Chapter 66: Troubles

China Film released many films in the first quarter of 11, but the 3D blockbuster "The Chronicles of Narnia: Dawn Treading Waves", which was highly anticipated, was dried up and sunk by the "Great Sage".

Another Hollywood 3D film "Tron War" hit the street directly. "The Battle of Los Angeles" has a decent box office, but it is the main release of Chinese films, and China Film just drinks soup.

The remaining Chinese-language films, "New Shaolin Temple" and "I Know a Woman's Heart" did not do well at the box office, and "Knife and Laughter" is a low-budget film, and it has no results.

As a result, China Film, the only film company in the mainland that has the right to import films and is also the largest film in China, actually only had one film "Wulin Gaiden" in the first quarter of 11 years to succeed at the box office, or to borrow the light of TV series fans, which is particularly embarrassing!

China Film needs performance, and leaders need face. After thinking about it, Han Dong talked to Yu Dong about Lu Lin's new film and wanted to participate in the investment. The new work of the 2 billion director should not be underestimated by anyone.

Yu Dong is domineering in his bones, but in fact, he is modest in appearance, a bit of the feeling of Jiang Tianyang, the boss of Hongxing in "Crazy Boy", most of the time he laughs in front of people, and ordinary people can't bear it.

In front of the "old leader", Boss Yu couldn't get up. Besides, the face of the "third master" can't be denied, and the recent arguments are very unfavorable to Lu Lin. If there is a "third master" to support the scene, it will still make many small people retreat.

Therefore, Yu Dong made the decision and asked China Film to participate in the investment of 30 million, and after signing the contract, the money could be transferred to the account opened by Bo Na for the crew of "Ten Cold".

As a result, as soon as the crew got the conversation through, Lu Lin went down the stairs, and couldn't help but secretly praise Yu Dong, the young man is not dizzy, and his future is limitless.

After the discussion of additional investment ended, Yu Dong watched the filming on the set again. Although he can cooperate with Lu Lin in a new film, making him the most envied person in the film and television industry, there is still some pressure in Boss Yu's heart.

This pressure mainly comes from the fear of investment, after all, Bo Na is currently producing two 3D blockbusters, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Ten Cold", which no company has dared to do so in the history of domestic films.

But the problem is that if you don't participate, if you don't take advantage of the good relationship during the cooperation period of "The Return of the Great Sage" to participate in Lu Lin's new film, it's hard to say whether there will be a chance in the future.

The net profit of a film exceeded 500 million, and a dry turnover of 60 films almost wiped out in the first quarter of 11. "National Teacher" Director Zhang didn't dare to say this, but Zhang Weiping's big mouth dared to blow anything.

The conflict between Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping has been a long time, and in 2006, Bona's "Wounded City" was released in the mainland, and "Golden Armor" met in a narrow way. At that time, Zhang Weiping signed a one-month exclusivity agreement with many theaters, and no other movies could be released within a month except for "The City Full of Golden Armor". As a result, "Wounded City" was not shallowly injured, and the box office was only 40 million yuan.

Yu Dong, who was extremely angry, publicly criticized Zhang Weiping for bullying and dominating the market, but the word protest has always been a sign of weakness. This makes Mr. Yu, who is modest on the outside and domineering in his bones, very hurt and aggrieved!

In 09, Bo Nafa's "October Siege" collided with Zhang Weiping's "Three Guns", and the box office narrowly beat more than 30 million, and it was finally a bad breath.

Now that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is in post-production, such a large investment will definitely be released in the Chinese New Year file with the highest output. However, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which was only launched in January this year, also announced that it was set for the New Year, and Zhang Weiping even shouted out the arrogance of more than 2 billion yuan in a single film.

It's really a narrow road!

Boss Yu thinks he is kind and has countless friends in the circle. Although it has a competitive relationship with Huayi, China Film, etc., it is still good in terms of face. When a blockbuster movie is released, everyone can also sit down and coordinate the schedule.

But that Zhang Weiping is too deceitful. met twice on a narrow road, and now he looked at it three times not far away, so he couldn't suppress the fire when he thought about it.

In between filming, Lu Lin came over to "inspect" Boss Yu seemed to have something on his mind, and said during a break: "Why do you always have something on your mind?"

Yu Dong said with a smile: "Hey, I'm just thinking about it, if this "The Return of the Great Sage" is a year late, it would be good to be on this year's New Year's file, and it will also let Zhang Weiping's big mouth know what it means to be strong and strong!"

Lu Lin smiled, he knew that the contradiction between Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping was really irreconcilable! "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", two heavyweight blockbusters, were released on the same day, which can be regarded as a strange scene in Chinese film history.

To be honest, even if it's a staggered week, it won't hurt both. However, Zhang Weiping was arrogant and arrogant, refused to coordinate the schedule, and refused to provide copies to Bona Cinemas.

This boss Yu is also a domineering and ruthless man, and he has raised "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" to two days, just to take a breath.

As a result, there is no real winner, and both sides lose. If the two are willing to coordinate the schedule, any film can charge an extra one or two hundred million!

Boss Yu is not as angry as Zhang Weiping's arrogance, but Lu Lin is not a person who is angry, and filmmakers are angry and make money, unless they are really in a hurry. smiled and said: "That's right, it's a pity that history can't assume that "The Return of the Great Sage" has been released. As for this "Ten Cold", it should be set in the National Day file!"

Yu Dong said: "Is it too late for time?" He only learned a little about special effects production after investing in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and he only had a general impression in the past, that is, it burned money and took time.

Lu Lin said: "At that time, the special effects shots will be subcontracted to many companies, and the time should be in time." ”

Yu Dong said: "In terms of effect, there will be no problem!"

Lu Lin smiled: "My production style is definitely excellence!"

When Yu Dong heard this, he didn't think much about it, and immediately sighed: "Shoot well, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", I'm afraid I'm going to run into the opponent!

Lu Lin said: "What about staggering the schedule?"

Yu Dong smiled bitterly: "The output of the Lunar New Year stalls is the highest throughout the year, and the best time for the Lunar New Year stalls is those days, Zhang Weiping's guy has all of them, where can I withdraw to?"

Lu Lin couldn't say anything when he heard this, he really couldn't avoid it. Film investment needs to control the capital turnover period, and it normally takes one and a half to two years for a blockbuster film to recover its investment. If the New Year's stalls are retreated, when will it be transferred, next year's May Day, or summer!

"Hey, I don't want to, if Zhang Weiping is aggressive, I, Yu Dong, am not a vegetarian!"
