Chapter 217 216. To get involved you need power and background

Yang Mi got out of bed, dressed neatly. Her hair was messy, her face was rosy and beautiful, her eyes were moist and rippling, and the strawberry marks on her fair swan neck were clearly visible.

She sat in front of the dressing mirror and combed her hair. She raised her charming eyes and gave Wei Wu a coquettish look and said:

"Look at what you did to me. How can I go out and meet people like this?"

Wei Wu glanced at her calmly and said: "It's so cold, why don't you change into a turtleneck sweater or wear a scarf!"

"Tsk, you selfish ghost who only cares about yourself!"

Yang Mi gave him another look and went to look for a turtleneck sweater in the suitcase.

After Yang Mi changed into a turtleneck sweater, she sat down and started to touch up her makeup again, chatting with Wei Wu:

"Have you finished the post-production of Painted Skin?"

Because there were only ten minutes left before the celebration banquet, Wei Wu took the initiative to help, gently combing her hair, and casually replied:

"Well, I rushed to finish it yesterday, and I can have a peaceful year this year!"

Yang Mi was also happy for him, and couldn't help but smile:

"So fast?"

Wei Wu was a little proud: "Not bad, it's been more than three and a half months!

"I'm not bragging to you, just take your So Young, if I were to shoot it, plus post-production, it would only take about three and a half months to finish it! ”

The filming of Painted Skin was completed on October 28, and the post-production officially started on October 30. There were 2 days in October, 30 days in November, 31 days in December, 31 days in January, and 14 days in February, totaling 108 days.

If we add the 89 days of filming, the total is 197 days, a little more than six and a half months, which is definitely the most time-consuming and labor-intensive film of Wei Wu.

This is Wei Wu. On the one hand, he has the movies of his previous life as a reference, and on the other hand, he has watched so many movies in his later life, so he can be considered knowledgeable.

The most important thing is that after the director attribute is added to 100, Wei Wu is also familiar with the post-production, including special effects, like reading the lines on the palm of his hand.

Let's put it this way, even the most powerful movie special effects master in the world, it is estimated that his level It is unlikely to surpass him.

So Wei Wu has already known how to do each special effect, how long it will take, and what the final effect will be, so he can complete it quickly and well.

It is precisely because he knows the business that communication and distribution of work are more efficient, and the project team assigned with the task dare not fool around or slack off.

If a different director is changed, not only the time will be doubled, but the money will also be doubled to achieve Wei Wu's current effect.

But after all, it is not a movie invested by his own company, so Wei Wu does not need to save money for China Film.

Special effects are a matter of one cent for one product. So the production cost of 100 million yuan was spent in the end.

"Is "Painted Skin" going to be released in the summer?"

Wei Wu nodded: "Well, the first Friday of the end of June and the beginning of July, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be June 29th."

"Oh", Yang Mi continued to ask:

"Then what about our "Youth", will it also be released in the summer? ”

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "This... it's hard to say for now, it depends on the situation.

"If the post-production is done quickly, I plan to put it on the May Day schedule.

"But if it's too late, then it will definitely have to be put on the summer schedule."

There will still be a May Day Golden Week next year, but the year after, that is, 2008, there will be no more.

Precisely because of the May Day Golden Week, the box office potential of the May Day schedule is still quite large, and it is obviously better than the National Day schedule.

Let alone tens of millions of box office, even if the box office exceeds 100 million, it can be supported!

Yang Mi asked enthusiastically: "Then what do you think, is it better to put it on the May Day schedule? Or is it better to put it on the summer schedule?"

Wei Wu thought and analyzed: "Although the May Day schedule is shorter and the upper limit is not so high, the biggest advantage is that the competition is not so fierce.

"Summer season is already very competitive, and today's summer season may be even more intense."

Yang Mi couldn't help but frown: "Is that so!"

Wei Wu began to explain to her: "According to the information I have collected, the movies released in this summer season are:

"Hollywood blockbusters "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (6.12) and "Transformers" (7.11); "True Men" starring Nicholas Tse (7.19), and Jay Chou's debut "Secret" (7.31)--

"Then there is the action movie "Flash Point" starring Zhen Zidan and Louis Koo (8.3), and the fifth film in the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (8.10)."

