Chapter 981: Racing Movie
Yang Ming's reason made Li Dong's enthusiasm cool down slightly, but after thinking about it for a while, he had to admit that Yang Ming's words were reasonable.
He is not someone who knows nothing about the entertainment industry.
In the past, Geely Automobile has not had advertising sponsorship for other movies, with successes and failures.
There are also examples of the first installment being a great success, while the second sequel is not working well.
"Transformers" is undoubtedly Geely Automobile's most successful sponsorship in terms of film advertising placement over the years, and Li Dong naturally doesn't want the sequel to this successful blockbuster to end up with countless infamy because of the rush to shoot and make money.
Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Yang Ming and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have to wait." ”
After saying this, he couldn't help but say again: "The company has a plan for movie advertising placement every year, and Wen Jingtao called me a few days ago and wanted the company to sponsor a movie with the theme of racing shot by their film company this year." ”
After Li Dong said this, he also looked at Yang Ming quite solemnly, after all, he and the other party were very harmonious because of the cooperation in "Transformers".
But the company has plans for ad placement every year.
If Yang Ming shoots the sequel to "Transformers" this year, then Li Dong will definitely put his main energy and funds on the side of Oriental DreamWorks, and now that Yang Ming is not ready to shoot a sequel, Geely Automobile will naturally look for new movies that can be suitable for advertising placement.
Car sales do not spend money on advertising, that is not good, and all aspects must be advertised, and now the advertising placement in the film industry is extremely valued by car manufacturers.
Every year, there will be a certain budget to spend in the film and television industry.
Yang Ming was slightly stunned when he heard Li Dong's words with explanation, but he was not surprised because Li Dong decided to cooperate with Baoli Company.
It was a movie with a racing theme, which made Yang Ming interested.
Wen Jingtao, he naturally knows that the new president of Baoli Company, after two years of development, Baoli Company has regained its combat effectiveness under his management.
After all, Baoli is also an old giant, with a strong heritage, as long as there is a suitable person at the helm, it will inevitably shine again.
It's just that he didn't expect that this year, Polaroid would want to make a movie about racing.
To be honest, if it weren't for Li Dong mentioning racing, Yang Ming might not have thought of a movie with this type of theme in his mind for a while.
Improving racing movies, his mind couldn't help but think of a very classic racing series of movies from his previous life.
"Fast and Furious".
A racing movie that is mainly about drag racing and showing off cars is simply the most perfect platform for car placement advertising - or all-natural.
In the previous life, the first five parts of "Fast and Furious" were relatively conservative in the strategy of car placement advertising, and more focused on the mainstream brands that are familiar to audiences in the United States and Japan, the two major car producing and consuming countries. But when it comes to "Fast and Furious 6", it is a stage for various car brands and models to show their powers, and in a sense, they are the protagonists, and there are more than 20 models that show their faces in the film.
Even in the seventh part, because of the commemoration of Paul, the placement of product placement has decreased a lot, but the placement of car advertising still cannot be stopped.
There is no way, for racing-themed movies, car product placement advertising is an innate advantage.
Yang Ming couldn't help but itch again when he thought of "Fast and Furious", not only his heart was itchy, but his hands were itchy, and he definitely wanted to shoot this classic in the past life in this life.
However, he quickly thought of a problem in his heart, he only acted as a director in this movie, not a starring role.
Otherwise, after the movie was released and was a great success, he would not be able to escape the filming of the sequel below.
However, Yang Ming thought about his shooting plan next year, and the impulse he just had in his heart, the kind of boiling that ignited instantly, couldn't help but gradually cool down.
"Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" and "Ghost Love", these two films are the two films he has included in the shooting plan this year.
Among them, the crew of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" has almost prepared, and it is estimated that in less than a month at most, the film will start shooting, and when this movie is finished, Yang Ming will follow up with the filming of "People and Ghosts".
According to the plan, one is to target the summer file in half a year, and the other is to locate Valentine's Day on Chinese Qixi Festival, and Valentine's Day is August 22 this year.
That is, the time is very tight.
At least until August 22, he has absolutely no other energy to prepare for a blockbuster film.
And after filming two movies in succession, he will definitely have to take a break for a while, and even if he wants to shoot, it will definitely be outside October.
It's too far away now, maybe by then, he'll have other things to do.
Li Dong saw Yang Ming's deep thinking, and at first thought that the young man in front of him was unhappy with his decision to cooperate with Baoli Company, after all, the young man in front of him had an extremely unpleasant quarrel with Baoli Company, but the world knew it.
Even if Baoli Company, under the leadership of Wen Jingtao, has eased the relationship with Oriental DreamWorks.
But there are some things that cannot be eliminated if they can be eliminated.
However, when Li Dong saw Yang Ming's contemplative appearance, he guessed that the other party was definitely not angry because of this, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
He didn't disturb Yang Ming's thoughts, just drank tea there leisurely, waiting for Yang Ming to come back to his senses.
After a while, Yang Ming quickly came back to his senses from the thoughts in his mind, and when he saw Li Dong sitting opposite him drinking tea, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and said apologetically: "Li Dong, I'm really sorry, just because you mentioned the racing movie, maybe because of this, I have some thoughts in my mind, and I can't help but wander, I'm really embarrassed." ”
When Li Dong heard Yang Ming's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, completely ignoring Yang Ming's sincere apology, and he only heard a little bit of Yang Ming's words in his ears.
Ideas for racing movies.
"Oh, what? You want to make racing movies too? If you do make racing movies, then this year's focus of our company's advertising placement plan in the film and television industry is you. Li Dong said without hesitation.
He didn't consider the factors of whether Yang Ming would succeed in making a racing movie.
Yang Ming saw that Li Dong just because he had an idea, so he did not hesitate to bet heavily on himself, to say that there was no emotion, it was impossible, he said politely: "I am very grateful to Li Dong for valuing me so much, but I still only have preliminary ideas in my mind, the most important thing is that even if the idea is mature, filming will start this year, at least after October, it is estimated that it will not be released this year." ”
When Li Dong heard Yang Ming's sincere and prudent words, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
It can't be released this year, and it seems that the company's focus this year is still on the side of Baoli Company.
Yang Ming didn't seem to notice Li Dong's disappointment, but said seriously: "If there is a sequel to "Transformers" and a racing movie next year, will Li Dong have such a huge budget?"
