Chapter 998: Targeting "Black Fire", Scheduled for the Spring Festival
The next day.
Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.
Chen Ye knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Tan, it's time for the meeting."
"Okay." Tan Yue stood up and went to the conference room. On the way out, he met Chen Ziyu and the two of them went together.
Tan Yue just came back and organized a high-level meeting of the company, which was attended by directors and deputy directors from various departments.
As soon as the two people arrived in the conference room, everyone came over to say hello. They had not seen each other for a long time and missed each other very much.
Soon the meeting started.
Tan Yue said: "Long time no see, everyone. The purpose of organizing today's meeting is to understand the company's recent situation so that we can make plans for the next development in advance. Let's start with the new media department."
"The new media department has been implementing the plan to support top anchors."
Tan Yue records something in his notebook from time to time.
After finishing his speech, Tan Yue asked several questions, and finally asked: "How was the effect of the large-scale live broadcast event organized last time?"
"The results are very good. One anchor is about to have more than 10 million fans."
Tan Yue said with satisfaction: "Linked live broadcast is a good way to attract traffic. We can hold more large-scale live broadcast events of this kind in the future. We must pay special attention to such potential anchors."
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. With the directors of each department taking turns to speak, Tan Yue had a complete grasp of the company's current situation. He returned to the office and looked at the meeting contents compiled by Chen Ye, laying the foundation for the company's development direction for the next year. Make plans.
The year is coming to an end in two months, and some things need to be done in advance.
Not long after, Chen Ye sent in a document, and Tan Yue picked it up and looked through it carefully.
This document was submitted by the artist department, and it contains a list of the company's artists with activities.
A strong company can bring countless benefits to actors, but in the final analysis it still depends on their own abilities.
Forging iron requires oneself to be strong.
In the direction of artist development, the company has taken great care in teaching students according to their aptitude.
Everyone has their own development path.
After reading the entire document, Tan Yue was still very satisfied. Many actors were active.
Tan Yue looked at the time, got up and went to the editing room. The most important task at the moment was to edit "The Godfather".
"Mr. Tan." The person in charge saw Tan Yue coming in and hurriedly stood up to say hello.
"You all sit down and continue working." Tan Yue asked, "Have you encountered any problems?"
"Not yet, everything is being edited according to the script you gave me."
Tan Yue nodded, sat next to the editor and started reading.
"Stop here." Tan Yue said, "Turn over the other section."
He was very impressed when filming this scene. At that time, the scene could be completed in one take, but he still made a reservation.
This scene is a dialogue between Ma Guoliang and Fan Shan.
The editor followed Tan Yue's request and called up another segment and watched the two videos repeatedly, even checking them frame by frame.
Tan Yue said: "Let's use the first one."
"good."
In Tan Yue's opinion, he still thinks that the first pass was better, and the actors' facial expressions were more accurate.
In the following time, Tan Yue gave guidance from time to time. It was not just a simple video piece, but also had a lot of background music, especially the size of the sound.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and the return of the "Godfather" crew to China has already been photographed by paparazzi.
With Tan Yue's popularity, any piece of news that breaks out will generate huge traffic.
Major media outlets have released relevant news reports one after another.
""Entertainment Events": "The Godfather" is suspected of being completed!! According to the latest news, Tan Yue, who has been filming movies abroad, appeared at the Beijing International Airport for more than three months. "The Godfather" is likely to have been completed."
""News Entertainment Report": Tan Yue suddenly appeared at the international airport, with a large number of crew behind him. Tan Yue appeared in public for the first time since the announcement of the filming of "The Godfather". His new movie "The Godfather" has a high probability It has been completed, let’s look forward to this movie being released simultaneously around the world.”
""Capital Entertainment": Tan Yue's new movie "The Godfather" has been completed. Tan Yue has returned to China yesterday. The reporter was confirmed by Bright Entertainment Company that "The Godfather" has officially been completed. The release time of the movie is not yet known, so stay tuned!"
The Internet exploded. In just half an hour, the number of searches for the term "Tan Yue's new movie is finished" has exceeded 100 million, becoming the number one hot search on Weibo, and the comment area was even more lively.
"Okay! Teacher Tan Yue's new movie is finally finished, can't wait for the movie to be released!"
"I just said that Mr. Tan Yue makes movies very quickly. I think he will be able to see it in the cinema soon."
"After waiting for so long, I finally got the latest news about the movie. I really want to see this movie as soon as possible."
"I beg you to release it as soon as possible. Among the current movies, only Teacher Tan Yue's movies suit my taste. I can't watch other movies at all."
"Teacher Tan Yue always does big things quietly. There is no notice when the movie is finished. Did I miss his Weibo? I'm going to check his Weibo."
"Report again and again. I want to know when it will be released."
Single city.
Gou Sang scratched his not too thick hair, closed his eyes tightly, and recalled a topic.
He was doing a mock test. He had clearly done this question before and had memorized it at that time, but he couldn't remember it.
Gou Sang murmured in a low voice: "What was it? What was the answer?"
'Pa' Gou Sang hit himself in the face and said with a relieved tone: "I remember it."
It took an hour to complete a set of mock test questions.
Gou Sang did not rush to correct the wrong answers, but went out to smoke under the tree at the door of his house, holding his mobile phone in his hand and opening Weibo.
He still likes to browse Weibo recently, where he can see real-time hot news.
"Fuck." Gou Sang took a puff of cigarette and clicked on the first hot search entry with a little excitement.
Looking at the news reports one by one, Gou Sang became more excited.
"It's finished! It's finally finished!"
He searches for the latest news about "The Godfather" on movie forums and major social media software almost every day, hoping to see this movie in the cinema as soon as possible.
Gou Sang smoked a cigarette and looked at the comments in the comment area with a smile on his face. The long-awaited movie finally had new news.