There are indeed several tough guys here. The first one is of course "Transformers", which was the annual box office champion in the mainland in 2007 in the previous life, with a box office of 281 million.

The second is "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", which were the 5th and 7th in the previous life, with box office of 145 million and 126 million respectively.

In other words, three of the top 10 movies of the year were released during this period (No. 1, No. 5, and No. 7).

This shows that the competition in this summer season is even more intense than that in the Lunar New Year season.

The remaining "True Man", "Secret" and "Flash Point" also entered the top 15 of the year, with box office revenues of more than 30 million.

In addition, we have to consider that "Painted Skin" will also join this fiercely competitive battlefield, which will raise the bloodiness of this battlefield to another level.

Yang Mi frowned after hearing this, and couldn't help but worry about Wei Wu:

"There are so many Hollywood blockbusters in the summer season today. Are you sure you want to put "Painted Skin" in this period? Aren't you worried?"

Faced with the beauty, Wei Wu smiled slightly and said with great enthusiasm:

"What should I worry about? If there is anything to worry about, it should be them!

"Even if they come together, so what? I will definitely kill them all! ”

If someone else said this, Yang Mi would definitely retort immediately:

Will you die if you don’t brag?

But Wei Wu was very confident when he said this, and he looked arrogant, as if “looking at the world with an air as high as a mountain, no one can compare to him”.

Yang Mi was a little unsure for a moment, could it be that he really thought so?

In fact, Yang Mi is still young!

Although Wei Wu was very arrogant to the outside world, his youthful arrogance was just his protective color, and he was actually very clear-headed in his heart.

The main reason why he was so arrogant was that Han Sanping had already informed him in advance.

If the preview of “Painted Skin” was outstanding enough, he would use his administrative connections to postpone the release of all Hollywood blockbusters to August, leaving July empty for “Painted Skin” to have a good time.

He didn’t even need If you want to hide it, you can do it openly.

Because there is a very high-sounding explanation for his behavior:

This is the protection and support policy of the relevant departments for excellent domestic films.

In fact, as early as 2004, the Film Bureau had verbally issued a notice calling on theaters across the country to support domestic films. From June 10 to July 10 (or July to August) every year, it is not encouraged to introduce overseas blockbusters.

This is the domestic film protection month that makes Hollywood shudder.

In fact, Wei Wu is not the first director to enjoy this treatment. Movies like "House of Flying Daggers", "Painted Skin 2", "Tangshan Earthquake" and "The Founding of a Party" in his previous life have all enjoyed this special care.

Take "House of Flying Daggers" as an example. In 2004, "Spider-Man 2" and "Shrek 2" were released in Beijing. Midea's release dates are June 30 and May 19.

But in the mainland, it was postponed to August 5 and August 10, freeing up nearly three weeks of time for "House of Flying Daggers" to be released on July 16.

Hollywood has no choice, after all, the release date of imported films is entirely determined by the distributor. China Film is the only company in my country authorized to operate the film import business.

There are only two companies in China that have the right to distribute imported films: China Film and Huaxia. Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of China Film Group.

To put it bluntly, the release dates of all imported films are arranged by China Film. Han Sanping opened a backdoor for the films invested by China Film, so Hollywood naturally dared not speak out.

Our great country has its own national conditions. If you keep nagging, believe it or not, I will strangle you every day in the future!

Even if I don't hold you back on the distribution rights, I can still arrange for three or four Hollywood blockbusters to be released on the same day.

In short, if I want to punish you, there are plenty of ways!

In fact, China Film Group has done this before. For example, on August 27, 2012, "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Dark Knight Rises" were released on the same day.

For example, at the end of July 2013, three Hollywood blockbusters, "White House Down," "Fast and Furious 6," and "Pacific Rim," were released in the same week. That scene was so bloody!

If Han Sanping didn't do this, "Transformers" might have posed a big threat to "Painted Skin."

After all, "Transformers" is the annual box office champion in the mainland and the fifth highest-grossing movie in the world!

But Wei Wu is going to teach him a lesson this time:

Are you good at fighting? What's the point of being good at fighting! You need power and background to get involved. Which gang are you from?

Do you think I will compete with you fairly?

It's so funny! It's not fair at all!

How can you become a master if you have a gun but don't use martial arts? (Tactical retreat)
