"Isn't it just bad? You're going to embarrass me to death! ”

After Wang Wei returned to the company, Lao Wang couldn't help but slap the table and complain.

The production process of regular films in the Chinese entertainment industry is extremely rigorous, and a year is the shortest and shortest year for a film from project approval to shooting, and then to final release.

Wang Wei is different from ordinary people - even the preparation and post-production of the shooting belt, it usually takes five or six months to get a movie.

Normally, Lao Wang should have laughed off his big teeth.

Under the premise of quality assurance, the shorter the production cycle, the more conducive it is for the producer to return funds.

And when it fell on "The Silence of the Lambs", the fast gunner was still the fast gunner, but Lao Wang couldn't laugh.

"It's only been more than 40 days, and you've completed all the ...... shooting"

Lao Wang said with a toothache on his face: "I don't care about how you did it now, I only care about one thing-"

"It's the end of January now, and at the speed of Ling, even if it's late and late, by May and June, the post-production will definitely be completed, so will you choose to release it then? Or will it not be released? ”

Outsiders may think it strange at first glance, why not release the movie after the film is made?

If it is a simple commercial film, this issue really does not need to be considered; But if the goal is to win the prize, it is not difficult to understand what Lao Wang said.

- Well, although Lao Wang doesn't have much hope for the award of "The Silence of the Lambs" so far.

The Pegasus Awards' habitual discrimination against thrillers is not so easy to break, and if you don't get it right, you can't even get a few nominations.

But how to say it?

It is an exaggeration to describe it as "the lord humiliates the death of the minister", but there is still a heart of hatred for the enemy.

Although Wang Wei did not explicitly say what awards he must win, the company still formulated a winning strategy for "The Silence of the Lambs".

According to the experience of Eastern Pictures, the big winner of the Tianma Awards in recent years, the award strategy can be summarized in three parts:

The first is to grasp the release time, first release it on a small scale in the second half of the previous year to win word of mouth, and then release it on a large scale during the awards season to deepen the impression;

The second is a professional and intensive propaganda campaign, preferably with a professional PR agency;

In the end, it is to smear the opponent and hype up the stain of the competitor.

- Don't talk about the last point, the first two points must be learned.

Actually, that's what is done in general art films.

The Tianma Awards are generally held from March to April every year, so most of the award-winning films will choose to be released in December, and often use the on-demand screening mode, just to get closer to the time of the awards.

After all, even if the movies released at the beginning of the year or in the middle of the year perform well, it is difficult to say whether the judges will be impressed by the Tianma Awards at the beginning of the second year.

How can this come out with the tail of the year, and the film that is being screened in the cinema at the time of the award is more likely to be remembered by the judges?

So, this is the dilemma faced by "The Silence of the Lambs" -

If it is released in the middle of the year, it will lose at the starting line from the beginning; If it is released at the end of the year, it will be "stocked" for at least half a year.

The reason for this dilemma is that on the one hand, the experience of Dunhuang Chong Award is still insufficient, and on the other hand, Wang Wei's ...... is "fast"!

Seeing Wang Wei on the other side, who was calm as usual, Lao Wang was even more disgusted-

"You said that you, can't you learn from Song Zhicheng? The project was established almost at the same time, but he had just started filming not long ago, and it took five or six months to shoot, and the post-production took a few more months, just in time for the end of the year...... No wonder they are seeded for the Pegasus Prize. ”

Wang Wei is really calm.

He was just lamenting the coincidence of fate.

In his impression, "The Silence of the Lambs" seemed to be released at the beginning of the year because it was not favored by the producer to win the award.

But this film was probably born to break the "tradition", and finally shocked countless people's jaws and became the biggest winner of the Oscars the following year.

Of course, it is not a coincidence of fate that Wang Wei can replicate the same success in different time and space and in different backgrounds.

It's just that his confidence in this film is not in the "normal" award-winning strategy.

Therefore, there is not much difference between the mid-year release and the year-end release.

So, this guy said seriously: "You're right, I thought about it, we didn't rely on awards to eat, "The Silence of the Lambs" will be released as normal!" ”

Watt!??

Lao Wang couldn't believe his ears.

Ah, hey, your previous performance didn't say that, you want to "show the strength of the actor", and you want to "slap your face" with all your strength...... If you want to say that you don't have the intention of rushing for the prize, you are treating us all as mentally retarded.

Now that the style of painting has changed, what does it mean?

"By the way, did you do psychological counseling after the finale?" Lao Wang asked suspiciously.

"I'm not schizophrenic." Wang Wei broke through the words and continued to say seriously: "I think there is no need to make things so complicated in order to win the prize. This film didn't win the award, I have the script, and I continue to win the award. ”

Well, he didn't say a lie at all—

There is really no need to be too complicated about adding a buff; There is indeed no shortage of award-winning scripts in his mind;

As for whether the two are related......

After listening to it, Lao Wang remembered a few scripts that he had thrown out "casually" before, but he quickly believed it.

Not to mention anything else, there is no shortage of scripts in this house, so there is no need to have the slightest doubt.

He visibly regained his joy: "Thank God, you can figure it out, I finally don't have to worry!" ”

And when he thought that he didn't need to aim for the award, he immediately changed his face: "I said, don't make a movie like Song Zhicheng, the shooting cycle alone will take half a year, back and forth...... If you want to learn, learn from director Chen Deyue! ”

“……”

Can you still be sincere? That's not what you just said.

Wang Wei was amazed by this silky face-changing skill, but he was puzzled: "Director Chen Deyue? ”

"At his peak, he could operate in two lines - keep preparing one and shooting one at the same time, so that you can give full play to the advantages of your fast filming."

"But this can easily lead to a decrease in the quality of the movie." Wang Weihehe.

Lao Wang smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "That old man can do it at his peak without letting the quality of the movie deteriorate, and I believe you can do it too!" ”

“……”

If it was Shen Zhenyi, who was bright-eyed and kind, and encouraged him with this tone of "I adore you so much", Wang Wei might have fainted.

But if it was Lao Wang, Wang Wei only saw two big words in his smile - squeezing!

The average director, after filming a movie and releasing it, will take a break for half a year and a year before thinking about the next one.

So Wang Wei's one movie a year is already very prolific, but apparently Lao Wang thinks that he can make three movies in two years, or even two a year.

MMP, I live my life again, is it to stand shoulder to shoulder with the donkey of the production team?

"I'm thinking,"

Wang Wei paused, frowned slightly, and his whole tone was very world-weary and tired: "Even if I just let Dunhuang and Weibo technology develop according to the current framework, I will not interfere at all, and in a few years, it will be a force to be reckoned with in the media circle." ”

"With my current grades, I can rest on the credit book for the rest of my life and enjoy it. As the saying goes, if you don't sleep when you're young, you won't be able to sleep when you're old; If you don't enjoy it when you're young, you won't have the strength to enjoy it when you're old! ”

Lao Wang choked!

Nima, chicken soup shouldn't be like this!

Isn't it – after death there is time to rest?

Wang Wei looked like "I completely want to open it", raised his eyebrows and said: "It doesn't matter what he is awarding, what is his new film, the Spring Festival is coming, I want to give myself a long vacation, do you want to take a vacation together?" ”

Lao Wang resisted the urge to scold his mother.

You've got enough!

Dunhuang still has movies to compete for the Spring Festival, take a fart vacation!

Aren't I just imagining a bright future, are you just going to pick one?
