Early the next morning, the two siblings got up early, went out to exercise as usual, and then had breakfast in the hotel, Zhou Yi called Zhuo Qinglian to ask about the company's work arrangements today.

Zhuo Qinglian had already prepared and told Zhou Yi that the post-production of the film was very smooth, there was no trouble, Director Zhao and they were still in a hurry. On Chu Qingyi's side, the studio is almost arranged, but it will have to wait a little longer, and it is estimated that it will be able to shoot in the afternoon.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the company's management held a meeting at the headquarters, and Zhou Yi naturally wanted to attend.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Yi retreated from the guest room, took his sister, and rushed to the company's headquarters Octavia Building.

Tang Yan asked a little embarrassed: "Your company's management has a meeting, is it appropriate for me to go?" ”

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "You are my sister, why is it not suitable?" I'm the chairman, and I don't have that power yet? ”

"You have the right to seek personal gain! I'm afraid the impact will not be good! ”

"What's the bad effect? Don't think about it. ”

"Hee-hee!"

In fact, Tang Yan didn't particularly care, just said so. She'd love to see it!

But what Zhou Yi thought in his heart was: Are you still afraid of bad influence? Is it good that you stay in a hotel with me?

It's just that you can't say this to your sister.

The taxi ran all the way and soon came to the Mingrui Building in Chaoyang District.

Zhou Yi took his sister and entered Block A with a familiar car, and took the elevator to the 20th floor.

"This is our corporate headquarters, what do you think?"

"It's not bad, the environment is very good!" Tang Yan said with a smile.

Zhuo Qinglian was waiting for Zhou Yi, who also came early.

Everyone met and said hello, Zhuo Qinglian took Zhou Yi to the conference room.

It's still early, Zhou Yi came early, and there is no one in the conference room for the time being.

It's the same big conference room as the last time we first met.

Zhuo Qinglian helped Tang Yan add a chair next to Zhou Yi and didn't mind it.

She is well aware of the complex relationship between siblings.

After a short time, almost all of the company's main executives arrived. Everyone said hello and prepared for the meeting. Basically, the management arrived early and took today's meeting very seriously. But not all management arrived.

The meeting was not fully staffed.

Like Yan Shuohe, deputy manager and head of the department, Liao Yihua, director of the technical department, and others were not present.

They will definitely stay in the studio, cooperate with Director Zhao and others, and continue to rush to work. Later period.

They are not primarily responsible for things on this side.

If necessary, they will cooperate.

The later business is mainly led by Zheng Cunhou, the general manager and head of the artist department, and the company management in charge of publicity, marketing, finance, logistics and other departments are all here, and these are their jobs.

Once the film is finished, they have to get busy.

For Tang Yan staying by Zhou Yi's side, everyone turned a blind eye, didn't say anything, and didn't say much. This kind of thing is very common, what can be said? Think of her as a vase female secretary. It's just a little younger.

Soon everyone who should come arrived, and the high-level meeting officially began, presided over by General Manager Zheng Cunhou.

He first gave a brief introduction to the company's current situation, mainly the progress of the post-production of the film.

Zhou Yi has already learned from Zhuo Qinglian, it is roughly the same, and the current work is very smooth.

Next, the company naturally has to consider the issue of release schedule and theater arrangement.

These are the company's top priorities right now.

Several department heads took the floor in turn to introduce the work of their respective departments.

Zhou Yi just listened carefully and didn't interject.

Overall, the company's work is quite smooth.

According to Jiang Zan, head of the marketing department. The managers of several small and medium-sized theaters that are talking are very interested in this film, and promise to send a viewing manager to attend the viewing party at that time. We've all had good relationships before, and there's not much of a problem in this area.

The film managers of several large cinema chains are usually busy with work and have too many films to watch. Naturally, they are not very interested in this kind of small-budget film, but they are very professional and promise to send someone to attend the film viewing meeting when the time comes, and they will definitely not refuse this kind of thing lightly.

After all, in the case of a small-cost film, as a professional, I will not be negligent.

