Naturally, I met Liu Jianshe for the release of "Eternal Night"!
Wu Jianye had told Feng Pants about the movie schedule before, and this time he found Liu Jianshe and actually had the same intention!
This meeting was in Liu Jianshe's office. At this time, Liu Jianshe had long been one of the most powerful figures in China Film Group, except for the boss above.
At this time, Liu Jianshe's office also changed from the previous two years. In the past few years, the decoration style of Liu Jianshe's office was still that of the 1970s and 1980s, but now it has been completely changed, and it is almost the same as that of later generations.
"Brother, this office is nice!" Wu Jianye said casually, sitting opposite Liu Jianshe.
Liu Jianshe laughed and said with a hint of regret in his tone: "That's it!"
Wu Jianye knew that Liu Jianshe's official career had almost reached this point, and the things involved in it were much more than those involved in a movie, so Wu Jianye was not in the mood to get involved, otherwise
He wouldn't have chosen to make movies or do business back then.
"Already better than many people!"
Liu Jianshe smiled and did not continue the topic. He smiled and said: "I can see you today, so your movie has been completed!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Well, the shooting was completed yesterday, and now it's time for post-production!"
The post-production of "Eternal Night" was more troublesome than the post-production of all the films Wu Jianye shot before, even more than the post-production of "Jurassic Park".
Liu Jianshe smiled and said: "I am also a little curious, after investing nearly 200 million yuan in a movie, what kind of movie will it be like!"
Liu Jianshe naturally knows more than ordinary reporters, so he is also very clear about the investment in Wu Jianye's film.
In fact, up to now, this movie has not only increased investment in special effects, but also increased investment in shooting costs. This involves, but Wu Jianye did not calculate, the length of time for military assistants and other scenes.
The cost of filming increased, and these two items basically increased the investment by nearly 6 million.
But Wu Jianye didn't care much about the money.
"You can see it by the end of the year..." Wu Jianye then explained the film schedule to Liu Jianshe.
"New Year's Eve schedule?" This is not the first time that Liu Jianshe has heard about movie schedules, but that is something that only happens in the film industry in Hong Kong or Europe and the United States. Unexpectedly, Wu Jianye has also raised the issue of movie schedules in China.
.
"Yes, the promotion of movie schedules can actually promote the development of the film industry. When these schedules are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, audiences will habitually go to the cinema to watch movies at that time. It is not just the Lunar New Year movies.
, there are also Spring Festival stalls, May Day stalls, summer stalls, National Day stalls, etc.!”
Wu Jianye made a special trip to find Liu Jianshe this time. Naturally, it was impossible to specify only a Lunar New Year schedule. If possible, he hoped to start the domestic movie schedule from next year and start promoting it.
These schedules are all holidays, and the promotion of movie schedules is also conducive to the various styles of movies currently being filmed entering different schedules.
Liu Jianshe also became interested after being told by Wu Jianye. He asked his secretary to get two cups of tea, and then said: "Please tell me carefully about these schedules."
Wu Jianye immediately said: "Let's talk about this Lunar New Year period. At this time, families basically go to the cinema together. Most of the movies released during this period should be family-friendly comedy movies, such as
Now for some movies shot by Chen Peisi, as well as last year's "Sanmao Joins the Army" and other movies, the situation in the Spring Festival movie is similar to that in the Lunar New Year movie. The May Day movie is basically a movie for adults.
Show some more in-depth movies. During the summer, when students are on vacation, you can show some movies with visual impact, which are what Hollywood calls blockbusters. The National Day movie is special because of its special features.
Sex, we can release some movies with the main theme..."
Naturally, it is impossible to describe the movie schedule in just a few words. After Wu Jianye gave a brief explanation, Liu Jianshe immediately asked some questions that he had just thought of.
At the end of the talk, there were other small schedules, and Wu Jianye also told Liu Jianshe about them.
After a long time, Liu Jianshe said: "So, you are planning to have your movie released in the summer next year?"
