Chapter 302 Official announcement of withdrawal! After everything is done, leave behind, hiding your merits and fame
Because the road show of "Dream Builders" on August 1st brought a very good publicity effect, the entire network's attention to this drama is getting higher and higher day by day. .
Not only Daye Cinema, but other theaters also immediately started a meeting to discuss whether to increase the schedule of this drama based on the good reputation of this drama on the Internet.
But it is very difficult to take a bite of meat from a giant crocodile that has already signed a good contract.
All films regard summer traffic as their own.
For a film to be released in the summer, the network behind it is not as simple as it seems.
For example, there is a literary film in August. From the perspective of investment, casting and director, it seems to be the weakest, but in fact it is very strong.
The producer behind this film is a well-known star in the industry. This star has a strong influence in the business and entertainment circles.
So even if the theater wants to adjust the schedule of "Dream Builder", it will never touch the cake of this film.
Some of them appear to be very famous on the Internet. For example, the production team is very strong and the actors used are all top-notch commercial films.
But because the relationship network behind it is very ordinary, it can be manipulated by the cinema and manipulate the schedule.
If the public wants to know which film has a strong relationship behind it, they only need to go through the box office and check the schedule.
There are some films that have average box office and are far from the top five, but their schedules can get treatment comparable to the top three.
There is no doubt that the relationship is very strong.
The film and television industry is a society that pays great attention to human relationships. It is difficult to succeed purely by relying on talent.
But if you can be reckless, you don't have to worry about the future. After all, if you can stand out surrounded by such a network of connections, you will definitely be a big hit.
In Daye Cinema.
After some discussion, Liu Chang finally overcame all opinions and gave "Dream Builder" a schedule of 5 shows a day.
With this kind of treatment, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the biological son of the cinema.
Don’t watch five games. Before the film is released, the bet is on expectations.
Daye Cinema can also arrange five shows a day, which is already very promising.
Only for these five shows, we deliberately compressed the schedule of six shows for a film, changed the six shows into five shows, moved one of them to "Dream Builder", and then moved it from a niche and unpopular theater I squeezed out one show for "Dream Builder" and finally got five shows a day.
After scheduling five shows a day, Liu Chang sat alone in his office, looking at the promotional poster for "Dream Builders" and muttering to himself:
"You have to give I'm trying to be more ambitious. This time I'm betting on my whole year's bonus. If it doesn't do well at the box office, I'll have to lose all the money I made from "No One Survived"."
"Building" The promotional poster for "Dreamers" adopts the group portrait mode.
Every scientist in it appears on the poster, and they all look the same, but because Jinli is the female lead, her figure will be slightly enlarged.
Liu Chang suddenly discovered that this poster was very similar to the poster of "No Survival".
The poster of "No Survival" also adopts the group image mode, and everyone does not distinguish between each other.
However, in "Dream Builder", Jinli deserved the lead, but in "No Survival", she was at best equal to the other leading actors.
Liu Chang muttered again: "Everyone says you are very lucky. If you star in this film, you should be good at it. Let's inherit your good luck..."
As the Daye Cinema discussion concluded, other well-known cinemas also concluded their meetings.
But the results of these theater discussions are not ideal.
In their analysis, the current surge in popularity of "Dream Builders" on the Internet is all due to the novel and unique format of "using drama as a road show".
No movie has ever done this.
Netizens were curious for a moment, so they all called to go and watch.
However, this kind of curiosity is like a gust of wind, it will be blown away soon after it blows, and it will not last long.
“Let’s maintain the schedule of three shows a day. If this drama really gets a good reputation and does well at the box office, it won’t be too late to make adjustments later.”
“I also prefer one day. Three rehearsals."
"What's there to discuss? Zhong Wentai will film it. The dramas he filmed have always been well-received and have a good reputation, but not as many people went to see them as expected.
With three shows scheduled in one day, I would have thought that I was overestimating him. To put pressure on national-level projects, I will give him two games a day at most
The reason why we can give him two shows is because he is an international director! ”
——What the person in charge of Shenglong Cinema said during the meeting somehow reached Zhong Wentai’s ears.
Director Zhong belongs to a group of people in the entertainment industry who have little information. .
Often wait until he knows this. Others who are well-informed have already known about this news, and it has been passed around once or twice.
The first time Sui Lingfang learned the news, she specifically called Jinli, who was still on the road show. Ask her what Director Zhong thinks.
