Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 329 Chapter 329: Unprecedented competition for schedules

Lu Chuan's ridiculous encounter was just an insignificant episode to Shan He. Shan He didn't take it to heart and continued to be busy shooting in the studio.

But for the person involved, Lu Chuan, it was a near-annihilation disaster.

Shanhe himself did not target him. Apart from replying on his blog, he did not take any further action.

But his actions completely offended the Chuhe Film and Television Group, and the entire Chuhe Film and Television Group was pursuing him fiercely.

Shanhe is the core competitiveness and spiritual leader of the entire Chuhe Film and Television. If you target Shanhe, it will be a deadly feud for the entire Chuhe Film and Television.

The ensuing revenge will be endless!

Jiahe Cinema Line directly removed "Jinling!" Jinling! ” screening.

Driven by Chuhe Film and Television, criticism of Lu Chuan and the film intensified on the Internet and in print media.

This situation caused other theaters to involuntarily reduce the number of "Jinling!" Jinling! 》The film scheduling rate.

After the film entered its second week, the box office plummeted, with less than 3 million yuan on the first working day.

Lu Chuan was on pins and needles about this situation, and Hua Yi, who always took revenge, made no move at all.

When Mr. Lu Chuan asked someone to deliver it to Chuhe Film and Television, Chuhe Film and Television didn't respond at all.

The identity of a famous screenwriter and writer is a big deal for Chuhe Film and Television!

The attack continues with increased intensity!

Lu Chuan's life, which used to be smooth sailing and full of ambition, has hit a brick wall.

As soon as I graduated from Beijing Film Academy at the age of 26, I took over the adaptation of a popular novel.

Chen Daoming plays the villain in a TV series,

In the first movie, Jiang Wen came out to play the leading role for him.

His second film won numerous awards in China, and the media praised him.

His second-generation status made Lu Chuan feel at ease all the way, and his driving skills were not much worse than those of Shanhe.

This time, he met his nemesis and had to pay an irreparable price for his arrogance and outspokenness.

"You should really reflect on yourself. You are too erratic in what you say and do. You let the trouble come out of your mouth without considering the consequences at all!"

Lu Tianming looked at his dejected son and said helplessly.

"Lao Lu, our son didn't say anything too harsh, right? Shanhe needs to be so petty!" Lu's mother argued for her son from the side.

"Shanhe doesn't care about him at all. Lu Chuan's words have no impact on him. The key is Chuhe Film and Television. If you want to destroy their brand, they must not fight to the death with you!"

Lu Tianming's words caused the whole family to fall into silence.

"Alas! I'll find Lao Han again in a few days. He has a good relationship with Shanhe, but this time I'm exhausted!"

Time has entered May, and Lewis is about to wrap up. After nearly three months of running in, the crew finally showed signs of smooth operation.

There were so many difficulties encountered in the first two months, and the crew overcame them one by one.

Nowadays, when small problems and adjustments occur, everyone is used to it. Each department should do what it should do. The progress of the shooting has not stopped at all because of the emergence of problems.

The first weekend in May, Day-Lewis wrapped up.

The whole crew stood up and applauded him. Shanhe stepped forward and gave Lewis a hug after taking off his equipment.

Daniel Day-Lewis is truly an actor born for movies;

He looks serious and rigid, but is full of enthusiasm and dedication to performance.

During the nearly three months on the crew, he faced the tedious training and constantly adjusting and changing shooting plans, but he never complained.

In addition to training, he spent all his time trying to figure out and understand the characters.

In "Gravity," the astronaut Matt Wolski played by Lewis is not the focus of the movie.

His performance was quite limited, but he still treated the role meticulously, and even repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with Shanhe, believing that the director gave them too little preparation time.

He and Gong Li should be allowed to go to the space agency to experience life for a period of time.

Facing this kind of actor, the crew members on the scene all respected him.

This is a two-time Oscar winner for Best Actor, but he still treats the role and the movie like a newcomer.

To be honest, this affected many people, including Shanhe and Gong Li.

Don’t forget your original intention and work hard to practice it! He did it perfectly!

No wonder that in later generations, Day-Lewis would win the Oscar for the third time for "Lincoln", and Hollywood would call him the "God of Acting"!

Shanhe gave the entire crew a half-day holiday for Lewis's closing party and gave him the highest respect.

Lewis was very happy to get Shanhe's recognition. After eating the closing banquet relaxedly and happily, he gave Shanhe a big hug.

"Qiu, when I saw the script, I knew it was a cross-generational movie. Although my role was not outstanding, I was still very satisfied. This was my first major commercial production and it will also be my last. department,

Your talent is unparalleled, and I feel lucky to be working with such a genius on a groundbreaking film. I wish us the greatest success! "

Shanhe accepted Lewis' praise with a smile and replied: "We will succeed, Lewis, thank you for your enthusiasm and persistence in the movie. You are not only the leading actor in the crew, but also a role model for everyone. Your professionalism deserves the third place." Three-time Oscar winner!"

