Chapter Ninety-Five: No Golden Signboard Required
"You're really going to replace Prison Storm?"
In the 'struggle room' of the new art city, Xu Wei's eyebrows were twisted. Huang Baiming, who was sitting on the side, was full of unhappiness, obviously just finished arguing with Mai Jia and Shi Yan.
Now it is the turn of the hot-tempered Xu Qi to appear on the stage, and after determining the meaning of Mai Jia and others, he said in a deep voice: ""Prison Storm" must be released at Christmas, and my publicity has already been played, and one more day of delay is an extra day's loss." ”
"My film studio is at its own expense right now, and if you play like this, you're playing with me. Say a good schedule, say change it, are you kidding me?"
"Old Monster Xu, everyone has something to say. What do you mean by us playing you? It's true that you're at your own expense, but your film studio is still under the name of New Arts City. Everyone is prosperous and lossy, why should you!" Shi Yan's face changed instantly, and his eyes looked at Xu Yan sharply.
Back then, Xu Meng was just a frustrated little director of the new wave they dug up, but now his wings are stiff and he can fly, and he dares to turn around and call the boss, he is really a negative 'white-eyed wolf'.
The first Mai Jia was also dissatisfied with Xu Qi's attitude, but everyone has been colleagues for so many years, and everyone's temperament is clear. Xu Qian belongs to the kind of person who has a hot temper and doesn't choose to say anything when he gets mad.
Everyone is still eating in the same pot, and when we communicate with each other every day, I understand you. Now you go out to start a sect and do it alone, and you also do a box office documentary movie like "The True Color of Heroes", and you play this character again.
In the eyes of Shi Yan and others, you Xu Qian is no one in your eyes, and you have begun to become arrogant.
Regarding Xu Qi's current appearance, Mai Jia also said bluntly: "The film studio is still under the name of New Art City, Golden Harvest's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" is coming straight to Christmas, and you should know very well the power of Fang Long's action movies." ”
"The sequel to "True Colors of Heroes" has not been beaten, you should know it yourself. No matter how good the first part is, it is difficult for the sequel to reach new heights. I've already given you a place, and you can't talk about it if you're greedy?"
"Can't tell?"
Xu Xian glared angrily and sneered: "So far this year, there is only one of the top ten works at the box office in Hong Kong - "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Xinyicheng. I don't know how many follow-up works there are, which one doesn't make money?"
"Chen Jialuo has the ability, of course I have to fight for him as the boss. And this schedule was agreed before. ”
Speaking of which, Xu Wei almost slapped him in the face. This year's new art city is indeed like a lonely sunset, and there are no excellent works. Even "Dragon and Tiger", which has a good reputation and a decent box office, only earned more than 19 million in Hong Kong, temporarily ranking eleventh on the box office list of Hong Kong films this year.
On the other hand, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exceeded the 30 million mark, which is the second highest-grossing film of Xiangjiang films this year, and instantly became popular with Leslie Cheung and Wang Xian, and the whole Southeast Asia is fascinated by this movie.
Even before this movie was released, the works that followed the trend had already been shoddy and rushed out to make money while it was hot.
Now Xu Yan's meaning is very clear, you say that Jiahe Fanglong's action movie is too cruel, I'm afraid I can't stop it. Okay, so what dare you say you can stop this year?
"Besides, my publicity and distribution fees have been allocated, and advertising can't be in vain. You can't say that the ad is going to be played and the movie is not coming out. My Xu Xian's face is worthless, but it can't be trampled on!"
"What are you talking about, who is the boss? Who has the right to decide the case!" Shi Yan was also angry, and stood up with a "snap".
Hearing this, Xu Mian was originally angry, but it was limited to the debate over the release time. This will Shi Yan say this, where can he stand it: "Yes, Brother Yan, you are the big boss." As the younger brother, we are responsible for filming for you. But this is not the case, I didn't have the right to say anything before, but this time, I will definitely not give in to Wesleyan Legends. ”
After saying this, Xu Wei turned around and prepared to leave.
Teddy Robin sat in the corner, watching them arguing with cold eyes. He didn't know how many times he had seen such a situation.
"After the release of "Prison Storm", only the name of 'film studio' will be hung, and the success or failure will only be the responsibility of our film studio, which will not affect the golden signboard of New Art City. Xu Qian suddenly stopped, and never looked back after saying this.
With a 'bang', Xu Miao slammed the door and left, leaving Maijia and the others with nowhere to release their anger.
"Ah, what you said later was indeed a bit excessive. Talking about what the boss is not the boss, isn't this forcing people to turn their faces!" Mecca was expressionless and said: "Since he doesn't want to go to the plaque of Xinyi City, let him be." ”
Shi Yan frowned and said, "What about the Wesleyan Legend?"
"It's released at the same time, which is stronger and which is weak, and the theater will know. Mecca said coldly.
It stands to reason that a heavyweight movie produced by the same company will naturally not deliberately crash and start fighting. Just like when the movie "The True Color of Heroes" was a hit, Xu Xian's own works such as "Sword and Horse" personally made way for it and extended its release cycle.
Now Mecca obviously meant to fight in the ring. Since you Xu Xian don't want to hang the golden signboard of the new art city, let's see who is right and who is wrong!
Huang Baiming, who had been silent after the quarrel, heard this, got up and left directly, without saying anything.
In his opinion, it is impossible for the new art city to disperse. Mai Jia and Shi Yan are obviously the biggest attitude of the king of heaven Lao Tzu, the boss should get used to it, but he doesn't want to think about whether Xu Wei wants to quit the new art city, or Boss Lei personally comes forward to keep it, so he continues to stay in the new art city in the form of a satellite company.
Take a look at Xu Qing's works after independence, "The True Color of Heroes", "Sword and Horse", "A Chinese Ghost Story", ...... Which one is not a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office? In this case, even if it goes to Boss Lei, it is impossible to cancel his schedule.
……
"Arlo, "Prison Storm" is released as usual, you don't have to worry. After returning to the film studio, the first thing Xu Qian did was to call Chen Jialuo over and tell him about the schedule.
Chen Jialuo smiled and said: "I haven't worried about this problem, but Brother Ming, your face is full of anger, and you are still uncomfortable after winning the battle?"
"It's okay, I used to do it every day. It's rare to quarrel now, but I'm not used to it. Xu Meng turned to a smile and said: "The opponents in the Christmas schedule are very strong, if you can fight it, you will definitely become the leading director in Xiangjiang." ”
A "A Chinese Ghost Story" can make Chen Jialuo famous, even if it is a big hit, it can only be said to be a phenomenal work, and the great advantage lies in the subject matter. But as long as Chen Jialuo can maintain the quality of the film and "Prison Storm" is out of the encirclement, then he is one of the first-line directors in Xiangjiang.
Regarding Xu Xian's encouragement, Chen Jialuo nodded and said: "My movie will not waste Brother Mian to fight this battle." ”
