Chapter 648 Each has his own thoughts (please subscribe for the first update!)
After solving the biggest problem, the next thing is harmony as always.

Now that we have talked about coordinating schedules and film scheduling, Kang Pei can't just mention Hantang Media. The films that will be released during the Spring Festival are all planned.

Before the Spring Festival, the films with some box office potential are "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Adventures of Pegasus", "Despicable Me 2", and "Bears: Bears". The rest are basically just passing through .

The main distributors of the four films are Huayi, China Film and Leshi.

During the Spring Festival, there are "Where Are We Going, Dad", "Omen", "The Return of the Great Sage", and "Havoc in Heaven"

The main distributors of the first two films are Guangxian and Bernard respectively, while "The Return of the Great Sage" is jointly distributed by Hantang Film Group, Hengdian Film Group, and Wuzhou Distribution.

"Havoc in Heaven" was jointly released by Xinghao's Anjina, China Film, and Wanda.

Nowadays, the more blockbuster the film, the more and more distributors, and even the joint distribution of many large companies can fully stimulate the box office potential.

For example, "Havoc in Heaven" is the three distributors, but there are several other companies that replaced the investment with promotional resources worth 6000 million yuan, plus 8000 million publicity and distribution costs. The publicity cost should be 1.4 million.

More and more resources are needed, and there are more and more investors and issuers.

After the Spring Festival, on February 2th, the day before the lover's knot, "Love Story in Beijing" released by Hantang Media will be released.

The Spring Festival file half a year later will basically consist of these seven movies. By the end of February, there will be two Hollywood movies released, as well as some low-budget movies.

"Next year's Spring Festival and New Year's period, four movies will be released one day apart, and everyone will compete fairly. This is what the leaders mean. Don't mess up a good year."

After more than an hour of discussion, Kang Pei said with a smile, looking in a good mood.

"Yes, harmony makes money, don't make it a mess."

Wang Zhongjun smiled. Anyway, the Spring Festival has nothing to do with him. His main goal is to be in the National Day and Lunar New Year. Before the Spring Festival, there is only one "Pleasant Goat".

"That's it, leave everything to the market." Tang An nodded.

As for fairness, of course it is impossible to decide on the box office to decide which film to line up, it's all about strength.

If you don't touch the bottom line and don't break the law, it's fair enough.

Like leaking the source of the film, the source of "囧囧 in Thailand" was leaked by the original Time and Space, and it was still on Blu-ray.

Negative marketing and troll smearing are all within a fair range.

Which movie will have no flaws, no place to attack, nonexistent.

With sufficient preparations, Hengdian, Wuzhou, and Hantang Film Group will jointly release the film, which is no different from the combination of Anjina, China Film, and Wanda.

Offline terminals may be a bit worse. China Film Group and Wanda, especially Wanda’s other three allies, account for more than half of the country’s theater chains.

But on the online terminal, Nuomi Movie is definitely a huge advantage, not to mention that it also has an advantage in online promotion channels.

Besides, whether the other three publishers of Universal Publishing will contribute is another matter, after all, it is Wanda's own publishing.

Moreover, Four Seas Distribution has not released any decent movies since its establishment, and Wanda's production capacity is just like that.

On the contrary, before the release of Wuzhou, it had shared a lot of profits from the two films "Journey to Hong Kong" and "The Breakup Master", which not only stabilized the alliance of the five companies, but also proved the ability of Wuzhou to the outside world. Quite a few movies.

In contrast, the alliance issued by Four Seas may break at any time, and it will be useless without interest protection.

The quality of the film is in place, there is no shortage of potential audiences, the publicity is strong enough, and there are a lot of film schedules. Basically, it is stable, unless this version of "Havoc in Heaven" can be shot well.

However, Zheng Baorui, a director who is good at horror and thriller themes, is very unlikely to be able to shoot such a big scene well.

Tang An was full of confidence, and so was Kang Pei.

In his opinion, a castrated "gambling movie" "Omen", a variety show movie, and an unknown animation movie are not enough of a threat at all.

The three stars in "Havoc in Heaven" alone are enough to overshadow other movies in the same period. The last time such a strong lineup was assembled was a few years ago.

As soon as he took office, there was a movie that hit the box office, and it was expected to hit one billion. It was definitely a good start!

Wang Zhongjun just released "Pleasant Goat". This film is nothing worth worrying about. People who watch it will watch it, and those who don't watch it will never watch it. There is basically no risk, and there is no possibility of a big hit.

Yu Dong had nothing to worry about. The cost of "Omen Wind and Cloud" was not very high, and Omen Sun Entertainment, one of the investors, provided the venue for free.

With the title of "God of Gamblers 3", it always attracts a large number of audiences into the cinema.

Everyone is very confident, but Wang Changtian who released "Where Are We Going, Dad" is not so optimistic.

The filming of this film has not started yet, and we have to wait until the variety show is finished before filming begins.

And according to Tianyu and Blue Flame, they don't plan to follow the format of a movie, but a reality show movie, and shoot it in the form of a documentary. It is estimated that the filming can be completed in ten days. There are not many materials and the editing is fast.

Even Wang Changtian felt that it was unreliable. The fiasco of the big movie "The Voice" was still vivid in his memory, and it only sold 300 million at the box office.