"Haha...Qiu, you are such an interesting young man!"

After sending away the dedicated Lewis, the filming of the film has entered the later stage. Gong Li once again entered the single-player mode, but this time she no longer felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable as she had been in the previous two months.

Whether it is hanging wires, shooting weightlessness underwater, or wearing an LED light helmet to simulate space scenes on a robotic arm, she can do it with ease.

In terms of performance level, Gong Li is definitely the most talented actress that Shanhe has ever worked with. Once she adapts to the shooting method, her characteristics are immediately displayed to the fullest.

Her unique aura gives this character more personality traits, and she also has her own special understanding of the scene.

What Shanhe is most satisfied with is her line skills.

In the movie, the heroine Ouyang Wangshu is a Chinese-American. Her communication with the male protagonist is mainly in English, but when facing space alone, she needs to use both Chinese and English.

How to combine it, how to fit the identity and personality of the character, and how not to make Eastern and Western audiences feel awkward, there is no complete standard, and it needs to be understood and grasped by the actors themselves.

Gong Li did a perfect job, and Shanhe could even hear the first half of Ouyang Wangshu's character from her lines.

Her ability to handle lines and the range of emotions contained in her lines are all meticulously grasped.

Shanhe couldn't help but applaud and praise him many times.

"Kah! Sister Li, this section is perfect! The lines are so creative. As long as you are in good condition, let's start the next scene!"

Shanhe was about to shoot the next shot of the International Space Station when the assistant Kang Zhixuan beside him said to him: "Boss, President Han of China Film and Television is here!"

"Well~ Sister Li, please rest for a while, and other departments will prepare first!"

After saying that, Shanhe followed Kang Zhixuan to the office in the northwest corner of the studio.

Han Shanping was looking through the movie renderings of Shanhe inside.

"Uncle Han, why do you have time to come to my place now? Has the production of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" been completed?"

"It's not even close! I just put my name on it, Lao Huang and the others are doing the work! It's the first major production in China worth over 100 million US dollars, I can't come and see it!" Han Shanping replied with a smile.

Shanhe sat opposite Han Shanping indifferently,

"How do you feel? My studio is pretty good, isn't it? Is China Film planning to build one too?"

"We can't spend money as casually as you. It's tens of millions of dollars. How many movies will it take to make money back? I guess China will be able to use you just like you in the past few years!"

Shanhe smiled and said, "Uncle Han, how much do you think the box office of "Gravity" will be?"

Han Shanping put down the renderings in his hands and replied with a smile: "How could I have guessed this? I can't understand your shooting plans and shooting methods. Based on your past performance, it must be better than "Dallas Buyers Club" "Be strong!"

Shanhe looked at Han Shanping and responded: "According to my estimation, "Gravity" will have to break at least one billion in China!"

"How many?"

Han Shanping was shocked by Shan He's words and stood up directly.

"One billion? Are you kidding me? At the beginning of the year, the huge scene of "Painted Skin 2" barely exceeded 500 million. The domestic box office record is still your "The Wind" with 510 million, the kind of movie that everyone watched It’s hard to replicate the craze. It’s only been a while, and you’re already going for a billion. Are you crazy?”

"Ha ha…"

Shanhe looked at Han Shanping who was standing with an unbelievable expression on his face, and smiled very proudly.

"Uncle Han, the leap in film technology will inevitably lead to the leap in box office records. Jiahe Cinema has invested in the construction of a lot of 3DIMAX screens in major cities in China this year, all in preparation for the release of "Gravity" and "Avatar" , the experience that 3DIMAX movies brings to the audience is unprecedented!”

"Are you serious?" Han Shanping asked, staring at Shanhe, "Is "Avatar" the one made by Cameron?"

"Of course, Uncle Han, I said at least one billion! Not barely one billion! The scenes and investment of "Avatar" are several times that of "Gravity". I am not sure of being able to handle it in China!"

After hearing this, Han Shanping slowly sat down, knocked on the table and pondered for a moment, then asked Shan He,

"When are you planning to release "Gravity"?"

"I don't know the specific time yet. It depends on the speed of special effects production. If it's fast, it will be at the end of the year or early next year!"

Han Shanping frowned and said: "You and Disney have to speed up the progress. As far as I know, Cameron plans to release the new film during the Christmas period of M country. Fox's distribution department has already begun to communicate with us about the release time. "Gravity" "You have to get it released before him!"

Shan He really couldn't remember the specific release time of "Avatar". He had never been to a movie theater in his previous life and only watched the movies from pirated websites.

