Dreams of the Fragrant River

On May 12, the selection of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant was all over. After multiple reviews and adjustments, a total of 115 applicants entered the re-examination session. [;Starting]

The whole re-examination session is to be filmed, and some wonderful scenes will also be broadcast on the TV station. This is also an original practice of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. In the past, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was most video-recorded before the finals for publicity.

Of course, it's not that the planners from Miss Hong Kong are too stupid to use various tidbits to make short films for publicity at the beginning, but film was used for photography before, and how much film was wasted when one or two hundred finalists were filmed!

Kang Jianfei also planned to go to the re-examination site to have a look, but was delayed due to other things, so he was going to attend the screening.

The director of McDonald's has already finished production. If the film is released on a regular schedule, Jiang Zhiqiang can make the final call, but if he wants to be included in this year's summer schedule, he must get Kang Jianfei's approval.

In a screening room of the Oriental Cinema Line, Jiang Zhiqiang and several theater managers gathered together, while McDonald Bear and an employee of the distribution department of DreamWorks analyzed the box office prospects to the theater business managers.

Suddenly, the light in the screening hall lit up, but someone opened the back door. Kang Jianfei's personal assistant Zeng Bolin walked in first, and Kang Jianfei also entered the screening room a few seconds later.

"Hello, Mr. Kang!"

"Boss Kang is really rare."

"Director Kang, please take a seat!"

"..."

The theater managers hurriedly stood up to greet them, all with a welcoming smile on their faces. Since the establishment of the Oriental Cinema Company, these franchise cinemas have made more money than before in the new era cinema chain, and they have regarded Kang Jianfei as a parent.

"Let's all sit!" Kang Jianfei said to the crowd, picking up a seat in the middle and sitting down.

Jiang Zhiqiang and McDonald Xiong sat on Kang Jianfei's left and right. The others immediately picked up the seats in the back row and sat down. No one dared to surpass Kang Jianfei's seat and sit in the front.

McDonald's nodded sideways to the projectionist behind, and immediately a beam of light hit the big screen. The first thing that naturally appeared was the title animation of DreamWorks, and then the title animation of McDonald's Bear Studio.

The intro to McDonald's Studio is rough. A few red flashing stars are circled in a plastic disc shape, and a beam of light is shot diagonally, leading to the end of the McDonald's Movie Studio.

After showing the production company, the subtitle of "Movie Planning: Cen Jianxun" suddenly appeared on the screen, and Kang Jianfei frowned. He asked, "Isn't Cen Jianxun setting up Debao with Pan Disheng? Why did he go to your studio?"

McDonald's didn't know what was unpleasant between Kang Jianfei and Cen Jianxun. He said truthfully: "The original idea for this movie came from Cen Jianxun, and now he is working in my studio to plan."

McDonald's said so. Kang Jianfei could probably guess what the situation was.

Last year, Cen Jianxun has been planning in the film production department of DreamWorks, and he may have accidentally chatted with McDonald's about the idea. Later, Cen Jianxun was invited by Pan Disheng to set up Debao Film Company. Cen Jianxun, who thought it was an opportunity, quit his job at DreamWorks and ran to Pan Disheng's side, but he did not expect that after Debao Film Company was established There has been no filming.

Cen Jianxun is now in vain. It happened that McDonald's wanted to shoot, so he brought Cen Jianxun, who had nowhere to go, into his film studio.

Kang Jianfei didn't say much. Talents like Cen Jianxun helped his studio make money by making films. It's also a good thing from a practical standpoint. As for the so-called loyalty, although Kang Jianfei hates that kind of old job-hopping person, he really doesn't take the so-called loyalty seriously. Besides, Cen Jianxun's departure did not cause any loss to DreamWorks, so Kang Jianfei didn't have a strong dislike for Cen Jianxun.

The beginning of the film is the introduction of the hero by the subtitles. Kang Jianfei only watched it for more than ten seconds, and then whispered to McDonald's bear: "The subtitles jump too fast. It may not be suitable for some audiences. It is best before the official release. Adding a voiceover to read these subtitles directly can increase the comfort of the audience."

Although McDonald's Xiong didn't care about these details, he didn't want to raise a bar with Kang Jianfei in such an irrelevant place, so he nodded quickly and agreed.

This one right now. It is almost the same as the plot in Kang Jianfei's memory, but at least one-half of the actors have been replaced, because most of the actors used by McDonald's are from the Oriental Entertainment Company.

