In fact, as early as when Hu Shuo was recording the first episode of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", Wenyu Entertainment announced the release dates of two movies controlled and invested by them.
A movie called "The Love Manual" is scheduled to be released on July 20, and another movie called "Detective Wells" is scheduled to be released on August 18.
Neither of these two movies are big productions, but the total investment for the former is 60 million and the total investment for the latter is 80 million.
Although it is not a big production, it can still be considered a medium production. Especially for the precarious Wenyu Group, the total investment of 140 million yuan for the two movies is also a huge expense.
Moreover, this is only the production cost, and the later publicity and distribution expenses are not included. According to the market situation of the Chinese film market, if it is a satisfactory publicity and distribution model, the cost will be about 10 million. If you want to be better, then the cost will be about 10 million.
It will be doubled, and the publicity and distribution expenses of many famous director's blockbusters will even reach 50 to 60 million.
This number is enough to make another low- to medium-cost movie. After all, the production cost of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was only 30 million!
It may seem that such a number of publicity and distribution expenses is a bit outrageous, but in fact it is not. The publicity and distribution expenses of the Chinese film market are actually discounted. In Hollywood, the publicity and distribution expenses of a movie are basically the same as the production expenses.
For example, if the production cost of a movie is 100 million U.S. dollars, then its publicity and distribution expenses will be almost 100 million U.S. dollars. In this comparison, the publicity and distribution expenses of the Chinese Film Market appear to be much "cheap".
Creation Entertainment.
Hu Shuo called Yang Jian and Feng Haibo to his office.
In this summer season, Chuangshi Entertainment will of course have movies to release, one is "If You Are the One" directed by Yang Jian and starring Ma Ye, and the other is "Manslaughter" directed and starring Feng Haibo.
In addition to these two movies, the animated movie "Pleasant Goat: Jungle Adventure" produced by Flash Animation will also be released in the summer. The scheduled release date is July 20, which is the same as "The Love Manual" produced by Wenyu Group.
Released today.
In other words, Chuangshi Entertainment actually has three movies released this summer, but except for "Pleasant Goat: Jungle Adventure" which has been scheduled, the other two movies have not been scheduled.
The reason why Hu Shuo has not confirmed the release date for the two films is that he is waiting for news from Wenyu Group. Hu Shuo knows in his heart that the outcome of his contest with Wenyu Group should be announced soon. At this critical juncture,
, he must pursue the victory and fight to the death with the opponent.
So, this summer vacation is naturally an opportunity. What he wants is to use the movies produced by his own company to compete head-on with the movies produced by Wenyu Group like before.
Therefore, if the movie produced by Wenyu Group is not scheduled to be released, the movie produced by Chuangshi Entertainment will not be released either. Now, both movies produced by Wenyu Group are scheduled to be released.
Then, it’s naturally time for the movie produced by Chuangshi Entertainment to be finalized.
"Brother Jian, you have worked hard these days. I am planning to have "If You Are the One" released on July 20th. We will have a premiere on the 18th."
Hu Shuo said to Yang Jian while drinking tea.
"No problem. Anyway, the early exposure rate is not low. If we focus on promoting it for a few days, the effect should not be bad."
As a work written by Hu Shuo, it is also a new work created by the original team of "Heart Blossoms", coupled with the popularity of the variety show "If You Are the One", this movie version of "If You Are the One" has attracted much attention since the filming started
, during the filming period, the crew also conducted several media visits, which served as a warm-up for the movie. Therefore, the attention and popularity of "If You Are the One" are actually not low.
Under this premise, if we focus on large-scale publicity a few days before the release, even if the release is relatively late, the impact on the box office should not be bad. After all, today's audiences have become more rational.
To win high box office, the most important thing is to look at word of mouth.
"Brother Shuo, you are going to compete with Wen Yu in the ring again."
Feng Haibo, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile.
Hu Shuo nodded: "Try harder and knock them down."
"Haha, no need to ask, then my "Manslaughter" will be released on August 18th, right?" Feng Haibo smiled.
"You are smart."
"So, your promotion cycle is completely sufficient, just follow the normal process, preview the screenings one week before the release, and then run a road show..."
Hu Shuo replied.
"Okay!"
"Anyway, I am confident that "Manslaughter" is a thief. It seems that there are no such awesome suspense detective films in China."
Feng Haibo is full of confidence.
Hu Shuo nodded: "I also have confidence in this film!"
afternoon.
The news of the release date of "If You Are the One" and "Manslaughter" was announced through the official Weibo of Chuangshi Pictures. At the same time, Hu Shuo, the screenwriter and producer of the two films, also confirmed the news on his personal Weibo
.
When such news came out, it naturally caused quite a stir on the Internet. It was ordinary news that the movie was scheduled to be released, but the problem is that the release time of these two movies produced by Chuangshi Pictures is very "intriguing"
.
"If You Are the One" is scheduled to be released on July 20.
"Manslaughter" is scheduled to be released on 8.18.
The former of the two movies has the same release date as "The Love Manual", and the latter has the same release date as "Detective Welles". The meaning of the two movies is very obvious.
Combined with the box office battle between "The God of Medicine" and "The Savior" that just concluded, the purpose of Hu Shuo's operation is naturally very clear.
"Haha, it looks like there's another thing to eat!"
“I guess Wen Yu’s two films will hit the streets again!”
"I'm glad to hear it. Next time I want to know when the new movie produced by Brother Shuo will be released, just look at Wenyu's movie release date!"
"Brother Shuo: Yes, I am targeting the Wenyu Group! If you don't accept it, come and fight!"
"You see, this is what happens when you offend Brother Shuo, and you still block him? You target him. Is he okay now?"
"It seems that Wenyu Group's stock is about to fall to the limit again. My classmate bought the stock at a very low price, thinking that it would rebound no matter what, but the result..."
"Haha, meet my classmates again series, I feel sorry for the person upstairs..."
"Buying Wenyu's stocks at this time makes you really wealthy!!"
"The melon seed snacks are ready, ready to eat melon..."
Netizens are happy to see this kind of operation, and they are all waiting to see a good show.
Compared to netizens who are just watching the excitement and are not afraid of big troubles, Wenyu Group is not so relaxed.
In the conference room.
Everyone looked solemn.
Cao Zechu's gloomy face was about to "rain".
"Hu Shuo is just a dog-skin plaster. Now there are only five days left before July 20, and he has asked "If You Are the One" to be released urgently. This is obviously his intention to fight with us to the end!"
One executive complained with a red face and a rough neck.
"Yeah, how could the film be scheduled only five days before the release? Only Hu Shuo can do this!" someone agreed.
"Otherwise, let's postpone the release for a week. It would not be wise to have a head-to-head confrontation with Hu Shuo at this time!" Another executive suggested.
After several head-to-head contests with Hu Shuo, the top management within Wenyu Group did not believe that they could win in a head-to-head confrontation with Hu Shuo. Therefore, after learning about the news that "If You Are the One" and "Manslaughter" were finalized, they
The instinctive reaction is how to avoid, not how to defeat the opponent.
