Chapter 842 Schedule
Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.
Tan Yue checks the real-time ranking of global movie box office online, and keeps an eye on the latest developments in the movie market. The changes in the box office can more truly reflect the audience's preferences.
He also often reads the best comments from netizens on major websites. Some movies with low box office but good reputation are also within Tan Yue's attention range. The box office of this type of movie usually slowly reverses.
The reason for doing so much understanding is to have a rough estimate of the global movie market when "The Truman Show" is released, and to have a psychological expectation in advance.
A knock on the door sounded in the quiet office.
"Come in."
Chen Ye knocked on the door gently and came in: "Mr. Tan, the crew of "The Truman Show" is here."
"The Truman Show" was completed a week before the Spring Festival. Everyone was eager to reunite with their families, so the completion banquet was held after the New Year.
The shooting cycle of "The Truman Show" lasted for more than seven months. In order to allow the crew members to have a good rest, their vacation was extended by one week.
They have all returned in the past few days. After arriving at the company early this morning, Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to go to the film department to count the number of staff members.
Tan Yue nodded and said, "Let's set the wrap-up banquet on the evening of the 20th day of the first lunar month, which is Friday, at Shunli Shanshui Manor. Xiaoye, go and notify them and arrange the relevant matters."
The filming period was very hard, so Tan Yue booked the place for the dinner at Shunli Shanshui Manor, which has food, drink and entertainment.
Chen Ye went out in response, and the relevant work of the dinner was handled quite orderly. First, he contacted Shunli Shanshui Manor to confirm that the wrap-up banquet could be held. Then he notified the film department about the wrap-up banquet.
Tan Yue turned off the computer and went to the editing room.
In a blink of an eye, it was Friday.
Two buses stopped at the door of the company, attracting a lot of attention.
"Are they going to have a dinner party?"
"Don't you know? Mr. Tan's new movie has not yet been wrapped up, and they are going to Shunli Shanshui Manor for a dinner party tonight."
"Ah!? I'm tired of saying envy. When will it be our turn?"
"There will be bread. Sooner or later, it will be our turn."
At this time, a dozen people came down from the elevator excitedly. They were the crew members who were going to Shunli Shanshui Manor.
"I haven't been to Shunli Shanshui Manor yet. I'm a little excited."
"Can you be as calm as us, without any ups and downs in your heart?"
"How can I compare with you? Tsk tsk, I've been there so many times."
The crew members of "The Truman Show" came down from upstairs one after another. After the first bus left, the second bus left soon.
Tan Yue drove to Shunli Shanshui Manor alone.
The post-editing work of "The Truman Show" is still going on, and Tan Yue has no intention of drinking.
After arriving at the manor, he saw Zhang Lake coming to greet him.
"Mr. Tan, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year."
"I went to Nanhai in the second half of the year and was busy. I almost didn't come back to Beijing, haha."
"I said that last year I wanted to invite you and Mr. Chen to have a meal together, but Mr. Chen said that you were busy and didn't have time. You are really too hard as a director."
"I will treat Mr. Zhang to a meal when I have time."
The two chatted. After several exchanges, they had a good impression of each other and were willing to make friends.
After a few pleasantries, Tan Yue came to the restaurant. All the crew members had arrived, and the wrap-up banquet began.
After all, the crew members had been together for seven months, and they were all old employees of the company. The atmosphere of the whole dinner was extremely lively.
Tan Yue didn't drink this time, so everyone focused on Ma Guoliang.
From the initial refusal to the later acceptance of everyone.
Once again, everyone saw Ma Guoliang's alcohol tolerance.
He was still very confident about the overall quality of the film, but the market competition was too fierce. When "The Truman Show" was released, what kind of global film market environment would it face?
It was the end of March in a blink of an eye.
Tan Yue was processing emails on the computer.
This was an event related to a variety show. Some of the matters had basically been negotiated. Now we just needed to look at the details.
After a while, Chen Ye was called to the office.
"Xiao Ye, I sent you a project agreement for cooperation with a variety show. Print two copies and send the other one to the artist department."
