All the company's attention is focused on "Wulin Gaiden"...

A drama is a big hit, and the most direct impact is the second and third rounds of quotations.

CCTV was the first to come over to talk about the second round...

Originally, "Wulin Gaiden" couldn't even sell the patch ads at the end of the film, but after ten episodes, let alone patches, even the six six-minute advertisements were all full, and even to the extent of going through the relationship, they could squeeze into one end.

When they first bought the drama, the cost was not high, but now they have made a fortune with this dark horse, earning nearly 50 million.

So the leaders of the eight sets of film purchasing departments came to the door in person to negotiate the purchase of copyrights...

Gao Fenfen was hospitable, and then flatly refused...

It's okay to sell to CCTV in the first round, but buy it in the second round?

That's the case, CCTV is different from other TV stations, when he broadcasts, other TV stations are not allowed to broadcast!

The second round of offers is definitely not as good as the previous one...

Is there only one platform?

Therefore, the average TV will sell a first round at most...

Although CCTV is domineering, it is not the nineties anymore, and it can't be done by buying and selling...

Of course, in case the night is long and dreamy, the company hurriedly released the news, and the Davids, who had long been eyeing each other, suddenly heard the wind and came over to discuss.

Four David TV bought two rounds, 60,000 yuan per episode. In addition, more than a dozen local stations won the third round, 20,000 per episode, in addition to four rounds, five rounds, and overseas exports...

A total of 14 million investments, although the premiere only sold 16 million... Coupled with some public relations and dotting fees, it is basically not profitable.

But then it was exchanged for two or twenty million.

Earn over!

Then there is the actor situation - the six leading actors of "Wulin Gaiden", except for Yao Chen and Mo Xiaobei, the other four have been rounded up by the company...

Of course, it's just to help with projects or something.

At the request of Shen Xudong, Yu Entai, Yan Ni and Ni Hongjie joined the group "Life Events" and made cameo appearances as Uncle Wu, Sister Mo and Aunt Wu; Jiang Chao made a cameo appearance with Mrs. Qian in the couple in the wedding dress shop next door...

Well, "Life Events" can also be regarded as a gathering of stars!

"Life Events" is Han Yan's first time directing, the work of Kanjing is over, the art is set or something, Shen Xudong has to follow...

The company is busy promoting "Wulin Gaiden", and Shen Xudong himself is busy with the casting of "Life Events"...

How can you have the energy to care about what "Wuji"...

"Life Events" was filmed in Wuhan...

Wuhan is a city that takes into account the sense of the times and the times, and the lens quality is extremely high, in addition to the fashionable and glamorous side, it also has a human touch and a sense of the rivers and lakes.

In fact, Chongqing is also...

Relatively speaking, Chongqing has a strong three-dimensional sense of the city, and Wuhan has more sense of age and texture.

In addition, Han Yan chose Wuhan for the first stop, and then he liked it!

So, it's Wuhan!

Of course, the fact that the film and television company in Wuhan is happy to help is also the reason for choosing Wuhan - location selection and shooting, called outreach, without the help of local head snakes, you will be very difficult...

……

Shen Xudong no longer writes articles related to "Wuji", and "Wulin Gaiden" is popular, it seems that "Wuji" is not very popular?

Thinking too much, with the fermentation of "Steamed Bun", "Wuji"... has almost become a laughing stock, and the theater chain has lowered the film schedule - there was originally about 20%, but now there is less than 10% left!

The propaganda team returns to BJ.

At this time, it was January 11th, and "Wuji" was released for 27 days, close to the next release, with a box office of more than 156 million, surpassing "Witnessed by the Whole People", temporarily ranking first in the year.

However, compared to the cost of $35 million, this box office is a drop in the bucket.

In fact, about "Steamed Buns", Producer Chen has already responded: The producer of "Wuji" does not object to netizens expressing their opinions related to "Wuji" on the Internet. On the Internet, everyone can express their personal opinions. This short video is just the personal behavior of a netizen, after all, the Internet is a diverse world...

But the reporters were more concerned about Director Chen's thoughts, so a group of people surrounded him: "What do you think of "Steamed Buns"? ”

"I have filed a lawsuit in court, and I will definitely sue to the end! One cannot be shameless to this extent! ”

Producer Chen added: "This is beyond the scope of normal comments, not only hurting the director, but also all the people who have worked hard for "Wuji"!" ”

'No one can be shameless to this point!' ’

Well, the breaking point is coming!

You thought it was over?

After thinking too much, the reporter asked again: "I heard that "Wu Ji" was returned by Weinstein Pictures, and it affected the export of Chinese costume blockbusters, is this so?" ”

Chen Dadao's face darkened and he shook his head: "This is nonsense, there is no such thing, "Wuji" has sold the distribution rights in North America, and the North American and German markets will be distributed by Warner, and the publicity in Europe and the United States is also good." ”

Chen added: "We are not being returned, what happened before was caused by some financial problems at Harvey Brothers. It has nothing to do with the quality of the film itself! ”

Well?

Isn't it not returned?

You're... Is this a matter of solidity?

The reporter then asked: "But Zhang Weiping said it, because of "Wuji", "The City Full of Golden Armor" and the overseas copyright of "Night Banquet"..."

"That's their business..."

……

Well, Zhang Weiping also jumped out, when he was promoting "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", he mentioned the filming of "The City is Full of Golden Armor"...

Mainly because the reporter asked about overseas copyrights, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but complain: "In the past, "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" were all about business after the filmmakers watched the film. And "Wu Ji" made Weinstein Pictures lose the deposit after returning the goods, this circle is very small, and the entire Hollywood studios know about it, which makes people feel that the films of Chinese directors are a little unreliable.

Our partner, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang, is in charge of overseas distribution, and now he is very distressed, and it is extremely difficult to break the impasse in the overseas market of Chinese films because of "Wu Ji"...

Now, we can only go to the set of 'Golden A' to watch the filming of the eight major American companies... The director was very reluctant to show the filming process to others, but for the sake of the market, he agreed... I'm so sorry for the director! ”

"Boundless" was returned?

The journalist is decisively interested ...

Zhang Wei said: "Last October, I went to the Hawaii Film Festival with Yi to promote "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", and by the way received a lifetime achievement award, Harvey came to us and said that after watching "Wu Ji", he found that the film was shoddy and decided to return it.

At that time, there were still two months before the release of "Wuji", which was the most critical time in the publicity period, if I missed a sentence and let the reporters of more than 20 media know, would "Wuji" still be released? After all, Director Chen represents Chinese directors, and he still has to maintain the image of domestic films in front of foreigners, and I don't want people to laugh at us. ’

Not only Zhang Weiping spoke, but Huayi's Huang Zhong also said: "It does have an impact, the channels for Chinese films to enter the international mainstream market every year are limited, because the situation of "Wu Ji" is not very good, which has led to the purchase of Chinese films by overseas filmmakers now slower and more cautious." If "Wu Ji" sells well, it will bring us a lot of convenience, such as public relations and promotion, it will be much simpler..."

Well, the "Steamed Bun" storm is still on the boom, and the return incident broke out again...
