."
"There are so many military shots in this film, I'm afraid it needs to be marked."
"Don't worry about it, don't you know that the Science and Technology Agency, the military, and the city government building in Yuzhou have all greeted us?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I'm sorry I committed an occupational disease just now. I wanted to mark these shots when I saw them."
"I feel that the box office of this film will definitely not be low!"
For a film, apart from the insiders of the producer, the first person who can see a finished film is the reviewer of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
The review of "Transformers" can be said to be quite fast.
There is no way, the leader said that the review of this film must be fast and accurate.
Therefore, the review period for a film was originally [-] working days, but on the day "Transformers" was submitted, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television immediately arranged for a review team to review it.
After the review team has finished the review, make a review report and submit it to the leader.
It took only two days to complete a set of procedures.
The people at SARFT naturally understood that behind the movie "Transformers" is not just a simple real media.
The Science and Technology Department, the Yuzhou City Government Building, and Colonel Luo Wei have all greeted him.
Otherwise, a large number of fighter jets and aircraft carrier fleets can be used in the film. With such a strong background, even if the SARFT wants to trip this film, it has to weigh it carefully.
Besides, this is a rare domestic sci-fi commercial blockbuster for us, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will naturally give us strong support.
Therefore, this time the SARFT's review and the issuance of the public release license are at the speed of light, which is much, much faster than "Terminator".
"Boss, the SARFT's review has passed, and the dragon badge has been issued. This is too fast!"
Inside the Nanshan Smart Villa.
Xu Nuo was working on the [Transformer Car Design and Manufacturing Blueprint] at his research base, when his assistant Wen Ruohan called and told him about the review of "Transformers".
In the past two days, Xu Nuo felt much more relaxed.
After finishing the post-production of "Transformers" in full swing, Xu Nuo had nothing to do for the time being, took a break, and then wanted to ponder over the blueprints for the design and manufacture of this set of transformed cars.
"How's the discussion over there?" Xu Nuo asked.
"The major theater chains in China are almost in talks, and overseas China Lion Media is also progressing smoothly."
After Wen Ruohan finished answering, he quickly asked: "Then boss, is the finalization of "Transformers" going to be finalized now?"
"It's settled."
"New Year's Day?"
"Correct."
"Okay boss, I'll do it now."
Although it is very close to the Spring Festival, it doesn't matter, "Transformers" has already passed the review and got the dragon label, and at the same time, it has almost negotiated with the domestic theaters.
So when to choose when to release, it is Xu Nuo who makes the decision.
Fortunately, this time Xu Nuo really caught up with the Spring Festival. This is a time with a box office market worth tens of billions. It would be a pity if you missed it. We have to wait until the summer vacation in a few months.
The only regret is that the time for the Spring Festival stalls is very close, and the publicity can only be done briefly.
There is no need to do roadshows and publicity. In fact, there is no need to do anything.
Because for the current popularity of "Transformers", the popularity bonus of the road show promotion is actually not high.
All you need is to make an announcement on the Internet, raise your arms and let netizens know that "Transformers" will be released simultaneously worldwide on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Just in the trailer, there is a kind of trailer called a fixed-file trailer!
That is, by sending out a trailer, tell netizens who are looking forward to the movie its specific release time!
"Guan Ju, you send a copy of the finalized preview to Huashi Media, and then both domestic and foreign can upload and release it."
Xu Nuo said to Guan Ju.
"Ok sir."
Just after Guan Ju's voice fell.
The system interface appeared in front of Xu Nuo's eyes, and at the same time, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
[Your movie project "Transformers" has been confirmed to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the box office goal after the release: 10 billion US dollars worldwide! 】
[After completing the box office target task and the global simultaneous release task, you can get rich rewards! 】
"Billions of Dollars"
When Xu Nuo saw this box office target task, he thought he was delusional.
The difficulty of this box office target task does not seem to be very great.
The global box office of Xu Nuo's last movie "Terminator" combined domestic and overseas grossed more than US$[-] million.
