Chapter 516 [New Shaolin Temple] Release and Longbow Release Opportunities to Show Professionalism
  "But it doesn't matter. Even if there is no investment from Longbow Film and Television, with my current enthusiasm, there is still no problem in investing in new projects. Besides, without Longbow Film and Television as a strong investor, I can get more films for new projects. Profit." Jiang Wen said with some satisfaction and excitement.

As a result, after hearing Jiang Wen's words, his wife Zhou Yun hesitated and reminded: "Without the investment from Longgong Film and Television, will there be any problems in the promotion and distribution of your new project?
  After all, the current film and television industry is not like before. It is a loss-making business and not many people care.

Not to mention the summer vacation, Director Zhang's "Transformers 2" has a box office of more than [-] billion yuan.

Just Feng Xiaogang's "Earthquake" with a box office of over 2 million, and "If You Are the One [-]" which is now close to a box office of over [-] million, and your "Let the Bullets Fly".

It has attracted a lot of hot money into the industry, and now the industry is in chaos. "

His wife Zhou Yun's narration also made Jiang Wen a little unsure.

"It should...not be the case!" Jiang Wen's tone was a little vague.

Zhou Yun glanced at Jiang Wen and made up his mind: "If you are not careful about this kind of thing, it will change the flow of thousands or hundreds of millions of yuan. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!"

Jiang Wen was convinced.

"I have met Mr. Han several times. With my current enthusiasm, it shouldn't be difficult to come to him for investment in a new project. With Huaying's thighs covering the new project, it shouldn't be as good as Longbow." Film and television are worse." Jiang Wen said.

Zhou Yun wanted to settle the matter and suggested: "Go now?"

"Ok!"

……

Here Jiang Wen and his people came out of the gate of Longgong Film and Television and ran directly to Huaying.

Over there, Zhang Nan was in the office and received another call from Bernard Films. The purpose of the call was also very simple.

[New Shaolin Temple] is about to be released.

The original version of [New Shaolin Temple] stars Liu Tianwang, Chenglong and Wu Jin, as well as Xie Tingfeng and Fan Bingbing.

Now Liu Tianwang, Chenglong and Wu Jin have all joined Zhang Nan's command.

Among them, Cheng Long is busy preparing for his new film "Zodiac", Wu Jin is working five days off every day in North America and continues to earn a lot of US dollars, and Liu Tianwang is filming "Fast and Furious 5" again.

Each of the celebrity positions is larger than in the original time and space, and they are much busier. Naturally, they don't have time to star in "New Shaolin Temple".

In addition, Zhang Nan was strongly recommending Hu Ge and Yu Entai at that time, so Hu Ge was selected by the crew of "New Shaolin Temple" and became the leading actor replacing Liu Tianwang.

After all, under the training of Zhang Nan's resources over the years, Hu Ge has been gilded in North America, and he can be regarded as the first brother of the new generation in the mainland.

"Released on January 1th?"

"Okay, I will definitely attend when I have time."

"In terms of film arrangement, don't worry. Hu Ge is an artist under my banner. He can star in [New Shaolin Temple], a project with an investment of over [-] million. I will definitely help with this location and will definitely arrange it properly..."

After some assurances, Zhang Nan hung up the phone and let out a breath.

to be frank.

When I first promoted Hu Ge to the cast of [New Shaolin Temple], I just wanted to give it a try. If it worked, the idea was just to earn 2.12 million yuan at the box office and let Hu Ge show his face in front of the audience.

After all, the quality of the [New Shaolin Temple] project is really average.

But now that someone called and expressed his intention, Zhang Nan had to respond.

Otherwise, if you want to push new people in the future, you won’t be able to do so.

But in the current film market, where can we find space for [New Shaolin Temple]?

[Jurassic World 2] is still racing across the river, [Let the Bullets Fly] and [If You Are the One 2] are also performing tenaciously, and there are even [Laughing Rivers and Lakes] and [The Orphan of Zhao] hanging on to survive.

One movie is expected to exceed the box office of [-] billion yuan in the mainland, two movies are expected to exceed the box office of [-] million yuan in the mainland, and two movies are expected to exceed the box office of [-] million yuan in the mainland. Although the quality of the five films varies, their box office appeal is not small, and the scheduling of any one of them is not easy.

Moreover, "New Shaolin Temple" starring Hu Ge is here to say hello, and the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" starring Yu Entai will be released at the end of January, so I will definitely not be idle.

After thinking about various thoughts for a while, Zhang Nan reluctantly figured out a direction and picked up the phone again.

First, he made a call to the person in charge of Longgong Film and Television in Mainland China and said:
  "[New Shaolin Temple] will be released on January 1. At that time, in the name of the company and myself, I would like to find a representative to show his face and participate."

After speaking, Zhang Nan dialed the number of the person in charge of Longbow Publishing in Mainland China.

"Arrange the film schedule of [Laughing Rivers and Lakes], reduce the scale, but do not draw any pictures. The free film schedule will be added to [New Shaolin Temple]. Tell Zhao Benshan that this is a phased adjustment and will be adjusted later. Coming back."

In fact, "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" has been in theaters for more than a month now, and the single-day box office has dropped to only a few hundred thousand yuan, so there is no problem for "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" to be released directly. Zhao Ben The mountains will understand too.

But what Zhang Nan wants to do is to use "Laughing Jianghu" to promote the professionalism of longbow distribution in the mainland.

This will help attract more mainland films in the future and cooperate with Longbow Distribution when releasing them.

After all, Zhang Nan cannot always invest in all the popular movies in the mainland. That is simply not possible, even if Zhang Nan has foresight.

Because in the increasingly hot mainland film market, people's sanity is slowly going crazy.

The entanglement of various interests will make it more difficult for Zhang Nan to participate in various projects.

Then you have to use professional distribution methods to intervene and get a share of the pie.

Otherwise, wouldn’t many people want to invest in future comedies by Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Happy Mahua, and many distribution companies wouldn’t want to distribute them?

All want to invest and issue.

But neither investment nor issuance can be done.

Even many well-known large film and television companies cannot invest and distribute, and only a few leading giant companies can invest and distribute.

Because of what?
  One reason is that people don't need it and want to earn more, so the shares they throw away are less.

Another reason is that the vast majority of films and TV shows are not professional enough in terms of investment and distribution.

Longbow Publishing in Zhang Nan's hands actually has the status of some of the leading publishing companies in the mainland.

After all, Longbow Distribution is the only company in mainland China and even Asia that can distribute movies in major movie markets around the world.

However, the professionalism of mainland issuance is still a bit weak.

But this wave can be revealed through the operation of [Laughing Jianghu].

Because the timing is perfect.

At the same time as "Laughing Out Loud", there was Chen Wuji's "The Orphan of Zhao" as the soundtrack, and then there was the hotly released "New Shaolin Temple", a big bad movie.

You want to know what a bad movie is?

That's a big-budget, low-quality movie.

Naturally, before it is released, a market will be cleared to attract a certain number of moviegoers to the theater. Then, due to quality issues, a large number of moviegoers attracted by large amounts of publicity funds will be wasted.

These wasted moviegoers won’t disappear anytime soon.

If "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" can eat up the moviegoers attracted by "New Shaolin Temple" by spending money on publicity, then let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the most practical thing, increase its box office of 1.55 million yuan to 2 million yuan. The threshold should be a bit of a chance.

But if you want to do this, just the trick Zhang Nan just mentioned is not enough.