Jinli took a break from her busy schedule to peel an orange and eat it to replenish her daily vitamin C.
"I have no idea. Director Zhong doesn't know about this."
Sui Lingfang nodded imperceptibly: "It's okay not to know, so as not to affect your mentality. Although for a big guy like him, As far as the director is concerned, mere rumors can’t hurt him.”
It’s just that Sui Lingfang is a little worried.
These news from the film industry are sometimes true and sometimes false, but they all vaguely represent an attitude.
The words of Duan Yucai (the person in charge of Shenglong Cinema) were so widely spread that no one jumped out to express disapproval of his view.
It can be seen that the film industry is probably not very confident in the box office of "Dream Builder".
If a small-budget literary and unpopular drama like "No One Survived" can earn more than 500 million at the box office, everyone will think it is very powerful.
Because the ceiling for this kind of film is right there, and there are very few people watching it, let alone a box office?
"No One Survived" has become an "unpopular miracle" in the film industry where the overall box office this year has not been ideal.
But when it comes to "Dream Builders", it is also a literary film, but the box office of more than 500 million is definitely not enough. No matter what, it has to get more than 1 billion to not be a hit.
With Director Zhong’s name, 1 billion is a bit embarrassing, so it must be around 1.5 billion.
Sui Lingfang expressed her worries.
While she was talking, Jinli peeled another small orange.
After listening, she took into account Director Zhong’s recent focus on this drama and his ambitions that he had revealed many times in front of them as actors, and she couldn’t help but said sincerely:
"Fortunately, Director Zhong didn't know about this, otherwise he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath."
Sui Lingfang: "Huh?"
Why is it different from what she imagined?
Jinli said: "Sister Fang, Director Zhong values this drama very much, even more than the ones he has made in the past. I'm afraid he won't tolerate others slandering this movie. Just wait. Let’s see.”
After Sui Lingfang hung up the phone, she was wondering what Director Zhong would do.
A crazy thought suddenly flashed through her mind: There's no way he could have a fight with Duan Yucai, right?
Facts have proved that Zhong Wentai is really that crazy. The road show promotion method in the form of a drama has gained a good reputation and traffic on the Internet, breaking away from the curse of "applause but no success" in the past.
In the past two days, Director Zhong has experienced the peak of traffic, which feels really good.
He can finally understand why some old friends have switched to making commercial films. Being favored by traffic is indeed inflated!
His previous dramas are famous internationally, but only a small number of people know about them.
This time "Dream Builder" is very powerful in terms of publicity. It is so powerful that Director Zhong feels like he has "achieved a king's career".
As a result, at this time, someone whose name he couldn’t remember, namely Duan, jumped out and said that his film was not a good hit and had a miserable box office. If it were not for the support of national-level projects, three movies a day would I don’t want to give it anywhere.
Bah!
What is he?
He is also worthy of commenting on the drama he filmed.
Director Chung Wen-tai was completely inspired to have a rebellious mentality. In the past, he had accepted the movies he made, but obviously "Dream Builder" can achieve different results.
Everyone who stands in his way is his enemy.
So at eight o'clock in the evening on August 2, Zhong Wentai, who had just learned about Duan Yucai's remarks less than two hours ago, resolutely made a decision.
Zhong Wentai: [In view of the rumors and turmoil circulating in the industry, here is my response:
Since Shenglong Cinema is not optimistic about the drama "Dream Builders" and you feel aggrieved by watching this drama, then you might as well not join it!
There is no need to talk about whether there is national support or not. When there was no support, I would never buy or sell by force. With support again, I would not buy or sell by force.
From now on, we will terminate the cooperation contract with @生龙cinema. Since you don’t like it, just stop broadcasting it. I will quickly move seats for the films you like! 】
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Director Chung Wen-tai’s speech on his blog instantly became the top trending topic.
Duan Yucai's comments in the industry did not spread widely and were posted on the Internet.
But after being exposed by Zhong Wentai, under the wishes of the vast number of netizens, many public accounts and media accounts that knew the inside story suddenly appeared, and they took videos one after another, telling the story of Shenglong Cinema and director Zhong Wentai. This dispute.
