Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 217 216. To go out to hang out, you must have power and background.

Yang Mi got out of bed, fully dressed. Her hair was messy, her jade face was rosy and delicate, her starry eyes were moist and rippling, and the strawberry mark on her fair swan neck was clearly visible.

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

"Look what you did for me, why are you going out to meet people?"

Wei Wu glanced calmly and said, "It's so cold, why don't you change into a turtleneck or a scarf?"

"Tch, you're a selfish guy who only cares about himself!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him again, then went to look for a turtleneck sweater in her suitcase.

After Yang Mi changed into her turtleneck sweater, she sat down and started applying makeup again while chatting with Wei Wu:

"Have you finished the post-production work on "Painted Skin" over there?"

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

"Well, hurry up and hurry up, I finally finished it yesterday, and I can have a solid year this year!"

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

"So fast?"

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

"I'm not bragging to you, but for your film "Youth", if I were to shoot it and do the post-production, it would only take about three and a half months to finish it all!"

This "Painted Skin" was completed on October 28th, and the post-production officially started on October 30th, with 2 days in October, 30 days in November, 31 days in December, 31 days in January, and 14 days in February, totaling 108 sky.

If you include the 89 days of filming, the total is 197 days, a little over six and a half months. It is definitely Wei Wu's most time-consuming and labor-intensive movie.

This is Wei Wu. On the one hand, he has movies from his previous life as a reference. In addition, he has watched so many movies in his later life, so he is well-informed.

The most important thing is that after the director attribute is increased to 100, Wei Wu is also very familiar with post-production, including special effects, and can see lines like the palm of his hand.

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

Therefore, Wei Wu already knew how to do each special effect, how long it would take, and what the final effect would be, so he could complete it quickly and well.

Precisely because he is knowledgeable, communication and assignment work are more efficient, and the project team assigned the task is less afraid to fool or bully the foreign workers.

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

But after all, it was not a movie invested by his own company, so there was no need for Wei Wu to save money for China Film.

Special effects are something that you get what you pay for. Therefore, the production cost of 100 million yuan was spent in the end.

"So is "Painted Skin" going to be released in the summer season?"

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

"Oh", Yang Mi then asked:

"What about our film "To Youth", will it also be released in the summer?"

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

“If it’s faster in the later stage, I’m going to put it on the 51st gear.

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

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

Precisely because of the May Day Golden Week, the box office potential of the May Day show is still quite large. Compared with the National Day show, it is obviously better than that of the National Day show.

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

Yang Mi asked enthusiastically: "What do you think, is it better to go to the May Day stall? Or the summer stall?"

Wei Wu thought and analyzed: "Although the May 1st gear is shorter and the upper limit is not so high, the biggest advantage is that the competition is not so fierce.

“The competition for summer slots is already fierce, and today’s summer slots may be even more fierce.”

Yang Mi couldn't help but frown: "That's it!"

Wei Wu began to explain to her: "According to the information I collected, the movies released this summer include:

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

"Then there are the action movie "The Fuse" (8.3) starring Donnie Yen and Louis Koo, and the fifth part of the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (8.10)."

There are indeed several ruthless characters here. The first is of course "Transformers", which was the mainland box office champion in its previous life in 2007, with a total box office of 281 million.

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

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

It can be seen that this year’s summer season, the competition is even more intense than the Lunar New Year season.

The remaining "A Better Men", "The Untold Secret" and "The Fuse" also entered the top 15 of the year, with box office receipts of more than 30 million.

In addition, we have to consider that "Painted Skin" will also join this fiercely competitive battlefield, which will once again increase the bloodiness of this battlefield by an order of magnitude.

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

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

In front of the beauty, Wei Wu smiled slightly and said passionately:

"What do I have to worry about? They should be the ones to worry about!

"So what if they come together? The soldiers will stop them, and the water will cover them. Anyway, I will definitely destroy them one by one!"

If someone else had said this, Yang Mi would definitely have said it back immediately:

Will you die if you don't brag?

But Wei Wu was confident when he said this, looking at his arrogant posture of "Looking at the world as powerful 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 behaved very arrogantly to the outside world, his youth and frivolousness were just his protective color. In fact, he had always been sober in his heart.

The main reason why he was so angry was that Han Sanping had already vented his anger with him in advance.

If the screening results of "Painted Skin" are outstanding enough, he will use his administrative connections to postpone the release of all Hollywood blockbusters until August, freeing up July for "Painted Skin" to enjoy.

He doesn't even need to hide it, he can do it openly.

Because of his behavior, there is a very high interpretation:

This is the policy of the relevant departments to protect and support excellent domestic films.

In fact, as early as 2004, the Film Bureau verbally issued a notice calling on all theaters across the country to support domestic films. From June 10 to July 10 (or July to August) every year, the introduction of overseas films was not encouraged. Blockbusters.

This is what made Hollywood jealous - Domestic Film Protection Month.

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

Take House of Flying Daggers as an example. In 2004, "Spider-Man 2" and "Shrek 2" were released in North America on June 30 and May 19 respectively.

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

Hollywood has nothing to do, after all, the schedule of imported films is entirely determined by the distributor. China Film is the only company authorized to operate film import business in my country.

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

To put it bluntly, the schedules of all imported films are arranged by China Film Group. If Han Sanping opened a back door for China Film Group's movies, Hollywood would naturally be angry but dare not speak out.

Our great country has its own national conditions. If you continue to push me, believe it or not, labor and management will choke your neck every day from now on!

Even if you are not tied up in distribution rights, labor and management can still give you three or four Hollywood blockbusters to be released in one day.

Anyway, if I want to cure you, there are plenty of ways!

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

For another example, at the end of July 2013, three Hollywood blockbusters, "Crisis", "Fast and Furious 6" and "Pacific Rim" were released in one week. Not to mention how bloody the scenes were!

If Han Sanping doesn't do this, "Transformers" might really pose a big threat to "Painted Skin".

After all, "Transformers" is the highest-grossing movie of the year in the mainland and the fifth-highest box-office movie worldwide!

But Wei Wu was prepared to teach him a lesson this time:

Are you good at fighting? You know how to beat the shit out of me! To go out and hang out, you need to be powerful and have a background. Which path are you on?

Do you think I will compete fairly with you?

Laughing to death! Nothing fair!

How can you become a master if you have a gun and don't need to use martial arts? (tactical fallback)
