It can be seen that the quality of the completed film of "Monster's Orphans" is indeed not very good. It is trying desperately to squeeze into the Spring Festival movie, probably because the cost is too high and it is difficult to make back the money.
Therefore, even if you risk your life, you still have to earn more box office.
"What do you mean?" Lao Zhang was silent and did not continue this topic for a long time. Wu Di could only ask tentatively.
Lao Zhang is a person who doesn't waste time on meaningless things. Since he mentioned the Meng's orphans, it shows that he has a purpose.
Moreover, this purpose is also related to him, Xiao Wu.
Then just keep shouting, Wu Di can't say whether he can do it or not, he just tries his best.
Of course, Lao Zhang wouldn't mention that guy Haige for no reason. He was actually very happy when he heard that the Meng's Orphans were also going to be on the Spring Festival show.
This was beyond Wu Di's expectation.
"OK!"
"It's great to be on the Spring Festival stalls. Sanyanerpai is also preparing to be on the Spring Festival stalls!"
"This time, we can meet at the top and see who is more powerful!"
Wu Di was absolutely stunned, what the hell?
Lao Zhang also wants to fight in the Spring Festival stall?
Is he telling the truth?
Didn’t I already warn him before that the Spring Festival stall is not suitable for him? Besides, he had no intention of joining the Spring Festival stall before!
"Haven't you already completed the production of Sanyanerpai? I think the summer vacation is quite good, so why do you have to save it for the Spring Festival?"
"You didn't seem to have planned this before."
It's for sure that Wu Di is curious. Lao Zhang said it himself before, it doesn't matter what the schedule is. It's just a toy movie, experimental.
It doesn't matter if it can be the best or not. It's not worth spending money on publicity and arranging films to be on an important and big schedule.
Why did you change your mind after only two months?
Besides, the timing is not right either.
Brother Hai's Meng's Orphans wants to compete for the Spring Festival slot. One reason is the pressure to repay the money, and the other is that the timing is really right.
Counting from now on, it will take at least two months for the entire production of "Monster's Orphans" to be completed. After that, there are many aspects such as applying for a release license, publicity, etc., all of which need to be set aside.
Lin Lin is finally getting up, it's almost the end of the year, and it's going to be a long time coming to the spring season.
On the other hand, San Yan Er Pai has already completed the production. Now we just need the license. If we don't get it now, we will have to wait for more than half a year.
It's simply not worth it for such a movie, it's pointless.
Facing Wu Di's questioning, Lao Zhang's reaction was very dull.
"I know all this, but the Spring Festival stall is better. I don't intend to compete with Brother Hai, I just want to be on the Spring Festival stall."
If you don’t want to make the sales, you still have to go to the Spring Festival stall?
Isn't this looking for trouble?
"However, this will definitely affect the box office of San Yan Er Pai. Although the production cost of our film is relatively low and there is less pressure to repay the capital, if we can get more box office, we will naturally have to make more."
Wu Di still held a trace of fantasy and wanted to persuade Lao Zhang not to go to the Spring Festival stalls to make trouble for himself. He was in pain. Facing the smug Lao Zhang, he could not tell the whole truth.
If "Monster's Orphan" is a mediocre work and lackluster, then "San Yan Er Pai" is a pure bad movie.
I can't find any artistic value, and there aren't even a few good shots.
There is no beauty at all.
The reason why this movie hasn't received a few bricks yet is because it has been kept very well covered and kept secret from the outside world.
The filming location was in the desert of the northwest, and there was no excessive construction work. There were also relatively few actors, many of whom were acquaintances, and the tone was strict enough.
However, once it is released, the treatment may not be much better than that of Monteggia Orphans, or even worse.
Wouldn't it be enough to just go to the regular summer show?
At this time in 2010, the summer season had not yet developed at all, and the box office volume was not large. If it were released at this time, although it would definitely be criticized, at least the impact would be much smaller.
But if it were put in the Spring Festival period, the impact would be huge. Why would it go to such a popular period to attract attention?
It might even distract the Meng's orphans.
The audience, who had gathered their energy and were about to scold Brother Hai, turned around and looked at it for a few seconds, and maybe they felt that Brother Hai could still be forgiven.
