China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 170: Simultaneous filing

Jiang Wen has a bold personality and a clear distinction between love and hate. Seeing Xu Ge, a little brother and investor whom he had hit it off with, came to ask for help, he immediately nodded and agreed.

While he was taking action, he also grabbed Fa Ge and Uncle Ge.

These two guys are there, and it would have been difficult for Xu Ge to move them.

But Jiang Wen spoke up for him, and soon the two of them decided to be a favor and promote "Monster Hunting".

In addition to the above three people, Xu Ge also found the Wang brothers.

"Monster Hunt" has Huayi's investment, and its success or failure is related to Huayi's vital interests.

The Wang brothers agreed with great dignity and ordered their subordinates Li Bingbing, Zhou Gongzi, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and other celebrities to cheer for Xu Ge.

In addition to Xu Ge's own three beauties who are already famous, plus the three male gods Zhang Yi, Chen Xiao and Luo Jin,

Suddenly, "Monster Hunt" returned to the public eye again.

【Excuse me! Jiang Wen strongly supports Xu Ge, saying "Monster Hunt" is the hope of Daxia movies. 】

[Yesterday, at the filming site of "Let the Bullets Fly", Fa Ge was interviewed by reporters. He was full of praise for Xu Ge and expressed his great expectations for the upcoming latest movie "Monster Hunt". 】

[Uncle Ge issued an article to support "Monster Hunt" and praised its special effects level as being comparable to Hollywood blockbusters! 】

[Deng Chao posted a photo with Xu Ge on his blog. He publicly stated that "Monster Hunt" is a wonderful domestic blockbuster! 】

[Li Bingbing issued a message to support Xu Ge, saying that he was looking forward to cooperating with Xu Ge...]

[Chen Xiaoyangmi reunites, Xiao Nai and Weiwei CP team up to recommend "Monster Hunting"! 】

[Master Liu and Luo Jin reprise their role in "Jingxin", Ruoxi Fourth Master supports Xu Ge...]

【…】

"Good guy, is this really a front-on affair?"

"Are Xu Ge and Zhang Guoshi trying to start a fight?

The momentum between the two sides is so amazing that most of the big names in the entertainment industry have joined both sides. "

"I don't know who will win between the two in the end?"

"I bet a dime that the national master will definitely win!

After all, the national master is the national master, and "Three Guns" will definitely be able to stabilize "Monster Hunt" in the end! "

"I bet 15 cents, Xu Ge wins!

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I think Zhang Guoshi may not be able to defeat Xu Ge for sure. With Xu Ge's strength, he is very likely to perform a miracle again! "

"Tch, the person upstairs is Xu Ge's agent, right? With the strength of the national master, how can Xu Ge be his opponent?

"Three Guns" will definitely beat that "Monster Hunt"! "

"Fart! Xu Ge's movies and TV series have even been invested, and he has never failed until now!

And what about the national preceptor? Although the overall quality of the movies he made in his early years was very good, now one is not as good as the other.

After "Hero", the ratings of "House of Flying Daggers" and "Golden Armor" have been declining. I think "Three Guns" may even fall below the passing mark! "

"Support the National Master! Support "Three Guns". Xiao Shenyang is a direct disciple of Uncle Benshan. With his comedy talent, he will definitely be able to make a satisfying comedy film!"

"Support Xu Ge! Support "Monster Hunt"!

Xu Ge is my favorite director, and Ni Ni and Chen Xiao are my favorite actors and actresses.

When the three of them join forces, it will definitely be shocking! "

"Now there are good movies to watch. The whole month of December is filled with gods fighting. Now I don't have to worry about not having any good movies to watch."

"That's great. "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunt" are both domestic blockbusters. No matter who wins or loses, they are likely to break the box office record of "2012" and put this pressure on our Daxia filmmakers. Move the mountains!”

"........."

Xu Ge and Zhang Guoshi are both directors with a bottom line,

Inviting people to promote each other is a normal and fair competition, so both parties exercised restraint and did not directly quarrel with each other in public.

Without the guidance of caring people, the discussion on the Internet only stops at "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunt" itself.

All wind directions are normal.

The market needs competition.

Only competition can bring vitality, this sentence remains unchanged.

In the mutual confrontation between Xu Ge and Zhang Guoshi, the popularity of "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunting" is rising steadily.

Gradually, the promotion of the two films occupied almost half of the Great Xia film market.

For a moment, it put huge pressure on other films.

On this day, when the film schedules of "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunt" were officially announced,

All the creators of the new film that will be released at the same time were dumbfounded.

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

Baodao, Taipei, Changhong Film and Television President Office.

Bah!

"Fuck! "Three Guns" is ranked 55%! "Monster Hunt" is ranked 43%!

Give us the remaining two percent? !

