King of Special Effects

Chapter 512 Do you want hard steel? (35)

That is, when Evans finished filming all the scenes, a piece of news that could explode the movie circle was swiped on the Internet.

The movie "Avatar 2", which has attracted much attention from the past few years, is officially finalized.

It was released in mainland China on December 1 this year, three days earlier than the North American market.

After a long period of preparation and production, coupled with the blessing of the first global box office record that has been maintained for more than ten years, its ability to kill all movies in seconds can be imagined.

Imported by China Film Group, it will land in theaters in major cities in China in December. The exact number of films scheduled has not yet been determined, but according to the predictions of relevant insiders, it should not be too low. If there are no other strong IP films to join, at least it will remain Over eighty percent.

It's only March, and there are still nearly nine months until the release date, and the promotional work for their film has officially begun vigorously.

After Yi Yang saw the news on the headlines, he didn't feel anything special.

Director Cameron is a director who creates miracles. It must be reasonable that the box office record he set has not been broken for so many years.

This "Avatar 2" may be able to create miracles again, breaking his own record.

But what if my own "Three-Body Problem" is hard steeled against it?

This idea suddenly appeared in Yi Yang's head, not because of fever, but an attitude. In Li Yunlong's words, this is a kind of "spirit of bright sword".

Originally, Yi Yang filmed "The Three-Body Problem" to challenge the ultimate goal of the highest box office. If he dared not even face this new film directed by Cameron, then it would be a broken record.

At that moment, when the crew was resting, Yi Yang called Yuan Zhengzhong, A Ming, Su Yanxin and Tan Xincheng over, and also Gong Ying who had just arrived in Shunning and was preparing to win the distribution rights of "Seven Heroes" shout over.

Although Yi Yang is the boss of the company, he is not an authoritarian. This kind of matter still needs to be discussed in a meeting.

When Gong Ying knew that Yi Yang planned to release "Three-Body Problem" at the same time as "Avatar 2", she was shocked!

"Director Zhang Yimou's "Seven Heroes" was originally scheduled for December. Now that they have "Avatar 2", they seem to want to change the file ahead of time. Faced with such a strong IP, is it possible?"

Amin also raised his concerns, saying: "Yes, "Avatar" is not like "Transformers 6". Director Cameron has prepared for more than ten years, and fans of "Avatar" have also waited for more than ten years. If this It burst out all of a sudden, and the strength is strong, can we hold it?"

"I think it's safer to stagger the schedule. After all, they have already scheduled releases, and they are more prepared than us in all aspects of publicity and marketing. Hard steel, the risk is great!"

Yi Yang didn't express any further opinions, but asked Yuan Zhengzhong: "Old Yuan, what's your opinion?"

"I think that hard steel may have an unexpected effect. It is impossible for us to do all the publicity work, let alone from a global perspective, but if we announce that it will be launched at the same time as "Avatar 2", then yes Wouldn't it be able to cause enough topics to get a little bit of their enthusiasm?"

Yi Yang nodded, and then asked Su Yanxin: "Old Su, what do you think?"

"Me? I think what Old Su said makes sense, but Brother Ming and Sister Ying's opinions are safer. I'll listen to you!"

Forehead!

Yuan Zhengzhong slapped him across the face: "You're good enough, if you say it, it's nothing."

"Sister Ying, if we start distribution and marketing in various regions in July, will it be too late?"

Gong Ying was taken aback: "From July to December, more than four months should be enough time, but now it will only be more than three months from July to July. Can you finish the filming?"

Yi Yang nodded: "Yes!"

"Now I have completed more than half of the special effects of "The Three-Body Problem". When we finish filming the scenes, it will be almost the same, and then we will spare time for dubbing. The finished film will be released in July, and it should be almost the same."

What Yi Yang said was yes, but in fact he was 100% sure that it would be completed in July.

In terms of special effects, Yi Yang also lied, because he hasn't done a single frame so far.

But the independent special effects of "Book of Changes" are very fast to use. If the camera is organized, one night is enough.

Even if Yi Yang made it manually, it can be completed in half a month.

The completion of the film is not a problem, the focus is on post-release work.

If you want a film to achieve good results, it is not enough to rely on a good film, and other aspects must also keep up.

Although Yi Yang keeps saying that he doesn't care about the box office, the box office can explain everything more directly, and sometimes some things are so contradictory.

Gong Ying thought about it carefully, and then said: "Then I will withdraw from the competition for the distribution rights of "Seven Heroes" now, and remind Huayi to change the file of "Seven Heroes". If they stick to the original plan to launch in December, they will definitely die Miserably."

This is also true. They were at an absolute disadvantage in the face of "Avatar 2". No.

It is said that the finished film has not been seen yet, but according to Gong Ying's long-term understanding of Yi Yang's movies, "Three-Body Problem" definitely has the same instant killing ability as "Avatar 2".

"Fans of "Avatar" have been waiting for this movie for more than ten years. Similarly, the title of "Three-Body Problem" has also been waiting for this movie for more than ten years. Although we are at a disadvantage in all aspects, our movie plot And the quality of special effects will surpass them, which is our only advantage."

"Compete with them for plot and special effects!"

Yi Yang said leisurely: "Just like what Lao Yuan said, we can also use this method to increase the popularity of "Avatar" and increase our exposure."

Gong Ying also went on to say: "The team's three-month preparation time, materials, plans and partners, we can cover the domestic market, and we can also win the North American market, but in other parts of the world, I can't do it alone. Lao Yi, if you want to face "Avatar 2", you need a partner, a strong partner."

Why doesn't Yi Yang know about this?

Moreover, he has already made plans in this regard: "Sister Ying, give up the distribution agency rights of "Seven Heroes", and then you try to contact Bernard, Huancheng and Huayi for distribution agents. The ratio of cooperation with them is 50% or higher.”

"However, in any case, we have to hold the agency rights of the mainland and North America. Unless their conditions can be equal to ours, otherwise we will never let go."

Gong Ying smiled: "Hearing what you said, my blood is boiling. I originally planned to swim for a month in May, but now it looks like I'm going to be ruined!"

Yi Yang directly waved his hand and said, "Beating "Avatar 2" broke the world's highest box office record. The company is on vacation for two months. I personally take everyone in the team on a trip. The company pays for it. You can go anywhere you want!"

Gong Ying waved her mobile phone: "This is what you said, I can record it!"
