Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh sent to the door to slap the face
Wu Yusen was also in a very unhappy mood, so he blurted out this sentence, which could be regarded as a hint that the failure of this film was not solely his fault.
But he didn't expect Wang Zhongjun to reply immediately, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Wu Yusen's face was livid. Over the past few decades, except for the unpleasant experience in Hollywood, there has never been a company CEO in the three places across the Taiwan Strait who did not try to please him in every possible way.
Forget about fighting him, it’s too late to win him over!
Next to him, Kang Pei watched the play with great interest. Now the bird-like appearance of "The Taiping Wheel" has no value to him. Anyway, the overseas copyright and the guarantee were sold, and he made a small profit.
It seems that Wu Yusen's impression in the audience's mind is too bad, otherwise the early box office would be unreasonable.
Like Wang Zhongjun, a director who rushes into the street is of little use to Kang Pei.
Ordinary potential directors may not have a chance to make a comeback after they fall off the street, because unlike these famous directors, they have high self-esteem and often take things for granted. Many times they are too self-centered and unwilling to compromise for the sake of the market.
Because even if they are on the street, they still don't have to worry about having no films to shoot, while ordinary potential newcomers are more motivated, more hardworking, and willing to compromise for the sake of the market.
However, Kang Pei would not admit that when he originally selected the film's schedule, after repeated investigations and research, it was finally set on December 4th, and he dismissed "The Year in a Hurry" which was released on the 5th.
They didn't care. Zhang Zhao was worried to death. The guarantee was the money he spent. If the box office flopped too badly, only his family would lose.
Moreover, Kang Pei is now extremely disappointed with Wu Yusen, and he was even beaten by a low-budget movie like "The Year in a Hurry".
"Actually, Wang Xiaoming is also a good actor. After all, he also won the Golden Rooster Award and was recognized by the audience. He may not have performed well this time. Director Wu was also worried about the movie and was too impatient. We all understand." Zhang Zhao quickly smoothed things over.
It was okay if Zhang Zhao didn't say anything, but as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yusen's face turned ugly again.
Wang Xiaoming was indeed one of the Mesozoic actors in Mainland China who had the best achievements on the big screen. He was the second male lead in "The Wind" and the first male lead in "Partners in China". They all performed very well and were box office hits. He even won the title in one fell swoop
He has surpassed the Golden Rooster Best Actor, and has overtaken Chen Kun and Liu Ye, who were the first to work on the big screen at that time. There is a faint trend of being the first person in the Mesozoic generation.
However, both of these movies were made by Tang An. Wang Xiaoming performed so well in Tang An's movies, with high box office and winning awards, but with his movie, the box office was a hit and the awards were out of the question.
Isn't this a clear irony that I am not as good at training actors as Tang An!
Zhang Zhao saw Wu Yusen's face and knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he had no time to worry about it now, so he quickly changed the topic and started discussing a plan.
"Director Kang, Director Wang, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. "The Year in a Hurry" was a hit, and "One Step Away" will follow. If the box office cannot pick up as soon as possible, there will be no way to recover.
"Zhang Zhao said eagerly.
"What good idea does Mr. Zhang have?" Kang Pei asked, but he couldn't think of anything else.
Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment, his mind racing. After a while, he said, "Now "The Wheel" is not as popular as "Detective Chinatown 2" and "The Year in a Hurry". We must arouse the audience's attention.
Pay attention and be curious, this is the first and most important step."
Hearing that Zhang Zhao had an idea, everyone looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to come up with some good ideas.
"If we need a topic, what is the most popular thing at the moment, we have to find a way to connect them together."
Wang Zhongjun immediately said, "Bundled marketing with "Detective Chinatown 2"? There is nothing to make a fuss about in both films."
Zhang Zhao shook his head, "It's not "Detective Chinatown 2". There is another person now. Any news related to him will soon become popular."
Who can overshadow the hit Lunar New Year movie?"
Everyone was a little confused, but they quickly came to their senses.
