It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 939 It’s not illegal for a daughter to ride on her father’s popularity! Is a new TV drama project on the market?
"From this trailer, we can see that the quality of Operation Red Sea is definitely not inferior to The Great Wall. In the upcoming Lunar New Year period, I have another strong rival!"

Zhang Yimou murmured, his heart already filled with vigilance.

"Operation Red Sea" has been officially scheduled for release on December 12nd, and "The Great Wall" on December 2th.

Although the two films were released nearly half a month apart, for real big-budget blockbusters, even a half-month gap will still create huge competition and influence.

At this time, Zhang Yimou's "favored disciple" and "eldest daughter" Zhang Mo was accompanying him to watch the promotional video of "Operation Red Sea".

Hearing his father's sigh, Zhang Mo immediately encouraged him: "The themes of The Great Wall and Operation Red Sea are different. Although there will be an impact, I don't think it will be too big."

"Alas." Zhang Yimou sighed, "If it is an ordinary blockbuster, it will not have much impact. But if it forms a box office siphon, the screening schedule of The Great Wall will naturally be suppressed."

“But isn’t there a China Film Corporation behind The Great Wall?”

"But the Navy is behind Operation Red Sea, and the words 'main theme' are not just casual words."

Hearing this, Zhang Mo fell silent.

However, after a moment, she suddenly said something that shocked Zhang Yimou!
"Dad, I actually have something to talk to you about when I came back this time."

"What?" Zhang Yimou looked at her in confusion.

"The post-production of the film I directed, 28 Years Old, has been completed. I want to release this film during the Lunar New Year holiday. What do you think?"

Zhang Yimou suddenly frowned: "What do you think? This year's Lunar New Year box office is different from previous years! "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", "I Am Not Fan Jinlian", "The Sword of the Third Young Master", "Railroad Tigers"... these are not easy to deal with.

And now Operation Red Sea has also joined in, turning this situation into a box office winch! If other movies come in, they will all be doomed!"

"I understand what you mean." Zhang Mo explained, "I was thinking that because the Lunar New Year market is big enough this year, all major theaters will definitely go all out, and the online popularity will also be booming.

It just so happens that I chose to enter at this time. Although I will be met with a lot of ridicule and doubt, it will also bring enough popularity. I don’t need to be better than you blockbusters, I just need to not let myself fall behind, then I will definitely get my own victory and increase my popularity..."

Zhang Mo's analysis made Zhang Yimou fall into deep thought.

In fact, what my daughter said is quite right. The Lunar New Year box office has been propped up, and even if there is a little overflow, it will be enough to fill the void for "28-Year-Old Minor".

Thinking of this, he finally didn't refuse, "Okay, since you've already decided, let's do the Lunar New Year film, and then you can follow me to run promotional activities."

"Ah?" Zhang Mo was slightly stunned: "Is this... is this appropriate? It's not a good idea for me to take advantage of the popularity of The Great Wall, right?"

"Who said you were riding on the popularity of The Great Wall? You were riding on the popularity of Zhang Yimou."

"Ok?"

Zhang Mo looked at his father with a little surprise, feeling as if the sun was rising in the west.

She had only not been back for a few months, but why did she suddenly feel that her father had become a different person and even started to give her special treatment?

Zhang Yimou is so smart, how could he not guess what Zhang Mo is thinking.

"Alas!" He sighed and said slowly, "I am old now. I can't take all the favors and connections I have accumulated throughout my life with me into my coffin, right?"

"dad……"

"Okay, no more words, go and prepare yourself, and start building momentum as soon as possible, so that I can use my connections and relationships to help you lay the foundation."

"Okay." Zhang Mo nodded slightly and promised solemnly: "I won't let you down!"

"okay."

Zhang Yimou smiled with satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with his daughter.

Although he cannot compare with his contemporary brother Chen Kai in terms of awards and network of contacts, he is definitely miles ahead of the latter when it comes to educating children!

