Yannian Film and Television is very big.
They never expected that Jia Long and Lu Yanhe would have such big opinions against them because of this incident.
However, if "Beetle Project" is a movie with a box office of 4 billion, if its sequel is compared with "Journey to the Road", everyone will choose it this way.
Of course, when they came into contact with "The Lost Road", Lu Yanhe and Jia Long's request was that it should be released during the Spring Festival.
From a rational point of view, it is indeed their fault of Yannian Film and Television.
"We did not compromise at all in the promotion of "Embarrassed"." People from Yannian Film and Television said, "Even if there is a blockbuster like "City Raiders", we have tried our best to ensure that "Embarrassed" has a good reputation." The film schedule of "The Road" is not bad in all aspects, and tens of millions of promotional funds have been invested in it. It is true that we did not communicate well about the Spring Festival release, but we can make up for it. Promise, the sequel of "Embarrassed" will be released during the Spring Festival. How about it? "Jia Long is very disgusted, and it's really a pity that "On the Road" has such a good reputation, but it was not placed in the most suitable schedule, and it lost hundreds of millions in box office for nothing. This can all be calculated.
Yannian Film and Television said: "We are actually also responsible for "The Journey". If you want to say that "The Journey" will be released during the Spring Festival, we can also do it. But to be honest, a four-part movie The sequel to a billion-dollar box office movie, a non-mainstream movie that the industry was not very optimistic about before its release. Comedy, these two movies will be put on the Spring Festival schedule at the same time. If it were you, who would you give your resources to first? I can fulfill my promise, but "Journey to the Road" is unlikely to get many films. How many days will you support in the cinema? "
Jia Long was silent.
Because what Yannian Film and Television said makes sense.
Yannian Film and Television said: "We have already collaborated on the first part of the sequel to "The Man on the Road", and we will definitely do a good job."
Jia Long said: "We will discuss this after our script is released. ."
"Jia Long, you You know, we were the only ones among all the companies that questioned whether your film could be successful, and we were the only ones who chose to believe you and agreed to your decision, which actually did not meet the market conditions.”
This is also true of Jia Longwu. A place to talk.
No one doubts that "Journey on the Road" will not sell at the box office. However, at that time, everyone generally estimated the box office of "Journey on the Road" to be between 200 and 300 million. In this case, Jia Long demanded that the production budget should not be less than 80 million. At the same time, both Lu Yanhe and he would enjoy a share of the movie theater box office. The other copyrights could not be taken into his own hands. They belonged to Lu Yanhe. In this case, the film company It was generally believed that this movie was not profitable and no one accepted it.
Yannian Film and Television is indeed bold.
Of course, the current box office results of Six and Seven are enough for Yannian Film and Television to make a lot of money. Its stock price has been rising for some time as a result.
The benefits a successful film brings to a film company are not just the box office feedback from theaters.
Jia Long went to have a serious chat with Lu Yanhe about the development of the second season of "The Lost Journey".
Lu Yanhe said: "Teacher Jia, I basically have a prototype of the sequel story, but I really don’t plan to write Awkward Journey with the Spring Festival Transport as the background. I want to change the place, characters and story background. It’s all new, just in the mold of a road comedy.”
Jia Long nodded.
Lu Yanhe: "I want to make the sequel story a little crazier."
"Crazier?" Jia Long was a little surprised and didn't quite understand what Lu Yanhe meant.
"Go abroad, to Thailand." Lu Yanhe said, "Take pictures of what happened during your trip to Thailand."
Jia Long was a little confused.
"Moreover, this movie is also a pure comedy. I don't want to add anything educational or entertaining to it. I just want everyone to be happy and laugh, so that when everyone watches the movie, there will be surprises everywhere." Lu Yanhe Said, "Similar to the first film "On the Road", we create a scene where celebrity artists can appear at any time to surprise the audience."
Jia Long suddenly understood.
“Are you worried that I won’t accept a pure comedy?”
Lu Yanhe said: “Well, because the sequel story I conceived may be a little more exaggerated than the first one. "
Jia Long: "Yan He, to be honest, I definitely believe the script you wrote. I just want to ask a question. How will the theme of this movie and the role I play affect me? Is there a very negative impact? ”
"Absolutely not." Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head, "How is that possible."
"That's OK." Jia Long nodded with a smile.
-
The sequel to "The Lost Journey" has swept the entire industry.
