Chapter 442: Playing hooligans openly
Tim called Li Chen and asked if "Inception" could be released simultaneously in China and the United States.
North America has been scheduled for July 16th, and the finished film of "Inception" has been submitted to the General Administration for Review.
Because it is a co-production, there is no such thing as circumventing the protection period for domestic films.
And the Protection Month is also from June 10th to July 10th.
This year, all colleges and universities will have summer holidays starting from July 10th.
Of course the benefits will be maximized if it can be released simultaneously.
Only "Passengers" has to be moved to the premise.
Li Chen called Han Sanping, and Han Sanping naturally didn't say anything.
Just a righteous and official statement: ""Passengers" is also a domestic film, and it is the domestic film with the highest investment in China."
"No one can gossip when entering the domestic film protection month."
Look, this is the official word.
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen sighed to himself why he couldn't find such a high-sounding reason.
"What? "Passengers" has been released? June 10th?"
Wang Zhonglei was immediately overjoyed when he heard the news.
Although Li Chen didn't say it explicitly before, it is already a tacit fact that "Passengers" has entered the summer season.
Now I suddenly heard that "Passengers" took the initiative to give way to Huayi's "Earthquake" which will be released nationwide on July 22.
Wang Zhonglei was so happy that he really wanted to hold Li Chen for a while.
But soon, Wang Zhonglei's expression changed.
Sina Entertainment News
"A few days ago, some netizens broke the news on Sina Weibo that the new film "Inception" is written by Li Chen, directed by Christopher Nolan, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Liu Yifei, Marion Gloria, Wang Zhiwen, and Deng Chao. "Space" has been reviewed by the General Administration and will be released simultaneously around the world on July 16th."
" Sina Entertainment immediately sought confirmation from Rongchen Pictures, and Rongchen Pictures' publicity director Yu Miao confirmed that "Inception" has indeed been submitted for review. "
"The scheduled release date will not be confirmed until the General Administration passes the review."
Wang Zhonglei was dumbfounded. He was thinking about Li Chen two days ago, but today he yelled at Li Chen.
"He's playing hooligan!" Li Chen is probably the only one who can make Wang Zhonglei lose his grace and scold someone with distorted features.
"The actor in "Inception" is wearing pants from a co-production, but he is actually the size of an imported blockbuster movie!"
"Li Chen, this bastard, is so unruly!"
Wang Zhong is so angry A little out of control.
Originally competing with "Passengers", "Earthquake" suffered greatly in terms of cost and production.
As a result, the father of "Passengers" came and made "Inception" with 160 million US dollars!
Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang both had dark faces.
Wang Zhongjun is considering whether to postpone or raise the schedule.
Feng Xiaogang was thinking that Zhang Weiping was an idiot for riding a horse.
Who is the mountain eagle?
Li Chen is a mountain eagle.
"Loyal base, loyal king, I am confident that anyone I encounter in "The Great Earthquake" can fight."
"Xiaogang is right, Li Chen may have forgotten that this is in China!"< br>
"Zhonglei, call our 'partners' and inform them of this matter." Wang Zhongjun smiled like an old fox.
Before Feng Xiaogang could react, Wang Zhonglei had already understood what his brother meant.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
"Best brother!" The two brothers raised their lips at the same time, and Feng Xiaogang also smiled belatedly.
This is going to require administrative measures.
As the General Administration passed the review of "Inception".
Chi You and China Film also released the poster and trailer of "Inception".
""Inception" released a Chinese poster, the intertwining of reality and reality in the dream is horrifying."
"In the poster, the leading actors in the film are arranged in a staggered line on a twisting street, which indicates that this "contemporary science fiction film that takes place within the structure of consciousness" will soon make people experience a surprising dream that seems like reality.
" The poster and trailer of "Inception" immediately became a hot topic on Weibo. "Wang Zhiwen is acting like a true character when he plays the big boss. Guo Xiaopeng is online."
"Liu Yifei finally got rid of it. He has a fairy-like temperament, a bit like a college student. ”
“Deng Chao’s slicked-back hair is quite handsome except for his face, which is almost the same as Leon’s, but the rest is evenly divided hahaha.”
"Is it going to be released at the same time? I don't want to watch a pirated version."
China Film has not announced the release date for a long time, making netizens impatient.
Ren Zhonglun came to visit the class, which surprised Li Chen.
Yu Miao has already reported to him that the schedule of "Inception" is a bit troublesome.
Han Sanping didn’t tell him clearly on the phone, only that Ren Zhonglun would talk to him in person.
"Director Ren, what's going on? Because of "The Great Earthquake"?"
Li Chen is very clear. With China Film and Shanghai Film, there is still an uncertain schedule?
What’s more, the schedule of a movie is determined independently by the producer.
Ren Zhonglun blushed. In "Inception", Li Chen brought China Film and Shanghai Film to work. It was obviously a good thing to make money together and take everyone with him.
In the end, he and Han Sanping still couldn't accomplish this little thing.
"Li Chen, there are some things that you are not within the system. It is difficult to understand the difficulties of Sanping and I."
"TS TV station invested 60 million in this drama."
Ren Zhonglun Didn't finish the sentence.
He believed that Li Chen must understand the meaning of this sentence.
Li Chen naturally understood that in addition to Huayi, the producers of "Earthquake" were also China Film and TS Television.
China Film only invested 6 million, not even 10%.
The largest investor is 60 million from TS TV station. It is self-evident who is behind TS TV station.
Now he suddenly realized.
No wonder the box office of "Shocking" was ridiculously low for both earthquake movies.
The box office of "Earthquake" was frighteningly high.
He had never seen this movie back then, but he was still curious about it after many years.
Even with Feng Xiaogang’s signature, could a domestic disaster movie earn a box office of 670 million?
Why did Feng Xiaogang so confidently shout the slogan of 500 million box office?
That’s it
Li Chen looked sarcastic: “Are you looking for Zheng Fu to support you?”
"TMD, are you trying to fool me by being an upright and hooligan?"
Li Chen couldn't help but curse.
"Sanping was afraid that you wouldn't be able to figure it out, so he called me specifically to ask me to do your work."
Li Chen suppressed his anger, calmed down, and blamed Han Sanping and Ren in front of him. He can't blame Tadawa.
"Then what should you say now?" Li Chen regained his composure, which made Ren Zhonglun secretly cheer in his heart.
He was impressed by how young people knew how to control anger and compromise. No wonder Li Chen had a good career at such a young age.
It’s just that this time Ren Zhonglun thought too much, and Li Chen did know how to control his anger.
But compromise? That was a lifetime ago
"It can be released after August 10th." Ren Zhonglun said concisely and to the point.
Li Chen cursed in his heart for being shameless. This was simply to enjoy the golden period of the summer season to himself.
"I know, I'm really sorry that I bothered Mr. Ren to go there in person." Li Chen chuckled.
"That's right. Sanping and I just feel sorry for each other."
"Then look, when is the schedule scheduled?"
"I'll think about it, Director Ren , I will reply to you as soon as possible.”
After seeing off Ren Zhonglun, Li Chen considered how to counterattack the big and small kings.