It is worth mentioning that all the leading actors use newcomers, as well as the old tricks that can't become popular, which can increase the realism of the film.

More than ten minutes after the movie was shown, the plot gradually reached its peak. There was no more noise in the screening room, and everyone turned their attention to the big screen.

I have to say, purely in terms of grasping the rhythm of the movie, McDonald's is more than one level better than Xu Ke at this time. Of course, Xu Ke also has his own unique advantages. McDonald's talent comes from careful observation and reflection on reality, while Xu Ke's talent is manifested in the kind of unrestrained film thinking.

In the last decisive battle, there was only a burst of gunfire in the auditorium, and even the theater managers held their breaths and stared at the big screen.

After the movie ended, there was silence in the screening room, and when McDonald's was apprehensive, everyone gave heartfelt applause.

Jiang Zhiqiang said to Kang Jianfei: "I think it can be released in the summer."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, but don't be too optimistic about the box office. It's almost 10 million yuan."

Jiang Zhiqiang said puzzled: "No way, I think this movie is very exciting, especially now that the Sino-British negotiation has not ended, it will definitely attract great attention once it is released."

McDonald's also looked at Kang Jianfei suspiciously. Of course, he thought that his movie was good enough to sell 20 million at the box office.

"The box office is not calculated like this," Kang Jianfei shook his head and explained, "The biggest audience for summer movies is students who are on vacation, and although this film is hot, the topics contained in it are too heavy, and audiences under the age of 20 are not. Would love to watch it. It's also a serious movie, but that movie has at least a few beautiful girls starring, and it's all menacing men, how many teenage student audiences do you expect to see?"

Kang Jianfei's analysis is reasonable and reasonable, like pouring cold water on McDonald's bear. In fact, Kang Jianfei is not talking nonsense. In the parallel space, despite the hype this summer, he was defeated by this campus comedy. The reason is naturally that the student audience is the main force in the summer file.

Kang Jianfei added: "This type of film is not suitable for Christmas and Spring Festival, and it would be a waste to put it in summer. Why don't it be released in late June."

The schedule in late June is very embarrassing. If the movie is released for a long enough time, it can barely sneak into the summer season. Once the attendance rate is not high, then it can only be a pathfinder for the summer movie.

McDonald's was a little dissatisfied. It can definitely be said that it was his proud work, but he couldn't make it into the normal summer slot in the Oriental Cinema. He felt that he was being deliberately suppressed by Kang Jianfei.

McDonald's was sulking and didn't say anything, but he heard Kang Jianfei say again: "Old Mai, although the box office is sky-high, it will break 10 million, but the social influence must be very large. You are ready to make a sequel next year."

"Making a sequel?" McDonald's opened his mouth wide and looked at Kang Jianfei. The first film had not yet been released, so he actually asked him to prepare a sequel.

McDonald's really doesn't understand Kang Jianfei. Since he thinks the filming is good, why not just schedule it to the normal summer show?

The answer is very simple, because it is more suitable for release in the summer than Wang Jing's.

When the Oriental Cinema Line is planning to arrange the film, it will be screened from June 20 to July 15, July 16 to August 20, and August 21 to September 15.

Of course, these dates are not absolute and can be changed depending on the box office situation, but the approximate schedule has been set. That is to say, in this year's summer vacation, Kang Jianfei's harmony will serve as the pioneer and the rear guard.

Kang Jianfei said his thoughts~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Jiang Zhiqiang agreed immediately. Although Kang Jianfei's post-production has not been completed, he is still very confident in Kang Jianfei's films.

And then again, no matter how bad Kang Jianfei's film is, if he insists on putting it in the summer season, Jiang Zhiqiang has no way to object.

After McDonald's heard about Kang Jianfei's plan, the unhappiness in his heart quickly disappeared. As for Wang Jing, half of the release time is outside the summer season.

After the film arrangement was settled, Kang Jianfei suddenly asked McDonald's Xiong: "By the way, Lao Mai, where did you get the actor of the male lead? It doesn't seem to be an artist from the Oriental Entertainment Company."

"Oh, you said Lin Wei," McDangxiong laughed, "he used to be a Shaw Brothers actor and spent two years working in Clear Water Bay. I thought he had good potential and poached people. Now he has signed into Dongfang. Entertainment."

Of course, Kang Jianfei knew Lin Wei, nicknamed "Hong Kong Takacangjian", but he didn't know Lin Wei's background, but he didn't expect to be a Shaw Brothers actor.
