Chapter 939 Extension
Cultural Administration Building.
‘Dong Dong Dong’
A gentle knock on the door sounded.
Ye Wen lowered her head to process the documents in her hand and said, “Come in.”
The secretary came in with a document and said, “Director Ye, the information you want has been sorted out.”
Ye Wen put down her work, took the document and read it carefully, and the secretary closed the door and went out.
This document is about the detailed performance of various data of “Forrest Gump” to foreign countries.
“Forrest Gump” has such a good box office performance now, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely win the box office champion of this issue of movies.
But until the last moment, no one knows what will happen. Ye Wen has been asking people in the bureau to keep an eye on the overseas film market, so that if there is any special situation, they can know it at the first time.
If “Forrest Gump” can really hold on to the first place box office performance until the end, the impact on domestic films will be huge.
In order to wait for this day to come, she can’t remember how much effort she has made.
Ye Wen looked at the various data on the document and nodded with satisfaction.
Judging from the current situation, the achievements of "Forrest Gump" have reached a new height for Chinese-language films.
Whether it is the degree of discussion or the popularity, it has always been at the top of the global film list of the same period, which has never happened to Chinese-language films abroad.
As for the box office results, there is no need to worry at all. "Forrest Gump" is still the most popular movie in the foreign film market.
Ye Wen looked at the data, she was not sure what kind of results "Forrest Gump" would end with, after all, there was no previous experience to learn from.
However, the only thing she could be sure of was that it would definitely surpass "The Truman Show".
Ye Wen put the file aside. As long as "Forrest Gump" can remain stable, it is worth being happy.
Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.
After checking the latest box office data, Tan Yue was checking some media reports on the Internet. "Forrest Gump" has such a high box office result now, and his happiness is naturally self-evident.
Many people on the Internet said that "Forrest Gump" is the light of domestic films, and he can understand the feelings of netizens.
Everyone would feel frustrated when seeing foreign blockbusters being very popular in China, while domestic films cannot stir up any waves abroad.
And this frustration lasted for decades.
Now it is not easy to see a domestic film achieve such good results, and the excitement in my heart is inevitable.
The netizens' remarks did not make Tan Yue proud. He knew that Chinese-language films still have a long way to go if they want to truly go global.
The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Tan Yue looked up at the door and said, "Come in."
The person who pushed the door in was Chen Ye: "Mr. Tan, the public relations department has sent the publicity plan for the TV series "Kuang Biao". Please take a look."
The filming of "Kuang Biao" was completed two weeks ago, and post-production editing is in progress. The publicity work cannot be left behind.
Tan Yue attaches great importance to this TV series and hopes to achieve good results. Therefore, after the completion of the filming, he immediately asked the public relations department to start making relevant publicity plans.
More than half of this year has passed, and there has not been a popular TV series.
"Kuang Biao" can be broadcast at this juncture, and it will definitely gain a large number of viewers.
With a plan, we can carry out publicity work in a more orderly manner, so that "The Rush" can have enough attention before it is released.
While Tan Yue was reading the documents, Chen Ye was waiting on the side.
If the publicity plan is approved, she will take the signed documents back to the public relations department.
After a while.
Tan Yue said: "Xiao Ye, go to the public relations department to inform Director Feng and ask him to come over."
Chen Ye went out in response. Even if Tan Yue didn't say anything, she could guess that there was probably a problem with the publicity plan.
Just as Chen Ye guessed, Tan Yue saw several obvious problems before he finished reading the entire publicity plan. If it is not modified, it will definitely not work.
Now Wu Gong is still abroad and has not returned to China.
He needs to keep an eye on the situation of "Forrest Gump" in the overseas film market and report to Tan Yue as soon as possible if there is anything.
The boss of the announcement department is not here, and Tan Yue is worried about many things. It's not that he doesn't delegate power, but that there is no one who can take up the responsibility.
Tan Yue also had some new ideas about this. He planned to take advantage of this time to train some capable newcomers.
