Chapter 113 Do it!
Shao Yingxiong’s method to deal with "Riding Single" is very simple, that is, to work together. As long as he knows the schedule of the picture, he can win over a group of people to report to the Film Bureau, and then accuses the film industry of the dangers of random mobilization of the release schedule of the movie industry. This is equivalent to the persecution of one company on another company, turning the box office that should have benefited both into a bloody battle...
But, the ideas are full and the reality is very backbone.
When Shao Yingxiong once again thought about the feasibility of this method, he immediately denied himself completely and did not even contact any company.
There is no way to say this. Currently, there are only a few companies that are closely cooperating with Huayi Performing Arts Network. Xinbaoyuan is mixed on the small screen. Even if you ask someone to train them, Zhao Baogang never cared about the big screen. It is impossible for you to stand out for your company's movies because of a good relationship with Huayi, right? That's not a fool.
Xiao Ma Penteng has done a lot of things to adjust schedules. If you ask Li Ming to follow Huayi to sue the emperor, it means that you will not be able to adjust schedules in the future. If you cut off your own way out, Xiao Ma Penteng will definitely not do it, let alone your Huayi movie.
Without these two companies, it would be useless even if Light Media is willing to accompany Huayi to tie up. No two companies can win this group of efforts. Even if it is a crime, three people and more are considered a gang. Wang Zhongjun sent back the news when "Wang Gui and Anna" was about to be finished. The schedule of "Riding Single" has been set and premiered in January. It is said that the premiere will cost a lot of money. Xinhua is the rhythm of the desperate attempt to smash Lao Tozi's art film into a commercial film.
Shao Yingxiong has only one road left now, fight hard.
Can't lose yet!
At this time, Zhang Weiping began to appear frequently on the screen, always accepting various media interviews intentionally and uninterruptedly. He was obviously promoting "Riding Single Riding in Thousand Miles". Since Lao Taozi is not good at these things, he, the big boss, can only do this kind of thing.
When "If-Love" adjusted the schedule to January, "Wuji" was scheduled to January, and "The Great Sage of Love" was scheduled to January. The whole country set off a wave of publicity craze that was higher and higher than that, and even various premieres activities joined the publicity camp. For a time, the whole country pushed this movie craze to its peak at the same time, comparing creativity and financial resources to the film marketing war completely kicked off.
The war started just now, and even Shao Yingxiong felt it was a little too early. Even reporters were asking Zhang Weiping one after another: "Why are other movies hype? Only "Riding a Thousand Miles" seems too quiet?"
Zhang Weiping said indifferently: "Ying Jing? I haven't made any move yet." (The original interview sentence) The reporter continued to ask: "I heard that the premiere planning for "Riding a Thousand Miles" was left behind. Some people even claimed to have picked up the planning book and released news that because the two programs "Girls" and "Dream China" are so popular, Xinhua will invite the stars who came out of the "Talent Show" as the finale. Is this true?"
"The highlight is not necessarily the elected rookies. Some people think I will use the elected rookies such as the 'Super Girl' to perform the finale. I was wrong. This is the smoke bomb I deliberately released (almost implying Wuji). Some people specially went to the director of "Girls" to plan the premiere event. This is ridiculous. In terms of marketing strategy, even I, Zhang Weiping, dare not copy myself. Can I succeed if someone else copy me? The real event will be under the Yulong Snow Mountain in southern Yunnan, which is a large-scale real-life marketing event. The premiere will surpass "Heroes" and "Ten Sides of Ambush". Please stay tuned."
When the news came out, Shao Yingxiong was no longer nervous. Even Shao Yingxiong felt abnormal and thought about it for a long time before he understood it.
Zhang Weiping has indeed set a precedent for domestic film marketing. The premiere rate of any movie related to Zhang Yimou will always be extremely grand, but this set will always be annoying!
There is only one reason why "Riding Single in a Thousand Miles" has created such a massive premiere, that is, Zhang Weiping is unsure!!
The box office of the film market is developing according to certain rules. For example, there were not many commercial films in the mainland market in the past. That was because there were too few people who went to the cinema to watch movies. Most of the people who were willing to enter the cinema were people with certain abilities and social status (Shaolin Temple should have been considered a commercial film in that era), so art films were popular. Later, this fact changed, and more and more people entered the cinema. Feng Xiaogang also began to cultivate himself continuously for years, developing the habit of Chinese people watching New Year's movies every year, so the box office gradually rose. However, by the year, movies were already a way of entertainment for the general public. When the salary was paid, everyone thought that it was not a big problem to go to the cinema to find a movie that he was interested in, let alone watch foreign blockbusters.
At this time, there are fewer commercial elements like "Riding Single"? Will the box office driven by art forms and star effects be higher than before?
