Chapter 567: It feels like meeting the parents (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
In the villa.

After the three of them came back, Liu Yifei caught Su Chang and was torturing him.

Gu Wei was in the study, writing a script.

The content of the script is naturally the one from the Jurassic series.

In the original time and space, the fourth film in the Jurassic series was renamed "Jurassic Park". The brand-new story content, coupled with 3D special effects, made it well received as soon as it was released.

I wouldn’t dare say that it can directly surpass the first one, but it is indeed better than the latter two in terms of box office and word of mouth.

What Gu Wei is doing now is to write out the general content and make slight modifications to the details.

When it comes to the scripts of Hollywood blockbusters, it’s really hard to put it into words.

As a result, most audiences around the world watch Hollywood special effects movies just for the visual effects and don’t really want to study the plot carefully.

Hey, let’s not talk about it!

When it comes to story writing, we really have to look to the Chinese. When it comes to writing nonsense... creating stories with wild imaginations, the imagination of the Chinese is simply beyond the sky. There is nothing that the author cannot write, except what you can't think of.

In the original time and space, many online novels from the mainland entered Europe and the United States, which really set off a wave of popularity.

Once the themes of cultivation, fantasy, and science fiction are translated, these foreigners become excited and scream loudly.

So many mainland netizens despised it, saying: "That's it? Bah, you really haven't seen the world!"

After a long time, Gu Wei, who was writing and drawing, stopped his work, and then sat in front of the computer to reply to some work emails from the other side of the ocean.

For example, "The Revenant", which will be released in North America in November, said in the email sent by Ryder that the film was invited to participate in the 11 San Diego Comic-Con to be held in California, USA.

Generally speaking, major new Hollywood films will release new posters at this comic convention to promote them and attract the attention of fans.

Gu Wei’s reply was that he would edit and produce the trailer and related poster character images as soon as possible.

In addition to revealing the trailer posters, the company will also frequently release character posters during the exhibition to accurately show the actors' looks in the film to the audience, which will arouse the expectations of star fans.

in the living room.

Liu Yifei grabbed Su Chang and then used both her hands and feet to torture him to extract a confession.

"Xixi, please forgive me, I didn't mean to hide it from you, ah..." At this time, Su Chang had been completely subdued. She no longer had the cold and aloof goddess look she usually had in front of Chen Xiao.

"It's okay to disturb you, but please tell me the details one by one, ah~ah~" Liu Yifei said in a soft and rhythmic voice, and then she just sang it later.

I have to say that the girl has a wide range of interests. She not only likes reading, sleeping, taking naps, petting cats, and singing, but she has recently become fascinated by opera.

Could this be a sign of getting older?
"Actually, we already..."

While the two were talking in private, Gu Wei finished writing the script and came out of the study...

When I came to the living room, I saw two people with their heads leaning against each other, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

"So, did you two do that?" Liu Yifei asked with her curious heart burning with curiosity.

"What? We haven't made it public yet!" Su Chang's face turned red and he immediately changed the subject.

"Huh, is this what I'm asking? Tell me quickly!" Liu Yifei said threateningly with her eyes wide open.

"Oh, what are you talking about, you little slut!" Su Chang rarely became tough.

"Cough cough." At this time, Gu Wei behind them covered his mouth with his fist and made a sound.

He was afraid that if he continued listening, he would find that the chat content was restricted, which was not something he could learn by paying.

"what…"

"Scared me!"

The two of them were frightened and pale. Liu Yifei also punched Gu Wei. Hmm, she was quite strong...

"You're going to die. You can't even make a sound when you walk." The young lady rolled her eyes and said with some disappointment.

The appearance of Gu Wei naturally made it impossible for the restricted chat to continue, making the young lady feel a little confused and extremely uncomfortable.

"You two are too involved, and yet you blame me!" Gu Wei muttered.

At this moment, Su Chang's face turned even redder, and he thought to himself that Gu Wei might have heard everything he said just now.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gu Wei immediately changed the subject, "Well, invite him to have dinner together when you have time."

Gu Wei did not have much contact with Chen Xiao. To be exact, the two met for the first time on the set of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

In the original time and space, the biggest news about this person was that he married a chubby-faced man, and after marriage he became unusually low-key...

"Okay, after the film is finished, let's find some time to come to my house for dinner." Su Chang said happily.

Unlike others, Su Chang in this life had already regarded Gu Wei and Liu Yifei as family members, so he proposed to come to their house, which was like meeting the parents, cough... meeting brothers.

"Well, we want to have a meal together. If I am not satisfied, I will not agree." The arrogant young lady suddenly said.

Uh, after hearing what Liu Yifei said, Gu Wei felt more and more like meeting the parents...

.........

