#1056 schedule collision
For the release of a movie, the schedule was determined half a year ago or even a year ago.
Therefore, without special accidents, the film company will basically not disrupt its own movie plan to release.
Even if there is any change, then at most it will only change slightly and there will not be too much change.
Otherwise, if you adjust the release schedule of the movie, it will be a huge problem for theaters. They will basically have to adjust all other movies released during this period.
But if you really encounter blockbusters that have the ability to sweep the box office and cause other movies to drop sharply during the same period, the film company will not sit still and wait for death, and watch their own movies collide with such box office killer-type blockbusters in a very miserable way.
Harrison immediately convened senior management of the company to study whether the release schedule of "The Pacific Battle" needs to be temporarily adjusted.
At the beginning of the year, he did not take the heart that Oriental DreamWorks would release a Chinese historical blockbuster in the summer. He even intended to arrange for the national historical blockbuster "The Pacific Battle" which has a special status in the hearts of the American people, to be released in the summer.
In the same blockbuster, the same special effects, the same big scene, Harrison said about ∧■ding∧■dian■■■xiao■■, .∞.o◎The Pacific Battle was full of confidence in the local box office. At that time, he was still wondering whether Oriental DreamWorks would choose to temporarily adjust the release time.
After all, for Hollywood, two historical blockbusters, one abroad and the other national, the people's intention to watch these two movies is undoubtedly biased towards their own historical blockbusters.
Moreover, the war between the United States and Japan in the Pacific in World War II made the United States a fuse for joining World War II. How could such a movie with unique historical status not be liked by the American people?
At the beginning of the year, Harrison was full of confidence in "The Battle of the Pacific", and even now he is still full of confidence in the movie.
But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy inside.
Or are you worried that "The Pacific Decisive Battle" will lose to Oriental DreamWorks' Chinese historical blockbuster "The Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" at the box office?
Although this idea is extremely ridiculous, Harrison still feels very uneasy. He really has to be alert because of the other party’s performance in the copyright lawsuit of “Iron Man”. Isn’t the fall of this time still deep enough? Isn’t it a big loss?
"Everyone talk about the company's views on the summer screening plan. Is the schedule of "Pacific Decisive Battle" feasible?"
In the conference room, Harrison spoke directly about the theme of today's meeting.
Although Dimei still has another movie in the summer season, it is a low-cost comedy movie and is released in the middle of the summer season. It has no competitors. Even if there is one, Dimei won't take it seriously. Anyway, it's just a small cost of only a few million meters.
However, the production cost of "The Battle of the Pacific" is as high as 120 million meters, and this movie is the highlight of the company in the summer season.
"According to the filming schedule in theaters, our company's biggest rival in "The Pacific Battle" should be "The Red Cliff" introduced by Oriental DreamWorks. However, the two movies are very different, both in terms of cultural background and era background, and I think there is no problem. Even if there is a problem, I think local movie fans should accept "The Pacific Battle" more. After all, this movie is about the history of our own country, isn't it?"
"With that being said, the other party's movie is coming in full force. I heard that the Chinese government's cultural department attaches great importance to the Oriental Dream Factory's film and is regarded as the best way to promote Chinese culture. Therefore, the senior management of the Chinese government's cultural department has already greeted our country's film distribution management department. At that time, the green light will be given to the movie "The Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" in the release of the movie."
"I don't think these are the problems, but the movie Oriental DreamWorks is ahead of all our Hollywood film companies in terms of publicity. It is not only a traditional promotion channel, but now there are discussions and posts about this Chinese historical blockbuster on the Internet."
..
Everyone was talking about it and expressed their opinions and opinions.
However, in general, most senior executives of Dimei did not take the historical blockbuster Oriental DreamWorks to heart. Even if the "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" has the lead in both the release and the promotion, it is not a big problem for them.