What's more, the popularity of "Transformers" is so high, its box office appeal must be much stronger than that of "Terminator". After all, Xu Nuo spent more on filming "Transformers" than "Terminator" a lot of.
Not to mention the big scenes of "Transformers", the popcorn attributes, etc., are all better than the previous "Terminator" in all aspects.
So Xu Nuo thinks that there is absolutely no problem with the global box office mission of one billion US dollars.
It depends on how much box office "Transformers" can sweep the world in the end
At this time, Haicheng.
Dr. Ma's studio.
That's right, it is the studio opened by the science fiction writer Ma Yong.
Because the science fiction novels written by Ma Yong have cooperated closely with Penguin Pictures in copyright development in recent years, so Ma Yong took advantage of the situation and established his own studio.
"How many times have I told you, don't look at the low salary now, if you work hard, can you get less? The studio is not profitable now, so you can't bear it?"
Ma Yong successfully performed a cpu on a studio employee again today.
"Okay, okay, let's go to work quickly. By the way, remember to tell everyone that our studio can leave work early and go back to eat New Year's Eve dinner at five o'clock in the afternoon on the eve of the New Year's Eve."
After the employees left, Ma Yong picked up his mobile phone and answered a call from his good friend Director Zhang Xiaolong.
"Hey Director Zhang."
"Old horse, have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"It's the director Xu Nuo. His new movie "Transformers" may be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Zhang Xiaolong said with complicated worries in his tone.
This year's Lunar New Year's Day, Zhang Xiaolong also has a film to be released, adapted from Ma Yong's "Deep Sea Cataclysm", which tells a science fiction story of a war between mysterious marine creatures and humans.
But the last time Zhang Xiaolong directed "The Love of the Stars" was due to encountering Xu Nuo's "Terminator" in the same period, and the box office results were a bit miserable.
The truth is that Zhang Xiaolong has been given a little psychological shadow.
So when Zhang Xiaolong heard from a gossip that Xu Nuo's "Transformers" might also be released during the Spring Festival on the first day of the Lunar New Year, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that he will meet that guy Xu Nuo again?
"Transformers?"
When Ma Yong heard this, he laughed immediately: "Director Zhang, how long has it been since Xu Nuo's Transformers filmed? How could it be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and his post-production can be so fast?"
"I think so too, but I always feel that it is not groundless."
"Director Zhang, don't worry about it. I guess Xu Nuo's "Transformers" won't be released until this summer at the earliest. Has the large transformable mechanical toy been shipped yet?"
Ma Yong patted his chest and said.
Although Ma Yong and Zhang Xiaolong were rivals with Xu Nuo before, this did not affect that both he and Zhang Xiaolong liked Transformers very much, and even spent tens of thousands of dollars on the most expensive Transformers peripheral toys.
"Oh, it hasn't been shipped yet. It can't be done so fast. We have to wait in line slowly."
Zhang Xiaolong sighed, and said, "I never thought that kid Xu Nuo's "Transformers" would be so popular."
"One thing to say, that kid has something, but compared with Director Zhang, you are still far behind."
While affirming Xu Nuo, Ma Yong also did not forget to flatter Zhang Xiaolong.
"Look, this time during the Spring Festival, our "Deep Sea Catastrophe" will definitely earn at least one billion at the box office. Wang Xiao's fan appeal is very strong, and the last "Wolf Smoke" incident is basically for him. There was no negative impact."
Zhang Xiaolong said confidently.
That's right, in Zhang Xiaolong's "Deep Sea Cataclysm", the leading actor is Wang Xiao, who was filming "Being Smoke".
In fact, "Deep Sea Cataclysm" was filmed before "War Smoke",
Wang Xiao joined the crew of "Being Smoke" after filming Zhang Xiaolong's "Deep Sea Catastrophe" for a month and a half.
"One billion box office, can it be achieved? The few films in the Spring Festival this year seem to be very successful."
To be honest, Ma Yong maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards the one billion box office.
"During this period of time, Penguin Films's overwhelming publicity, do you think that the money is thrown out for nothing? You click on Weibo to see, the current Weibo opening screen advertisement is our "Deep Sea Catastrophe" !"
