Chapter 188: . Familiar opponents

Time is really not a thing. If you just leave, you can leave without saying anything. No one can do anything about it.
In an instant, half a month had passed since the vegetarian feast.
Of course, although there was a mess of mandarin ducks and almost married his sister, Wang Yifan met a lot of "heavyweights" this time, especially since everyone has experienced such a show together. After the embarrassing farce, on the contrary, he has become familiar with a lot.
Then, they actually had a micro-chat group, and there were still a few people who hadn't caught up with the vegetarian banquet. After learning about the incident, they all screamed for loss.
By the way, the great monk and his true sister Liulijiang are also in the group. However, the great monk is better. I usually recite more scriptures and are idle, so on the contrary, he is active in the group and can often talk to people. Discuss this and that.
The girl Liuli is a peeping party and an emoji party. Anyway, Wang Yifan has never seen her appear several times, and there are also various emoticons.
It was completely different from the ancient monk who had the first impression.
Of course, everyone has their own jobs.
Wang Yifan was, of course, busy with "The Story of the Hachiko", and "The Dog" was finished soon.
But the completion of the movie does not mean that Wang Yifan can be idle. The subsequent post-production, although there are no special effects shots, it takes 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.
Then it was announced. Although the previous Wang Xingren competition was indeed very popular, it was already a few months ago.
The pace of the Spring Festival is getting closer, and the smoke of the movie market in the Spring Festival has begun to diffuse.
Although the Spring Festival stalls are very short, it is difficult to compare with the summer stalls which lasted nearly three months, but because of the short stalls, the competition for the Spring Festival stalls has become more intense and fierce.
This year is no exception.
What surprised Wang Yifan was that there were several old acquaintances in the Spring Festival this year.
One is Mr. Ma Qingshan. However, Ma Qingshan’s movies have not always been known at the box office. They are the big names in the literary and artistic style. So although they belong to the Spring Festival stalls, no one actually regards Ma Qingshan as an opponent.
Then there was Wu Han. This surprised Wang Yifan. After all, how long has it been until Wu Han's new movie was released? It turned out to catch the Spring Festival stall again?
"Wu Han's new movie "Life Hanging on the Thread" is a suspenseful police film. The investors are Canxing and Huanyu, and the distributor is Huanyu." Dai Xinyue said.
"The film invested 60 million yuan, with Chen Dahua and Yan He starring."
"Yan He?" Wang Yifan was a little surprised. The original audition Yan He left him with a deep impression. Anyway, he admired Wu Han very much, and he could stand the reputation of Yan He. The difficult thorny head.
The actor who dared to change the script at random, Wang Yifan believed that he would never use it.
"And this year's Spring Festival file, our biggest opponent should be the new work "Nine Stars Link" directed by Chen Hang. According to rumors, Kyushu wanted to buy out and release it at a guaranteed price of one billion yuan, but in the end there was no agreement. The film gives high hopes. With Chen Hang's past achievements, coupled with the release of Kyushu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Nine Stars Linking Pearls" is favored by many people." Dai Xinyue said with a serious face.
Wang Yifan nodded, but he still had some doubts. If Wu Han's "Fate on the Thread" can be completed in just a few months, it is acceptable. After all, "Fate on the Thread" itself is also a plot. Film, special effects lens is estimated to be very few. However, it is a little doubtful that a film like "Nine Stars Linking", which has a production cost of over 100 million yuan, can be completed in just a few months.
After all, Chen Hang’s movies are usually special effects blockbusters. Everyone knows that special effects blockbusters don’t take too long to shoot, but post-production takes a long time. But in the end, Chen Hang’s upper movie is Last year's Spring Festival file was released. Even after the movie was released, he started to prepare for the new film, right? It turned out to be directly on the Spring Festival stall.
In fact, the shooting cycle of many movies is not long, including those blockbusters, but the post-production is often several times the time of shooting.
One year seems to be a long time, but for a science fiction blockbuster, it's really a bit hasty.
Of course, perhaps Chen Hang and Jiuzhou in the prosperous Tang Dynasty did not take Wang Yifan's new film too seriously. After all, compared with the two, to be honest, the gap is really big.
The first is the director. Chen Hang is a billionaire director. Although Wang Yifan is not bad, his highest movie box office is less than half of Chen Hang's.
The second is the film cast. "Nine Stars Connecting Pearl" has invested more than 200 million yuan, and "The Story of Hachiko" is still only a low-cost film, not even a blockbuster.
The third aspect is the cast. "Nine Stars" has included first-line celebrities from the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and "The Story of the Faithful Dog Hachiko" is the only one who can really be counted on the front line, and Li Junsheng actually In the movie circle, it's just emerging.
In fact, when it comes to confidence, Wang Yifan himself does not have much confidence. After all, Chen Hang is not Wu Han.
However, he didn't intend to be hard-headed with the other party from the beginning, and the two films belonged to different themes, and although the competition for the Spring Festival file was fierce, at the same time, this is also a schedule that can accommodate the outbreak of multiple films.
"After reading, we have to change the distribution strategy." Wang Yifan said, touching his chin.
"What are your thoughts?" Dai Xinyue was quite confident in Wang Yifan's ability in this area.
"Let's order the screening first, and the time will be one week ahead. We need at least half a month before the Spring Festival stalls," said Wang Yifan.
Dai Xinyue is a little bit confused, isn't this a regular routine? Why did Wang Yifan say to change the distribution strategy?
Movie screening is a common distribution routine in this world. Generally speaking, there are several media specials, film critics specials, movie fans specials, etc. It can be said that it is not new.
"Of course, I'm not talking about small-scale screening, but large-scale screening." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Large scale screening? How large?" Dai Xinyue was puzzled.
"It covers all first- and second-tier cities across the country." Wang Yifan said.
"But, in this case, isn't it just released directly? It's just that the screening scale is relatively small." Dai Xinyue didn't understand the meaning of doing this.
"It can be understood that, in fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing new, just hunger marketing. We have expanded the scale of the show to all first- and second-tier cities, but the number of shows needs to be restricted." 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 that other movies do not want to engage in it, but that such screening requires absolute confidence in the reputation of the film.
Normally speaking, ordinary click-to-show is actually a pre-heating promotion for the movie, and word-of-mouth and other things can still be controlled.
Some time in advance, let film critics, media people, and some die-hard movie fans read it first, and then let them praise it. Word of mouth can be controlled.
But if it is a large-scale screening, then the people who watch the movie are not just these specific people.
If the film is good enough, of course it is a good thing. When it is officially released, it will explode its good reputation and attract a lot of tap water.
However, if the film is not good enough, then it may become a disaster, because the scale of the screening is definitely not comparable to the official screening. The screening will be cold, and the box office will not be tricked, and everyone is no longer interested.
