China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 168 The front is tough!

"This film not only has excellent special effects, but also has a brilliant plot." As a director, Liu Dunzimo has a unique vision: "This film combines comedy, family affection, love, fairy tales, adventure, fighting and other elements. ,
  This is a typical family-friendly movie.

Now that the New Year is about to usher in, as long as "Monster Hunt" is marketed properly and is chosen on a schedule without strong opponents, it will definitely be a box office hit! "

Ni Ni agreed: ""Monster Hunt" is indeed a family movie, suitable for the whole family of men, women and children to watch.

Moreover, the protagonists of this movie are said to be Chen Xiao and I, but the actual protagonists are Huba and his fellow monsters.

With the cuteness of little Huba and the super special effects that look like reality,
  It will definitely be loved by the public and achieve outstanding box office results. "

Everyone in the audience unanimously praised "Monster Hunting".
  Seeing this, even though I knew they must be a little bit flattering about him,
  But with examples of success in his previous life, Xu Ge followed suit and said, "Okay, since everyone is optimistic about "Monster Hunt", then this film is set."

After a pause, seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Xu Ge added: "Since the final edit has been released, let's just settle the schedule and publicity together."

Glancing around the crowd, Xu Ge smiled and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions regarding the schedule?"

Xu Ge had just finished speaking, and Bai Ke was the first to speak: "It's the end of November now, and it will be December in a few days. Logically speaking, December is the most suitable month, but December already has "October" "Besieged City", "Assassin's Tomb", and "The Storm 12" are three blockbusters, and Guoshi's "Three Guns" will soon be scheduled for December.

In order to avoid losing both sides, my suggestion is to wait until after New Year's Day [-] before releasing it. "

Liu Dunzimo supported: "After New Year's Day is the Spring Festival. Apart from Fa Ge's "Confucius", there are no strong rivals in this period. It is definitely suitable for "Monster Hunting"."

"Yes, I also think that New Year's Day is the best time to schedule. December has "Three Guns", "Wind and Cloud 12", and "The Tomb", and February has "Little Soldiers", "Su Qier", and "Jinyiwei".

January is definitely the best time to go. "Ni Ni nodded in agreement.

"What's your opinion?" Xu Ge chuckled and looked at Xiao Zhang and other senior officials.

“I support the New Year’s Day release.”

"I also support the New Year's Day release."

"I agree, January is the best time."

Xiao Zhang and everyone nodded.

Seeing this and knowing everyone's thoughts, Xu Ge immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, then we will release it in December!"

Ni Ni and others: "..."

No, Director Xu, what on earth do you want to do? !

Are you really not afraid of "Monster Hunt" being a box office hit? !

Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Xu Ge couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

If others don't know, how can he not know the consequences of releasing it on New Year's Day?
  For example, throughout January, no blockbuster, including "Confucius," which had previously been highly anticipated, had a box office of over [-] million.

Even in February, Chen Long's "The Little Soldier" and Yuan Heping's "The Golden Guard", which had hoped to break 2 million, only had a box office of about 1.5 million.

This in the end is why?

The reason is simple, because on January 1th, "Avatar" was released...

I believe there is no need to say more about the influence of "Avatar".

Although Xu Ge was once so confident that he thought about confronting the truck driver,

But when he thought of the horror of this movie, Xu Ge quickly gave up the idea.

Xu Ge knew clearly that if "Monster Hunt" wanted to win the annual championship, it had no choice but to schedule it in December.

In front of "Avatar", Guoshi's "Three Guns" and Chen Kexing's "October Siege" are scum.
  Not to mention "The Storm 2", which has terrible special effects.

"Xu Ge, don't act out of emotion." Faced with Xu Ge who was determined to go his own way, others did not dare to persuade him, but Ni Ni dared to say: "I know you want to prove yourself, but "Monster Hunting" is too important to allow any loss.

Wait for next time, next time we will compete with him head-on, we will not miss this little time. "

Ni Ni obviously misunderstood Xu Ge, thinking that he was young and energetic, and wanted to show off his power by confronting the Imperial Master head-on.

Although this was not the case, Xu Ge couldn't argue with them.

When he thought of this, Xu Ge said directly: "This matter is settled, I have made up my mind! No need to say any more!"

Ni Ni wanted to persuade her again, but seeing that Xu Ge had already made up her mind and there were so many people present, she swallowed back the words she was about to blurt out.

