Superstar Couple

  Chapter 33 The controversy over the release time

  Zhang Le is busy with the post-production of "Crazy Stone". Although this movie is copied from his previous life, there are many changes. The movie has poured too much effort on him.

  Scoring, interlude, cutting...especially cutting, this is the link that Zhang Le cares most about. The whole movie is very important if it is cut. If you don't understand your own movie, you can't cut the ideal effect at all.

   "Director Zhang, do you want to write a theme song?" Lu Yang, the deputy director of the film, suggested to Zhang Le. No way, the theme song written by Zhang Le for the movie "Waiting for Return" had a profound impact on people. Nowadays, when people think of this movie, the first thing that comes to mind is not the picture of the movie, but the melody of the movie's theme song "Fireworks Easy to Cold".

   "This movie will not have a theme song. Even my movie will not write a theme song in the future." Zhang Le shook his head and said immediately.

   Lu Yang was puzzled, and then suddenly remembered that this person who is recognized as talented in music has pushed almost all commercial performances, and there is only one reason for pushing, he is a director, not a singer.

  Obviously, he prefers his role as a director.

  Director, yes! He must be afraid that the theme song he wrote will overwhelm the audience and steal the limelight of his movie.

  Think about how much the limelight "Waiting for Return" has been won by "Fireworks". What's more, Zhang Le's theme song is well-written, and it steals the limelight of the movie, and the gain is not worth the loss. Poor writing will damage his reputation in music and it will not be worth the loss. It is better not to write.

  It’s just that Lu Yang is a little worried.This movie has no big celebrities and such a small investment. If there is no theme song to increase publicity, will anyone enter the theater to watch it?

  Lu Yang is also a film director, but he has never had the opportunity to direct the film alone. However, for this movie he

  The research is very deep and the food is very thorough. Therefore, he knows the excellence of this movie. But he knew it was useless, he had to ask the audience to know. What's more, the box office of a movie is not only related to the excellent film itself, there are also many factors that affect the box office of the movie.

  He didn’t know that this excellent film could not stand the test of today’s film market.

   "Director Zhang, what you asked me to inquire about, inquire clearly." A person walked in and said to Zhang Le. At the same time, a folder was handed over.

  The person is He Jun, who is in charge of Xinle Film Studio.

  Zhang Le took the folder he handed over and looked through it, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

"When the big films from the Spring Festival stalls gather, the fight is very tragic. If "Crazy Stone" is released in the Spring Festival stalls and cannot become a dark horse at the box office, then it will be crushed to pieces by those blockbusters. It is estimated that there will be no bubbles. It’s really unsuccessful and benevolent.” He Jun said, “I personally suggest that it is better to be safe, and it is better to postpone or release it earlier. After all, this movie is the studio’s first movie.

   "Do you think Mr. He is an opportunity?" Zhang Le handed over the document and said.

"Director Zhang said that most of the blockbuster films in this year's Spring Festival are history, action, and science fiction, and most of those films are still tragedies. Even if they are not tragedies, they are mostly popcorn movies with visual highlights. And "Crazy Stone" is one piece. An out-and-out comedy, under such circumstances, is extremely conspicuous. After all, during the Spring Festival, who doesn't want to watch some happy movies?" He Jun said.

   "Am I right?" Zhang Le asked. In his memory, there was a movie in his previous life that took advantage of this situation and even set a box office record.

  Zhang Le does not expect "Crazy Stone" to create any box office record. After all, the real big killer of this movie is its narrative approach to create a new model. But the more the box office, the greater the influence of this movie.

  What Zhang Le lacks now is influence.

  Otherwise, he would not give up the movie "Fix the Father-in-Law" and choose the movie "Crazy Stone" instead. If it is just for small investment and high box office, in fact, "Nightclub" starring Xu Zheng is far more suitable for Zhang Le than "Crazy Stone".

   "But in the middle of so many big movies, the theater lineup will definitely be affected. The bad lineup has too much influence on the box office. I still don't think it is easy to take this risk." He Jun still shook his head and said.

   Zhang Le nodded, the arrangement of a movie is really important. This movie is not only a small investment, and there are no big stars, but it is also a film of a newly established studio.

  Zhang Le has confidence in his own movie, but it does not mean that others have it. Moreover, Zhang Le has no absolute certainty whether this movie will be accepted by the market. If there is the experience of the classic movie of the previous life star, there will be nowhere to cry when you want to cry.

  Unlike Zhang Leke, his film suffered a fiasco at the box office and was regarded as a classic by countless people after a few years.

  He doesn’t have that time. What's more, He Jun is the person in charge of the company after all, and his own research on the world film market is much better than he does not know. It is impossible for Zhang Le not to consider his opinion.

   "Then try to avoid the moments when the big hits are the most popular, one or two weeks in advance or later. What do you think?" Zhang Le thought for a while and said.

  He Jun wanted to say something more, but Zhang Le’s phone rang at this time.

  "Come out for a drink, let me introduce some friends to you!" Feng Lei's voice came over the phone.

  "Drink yourself! You know, I am very busy this time." Zhang Le refused.

  "Don't be too busy to refuse! Do you know who I introduced to you?" Feng Lei said again.

   "Who?" Zhang Le asked reflexively. In fact, Feng Lei called specifically to introduce himself to a friend, and Zhang Le also knew that the other party was doing his own good.

  In the entertainment industry, contacts are too important. It's just that Zhang Le is really not good at socializing.

   "Wu Xiaoyong! Do you remember who it is?" Feng Lei said.

   "I know, the son of the Xingsheng Group, who gave you a 100,000 yuan bonus." Zhang Le smiled and said. He is really not interested in making this kind of rich second generation. I'm not interested in Feng Lei's wine.

"Then, do you know that the theaters under the Xingsheng Group are the largest in the country? And Wu Xiaoyong alone has a lot of shares. You, I don't. Our movie is released, if he comes out to say hello, the theater You will definitely think about his face when you line up the film. Besides, if you contact him more, you will find that the guy is actually pretty good." Feng Lei said again.

  "Where are you?" Zhang Le said immediately.

  I have to admit that Feng Lei was born to be a lobbyist. He was tempted.

  "Where are you? I'll pick you up!" Feng Lei said.

"the company!"

  Feng Lei came quickly and drove a luxury car.

  "I haven't seen you in a few days. Did you post?" Zhang Le joked as soon as he got in the car.

   "My dad. You don't know." Feng Lei smiled and said, "He went to make a movie. Instead of staying at home as a decoration, he might as well borrow it for a few days."

   "Borrow? Ha ha!" Zhang Le laughed. This guy apparently took advantage of his father's outing to film, and quietly drove out of the car to enjoy himself. It's not that he hasn't done this before.

  "Where are we going now?" Zhang Le didn't tease him anymore, but asked instead.

  "A club in the outskirts." Feng Lei said.