Zhang Weiping was really afraid that Zhang Yimou would lose reputation in the two commercial films "Heroes" and "Ten Faces", so he turned his head and lost the box office.
After understanding this, Shao Yingxiong became very elated when he continued to summarize "The Embroidered Spring Sword". He had Liang Jiahui as the box office guarantee, Wen Zhang, and himself and Xu Qing hooked up with the audience on the small screen. The whole storyline was very tense and the action was very distinctive. What else was there to be scary?
Sure enough, after filming "Wang Gui and Anna", Shao Yingxiong returned to Beijing, and "Riding a Thousand Miles" made schedule adjustments. The film was directly adjusted from January to January 1. Not only was it released on the same day as "Embroidered Spring Sword", but it even became the first batch of 166 digital theaters to test the waters on the big screen.
Wang Zhongjun was so anxious that his fine hair sweat was almost flowing out. It was already September now, and it was only one month before the release period. Isn’t this going to force people to fight to the death?
Wang Zhongjun quickly held a meeting and raised an issue at the meeting. What should I do!
"Mr. Wang, what else is there to ask about this?" Almost all the young and strong sects led by Shao Yingxiong stood on the same front. Although these people did not say too vulgar words, the words "dry" were almost written in the eyes of Shao Yingxiong, Ning Hao, Xu Jinglei, and Teng Huatao.
Wang Zhongjun said angrily: "Xiao Shao, that's Zhang Yimou. Feng Xiaogang back then..." He was unwilling to slap himself in front of so many people, but Feng Xiaogang did lose to Zhang Yimou at the box office.
Shao Yingxiong sat in the main seat and said, "So what? Now our company has no Feng Xiaogang, can life be too long? Mr. Wang, without Feng Xiaogang, we must hide when we see the picture of our hearts? Who sets the rules!"
The only ones who are arrogant are Shao Yingxiong. Ning Hao, Xu Jinglei, Teng Huatao and other new generation directors, even Wei Jiahui who comes across the sea basically looks at Wang Zhongjun with the same support for Shao Yingxiong. They also have to conquer their own sky and their own world. However, on the battlefield on the big screen, no one will give you the territory in vain, and there is even no division of territory on the battlefield on the big screen. So what should I do? Every company rushes to grab the opportunity after confirming the schedule, even if it is taking advantage of the situation. If you suffer losses, you have to lose your teeth and act in your stomach. This is how society is realistic. If you have the ability, don’t step out of the house.
The small screen market is different. For example, the urban emotional dramas filmed by Zhao Baogang must have ratings, even if the plot is outrageous; Teng Huatao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's relationship is very eye-catching, even if it is very realistic; Shao Yingxiong's period dramas, war dramas are attractive; Kang Honglei is also good at filming war dramas for you different, using a group of people to show the cruelty of war while showing brotherhood. This is the territory on the small screen, with rules and regulations.
"Xiao Shao. I have been in the big screen market for so many years, and I have all the results and experiences. Just listen to me and remove the promotion of "Embroidered Spring Sword" and tell the media that there are problems with the review and re-scheduling. We are on the market next year, and the box office will still be played. Why do you have to fight with "A Thousand Miles and Single Riding"? Even if we fight for both sides, what can we do?"
Shao Yingxiong understood Wang Zhongjun's helplessness, but from Ning Hao's eyes, Shao Yingxiong saw a sneering attitude.
"Mr. Wang, I talked to you about a question when I sat in this position. Do you still remember?" Shao Yingxiong said solemnly: "At that time, I said, what should we do if we have a dispute?"
Wang Zhongjun stopped talking.
The young and strong sects in Huayi showed their blood and a courageous aura suddenly appeared.
"Ning Hao, how is "Wulin Waizhi"?" Shao Yingxiong simply stopped discussing this matter with Wang Zhongjun. Even if Wang Zhongjun misunderstood now, he insisted on his own.
Huayi can no longer hide. You can't avoid your competitors even if you hide, so why bother?
Ning Hao supported Shao Yingxiong and said, "The filming is over. There was nothing we didn't laugh when we filmed this scene. Anyway, we were very satisfied with the shots we shot, so we are waiting to be cut now."
Shao Yingxiong nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Ma Shan made a budget for your "Crazy Gem" and gave me a lot of 6 million a minute to you. I just said this drama. As long as I only have box office, reputation, or whether I can win an award is not within your consideration. If you give me the box office, you will be a great achievement!"
Ning Hao has not lived a broad life, and he never thought that he could film the well-funded "Wulin Waizhi" after following Shao Yingxiong. Not to mention that, the boss still gave the green light to "Crazy Gem". Ning Hao remembered all this, and the rest was to repay it with the box office.
