Chapter 771
The National Day holiday has just ended, and the entire National Day file is also very clear.

It is inevitable that "Heart Blossoming Road" will break one billion. After the tepid "Golden Robbery", Ning Hao finally ushered in an explosion.

The box office of several other films in the same period may not be as high as "Xin Hua Lu Fang" in the end, and they were completely swept away.

Moreover, this is also the third box office champion that Han Tang has won this year.

The Spring Festival file "The Return of the Great Sage" defeated "Havoc in Heaven", the summer file "Mystery Superstar" surpassed the highly anticipated "Transformers 4", and now the National Day file "Heart Blossoms" has swept the film.

This is the first time this has happened since the rise of the domestic film market.

Domestic private film and television companies have two peaks. From 2003 to 2006, Bernard occupied the first market share for four consecutive years, accounting for 25% of domestic films.

In 2007, when Tang An joined Huayi, he broke Berner's monopoly. That year, Huayi, the second child of Wannian, took the top spot.

Hua Yi, who owns Feng Xiaogang and Tang An at the same time, overshadowed all the film companies in the past few years. Coupled with its many first-line stars, it directly established its reputation as the number one private enterprise.

However, even if Huayi, who is in full swing, gathers the two most popular directors in China at that time, it can only dominate the summer and Lunar New Year files, and the other schedules are still lacking in competitiveness.

But now, Tang An's Hantang Media has achieved a height that no other film and television company has ever reached. In the four most important domestic schedules, Spring Festival, Summer, National Day, and Lunar New Year, Hantang has won three championships!
Although it is not yet a monopoly, whether it is Huayi or China Film, there is a big gap between Han and Tang.

As the cultural media industry, the largest company is a private enterprise, which makes Kang Pei, who is at the helm of the largest state-owned enterprise, look good.

Since the integration of China Shadow, it has always been the largest film and television company in China, the absolute boss, and now he has lost the position of industry boss, which is undoubtedly not a good thing.

Contradictions and hatred between people do not necessarily have to conflict. Han and Tang surpassed China Film to become the largest film and television company in China, and the two must be opposed.

Since taking office, China Film has relied on a large number of imported films, and its performance has been pretty good, especially the 4 billion blockbuster "Transformers 17".

However, since the Spring Festival file "Havoc in Heaven" lost to "The Return of the Great Sage", Kang Pei has never had a smooth day.

The summer file fell into the sand, making Tang An the sixth summer file champion.

The National Day file "Heart Blossoming on the Road" is about to break 7 billion, and the final weakness is far more than [-] billion. This movie theater chain is a project of China Film, but because Tang An intervened, it took [-] million guaranteed. distribution rights.

Although China Film Group made a part of the investment and made a lot of money, Hantang Media's huge income from the guaranteed success is far more profitable than these investment shares.

It can be said that the three most popular days, the Spring Festival, summer, and Lunar New Year, have reached the peak step by step on the shoulders of China Film Group.

Kang Pei always wanted to lead China Film Group back to the leading position in the industry. Although he failed one after another, he still did not give up.

After clearing out Jiang Defu, one of the most powerful hilltops in the interior, who controlled the lifeline of China Film's publicity, Kang Pei also swept away the decline in the first half of the year, and prepared to make a difference in the added time.

He also participated in the competition for the two projects of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang. After learning the lesson of losing "Heart Flower Road", he followed all the way to [-] million.

But apart from the guaranteed price, China Film has no advantage in other aspects.

Hantang Media spun off the production business of Forbidden City Films, a theater chain, and established Forbidden City Media. This company was established to bind Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, and Ning Hao. All three of them are now the second largest shareholder of Forbidden City Media. The three are tied.

And Forbidden City Media will invest in any movie of the three of them, which means that any one of them can not only get a share of the money from their own movie, but also get a part of the movie money from the other two.

Both Li and Huayi can offer similar conditions, after all, Huayi just gave Feng Xiaogang a few hundred million.

Apart from China Film's own reasons, capable directors don't want to be bound to China Film, and the cooperation is almost the same.

After all, it is a state-owned enterprise, and the interior is too complicated.

Both projects failed to win, but Wang Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" still got 10% of the investment share. After all, China Film has an advantage in theaters. There is also a big gap between Wuzhou, Sihai and China Film.

However, this has become a thing of the past, the film is still in preparation, and the National Day file is coming to an end, so Kang Pei's eyes turned to the last file of this year - the Lunar New Year file.

Although due to the rise of the Spring Festival file, the Lunar New Year file has been somewhat affected, but it is still one of the four most popular time slots, even more important than the National Day file.

The Spring Festival, summer vacation, and National Day, the three major schedules are all occupied by Hantang Media. The Lunar New Year is the last battle of the year, and Kangpei will try to be foolproof.

Even now, like an ordinary film distributor, he is carefully studying every step of the film that will be released in the Lunar New Year file.

In the morning, the director of the distribution department came in with a form to report.

"Director Kang, basically all the movies released during the Lunar New Year this year have been set, and the first part of "The Wheel of Peace" should also be set at an accurate time."

"Let me see."

Kang Pei quickly took the form, and at a glance, the release dates of dozens of movies were listed on it.

