"That Summer That Year".

All the filming is completed, and the post-production is in urgent production.

When filming, Ke Zhan was only excited.

My mind is full of all kinds of plots, and I have been holding back my talent, emotions, and recklessness for a long time to vent into this movie.

Even if I stay up late for several days, I don't feel tired, as if I have endless energy all over my body.

But when the movie is finished......

Ke Zhanyi's whole person began to be wrong.

After returning to Yanjing, he began to lose his spirits, lose his appetite, suffer from gains and losses for some reason, and occasionally talk to himself against the wall.

Sometimes it's encouraging yourself......

Sometimes it's a little bit discouraged.

His girlfriend Jiang Xiaoyou felt that he had a precursor to schizophrenia, and forcibly dragged him to see a psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist didn't even look at it, so he prescribed him a bottle of anti-anxiety medicine, and sent him back after prescribing it......

Anxiety......

Jiang Xiaoyou wanted to talk to Ke Zhanyi very seriously and talk about what was going on with him.

But Ke Zhanyi had an oozing smile on his face every time, constantly saying that he was fine, only saying that he suddenly stopped making movies, and he inevitably felt empty in his heart, just saying that it was good to lie down for a few days, and he didn't need to take these messy anti-anxiety drugs.

has been with Ke Zhanyi for so many years......

Jiang Xiaoyou has never seen Ke Zhanyi's mental state.

She was even more worried.

But I also know that I will definitely not be able to ask anything if I ask forcibly.

Ke Zhanyi is paranoid in some aspects, and paranoia is something engraved in his bones.

Wait until December 17th.

Jiang Xiaoyou vaguely sensed something.

The main theme film "1949" project was officially launched today......

Ke Zhanyi, who was supposed to participate in the directorship, did not wear a suit to participate in the casting event as he said a few months ago.

Instead, he kept lying in bed and slept until twelve o'clock at noon, and still didn't get up.

Jiang Xiaoyou asked a few times, for fear of delaying the time, but vaguely listened to Ke Zhanyi say something vaguely.

In the afternoon, she secretly turned on the movie channel on the TV.

The Movie Channel is broadcasting the casting of 1949.

The position where Ke was supposed to spread his wings was sat by a younger director named Xu Shaohua.

Probably......

[Starlight Future] lost in this directing dominance.

And then......

Ke Zhanyi became an embarrassing victim!

In the evening......

Ke spread his wings before he woke up quietly.

After waking up, I went to the company.

When I came back, there was a little more light in my depressed eyes.

But when he picked up the little table and ran to the balcony to drink alcohol, he began to sigh again.

Jiang Xiaoyou saw it in his eyes.

But she couldn't do anything.

She doesn't seem to have any role except for helping to cook three meals a day, taking care of Ke Zhanyi's diet and daily life to accompany her.

He wouldn't say anything to her.

In this state, wait until ten o'clock in the evening, when there is a knock at the door......

It's changed.

Zhang Sheng is here.

………………………………

"Anyway, I'm just a youth director who can't get on the stage......"

Outside the balcony.

Ke spread his wings and was drunk.

He looked at Zhang Sheng.

Eyes squinted.

When he finished filming "Midsummer That Year", he was full of confidence.

He fantasized about the popularity of the movie, fantasized about being among the first-class directors, wanted to gain a foothold on the list, and made persistent efforts to make the next main theme movie "1949" to become the focus of attention.

The main theme movie is not a commercial movie, it is basically a film to protect a book, and it is good to make money.

But some films can't be measured in terms of commerce.

Being shortlisted for the director group and participating in the directing can be regarded as an indirect acquiescence to your status in this circle, which can make you more seen by the top......

Ke Zhanyi's expectations for "1949" are extremely high, and after filming "That Summer", he devoted himself to this movie.

But......

When he returned to the company, Xu Shengnan regretfully told him that [Starlight Future] had fought for his head, but in the end he didn't fight for it.

The film-related leaders held a meeting.

At the meeting, in the final finalization of the list, Ke Zhanyi was controversial and then eliminated.

Xu Shengnan did not tell Ke Zhanyi what the controversy was, but Ke Zhanyi learned through some gossip that in the final review stage, some people think that Ke Zhanyi started making youth movies......

"1949" is an extremely serious main theme movie, if a director with a youth theme is shortlisted for the directorial team......

That......

What kind of system?

Youth Movie!

Does this thing make it on the table?

The shortlisted director group all had very opinions, and after consideration, the relevant departments finally replaced Ke Zhanyi's identity with director Xu Shaohua.

Xu Shaohua......

Ke Zhanyi checked the director's information, and suddenly became more and more silent

In addition to the graduation work and a literary and artistic freshness, this director does not have any works at all, and it is clearly a relation.

It's easy to get caught up in the picture.

Especially when I saw that the take-off was imminent, and then I was suddenly down by a stuffy stick.

This kind of taste is really uncomfortable.

Thinking of all the experiences and difficulties over the years, I have struggled for more than half a year, and I am still dangling at the starting point......

