The sample has been sent to the third master, and the third master has also received a positive reply, saying that the number of films scheduled must be higher than 10%.

To be honest, the 10% film schedule is a bit low in Li Zhe's opinion, you must know that if the current movie wants to break 10 million at the box office, the probability of less than 20% of the film schedule is very low.

But this can't be blamed on the third master, because even the 10% of the scheduled films were honestly guaranteed by the third master. It's not that the theater chain thinks this movie is bad, but that the opponents competing with "Nightclub" in the same period are too strong.

The first is "The Matrix 2", which is one of the Hollywood blockbusters introduced in China this year, and the release date has been confirmed. It was Friday, July 18th.

And "Nightclub" was very unlucky, and the release date was also on this day.

"The Matrix 2" landed in China at this time with the momentum of sweeping the world, and "The Matrix 2" in the United States did not damage the reputation of the front seat, but made the series more sublimated.

At this time, the film schedule of "The Matrix 2" must not be low, and the main theme movie "Approaching Taizu" will also have to divide a large number of films, and the remaining 30% of the film schedule will be given to Brother Ji, small fish and small shrimp.

In this way, it seems that "Nightclub" can get 10% of the film schedule in this schedule, thanks to the influence of the third master.

And this schedule is not only a tiger in front of you, but also a wolf chasing behind.

At the beginning of August, another Disney-released "Finding Nemo" will be released, and according to the inside information revealed by the third master, there are seven or eight big names to dub "Finding Nemo" this time, including Zhang Guoli and Xu Fan.

If "Finding Nemo" is an animated film and "Nightclub" has a different audience, then another movie released in mid-August made Li Zhe a little disheartened.

"Terminator 3", Schwarzenegger's latest masterpiece. Not to mention how popular the Terminator series is around the world, just one Schwarzenegger is enough to make many people take out their wallets and buy tickets.

This is not the end, after the release of "Terminator 3", Liu Dehua's "Big Man with Great Wisdom" will be released, this is the drama of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the film schedule must be sufficient.

What made Li Zhe even more desperate was that only a week later, "The Matrix 3" was released on the National Day.

Yes, you read that right. This time, "The Matrix" was filmed together with the second and third parts, and then released separately.

After the popularity of "The Matrix 2" passes, the third part will follow immediately, so that with the reputation of the second part, the third part can also usher in a bumper harvest.

It can be said that this year's summer file is a dragon fight, of course, "Nightclub" is neither qualified to be a dragon nor a tiger. Now it looks like cannon fodder.

"Third master, can you change the schedule?"

Li Zhe found Han Sanhua and said what he thought. How to mix this summer file, I'm afraid that it won't be directly slapped on the shore by a few blockbusters and sunburned.

"Which schedule do you want to change?"

Huh?

Li Zhe was a little surprised, he originally just came to Han San with the idea of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse.

"There is "The Matrix 3" in the National Day file, or should it be changed to the Christmas schedule?"

Han Sanhua glanced at him and said: "There is Xiangjiang's "Infernal Affairs 3" in the Christmas schedule, and Liu Dehua is the starring role. and Huayi Feng Gangcang's "Mobile Phone", starring Ge Wei, Zhang Guoli and Fan Binbin. Are you sure it's going to be released for Christmas?"

“……”

Han Sanbei looked at Li Zhe's appearance, shook his head and said, "Do you think you're afraid of "The Matrix" and "The Terminator"? I can tell you clearly that "Infernal Affairs" and "Mobile Phone" also escaped after hearing that there were blockbusters of the American imperialists in the summer file. ”

Only then did Li Zhe understand that the movies that have the ability to escape may have escaped long ago, and the only ones left are these small-budget movies to face the blockbusters of the US imperialists.

However, he was not dead yet, and continued to ask, "What about next year?"

Han Sanhua frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Li Zhe's idea.

"It's only May, and you're still thinking about escaping until next year? And I'm telling you, even next year, there will be no shortage of movies. Your current film schedule is quite good, and those with a little strength have run away, and your opponent in "Nightclub" is only "The Matrix 2". ”

Li Zhe's face was sad, and it seemed that he was going to pay compensation.

"But we're really no match for The Matrix. ”

He still knows what level his movies are, and "Nightclub" is definitely not a one-of-a-kind enemy of "The Matrix".

"I didn't expect you to defeat The Matrix, how could you complete this thing that Feng Gangcang and Zhang Yimou didn't dare to guarantee. But at this time, "The Matrix" eats meat, let it heat up the big plate, and then you just drink the soup.

You have nearly 20 days, which is almost enough for you to return to your capital, and even if you don't return your capital, you won't lose too much. ”

After finishing speaking, the third master also sighed helplessly.

"Alas, now domestic films can't compete with American imperialist blockbusters. Look at "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" at the beginning of the year, which actually won 52 million at the box office with us. If there is no blockbuster like "Hero" in the future, I am afraid that this year's annual crown will have to be a blockbuster of American imperialism. ”

Li Zhe listened quietly to the third master's complaints, and he knew that the third master was also helpless now.

"Tell me, don't I want to make the domestic film schedule a little higher? I think, but it's useless for me to say it alone. In the case of a market economy, of course, the audience will put more of it if they like to watch it. Now the blockbusters of the American imperialists are popular, and our movies are just not as good as others, what can I do. ”

The third master is very upset, he has been committed to developing China's local films and developing China's film market, but he is also powerless for the current situation.

After venting a lot, the third master calmed down. said tiredly: "Xiao Li, you go back first, there is no need to talk about changing gears." But I'll give you a way to arrange the film. ”

Li Zhe knew that this was already the maximum promise that the third master could give, of course, he couldn't help but know what was wrong. He nodded in agreement, and then went back with mixed feelings.

After going back, Lin Weiqiang pulled Li Zhe and asked, "How is it?

"No, but the third master said that he was trying to figure out a way for us in filming. ”

Lin Weiqiang was a little disappointed, he regretted agreeing to Li Zhe's invitation since he knew that the movie would be released this summer. In such a tragic summer file, their 2 million small investment movie should be cannon fodder at most.

"Well, there is no way. Let's do more propaganda now, we can only hope that "The Matrix" will eat meat and leave us some soup. ”

Not to mention that Lin Weiqiang has no ambition, in recent years, the pressure on Chinese filmmakers from American imperialist blockbusters has been too great, so that they dare not compete with it at all.
