What does Director Li mean?"

Huang Zhongjun had a cold face and looked at Li Qian with an unkind expression.

Seniority is the unspoken rule of every industry, and the film industry is no exception.

However, relatively speaking, this argument is about the director's box office appeal.

In the first half of the first decade of the 21st world, whenever Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's movies are released, there will be no big production released within a month before and after.

Whether it is the lack of movies before, the fear of big directors not daring to compete, or any other reason, but as long as their movies are finalized, other films will not be scheduled to be released in the near future.

Now that there are more movies and blockbusters produced in China every year, the competition is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not new for a blockbuster to be released every week on a good schedule.

However, even if it is a Chinese New Year file, there is no reason for the same popular films to be released on the same day.

Last year, "Thorn Tomb", "Fengyun 2", and "Three Guns" were released in the same week, which was an accident, Zhang Weiping originally talked to Yu Dong, and kept saying that he would be released at the same time as "October Siege", but he suddenly raised the file.

This pitted "Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2", the two of them had "Perfect World" in front of them, and "October Siege" in the back, whether it was in advance or postponed, it was the same, there was no way back, and they simply didn't change their days.

What's going on with this Li Qian, if it's a coincidence, but he Huang Zhongjun just said that it will be released on the 23rd of the month, and Li Qian will be released at the end of the month.

If you want to make the most of the New Year's Day holiday, the best day is on the 22nd and 23rd.

Needless to say, the first weekend and the second week were a small New Year's Day holiday, which was perfect.

On the 29th and 30th, it's about the same as a normal weekend, just one more day off.

Obviously, no one thinks that Li Qian chose this day, and Huang Zhongjun will not think so.

Sure enough, Li Qian did not explain the specific day, but was a little helpless, "Huang Dong, Han Dong, bosses, you also know that this time my "I Am a Legend" is a big production, and I have been closed for more than 20 days in the magic capital alone, because in the last days, the cityscape must not die so modern, and the special effects in this area alone will take a lot of time, let alone others." ”

"December is the focus of the Chinese New Year, why don't I want to release it at the beginning of the month, but there is really no way, besides, Director Feng's "The Great Earthquake" has just sold more than 600 million, and this good time at the beginning of the month should also be given to Director Feng. Li Qian smiled again.

Let?

Do I use you to make?

International jokes!

Huang Zhongjun was angry in his heart, where did this Li Qian come from with such a big face!

The box office of "The Great Earthquake" is as high as 670 million, throwing off all domestic films in two positions, Ma Xiaogang's new film, which round will be on the others!

Now, only others avoid Ma Xiaogang's share, and it's too late to run, who dares to come and fight hard.

However, several bigwigs in the film industry are here, and Han Sanping is still sitting in the first place, if he loses his temper, it will make people laugh.

Huang Zhongjun forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed himself down.

He said in a deep voice, "Director Li is determined to release it on the 22nd?"

didn't do any twists and turns, forcing Li Qian to make up any reason.

"Not really, Thursday the 23rd is a good day, I'm more used to showing it on Thursday. Li Qian said.

"In this case, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" will be released on the 22nd. ”

Huang Zhongjun didn't talk about it anymore, just Li Qian's stone in the pit, and his hard temper, it was impossible for him to change the time, so he simply made a decision.

"It's to accompany Director Li. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Huang Zhongjun's mouth pulled a trace of disdain.

At this time, so many people are here, even if it is for the sake of face, it is impossible to admit it.

Otherwise, you just finished saying that it will be released on the 22nd, and as soon as others say that it will be on the 23rd, they immediately change their tunes and raise the file, what is this!

can start a company with a market value of 10 billion yuan from scratch, Huang Zhongjun is not a high-spirited person, but he does not want to lose face in front of others.

What's more, having just experienced the infinite scenery of "Tangshan Earthquake", and drinking and chatting with high-ranking officials of Tangshan and even northern Hebei, Huang Zhongjun's heart has been extremely inflated.

How can the helmsman of a large enterprise with a market value of 10 billion lose face!

"Then thank you Huang Dong. Li Qian smiled and nodded.

No matter how much he has, let's not talk about whether he can catch up or not, December 23rd is the best schedule, so let's set that date.

Only three minutes have passed, and the two most popular movies in the Chinese New Year file in the second half of this year, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "I Am Legend" have been scheduled, and they will be released the day before and after.

This result was something that everyone didn't expect, originally thought that such a major event related to the market of the entire industry in the second half of the year, even if there was coordination in Han Sanping's drama, it would be back and forth arguing and negotiating, and it would be a tug-of-war.

However, it was so simply determined.

However, after the surprise, everyone else had to laugh in their hearts.

