Chapter 39: The Storm Rises Again
During lunch at lunchtime, Tang Yan casually rummaged through her mobile phone and said with interest: "Seeing that it's eleven, Ah Xun and his brother's movies are going to be released on this schedule, and the two of you actually crashed." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Shui Yuexun sat next to Zhou Yi and smiled: "Brother Zhou Yi's movie is good, but the box office is definitely not as high as mine." ”
The classmates laughed: this needs to be said.
The amount of investment is not an order of magnitude.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but rub Shui Yuexun's little head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as the box office is passable, anyway, I don't expect this film to compete for the top spot in the weekend box office list, as long as it is not worse than "Five Poisons", the goal is 400 million yuan total box office." Ah Xun's film is a billion. ”
Tang Yan said with a smile: "I remember when I was filming "Five Poisons", my brother thought that the box office would be very good if it exceeded 100 million, and he could make a lot of money. Now the goal has increased a lot, and the box office is 400 million, which is too greedy. ”
Zhou Yi laughed, and felt that he was a little greedy, but if the box office is low, I'm sorry for my face!
The students talked and laughed and had a lot of fun.
In fact, the students are very curious about Zhou Yi and Shui Yuexun's films, but it's a pity that they are too busy with their studies and can't find time to watch them.
It would be nice to have a screening at the school.
It's a pity that this kind of thing is not counted by the freshman student.
I heard Senior Wang Maitreya say that the juniors of their directing department may strive for it, and by the way, they will hold a seminar.
Just wait for news from them.
Recently, although Zhou Yi returned to school after participating in military training and had no chance to engage in publicity, in fact, the outside world's publicity of the film has not stopped, and the company's propaganda department naturally has various means.
Now everything is ready, waiting for the opening of the movie.
As for the work such as copy delivery, it is natural that it has been done a long time ago, and it is foolproof.
Tang Yan just used her mobile phone to watch the director's cut trailer of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" recently released by Zhengdong Pictures. The director's cut came out on time again, this is the last version of the trailer before the release, and it is also the third version of the trailer, which is the most beautifully done.
This version of the trailer has added a few more great shots.
The response from online fans has been overwhelming, and many action movie fans are waiting for a sneak peek, and with their support, at least the box office in the first week does not have to worry. Today's Zhengdong is not unfamous at the beginning, and the new film needs to be screened at that time.
There are also many college students who leave messages on Weibo to express their support.
Wu Xuehua and Wang Xiaoshuai actually left a message, saying that they would take their classmates to watch it together.
It seems that they are not busy with their studies, so leisurely, it is even easier than Yanying to go to school.
Zhou Yi was very happy, he also watched the new version of the trailer just now, and he was really satisfied.
The students were full of praise.
Don't think that Yan Ying's group of students are really above the top and will look down on small-budget commercial films. The reason why those directors and actors who have just left school make literary films is not because they love literary films so much, but because they have no money to make commercial films, of course, they can only make small-budget literary films, and literary films do not seek a return on investment, no investor is stupid enough to make literary films to make money, and it is impossible to make money to that extent. In particular, the state also has a protection policy for literary and artistic films, no matter how bad the box office is, there are always screening channels. It may not be possible to make a commercial film! With so many benefits, newcomers who have just left school can only make literary films, and they can't afford to make commercial films, and they can't afford to hurt themselves. If you don't get it right, you may not be able to get up.
The students are still very envious of Zhou Yi for making movies continuously!
What's wrong with the small cost! Small-budget movies are also movies.
Blockbusters are so easy to shoot.
In fact, this was also the case in previous lives.
Don't care how disdainful the students of film and television colleges are to talk about Feng Xiaogang and Stephen Chow, but if they have the opportunity and ability to film, they will definitely shoot too, who doesn't make money if they have money? When who's the fool? If you don't shoot, first, you don't have money, and second, you can't shoot.
Who can still eat art for dinner?
This choice is like asking a female star, whether you want to dedicate yourself to art and film, or whether you want to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife. It's all going to be taken off anyway, you see how she chooses. Is there still a choice?
Recently, in addition to the three versions of the trailer of "Rushing to the Sky", the ultimate trailer of "Breaking Bad" has also been released, and the effect of the blockbuster is indeed very shocking, which is completely different from the low-cost style of "Rushing to the Sky", and it is also very popular.
Shuiyue sells Meng Ji to sail again, and Scarlet Moon draws her sword Ji to fight the rivers and lakes again.
Both films will promote Zhou Yi, which is a highlight, and can take advantage of each other's hype.
Don't look at the two films released at the same time, in fact, it is not a competitive relationship, because Zhou Yi participates, and the publicity can indeed take advantage of the situation, which can raise some box office, and the market capacity is completely tolerant, not with you or without me, of course it doesn't matter.
There is no need to care about who takes advantage of more.
Maybe fans will watch two movies in a row, quite possibly.
Of course, if you want to compete for the top spot on the weekend box office list, "Rushing Tower" will definitely not choose this schedule, but in other schedules, it is difficult for small-budget films to compete for the top spot in the weekend box office list, so it is better to be in this schedule.
