Chapter 223 222. So when is our film "The Left Ear" going to be released?

"Let's play for two more days. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Wei Datong and Wu Yuzhi had already packed their luggage early in the morning, and Wei Wu made a habit of asking them to stay before leaving.

Now that I have bought my plane tickets, there is a high probability that I have to leave today.

But if he doesn't try to save him, wouldn't it show that he is a ruthless son?

Wu Yuzhi shook her head and said, "Enough fun. The main reason for coming here this time is to see your home and get to know Yifei's mother. Now that all the tasks are completed, we can go back with peace of mind."

Liu Tianxian from the side also advised: "Uncle and aunt, stay a few more days and go back after the Lantern Festival!"

Wei Datong smiled and said: "No, this delay will take another three or four days. We have come here to shop and play, and it's almost time to go back!"

"In previous years, our motorcycle shop usually opens on the eighth day of the lunar month, but this year it's the eleventh day. We, as a couple, are restless people. In fact, we have already started to feel anxious!"

After hearing what his father said, Wei Wu stopped trying to persuade him:

"Well, since you insist on leaving, there's nothing I can do about it. I can only wait until you are free to come over and play for a few more days."

Wu Yuzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, you two must be nice. You are a man, so you have to be more tolerant of girls.

"When you are not busy, remember to take Yifei back to your hometown to stay for a few days. Don't go back every time on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Your dad and I will miss you every day!"

Wei Wu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Okay, when I have time here, I will go back to see you."

Wu Yuzhi looked at Liu Tianxian again: "Yifei, if that brat Wei Wu dares to bully you, call me when the time comes and Auntie will help you scold him severely."

Liu Tianxian couldn't help but glance at Wei Wu proudly, covered his mouth and said with a smile:

"Okay, thank you auntie."

After a brief farewell, Wei Wu and Liu Tianxian took them to the airport.

Because they are both celebrities now, in order not to attract onlookers, they said they only said goodbye to their parents in the car before returning.

"Where are we going now? To the set?"

Liu Tianxian raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's only 9 o'clock now, so take me to the studio. Maybe I can still find time to shoot a few scenes this morning."

"Okay", so Wei Wu told the driver and asked him to take the two of them directly to the set of "The Left Ear".

"Do you want to go in too?"

Wei Wu nodded and said, "Well, let me go and see it too. I haven't seen it since the Chinese New Year this year!"

In fact, whether they have already started filming "To Youth" and "The Left Ear", or are about to start filming "That Year in a Hurry" and "My Deskmate", these four youth films were all shot in Yanjing. Just different schools.

As soon as they heard that the big boss was coming, everyone from the "Left Ear" crew gathered around to wish Wei Wu New Year's greetings:

"Happy New Year, Director Wei!"

Wei Wu smiled and handed over a red envelope: "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, boss, I wish you a lot of wealth in the new year!"

Wei Wu smiled again and handed over a red envelope: "Thank you and happy New Year!"

"Have a prosperous New Year, boss, and wish you a prosperous new year!"

Wei Wu stuffed another red envelope as usual: "Thank you, and happy New Year!"

Wei Wu transformed into a ruthless red envelope handing machine, basically giving a red envelope to a person after saying a few auspicious words.

After everyone received the red envelopes and went back happily, director Lu Yang also stepped forward to wish Wei Wu New Year's greetings:

"Happy New Year, may our Wei Guo Pictures' film and television dramas become more popular than the last!"

Wei Wu also took out a particularly generous red envelope from his handbag and handed it over:

"Happy New Year. How's your hard work during this period? Can our "Left Ear" be completed on time?"

"Thank you." Lu Yang smiled and took the red envelope, then nodded and said:

"No problem, it will be completed on time almost March 10th."

Wei Wu nodded slightly: "That's good."

Today is February 28th, and tomorrow is March 1st, which means there are still 10 days before the film is officially finished.

This drama starts filming on New Year's Day. If we say it wraps up on March 10, that means 69 days, plus 5 days of annual leave, which means the official filming time is 64 days.

Two months and a few days, it should be said that Lu Yang is still shooting faster, at least much faster than Xue Xiaolu.

On the one hand, it's because the team is more mature. After all, they have already produced two youth films in a row, so they are naturally familiar with it.

On the other hand, the work efficiency of a director also varies from person to person. Some people are talented in this area and are born to make films faster.

It has something to do with experience, but not that much. Just like Wang Jiawei has been making movies for so many years, it is just as slow as death!

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lu Yang suddenly asked:

"So when is our film "The Left Ear" going to be released?"

Wei Wu pondered and said: "Normally it should be released in the summer, but the competition in the summer this year is too fierce.

"Then it can only be postponed to the next schedule, which is the National Day schedule. If nothing else happens, it should be September 30."

I have already analyzed it before. This summer's movie was too brutal. "To Youth" basically gave away people's lives, and "The Left Ear" is actually similar.

In fact, the summer vacation is mainly in July and August, because only graduating students have summer vacation in June, while most other students only have vacation in early July.

In July this year, "Painted Skin" will be released, and August will be even worse, with a lot of Hollywood blockbusters being released together.

Lu Yang naturally had no objections: "Oh, the National Day schedule is good, it gives me more time to do post-production.

"Well, are there any opponents worth paying attention to during this year's National Day holiday?"

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, the competition in this summer's season is completely incomparable with last year.

"As far as I know, there seem to be only two movies worth mentioning during this year's National Day schedule, one is "Taxi Express 4" and the other is "The Iron Triangle."

The former is okay. Although it is a big IP, it is too hot and the audience is no longer willing to buy it.

It was the latter that made Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little nervous:

"Is "The Iron Triangle" the movie co-directed by Xu Ke, Lin Lingdong, and Du Qifeng?"

Wei Wu nodded and said: "Yes, the starring roles are Louis Koo, Simon Yam and Sun Honglei."

What can I say about this movie? It's quite creative. It's a three-part movie. Each of the three directors is responsible for one part and then puts it together.

Although the idea was good, the ending was: the three monks had no water to drink.

The three people obviously couldn't unify their styles, and the feeling they presented when they were put together was just one word:

chaos.

Three famous directors joined forces, and the final score of this movie was only 6.5.

To put it bluntly, if any of these three directors directed this movie alone, I dare not say that the box office would be higher than it is now, but the rating would definitely be higher than that.

In the previous life, "The Iron Triangle" was released on October 1, with a final box office of 29.17 million, ranking 18th in the year.

"Taxi Express 4" was released on October 4, with a final box office of 14 million, ranking 33rd in the year.

The combined box office of these two movies is almost half of last year's National Day box office runner-up "Baby Project."

Not to mention that there was also the annual runner-up "Silver Driver" on the National Day last year with a box office of 138 million, which is even more incomparable!

Last year during the National Day holiday, two films made it into the top ten of the year, but this year’s “Taxi Express 4” and “The Iron Triangle” both ranked outside the 15th place!

Therefore, this schedule is undoubtedly very friendly for "Left Ear", and Liu Tianxian seems to be lucky.