She made up her mind that when there were no outsiders at night, she would always find a way to enjoy the pillow breeze, and she would never let Xu Ge have his own way.

"Old Xu, big news, "Three Guns" is officially scheduled!"

At this moment, Bai Ke took out his mobile phone. He clicked on the screen and opened a piece of breaking news: "The National Preceptor just held a press conference for "Three Guns" in the imperial capital. Zhang Weiping announced that it will be officially scheduled to land at 12pm on December 11th. Nationwide!”

Xu Ge took his phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "It's just the right time!"

No way? Isn't that what he wants? !
  Ni Ni knew Xu Ge very well. When she heard his words, she realized Xu Ge's plan by reflex.

really,

Next second,
  Before she could ask a question, Xu Ge smiled directly at everyone: "Everyone, get ready. A press conference will be held tomorrow. Our "Monster Hunt" will also be officially released on the 11th!"

Ni Ni: "..."

Bai Ke: "..."

Everyone in the meeting: "..."

.......................................

Since last year's Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou's reputation as a national teacher has spread all over the world.

What is a national teacher? That is the master of a country, how can it be called by ordinary people?
  At this time, the reputation of the Imperial Master was widely spread throughout the world.

In Daxia, it is absolutely undisputed Nanbowan!
  When "Three Guns" was announced to be released on December 12th,
  Suddenly, as if it had been agreed upon, all new films expected to be released in December have collectively been officially announced.

先是三部大片之一的《刺陵》官宣定档12月9号，然后《风云2》定档12月10号，再然后是《十月围城》定档12月17，

Other short films are either arranged at the beginning of the month or at the end of the month.
  In short, no other movie dares to be released on the same day as "Three Guns".

The power of the national master is so terrifying.

However, at this time,
  At ten o'clock in the morning that day, Xu Ge officially held a press conference for "Monster Hunting" in the Jinling Hotel.

"Lao Meng, are you here again?"

"Yes, Xu Ge's new film, how could I not come?

Since the release of "Happy Family" at the beginning of the year, Lao Meng has become a loyal fan of Xu Ge.

As soon as he heard that "Monster Hunt" held a press conference, he immediately flew from the imperial capital to Jinling.

"Lao Meng, do you think Xu Ge will also be scheduled for December?"

"It's hard to say," Lao Meng shook his head and said, "According to normal people's logic, there are so many blockbuster new movies released in December, especially when the National Master personally takes part.

Ordinary people will definitely not choose this schedule.

But Xu Ge is no ordinary person. How old is he?

Have you ever seen someone who became a top director in China at the age of 23? Such a proud man must have arrogance in his heart.
  Even if he announced today that it will be released on December 12th, I wouldn’t be too surprised. "

"Tch, Lao Meng, are you flattering Xu Ge a little too much?" Old friend Lao Meng did not agree with his point of view: "I admit that Xu Ge is indeed very good, he is also very young, and he is also very arrogant. Naturally, I believe it will be released in December.

But when you said he would set the date for December 12th, I wouldn’t believe it even to death!
  Who filmed "Three Guns"?
  That's the national master!
  As long as Xu Ge doesn't have water in his head, it's absolutely impossible to compete with him head-on! "

"I'm just saying it's possible, don't be so excited." Lao Meng explained softly.

"How about we make a bet?" Friend Lao Meng said with a bad smile: "Bet on whether Xu Ge dares to block December 12th. If he dares, I will send you a bottle of Feitian.
  If he doesn't dare, how about you pay all the bills for the karaoke tonight? "

"Fuck! If you really want me to be taken advantage of, just say so. Why do you have to go round and round to find an excuse? It's so obvious that you want to trick me. I'm not that stupid. I won't be fooled by you!"

Lao Meng shook his head and refused.

At his age, face has become irrelevant.
  I finally saved some private money without telling my wife.

He didn't want to have them all taken away by the princesses in a fit of anger.

Although he has great confidence in Xu Ge, if he were to use himself to save others, it would be impossible for him to confront the national teacher head-on.

The risk of a head-on confrontation is too high. Even if he wins, Xu Ge will definitely soar into the sky.
  But what if you lose?
  If not, you'll be drowned in spit.

"Lao Meng, don't refuse in a hurry," said old friend Lao Meng in a seductive manner: "My bottle of Feitian is 375, and the most important thing is that it is [-] years old."

what?
  Feitian 2 in 375 years?

Damn you, you are really willing to spend a lot of money just to defraud me of this little private money!

