Chapter 541 Too much money is enough to lose (subscribe for the second update!)

"Tang An's new film will be released on July 13, 7, and it will be the first time in three years to compete for the summer film again!"

"Deng Chao and Yang Mi are teaming up again, and the hilarious romantic comedy "The Breakup Master" is coming."

"Tang An once again supported the new director. What is the difference between the military blockbuster "Wolf Warrior" and the main theme?"

"Three movies aim at the summer vacation, and the king of the summer vacation strikes again!"

"The collision of old and new giants, Hantang Media's three films besiege "Tomb Raiders Notes"!"

"The return of the king, Tang An swept the summer schedule again!"

"Can "Tomb Raider Notes" withstand the front and back attacks of "Interstellar" and "Wolf Warrior"!"

"Lu Chuan challenged Tang An again, is he repeating the same mistakes!"

"The upstart in the industry, Li Films, is besieged by established giants. Can Li Films stand out from the siege?"

As soon as Hantang Media announced the schedule of the three films, the media thought that they would definitely target Ah Li's "Tomb Raider Notes".

So all kinds of news came out. Looking at this posture, those who didn't know thought that Ah Li and Han Tang would fight to the death next year.

Although the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon" is high, there is another "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longling Misty Cave" to be released during the Lunar New Year this year, and the popularity of tomb-themed novels will rise to another level. There must be some promotion.

But the same type, especially such similar subjects, has its advantages and disadvantages.

If the filming is good, you can take advantage of the shareholders' wind and take the box office to a higher level.

But if it is too much worse than the previous two, it may have the opposite effect.

But in front of Tang An, no matter whether "Tomb Raider Notes" was shot well or not, basically no one would think that they could just pass "Interstellar".

Even if Huayi, Wanda, and Ahli work together to combine the capabilities of the three, there is not much hope.

Only unprofessional people like Zhang Wei simply think that with Wanda’s theater chain, Huayi’s first-class film and television production capabilities, the mature IP of "Tomb Raiders Notes", coupled with Ahli’s powerful publicity channels, they are qualified to compete with Tang An competed.

In fact, she was right in thinking that she was simply making a comparison.

However, no matter who Tang An faced in the past few years, whether it was a big domestic director, a famous director who returned from the United States, or a Hollywood special effects blockbuster, he never lost once.

When you succeed more times, people will not doubt whether you can succeed next time.

Winners are always successful, applicable everywhere.

After the test, you and your classmates compare the answers. You are very sure that you chose A, but if the best student in your class chooses B, you will suspect that you are wrong.

At the gambling table, if someone wins more than ten hands in a row, most people can't help but bet with him.

In the financial world, someone has invested in more than a dozen entrepreneurial companies in a row, and each investment has resulted in dozens or hundreds of times the harvest. Even if you invest in a company that everyone is not optimistic about next time, this company may become Meat and pastry.

Not to mention outsiders, Wang Zhongjun himself doesn't believe that "Tomb Raider Notes" can surpass "Interstellar".

It's just that he has a small share and leads the distribution, so he can make a fortune no matter what.

In the office, he was still discussing this matter with Wang Zhonglei.

"Tang An's new film has been confirmed, and it happens to be released in mid-July. It seems that "Tomb Raiders Notes" will be released in August."

Wang Zhongjun sighed. Generally, blockbuster movies won't have much impact every half a month at most. By then, the box office explosion has passed.

But in the past two years, the trend of Tang An's movies has become more and more stable, and at least they have to be postponed for three weeks, or they will have to be suppressed.

"By the way, have you figured out the situation of "Wolf Warrior"?" Wang Zhongjun asked again.

Wang Zhonglei nodded, "There's nothing complicated about this film. The Nanjing Military District Art Troupe and Tang An invested in it, and Wu Jing also invested partly. The Nanjing Military District will sponsor the equipment, and it's really a 3D real shot, not a remake."

"The movie invested by the army should be the main theme movie. There is nothing to worry about. We will also release "Tomb Raider Notes" on August [-]."