The situation in this regard is quite satisfactory.

The marketing department has done its best. Detailed discussions are ongoing.

Dong Yiwu, the new director of the propaganda department, also made a work report to everyone.

He was poached by Zhuo Qinglian to find a headhunting company with a high salary, although he is a newcomer to the company, he is very capable. The original propaganda director has long been laid off by Zhuo Qinglian, and the reason is obvious, those who fail in the internal struggle will naturally leave.

The former boss vomited blood and was hospitalized, how could he still keep him?

Zhuo Qinglian will naturally investigate clearly, and will not wronged a good person, and will not let go of a bad person!

No wonder the last time the company held a meeting, everyone met for the first time, Zhou Yi met the heads of various departments of the company, but did not see the director of publicity. That's not because the company doesn't have a publicity department, but because the director is out.

The old does not go, the new does not come.

Now the company's new head of communications is in place.

Dong Yiwu said that at present, the company's publicity work has been preliminarily launched, and there is no need to wait until the film has passed the review before doing publicity. There is not much problem with the film passing the review, after all, there is no principled problem with the film, but it may have to be fought for in terms of classification.

Previously, Zheng Cunhou, the general manager, mentioned that the company would carry out public relations in this regard and strive to meet the standard of protection level.

This film is a cult film, with torture and murder scenes, and it definitely can't be a mass film for all ages.

In this regard, everyone is mentally prepared before the filming of the film.

There is really no need to fight for the mass level, it is not a matter of money, and it should not be fought for out of professional ethics. This is understandable to Zhou Yi, even if he can win it, he will not do it, that would be irresponsible to the society.

Even if it is won, it will still trigger social criticism and media attacks, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And watching such a cult film, Zhou Yi did not dare to guarantee that it would not cause harm to children's bodies and minds.

Once that kind of tragic situation happens, Zhou Yi can't accept it, and he can't help it.

In case something happens to the audience during the viewing process, it will be even worse if it is exported by the news.

These conditions can not only cause harm to young audiences, but also adversely affect the distribution of films.

Personnel of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television who are responsible for reviewing films. will definitely not give this kind of film a public-level rating, and it is absolutely not responsible.

Therefore, Zhengdong Pictures will not fight for this at all, it is a pure waste of resources and meaningless.

But that doesn't mean that Zhengdong Pictures doesn't do anything. Again, no.

Even if it does not strive for the mass level, the film must not be rated as restricted.

That hurts the film even more.

Young children under the age of 6 don't contribute much to the box office, but audiences under the age of 18 are definitely different.

If there is a lack of fans under the age of 18 in the summer file, what kind of bad impact will it have on the film? Think about it all.

This is also absolutely unacceptable to the company, and it requires public relations personnel to vigorously publicize it. Try to avoid this worst-case scenario.

In this way, the film rating can only be fought between the protection level and the tutorial level. It is best to be rated as a protected level, and children under the age of 6 are not allowed to watch, and children over the age of 6 and under the age of 12 should be accompanied by their parents, teachers or adult relatives and friends.

It's the best company can get, but to be honest, it doesn't necessarily work. Everyone is not completely sure, so they can only do their best. Although the film editing has not yet been finalized, everyone knows what the situation is.

Torture and bloody battles, plus a dark plot. Can it really reach the protection level?

Unless the reviewers of the Film Censorship Committee of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television are collectively brain-dead.

But is that possible?

If the protection level is not good, the company can only settle for the next best thing, and strive for the twelfth level of tutoring, and children under the age of 12 are not allowed to watch.

In this case, the company can reluctantly accept it, less box office, less box office, it doesn't matter.

It is also worthwhile to have a better protective effect on children.

The company is still sure of such a rating and is confident that it can get it.

If not, there will be only level 15 tutoring: children under the age of 15 are not allowed to watch.

This rating is more severe. is second only to the restricted level, which is very detrimental to the box office of the film.

Companies must do their best to avoid such a bad situation.

