Chapter 618: Who Will Be the Summer Winner
"Lao Shen, I'm busy with "Taste of China" and "The Voice of China" and "Twelve Treasures", thank you for your hard work."
After ending the call with Ding Value, Lin Yuquan immediately dialed Shen Yuan's phone.
"Without a boss, that's what I'm supposed to do." Shen Yuan said with a weak heart.
"What should be done is what should be done, hard work is hard work, I am very much looking forward to your results." Lin Yuquan didn't know Shen Yuan's thoughts, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was extremely satisfied with Shen Yuan's work in the past year or so.
Among them, "Taste of China" began production at the end of October last year, and now it has lasted 8 months, and the filming of the first 6 episodes has been completed, and a total of 8 episodes are expected to be completed in September, followed by CCTV broadcast in October.
The blind audition of "The Voice of China" has now begun to enter the final stage, and the post-production is in full swing, followed by the official premiere on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV on July 10.
Like "The Voice of China", he also did not watch the completed part of "Taste of China" in advance, but chose to be fully responsible for the production team, so that there would be surprises.
Of course, the most important reason is that he doesn't have time, otherwise not to mention "The Voice of China" and "Taste of China", whether the TV series produced by Shuguang Film should also be watched, but there is really no time, just leisure time to pass the time, not to make decisions or something.
"I'm sure you won't be disappointed boss." Shen Yuan became more and more empty-hearted.
"So confident. Well, I'll see. Lin Yuquan had a smile on his face: "Lao Shen, about the production and filming of "Twelve Sharp Flavors". Have you already arranged it? ”
"It's arranged, because I know that your boss is very short of time, according to the plan I submitted to you before, we will use two groups of people, when one group of people shoots, the other group immediately goes to another place to prepare for shooting, and strives to complete all the shooting in 36 working days. During this period, you will take a short break according to the boss's schedule. In addition, we have also communicated with the celebrity guests invited by the boss to facilitate the time to participate in the shooting, and the time has been preliminarily arranged. If there is a sudden change during the period, make adjustments. Shen Yuan said.
"Very good, then Lao Shen, you immediately arrange the arrangement, and we will shoot the first episode of the program on July 5th." Lin Yuquan said with satisfaction.
"Okay. Boss. Shen Yuan said with a smile.
"Yifei. It seems that we will have to return to Chengdu tomorrow after this short vacation, and I have already scheduled the filming of "Twelve Treasures" on July 5th. After ending the call with Shen Yuan, as soon as he saw Liu Yifei, Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Okay, I've long wanted to go to the Kecai company to have a look, and I also need to prepare a shooting outfit." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly
When the time came to July 1, "Ice Age 3" and "Public Enemy" were released around the world, teaming up to hit the new box office hegemon "Transformers 2". At the same time, Lin Yuquan and Liu Yifei also returned to Rongcheng. At the same time, Wang Luodan and Jiang Yan also came to Rongcheng, yes, the three daughters including Yi Fei are the star friends of his first episode of the show, and the theme of the food is Sichuan cuisine.
"Hey, isn't this Dandan? How did you come so early? We started filming on July 5th, and it's not too late for you to arrive on July 4th. When meeting Wang Luodan, Lin Yuquan quipped.
"Do you think I'm in a hurry to shoot the show? I mainly want to go to Kecai to have a look, if Kecai is not well run, it means that I will have to work for nothing for a while. Wang Luodan didn't have a good air, but there was a thick smile in his eyes.
"In this way, it is equivalent to saying that once Kecai goes bankrupt one day, I will become a sinner, and I knew that I would not have asked you to invest in the first place." The corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth turned up.
"If you go public one day, and you don't ask me to invest, then you are a real sinner." Wang Luodan smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Then I can rest assured, at least I don't have to be a sinner." Lin Yuquan chuckled.
The three daughters naturally lived in the Lin family, and the next morning, a group of four people went straight to the Kecai company, and after some visits, they sat in the conference room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have worked hard for you in the past period, and it is precisely because of your efforts that Kecai Company can quickly calm down the turmoil caused by the acquisition, and after seeing everyone's energetic spirit, it also makes me more confident in the future of Kecai Company." Lin Yuquan, who was sitting in the middle of the first position, said with a smile on his face.
"This is not our credit, we just did our own thing, the real reason is that the company knows that after being acquired by the boss, the company can achieve greater development, and the natural spirit is completely different." Zhai Jianming, who served as the general manager, smiled.
"Being able to do their part well is the greatest credit, and such a company will definitely win long-term development." Lin Yuquan smiled: "Mr. Zhai, in the process of visiting the company just now, you have introduced the development of this period of time, in general, the work plan I talked about before has been implemented or is being promoted, which is very good, now it seems that it is time to start the next stage of the plan, one is to cooperate with Yifei, according to her ideas to develop new types of cosmetics, and strive to create a strong new brand in addition to the mask, and the second is that I need to set up a dedicated R & D team, Analyzing the old beauty formula that I have been circulating for a long time, in order to achieve these two goals, I don't have to be stingy with capital investment, and if there is a gap in funds, I will inject it as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, with your strong support boss, we will go all out to overcome all problems and ensure that the goal is achieved."
