Chapter 140: Preparations (2/28)
“… The investment of these two parts, none of them is less than 100 million!"
"Martial arts movies..."
Xu Hui took the two stacks of A4 paper, which were the project plans of "The Wind of the King" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
It's written in detail, especially since "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" accurately planned the consumption of each day!
As a rookie director, Chen Snail is really hard.
There's no way, fantasy and fairy tales are the self-reserved places of the great gods, and newcomers want to get ahead in addition to writing about cities and competitions, it's too difficult...
"I won't say anything about "The Wind of the King", after all, Wu Jing directed and acted by himself, and the investment of 120 million should be recovered, but "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"..."
"What's wrong with "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"? I think the script is okay!"
“… I didn't say the script, I meant the director you were looking for, Chen Snail!"
"Snails... has followed me for almost four movies, and in the last month of "New Dragon Gate Inn", basically, the crew was handed over to him to command... I'm sure he won't let me down!"
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor", continuing the 3D + IMAX shooting technique, except for a cadre of actors who changed the company's internal flowers, other investments cannot be saved.
According to the roughest estimates, it will cost at least 140 million yuan to produce it.
In addition, Chen Snail is the first time to serve as the chief person in charge of such a large crew, and at least about 20 million expenses have to be reserved.
In other words, Chen Snail, who is nearly 25 years old, has a total investment of 160 million in his first movie!
Of course, Huang Wen will have some concerns...
"Should the actor find someone with appeal, such as Yang Mi and Liu Yifei?"
“… I'm quite confident in "New Dragon Gate Inn"!"
Xu Hui replied to the question.
As long as the IP of "Dragon Gate Inn" is operated, I believe that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" will not be much worse...
Huang Wen sighed, he was still a little worried, but he didn't say anything: "... Okay, you just have to have faith!"
"And the temperament of love itself is also very suitable for playing roles such as chivalrous women..."
"It's up to you!"
Huang Wen got up and looked at the time: "Let's go?"
"Where are you going?"
Xu Hui also looked at his watch, it was only 10 o'clock, and it was still early before lunch...
"It's a meeting!"
……
The day-to-day life of the company's top management is all kinds of meetings...
They need to give directional advice.
The theme of this meeting is the National Day file.
“… We continue the style of "Little Dress" to focus on female audiences, so whether it is "Painted Wall" or "The Legend of the White Snake", the direct competition with us is not strong, I think, the main focus is on the routine of variety show publicity, and we can arrange more rumors of discord among the heroines..."
"It's already been arranged... Mr. Xu, since Ms. Yang Mi has decided to leave the company, can we make a fuss about her?"
The head of the propaganda department of the question.
“… What are you going to do?"
"According to the feedback from the crew, Yang Mi was late many times during filming, left early, and even couldn't find anyone on the set..."
“… You want to hype her up that she has no work ethic? Forget it, she's going to be popular now!"
Pao Hui didn't want to refuse directly.
It's probably his woman, he can be black, you can't have the mentality...
"I have already told the major theaters that they will give preferential treatment in some aspects when the film is scheduled... At least 30 percent of the film can be scheduled!"
"Mr. Xu, on the day of the premiere, shall we add 10 million or 8 million?"
“… Let's take a look at the actual situation, the reputation of "Little Dress" is not bad, Director Xue may be able to surprise us!"
On the first day of release, it is very common for the distribution company to push the box office.
As long as it's not too outrageous, there is generally no audience to care about.
Of course, Xu Hui's own films have passed the time when they need to push the box office, but some of the company's new directors and new works are on the market, and they still need to guide the market a little.
Otherwise, a masterpiece can only be quietly launched and quietly offline...
When "Old Boy" was released, it swiped 22 million at the box office on the first day, and the company advanced 8 million...
It's just that now Huiwen World has been listed.
It's better to get rid of this bad habit as soon as possible!
“… Mr. Huang and Mr. Xu, "The Legend of the White Snake" was released ahead of schedule, and they changed the release date to September 28!"
The head of the distribution department answered the phone, re-entered the conference room, and announced a message.
"September 28? Yang Zhi probably didn't know how powerful piracy was. ”
"People are not short of money, they can invite Li Lianjie to play a big supporting role..."
There was a lot of talk in the conference room.
I have already seen the trailer of "The Legend of the White Snake", revealing a strong Hengdian style, special effects... Comparable to the peak of Hong Kong movies in the 80s!
Chen Xiaodong has always lived in his memories, perhaps in his opinion, the special effects of "The Legend of the White Snake" are already the top in the world...
Ahem... To put it simply, "The Legend of the White Snake" has not yet been released, and it has been predicted that this will be a big bad movie!
Xu Hui looked at Huang Wen, who understood: "Don't laugh yet, let me ask you, what about "Painted Wall"?
"...There is no rumor about "Painted Wall"..."
"In this way, looking for a water army and someone who specializes in copywriting, as soon as "The Legend of the White Snake" is launched, it must make its reputation stink!"
Xu Hui finally spoke, thought about it, and added another sentence: "The same treatment as the "Painting Wall" over there, make it a little more obscure!"
"Yes!"
Huang Wen interjected: "What is the name of the producer of "The Legend of the White Snake"?
"But if this spreads, will it have a bad impact on the company's image?"
“… Small company, what's it, he has the courage to enter the game, don't blame us for stumbling on him, this is also a lesson for newcomers, everyone said, right?"
Xu Hui added lightly, and then looked at everyone on the field.
"Yes, they should be educated, or they all think that as long as they have money, they can do whatever they want!"
"Give the newcomer a little bit of a killing stick, this is what we are teaching him to adapt to the rules!"
……
At the end of the meeting, Xu Hui returned to his office.
He was a little tired.
"Search", which ended yesterday, has already come to work today!
In addition to Huang Wen's various urgings, there is one more thing, Zheng Shuang will come over later...
After all, who is the first female artist to sign a contract in the world, and the first member of the Paohui Harem Troupe, but the frost girl is comparative... was more resolute, and when he learned that Pao Hui had a new love, he directly dumped Pao Hui!
There is character!
In Sister Shuang's opinion, it is said that she can hone her acting skills with peace of mind, but in fact, she doesn't care.
If you really want to make her popular, then you shouldn't sign Zhao Liying!
I can't wait to confirm that Zhao Liying is the first sister of the company!
What about fairness?
