China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 530 Wolverine is scheduled

That night, because Naza was still young, he could only study hard.

Instead, Liu Xinyou did some practice, not just practice, but comparison.

With just one communication, Liu Xinyou completed the experience of being with both men and women at the same time.

After a profound comparison, Liu Xinyou understood that she still liked men.

The feeling that a man gives her, to be precise, is the feeling that Zhang Nanyi brings to her, which a woman cannot give...

Liu Xinyou understood that her previous misogyny was only due to her childhood experience.

The problem she thinks she has with her orientation is also because she hasn't met the right man like Zhang Nanyi yet.

Now that she has let go of her entanglements, Liu Xinyou feels unprecedented happiness, both physically and mentally.

The same is true for Hu Jing. She has been single for a long time. When she sees so many women in the company, she is deeply in love with and obsessed with Mr. Zhang, so she also wants to experience it.

Unexpectedly, this experience definitely exceeded expectations.

As for Zhang Nanyi, he exerted himself a little bit last night, and felt refreshed and in better condition for filming the next day.

There are no secrets in the crew. The other members of the Zhen Huan Biography crew soon found out about Liu Xinyou and Hu Jing.

Hu Jing's actions stimulated Zeng Li. The two were classmates, similar in age, and both were female artists in the company.

Liu Xinyou's success stimulated Bai Bing. She felt that she was no worse in appearance than Liu Xinyou. She was also an artist of Nanyi Entertainment, but she was accidentally taken over by a latecomer.

Zeng Li and Bai Bing also wanted to add one, but there were no good opportunities.

Mainly from Zhang Nanyi's side, women come to visit the class every day.

The number of places in the small courtyard is very tight.

In this tense and exciting atmosphere, time passed quietly.

At 3:28 a.m. on March 10, Nanyi Culture and YouTube Films released news on the Internet at home and abroad respectively, announcing that the movie Wolverine will be released on April 4!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire Internet.

Wolverine himself is one of the most popular superheroes in the Marvel world and a huge IP.

When this movie was being filmed, the scene in which Zhang Nan kicked down a lamppost became popular at home and abroad, and it also triggered the imitation of many people abroad.

Up to now, Wolverine is still the most anticipated movie on major websites at home and abroad.

There have been various speculations in the media regarding the release date of Wolverine.

Everyone thought that a highly anticipated blockbuster like The Wolverine would naturally occupy the best time slot and would compete in this year's summer season.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly dropped to the end of the spring season.

It will be released on April 4, which is not a good schedule.

Moreover, Wolverine has only announced its schedule just over 20 days before its release. This operation is full of deliberateness.

Everyone also understands the reason, because just half an hour ago, the movie King of Kung Fu was finally officially announced.

The film will be released in North America on April 4th and in China on April 18th.

The King of Kung Fu has just announced its release date, and The Wolverine has followed suit. Let’s think about the feud between Zhang Nanyi and Hua Yi.

Everyone naturally understood that Zhang Nanyi was targeting Huayi.

Wolverine is waiting for King of Kung Fu to be scheduled, and then stares at King of Kung Fu to start a head-on and direct competition.

The media at home and abroad are also aware of this situation, and naturally they are rushing to report it.

Fox News: "Who is the real king of kung fu? Zhang or Double J?"

BBC: "Wolverine bites the King of Kung Fu, the kung fu battle between Zhang and Double J!"

Xinlang Entertainment: "Zhang Nanyi's domineering style is not conducive to the healthy development of Chinese films."

A southern magazine: "Wang Zhonglei: Huayi has not provoked anyone, so why is it repeatedly targeted?"

YY Portal: "The release date of Wolverine has been set for a long time, and Zhang Nanyi has a new movie in the summer."

Xiaonei.com film and television information: "Father and Daughter on Horseback is scheduled for the summer, so Wolverine is scheduled to be moved forward."

The news this time involves two blockbusters: The Wolverine and The King of Kung Fu. The protagonists are Zhang Nanyi, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Hua Yi. The topic has exploded.

