September, Teacher's Day.

There are still three months to go until December, but the editing, post-production, special effects, and dubbing and soundtrack will all be done within these four months.

To Lin Xiao's surprise, the special effects company contacted by Time Warner was actually the famous "Lucas Army" industrial light and magic.

Of course, the other party's asking price is also famous, with a total of ten minutes of special effects and millions of dollars of investment, so that Zhang Yongliang, the minister of Wanda, did not close his mouth for a long time with the bill.

"Lin, Director Lin, do you really need to invest so much in special effects?" He was extremely uneasy, this kind of real CG is rarely used in domestic films, and the painted skin can be said to be the largest computer special effects movie.

Millions of dollars, converted into more than 100 million yuan. Originally, this money was an additional payment from Time Warner, but now it has fallen on Wanda's head.

It's not that Wanda can't afford this money, 100 million is nothing to Wanda, but what they are afraid of is that they won't be able to recover the cost.

"Now counting the investment of the crew, it is approaching 200 million." Even people like Zhang Yongliang, who are used to seeing big money, feel frightened.

"Minister Zhang, you have said this countless times." Lin Xiao smiled, "However, this film is released worldwide. Generally speaking, the global box office is usually about one and a half times that of the domestic market, and there is no problem in recovering the cost. ”

Zhang Yongliang gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally put the list aside with a headache, out of sight.

After sending a copy of the film to the United States in person, Lin Xiao entered what can be described as the busiest time period.

Editing, in fact, is more difficult than shooting, a picture has been pondered thousands of times, which shot you want, which angle you want, and even whether you want this picture, or whether you want to use someone else to set it off, you need to think carefully.

It was in this atmosphere that the time entered October.

This National Day ushered in a great news.

South Korea's largest cinema chain, the world's only listed cinema CGV, and the second largest cinema chain Lotte and Yongle have decided to screen the painting skin in the Chinese New Year file!

And Japan's Toei, Toho, and projectors have also decided to be screened in the Chinese New Year file!

The main thing is that these two companies all decided to put in the first wave, that is, the main screening!

This is an affirmation from the other two economic powers among the three major Asian countries!

However, Lin Xiao was not happy because of this.

"What? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Qin Xin looked at Lin Xiao, who didn't touch the ground all day long, and asked worriedly, "This is good news." It shows that the film institutions of the two countries have a very high affirmation of the painted skin, the first wave of screenings is a good start, if the film is not good, it is impossible to get this position, as far as I know, this is the first time for domestic films, right? ”

Lin Xiao shook his head and continued to look at the information in his hand.

For the first time, it was a sure, but it meant a bloodier fight.

The first is the Japanese box office, which is a very amazing country because their 2D industry and derivatives are second in the world, and no one dares to say first.

This has led to the fact that the box office in Japan is dominated by anime a lot of times, and it's not 3D animation, it's 2D animation!

This is probably the only one in the world!

If he remembers correctly, Painted Skin will face the gold-sucking masterpiece of the global game giant Nintendo, which saved Nintendo's nuclear weapon from fire and water - Pokemon. Seven Nights Wishing Star!

In a predominantly 2D country, don't look at it as just a 2D movie, but their propaganda techniques are no one can compare.

Because of this movie, those who watch it will have the opportunity to get Pokemon exclusive elves, which is undoubtedly a frenzy in just a few words for Japan, which plays pockets all over the country!

In addition, there are countless people's childhood memories released at the same time, Doraemon theatrical version, the messenger of the wind.

Either one, it's an absolute killer!

Not to mention the debut of "King of Terror" Curse 2, which was rated as the second battle royale with a five-star script.

The Japanese market is probably going to be the toughest battle ever!

And the Korean market, a supermarket that will surpass the Japanese market in the future, has the classic masterpiece "Old Boy" released. There is also the assistance of Shiwei Island, the memory of killing. It's the same hard bone to chew.

Can the painted skin be affirmed in these two markets? Everything will not be seen in two months!

November.

Each crew made it to the final sprint. And the special effects of Industrial Light & Magic have also been sent back. At the beginning of the month, the painting skin was all done.

At this point, a film can be regarded as truly completed.

"Immediately send to overseas theaters!" Lin Xiao did not hesitate to order, he wanted to leave the most translation time for the other party.

……

Japan, Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Yurakucho 1-chome, 2ban.

A magnificent building stands here, and the flow of people is weaving.

Everyone knows that this building is home to the headquarters of Toho Corporation, Japan's largest film and television group.

Founded in 1932 as a Tokyo Takarazuka Cinema Line, this subsidiary of the Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group is now one of Japan's largest film and television companies.

In a quiet room, a large screen is lit up with painted skin, and the scene is full of light.