There is only one person in the film and television industry who can do this.
Kang Pei frowned slightly, "You're talking about Tang An."
"That's right."
Zhang Zhaodao said, "Although there is no news related to Tang An now, as long as something happens to him, he will soon attract the attention of the audience."
"Then why is it connected with Tang An?" Wang Zhongjun asked immediately.
Before the release of this film, it would have been okay if Wu Yusen had repeatedly blasted the media and criticized Tang An, but now that the movie has been sold out at the box office, it would be embarrassing if he continued to do so, and the audience would just treat it as a joke.
""Operation Red Sea" is a war movie, and "Passengers" can also be regarded as a war movie, so there is a natural connection."
Zhang Zhao directly stated his thoughts, and the focus of publicity shifted from romance films to war films, and he also took advantage of Tang An's "Operation Red Sea" to gain popularity.
There is no way around this, and I have even thought of a rough plan.
The focus of publicity has changed. At the same time, some media were found to interview Wu Yusen, mainly about war movies, and then "Operation Red Sea", which is also a war movie, was brought in to let Wu Yusen talk big. The media also created momentum and included "Taiping"
Blow to the same level as "Operation Red Sea".
Although this won't completely boost the movie box office, it will at least create one more hot spot.
Promoting disaster love has failed. No matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse. It's better to change the idea and maybe it will have miraculous results.
The few of them were talking too close together, and they had already figured out the specific execution plans and steps, without any regard for Wu Yusen sitting next to them.
It felt unpleasant to be ignored, and Wu Yusen felt aggrieved as he had to ride on Tang An's popularity to save his movie.
Wu Yusen opened his mouth to reject their idea, but when he thought of his current situation, he sighed secretly and remained silent.
No matter what, the most important thing to Wu Yusen right now is the box office of "Tai Ping Huan".
After the discussion, they talked about the release date of the second part. After all, the box office of the first part was dismal and the reputation was not good, which will definitely have an impact on the second part, and the box office may be even lower.
"How about moving it to June to avoid the summer release." Wang Zhongjun suggested.
Originally, they planned to release it in the summer. After all, the Spring Festival is too soon. They have to wait for the movie to be released on the video website to attract enough viewers to attract the viewers who watched the first part on the computer to come to the cinema to watch the second part.
But the way things are now, going to the summer season is just asking for death.
Zhang Zhao denied it flatly, "I think it's better to release it in the summer. The lower part will be affected by the upper part, and the box office will definitely not be ideal. It won't be worse no matter what. It's better to release it in the summer. After all, it's the best time."
, the market is enough, the audience is enough, maybe we can get a piece of cake!"
To put it nicely, it's like sharing a piece of the cake. In fact, what Zhang Zhao means is that since he is on the road, he might as well find a good time and see if he can drink some leftover soup between several blockbusters.
If there are no blockbuster movies in the normal schedule, the market will not be popular, and "Under the Wheel" is likely to be ignored.
If there are blockbusters, and the market is low, it is more likely to be eaten up by one or two blockbusters, and then you won't even be able to drink the soup.
Kang Pei thought it made sense. There was no hope anyway, so he might as well give it a try.
If you avoid the summer season, the box office will be around 200 million at most. If you switch to the summer season, the box office will be over 100 million no matter how bad it is, and you may be able to drink a few more sips of soup.
If you break a jar and smash it, you might be able to find a treasure.
However, Wu Yusen finally couldn't help but speak.
"I don't think it should be released in the summer. The competition is too fierce. It's better to choose a time with less competition."
Mudd, back then "Red Cliff" was killed by Tang An, and this year it was swept by "Detective Chinatown 2". We still have to rely on Tang An's popularity to boost the box office.
Now, if he is asked to face Tang An again next year, isn't this like sending him in front of Tang An, putting his face close to his face and letting him beat him!
Wu Yusen would never agree. It was just a matter of three things. He couldn't let Tang An defeat him three times, let alone take the initiative to send him to his door to seek death and sell swords?