Besides, "The Voice" was a big hit before, and the variety show "Where's Dad?" is still being filmed.

Tianyu and Blue Flame were also crazy about money, and wanted to make a fortune right away after the variety show aired.

Ye Tuo was a little confused, "Havoc in Heaven" was released by Wanda, and "Love Story in Beijing" was invested by Wanda.

Although there was a gap of two weeks between releases, "Beijing Love Story" was released in Han and Tang Dynasties after all.

Tang An snatched the distribution rights of the film with a guarantee of 3 million yuan. If Wanda gave support in the arrangement of the film, if the box office exceeded 3 million yuan, wouldn't it be cheaper for Tang An.

If Wanda deliberately refused to arrange the film, Wanda would have no loss, anyway, it would get the guarantee fee.

But how other investors look at it, there must be opinions.

Wanda's film and television production capabilities are not strong in the first place, and it is difficult to get the leading position in cooperation with large companies, so it needs the cooperation of second-tier companies.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and the meeting ended harmoniously
After that, Tang An approached Han Sanping.

But before he could ask, Han Sanping spoke first, "He told me about this incident today, probably because he wanted to set up WeChat."

"Isn't this just what you want?" He smiled and sat down.

Tang An also sat down on the sofa and shook his head, "That's different. If I take the initiative to say it, maybe he still owes me a favor, but now I'm being forced to give in."

"You are good at calculating, you can earn favors even if you achieve your goals."

Han Sanping shook his head, noncommittal.

Tang An was puzzled, "Han Dong, what do you say?"

"At first, I thought you wanted to have a good relationship with him. Many people have already taken action."

Han Sanping shook his head with a smile, and said, "However, I'm wrong after thinking about it carefully. In the past ten years, you have never voluntarily backed down. In the past, "Transformers" and "Red Cliff" were released by China Film Group, and you have never backed down. .”

One emperor and one courtier, although Han Sanping and Kang Pei are not the leaders of major companies, they represent Optoelectronics, so they are half of the leaders.

When a new official takes office, it is normal for someone to want to curry favor with him. It is estimated that the senior management of several major companies will go around. There is nothing wrong with Tang An showing his favor at this time.

However, Han Sanping carefully recalled Tang An's behavior style in the past ten years. He has been crushing the films of China Film Group for many years, and never gave in once.

At that time, Hua Yi insisted on talking about the past, but 10 years later and nearly three years later, many of Hantang Media's films were matched with China Film's films.

Facing the incumbent chairman of China Film Group, he didn't show any kindness. Instead, he snatched the distribution rights of "Heart Flower Road Fang" that had been negotiated to be distributed by China Film Group.

"Heart Blossoms on the Road" is invested by China Film, and the director Ning Hao is also supported by Han Sanping, so the publisher will not be the second one.

What's more, when China Film and Beijing Culture offered a guaranteed high price of [-] million yuan, Tang An didn't save face.

Facing himself, the current chairman of China Film Group, Tang An didn't even show his good intentions, and he had to fight, let alone Kang Pei who hadn't taken office yet.

Han Sanping probably understood that Tang An was originally going to release "The Return of the Great Sage" during the Spring Festival, and "Detective Chinatown 2" which is currently being filmed must have found another date.

As for the reason, it is estimated that they want to take advantage of the shareholder wind of Journey to the West to drive the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Otherwise, there are bolder ideas.

Although he didn't quite believe it, Han Sanping couldn't help asking Tang An's incredible success in the past few years.

"Tell me, can "The Return of the Great Sage" really beat "Havoc in Heaven"?"

Tang An was a little surprised, "Han Dong, what you said, the lineup, momentum, and cost of "Havoc in Heaven" are much higher than "Havoc in Heaven". It would be a miracle if we could win."

Han Sanping knew it, and smiled, "I don't know you yet, and no one has ever asked you to back down. Tell me, there is no outsider."

Was it so easy to see through?

Tang An thought about it for a while, and there should be no flaws.

But since he saw it, Tang An didn't hide it.

"From a director's point of view, I think this version of "Havoc in Heaven" will not be successful, Donnie Yen is not suitable for Monkey King, Zheng Baorui has never controlled such a large crew, this is not comparable to his filming in Xiangjiang."

"Of course, there are also special effects. If the special effects of 3800 million US dollars are done carefully, the effect will be good. Let's not talk about how much Zheng Baorui knows about special effects. Just talk about the selection of special effects in "Havoc in Heaven". As far as I know, there are hardly many actual scenes, right? "

Tang An picked up a little bit of analysis.

"Zheng Baorui is indeed inexperienced, but there are several professional American producers to check."

Han Sanping first denied a point, and then said, "The background is indeed a model + CG method. The main reason is that it is difficult to find places that meet the requirements, but I have seen the drawings and the drawings are not bad."

"Whether the picture is good or not doesn't have much reference. "Havoc in Heaven" is a live-action movie, all using models + CG, which will inevitably lead to background distortion."

Tang An shook his head, "Even if it's "Avatar", Cameron didn't dare to make all the backgrounds in CG. No matter how good the rendering is, it is also easy to be distorted. Most of the exterior scenes are real scenes, so they are so real."
