Chapter 309 Too Shameless (Please subscribe for the second update!)
The flowers of spring, the wind of autumn and the setting sun of winter

Depressed youth, I used to think so ignorantly when I was young

In the song of reincarnation of the four seasons, the windmill circulates every day
In the poetry of wind, flowers, snow and moon, I grow up year by year

Flowing water, it takes away time, the story changes a person
In that sentimental youth waiting for the first time
Yellowed photographs, old letters and faded Christmas cards

The songs I wrote for you when you were young are probably long forgotten.

In the screening room of Huayi Brothers Media Group, Tang An, Wang Zhongjun, and Wang Zhonglei accompanied the bosses of more than a dozen theaters to watch "The Chinese Partner".

The feature film ended when a classic old song "Story of Time" was sung. Along with the singing, photos of some business celebrities flashed slowly on the small screen.

Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Wang Shi, Li Hongyan, Laoganma, Chen Tianqiao, Cao Guowei, Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, Li Kaifu, Chen Yizhou, Gu Yongjiang, Pan Shiyi
Tang An also asked Han Sanping if he wanted to include his photo.

Although Han Sanping was a little moved at the time, he still refused with some pity.

But later Wang Zhongjun carefully selected two photos and insisted on inserting them.

As a result, Wang Zhonglei wanted to post his own photo when he found out, so that people all over the country can see his demeanor now and when he was young.

It was really shameless, how could Tang An agree, and rejected Wang Zhonglei straight away.

You know, he was too embarrassed to put his own photos in it.

The black-and-white photos full of history record the appearance of the most outstanding people in the business world when they were young, and each of them is much more energetic than most young people.

After all, there are no various games to play, no various types of teachers to teach action movies with different poses
The eyes are full of passion, and the whole person is filled with a positive atmosphere.

Coupled with the pictures next to them that were successful in their careers, either on the stock exchange or at an industry summit, each one was full of spirits and pointed out the country.

The photos took less than 1 minute, and soon the singing stopped, and the movie ended.

The expected bang bang bang did not appear, Mr. Zhao from Xingmei Cinemas sighed a long time.

"Hey!"

The expressions on the faces of the others were also similar, recalling that passing time.

"I was like this in the United States back then. I worked part-time and studied part-time. It was hard to find a temporary job. I changed three jobs in the first week. When I was fired for the third time, I walked on the street and cried. I called my parents when I couldn't do it anymore." Mr. Zhao said with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.

Realizing that he was showing his true feelings too much, he wiped his face and smiled again, "Now my son is playing in the United States all day long, and he doesn't call back for a month. I was still thinking about this when I received a call from him a few days ago. The boy finally remembered me as an old man, and it turned out that he came to ask for money."

Mr. Qian of the United Cinemas deeply agrees, "Isn't that how young people are now?"

Mr. Zheng of Dadi Cinemas nodded his head deeply.

"Everyone, let's talk about the business first."

Seeing that it was about to become a father exchange meeting, Tang An quickly changed the topic back.

It's okay to talk about other things, but he can't talk about this topic.

Wang Zhongjun also laughed and said, "Several bosses have also watched the movie, and everyone must have seen our Tang's ability, so it's up to you to arrange the movie when it's released."

"We are naturally relieved of Mr. Tang's movie. I wonder when Director Wang plans to release it?"

"Thursday, July 7th, the summer vacation begins."

On the 9th, half a month later than "Transformers 2", this is easy to handle.

The important movies this summer vacation are "Transformers 2" and "Chinese Partners". Whether it is "Eavesdropping" starring three Mesozoic stars in Xiangjiang, or "Ice Age 3" and "Harry Potter" in Hollywood The blockbusters don't have much competition.

Half a month later, when "Chinese Partner" was released, the potential of "Transformers 2" was estimated to have consumed more than half of it.

At that time, as long as there are copies, you can give as many shows as you want.

"Wang Dong, if it is released on the 9th, we can arrange more than 6% of the filming in the early stage, and give priority to supplying big cities and prime time." Xingmei President Zhao said immediately.

"We can also give more than 6%!"

"As long as Director Wang has a copy, I can fill up the sessions, starting from the lobby!"

The people in charge of several major theater chains were also proud, and they said that 60% of the filming was made, and they even shouted words that they were afraid that you would not copy enough.

The past 5 movies are enough to illustrate Tang An's ability, and even show leaps and bounds every year, so he and the others can arrange the shows with their eyes closed.

Although "Transformers" was strong and swept the global film market that year and won the annual box office championship, it was not defeated by Tang An in the mainland.

What's more, the release time of the two is separated by half a month, which perfectly staggers the period when the box office explodes, and does not affect each other.

And the quality of the movie also gave them a reassurance. In addition to the empathy with people of their age, the whole movie has some laughs, and it can also poke the tears of the audience.

And the most important thing is that this drama has no barriers for young people, and there is not too much space to describe commercial things, and young people also have a sense of substitution.

Such a movie, coupled with Tang An's appeal, is there any reason why it should not be successful!
Filming can be enough, but Huayi’s copies must keep up. There are more than 1800 movie theaters across the country and more than 5300 screens. If you want to maximize the advantages of the number of shows, the investment in film copies and digital copies is not small.

This is not a small sum.

Wang Zhongjun had already made a decision on the issue of copying. This time, unlike in the past, two competitive blockbusters were released a week apart, squeezing each other's time. There were many copies and no screenings.

Half a month after "Transformers 2" is released, it is estimated that it will be the end of the battle, so invest as many copies as possible and seize the time to reap the box office.

"1800 copies, 900 digital and [-] film!"

1800 copies!
The bosses of several theaters were taken aback.
Now there are only 1800 movie theaters in China. Even if some movie theaters have both film and digital screenings, they need to have both copies. There are also larger movie theaters that need one or two more copies in the projection hall, which is enough to occupy nearly Eighty percent of the time!

The previous largest release was just 1500 copies, and "Chinese Partner" has set a new record for the distribution scale in the Mainland this time.

However, for theaters, the more copies the better, even if they are left in a movie theater and become moldy.

After discussing for more than half an hour, we made an appointment to have a meal at noon, and the matter of publishing was considered finalized.

In the afternoon, we had another meeting at the company to discuss the publicity. The publicity department and the public relations department had already started to make plans, and they each put forward some ideas. Taobao also agreed to a two-month homepage advertisement. After all, Ma Yun is also a shareholder of Huayi. One of them.
