Become Famous Another Day - Chapter 452
Yannian Film and Television is very big.
They never expected that Jia Long and Lu Yanhe would have such big opinions against them because of this incident.
However, if “Project Beetle” is a movie with a box office of 4 billion, if its sequel is compared with “The Road to Misfortune”, everyone will choose it this way.
Of course, when they came into contact with “Unfortunately”, Lu Yanhe and Jia Long’s request was that it should be released during the Spring Festival.
Logically speaking, it is indeed their fault for Yannian Film and Television.
“We did not compromise at all in the promotion of “Embarrassed”.” People from Yannian Film and Television said, “Even if there is a blockbuster like “City Raiders”, we have tried our best to ensure that “Embarrassed” has a good reputation.” The film schedule of “The Road” is not bad in all aspects, and tens of millions of promotional funds have been invested in it. It is true that we did not communicate well about the Spring Festival release, but we can make up for it. We promise that “People on the Road” will be released. The sequel will definitely be released during the Spring Festival, how about it?”
“The sequel to “Immortal on the Road” may not be based on the Spring Festival travel rush. You released it during the Spring Festival…” Jia Long was very disgusted. It is really a pity that “Immortal on the Road” has such a good reputation, but it was not released in the Spring Festival period… A most suitable schedule will result in a box office loss of hundreds of millions. This can all be calculated.
Yannian Film and Television said: “We are actually also responsible for “The Journey”. If you want to say that “The Journey” will be released during the Spring Festival, we can do it. But to be honest, it is a sequel to a movie with a box office of 4 billion. , one is a non-mainstream comedy that the industry was not very optimistic about before its release. The two films were put on the Spring Festival schedule at the same time. If it were you, who would you give your resources to first? I can fulfill my promise, but “The Journey” How many days can you support it in the cinema when it is almost impossible to get many films?”
Jia Long was silent.
Because what Yannian Film and Television said makes sense.
Yannian Film and Television said: “We have already cooperated with the first part of the sequel to “The Lost Road”, and we will definitely do a good job.”
Jia Long said: “We will discuss this after our script is released.”
“Jia Long, you know, we were the only company among all the companies that questioned whether your movie could be successful, and we were the only ones who chose to believe in you and agreed to you. In fact, we did not meet the market conditions.”
This is where Jia Long has nothing to say.
No one doubted that “Journey to the Road” would not sell at the box office. However, at that time, everyone generally estimated the box office of “Journey to the Road” to be between 200 and 300 million. In this case, Jia Long demanded that the production budget should not be lower. At the same time, both Lu Yanhe and he will enjoy a share of the movie theater box office. The other copyrights cannot be taken into their own hands. They belong to Lu Yanhe. In this case, the film company generally believes that this movie has no Don’t accept any profit.
Yannian Film and Television is indeed bold.
Of course, the current box office results of Si Liu Wang Qi are enough for Yannian Film and Television to make a lot of money. Its stock price has been rising for some time as a result.
The benefits a successful film brings to a film company are not just the box office feedback from theaters.
Jia Long specially went to have a serious chat with Lu Yanhe about the development of the second season of “On the Road”.
Lu Yanhe said: “Teacher Jia, I basically have a prototype of the sequel story, but I really don’t plan to write Awkward Journey with the Spring Festival travel as the background. I want to change the place, the characters and the background of the story are all new, but Following the road comedy formula.”
Jia Long nodded.
Lu Yanhe: “I want to make the sequel story a bit crazier.”
“More crazy?” Jia Long was a little surprised and didn’t quite understand what Lu Yanhe meant.
“Go abroad, go to Thailand.” Lu Yanhe said, “Photograph the stories of your trip to Thailand.”
Jia Long was a little confused.
“Moreover, this movie is also a pure comedy. I don’t want to add anything educational or entertaining to it. I just want everyone to be happy and laugh, so that when everyone watches the movie, there will be surprises everywhere.” Lu Yanhe Said, “Similar to the first film “Unfortunately”, we will create a scene where celebrities and entertainers can appear at any time to surprise the audience.”
Jia Long was stunned.
“Are you worried that I won’t accept a pure comedy?”
Lu Yanhe said: “Well, because the sequel story I conceived may be a little more exaggerated than the first one.”
Jia Long: “Yan He, to be honest, I definitely believe the script you wrote. I just want to ask a question. Will the theme of this movie and the role I play have a very negative impact on me?” “
“Absolutely not.” Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head, “How is that possible?”
“That’s okay.” Jia Long smiled and nodded.
