"Is it already decided?"

In the chairman's office of China Film Group, Han Sanping calmed the anger in his heart and looked at Lin Sheng with a cold face.

Lin Sheng stood there honestly and said, "There shouldn't be a mistake, Huayi has officially announced it, unless it is a mistake by the staff, but this can basically be ruled out." ”

When Lin Sheng happened to see the news early in the morning, he was also stunned, Wang Zhongjun had a tendon twitch, and he really wanted to fight "Red Cliff".

Although Wu Yusen has not yet proven himself in the mainland, he can make a large number of classic films in the eighties and nineties.

It can even be said that the vast majority of the main moviegoers in the age group of 18-40 have watched his movies on TV and computers.

Now even some remote areas and small counties occasionally show those Xiangjiang action and police and gangster films in the eighties and nineties.

Han Sanping had a calm face and didn't know what he was thinking, Lin Sheng asked tentatively, "Han Dong, do you want me to ask Wang Zhongjun and see what he wants to do?"

"No!"

Han Sanping waved his hand, "It has been triggered but not announced, and it will not be announced until a month before the release, can he tell you!"

"Then I'm going to see Tang An?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what happens now, there are more than 20 days before "Red Cliff" is released, you invite Yu Dong and the heads of several major cinemas for me, and I will invite them to dinner. ”

"Then I'll make an appointment now. Lin Sheng nodded and walked out of the office.

Han Sanping sat back in his chair and pondered for a moment, then opened Huayi's official website on the computer.

A poster on the front page occupies nearly a third of the space, clearly showing the release date, which is July 17.

It's a week late, is it the same trick as facing "Transformers"?

postponed the release by a week, avoiding the box office explosion of "Red Cliff", and using the first week to the second week, giving the audience the illusion that the box office exceeded "Red Cliff".

Han Sanping shook his head with a smile, Wang Zhongjun wanted to use "Red Cliff", China Film and Bernard as stepping stones, and become the first private film and television group in China in one fell swoop.

But "Red Cliff" is not "Transformers", the all-star lineup plus up to 20 million publicity fees, as long as the quality of the film passes, it is almost impossible to beat.

But after thinking about it, last year, Huayi invested at least 15 million in the publicity of "The Wind", and this time I am afraid it will be even higher.

Thinking about the popularity of "Shocking Demon Thieves" during this time, as well as Tang An's box office appeal, even if there are no big-name stars, it should not be underestimated.

You'll still have to scrape together a few million, just in case.

If you want to say how angry you are, in fact, you don't have to, it's just that Wang Zhongjun is a little unhappy that he suddenly came to hide from him.

In the one-third of an acre of land in Huaguo Film, he dared to hide from him that Han Sanping was making any small moves, and he had to be beaten.

"This time I should teach you a lesson!"

......

At the same time, Wu Bo also learned the news for the first time.

"Haha......"

"Wang Zhongjun has taken the wrong medicine, he actually wants to fight with me in the ring, he can't help himself!"

Unlike Han Sanping's unhappiness, Wu Bozhi seemed very happy.

In fact, the relationship between several major companies in the entertainment industry is still passable, after all, there are so many films made in a year, and it is difficult to overlap the schedules.

However, the relationship between Huayi and Chengtian is not so harmonious.

poached nearly half of the big-name stars without saying a word, although there was not much loss to Huayi, and the main forces that could really make money were still there.

But the face is lost, and in the impression of the masses, it seems that Huayi has been hollowed out and is about to play with eggs.

Wu Bo is also aiming at Huayi, the domestic market is so big, Berner can't do it, and he doesn't have that distribution network, so he won't find Huayi.

Artist management, film and television production, this can all cost money, make a few blockbuster movies, and the distribution channel can be slowly established.

As long as the two "Red Cliffs" are box office hits, he will naturally be able to fight for more films in theaters in the future.

Now that Wang Zhongjun took the initiative to send it to the door, if he stepped on Hua Yi and Tang An to take the position, the weight of this summer champion would be even heavier.

"Give me all the publicity I can, and spend 10 million on me in the past 20 days before the release, it's rare for them to take the initiative to come up, so play with them!"

"Okay Wu Dong, it's just that Director Wu is doing propaganda in Southeast Asia, why don't you invite the crew back?" asked the person in charge of the Propaganda Department.

"No need!"

Wu Bo thought about it and shook his head, "We still have to rely on the box office in Southeast Asia and North America, just come back a week before the release!"

......

As one of the publishers of "Red Cliff", Yu Dong is also talking to several of his executives about it.

"In your opinion, what does Wang Zhongjun want to do this time?" Yu Dong's chubby face still had that kind smile, and it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"I probably want to win the summer file and the Chinese New Year file at the same time, Wang Zhongjun's ambition is big enough!"

"Yu Dong, our market share was already lower than Huayi last year, and there are no big projects this year, so it is difficult to be suppressed by them for two consecutive years. ”

"Don't panic, fight this battle first, "Red Cliff" must be released with all its might. ”

Yu Dong is indeed not in a hurry, he and Han Sanping's expectations for "Red Cliff" start at 300 million, and this movie alone is worth most of Feng Xiaogang and Tang An combined.

......

At this time, the Huayi brothers have invited more than a dozen theater leaders across the country to come to try out "Shocking Demon Thieves".

Almost just after the editing, before Tang An had time to rest, Wang Zhongjun invited the people from the theater.

In a small screening room, nearly two hours of film were played.

When I returned to the conference room, I didn't say anything all the way, and everyone measured it in their hearts.

"Everyone, I have also watched the film, there is no doubt that it is wonderful, we are expected to release it on July 17th, and we hope to support it more!" Wang Zhongjun looked at them with a smile.

Everyone glanced at each other, and Mr. Qian of United Cinemas smiled bitterly, "Wang Dong, I have to release it in July." ”

It's a good thing to have films, and theaters can't wait for blockbusters to be released every month, so that they can make money.

But if these two heavyweight blockbusters are squeezed together, they will definitely affect each other, and even lose both.

Not only is it not good for the two producers, but it is not as profitable for the theater chain as it is to screen it separately.

"Mr. Qian, if you don't go up in the summer file, you will have to wait until the Chinese New Year file, won't you squeeze in with Director Feng's film?" Tang An said with a smile.

Mr. Wu of the Northern Cinema Line spoke, "Mr. Tang, Wang Dong, how about the release in early August, I can guarantee that more than 60% of the films will be scheduled, and it will be mainly in prime time in big cities!"

"Red Cliff" was released on July 10, 20 days apart, perfectly avoiding the box office explosion period, and it is a good choice for all three parties.

Wang Zhongjun shook his head and insisted, "A few people also understand that the most important thing in the summer file is July, and when it comes to August, the students will have no money in their hands!"
