"On March 20th, "The Battle of Vulcan" will be released, and on April 9th, "Legend of the Holy Land"..."

In the conference room of Chenfei Media, a closed-door meeting of the company's senior management was being held, and Wan Xiaoquan talked eloquently into the microphone with a serious expression: "These two Hollywood special effects blockbusters are our biggest opponents, unless "A Chinese Ghost Story" is delayed until it is released in May, it will be unavoidable!"

Wan Xiaoquan returned to Beijing from Xiangjiang three days ago, and the day before he returned to Beijing, "A Chinese Ghost Story", which had exhausted its box office potential, ended perfectly in major theaters in Xiangjiang, with a cumulative box office of 105 million, ranking among the top 20 in the history of Xiangjiang.

If you exclude Hollywood blockbusters, among the Hong Kong and China-Hong Kong co-productions, "A Chinese Ghost Story" ranks 7th, which does not count the 42 million+ peripheral sales.

As the actual director of this movie, Wan Xiaoquan can be said to have made great contributions, in addition to the generous reward, he also got half a month of long-term treatment.

But Wan Xiaoquan did not choose to go out for a vacation, but immediately returned to China to help Lu Chen carry out the publicity layout of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in China.

He has a lot of experience in this area.

Others may not understand that "A Chinese Ghost Story" does not have Wan Xiaoquan's name on it, not only is he not disappointed and resentful, but he is trying his best to give advice to Chenfei Media, which is really a bit incredible.

However, Wan Xiaoquan's gratitude to Lu Chen has always been buried in his heart, he is not very good at expressing his emotions, so he uses actions to repay Lu Chen's kindness.

Lu Chen pulled Wan Xiaoquan when he was most down, gave him invaluable trust, let him make a comeback in Xiangjiang, and gave him a work destined to become a classic.

It really doesn't matter if you have a name or not.

The serious thing is that if his name is in the subtitles of the film, it will not pass the review of radio and television at all.

And Wan Xiaoquan also really admires Lu Chen, the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was written by Lu Chen, many of the sub-scenes were drawn by Lu Chen, plus the excellent soundtrack, it is not a big problem to change the director.

In this way, Wan Xiaoquan needs to prove his ability, where can he have leisure to go on vacation!

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is not optimistic about the situation faced by its recent release in China, "The Battle of Vulcan" is a sci-fi blockbuster shot by American Superstar Pictures with an investment of 170 million US dollars, and it has won 270 million US dollars at the box office in the United States.

Douglas, the president of Superstar Pictures, threatened to win a box office of 1 billion in China, which can be described as full of confidence.

In contrast, Lion Pictures' fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Holy Land" is weaker, but the investment in this film is not much worse than that of "Battle for Vulcan", reaching $150 million, and will be released in the United States.

If "A Chinese Ghost Story" chooses to be released at this point in time, it will face two Hollywood blockbusters, and it will undoubtedly be quite difficult to achieve Lu Chen's goal of 500 million box office.

But it will be even worse if it is delayed until it is released in May.

At present, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has pirated resources on the Internet, but they are all CAM and TS versions, that is, the so-called gun version and quasi-gun version, and the quality is very poor enough to threaten the box office.

Now the state still attaches great importance to the copyright protection of domestic films, including Hong Kong films, and if the high-definition version of the film comes out during the release of the film, it will inevitably be severely cracked down, and the intensity after the release will be much smaller.

CAM and TS versions have very little impact, and the producers have turned a blind eye, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been released recently, but if it drags on for a long time, it will be very difficult to control the high-definition version coming out.

At that time, the impact on the box office will be even greater!

"A Chinese Ghost Story will not be postponed..."

Lu Chen said categorically: "Even in May, there will still be Hollywood blockbuster competition, we can't avoid it, it's better to fight with them vigorously, it doesn't matter if we lose!"

"Besides, we may not lose yet!"

The cost of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has long been recovered, and the excess profits are more than enough for domestic promotion, and how much box office revenue is profit, if you are still afraid of competition, then simply don't make movies.

Many domestic filmmakers have a kind of "aesthetic phobia", and the box office failure of the film is often blamed on the competing Hollywood blockbusters in the same period, lamenting that they are inferior in terms of technical strength, and complaining about the country's opening up to the film market.

As a result, the "Domestic Film Protection Month" in July and August has become a sweet spot, and various film companies have sharpened their heads and drilled in, fighting for schedules.

That is, in recent years, domestic films have relied on youth films, idol films and online IP films to recover some of the decline, and the situation has finally improved a lot.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" and these three genres are not related, but Lu Chen has no fear of Hollywood blockbusters, because he has never thought of taking a handful of them in the domestic film market, his goal is long-term, building a high-standard indoor studio and forming a special effects production team are all around this goal.

Lu Chen's self-confidence and courage to face the challenge infected everyone present, Wan Xiaoquan smiled: "Then we have to increase publicity efforts and develop a targeted publicity strategy, boss, you and the boss lady show their affection on the blog, the effect is absolutely good and saves money." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, they didn't expect Wan Xiaoquan, who had always been serious, to joke.

Lu Chen smiled bitterly: "I... Do your best. ”

Although Wan Xiaoquan was joking, what he said was still very reasonable, as far as the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" is concerned, the tens of millions of fans of Lu Chen and Chen Feier are undoubtedly the largest ticket base.

The two increased their interaction on the blog and broke out the small material, both of which were side promotions of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The meeting ended in two hours, and it is worth mentioning that the already released "Painted Skin" was not within the scope of discussion, so it was brought with a sentence.

Because no one regards "Painted Skin", a defeated general, as an opponent, there is naturally no value for discussion.

It is estimated that Cui Xingxian, the head of Huaguan Pictures, knew that he vomited blood three times.

After the meeting ended, Lu Chen had just returned to his office when Lu Xi's assistant Chen Xin came over.

My sister has something important to look for him.

Lu Chen felt a little strange, so he immediately rushed to Lu Xi's general manager's office.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xi didn't answer directly, but twisted the computer display on the table 180 degrees to show him.

The webpage opened on the screen is the entertainment version of a big website in China, and the bold and black title on it is very eye-catching, which makes Lu Chen's eyelids jump!

"Golden Luan Award nominations leaked, the hit drama "Blue Life and Death Love" is not on the list!"