What's more, even if there is no "Thunderbolt Baby" in this schedule, the champion may not be "Rushing to the Sky".
Before the film is released, who can know the specific situation? A lot of things can't be predicted in advance.
The goal of Zhengdong Pictures is still the top three, and the position of Tanhua can be done.
Taj also suggested this, after all, there is a National Day holiday, maybe it can rush to the box office, so simply choose this schedule. Yousheng's "Thunderbolt Baby" must think the same way, welcome the National Day and watch blockbusters!
Taj Manager Lin and Zhengdong's Manager Zheng said that in this period, in fact, Zhengdong is very advantageous, not a loss. Why? Because of the blockbuster of Shui Yuexun in the front, in view of her super popularity, many companies' films did not dare to compete with her and retreated, which gave "Chongxiao Tower" a chance to see the stitches, otherwise a low-cost film like "Chongxiao Tower" may not be able to grab this National Day schedule.
Do you think any film can be released casually during the National Day schedule?
Even if this schedule is not as good as the summer file, but you don't have the strength, you will still be crushed into slag!
Another time, another situation, the result may be completely different.
This time, it can be regarded as Yousheng's "Thunderbolt Baby" to escort Zhengdong's "Rushing to the Sky Tower".
The former is a pioneer, which can not only increase the overall box office market, but also scare off many princes, while the latter is to sit back and enjoy it, follow the blockbuster to sweep the goods, and make enough money at the box office. You can also understand that small-budget films are not afraid of being popular and strong blockbusters, and they are real heroes who face difficulties. It's up to you what you think. However, this situation cannot be easily replicated, and those who want to learn should be careful.
If you don't have the strength, and the other party is not an ally, you can't jointly hype up and publicize, and you will be suppressed by the backhand, maliciously attacked, and then the number of screens will be compressed, and all kinds of means will attack continuously, and the small film will basically die.
This situation should be treated differently and cannot be applied.
With Shui Yue Xun as the link between the two sides, this kind of vicious attack will not happen, and naturally there is no problem.
Zhengdong Pictures is considered to be unlucky, since its opening, two new films in a row have encountered the most suitable schedule situation, the front is the sandpiper and the clam are fighting, the fisherman is profitable, this time it is the blockbuster escort of the ally, and it has reached the National Day schedule. And both films have Zhou Yi's participation, which is convenient for cooperation and publicity, which is the best result, otherwise the situation may not be so smooth!
Zhou Yi did succeed this time, and both films can promote him.
In this way, this schedule, except for Shui Yuexun, is estimated to be his most popular, and he can continue the strength of the previous film.
If two consecutive films are successful, Zhou Yi's position in the industry will be solid.
The future action superstar, the name of the industry's rising star, is completely solid.
Everyone understands this truth, and the Zhengdong side is naturally very satisfied.
Because of these publicity, and Zhou Yi himself can always make a name for himself, although he has been studying in school, his reputation has never fallen. Especially when two films have been released recently, the fame is naturally greater, not to mention that it is in full swing, at least the momentum of the upper position is strong.
Although "Breaking Bad" is a cameo at the end of the film, just show your face, and the two-minute scene is very exciting.
For action actors, two minutes is enough to get fans excited.
There are really a lot of fans who want to watch it in these two minutes!
After lunch, everyone didn't have much time to rest at noon, so they had to rush back to the rehearsal room as soon as possible to train. The National Day Gala will be held tomorrow night, and then the 11th National Day holiday, of course, these days are very busy, everyone will stay up and pass.
If you think the rehearsal room is noisy, you can find a random place on campus to rehearse, and that's okay. There are a lot of such places on campus. Like Wen Wen and Gong Chengxu, they are all looking for a quiet place on campus to rehearse opera and instrumental music.
In fact, they wanted to hide out so as not to be harassed by their classmates, which was really annoying.
Fortunately, they still retained their status and did not become "instrumental accompaniment" and "opera chorus", which is worth thanking.
The students who rehearse the skit also practice in groups, first practice their own work, then let the teachers check it, and finally decide who to choose.
Zhou Yi's three roommates have to continue to work hard.
When rehearsing the song and dance at noon, everyone was very serious, and it was usually Zhou Yi who took the initiative to cooperate with the two girls.
In terms of details, Zhou Yi can remember it by relying on his strong memory, and he can naturally cooperate well. He let the two girls play to their heart's content, and he did a good job of cooperating, mainly to set off the two girls.
He doesn't need to highlight himself too much, sing his own songs well, and do a good job as a foil, it's fine.
Tang Yan and Di Lieba both rehearsed very happily and felt that the show was very successful and there was no problem.
At noon, the company also gave Zhou Yi a recent work plan.
Don't think that you don't have to work when you go to school.
You are the boss and you have to work hard in school.
There is always a squeeze in time, and you can see the stitches. For example, during the National Day holiday, Zhou Yi also had to go to the TV drama crew to carry out post-dubbing work, and strive to use the holiday time to complete all the dubbing work.
Then, it is the work of post-release and broadcasting, and naturally professionals from the two companies will do it.