It is inevitable that Brilliant Entertainment will go to the international entertainment circle. Maybe branches will be opened abroad at that time.
The competition abroad is more intense, and capable people are needed to take on this task.
Tan Yue picked up a pen and directly marked the inappropriate places on the publicity plan. There are still many places to be modified.
There were many mistakes in a publicity plan, but he was not angry. It was precisely because this was the first time the company was involved in an anti-black criminal investigation drama that the employees of the public relations department could gain more relevant experience.
The publicity of anti-black criminal investigation dramas must be different from the style of other types of TV dramas in order to arouse the interest of the audience, otherwise who would come to watch it.
A few minutes later, Chen Ye brought Manager Feng to the office.
"Xiao Ye, pour a glass of water for Manager Feng." Tan Yue said: "Sit down, I'm here to talk to you about the problems in the publicity plan. Don't be nervous. You can say whatever you think."
"Okay, Mr. Tan." Manager Feng took the cup and said softly: "Thank you."
After Chen Ye left, Tan Yue went straight to the point: "Director Feng, I have marked all the inappropriate places on the document. You have to look at it first and listen to what I tell you."
Manager Feng took the document and looked at the marked content carefully.
Tan Yue continued: "In the past, due to relevant policy reasons, it was not easy for anti-criminal investigation dramas to become popular dramas. Now that there is support from relevant policies, this type of drama will definitely be a hit in a while. Type. Criminal investigation dramas have always been loved by everyone, but now that anti-gang elements have been added to them, it’s a bit inappropriate for us to completely copy the formula of a separate criminal investigation drama when promoting it.”
Half an hour passed quickly while the two were talking.
Tan Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of water to relieve his slightly dry mouth, and said: "The above are the four points that need to be modified. Are there any doubts?"
Director Feng looked at some of the things he had recorded, shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Tan, give me some time. I will go back and revise it now, and get you the latest plan as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, the editing of "Crazy" will still take some time. We must ensure that there are no problems with the publicity plan."
Director Feng stood up and said solemnly: "The next time I submit it, it will definitely be the most perfect plan."
As soon as Director Feng left, Chen Ziyu came in with a piece of fruit.
"The weather is so hot, eat more fruits."
Chen Ziyu will buy some fruits online every now and then.
Tan Yue put down the documents in his hands, stretched, stood up from his seat, and said, "I happen to be a little thirsty."
The two of them were sitting on the sofa.
Chen Ziyu asked: "Is Director Feng coming here because of the promotion of "Crazy"?"
Tan Yue picked up a grape, which tasted very sweet. He nodded and said, "There is a mistake in the publicity plan. I have asked him to go back and revise it again."
"Now that Director Wu is not in the company, he still has to personally supervise so many things in the public relations department."
Tan Yue said with a smile: "It's all as it should be. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The public relations department has never promoted anti-criminal investigation dramas. It will be good to slowly accumulate experience."
Chen Ziyu pursed her lips and said nothing, thinking about how to solve the current problem.
As the company expands, there will be more and more things happening, and Tan Yue will have to devote time to filming movies. The two of them cannot do everything by themselves.
"This lychee is delicious today." Tan Yue peeled off the skin and fed it to Chen Ziyu.
Then the two of them chatted about the movie.
"Have you read all the news reports about "Forrest Gump" on the Internet?"
Tan Yue picked up another lychee and peeled it: "I have been paying attention. Wu Gong has also sent reports from some foreign media."
"This time, "Forrest Gump" should be able to secure its first place at the box office."
"It's not a big problem. It's still very popular overseas, and it's far behind the box office of "Thunder Man"."
Chen Ziyu smiled very happily.
She has never doubted the box office success of Tan Yue's movies, but achieving the number one box office result in the global film market was something she did not dare to think about before "The Truman Show."
"By the way." Chen Ziyu said: "Now that the results of "Forrest Gump" are so good, do you think it will be postponed?"