According to what Wu Jianye just said about the various schedules, Liu Jianshe believes that Wu Jianye's movie should be the so-called super blockbuster!
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "I hope it can be released during the Lunar New Year this year!"
It is now early June, and the post-production special effects and editing production of the movie "Eternal Night" can be completed in almost six months. There is no problem in releasing it during the Lunar New Year this year.
In fact, the plot and scenes of this movie are more in line with what Liu Jianshe said, and it is suitable for release in the summer season. However, Wu Jianye obviously couldn't wait that long, so it was released in the Lunar New Year season early.
Liu Jianshe asked worriedly: "Will this affect the box office of the movie?"
The movie "Eternal Night" will not only be screened in Fengge Cinema, but will also be screened in part of the China Film Academy courtyard that has been completed this year. Liu Jianshe is naturally very concerned about the box office of this movie.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "I really don't have confidence in this matter. The situation of this movie is a bit special. It is still open to question whether the audience will approve it!"
This is the first time that Liu Jianshe has seen Wu Jianye being so unsure of his movies. However, the more this happens, the more Liu Jianshe is surprised. In the past, Wu Jianye was very confident in his movies.
But now, in this movie, Wu Jianye's biggest investment in the country, he actually has no confidence in him.
If you don’t have confidence, why did you take the photo in the first place?
Even if you want to shoot, why invest so much?
Liu Jianshe raised his own questions.
Naturally, Wu Jianye couldn't tell Liu Jianshe that because this movie was his own creation, he naturally couldn't be as confident about this movie as his previous movies.
"First of all, this type of movie has never appeared in China. Secondly, the story of this movie is very grand. Almost every character in it has his own story. But it is impossible to tell this movie in one go, so
I’m worried that some viewers may not understand it!”
"Didn't you already make this movie into two parts?" Liu Jianshe asked.
The movie "Eternal Night" will be released in two parts. It has been an open secret for a long time, and Liu Jianshe naturally knows it.
"By the way, when are you going to release the second part?" Liu Jianshe suddenly thought of another question.
"The second part will be released in the summer of next year!" Wu Jianye has already planned it. Although these things need to be reported to China Film and Radio and Television, Wu Jianye believes that his movie will not encounter any problems.
obstructed.
Liu Jianshe nodded, knowing that he had to take action now. After all, the filming of the movie had ended, and he had no choice but to say anything else, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Well, I'll just wait for your good news!
"
Although Wu Jianye said that he did not have much confidence in this movie, Liu Jianshe was still willing to believe that Wu Jianye could continue to create domestic box office myths. After all, Wu Jianye had been very successful before this!
"As for the movie schedule, I will discuss it with the boss, but I think there should be no problem with this kind of thing. Junior brother, this time you have come up with a good way to help our domestic film industry!" Liu
Jianshe said with a smile.
Although the schedule issue seems to be a very simple issue, it is just like what people often say about transparency and opacity. In fact, it is the same thing that is separated by a layer of window paper. Now Wu Jianye is helping everyone to make it clear.
This layer of window paper was pierced, which was a great achievement for Liu Jianshe and others.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Well, then everything will be troublesome for senior brother!"
This is where Wu Jianye is smart. In fact, for the promotion of this kind of schedule, even if Wu Jianye does not find China Film, relying on the current domestic layout of Fengge Cinema and Wu Jianye's domestic influence,
It can still be done, but if China Film Group joins, it will not only buy the other party a good one, but also achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Even though distribution companies in various provinces and cities have now established their own joint theater chains, they are still nominally under the leadership of China Film.
With their participation, the process of this matter can also be accelerated.
At noon, Liu Jianye left Wu Jianye to dine in the China Film canteen. During this period, he met many China Film leaders. They all smiled and chatted with Wu Jianye and asked about the progress of Wu Jianye's new movie.
This allowed some new staff members to understand Wu Jianye's influence in China Film.
