Lu Lin smiled slightly: "That's it! Look at this year's Chinese New Year stalls, there are only a few films that have some attention and box office potential, "Youth Pi", "The King's Feast", "1942", "Zodiac", "Blood Drops" and "Da Shanghai". ”

Xu Zheng was surprised: "I heard that Director Li An is filming "Youth Pi", and he is also going to set a schedule for the New Year?"

This can't blame Xu Zheng for being clogged up with news, there are really a lot of imported blockbusters, which are generally finalized and promoted in China before they are about to be released. But for Chinese-language movies, the schedule is generally set a month or two or even earlier in advance.

For example, "Flying Over the Old People's Home", which was released this year, was scheduled for May 8, but it hit "The Avengers" on May 5, and the box office was naturally a mess.

"Well, nine times out of ten, but don't worry too much. Now what we have to consider is mainly how to grab a wave of box office between "1942" and "Zodiac". ”

Xu Zheng smiled: "Director Feng's "1942" is one of the most watched blockbusters this year, how dare "Thai Embarrassment" grab the box office from him! There is also Brother Cheng Long's "Zodiac", there must be no need to think about it! I originally thought that the competition in the Lunar New Year stalls was too fierce, and it would be good to make some box office in the National Day stalls!"

Lao Xu, as a rookie director, is not wrong to think so. It's a pity that even he doesn't know how much box office potential he filmed "Thai Embarrassment".

Lu Lin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm the producer, you are the director, our films won't even be able to drink soup in the Chinese New Year, everything is arranged by me!"

Xu Zheng heard Lu Lin say this, so it was difficult to say anything more. Although "Thai Embarrassment" is a work directed by him, it is a painstaking work. From investment to distribution and publicity, Longlin Pictures is the leader, and there is really nothing to say.

After Xu Zheng left, Lu Lin continued to ponder the script of "Male Soldier Company". He found that although the original anime was good, it was not burning enough in terms of plot. And this is exactly what commercial films need most.

is like the "Crazy Boy" series, no matter what kind of setbacks and persecution Haonan and Pheasant suffer in the middle of the film, but the end of the film must be super-burning and make the audience feel refreshed.

In this way, time passed day by day, and soon came to the National Day file, which is known as the most chaotic in history.

The 12-year Chinese film market has been quite an extraordinary year. The bleakness of the spring file has repeatedly set records, and the summer file has "guaranteed to the end" domestic films, and four blockbusters have been released in a row within nine days by the end of August, which is jaw-dropping. And entering the "National Day file", the withdrawal of the file, the rescheduling of the reschedule, the mess.

From September 26th to September 29th, the five main films "Tongquetai", "Tai Chi 1 from Scratch", "Dangerous Relationship", "Second Exposure" and "Ring Messenger" were released in four days, and the competition at the box office was fierce.

It's a pity that it's still a low-level competition, and it's just a bad movie.

"Tongquetai" starring Fa Ge and Liu Tianxian can be regarded as an end to a Chinese-style costume blockbuster. The film has nothing to do with history and nothing to do with the present. It is a joke to deduce Cao Cao's mental journey, and then mixed with a bit of historical reflection like "Hundred Lectures". Such an unobtrusive film obviously cannot win the favor of the audience.

As for "Tai Chi 1 Starting from Scratch" produced by Huayi, produced by Chen Guofu and directed by Feng Deyuan, the process of turning an idiot into a master is more wasteful than waste wood.

The difference in the performance of Chinese films in the National Day file has caused an uproar in the industry. Because of the Chinese-language films released since the beginning of the year, only "The Great Gold Robbery" and "Embroidered Shoes" can be called "The Great Gold Robbery", and only "Painted Skin 2" and "Breakup Master" have exploded.

Ten months, only this achievement, it can be said that under the strong pressure of Hollywood blockbusters, Chinese films have collapsed. What to do, who can save the decline?

If the master doesn't come out, he will be born!

Director Feng felt that it was time to show his true strength! Submit for review, and the later stage of "1942" will be sent for review in late October, and then successfully passed at the end of the month.

Director Feng excitedly said on Weibo that "1942" has been unanimously affirmed by 23 judges, and we will wait for the opening bell in a month.

Director Lu Chuan was not to be outdone, announcing that "The King's Feast" was set for November 29, with a PK posture with "1942".

and produced by Bo Na, directed by Wang Whale, starring Fa Ge and Huang Xiaoming, and "Da Shanghai" based on Du Yuesheng, the schedule is tentatively set for December 6. "The Grandmaster" directed by Wang Jiawei is also tentatively scheduled for December 18.

The box office war for the Chinese New Year stalls is about to break out.

Longlin Pictures will naturally not be absent, but "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" is still in post-production, and the schedule has not been determined. The only one who can participate is "Thai Embarrassment".

Under Lu Lin's attention, Longlin Pictures is very attentive to the distribution of "Thai Embarrassment". Not only was the film scheduled for December 6 at the end of October, but also a lot of posters and press releases were sent one after another. Song Ge even personally contacted a number of cinema companies to talk about film scheduling little by little.

For the finalization of "Thai Embarrassment", the biggest reaction was Yu Dong. Because the "Big Shanghai" issued by Bona Investment is also tentatively scheduled for December 6. For this reason, he naturally had to call to ask for clarification.

"I said Boss Lu, why are you still in the ring with me?"

"Yo, I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I forgot to say hello to you first!"

Yu Dong said: "It's good to say hello or not, why didn't you choose that day, the front is "1942", it's only a week away!"

Lu Lin said: "It's okay, this week is enough to ferment its reputation, it's a big tragedy, and I'm a little comedy." No conflict. Besides, watching movies about starving people when the Chinese New Year is approaching, how sad it is!

When Yu Dong heard Lu Lin say this, he felt that it seemed to make sense, and said with a smile: "It's true, come with it!"

Because of the good cooperative relationship, even if Lu Lin set the schedule of "Thai Embarrassment" to the same day as "Da Shanghai", Yu Dong did not have the idea of treating Lu Lin as an opponent for a while, and said: "Where will I move this film!"

In another time and space, he was first set for December 6, and then transferred to December 21, and as a result, he became cannon fodder for "Thai Embarrassment" and "Zodiac", and he lost miserably.

In fact, before the release, Yu Dong was a little unconfident. At the beginning, I agreed to make a heroic film, but when it was about to be released, I realized that there was no market for this thing! Times are different, even if there is a fat brother, even if the story is in Shanghai, it is not Xu Wenqiang who was fascinated by thousands of people back then.

So during this time, Yu Dong has been worried about the schedule. Lu Lin said: "Mr. Yu, I'll just say it casually, it's up to you whether you listen to it or not! The male film is in the Lunar New Year file, it's really not competitive, you better think about it more!"
