Chapter 413 Steady progress

Zhang Hehuan didn't force himself and nodded, "I want to hang your name by the video consultant, what do you think?"

Director Zhang said: "No problem. I specifically solicited opinions from Huanshi, and they have no restrictions on this." Director Zhang has always had a big pattern and is willing to support newcomers, not to mention that Zhang Hehuan once helped him.

Director Zhang doesn't know much about the movie "My Savage Girlfriend" itself. He only knows it is a low-cost youth romance film. He thinks it is Zhang Hehuan's playful work. When he first learned that An Ran joined the film, Director Zhang even felt sorry. He thought An Ran should cherish his feathers and should be cautious in choosing films. He also invited An Ran to participate in the filming of "Return", but An Ran declined with the excuse of being depressed recently.

Director Zhang felt very sorry for An Ran. This film has signed a contract with Cheng Daoming and Gong Li. If An Ran joins, you can learn a lot from the two old actors. It is too late to say these things now. My daughter's actor has signed a contract and is also a newcomer.

Zhang Hehuan received the reply from Director Zhang, and the purpose of coming today has been achieved.

Director Zhang said: "Have I read the latest script I passed on to you?"

Zhang Hehuan nodded and said, "I have read it. The script is good. The actors should have a lot of room for performance. According to the cost of your movie, it is definitely no problem to make money..."

Director Zhang heard him say this and sighed in relief: "This movie is a pure art film, not a commercial work that caters to the market." He clearly divided the works in his heart.

Zhang Hehuan said: "But the overall style of this work is a bit depressing."

Director Zhang knew that he was not interested in the original author and smiled: "In the past, people said that literati were inferior to each other, and I found that you also had this problem."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "I have no objection to this female writer, I just don't like her writing style. Maybe it's because I haven't experienced the era in which she lives, so I lack resonance with her works."

Director Zhang said: "I am reading all your books. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "China on the Bite of the Tongue" are all great. "The Legend of Qin" has not been available for reading it yet, but your novel is very entertaining and more suitable for commercial operations."

Zhang Hehuan said: "If I have the chance in the future, I will bring my novels to the screen one after another. If Director Zhang is interested, we can also cooperate."

Zhang Yimou said: "It is impossible in the short term. Huanshi has made the schedule very full. After filming "Return", there is still a Hollywood work waiting.

Zhang Hehuan knew that his Hollywood work was "The Great Wall". Thinking about it, Director Zhang had not been easy for many years, he jumped out of the pit of new paintings. This accidentally fell into the pit of Huanshi again.

"The Great Wall" should set a new low in his work. Some things have clearly seen the results, but he can't help it. It can be seen that Director Zhang is full of confidence in Huanshi's cooperation. After all, he is an artist, and he is still a bit idealistic in his considerations. It seems that the lessons learned from capital are not profound enough.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Zhang will be released until the end of next year as soon as possible?"

Zhang Yimou nodded: "The conditions given to me by Huanshi are relatively relaxed, and there is not much pressure on the box office this time." He said there was no pressure, but if the box office was too low, he couldn't get over the face. He didn't expect the box office of art films, and he just hoped that the box office would be more than 200 million.

Zhang Hehuan said: "The audience of art films in China is relatively small now, but fortunately the cost is low."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Why do you still insist on shooting when you know that the audience of art films are small?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "My movie is not a serious art film. To be precise, it belongs to youth love and focuses on young people."

Zhang Yimou said: "Is the pressure a lot?"

"There is no pressure. If you calculate the promotion and distribution, the total investment does not exceed 30 million. According to the current issuance situation, the cost can be recovered by adding up overseas markets and online broadcast authorization, and domestic box offices are all profitable."

Zhang Yimou believes that Zhang Hehuan is a low-cost youth romance film, and the director is an unknown Korean. In addition to An Ran, there is not even a decent and well-known supporting role in the cast.

The key is the schedule that Zhang Hehuan chose, the Christmas schedule with strong players, and there are many blockbusters this year.

Zhang Yimou said kindly: "Xiao Zhang, I actually don't understand why you have to join the Christmas schedule. The competition for this schedule is too fierce."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Although the competition is fierce, there are no movies of the same type as me. I carefully studied the new movies in this period. There is only ours for pure romance."

Zhang Yimou said: "Audiences have choices when watching movies. In such a period, there are so many blockbusters to choose from, and usually everyone will choose the hottest one."

Gu/span> "Which video do you think will win this period?"

