The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 14
"He forced him to be strong, and the breeze blows the hills." In the editing room, facing the violent old Comrade Wang, Wang Wei replied pretentiously.

Wang Chuanqi stared: "It's easy for you to say, so how can we get more film arrangements?"

Wang Wei asked the editor to stop his work and rest for a while before he said to the old Wang: "Otherwise, what do you want to do? The money in your pocket counts as a waste, and you can compare it to a local tyrant whose hair is thicker than your thigh when you follow him." ?”

Wang Wei is also a little numb at this point.

The times are different, and it's really not something you can look down on sentient beings if you're well-informed.

For example, he is more familiar with Internet marketing, Nima, now is the era of portal websites, what tricks can you play?
The mainstream marketing methods these days are either using the celebrity's own popularity to gain exposure for the film, or spending money on advertising bombing on traditional media channels such as TV networks.

"Peking Holiday" doesn't rely on both ends.

There is no reputation; if you spend money, you can't beat the real local tyrants.

It is precisely this that makes Wang Chuanqi even more upset, it is great to spend money.

Instead, Wang Wei, who was younger than him, remained calm: "Old Wang, I think you made a mistake. We don't need to compete with Tang Yu."

"Schedule collisions belong to collisions, but obviously, everyone's themes are completely different. One is a popular action movie, and the other is a romantic light comedy. The audience is different. I think, instead of focusing on Tang Yu, you might as well take a look at the same What are the homogeneous competitors in the schedule."

To put it bluntly, Wang Wei has always regarded Luo Jianzhou's targeting as a joke.

Unless "Peking Holiday" is rotten, or Luo Jianzhou's new film is amazing, otherwise, you are richer, you are more powerful, so what, you can still occupy the screens of the whole country?

It is true that there are only so many screens, and if he occupies more, others will occupy less, but——

"Based on our subject matter, how much do you want to occupy? And our investment is only so much. If we make good use of the number of screens we can win, it will be enough to recoup our capital and even make a profit." Wang Wei laughed.

Wang Chuanqi was silent, and after a long while, he laughed: "I'm really a little dazed."

Unknowingly, he fell into the context of going to a showdown with Tang Yu.

But Wang Wei was right, he really thought too much.

Although he hasn't seen the finished film of "Peking Holiday", judging from the samples shot earlier, it can't be a bad movie.

As for whether Luo Jianzhou's new film will be supernatural, he has no way to intervene. If it is really supernatural, he can only admit it.

Anyway, the total budget of "Peking Holiday" is less than 1000 million, and as long as the box office exceeds 3000 million, the film can be declared a great success.

With Dunhuang's current distribution capabilities, it is not difficult to achieve this goal as long as it is properly publicized.

In the final analysis, Dunhuang's top priority is not to fight against anyone, but to break the curse of "no film of its own is successfully released".

Otherwise, is it true that Wang Wei can't make a big movie?
—Well, he couldn't get it out.Not to mention whether his current ability can support a blockbuster movie, but with the investment scale of a blockbuster movie, he would not risk it to a rookie if he killed Lao Wang.

After changing his mentality, Wang Chuanqi was not in a hurry anymore, and asked casually, "Is the post-production going well?"

Wang Weilue yawned: "The first cut is almost finished."

At this time, the benefits of holding power are reflected.Wang Wei, who is both a director and a producer, does not need to compete with anyone for editing power, and no one tells him what to do. He can edit whatever he wants, and the progress is naturally not slow.

"So fast!!?"

This was obviously beyond Lao Wang's expectations.

In his experience, the pain begins when a new director enters the editing room.

"If you cut this, I'll fight you. Do you know how difficult it was when we shot this shot?" or "Do you know how expensive this shot is?" are their favorite things to say in the editing room.

To personally cut out those shots that I like, let alone a new director, even a famous director is also a painful process.

However, it is a difficult step for ordinary directors, but it is the opposite for Wang Wei.

After all, he had the original version in his mind as a reference, and he paid great attention to the choice of shots when shooting.

Even though Mo changed a lot of places, he knew the rhythm of the whole film well, so naturally he didn't have to worry about this or that when editing.

Wang Chuanqi was surprised by Wang Wei's speed, and he quickly realized something: "Then it's time to prepare for the internal preview?"

Wang Wei nodded: "You can prepare now."

