Chapter 133: Chibi Finalization (Ask for Subscription)
At this time, the mobile phone in Lin Yuquan's trouser pocket suddenly vibrate, in fact, it had already vibrated once during filming before, but he forgot it just now, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, the two calls were from Ding Value, so he made a silent gesture towards Wang Luodan, and then quickly connected the phone.
"Hey, hello!"
"Boss, I was filming just now! That's the case, the review of "Red Cliff" has been passed, and now I urgently need the boss to decide the release schedule, so I will immediately start arranging a notice for publicity. Ding's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's already passed, it's not easy, the analysis report of the marketing department is to build yƬ set the schedule on what date?" Lin Yuquan said happily.
The post-production of "Red Cliff" was actually completed as early as mid-September, but there were twists and turns in the process of submitting it for review, and it was not cleared for a long time.
Judging from the schedule of the Chinese New Year, Chen Kaige's "Wuji" is scheduled to have its world premiere on December 15, and Zhang Yi's new film "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", which was originally scheduled to be released on December 16, has been postponed for a week and is scheduled to be released on December 22, and "Wuji" is staggered for a week, and will not form a rush trend, Liu Zhenwei's "The Great Sage of Love" is also on December 22, as for Chen Kexin's "If Love", it stands to reason that it should have been set a long time ago, but there has been no movement until now, and according to the analysis of the marketing department, We set it for December 1st to December 8th to avoid a head-on collision with "Wu Ji" and affect the box office. Ding Wei said slowly.
Lin Yuquan fell into deep thought, December 1 is equivalent to opening the Christmas stalls in advance, the peak of the box office has not yet arrived, and December 8 is only a week away from "Wu Ji", but for a blockbuster like "Wu Ji", its copies and digital theaters must be extremely amazing.
At present, the total number of computer ticketing theaters in China is only 1,078. Among them, only about 30% of multiplex theaters, the total number of screens sold by networked computers nationwide is only more than 2,000, and there are only a few hundred digital theaters. If it is released on December 8, the theater pomp of "Red Cliff", which will be released in the second week, will inevitably decline significantly. The box office losses are immeasurable.
"It's scheduled to be released on December 1st, this week "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has entered its third week of screening, and the theater will definitely arrange more screenings for us, even if "If Love" is released at the same time, it can't shake our position, we can conquer the city as much as possible without too strong competitors, so as to gain more box office." Lin Yuquan thought about it and made a decision, and then asked, "How is the North American schedule in December?" ā
The films released on December 9 include "The Magic Kingdom of Narnia", "Brokeback Mountain" by Li Yu, and "Memoirs of a Geisha" starring Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li. On December 14, there will be "King Kong" directed by Peter Jackson, on December 16 it will be "The Stone Family", on December 21 there will be Fox's "Children in a Basket 2", on December 23 "Munich", on December 21 "The New Money Grabbing Couple", and on December 25 "Gossip". The marketing department was obviously prepared, so Ding Wei said without any pause.
"Why aren't there any new blockbusters released in early December?" Lin Yuquan asked suspiciously. In North America, the time period of late November and early December is the golden period of autumn and winter, and it stands to reason that it should be the schedule that blockbusters strive for.
It is estimated that major film companies are afraid of the super popularity of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in North America. Avoiding head-on collisions is the only way to postpone or hide the big productions in your hands, as is the case with the two big movies "The Magic Kingdom of Narnia" and "King Kong". Ding Wei smiled.
"If they postpone it, we won't need it, anyway, the competitive pressure we will face in the future will not be much smaller, and now that "Harry Potter" is about to go offline, in this way, according to the method Ye Zetao said before, contact Fox Searchlight Pictures first. Negotiate with the other party about the overseas distribution of "Red Cliff", and the specific work of the negotiation can be handed over to Ye Zetao. Let him be fast, I have only one request. In terms of box office share, it must not be less than 30%, and if it is really not possible, we will contact other major film companies. Lin Yuquan said.
Although Fox Searchlight is mainly responsible for the distribution and release of non-American films in North America, who made Fox Searchlight and 20th Century Fox wear the same pants! Coupled with the good fate formed by the previous release of "Huo Yuanjia", it is naturally best to cooperate again.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Ding replied.
"Then let's do it first, I'm still in a hurry to film, and I'll be notified if there's something, okay, bye!" Lin Yuquan saw Wang Luodan glaring at him, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Sure enough, a blockbuster is a blockbuster, this momentum is different, as soon as I open my mouth, it will be released simultaneously around the world, when will I be able to play the heroine of such a blockbuster, don't say it, let's go, Director Liu called to shoot the next scene." Wang Luodan said and walked towards the set.