Are these fucking mainland guys bullying me because the gun in my hand is out of bullets? ! " Wu squatted and slapped Q on his waist on the table. He glared with a fierce expression on his old face: "I'm in a hurry! Don't blame me for being ruthless under the gun! "

"Godfather, please don't be impatient," Jia Jingwen held Wu Quan's fat hand and advised gently: "The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. There will definitely be a way to solve the issue of the release of "Chilling"."

Wu Quan, nicknamed Guijianchou, the protector of the Bamboo Face Gang, and the president of Changhong Film and Television.

He once became famous because of the famous Jiangnan case, and later became involved in the film and television industry, founded Changhong Film and Television, and gradually became the leading film and television boss in Baodao.

After entering the new century, Changhong has developed rapidly. The TV drama industry has successively invested in and produced "Prince of Qin Li Shimin", "Young Prince Bao", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 3", "The Diaoman Princess", "Young Jiaqing" and so on, which have achieved high ratings. Excellent work.

Even the film industry has successfully produced "Slam Dunk" and "Initial D".

After Wu Guanbo tasted the success of the movie, he spent a lot of money to continue to hire Jay Chou to play the leading role. He also invited many Hong Kong and Taiwan mainland stars such as Chen Daoming, Lin Chiling, and Eric Tsang to provide supporting roles. Zhu Yanping, a well-known director, serves as the director.

Spending a lot of NT$4 million (approximately 9 million yuan) to create the adventure blockbuster "Chilling"!

He was confident that he would enter the film industry and had already announced that it would be released on December 12th, but unexpectedly he received such bad news.

Between grief and anger, he almost lost his temper and wanted to repeat what happened 30 years ago, and let people see how miserable he was!

"Daddy, it's okay. Please drink a cup of tea first and don't get too angry." Jia Jingwen leaned close to Wu Quan affectionately and thoughtfully picked up the tea cup and fed him a drink.

"Wenwen, you'd better be nice to your godfather." Wu Quan held Jia Jingwen's white and tender hand tightly, took a sip of the tea she brought to his mouth, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Godfather~ You are my godfather~ If I am not good to you, who will be good to you~" Jia Jingwen said in a cooing voice. As soon as her pure Baodao accent came out, Wu Quan's anger immediately dissipated. He hugged his goddaughter tightly and kissed her on the face: "Good boy Wenwen, my godfather likes you the most."

"..."

"Mr. Wu, why don't we raise the file?" Facing the strong father-daughter relationship between Wu Quan and his daughter, Zhu Yanping didn't look away. He said calmly: "Zhang Yimou and Xu Ge are from mainland China. They have great reputations." It's so big that it's simply unrealistic to compete with them for filming.

So the only solution for now is to increase the release date, otherwise "The Tomb" will definitely fail at the box office! "

Zhu Yanping was Wu Quan's head director at this time. Faced with his suggestions, Wu Quan did not dare to ignore his suggestions.

Letting go of his goddaughter, Wu Quan silently took a sip of tea and asked, "Then when are you planning to go?"

"No. 12!" Zhu Yanping said directly: "Throughout December, "The Storm 2" is scheduled to be released on the 10th, "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunt" are scheduled to be released on the 11th, and "October Siege" is scheduled to be released on the 17th.

Therefore, only the No. 1 schedule is most suitable for us.

From the 1st to the 11th, there are eleven days in between for us to harvest the box office.

As long as we can seize this opportunity and have a box office of over 100 million in these ten days, even if "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunt" are so good in the future, they won't have much impact on us. "

"What about "The Wind and Cloud 2"? This is the sequel to "The Wind and Cloud" by Andy Lau, and it also has Kevin Cheng, Aaron Kwok and Simon Yat-wah. If it also gets blocked and becomes a box office hit, wouldn't we be doomed?" Wu Quan asked solemnly.

"If Liu Weiqiang continues to be the director of "The Storm 2", then I would definitely not dare to choose this date, but he is not the director of this movie." Zhu Yanping said with a smile: "Without him, "The Storm 2" would be an empty shell. , it has only appearance and special effects but no substance. Even if this film is scheduled to be on the same schedule as ours, there is absolutely no way it can be our opponent."

As a popular director of Hong Kong films, Liu Weiqiang's ability should not be questioned.

"Feng Yun 2" originally wanted to ask him to be the director, but "You Long Xi Feng" was defeated by Xu Ge head-on. Liu Weiqiang wanted to avenge his shame, so he invested heavily in "Feng Yun", but he had no time to think about it, so he turned down the offer. project.

"Are you really so sure? If it is released on the 1st, there will only be two days. Is it too hasty?" Wu Quan asked half convinced.

"Mr. Wu, do we still have a choice now?" Zhu Yanping said with a smile: "If we don't choose this time, we can only postpone it to after January next year.

