Chapter 776: "The Assembly" is released
1+1 company suddenly announced the acquisition of Warner Cinemas, which is undoubtedly a super bomb in the domestic entertainment industry, of course, on the surface, it is an investment company called Tranquility that buys Warner Cinemas, but just look at the name of the CEO, Su Wenwen, if there is no 1+1 company's handwriting, who believes it!
Besides, why is it called Ningning, the names of Song Zheng and Lin Xinru's son have long been exposed by the media, Song Jing, listening to the name, you know that you will be a very civilized little boy when you grow up, of course, this is not important, the important thing is that Song Zheng's daughter is called Song Ning, a Ning, a Jing, who dares to say that this is not an industry under the name of those two people.

As for why Su Wenwen resigned from the 1+1 company and switched to the newly established Tranquility Cinema Line as the CEO, and Shangjie as the general manager of the 1+1 company, and so on, it was just an internal adjustment.
is also to transfer time, so as not to make the two of them instantly become the target of public criticism, after all, it is an entertainment company and a theater chain, this kind of wave-to-fly configuration is too easy to attract hatred.
After the establishment of Tranquility Cinema, Su Wenwen immediately released a series of major actions for the cinema line, such as expanding the strength of the cinema line, and will start to build Tranquility Cinema in all first-tier cities in China, as well as more second-tier cities, and said that Tranquility Cinema will complete the industrial layout in the next ten years and become the largest and most advanced cinema chain in China.
Although ten years is still far away, it is not difficult for people with a little bit of brains to see that those two people are planning to openly call out the traditional domestic cinema operators!
"Brother Zheng, Zheng Jinzhao from Yonghua Cinema Line called me just now!"
As soon as Song Zheng returned to the hotel from work, Su Wenwen's phone called, the Tranquility Cinema Line had just been established, and the two of them had to make at least a dozen phone calls every day.
Zheng Jinzhao?
Song Zheng has never heard of it, and he didn't do the work of dealing with cinema companies before, but he is very familiar with Yonghua Cinema Line, which is currently one of the best in the original system in China, and most importantly, Yonghua Cinema Line is a semi-state-owned enterprise, and the official background is very deep.
Before, Song Zheng asked Su Wenwen to contact the theater company, intending to ask the other party to increase the box office share of "Assembly Number", mainly to recruit Yonghua.
"Oh! what did he say!?"
"I didn't say it too clearly, but listening to Zheng Jinzhao's meaning, it seems that he is planning to unite!"
United!?
Think beautifully!
Song Zheng scoffed at the other party's proposal, he has always liked to eat alone, and now the meat is on his plate, and he is not short of funds, why let the other party take a bite.
"Don't bother with him, just drag it out, by the way, how is the discussion about the release of "Assembly"!?"
1+1 Company is now familiar with the issue of distribution, and this time the release of "Assembly Number", it will not ask Huayi Brothers to do it again, and it will be able to do it by itself.
Before, Song Zheng also followed Wang Zhongjun on the phone, and the other party expressed his understanding, after all, there is no need to ask them for a piece of the pie what they can do.
Of course, what Wang Zhongjun thought in his heart, Song Zheng didn't know, and he probably didn't care if he knew, but the other party was happy.
Who asked them to cooperate with Red Star Dock without saying hello!
"The King of Kung Fu" is also filming now, and like the original version, this drama gathers Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, Li Bingbing and many other first-line stars, plus Columbia Company is also mixed in it, which has attracted enough attention.
Su Wenwen said: "Zheng Jinzhao is still very interested in "Assembly", and the conditions given are not bad, I talked to him again about increasing the box office share, and he covered it up!"
Song Zheng calculated in his heart, 42% of the box office share, although it could not satisfy him, but it was estimated that it would be like this.
Zheng Jinzhao, although he has never been in contact with it, but he is also a scheming person, I heard that they are going to set up a cinema system here, and they came to talk about cooperation as soon as possible, obviously with a sense of crisis, but in the end he still failed to agree to increase the box office share, which was also expected by Song Zheng.
This kind of thing involves too wide, and it affects the whole body, and Yonghua is not the only domestic theater company, if he increases the box office share, what will other theater companies do?
Moreover, once this matter spreads, other producers will definitely force the theater chain to increase the box office share, which involves the distribution of real benefits, even Han Sanye above probably does not dare to interfere casually.
"Okay! Just follow this sharing ratio, but the amount of film scheduling must be guaranteed!"
On the American side, Lionsgate is also ready, this time "Assembly", Song Zheng plans to release it in the United States and China at the same time, Lionsgate is very dedicated, and now there are more than 1,000 theaters that have been negotiated, which is not low, and it will gradually increase in the future according to the box office.
Song Zheng is confident in "The Assembly", although the movie inevitably involves ideological issues, but the grand war scenes, coupled with the favorite torture of human nature by Westerners, coupled with Song Zheng's current appeal, will definitely attract many audiences to the cinema.
"Okay!
