China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 279
On April 4, "BJ Meets Seattle" was released.

In the two days after the film was released, Youhua Entertainment mobilized a large number of contacts to mobilize and promote the film on Weibo.There is no way, there can't be too much action during this period, and "The Year in a Hurry", which has been released for 14 days, has already gained momentum and is watching eagerly from the sidelines.The crew can only expand their momentum in this way.

He Hua and Liu Yifei also made copywriting and poster promotions on their Weibo.

But obviously their worries are a bit unnecessary. Not to mention that the crew of "BJ Meets Seattle" held more than a dozen media conferences in cities across the country, and press releases were issued to everyone. As for this creative team, everyone will be worried about it. Some interest, after all, Xue Xiaolu's previous film "Love Is Not Blind" is still regarded by many viewers as a representative work of domestic love movies.

There is also the starring role of Tang Wei. The movie "Lust, Caution" really increased her popularity infinitely.

Therefore, after the movie was released, the popularity and discussion skyrocketed. The three-day box office on the first weekend was 1.13 million. The following week (4.29-5.5) included the May Day holiday, and the box office was directly recorded at 2.46 million!
It's not that the company was full of joy, after all, the results of the company's works have always been good, but everyone still had a relaxed smile on their face.

When performance is good, bosses and leaders are happy, and the people below are less stressed at work.

And according to past habits, this year’s Dragon Boat Festival gifts will definitely be indispensable. You can also look forward to the year-end bonus. Last year, the salary was 16, can it be 18 this year?
Ning Hao felt this relaxed atmosphere when he entered Youhua.

He Hua's assistant Xiao Xu took him to visit the company. He looked carefully at the company's photo album wall. Not only did the wall have promotional posters for each of Youhua's works from different periods, but also thoughtfully included the creations of the works. Team photo.

Xiao Xu followed him step by step throughout the long corridor. If he saw someone who was interested, he would go up and introduce him.

Finally arriving at the end of the corridor, Ning Hao looked at a promotional poster for "Xiu Chun Knife". There were more than a dozen small photo frames scattered around. Inside were Zhu Yawen, Huang Xuan, Wang Qianyuan, Jing Tian and others and a group of people. The group photo of people should be the production team. He asked curiously:

"Has the promotion of this movie started? How many meetings will it take?"

"Yes, we are ready to start promoting it, starting at the end of June." Xiao Xu replied.

Ning Hao nodded, but murmured in his heart: Why did you choose such a schedule? Isn't it going to compete with imported films?

That's right, "The Knife" is scheduled to be released on June 6, and "Superman: Man of Steel" will be released at the same time. It can be said to be a face-to-face fight.

In addition, Li Lianlian's "The Detective" will be released the next day. It can be said that this schedule is very unfriendly.

Youhua Company is also having difficulties, and they don't want to. At first, He Hua and Huang Lan wanted to schedule the movie to be released in early June, so that it would only be early July after "Xiu Chun Knife" was released, and they would just schedule "Super Body" Login.But I never expected that China Film Group would ask them to make way for a movie, and the reason was quite disgusting, saying, "It must be given at least a week to recover the cost."

This movie is "Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", what a stupid name.

He Hua was stunned at the time. In this age, there was still such an operation. Of course he refused.

Later, Han Sanping personally called and persuaded him before he agreed.

Han Sanping said: "You see, "Man of Steel" that we co-produced with Legend is going to be moved back, so don't complain."

So that's how it is now.

The release time of "Super Body" has also been moved to the end of the summer season. "Xiu Chun Knife" will be released on July 7. During this period, there will be three imported films released, "Return to Earth", "Pacific Rim", "Speed" and Passion 20", Youhua may not care about the former, but the latter two movies are really difficult to resist and should be avoided.

Finally, "Super Body" was scheduled to be released on August 8.

Although "Monsters University" and "Jurassic Park" (3D remake) will be released later, the pressure is obviously much less than before.

To be honest, the situation in the film market this year is much better than last year.

Last year, "Mission Impossible 4", "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2", "Alien Battlefield" and "Titanic 3D" successively dominated the Chinese film market.

This year, the Spring Festival film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" first defeated "The Hobbit".

In February and March, "101 Proposals" did not fall behind against "Les Misérables."

Recently, "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel", "Drug War", "Break Up the Contract", "The Year of Rush", and "BJ Meets Seattle" have faced off against "Special Force 3", "The Croods" and "Iron Man 3". That's evenly matched.