Tan Yue shook his head: "I'm not sure. After all, it's being released in the global film market. It's hard to say whether they can continue to postpone the release of a Chinese movie."
Normally, the top two movies at the box office would be delayed for a month before being released, but the situation of Chinese movies made Tan Yue have to think more.
Chen Ziyu said: "I hope it can be postponed."
Tan Yue said with a smile: "Relax your mind, the current results are already a success for "Forrest Gump"."
It has not happened in decades for a domestic film to reach the top of the global film market. "Forrest Gump" has already made history.
However, Tan Yue still hopes that "Forrest Gump" can be postponed from the bottom of his heart. Who doesn't dislike the high box office?
The longer the delay, the better the box office performance will be.
Tan Yue is now setting his sights on the global movie box office rankings, and he hopes to surpass his previous best results this time.
General Administration of Culture Building, Director's Office.
Ye Wen returned to the computer with the cup in hand. There were still two documents to be processed. She drank two mouthfuls of water without taking a break and started to continue working.
I've developed a habit over the years. If I don't finish my work, I won't be in the mood to take a break.
The file contained movies that were about to be released in the near future. Ye Wen took a quick look and found no works by major directors. She thought that she might be waiting for the release of "Forrest Gump". On the other hand, she might also be waiting for the movie to be released. Waiting for the Golden Week of National Day.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Ye Wen's work.
"Come in."
"Ye Bureau."
"What's going on?" Ye Wen put down the documents in her hands, and the person who came in was a staff member of the external liaison department.
The external liaison department usually interfaces with departments similar to the General Administration of Culture in other countries, and is responsible for the introduction and promotion of film, television, music and other works.
"I have just received news one after another that various countries have requested that "Forrest Gump" be postponed for one month."
There are only a few days left before the one-month release date of "Forrest Gump" is about to end. With the box office performance being good, a request for an extension was naturally submitted.
In addition to the good box office performance, the reason why Forrest Gump was postponed is also because of the meaning conveyed by the movie itself. Such a good-looking inspirational movie is very precious in this era of science fiction blockbusters.
"Good."
After hearing the news, Ye Wen looked quite excited.
The Truman Show was successfully postponed because she made a request, but this time it was different. It was the countries that sent the request, which was completely proactive.
From this aspect, we can see how popular Forrest Gump is abroad.
A few days ago, she was still thinking about how to say the postponement of the movie. After all, face has a limit, and it will be worthless if it is used too much.
Ye Wen took the document, looked at the name of the country on it, and signed the document without any hesitation.
Watching the staff take the document out, Ye Wen looked out the window, and her expectations for the box office performance of Forrest Gump became more and more high.
In the next month, anything could happen, not to mention the current high popularity of Forrest Gump.
Not long after, media from various countries began to report.
United States: "According to the latest news, the two movies "Forrest Gump" and "Thunderbolt" will be postponed for one month."
France: "Forrest Gump has become the most popular movie this month. With its extremely high box office performance and reputation, it has won the opportunity to postpone."
Japan: "Audiences who don't have time to watch "Forrest Gump" don't worry. The theater has received news that the movie will be postponed for one month. Let us continue to reminisce Forrest Gump's life."
South Korea: "Forrest Gump and "Thunderbolt", the top two movies in the box office in July, have been postponed."
Twitter also became lively.
"I knew that Forrest Gump would be postponed. It's a bit unreasonable not to postpone such a good box office performance."
"Fortunately, I saw the news on the official website. I was worried that Forrest Gump could not be postponed. Why do I care so much about the box office of a Chinese movie? Am I a traitor to Britain?"
"Forrest Gump has a feeling of never getting tired of watching it. I haven't had this feeling for a long time when watching movies. Since it has been postponed, I must watch it again."
"Time flies. Forrest Gump will be online for a month soon. It seems that I found out a little too late."
"The postponement is a good thing for Forrest Gump!!"
"This kind of positive energy movie should be postponed!!!"