His mood now was the same as the people in the comment area. He wanted to know the release date of "The Godfather". However, thinking that it had just been completed, he would definitely have to wait for a while before it was released. He suppressed his joy and continued to browse Weibo.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
After the media reports, there was no news related to "The Godfather" on the Internet, and related topics had never been the first hot search, but many people were looking forward to this movie. Every day, a large number of fans would leave messages under Tan Yue's Weibo and the official Weibo of Brilliant Entertainment Company.
Of course, Tan Yue was not idle. He spent most of his time in the editing room every day. Even if he was not in the editing room, he was in the office processing documents.
He also saw the fans' messages, but the editing work of "The Godfather" was still in progress. After the release date was determined, he would naturally post messages online to respond to fans.
"Xiao Ye, the documents here have been signed. You can send them over. I'll go to the editing room later. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye left with the documents.
Tan Yue got up and went to the editing room.
The editing process of "The Godfather" has been smooth. The editors are all old employees with many years of experience, and Tan Yue is there to guide them.
After editing a clip, Tan Yue said to the employees around him: "Turn it up for me, play it from the beginning, let me see how it works?"
"No problem." The editor skillfully operated the computer and started playing.
In the next two hours, Tan Yue carefully looked at the edited clips. The editing work of "The Godfather" has been nearly 70% completed.
After the end, Tan Yue gently patted the editor on the shoulder: "Well done, there are no problems at the moment."
"It's all because of Mr. Tan's good guidance that our work is so smooth."
Tan Yue called the person in charge over and arranged: "Send this edited content to my email later."
"Okay."
"You guys continue to be busy, I'm going back to the office first, come to me as soon as you have anything."
The person in charge nodded and said: "Okay."
Tan Yue came to the president's office, and when he pushed the door into the office, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and came to the side, which was where Chen Ye worked.
"Xiao Ye."
"Mr. Tan." Chen Ye stood up hurriedly.
"Go and help me call Zheng Tong and Mr. Wu, I have something to ask them." Tan Yue returned to the office and opened his email on the computer.
The person in charge of the editing room has sent the edited clip.
Tan Yue wanted this clip for two purposes.
First: to ensure that there is no mistake, he wants to watch it several times and pay attention to the details of each picture.
This is a requirement for myself and also a responsibility to the audience.
Another purpose is to prepare a promotional video.
The promotion of a movie usually releases trailers one by one, and the trailers are more and more exciting as they go on, which is the final trailer that we often see. Just like this, the popularity of the movie is increased little by little, which arouses the audience's desire to watch the movie.
Tan Yue poured himself a glass of water and stood by the window looking at the scenery outside. The purpose of calling Zheng Tong and Wu Gong was to discuss the movie's release date and promotion.
"The Godfather" has less than 30% of the content, and it will be completed in about a week.
As a director, he can decide these things himself, but there are many people and many ideas. Brainstorm and see how to let more people around the world know that such a movie is being released.
Tan Yue called the two of them at this time for another reason.
"Black Fire" has been announced to be released on February 19, and China is during the Spring Festival.
This movie is also released simultaneously around the world. As China is the largest movie market, anyone would want to come and get a piece of the pie.
He has been following the latest situation of "Black Fire". Last night, Columbia Entertainment suddenly announced the release date, which became a hot news on Twitter.
After all, the two male protagonists in the movie are also international superstars with many fans around the world.
"Black Fire" has released the first trailer, but the content is too little, and basically nothing can be seen. We need to watch the rest of the content.
Tan Yue retracted his gaze and returned to the computer. He must have wanted "The Godfather" to be released on the same day.
After a while, Zheng Tong and Wu Gong came to the office one after another.
Tan Yue said: "I asked you to come here today to discuss the release date of the movie "The Godfather" and related publicity work."
Zheng Tong and Wu Gong were shocked. "The Godfather" is the company's third film to be released simultaneously around the world.
"I think you all already know about the movie Blackfire."
Wu Gongdao: "I know, this movie is a Columbia production. From the director's words at the press conference, it sounds like the plot of "Infernal Affairs" is similar. It is very likely that it is plagiarized from our movie. But there is insufficient evidence now, even if It’s also more difficult to do with evidence.”
Zheng Tong clenched his fists tightly, but there was nothing he could do. Many people in the film department mentioned this to him at that time.
Tan Yue nodded: "Mr. Wu is right. It was precisely because of this incident that I came up with the idea of filming "The Godfather". Yesterday, "Black Fire" was announced to be released on February 19th, so I also thought about it. What do you think about setting the movie "The Godfather" on this day?"
"I agree." Zheng Tong was the first to answer: "If they dare to plagiarize our movies, we must teach them a lesson. Even if it is a movie from a well-known foreign entertainment company, with two international stars, we must teach them a lesson."
If it were a movie made by another director, he would not have the confidence, but Tan Yue's movie immediately became controversial.
And he has been holding this breath for a long time.
Tan Yue smiled and asked, "Director Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Gong thought for a moment and replied: "February 19th is during our Spring Festival and our Golden Week for movies. It seems that they have also taken a fancy to this time period. I also agree to let "The Godfather" be released at this time. Although our lineup is not as strong as the other's when it is released, I believe that this movie will achieve good box office results like before. "
Tan Yue is their greatest confidence.
"Okay, then the release date of "The Godfather" will be February 19th." Tan Yue said: "Next, we will discuss matters related to publicity."
Because we want to defeat "Black Fire", the promotion this time must be better than before.
Wu Gong first described the publicity method that he thought was good. After all, he had done publicity twice in various countries around the world.
Zheng Tong was also very active today and made suggestions one after another.
The three people discussed it for a long time.
Wu Gong wrote a lot of things, and finally went back to make a detailed publicity plan.