From the outside, Huayi Company has been making a lot of big moves recently, launching new projects in the film field, and also making large-scale acquisitions and mergers in other industries.

For a time, it was the most popular in the industry, and on the surface, it seemed that it had plenty of money. But after a series of mergers and acquisitions in the first half of the year, which caused its stock price to soar, it actually expressed its intention to acquire Xiaoma Pentium.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately affected the nerves of all film and television companies in the entire industry.

Wang Zhonglei was even more outspoken in an interview, revealing a sense of dominance: "What we value is Pony.com's production capabilities in the field of TV dramas and the digital kingdom in their hands. Huayi is very willing to provide the necessary financial assistance..."

Look at what this means. Necessary financial help is a good thing for making a movie, but for a company, when asked by outsiders whether it needs necessary financial help, it means that the company is in danger.

And now Pony.com is facing this situation.

If you spread your business too wide, it may be fine if you have sufficient funds in the early stages, but once you encounter a financial crisis, all kinds of problems will be exposed.

After all, according to the bet agreement signed by Pony Ma and the bank, if the listing cannot be completed before December 12.

Then they have to pay a premium, and it must be a one-time, cash repurchase of the 7.5 million yuan of shares that CCB previously invested in. In total, it should be more than 10 billion.

This is the biggest news in the industry right now, and no film and television company is not paying attention.

"Xiao Ma's financing is not limited to CCB. The amount of financing they have raised in the past five years is the highest in the industry, more than Huayi and Bona combined. If Huayi really wants to launch an acquisition, the funds required are not a small amount. However, if it succeeds, the benefits are self-evident..."

On the phone, Song Ge analyzed the situation carefully, and at the same time he also had the idea of ​​intervening.

But after thinking for a moment, Gu Wei on the other end of the phone couldn't help but shook his head.

"It's tasteless." In the end, Gu Wei only gave this evaluation.

After hearing this, Song Ge didn't say anything. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. After all, Xingchen Film and Television Company had everything it needed now.

Even the ticket subsidy procedures and strategies proposed by Gu Wei last time are now basically ready, the only thing left is how to convince the major theater chains to join in.

Once these are completed, Xingchen Film and Television Company can be said to have truly achieved a closed loop.

...

light.

"Huayi's offer is not low. The news has only been out for less than half a day and the stock price is rising again. I just don't know what Xiao Ma's attitude is." Wang Changtian sighed.

Meanwhile, Bona Company.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Huayi's idea is nice, but if I don't get involved in this matter, I will be sorry for these two brothers."

After saying that, Yu Dong called his men and gave them detailed instructions.

……

This summer, with only about sixty days left, more than fifty movies were released.

Although the vast majority of films will become cannon fodder, it is enough to show how fierce the competition will be.

"The Blade of the Assassin", which took two years to produce, is one of the most popular domestic films.

Its premiere naturally attracted the attention of many people in the industry and media reporters.

As the producer, Xingchen Films, and the only distributor, China Film Group, attach great importance to the premiere of "The Blade of the Assassin".

After all, this is the only film in this summer's season that is invested in by Star Films.

Long before the premiere, China Film Group had arranged for cinema chains to attend the screenings and strive for film scheduling and in-theater marketing activities.

In terms of publicity, in addition to traditional methods such as trailer ads in theaters and hard advertising, a large-scale online publicity and promotion campaign was also carried out.

If it wasn't for the fact that he really couldn't catch up with "Running Man", Song Ge would have wanted to bring all the main creators Su Chang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Jing, Wang Qianyuan, Zhou Yiwei and others to promote this show.

Faced with such a large-scale, high-investment promotion, the director's roadshow can be said to be filled with excitement but also with worry.

After all, the market for martial arts films is too bad right now. Although Lu Yang was very tough during the interview, he was still full of worries in private.

However, just like an ugly bride has to meet her parents-in-law eventually, the quality of a movie still has to be judged by the audience.

Just like that, amid Lu Yang's excitement and worry, the premiere arrived as scheduled.

...

Early in the morning on the 20th, the media were full of reports on the premiere of "The Blade Strikes".

As the third film produced and released by Xingchen Films this year, the industry can be said to be paying close attention to it.

The first "Lost in Thailand" grossed 13 billion yuan, setting a box office record for domestic films. Until now, no other film has the hope of breaking this record.

The second film, "Love in Seattle", grossed 6 million yuan at the box office. Director Xue Xiaolu became famous overnight, and the lead actress Tong Liya was directly promoted to a first-line actress.

The combined box office revenue of these two films alone exceeded 20 billion yuan, which made everyone in the film production industry jealous.

Now the third part is also going to be released, still in the popular period of July and August.

As for how much the movie will earn at the box office, colleagues have mixed feelings.

Films released in the same period also feel the pressure.