I just vaguely remember that it was between 2008 and 2009. It's not that he didn't have the idea of ​​releasing it before "Avatar", but he didn't dare to be too sure.

Han Shanping looked at Shanhe and continued: "There will be another major Hollywood production at the end of the year, "The End of the World 2012", which has been scheduled for its global premiere on November 13th and domestic release on November 14th. "The Center of the Earth" The best time to release "Gravity" is early December!"

Han Shanping's words made Shanhe a little excited. There is no doubt that it will be released before "Avatar"!

"I will communicate with Disney immediately. Uncle Han, you must be cunning and cunning. This time in early December is great!"

"Okay, I helped you work hard to come up with ideas, and you got a reputation as a cunning old man!"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! You have great insights, you have a perfect plan, you are perceptive, and you are wise and powerful!"

"Haha...you kid is really capable now!"

Han Shanping laughed out loud proudly. I, Han Laosan, have been in the film and television industry for so many years. Is it all in vain?

"Shan He, there is one more thing to do. Give Uncle Han some face regarding Lu Chuan. Don't worry about it!"

"ah!"

Shanhe looked at Han Shanping with surprise. Lu Chuan's backstage was indeed hard enough. Even Han Shanping could move out.

"Oh, I didn't even pay attention to this, so I just said it on my blog. Everyone expresses their own opinions. There's nothing wrong with discussing it!"

"You didn't care. The two strong ladies from Chuhe Film and Television were ruthless and killed Lu Chuan like a chicken. Lao Lu has some foundation in the country, so just take it back when you get angry. It's not good to have too deep a grudge!"

"Okay, I listen to you!"

"You young people, you just have too much temper!"

After sending Han Shanping away, Shan He told Kang Zhixuan, "Let Sister Zhong and Yang Liu stop chasing and fighting. The future is long, and we have to give Han Shanping his face!"

"I understand!" Kang Zhixuan nodded and replied, "Disney Pictures' share exchange plan has been sent to Sister Zhong, would you like to take a look too!"

Shanhe waved his hand, "Let Sister Zhong handle this matter. I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. This kind of thing is Sister Zhong's specialty. It's not enough to tie ten of me together. What can I do to put pressure on her!"

"Okay! I'll do it right away!"

"Zhixuan, please be more involved in this negotiation, so you don't have to worry too much about me."

Kang Zhixuan looked at Shanhe, said "Thank you, boss!", then turned and left.

Shanhe completed the shooting plan for the day and called producer Bruckheimer that night.

The battle for schedule has officially begun. In this life, Cameron cannot be the only one in the world!

In the next month, Bruckheimer, a powerful figure in Hollywood, led the Disney Distribution Department to start a head-to-head competition with 20th Century Fox for the schedule.

Mountain and River faced off against Cameron, and "Gravity" faced off against "Avatar" in the same month. This kind of scene is probably unprecedented, and it is probably rare for those who come after it!

December of 2009 is destined to go down in the annals of film history. The chaos of mountains and rivers made this month even more legendary.

Roland Emmerich, the famous director of disaster films, spent 200 million US dollars to produce his turnaround film "2012", and he is about to become cannon fodder in the war between two films that cross the era!

There is hardly any secret in the fierce competition among the Big Six in Hollywood. Reporters from Country M have a keener sense of smell than a dog.

In less than a week, it was revealed that "Gravity" and "Avatar" were competing for the Christmas slot.

This news instantly detonated the entertainment industry.

The movie market in the past two years has been really crazy, with all kinds of good movies and blockbusters emerging.

There were a lot of good movies in 2008, and a lot of blockbusters in 2009. The competition among the six major Hollywood companies has become fierce, with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment everywhere!

As soon as the economic crisis broke out, the entertainment industry entered a carnival?

The competition for the Christmas slot in 2009 is unprecedented!

It was originally thought that "The End of the World 2012", which had been scheduled for a long time, would be the leading film of the Christmas period. Now it seems that it is probably just a prelude, and may even become cannon fodder.

Who are the directors of "Avatar" and "Gravity"?

One is the king of Hollywood directors. The "Terminator" series and "Titanic" made Cameron famous.

His films have a huge investment, but they have never disappointed the public. It is not surprising for him to have groundbreaking operations.

The production of "Avatar" alone cost US$500 million, was brewing for more than ten years, and the filming and production period lasted four years. Needless to say, this is another groundbreaking movie.

The other one also made a statement. Since he set foot in Hollywood, he has never failed and broken many Hollywood curses. He is widely known as the "Magician" of Shanhe.

The global impact of "Dallas Buyers Club" is still vivid, and even the election of Country M was deeply affected by it.

The African American who just came to power has publicly admitted many times that crossing mountains and rivers has helped him immeasurably!

"Gravity" is his first major production attempt, and it is also the focus of global media and fans. The chance of failure is almost zero.

