Chapter 125: Schedule

Bai Xiaofei values the few friends he has made.

Especially Shanzi and Dong Jian.

How many people in this world can discuss Kaede Matsushima with?

Especially now that there are many newcomers, who remembers the goddess who amazed an era back then?

The current post-90s generation is chasing Ai Haneda, Tsubasa Amami*Tsubasa, Jasmine Shiraishi, Momonoki Chana...

Human affection is better than Wu Jiang's coldness, and the world is more difficult than Shu Dao!

It's easy to meet a few like-minded people, of course, you have to cherish it!

Xiao Dong was a little dissatisfied with Bai Xiaofei.

"Knocking on the Door of Heaven" from project initiation to casting, Bai Xiaofei never thought about Xiao Dong at all, on the one hand, there is no role suitable for him - do you want to give him his role? On the other hand, Xiaobai has signed a company now, and there is no need to use Xiao Dong for many things.

At the beginning, "Waste Wood Brothers", Bai Xiaofei asked Dong Jian's company to participate in the production and distribution...

There is a great feeling of abandonment.

"When I used to watch the moon with me, I called someone Xiao Tiantian! Now the new man is better than the old man, and he is called Mrs. Niu! ”

……

"Next year I'll make a TV series, maybe a movie!"

"TV series are sitcoms and need a poor scholar, do you have time?"

After sitting down, Xiaobai directly made an invitation.

“… TV series? ”

Dong Jian was a little hesitant...

Or is it the same sentence, people from serious classes can't watch TV series, and it's still a sitcom?

Xiao Dong is backed by Sister Hua, and the resources are not too good!

Otherwise, do you think anyone can play "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers"?

Jia Zhangke's movie may be able to win an international actor or something...

"Let's put it this way, I have high expectations for this TV series, and if nothing else, it should be the sealed work of my TV series!"

“… Is the script ready? ”

"The first forty episodes have been completed..."

"Send it to me..."

"Let's start with it, the filming of this drama will last at least half a year. If you take it, you can't just ask for leave! ”

Xiaobai took out a thick pile of manuscripts from the document bag he was carrying: "The role you play is the grandson of the prefect of the former dynasty, Lu Qinghou, Lu Xiucai, who can read thousands of words at the age of three, memorize Tang poems at the age of five, read four books and five classics at the age of seven, and are proficient in poetry and songs at the age of eight, but cannot memorize multiplication formulas. Later, due to repeated failures, he was impoverished at the age of twenty-five, sold his ancestral property Shangru Inn, and worked in Tongfu Inn..."

"Hmm..."

Xiao Dong lowered his head and began to read the script.

"Xiucai is erudite, and the teachings of Confucius, Bacon, Bacon, Shakespeare, and other sons can be catchy. Zi said, knowledge is power. He can recite poetry and write fluent English, although he is full of "Zi once said...", and is often bullied, but he still believes that knowledge is power! ”

"Hmm..."

"When it comes to feelings, Xiucai has a heartbeat. He has the common problem of many men: as long as he is looked at by a woman, he doesn't know why, from how to marry this woman to whether she will be as good to her pet dog as she is. For some reason, he fell in love with Guo Nuxia, and he couldn't tell what he liked about her. ”

"Hmm..."

"Don't you always huh, you can't answer?"

"You let me read it first!"

Dong Jian couldn't help but get angry!

The most annoying thing is this kind of person who delays others!

“… You see, you see"

Bai Xiaofei shut up...

……

In fact, the schedule for the release of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is not very good.

It's not that there are any too awesome competitors, but the domestic audience doesn't seem to have the habit of entering the cinema in late October!

Generally, after late 0, domestic films that want to make a difference at the box office will avoid this schedule - February is the New Year...

The Chinese New Year file is generally a time period for the whole people to watch movies, so generally excellent domestic movies will also appear in February...

This time period is generally given to Hollywood blockbusters.....

In other words, Lao Mei has really paid attention to the domestic market in recent years, and knows to avoid the domestic film protection month, you know, from the month to August, it is the summer file in the traditional sense, and generally only the summer file will release blockbusters!

It's good now, I actually postponed the release of "Ant-Man" to 0 months!

In direct competition with "Knocking on Heaven's Door" is "Ant-Man".

However, "Ant-Man" has been in theaters for a week.

There are also several imported films, the theatrical version of "Detective Conan", "The Little Prince", "Elf Hotel 2"...

In addition, there are a bunch of messy movies, "Since I Can't Keep My Youth", "Raptors", "Two Dogs Return Home"...

The release of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" was handed over to Wanda, and in the end it was agreed to the guaranteed release...

Wanda has the largest cinema chain in the country, and it is handed over to them for distribution, whether it is Xiaobai or Chen Laoba, they are quite relieved.

Of course, their distribution fees are not cheap, especially for guaranteed release contracts, once the box office exceeds 500 million, they can charge 12% of the box office!

It is normal that even an independent film cannot be completely disconnected from the outside world, and it is always necessary to cooperate and compromise in one way or another to complete the final release, and it can only be done alone in a sense.

"If nothing else, our "Gate of Heaven" should be able to have more than 25% of the film schedule!"

The movie will be screened, and Chen Baolian also rushed over from Xihong City.

"Twenty-five percent? Wanda is amazing! ”

Xiaobai was a little surprised.

"Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is a pure rookie director and rookie actor, and he can have such a high film schedule...

"Don't you know the results of the screening two days ago?"

“… Of course I know, I'm there. ”

In general, before the movie is released, there must be a screening session, and a group of experts and media are invited to watch the film.

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" certainly did this.

There is no doubt that the media and experts have given high praise!

In particular, a bunch of experts spoke highly of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven", believing that this is a true and pure commercial film that will become a compass for domestic commercial films...

Fortunately, he was not invited to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards...

To be honest, Xiaobai doesn't care much about the opinions of these experts.

If you think about it, even "Pure Heart" can be praised as a flower, expressing great doubt about the vision of these experts...

Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the results of the screening at all.

"The industry generally thinks that our movie can explode!"

“… Before the release of "One Step Away", Wanda guaranteed a minimum of one billion, but the result? ”

“… Forget it, I can't talk about you, by the way, there's an interview tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow the movie will be released, I don't have time for an interview!"

Bai Xiaofei decisively refused, in the month before the movie was released, he was either being interviewed every day, or on the way to being interviewed...

Annoying!

"Then you tomorrow..."

"I'm not available for the day tomorrow, the movie is out, I've done everything I have to do as a director, and now it's time to accept the audience's evaluation!"
