Since Liu Hanyi is the king of Xiangjiang who is just popular, the schedule is relatively tight.

When I first talked about the film appointment, I already talked about this.

The crew has a job to coordinate the schedules of the actors.

Even, sometimes the actors who play the rival play may never meet in the crew, and the rival play is performed separately.

Liang Youhua is the king of the older generation, and he will not take jobs so often, and he is relatively generous.

And Fang Xing is the male number one, and he is also the director, so he naturally follows the group throughout the whole process.

Therefore, the main schedule that the crew needs to coordinate is Liu Hanyi's schedule.

The role of the second male "Liu Jianming" was filmed together.

At the beginning, when coordinating the schedule, the film contract signed was one month.

In the end, it took 35 days of filming, and Liu Hanyi's scene was completed.

After Liu Hanyi's scene was completed, the main plot was basically filmed, and the remaining more important scenes were the rivalry between Fang Xing and Liang Youhua.

Liang Youhua plays the role of "Huang Zhicheng", which can be regarded as the mentor of the male protagonist "Chen Yongren".

Because "Chen Yongren" is an undercover agent, and in the entire police station, only "Huang Zhicheng" knows his identity.

Therefore, as a policeman, "Chen Yongren" has only sustenance on "Huang Zhicheng".

is also that if "Huang Zhicheng" dies one day, no one in this world will know the true identity of "Chen Yongren", and he can only be a black old brother for the rest of his life, and there will be no light in his whole life.

"Huang Zhicheng" will also use this "blackmail" male protagonist to continue to go undercover, of course, just joking.

This paragraph was filmed again.

Fang Xing was not very satisfied with the picture of the monitor, so he discussed with Liang Youhua: "'Huang Zhicheng' is a superintendent who deals with criminal groups every day.

"He can't be a kind person, he has to be ruthless, even to himself and his subordinates.

"Therefore, this paragraph threatens me to continue to be an undercover agent, otherwise I will not be given a scene to restore my identity, and I will act it seriously.

"And then, the sparkle of humanity, put it on the gift.

"It's my birthday soon, and you gave me a watch as a gift, and put it directly in the bag, which is the kind of expression that is obviously a gift, but you want to save face and don't know what to say."

After hearing this, Liang Youhua agreed: "Okay, try it." ”

The two walked back into the camera and started the segment again.

Playing the board.

Fang Xing was on the rooftop, his hands on the guardrail, his face full of laziness.

Liang Youhua said in a tone of lesson: "You just hurt people several times, I told you to see a psychiatrist, and you beat people everywhere." Have you forgotten that you are a good person or a bad person? ”

Fang Xing began to complain: "Obviously said three years, three years later, three years later, three years later, three years later, it's almost ten years, boss!" ”

Liang Youhua replied: "Can you treat me better?" Now I am the only one in Xiangjiang who knows your identity, I will go back and delete all your files, you will be a troubled boy for the rest of your life, and I don't have to worry about it. ”

"What do you want me to do? Every day I remind myself that I am a police officer, and when I dream about it, I say, 'Put down the gun!' I'm a cop! 'So? Fang Xing said in the end, roaring at Liang Youhua's ear, venting all his emotions.

Subsequently.

Liang Youhua handed over a cardboard bag.

Fang Xing received it in his hand, opened it to take a look, took out a black box the size of a matchbox, it was a bugging, and then complained that this thing was too big: "The police station is so rich? Why can't you buy some advanced equipment? ”

Just kidding.

Fang Xing continued to flip through the paper leather bag, turned out a watch, looked it up and down, and asked, "Pinhole camera, where is the pinhole?" ”

Liang Youhua wore sunglasses and said angrily: "The twenty-fifth is your birthday, stinky boy." ”

Fang Xing put on a stinky face and said, "Damn, I never wear a watch." ”

Finish this paragraph.

Fang Xing sat back and looked at the monitor, looked at it from the beginning, and said happily after reading it: "Perfect, this is over, ready to transfer!" ”

"Infernal Affairs" was filmed until the summer, all the scenes were completed, and then post-production began.

Since the scene was completed, the entertainment media has paid great attention to this movie.

When Liu Hanyi and Liang Youhua attended the event, they were often asked about "Infernal Affairs".

However, the movie has not yet been released.

Both kings are accustomed to seeing reporters and are very comfortable with such questions, not revealing details each time, but taking the opportunity to promote "Infernal Affairs".

"When you go to the cinema to see it, you must remember to watch it, it's very exciting."

When asked when it will be released, both said they didn't know the exact time.

