Lin Qirong stayed in the crew for a while, watching the actors play vivid roles in front of his eyes.

Xu Sanduo, who has grown from a soldier to a soldier king, a talent who is good at drilling camps, a gentle Shi Jin, a stubborn Wu Liuyi, a strong Gao Cheng, and a god-like Yuan Lang······

Each character with a distinct image grows in his own life, in a variety of good and bad choices, and converges into an excellent military story, with laughter, tears, and the solemn oath: "Don't abandon, don't give up".

He Yijun did not forget Lin Qirong's mention, and understood that this TV series is not telling the story of Xu Sanduo, but the story of a soldier, shaping every character into flesh and blood, and supporting the skeleton of this drama together.

There is no tense and suffocating drama, no dazzling shots and bloody scenes, but its slightly simple delicacy and passion make people feel a lot.

The ending that made Lin Qirong the most regrettable has a new change in the hands of He Yijun, and the final exercise, codenamed SILENCE, has become the climax of the whole play, everyone has played their own role in it, and various equipment has also taken turns to fight, which is wonderful, and Xu Sanduo also shows the edge of a real soldier king here.

Although the whole play has been lengthened a lot because of this, Lin Qirong thinks it is worth it.

"Very wonderful. He said to He Yijun, "It's even better than I imagined." ”

He Yijun nodded, "There are still many details that need to be picked out, we can do better, I hope you support me." ”

"Of course, this is your crew, you have the final say, anyway, Jiayin is in charge of money, isn't it?"

He Yijun nodded gratefully, without Lin Qirong's support, he would not have been able to shoot such an excellent work.

Lin Qirong thumped his chest, "Filming our first movie will start in the second half of the year, are you ready?"

"Of course, it's been a long time coming. ”

"Then let's work together then. ”

"Good. ”

By the time Lin Qirong left the crew and returned to Shanghai, the time had come to the end of June, and after a period of rest, the summer vacation officially arrived.

"Tongtong will continue to study with Mr. Liang this summer. Zuo Youran and Lin Qirong discussed the summer vacation, "Then she is going to the United States to participate in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and before that, we received an invitation to participate in the children's competition." ”

Lin Qirong knows this, in fact, since Tongtong performed in the Golden Hall, she has been listed in the music and art circles all over the world, and there are often many invitations to events.

The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition is one of the most famous piano competitions, and is known as the world's top ten piano competitions along with the International Chopin Piano Competition.

"Looks like you're going to spend the summer in Kyoto this summer. Lin Qirong rubbed Tongtong's hair, "Do you think you don't like it?"

Tongtong shook his head, "As long as I am with my parents, it is not hard, and I like to play the piano and perform on stage." ”

Lin Qirong was a little distracted, and he showed more and more special things in Tongtong's body, such as a strong desire to perform, which should be inherited from Wu Tongyu, she has been the most active person in the school since high school, and her name will be on every school party, and it is definitely the most dazzling one that night.

Tongtong is really similar to her in this regard.

And living with Lin Qirong and Zuo Youran, her music appreciation level is not much higher under the influence of her ears and eyes, and her whole temperament has also undergone a lot of transformation, and she has already shown a good temperament at a young age.

She seems to be born to fit the stage.

"Then come on, Mom and Dad will be with you. Lin Qirong smiled, turned his head and said leisurely to Zuo, "I want to shoot "Longing for Life", and then I will go to Kyoto to meet you and go to the United States to participate in the competition together, and at the same time travel as a family." ”

Zuo Youran chuckled and nodded, "I see." ”

······

With the beginning of the summer vacation, the film market ushered in the prime period called the summer file, and students became the main force of watching movies.

This period is the prime period for animated films, and major companies naturally do not want to miss this opportunity, and have launched their long-prepared animated films, ready to make a fortune in this period.

Animation giants such as Fengteng Animation and Longfei Animation are no exception, one is preparing to launch a big movie with a popular IP, relying on the popularity of this IP and the popularity accumulated after adapting the animation, I believe there will be good results.

Longfei Animation has made a big deal this time and launched an antique animated movie that tells a moving story, which is very much anticipated.

But none of this has overshadowed the shine of another company.

Before the summer file started, Tonghua Animation announced its release plan, and Tonghua Animation will launch two animated movies in a row in the summer file.