Quickly skip some less important movies and focus on movies such as "One Step Away", "Take the Tiger Mountain", "Detective Chinatown".

"Detective Chinatown 2" will be released on November 11.

"One Step Away" will be released on December 12.

"Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" will be released on December 12, the day before Christmas Eve.

At the beginning of the month, the middle of the month, and the end of the month, the divisions are very average, which is about the same as what Kang Pei expected.

The schedule of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outwitted" should be the best. After all, the second day of its release is Christmas Eve, the third day is Christmas, the fifth day is Saturday, and the sixth day is Sunday.

Sunday is the 28th again. After the first week, after three working days, it is the New Year's Day holiday, which is a perfect schedule.

However, other movies were released before that, and the money in the audience's pockets will be almost consumed. After all, there are still a small number of audiences who can watch these movies in the Lunar New Year file, and most of them just watch one or two movies.

They are all popular movies, so the ones released first will naturally have an advantage.

However, later releases also have the advantages of later releases. At that time, the film market was booming. If it was released early and the film's reputation was not good, it did not ignite the market, but it cooled down quickly.

In addition, "The Dewy Beauty" starring Liu Yufei, and "The Breakup Expert", which is somewhat similar to "The Breakup Master", will be released on November 11.

"Single Girl 2" was released on Double Eleven.

"Huang Feihong: A Hero Has Dreams" starring Peng Yuyan and Liang Jiahui will be released on November 11.

"The Year in a Hurry" starring Ni Ni and Peng Yuyan will be released on December 12.

"My Early Girlfriend" starring Zou Xun and Tong Dawei will be released on December 12.

"Little Love: Getting Better" starring Yang Ying and Chen He will be released on December 12.

In the two months of November and December, a total of more than 11 movies were released successively, with an average of one movie a day.

However, in this long list, only "Detective Chinatown 2", "One Step Away", and "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" are worthy of special attention.

If there is no accident, these three films will compete with "Taiping Wheel" for the championship of the Lunar New Year file!

Needless to say, "Detective Chinatown 2" is a new series spun off from the 囧 series, and the first one broke one billion, and this second one also has a potential of one billion.

"One Step Away" Ah Li spent one billion guarantees to snatch it from Wanda. It was also the first domestic movie with a one billion guarantee before "Mermaid", which is enough to show the potential of this movie.

Ah Li is rich, but those who are rich are not necessarily stupid and have a lot of money. They will not let their money go to waste, which is enough to show that they are optimistic about this movie.

Moreover, Jiang Wen's word of mouth was second only to Tang An after "Let the Bullets Fly". In Kang Pei's mind, "One Step Away" was an opponent no less than "Detective Chinatown 2".

As for "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", although it is directed by Xu Ke, it is really hard not to be skeptical about this subject matter.

After thinking about it, Kang Pei made a decision.

"Well, "The Wheel of Peace" will be released on December 12th, one week later than "Detective Chinatown 4" and two weeks earlier than "One Step Away"."

February 12th?
The distribution director hesitated and said, "Dong Kang, after all, "Detective Chinatown 2" has bonuses from the previous work. It's only a week later, isn't it too early, and the youth film "The Year in a Hurry" will be released on the 5th. Now This topic is on fire.”

"I've considered this too."

Kang Pei said with a smile, "There are more and more youth films following the trend, and the word-of-mouth is constantly declining. Soon the audience will experience aesthetic fatigue. "The Year in a Hurry" is nothing to fear."

Kang Pei looked down on Wang Changtian. A big company with a market value of more than 300 billion yuan knows how to make small and medium-budget films all day long, hoping to obtain high returns with the lowest risk.

There are so many cheap things, just pick up the money and forget it.

Then he said, "And the background of "One Step Away" is in the Republic of China. The characteristics of love, comedy, song and dance, adventure, and suspense can be seen in "Taiping Wheel". The audience of the two overlaps."

""Detective Chinatown" is more like a pure comedy, while "The Wheel of Peace" is a tragedy. The audience is different. Even if it is only a week apart, it will not have much impact."

"And if it's a week later, "One Step Away" will be released in the second week, and "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" will be released in the third week, which will be even more unfavorable to us."

After a lengthy analysis, Kang Pei, as the film's second largest investor and co-distributor, set a release date and was waiting to discuss it with Xiao Ma and Leshi.

Among the four billion-dollar blockbusters, "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" has an unpleasant theme, and "Taiping Wheel" has two rivals left.

Although the opponent is very strong, Wu Yusen was able to win more than 3 million box office six years ago, and Tang An only got this figure at that time.

"Taiping Wheel" is known as the Oriental Titanic, and the lineup is also extremely powerful. It has gathered popular stars from China, Japan and South Korea, just like "Red Cliff" back then!
If he faced Tang An, Kang Pei would still be a little worried, but this time it was not about defeating Tang An.

Tang An, who got 24 million at the box office six years ago, can now get 20 billion. Wu Yusen, who was only a little behind Tang An at the beginning, won more than 12 billion.

Wu Yusen's filming of this blockbuster known as the Oriental Titanic is ambitious. If he knew that Kang Pei regarded him as half of Tang An, and underestimated him so much, he would probably vomit blood.
