Chapter 254 Star Wars vs Lucky Star 2?

Next chapter

"For the publicity work of the film, remember to follow up with the Propaganda Department!"

In the morning, at the company's regular meeting, Wu Cheng said to Susan, the manager of the publicity department, at the meeting.

"In addition, ......" Wu Cheng said, looked at Shi Nansheng, and said: "Vice President Shi, over there in the distribution department, has the translation of 'Star Wars' been done?" Although 'Fuxing 2' is being released, there are six shows a day, and it is completely possible to give two shows to 'Star Wars'. ”

Shi Nansheng glanced at Cen Jianxun, who was temporarily called over by Wu Cheng, and said, "If that's the case, the films of other companies can only be moved temporarily, is that really okay?"

Cen Jianxun smiled when he heard this: "There is no problem! I have already arranged this matter." Although 'Fuxing 2' is being released, as time goes by, the audience will definitely become smaller and smaller, and it is normal to reduce the number of screenings. When the time comes, those evened out screens can be handed over to the films of other film companies. ”

Shi Nansheng nodded and said, "In three days, 'Star Wars' will be released, as long as there are no problems in the theater." However, the propaganda ......"

Wu Cheng smiled: "You don't need to be too vigorous in publicity, after all, our main propaganda target is 'Fuxing 2'." In comparison, 'Star Wars' may not be able to achieve a high box office in Xiangjiang. It is also very normal if there is any phenomenon of adaptation to the soil and water. ”

That's right, but Wu Cheng feels that the emergence of 'Star Wars' will definitely have a certain impact on 'Fuxing 2'. Although there are indeed differences between Eastern and Western cultures, you can watch 'Star Wars' and see special effects. In this day and age, movies like 'Star Wars' don't exist at all, and it's very normal for audiences to be attracted to it.

'Lucky Star 2' is much weaker than it.

However, he did this, not only to give Hong Jinbao face, but also to save the face of Donglong International. At the same time, it also leaves a fig leaf for Chinese movies.

When the popularity of 'Lucky Star 2' has passed, it's too late to promote 'Star Wars'.

Wu Cheng nodded, looked at Shi Nansheng and Susan, and said, "Then 'Star Wars' will be released in a week." Half a month later, the Propaganda Department stepped up its propaganda on the 'Star Wars'. Twenty days later, the publicity turned to "Happy Ghost", and a month later, the theater chain was ready to release "Happy Ghost"!"

……

After the work is scheduled. At the end of the meeting, Hong Jinbao said to Wu Cheng with some embarrassment: "Ah Cheng, thank you! However, is it really okay for you to do this?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Cheng glanced at him suspiciously, and then continued to walk in the direction of the office. Behind them, Le Yiling held the information and followed cautiously.

Hung Jinbao smiled bitterly: "The potential of 'Star Wars' can be seen from some overseas reports. Its sudden arrival at the top of the North American box office charts almost as a dark horse also illustrates a qiē. 'Lucky Star 2' is good, but it's ...... compared to it."

Wu Cheng smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I don't mean to deliberately suppress 'Star Wars', although it is also my company's film." Moreover, 'Star Wars' and 'Lucky Star 2' are two films of different natures, and the competition between them will not be too fierce. ”

After a pause, he continued: "However. You know the potential of Star Wars. If you had to choose which movie to watch first, I think you would choose 'Star Wars' first! After all, the plot of 'Lucky Star 2' must be linked to 'Lucky Star 1', and 'Star Wars' is a special effects blockbuster that has never been seen before. If two films are released at the same time. At the same time, it is very detrimental to 'Fuxing 2'. As the owner of two companies, I naturally need to think about this. ”

"That's why I said thank you!" Hong Jinbao said with some emotion.

Wu Cheng chuckled and reached out to pat his arm. said: "Don't think too much, I don't want 'Fuxing 2' to encounter Waterloo, it's all money!"

Wu Cheng feels that if the two films become a competitive relationship, then for him, no matter who wins or loses, he will lose. As long as the potential of 'Fuxing 2' is exploded, and then 'Star Wars' is released, the benefits can be maximized, and he can get more.

When the two came to the office, Wu Cheng smiled and asked him to sit down, and then asked Le Yiling to make them a cup of coffee. "Brother Sanmao, have you thought about what film you want to make next?"

Hong Jinbao smiled and said: "I originally wrote a book with Xunqi and was going to shoot, but Ah Long wanted to ask me to be a producer over there." And I didn't feel very relieved about the kid, so I agreed, and looked at him by the way, so as not to let him do anything. ”

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "That book is called "Beware of Little Hands", right! Deputy Manager Chen mentioned it to me before, saying that he was going to build a group to shoot in the second half of the year. ”

Wu Cheng remembered that this play was written by Huang Bingyao, but for some reason, before Huang Bingyao appeared, it became something of Hong Jinbao and Chen Xunqi.

