Zhang Hehuan sighed in her heart, "Happiness is really a mess." It's me who produces it, but it depends on me when I pass the review, and now it's really up to me to schedule the films!"

"At least 25%, don't look at this 25%, we are likely to use this 25% screening to win the Japanese championship, and successfully maintain this daily championship and maintain the New Year's Day period. We basically succeeded more than half of it."

Chang Zhao was moved. The temptation of the Japanese championship is still very great. If "Old Cannon" premiered on the 20th, it would be difficult to win the Japanese championship under the premise of being behind the schedule. It is very likely that it will be suppressed by the other two films throughout the whole process, avoiding its edge and taking the lead later is a good strategy.

Although I already agreed with Zhang Hehuan’s idea, I still sighed: “Now the Christmas box office is booming every year, and it’s a pity to give up.”

Zhang Hehuan said: "Of course this is just my personal opinion. The final decision is in your hands. We are mainly responsible for the production."

"Old Cannon" was finally announced to be scheduled for 12.27, which was seven days later than the scheduled premiere. Don't underestimate these seven days, which means that the movie completely withdraws from the competition for Christmas. Although there are different voices inside Huanshi, it believes that the quality of "Old Cannon" is very high and can compete with the other two films, but the disadvantages of filming are extremely realistic.

The remake of "New Longmen Inn" has begun. Because it is necessary to make a technical work, the post-production will be very long, unless it is 2D shooting and 3D conversion in the later stage, so that it can be achieved through the Spring Festival period.

After discussing with Mr. Xu, Zhang Hehuan decided to either not do it or do it as the best thing to do, and give up the idea of ​​the release of this film during the Spring Festival. In order to have sufficient preparation time, Mr. Xu proposed the idea of ​​delaying the startup. The film is tentatively scheduled to start in March next year, so that Quan Zhixian's schedule can be coordinated.

Zhang Hehuan did not give up the idea of ​​a film released during the Spring Festival. Just as he was thinking about how to produce a heavyweight work in a short time, the Centurion system pushed him a beast-taught card.

The last time I got this card was in Han County. Because of this animal-taught card, Zhang Hehuan recalled a movie he liked in the past.

——"I Am Legend", a movie starring Will Smith in 2007. Star Media once bought the domestic remake rights, but the movie did not appear in this parallel world.

Zhang Hehuan decided to use it.

The story is not complicated - in 2032, humans were infected by unknown viruses, and New York became an empty city. The hero is a scientist serving the military and a survivor who is immune to the virus. During the day, he took his dogs to search for food on the streets, used radio to find survivors, and studied cures for viruses in the laboratory; at night, he could only hide in the house, and those who did not die because of the virus, became "night demons" and could only come out to move at night, lose their minds, and attack everyone.

One day, his beloved dog also died of viruses, and the male protagonist fell into unprecedented loneliness. When he was about to die with the "Night Devils", another survivor, Anna, saved him. Anna believes that there are survivors in the isolation area on the mountain, but the stubborn male protagonist insists on staying in New York.

Another night, the "Night Demon" attacked the male protagonist's residence. At this time, his research had been successful, but only by persisting until dawn can humans survive and continue.

Zhang Hehuan liked this movie in the past and always wanted to remake it into a domestic version. Although the copyright was taken down, something happened to him before the filming started.

Now this wish is just fulfilled. The difference is that he never thought of starring himself in the past. With the help of the centurion system, his acting skills have also soared. There should be no problem with starring in this movie.

The reason why I chose this script is that this movie does not require mobilization of too many actors. Most of the time it is a one-man and a dog. Originally, animal actors were difficult to shoot, but now that he has a beast-taught card, all problems will naturally be solved.

Zhang Hehuan handed the script to Xu Ke. Xu Ke was very excited after watching it overnight. He thought the script of this movie was more solid and challenging. Although it was a sectarian science fiction film, because it was basically a one-man show, the scene special effects were not too large. Moreover, Zhang Hehuan set the tone from the beginning to shoot it in 2D, which reduced the overall difficulty a lot.

It can be said that in this film, the male protagonist's performance is extremely important, and it can be said that he supports a drama with his own strength.

After the two negotiated, they decided to shoot this movie first, and with the support of computer stunts, the filming of this movie can be completed in up to three months, and the Spring Festival is in full swing.

When Zhang Hehuan was busy filming "I am a Legend", the promotion of "Phone" in China officially began.

This low-cost movie did not win much attention at the beginning. Zhang Hehuan's initial promotional strategy was to play Huayi, hype topics related to "Mobile Phone", and even went to court to gain the greatest attention with the smallest investment.