Competition is also fierce in January, so we can only leave it up to fate to see how "The Tomb" performs in that time slot.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to take advantage of this moment and give it a try.

If we win, won't everything be solved? "

Wu squatted down and lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. While taking care of his goddaughter, he thought deeply.

After thinking about it, he finally took back his fat hand, put out the cigarette butt, and said fiercely: "Okay! That's it!"

"Mr. Wu is wise."

"Director Zhu, I'll leave it to you to pick up the release date. In terms of publicity, I will add another five million in promotional expenses. We must make the box office of "The Tomb" exceed 2 million in the first week of its release! The total box office will exceed million!"

"Yes, Mr. Wu." Zhu Yanping nodded, glanced at Jia Jingwen who had no intention of leaving, and told him to leave knowingly.

After Zhu Yanping left,

Jia Jingwen obediently sat on Wu Quan's lap and said softly: "Godfather, thank you for your hard work. Wenwen can give you a massage."

"Haha, you are still my good daughter, I know I feel sorry for my godfather," Wu Quan dribbled the ball with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Don't worry, after "Chilling" is a big success at the box office, I will make one next year. It’s a big production and you will be the heroine.”

"Thank you, godfather~" Jia Jingwen kissed Wu Quan happily, and then massaged Wu Quan's head carefully.

Pressing and pressing, slowly, her hand slid down step by step, and finally pressed where it should be...

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

Xiangjiang, Universal Movies, Chairman's Office.

"Director Peng, these mainland guys are going too far. Our film schedule on the 2th is less than %?!" Lin Xiaoming said angrily on the boss's chair: ""Wind and Cloud " was created by Huanyu with a heavy investment of million. There is no way I would accept such a schedule!"

Lin Xiaoming, Chairman of Universal Films.

Not many people may know his name, but almost no one has watched Xingye's "Shaolin Football", which he invested in and produced.

As one of the few remaining major film companies in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaoming is ambitious and wants to restore the glory of Hong Kong films.

It's a pity that except for "Shaolin Football", he failed to produce another truly influential movie.

"Wind and Cloud 2" is his hard work this year. How could he accept the tragic ending of being crushed by Xu Ge and Zhang Yimou?

"Mr. Lin, please raise the file." Peng Hua took a deep drag on his cigarette and suggested: "The mainland is not our territory. Zhang Yimou and Xu Ge's influence in the mainland is too great. It will definitely not work to fight head-on."

Peng Hua was originally the editor of "The Storm 1". Because Liu Weiqiang refused to be the director of "The Storm 2", Lin Xiaoming asked him to come forward.

As it relates to the future career of a director, Peng Hua dare not ignore it: "Mr. Lin, our original plan was to release it on the 10th, but there are "Monster Hunt" and "Three Guns" on the 11th, and this schedule is obviously not suitable anymore."

Shaking the cigarette ashes, Peng Hua added: "The market size is there, and it is impossible to have three blockbuster movies in the same schedule.

So my suggestion is to release it at a later date and stagger the time with Xu Ge and Zhang Yimou. "

"Then when are you planning to submit your application?" Lin Xiaoming asked.

"This matter should be done sooner rather than later," Peng Hua said decisively: "Just mention December 12st! Before "The Tomb" can react, we announced the release as soon as possible!

As long as we collect the box office quickly within these eleven days, no matter how great Xu Ge and Zhang Yimou are in the future, we will be considered a great success. "

"What if "The Tomb" is also released? This movie has Jay Chou, Chen Daoming, and Lin Zhiling. If it becomes a box office hit, wouldn't we be in a bad situation?" Lin Xiaoming asked again.

"This film is not something to be afraid of!" Peng Hua said proudly: "Zhu Yanping has long since lost his prestige. The year before last, he collaborated with Jay Chou on "Slam Dunk", although it was a box office hit, but it had a very poor reputation.

This year he wants to do it again, relying on Jay Chou's super popularity to harvest the box office.

The audience is not fools, how could they be fooled again? "

"But our "Wind and Cloud 2" is different, our special effects are quite sophisticated!

Coupled with the appeal of the "Wind and Cloud" series, Aaron Kwok and Cheng Yijian's super appeal,

I have full confidence that I will definitely defeat "Chilling"!

Beat Zhu Yanping, the king of bad movies, to a pulp! "

After hearing Peng Hua's words, Lin Xiaoming felt a little relieved.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded and said: "That's the only way it can be, Director Peng, I'll give you another 500 million in promotional expenses. No matter what, you have to make "Wind and Cloud 2" a box office hit!

My goal is not high either. As long as I can reach 2 million, I will be satisfied. "

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. The box office of "The Storm 2" is not to mention 2 million, but 3 million is not a problem! Just wait and count the money!" Peng Hua said with a confident smile.