Because in the eyes of all of them, the Oriental DreamWorks "The Red Cliff" may be the same as the previous exchanges between the Chinese government's cultural department for several domestic historical films and the American cultural department. Even if the American cultural department takes care of it, local American movie fans and audiences will not buy it.
Just like every year, the American film industry will use several art films with deep connotations to be released in China theaters through the American cultural department, but not many Chinese movie fans will buy it.
This kind of exchange was extremely frequent after the end of World War II. It was because the domestic people were also very curious about the foreign world and the effect was very good.
However, in the past decade, the effect of this kind of film and cultural exchange has become worse and worse. Moreover, with the opening of the film market, such official exchanges have become less and less, and it only takes one once every two or three years.
"I remember a movie that the Chinese cultural department attached great importance to a few years ago. It was released in the United States for a month, and the box office seemed to have not exceeded 5 million meters!"
"Confucius Academy!"
"It's Confucius. I heard it was the founder of the founder of Confucius Institute, but for us people, no one bought it."
"There will not be a market for Chinese historical films in Hollywood, so we don't have to worry."
..
Everyone in the conference room was talking about their own opinions. When they saw that Harrison had no objection, the discussion became more lively.
At the same time, I was even more worried about the movie "The Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, the truth is the same. Not to mention historical movies, even the most popular movie in China may not necessarily have the same outstanding box office results when released in the United States.
Cultural barriers and unacceptable conditions are ironclad.
Harrison listened to the opinions of all the company's senior executives, and couldn't help but wonder if he was dian's nervous system?
To put it bluntly, no matter how the other party promotes it, it is just a blockbuster film of Chinese history.
Even though this blockbuster has many special effects shots and dazzling war scenes, it is still a movie set in Chinese history. This is innately an irresistible wall for the American people.
Have you been too cautious?
At this moment, some words from the other people in the conference room came into his ears.
"In fact, no matter whether the other party's production cost exceeds 300 million meters, or because of Yang Ming, we, Dimei, do not need to adjust the schedule, otherwise what will other Hollywood companies think of us?"
"Yes, the news in the media outside these days is not very nice."
Maybe it was because he noticed the slightly gloomy look on Harrison's face. The senior management who had just said these words instantly realized, stopped the topic, and the voices of others became smaller and smaller.
Everyone knows what they just said may make the president unhappy again.
Originally, because of the copyright lawsuit for "Iron Man", Dimei Film has now become a laughing stock in the hearts of everyone in Hollywood.
At the same time, because of this incident, Dimei lost the copyright of the movie "Superman", which also caused Harrison to suffer great pressure within the company in recent days.
Although it is said to be the sequel of "Superman" by the two companies jointly filmed, for the senior executives, this is purely a whitewashed lie.
In terms of directors, actors, and crew, Dimei no longer has any decision-making power. Even if Dimei has a 100% investment ratio, what can it do?
Everyone knows that the so-called joint shooting is just a fig leaf.
Harrison immediately noticed the change in the atmosphere in the conference room and felt a little angry. It seemed that because of this failure, someone wanted to challenge his prestige in the company.
However, his face did not change at all, and then he tapped his fingers on the table and said lightly: "Since everyone agrees that the schedule will not be changed, then it will not be changed."
After saying this, Harrison said softly and left the conference room directly after leaving the meeting.
When he returned to his office, a sneer appeared on his face, feeling dissatisfied with the results of everyone's discussion just now.
I was also disappointed with the company's senior executives. I also regarded others as a pig's brain.
Others don't know, but none of the young Yang Ming and Barber, the old fox, are Yi Yu. When Cole's foolish tricks, they can take the opportunity to dig a big hole and wait for Di Mei to jump in.
From this we know that these two guys cannot do something unsure.
Yes, the movie "The Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed a Chinese historical film, but this does not mean that this movie cannot be successful in the American film market.
Although he didn't know where the movie was sold, Harrison guessed that there must be something unusual about this movie.
This is also the reason why he always feels uneasy in his heart.