–
The news that “The Lost Journey” is getting a sequel has swept the entire industry.
The box office performance of this movie has fully demonstrated the box office potential of its sequel.
Wang Dashan, a newcomer who just graduated, became famous in this movie. No matter how loud the doubts are, it is an indisputable fact that his fans are increasing day by day.
What about the second part?
Are there any new characters in the second part?
If you can join the sequel of this movie, your status will rise almost predictably.
Lu Yanhe didn’t want to be disturbed by receiving a phone call from time to time, so he simply turned off his phone.
“You’ve actually learned to turn off your phone now!” Chen Siqi was surprised. “You didn’t dare to turn off your phone casually before.”
Lu Yanhe said: “The main reason is that there are too many people calling now. If you don’t turn off your phone, you basically won’t have to stop for the whole day.”
Chen Siqi: “In the past, even if you didn’t stop talking for a day, you would not turn off your phone for fear of missing important calls.”
Lu Yanhe: “Now I feel that the most important thing is me. They call me one after another and I am so annoyed. I can’t even say I’m annoyed, so I just don’t answer it.”
Chen Siqi nodded with satisfaction and said, “You are right to have such an awareness.”
What Chen Siqi was most dissatisfied with before was that Lu Yanhe had too high demands on himself. A person who demands too much of himself will always suffer a lot of unnecessary losses. Unfortunately, these losses are self-inflicted.
After filming the summer part of the movie “Love Letter”, Lu Yanhe’s mood can be described as relieved.
No exaggeration at all.
As a first-time director, he had been experiencing all kinds of anxiety and uneasiness since before filming this film. It was precisely because of these anxieties and uneasiness that his stress index exploded before. In fact, it was only when Xia Tian was finished that Lu Yanhe felt his subconscious relief.
Because without anxiety, there would be no relief.
Chen Siqi asked: “As for the summer part, are you going to cut it before shooting in winter?”
“Yes.” Lu Yanhe said, “Because I originally wanted to release it in time for next year’s Valentine’s Day, but I don’t know if it will be in time. If it is not in time, we will have to postpone the release. In my heart, this The choice of movie schedule is also very important. You must find a time when everyone is willing to sit quietly in the cinema and watch such a story. At least a summer schedule is very inappropriate. Any schedule that focuses on liveliness and family fun is not suitable. Very suitable.”
Chen Siqi thought thoughtfully, “Then wait until the end of next year and release it during the New Year’s Eve period. What do you think?”
It was also winter time. However, since the New Year’s Eve period only has a three-day holiday on New Year’s Day, most blockbusters will not choose this period, because the box office potential of this period is far lower than that of other major periods.
This also means that the competitive pressure faced by “Love Letter” is actually much smaller.
Lu Yanhe said: “It sounds quite suitable now.”
Chen Siqi said: “Many movies are focused on being released in popular schedules, but based on my observations over the past year, I feel that not one big schedule is suitable for all movies, and many movies are not suitable for release in such popular schedules. , such as “Rouge” and your “Love Letter”, I think this is the case. You can choose to let “Rouge” give up the summer release and other big releases, and release it in an unpopular Mid-Autumn Festival release. It’s quite surprising to many people, and many people came to ask me why I did this.”
In the eyes of many people, “Rouge” is directed by the international director Wang Zhong, stars a top actress like Chen Bige and a popular actor like Huang Kairen, and won the Audience Choice Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival. And Lu Yanhe is the screenwriter. With this kind of cast and this level, it is a proper blockbuster, and it is aimed at high box office.
No matter what the film studio says, this movie is actually a literary film with low box office goals. However, many people always turn a deaf ear to it, always based on their simple and crude understanding of the movie, thinking that such a movie will not be successful if it does not have a box office target. If they reach the number they have in mind, they will be out of business and lose money.
So, “Rouge Button” will be released in the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Why?
This is a question in many people’s minds.
In particular, didn’t “Rouge Button” win international awards?
This alone is enough to make the movie sell well – in the eyes of many people, that’s what it seems.
–
Li Zhenzhen, who knew that Lu Yanhe’s movie had been filmed, contacted him immediately.
“We will be recording the fourth season of “Young Days” soon. You said you wanted to make a movie before, but you were worried about time conflicts, so you couldn’t come. Can you come now?” Li Zhenzhen asked.
Lu Yanhe didn’t expect Li Zhenzhen to think about him so persistently.
In fact, without him in the last season of “Young Days”, the broadcast results were still very good, and the business cooperation was not low. Every time the episode was released, the Internet became a hot topic.