"By the way, how are you going to prepare for what I told you earlier!?"
Su Wenwen paused for a moment and said, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, it's all ready, but it's ~~~~~~."
"Don't do it, do as I say, since I made this film, I just wanted to kneel and lick, so I just licked it for fun, besides, it's all licking anyway, I'd rather lick those who should be licked!"
As soon as Su Wenwen heard this, there was nothing more to say, Song Zheng had decided on everything, she just had to do it.
"Okay! I know, when the time comes, we'll scare them!"
Scare them!
Song Zheng couldn't help laughing, he was really full of expectations for the premiere of "Assembly".
………………………
On June 15th, after a wave of heart-wrenching publicity, the much-anticipated "Assembly" finally arrived on the day of its premiere, and the venue was arranged in the City Hall.
Song Zheng is not there, Lin Xinru's figure has not recovered yet, she is ashamed to see people, and the new general manager of the 1+1 company, Shang Jie, can only be forced to top the cylinder, but don't look at the two of them, but with their good popularity in the circle, basically how many invitations are scattered, all the invitations that can come are opened, except for those who can't leave, they have also specially recorded VCR, and when the movie is finished, they will take it out and broadcast it, and by the way, brush up a wave of publicity.
Two weeks before the release of the movie, the most eye-catching billboards on the main roads of Yanjing, Modu, and Yangcheng were all captured by the promotional posters of "Assembly", and this alone cost millions.
In addition, as long as they are artists in the company, whether they starred in this movie or not, when they participate in various activities, they are also frantically helping to publicize.
"On June 15, please pay attention to director Song Zheng's latest work "Assembly Number". ”
On the red carpet, the celebrities from all walks of life, let the reporters and fans on both sides suddenly feel a kind of rush to lie in the nest and count the stars, the signed artists of the 1+1 company, except for Tang Wei filming in the United States, all the others were present, that is, Deng Zhuo and Sun Li specially followed Gao Xixi to ask for leave.
It's normal for artists from their own company to support their own movies, but next, Feng Xiaogang arrived with his daughter-in-law Xu Fan, Li Bingbing arrived, Huang Xiaoming arrived, Zhou Xun arrived, this is Huayi Brothers, uh, Chen Zhiming, who has always rarely played this kind of activity, also came, and Fan Bingbing, did Orange Sky Entertainment want to follow Huayi Brothers on the spot?
A large number of stars shined in, and the reporters calculated, alas, good guys, hundreds of stars came to cheer, this is properly going to be in the headlines tomorrow!
Wait! There was another car coming, not one, but a whole ten, and stopped side by side at the entrance of the red carpet, the door opened, and everyone at the scene was stunned to see the people who stepped out of the car.
Those two of them are too big to play!
In the Great Hall, the scene has already been arranged, because it is the main theme, even many relevant units attach great importance to it, but after the reporters who were allowed to enter the venue sat down, looked at the front, and felt very strange, their position was arranged in the middle, which is normal, but none of the stars who came to cheer, whether they had big wrists or small wrists, sat in the front row.
The front row is completely empty, is it to give ~~~~~~~~
Someone else walked in, and all eyes were on the people who walked in.
Gray military uniforms, octagonal hats, some on crutches, some in wheelchairs, even if the body is rickety, but it still gives people the feeling that it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit, especially the large piece of military merit medal worn in front of him, which can instantly blind people's eyes.
Feng Xiaogang subconsciously stood up, looked at the dozen or so old men who entered, and a pair of eyes almost popped out.
"Zhengzi's hand is too big, where did you find so many national treasures!"
Soon more and more people stood up automatically, and in the end, everyone at the scene stood up and gave warm applause to the dozen or so old people who had entered the industry.
You don't need to look at their resumes, nor do you need to introduce them, just by looking at the military medals on their chests, you can know that these old people are real heroes who once threw their heads and shed their blood for the founding of the republic.
Wang Zhongjun was also applauding, his expression could not hide his excitement, he had been a soldier, a former soldier now sees these old-timers, the feeling of reverence is completely difficult to express in words.
The old people walked to the seats, turned around neatly, faced the audience, and gave a military salute.
Suddenly, the applause was several times more enthusiastic.
This is not a show, but Song Zheng has planned it a long time ago, whether his "Assembly" is filmed well or not, the most qualified to judge are these veterans who have died and walked down from the battlefield.
They may not have much artistic accomplishment, and they may not even understand that film is an art, but they have the deepest understanding of war.
There is no host on the stage to enliven the atmosphere, wait until more than a dozen veterans are seated, the lights on the scene are turned off, and the audience is instantly quiet, there is no light on the big screen, and the first thing people hear is a trumpet, which can be heard by anyone who has military experience, this is the trumpet of the rallying cry.
Immediately after the big screen lit up, the logo of the 1+1 company flashed, and a touch of blood stained the curtain red, the visual impact was absolutely shocking, and many viewers who were crooked in the seats instantly straightened up.
Director Song Zheng's work!
