It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

"If I were Chen Feiyu, what would I do if I had a father like Brother Chen Kai?"

Looking at media reports, netizens' comments, and clips from variety shows, Chen Fei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Living in a depressing environment every day, one must yearn for "freedom" and "excitement" in one's heart. Otherwise, if one can't get relief, one's spirit will definitely be suppressed to the point of confusion!

And in a place like the entertainment industry, once you start chasing freedom, excitement, madness... that will cause big problems and big troubles!

"One day when Brother Chen Kai 'wipes his son's ass', I wonder if he will regret the pressure he has given him in education?"

Chen Fei murmured to himself, and at the same time secretly made up his mind.

When he has children in the future, he will never give them such a heavy pressure. It is enough for them to live a happy life.

Anyway, he has made so much money now, and he doesn't have to worry about his children not having enough to eat or wear warm clothes. As long as there are no defects and problems in ideology and morality, that is enough.

At 9 o'clock, Chen Fei arrived at the company smoothly, and then came to the projection room accompanied by his assistant.

At this time, except for him, everyone else had arrived.

"Good evening, everyone."

"Fei, come, sit down quickly."

After greeting everyone, Chen Fei sat down next to Natasha, and then looked at the big screen.

"Here you go."

Natasha handed over the 3D glasses.

"Okay, thank you."

After Chen Fei took it, he put it on quickly, and then made an OK gesture to the projectionist.

The next second, with the lights in the projection room dimming, the preview officially kicked off.

The story of "Ready Player One" takes place in 2045. Due to the energy crisis and various problems in real life, human society is on the verge of collapse.

But in this era, virtual reality technology has been greatly developed, and a virtual reality game called "Oasis" has led the global trend!

Before his death, the creator of this game, James Halliday, announced that he had set an Easter egg in the game. The first player who passed three levels, collected three keys and found this Easter egg would inherit all his stocks and the ownership of Oasis, totaling five trillion US dollars!

And this news successfully attracted countless players to join the adventure of finding Easter eggs.

The male protagonist Wade Wozniacki and his friends are also looking for Easter eggs... At the same time, a company called IOI has also hired a large number of players to conduct trials day and night in order to gain control of Oasis, trying to get the Easter egg.

In trials again and again, Wade and his friends gradually approached the truth of the Easter egg.

They first passed a thrilling drag race, used reverse thinking to retreat at full speed, successfully avoided the attack of dinosaurs and King Kong, and obtained the first brass key.

In the process, Wade met the heroine Samantha Cook, and the two quickly became friends and searched for the second key together.

In the process of looking for the second key, Wade discovered a regret in Halliday's relationship when he was young.

They decided to start the investigation from here, and successfully helped Halliday make up for the regret of not being able to invite his crush to dance when he was young because he was not good at expressing himself. At the same time, they also obtained the second Emerald Key in the process.

However, IOI's CEO Nolan has been secretly obstructing their actions. He sent people to hunt down the protagonists in the game and even tried to kill them in the real world!

In the process of searching for the third key, the protagonists went through one test after another.

They finally found that the trial location of the third key was to play a game on the Atari 2600 game console on the Doomsday Planet in the game.

After a thousand luck, Wade successfully entered the trial location of the third level.

But during the trial, Nolan suddenly broke in and activated the Son of Destruction bomb, trying to kill all the players!

However, in the end, Wade was lucky enough to be resurrected successfully with a resurrection coin and successfully got the third crystal key.

Then he inserted three keys into the magic door, and finally got the Easter egg successfully...

The whole story is based on an adventure about virtual reality and real life. Through the experience of Wade and his friends, it explores modern people's dependence on the virtual world and escape from real life.

The film not only presents a thrilling adventure, but also triggers the audience's deep thinking about human nature, friendship, love and the impact of technology.

With its unique subject matter and creativity, wonderful visual effects, rich Easter eggs and tributes, and profound theme discussions, this 140-minute movie, with the blessing of 3D-lMAX visual effects, brings a strong sense of shock!

The most amazing thing is that there are many classic movie and game characters and scenes in it, depicting a grand game world!

And the overall plot is not dragged at all, the whole process is explosive, without any water!

Especially in the final "decisive battle" scene, when the mechanical Gatannier faces Tiga and Godzilla faces Gundam, the whole screening room cheered!

It is no exaggeration to say that this movie is a feast for comic fans, movie fans, and game fans. Various easter eggs and jokes come one after another, which not only dazzles people but also generates a strong sense of resonance!

Even passers-by will find it highly entertaining after watching it. After all, the special effects of this movie have reached the extreme, and it is definitely the world's top level!

As the film officially ended, some people hurried to find the toilet, while Chen Fei and the technicians began to discuss some small issues that need to be improved.

"In fact, overall, this movie still has some flaws in the depth of the plot, the delicacy of character creation, and the rigor of logic and settings.