Zhang Xiaolong said triumphantly.
Penguin Pictures is the main investor in Zhang Xiaolong and Ma Yong's "Deep Sea Catastrophe".
Since "War Smoke" suffered a loss due to the peripheral clothing problem, then Penguin Pictures means to use "Deep Sea Catastrophe" to make up for it.
Therefore, the publicity for "Deep Sea Catastrophe" was increased.
"I'll take a look."
Ma Yongzhen took out his phone and clicked on Weibo.
Don't say it yet.
The advertisement when the APP opened was "Deep Sea Catastrophe" directed by Zhang Xiaolong.
Ma Yong can even see the words on the advertisement page——Adapted from Ma Yong's science fiction novel of the same name "Deep Sea Catastrophe"!
For a moment, Ma Yong's heart was full of pride.
"Then I'll post on Weibo right now to create some enthusiasm for our movie." Ma Yong said with a smile, and subconsciously clicked on Weibo's trending list.
It's all here, so I have to read some hot searches. I guess there must be hot searches on the hot searches that Penguin Pictures spent money on for "Deep Sea Catastrophe".
"Fuck!"
However, Ma Yong suddenly exclaimed before he saw the marketing trend of "Deep Sea Catastrophe" he wanted to watch.
"What's the matter, old horse?"
"How is this possible!" Ma Yong thought he had read it wrong, and rubbed his eyes again, making sure that the number one most searched topic was right!
"Old Ma, what are you talking nonsense about? What news did you see on Weibo?"
Zhang Xiaolong asked quickly.
"Director Zhang, what you said just now is really true. That guy Madexu Nuo's "Transformers" is really scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year. Did I rely on his mother to make it so fast?"
This news shocked Ma Yong so much that he couldn't stop talking about it.
Yes, when Guan Ju released the finalized trailer of "Transformers", it aroused huge heated discussions in a short period of time.
This time it is even stronger than the first official trailer of "Transformers" last time, because this one has a lot of information in the fixed-file trailer, telling netizens who are looking forward to "Transformers" that the movie is about to be released in the new year The first day of the first day is officially released!
As soon as the trailer of "Transformers" came out, almost all the netizens were shocked!
Is this movie so fast?
Director Xu, are you so fond of fans?Before, we just got addicted to urging "Transformers" on the Internet to be released immediately, and you still take it seriously?
Actually, "Transformers" was really released, and it was confirmed that it will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in time for the Spring Festival!
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Post-production done?
Shouldn't the special effects only be the one in the trailer?
Otherwise, how could your producer have produced the post-production special effects of "Transformers" so quickly?
With countless doubts and shocks, netizens clicked on the finalized trailer of "Transformers" and took a look. New content appeared in the trailer——
It shows the transformation process of Starscream into a Veyron fighter jet, which is so handsome that it explodes, and it has completely poked the hearts of countless netizens.
"@Director Xu Nuo, what the hell, Director Xu, are you real or fake? Is this the Transformers made?"
"The first day of the new year in 2025, there is still a year to go, what are you waiting for, the first day of the new year in 2024?"
"Awesome, it's released so fast!"
"I was really shocked. I thought I was wrong. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, hurry up, see you guys at the cinema!"
"I remember, wasn't it still filming in September and October?"
"Dr. Xu, you are too strong for such a terrifying commercial film production speed."
"The most important thing is, this special effect is also top-notch, okay?"
"When I saw the news of the finalization, I was almost excited!"
Netizens are shocked by the sudden decision of "Transformers", and then they are filled with endless joy and anticipation.
However, after Ma Yong was shocked, he was worried.
"Old Ma, what did I say, the movie "Transformers" is actually confirmed to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, no, then we have met Xu Nuo again!"
Zhang Xiaolong was numb in an instant.
The last time I came across your "Terminator" by Xu Nuo, my "Stellar Love" was not interested in the summer file.
If Xu Nuo's "Terminator" hadn't grabbed the box office cake last summer, Zhang Xiaolong is still very confident that "Star Love" can win more than [-] million soft sister coins at the box office.