“It is reported that because of the good reputation of the Dream Builders roadshow and the increasing popularity on the Internet, on August 1st, a number of cinemas hurriedly held a meeting to discuss whether to set more schedules for this film... ”
“Here comes the point, babies, here Let’s remember one key point: “Dream Builders” was temporarily scheduled for the summer season in August.
There had been no action on this film before because it hadn’t passed the review yet, but it has just passed the review. As soon as the release number is released, we are eager to release it.”
"Shenglong Cinema is very not optimistic about the prospects of "Dream Builders". According to insiders, they also held an internal meeting today. Duan Yucai still criticized "Dream Builders" and said several times that if it were not for the support of the state, it would definitely not be possible. Schedule three games..."
I really know some insider media accounts, so I deliberately put a reversal at the end of the revelation.
“In fact, some movie theaters in the industry are still very optimistic about this drama, and they have decided to schedule 5 shows a day against all opinions. I will not disclose the details.”
I won’t disclose it. But I still took out a piece of white paper and wrote the two-letter abbreviation with a thick black pen-DY!
Media accounts that did not know the inside story did not miss the controversy and said in a fair and impartial tone:
"It's not that Shenglong Cinema's concerns are incomprehensible, but since three shows have been scheduled, let's not complain. It's very green tea.
I can also understand director Zhong Wentai. I'm optimistic about this. He was very angry that his video was so ignored by others.
But he still went too far. I was impulsive. After all, Shenglong is one of the five well-known theater chains in the country. Even if he is a big director, he will not get any good results if he offends the theater.
The above is my opinion. What do you think? Come on. Click on the little red heart to write down your discussion.”
……
Sui Lingfang was caught off guard by Director Zhong's sudden outburst.
She only had one thought in her mind: Jinli was actually a prophet, right? !
But this incident was just a quarrel between the director and the theater. Strictly speaking, it had no impact on the actors. Sister Fang quickly calmed down.
She specifically called Jinli and asked her, "How is the situation over there?"
Jinli glanced at Director Zhong who was drinking tea leisurely in the lounge. It's better not to tell the real situation and ask: "How is the situation over there?"
Sui Lingfang laughed: "Chenxi Entertainment did not participate in the investment of "Dream Builder", and your position does not represent the director's position. No one called me to ask me, where are you?"
Jinli's words were concise and to the point. : "It's okay."
Sui Lingfang felt relieved: "Is there anything you need my help with? Yes, call me quickly. If I couldn't leave, I would have rushed here in person."
Jinli smiled and said, "No, I'm just participating in the road show. Xiaoqin asked me. You're well taken care of."
She hung up the phone, walked to the opposite side of the clock table, and drank a cup of tea first.
Well, it tastes pretty good.
Jinli was a little regretful. It was a pity that he couldn't drink too much at night, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
After finishing the drink, she asked leisurely: "Director Zhong, do you really want to quarrel with Shenglong Cinema?"
Zhong Wentai raised his head and glanced at her, "I don't even know what to ask. Posted on the blog."
Jinli straightened her expression and said, "You are not such an impulsive person."
Zhong Wentai was about to answer when suddenly his cell phone rang. It was a call from Shenglong Cinema.
He hung up without thinking.
The other end of the line was also very persistent. After being hung up on, he continued to dial again. Zhong Wentai hung up again as if it was a joke.
That’s right, I’m just now practicing as a rhythm master.
When the person on the other end of the phone stopped calling, Zhong Wentai said confidently:
"Let me ask you, where is "Dream Builder" in hot searches and real-time popularity rankings, how many self-media accounts are participating in the discussion, and how are the box office pre-sales?"
This series of questions came down, Jinli's expression quickly changed.
She reacted and asked: "So director, did you do this on purpose?"
Tsk, the old ones are still hotter!
Axing a cinema that is unwilling to cooperate will gain continued attention from the entire network!
How come you can become a great international director?
When I was making literary films before, I didn’t bother to play with this method.
But if you really want to stir up public opinion, you have nothing to fear!
Director Zhong Wentai lightly brushed the non-existent dust on his shoulders and said calmly: "Don't make random guesses, I didn't say anything."
Jinli raised her eyebrows at him Thumbs up, "Yes, you didn't say anything, hiding your merit and fame."
She must learn more from these old foxes.
Director Zhong: I am talking about being a teenager, holding the yellow on the left and the green on the right! How dare you, a yellow-mouthed kid, despise your grandpa! If I don’t pinch you hard, I won’t believe it!