The two biggest rivals squeezed together, which is undoubtedly a big plus for other movies.

Originally, I thought that "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "I Am a Legend" would be released in early December and at the end of the month respectively.

Now the originally expected release time has to be changed, and Yu Dong and they are all thinking about what time to change.

Han Sanping was also helpless, he hadn't spoken yet, these two people, you and I, didn't say a word in total, and it was decided, it was child's play.

It's okay now, I originally wanted to coordinate it in the play, and it was beneficial for each to stagger it, but it got worse and worse, and the two most promising movies were squeezed together.

However, Han Sanping did not interfere.

Today he only acts as an intermediary, and when they are arguing and unable to determine a perfect arrangement that makes sense for all, he reconciles it himself.

The next arrangement is much smoother, the two biggest movies are confirmed, and the conflict with the others is much smaller.

""Zhao's Orphan" was released on December 4, and Director Li's "Perfect World" was also released on this day last year, and I was also touched by Director Li's joy. ”

The beginning of December, the beginning of the Chinese New Year, is exactly the beginning of the beginning of the year, and "I Am a Legend", there is no conflict, after all, the Magic Shadow Group also participated in "I Am a Legend".

"Let the Bullets Fly" will be on December 9th, for a long time, please be lucky. Yang Jiacheng said with a smile.

"Laughing Jianghu" December 3rd. Yu Dong also confirmed the release date of Bernard's only film for this year's Chinese New Year.

Last year, many blockbusters failed, and Yu Dong was much more cautious, even though "Let the Bullets Fly" No. 9 and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" No. 22, there was an interval of two weeks, but he still didn't choose that day.

I'd rather compete with "Zhao's Orphan" and "Let the Bullets Fly" than face "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "I Am a Legend".

The December movie was decided, and except for Huang Zhongjun, everyone was quite satisfied.

It's just that "Zhao's Orphan", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "Laughing Jianghu" are crowded together, and they are separated from the pile of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "I Am a Legend", which are clearly distinguished, and there is an interval of half a month.

Li Qian is also a little funny, the dignified film master Chen Kaige, who was once a man on the altar, has fallen so far that even Yu Dong dares to let a three-no movie like "Laughing Jianghu" touch it.

The arrangement of the Lunar New Year stalls was surprisingly smooth, and there was no need for Han Sanping to coordinate in the center.

However, the result did not satisfy Han Sanping, although not all of them got together, but two by two, it was impossible to win.

The discussion has to continue, on November 11th, Su Lun's "Warm and Containing Light" will be released, and several other companies have not arranged it, after all, there are two imported blockbusters "Harry Potter" and "Resident Evil" that will also be released.

And the National Day file, "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King" will be released on September 29.

Li Qian spoke again at this time, "National Day is a good day, and I also invested in an action movie "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which should be celebrated for the motherland's birthday, and it will be released on September 28. ”

I bumped into each other again, but there was no way, the National Day file could only be released at the end of September, and it was not good to be early or late.

With the previous events, it can't help but make people think about it, Li Qian deliberately got into trouble with Huang Zhongjun at this time?

However, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian are happy to see Qi Cheng, it is better to do it, it is better to have fewer opponents.

It's too much of a deception!

Huang Zhongjun scolded angrily in his heart, but he didn't bother to ask, so he stared at Li Qian with a cold face and stopped talking.

There was no quarrel, but it disappointed the others who were about to watch the play.

But when they were poured, they were troubled again.

The National Day file is not as good as the Chinese New Year, and Xu Ke's martial arts film "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" is a big hit, Liu Dehua, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, Li Binbin, Deng Chao, five first-line stars, the lineup is unprecedentedly strong.

Although this "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is only directed and acted by Wu Jing, it doesn't seem to be interesting, but after all, it is supervised by Li Qian, and with the experience of the previous few times, he doesn't dare to underestimate it.

The two hits, the National Day files are crowded, and there are fewer choices left for Guangxian, Pony, and Huanya.

I was gloating just now, but now it's my turn, and the feng shui takes turns.

In the end, Li Ming and Zhuang Cheng, president of Uniasia, looked at each other, and the "Rain of Swords" jointly invested by the two mentioned that it would be released on September 23rd, and they originally planned to release it on the 28th.

Wu Yusen supervised and co-directed, which is actually Wu Yusen's film.

The two "Red Cliffs" sold nearly 600 million, and the dignified director is now reduced to drinking soup next to him.

As for the action film "Jingwu Fengyun: Chen Zhen", which is still jointly invested by Guangxian and Uniasia, it can only be postponed to October 1.

No way, if you advance it, it will be half a month before the National Day holiday, which is too far.

After the holidays, not to mention, it is better to change to November.

