Night. "Shop" will land in theaters nationwide on January 31, that is, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the previous schedule is too powerful, it is difficult for a small film to break into it rashly to get the support of the theater, no matter how good the movie is, it is also blind, after all, the current audience is still more accustomed to what the theater shows, they believe that the theater must be a good movie, let alone domestic, even if North America is a large company's big production schedule, no matter how good the reputation of the movie released by a small company is, it is impossible to have a good film schedule all at once, Unless it causes greater social repercussions and topic effects.

So "Night. The wisest way to do it is to squeeze in after the New Year, taking advantage of the Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day two small periods to make money. The momentum of "Down" is bound to slow down, and "Crazy Racing" has also entered the second or third week, and even if it is crazy, it will not be too threatening in the morning.

There are many small films in this schedule, and the only one with a blockbuster is produced by Huayi Brothers and Media Asia Pictures, directed by Liu Weiqiang, starring Andy Lau, Shu Qi, Zhang Hanyu, etc. Shop" is only five days apart, He Mu doesn't dare to say that he is more appealing than Liu Tianwang, but love and comedy films have their own audiences, He Mu believes that "Night. "Shop" still has the strength to fight in the face of "Dragon and Phoenix", at least there will be no sense of powerlessness in the face of "Red Cliff".

And after this village, there will be no such shop, for a happy little finished comedy, if you miss the tail of the New Year, March, April, and May will not be a good schedule, and I don't know what super blockbusters will be in the summer file. Although a slightly worse schedule can also create a box office miracle, it has dragged on for too long to "Night. The shop is also not good, and now "Night. The shop has done a good job of publicity. Both He Mu fans and comedy lovers are full of curiosity about this mysterious movie, but it is very questionable how long this curiosity can last, after all, this is not Feng's comedy, nor Ning Hao's work, nor is it Zhou Xingchi's comedy masterpiece, before the director has formed his own brand and the actor has not yet had great appeal. The audience's interest in it can't last long, so it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and launch the market when the movie is at its hottest.

Now away from "Night. The Shop is less than a month away. The division within Tiger Wolf has also been basically completed.

Tiger Wolf's film department was established not long ago, and the members of the department are basically newcomers from various companies outside, and the integration with the company's old employees is not high, which means that they are a bit self-reliant. Especially after the total failure of the film version of "The Flight Attendant". The film department can't hold its head up in the entire Tiger Wolf company, and the leaders in charge of the film department headed by Chen Li even have a feeling of abandonment.

Although the high salary and generous benefits are very important factors, but more importantly, they fancy the prospects of the tiger wolf, hoping to create a new vigorous film giant from their own hands, which is what any ambitious film practitioner yearns for, but the failure of "Flight Attendant" shattered their arrogance and even self-doubt. Is it true that they are really a group of stragglers, who can't make it into the climate?

OK. At this time, He Mu supported them and invited them to complete a new work. In fact, some employees, including Chen Li and Xue Xiangchen, knew that Xiao Fang intended to abolish the film department, and it was He Mu's efforts that allowed this department to be preserved, so they cherished "Night. Shop" this opportunity, on "Night. The Shop" spends much more energy than "The Flight Attendant", and in their opinion, "Night. The Shop is their chance to walk on Tiger Wolf's back, and probably the only time.

At this time, Xiao Fang told them that Tiger Wolf decided to divide the film department and set up a new company, Shuimu Forest, and this new company completely belongs to He Mu, and Tiger Wolf has no affiliation, and the contracts of the original Tiger Wolf Film Department personnel have been transferred to Shuimu Forest, and if there are people who are unwilling to work here, they can submit their resignation to He Mu.

To be honest, when I first heard the news, there were indeed many people who were shaken, they originally jumped to the tiger wolf map because the tiger wolf developed rapidly, and the tiger wolf Xiao always had a deep background, but what is going on with this Shuimu forest that is independent of the tiger wolf, but it is just a small film company, and it has no strength or connections, which makes them feel that their future is worrying.

At this time, Chen Li and Xue Xiangchen stood up to He Mu and expressed their willingness to follow Mr. He, although the official contact with He Mu was only from "Night. Shop", but Chen Li is optimistic about He Mu's courage and ability, and he can see that although He Mu Xiaofang has parted ways, he looks like he is out of tune, maybe there are still shares of his Xiao Fang in the new company, so Chen Li is willing to gamble, even if He Mu loses the most, it is not difficult to find a good company with his more than ten years of experience in the industry, but what if he succeeds? As the so-called icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow!