"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded, put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and followed Wang Luodan back to the set.
"Rain Fountains." Wang Luodan suddenly stopped, turned around, and stopped talking with a look of desire.
"What do you say, why are you spitting out, when did you start to be embarrassed about me, are you looking for me to borrow money, rest assured, even if it is to borrow money, it can be discussed." Lin Yuquan said funny.
"Don't joke about you, you'll die, I really said, don't be angry, it's Yiyi who asked me to tell you a word, saying that it was her fault for breaking up at the beginning, you can resent her and hate her, but it's been almost two years, it's time for you to harvest your new love." Wang Luodan plucked up his courage and said.
Lin Yuquan was stunned for a moment, and then said casually: "I know, you convey it to her for me, my heart knot has been untied, let her not take it to heart." ā
"Really?" Wang Luodanhu doubted, not only does Huang Shengyi know Lin Yuquan's character and have been friends for so long, how can she not know Lin Yuquan's introverted persistence and single-minded attitude towards love, not to mention that she is the only one among her friends who knows that Lin Yuquan came to Kyoto Film Academy because she was stimulated by Huang Shengyi.
"Really, it's still cooked, is it necessary for me to lie? By the way, why did she suddenly care about my relationship, did you tell her something? Lin Yuquan put on his helmet as he walked, as if he had thought of something, and he stared sideways at Wang Luodan.
was glared at by Lin Yuquan's eyes, Wang Luodan suddenly became embarrassed: "Actually, when I was chatting, I accidentally talked about this topic, I asked her if she was looking for a boyfriend?" She didn't answer right away, but asked about your situation first, you don't have a girlfriend in the first place, so I told her about the situation. ā
"I said Dandan, aren't you hurting me? What kind of person have you made me in her eyes, she must think that I can't afford to let go of the past relationship, and maybe think that I have nostalgia for her, but is this really the case? I'm too busy directing to think about what you thought at the time! Lin Yuquan's face was bitter, and he said a little angrily.
This is the first time he has spoken angrily in front of Wang Luodan, can he not be angry? As long as he is a normal man with self-esteem, no one wants to be dumped by a woman to see him down, and no one wants to be thought by a woman that his love is not over, it seems that he can't live without her, and when he thinks of how Huang Shengyi might look at himself, Lin Yuquan feels uncomfortable.
You have to find one quickly, Lin Yuquan said secretly, but looking at the forest in front of him, there was some confusion in his eyes, he should be looking for it, but where is his love? To be honest, there is no shortage of beautiful women around him, not to mention Yanzi, Dandan, Yifei, like Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Jinglei, Li Binbin and others he knows, each of them is a goddess in the minds of many men, but when their beautiful faces and graceful figures flashed in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't seem to feel moved.
"I'm really angry, didn't I just say that you won't be angry? Of course I know your situation, but Yiyi wants her to think so, what can I do, and she usually doesn't ask me for anything, now please let me convey this sentence, can I not convey it? Besides, she is not wrong, you should really put the matter of finding a girlfriend on the agenda, the young and promising director and billionaire have no girlfriends, and there are no scandals, if you don't know about you, even I doubt that you have a problem with your sexual orientation. Seeing Lin Yuquan's actions, Wang Luodan said with a smile.
"You, you, I really don't know what to say about you, instead of worrying about my affairs, it's better to worry about yourself, I've talked about it anyway, you, as far as I know, but I've never talked about friends during college! Do you feel inferior and dare not find a boyfriend! Lin Yuquan couldn't do anything about Wang Luodan, and he really couldn't blame her, and after he was angry, he also made a joke about her.
"Why should I have low self-esteem, although I am not too beautiful, I am optimistic, simple, and cute, girls like me chase a lot of older people, I just focus on my studies and acting career, and I don't plan to find it for the time being." Wang Luodan said angrily.
Lin Yuquan tilted his head and looked at Wang Luodan, and said with a smile: "The appearance is indeed not bad, and the personality is okay, but well, men are actually very concerned about their figures, and it is not good to be too peaceful." ā
Following Lin Yuquan's gaze, Wang Luodan looked down, and suddenly gritted his teeth and threw himself at Lin Yuquan: "Lin Yuquan, you nasty guy, I want to strangle you." ā
Lin Yuquan flashed easily, and then ran towards the set.
"Let's go, wait for Liu Men to be in a hurry." (To be continued) R655