Chen Xunqi mentioned it to him before, saying that it was an idea that the two of them came up with, and finally asked the company's screenwriting team to write it. The script was also brought over to Wu Cheng to read, and finally Wu Cheng revised it again.

"Yes!"

Wu Cheng nodded, wondering in his heart whether to let them make this film.

Originally, this film was a work of 82 years, but there are still four or five years to go, and this film also won Hung Jinbao the Best Actor at the Xiangjiang Academy Awards.

Of course, the Xiangjiang Academy Awards have not yet appeared, and Wu Cheng has pondered before whether to let this award appear in advance! But think about it, this matter is actually quite cumbersome, and he has so many things to do, so he will put it aside in advance.

If this movie is filmed in advance, it will be tantamount to losing Hung Jinbao's Best National Leading Role at the Academy Awards. Yes, he hesitated at the time.

But then I thought about it, if Hong Jinbao wants to win the award, he doesn't necessarily need this drama, they want to shoot it, then let them shoot it!

If he really does that, it is estimated that Chen Xunqi will have an opinion! He has no opinion, but if the company loses such a talent because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Deputy Manager Chen, what do you say?" Wu Cheng asked.

Hong Jinbao smiled: "He doesn't have any opinions, anyway, the drama hasn't started filming yet." It also takes a month or two from preparation to shooting. This time is enough to keep Aaron's side on the right track, or maybe, when the filming on his side is over. ”

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Then let Deputy Manager Chen start the preparations!"

Hong Jinbao nodded, the two chatted for a while, and Hong Jinbao got up to say goodbye, because Huang Baiming knocked on the door at this time and entered.

After Hong Jinbao left, Wu Cheng asked Huang Baiming to sit down, then turned around and took out a script from the drawer and handed it to him, saying: "The post-production of "Happy Ghost" has ended, and now it's time to promote and release it. But this matter has been arranged before.,You take advantage of this time.,Familiarize yourself with this book first.。 I hope that after the release of "Happy Ghost", you will start preparing for this drama!"

Huang Baiming glanced at the script that was written "Eight Stars Annunciation", looked at Wu Cheng with some doubts, and said, "Boss, what do you mean, let me direct this play?"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "You have also been the assistant director of "Happy Ghost", and you are no stranger to these procedures for shooting a movie......

"But boss, I—I don't have much confidence in myself!"

Although Huang Baiming is grateful for Wu Cheng's attention, he is also aware of his strengths, although he is a little eager to be a director, he knows that he is better at screenwriting and planning, and he is actually not too good at being a director.

Wu Cheng also knows this, in fact, in the original historical time and space, there are not many opportunities and times for this guy to be a director, because there is no shortage of directors in the new art city.

Don't talk about Xu Ke, let's talk about Mai baldhead, in terms of directing ability, Mai bald head is stronger than him.

Wu Cheng smiled and said: "If you don't have confidence, you can cultivate it slowly! Moreover, you first familiarize yourself with the script, go back and find some locations, get those sets right first, and then make a storyboard script according to the picture of the script...... Also, I'll be the executive producer of the show, and if something is wrong, I'll warn you. After a pause, he said: "Besides, this drama will not be released until the Spring Festival, and you still have half a year to tinker with, what is there to worry about?"

"I—I'm worried about messing up!" Huang Baiming was embarrassed and moved.

Wu Cheng chuckled when he heard this, leaned back against the big chair, and said: "I think that at the beginning, I only served as an assistant director in Brother Sanmao's crew, and I dared to pick up the guide tube by myself, you have followed so many crews, will you be worse than me at that time? You know, at that time, I was only sixteen years old!"

Huang Baiming smiled bitterly, secretly slandering himself, how dare normal people compare with demons!

He knew that Wu Cheng came to Xiangjiang at the age of fifteen to shoot his first drama and become an assistant director, and at the age of sixteen, he directed himself and made his first movie, and now at the age of seventeen, he has made three movies.

In him, he is always so confident, and there is no time when he is not confident.

But he is Huang Baiming, not him Wu Cheng!

"If you really don't have confidence, just find an experienced assistant director, this kind of assistant director, our company should not be lacking!" Wu Cheng said again.

In fact, there is indeed no shortage of such assistant directors in the company. But in Wu Cheng's view, these assistant directors are only experienced, and they do not have the spirituality of those great directors in later generations.

In Xiangjiang, as long as you are a director with some ability, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get ahead, because in the first ten years, when Xiangjiang films were booming, there were many opportunities.

However, the big waves wash the sand, and the capable directors surface, and those who are capable can only sink into the sand forever. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