"How good is this!"
Ma Yong also has a big head.
I just swore that Xu Nuo's "Transformers" could not be released so soon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the slap in the face always comes so fast.
"Should we urgently announce the withdrawal? Wait for a later release date?"
Zhang Xiaolong felt a little embarrassed.
The last time he cast a psychological shadow on him was not a joke, it was a real shadow. Zhang Xiaolong never wanted his film to be released at the same time as that guy Xu Nuo's.
"Director Zhang, you have to think about this matter carefully. Penguin Films has spent a lot of money on advertising, and now our "Deep Sea Catastrophe" is still hanging on the Weibo opening screen advertisement page."
Ma Yong felt that he had to think carefully about announcing his retirement.
"Lao Ma, wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Liang, and we'll have a video conference to discuss."
Zhang Xiaolong also naturally understands that there must be losses in announcing his withdrawal from the Spring Festival at this time.
But if you don't withdraw from the Spring Festival stalls, the loss may be even greater.
After a while, Zhang Xiaolong, Ma Yong and Liang Bin from Penguin Pictures came to a temporary video conference.
As the saying goes, the three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang.
"I saw the news. Director Zhang, do you mean to withdraw the film? Then release it at another time?" Liang Bin asked.
"Yes, that's what I think. We have Wang Xiao in "Deep Sea Catastrophe", so there must be a fan appeal. Even if we quit the Spring Festival file and find a suitable time later, we can still have box office results, and even arrange the film. There will be a lot more.”
Zhang Xiaolong said his thoughts truthfully: "But if it is the Spring Festival, the films that have been announced to be scheduled for the Spring Festival before that are very competitive, and suddenly there is a "Transformers", the most important thing What's more, "Transformers" and our "Deep Sea Cataclysm" are both sci-fi themes."
They are both sci-fi themes, the same release date, and the same old rival Xu Nuo.
This BUFF is fully stacked, Zhang Xiaolong can not be afraid!
"There's a saying, wealth and wealth are sought after insurance, the box office cake in the Spring Festival stalls is so big, we've done publicity, why don't we go in and have a bite?"
Ma Yong is still more inclined not to back down, and he is determined to get it done.
There are so many movies released during the Spring Festival, you can't be scared to fight just because there is an extra "Transformers", right?
"What you both said makes sense."
Liang Bin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
This Spring Festival file, is it refundable or not?
To be honest, Liang Bin was also hesitant.
What director Zhang Xiaolong said is not unreasonable. "Deep Sea Cataclysm" is also a science fiction commercial blockbuster, and so is "Transformers".
That means that in addition to being involved with several other films during the Spring Festival, the two films must also be involved in the same theme with each other.
With the current momentum of "Transformers", Liang Bin still knew that most of the volumes of "Deep Sea Catastrophe" would not be as good as "Transformers".
But the problem is.
On the side of Penguin Pictures, all the advertising fees for the promotion were spent.
If it is announced that the file will be withdrawn now, doesn't that mean that the previous publicity fees are all in vain?
too difficult.
How did I meet the monster "Transformers"!
If I remember correctly, the last time "Being Smoked" turned over because it followed the crowdfunding around "Transformers".
Thinking of this, Liang Bin was ready to be superstitious.
Since encountering "Transformers" will definitely not be a good thing, then let's not touch it!
As for the publicity fee that was spent before, if you stop it in time at this moment, you can stop the loss, and wait for a good and auspicious day to be released later. Maybe it can be earned back from the box office contributed by fans.
"Lao Ma, although what you said is also reasonable, but the competition for the Spring Festival this year is indeed too fierce. With "Transformers" coming in again, the situation is even more blurred."
Liang Bin didn't directly say that he wanted to retire, but expressed it tactfully.
"Then Mr. Liang, why don't we be cruel and retreat." Ma Yong naturally understood what Liang Bin meant, so he followed his words.
"Yes, if you want to retreat, you should retreat more simply."
Zhang Xiaolong saw that everyone seemed to have a tendency to unify their opinions, so he hurriedly said.