……

The so-called internal preview meeting refers to a small-scale preview screening where the film studio invites some film critics and theater reviewers to participate after the basic production of the film is completed.

After the trial screening, the participants will give comments and scores, and the film crew will make an expectation for the future of the film based on these comments and scores.

If the response is good, everyone will be happy.The film studios are happily preparing for the official release to make money, and the theaters can also arrange more screens to make money.

If the response is not good, it will be troublesome.Not to mention the trouble of reshoots and corrections that may need to be made, just buying film critics to say good things and saving the bad impression of the theaters is enough for the film crew to have a headache.

As Dunhuang's first film that is expected to be released in recent years, Wang Chuanqi attaches great importance to the internal preview meeting, and the invited party... is also very active.

So on the day of the screening, Dunhuang was quite lively.

"Sister Lan, you're here too, what a coincidence." Lin Yongqiang greeted with a smile.

Lin Yongqiang is a senior reviewer of Sky Cinemas, the second largest theater chain in China, so it is only natural that he appears in such a place.

And Yang Lan, who was talking to him, is a well-known film critic in the industry: "Yes, there are quite a lot of acquaintances."

Lin Yongqiang shrugged: "Everyone comes here to eat melons."

Yang Lan smiled: "If today's test screening works well, I guess many people will be disappointed."

"I'm actually fine." Lin Yongqiang smiled, "I really hope that I can gain something today."

In fact, although Dunhuang's own films in the past three years have been worse than each other, judging from the information he has, Dunhuang's vision is still passable.

Frankly speaking, if the three films that have been reduced to jokes can be released smoothly, they should do well at the box office.

The bad thing is that Dunhuang was so unlucky that they were all bloodied before it was released.

And as a representative of the cinema, he noticed that the box office of the films that Dunhuang released for other production companies in the past three years has generally been decent, which proves that Dunhuang is not as bad as everyone makes fun of.

So he may be the one who doesn't have a strong mentality of eating melons at today's preview.

Talking and laughing, soon, the lights in the projection room dimmed.

The internal preview of "Peking Holiday" has begun.

As soon as the princess played by Shen Zhenyi appeared, Yang Lan sat up straight.

Elegant and decent, lively and mischievous, this is the best combination of these two qualities in an actress she has ever seen.

Especially when the princess was receiving the ministers, she kept taking her feet out of the shoes, which made Yang Lan, who was wearing high heels, couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"It's no wonder that Tang Yu's Luo Jianzhou is going to pinch Dunhuang for her. This is really a dazzling jewel." Obviously, Yang Lan is considered to be a very well-informed group of people in the circle.

When she saw the director Wang Wei saying hello before the screening, she was very handsome; now with the look of the heroine, Yang Lan's heart went crazy: Oh my god, I can't hold back the urge to lick the screen!
Among other things, just for these two faces, this movie is on the list of worth seeing-she is a famous "favorite face" film critic.

As for the plot, on the contrary, it is very simple, so simple that countless film critics who have read the film can basically guess the ending after reading the beginning.

Beiping is the last stop for a princess from a Southeast Asian country to visit.At night, the little princess, who was tired of court etiquette, sneaked out through the window and was "picked up" by a shy little reporter to go home.

The next day, they visited the city of Beiping and spent a wonderful and pleasant time. After they fell in love, they still reluctantly parted because of their respective identities and responsibilities, but the imperial capital became a symbol of their eternal love.

There are some old-fashioned love stories, but Yang Lan didn't feel impatient after watching the whole film.

Even when the trial screening was over and the lights came back on, Yang Lan was still staring at the screen, thinking about it.

It's unbelievable that she's so invested in herself.

But thinking about it again, it's normal.The charm of these two protagonists, especially the heroine, in the film is too dazzling.Her gestures, every frown and smile made her face control unforgettable.

"It's a bit unexpected." Lin Yongqiang beside her suddenly commented, "At first glance, it looks like a very ordinary love movie, but after watching it, I was deeply impressed. Sister Lan, what do you think?"

"Then you are optimistic about this movie?" Yang Lan asked back.

"Well, I think it's interesting and worth recommending. What do you think?"

"My opinion?" Yang Lan's smile faded, and she said in a deep voice, "I only see the twin stars rising slowly tomorrow!"