The most important thing is that the reputation of these domestic movies is not bad.

Some media are already exclaiming about the "rise of domestic films."

However, most people can see clearly that domestic films are still far away from the "rise". Let's wait and see when they can regain the top spot in the domestic box office rankings.

Xiao Xu took Ning Hao around before taking him to the reception room on the 18th floor.

As soon as he sat down and took a drink of water, He Hua walked in with his things.

Seeing that Ning Hao was about to stand up, He Hua waved his hand in a familiar manner: "Sit down, sit down."

Both are representatives of young directors, and they have met many times. Although they are not close friends, they can still be regarded as friends who can talk to each other. In addition, the two are fellow villagers, so the relationship goes even further.

After He Hua sat down, he didn't rush to talk and started chatting with Ning Hao directly: "What have you been busy with recently?"

"What can we do? Let's deal with it and see if we can get "No Man's Land" out." Ning Hao's face looked a little sad when he said this.

He Hua wanted to laugh when he saw him like this, but he couldn't hold it back. He smiled and said, "You didn't ask Han Sanping for help. The movie is invested by China Film Group, so he can't get some snacks."

Ning Hao glared at him angrily: "Why didn't you look for me? But those people just won't let go. What can I do?"

Han Sanping's words are not omnipotent, otherwise "The Founding of the Party" would not be censored, and Tang Wei's scenes in the play would be deleted.

It stands to reason that the limelight is over now. It has been more than two years. Why can't we let go?Ning Hao felt very sad.

Seeing that He Hua was still laughing, he said angrily: "Don't you have a notebook for me to refer to? Where is the notebook? Did you call me here just to see my jokes?"

He Hua waved his hands and suppressed the smile on his face:

"I see why you are joking. It's not like I haven't experienced it before. I remember my copy of "The Age of Awakening" was reviewed so many times. This one made me laugh, and that one said there was something wrong with the character. I wanted to change it at that time. Forget about the subject matter. I won’t get through it in the end, just stick to it, persistence is victory.”

Ning Hao didn't want to respond, so he took out a cigarette and handed one to He Hua, then started puffing away.
After chatting for a while, He Huacai handed the copy of "Detective Chinatown" to Ning Hao for him to read.

After taking it, Ning Hao felt the thickness first and said in surprise: "So many, TV drama scripts?" But that's not right, the TV drama script should be much thicker than this.

"No, the trilogy, you read it first, you read it first."

After Ning Hao opened it, he quickly fell in, and it took him an entire afternoon to look at it.

In the middle, He Hua disliked that he couldn't smoke and choked, so he simply went out and went back to the office to handle the work, letting his assistant keep an eye on him until he finished.

It was almost 6 o'clock. He Hua saw that the sky was darkening again outside the window, so he went out to take a look.

When he met Xiao Xu, he asked, "Director Ning is still inside watching?" Xiao Xu nodded.

He Hua thought for a while and said, "Then you go and make arrangements for dinner. Find an authentic copper pot to cook the meat. I'll call him."

Xiao Xu nodded in agreement and immediately called to make arrangements.

He Hua then opened the door and walked into the reception room. Although the ventilation was turned on, the air was still a little turbid at the moment.

He slapped his nose with his hand, then walked to Ning Hao, patted his shoulder and said hello:
"Okay, stop looking. It's getting late. Let's go out for a meal first and then talk after we finish the meal."

Ning Hao raised his head and looked at He Hua with bright eyes. He Hua was startled: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Ning Hao took a hissing breath, and then looked at He Hua with weird and curious eyes, as if he had gotten to know him again: "Hua Zi, did you write this?"

"Otherwise, how could it be written by you?" He Hua responded directly.

"No, I really didn't expect you to write such an interesting script."

Of course, Ning Hao has also seen He Hua's works, and he certainly knows that he is very capable. This can be seen from the early TV series that were regarded as classics, as well as the award-winning "A Dream of a Day Trip".

But he didn't expect that He Hua could write such a script, which blended suspense, investigation, and comedy very well. The style was also very different from before, as if he was a different person.

He Hua was not angry and didn't want to say more, so he just asked him to go out for dinner.

Ning Hao looked at his watch and found that it was indeed late: "Okay, let's talk while eating, let's go." He held the book of "Detective Chinatown" in his hand without letting go.

