Verse 319: Why?
If Duane were just an actor, then his nomination for the Huabiao Award as a man would be big news, but he also has the status of a director, especially since his highly anticipated new film is about to be released on October 1, so the news has a richer meaning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That is to pull the propaganda of "Liberation Day".
"At this juncture, it's really good to break out such news, how much publicity money has it saved us?"
Han Sanping sat next to Du An and said this.
Du An was noncommittal, turned his head and looked casually - Zhu Qian and Jia Hongsheng were sitting in front of him, and Shu Yu and others were sitting in the left hand aisle.
This is the promotional lineup for Liberation Day.
Du An, who stayed at home for less than a day in September, was taken out to cooperate with the crew to participate in the national tour of propaganda, and now it is the 3rd, they have finished their propaganda work in Beijin, and are about to leave for Shanghai - it is also a sin, and they have just come from Shanghai two days ago and are about to go back.
Du An didn't speak, and Han Sanping continued by himself, "After all, the example of "Wuji" is in front of you, alas, ......" he said and sighed.
Duane understood what he meant: "Wuji", which occupied the highest investment throne before their "Liberation Day", was successfully released in the first half of this year, but it did not match the unanimous optimism of the public and the media before, and "Wuji" suffered Waterloo - on a series of websites such as Douban and Watching Movies, several households complained about "Wuji" on the ground, and the Douban score was only 4.6, and even the passing line was not reached, it is hard to imagine that the director of this film and the director of another work with a score of 9.4 are the same person.
Affected by word-of-mouth, the box office of "Wu Ji" quickly fell into an embarrassment after the initial momentum, and as of the time of the global painting, it received a total of 1.87 billion box office, not to mention the "three billion qualified" goal set by the public, that is, it failed to reach even two billion, which still occupies an advantage of the rapid growth of the box office in the early stage - simply put, if it were not for the signboards of "Chen Kaige" and many stars thrown here, the box office would be even more ugly.
"Actually, the most unlucky person in this matter is not Lao Chen, it is us who are unlucky, Niang Xipi!"
As he spoke, Han Sanping, a native of Shudi, suddenly came out with a dialect from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which attracted Du An's sideways.
"He didn't lose money anyway, but he smashed the signboard of the big production mode, everyone is big production as a selling point, he planted the bitter fruit, but we ate it. ”
It's no wonder that Han Sanping is so annoyed, but after the accident of "Wuji", the market seems to have been silent about the model of large investment all of a sudden - after all, big investment means big risks, and not everyone is Chen Kaige.
According to market research, many audiences who were very optimistic about the big investment in "Liberation Day" and planned to go to the theater to watch it for the first time after the accident of "Wuji", they chose "will wait and see the public evaluation before deciding whether to watch it or not" One of the major advantages of large investment is to arouse the interest of the audience with a huge amount of investment, and attract the audience to enter the theater at the first time, but now this advantage has become a disadvantage that prevents the audience from entering the theater for the first time.
Du ane comforted: "You just be happy, fortunately there is only one "Wuji", if there are two more "Wuji", our movie will not need to be released." ”
Han Sanping closed his mouth and thought about it, but still shook his head, "You don't want this idea." After speaking, he added: "I originally wanted to take a ride on "Wuji", but I didn't expect it...... Hey, this hitchhiker has become a headwind, or a headwind of a level 8 typhoon, the situation is grim, otherwise, my old body really doesn't have the heart to accompany you young people to run around. ”
"Fortunately, this news came out on your side, and it didn't cost a penny to have so much media traffic, which happened to be a month before the release, which is a big help. ”
Du An responded to his words without a match, but Han Sanping seemed to have entered menopause in advance, and after talking about this stubble and the next stubble, I don't know if he was too excited by Du An's sudden big news.
"We actually have a bit of a problem with this schedule, and it's best to put it in December at the end of the year or January next year. ”
Duane blinked, but didn't say a word.
He originally planned to put the schedule in December, but unfortunately......
"It's a pity,"
He didn't speak, Han Sanping spoke up for him, "Lao Zhang is also going to be in December, it's really not good for you to have a hard encounter with him, so you can only advance it." ”
The old Zhang in Han Sanping's mouth is naturally Zhang Yi, and now there are only a few people in the Chinese film and television industry who can make Du An take the initiative to retreat.
"If you do this, you're going to run into Cheng Long,"
Han Sanping seemed to remember something, frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "You seem to have been against Cheng Long last year, right?"
Duane didn't even think about it and said, "Well, that's right, "Myth." ”
"That's right!"
Han Sanping patted the armrest, "It's "Mythology." He glanced at Duane, "Last year it was "Terminator" vs. "Myth", and this year is "Liberation Day" vs. "Baby Project", you two are really coincidental, this is going to be a bargain." ”
Duane chuckled and shook his head.
Before scheduling the film, he didn't expect it to be so coincidental, for two consecutive years against Cheng Long, but it is better for Cheng Long than for Zhang Yimou, if you think that neither of them is right, the schedule is not so good, so they still set the golden schedule of Eleven.
"I won last year,"
When he said this, he shut up, and Han Sanping should understand the rest of the meaning.
Of course, Han Sanping understood, but he was not as confident as Du An.
""Project Baby" is a commercial film through and through, if we were on "Terminator 2" now, I am confident, but "Liberation Day" ......"
Han Sanping shook his head, a little embarrassed, "Lao Zhang was ...... back then"
He obviously remembered the past of Zhang Yi's "Jaguar".
Du An looked at him and asked, "Third Master, you have also seen the film, do you think it will not be successful?"
Han Sanping thought for a while and said, "I think it's pretty good, it really makes me feel like I'm suddenly enlightened, but it's useless for you to ask my opinion." He smiled and continued, "There are a lot of movies that I think are made of something, but they make money, and there are a lot of films that I think are good but they don't make money. ”
When Du An heard what he said, he understood it: when he said it, he still had no confidence in "Liberation Day", thinking that he couldn't escape Zhang Yi's curse.
This is really fucked, the movie hasn't been released yet, because of the historical reasons of this year and the historical reasons of the last century, everyone seems to have a thought: Zhang Yi didn't do it, why can you do it?
"Why don't we publicize it?"
Duane said suddenly.
In fact, he didn't advertise Zheng and his intentions, but he knew that Han Sanping would not agree.
Sure enough, Han Sanping smiled and said: "The propaganda work must still be done in place, and the work must be active, and we must not be passive and slack off." ”
Duane smiled and said something to him.
"I think what Zhang Yi can't do has nothing to do with me, he hasn't won the best director in his twenties, but I did. ”
When Han Sanping heard this, he was stunned. (To be continued.) )