Although the movie combines treasure hunting, adventure, science fiction and other elements, the overall plot is relatively simple and direct, lacking some deep emotional entanglements or complex changes in the characters' hearts.

And some plots and settings may not be rigorous in logic, which is also the place that will inevitably be criticized by some fans in the future..."

Everyone listened very seriously, and also gave some ideas and opinions that can be adjusted.

Brainstorming is always the best way to solve problems.

After more than 40 minutes, a complete adjustment and modification plan was freshly released.

"Fei, we need a week to make the revisions, and then we will have a second internal preview."

"Well, OK, I'll come back in a week."

It is absolutely impossible to tell a story perfectly in 140 minutes, even if God comes, he can't do it.

However, if some of the bigger flaws can be made up, it will definitely help the box office and reputation of the movie after its subsequent release.

And this is exactly why a movie has to be previewed and screened before it is released.

Because only after checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps can it be a blockbuster and finally achieve a good result!

After leaving the screening room, Chen Fei followed Natasha to her office.

As soon as he entered the door, Natasha handed him a form: "These are the several schedules selected by the marketing department after comprehensive analysis for the release of "Ready Player One."

Chen Fei reached out to take it and his eyes fell on the form.

5-26, 9-08, 11-17, 12-15, 12-22...

A total of 10 schedules, almost covering all the high-quality time periods from the summer vacation to the end of the Christmas season.

Chen Fei thought for a moment, picked up a pen and crossed out several dates in the summer vacation: "The film has not been officially completed yet, there is no need to rush to send it to the theaters, and we don't have the pressure to make a profit."

As he said, he crossed out the three dates in the autumn season one by one: "The popularity of the three months of August-September-October is too low, and it is not suitable for marketing and promotion of super A-level big-budget movies."

"That means November and December?" Natasha leaned over with interest and suggested: "How about November? Kill the spirit of "Justice League"?"

Chen Fei smiled and shook his head: "No need, after all, November is not a popular period, and our film still needs to be considered for global release, so the Lunar New Year period is the most appropriate."

"Lunar New Year period?"

Natasha was not particularly familiar with this term, after all, there is no Lunar New Year period in North America.

"It's the Christmas season."

"That's December 22?"

"Yes! It's December 22!" Chen Fei smiled: "In the next period of time, while you pay attention to 20th Century Fox, you must also urge the distribution department to negotiate with major theaters.

Our goal is to release it simultaneously around the world, so that the marketing and publicity effects can be maximized, which is also the most favorable situation for us."

"Okay, I understand."

Natasha nodded heavily and took on this heavy responsibility.

She is still quite confident in North America, but if she negotiates with theaters and distribution departments in other countries, she may encounter some obstacles.

But with the current energy and strength of Walton Pictures, she believes that those obstacles in front of her will eventually be successfully pushed away!

…

“The 67th Berlin International Film Festival officially ended last night. Hungarian director Ildikó Inyedi’s “Flesh and Soul” won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film; South Korean actress Kim Min-hee won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress for “On the Beach at Night Alone”… Chinese-language films unfortunately missed out.”

“At 10 o’clock this morning, the comedy film “A Good Show”, directed and starred by Huang Bo, and starring Chen Hao, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yixing, Yu Hewei, and Wang Xun, officially held its opening ceremony in Beijing.”

“Produced jointly by Enlight Films, China Film, Tao Piaopiao Film and Television Culture, Huaying and other companies, directed by Xu Chengyi, starring Tony Leung, Bai Baihe, Jing Boran, Li Yuchun, Dapeng, Junru Wu and others The fantasy and comedy film "Monster Hunt 2" has officially been announced to be completed today!

At the completion press conference, Jiang Zhiqi, chairman of Edko Pictures, once again emphasized that "Monster Hunt 2" will definitely not have the same "box office stealing" incident as before, and fans are requested to wait and see and give the film a chance to make a fresh start..."

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"La Peikang, chairman of China Film Group, attended the completion press conference of "Monster Hunt 2" and revealed that the film is expected to be released in theaters during the Spring Festival next year to meet with major movie fans. "

"In an interview with reporters, Tony Leung revealed that after the completion of "Monster Hunt 2", he will seamlessly join the film version of "Midnight Diner" crew and will direct and act himself;

The drama version of "Midnight Diner", previously starred by Huang Lei, has been officially announced to be broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV and Capital Satellite TV's prime time on June 12. "

"..."

Looking around, the entertainment news about the completion of "Monster Hunt 2" and the official announcement of the Spring Festival is very popular, suppressing other entertainment news.

And Jiang Zhiqiang's promise that he will never continue to "steal the box office" almost made many people in the industry laugh.

Only some netizens, under the rhythm of the water army, will speak out to support him and "Monster Hunt 2", and others don't believe him at all!

"Not stealing the box office? Haha, then what are you going to make? "

Watching the news, Chen Fei curled his lips, thinking that Jiang Zhiqi was just farting.