At the same time, on the side of the "Sky Hunter" crew, Li Chen was watching the promotional video of "Operation Red Sea" with a group of leaders from the Air Force Political Department.

The video, which is less than a minute long, ends quickly.

The moment the screen went dark, he stood up suddenly and assured with firm words: "Dear leaders, don't worry, the quality of Sky Hunter will definitely not be worse than Operation Red Sea!"

Hearing this, a group of leaders of the Air Force Political Department smiled.

"They have warships, we have military aircraft. When it comes to the quality of our equipment, we are not afraid!"

"That's right. No matter how high the box office of Operation Red Sea is, our Sky Hunter will catch up and surpass them!"

"How can a ship be faster than a plane? Hahaha!"

……

Overnight, when many people in the circle were enthusiastically discussing topics related to "Operation Red Sea", several news about film and television in the industry became hot searches.

“Following the box office success of “See You Tomorrow,” Director Han Han is making another foray into the film industry with his new film “Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves”!

It is reported that the casting of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" has been completed in a low-key manner. The specific cast list will be officially announced during the film's launch conference. Please stay tuned!"

"According to relevant industry insiders, following "I Am Not Fan Jinlian", director Feng Xiaogang will once again release a new blockbuster film (this news has not yet been confirmed)..."

"LeTV Pictures co-director Zhang Mo announced that the fantasy romance film "28 Years Old Minor", starring Ni Ni, Huo Jianhua, Ma Su, and Wang Dalu, adapted from Black.F's novel of the same name, will be officially released in China on December 12."

"It is reported that "28-Year-Old Minor" is the first directorial debut of Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo. The film mainly tells the story of 28-year-old Liang Xia who is unable to extricate herself from a bad love life. After accidentally eating chocolate, she returns to the age of 17 and rediscovers her hobbies and career."

The industry was buzzing with discussions throughout the morning.

Of course, the main topics mostly revolve around Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Mo.

As for Han Han, because he switched from being a novelist to being a director, many "professionals" in the industry still look down on him, so naturally they don't pay too much attention to him.

However, Guo Xiaosi's fans became agitated again.

"Jade Dynasty" is about to be released, and Han Han, the arch-rival, has actually announced the launch of a new movie project. Isn't it obvious that he is trying to steal the popularity and grab the hot searches?

For a moment, fans of both sides started arguing with each other again, and a new round of verbal war seemed to have started.

On the other hand, many people in the circle have their eyes on Zhang Mo's new movie "28-Year-Old Minor".
Looking at the release date of December 12, no one can guess what this person is thinking?

First there was Operation Red Sea, then there was The Great Wall. She actually put her movie right in the middle of the two blockbusters, completely overlapping with the release dates of the two movies...

Isn't this just seeking death?

No one thought that "28-Year-Old Minor" would become a "dark horse" because the opponents it faced were too strong, too strong. Even if it was a "dark horse", it could not get to the front!

"Is the news about Feng Xiaogang's new movie true or false? Why has he suddenly become so productive? One movie hasn't even been released yet, and another one is coming right after. What's going on?"

On the phone, Wang Changtian kept muttering, his tone full of doubt and confusion.

"Why else? The bet of more than 10 billion is still there. If he doesn't produce more, the compensation alone will kill him!"

"So the news is true?"

"Well, almost."

Chen Fei's information network is quite extensive. Although he doesn't know the name of Feng Xiaogang's new movie for the time being, he still knows the inside information that the script is almost ready.

"Ah, when will Guangguang be able to make a big production for fun..."

Wang Changtian began to sigh again. Guangxian is a listed company after all. If it keeps making small moves, its stock price will never go up!
"If you are not absolutely sure, I advise you not to try. Be careful not to go back to the days before liberation overnight."

"That's for sure. We won't do anything that we are not sure of." As they chatted, the topic inevitably turned to the bell ringing ceremony that will be held at Shanghai Film Studio tomorrow.

"Have you received the invitation to the Shanghai Film Festival celebration party?"

"Yes, received."

"go?"

"Of course I have to go! Director Ren has given me so many warnings and instructions. If I don't go, he will probably come to the capital to take me there."

