No. 512: Mutual Friends

There was only one episode, and Zhou Bai stayed in the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" for a week before leaving, but in fact, the filming took less than three days.

If you want to rush to work, you may be able to finish filming the scene in a day and a half, for him, it is not difficult to shoot a sitcom, the lens is basically fixed, mainly in the middle and close scenes, there are not too many conversions, it is very trouble-free, the reason why it takes so long is nothing more than to stay in the crew to understand and communicate with the creators and help solve some problems of the crew.

The shooting of sitcoms is one of the less difficult, there are not too many elaborate shots, and the use of the lens is particularly plain, of course, this is also a lot easier for actors to deal with, people with stage experience, especially for actors who have acted in many dramas and sketches, the challenge of acting in sitcoms is not high.

In the performing arts industry, many things are the same, and stage experience is also very helpful for filming, so many sketch actors are like fish in water when filming, sometimes they observe the environment and know how to move, and emotionally grasping lines and spitting words or something is completely basic for these excellent actors, which is not a problem.

After leaving the crew, the next step is the release and promotion of "Fast Pursuit", the preliminary publicity has been in full swing, and he, the leading actor, must carry out the itinerary as planned.

For the next month or so, Zhou Bai basically ran around the release of this movie, and even the focus of the entire studio almost revolved around this movie, which was an important project of the studio, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.

The total production and publicity costs of "Fast Pursuit" are only small and medium-sized costs in Hollywood, but if they can be converted into RMB, it will already be more than 100 million, and the pressure to recover the investment has always been there, such a large amount of investment is not only a matter of the studio's performance this year, but also about the studio's layout and plan in the market in the next few years.

Relying on the domestic box office and DVD copyright and related derivative products to recover the cost is basically a luxury, even if the production is excellent, the box office is unlikely to exceed "Hero", and even if it reaches the box office results of "Hero", in fact, it will not be able to recover the investment, after deducting taxes, theater account sharing, publicity and distribution costs, and copy costs, even if it is 300 million box office, the studio as a producer will not get 100 million, others have eaten well, and the rest is the producer, this industry is such a pit.

This is also why Zhou Bai had to make a layout in the distribution and even the theater early on, allowing others to master such an important link, not to mention being cut every time, it is almost equivalent to congenital lameness, and wanting to become the leader of the film and television industry just because of the production ability is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Although he is confident in his box office appeal, Zhou Bai will not be arrogant enough to think that the domestic box office performance of "Fast Pursuit" will exceed that of "Hero" two years ago, in 04 when piracy was rampant and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies was not enough to be sluggish in the market, "Fast Pursuit" could never exceed "Hero" at the domestic box office, and it could reach a close level, and all investors would burn high incense and set off firecrackers.

There are too many factors that can affect the box office, not that the quality of the film can be successful, the quality of the film is only one of the important factors, and the publicity and distribution work around the film is also the top priority.

In the preparation stage of the film, Zhou Bai has long set the goal of recovering the investment cost in the entire Asian box office, and the scale of the domestic box office is too small for him to recover the investment, and it is possible to achieve it if it is placed in the whole of Asia.

China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, these big box offices, the studio has not let go of the operation of these places in the past few years, at least the channels are unimpeded, after the film is completed all the production, there is no problem in quality, as long as the publicity and distribution are done well, Zhou Bai is very confident that the film will be welcomed by the audience after its release.

In Beijing, in a hall next to the National People's Congress, Zhou Bai walked into the lounge under the leadership of the TV assistant, this time he was a guest on this show for the first time, and he was curious about everything here.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, the preparation of the show is busy, and I hope you forgive me for the slackness. The first time they met, Dou Wentao was very polite, and his posture was very low, which made Zhou Bai a little frightened.

"Don't, Teacher Wen Tao, you can call me Zhou Bai or Lao Bai, don't call me Teacher, I really can't afford it. Zhou Bai was a little confused, but his reaction was not slow, and of course there was no mistake in the number of etiquette.

"Look, I'll just say it, you will definitely be scared when I call you teacher, Fei Ge said that you are a very humble person, and it is true. Dou Wentao laughed, and then said, this is a little joke of his, although he has not met Zhou Bai, he and another friend of Zhou Bai have talked about some of his things in private, which is why this little joke happened.

Today, Zhou Bai came to the recording studio here, just to come to Phoenix's "Threesome" program, and the Fei Ge in Dou Wentao's mouth is Yu Feihong, Dou Wentao also met her through an event by chance, and they became friends with similar interests.

"It turns out that you know Sister Yu, she didn't let me call her Feige, she forced me to call her sister, the other guest today won't be her, right?" Dou Wentao's scale is well grasped, and the little joke has narrowed the distance between the two, and it is actually much easier to talk about a mutual friend, and there will be a lot less strangeness, and Zhou Bai has also let go a lot.

"No, I wanted to invite her to the show, but she rejected it many times, which is similar to you, on the one hand, it is a problem of the schedule, on the other hand, she is not willing to appear in the media if she is not running publicity, let alone on the show. Dou Wentao regretted that Yu Feihong had a calm temperament and didn't like to appear in the media, but he never found a chance for her to come.

"I'm different from her, I'm not here, I'm not unwilling, it's really not arranged, but I know that she really doesn't want to show up, either traveling or staying at home to read and drink tea, she doesn't come This means that Brother Tao is not doing the right thing, find the right time next time you have a game, remember to pay the money secretly, and then don't mention it, or it won't be long before she takes the initiative to talk about it, you say that you are about to forget, if she doesn't want to go, she will come to help make a show, remember not to say that I told you. Zhou Bai said with a smile, give Dou Wentao a move, according to his understanding of Yu Feihong, this move has a great chance of success.

"Thank you so much, I'll try it when I go back, it would be great if I could successfully invite her, I will definitely invite you to dinner when I go back, thank you for your advice." Dou Wentao was very happy, he was a person who was very interested in talking, and he couldn't stop talking as soon as the chatterbox opened. (https:)
