Chapter 431: The Next Wave of Enemies
"Is this the key?" Wang Zhongjun took a deep breath and almost yelled at his brother, thinking to himself, is our "Assembly" a comedy?
He sat down angrily, his gloomy face was a little distorted, and said, "Zheng Jun, didn't you say that we have covered all channels in this propaganda?" Why didn't you advertise it on Weibo? ”
This time, "Dear" only used one channel as publicity, which exceeded their level of 50 million publicity expenses, but the people in their own company didn't even think about promoting it through Weibo. [Full text reading]
What a great opportunity!? If they also engage in an activity similar to "beating abduction and shooting" on Weibo, will they Huayi lose to a small company like Shangying?
The propaganda manager named Zheng Jun almost vomited blood when he heard this, and thought to himself, isn't this chairman an afterthought......
"Mr. Wang, the development of Weibo has indeed exceeded our expectations, and I have urged Director Feng to open a blog...... But he didn't want to. ”
Feng Xiaogang's original words were: "My movie has sold more than 200 million, are you still not satisfied? If I don't open Weibo, won't I be able to make movies? ”
"This Feng Xiaogang ......" Wang Zhongjun was helpless when he heard it, and finally sat down and tempered a punch on the table: "Why can Gu Xiaofan always create new and good genre films?" How come we didn't think of a movie about crutches? This theme is obviously very hot...... Damn, there are 14 more American films coming in this year, how will we expand the market in the future? ”
Thinking that their market is about to face more cruel competition, Wang Zhongjun feels both angry and depressed, their Chinese New Year market has been impacted by China Film and Shanghai Film, and they want to expand the schedule of other months and have to face, the surging Hollywood movies, how will Huayi move forward in the future?
At this time, Wang Zhonglei's eyes suddenly lit up and asked: "Can the theme of abduction be used as a genre film in the summer file?" ”
"Good idea, while this heat is still there, we will borrow this shareholder wind blown by Gu Xiaofan, do you have a script?" Wang Zhongjun sat up as soon as he heard this, instead of self-pity here, it is better to find a way to continue to grab the market, since the Chinese New Year file has not been saved, then it is better to fight for it in the summer file, didn't Gu Xiaofan's "Chinese Partner" last year kill a bloody road?
"Yes, it's not just a good script." Wang Zhonglei finally smiled and said: "And there are good actors, Liu Dehua wants to act in this movie very much, the name of the movie is "Orphaned", before he wanted to shoot "Dear" was rejected by Gu Xiaofan, this time he plans to be the producer himself." ”
This made Wang Zhongjun feel very surprised, but he didn't expect such a good thing to hit him, so he finally decided to use "Lost Orphans" to Bo Yibo in this year's summer file.
Since Gu Xiaofan has created this momentum, why can't they use this popularity to block Hollywood's opponents?
On Monday, the Association held its first general meeting of directors in 2008.
This time, the directors of the 27 unit associations entered the conference room, and the atmosphere was completely different from before, in the past, the directors were only divided into two major factions, and this time the Shanghai Film Group, which won the box office championship for the Chinese New Year, has soared in prestige and has faintly become a third-party force in the Chinese film industry.
Gu Xiaofan, and Wanda's Ye Zhiqiu, Guangguang Media's Bao Lidong had a very happy conversation, in addition to the strength of Shanghai United Cinema, now Shanghai Film has the support of two dozen theaters in the eight major cinema chains, although the strength is not as good as China Film and Huayi, but it is not much worse.
Han Sanpin, when Wang Zhongjun's eyes glanced at Gu Xiaofan, although they tried their best to suppress it, they still had a vague look of anger and hostility.
If it weren't for the endless fighting between the two of them, Gu Xiaofan would never be allowed to take advantage of this loophole.
After everyone sat down, Director Shen of the Film Bureau began to say the opening remarks with a smile on his face:
"New Year, New Atmosphere, everyone's efforts throughout last year have made the performance of domestic films soar~ It's gratifying to congratulate~ Last year, the total box office of our domestic films increased by 39%, and the three films in the New Year file contributed a lot~ Let's applaud them~"
There was a burst of warm applause from everyone at the scene, and the representatives of the theater were full of energy and clapped their hands very hard, while Han Sanpin, Wang Zhongjun, and the representatives of film companies were a little stiff in their smiles.
Next, Director Shen began to officially announce: "According to the instructions of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the strong support of all parties, our association has decided to increase the quota of 20 imported films per year from this year to 34...... In order to enhance the development of China's film industry~"
Yan Chao, the most sycophant director, immediately praised loudly: "Thanks to the wise instructions of the organization leaders, so that our cinema chain can be more prosperous, we are a representative of the New Arts Federation, and this year we will increase the number of screens by 3%~!" ”
As soon as he said this, representatives of other theaters also responded and raised their hands to shout.
"We Sichuan Pacific will increase the number of screens by 4% this year~!"
"Southern Cinema aims to increase by 5% this year~"
One slogan after another, Ye Zhiqiu, who only looked at the smile in the end, only raised his hand one last time, and said softly: "Our Wanda Cinema is expected to invest in the construction of the screen this year to reach 200% of the current level." ”
All of a sudden, the whole length was shocked, Wanda Cinema Line was so big, it was really engaged in real estate, and it was rich and rich.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled at Gu Xiaofan, Wanda and Shangying have reached a cooperative relationship, and the three films in the Chinese New Year file broke through 200 million at the same time, which also means that Gu Xiaofan said to Wang Jianlin that those predictions are not nonsense, and Wanda Group will certainly not let go of this opportunity for great development.
The statement of the theater party also made the atmosphere of the meeting hot, and then the schedule was formulated according to the convention.
Each plus theater applied one by one and divided the schedule, but the other companies are all small roles, and everyone's eyes are focused on the three companies of Shanghai Film, China Film, and Huayi Brothers.
This is the first time that 34 Hollywood films will be faced in a year, will domestic films fall into the previous rout, or can they maintain the current balance of power?
Han Sanpin, Wang Zhongjun, and Gu Xiaofan all stood still and waited directly on the schedule of the summer file.
The talk finally came to the highlight of the first half of the year, the summer vacation, Director Shen looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"The dates of this introduction are as follows, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" on June 13, "Kung Fu Panda" on June 20, "Superman Hancock" on June 29, "Iron Man" on July 9, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" on July 15......"
As the names were pronounced, the desperate looks on the faces of the directors of other film companies became more and more intense, and in the past, there were only 2 or 3 Hollywood blockbusters in the summer every year, and they were overwhelmed by the fact that there were as many as 5 in one month this year......
Among them is also the latest installment in the Raiders of the Lost Ark series, the masterpiece of Hollywood's greatest director in history...... In the face of this opponent, who is probably more powerful than this year's "Transformers", who still has the courage to go to the summer file?
The directors of the People's Film Company are all silent, no one wants to die, this year's summer file is definitely a box office meat grinder, and whoever enters the domestic film will be crushed into powder by these five giant beasts......
Seeing that no one spoke up, Director Shen couldn't help but be embarrassed and said:
"This year is the Olympic year, it is a good time for our country to promote the national prestige and national appearance, and we can't lag behind in the film industry, June and July are the gaps before the Olympic Games, I hope you can do your best to cheer for our Beijing Olympic Games......"
At this time, someone finally spoke......