After finishing his trip to China Film Studio, Wu Jianye went directly to Tangting Culture!
Here Wu Jianye found Liu Tianlai, the head of Sanqian Universe Studio, and Ma Yicheng, the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics who had been in China during this period.
"How is it? Are you still used to it during this time in Yanjing?" Wu Jianye sat in his office, opposite Liu Tianlai and Ma Yicheng.
Ma Yicheng smiled and said: "It's okay, the weather in Yanjing is very good now, there's nothing I'm not used to!"
The reason why Ma Yicheng is in Yanjing is because the comics of Three Thousand Universes will be launched this month. The comics launched in China are naturally the comic magazines established by Three Thousand Universes Studio and the Film Academy. At the same time, this comic is also
It will be launched in Hong Kong, and at the same time, it will use the channels of Sanmiao Comics to open its channels throughout Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States.
Ma Yicheng came here mainly to check the progress of the comics of Three Thousand Universes. At the same time, he also wanted to get the first-hand manuscript and return to Xiangjiang to revise the language and text.
Domestic ones are naturally in simplified Chinese, while Sanmiao Comics is in Cantonese, and there are also various languages responsible for overseas channels.
The purpose is to achieve simultaneous global listing.
"When will you return to Xiangjiang?" Wu Jianye asked.
Ma Yicheng replied: "I will go back in the past two days. The first volume of the comic "Origin" of Three Thousand Universes has been completed. I will go back immediately to let the studio in Xiangjiang start working!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "In that case, let's go there together. I happen to be going to Xiangjiang to do something!"
Ma Yicheng naturally had no objection.
In fact, Ma Yicheng has already guessed the reason why Wu Jianye went to Xiangjiang. It was definitely not for the launch of "Origin" of Three Thousand Universes, but for the separation of Tunan Technology and Yaoguang Group.
Now this matter is making headlines in the economic section of major newspapers in Hong Kong almost every day. As the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics, an important company under Yiwang Group, Ma Yicheng naturally knows Wu Jianye's true identity.
Wu Jianye would definitely be present for this kind of thing.
Even knowing these things, Ma Yicheng could not help but be surprised. Being in Xiangjiang, he was exposed to more news reports, and naturally he became more aware of Tunan Technology's global influence. Thinking that his boss was Tunan
The boss behind the technology is really hard to believe.
Wu Jianye then asked Liu Tianlai about the story of Three Thousand Universes.
Since the first comic released is called Origin, it naturally tells the story of the origin of the Three Thousand Universes.
The origin of the Three Thousand Universes is actually based on a Honghuang-ryu novel that Wu Jianye read when he was reborn. That novel is also known as the originator of Honghuang-ryu.
It tells the story of the birth of Pangu in the chaos, and the creation of the world, but three thousand gods and demons stopped him. After a great battle, Pangu succeeded in creating the world, but each of the three thousand gods and demons also created their own universe.
After Wu Jianye heard this, he nodded and said, "The company will start publicity for the launch of this comic. I hope you can live up to the company's hopes!"
New stories and new comics, Wu Jianye naturally has to vigorously promote them.
To this end, a publicity fund of 10 million was specially allocated to Sanqian Universe Studio in the hope of achieving significant influence at the initial stage.
Liu Tianlai said: "Director Wu, don't worry, we have contacted Tangting Culture's public relations department, and they will help us with the publicity!"
Wu Jianye said: "The other thing is to communicate well with the Film Academy. Although this magazine is led by you, you can't really just ignore the Film Academy!"
In fact, in this cooperation, the film school only paid for the qualifications and will not participate in the creation and management of comics, but the necessary procedures are still in place!
Liu Tianlai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take note of this!"
After chatting with the two for a while, Wu Jianye learned about their plans for this comic and stopped asking.
After the two left, Wu Jianye took a look at the things that Tangting Culture had accumulated during this period, and then prepared to attend the celebration banquet of "Alive"!