Now the editing of the "Flower Season" TV series has been completed, and the post-production is almost completed.
With the help of the people from the east side, the speed is naturally faster.
After the behind-the-scenes staff is busy with the movie, of course, they have to help with the TV series, and they can't get a white-collar salary. The two companies live, of course, to cooperate.
During the eleventh period, the work of the company requires Zhou Yi to participate in person, in addition to participating in the movie premiere, it is the dubbing. Of course, during the holidays, don't look at the holidays, but the daily morning work must be correct, otherwise the teacher will be angry. I've been advised on this. In the past, during the National Day, there was a situation where only a few people in a class did morning exercises, but the teacher gave the whole class a hard beating, and the students did not want to be scolded.
In addition to doing morning exercises, it is to do dubbing, that's it.
Then, it's about observing life and writing movie scripts.
Zhou Yi plans to get the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" out during the National Day holiday.
This film is not important to Zhou Yi, but it is very important to Tang Yan, that is, it is suitable for supporting his sister and bouquet flowers, and he must invite a first-line director in the industry from Yanying to shoot it, and also ask Teacher Li Mubai and Teacher Yu Xiulian to guide the whole process, so that Zhou Yi can rest assured that he must strive to shoot the effect of his previous life. If Tang Yan can shoot the kind of performance effect of Zhang Ziyi in her previous life, Zhou Yi will be very happy.
It doesn't matter how black the family was in the previous life, but that film was really well acted.
In terms of the script, Zhou Yi plans to do it himself, and he can't fake it, otherwise he won't be at ease. The script of the previous life is very good, it is a classic award-winning film of a great director, he can copy it, no need to mess around, it is very simple, as long as you pay attention to the details and try to restore it as much as possible.
As for the "Tai Chi Grandmaster" TV series and the follow-up "Tai Chi" trilogy, he plans to get a copywriting outline and then throw it to the company's screenwriting team. With the strength of the company's screenwriter trio, it can do a good job.
They've recently finished working on the Ace project, and they're in a good position to do just that.
At present, they are still working hard to help Zhou Yi revise the first version of the script of "One-armed Knife".
This is how Zhou Yi's work has been done recently.
In addition, the company's "Ace" project has begun formal preparations, and Director Zhao is still in charge.
Director Zhao fought again and again, made persistent efforts, and finally won the position of director by virtue of his own strength.
According to the news from Zhuo Qinglian, the production department is very satisfied with some of the storyboard scripts submitted by Director Zhao recently, especially Manager Yan, who reviewed them very carefully and strictly, and felt that Director Zhao had really worked hard this time and it was worth trying. If Director Zhao can really live up to expectations and make this mid-range strong film well, at least the company will have no shortage of directors in this area in the future.
You don't have to worry about these things, just know the result.
The company's executives are all experienced industry elites, and they must have a vision, and it is not so easy to make mistakes.
Maybe you ask him to plan a film and television drama project, but he can't find a suitable one for a while, and he may not be able to plan it due to lack of ability. But if the project comes out, you ask him to review it and look at the prospects, and he will definitely be fine.
If you don't even have this ability, how can you become a production director?
Yan Shuo and the manager are also among the best, and there is no problem with the audit.
If you start preparing now, it is estimated that the film will start filming soon, and the preliminary preparations on the company's side are actually not so troublesome, mainly because the military command and the CIA have to cooperate with the shooting, and it will not be a big problem to get these done.
As for the actors, if they can use the company's contracted artists, of course, they all use the company.
This time, there are three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, all the actors will go into battle, if they can make up a role, they will make up a role, no matter what role they are, they can get on it, at least they can save a lot of money. At present, the starring roles are all confirmed, the double protagonists Gao Song and Zheng Zilong, the villain Tang Wang, supplemented by Xie Wendong, Xia Ping, Cheng Dakui, Lin Yan, Guo Fucheng, Guo Aiming, and possibly Zhou Yi and Tang Yan brothers and sisters.
Tang Wang finally got an important role this time, and with his acting skills, it is no problem to play such a sinister role.
Zhou Yi can use the time on Saturday and Sunday to shoot some small roles.
This time it's really a cameo, there is no suitable role for him to play, and he has to go to school, so he doesn't have time to play the leading role, just make a cameo and show his face. This drama is very important to the company, and it is good to show your face.
Maybe Tang Yan can also play a cameo role.
When the time comes, look at the role distribution, you will know, Director Zhao is doing work now.
In addition, the company has another important thing worth paying attention to, that is, the second season of the "The Voice of China" program is ending, and the last two episodes will be officially recorded during the National Day, including the peak night of the final battle.
Zhou Yi is usually very busy and is not interested in the process of the song competition, but he will pay attention to Zheng Longshi's final results. Of course, it's good to win the championship, but it doesn't matter if you don't. He has written so many original songs, coupled with Zheng Longshi's talented voice, at least his grades will not be bad. Whether or not he can overpower Daqin's An Dehai depends on the will of heaven. Zhou Yi was very peaceful, smiling at the ups and downs, waiting for the final result.