The box office performance of this movie has fully demonstrated the box office potential of its sequel.
Wang Dashan, a newcomer who just graduated, became famous in this movie. No matter how loud the doubts are, it is an indisputable fact that his fans are increasing day by day.
What about the second part?
Are there any new characters in the second part?
If you can join the sequel of this movie, it is almost foreseeable that your status will soar.
Lu Yanhe didn't want to be disturbed by receiving a phone call from time to time, so he simply turned off his phone.
"You have learned to turn off your phone now!" Chen Siqi was surprised. "You didn't dare to turn off your phone casually before."
Lu Yanhe said: "The main reason is that there are too many people calling now. If you don't turn off your phone, If you do, you basically don’t have to stop for the day.”
Chen Siqi: “In the past, even if you didn’t stop for the day, you wouldn’t. I will turn off the phone because I am afraid of missing important calls.”
Lu Yanhe: “Now I feel that the most important thing is me. They are calling me one after another. I am so annoyed that I can’t even say I am annoyed. I just don’t. Take it.”
Chen Siqi nodded with satisfaction and said, “That’s right for you to have such an awareness.”
What Chen Siqi was most dissatisfied with before was that Lu Yanhe had too high demands on himself. A person who demands too much of himself will always suffer a lot of unnecessary losses. Unfortunately, these losses are self-inflicted.
After filming the summer part of the movie "Love Letter", Lu Yanhe's mood can be described as relieved.
No exaggeration at all.
As a first-time director, he has been experiencing all kinds of anxiety and uneasiness since before filming this movie. It was precisely because of these anxieties and uneasiness that his stress index exploded before. In fact, it was only when Xia Tian was finished that Lu Yanhe felt his subconscious relief.
Because without anxiety, there would be no relief.
Chen Siqi asked: "As for the summer part, are you going to cut it before shooting in winter?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "Because we originally wanted to release it in time for Valentine's Day next year. , although I don’t know if it will be in time, if it is not in time, then the release will have to be postponed. In my mind, the schedule selection of this movie is also very important and must be done. If you want to find a time when everyone is willing to sit quietly in the cinema and watch such a story, at least the summer time slot is very inappropriate. "
Chen Siqi thought thoughtfully, "Then wait until the end of next year and release it during the New Year's Eve period. What do you think?"
That is also winter time. However, since the New Year's Eve period only has a three-day holiday on New Year's Day, most blockbusters will not choose this period, because the box office potential of this period is far lower than that of other major periods.
This also means that the competitive pressure faced by "Love Letter" is actually much smaller.
Lu Yanhe said: "It sounds quite suitable now."
Chen Siqi said: "Many movies focus on being in popular schedules, but based on my observations over the past year, I I don’t think it’s a big time It is suitable for all movies. Many movies are not suitable for release in such popular schedules, such as "Rouge" and your "Love Letter". I think this is the case for you to choose "Rouge". "Buckle" give up the summer schedule and other big schedules , to be released in an unpopular Mid-Autumn Festival period is quite unexpected for many people, and many people came to ask me why I did this.”
In the eyes of many people, "Rouge Button". ” is directed by the international great director Wang Zhong, and It stars a top actress like Chen Bige and a popular actor like Huang Kairen, and won the Audience Choice Award at the Hollywood Film Festival. Lu Yanhe also serves as the screenwriter. With this kind of cast and this level, it is perfect. Blockbusters are aimed at high box office.
No matter what the film studio says, this movie is actually a literary film with low box office goals. However, many people always turn a deaf ear to it and think that this is based on their simple and crude understanding of the movie. If a movie's box office doesn't reach the numbers they want, it's a flop and a loss.
So, "Rouge Button" will be released in the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Why?
This is a question in many people's minds.
In particular, didn’t “Rouge Button” win international awards?
This alone is enough for the movie to sell well - in the eyes of many people, this is what they think.
-
Li Zhenzhen, who knew that Lu Yanhe’s movie had been filmed, contacted him immediately.
"We will be recording the fourth season of "Young Days" soon. You said you wanted to make a movie before, but you were worried about time conflicts, so you couldn't come. Can you come now?" Li Zhenzhen asked.
Lu Yanhe did not expect that Li Zhenzhen would miss him so persistently.
In fact, without him in the last season of "Young Days", the broadcast results were still very good, and the business cooperation was not low. Every time the episode was released, the Internet became a hot topic.