He Hua was speechless.

Assistant Xiao Xu was already waiting at the elevator, and the two of them walked into the elevator.

It happens to be off-duty time now, there are many people waiting for the elevator, and the elevators will open on every floor.

But because everyone could see the boss in the elevator, no one got in. Xiao Xu just pressed the button to close the door.But on the 16th floor, a few people stood in, not caring at all that it was the boss inside, and they were even happy to see He Hua and Ning Hao inside.

"Mr. He, Director Ning, what a coincidence, don't mind having a few more of us." Yang Mi greeted them with a smile as she came in.

He Hua looked at Yang Mi, Zeng Jia and others who had already come in and muttered in his heart: You are all in, and I ask if you mind. Do you mind if you go out?
Ning Haohan smiled and said nothing, so he said, "It's okay. I haven't seen you in the company for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?"

It was a good thing that he didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Yang Mi complained to him with an aggrieved face: "There are so many projects in the company that I can't even get."

Ning Hao glanced at He Hua secretly, guessing the relationship between the two.

He Hua didn't feel anything at all. Most of the time he was in the company and said whatever he wanted. He was used to it.So he replied directly:

"Your salary is too high, and many projects have to consider costs."

Yang Mi curled her lips, Liu Yifei's remuneration was still split from the box office, and I didn't see you saying it was high. She was used in one movie after another. She was a man's mouth, a liar, that's right.

"And I remember that last month I collaborated with Huan Rui on "Gu Jian Qi Tan". It seems that the heroine is looking for you."

At the beginning of the year, Huanrui approached Youhua Entertainment and wanted to cooperate in the development of the fairy tale drama "The Legend of Ancient Swords". Speaking of fairy tale dramas, who can compare with Tangren Film and Television? The "Fairy Sword" series is still considered by the audience to be the fairy tale. The pinnacle of chivalrous drama.However, Tangren Film and Television is now in the sunset, and the main backbone has been poached by Youhua. Therefore, even if Huanrui obtained the film and television adaptation rights of the "Gu Jian Qi Tan" game, in order to ensure the quality of the work, they still approached Yuhua Entertainment.

In addition to the reason of the creative team, there is also the fact that they have set their sights on Yang Mi and want her to reappear in the Xianxia TV series. Liu Yifei and the others dare not even think about it.

Yang Mi is now focused on taking the capital route, so after both parties agreed that she would get a certain share, she agreed without much hesitation.Another protagonist has also been selected as Chen Xiao.She thinks this TV series must be fine.

Yes, this bitch knows a lot. He doesn’t care much about TV now.Yang Mi cursed secretly.

But her face still showed the pitiful attitude of a little woman: "But I want to act in a movie."

He Hua can't help it. There are only so many projects now, and he can't conjure up many projects out of thin air.

He shrugged at Yang Mi, making an expression like he had nothing to do.

Yang Mi turned to look at Ning Hao. Her eyes looked between Ning Hao and He Hua for a moment, and she knew that there must be something going on between them.

However, the elevator also reached the parking lot on the second underground floor at this moment, so Yang Mi could only smile and chat with Ning Hao for a few words, hoping that he would consider her if he had the opportunity in the future. Her movie salary was not high.

After the two parties separated, Ning Hao hugged He Hua and asked quietly what the relationship between the two was. Does Liu Yifei know?

"It doesn't matter, so she doesn't need to know."

"Oh?"

"Damn, she knows."

"Wood grass!"

"She and I are innocent. I have nothing to hide from my girlfriend."

He Hua was so angry that he really wanted to give him a slap, thinking that everyone was having as much fun as you.

He was still a little aggrieved until the meal, and he didn't really want to find Ning Hao to direct "Detective Chinatown".

"The first part was very good, but the last two parts felt a bit boring. I think it can be changed. Take a look at Song Yi."

Okay, he is indeed more suitable as a director.

However, some things still need to be made clear in advance: "Do you still have time? Isn't "Heart Blossom Road" also in preparation?"

Ning Hao swallowed the food in his mouth and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, that movie is simple. If it doesn't work, I will ask Xu Zheng to help watch it. He has nothing to do now anyway."

He Hua nodded: "In that case, you and that sister will help me take a good look at this book."

His wife Xin Ruina is also a master screenwriter.

Let your subordinates discuss the specific cooperation treaty.
