Children should have their own little world, not to mention girls, as an elder Li Changhua is still very successful, Zhang Qiuxi and Li Yue have been very clear about when to care and when to keep smiling, and they are very measured.

Zhang Qiuxi is no different from his own daughter, and Hongdou has seen him countless times as a good friend of his two daughters, but although he is a child, he also has the attributes of guests and partners, so he is still the same as entertaining guests, and he politely poured tea for Hongdou, and by the way, he also poured a cup for Zhang Qiuxi.

"Warner Bros. contacted us before, and the Martian Manhunter schedule has been determined, and it will be released next month, and we are preparing to reveal this news to the media." After pouring the tea, Zhang Qiuxi and Hongdou's idle conversation was over, so Li Changhua went back to his position and got down to business.

The news of the booking was revealed to the media in order to ignite the enthusiasm of the audience and to promote the momentum. Zhang Qiuxi was not surprised by this news, there was already news that "If**" was going to be completed long before the filming started, and it was too late to drag it on.

For a blockbuster of this type of specification, it is acceptable to wait for such a long time, Hongdou nodded and said: "We thought it would be released in the summer." Uncle, isn't it a little early? ”

The best schedules of the year are the Chinese New Year and summer files, which is common sense, and Hongdou thinks it should be more advantageous to put it in the summer file, Li Changhua said: "Originally, we did think so, but this year is a blockbuster year, in addition to Hollywood, there are already a bunch of blockbusters that will be introduced, and domestic films have also started a new pace." The summer schedule is too crowded. ”

"I have a concern about this, alas, it is said that this year is the first year of science fiction for domestic films, in addition to starting to try science fiction films, there are also a lot of magical adventure works, which is really refreshing." Zhang Qiuxi followed and nodded again and again.

These films were already building up a lot of momentum long before filming began. And the actors are either popular students or powerful actors, it does seem that there is a new atmosphere and it is worth looking forward to, and it may not be possible to really bring changes to domestic films. It's just that the audience has been fooled countless times, so there are not many people who are optimistic about these works, and they don't believe that domestic films can get qualitative changes this year.

"It's hard to say exactly how it will be, but as far as we know, investors have a lot of expectations for these works. And very confident. Although Martian Manhunter is not afraid of competition even in the summer file, there is not much difference in when the same time it will be released. ”

I haven't seen the movie, but I don't know the specifics, but I am mixed in the same industry, and Li Changhua still knows a lot about some of the movements of his peers. It's as if others know what they put their heart and soul into each year.

Hongdou carried the teacup and said: "Most of the blockbusters released in Hollywood this year seem to be sequels, we seem to be weaker in comparison, and superheroes are not necessarily popular. ”

In fact, Zhang Qiuxi also feels that he is not as optimistic as Li Changhua said, sequel movies have an audience base, and it is because the first one is accepted that a sequel can be made. Even if it's a domestic movie. Because those popular students and powerful actors are also very appealing, occupying the advantage of people and location.

And what about Martianhunter. Except for a few fans of DC Comics, and people who have paid attention to it because of the influence of previous movies, most of them don't know anything about it, and if Zhang Qiuxi hadn't taken over DC, he also didn't know what this thing was.

The audience is unfamiliar with the story, and the actors are equally unfamiliar with it. There is no audience base at all, and the only advantage is that since "Batman". DC has been made into a superhero's golden sign by Zhang Qiuxi, and no movie has ever disappointed the audience. DC fans are also growing.

"You're talking about Captain Marvel from Marvel Comics, right?" Li Changhua smiled and said, "I have also watched this movie, and I deserve to fail." They probably started to sit still after watching you sweep the world box office, but my strange thing is that the reaction seems to be too slow, it seems to be calm at first, and every picture of the movie is full of impatience. ”

Hongdou smiled, put down the teacup and stretched, and said: "When the superhero was about to retire from history, DC had us to take over, and Xiaoqiu, the anti-heaven being, was not so lucky. At the beginning, they couldn't get along with other companies, and they were in debt and couldn't afford it, and when we revitalized the market, it was even more difficult for them to negotiate with each other. ”

DC and Surprise are the two giants of American comics, and they still pay attention to the movements of potential opponents, and they can't talk about it when they can't see any benefits, not to mention that a big pie has been put on the table in front of them. Before they had this piece of cake in their hands, they had to divide it first, and by the time they had done all these things, they had already fallen countless steps behind when they finally decided to attack.

