Chapter 214: Finalize the summer file
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released simultaneously around the world, although it seems to be very cheating, but it is actually an inevitability, after all, Zhang Muyi filmed this movie to go to the Oscars, if it was only released in China, it would naturally be impossible to have such an influence to grab the Oscar trophy!
And since it is going to be released overseas, it is better to directly make a global simultaneous release, this posture is also a bit disadvantageous, and it instantly improves the quality of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" A lot, isn't it? It should be helpful for building momentum and box office.
And "The Return of the Great Sage" was introduced by neon, which is definitely an earth-shattering event for Huaxia Animation, but it is actually an inevitability.
After all, the birth of "The Return of the Great Sage" this time is not small because of the animation "exchange" between Huaxia and Neon, otherwise there would not have been such a grandiose release of "Journey to the West" in Huaxia.
Originally, such cultural exchanges were one-sided, after all, neon has a world-recognized height in animation, but this time they capsized in the gutter, not only lost, but also lost very badly!
And in line with the virtues of China since ancient times, as the so-called "come and not be rude", as such a generous China, since there are good things to share with you, this is also a kind of cultural exchange.
What's more, the people on the neon side also have a strong interest in "The Return of the Great Sage", which made the national animation "Journey to the West" so disastrous, and it is not surprising that it is introduced or released.
In addition, Zhang Liang has been busy with the affairs of "Charlotte's Troubles" for a while, and Shao Xiaomin is also an agent and the second female number one, and it is normal for Zhang Liang to not know the details of this kind of matter negotiated by the Ministry of Culture, and this kind of direct cultural exchange between the country, although Zhang Liang is a major shareholder in "The Return of the Great Sage", but because of various formalities, in fact, the proportion that can be shared at the box office in the end is not much.
And because of the cultural differences between neon and Huaxia, although "The Return of the Great Sage" is very popular in China, it is actually difficult to say how much box office Neon can achieve, and it may not even be possible to sell 100 million.
But no matter how small the sparrow is, it's meat, isn't it, and Zhang Liang doesn't have to bother much, Zhang Liang is also happy to be tossed by the Ministry of Culture, he just has to divide the money, anyway, this money is also more money.
Moreover, the real benefit of this thing lies in the promotion of fame and fortune!
Because of this incident, Zhang Liang's ranking on the list of Chinese artists was raised by 7 places, which shows this influence!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Return of the Great Sage" once became a hot topic of discussion on the Internet, not to mention that the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is from Zhang Liang's hand, although everyone is not very optimistic about "Charlotte's Troubles", but the onlookers are still very approving of Zhang Liang's script, after all, "Journey to the West" and "The Return of the Great Sage" have achieved such exaggerated results.
And a big reason why I am not optimistic about "Charlotte's Troubles" is because of the relationship between the director and the actors.
A rookie director, plus a bunch of rookie actors, what kind of good-looking movie can he perform?
But "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is different, this is a movie directed by Zhang Muyi to hit the Oscars! A world-class director, coupled with Zhang Liang's script, and then the actors are all well-known celebrities, although I don't understand how Zhang Muyi could use Chen Haiyan, a newcomer who can't act at all, and also serves as the heroine, but the masses are still very approving of Zhang Muyi's ability.
So when everyone was looking forward to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and discussing what kind of box office "The Return of the Great Sage" would achieve in neon, they had already left behind the completion of "Charlotte's Troubles".
inexplicably lost an opportunity to promote, but Zhang Liang didn't care too much, he just quietly carried out the post-editing of "Charlotte's Troubles", and by the way, the trailer or something could be prepared.
And at this time, another news has attracted a wave of attention, that is, Ge Datie's new movie "Journey to the West III" has finally been completed!
This is definitely a sensational news!
However, as a fantasy movie, and this time Ge Datie seems to have introduced a Hollywood post-production team, trying to make "Journey to the West III" surpass "Journey to the West" to become a classic, so it is also at the expense of blood, and it also makes the masses look forward to it!
However, it is precisely because of this post-production, although the filming of "Journey to the West III" has been completed, it is estimated that the post-production will still take a long cycle, so there should be a lot of time for the release, and I don't know if it can catch up with the summer file.
is also the completion of the movie, and the moment the news of the completion of "Journey to the West III" came out, almost the entire Internet was discussing "Journey to the West III", and even the original discussions about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Return of the Great Sage" were covered up in the past.
On the other hand, on the side of "Charlotte's Troubles", this is really a bit miserable!
Comparing goods, the gap between the two movies is instantly reflected.
And Zhang Liang, no matter how you say it, can be regarded as the creator of "Journey to the West" in this world, it is impossible to say that he doesn't care about this follow-up at all, and because this movie has made him and Ge Datie a little estranged, looking at the majestic appearance of "Journey to the West III", Zhang Liang has no jealousy, but hopes that "Journey to the West III" can achieve a lot of results.
No matter what the starting point is, Zhang Liang doesn't want "Journey to the West III" to be as miserable as that parallel world.
Care is care, but after all, "Journey to the West III" has nothing to do with Zhang Liang, so Zhang Liang can only care a little bit, his main job at the moment is to complete the cutting of "Charlotte's Troubles" as soon as possible, so that it can be sent for inspection as soon as possible and the release schedule can be arranged as soon as possible.
But fortunately, before Zhang Liang, "The Return of the Great Sage" also earned a lot of favor in the Ministry of Culture, this time "Charlotte's Troubles" has nothing to do with the Ministry of Culture, but favors are always a good thing, so it is generally more complicated to review the new works of new directors as a newcomer.
Though...... That can only be regarded as the tail of the summer file.
But the tail is also a summer file!
"Charlotte's Troubles" is scheduled to be launched on August 21!
When the news of this release was announced, it was instantaneous...... Well, almost nobody's caring.
After all, there are too many movies released in the summer, and all kinds of movies with various themes and countries are competing for the box office in the summer file.
But soon, when another news was announced, the release of "Charlotte's Troubles" also received attention.
"Journey to the West III" is scheduled to be released in the summer, and the premiere time: August 21!
