"Yes, that's the book."

"It's a nonsense script, one of the symbols of our country, how did it become a monster movie?"

Chang Zhao said: "Chinese civilization is too profound. If it is filmed in its original style, those foreigners will not understand it at all, so they will use this simple way to tell stories. Foreigners like popcorn. This is a commercial film, and there is no need to pursue too much artistic quality."

"Who said that commercial films should not be artistic? Mr. Chang, you understand that it is fundamentally wrong."

Chang Zhao smiled and said, "You are an expert in this regard. I won't argue with you. "The Great Wall" is a big investment and big production, and it will definitely have an impact around the world. Global promises to invite top Hollywood stars to star in it. We Huanshi have decided to cooperate with Global. You are the Dinghai Scientific Head of our Huanshi Film. The directing rights of such blockbusters are yours."

Zhang Yimou said: "My main energy is now on "Return".

Chang Zhao said: "The Great Wall project will be launched until next year. By then, the filming of "Return" will be completed. Director Zhang, I have made a guarantee to Universal Pictures that you will definitely direct it, otherwise Universal will reconsider its cooperation with Huanshi."

Zhang Yimou remained silent. He and Huanshi had a bet agreement. Although he didn't like the script of "Great Wall", taking on such a blockbuster will help him complete the contract as soon as possible. Everything has two sides. The script of "Great Wall" is not the final version, and it can be made up for the shortcomings through modifications.

Because the "Taking Tiger Mountain" project was shelved indefinitely, the relationship between Xu Ke and Bernard dropped to freezing point. He is not Bernard's contracted director, and both parties have always had a cooperative relationship. Unlike the deep binding relationship between Zhang Yimou and Huanshi, Xu Ke has considerable freedom.

After careful consideration, Xu Ke decided to remake "New Dragon Inn". Because the original work was very successful, the adaptation of the script became particularly important. Xu Ke discussed with Zhang Hehuan. Zhang Hehuan believed that the original script was already classic enough, and the focus of the remake should be on 3D production.

In terms of the selection of actors, Zhang Hehuan's scheduled lineup cannot be determined. Quan Zhixian's schedule is very full. It was difficult to squeeze out time when filming "Taiping Wheel". As for this movie "New Dragon Inn", she could not get out even if she wanted to participate in the "New Dragon Inn".

Xu Ke proposed to use Wen Yongshi. After all, Wen Yongshi is an actor in the new star field and has been in a trend of popularity recently. Zhang Hehuan listed Wen Yongshi as a to be determined because Wen Yongshi is weaker in terms of aura, and she is not the ideal candidate to play Qiu Moyan.

The two discussed the movie in the office of Xinxingyuan Film. Before they knew it, night fell. Xu Ke lay on the sofa with his arms pillowed: "Hehuanzai, it's the end of September now, I guess "New Dragon Inn" may not be too late to produce..."

Zhang Hehuan's remake of "New Dragon Inn" was also a temporary matter. After it was put into practice, she realized that the production cycle would take at least half a year, and it was too late to go.

At this time, Mu Xichun came over and reminded them that the company had already gotten off work and it should be time for dinner now.

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "The master and I are discussing the remake of "New Longmen Inn". We have been talking until now without realizing it. What? You haven't gotten off work yet?"

Mu Xichun said: "You, the boss, are so dedicated, how dare we subordinates not work hard?"

Zhang Hehuan asked her to sit down, and Mu Xichun helped them add two cups of tea before she sat down: "There is a result of the discussion?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "If the Spring Festival is over, it may not be too late."

Old Monster Xu said: "You can write a new book, but you don't have this ability, why should you remake it?"

Mu Xichun suggested: "If you want to be released during the Spring Festival, it is better to have a family fun. Have you heard that Wang Sanri is filming a "Casino Storm" and will be included in the Spring Festival period. It is said to be a sequel to "God of Gambling" and the starring lineup is very strong."

Old Monster Xu said: "Fazi is so smart that he can find the best money, and he can no longer think about his acting skills."

Zhang Hehuan laughed secretly. In fact, it was not just a movie star. Now the older generation of movie stars in Xiangjiang are generally taking advantage of their past popularity to make a fortune, so how can they even focus on their acting skills?

Mu Xichun came here to repay the situation of the "Phone" schedule. The Christmas and New Year schedule is currently "Private Customization", "Police Story 2013" and "Old Cannon". If "Phone" is stuffed into this schedule, their pre-scheduled films will not exceed 5%, which is likely to be worse, which means it is not as good as the treatment of "My Savage Girlfriend" at the time, and it is likely to end up with a one-day trip.

Mu Xichun’s suggestion is to advance the schedule of "Telephone" and only in advance can we strive for more screenings.

In fact, Zhang Hehuan had the idea of ​​using "Phone" to slap "Private Customization", but if he arranged a positive PK, he might face three powerful opponents in the same period, and he would also have a situation of killing each other with "Old Cannon".