For a variety show that has reached its fourth season, even if he is missing, it will not have much impact.
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Zhenzhen, the filming plan for this season of our show has been decided, right? Wouldn't it be bad if I rashly join in at this time?"
Li Zhenzhen said : "We are willing to work overtime to revise the plan for you. You are a key figure in our program from the beginning. We have too many fans of your program. Well, as a producer, I also hope that our show can continue with the original cast. I am not just talking casually. Do you remember what I said when I told you that I was going to do this show? I want to create a real observation sample of cohabitation life.”
Lu Yanhe did not expect that Li Zhenzhen would take her original goal so seriously.
“Also, I don’t want our relationship to be affected by what my father has done.” Li Zhenzhen said, “Yan He, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t participate in the recording of the entire season. , as long as you have time, you can participate in a few episodes. If Yan Liang is filming this season, he can only participate in half of the recordings. I hope that even if you can't be there for every episode, you can be there forever."
< br>
Lu Yanhe sighed deeply.
Because he was helpless to find that he was actually moved by Li Zhenzhen's words.
Speaking of which, Lu Yanhe has participated in very few programs, and the only one that actually serves as a permanent guest is "Young Days".
The friends he met on this show also became his true friends.
Some relationships are more intimate, and some have less personal contact, but they are all very good relationships.
Lu Yanhe was reluctant to let go of these friends.
At this time, Li Zhenzhen threw another heavy weight.
“This season, we are also inviting the members of the "Six" crew to record together in the first episode. If you can come and participate, the "Six" crew can be reunited in the same frame."
< br>-
“Are you going to record several episodes of “Young Days”?”
Chen Ziyan did not expect that Lu Yanhe had just finished filming "Love Letter" and was preparing to go to another job.
"As I said before, your stress has increased because of too much work. Why don't you take a break?"
"Rest." Lu Yanhe said, "This is not a recording Next week? Another one, my main problem was that there was too much work going on at the same time. The "Love Letter" phase is over, and I can take on other work."
Chen Ziyan: "How many episodes do you plan to record?"
Lu Yanhe said: "If there is nothing else. Just go and enroll as much as you can according to your work arrangements. I won’t have any classes next semester.”
Next semester, Lu Yanhe will be a senior.
The only big thing left is the graduation thesis.
Chen Ziyan thought about it in her mind and realized that Lu Yanhe really had no other work arrangements in August, so it would be good to record "Young Days".
-
At this time, the "Accumulation Project" has also received some works one after another.
Chen Siqi led his team and people from Northern Lights Video to start reviewing and screening submitted works.
The large number of works they received seemed to be the kind of short films they shot with their mobile phones, and they hired a few of their friends to act out the storyline, which was very rough.
Everyone who watched the Northern Lights Video was incredible. It was obviously a competition for a serious young director, but why did so many weird people submit submissions? Some even filmed videos on the bed... What are they thinking? Do they think that such a video can pass the review and be released on Northern Lights Video?
Because Lu Yanhe agreed to record this season of "Young Days", Li Zhenzhen also led the team to revise the plan for the first episode.
Since Lu Yanhe has returned, the planning of the first phase must also highlight the importance of Lu Yanhe.
The original creativity can be saved for later. If Lu Yanhe's return is not highlighted separately in the show, Li Zhenzhen will feel sorry for Lu Yanhe's cheerfulness.
Li Zhenzhen thought about it a lot and wanted to reciprocate the favor. He planned to have all the guests become auditors in the "Accumulation Plan" in the first episode. This is in line with the "Young Days" program where the guests work to earn a living. The long-term theme of conditions can also help promote the "Accumulation Plan" in the program.
As a result, the producer and broadcaster of the program "Young Days", Bingyuan Video, sternly denied it.
Are you kidding me, promoting something from another video platform in a program broadcast by Icefield Video?
Not even if you are Lu Yanhe.
Li Zhenzhen also knew that his idea was a bit abrupt and radical, so he could only think of other plans.
Then, I thought of using the movie "Rouge Button" as an important clue for the first phase of planning to help promote Lu Yanhe's new play.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is next month, and it’s not too early.
After Lu Yanhe got the plan, he took a look at it and immediately sent a message to Li Zhenzhen: Sister Zhenzhen, let’s just plan the program as normal. There is no need to think of ways to help me with publicity. "Rouge Button" appears in it. It's also weird and abrupt. (End of this chapter)