One is the theatrical version of the cartoon "Robot Cat Jingle", which is popular with children, in this theater version, the robot cat Jingle will carry out a wonderful adventure journey with Nobita, Xiaoxiang and other friends, which is expected by many parents and children.

The other is the animated movie "Castle in the Sky" produced by Tonghua Animation, which can be seen from the promotional posters and videos that have been continuously exploded, and this is a bloody story about the adventures of young men and women, and the huge city in the sky and the moving scenery have attracted the attention of many audiences.

"Although I don't know what story is told, but the production of Tonghua must be a high-quality product, and I want to watch this movie in the name of Lin Qirong and Tonghua animation. ”

There are many viewers with such ideas, which makes this animated film gain a lot of reservations after it was announced, and it has become one of the most watched animated films in the entire summer file.

And its competitors in the same schedule are also very strong, the comedy "Smiling" starring famous comedians is eyeing the summer file, and the superhero movie "Condor" from Hollywood is even more menacing and is bound to dominate the entire summer schedule.

In this case, no one dares to give an answer to what kind of results "Castle in the Sky" and "Robot Cat Jingle" can get.

"Although they are menacing, we have to note that our opponents are not them. Lin Qirong comforted his subordinates like this, "First, the two are not incompatible, and liking to watch "Condor" doesn't mean that you don't like to watch our movies.

Second, our main position is the daytime file, while the main position of movies such as "Condor Man" is the night file, where the two sides rarely meet.

Third, no matter how the stalls are arranged, what determines the box office is always the quality of the movie, whether it can be liked or not.

If our film can move the audience and make them willing to buy tickets to come in and watch it, the most important thing is the most important thing. ”

Under the dominance of such thoughts, "Castle in the Sky" chose to fight head-on with the two blockbusters, and did not avoid its edge, and its release date happened to be the day before "Condor", and the day after "Smiling", it looks very unfavorable to be sandwiched in the middle.

At least in many public opinion media, it looks very unfavorable.

In such an atmosphere, "Castle in the Sky" ushered in its premiere.

At the premiere, in addition to Lin Qirong and other senior executives of Tonghua Group, there were also many guests who came to cheer, Ma Chang, Gong Xingping and others were present to cheer, they are all one of the investors in this animated film, so they naturally want to be present.

Longfei Animation, Fengteng Animation and other animation companies also sent representatives to attend, Tonghua Animation and various companies have a lot of cooperation, everyone is naturally willing to cheer, and I also want to know what kind of achievements this animated film can achieve.

"The film scheduling rate is good. Gong Xingping saw the scheduling rate of various theaters across the country and expressed surprise at the scheduling rate of "Sky City".

Although it is mainly in the daytime file, the overall scheduling rate is as high as 30%, which is really a good number in this prime period, and even at night, it is not impossible to find the trace of this animated movie, and there is still nearly 15% scheduling rate.

"It's all thanks to the support of my peers. Lin Qirong chuckled.

At present, Tonghua Group and other enterprises have begun to enter the cinema market and begin to build their own cinemas across the country, and it is believed that the number of cinemas in the entire Huaxia will increase by about one-third.

But after all, it has not been officially put into operation, and "Sky City" can have a good scheduling rate, mainly because the relationship between Tonghua Group and all parties is very good.

Especially in the seminar in Guanzhong, although Lin Qirong threw out opinions that were unfavorable to the theater company, it did not mean that his relationship with the theater side was not good.

In fact, everyone is unwilling to offend this superstar with the Wen family and Xu Anshun behind him, and he is also a superstar with super influence, and they are willing to give him a face, coupled with the good reputation and effective public relations of Tonghua Animation, "Castle in the Sky" can still have such a high film scheduling rate under the attack of two blockbusters.

"But even so, if the box office performance is not good in the future, the theater chains will immediately reduce your scheduling rate and replace it with other movies with good box office.

They are the most realistic, they only care about which one can make money, and they will not give face to anyone, even those blockbusters, if the box office hits the streets, they will be released quickly. ”

Gong Xingping reminded.

"I understand this, no matter how effective the publicity is at the beginning and how high the film scheduling rate is, it is the quality of the film itself that ultimately determines the box office. ”

Lin Qirong replied, "We are very aware of this, and I have confidence in our film. ”

"I'm really looking forward to it. Gong Xingping said with a smile.

He wanted to know what was the reason why Lin Qirong was so confident in this animated movie.

Even in the face of two blockbusters, one inside and one outside.

In his doubts, the premiere officially began.