Two directors with great appeal collided, and now a big drama was about to take place.

Both films have yet to be finalized and their schedules have yet to be determined, but they have already set off a tornado around the world.

Hollywood's major online print media clearly reported the news in detail, mixed with a lot of speculation and daydreams.

"Cameron and Huaxiaqiu join the competition for the Christmas schedule. An unparalleled and unprecedented movie feast will be on the table in half a year..."

"In the 3DIMAX technical duel, it is reported that Cameron's "Avatar" and Hua Xiaqiu's "Gravity" were both produced using the latest 3DIMAX photography technology. It is the first time that a real person has starred in a 3D virtual movie. This is a cross-generational one. Fight..."

"What kind of grand occasion will the collision between two geniuses, one old and one young, bring to the movie? This is a milestone in the development of the movie..."

"The strongest Christmas schedule in the history of movies has appeared. It has already been bloody and bloody before it was released. Disney and Fox are fighting hand to hand..."

This kind of scene is truly unheard of and unseen. Both directors have legendary experiences, and their box office appeal is unquestionable.

Logically speaking, if the king does not see the king, they will naturally stagger each other, but they happened to encounter an intruder like Shanhe who did not follow common sense.

Cameron is also a proud man, full of confidence in his four years of hard work.

You Hua Xia Qiu, a junior, has a movie worth more than 100 million US dollars. If I hide, how will I still be able to work in Hollywood in the future?

The two movies are really on par with each other!

The news soon spread around the world. Cameron and Hua Xiaqiu were dueling for the Christmas season. This news also detonated the global entertainment industry.

Domestic reports are endless, and the Internet, TV, and print media all promote it in unison. Cameron is said to be heroic by them!

Shanhe is almost described as a brave Zhao Zilong, who kills the most powerful man in Hollywood with a white horse and a long spear!

Naturally, the domestic public cheered and supported him. Shanhe was so arrogant that he took action against the king of Hollywood directors without any hesitation. He was so proud of the Chinese people.

Let alone anything else, you can definitely do it by buying a movie ticket to support it!

The duel between the two movies is highly hyped by the outside world, and the schedule competition between Disney and Fox is also fierce.

The two companies refused to give in to each other. Both wanted to release the film one step ahead of the other, and both chose December. Neither one was willing to take a step back.

North American theater companies are both happy and troubled.

There are two such phenomenal movies released at the end of the year, which means they make more money, but the two movies happened to be so close together. The collision was too intense and it hurt money!

So several major theater operators came forward together to coordinate and communicate with the two companies as a third party.

It’s all about making money, so we can discuss it!

Columbia Pictures got the news and refused to do so!

If you two do this, then "2012" will really become your cannon fodder. No, we have to join this coordination meeting, and the schedule of "2012" must be adjusted.

Now, the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han has turned into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the three major productions have begun a long period of competition and division of the cake for the year-end schedule.

There has never been such a scene in the history of Hollywood, with three phenomenal productions swarming together to compete for a slot.

The entire Hollywood film and television industry is watching the final outcome of the matter.

During this period, Gary Gee's "Sherlock Holmes" was quietly withdrawn from its schedule.

Warner Bros. is gritting its teeth, but there is nothing we can do. It’s not that we are too incompetent, but the enemy is too powerful!

This kind of face-to-face competition for interests is destined not to end so soon. There is still a long time until the end of the year, so there is time to argue!

Shanhe caused the fire, so he didn't care about anything else. It was not his turn to take part in the competition between the six major Hollywood companies.

The real thing is to seize the time and make the movie.

Shanhe was busy filming in the studio as usual, but the crew was shocked by the turmoil caused by Shanhe.

Especially Gong Li, she was completely impressed by Shanhe's operation.

It turns out that movie releases can be so hyped, and the whole world is abuzz about a single schedule. Even before the movie is finished, "Gravity" has already grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office!

In just a few days since the news broke, Gong Li's global popularity has expanded rapidly, more than she has in the years of hard work in Hollywood!

She was still filming "Gravity" in the studio, and outside agents received endorsement invitations from major businesses, and the endorsement fees increased a lot.

There is an endless stream of scripts for her to star in, and her pay is also rising.

The agent's voice was trembling as he talked excitedly on the phone.

"Ali, Shanhe's wealth is really not something to be boasted about. Your net worth has skyrocketed even before the movie was finished. I can't even imagine the situation after the movie is released!"

Gong Li listened to the agent's introduction for a few minutes, and after hanging up the phone, she was in shock.

She is considered to be the most famous movie star in China. She has seen a lot of different things in the world, but this is the first time she has experienced this.

I also thought that after starring in Shan He's movie, I would reach a higher level, but I didn't expect that it would happen so quickly and inexplicably!