For a variety show that has reached its fourth season, even if he is missing, it will not have much impact.
Lu Yanhe said: “Sister Zhenzhen, the filming plan for this season of our show has been decided, right? Isn’t it bad if I rashly join in at this time?”
Li Zhenzhen said: “We are willing to work overtime to revise the plan for you. You are a key figure in our program from the beginning. We have too many fans of your program. As a producer, I also hope that our program can be based on The original crew will continue to work on it, and I’m not just saying this casually. Do you remember what I told you at the beginning that I was going to do this show? I wanted to create a real observation sample of cohabitation life.”
Lu Yanhe didn’t expect Li Zhenzhen to take her original goal so seriously.
“Also, I don’t want what my father has done to affect our relationship.” Li Zhenzhen said, “Yan He, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t participate in the recording of the entire season. As long as you have time, It’s okay to participate in a few episodes. This season, Yan Liang will be filming, so he can only participate in half of the recordings. I hope that even if you can’t be there for every episode, you can be there forever.”
Lu Yanhe sighed deeply.
Because he was helpless to find that he was actually moved by Li Zhenzhen’s words.
Speaking of which, Lu Yanhe has participated in very few programs, and the only one that actually serves as a permanent guest is “Young Days”.
And the friends he met on this show also became his real friends.
Some relationships are more intimate, while others don’t interact with each other that much in private, but they are all very good relationships.
Lu Yanhe was reluctant to let go of these friends.
At this time, Li Zhenzhen threw another heavy weight.
“This season, we are also inviting the members of the “Six” crew to record together in the first episode. If you can come and participate, the “Six” crew can be reunited in the same frame.”
–
“Are you going to record a few episodes of “Young Days”?”
Chen Ziyan did not expect that Lu Yanhe had just finished filming “Love Letter” and was preparing to go to another job.
“As I said before, your stress has increased due to too much work. Don’t you even take a break?”
“Take a break.” Lu Yanhe said, “Isn’t the recording going to be next week? Another, my main problem before was that there was too much work going on at the same time. Now that “Love Letter” has ended in stages, I can also take over Another job.”
Chen Ziyan: “How many episodes do you plan to record?”
Lu Yanhe said: “If you don’t have any other work arrangements, just go and enroll for as many periods as you can. I won’t have any classes next semester.”
Next semester, Lu Yanhe will be a senior.
The only big thing left is the graduation thesis.
Chen Ziyan thought about it in her mind and realized that Lu Yanhe really had no other work arrangements in August, so it would be good to record “Young Days”.
–
At this time, the “Accumulation Project” also received some works one after another.
Chen Siqi led his team and people from Northern Lights Video to start reviewing and screening submitted works.
A large number of the works they received looked like short films shot by themselves on their mobile phones, and they hired a few of their friends to act out the storyline, which was very rough.
Everyone who watched the Northern Lights Video was incredulous. It was obviously a competition for a serious young director, but why were there so many weird people submitting submissions? Some people even filmed videos on the bed… What were they thinking? Do they think that such a video can pass the review and be released on Northern Lights Video?
Because Lu Yanhe agreed to record this season of “Young Days”, Li Zhenzhen also led the team to revise the plan for the first episode.
Now that Lu Yanhe has returned, the planning of the first phase must also highlight the importance of Lu Yanhe.
The original creativity can be saved for later. If Lu Yanhe’s return is not highlighted separately in the show, Li Zhenzhen will feel sorry for Lu Yanhe’s cheerfulness.
Li Zhenzhen thought about it and wanted to reciprocate the favor. He planned to have all the guests become auditors in the “Power Accumulation Plan” in the first episode. This was in line with the long-term theme of the “Young Days” program of asking guests to work to earn living conditions. It can also help promote the “Power Accumulation Plan” in the program.
As a result, the producer and broadcaster of the program “Young Days”, Bingyuan Video, sternly denied it.
Are you kidding me, promoting something from another video platform in a program broadcast by Icefield Video?
Not even if you are Lu Yanhe.
Li Zhenzhen also knew that his idea was a bit abrupt and radical, so he could only think of other plans.
Then, I thought of using the movie “Rouge Button” as an important clue for the first phase of planning to help promote Lu Yanhe’s new drama.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is next month, and it’s not too early.
After Lu Yanhe got the plan, he took a look at it and immediately sent a message to Li Zhenzhen: Sister Zhenzhen, let’s just plan the program as normal. There is no need to think of ways to help me with publicity. It’s weird for “Rouge Button” to appear in it. It’s very strange. unexpected. (End of chapter)