Because "Infernal Affairs" is still in post-production, it has not yet been finalized.

However, according to the schedule, there is a high probability that it will be a National Day file, or a Spring Festival file.

Regarding the question of which schedule "Infernal Affairs" will be released, Fang Xing has not yet decided.

After all, the matter of setting the file is not something that can be decided by casual words.

It is necessary to cooperate with the publicity and distribution, as well as the cooperation of the issuing company.

Before.

The films of Ark Culture are all distributed in cooperation with Penguin Pictures.

Therefore, as soon as "Infernal Affairs" was completed this time, Zhang Changfeng began to invite Fang Xing to drink tea.

In addition, Shengrong Pictures also has contact with Ark Culture.

Commercially, just because you were a competitor in the past doesn't mean you can't cooperate in the future.

When "Crazy Stone" was released last year, Fang Xing used a 2 billion box office guarantee contract to eat up all the film scheduling resources of Penguin Pictures.

caused "Halfway Marry" to turn around and sign Shengrong Pictures.

Shengrong Pictures is also one of the three major film distribution companies and has strong strength in the industry.

Although the box office of "Halfway Marry" is not as good as "Crazy Stone", it is not bad, and the filmmaker and distributor are making money.

Last year, due to "Crazy Stone" and "Halfway Marry", he fought in the ring in the summer file.

Therefore, Ark Culture and Shengrong Pictures can be regarded as a competitive relationship.

However, there is no contradiction between the two companies, just normal business competition.

Therefore, just because you have competed in the past does not mean that you cannot cooperate in the future.

This time, Shengrong Pictures took the initiative to approach, and the goal was naturally "Infernal Affairs".

Qiao Yinghong heard that Shengrong Pictures came to talk about the cooperation of "Infernal Affairs", and did not refuse.

One more issuing company to compete, and when negotiating, you can get better terms.

If there are no competitors, Penguin Pictures will naturally say what is what.

However, with Shengrong Pictures as a competition, Penguin Pictures must offer better conditions if it wants to win "Infernal Affairs".

This is the simplest and most effective negotiation strategy.

Moreover, this time "Infernal Affairs" is far more sought-after than "Crazy Stone".

The reason is also very simple.

What was the starring lineup of "Crazy Stone"?

A group of third-tier actors who are not well-known.

What is the lineup of "Infernal Affairs" now?

The two major Xiangjiang actors, even the female characters who don't have many scenes, are all invited to be behind.

In addition, Fang Xing has proved his box office strength with "Crazy Stone".

With this kind of main creative lineup, can the box office be poor?

Now the industry's box office prediction for "Infernal Affairs" is believed to start at 2 billion.

Of course, this prediction is only a prediction based on experience and intuition, and it is only a first impression.

So far, "Infernal Affairs" has not even released a trailer.

In the end, no one in the industry knows what the quality is.

It's just that "Crazy Stone" has a box office of 2.4 billion, and with such a strong lineup as "Infernal Affairs", it should not be lower than "Crazy Stone".

Of course, in the film industry, there are many examples of the previous movie being a big hit, and the next movie hitting the streets.

It is still unknown whether the box office of "Infernal Affairs" can surpass "Crazy Stone" in the end.

Besides, Liu Hanyi and Liang Youhua, two actors, have made a lot of bad movies.

Especially Liang Youhua, he often has to repay favors, and the lower limit of bad movies is very low.

In fact.

When Liang Youhua made a cameo appearance in "Crazy Stone", he was also returning Zhang Changfeng's favor.

If "Crazy Stone" is a bad film, then this will be another bad movie made by Liang Youhua.

It's just that "Crazy Stone" was a big hit in the end, and the word-of-mouth box office exploded, so it didn't add another bad movie to Liang Youhua.

Now the starring lineup of "Infernal Affairs" is really strong, but there is still the possibility of bad filming.

Once the shoot is bad, the box office can be very amazing.

Of course.

With such a starring lineup, Fang Xing also has the box office appeal of "Crazy Stone".

Let's not talk about what the final box office is, the ability of "Infernal Affairs" to get the film schedule is definitely stronger than "Crazy Stone".

This.

When Zhang Changfeng invited Fang Xing to drink tea, he directly stated: ""Infernal Affairs" is handed over to me, and the film schedule will definitely not be lower than "Crazy Stone". ”

This guarantee must be sincere.

Moreover, there is no requirement for a guarantee.

At the beginning, "Crazy Stone" took 24% of the film schedule, which was exchanged for a 2 billion guaranteed box office contract, which was a bet.

