Chapter 715 2014 Annual Meeting
"Chairman, the final list of the Four Little Stars will be announced on the [-]rd of this month. Now the national media voting is still in progress. Our Xiaoai, Erdi, Qingzi, Xiaoying, Mina, Dongyu, and Nini of Xiahua Film and Television There is hope for others to be selected.”

On the morning of February [-]rd, in the conference room of Xia Hua Film and Television, Zhou Xia and the company's senior executives and important directors were having their annual meeting.

After Zhou Xia asked about the specific situation of the four little Huadans, Yang Tianzhen sat upright and reported to Zhou Xia.

"Okay, in about ten days, the students all over the country will be on winter vacation, and "Little Times" will be released. It may not be a good thing for the leading actors of this drama, Xiao Ai, Qingzi, and Mina to be selected as the four little female roles. It must be done in advance. Good PR."

Zhou Xia thought of the "Tiny Times" series of movies. While constantly creating box office records, they were also criticized by various critics in the circle. Both the director and the leading actors were criticized.

The selection of the Four Little Stars is mainly based on the votes of domestic mainstream media journalists, and the weight of online voting data is quite small, so this is not a good thing for Xiao Ai and others.

"Okay, chairman, you must make preparations in advance." Yang Tianzhen hurriedly wrote it down.

Zhou Xia had commented on this movie long before it was shot, and the company's senior management knew about it, and they all understood what he said just now.

"Mr. Zhang, go ahead and talk about the coordination and arrangement of this year's movie schedule." Zhou Xia looked at Zhang Zhao, who was sitting first on the left row of the conference table.

Just now he mentioned that "Tiny Times" will be released soon, he interrupted the other party, and now the meeting will continue.

""Little Times" will be officially released on the 2th, and "The Breakup Master" will be released on the 14th of the end of the month. These are the two movies released by the company in January; "Predecessor" will be released on Valentine's Day on February [-]th, and only this movie will be released in February. .

In March, April, May, and June, several literary films are mainly scheduled to be released. "Fireworks in the Day" has been selected into the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival; "Return" has been submitted to the Cannes Film Festival; At the film festival, the three participating films will arrange specific schedules according to the changes of the film festival.

In addition, "Quiba [-]" and "Qin Shi Mingyue" will be released around Children's Day.In addition, the movie version of "Star You" should be released in these few months, otherwise, the company will have about [-] movies to be released in the next summer and the second half of the year, and the schedule is really difficult to coordinate. "

Zhang Zhao stopped here, wanting to hear what Zhou Xia meant.

Zhou Xia frowned and pondered. Two movies released in a month, for Xia Hua, it was a battle between left and right. It would have an impact on the movies released, but it was still acceptable.

But if there are [-] movies in the second half of the year, then there will definitely be movies in the summer, National Day, Lunar New Year, and the next Spring Festival.

"Don't talk about the movies that haven't started shooting yet, or the ones that are being shot, so how many movies will be released in the second half of the year." Zhou Xia looked up at Zhang Zhao.

"The first and second parts of "Sword and Sword", "Tiny Times [-]", "Wolf Warrior", "The Expendables [-]", "Pacific Rim", "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "The Return of the Great Sage", and "Monster Hunt" The films have basically been produced and will be released this year."

Zhang Zhao didn't look at the report in his hand, and said directly to Zhou Xia.

"The second half of the nine movies, that's a little bit better."

Zhou Xia murmured and said, "Monster Hunt, The Return of the Great Sage, and Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven can be held back a bit later and released in the Spring Festival next year. These three movies are most suitable for that schedule. .

As for the upper part of "Sword of Heaven", it will be released in the summer, and the second part will be released on the New Year's day. For "Wolf Warrior", it is best to arrange it in the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day; .The rest of "Little Times [-]" is also arranged for summer vacation, so let's roughly arrange it like this first. "

"Okay." Zhang Zhao marked on the document with a pen.

What Zhou Xia said was similar to what he had agreed with the company's publicity department. They are also top talents in the industry. Over the years, they have become more experienced in film publicity and scheduling. Without Zhou Xia's guidance, they would have done well. .

"What about the other movies that are still in production or filming?" Zhou Xia asked Zhang Zhao directly without opening the file.

The documents in his hand were full of nonsense and listed a lot of detailed data, so Zhou Xia didn't bother to read them carefully.

"What's left is "Ruffian, Actor, Cook" and "Heavenly Lion" have been filmed for more than half, "Heart Flower Road", "Embroidered Spring Knife", "Hong Kong Jiong", and Chairman, "Descendants of Yanhuang" ", also started filming around the Spring Festival, if it is going to be released before the end of this year, it also needs to arrange a schedule."

Zhang Zhao looked down at the report in his hand, and quickly replied.

"There are quite a few. In this way, if the films that cannot be completed before October are scheduled to be released next year, there is no need to be so anxious. If our own films run into obstacles, we will lose in the end."

Zhou Xia didn't think too much, and said immediately.

"Excluding "Monster Hunt", "The Return of the Great Sage", and "Journey to the West" which will be released during the Spring Festival, this year is equivalent to six fewer films than previously expected, and a total of [-] films will be released."

Zhang Zhao heard Zhou Xia's decision and confirmed him again.

"Well, that's it. It's good to keep [-] movies released every year, that's it. The TV drama department, this year there will be those high-quality dramas and important projects that will be launched."

After talking about the basics of the film department, Zhou Xia looked at Hou Hongliang, the director of the TV drama department next to him, who also served as the vice president of Xiahua Film and Television.

After Hou Hongliang and the Dongyang Noon team he would have established were recruited by Zhou Xia with a lot of money, they have produced many high-quality dramas for Xia Hua Film and Television in the past two years.

Zhou Xia usually rarely asks a few departments, and occasionally just reads the report and makes some comments on some important projects.

At the company's annual meeting, of course he also simply asks about important projects.

"Chairman, "All Quiet in Peking", which is about to be filmed, is our most promising high-quality drama this year. In addition, "Sou Shen Ji [-]", a fairy-tale drama, and the online drama "Tomb Raider Notes [-]" will also be broadcast. Today's key productions include "Sou Shen Ji [-]", "A Thousand Bone Flowers", and the historical spy drama "The Pretender"..."

Hou Hongliang seriously introduced Zhou Xia, who has always supported his work, never put pressure on him in terms of production costs and profit returns, and has always supported him in making high-quality dramas.

"Oh, have the specific protagonists of "A Thousand Bone Flowers" and "The Pretender" been chosen?" Zhou Xia immediately asked with interest. The first part of "Sou Shen Ji" was filmed last year, and he knew the actors.

"Cast casting has not started yet. The directors of the two films will invite the company's main artists to try out costumes and plays."

"Okay, okay, just arrange it yourself." Zhou Xia originally wanted to make some comments, but thinking that this was at the annual meeting, he stopped talking.

Next came reports from other departments. Zhou Xia listened carefully and put forward some opinions appropriately.

Now Xiahua Film and Television has a lot of talents in various departments, and has already formed a complete talent system, as well as the project development and operation process.

There are many things that don't need to be pointed out by Zhou Xia, the hacker. Take the variety show department as an example. It was reported just now that "The Masked Singer" and "Happy Comedian" are all developed by them.
