Chapter 926: The Big Backstage
In fact, not only the post-production minister felt so excited, but all the employees who watched "Juggernaut 2" were in a state of blood like the post-production minister at this time, and they were also sure that the "Juggernaut 2" in front of them was the history of mankind, and it was the most magnificent and atmospheric movie ever shot by mankind!
It's a pity that the Oscars are not held in Huaxia, otherwise all these awards will not be covered by this "Juggernaut 2"!
"Hmmm! Don't praise me, don't pat me on the back! As a film director, Mu Tian said with a smile, in fact, to be honest, the filming of this battle is still fresh in Mu Tian's memory.
Although Mu Tian didn't have to think about any post-production issues at all, he just set up more than a dozen cameras to shoot the entire war in an all-round way with real lenses.
But in fact, it is difficult to show the shock of the movie with real shots, because if the wide-angle lens is really enlarged to shoot, the audience will only be able to see ant-like villains and colorful fireworks on the screen.
Therefore, the movie picture shot by Mu Tian for the first time was almost unusable, and then in a full 12 days, Mu Tian learned while shooting, first borrowed some big scenes from other movies, and finally let Mu Jiajun repeat the war nine times, and finally had the current finished product, and at the same time, Mu Tian's film shooting skills have also been greatly improved.
But then again, in the eyes of real movie masters, there are still a lot of problems in the Tianmang battle of "Juggernaut 2", and even made a lot of kindergarten-level mistakes, and the director of this movie is simply not at the level of the stream.
But this can't hide the grandeur and atmosphere of this battle, as well as the creepy reality, this is completely a real magical world, so Mu Tian's mistakes and shortcomings are all covered up, in the eyes of outsiders, "Juggernaut 2" is a perfect movie.
"Okay, let's not talk about any more hype, now let's talk about the problem!" Mu Tian knocked on the table, and at the same time pointed to the post-production minister and said, "It's still you, now you tell me, for you, what problems and difficulties are there in Juggernaut 2 that we need to solve!" ”
"This ......," the post-production director sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said, "As far as the movie itself is concerned, "Juggernaut 2" has no problems, it is perfect in all aspects, and our work is relatively easy, we only need to add the required opening and ending, as well as the production crew list or something!" ”
"Our entire post-production department was able to work overnight to ensure that all the additional production processes were completed within three days, but there were some problems with the copying. Our "Juggernaut 2" is a 200-minute high-definition movie, but all of them are digital copies, and the size of each copy is probably more than 1000 G, even if you use the best equipment to copy the copy, I'm afraid it will take about 30 minutes to complete a copy! ”
"And now there are a total of 60,000 screens in the country, even if we only get 5,000 screens, but with our company's existing strength and machinery, I am afraid that we will not be able to make at least 5,000 copies in a month!"
"Oh, how many copies can you make at most?" Mu Tian asked.
"3,000, with our company's current strength, I'm afraid we can only make 3,000 copies at most in a month!" The post-production minister said with a wry smile, "But it's not too much of a problem, I'm looking for some friends, I can ask someone to help us make copies, but in this case, we have to bear the risk of copy leakage, in case someone uses some means to leak our movie on the Internet in advance, then we may ......"
"Well, is the industry getting bad enough now?" Mu Tian jumped his eyebrows when he heard this.
"This, there is naturally no need to worry about ordinary movies, but our company has been in the limelight recently, and many people are trying to embarrass us, so I'm afraid of ......" The post-production minister didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was obvious.
"You wait, I'll make a call and ...... first" Before Liu Lao left, he gave Mu Tian a phone call, this phone is a phone number that the state is responsible for docking with Mu Tian, and the characters in it heard that they are all xxx characters, Liu Lao patted his chest and told Mu Tian that if there is any difficulty, just call this number, as long as it is a harmonious requirement, the state will help.
"Hey, is it Mr. Wang" Mu Tian didn't hesitate and dialed the phone directly.
"It's me, what do you need help with Mr. Mu?" The person on the other end of the phone said very politely.
"That's right, my company's movie is about to be released, but I'm afraid there are not enough machines for copying, do you think the film can ...... Uh-huh...... Thank you very much! Mu Tian hung up the phone with a smile, and then said, "Okay, the problem is solved, China Film will accept the next, 20,000 copies, and it will be done within 30 days, without any problems!" In addition, security can also be guaranteed, after all, people are large state-owned companies, and they will not be red eyes on us! ”
"......" took everyone to look at Mu Tian's face full of admiration and amazement, and a phone call actually asked Zhongying to make 20,000 copies. Although China Film Company is large, I am afraid that this is also all the production capacity of China Film, and his chairman is really big face.
"How? Still have questions? Mu Tian asked with a smile.
"There is no problem, our post-production department guarantees that the task is completed !!" The post-production minister seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and almost said again, "If you can't complete the task, you will come to see you!" ”
"Alright, the next department!" Mu Tian continued.
"Chairman, our marketing department has some questions!" A man with glasses said, "Chairman, I'm worried about whether 200 minutes will be too long so that we will have a problem with pricing!" ”
"Oh! What's wrong with this?? Mu Tian asked.
"That's right, judging from the current market, not counting the promotional activities held by each theater itself, our company will generally give the theater chain a guide price, and the value of the theater chain will also fluctuate around this guide price."
