Superstar Couple

Chapter 33 Controversy over Release Time

Zhang Le is busy with the post-production of Crazy Stone. Although he plagiarized this film from his previous life, there are still many changes. He poured too much effort into the film.

Soundtrack, interlude, cutting... especially cutting, this is the link that Zhang Le cares about the most. The whole movie, if it is cut, is very important. If you don't understand your own movie, you can't cut out the ideal effect at all.

Director Zhang, do you want to write a theme song? Lu Yang, the film's assistant director, suggested to Zhang Le. No way, the theme song written by Zhang Le for the movie Waiting to Return had too much influence on people. Now that this movie is mentioned, the first thing that comes to people's minds is not the picture of the movie, but the melody of the movie's theme song Fireworks Are Cold.

This movie won't have a theme song. I won't even write a theme song for my movies in the future. Zhang Le shook his head and said immediately.

Lu Yang was puzzled, but then suddenly remembered that this person who is recognized as talented in music has almost rejected all commercial performances, and there is only one reason for the rejection, he is a director, not a singer.

Obviously, he prefers his role as a director.

Director, yes! He must be afraid that the theme song he wrote will overwhelm the audience and steal the limelight of his own movie.

Think about how Fireworks Are Cold stole the limelight from Waiting Return. What's more, Zhang Le's well-written theme song stole the movie's limelight, and the loss outweighs the gain. If the writing is not good, it will damage his reputation in music, and it will not be worth the loss. Instead, it is better not to write.

It's just that Lu Yang is a little worried. If there is no theme song to increase publicity for this movie with no big names and such a small investment, will anyone go to the theater to watch it?

Lu Yang also studied as a film director, but he never had the opportunity to direct films alone. However, for this film he

The research is deep and the food is very thorough. So, he knows how good this movie is. But it's useless for him to know, the audience has to know. What's more, the box office of a movie is not only related to the excellence of the movie itself, but also many factors affect the box office of the movie.

He didn't know whether this excellent film could stand the test of today's film market.

Director Zhang, I have found out what you asked me to inquire about. A man walked in and said to Zhang Le. At the same time, a folder was handed over.

That person is He Jun, the person in charge of Xinle Film Studio.

Zhang Le took the folder he handed over and flipped through it, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

When blockbusters gather during the Spring Festival, the fighting is very fierce. If Crazy Stone is really released in the Spring Festival, if it can't become a dark horse at the box office, then it will be crushed by those blockbusters, and it is estimated that it will not even make a splash. If it is really unsuccessful, it will be a benevolence. He Jun said, My personal suggestion is that it is better to be safe, and it is better to postpone or advance the release. After all, this film is the first film of the studio.

Mr. He, don't you think this is an opportunity? Zhang Le handed over the document and said.

Director Zhang said that this year's Spring Festival blockbusters are mostly history, action, and science fiction, and most of those films are tragedies. Even if they are not tragedies, they are mostly popcorn movies with visual highlights. And Crazy Stone is a This is an out-and-out comedy, under such circumstances, it is extremely conspicuous, after all, during the Spring Festival, who doesn't want to watch some happy movies? He Jun said.

Am I doing this wrong? Zhang Le asked. In his memory, there was a movie in his previous life that took advantage of such a situation, and even set a box office record because of it.

Zhang Le doesn't expect Crazy Stone to create any box office records. After all, the real killer of this movie is that its narrative technique has created a new model. But the more box office, the greater the impact of the film.

What Zhang Le lacks now is influence.

Otherwise, he would not give up the movie Get the Father-in-Law and choose the movie Crazy Stone. If it is only for small investment and high box office, in fact, Nightclub starring Xu Zheng is far more suitable for Zhang Le than Crazy Stone.

But among so many blockbuster films, the theater's film schedule will definitely be affected. If the film is not well scheduled, it will have a great impact on the box office. I still don't think it's easy to take this risk. He Jun still shook his head and said.

Zhang Le nodded, the scheduling of a movie is really important. Not only did this movie have a small investment, and it didn't have any big stars, but it was also a movie of a newly established studio.

Zhang Le has confidence in his film, but it doesn't mean others have. What's more, Zhang Le is not absolutely sure whether this movie can be accepted by the market. If what happened to the classic film of Master Xing in the previous life happened, there would be no place to cry when he wanted to cry.

Zhang Le is not like his own movie which suffered a disastrous box office failure when it was released. After a few years, it was regarded as a classic by countless people.

He doesn't have that time. What's more, He Jun is the person in charge of the company after all, and his own research on the world film market is much better than he doesn't know. It is impossible for Zhang Le not to consider his opinion.

Then try to avoid those blockbuster films when they are the most popular, and advance or postpone them a week or two. What do you think? Zhang Le said after thinking about it.

He Jun wanted to say something more, but at this time Zhang Le's phone rang.

Come out for a drink, I'll introduce some friends to you! Feng Lei's voice came from the phone.

Drink it yourself! You know, I'm very busy these days. Zhang Le refused.

Don't refuse in a hurry! Do you know who I introduced to you? Feng Lei said again.

Who is it? Zhang Le asked reflexively. In fact, Feng Lei called specifically to introduce a friend to him, and Zhang Le also knew that the other party was doing it for his own good.

In the entertainment circle, connections are too important. It's just that Zhang Lezhen is not very good at communication.

Wu Xiaoyong! Do you remember who it is? Feng Lei said.

I know, the son of the Xingsheng Group, you have been taken advantage of by giving you a bonus of 100,000 yuan. Zhang Le smiled and said. He is really not interested in making friends with this rich second generation. I'm not interested in Feng Lei's drink anymore.

Then do you know that the theater chain under Xingsheng Group is the largest theater chain in China? And Wu Xiaoyong personally holds a lot of shares. You, I don't. If our movie is released, if he comes forward to say hello, the theater will I will definitely consider his face when arranging the film. Besides, if you get in touch with him more, you will find that he is actually a good guy. Feng Lei said again.

Where are you? Zhang Le said immediately.

I have to admit that Feng Lei is a born lobbyist. He was tempted.

Where are you? I'm here to pick you up! Feng Lei said.

company!

Feng Lei came very quickly and drove a luxury car.

I haven't seen you in a few days, did you post? Zhang Le joked as soon as he got in the car.

My father's. It's not like you don't know about it. Feng Lei smiled and said, He's gone to filming. Instead of staying at home as a decoration, it's better to borrow it for a few days.

Borrow? Hehe! Zhang Le laughed when he heard that. This guy obviously took advantage of his father's going out to film, and quietly drove the car out to enjoy himself. It's not like he hasn't done this before.

Where are you going now? Zhang Le asked instead of teasing him.

A clubhouse in the suburbs. Feng Lei said.
