"With this progress, let alone the New Year's Day schedule, I'm afraid I may not even be able to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule." Han Fei looked at the post-production situation and had a headache. If he can't catch up with the Spring Festival schedule, he will have to wait at least half a year before it can be released. The cycle
If it is stretched too long, it will disrupt the overall plan for next year.
The film was actually edited in October, and the three post-production teams of "Tiangong" were at full capacity, but the production process was too cumbersome to handle the 3D special effects, so that the speed could not be increased at all.
Yuan Hong thought for a while: "Mr. Han, do you think this will work? In fact, most of our time is wasted on converting 3D images. This technical content is actually not high. It is better to subcontract the project directly and let us use the manpower
If we all work together to overcome the difficulties, the efficiency should be much faster."
In fact, not all scenes in 3D movies are shot by 3D cameras, especially some shots that require high-speed tracking. 3D cameras are too bulky. At this time, you need to use traditional 2D cameras to shoot and then convert them in post.
into 3d.
Of course, this does not mean that the 3D effect converted from 2D is not good. In fact, on the contrary, as long as you are willing to spend money to convert the 2D picture into 3D, the effect may be better than directly shooting it with a 3D camera.
"Okay, you send someone who understands technology to keep an eye on it. Remember, I want every frame to be the best. There is no need to worry about funds. I have enough." Han Fei agreed.
Yuan Hong nodded: "Understood." He was quite convinced of this boss. Once he said he was in charge enough, he really was in charge, unlike some bosses who said they were in charge enough, but in fact they only looked down upon it if the budget was exceeded.
It's ugly.
After outsourcing the conversion project, the progress will obviously be much faster, and it is expected that there will be no problem in releasing it during the Spring Festival.
On the other hand, Qi Chengyun is also worried about the schedule. It is not that he is rushing to meet the schedule. The post-production of "Natural Disaster 1942" is not that strenuous. Although they completed the filming relatively late, since it is a 2D movie and there are no special effects, basically three
It's done in a month.
The most troublesome thing for Qi Chengyun was how to make this drama collide with Han Fei's "Searching for the Dragon". Not only did it have to collide, but it also had to be done seamlessly, so as not to get burned.
Therefore, for Qi Chengyun, the most important thing is to find out the schedule of "Xunlong Jue". Fortunately, with the Xingyi Media producer's sign on his head, the theaters are very generous, and it is confirmed that it will be released during the Spring Festival.
All information about the movies released on the schedule was disclosed to him.
However, Qi Chengyun did not find "The Secret of the Dragon" in these movies.
"Did that guy give up on releasing it at the end of the year?" This is difficult to handle. We can't let him wait until next year, right? Not to mention that brother-in-law Li Junmiao doesn't agree, even director Feng Chi can't agree.
People at the cinema saw Qi Chengyun's expression and thought he was struggling with which release date to release. They couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it's not easy to be a producer for such a big company. Look how embarrassed this guy is.
Already?
Finally, in December, Qi Chengyun got the news he wanted to know most.
"Released during the Spring Festival? It's too late. Hey, we must find a way to postpone the release date."
Qi Chengyun's expression was seen by the theater, and they thought he was frightened when he saw Han Fei suddenly join the battlefield, so he advised: "Mr. Qi, I think it would be better for you to choose to release it on New Year's Day. This Han Fei
It’s not a bad thing. Last year, [Charlotte’s Trouble] swept the same period as a dark horse. This time, [Xunlong Jue] is another big IP with tomb robbing notes..."
Qi Chengyun was not happy when he heard this: "What are you talking about? He is not a good person, but our Director Feng is easy to bully? Despite his arrogance in recent years, he is still too young. Compared with our Director Feng's background, it doesn't matter.
What?"
..... After saying that, he left for transportation. He couldn't decide the schedule alone. He had to go back and discuss it with everyone.
Back at the company, Li Junmiao called the senior executives together for a meeting. Feng Chi was also there. As soon as he heard that Qi Chengyun was going to schedule it for the Spring Festival, it immediately aroused heated discussion.
"Mr. Qi, isn't it too late to schedule the Spring Festival? Since it's the summer holiday anyway, the New Year's Day schedule is also a good choice." A senior executive suggested.
Qi Chengyun shook his head solemnly: "After all, the New Year's Day period is only a three-day holiday, and most companies do not take annual holidays during this period, and year-end bonuses are not issued. In terms of consumption power, the Spring Festival period is stronger."
What he said left the executives present speechless.
However, after a long time, an executive still looked at Feng Chi cautiously: "Actually, the Spring Festival schedule is not bad. The key is, isn't our film a tragedy? If people watch this kind of film during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid the audience will not be able to accept it.
So strong, right?”
"Yes, this movie is indeed not a movie suitable for the whole family." As soon as these words came out, many executives agreed. Those who can reach this position in a film and television company must have two skills.
This made Qi Chengyun anxious, and he quickly said: "The key is that there are too many strong enemies during the New Year's Day schedule. There are five movies with an investment of more than 300 million, and they are all movies from big companies. Even if we squeeze in,
There is not enough film arrangement.”
Li Junmiao coughed twice: "Director Feng, what do you think?"
Feng Chi actually doesn't care about the schedule. He has absolute confidence. In the mainland film market, he has never been afraid of anyone in these years. However, the number of films to be scheduled is indeed worthy of consideration. This film is his ambition, not only
If you want word of mouth, you can't let it down at the box office.
He just wants to show those who think he only makes comedies. It's not that he doesn't know how to make literary films or blockbusters, he just doesn't bother to make them.
"What movies will be released during the Spring Festival?" Feng Chi asked casually.
Qi Chengyun glanced at the document: "The famous director Wang Jin's [Shanghai Beach], and a Hollywood disaster film [Noah's Ark]... and Han Fei's [The Secret of the Dragon]"
Feng Chi couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this: "What kind of famous director is Wang Jin's grandson? He has made so many bad movies, what qualifications does he have to be called a famous director? "Noah's Ark" I have heard of this movie, and it has already been released in North America.
It’s been just half a year since it was released, so that’s it. As for Han Fei’s comedy, it’s interesting to make a comedy, but a 3D movie? I haven’t dared to try it after so many years of filming, him?”
Li Junmiao shook his head secretly. Feng Chi was indeed talented, but his mouth really offended people. If these words were spread, he didn't know how much trouble would be caused.
Another executive reminded: "There is no strong opponent in this schedule, but Han Fei's "The Secret of the Dragon" should not be underestimated. After all, it is the first movie with the IP of "Tomb Raiders Notes"...
"
Qi Chengyun was not happy when he heard this: "Mr. Lan, you are a bit too ambitious for others to destroy your own prestige. Our company is superior to that of Feiniao Film and Television in terms of scale and strength, and Director Feng is even more powerful."
Not to mention the cast and the director Jiang, those new recruits are like younger brothers in terms of box office appeal."
This was true. Seeing that Feng Chi and Qi Chengyun were so confident, Li Junmiao didn't want to say anything demoralizing, so he finally made a decision.
"Then let's set the schedule for the Spring Festival. Mr. Qi, you go negotiate with the theaters. You must beat the competition in terms of the number of films. In addition, the publicity department can also get active, let the actors show their faces more, and increase the popularity.
