Chapter 424 Are you worthy?

He Ping'an, the second-in-command of the audit department, was stuffing tea leaves into his teapot at the moment.

After hearing the knock on the door, he said angrily: "Come in."

People who have been on the battlefield are just different. Even if they are older, their body shape, eyes, or the tone and tone of speech will be different from ordinary old people.

Zhong Lin pushed the door open with a folder. Inside was the basic information on "The Return of the Great Sage".

"Zhong Lin, sit down, sit down." He Pingan said with a smile.

After Zhong Lin sat down on the small sofa, she put the folder on the table and said, "I reviewed a big animation movie sent by Luo Mo yesterday, called "The Return of the Great Sage."

"The Return of the Great Sage? What Great Sage, Monkey King?" He Pingan muttered the title of the film.

"Yes, it's about Journey to the West." Zhong Lin said.

He Ping'an nodded and said, "Let's just get to the point."

He glanced at Zhong Lin and said, "Is there something wrong with this film that you dare not complain about, or is it something else?"

Zhong Lin said honestly: "There is nothing wrong with the film, not at all."

"The reason why I want to say this specifically is because of a person in the production list..."

"Little grandpa, you should be interested in this person." Zhong Lin said.

"How many times have I told you, don't call me grandpa in the workplace." He Ping'an glared at her and helplessly opened the folder and looked at it.

He glanced down and was slightly startled when he saw a name.

"Huang Lun?" He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhong Lin.

"Yeah." Zhong Lin smiled and nodded.

He Ping'an couldn't help but sigh: "I thought this old guy would never leave the mountain again in this life."

At that time, "Journey to the West" was a huge success. Not only did it receive an enthusiastic response domestically and became a childhood memory for several generations, it also won several international awards and had a strong influence throughout Asia.

Later, when the era of movies came, Huang Lun wanted to make a movie about Journey to the West, and He Pingan also used some personal connections to help him matchmaking.

But in the end, the project never got off the ground.

Huang Lun definitely didn't want to have a little fight and just do it for fun.

But no one is willing to invest in larger investments.

You said that the cost of foreign animation movies is high, but they can make back the money.

Looking at the domestic market, it has not yet become a climate, and it is not the time to operate like this.

You are a master, that's right.

But we are businessmen.

Later, as Huang Lun retired, this incident was gradually forgotten by most people.

But He Ping'an still remembered it.

"Luo Mo can actually impress him?" He Ping'an said with a smile.

"The movie is very good, do you want to watch it?" Zhong Lin asked.

"No need, I'll go to the theater to watch it then." He Ping'an said.

……..

……..

"The Return of the Great Sage" passed review.

The efficiency of this review has left countless people in the industry stunned.

"How did you get through the trial at such speed?"

"Speechless, my movies have been stuck for three months."

"Was your film produced under the guidance of the censorship department?"

The review of "The Return of the Great Sage" means that it will be released next.

Many people in the film circle are curious about which schedule this Chinese comic film, which has the largest investment in history, will be scheduled?

The most recent popular ones are New Year’s Day and Spring Festival.

After that is the so-called Valentine's Day period, which is more suitable for romance movies and is not a popular period.

"The Return of the Great Sage" has been placed on the New Year's Day schedule. As a New Year's Eve movie, it is actually a bit rushed.

The publicity cycle will be relatively short, which is not bad.

After all, long cycles have long-cycle propaganda methods, and short cycles also have short-cycle operation methods.

The most important thing is that some movies have already been scheduled for New Year's Eve.

Although it is not "full" yet, if you join in in such a hurry now, you will be relatively weak in the film schedule.

You can still squeeze, but you can only squeeze inward.

No matter how much you put your hot face on a cold butt and push other people's butts in, you won't be able to push them in much.

Industry insiders who are more knowledgeable have estimated that if "The Return of the Great Sage" is really to be released on December 31, its film schedule limit will be about 10%.

For a large-scale production with an investment of over 100 million, with such a low film schedule, even if the attendance rate is very high, it will still be a big loss.

In comparison, the New Year's Eve period only lasts a few days, and the box office is mainly concentrated on December 31st and January 1st.

Later, even if your box office performance is very good and your reputation is also very good, it will not help if the theater chain increases your film schedule.

The legal holidays have passed, and good times are waiting for no one.

Especially for this kind of animated movie, if a child reads a book, you will be so confused!

Very few parents would take their children to the cinema to watch a movie at night when their children are studying...

Therefore, many people speculate that "The Return of the Great Sage" will not be considered for the New Year's Eve release.

As for the Spring Festival stall...

Who doesn’t love Spring Festival stalls?

But, to put it more harshly - are you worthy?

Yes, every Spring Festival, there will definitely be animation movies released, and theaters will also reserve part of the movie schedule to make children happy.

However, the rankings are very low.

If it is a live-action movie, if you want to get into the Spring Festival movie so temporarily, it will definitely be too late.

Anime movies may be able to get involved, but the rate of this series is definitely worrying.

If nothing else, it won’t even be 5%.

With about 3% of the film schedule, you are trying to squeeze into the Spring Festival period. Faced with a bunch of blockbuster movies and popular anime IP movies with the same theme, you are screwing "The Return of the Monkey King".

The fighting in the Spring Festival movie is too intense and is not something that a new movie star like Luo Mo should consider.

Therefore, everyone thinks that "The Return of the Great Sage" should be released on a good holiday after the Chinese New Year.

Start arranging now, and then make various connections, exchange various resources, and make some compromises. Maybe we can try out the summer stalls that are comparable to the Spring Festival stalls.

With Luo Mo's huge energy and the terrifying commercial value he carries, as long as he manages his network well and builds good relationships, he has more than half a year to plan, and it is not impossible to get an unexpected film schedule in the summer season.

possible.

The Spring Festival is too late.

When it comes to relationships, sometimes the emphasis is on "preparing for a rainy day."

If you go to find someone when trouble comes, they won't necessarily see you. The more anxious you are, the more anxious you are, the more people will try to pinch you, and the more they will want to shut you out first.

In this case, you will pay a lot of extra costs.

It is convenient and simple for you to make connections before something happens. Because at this time, it can only be regarded as making friends and pleasing others, not asking for help.

Therefore, in major group chats in the industry, many so-called professionals talked about "The Return of the Great Sage" and conducted a series of well-founded analyses, and finally concluded: "It's still early for this film to be released, so you have to wait to see it."

next year."

There’s nothing surprising about this. When it comes to movie box office, sometimes it doesn’t necessarily mean that your movie is good, but it will be high.

The right time, right place and right people are all important.

I've been hoarding it for half a year, and there's nothing special about it.

Except for some films that are in line with the trend and must be released in a hurry, otherwise they will become outdated, most people are willing to endure and wait.

It doesn’t matter if the money comes slower, I’m just afraid of losing money, I’m afraid of no money coming!

Not many people know yet that Luo Mo Studio and Tong Guang Studio, as well as some employees from Xinyu, have already been dispatched.

Because the task given by Luo Mo was very difficult and very determined: "The Return of the Great Sage will be released during the Spring Festival!"

This requires contacting multiple theaters and negotiating.
