Entertainment Empire

According to this rhythm, the third wave of promotion is Zhou Xingchi's special. However, Xingye did not rush to release the third trailer, but patiently waited for the popularity of Luo Xun and Zhang Sui Ning's special to be digested by the public.

It took a total of two months of promotion.

The stimulation comes one after another.

It would be a bit unsightly to break it off midway.

In addition to conventional publicity methods such as trailers, publicity on various platforms is naturally indispensable. With the help of professional distribution companies and theaters, Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi do not need to worry too much.

It is worth mentioning.

Because "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is so popular, when choosing a distributor for this movie, several top domestic distribution companies took the initiative to offer an olive branch. What may seem a little embarrassing to others is that two of them The distribution company had participated in the investment of this film before, but because Zhou Xingchi wanted to adopt new technologies at the time, it withdrew the investment after negotiating with Xinghui Company——

That's why Luo Xun came to help.

As a result, things have turned around. "Avatar" has taught these divestment companies what new technology is, and it has also made these companies realize that their divestment of Zhou Xingchi's movie means they have lost something. The original ridicule was like a loud slap, and I don't know how many people there were. Now my intestines are turning green with regret!

Fortunately, businessmen are thick-skinned.

When the capital was divested, no one broke up with Zhou Xingchi. Everyone kept their own secrets, so now that the cooperation is mentioned again, although it seems a little embarrassing, it is a fool's behavior to not make money without making money. Face is this thing. Sometimes it's valuable, sometimes it's worthless.

Having said that.

Although they told themselves time and time again that face was not important, when they saw Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi standing side by side during the negotiations with the issuer, many company representatives could not help but feel bitter in their hearts.

My balls hurt!

If they had not withdrawn their capital, nothing would have happened to Luo Xun. As a result, they had withdrawn their capital and Luo Xun became the largest investor in the film. He got so many benefits for nothing. Thinking about this, many people looked at Luo Xun with quite complicated eyes. .

This moment.

They had completely forgotten how the industry was ridiculing Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi when they were determined to make the movie. The most popular saying in the industry at that time was that Zhou Xingchi was crazy and Luo Xun was crazy too——

One crazy and two crazy.

After all parties withdrew their investment, Luo Xun's behavior of filling the holes in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was also jokingly called the "successor". Everyone thought that Luo Xun was cheated by Xingye, and now they are the ones who are fighting for their original success. When ignorance pays the price.

Just the other day.

When the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" released the promotional video for Zhang Sui Ning's special episode, many people who had participated in the divestment and withdrawal from the crew knew that something bad might happen. It seemed that the fate of the movie was completely different from what they imagined. When it came to Luo Xun's special episode Come out, they have removed the possibility.

It's really bad.

This movie is destined to explode. What they missed is a mountain of gold and silver. Especially those who know that Zhou Xingchi personally participated in the movie are even more worried at the moment: "How can you play with this?"

There is no point in regretting it.

The final plan was still standard for blockbusters. We found three top domestic companies to jointly distribute it. The commission was not large. It was not to share the risk. The success of this movie was predictable, so the risk was not big. It was mainly to avoid risk. If you offend these people to death, if they don't even agree to cooperate in distribution, they may be manipulated in the future. Zhou Xingchi still wants to have a good start in his next movie.

Luo Xun had no objection either.

After this matter was settled, many investors and producers who had originally planned to arrange for their films to be released on National Day were completely dumbfounded. Originally, they still had a glimmer of hope. Now that the matter has been completely settled, what else can everyone do? Time can be said to be full of mourners. At first, no one thought that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" would suddenly be played on a portable file during the National Day!

Who dares to hit this guy?

Even if it is a blockbuster like "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", people who are confident in their own films dare to take a chance, but no one dares to take a chance on Zhou Xingchi's new film. Some films with relatively high investment even directly consider using it. The film was relegated to the equally competitive New Year's Eve slot.

This is the treatment of a fierce movie!

In the face of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", many movies originally planned to be released during the National Day have come up with the idea of ​​​​changing their schedules. Only some movies with unrelated genres or some with low budget dare to continue to guard this. After all, no matter how good Zhou Xingchi is, he can't stop some people who are originally planning to make a lot of money, and his movies are not worth the money.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows this.

Looking back at the film schedule, the resources of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" must be exaggerated. Under such circumstances, the film schedule space for other films will inevitably be severely compressed. The original appeal of the film is not as good as others, but even the film schedule has been crushed. Have fun.

So someone actually changed gears.

There are also those that have not changed their schedules, because the market for the National Day release is still quite large, and it is impossible for "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons" to be available for all. The withdrawal of some movies has relieved some of the remaining movies...

"He's so angry."

People in the industry looked at the fierce appearance of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and expressed sincere emotions: "I don't know what the ratio of Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi will be to split the accounts. I can't say that Luo Xun is the biggest winner in this wave."

"Risk and return are directly proportional!"

"That's right. Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi's crews were a bit exhausted. I had a buddy who was in Zhou's crew at the time. It is said that the crew was shut down for a while, and people left every day. Finally, my buddy left too. Now he regrets it, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world. Luo Xun took over under such circumstances. His courage and vision were top-notch, and the risk was huge. He turned the tide against everyone's pessimism. He deserved it."

"Don't forget that he is still the male No. 1."

"This point cannot be ignored. "Dragon Gate Flying Dagger" made him the first of the young generation in the mainland, a quasi-first-line in the film industry. If the movie in this National Day file breaks another record, it will directly enter the first-line. It is estimated that by then, only a few limited super-first-line stars such as Zhou Xingchi can suppress him in terms of value, not to mention that from the current situation, it is very likely that Xingye's movie is going to break the record. After all, the configuration in all aspects is stronger than Xu Laoguai's."

"..."

Discussion in the circle.

Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi only felt a kind of joy after all the hardships. Some insiders were right. When "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was at its most difficult, the crew was directly in a state of suspension with no idea when it would restart. Every day, people left, including some old people who were quite close to Zhou Xingchi, and some artists who played important supporting roles in the movie. At that time, probably only Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi still had great confidence in the movie.

We are crazy together?

No, it is a combination of two swords, invincible in the world.