The artists participating in the show were all singers of the company. The artist department would coordinate directly with the staff of the program group.
"Okay." Chen Ye turned and went out.
Tan Yue moved his shoulders, got up to get some water, and returned to the computer to continue working.
There were still many documents waiting for him to deal with.
'Dinglingling, dinglingling'.
The mobile phone on the side rang, and the person who called was the person in charge of the editing room.
Tan Yue frowned slightly and answered the phone: "Is there any problem?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned at first, and hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Tan, "The Truman Show" has been edited!"
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something went wrong at this critical moment.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Tan Yue put down his phone, ignored the documents in his hand, and immediately went to the editing room.
"Mr. Tan."
The people in the editing room had already prepared and were waiting for Tan Yue to make the final confirmation.
"Let's get started."
Tan Yue did not say much nonsense. He sat in front of the computer and carefully watched the edited "The Truman Show".
The editors sat behind Tan Yue, waiting for the final result.
They had repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, but they were still a little nervous.
Time passed by minute by minute, and until the last scene of the movie, Tan Yue's eyes never left.
"No problem, you did a great job."
The edited complete version of "The Truman Show" was completely in line with Tan Yue's expectations.
Warm applause broke out in the editing room.
Tan Yue gave them enough time to edit the movie, but they did not dare to slack off at all. Working overtime was a common thing.
Now that "The Truman Show" has passed the inspection, the big stone in my heart has finally fallen.
Emotions such as relaxation, happiness, and joy instantly surged in my heart.
Tan Yue was very happy.
"The Truman Show" took nine months to finally complete all the work.
The next step is to set a release date and officially meet audiences around the world.
Tan Yue, who had just returned to the office not long ago, received a phone call from Xu Nuo.
"Old Tan, do you want to play some ball?"
"You go first, I'll go after I finish the documents in my hand."
"The Truman Show" has been completed, and he has been in a highly tense state. Now he can relax.
"OK!"
After Xu Nuo hung up the phone, he took the thermos cup to arrange his work and went to the gym.
"Deputy Director Xu, come and play ball?"
People who often come to the gym know that Xu Nuo only plays billiards in the gym.
The most attractive thing in the whole gym is billiards. In his eyes, other fitness equipment can be said to be a pile of useless scrap metal.
Xu Nuo nodded, walked to the billiard table, and began to find the feeling of playing ball in advance.
Although he lost every time, Xu Nuo really wanted to win from Tan Yue once and regain his face.
Tan Yue sped up the speed of flipping through the documents. After more than ten minutes, he handed the documents to Chen Ye and went to the gym on the first floor.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
"Hello, Mr. Tan."
The staff in the gym greeted Tan Yue one after another.
"Haha, OK."
Tan Yue responded with a smile and walked to the pool table: "Fatty, how's your practice going? Are you confident today?"
Xu Nuo didn't answer, but hit the last ball into the bag, as if to swear his confidence.
"Today, I'll tee off first."
The two set up the balls, and Tan Yue swung and tee off.
It quickly attracted many employees around, and several people discussed in a low voice.
"What do you think the result will be today?"
"I guess it will be one to four."
"Who is one? Who is four?"
"It must be Mr. Tan. Those who often go to the gym should know who will win between the two of them."
The first game ended with discussions.
Xu Nuo said with a little pride: "Mr. Tan, can the speed of my ball skills growth be described as visible to the naked eye?"
Xu Nuo won the first game with a huge advantage.
Tan Yue smiled and didn't say anything.
Many people around were talking and laughing while watching the game.
"Deputy Director Xu is indeed much better."
"This is only the first game, and the competition will start later."
"This situation has also happened, let's wait and see."
The second game between Tan Yue and Xu Nuo began.
As they gradually got into the state, the situation became tense, and finally Tan Yue won the second game with a weak situation.
Xu Nuo, who almost won the second game, looked regretful.
"I want to win the third game."
Sometimes slogans are still useful, and Xu Nuo won the third game as he wished.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Xu Nuo said nothing and quickly invested in the fourth game.
Tan Yue won the fourth game.
Tan Yue still won the fifth game.