Starring: Zhang Hanyu, Deng Zhuo, Sun Li, Wu Xiubo~~~~~~~
After the opening film, the first image that emerges is an aerial panoramic battlefield, a city that has been destroyed, full of broken walls, thick gunsmoke, and lying corpses everywhere.
In order to make the battlefield closer to reality, Song Zheng didn't know how many disciplinary films about the battlefield he had watched before filming started, and those shots were all taken from the real battlefield by reporters at the risk of death.
Just a panoramic shot made many viewers at the scene gasp.
How much does it cost!?
Many domestic war movies, such as this kind of panoramic shots, are many of them synthesized by computers, and the current technology has not yet reached the point where they are fake, so the things made are very fake.
Song Zheng can't tolerate that kind of unreal appearance in his movies, so for the sake of this battle, he really let Zhang Xu spend a few months in the Northeast and create a corner of a city that has been destroyed.
Everyone knows that "Assembly" invested 80 million, and half of the money was smashed by Song Zheng on these war scenes.
"Brother Jiang Jun, listen, I am Gu Zidi, the commander of the fifth battalion and the ninth company of the 139th Regiment of the Second Division of the Central Plains Field Army!"
With the sound of shouting, Zhang Hanyu entered the country, his face was black, his fingers were blue, but he couldn't hide the resolute appearance on his face, and Wang Zhongjun in the audience couldn't help but light up when he looked at it.
He and Zhang Hanyu have known each other for many years, and they have thought about praising this old brother before, but they have never been able to find a suitable opportunity, and they are also worried that Zhang Hanyu is now at this age, and he will not be popular at all.
But now it's just a close-up of the side, and he concluded that Zhang Hanyu is going to be popular.
"You have been surrounded to death, it is not interesting to fight greasy and crookedly, Jiulian has prepared two things for the brothers here, one is chopsticks, the other is a bullet, to beat us to the end, if you don't want to fight, just come out, Jiulian will sit down with the brothers and eat dumplings!"
Wang Zhongjun looked at it and stabbed Wang Zhonglei, who was sitting next to him: "Xiao Lei! Hanyu's contract is about to expire, right?"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment, and randomly understood: "I'll talk to him when I go back!"
Wang Zhonglei naturally knows that after the movie "Assembly", Zhang Hanyu became popular, it was only a matter of time, before, the company had never considered Zhang Hanyu's contract issue alone, but every time the company's artists collectively renewed their contracts, they easily changed Zhang Hanyu's contract period.
But now, it is definitely not okay to continue to be perfunctory like that, even if the relationship between the two parties is good, once it comes to the distribution of interests, it is also a matter of settling accounts with brothers.
The movie continues, and after the persuasion is ineffective, under the urging of the instructor, Gu Zidi sent Jiao Dapeng, the platoon leader played by Liao Fan, to take people to explore the way.
The camera kept switching, and when the national army hiding behind the building appeared on the screen, the atmosphere in the audience became solemn, and people were worried about the soldiers of our army.
Rumble!
A violent explosion bombarded people's eardrums, and the soldiers of our army who flew out upside down had lost their vitality before they landed, and the machine guns fired wildly, tearing apart people's bodies, and the shocking picture made every audience's heart hang, and their hands were clenched tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
The brutal war makes the bravest soldiers can only hold their heads and shrink behind the broken wall, such a picture is the most real.
In many domestic war films, the image of our soldiers is extremely tall, even if the chest is broken by the enemy's bullets, you must have a resolute gaze, fall straight on the way to charge, and don't forget to pay a few cents of party dues before dying.
Such iron heroes really exist in history, but not every warrior on the battlefield can do this, more often than not, people have an instinctive fear of death.
The dozen or so veterans sitting at the front couldn't help but be moved, and they naturally thought of the brutal battles they experienced during the war years.
Death, blood.
In the face of bullets that can kill at any time, even the bravest people will be timid, they will also let out a wail, and they will tremble.
At the end of the battle, the instructor sacrificed, and the tragic death made many people's chests sigh for a sigh of relief, and then Gu Zi ordered the prisoners of war to be shot, and the soldiers of our army coaxed the national army equipment, making some people in the audience secretly frown.
In their opinion, such an image should not appear in the officers and men of our army at all.
And the fear that our soldiers showed when they faced death just now, how can these be performed, and do you want to stand still!?
Some ordinary viewers also feel a little uncomfortable, although those pictures are very shocking, but for ordinary audiences, they still prefer to see the heroic and fearless appearance of our soldiers on the screen.
Then Gu Zidi said something to Wang Jincun in the barn, and gave the answer: "The brain melon is flying with a spear on the top, and the crotch is running*, even the gods have to be cowardly!"
People suddenly understood that the characters in the movie, they were going through a real war, not a play, and the war they experienced was going to die.
Who can really be brave and fearless in the face of death, and who can not feel fear?
The reason why they calmly rushed to the next battlefield may not even know why the characters in the movie are.
It's a sense of mission!
