After the first draft editing of "The Shawshank Redemption" was completed, the rest of the post-production went very quickly.
"Strive to complete the final version in early July." This was Wang Shang's order to all post-production staff, and Wang Shang naturally stayed in the post-production department during this period and participated in the entire post-processing of "The Shawshank Redemption."
The second version of the film was soon sent to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau for review. However, because of Wang Shang's relationship, this review was more of a formality. No one would stop Wang Shang's film, which is the world's most popular film.
If a high-profile movie fails to pass the mark in China, it will definitely be ridiculed by the global film industry and movie fans.
When a copy of "The Shawshank Redemption" was delivered to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, the whole branch was shocked.
"I'll judge! I'll judge!!" Every staff member rushed to grab this right.
"Didn't you take a vacation? Why did you come back again?"
"Go away, why are you taking a vacation? I want to dedicate my youth to this great and noble position and shed the last drop of blood..." That look, that look, was full of holiness.
"You...sister!!"
"It's so shameless, I'm ashamed to be associated with it!" Other staff members laughed and cursed when they saw this.
But soon the director of the branch heard the news and immediately came over to grab the food. He rolled up his sleeves and waved his hand: "I'm here to interrogate him!!" The bastard's anger leaked out instantly, and the scumbags instantly bowed to him and fell to the ground.
As a result, a strange thing happened in the entire branch. Every staff member was not doing their job properly. They were all crowded into a small conference room and staring at the big projector screen eagerly.
After two and a half hours, the movie was finally finished and everyone praised it.
——————————
Tianwang Film and Television Group.
"I just got the news that "The Shawshank Redemption" has been approved. The marketing department will immediately start the first plan and promote it nationwide. The movie must be released in China first, otherwise it will miss the summer vacation." Wang Shangzai
In the conference room, he looked around at all the staff responsible for marketing "Shawshank" and said.
At this time, an employee raised his hand and said: "Boss, I think if the copy department works harder, "The Shawshank Redemption" may be released in North America as soon as possible, because it is now the most important thing for all film producers in North America.
The summer schedule, it will end in September. Once it passes this schedule, it will be the autumn schedule, which is characterized by being dominated by women, which is a bit disadvantageous for "The Shawshank Redemption."
Wang Shang thought for a while, then turned to the director of the copy department and asked: "Can you copy 20,000 copies in one month?"
20,000 copies was estimated by Wang Shang himself. There are currently 30,000 movie screens in China. If "The Shawshank Redemption" is released, it should be able to get a 35% film schedule even during the summer vacation, which is more than 10,000 screens.
.As for the United States, there are 35,000 screens. Subtracting the nature of "Shawshank" and adding Wang Shang's fame, if we strive for a little bit, we should be able to get 8,000 screens, a film scheduling rate of 23%. The remaining 2,000 copies will be used for backup.
The director of the copy department thought for a while and replied cautiously: "This is difficult because there are other movies being planned, and even if all resources are used to copy "Shawshank", the maximum number can only reach 12,000 copies. But there is a compromise.
The way is to follow the example of the original "Resident Evil 3" and divide the copying tasks between Datang International and Blue Ocean Film and Television. We will complete 7,000 units in China and 13,000 units in them. If it doesn't work, we can actually use North America.
The power of the side..."
Wang Shang waved his hand. Wang Shang understood what he meant. However, Wang Shang did not want to rely on companies such as Disney, although the cooperation was happy now. Datang International and Blue Ocean Film and Television were working together. Since the cooperation on "Resident Evil 3", the three parties have cooperated.
Many times, especially last year's "Mecha Knight", due to insufficient copying progress, it relied on the copying resources of Tianwang Film and Television to successfully overcome the difficulties.
"Then let's release it in China first and North America first. The date is tentatively set at August 1st, which happens to be Saturday. Everyone should be prepared for marketing and publicity. In China, you have to officially set the release date within three days.
, the North American side should also communicate as soon as possible and set the schedule."
The day after the conference, "The Shawshank Redemption" began a publicity campaign on the Internet.
On June 17, the schedule of "Shawshank" in China was finally set, just as Wang Shang requested, which is August 1. (Negotiations on the schedule began half a year in advance, but the specific date will have to wait until recently
It takes two months to finalize, which also makes it easier for many movies to avoid some blockbusters in advance.)
After the schedule was set, the publicity began to become more intense. Coming from Wang Shang's blood, the publicity was naturally overwhelming.
Overpasses, street electronic screens, newspapers, televisions, buses, shopping mall advertisements, LED screens...
You can see the shadow of "Shawshank" in every advertising location. It's truly overwhelming! It's everywhere!!
The major stars from the cast of "The Shawshank Redemption" also went to various parts of the country to organize fan meetings to promote it on a large scale. As a movie with big-name stars, all the stars who can show off have millions of fans, and the publicity effect is
Naturally, it's a hit. Other movies released at this time are getting a lot of attention, so I'm considering whether to adjust the schedule.
However, just when the whole country's attention was focused on the news that "Shawshank" was about to be released, another news came out, which suddenly occupied the headlines of major Internet websites. Two days later, even the popular "Shawshank"
》 also had to give in and succumb to the bottom.
"Restore my innocence. I help others with good intentions but I am slandered, or I may be fined 130,000 by the court! Please help me!!", "Do you dare to be a good person?", "The heart-wrenching words of a wronged young man, I can't help him!"...
A series of shocking headlines immediately attracted the attention of countless Chinese people.
Soon, in a series of articles, everyone learned what happened - a young man kindly helped a 60-year-old woman before taking the bus, and sent her to the hospital before leaving. The following days began
She encountered unfair treatment. Not only was she detained, but she was also harassed endlessly by Auntie’s family. Finally, she was taken to court. At this time, she was experiencing many unfair treatments in the court.
After seeing these news, the public's first reaction was to hype it up, but after looking through a lot of information, they found that this is really the case.
As a result, public opinion exploded.
One by one, the media followed up, and each netizen discussed it, each with their own opinions.
"A kind-hearted person is accused? It shouldn't be blackmail, right?"
"If the young man is really unjust, then that aunt is really disgusting."
"Maybe the young man lied and played the tragedy card. That would be too immoral."
"120,000? How miserable!!"
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and newspapers across the country quickly published this important news. The Internet was so developed that even if you wanted to, you couldn't help it, and the news spread all over China.
Wang Shang only heard the news from the marketing staff when he was listening to the work report the next day. He suddenly felt like thousands of idiots running back and forth in his heart: "What the hell is going on!!!"
Then Wang Shang got the newspaper and learned about what happened in detail.
Amazing similarities!!! Although the places are different and the people are different, things are surprisingly similar.
At this moment, Wang Shang suddenly became confused.
"Xiaowen, please do something for me. Find a group of professional people to help me investigate this matter! By the way, keep it secret!" Wang Shang told his secretary. This matter in the past time and space was too big.
, and the truth has not been truly determined. But in Wang Shang's view, no matter whether it was a real collision or a fake collision, no matter how wronged the wronged party was, China's morality suddenly dropped to a low point, and the impact was extremely bad.
"Okay." Although Jiang Xiaowen didn't know why Wang Shang did this, she still wrote it down carefully.
Wang Shang quickly called Ke Jinggong, the director of Oriental TV Station, and ordered: "Regarding the matter of bumping into people and helping others, try to pour cold water on both parties..."
Wang Shang told Ke Jinggong his thoughts, and Ke Jinggong quickly understood Wang Shang's intention.
After putting down the phone, Wang Shang rubbed his temples. There was only so much he could do, but to what extent things would develop was beyond Wang Shang's control.