No. 1 is a holiday, and Donnie Yen's fame is now second only to several veteran superstars.

Basically, the films for the second half of the year have been arranged, and Huayang also has a "New Shaolin Temple" starring Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Xie Tingfeng, and Fan Binbin is scheduled to be released on January 20.

There is a month between it and "Do Not Disturb", and a few days after a weekend is the Spring Festival holiday.

Han Sanping's expected win-win situation came to naught, and it was another cannibalism.

At the end, Li Qian remembered that he still had a film, and added, "I almost forgot, I also invested in a science fiction movie "Time Planning Bureau", which will be released on the Spring Festival, February 3, the first day of the Lunar New Year, you shouldn't need it at this time." ”

In the fourth movie, as soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

September 28th, November 11th, December 23rd, February 3rd, four movies in five months, across the national celebration, New Year's Day, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival, basically accounted for all the good schedules for the next six months.

Thinking about the movies invested and distributed by his company, there are only one or two that can mainly sell at the box office, and one company can't match Li Qian's alone.

Han Sanping couldn't look at it, coughed lightly, and reminded him.

"Director Li, didn't you say before that there are only two movies to be released for the Chinese New Year?"

There are too many movies supervised by Li Qian, and at the Magic Capital International Film Festival in June, Han Sanping asked at the time, and Li Qian said that there will be two New Year files.

As a result, now, the last one is also on the same page, four movies in half a year, and that's okay.

"The Spring Festival and the Chinese New Year are too far apart, from the beginning of the Lunar New Year, I think it is more appropriate to call it the Spring Festival stalls, and the box office of last year's Spring Festival stalls also proves that the Chinese New Year period is enough to form a popular schedule, and "Time Planning Bureau" was released during the Spring Festival. Li Qian explained with a smile.

“......”

In the past ten years, the recognized Chinese New Year stalls inside and outside the industry are from the beginning of December to the beginning of March of the following year, and to the end of the Spring Festival, these 90 days.

Now in Li Qian's mouth, the Spring Festival is not the tail of the New Year, but has become a separate schedule.

Celebrate the New Year, celebrate the new year, the Spring Festival is not counted, so what is the year.

"Time Planning Bureau" is a movie produced by Li Qian, how can everyone not understand it, starring Hu Ge, Liu Yufei, and Chen Kun, although Hu Ge is a newcomer on the big screen, but Chen Kun can match a newcomer, it must be the film itself that attracts him.

And as a director, Guo Fan's last movie "127 Hours" is quite amazing, with an investment of one million and a box office of more than 30 million, and the evaluation of Comic Valve and Time.com is also quite high, which is rare and popular.

A new film that has been made to acclaim and be a popular film director, even if it is not produced by Li Qian, no one underestimates it.

That's right, "Time Planning Bureau" and "Warm and Warm Light" are the second works of Guo Fan and Su Lun, after the big sales of the last movie, they are no longer newcomers, and they have a certain reputation in the hearts of the audience, and there is no need for Li Qian to be famous anymore.

Besides, this is their own hard-working film, and the final result should belong to them.

Li Qian's so-called Spring Festival file was released, and he said to Han Sanping before that there were only two films in the New Year file.

Han Sanping was helpless for such a cranky act, but it was impossible for him to have anything to do with Li Qian about the relationship between the New Year and the Spring Festival.

As the "mountain carving" of the film industry, Han Sanping has a transcendent status, but he will not interfere too much with other companies.

No one said anything for a while.

But Huang Zhongjun finally couldn't help it.

"I Am Legend" and "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" were released one day apart, and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" were released one day apart.

Although the "Time Planning Bureau" and "New Shaolin Temple" are separated by 12 days, they overlap during the most important Spring Festival holiday.

Repeatedly and four times deliberately provoked trouble, endured again and again, Huang Zhongjundi did not intend to endure it for the third time.

"New Shaolin Temple" also came to the Spring Festival to join in the fun. ”

After Huang Zhongjun finished speaking, he got up from the chair and said to Han Sanping, "Dong Han, the company still has something to deal with for me, so I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." ”

After saying that, he was the first to leave.

It's rare to get together, but the result is unhappy.

Li Qian was helpless, there was nothing wrong with the schedule he chose, every film was justified, and there was no intention of targeting anyone at all.

This Huang Zhongjun talked about it well, why did he suddenly spray pesticides...

No, it's a string!

Thinking of the lines and performances in Deng Chao's "Mermaid", although some places are a little embarrassing, I have to say that this film is quite funny, and some deliberately designed lines are simply amazing.

Li Qian couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, everyone shook their heads again and again.

This Li Qian, who left his popularity, laughed out, and made it clear that it was deliberate.
