Entertainment, I just like making movies

Zhang Wei's words were recognized by everyone except Zhang Qiang.

Hit Hengyu Media first!

Although Hengyu is not listed and cannot beat the other party's stock price, the impact of defeating the film written and produced by Fang Ziheng head-on is no less powerful than defeating the Huayi Brothers.

There is no other reason. Fang Ziheng, a young international director, has indeed great influence.

Defeating him head-on, Alibaba Pictures Group instantly raised its banner as a giant!

Needless to say, the reputation and appeal in the industry will be even higher.

You know, everyone came to support us today more for Alibaba’s sake than Alibaba Pictures itself.

Zhang Qiang let out a breath. He did not stop Zhang Wei's decision, nor did he make a supplementary and more complete plan.

As far as he knew, Hengyu Media had rejected Zhang Wei's investment request three times in a row, and Fang Ziheng was indeed too arrogant as Zhang Wei said.

let's hit!

This decision may be influenced by Zhang Wei's personal emotions, but the suggestion itself is good.

As the president, Zhang Qiang could only hold his nose and agree!

soon

Several senior executives of Alibaba Pictures Group have unanimously agreed on blocking the film projects released by Hengyu Media this year.

The next thing to discuss is which movie to block Hengyu!

This issue requires further investigation by Alibaba Pictures to find out the production level of Hengyu's ten movies.

The director, starring actors, general shooting situation, when it will be released, the publicity resources invested in the release, etc.

All in all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle without hesitation!

After making a decision, Alibaba's ability to mobilize resources is terrifying. In terms of publicity alone, Alibaba Pictures Group is no weaker than Hengyu Media.

Fang Ziheng didn't know that he had become Ali's target. He was drinking tea with Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong to discuss the release status of movies in the summer, National Day, Lunar New Year, and Spring Festival this year.

A high-end club in the imperial capital.

The four of them sat around a small round table, sipping tea and discussing the movie they were going to release.

"On June 28th, Xu Zheng's "The Master of Hypnosis" will be released!"

"On July 15th, Su Lun's "Predecessor 1" will be released!"

"On August 1st, Ning Hao's "The Flowers of the Heart" will be released!"

"On August 14th, Lin Chaoxian's "Drug War" will be released!"

"On September 1st, Guo Fan's "The Donkey Gets Water" will be released!"

"On September 27th, Wu Jing's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will be released!"

"On November 15th, Yu Feihong's "The Left Ear" will be released!"

"On December 7th, Hao Yi's "Four Famous Catchers 2" will be released!"

"On December 20th, Fumiki Ye's "National Security 1" will be released!"

"On December 30, Zhang Yimou's "The Chinese Partner" will be released!"

Fang Ziheng took out an A4 paper form from his pocket and generously placed the ten movies controlled by Hengyu Media this year in front of the three of them.

He has nothing to hide. Just as Zhang Qiang guessed, with ten movies a year, no matter how much he gives in, he will hit the movies of Huayi, Guangxian and Bona.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong put down the purple clay teacups in their hands and leaned over to look over.

"Director Fang, I think it's a bit inappropriate to put "Four Famous Catchers 2" on December 7th?"

Wang Zhongjun's eyes narrowed. As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the notepad that came with the phone, and handed it to Fang Ziheng to read.

"You see, Xiaogang's "1942" has been scheduled to be released on November 29, and Cheng Long's "Zodiac" will be released on December 12."

"If we add "Four Famous Catchers 2" directed by Hao Yi, then we will really be flooded with the Dragon King Temple, and our own family will fight against our own family."

Wang Zhongjun looked troubled and said worriedly.

Hua Yi invested 10% of "The Big Four 2" and is the third largest producer of the film.

In half a month, movies from three major directors were released. No matter how you watch them, it feels like they are competing against each other. It’s so worth it!

The first part of "Famous Catchers" grossed 820 million at the box office. Hao Yi, the director brought up by Fang Ziheng, just directed "Xiu Chun Knife" with a total box office of over 600 million.

"Four Famous Catchers 2", no matter how you look at it, it's a strong rival!

Deep down, Wang Zhongjun was a little worried about "Four Famous Catchers 2".

Even if he has confidence in Feng Pants and Cheng Long, he doesn't think "Famous 2" will be worse than "1942" and "Zodiac".

Wang Changtian and Yu Dong also had the same idea. They also felt that the release of three movies together would too restrict the movie's box office harvest.

However, Guangxian and Bona didn't have any movies released during that time, so it didn't matter to them. They just showed some worried expressions on the surface. Inwardly, they wanted to fight to death in three movies. All rushed to the street.

The alliance of the four giants has the same goal of being consistent with the outside world. At other times, if a win-win situation can be achieved, both parties will win. If a win-win situation cannot be achieved, then they will give in slightly.

But there is a bottom line for concessions. Wang Changtian and Yu Dong have already given up the best Lunar New Year slot to Hua Yi and Hengyu.

As for how you two families coordinate and fight for life and death, that's none of their business.

Of the two companies, only Bona has a movie "Big Shanghai" released on December 31.

"The Grandmaster", which was originally scheduled to be released in December, was also moved to 2013 by Yu Dong, because he did not want to be cannon fodder for the most intense Lunar New Year event in December.

"Director Wang, don't worry too much!"

"With the expansion of the movie market, this year's Lunar New Year festival will only become more popular, and it can fully accommodate two blockbusters at the same time."

Fang Ziheng smiled, picked up the purple clay teapot and poured tea for the three of them, and said with relief: "'The Four' and '1942' are eight days apart, so they will not occupy the schedule of the two films."

Am I so worried about "1942"!

The old reporter is afraid that "Famous Catchers 2" will overwhelm Cheng Long's "Zodiac" and take away the original film schedule of "Zodiac".

Wang Zhongjun thinks too much!

How can "1942" compare to "Zodiac"? A movie about natural disasters and famine was released during the Lunar New Year. I really don't know who gave Feng Pants confidence.

For Fang Ziheng, "1942" will be released eight days after "Famous 2", which can perfectly take over the film schedule vacated after "1942" dives, thus taking the first-mover advantage against "Zodiac".

Of course, he is not lying when he says that the Lunar New Year festival can accommodate two blockbusters at the same time, it is true.

At the level of "Famous" and "Zodiac", not to mention both of the two movies breaking 1 billion, there is no problem in getting 800 or 900 million.

As for "1942", I'm sorry. Your miserable and miserable movie had to be squeezed into the Lunar New Year slot. You can't blame others for being cannon fodder.

Fang Ziheng had no idea of ​​making way for Hua Yi and Feng Pengtong. Once many things were decided, they could not be changed.

After saying a few words of relief, Fang Ziheng announced the release time of "The Great Wall".

2013, January 25th!

Released on the 18th of the twelfth lunar month!

There is only one purpose, to perfectly eat the 2013 Spring Festival stalls.

From January 25th to February 29th, there is a span of thirty-four days, which not only captures the film market before New Year's Eve, but also takes into account the 15 days from the first day of the first lunar month to the Lantern Festival.

As soon as he heard this, Wang Zhongjun's mouth twitched and he cursed Fang Ziheng in his heart.

I'm going to care for you!

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was also released in 2013.

The release date is February 7th, which is 12 days apart from "The Great Wall"!

Fang Ziheng, who had just won the distribution rights for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", gave way to the movie.

It’s okay to make room for “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”, but not for “Twelve Zodiac Signs”!

Didn’t Hengyu invest in “Zodiac”?

Damn it!

Wang Zhongjun felt so sad that he wished he could scold his mother on the spot and walk away!