It is impossible for Yang Ming and Barber to not have thought of this, so the other party must have a way to deal with this problem.
"snort."
Harrison sneered. He was still considering what reason to adjust the schedule, but now it seems that he doesn't use any reason at all.
Let those pigs pay for the bill.
Even if the box office of "The Battle of the Pacific" is blocked by "The Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", it is not his Harrison's problem.
The ad push of "The Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" on WeChat Moments seemed like a bomb exploded, causing crazy reactions in the summer season of the global movie circle.
As the summer season gets closer, several movies that have already been confirmed for release have begun to carry out overwhelming publicity, and various publicity methods are emerging one after another.
Of course, this is also a way for strong film companies to play. As for other small film companies that are limited in costs, they only send leaflets.
Yang Ming did not pay much attention to the promotion before the release of "The Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms", and the plan has been confirmed. Whether it is local, European, and American, Liu Xinsheng, Barber and Manager Liang will stare at it, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
So he focused on "The Love of Man and Ghost".
Ms. Ubi, who has long been confirmed to play the role of the psychic media Ota, received a call from Yang Ming and immediately flew to China to find Yang Ming, becoming the first person to report on the crew.
Yang Ming can also understand Ms. Who has been waiting for this movie for more than half a year.
Moreover, during the past six months, Ms. Wubi has been conducting actor training. Although her acting skills cannot change drastically compared to before, as the first actor to get a role template, after half a year of contemplation, Yang Ming estimated that no matter how bad the acting skills are, she will definitely make great progress.
What's more, Whoopi still has a certain actor foundation.
Just as Yang Ming took Susu to the already determined outdoor shooting site and was about to start the shooting, he received a complaint call from his uncle.
"I said you kid really did something, and you patted your butt and ran away. Leave me to wipe your butt! Geely Auto's advertising department is almost driven crazy by us. You can't show any obvious advertising slogans, and you can't make users feel that this is a sales advertising requirement, which is too tormenting. Moreover, you kid yourself seemed to be advertising for "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", so you didn't follow this requirement. Now the people from Geely Auto are holding you in "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" and I'm going to be driven crazy."
Through the phone, Yang Ming heard Li Xingyi's nagging and was sweating profusely, and laughed non-stop.
There is no way, who told him that in order to maximize the advertising effect of "The Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" in WeChat Moments, he violated his requirements?
He asked his uncle for his request, and with the idea of pushing advertisements in his circle of friends, he not only marked a sky-high price for advertisements that were pushed up at most once a month, but also made many restrictions on the creative ideas of the advertisements.
Of course, Yang Ming's requests were also unanimously approved by the staff under WeChat.
For these professional Internet people, the importance of user experience is the most troublesome thing. It is absolutely impossible to make such advertising push that disrupts the user experience in order to make advertising profits.
Therefore, the requirements for the promotion of advertising in WeChat circles are very strict.
In addition to advertising prices, it is enough to make most companies feel broken, and advertising creativity is also enough to make many advertising production teams desperate.
Damn, how is this an advertisement made by people?
At least this is what people at Geely Auto think now.
There should be no obvious advertising words that promote a certain car model, there should be no obvious advertising words that praise Geely Auto, there should be no obvious advertising words that praise Geely Auto.
A few people couldn't do it, and instantly the Geely Auto representative who arrived at the WeChat company was shocked and confused!
I spent so much money, but you even said that this is not possible, that is not possible.
Didn’t it mean that customers are God? Why did you get to the WeChat company? It seems that people like WeChat are the masters?
For this reason, people from Geely Auto Company called the boss and told the WeChat company the abnormal requirements, but what made them feel disappointed was that Mr. Li seemed to be very interested in the WeChat company's requirements.
Seeing the other party's situation, Li Xingyi couldn't help but think of Yang Ming's words and said with a smile: "What we do is not advertising, but creativity; what we push is not advertising, but sentiment!"
Chapter completed!