Military war films, this type of film may sell at the box office if any big director plays it, but Wu Jing, Wang Zhongjun is not worried at all.

The more unpopular the movie, the more it needs the box office appeal of the director and star. First, some fans will be fooled to watch it. If the movie is of good quality, it can also attract other audiences into the movie theater with its super high reputation.

For military movies, 80% of the audience will shake their heads when they hear this theme, and the rest of the audience will stop after watching the main creation and trailer.

Try a new director for "Assembly". The audience will not want to watch it after seeing the theme and title of the film. There is no chance of word-of-mouth marketing. Besides, it is useless if there is no big company to release it in that era.

"That's fine, I'll discuss with Wanda and Ah Li and fix the schedule." Wang Zhonglei nodded.

Although Tang An arranged for "Wolf Warrior" to be released on August [-]st to block "Tomb Raiders Notes", but this time the theme and director are hard to convince others, unless he directs it himself.

"Tomb Raiders Notes" was released on August [-]st. Song Ge, the general manager of Wanda Films, had no objection. This time the investment and distribution were jointly made by the three companies, but the production and distribution were still dominated by Huayi. After all, the two of them did not have a team No publishing experience.

But on Ah Li's side, there was opposition.

"I disagree. August 8st is too late, and July 1th is just right. It will be half a month away from "Interstellar", so it won't have any impact." Zhang Wei retorted.

"Mr. Zhang, there is still a whole month's holiday for the release on August 8, which is enough. We don't need to fight to lose both." Wang Zhonglei persuaded.

Losing to both sides is a good way to say it. If Wang Zhonglei really wants to be more straightforward, if "Tomb Raiders Notes" hits head-on, the expected 10 billion box office will definitely be lost. It is estimated that 30% will be cut off, and it will be about 7 million.

Zhang Wei shook her head, "I've studied the domestic box office trends over the years, and the popular summer slot can accommodate two billion-dollar movies at the same time. For example, last year's Lunar New Year file, "The Martian" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Jinling" "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" was released 14 days later, and the combined box office of the latter two is exactly 13 billion."

Zhang Wei also did a lot of homework to take up the post of Ahli Pictures.

Originally, I was doing investment, and I was more sensitive to numbers.

Taking last year’s Lunar New Year as an example, the monthly box office in December was close to 12 billion. As a summer holiday that is as popular as the Lunar New Year, the total box office in July should also be around 25 billion.

The capacity of 25 billion is enough for two movies to be divided up. Apart from two Hollywood blockbusters, no other movies were released during the same period.

Wang Zhonglei was also speechless, and it was too tiring to talk to laymen.

I don’t know anything, so I’ll just show you the data. Zhang Wei even calculated the box office trend of “Interstellar” roughly. The approximate box office of each day in the first three weeks can be calculated for you.

God knows that the filming of the film has not yet started, the schedule of the film has not been confirmed, and the pre-promotion has not started, so what kind of basis is used to calculate it.

However, Wang Zhonglei has never seen such a person. He has basically done Huayi's public relations in the past ten years, and he has seen a lot of capital from all walks of life.

The early coal bosses, leaders of banks and governments, finance, Internet, real estate, and venture capital have met so much that they can't figure out who they are.

Even Tang An, Wang Zhonglei entertained him a lot when he was in Huayi. We enjoyed receptions, events, and parties together quite well.

But at the end of the day, he ran away without saying a word, without any omen, and it was considered a failure.

Wang Zhonglei talked all kinds of things, and persuaded Zhang Wei to agree to set the schedule on August 8st.

Just like that, if you come to the film and television industry, you will die every minute.

That is to say, relying on a lot of money and strong capital, it is enough to lose, let alone a "Tomb Raider Notebook", losing five or six is ​​right.

If you want to change to another company, it will be fatal.

Wang Zhonglei left Ahli Pictures and shook his head.

It is unreliable to fight against the Han and Tang Dynasties together with Ah Li. At most, use Ah Li's publicity channels and Wanda's line selection.
