Chapter 217: Finalizing the release time

This is also a helpless move in the promotion of the movie, compared with Ye Rong, Li Qingya and other leading actors, Chen Feng's popularity is higher. **!Book. Let's * Fans who have been paying attention to this film, the object of attention is naturally more Chen Feng. After Chen Feng is the mainland diva Mu Wanqiu, as one of the most popular female artists in China, Mu Wanqiu's first movie shooting is naturally a publicity gimmick.

""Zhu Xian" has finally been completed, and the nine-month filming is like a marathon that goes on, even if the body has long been exhausted, I have to move forward step by step." On May 24, 2015, Chen Feng updated Weibo.

Many media reporters have reported on various film stations, newspapers, and magazines at the same time.

"With such a high investment and so long of filming, "Zhu Xian" has finally been completed, and no one should have thought that a film would be filmed for so long and so long before this."

"I believe it must be a very excellent film, if nothing else, just rely on them to shoot it for nine months."

The fan expectations of "Zhu Xian" are now at a high point, and the news of its completion has made many fans and Chen Feng's female fans excited, and they can't wait to watch this Xianxia movie.

But now the question is, when will "Zhu Xian" be released? Its release schedule has not yet been decided.

The conference room of Huayu Film Company was holding a meeting at this time, and Li Haitao, the manager of the distribution department, the manager of the production department and other managers of various departments were there; Chen Feng sat in the middle of the top of the conference table, looking at the documents in his hand, the financial statements of the end of the filming stage of "Zhu Xian" so far.

A very detailed list of all expenses, including the salaries of the actors, the salaries of the crew, the rental of photographic equipment, the cost of buying film, the cost of renting the venue, the cost of the hotel...... Wait, Chen Feng glanced at them one after another, Ah Feng 15o thousand, Mu Wanqiu 5 million...... Although all this was his money, Chen Feng was still bored, looked at it hastily, and saw the back, and now the total cost is about to reach 900 million. **!Book. It is expected that after the later work is completed, the final cost will be more than 1.1 billion. Exceeding the previous 1 billion plan.

The estimated cost of 1.1 billion seriously exceeded the earliest budget, except that there was too much film burned and the shooting cycle was an extra month and a half; The main reason is the production of special effects. Although Hurricane belongs to Huayu's subordinate company and saves a lot of money for this movie, even this cost more than 700 million, which means that special effects production accounts for 60% of the cost of "Zhu Xian".

After looking at it again, there was no problem, so Chen Feng closed the financial statement, put it on the conference table, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's discuss the next item!" ”

The next item of the meeting is to determine the release schedule of "Zhu Xian". Only when a film has determined its release schedule can its publicity work be carried out and cooperated; There is also the process of post-production of the film, etc., and everything can be carried out in an orderly manner only when the schedule is decided. Of course, independent films are not among them, they have finished their post-editing, and then look for rows.

'How's our projection system going?' Chen Feng asked and looked at the manager of the distribution department.

The manager of the distribution department looked at the secretary in charge of the meeting, motioned for her to give the documents to Chen Feng, and said: "We have established relationships with the major cinema chain companies in China, and if we want to release a movie, we can capture most of the cinemas in China, and many of the remaining cinemas are self-operated, and it is difficult to contact them one by one." ”

Taking the document handed by the secretary, Chen Feng took a look, there were thousands of movie theaters in Huaguo, all over Huaguo, and he couldn't help but nod and smile: "Very good! Enough, enough with these cinemas. ”

The distribution manager added: "However, there are relatively few contacts in foreign cinemas. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mainly because we lack distribution channels abroad. ”…,

Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively, "This is no problem, we can cooperate with Oriental Films through foreign distribution channels." "Last year, Chen Feng did Dongfang Yanran a big favor, and in return, Chen Feng obtained the overseas film distribution channel of Dongfang Film, which can now be used.

At this time, Li Haitao said, "Mr. Chen." We have already discussed and decided to release it on July 7th. "He picked up a form on the conference table and said, 'Here's what new movie will be released on May 7th.'"

While looking at the form, he introduced: "Early July belongs to the summer vacation, although there are many movies released, but they are all low-budget movies. ”

"Oh? Why? Chen Feng asked suspiciously, it stands to reason that those film companies will not let go of this long holiday.

"The main thing is that Fahrenheit Movies will release a big production "Star 3" that cost more than 500 million on July 1. It can be described as ambitious, and other companies have changed the release time of some of their movies in order to avoid colliding with "Star 3", and our "Zhu Xian" has also changed from the original July 1st to July 7th. ”

"Really?" Chen Feng leaned on the back of the rotating chair and said lightly, "Then we will reschedule the release time on July 1." ”

"But, Mr. Chen" Li Haitao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Feng, "Okay, I know what you're worried about, don't you have confidence in "Zhu Xian"?" Competition is competition, I believe that "Zhu Xian" will not lose to "Star 3". ”

After the release time is finalized. Chen Feng dressed up relatively neatly to participate in the press conference of "Zhu Xian", and the reporters also focused on this press conference.

There were a lot of people coming to the scene today, even to the point of crowding.

After the reporters found Chen Feng, the microphones were aimed at him: "Chen Feng, the movie "Zhu Xian" was filmed for more than 9 months, why did it take so long? ”

Chen Feng smiled: "When I was filming this movie, I felt that I had made a lot of progress and improved a lot in many aspects. I don't want "Zhu Xian" to have any mistakes that should have been within our control, so. Every shot, maybe the other movies twice, three times...... I'm not satisfied, we had the most reshots 39 times for a shot that we had to reshoot 39 times, and an average of 69 times for a shot. This number of remakes has seriously postponed the completion date of "Zhu Xian". My original plan was to spend seven and a half months making this film, but the longer it was made, the more time went by, so I made it now. ”

Hearing this filming method of "Zhu Xian", almost everyone gasped...... Everyone never thought that Chen Feng and they would shoot a movie to this extent.

The next reporter asked: "Chen Feng, do you think that in the past nine months of shooting, you have already made a work you want?" ”

Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, actually, when I finished filming the last shot, I looked at all the hard work we had at hand, and I felt a little unreal in my heart, I didn't expect to be able to shoot to this extent......" He said that there was some suspicion that Wang Po was selling melons, but the movies he shot before were already classics, and this "Zhu Xian" was much better than the previous shooting, and everyone's expectations were more and more.

"So, when will "Zhu Xian" be released?" This is the topic that everyone is most concerned about, whatever you say, only after watching it can you evaluate whether it is good or not, "Zhu Xian" claims to have invested more than one billion, so what is the result of so much money, this is what everyone is most concerned about.

"Well, the release time of "Zhu Xian" has been determined on July 1st." (To be continued......)