"Old Xu, have the two roles Shi Lei and Niu Pengwei decided to be actors in "Hippie Smiley"?"
When Xu Jinglei heard this, she shook her head and did not reply.
"Hurry up and set the actors out and strive to form a group with "Crazy Gem". I'm still waiting for "Hippie Smiley" to join Cannes. Look at your speed."
Shao Yingxiong continued: "Teng Huatao, you will be with Liuliu, Haiqing, and Zhang Jiayi now to make the budget for the crew of "Double-sided Adhesive". As long as the budget for "Double-sided Adhesive" is reasonable, filming will start immediately. As long as the TV series is filmed, you will be like them, and the next step is to enter the big screen."
"After meeting."
Huayi's plates are getting bigger and bigger, and Wang Zhongjun's eyes are full of concern. For a person with a family, a business and a lot of assets, Wang Zhongjun knows what satisfaction is and when to be satisfied. He is too satisfied to be Wang Jinghua's way, otherwise Huayi will not have fallen into Shao Yingxiong's hands.
He was no longer energetic and let Shao Yingxiong inject vitality into Hua Yi. Unexpectedly, almost everyone in Hua Yi is holding a lot of energy now, which makes him scared.
This is a fight. If Huayi is lucky, it would be fine if he wins one after another. Qingyun will definitely appear, but what if he fights one after another, he loses one after another? Then wouldn’t Huayi be ruined by Shao Yingxiong?
"The Embroidered Spring Sword" has snipers in "Riding a Thousand Miles" and "Hippie Smiley" has insufficient commercial atmosphere. The total investment of "Crazy Gem" is only 6 million. With these three movies, Shao Yingxiong wants to make his own world in the big screen market?
"Xiao Shao, wait, I have a few words to tell you."
Wang Zhongjun called out Shao Yingxiong who was about to walk out of the office. His eyes were flashing with worries about the future full of uncertainty.
...
Zhen Jie was also worried that Liu had delayed the TV series for too long, and even dragged her down, she had completely lost her patience.
She made Liu come out again. When the two met in the teahouse, Liu was full of apology: "Zhen Jie, I really can't hide. I haven't found the investment for the next drama for so long. Otherwise, you can terminate the contract. If I can find investment here, call you and keep the heroine's position for you. I'm sorry for you, I have delayed your repayment for so long."
Zhen Jie looked at Liu, looking at the face that should have been sincere.
"Liu, I'll ask you something now, don't hide it from me, the right to adapt the TV series of the script is really in your hands?"
The tea poured from a pot of hot tea was steaming in the tea cup. When this sentence was said, Liu took out a contract from his black leather bag: "Can this be fake? This is my buyout contract with that writer, and I threw hundreds of thousands of dollars in it inside and out. That's fine, the damn investor let all my money go. After talking to you today, I plan to look for investment. If I can't find it, transfer the contract, and don't lose too much at least."
Looking at the contract in Da Liu's hand, and even seeing the middleman writing the signature of a law firm, Zhen Jie wrote it.
Both parties signed the contract by hand. The novel version of the script has been launched and its sales in China have become so popular that it is out of stock. If Liu Huiyan bought it early, it would not be uncommon to buy such a book at a very low price, not to mention that the name on the contract is exactly the same as the introduction of the author online.
"Liu, I've invested this money."
Liu suddenly glared at his eyes and said in disbelief: "Zhen Jie, you, you, say it again."
"I said, I invested this money, isn't it just over one million?"
Zhen Jie's heart was also beating, but it has been two years since she has not found her next home. She is willing to throw herself into her either without money or having a wife. She doesn't want to continue relying on men, so she has the intention to invest in TV series.
"You mean, you are a producer, a device, an actor, a staff member, and you are looking for it again..."
Zhen Jie smiled: "I can't find it..." She sighed and said: "I have been away from this circle for several years, and now my acquaintances have changed their careers. You asked me to make equipment and were obviously cheated of money. Liu, I have never believed in anyone in my life. This time I believe you once. I want to sign a contract with you to be a producer. When you need to buy things, you come to me to get the money. However, the receipts must be complete, no problem, right?"
"The receipt is fine, but small investments in TV series are all the big investments in the early stage. You have to pay cash to find actors, and you have to ask for a deposit to find a machine. After all the money is spent, it is a hotel. For small money such as food and drink, the start-up capital will cost 800,000 or 900,000 yuan. Are you really willing to hand over this money to me?"
"It's not for you, we have to sign the contract first."
"Okay! Sign up!!!"
Da Liu's eyes were flashing with an excited light, as if he suddenly found the light when he could not see hope at all.
Chapter completed!