In the long run, there is no need to compete for a moment.

Zhang Hehuan smiled and said, "Sister Mu, which schedule do you think is the best?"

Mu Xichun said: "I recently contacted several theater managers and inspected the market. There were no blockbusters released in the film market in early November, and it just so happened that Halloween and Double Eleven shopping festivals were all concentrated in this period. At least in the mainland, there is no concept of Halloween schedule."

Gu Pan

Xu Ke nodded and said, "There are some horror movies in Hollywood every Halloween. Because of the holiday bonus, the box office is also good, and it is generally small-cost."

Zhang Hehuan planned to put it in Halloween when she first filmed "The Phone", but later she had the idea of ​​slapping her face because of Feng Gang's unremarkable remarks. However, as time went by, he gave up the idea of ​​acting voluntarily. Although he was founded by him, it now also represents the interests of many people. He must ensure the maximum interests of the company.

Practical actions are to choose the right schedule and seek the most schedules and the highest box office.

Zhang Hehuan said: "If you choose this schedule, how much can you get for the screening schedule?"

Mu Xichun said: "Twenty percent of the first day should be a problem. The biggest advantage of choosing this schedule is to avoid competition. For example, Wanda can also give us some care, but if it is placed in the Christmas season, they must ensure their film "Police Story 2013".

She knew the conflict between Zhang Hehuan and Feng Gang, and also knew that Zhang Hehuan had the meaning of slapping Feng Gang in the face with the "Phone", but she did not want this to happen.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Twenty percent seems not enough."

Mu Xichun said: "The main reason is that some theaters have not yet been negotiated."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Huayi?"

Mu Xichun nodded. Huayi had sent them a lawyer's letter because of the video "Telephone". It is probably not too likely that Huayi's theater chain will arrange films for them.

Zhang Hehuan took out his cell phone and found Wang Zhonglei's phone number and called directly. This is his usual way to solve the problem, straightforward.

When Wang Zhonglei heard that Zhang Hehuan asked him to help schedule the film, he couldn't help but be stunned. The first thing he thought of was "Old Cannon", because "Old Cannon" and "Private Customization" were released at the same time. At that time, there was a competitive relationship. He would definitely take care of his own "Private Customization". But then he thought, Zhang Hehuan should not be so naive that he asked such a question and asked the name of the movie. Sure enough, Zhang Hehuan came for the movie "Telephone".

Wang Zhonglei was most concerned about schedules, and Zhang Hehuan told him that he would put the movie in early November.

Wang Zhonglei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This had no conflict with their Huayi. "Private Customization" will be released until December 20th. There is a nearly fifty-day interval between them and there will be no competitive relationship.

Wang Zhonglei said: "Huanzi, it's rare to speak to me. No problem. I will give you the highest schedule of films when possible. I dare not say anything else. I can guarantee more than 20% of the schedules of films under Huayi's theater chains. I can rank you 30% on the first day. If the quality of the movie is good, I will definitely be higher than the national average."

Wang Zhonglei's words gave Zhang Hehuan enough face. Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhonglei."

Wang Zhonglei said: "Huanzi, I'm also thinking about schedules these two days. Do you think "Old Cannon" and "Private Customization" will be released at the same time? Will the fisherman benefit from the snipe and clam?"

Zhang Hehuan understood what he meant. Wang Zhonglei wanted to ease the competitive relationship. In fact, he had already proposed before, is it possible that the two movies would be a difference in time, or a few days, so that the fierce competition would be avoided on the same day.

Wang Zhonglei is also a realistic person. I will give you Zhang Hehuan a favor, do you want to give me one too?

Zhang Hehuan said: "I'm also thinking about this matter. Brother Zhonglei, I'll discuss with Huanshi to see if there is still a possibility of adjusting the schedule."

Wang Zhonglei said: "Let's do it, I'll save a game on Saturday and call Chang Zhao. Let's sit together to discuss and discuss."

Zhang Hehuan agreed in one go.

Mu Xichun was naturally relieved when she heard that Huayi had made a promise to the screening of "Telephone", but she heard that Wang Zhonglei had additional conditions and couldn't help but smile: "It's said that the Wang brothers do not do business at a loss, and it turns out that's true."

Zhang Hehuan said: "As long as you are a businessman, who is willing to do a loss-making business?"

When Wang Zhonglei received this call, he was drinking with his elder brother Wang Zhongjun and director Feng Gang. He hung up the phone and told him about Zhang Hehuan's question about him. Feng Gang grinned and said disdainfully: "This kid is pretty, but he even took the initiative to ask for a film schedule."

Wang Zhonglei said: "I promised him."

Feng Gang's face changed: "Zhonglei, what do you mean?"

Wang Zhongjun smiled and said, "Enemy should be resolved rather than made up, and we are not enemies with the New Star Domain."