Chen Fei really didn't want to run. He was almost vomiting from sitting on the plane!

However, it was impossible for him not to attend this celebratory party. After all, Feiyue Film and Television and Shanghai Film Group were allies, and if he didn't go, he would be criticized.

"Then let's go together then?"

"Sure, my private plane happens to be parked in the capital, let's take my plane together."

"Okay, haha, I've never been on your plane before, I'd really like to see it this time."

As we were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

"Hang up first, Mr. Wang, I have something to take care of here."

After saying hello, Fade Chen hung up the phone and shouted "Come in" to the door.

The next second, the office door was gently pushed open, and Jiang Xue stepped on her short high heels and walked quickly to Chen Fei with a "click-click-click" sound.

"Mr. Chen, please take a look at these two TV drama project books and sign your name so I can take them to the warehouse for review."

"Oh? Another new project?"

Fade Chen took the two documents and read them with great interest.

Looking around, I saw that one of them was called "Ashes of Love". The introduction said it was a fantasy romance drama, adapted from the novel of the same name by online writer "Dianxian". It tells the story of Jin Mi, the daughter of the flower goddess, and Xu Feng, the son of the Emperor of Heaven, who have been entangled in grievances and love for a thousand years through three reincarnations.

The other one is "You Are My Glory", an urban romance theme adapted from Gu Man's novel of the same name. It tells the story of popular actress Qiao Jingjing and aerospace designer Yu Tu who meet again because of the game Honor of Kings after ten years of separation. The two gradually develop feelings for each other and eventually get together.

From an objective point of view, the quality of both scripts is quite high and in line with current market conditions.

This cost budget is really damn high!
The production cost of "Ashes of Love" was as high as 2 million yuan, while that of "You Are My Glory" was 1.2 million yuan.

With such a high cost, if it were invested in a movie, it would definitely be a successful film.

However, the money invested in the filming of the TV series is only the production cost and does not include the subsequent publicity and promotion investment!
After picking up the pen and signing his name at the end of the document, Fade Chen couldn't help but sigh, "The cost of filming a TV series is getting higher and higher now."

"Alas, there is nothing we can do." Jiang Xue shrugged: "Prices are rising, the cost of props and many materials is also rising, and the actors' salaries are going crazy. The production costs can only be increased again and again..."

This is the general trend after the entry of capital, and no one can stop it, so various film and television production companies can only choose to accept it.

Chen Fei shook his head and did not continue to discuss the topic of "actors' pay" in depth. Instead, he asked about the post-production of "Princess Agents".

"It will be ready in about half a month. By then we will invite all the major TV stations to bid for the first round of broadcast qualifications."

"Okay, let me know if anything happens."

"Yeah, I understand."

……

In a blink of an eye, number 17 arrived as scheduled.

Many netizens on Weibo are currently discussing topics related to the Olympics.

Since the team failed to win the gold medal in several promising gold medal opportunities, many people were very dissatisfied.

In addition, Olympic athletes have encountered various scandals such as whistle-blowing and doping abroad, making this Olympics full of complaints.

Although Chen Fei is an extreme athlete, he is not a sports fan and has no particular interest in Olympic sports.

The main reason is that he feels these people's competition is too childish and not exciting at all.

Therefore, he was lucky enough to avoid many frustrating sports events, and he was not like those football fans in China who always had hope but always returned disappointed.

It is only 8: in the morning, and there is still more than an hour before Shanghai Film officially rings the bell to go public.

On the big bed in the bedroom, Chen Fei had one arm around Liu Yifei's slender waist, which was as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and the other hand was exposed, flipping through the latest movie box office information released by the theater.

August is already halfway through, and many films that were released at the beginning of the month have almost finished their release.

"The comedy blockbuster "Detective Chinatown 2", produced by Feiyue Films and starring Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang and others, has been released for more than 20 days and the box office has reached 33.46 billion yuan!"