"The ticket price of a 90-minute 2D movie is generally about 40 yuan, and the ticket price of a 3D movie is generally about 60 yuan, which is an acceptable price in the market. But our "Juggernaut 2" has 200 minutes, which is equivalent to the time it takes for two movies to be shown in theaters, so the price should be doubled, and the market guide price should be set at about 120 yuan! ”
"But what the audience can't accept, they don't care that the duration of one of our movies is equivalent to the length of two movies, they just think that this is one movie, but the ticket price is sold for the price of two movies! This ticket price is too expensive, I am afraid that there will be a large number of viewers who are unwilling to pay and would rather wait for online piracy! ”
"And in this case, it will also greatly hurt the enthusiasm of the theater, the audience can not watch it, but the time of the theater cannot be made up, so the theater will definitely compress our schedule accordingly, so movies that are too long will encounter the situation that the theater is unwilling to schedule, the audience is unwilling to watch, and the box office is pitiful, so even many Hollywood movies dare not top the duration at about 200 minutes!"
"Chairman, you see we're cutting the time shorter...... Or ......," the marketing minister said again.
"You can't cut it short!" Before Mu Tian could speak, the post-production minister just now rushed to say, "This is a perfect masterpiece, even if you lose a minute, it will be the damage of each great masterpiece, and you can't reduce it for a minute!" ”
“…… This will inevitably affect our commercial value and box office," the marketing minister said helplessly.
"Ticket prices are a real problem!" Mu Tian nodded, thought about it and said, "That's it, the duration must not be cut, let's set the ticket price at 80 yuan, which is only 20 yuan more expensive than ordinary movies, and the audience should be able to accept it." The main reason why we make movies is to make them available to all audiences, and if we reject most of the audience because the ticket prices are too high, we will put the cart before the horse! ”
"The ticket price is so low, I'm afraid the theater is reluctant to schedule films!" The marketing minister was embarrassed and said, "Also, this time the film schedule is a big problem. Generally speaking, the schedule should be set 2-3 months in advance, and at the same time, the major theaters will make corresponding preparations, and we can also talk about the problem of film scheduling. Now it's going to be on the shelves within a month, and I'm afraid that the theaters won't give us a satisfactory schedule, because people don't have any preparation! ”
"And this time it's not an ordinary schedule, but a Spring Festival file, as far as I know, there are now 5 heavyweight masterpieces scheduled to be released in the Spring Festival, all of them are the top traffic stars in China, or the works of powerful stars, if we force it to be released, even if we want to exceed 10%, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"
"Well...... this" Mu Tian hesitated, film scheduling is indeed a big problem, Mu Tian can't let the state mandate it, but the theater will increase the film schedule for itself, Mu Tian is at most just to let the theater chain under China Film increase the film schedule.
"This is actually easy to do!" Wang Yanzheng on the side suddenly said, "We directly exempted Qianda's 1.4 share last time, and the chairman of Qianda has always been grateful to us, and has made it clear to me several times that he will definitely give "Juggernaut 2" the best treatment!" ”
"Qianda Cinema is the largest cinema chain in China, as long as Qianda Cinema can give "Juggernaut 2" a large enough schedule, then the problem of other cinemas is not big! I'm sure of that! ”
"Good! This problem is perfectly solved! Mu Tian laughed, he couldn't imagine that he had a trace of kindness at the beginning, and he actually had such benefits!
"That's okay, then there will be no other problems" The marketing minister nodded, "Actually, the quality of our "Juggernaut 2" is very good, and now the level of the audience is getting higher and higher, and they know how to chase good quality films. The excellent quality of our "Juggernaut 2" is here, as long as the early film schedule is enough, it will definitely be able to detonate the market, I will make a package ticket, as long as the early film schedule can be more than 10%, I am confident that "Juggernaut 2" will replicate the miracle of last year's "The Wandering Earth 2", at least 400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ”
"Very well, do you have any other questions?" Mu Tian finally asked again.
"Yes!" A tall figure, with a layer of temptation wrapped in her legs, bright makeup, and a beauty full of temptation, "Chairman, I am Xiao Zhou of the Public Relations Department, I have the biggest problem here, if this problem can't be solved, then it's superfluous!" ”
"What's the problem?" Mu Tian asked curiously.
"It's a matter of process and audit!" Xiao Zhou helped his black-framed glasses and said in a delicate voice, "Chairman, our film is almost starting from scratch now, and there is no project approval, if you want to pass the GD review and go through the whole process, even if everything goes very smoothly, it will take at least two months or more!" ”
"But if somebody caused us the slightest bit of trouble, it could have turned into five months, or even ten months, two years! Chairman, can you give us the task and wait for us to complete the task on time...... Even if I spread my legs apart every day, I wouldn't be able to catch up! ”
"Forehead......" Mu Tian touched the beads of sweat on his head, "I'll make another call!" ”
"Hey, Mr. Wang, there is one more thing I forgot to mention, I heard that it will take two months for the review and process of my movie...... Is it? Can you let the comrades from GD come to us now to review the movie, and as long as they say that the movie is okay, it can be released directly!! ”
"Oops, wouldn't this be too much trouble for the comrades of the GD? Shall I take care of the food!? ”
"What! Come over after dinner, that's not good, I still have a working meal here, okay, thank you, this matter is decided! I will send someone to receive the review comrades of GD! ”
Mu Tian hung up the phone with a snap, and then said with a smile, "Okay, as long as there is no problem with today's review, we will have no problem with the release tomorrow!" ”
At this moment, everyone looked at Mu Tian as if they were looking at God!
His own boss, the background is all over the sky!