When the time comes to July, there are only 5 months left before the global release of "The Immortals" in early December, and the review and distribution work have to be put aside, in fact, there are only 4 months left for the post-production of "The Immortals".
As a Chinese martial arts masterpiece that strives to show elements of Chinese characteristics around the world, the post-production of "The Immortals" is undoubtedly a huge workload, so it is necessary to make the most of the time.
Put it in the past. Of course, Lin Yuquan immediately devoted himself to editing after a short break, and spent every day in the editing room, but the production and filming of "Twelve Sharp Flavors" obviously did not allow that. He can only edit films by communicating closely with the editors, and taking into account the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Iverson edited the two versions, and followed up on special effects, soundtracks, color grading, etc.
Coupled with the filming of "Twelve Treasures", the preparation of "Wild Story: Battle for the Hegemony of a Hundred Tribes", and all aspects of the affairs that need to be dealt with by him, for a while, the whole person was very busy.
And when Lin Yuquan was busy. The box office war in the summer has never stopped, as a super blockbuster with a box office of $700 million and a production cost of $200 million. Everyone knows the extraordinary box office power of "Transformers 2", but it is really difficult to resist the temptation of the Independence Day schedule, "Ice Age 3" and "Public Enemy" both know that there are tigers in the mountains, and the choice of favoring Tiger Mountain Line collided head-on with "Transformers 2" this week.
Originally, "Ice Age 3" was chosen to be released in North America on Friday, July 3. But maybe it's because I want to play in Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince grabbed as much of the box office as possible before its release. 20th Century Fox chose to advance the release of "Ice Age 3" to July 1, which undoubtedly caught Universal Pictures off guard, so there was also a fierce competition between "Ice Age 3", "Public Enemy" and "Transformers 2" on July 1.
For this week's box office war, both box office agencies and industry insiders believe that it will be a battle between "Ice Age 3" and "Transformers 2", and it is indeed the case, the first day of "Ice Age 3" swept $14 million in 3998 theaters in one fell swoop, beating the $10 million of "Transformers 2", successfully cooling down the hot situation of "Transformers 2". However, given that "Ice Age 3" was released on the first day, the box office competition between the two is not as one-sided as the box office indicates. As for "The Enemy of the Public", the $8 million first-day box office is basically no longer able to compete for the box office title.
In the next four days, "Ice Age 3" and "Transformers 2" were really inseparable, first "Ice Age 3" slightly behind "Transformers 2" on Thursday and Friday, and then surpassed "Transformers 2" on Saturday and Sunday, and finally the two tied for the top spot with a box office score of $42.7 million before the box office data was corrected.
Such a once-in-a-century situation naturally made Tuesday's revised box office the focus of attention, and finally "Transformers 2" surpassed "Ice Age 3" by a narrow margin of about $630,000 to reach the top.
However, for Summit Entertainment and Dawning Films, it doesn't matter who tops the box office of "Transformers 2" and "Ice Age 3", the important thing is that together with the impact of the three films "Public Enemy" on "Immediate Rescue", it is obvious that whether it is the 61.35% next-week box office decline of "Transformers 2", or the performance of "Ice Age 3" far below the consensus expectation of $70 million at the weekend box office, or the $25.48 million box office that "Public Enemy" did not surprise or dislike, it seems unsatisfactory. But for "Immediate Rescue", this is naturally a good thing, four weeks later, the North American box office has accumulated to $311 million, the global box office has accumulated to $855.2 million, and what is even more exciting is that the word-of-mouth reviews of "Ice Age 3" and "Public Enemy" are also far less than expected, coupled with the lack of heavyweight new releases this week before "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", "Immediate Rescue" has every hope of breaking the $1 billion mark at the global box office.
In this regard, other film companies are naturally full of envy, jealousy and hatred, first "Spartan 300 Warriors", and then "Fast and Furious. Love 4", and then "Immediate Rescue", Summit Entertainment seems to have the posture of the biggest winner of this summer file, and perhaps only 20th Century Fox, Disney and Paramount have the possibility of overpowering Summit Entertainment.
Among them, 20th Century Fox has no box office hits, but several films in the summer so far, "Ice Age 3", "Wolverine", and "Wonderful Night at the Museum 2" have performed well at the global box office, and several medium-budget films will be released one after another.
Disney's "Flying House" and "Fake Marriage" were both huge successes, and the follow-up "Guinea Pig Agent," which cost $150 million and was produced by gold producer Jerry Bruheimer.
Paramount is the most likely of them, not only "Star Trek" and "Transformers 2" are box office hits, but also "Special Forces: Cobra Rise", which has a production cost of up to $170 million, will land on August 7.
Of course, it's only possible, who has which film company is considered to be able to overpower Summit Entertainment, you must know that Summit Entertainment will have "The Hangover" and "The Expendables" will be released one after another, "The Hangover" not to mention, the production cost is 90 million US dollars, and "The Expendables" starring a group of action veterans should not be underestimated.
Who will be the biggest winner of this summer file? Summit Entertainment, Paramount, Disney, or 20th Century Fox? For a time, this issue became the focus of countless people's attention.
And at this time, in the courtyard of Lin Yuquan's villa in Rongcheng, "cut, it's over." With the voice of director Zong Lei, "Twelve Treasures" successfully ended the filming of the first episode of the program. (To be continued.) )