The people around laughed.
"I knew that Mr. Tan would definitely win."
"Today's battle was quite intense, and Deputy Director Xu just lacked a little luck."
Xu Nuo picked up the thermos cup and drank water: "Alas, I still lost."
He heard someone say that his luck was not very good today, but he felt that it had nothing to do with luck.
Losing every time is enough to show that Tan Yue's skills are getting better and better.
Tan Yue put the cue back: "Go back to work."
Xu Nuo covered himself with the quilt and nodded silently.
Although he lost, he knew that his skills were not good enough and there was still a lot of room for improvement in the future.
As the two left, the people watching the game gradually dispersed, some went back to continue exercising, and some went back to work.
In the elevator, Xu Nuo asked curiously: "Old Tan, why are your billiards skills getting better and better?"
"Maybe it's because I'm too talented."
Xu Nuo nodded helplessly, feeling bitter but unable to say anything, and could only sigh that he was not a talented player.
Tan Yue returned to the president's office, found Chen Ye, and said: "Xiao Ye, let Director Wu Gong and Director Zheng Tong come to my office."
"Yes, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye immediately set off to the film department and the public relations department.
After returning to the office, Tan Yue sipped the tea and sat on the sofa to rest for a while.
Playing billiards doesn't seem to require a lot of exercise, but playing five games in a row still consumes a lot of physical energy.
The editing of "The Truman Show" has been completed, and they were asked to come here to start arranging the next work.
Not long after, Engineer Wu and Zheng Tong came to the office.
"You guys sit down."
Tan Yue told the two of them about the completion of the editing work of "The Truman Show".
Both of them were a little excited when they heard this.
"The Truman Show" is the first movie of Bright Entertainment to be released simultaneously around the world. The completion of post-editing means that it will be available to the audience soon.
Tan Yue continued:
"Today I want to discuss the promotion plan and release date with you. When do you think it will be released?"
The two counted the days ahead, and then said in unison: "May 1st."
Wu Gong and Zheng Tong looked at each other and smiled.
"I think this is a pretty good day. "The Truman Show" is scheduled to be released on May 1st."
In order for "The Truman Show" to be released simultaneously around the world, enough time needs to be set aside for promotion.
But you don’t need too much, as too long will only whet the audience’s appetite.
More than a month of promotion time is enough for many viewers to know about the existence of this movie.
After drinking a cup of tea, Tan Yue said: "Mr. Zheng, go and communicate with the General Administration of Culture. The film needs to be arranged by the General Administration of Culture before it can be released abroad."
"Understood." Zheng Tong nodded solemnly and replied.
There was nothing else to do next, so Zheng Tong got up and went back to the office to prepare related matters.
The film's release date has been confirmed, so it's natural to start pre-release publicity.
Wu Gong asked: "Mr. Tan, when will the relevant publicity plan start?"
"I was just about to tell you about this matter. Come up with two publicity plans, one for domestic publicity and one for foreign countries. Separate domestic and foreign publicity plans."
Domestic and foreign situations are completely different.
With Tan Yue's current influence and the special nature of this film, a little publicity can attract widespread attention in the country.
It will be much more difficult abroad.
Chinese films are not very popular in foreign film markets. If you want more foreign audiences to notice them, it will take a lot of effort.
After receiving the task, Mr. Wu quickly returned to the public relations department to discuss the publicity plan.
afternoon.
Wu Gong came to Tan Yue's office: "Mr. Tan, this is the domestic promotion plan for "The Truman Show". Please take a look."
Tan Yue put down his work and carefully read the publicity plan.
The domestic promotion of "The Truman Show" was divided into three steps, and the scale of promotion became larger each time. This is also a solution that is often used in the country and has been practiced many times, so there is no problem.
"Just follow the above plan. You also need to prepare a foreign publicity plan for me as soon as possible. It should be as detailed as possible. After all, the national conditions of European and American countries are also different."
As he spoke, Tan Yue signed his name on the publicity plan.
Wu Gong left the office with the publicity plan in hand, and the domestic publicity plan for "The Truman Show" was officially launched.