"How?" After an hour and a half, the lights came on, and it became clear that there were four people sitting in the room, three men and one woman.

The questioner was an old man sitting in the first seat.

After a moment of silence, the woman spoke, "Very good, I kind of know why Kato-kun let them play the first round." ”

"It's hard to imagine that this is a film made in China, and the plot connection is very powerful."

"The special effects should not be made in Asia, typical American style, it seems to cost a lot of money."

"This film will become one of the main hits at the end of the year." The old man thought for a while, knocked his fingers on the table and said, "This film is a genius work, although the director's technique is still very immature, but have you noticed that the director, screenwriter, and starring are all the same person." ”

"Trinity?!" A man said in shock, "I think the leading actor is only in his twenties, and he can make such a film?!" ”

The old man smiled: "What does the first round mean?" and Cursed 2, Battle Royale 2, or Pokemon collision, which one is not a national movie? I dare to let them go to the first round of releases, naturally I have confidence in this film. ”

"Especially at the beginning of it, it actually uses this method to evoke everyone's memory and instantly remind everyone of the story of painted skin...... It's really ingenious...... he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "Contact China's Dawn Company, pay close attention to the schedule, I have a hunch that at the end of this year, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful." ”

And in the country, a month in advance, a tragic propaganda offensive has begun.

At the door of each cinema, Zhang Guoli and Fan Binbin of mobile phones, Jin Chengwu who are ambushed on all sides, Liu Dehua, Wu Yanzu, Lin Xiao of the painted skin, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi of Wuji, their large posters can be described as the four most dazzling landscapes at the end of this year.

Every crew is conducting a national press conference.

And on the Internet, it has long been turned upside down.

This is not 01 years, but 03 years, in the past two years, China's network has spread out rapidly, and users have shown a blowout trend, and it has long ceased to be 01 million netizens.

Lin Xiao sat in front of the computer, and now he was idle, looking at the speculations about the three films on the Internet.

"Director Feng's blockbuster, mobile phone. Didn't use Ge You?! I predict that this film will fail! I'm just going for Ge You! ”

"Director Zhang Da is getting worse and worse now, he actually started to play the card of star effect, a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, I saw a Zhang Ziyi in the mainland, has he degenerated to the point that he needs to rely on Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to boost his popularity?"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs, I believe Director Feng's movie, just watch Director Lin's movie, Director Zhang's this year should have learned the lessons of last year."

"yes, is there anything else to see at the end of the year?"

And so on, Lin Xiao looked at it, and suddenly felt that there was something missing.

The same big killer for movie promotion.

"It's '04 soon, and it looks like it's time to show up......," he muttered.

It's just one of the sites, and on his official homepage, many of his fans have already made the whole page red.

"Eleven Lang's first self-written, directed, and self-acted blockbuster is about to be released, everyone hurry up and cheer!"

"This year, I'm just waiting for this drama, who made me a big fan of Eleven Lang."

"Don't be disappointed."

"Upstairs, when did Eleven Lang disappoint us?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and typed out a line of words, "Painted skin, I will never let you down!" ”

After posting, he got out of the account.

The time soon came to December.

The major film and television magazines have completely regarded these big dramas at the end of the year as covers, and you will sing and I will appear. And propaganda has also come to the last moment.

This is not 02 years, Lin Xiao did not use other means, after all, there is such a thing as a water army, the later it appears, the better, and the quality of the film is what filmmakers should pay attention to.

December 1st.

An unexpected person found Lin Xiao.

Feng Xiaogang.

"There's still a week, and we'll see soon." The two were in Lin Xiao's own house, Feng Xiaogang was holding a teacup and muttered, "Although our relationship is here, I can't stop this bone joint." ”

"I'm also very confident in the mobile phone film."

"Then why are you still looking for me?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"I don't want to fight you." Feng Xiaogang also smiled, "Don't forget that I have read the script of Painted Skin, as long as you are not bad at directing, this film can move a large number of people with the plot alone." ”

"But this year, it's even different." He leaned forward and looked at Lin Xiao's gaze, "I swear, what I am saying now is absolutely from my heart, if I lie to you, let me Feng Xiaogang go out and be hit by a car and die." ”

Lin Xiao's face also became serious, it seems that what Feng Xiaogang wants to say now definitely has a lot to do with it.

"This year, not only me, but also you, but also Zhang Yimou, and even Director Chen Da of Farewell My Concubine has joined in."

Lin Xiao nodded, perhaps because there are no thieves in the world, and the hero's money grabbing is too eye-catching, and the "steamed bun blood case" Wuji, which should have appeared a year later, also appeared this year.

The return of a butterfly causes an unpredictable storm.
