"Mr. Li, you should have heard the news, yes, it's the matter of the "Nine-Story Demon Tower" being raised, I won't say anything else, I just hope that Molong will be ......able to tilt "Hong Kong" in terms of film scheduling and other aspects after the release of "Nine-Story Demon Tower", for the sake of the happy cooperation with Guanglu Media."

"What? Guarantee that the first three days of the launch of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" will not be higher than 20 percent? That's really good!"

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem at all, when Mr. Li returns to the imperial capital, we will get together again!"

Putting down the phone, Wang Changtian let out a long breath, leaned his tired shoulders on the boss's chair, closed his eyes and began to recuperate......

Unfortunately, within a minute, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter!"

The person who came in was Li Xiaoping.

"Xiaoping, is there anything important?"

Rubbing his eyebrows, Wang Changtian strengthened his spirit and asked.

"Mr. Wang, I mainly want to report to you about competing for the number of films in the "Nine-Story Demon Tower". ”

"Say, I'll listen. ”

Li Xiaoping took a deep breath, opened the folder in front of her, and began to report to work.

"At present, Wanda Cinema Line insists on arranging the film schedule in accordance with industry practice, and Tianying Group ......"

"Most of the Celestial Shadow Group will give a strong recommendation, right?"

"I can't say that I strongly recommend it," Li Xiaoping continued to speak, "but they emphasize the cast and huge investment of "Nine-Story Demon Tower", all in all, ......"

"All in all, it's more optimistic than "Hong Kong", which has been in theaters for a week, right?"

"Yes......"

"Actually, it's normal," Wang Changtian's fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, "Lay's Pictures naturally has nothing to do with Tianying Group, but Lu Chuan, the director of "Nine-Story Demon Tower", is Lu Tianming's son after all, even if he was so scared that he almost jumped off the building, but in the eyes of the Tianying Group, the Lu family's father and son are more or less their own people in the system, and there is nothing strange about being biased......

"Mr. Wang......" glanced at Wang Changtian, who was obviously not in a high mood, and Li Xiaoping decided to change the topic, "You just said that you went to Molong Media in person, is there any news?"

"Speaking of Mo Long, it's the most interesting!" Li Xiaoping's words can be regarded as something that makes Wang Changtian happy, "Li Mo has promised that the number of films scheduled for the first three days of the release of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" will not be higher than 20%!"

"In the first three days, 20 percent ......" This number made Li Xiaoping gasp, "This ...... That's completely on our side!"

"That's right," Wang Changtian sighed, and said with emotion: "Even if the investment in "Nine-Story Demon Tower" can't reach 250 million, but according to my estimate, at least 150 million is appropriate, if you add publicity, the cost of reporting 200 million is not a problem, the domestic audience eats this set, Li Mo didn't even think about it, and directly agreed to my request......

"Xiaoping, we owe a lot of favors this time......"

"Yes, Mr. Wang......"

………………

If Li Mo knew that Wang Changtian was happy like this because of his promise not to ask for money, it is estimated that his expression would be very strange.

Originally, the battle between Guanglu Media and Lay's Pictures had nothing to do with him.

Even if the two families fight to the ground, it has nothing to do with him.

But Leshi Pictures ran into a pig teammate and took the wrong chess piece, and then, Li Mo decided which side to stand on.

In fact, the reason starts with the sales of copyright agents in the past of SDA Literature.

As we all know, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series was originally serialized on the Internet in the predecessor of Shengdai Literature, but at that time, Shengdai Literature was not strong enough in the industry, so the film and television copyrights of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series were still in the hands of the author himself.

After a long time, the problem arises.

A large number of influential works in the era of online literature and wilderness, the film and television copyrights are in the hands of the original authors, and they have nothing to do with Shengda Literary Wood.

The copyright sale of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is the most bizarre.

Its TV adaptation copyright is in the hands of Molong Media, but the film adaptation copyright is divided into two.

Lay's Pictures got the first four parts of the series, and Guanglu Media got the last four.

And after both parties got the copyright, they immediately released the news to the outside world, saying that their movies would be released in 2015.

That's it!

Originally, this kind of adaptation of a well-known work was to strike first and suffer later, but now there are two companies announcing at the same time, it's strange if they don't fight.

Guanglu Media is a well-known and veteran company in the industry, and the speed of preparing the project, actor selection, etc. are naturally beyond the reach of the newcomer of Lay's Pictures, so soon, Guanglu Media announced that director Wu Ershan will play the role, Chen Kun and Huang Bo will play the starring role, shoot the movie "Looking for the Dragon", and finally determine the schedule in December 2015......

At this moment, Lay's Pictures couldn't sit still.

The other family has even booked the release time, and the family is not hurrying up, let alone drinking soup, and even the bones have to be gnawed......

As a result, Lay's Pictures invested 150 million yuan, handed over the position of director to Lu Chuan, and began to shoot his own "Nine-Story Demon Tower".

In Li Mo's view, Lay's Pictures was obviously forced to mess up by the news of Guanglu Media.

Not to mention the cast, Lu Chuan, the director, is not a reliable choice.

Not only does this guy have no experience in directing commercial films successfully, but even if he is a member of the sixth generation of directors, he seems to many people to be a bit unworthy of his name.

Debut novel "Looking for a Gun"!

When I didn't look at the list of production credits, it is estimated that many people will regard this movie as Jiang Wen's work.

The reason is very simple, almost every scene in the movie has a strong Jiangwen-style imprint!

Later, "Ke Ho Xili" and "Nanjing Nanjing" took advantage of the subject matter again.

finally directed a commercial movie, and the name was weird, and the content of the movie was still messy;

If it weren't for the same schedule of "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" with the same bad quality under Li Rengang's toss, Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" would probably have made him show his original form......

Originally, Lay's Pictures didn't want to go so bare to fight with Guanglu Media, but since 2015, three-quarters of the way has passed, and Lay's Pictures hasn't even had a smooth thing, and Zhang Zhao really can't bear it.

The upper and lower parts of "Taiping Wheel" combined took 700 million at the box office, compared with the total investment of 400 million yuan, it can be said that it was a loss to grandma's family, even if Lay's Pictures only invested 30 million in it, but in the end it was only a few million......

"Why Sheng Xiaomo" didn't lose money, but it was sandwiched between "Avengers 2" and "Jurassic World", which is just a loss;

"Small Times 4", which had high hopes, was bitten into a broken sack by "Wolf Warrior" on the front, and the word-of-mouth was completely finished;

Seeing that in a few months, it will be Guanglu Media's "Looking for the Dragon", and "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is facing "Looking for the Dragon" head-on, although the gimmick is good, whether it is Lu Chuan or Zhang Zhao, they have little confidence in their own movies.

Forget it, taking advantage of the poor reputation of "Hong Kong", go up and pinch this soft persimmon......

In any case, fantasy blockbusters have an advantage over market comedies.