At least, you're not making fun of the audience, right?
There are many truths that Wu Di can't tell Brother Hai completely, but he can still give some advice if he is picky.
It depends on whether Lao Zhang can listen to it. However, it is obvious that Lao Zhang is not such a character.
"Xiao Wu, isn't it right for you to understand it this way? Brother Hai can influence me, but I won't influence Brother Hai?"
What does it mean?
It feels like there is a tendency to go against the grain.
Wu Di looked confused, and Lao Zhang explained enthusiastically: "If you think about it, with such a large investment in Meng's Orphans, Brother Hai's pursuit of box office ambitions must be quite urgent, at least much more urgent than mine. However, as long as it is
If San Yan Er is released on the Spring Festival schedule, his box office plan will definitely come to nothing."
"Don't think about it, it's for sure."
"When the time comes, let's see how he explains to investors and how he makes his next movie!"
Is this a battle between directors?
Is this the most high-end business war?
I have to say that Lao Zhang still has some skills.
Three Words and Two Shots is his movie, and no one can influence his thoughts. Since he has already decided, Wu Di has nothing to say.
Just obey, it has nothing to do with him anyway. In this movie, he is a third level apart in the cast list.
After it is released, whether the effect is good or bad has little to do with him.
What he needs to focus on now is Labyrinth. He is also the leading actor and one of the directors, and he has also won an award. Only by stabilizing the reputation and box office of this work can Wu Di benefit more.
Wu Di stood up and planned to leave the show gracefully.
However, Lao Zhang was not ready to let him go. With one look, Wu Di could only sit still obediently, feeling a lot of pressure.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There is one more thing I want to ask you."
Well, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly, it won't do anything good anyway.
Wu Di is already prepared and plans to continue to be cheated.
And Lao Zhang also thought so in his heart.
"You also have a film company now. I heard from Xiaofeng that there are no movies officially planned for production yet. They are all doing movie promotion work, right?"
"Yes, we do have a few cases on hand, and the filming of a movie will start soon. It's Xiao Feng's new movie."
To be fair, for a newly established company, Wu Di's business volume is already very good.
It is said to be a company, but there are only a dozen full-time staff members. The promotion work of the two movies plus the preparation work for Zhang Feng's new movie can already keep the staff busy.
At least, that's the case for a while.
However, it is obvious that Lao Zhang does not think so. He believes that with Wu Di's ability, he can continue to take on more arduous tasks.
"It's like this. I plan to leave the publicity work of Sanyan Erpao to you. You are my own family. If I leave it to you, you will do your best, so I can rest assured."
"This...this is inappropriate!"
"Mr. Zhang, I am also responsible for the publicity work for Meng's orphans!" Wu Di panicked immediately.
Good guy, this old man is serious!
Lao Zhang looked determined, no matter what Wu Di thought, he was going to do it anyway.
"Xiao Wu, what's the problem?"
difficulty?
He actually had the nerve to say it?
If Wu Di did this, wouldn't it be difficult everywhere?
"Mr. Zhang, I still have to promote the Meng's Orphans, and if I continue to talk about it, isn't that a mutual exchange between the left and right hands?"
It's not that Wu Di was worried about having Lao Zhang on one side and Brother Hai on the other. Even if the two seniors came to him for promotion, he would happily accept it.
Who would say no to a small amount of money?
However, the situation now is completely different. On one side is Meng's Orphans, on the other side is Sanyanerpai. The two movies were released on the same schedule!
At least, this is the current arrangement between the two directors.
When the time comes, how will Wu Di plan to write his slogan?
Isn't this just the left hand fighting the right hand?
"Xiao Wu, those who are capable work hard and are looking for you. This shows that you are very capable and everyone thinks highly of you."
"Anyway, remember, when the promotion officially starts, just favor my side. You can't turn your elbows outward."
"Remember, we are a family."
family……
hehe……
What a family...
In any case, these major projects under my command have been completed, and the tasks on the system side have come to an end.
If the system guy is really a good guy who keeps his word, then from now on, he no longer needs to worry about anything going wrong with the system.