This time, before Fang Xing could speak, Zhang Changfeng directly promised that the film schedule would not be lower than "Crazy Stone", and there was no need for any guaranteed box office skyrocketing.

The reason why he has such good conditions is naturally because the movies of Ark Culture are no longer as popular as they were a year ago.

There are many film distribution companies that want to compete for it.

It can be said that Fang Xing handed over "Infernal Affairs" to any film distribution company, and the other party was willing to come up with the highest schedule to cooperate.

Zhang Changfeng promised more than 24% of the film schedule, which means that Penguin Pictures can only release one popular movie "Infernal Affairs" in the same schedule.

After all, the scheduling resources that Penguin Pictures can get are limited, and the ability to publicize and distribute them is also limited.

Since Fang Xing has been given to Fang Xing in the film schedule, there is naturally no way to negotiate cooperation with other film production companies.

However, "Infernal Affairs" has not yet finalized the release schedule.

When Fang Xing went to keep an eye on the later progress for the last time, the first version of "Infernal Affairs" had already come out.

After watching it, I saw that the degree of completion was already very high, and I only needed to edit it again and adjust the duration of the film, and it was basically ready to be released.

Post-production is nearing completion, and it's time to set the schedule.

Fang Xing asked Qiao Yinghong to notify all departments of the company to hold a meeting to discuss the finalization of "Infernal Affairs".

"Today we are going to set the schedule for "Infernal Affairs", so each part will see what work is still at hand and when we can start promoting the movie."

Qiao Yinghong continued: "At present, the more suitable schedules are one for the National Day and the other for the Spring Festival. Otherwise, you will have to wait for next year's summer file, and it will be too long to wait for next year's summer file. It is best to release it on the National Day or the Spring Festival. ”

At this time.

The director of the marketing department raised his hand and said: "There is one thing to say, Mr. Liang of Nebula Animation told me last month that "Nezha: The Demon Boy Descends to the World" is considering being released in the Spring Festival or next year's summer vacation.

"So, we have two movies to be released soon, and they definitely can't be placed on the same schedule."

There are so many movie theaters, and the number of viewers who can watch movies at the same time is also fixed.

The same company, having two movies released on the same schedule at the same time, will undoubtedly affect each other's box office, which is not a good strategy.

If it's two street-hitting movies, forget it, but both movies have great box office potential, so they must be released separately.

Qiao Yinghong continued: "If this is the case, if "Infernal Affairs" is released during the Spring Festival, then "Nezha" can only be released in the summer next year. If "Nezha" wants to enter the Spring Festival file, "Infernal Affairs" has no choice, and can only enter the National Day file. ”

The director of marketing then reminded: "Do you want to think about the movies that other studios are going to release? If the competition is too fierce, you can also consider staggering the schedule. ”

The release schedule of the movie is also a science.

There are three of the most popular schedules in China.

The first is the Spring Festival, the second is the summer holiday, and the third is the National Day.

Of course, under the three major schedules, there are also May Day and New Year's Day.

However, the box office potential of these two schedules is not as great as the first three.

At this time.

Fang Xing opened his mouth and said: "We don't need to think about the films of other film companies, just do our own work." ”

The marketing director nodded and said: "If that's the case, "Nezha" can be placed in the Spring Festival file and summer file. This is a family movie, and both the Spring Festival and summer holidays are suitable for parents to take their children to watch the movie. ”

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Can "Infernal Affairs" be released in time for the National Day file?" ”

The marketing director had already done his homework before he came, and replied: "Yes, start promoting now, and it will be released in time for the National Day file." ”

Moreover, the employees of the marketing department heard that "Infernal Affairs" was going to be released on the National Day, and their enthusiasm for work was very high.

Because if "Infernal Affairs" is released on the National Day, the performance at the end of the year can calculate the results of "Infernal Affairs", and the performance bonus can be doubled.

If "Infernal Affairs" is released during the Spring Festival, it will only be able to calculate the performance next year.

Therefore, if "Infernal Affairs" is released on the National Day, all employees will have to promote it even if they are bloody.

After listening to the opinions of several departments, Fang Xing decided: "Since this is the case, then "Infernal Affairs" will be released on National Day." ”

Qiao Yinghong hurriedly asked, "Boss, don't you need to discuss it with the publisher?" ”

Fang Xing said confidently: "Directly notify Penguin Pictures to arrange the release of the National Day file, and they will definitely agree." ”

If you don't agree, Shengrong Pictures will definitely be happy to release "Infernal Affairs" on the National Day.