"Then it's settled, and I'll let the publicity department stop the follow-up publicity investment."
After having the steps, Liang Bin walked down naturally.
then.
After some discussions with the original author, director and the boss of the production company of "Deep Sea Catastrophe", they unanimously decided to withdraw the film urgently!
The reason is easy to make up. Generally speaking, the post-production is too late, and the post-production staff who can't show their faces are blamed. "Deep Sea Catastrophe" obviously uses this reason.
Now the melon-eating netizens who pay attention to the Spring Festival stalls have become lively.
"@Director张晓龙, what happened to Director Zhang?"
"Didn't Dr. Ma say that "Deep Sea Catastrophe" will be massacred during the Spring Festival? Why did you suddenly announce the withdrawal?"
"A question mark on my face?"
"Hahahaha, could it be because you saw that "Transformers" was scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then you got scared?"
"This Spring Festival this year is really interesting. Before the war started, there were already deserters."
"Woooooo my "Deep Sea Cataclysm", I can't see my brother at the beginning of the new year o(╥﹏╥)o"
Netizens were surprised and puzzled by the withdrawal of "Deep Sea Catastrophe", some were frustrated, and some were ridiculed.
However, passers-by and netizens combined with the hot searches of today's "Transformers" preview, they can guess seven or eighty-eight, this "Deep Sea Catastrophe" is likely to meet the same theme "" on the first day of the new year. Transformers", so I just confessed and ran away.
For a while, "Deep Sea Catastrophe" became a joke for netizens to make fun of this year's Spring Festival.
Speaking of which, Ma Yong is also a stubborn guy. After "Deep Sea Catastrophe" announced its withdrawal from the Spring Festival, he did not forget to post a Weibo saying that although "Transformers" is a very strong opponent, "Deep Sea Catastrophe" was definitely not withdrawn because of Transformers, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to break my wrist with "Transformers" on the Spring Festival stall this time.
Ma Yong almost believed what he said.
It didn't take long, [Transformers Official] announced that director Xu Nuo's movie "Transformers" will not only be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year during the Chinese New Year.
What's more, it will be released simultaneously worldwide on February 2. The main regions of release include China, North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Maoxiong and Southeast Asia.
It covers almost the vast majority of theater regions in the world.
Well now, netizens found out that "Transformers" didn't regard "Catastrophe" as an opponent at all. It was going to be released simultaneously all over the world, and they had to go to the world film market to fight to their heart's content.
"Damn it! It will be released simultaneously all over the world!"
"This is a bit of a hang!"
"Hehe, domestic films are still released globally simultaneously? Are you going out to make a joke?"
"I think "Transformers" has that strength."
"No, no, there are still people who don't know that "Transformers" is very popular overseas, right?"
"My friends in North America are looking forward to this domestic sci-fi movie."
"Those who say that the simultaneous global release of domestic films is a joke, please go out and watch more, and broaden your horizons."
Because there is a gap between the domestic and overseas Internet, some domestic netizens may not know how popular "Transformers" is overseas.
At the same time that Guan Ju released the preview of "Transformers" in China, Huashi Media, which is in charge of overseas distribution, also released the preview of the overseas English version of "Transformers".
Coupled with a wave of publicity from Huashi Media, the gringos quickly noticed the preview of "Transformers" and the date when it was officially released in overseas regions.
After the official trailer of "Transformers" became popular overseas, Huashi Media made a statistics about "Transformers". The data shows that the popularity of "Transformers" is already the top There is a batch.
It is as popular as the commercial blockbuster "Global Secret Service 2" directed by the famous Hollywood director Conte John Ming, which is about to be released in February!
In other words.
After Xu Nuo's "Transformers" was released simultaneously around the world, the global competitor is this "Global Agent 2".
of course.
On the first day of the new year in China, there are also several strong films that will compete with Xu Nuo's "Transformers" to share the box office cake during the Spring Festival.
The time soon came to February 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year in Huaguo.
A war without gunpowder is about to start in today's domestic and foreign film markets.