Because Wu Di has completely gotten rid of the control of the mission, from now on, it will be an era of mutual benefit between him and the system.
Now that I think about it, I am really not used to it. Without the operation of the system, in a short period of time, determining the development direction seems to be the first issue that Wu Di needs to consider.
Should you continue to be an actor or become a director?
Or even just shoot a few good works and then just retire behind the scenes?
You can still make movies even if you are a boss. Many directors and producers do this. Even former actors like Wu Di are very common to make guest appearances in some of the movies they produce.
After all, you were once very famous, and the audience was willing to see you in the movie. If you perform well, you can even be used as an Easter egg in marketing!
There are almost three paths before Wu Di. Of course, these three paths can also be directly merged.
There are many ways out, but it’s quite annoying.
Wu Di sank into the sofa, brainstorming.
With the grand prize coming from Shuicheng, Wu Di can take a break and take his time. There is no need to rush and the script can be picked slowly.
If there is nothing suitable, just shoot covers, shoot advertisements, do some lighter work, make money and rest at the same time.
relax.
Of course, if the time is right, you can also put marriage on the agenda. My dear father-in-law has already spoken.
As the son-in-law of Chenglong, it would be inappropriate for Boss Wu to not take action. However, why did Lao Zhang bring up this topic?
Is it his own intention or Zhang Feng's instruction?
If it was Zhang Feng's intention, she could tell him herself. With their relationship, there was no need to have any scruples.
Strange, really strange.
Once a person relaxes, all kinds of strange thoughts tend to pop up in his mind, all kinds of things that can't be stopped.
Now that your own things are done, can you put some effort into other people or things?
Is there anything else I can do?
At this time, Zhang Feng also finished his day's work and gently opened the door. Seeing Wu Di spread out on the sofa, looking lazy, he immediately frowned.
Just as she was about to show off her power, Wu Di said lazily: "My dear, when will we get married?"
The scolding he was about to say suddenly stopped in mid-air, unable to be uttered.
"Lao Zhang won't talk to you about this anymore!"
As expected of their biological father and daughter, Wu Di didn't mention Lao Zhang's name at all, but Zhang Feng had already guessed it.
"I did mention it, but I do want to ask you what you mean. What do you think?"
"Let me declare first, I can do it at any time, it depends on what you want."
Wu Di jumped up, walked up to Zhang Feng, and said half teasingly, half seriously.
Zhang Feng smiled calmly and was no longer anxious.
"Well, don't listen to the old man's nonsense. I made it very clear at the time. Your winning the award does not mean that I won the award. We will definitely get married, but we have to wait until my work is successful."
"Still waiting?"
"My dear, are you really not in a hurry?"
"I can tell you, there are not many men as good as me on the market now, you have to know how to cherish them!"
Wu Di confessed his true feelings, but only got a sideways glance from Zhang Feng.
"just you?"
“Still of good quality?”
"What's wrong with me?"
"Am I not high-quality enough? I am young, handsome, and rich. To say that I am rich and handsome is true."
"Okay, okay, you're handsome, that's it!"
Wu Di has so many advantages, why does Zhang Feng only remember this one word? Sure enough, what this successful director cares most about is the appearance of his boyfriend.
A perfect facial control.
Now that he has been recognized as a handsome guy, Wu Di feels comfortable. This is the appearance recognized by his precious wife.
Absolutely trustworthy.
The two were fooling around for a while, and Zhang Feng suddenly remembered something troubling.
"Actually, I also have something that I would like to hear your opinion on."
"Please tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best." His wife was destined to die, so naturally Wu Di stopped immediately.
No more fussing.
Zhang Feng turned to him: "My new movie needs a leading actor. The role is heavy and he needs to be mature. Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"
"Also, as one of the heroines, I have already chosen Sisi. She took the initiative to take the role. After thinking about it, I found that she is indeed quite suitable."
"Sisi?"
"Are you really planning to use her?"
"Didn't you say last time that she wasn't suitable?" It wasn't that long ago, so why did it change so quickly?
Wu Di was puzzled, but Zhang Feng didn't care.
"Didn't I revise the script? I've listened to all your suggestions, and I've also made some changes to the character design, so it's appropriate."