However, the improvement of private relationship with Huayi made Zhang Hehuan give up this approach of taking the wrong path. After internal discussions in the company, they joined hands with Wangchunfeng Media to publish news in an orderly manner.

——"Telephone" is scheduled to be launched on Halloween, and the New Star Domain has opened the domestic Halloween period.

——An Ran once again played the leading heroine after "My Savage Girlfriend", and the Asian box office masterpiece has come again.

——The Phone was popular before it was released, and major film and television companies around the world have sent olive branches to compete for the right to remake.

——At the internal movie watching conference held in Beijing, all the movie big Vs praised the phone at the intersection, without any bad reviews.

...

Anyway, he just blows it into the big picture. Zhu Wei is best at this.

The more you blow it, the more outrageous it becomes.

——The low-cost movie "The Phone" decided to go to Cannes, and its excellent reputation is expected to win the Palme d'Or.

——The Academy Awards are about to open. Can "Phone" win a little golden man on behalf of our country?

The layman can’t understand, but the insider can see it clearly. The hype, naked hype, and the Oscar best foreign language film, you don’t even get the shortlist. What’s the point of winning the Little Golden Man?

Although the promotion of "Telephone" is quite strong, the effect is average. The popularity of the movie has never increased. From the launch of publicity to mid-October, it has not even entered the top 20 hot searches.

The last time I entered the hot search was because Huayi sent them a lawyer letter, which proved that sometimes it was better to scold me than to praise me.

Mu Xichun has been running film schedules for this period. Because this schedule is relatively deserted, there is no fierce competition in film schedules. In addition, Zhang Hehuan has postponed the postponement of "Old Cannon" and won the support of Huayi Cinema. As for Wanda Cinema, Qiao Shengtian took the lead.

According to Mu Xichun's estimate, the first day of "The Telephone" can be scheduled to be about 28%, which is quite amazing for a small-cost movie.

The promotion of "Telephone" also attracted Huanshi's attention. After learning about Huanshi's strong support in filming, Huanshi CEO Chang Zhao was quite angry and believed that the reason why Zhang Hehuan suggested that "Lao Cannon" was postponed by one week was to exchange for "Telephone". "Lao Cannon" was produced and distributed by them, and "Telephone" was the biological son of Xinxingyuan.

Chang Zhao complained in front of Zhang Yimou for this matter, complaining that Zhang Hehuan's behavior was very selfish and too much. Lao Mouzi did not think that Zhang Hehuan was too much. As a director, he basically did not interfere in the promotion and scheduling of films, but he believed that it would be no different if he was released one week later, and no one could take up all the advantages.

Avoiding head-on confrontation is a good thing.

Chang Zhao was still so calm when he heard the news, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Director Zhang, aren't you angry?"

Zhang Yimou asked, "Why are you angry?"

"Did I not understand enough? Zhang Hehuan proposed that "Lao Paoer" was postponed because he exchanged interests with Huayi and exchanged the postponement of "Lao Paoer" for the screening of "Telephone". This is an act of harming the public and benefiting the private sector! This is irresponsible to our partners and irresponsible to the movie."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Xinxingyuan is one of the producers of "Lao Cannon". They have invested a lot of money. Do you think he is irresponsible for his investment?"

"But "Telephone" is exclusively produced by their New Star Domain, just like the biological son and the adopted son, he certainly has to focus on one."

Zhang Yimou said: "As far as I know, Xinxingyuan's investment in "Laopaoer" is much higher than that in "Telephone". He should focus on the one who invests more."

Chang Zhao said: "This kid is very smart. Last year, the small-budget youth romance film "My Savage Girlfriend" killed several blockbusters without leaving behind."

Zhang Yimou was a little unhappy. What this means is that the box office of "Old Cannon" cannot beat "The Phone"? Zhang Yimou said: "Mr. Chang attaches so much importance to costs now?"

Chang Zhao realized that his words had caused Zhang Yimou's displeasure and smiled and said, "Huanshi has no upper limit on investment in director Zhang's movies. By the way, how are the Global "Great Wall" thinking about it?"

Zhang Yimou said: "If it is the current script, I don't want to film it, I'm waiting for the second draft of the script."

Chang Zhao said: "In fact, most Hollywood popcorn blockbusters are inseparable from monsters. I think you should also try it from multiple sources, and you need box office to be art."

Zhang Yimou said: "Mr. Chang means that my box office is not good?"

"Haha, I don't mean that..."

"I Am a Legend" is not without female characters. The only female character in it has few roles. Zhang Hehuan chose Wen Yongshi to play this time. Although Wen Yongshi has similar roles to An Ran in "The Phone", public opinion is more concerned about An Ran rather than her.
Chapter completed!
