"Night Store" will be launched in theaters across the country on January 31st, the sixth day of the Chinese New Year. The previous schedule is too fierce. It is difficult to get the support of theaters if a small film rashly breaks in. No matter how good the film is, it is useless to not have any movies. After all, viewers are still accustomed to watching whatever the theaters are. They believe that more movies are definitely good movies. Not to mention domestic, even if North America has large companies, there are many big productions and screenings. No matter how good the movies released by small companies are, it is impossible to have good screenings all at once, unless they cause a large social response and topic effect.

Therefore, the wisest way for "Night Store" is to squeeze in after the Chinese New Year and make money while taking advantage of the two small periods of Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day. During this period, the momentum of "Red Cliffs" will definitely slow down. "Crazy Racing" has entered its second and third week. Even if it is crazy, it is impossible for the morning to be too threatened.

There are many small films in this period, and the only one with a blockbuster is "The Dragon and the Phoenix" produced by Huayi Brothers and Huanya Films, directed by Liu Weiqiang and starring Liu Dehua, Shu Qi, Zhang Hanyu and others. This movie was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and only five days after being separated from "Night Store", He Mu dared not say that he is more appealing than Liu Tianwang, but romance and comedy films have their own audiences. He Mu believes that "Night Store" still has the power to fight when facing "Dragon and Phoenix", at least there will be no sense of powerlessness when facing "Red Cliff".

And after this village, there will be no such store. For a happy small-finished comedy, if you miss the end of the New Year, March, April and May will not be a good schedule. In the summer, I don’t know what super blockbusters will be. Although a slightly worse schedule can create box office miracles, it is not good for "Night Store". Now "Night Store" is doing a good job in the promotion of "Night Store". Whether He Mu fans or comedy fans are curious about this mysterious movie, but how long this curiosity can last is a problem. After all, this is not a Feng comedy, nor is it Ning Hao's work, nor is it Zhou Xingchi's comedy masterpiece. Before the director formed his own brand and the actors had great appeal, the audience's interest in it cannot last long, so they have to strike while the iron is hot and launch the market when the movie is hot.

There are less than a month before "Night Store" is released. The division within the Hulang Company has been basically completed.

Hulang's film department has not been established for a long time. The department members are basically newcomers from outside companies, and they don't have a high degree of integration with the company's old employees, which is a bit of a stand-alone. Especially after the complete failure of the movie version of "Stewardess". The film department is even unable to raise its head in the entire Hulang company. The film department heads by Chen Li even feels abandoned.

They gave up their original company's bright future and stable jobs to Hulang, a new film and television upstart. Although high salary and generous benefits are important factors, what is more important is that they are interested in Hulang's prospects and hope to create a brand new and vigorous film giant from their own hands. This is what any ambitious film practitioner yearns for, but the failure of "Flight Attendant" has broken their arrogance and even caused self-doubt. Are they really a group of scattered soldiers and cannot become a climate?

Fortunately, He Mu supported them at this time and invited them to complete a new work. In fact, some employees including Chen Li and Xue Xiangchen knew that Xiao Fang was intending to lay off the film department. Later, He Mu's efforts made this department preserve it, so they cherished the opportunity of "Night Store" and spent much more energy on "Night Store". In their opinion, "Night Store" was their opportunity to walk with a stern and a wolf, and it was probably the only opportunity.

At this moment, Xiao Fang told them that Hulang decided to divide the film department and establish a brand new company Shuimu Forest. This new company belongs entirely to He Mu and has no affiliation with Hulang. The contracts of the former Hulang Film Department staff were handed over to Shuimu Forest. If anyone who was unwilling to do it here, he could submit his resignation to He Mu.

To be honest, when they first heard this news, many people were shaken. They turned out that the one who changed jobs to the Tiger and Wolf Picture was that Tiger and Wolf develop rapidly. Mr. Xiao has a deep background, but what happened to Shuimu Forest, which is independent of Tiger and Wolf, is just a small film company. They have no strength and no connections, which makes them feel that their future is worrying.

At this time, Chen Li and Xue Xiangchen stood up to push He Mu forward and expressed their willingness to follow Mr. He. Although the formal contact with He Mu only started with "Night Store", Chen Li was optimistic about He Mu's courage and ability. Moreover, he could see that although He Mu and Xiao Fang parted ways, they were in a different way. Maybe there were Xiao Fang's shares in the new company. So Chen Li was willing to take a gamble. Even if He Mu was defeated in the end, it would not be difficult to find a good company with his more than ten years of industry experience, but what if he succeeded? As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help him in time!

