The Director of Music Department

Time is really not a thing, if you say it, you can leave it, if you don't say it, you can leave it, no one can do anything about it.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the vegetarian banquet.

Of course, although there was a mess of mandarin ducks and almost married his own sister, but this trip Wang Yifan met quite a few "heavyweight" people, especially when everyone experienced such an incident together. After the extremely embarrassing farce, on the contrary, he has become familiar with the road a lot.

Then, they actually had a wechat group, and there were a few people who didn't catch up with the vegetarian banquet. After learning about the matter, they all beat their hands and feet and shouted that it was a loss.

By the way, the Great Monk and his real sister Liuli Jiang are also in the group, but the Great Monk is better, usually he recites a lot of scriptures and is free, so he is an active member in the group and can often talk to people Discuss this and that.

But Liuli is a screen-peeping party and emoji party. Anyway, Wang Yifan has never seen her appear a few times, and she has appeared in various emoticons.

It is completely different from the first impression of the ancient monk when I saw it.

Of course, everyone has their own jobs.

Of course Wang Yifan was busy with "The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog", and soon "The Faithful Dog" was finished.

But the completion of the film does not mean that Wang Yifan will be able to relax. Although there are no special effects shots in the subsequent post-production, it will take a long time.

The good thing is that Wang Yifan has watched this movie several times in his previous life, so although it is a revised version, it is actually easier to edit in terms of editing.

Then it was announced. Although the previous Wang Xingren competition was indeed very popular, it was a few months ago after all.

The pace of the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the smoke of the film market for the Spring Festival stalls has already begun to fill the air.

Although the schedule of the Spring Festival is very short, it is difficult to compare with the nearly 3-month schedule of the summer, but because of the short schedule, the competition for the Spring Festival is more intense and fierce.

This year is no exception.

What surprised Wang Yifan was that there were several old acquaintances in this year's Spring Festival.

One is the old man Ma Qingshan. However, Ma Qingshan's movies have never been good at the box office. He is a master of literature and art, so although they are both in the Spring Festival, no one will actually regard Ma Qingshan as an opponent.

Then there was Wu Han, which surprised Wang Yifan, after all, how long has it been since Wu Han's new movie was released? It turned out that it was in time for the Spring Festival again?

"Wu Han's new movie "Fate Hangs in a Thread" is a suspenseful police film. The investors are Canxing and Huanyu, and the distributor is Huanyu." Dai Xinyue said.

"The investment of the film is 60 million, with Chen Dahua and Yan He starring."

"Yan He?" Wang Yifan was a little surprised. The original audition for Yan He left a deep impression on him. Anyway, he admired Wu Han a lot, and he was able to stand the fame of Yan He in the circle. The difficult prickly head.

Wang Yifan believed that he would never dare to use an actor who dared to change the script casually during the audition.

"As for this year's Spring Festival, our biggest opponent should be the new work "Nine Stars Lianzhu" directed by Chen Hang. According to rumors, Tang Kyushu wanted to buy out the release with a guarantee of one billion yuan, but in the end the negotiation failed. I think Chen Hang is right about this film. The film has high expectations. With Chen Hang's past achievements and the release of Kyushu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Nine Stars Lianzhu" is favored by many people." Dai Xinyue said with a serious face.

Wang Yifan nodded, but he was still a little puzzled. If Wu Han's "Dangerous Fate" could be completed in just a few months, that would be acceptable. After all, "Dangerous Fate" itself is probably also a plot. It is estimated that there are very few special effects shots. However, a film like "Nine Stars Lianzhu" with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan was completed in almost a few months, which is a bit suspicious.

After all, Chen Hang's movies are usually blockbuster special effects movies, and everyone knows that the shooting time of blockbuster special effects movies is not too long, but the post-production takes a long time, but in the end, Chen Hang's last movie was in Last year's Spring Festival was released, even after the movie was released, he started to prepare for the new film, at least a month's preparation period, right? As a result, it went directly to the Spring Festival stalls.

In fact, the shooting cycle of many movies is not long, including those blockbusters, but post-production is often several times longer than shooting.

One year seems to be a long time, but for a sci-fi blockbuster, it is really a bit hasty.

Of course, maybe Chen Hang and Tang Dynasty Kyushu didn't take Wang Yifan's new movie seriously at all. After all, comparing the two, to be honest, the gap is really big.

The first one is the director. Chen Hang is a billionaire director, and although Wang Yifan is good, his highest box office is less than half of Chen Hang's.

The second is the film cast. "Nine Stars" has an investment of more than 200 million yuan, while "The Story of Hachiko" can only be regarded as a medium and low-cost film, not even a blockbuster.

The third is the cast. "Nine Stars" includes first-tier stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" is really only Li Junsheng who can be counted as the first-tier star. In fact, Li Junsheng, In the film industry, it is just a budding figure.

In fact, when it comes to confidence, Wang Yifan himself doesn't have much confidence. After all, Chen Hang is not Wu Han.

However, he didn't plan to confront the other party from the beginning, and the two films belong to different themes, and although the competition for the Spring Festival file is fierce, it is also a time when the market can accommodate many movies.

"Seeing that we are going to change our distribution strategy." Wang Yifan said while rubbing his chin.

"What do you think?" Dai Xinyue was quite confident in Wang Yifan's ability in this area.

"Let's order the show first, and the time will be moved one week earlier. Before the Spring Festival arrives, we need at least half a month." Wang Yifan said.

Dai Xinyue was a little puzzled, isn't this a routine routine? Why did Wang Yifan say to change the distribution strategy?

Movie screenings are a common distribution method in this world. Generally speaking, there are several media special sessions, film critic special sessions, movie fan special sessions, etc. It can be said that it is not new.

"Of course, I'm not talking about small-scale screenings, but large-scale screenings." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Large-scale screening? How large-scale?" Dai Xinyue was a little puzzled.

"Covering all first- and second-tier cities across the country." Wang Yifan said.

"But, in this case, wouldn't it be a direct release? It's just that the scale of the release is relatively small." Dai Xinyue didn't understand the significance of doing so.

"It can be understood in this way. In fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing new. It is just hunger marketing. We have expanded the scale of screenings to all first- and second-tier cities, but we need to make some restrictions on the number of shows." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Dai Xinyue nodded. To be honest, she still didn't quite understand.

In fact, this kind of large-scale screening is not because other movies don't want to do it, but that such screening requires absolute confidence in the film's reputation.

Normally speaking, ordinary screenings are actually pre-heated promotions for the movie, word-of-mouth and so on, which can still be controlled.

Some time in advance, let film critics, media people, and some die-hard movie fans watch it first, and then let them tout it, word of mouth can be controlled.

But if it is a large-scale on-demand screening, then the people who watch the movie are not limited to these specific groups.

If the movie is [.] good enough, then of course it is a good thing. When it is officially released, it will have a good reputation and attract a lot of tap water.

But if the movie is not good enough, it may become a disaster, because the scale of screenings is definitely not comparable to the official release, and the screenings will be cold, and the box office cannot be cheated, and everyone will no longer be interested.