But then again, this guy is still quite smart.

Just like Huayi chose to pull Huaying and Bayi into the same camp before, this time, Anle Pictures actually chose to pull China Film and Huaying into its own camp.

There is only one purpose for doing this, that is, to guard against Pan Asia Cinema Line's blatant and deliberate suppression of the screening of "Monster Hunt 2".

China Film and Huaying are both state-owned enterprises. Pan Asia Cinema Line naturally cannot openly target the movies they have invested in.

But then again Here we go. If you can't do it openly, you can do it secretly!

It's not like you are the only one who can go to the Spring Festival period with "Monster Hunt 2"?

And this time, if Enlight Films has any sign of stealing the box office, Chen Fei will definitely go up and crush him directly!

Even China Film and Huaying will have to eat the "melon drop" because of this!

If you want to be a protective umbrella, you have to bear the price you deserve!

...

At this time, China Film.

In the office, La Peikang stared at Jiang Zhiqiang in front of him, and warned in a deep voice: "I hope you can do what you say. Things like "stealing the box office" must be stopped. The higher-ups have issued a red-headed document!

As for the publicity and promotion, since China Film has also participated in the investment, I will naturally help you, and I will definitely not let "Monster Hunt 2" be specially targeted in terms of scheduling. ”

“Don’t worry, Mr. La, I have absolute confidence in our movie…”

Jiang Zhiqiang patted his chest and promised solemnly.

However, after leaving China Film, he changed into another look.

In the car, he was talking on the phone with the head of the distribution department, and the topic of their conversation was exactly about the arrangements after the release of "Monster Hunt 2".

“Mr. Jiang, this time we decided to start the charity screening in advance and invest at least 100 million to screen it for free for specific audiences, and in this way, our first-day box office will be at least 100 million. ”

“Not enough! Far from enough! I need a higher first-day box office! "

Jiang Zhiqiang's face was full of madness!

The main reason for doing this was to increase the box office in the first few days of the movie's release, creating a "false impression" of popularity, so that "passers-by" who don't know how to choose movies to watch during the Spring Festival will follow suit and buy tickets.

The market for the Spring Festival is already very large. Both "The Mermaid" and "Operation Red Sea" have achieved a single-day box office of over 300 million yuan, which undoubtedly made Jiang Zhiqiang's appetite grow.

In his opinion, if the first-day box office of "Monster Hunt 2" can break 400 million or even 500 million... and create a new box office record, then wouldn't the popularity explode?

And doing so can also increase the attendance rate in the first three days of the movie's release, thereby affecting the subsequent scheduling, so why not do it?

On the other end of the phone, the distribution manager smiled and continued, "Mr. Jiang, I talked to Mr. Li of Tao Piaopiao before, and he gave me a very interesting "fancy private screening" operation, which I think can be used to try it out on "Monster Hunt 2". ”

Fancy booking of theaters?

Jiang Zhiqi asked in confusion: "Tell me more specifically, how do you do it?"

"It's very simple. During the profit period, we can buy some seats in the theater in advance, but there are no real audiences when watching the movie. This method of pumping up the box office is more covert and will never be discovered."

"Hey! This is a good idea!" Jiang Zhiqi's eyes lit up: "If we do this, we can completely use other theaters, not just do tricks in our theaters."

"That's right!" The theater manager added: "Mr. Li of Tao Piaopiao said that he can use the platform's rules and loopholes to help us operate in the dark in major theaters.

However, it is a pity that Pan Asia and Wanda Cinemas have terminated their contracts with Tao Piaopiao, so the platform cannot affect these two largest theater platforms in China.

This also means that if we want to do tricks with Pan Asia and Wanda, we have to spend real money to buy movie tickets, and we can't get more rebates..."

"It doesn't matter! "Jiang Zhiqi laughed: "What if it's real money? We can get back all the initial investment in the stock market."

"So is that the plan?"

"Yes, let's do it! The first-day box office performance must get a new record!"

"But won't it be too conspicuous?"

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Zhiqi smiled confidently: "As long as the publicity, popularity and audience expectations of the film before its release are large enough, it will not be surprising to get a 'brilliant' first-day box office performance."

"But Weibo..."

"We are not considering Weibo this time. We are mainly going to Douyin and Kuaishou for publicity and marketing. The young users of these new media platforms are the main force of consumption. Our target this time is them!"

When he said this, he seemed to have a rising emotion called "anger" in his heart.

Just because he offended Chen Fei and Feiyue Film and Television, Weibo has been suppressing the popularity of "Monster Hunt 2", so that all kinds of publicity and marketing are difficult to implement smoothly.

Fortunately, other new media platforms have gradually developed in the past two years, and he finally doesn't have to worry about being suppressed by Weibo.

"Mr. Jiang, you have to set an expected target for us."

Jiang Zhiqi took a deep breath and said word by word: "The first day box office...starting from 500 million! The total box office is at least 3 billion!"
