Chapter 758: Prelude to the Great War (Part II)
Beijing, Shenggao Pictures.
Shenggao Pictures is a newly established film company at the beginning of this year, a subsidiary of Shenggao Media, although it has just entered the industry, but the first investment project has caused considerable repercussions in the circle.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Yong, the founder of Shenggao Media, was formerly the general manager of Dream Media, and a few years ago he jumped out of Dream Media with a group of henchmen and almost knocked Dream Media into a place of no return.
Since then, Dream Media and Shenggao Media have become rivals, and the contradictions between the two sides are completely open, and there have been several competitive conflicts.
Before Luo Kai joined Dream Media, in the battle with Shenggao Media, Dream Media had always been at a disadvantage, and then things changed dramatically.
Today, in terms of scale, strength and influence, Dream Media has surpassed Shenggao Media.
Gao Yong, who has always regarded Li Mengru as a thorn in his side, is of course unwilling to do so.
With an investment of 130 million, "Hero Boy" is Gao Yong's weapon to defeat Dream Media, this film is adapted from a famous feature, not only has a number of film companies participate in the investment and production, but also invited more than a dozen stars to join, which can be described as a strong lineup.
Responsible for directing "Hero Boy" is the famous director Shao Honghui, Shao Honghui was previously signed under Dream Media, and after his "Chasing the Murderer" was released and successful, he was dug up by Shenggao Media with a lot of money.
Gao Yong was very proud of this, feeling that he slapped Li Mengru hard, but this was far from enough, he wanted to compete with "Hero Boy" and Dream Media's "Across the Seas" to see who was the box office champion of the National Day prime time.
"Hero Boy" VS "Across the Seas", the decisive battle for the National Day prime time is undoubtedly a remarkable event in the film industry recently, and the grievances between Shenggao Media and Dream Media are well known in the circle.
And "Hero Boy" was completed earlier than "Across the Seas", and the post-editing work has been completed so far, and a large-scale publicity offensive is about to be launched.
In addition to Gao Yong, Shao Honghui and other people from Shenggao Media, there were more than a dozen representatives of co-investors and personnel from the marketing and publicity department of Shenggao Pictures.
Gao Yong also serves as the general manager of Shenggao Pictures.
It's just that the general manager's face is not very good-looking at the moment, and the gloomy dark clouds are shrouded, which makes the atmosphere in the entire room depressing.
"I've seen the official trailer for "Across the Seas"..."
He said: "If you have any thoughts and opinions, just say them here, we are all partners, and we should work together at critical moments." ”
Behind Gao Yong is a projection wall, and the freeze-frame picture on the screen is the last frame of the latest trailer of "Across the Seas", and the large words "10.1 National Grand Release" are particularly eye-catching.
The National Day of "Across the Seas" has been announced a long time ago, which is not news, and the release date of "Hero Boy" happens to be on the same day!
Gao Yong put "Hero Boy" in the National Day file to compete with "Across the Seas", and his intention could not be more obvious.
If a day ago, he was still full of confidence in "Hero Boy", then after watching the official trailer of "Across the Seas", his heart seems to be clouded.
Not only Gao Yong, but also several investors of "Hero Boy" are also worried, and there are some strange voices in the cooperative team, which will inevitably affect the upcoming publicity work.
That's why we have today's meeting.
The discussion is about whether "Hero Boy" should be rescheduled.
"I don't think we need to fight each other..."
As soon as Gao Yong's words fell, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses spoke: ""Hero Boy" must ensure a box office of 400 million to return to its original cost, and if it is a lose-lose fight with "Across the Seas", it will only be a cheap Yankee." ”
The middle-aged man is a representative of Silver Horse Pictures, which has a 20% investment in "Hero Boy" and many of its actors participated in the filming, so he is quite cautious.
At present, there are a total of three blockbusters scheduled for the National Day, in addition to "Hero Boy" and "Across the Seas", there is also "Speed 3" produced by Columbia Pictures.
"Speeding 3" is the third part of the "Speed" series, the first two parts of this series are very successful, the global box office reached 400 million and 500 million US dollars respectively, and the domestic box office also has a good performance.
The representative of Silver Horse Pictures means that "Across the Seas" and "Speed 3" will be scrambled, and its own "Hero Boy" will be raised or delayed, and there is no need to be rash.
The "spirit" here naturally refers to Gao Yong's "spirit".
The original investment of "Hero Boy" was 130 million, but it was added to 160 million in the later stage, because the star lineup was strong, and the actors' salaries took up a considerable budget.
The production cost is 160 million, and the publicity is at least 30 or 40 million, and according to the total cost of 200 million, the 400 million box office return is the most basic, and the pressure is quite large.
"That's right, harmony makes money. ”
"I think it's a good choice to release it early. ”
"I also support the rescheduling..."
Others gossip, and most people support changing the release date of "Hero Boy".
According to previous market data, the film market during the 10-day holiday is becoming more and more popular, much stronger than the later New Year's Day schedule.
Gao Yong released "Hero Boy" on the National Day, and he also hoped that Shenggao Pictures' first shot would be launched, and it would be beautiful and exciting.
Of course, competition is inevitable, and defeating Dream Media is also one of his dreams.
It's just that he didn't expect that the battle hadn't started yet, and his teammates all began to coax, completely lacking their previous confidence and courage, and they all shouted to change gears.
Simply because of the 120-second trailer!
Gao Yong wants to vomit blood when he thinks about it, he never thinks that his "Hero Boy" is worse than "Across the Seas", it is nothing more than the latter's trailer gimmick, but "Hero Boy" is stronger than the opponent in terms of investment and lineup.
"Overdrive 3" can't fight normally, how to practice "Across the Seas" are afraid?
Gao Yong wanted to pat the table and tell these "pig teammates" that his decision would not change.
But he could not ignore the voices of these partners, who would have been hard to bear if they came together to put pressure on him, and it would have affected the propaganda work.
After repeated weighing, Gao Yong gritted his teeth and said, "I agree with you!"
