Chapter 42: Screening Session

"Ying Shao, I have inquired clearly, it was Xiang Yang who targeted him on the Huanyu side, and he also released his words, who dares to eat inside and outside Zhang Guorong is an example. ”

Ying Shuai listened to Wanquan's report, was silent for a long time, and said: "You go and contact Huanyu and inquire about how much compensation Zhang Guorong needs to terminate the contract? ”

Wan Quan shook his head, Yingshuai This is a loss-making deal, not to mention offending the bigwigs in the entertainment industry, Zhang Guorong has lost a lot of popularity after this blockade, and it is somewhat cost-effective to pay a sky-high price to breach the contract to invite such an outrageous king, it is better to hold one up yourself.

Yingshuai didn't think so, this incident was caused by himself, so he naturally had to carry it, and the most important thing to come out of the mix was not the word righteousness, just as the 300 million that didn't win last time, of course, how could a star's liquidated damages exceed 100 million.

Putting down this matter, Yingshuai started the later stage of the film, and as a director, he is naturally no stranger to editing, but he is still a little rusty in his own technology.

He Bing introduced an editor who watched the door at the Daming Film Academy, but he was not good-looking, and he was not well-known in the circle, but the connoisseur stretched out his hand to know if there was one.

Ying Shuai put his thoughts simply, and people roughly cut out a piece of film with a few clicks of scissors, which is really not far from Ying Shuai's requirements.

As soon as Yingshuai was happy to invite someone to drink, he regretted it as soon as he served it, this whole wine fairy.

As soon as I came up, I didn't need to cook three glasses first, and my sister's was still a whiskey glass of two or two, and the burning knife that was hot in my mouth went down like this.

In order not to admit it, Yingshuai simply exchanged it with a distressed heart, Qiao Feng's alcohol was proficient, so he could be regarded as lying under the table with the old man.

Now the old man was obedient, and took advantage of the wine to pour out all his experiences.

It turned out that this old man was originally an editor of Huanyu Pictures, and later because of a car accident, his wife and son were gone, so he got drunk, but he didn't expect to cut the film that Xiang Huaqiang invested heavily in, and he was banned now, and he couldn't get along in the circle, fortunately, the principal of Daming Film Academy cooperated with him and gave him a job as a janitor, and by the way, he could also take some private work in private.

What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century, of course, is talent, the hero decisively dug the foot of the film academy, as for offending the world, who cares, whether a sheep is herded two or the same.

The old man refused to say his name, because he liked to drink, and everyone liked to call him old wine, and he himself was used to this title.

With the help of Lao Jiu, the post-production has also been accelerated a lot, the film is all in the mind of Yingshuai, plus it is originally a youth film, there are no special effects to be made, and the post-production was completed in less than two weeks.

。。。。

"Bang Bang!"

Li Xingyun regained the image of a cold female president at this time, and the handsome man couldn't find the shadow of the Xiangjiang dinner from her. After watching the sample film cut out by Yingshuai, she couldn't help but applaud softly.

"Director Ying, it didn't disappoint us, the film is very exciting, but it seems to be a little different from traditional youth films. Lu Xuejun also said.

They were conducting a test film, and the three companies arranged for twenty or thirty people to watch the sample film in a small area and propose revisions.

The film is exciting enough, but everyone is a little hesitant about the prediction of market prospects, the key is that they have never seen the same type of film, one step ahead is advanced, and two steps ahead is a martyr. How many good films hit the streets at that time, and it wasn't until they were turned out a long time later that they became classics, but so what, the company that made the film had already lost a lot of money, and even went bankrupt because of it.

In this way, Galaxy Cinemas first came up with 120 theaters for trial screenings, and according to the results, we are determining the follow-up promotion plan. Li Xingyun took out the domineering spirit of a female president.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the recent new film?" Lu Xuejun asked about the competitors who were going to be released in the near future.

Mr. Zhang of the marketing department of Galaxy said: "Mr. Lu, our publicity warm-up and start a month in advance, so that according to the normal process, it should be released at the beginning of next month. However, there are two strong opponents next month, Chen Peisi's "Three and a Half Heroes" will be released on the 8th of next month, and Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" will be released on the 6th. ”

Lu Xuejun and Li Xingyun glanced at each other, they both saw the fear in each other's eyes, Chen Peisi's comedy has always been very strong, and there is no Yang Ma in this time and space, so he didn't go to plant trees to act in dramas, it can be said that he is the first person in the inland box office of Daming.

As for Zhang Yimou, he is also a great director in this time and space, but after all, the film is more literary and artistic, and he has not yet made up "Hero", and the commercial value has not been taken seriously.

"There are no key films to be released in Xiangjiang next month?" asked Li Xingyun.

"Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao's "Five Lucky Stars" is planned to be released in Daming next month, that is, in November, and there is only one film directed by a newcomer in October, so it seems that there is no need to pay special attention. ”

Ying Shuai asked curiously: "What kind of film?"

Mr. Zhang flipped through the file and said: "A "Mr. Zombie" directed by Liu Guanwei, he turned out to be a cameraman, this is his first film, and there are no stars in it, only Lin Zhenying is a little famous." They were released on the fifteenth. ”

What is "Mr. Zombie"? Ying Shuai sighed, Uncle Ying is still here after all, the original time and space is the existence of sweeping the Xiangjiang film industry, and when it is the hottest, Uncle Ying's Taoist can rival Cheng Long's kung fu films.

Mr. Zhang continued: "I suggest that we avoid Chen Peisi at the beginning of the month, and put it on the 15th with "Mr. Zombie". ”

Lu Xuejun and Li Xingyun also think this suggestion is good.

Ying Shuai secretly said in his heart: "Are you sure you want to fight Uncle Ying?"

Naturally, he knew the terrifying box office dominance of zombie films, so he asked: "What about this month? Is it possible that it will be released in the middle of the month now that it is only the beginning of the month, we have been promoting and warming up for more than half a month, and I will strive to complete the post-production in three days." ”

"Will it be too rushed in the middle of the month, and the insufficient publicity will have a great impact on the film. ”

Yingshuai knows better that when two strong films come together, it is very likely that both will lose.

At his insistence, although Lu Xuejun and Li Xingyun didn't know the reason, they also felt that there was no need to argue with him, and finally both sides took a step back, and the film was released on the last Friday of September, that is, on September 22. In this way, there will be a three-week screening period before Chen Peisi's film, and a small-scale trial in 128 theaters in the first week of the midterm.

Soon after the meeting, Mr. Zhang came to a hidden corner and took out his phone.

"They decided that the new film will be released on the 22nd of this month. ”

On the other end of the microphone, a voice only whispered faintly to indicate that he understood.
