Chapter 70: Playing Infernal Affairs at the Film Festival?
Although in theory, the release date of a movie is decided jointly by the distributor and the producer.
But in fact, in order for a movie to be released, it is necessary to report the schedule in advance. Generally speaking, what movie will be released on what schedule, unless it is temporarily changed, can be found from the Chinese Film Distribution and Exhibition Association.
.
This is also the reason why Zhou Gangsheng received the news just after Fanhai Film and Television reported it.
When He Tiancheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's set the May 1st stall!" He Tiancheng made the decision directly.
"Director Huang, do you have any objection?" He Tiancheng looked at Huang Zhenyi with a smile.
"No objection." Huang Zhenyi doesn't pay much attention to young directors like Li Yi.
Because as a veteran director in Hong Kong, it can be said that when he was brilliant, Li Yi was not even born.
Of course, Huang Zhenyi also knows about the grievances between Li Yi and Hong Kong Star, but because of this, Huang Zhenyi has no objection.
It's good to have grudges. In this case, the Hong Kong star will definitely devote himself to it. Without him, if a young boy like Li Yi is allowed to climb up to the top, the most shameless person will be He Tiancheng.
When I learned that "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes" was scheduled to be released on May 1st, and Li Yi's "Mom Love Me Again" was also scheduled to be released on May 1st, the happiest person was not He Tiancheng, but Wu Ting!<
/p>
Regarding the fact that "Mom Love Me Again" was changed on the spot and was widely reported by the media, Wu Ting could not even speak his lines well. It can be said that Wu Ting regarded it as a great shame and humiliation!
For this reason, after he took over the filming of "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes", he also practiced Mandarin pronunciation very, very seriously.
Although he is still not able to truly speak standard Mandarin, it has undergone tremendous changes compared to before. At least, Director Huang Zhenyi is quite satisfied with Wu Ting's pronunciation of lines.
Wu Ting has been holding his breath, and he works hard on the crew and is very dedicated, even for some dangerous scenes, he does not need a stand-in.
All he wanted was to vent his anger and prove to the outside world that it was Li Yi's loss if he, Wu Ting, was not chosen
And now, this opportunity has come, "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes" will be released at the same time as Li Yi's movie!
Wu Ting began to fantasize about the scene after "The Legend of the Walled City" crushed Li Yi's movie at the box office.
......
Time flies, and when you are busy, time always passes quickly!
"Mom Love Me Again" was announced to have finished filming as early as last week.
Today is the viewing party of this film!
Fanhai Film and Television has invited many theater chain representatives.
The difference from before is that this time there are no longer just three or two kittens. Although Li Yi is not a famous director, he has had a well-received and well-received work, and naturally he will not be underestimated! p>
As the publisher and host, Mu Nanxing stood at the door to greet these theater representatives!
"Representative Zhang is here!"
"Representative Ou, please come in!"
"Representative Li, long time no see!"
"..."
Movies are an art of division of labor. Not only do writers, directors, and actors perform their own duties, but after the filming is completed, no matter what kind of movie it is, arranging a viewing party is a necessary process.
Because the distribution of a movie requires the distributor and the theater to sign a contract. The content of the contract includes sharing, film scheduling amount, film scheduling period, etc.
For theaters, they also need to consider comprehensively, not only the quality of the movie, but also the intensity of publicity, topic popularity, exposure, etc.
Today, there are so many representatives from domestic theater chains attending the movie viewing party. On the one hand, it is because Li Yi's movie is indeed worth their time. On the other hand, it is also the result of Mu Nanxing's hard work during this period. p>
Li Yi is also here today, but as a director, there is no need for him to directly receive these theater representatives.
This is Mu Nanxing's job.
However, after other theater representatives entered, Mu Nanxing still looked around, as if waiting for someone.
Soon, Mu Nanxing smiled because the person he was waiting for arrived.
Not far away, a middle-aged man with a magic mirror came over with a young girl.
The reason why Mu Nanxing pays so much attention to Sunglasses Brother Zhong Feng is because Zhong Feng represents Wanxing Cinemas.
Theater chains are also divided into levels. Most of those who entered before were representatives of second- and third-tier theater chains, but Wanxing Cinemas can be ranked among the top ten in terms of scale in the country.
And this guy with sunglasses, Zhong Feng, is considered a big name in this industry.
Known as the Black-faced God!
And because he often wears sunglasses, some people jokingly call him Sunglasses Brother.
But no one can deny that Brother Sunglasses is indeed awesome!
At least his eyes are indeed very vicious and rarely miss his mark.
His rise to fame was a film by the great domestic director Feng Nansheng. The cast of the film was not mentioned at the beginning. Many theater representatives thought the film had good selling points. However, after watching it, Brother Sunglasses submitted it directly.
The viewing report made that movie worthless.
Later, the movie was indeed a huge hit on the street, and his viewing report was also leaked.
After that, Brother Sunglasses began to become famous.
"Manager Zhong, you are here!" Mu Nanxing walked up and said.
Zhong Feng nodded, took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "Manager Mu, am I not late?"
"No, no, it's just right. Please come inside!" Mu Nanxing shook her head quickly.
This Zhong Feng was invited by Mu Nanxing through her father's connections. After all, Zhong Feng is not the only one representing Wanxing Cinemas.
But Mu Nanxing hoped to invite Zhong Feng to attend the movie viewing party by name.
In fact, I also hope to use Zhong Feng’s influence in the theater circle to influence other theater representatives!
Zhong Feng did not introduce the little girl following him to Mu Nanxing, and Mu Nanxing did not pay attention, only thinking that she was Zhong Feng's follower.
But the fact is, that little girl is really not Zhong Feng’s follower.
Her name is Cong Shanshan, and she is Zhong Feng's niece. She also has another identity, the president of Wu Ting's Mainland Fans Support Association.
Yes, she came here to inquire about information, and she came here on her own initiative.
As a die-hard fan of Wu Ting, Cong Shanshan volunteered to contact Wu Ting's agent and said that she could help inquire about the situation of Li Yi's "Mom Love Me Again" which was released at the same time!
As a die-hard fan of Wu Ting, she naturally has no good impression of Li Yi.
"Uncle, why are you expressionless when you come in?" Cong Shanshan was a little curious about how her uncle had a straight face after he came in.
"You don't understand. Your uncle and I are a theater representative. When I come to watch a movie, the most important thing is to manage my expression, because if the theater representative is affected by the movie, he will lose his objectivity and leak information.
Therefore, before signing the contract, we cannot let the film company know our likes and dislikes of the film, so that we can gain the initiative in subsequent contract negotiations!" Zhong Feng whispered patiently.