Finally, something went wrong with his mind.

Thinking that no matter how well "Midsummer That Year" was filmed, it was also an unpopular work in the eyes of those people......

No matter how powerful the box office is, can it break 100 million?

"That Summer That Year"......

The treatment in all respects is not even as good as his Virgo "Youth is in the Right Year".

The premiere of the film is scheduled for January 20.

Five days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Before the Spring Festival, it is the starting point of the battle of the dragon!

[Shengshi Entertainment] has introduced overseas films "White Shark" and "Star Lost", and local films include "Wing Chun" directed by Cui Hao......

Although [Starlight Future] has suffered a heavy blow, it also has a basic plate, among the contract movies introduced, there are "God Descends to Earth", "Robot", and local movies have "Racing" to follow Cui Hao in the ring.

As for other film and television companies......

All of them are crowded to this side, and there are three movies released with "That Summer That Year" just a few years ago!

In such a situation.

"That Summer That Year" is almost no longer competitive!

An investment of more than four million?

Allocated to the hands of "Midsummer That Year", there are only hundreds of thousands of publicity expenses.

What else is there besides the original fan base of "That Midsummer"?

In the distribution of theaters, it is also very cheating!

There are a total of 730 mainstream theaters in the country, and they only won 120 in "Midsummer That Year......

It's completely a state of more monks and less porridge!

How do they make money?

It's not that [Starlight Future] doesn't pay attention to this movie, but [Shengshi Entertainment] is taking advantage of the fact that [Starlight Future] is in a weak period, and is pressing step by step to seize all kinds of publicity positions......

"That Summer That Year"......

It can only be said that it is left to fend for itself.

During this time, the more Ke Zhanyi thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he felt more and more anxious.

Vaguely, it seems that this time the film is in the stage of failure again.

"One hundred and twenty! We only won 120 theaters, and even if the screening halls of these theaters were all full, there would only be 300,000 box office per game, and a maximum of 1.2 million a day...... But, all full, is it possible? ”

After Ke Zhanyi watched Zhang Sheng be silent, he continued to sigh and settle an account with Zhang Sheng.

The more depressed you get......

After Zhang Sheng listened, his expression became serious: "Correct, our world, one hundred and twenty-eight regions, not one hundred and twenty cinemas!" ”

After Ke Zhanyi listened to Zhang Sheng say these words that were similar to self-deception, he suddenly felt a little like laughing.

This time......

Zhang Sheng has been deceiving himself.

Say what is released worldwide, what to say about one hundred and twenty-eight regions around the world!

It's okay for friends to joke about this kind of thing, but it's ridiculous to really run out and talk nonsense.

The corners of Ke Zhanyi's mouth stiffened......

finally smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhang, this joke is not funny at all." ”

"Director Ke, I originally thought that your pattern could be bigger, but I didn't expect that Ling's pattern is still so small...... To be honest, I was disappointed! ”

After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he sighed.

"Deceiving movie fans, is the pattern big?"

"When did we fool the fans?"

"Your global release, the world, isn't it Huaxia...... Moreover, there are a total of 120 cinemas, you say 128 districts, this number is not right, where do those eight regions come from? ”

"You forget, we still have Brazil premiering, "That Summer That Year" Brazil, there are eight regions!"

"Which eight? Don't tell me, the premiere in several counties in Brazil, you're also counted, right? In my impression, we didn't expand ......," Ke Zhanyi exhaled deeply.

The bitterness on his face became more and more bitter, and he felt like Zhang Sheng was like a lying king who was going to lead him into the pit!

Don't!

He......

Is it really that stupid?

"Director Ke, so, I feel that your pattern is getting smaller and smaller, the pattern needs to be opened, our film premiered in Rio de Janeiro, the largest region in Brazil!"

"The slums of Rocinia?" When Ke Zhanyi heard this, he was about to cry.

"Rosinia, not the Rossinia slum......" Zhang Sheng corrected again: "We have eight regional open-top cinemas in the poor city of Rosinia!" Eight open-top cinemas, plus one hundred and twenty regions, isn't that one hundred and twenty-eight regions in the world? If you want the international to have the international, and if you want the region to have the region, how can you say that we are lying to them? ”

“……”

Ke Zhanyi was shocked after hearing this.

He thought that "That Midsummer" would expand to eight counties in Brazil, but he didn't expect it......

That's actually eight open-top movie theaters.

Special!

It sounds good to say that it is an open-top cinema.

To put it mildly, isn't this an open-air cinema?

"Mr. Zhang, people can't, at least not like this......" Ke Zhanyi felt that his face was about to be distorted.

"Mr. Ke, it's time to cheer up, you follow me to publicize tomorrow! You have to enlarge the pattern a little, don't be depressed all day long, go and get gold, where is the depression time? ”

"I ......"

"Okay, Sister Xiaoyou, you help Director Ke tidy up his clothes, and from tomorrow until the movie is released, I will help Director Ke open up the pattern......"
