Perfect Superstar

"On March 20th, "The Battle of Vulcan" will be released, and on April 9th ​​will be "Legend of the Holy Land"..."

In the conference room of Chenfei Media, a closed-door meeting of the company's top management was being held. Wan Xiaoquan talked into the microphone with a serious expression: "These two Hollywood special effects blockbusters are our biggest rivals, unless "" A Chinese Ghost Story has been delayed until May, otherwise it cannot be avoided!"

Wan Xiaoquan returned to the capital from Xiangjiang three days ago. On the day before he returned to Beijing, "A Chinese Ghost Story", which had exhausted its box office potential, ended perfectly in various theaters in Xiangjiang, with a cumulative box office of 105 million, ranking among the history of Xiangjiang. top 20 at the box office.

If Hollywood blockbusters are excluded, "A Chinese Ghost Story" ranks seventh among Hong Kong-produced and China-Hong Kong co-productions, and this does not include the 42 million+ peripheral sales.

As the actual director of this movie, Wan Xiaoquan has contributed a lot. In addition to generous rewards, he also got half a month's long-term.

But Wan Xiaoquan did not choose to go on vacation, but returned to China immediately to help Lu Chen carry out the promotional layout of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in China.

He has quite a lot of experience in this area.

Others may not understand that Wan Xiaoquan's name is not on "A Chinese Ghost Story". Not only did he not feel resentful because of this, but he devoted himself to making suggestions for Chen Fei Media, which is really incredible.

However, Wan Xiaoquan's gratitude to Lu Chen has always been buried in his heart. He is not very good at expressing his emotions, so he uses actions to repay Lu Chen's kindness.

Lu Chen helped Wan Xiaoquan when he was at his worst, gave him invaluable trust, allowed him to make a comeback in Xiangjiang, and gave him another work that was destined to become a classic.

It really doesn't matter if you have a name or not.

Seriously, if his name is in the subtitles of the film, it will not pass the review of the radio and television.

And Wan Xiaoquan also really admired Lu Chen. The script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was written by Lu Chen, and many of the sub-shots were drawn by Lu Chen. With the excellent soundtrack, it would not be a big problem to change the director.

With all these things, Wan Xiaoquan needs to prove his ability even more, how can he have the leisure to go on vacation!

The recent domestic release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not optimistic. "Battle on Vulcan" is a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of 170 million US dollars by the American superstar film industry. It has already won 270 million US dollars at the box office in the United States. Even more fanfare.

Douglas, the president of Superstar Films, threatened to make over 1 billion domestic box office.

It can be described as full of confidence.

In comparison, Lion Pictures' fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Holy Land" is weaker, but the film's investment is not much worse than "Battle of Vulcan", reaching 150 million US dollars, and it will be released in the United States soon.

If "A Chinese Ghost Story" chooses to be released at this time, it will face two Hollywood blockbusters. It will undoubtedly be very difficult to achieve Lu Chen's goal of 500 million box office.

But it would be even worse if it was delayed until May.

At present, there are already pirated copies of "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the Internet, but they are all cam and ts versions, the so-called gun version and quasi-gun version. The quality is not enough to threaten the box office.

At present, the country still attaches great importance to the copyright protection of domestic films, including Hong Kong films. If a film is released in high-definition during its release, it will inevitably be severely cracked down. After the film is released, the intensity will be much smaller.

The cam and ts versions had little impact, and the producers turned a blind eye. "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released recently, but if it takes too long, it will be difficult to control the high-definition version.

At that time, the impact on the box office will be even greater!

"A Chinese Ghost Story will not be postponed..."

Lu Chen said decisively: "Even in May, there will still be competition from Hollywood blockbusters. We can't avoid it. Why don't we have a vigorous battle with them, and it doesn't matter if we lose!"

"What's more, we may not lose yet!"

The cost of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has already been fully recovered, and the excess profit is more than enough to be used for domestic publicity. No matter how much box office it earns, it is profit. If it is still afraid of competition, then simply don't make a movie.

Many domestic filmmakers have a kind of "American phobia". The disastrous box office failure of the film is often attributed to the competing Hollywood blockbusters at the same time.

As a result, the "domestic film protection month" in July and August has become a favorite, and various film companies have sharpened their heads and drilled in, fighting for the schedule.

That is to say, in recent years, domestic films have recovered a bit of decline by relying on youth films, idol films, and Internet-based big ip films, and the situation has finally improved a lot.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" has nothing to do with these three types, but Lu Chen has no fear of Hollywood blockbusters, because he never thought of making a fortune in the domestic film market and leaving. The specifications of the indoor studio and the formation of the special effects production team are all based on this goal.

Lu Chen's self-confidence and courage to face challenges infected everyone present, Wan Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Then we need to step up our publicity efforts and formulate a targeted publicity strategy. Boss, you and the boss's wife should show off your love on the blog more often." , the effect is absolutely good and save money.”

Everyone couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, Wan Xiaoquan, who is always serious, would also make a joke.

Lu Chen smiled wryly: "I...do my best."

Although Wan Xiaoquan was joking, what he said was very reasonable. As far as the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" is concerned, the tens of millions of fans of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er are undoubtedly the biggest ticket holders.

The two increased their interactions on the blog and broke out small stories, all of which were side promotions for "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The meeting ended after two hours. It is worth mentioning that "Painted Skin", which has already been released, was not within the scope of the discussion, so I only brought one sentence.

Because no one regards the defeated "Painted Skin" as an opponent, naturally there is no value for discussion.

It is estimated that Cui Xingxian, the head of Huaguan Pictures, would vomit blood three times when he found out.

After the meeting, just as Lu Chen returned to his office, Chen Xin, Lu Xi's assistant, came over.

My sister has something important to look for him.

Lu Chen felt a little strange, so he rushed to Lu Xi's general manager's office immediately.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Xi didn't answer directly, but turned the computer monitor on the table 180 degrees for him to see.

The webpage opened on the screen was the entertainment version of a large domestic website, and the bold and black title on it was very eye-catching, making Lu Chen's eyelids twitch when he saw it!

Nominations for the "Golden Luan Award" leaked, and the hit drama "Blue Life and Death" is not on the list! "