At present, the shape shì is like this, and everyone knows it very well.

Zhou Yi agreed with everyone's opinion and asked the publicists to do their best. With the general manager Zheng Cunhou in charge of the overall planning, there should be no problem. The work of submitting the film for review is generally carried out by the assistant director of the production department, but the general manager will control the overall situation and provide public relations guidance throughout the process.

Of course, from now on, the promotion of the film must be warmed up. This is the job of the propaganda department. Dong Yiwu, the director of publicity, has already made plans in advance, and the film's early 30-second short trailer and some shooting highlights must be released step by step to attract the attention of fans.

On the other side of the studio, the assistant director was already in charge of cutting out some simple trailers.

The technical team will do some special effects and color grading work, which can be used for pre-promotion.

The camera assistant will take care of some of the beautiful stills and filming footage.

These jobs don't need to trouble Director Zhao and them, their editing work is more important, and they can't be distracted from chores.

The company used to be in contact with some second-tier media magazines, and now it can start preparing for the report.

After all, Aurora, the predecessor of Zhengdong Pictures, was a second-tier company, and it had made several blockbusters, even if it failed in the end, how could it not have some connections in the media industry? It's easy to get back into business and you don't have to work hard.

This is the benefit of acquiring a second-tier film company, many of the benefits are invisible, which can be regarded as invisible resources. All kinds of social relationships have a foundation laid in the past, unlike a new company, where you have to start from scratch with a lot of problems, which will be more troublesome.

Nowadays, as long as these tasks are done step by step, although it is a bit tedious, it is not difficult to do.

In addition, online publicity should also be effective.

Now is the Internet era, and any film company must pay attention to the online propaganda position.

At present, the network publicity work of Zhengdong is being warmed up in the early stage. Dong Yiwu has relationships with some professional water army teams, and it is easy to get it. Even he himself is a master of online propaganda planning, otherwise Zhuo Qinglian would not have poached him with a high salary.

These things, Zhou Yi, as the boss, only needs to grasp the general direction.

He doesn't need to do the specific matters himself, and his subordinates can handle them well.

Now some of the trailers and tidbits of the film's early promotion, as well as the exquisite stills of various characters, have been done. It is now available on the company's web portal and does not need to be copied separately. Everyone brings their laptops, goes directly to the company's website, and clicks on it to take a look.

Zhou Yi and Tang Yan also looked at those things, and on the whole, they were quite satisfied, and the production was good.

The trailer of the final version naturally doesn't, these are just preliminary warm-ups, which is very good.

The next few versions of the official trailer must be edited by Director Zhao himself, or he will make the decision, and then officially release it after the film has passed the review. As for the trailer in the early stage, the editing assistant and assistant director can do it, just show it to Director Zhao, and don't pay too much attention to it.

In the early 30-second short trailer, there are several shots of Zhou Yi, which are very outstanding, and Zhou Yi is naturally very satisfied.

There are also many scenes of Zhou Yi in the film tidbits, especially the fighting scenes.

According to the plan, the highlights highlight the whole process of the live-action shooting of Zhou Yi's long-shot and difficult action scenes of flying over the table and kicking in the air.

This can also be regarded as a kind of filming reveal, so that everyone can see the real kung fu of the leading actors.

Movie fans and friends, see clearly! This is definitely not a fist embroidered leg!

Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

Of course, his difficult action scenes are more than these, but it is impossible to release all the tidbits, so that fans can't lose their freshness when watching the movie. The shooting footage released so far is enough. Most of the wonderful shots, the director has reservations.

In this regard, Zhou Yi is also very approve.

There's really no need to put all the highlights in the shooting footage.

Just picking out these few shots is very attractive.

After watching these shooting tidbits, even Tang Yan was very surprised, and felt that her brother's action scenes were really good-looking, and they were extremely handsome.

When the behind-the-scenes personnel are making these trailers and tidbits, of course, they will consider the face of the boss, and Zhou Yi will naturally take advantage.

None of this needs to be said. (To be continued.) )