In the media reports, foreigners basically watched the excitement, focusing on the kung fu battle between Zhang Nanyi and Double J. Public opinion was mostly in favor of Zhang Nanyi.

As for some domestic media, they are labeling Zhang Nanyi and complaining about Huayi.

However, netizens did not accept this, and their discussions were very lively.

"Let's fight, let's fight quickly. If Mr. Zhang is here in the entertainment industry, you won't be lonely. I am a fun person and I just like to watch fun!"

"Haha, I like it too. If you are not targeted or not, you are strong enough and the quality of the movie is good enough. Are you afraid of being targeted by others? Judging from the tone of Wang Zhonglei's interview, there is no doubt that The King of Kung Fu is a bad movie."

"I believe Mr. Zhang is not targeting anyone. Isn't this release time two days behind King of Kung Fu?"

"This is where Mr. Zhang is wrong. The time is not accurate enough. It should be exactly the same as the release time of The King of Kung Fu."

"That won't work. If Wolverine is the same as King of Kung Fu, wouldn't it mean that foreign audiences will see the movie first and domestic audiences will see it later? This double standard is not good."

"Damn it, you are serious when you say that. The King of Kung Fu is a movie co-produced by China and the United States. Why should the Americans see it first? Mr. Zhang still has the right perspective."

"Isn't the King of Kung Fu the title of Mr. Zhang? Whether at home or abroad, when people talk about the King of Kung Fu, they will think of Mr. Zhang.

Hua Yi, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie must know this situation. They still use this title to make movies and deserve to be targeted.

If Mr. Zhang made a movie called Kung Fu Emperor, what would Li Lienjie think? " Huayi is destined to die. Mr. Zhang will work harder to kill Huayi. This kind of company is a cancer in the entertainment industry. "

"By the way, will Huayi give in and directly change the schedule of The King of Kung Fu?"

"Probably not. Cheng Long and Li Lianjie also have reputations in the world. They are timid before fighting and cannot afford to lose this person.

The two of them also invested in this movie and still have some say in it. "

Because of Huayi's notoriety, most netizens support Zhang Nanyi, and they also guessed the behavioral logic of Huayi and Double J very accurately.

At this moment, in Huayi President Wang's office, the Wang brothers, Cheng Long, Li Liangjie, and Lionsgate executive Robles were discussing countermeasures.

Wang Zhonglei persuaded: "The Wolverine is, after all, a Hollywood superhero blockbuster with an investment of up to 1 million yuan. There is no need for us to compete head-on with this movie.

I think it's better to withdraw temporarily. "

The Wang brothers knew that Zhang Nanyi was thinking about Huayi, and they were worried that The King of Kung Fu would be sniped by Zhang Nanyi, so they have been keeping a tight lid on the release schedule of The King of Kung Fu.

Today is March 3th. There are only 28 days left before the movie is released. Promotion must start. Huayicai has officially announced the release date.

They just wanted to make a surprise attack and catch Zhang Nanyi off guard.

To this end, they also spent some money and signed a confidentiality agreement with the theater chain.

Unexpectedly, even after doing this, the King of Kung Fu was still targeted by Zhang Nanyi.

You must know that the investment in The King of Kung Fu is claimed to be 7000 million yuan, but in fact it is about 4 million Chinese yuan. The remuneration of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie alone accounts for close to 2 million yuan.

Of the 4 million investment, the Wang brothers themselves invested 1.8 million, which is most of their net worth.

The two of them attach great importance to The King of Kung Fu and want to make a comeback with this movie.

Once King of Kung Fu succeeds, the Wang brothers can raise funds again and embark on the capital path. If they fail, they may lose most of the money they have earned over the years.

Under such circumstances, the Wang brothers naturally do not want any accidents to happen to The King of Kung Fu, and it is normal for them to want to cancel the show.

Hearing Wang Zhonglei's words, Li Lianjie was the first to shake his head. He said: "It is not advisable to withdraw the movie now. Firstly, we have to pay the theater chain's liquidated damages, which is also a big expense; secondly, if we withdraw the movie, Wolverine can also follow. withdraw.