Chen Li is still very prestigious among this group of people. His decision has influenced a large number of people, but he still can't stop some people who want to find something else. However, for the new Shuimu Forest, the staff were originally very nervous. Now every few people are a huge test for the release of "Night Store", so He Mu solemnly and sincerely asked them to stay when facing the panic-ridden twenty employees.

"I know that this change in the company has caused great trouble to you. I also know that there is nothing in Shuimu Forest now, and there is no advantage to attract talents to stay. It is natural for people to go to a higher place. He Mu will not do anything to stop people from getting rich. But I want to say that the new company has just been established and there is still some money. Even if it is lost, it will take some time. At least during this period, everyone does not need to worry about not having to guarantee their jobs or not paying their wages on time. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to work in Shuimu Forest for a month in terms of how handsome I am. Now there are still two weeks before the release of "Night Store". Everyone has been working for this project for a month. Why don't you wait until the results come out before deciding to stay or stay?"

He Mu's words shaken many people. Yes, it's just a month, why don't you wait anymore? He Mu said again, "I promise that no one will get a double monthly salary in a month, no matter whether you leave or stay, you will get a double monthly salary. Those who choose to leave are considered a good breakup fee, and those who choose to stay are considered everyone's bonus. I just hope that everyone will not lose their links in the next month. I don't want the release of "Night Store" to be affected."

"Do you still have the urgent hope to leave here immediately?" He Mu made sure for the last time, "No, okay, start to work on his own, Director Chen keeps it."

Although Shuimu Forest is now an independent company in legal sense, the office is still in Hulang. Hulang has rented all the 11th floor of the office building, and the office space is very generous. He Mu decided to rent a quarter of the place directly from Xiao Fang. Before Shuimu Forest grew, this place was enough, and most importantly, it was very cheap.

"Mr. He, what are your instructions?" Chen Li sat opposite He Mu.

"Director Chen, first of all, I want to thank you, thank you for standing on my side at this time."

"Mr. He is so serious. This is just a decision made by following my true intentions. Perhaps Shuimu Forest is a brand new company for others and full of risks, but for me it is the place where I have been working for more than half a year. It's just a name change. I have always played an important role here before. I am very familiar with it and I am confident that this team can achieve success in those big companies. After all, Mr. Xiao spent a lot of energy to dig up people like us. To be honest, Mr. He, you have picked up a ready-made bargain."

He Mu laughed and said, "Of course I know, but Brother Fang has no intention of film industry, so I have to take this important task. What else can I worry about with you talents? How about it? Do you have the confidence to manage these unruly talents?"

Chen Li's joy was not revealed, but just nodded firmly, "Thank you Mr. He for your trust, I will definitely live up to my expectations."

In this way, He Mu served as the president of Shuimu Forest and Chen Li served as the general manager. He Mu has never really been in charge of a company, and Chen Li has no experience in being a few sides. He is just experienced in film promotion and distribution and has a wide network of contacts. Everyone is learning and getting to know each other.

He Mu and Chen Li talked about his positioning of Shuimu Forest, which is to only work in movies and not as actors, because he feels that once a film and television production company still runs an agency, they are prone to limitations when choosing actors. They generally give priority to the artists of the company rather than whether they are suitable as the first consideration. Just like Huayi Brothers today, because there are many artists under their jurisdiction, they prefer to use their own people, and therefore missed many better choices.

"Not doing agent business means that we can expand the candidates of actors to all domestic artists, so that we can find the most suitable one." He Mu told Chen Li.

"Even if the artists of Huayi are suitable, will you use them?" Chen Li asked. He vaguely knew that one of the big reasons why He Mu missed Cheng Long's new film was that he was not in harmony with Wang Zhonglei of Huayi.

"Of course, I think Baoqiang is an indispensable candidate in many types of films. If necessary, I will definitely choose him, but it is hard to say whether Huayi is willing to let go." He Mu believes that he still has this open-mindedness, but he is afraid that Wang Zhonglei will be cautious.

"The fourth brother, it's almost done, what else do you want?" Wang Zhongjun said to Wang Zhonglei, the Huayi headquarters.

"Second brother, what do I want? I don't want him to live a good life. Isn't his "Night Store" on the sixth day of the lunar month? I also moved "Dragon and Phoenix" to the sixth day of the lunar month. Isn't he tough? I see how tough he is!" Wang Zhonglei said viciously, he always remembered that thing in his heart.