"The horror, suspense and fantasy film "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", jointly produced by LeTV Pictures, Shangying and Quantum Entertainment, and starring Jing Boran, Lu Han and Wang Jingchun, has grossed 12 million yuan in box office revenue in 9.14 days since its release. Yesterday's new box office revenue was 1269 million yuan, and it is already very close to the 10 billion yuan box office mark!"

"The romantic drama film "Summer Is Here" starring Wu Yifan, Han Geng and Lu Shan has been released for 12 days and has grossed 1.56 million yuan. It was officially removed from the shelves by the cinema chain in the early hours of yesterday morning because its box office potential has been exhausted."

"Line Walker" was released for one week and grossed 3.78 million yuan at the box office."

"The daily box office revenue of Love O1445O has dropped to million. Unfortunately, the film failed to meet the expectations of the filmmakers."

"After one week of release, the box office of "The Dangerous City" has accumulated 9111.4 million yuan, and its box office potential is about to be exhausted..."

"Hollywood imported blockbusters "Ice Age 5: Collision Course" and "Jason Bourne" will be released on the 5rd, so stay tuned!"

Seeing that two more Hollywood imported blockbusters are about to be released, the tension in the Chinese-language film industry suddenly reached its peak!
Especially for those domestic films that will be released after the 23rd, it will be like a loss of their parents.

Because they simply cannot imagine how awesome their own movies have to be to be able to withstand these two imported Hollywood blockbusters?
In a blink of an eye, it was already half past nine.

Chen Fei pulled down the film, television and entertainment news interface displayed on the phone screen and performed the "refresh" operation.

In the next second, the news interface suddenly changed drastically, and dozens of news releases were refreshed almost in the blink of an eye.

"At 8:17 a.m. on August , Beijing time, Ren Zhonglun, chairman of Shanghai Film Group, together with Zhu Yun, former chairman of CICC, and several shareholder representatives including Wang Jiawei, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhao Yanzi, stepped onto the red carpet of the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

"Under the flash of the media, Ren Zhonglun, chairman of Shanghai Film Group, raised the gong and struck it hard. The clear sound of the gong instantly resounded throughout the exchange. This was not only a signal that Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. had officially landed on the A-share market, but also the starting point for it to move towards a new stage of development and meet new challenges!"

“It is reported that the stock abbreviation of Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. is “Shanghai Film”, implying that it will become the shining pearl of the film industry in Shanghai and even the whole country;
Its stock listing price was 10.19 yuan, the issue price-earnings ratio was 22.25 times, and the issuance method was offline inquiry and allotment and online pricing issuance... The initial issuance quantity did not exceed 9350 million shares. Although it was not as large as "Zhongqi Film", the opening price was an eye-catching 12.23 yuan, with a premium rate of 20.02%, and it hit the daily limit instantly after the opening!

This market performance not only demonstrates investors’ confidence and expectations for Shanghai Film Co., Ltd., but also indicates its broad development space in the future.”

At the gong-ringing ceremony for the listing of Shanghai Film Group, Chairman Ren Zhonglun reviewed the difficult journey of Shanghai Film Group since its establishment, and frankly admitted that compared with the newly listed China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group is not a giant state-owned film and television listed company.

Especially in the introduction and distribution of imported films, Shanghai Film did not enjoy the policy advantages that China Film and Huaxia Film enjoyed... However, it was precisely this unfavorable condition that inspired the spirit of self-reliance and forging ahead among the people of Shanghai Film..."

"It is reported that since 2004, every penny of Shanghai Film Group has come from the market rather than the state's financial support. This spirit not only enables Shanghai Film Group to maintain its leading position in the competition, but also lays a solid foundation for its future development."

"Chairman Ren Zhonglun also said: Shanghai Film Group will actively recruit and motivate various talents suitable for the company's development from across the country and even the world in accordance with industry standards.

All staff of the company will work together to ride the wave of the global film market with innovative thinking, pragmatic style and fighting spirit, bring more excellent film works to the audience and create greater value for shareholders! "

For a time, the entire film and television industry was once again in a state of excitement!