Zhang Nanyi had done this before when "Lust, Caution" was released. Don't underestimate Zhang Nanyi's determination.

Unless The King of Kung Fu is never released, there is no way to escape the head-to-head confrontation with Zhang Nanyi.

I think it will be fine if it is released normally. You guys have to have confidence. My eldest brother and I are two against one. I don’t believe that I can’t beat Zhang Nanyi alone! "

Cheng Long also analyzed: “Actually, it’s a good thing that Wolverine and The King of Kung Fu are released together.

April is a relatively free period, and the theater schedule is not tight, enough to accommodate two blockbusters.

Moreover, Wolverine is targeting us. This is a head-to-head confrontation between Zhang Nanyi, myself and Boss Li, a battle for the King of Kung Fu. This is what the audience likes to see.

This time, it also helped to promote The King of Kung Fu invisibly. Now many overseas audiences know about the movie The King of Kung Fu. This is a very good effect.

Therefore, I suggest that it be released according to the previously scheduled schedule, and use more of the popularity of Wolverine in publicity. "

Li Lianjie likes to be called boss very much, so when he was in Hong Kong Island, many people called him boss Li, and Cheng Long also called him the same.

Cheng Long's statement has some truth, but it is very far-fetched. Robles of Lionsgate Pictures understands Chinese. After hearing Cheng Long's words, he subconsciously shook his head, but did not refute it.

Robles has been engaged in the film distribution business in North America for nearly ten years. He knows the impact of Wolverine being released on the same schedule as The Kung Fu King.

The most direct reaction is that Kung Fu King was originally scheduled to open in 3151 theaters in North America. After Wolverine arrived, the theaters immediately made adjustments. The number of Kung Fu King theaters will be reduced by at least 1500. .

This is the real market reaction. Li Lianjie's so-called "two to one" approach is a joke in the eyes of the market.

The theater chain's reaction said it all. Two against one, they couldn't beat Zhang Nanyi.

Unless the market feedback for the follow-up Kung Fu King is very good, The Wolverine is a bad movie, and only with a reversal of reputation will Kung Fu King be able to counterattack.

Otherwise, the King of Kung Fu will only be squeezed.

In the North American market, the spring schedule is the weakest movie schedule.

During this period, various awards are presented and the finals of various sports events are held. The attention and wallets of the audience are emptied by these.

Relatively few people go to cinemas to watch movies.

There is a recognized law in Hollywood, that is, during the spring schedule, there cannot be room for two blockbusters in the same schedule.

In fact, very few super blockbusters are released in the spring.

This is why theater chains in North America quickly adjusted their film schedules because Wolverine was scheduled to be released, because many viewers in the spring release did not watch all the movies, but chose one of the two.

Robles knew about this situation, but he did not give any warning because he understood that Cheng Long and Li Lianjie also knew about the situation in the spring schedule, but they still insisted on not withdrawing the schedule, which showed that the two did not want to give in.

As for King of Kung Fu, Lionsgate is just a distribution agent, and he is just an executive. There is no need to make random comments about this matter and offend Double J.

In fact, in Robles' mind, he has already begun to plan to report to the company in time and reduce investment in publishing King of Kung Fu.

Robles has studied Zhang Nanyi's films and he has a high degree of recognition for Zhang Nanyi.

Zhang Nanyi's production must be a high-quality product. This reputation is recognized not only by domestic audiences, but also in North America and even overseas.

Wolverine is already a big IP, and Zhang Nanyi participated in the production. It is also an action movie, and action movies are Zhang Nanyi's comfort zone.

In Robles' view, Wolverine's box office will start at least 5 million yuan.

In comparison, The King of Kung Fu is simply not enough to watch, especially since he has seen the finished film of The King of Kung Fu. The fight scenes between Cheng Long and Li Lianjie can only be said to be very perfunctory, boring, and without any sincerity at all.

In the office, everyone had their own plans and people's hearts were divided. Fortunately, a consensus was reached in the end, and The King of Kung Fu was released as scheduled.