The DC cinematic universe built by Zhang Qiuxi is closely linked and closely linked, while "Captain Marvel" launched by Marvel Comics Offensive is just a product taken out in a hurry, just like Li Changhua said, every picture can see the impatience.

"The movie is telling the audience all the time, they are rushing to carve up the market, it's a pity that the audience doesn't eat this set, it's not like you can make money by putting a superhero on it, so I also think it's better to be cautious." In a similar vein, Zhang Qiuxi said it once during the Spring Festival when he did a special program for "The 10th Screening Room".

It's not that she's taking advantage of the situation to hit the enemy, but it's true, and the audience can feel it. Not only is the domestic box office dismal, but the North American base camp is also the same, Marvel Comics finally made a counterattack, and as a result, it lost tens of millions, which will inevitably affect the follow-up plan, if they have a follow-up plan......

"I also consider this issue, and it can be said that it is a prudent choice not to put it in the summer file." Li Changhua continued: "Now there are more and more domestic audiences who are accustomed to going to the cinema to watch movies, but there are still many strong choices, and the vast majority of audiences will only watch three or four super blockbusters a year on average. ”

Li Changhua didn't know where to get the number, but it should be reliable, he paused and continued: "That is to say, if these audiences are consumed in advance, those blockbusters that will be released later will lose these audiences." There is a domestic film protection month in the summer file, and after that, Hollywood blockbusters were too crowded, so we chose to release it next month, which is the first Hollywood blockbuster introduced this year, occupying a new opportunity. ”

This statement is not bluffing, although the price of a movie ticket is not expensive, and there are more than half of the discounts for online orders, but after the baptism of a blockbuster, the market will really be weak for a period of time. This has been proven countless times.

Hongdou didn't expect this stubble before, nodded again and said: "So that's the case, then it's troublesome for my uncle to be happy, and you still need to work a lot when the publicity is released." ”

At this time, Hongdou was very polite, and Li Changhua smiled and said: "We are responsible for distribution, which should have been done, and it is only good for us to make a high box office." ”

This is already a joke, Zhang Qiuxi yawned and said: "Uncle, there is no need to discuss such a thing as the schedule with us, won't you call us here today just for this matter?" ”

In the past, Li Changhua would not make such a big fanfare, and usually said at the dinner table when he got home from work, if he didn't go to another place with the group, he would make a phone call, in fact, even if he knew it through guò media reports, it would not affect anything.

"This is just by the way, the real thing is that there is news from the United States, the filming funds of Transformers are no longer enough, and additional investment is needed, Warner Bros. has reservations about this, and has not expressed dissatisfaction, it should be waiting to see your reaction."

"I'll you." Li Changhua's news surprised Zhang Qiuxi and Hongdou, in fact, this is also a common thing for filmmaking, the bigger the director spends money, the more there is no bottom line, and often drives investors crazy, but this is the first time they have encountered it, and they have always left room when making a budget, and they are all enough.

"Ye Cheng is in control of the crew, why didn't he inform us of this situation?" Hongdou asked Zhang Qiuxi this question, but obviously he couldn't get an answer from here, Li Changhua answered: "Maybe I'm afraid of being scolded by you, the news came back from the producer of our company and the group, and I didn't spend the money where it shouldn't be." ”

Needless to say, Ye Cheng couldn't do that, and how the money should be spent is not what he says. The producer, that is, the role that Lee Chang-hwa himself often plays, is the legal person who represents the production company in the crew, and is responsible for things including the expenses of the crew's shooting, and the producer has no way to disagree with the director.

Hollywood is generally a producer system, and the director's authority is weakened very little, and he is generally limited to death, Ye Cheng is an exception, first of all, this is a co-production, and there is Zhang Qiuxi's support behind it, Warner Bros. has to give some face no matter how dissatisfied he is.

Now they have reservations, in fact, they have no opinion on additional investment, after all, they know very well how much profit this film can bring, and it is not beyond their limit.

In this way, things are actually simple, just discuss how much additional investment should be made, and then give them the money to continue filming, and Shuguang Media will not be entangled in this problem. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Ye Cheng's table is good enough, and the things filmed meet the expectations of these two companies. (To be continued)