As we all know, wine pays attention to its vintage. Although the 375-year-old Feitian [-] has not yet reached its peak price of [-] yuan after ten years,

But today in 5, with a bid of [-], there will definitely be wine lovers snapping up it.

Lao Meng has three major hobbies: smoking, drinking, and watching movies;
  Among them, watching movies ranked first, and drinking alcohol ranked second.

As a complete drunkard, it is absolutely difficult for him to resist the temptation of 2 years of flying sky.

"How about it? Lao Meng, give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. Didn't you say how awesome Xu Ge is?
  If he really wants to step on the National Master and announce that "Monster Hunt" will be released on December 12th, wouldn't you make a lot of money? "

"Fuck! You stupid old Cao! You have to force me, right?! OK! I'll bet with you!"

Lao Meng was forced into a corner and suddenly jumped over the wall: "But I agreed beforehand that I only have 500 yuan. If you exceed the limit tonight, I will not be responsible for paying the bill!"

"Enough, enough! 500 is definitely enough!" Lao Cao rubbed his hands excitedly: "Go sing K first, then pinch your feet... Save some money, it's definitely enough!"

In 09, Wubai Dayang had quite good purchasing power.

For another example, the national minimum wage in 09 was 850 yuan per month.

At that time, an ordinary wage earner could earn 2 to 3 yuan a month, which was considered very good.

"Old Cao, this matter is settled. If you dare to cheat, see if I can kill you!"

Lao Meng said fiercely.

"Don't worry, even if you kneel down and beg me now, I don't think you will regret it." Lao Cao smiled lightly: "After all, in today's society, there are not many stupid people like you... Bah, there are really not many good people."

Lao Meng: "..."

The two have been friends for many years, and bickering with each other is common.

Lao Meng has a very good mentality. Of course he knows that he will lose this bet [-]% of the time.

but it doesn't matter,
  Anyway, he originally planned to ask Lao Cao to sing and pinch his feet tonight.

If he loses, the most he can do is ask him to come back next time.

What if we win? Didn't he make a lot of money? !

Xu Ge, Xu Ge, I hope you will be younger and more energetic. It is best to drink two more glasses of wine.

Everything will be easier this way...

Lao Meng was secretly thinking about the bottle of 2-year-old Feitian.

As time approaches here,
  Xu Ge led the main creators of "Monster Hunt" to appear at the press conference.

I saw Xu Ge, Ni Ni, Chen Xiao and Zhang Yi.
  Entertainment reporters swarmed up.

"Director Xu! Is "Monster Hunt" planned to be released in December?

Do you have the confidence to compete with the National Master and others? "

"Director Xu, Director Xu! What are your expectations for the box office of "Monster Hunt"?
  Is it really the legendary one billion? "

"Ni Ni, I heard that you are the absolute heroine in "Monster Hunt". How do you feel about your first time playing such a costume role?"

"Chen Xiao, not long ago, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Wei Wei" became big hits one after another. You have now become the most popular male artist in the Daxia film and television industry this year.
  Now that "Monster Hunt", with you as a lead actor, is about to be released, how come your career is so smooth?

Why does Xu Ge prefer you so much?

Is it the same as what the legend says..."

"Zhang Yi, what do you think about playing the villain this time?

Will you continue to play the villain in Xu Ge's next movie? "

"..."

"Director Xu, there are already four blockbusters in December, including "The Tomb Raider", "The Storm 2", "October Siege" and "Three Guns". Do you dare to release your "Monster Hunt" in this schedule?"

"..."

It has always been the style of entertainment reporters to watch the excitement without getting too involved.

When they saw Xu Ge and others, they all tried their best to dig holes, hoping to get more explosive news.

Seeing this, Xu Ge directly chose to satisfy them.

"Dear journalists, I invite you all to come here today. There is nothing else to do. It is purely to announce the final release of "Monster Hunt"."

Xu Ge waved to the entertainment reporters to be quiet, walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and under the watchful eyes of Ni Ni and others,

Xu Ge chuckled and said: "The shooting of "Monster Hunt" started in April and ended in November. It took a full eight months and was finally officially completed."

"The film was submitted for review yesterday, and all investors and creators have unanimously agreed. All preparations for the release have been completed."

paused,
  He looked around at Zhongyu Ji who looked expectant, and then glanced at Ni Ni who looked worried.

Xu Ge directly announced solemnly: "So, I now officially announce that "Monster Hunt" is officially scheduled for December 12th!"
