This director only makes bad movies

The filming of "Dian Mother" has been completed, and the next step is to release it.

Before it is released, the schedule must be chosen carefully.

For a movie, a good schedule has a great impact on the movie, and sometimes even exceeds the quality of the movie itself.

There are countless examples of people in the industry losing money because they didn't choose the right schedule. Xu Nan didn't dare to be careless.

The filming of the film was completed at the end of April, and the post-production work was completed and it was already mid-May, which meant that he missed the good May Day schedule.

So the next choices are more limited, with only three left, one for the summer season, one for the National Day season, and one for the Lunar New Year season.

The summer season is a long season, from June to August, which is a relatively good season.

There is a seven-day holiday during the National Day period, and the movie box office is very high.

The Lunar New Year stall is also a good slot before the Spring Festival stall, but it is slightly worse than the summer stall and the National Day stall.

So Xu Nan was the first to exclude the Lunar New Year stall.

Another reason is that the Lunar New Year holiday is too far away from him now. It will take more than half a year to wait for December, and Xu Nan can't wait.

He usually releases his movies quickly after filming and doesn't want to wait too long.

That leaves only the National Day and summer holidays.

Xu Nan thought for a moment and decided to exclude the National Day schedule.

During this period, blockbusters with main themes were released, which were inconsistent with the special effects blockbuster "Dian Mu".

Another reason is that it will take less than half a year to be released, and Xu Nan doesn't want to wait.

The summer season is not bad, so why bother looking far away.

Summer time.

Xu Nan's eyes scanned the three months one by one to see if there were any strong opponents that needed to be avoided temporarily.

This kind of good schedule is not only for him, but other film and television companies are not fools either. A lot of movies are released together during this time period.

Although Xu Nan is confident in the quality of his movies, if he encounters a strong opponent, both sides will suffer.

In order to avoid this situation, he needs to carefully observe the movies released during this time period to distinguish which ones are real tigers and which ones are fake tigers.

Suddenly, he saw the name of a movie.

"Legend of the Gods"

Starring Li Lienjie, Huang Bo, Xu Jinglei, Liang Jiahui, Xiang Zuo and so on.

Xu Nan raised his eyebrows.

These are all big stars, especially Li Lienjie, who is an international star and is known as the Emperor of Martial Arts.

Other actors Huang Bo, Xu Jinglei and Liang Jiahui are also super first-line stars, and they are all at the level of movie kings and queens.

The cost of this movie reached an astonishing 500 million, and it is claimed to be the first mythical blockbuster in China.

the name.

And this lineup gave Xu Nan a feeling of déjà vu.

He took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet carefully for news about "Legend of the Gods", and even made a few calls to ask friends in the industry.

That's right.

This movie is produced and distributed by the famous film and television company Xinghai Film and Television.

This is not the point. The point is that this actor named Xiang Zuo is the son of the boss of Xinghai Film and Television.

Therefore, this movie is specifically used to praise his son, and these actors are all invited to support Xiang Zuo.

This movie reminded Xu Nan of the same movie about the Apotheosis of the Gods in his previous life. That movie was very similar to this movie. It also had a gathering of big names, and it was also for the purpose of praising his son, and then he went on the street in a gorgeous way.

I feel like a soft persimmon.

Xu Nan looked at the schedules of several other movies and made a quick decision after confirming that there were no strong opponents.

He set the movie's release date on July 20th.

The release date of "Legend of the Gods" is July 13th.

The films were released seven days apart to give themselves a little leeway to avoid surprises.

After all, he is a big shot in the industry, so he has to look down and see you again, so it is better not to release it on the same day, so as not to make it unpleasant when you meet him in the future.

Determining the schedule is not something Xu Nan can just slap on his head. Instead, it needs to be reported to relevant units and the theaters must be contacted.

This series of actions cannot be hidden from anyone at all, not to mention that "Dian Mu" cost 600 million and was directed by Xu Nan and starred by Liu Yifei. It is inherently eye-catching.

Soon the circle got relevant news.

"Hey, you know, "Dian Mu" is scheduled to be released on July 20th."

"It's summer time."

"Normally, this period is really good. Although it is slightly worse than the Spring Festival period, it is also one of the best periods in a year."

"The main reason is that students are on vacation. This group of young people is the main movie-watching group. They have time off, and the market has improved a lot."

"I discovered that there are quite a few big productions scheduled for the summer. I know of several of them alone."

"No one wants to miss the summer schedule. This is already good. If it were switched to the Spring Festival schedule, it would be a battle of the gods, with top big productions fighting face to face."

"Based on the previous work "The Eyed Man", "Dian Mu" is worth watching."

"That's hard to say. Don't forget that Xu Nan has convulsions from time to time. You have no idea what kind of movie he will make."

"With a big production costing 600 million, Xu Nan can't possibly go crazy."

"Who can predict Xu Nan's behavior."

People in the industry attach great importance to the release of "Dian Mu" in the summer. After all, it is Xu Nan's movie, and it is also a special effects blockbuster, which is very rare in China.

Xinghai Film and Television also quickly received relevant news.

For this reason, the company boss Xiang Qiang specially held a meeting.

"It will be released on July 20th."

"A week later than our movie."

"This will affect the box office of "Legend of the Gods"."

"There's no way, there's no way there will be no competitors in the summer season. Seven days apart is already good, so the impact won't be too big."

"Our movies are not bad either. There is nothing to be afraid of in "Dian Mu"."

Xinghai Film and Television has full confidence in "Legend of the Gods". This is a movie directed by Xu An, starring Li Lianjie, Huang Bo, Xu Jinglei, Liang Jiahui and many other movie stars. It has a top-notch lineup and an aircraft carrier-like existence.

Electric mother?

There's really nothing to be afraid of.

Xiang Qiang smiled.

"Legend of the Gods" is a movie he specifically used to praise his son. In order to make his son's stardom smooth, he invited the best director, the best actors, and the film quality was also the best.

It doesn't surprise him that there are big productions competing in the same schedule. In a good schedule, there are many movies competing for it.

"Dian Mother" is a strong opponent, but not enough to scare him.

Moreover, Xu Nan scheduled "Dian Mu" to be released on July 20th, which gave him a different taste.

Why didn't Xu Nan dare to release the movie on July 13th, the same day as "Legend of the Gods"?

Is it because he is afraid? Is it because this movie has shortcomings? Just like "Legend of Sword and Chivalry" and "Captain of China", it is not as strong as he boasted.

This guess has no basis, but looking at Xu Nan's past experience, it is inexplicably credible.

Most of the films Xu Nan made during his directorial career were bad, and only a few were masterpieces.

There is a high possibility that "Dian Mother" is a bad movie.

Xiang Qiang suddenly became energetic.

He told his employees: "I plan to move the schedule of "Legend of the Gods" back and release it on July 20th."

"What do you think?"

The employees’ eyes all lit up.

"The boss is wise."

"Two major productions are released on the same day, which can effectively stimulate the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, enhance the overall movie market, and thus achieve higher box office."

"If it is released on the same day, it will not only crush "Dian Mu", but also avenge the original "Tianji"."

"A movie like "Legend of the Gods" really needs a big production as a stepping stone, and "Dian Mother" is perfect."

Employees were flooded with flattery.

Xiang Qiang smiled.

Everyone supports it.

His decision was wise.