Chen Li is still very authoritative in this group of people, and his decision has affected a large number of people, but it still can't stop some people who want to find another job, but for the newborn Shuimu Forest, the personnel are already very nervous. The release of "Shop" is a huge test, so He Mu very solemnly and sincerely asked them to stay when facing the more than 20 employees who were panicked.

"I know that this change in the company has caused great trouble to you, and I also know that there is nothing in the water and wood forest now, and there is no advantage to attract all talents to stay, it is normal for people to go to a high place, and I don't want to do anything to prevent people from making a fortune, but I want to say that the new company has just been established, there is still some money, even if it is lost, it will take a while, at least during this time, we don't need to worry about losing jobs, and we don't have to worry about wages not being paid on time. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to work in the Shuimu Forest for another month for the sake of my He Mu being handsome. There are still two weeks to go before the release of "Shop", and everyone has been fighting for this project for a month, so why not wait for the results to come out before deciding to stay. ”

He Mu's words shook many people, yes, isn't it just a month, why don't you wait for anything, He Mu said again, "I hereby promise that after a month, whether you leave or stay, no one will get a double monthly salary, and those who choose to leave will be considered a good gathering and scattering fee, and those who choose to stay will be everyone's bonus, I just ask everyone not to drop the chain in the next month, I don't want "Night. The release of The Shop" was affected. ”

"Is there anyone who wants to get out of here right now?" He Mu was the last to make sure, "No, okay, let's start busy with ourselves, Director Chen will stay for a while." ”

Although Shuimu Forest is now an independent company in a legal sense, the office is still in Tiger Wolf, Tiger Wolf has now rented all the 11th floor of the office building, and the office space is very generous, He Mu decided to rent a quarter of the place directly from Xiao Fang, before Shuimu Forest has not grown, this place is enough, and most importantly, it is very cheap.

"Mr. He, what are your orders?" Chen Li sat opposite He Mu.

"Director Chen, first of all, thank you, thank you, thank you for standing on my side at this time."

"Mr. He's serious, this is just a decision made by following my heart, maybe Shuimu Forest is a brand new company for others, full of risks, but for me it is where I have been working for more than half a year, but it is just a different name, I have been playing an important role here before, I am very familiar with it, and I am confident that this team can achieve the achievements of those big companies, after all, Mr. Xiao has spent a lot of energy to dig up our people, to be honest, Mr. He, you have picked up a ready-made bargain."

He Muha said with a smile, "Of course I know the way, but Brother Fang has no intention of the film industry, I have to take on this important responsibility, what am I worried about with you talents, how about it, do you have the confidence to manage these rebellious talents?" ”

Chen Li's joy was not obvious, he just nodded firmly, "Xie Lu Xie He Zong's trust, I will definitely live up to expectations." ”

In this way, He Mu served as the president of Shuimu Forest, Chen Li served as the general manager, He Mu did not really take charge of a company, and Chen Li did not have the experience of being alone, he was just experienced in the promotion and distribution of the film and had a wide range of contacts, everyone was in the process of learning and understanding each other.

He Mu and Chen Li talked about his positioning in Shuimu Forest, only making movies, not actors, because he feels that once a film and television production company still operates a brokerage company, then they are easily limited when selecting actors, and they generally give priority to the company's artists, rather than whether they are suitable as the first consideration, just like today's Huayi Brothers, because there are many artists under their umbrella, they prefer to use their own people, and therefore miss a lot of better choices.

"Not doing agent business means that we can expand the actor selection to all domestic artists, so that we can find the most suitable one." He Mu said to Chen Li.

"Even if Huayi's artists are suitable, will you use them?" Chen Li asked, he vaguely knew that a big reason why He Mu missed Chenglong's new film was that he was at odds with Huayi's Wang Zhonglei.

"Of course, I think that in many genre films, Baoqiang is an indispensable candidate, and I will definitely choose him if necessary, but it is difficult to say if Huayi is willing to let go." He Mu thinks that he still has this open-mindedness, but he is afraid that Wang Zhonglei will be careful.

"Fourth, it's almost okay, what else do you want?" Huayi headquarters, Wang Zhongjun said to Wang Zhonglei.

"Second brother, what do I want, I don't want him to have a good time, his "Night. Isn't "Shop" on the sixth day of junior high school, I also moved "Dragon and Phoenix" to the sixth year of junior high school, isn't he hard, I see how hard he is! Wang Zhonglei said viciously, he has always remembered that incident.
