How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 567 Chenglong is a little speechless

"Then the ones that have more box office potential and are relatively close to time are the ones scheduled in January and February of next year."

"Of course, in this schedule, as far as I know, [The Grandmaster], directed by the King of Sunglasses and starring Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Benshan, is scheduled to be released."

Zhang Nan pointed out the two schedules suitable for "Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", as well as their advantages, disadvantages and competitors.

Zhou Xingxing and Xu Zheng nodded frequently when they heard this.

Then after a moment of silence, Zhou Xingxing glanced at Xu Zheng and spoke first: "Director Zhang, [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] is the first movie I have shot on a large scale using CG special effects technology. It is now finished. It is finalized, but there may be some adjustments in the follow-up and it will take some time. The December schedule may not be too urgent, so... I want to choose the January or February schedule of next year."

This choice was similar to that of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in the original time and space. Zhang Nan had no objection, but still turned his attention to Xu Zheng and looked at his expression to show respect.

When Xu Zheng saw this, he said very politely: "Director Zhang, this is a normal comedy. After the film is finished, you can basically cut the film. It can be earlier or later, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, that's it, it's settled. [囧] will be released in December, and [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] will be released in January or February," Zhang Nan said.

Neither Zhou Xingxing nor Xu Zheng had any other opinions.

……

Not long after, two groups of people walked out of Zhang Nan's villa in Longgong Film and Television City and got into their own cars.

Xu Zheng's comedy trio finally got together and made some complaints.

"Old Xu, you should have spoken out about your schedule just now. Now you are directly facing Brother Chenglong. How can our comedy be the best!" Huang Bo took the lead in starring.

Xu Zheng clicked his tongue when he heard this, "Don't you think I didn't think of this? In terms of celebrity status and project level, our [囧] is probably not as good as Director Zhou's [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons]. The status in Director Zhang's heart is If you speak out first, you probably won't be able to argue in the end. Why don't you just watch the results honestly, otherwise you think I'm really an honest person even though I'm bald? Do you know that the relationship comes from the heart? "

"That's true."

Huang Bo's mind turned around and he nodded slightly in agreement. However, seeing that Baobao Wang remained silent, he said, "Baby, you should say something too!"

Baby Wang: "Don't talk while driving, and don't drive while talking."

"Did you remember the slogan wrong? It means don't drink while driving, and don't drive after drinking." Xu Zheng joked.

Wang Baobao replied: "I drove through Tianjin a few days ago, and the warning sign over there means this."

Xu Zheng and Huang Bo fell silent upon hearing this.

Because they had also been to Tianjin, and the signs on the road warned people to drive less and talk less.

However, after Wang Baobao's interruption, the atmosphere became much better than the previous complaints.

"December should be December. If it is released earlier, the results will be achieved sooner. There is no need to worry too much. Director Zhang also said that he will discuss it with Brother Chenglong. In the end, it should not be a direct collision. "When he said this, Xu Zheng was a little murmuring in his heart.

Without it.

In the original time and space, Brother Chenglong was still a top celebrity in the 2012s, although his box office appeal in the mainland had declined quite a bit.

This can be explained from the factual results. The original "Zodiac" has a box office of 8.81 million, close to 2 million yuan, in the mainland. It is "Let the Bullets Fly", "If You Are the One 2", and "Painted Skin ". The subsequent domestic box office movie record reached another new high.

At this time, after the eldest brother Chenglong was given a hand by Zhang Nan, his weight was naturally heavier than in the original time and space, and no one could help but be afraid of him.

……

Hong Kong.

Chenglong happened to be in the headquarters building of Yinhuang Pictures at this time, chatting with Boss Yang, the chairman of Yinhuang Pictures, about the release of "Twelve Zodiac Signs". Then Zhang Nan's phone call came.

After Chenglong hung up the call from Zhang Nan, he could only shrug and wave to Yinhuang Pictures: "You just heard the content of the call. Director Zhang wants us to postpone it a little later. What do you think about the release date of [Twelve Zodiac Signs]?”

Boss Yang of Yinhuang Pictures rolled his eyes at Chenglong when he heard this, "What do you think I think? Tell me what you think first."

"I will do whatever Director Zhang says." Chenglong said timidly.

When Boss Yang of Yinhuang heard Chenglong's words, he was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "You kid, when you signed the contract with Yinhuang, your attitude towards me was not like this. If you make any move, you have to follow me." I talked back and turned my back on you, why has it changed now?”

"Can it be the same? When I came to Yinhuang, I came in based on my own ability. Later, when I entered Hollywood, I also relied on my personal strength, but at Longbow Film and Television..."

Chenglong paused for a moment before continuing: "Boss Yang, how did I retire, then sign a contract with Longbow Film and Television, and successfully come back and transform? You must also know the process!"

Boss Yin Huangyang nodded.

In those years, he was not very optimistic about Chenglong's stardom, thinking that Chenglong would just rest on his laurels in the mainland and hang out.

But I didn't expect that as soon as Longbow Pictures launched it, it would be a box-office hit series, reviving Chenglong's stardom.

"People can compete with Warner Pictures in Hollywood, and I heard recently that they took advantage of the change of president of Warner Pictures and the fluctuation of the company's stock price to take a bite out of Warner Pictures. He is indeed an extraordinary person.”

The silver-yellow Boss Yang has been in the film and television industry for so many years and has also entered Hollywood. He must have good connections. Naturally, he can get some information about Zhang Nan and Warner Pictures on the "Voldemort 2" project, but he doesn't know much about it. As for the actual inside story, we can only make reasonable guesses based on clues.

"The [Twelve Zodiac Signs] matter..." Chenglong changed the topic to this matter again, appearing very concerned.

Without it.

The project "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was a project that he approached Yinhuang in private. The purpose was to capitalize on the popularity of "London Duel" and cash in on his own box office appeal.

It can be said that this project is somewhat stealing the box office appeal created by Longbow Pictures for Chenglong.

Zhang Nan could turn a blind eye and just accept 1500% of the million U.S. dollar salary as profit. This is already a great deal of face.

If this schedule adjustment thing can't be done, then he won't be able to work in Longbow Film and Television in the future.

"Director Zhang has come to speak so long in advance. I am a washed-up boss of Xiangjiang Pictures. How can I be so ignorant? But Aaron, see if you can help me with Yinhuang Pictures and Changgong Films if you have time." Industry is a matchmaker! I also want to experience the feeling of old trees growing new flowers." Boss Yang nodded and also changed the subject.

Chenglong was a little speechless when he heard this.

Sure enough, nothing in this world is free.

I just want to rely on Yinhuang Pictures to redeem the box office appeal I have just built up and make some money - after all, Zhang Nan's commission rate starts at 90% and the minimum is 70%. , it really hurts too much.

But you immediately want to make a lot of money through my relationship with Longbow Pictures.

But now that the busy chat has ended and the atmosphere has heightened, it would be a bit impolite to refuse directly.

"I'll give it a try. I can only try my best. As you know, Boss Yang, Longbow Pictures' projects have always been relatively exclusive, and the projects are relatively large. It's hard to get involved with fragmented funds. "Chenglong made a false promise, and then explained a bit more.

Boss Yang nodded clearly when he heard this, expressing his understanding, "As long as you say this, Uncle Yang and I will be fine."

This sentence, coupled with the tone, can be regarded as setting up Chenglong, making Chenglong quite uncomfortable.