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said, "According to my current understanding of the title of "The Twelve Zodiacs", there are basically no doubts about winning the championship. This movie is a family-friendly nature. This schedule is Christmas and New Year's Day, and there will be two waves of rising peaks in the box office. Fang Long's movie quality has always been good, and it is very entertaining, which is especially suitable for watching during holidays."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Even if he wins first, there are always audiences who choose other movies. I made an estimate that the box office of this double festival will be about 1.8 billion yuan. We tentatively locked in "The Twelve Zodiac Signs" to 800 million yuan, and there is still a market share of 1 billion yuan."

Zhang Yimou said: "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" has received rave reviews abroad, with at least 300 million in China. Feng Gang's "1942" is also his careful work. His movie box office has always been bad. This time, the investment was 210 million yuan, and the box office should be no problem exceeding 5."

Zhang Hehuan said: "The 1942 " was released in early December, and he basically missed the Christmas schedule."

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "The reason why he was released in advance was to earn a lot of reputation, and the film was planned to go long." Among the domestic directors, Feng Gang's ability to hold the box office is recognized.

Zhang Hehuan said: "He has a bit out of date and will probably lose money. I estimate that his box office will not exceed 400 million."

Zhang Yimou laughed. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. He thought that Zhang Hehuan chose the Christmas season to catch up with the popularity. If he is lucky, he can earn tens of millions of box office with this video. But from this conversation, Zhang Hehuan clearly wants to enter the Christmas season and fight seriously. Now the audience is gradually becoming rational, and the situation of killing the master with random punches should not happen.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Zhang, based on your experience, where do you think the box office of my movie will be about to be taken over?"

Zhang Yimou has never seen his movies, but the most popular youth romance film in recent years is last year's "33 Days of Love Break". The movie was released on Double Eleven. It won four days of over 100 million and 180 million in the first week, and the final box office was 350 million. This is already the most successful example of a genre film.

However, the schedule of this movie was very special at that time. It can be said that it was a movie specially customized for Singles' Day. There were no strong competitors in the same period. If this movie was placed in this Christmas schedule, it would be difficult to say whether the box office could exceed 100 million yuan.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while before saying, "If you were ideal, you might get a box office of 50 million." With the 50 million box office, the transfer of overseas and online broadcast rights, this "My Savage Girlfriend" can make a small profit. In fact, Zhang Yimou said it better, and he couldn't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of young people.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Low!"

Zhang Yimou said: "What are your expectations for the box office?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "To use Director Feng's words, I'm afraid I will underestimate this movie."

Zhang Yimou couldn't help laughing: "Young people are terrifying. I wish you a big hit with this movie, with a box office of over 100 million and a lot of money." The box office of over 100 million, Director Zhang didn't believe it, it was just a good blessing.

As the film schedule approaches, Zhang Hehuan's brilliant marketing methods begin to take turns.

In mid-November, he released a duet song "Love in Seoul". The lead singer of the song was He and An Ran, and the lyrics and compositions were him. However, this song was actually him changing the title of "Love in Hiroshima".

The content of the lyrics has nothing to do with the plot of the movie, but the MV uses the shots from "My Savage Girlfriend". Once the song was released, it rose to the top of the new song list at an astonishing speed.

This is just the first step in Zhang Hehuan's online promotion. He used Mu Xichun's good relationship with the music circle to join hands with Cool DOG Music to hold an event to win movie tickets for cover songs. As long as he covers "Love in Seoul" and collects 50 likes, he can apply for two movie tickets for "My Savage Girlfriend" with his Cool DOG account.

This event made the songs of "Love in Seoul" more and more popular. By early December, it had become the most popular duet song with the highest singing rate among major KTVs.

During the Double Twelve Shopping Festival, 120,000 Christmas Eve premiere movie tickets were launched for 12 yuan.

On Double Twelve, the theme song "Ibelieve" of "My Savage Girlfriend" was officially released. The Korean version of this song was sung by Kim Yunji, and the Chinese version was sung by Zhang Hehuan. After Zhang Hehuan's Chinese version was released in China, it did not cause much waves. It still did not enter the top 50 of the new songs chart for three days after its release. After the Korean version was released, it soon entered the top 10 of the new songs on the MENT chart.

This can be regarded as the unprecedented achievement of domestic singers in Korea. The main task that Zhang Hehuan arranged for Park Jin-joo was to fully assist the song in the charts. Korea's promotion and promotion are also steadily progressing. Peninsula Films is quite powerful in its distribution this time. The streets of Seoul are full of movie posters of Zhang Hehuan and Anron.

Even Zhang Hehuan was a little puzzled, why did GOT Media value their movies so much this time?
