Chapter 1035 The Idea of Changing the Commander at the Last Minute Is Going to Go Wrong! ? Let Chen Fei Be the Middleman
Chapter 1035 The idea of changing the coach before the battle... is going to be bad! ? Let Chen Fei be the middleman
For a whole day, the news about Zack Snyder’s daughter committing suicide due to depression has been high on the lists of major news media!
In fact, according to the national conditions of the United States, a few people dying every day is nothing at all.
But when the deceased is linked to celebrities or politicians, the effect is different!
The video of Zack Snyder bursting into tears has now gone viral, and all of Hollywood is abuzz over it.
Many fans rushed to post on social media, hoping to comfort this poor father who had lost his family.
For Zack Snyder, this day is almost equivalent to the sky falling!
For DC Films and "Justice League", it is also a similar situation.
Since the test screenings ended a few weeks ago, Hamada has been trying to persuade Zack Snyder to re-edit "Justice League".
But as director Zack Snyder also has a very tough attitude.
He made it clear that the current version is the final version he edited. If DC is willing to use it, then it will be promoted and scheduled for release according to this version.
But if DC is unwilling, then it will have to hire someone else.
But hiring someone else means spending more money, which is undoubtedly difficult for Hamada, who has already invested a huge amount of money in the "Justice League" movie.
So, the two sides were at a standstill.
Hamada also tried to persuade Zack Snyder through his wife. After all, Deborah Snyder is also one of the producers of "Justice League".
After unremitting efforts, the results have been achieved.
But now, with the news that their daughter committed suicide due to depression, Hamada is completely desperate!
Under such circumstances, it is completely different whether these two people can continue to devote themselves to work, let alone re-editing.
After receiving the news, Warner President Kevin Tsujihara came to DC without stopping.
"So what's the situation now? Can the post-production work of "Justice League" continue? Can it be released as scheduled?"
Listening to his boss's words, Hamada didn't know how to answer for a moment.
As things developed to this point, he was completely confused, and he hadn't even thought about how to make the next step of planning.
But at this moment, Julian Rich, who came after hearing the news, made a bold suggestion:
"Boss, since Zack Snyder is unwilling to edit or modify the style of the film, why don't we take this opportunity to find a director who is better at this aspect to take over his work? Do you think this plan can go smoothly? How about implementing it?”
After hearing this, Kevin Tsujihara's eyes immediately lit up: "This is a good method."
Hamada frowned and asked subconsciously: "But who should we find? Who in Hollywood can afford this responsibility? Should we continue to invite Nolan?"
"You can't find Nolan." Kevin Tsujihara directly cut off Hamada's idea.
"Why?" Hamada looked at his boss suspiciously.
"He is preparing an award-winning film. This project is very important to Warner Pictures. No one can distract him!"
Kevin Tsujihara looked extremely serious,
Warner Bros. Pictures has not made any achievements in the Oscar awards for several years, which has also caused the company's ratings and influence to continue to decline.
Moreover, Kevin Tsujihara has promised the group that he must win at least two statuettes during his tenure.
But so far, he has not completed this task.
Some people in the group are already very dissatisfied with him.
Therefore, the "Dunkirk" that Nolan is currently preparing is very important, and there must be no obstacles!
"Then why don't you ask Cameron to come over and help?" Hamada said the name of a great director again.
"James Cameron?" Kevin Tsujihara's face suddenly darkened: ""Avatar 2" was originally scheduled to be released last year, but he kept delaying it, until two years later. Invite him over, you Do you think this "Justice League" can still be released this year?"
Two suitable candidates were rejected by Kevin Tsujihara, which made Hamada irritable.
"Then who should I call now?"
Both of them were lost in thought.
However, at this moment, Julian, who was still from Marvel, took the initiative and suggested: "Why don't we invite a director who is familiar with Marvel's style? Let him re-create the style of "Justice League"?
Abandon the dark style and create family fun..."
After hearing this, both Kevin Tsujihara and Hamada were moved in their hearts!
"Julian, do you have a suitable candidate?" Hamada asked proactively.
"How about Joss Whedon?" Julian chose to recommend his friend and boasted a little: "He was the assistant director of "Avengers" 1 and 2, and was also responsible for directing and producing "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
And he was also the leader in the post-production of the "Avengers" series of movies.
Fei is a completely hands-off boss and has no involvement in post-production at all. Joss Whedon is responsible for everything..."
What Julian said is indeed true. After all, Chen Fei's behavior of letting go of the boss is not a secret in Walton Pictures.
However, he deliberately concealed the detail that every process in the post-production stage was planned and edited by Chen Fei himself.
And this is often the most important part for a movie to be successful!
Without Chen Fei, the post-production of the movie would definitely be a mess, and it would be impossible to create miracles repeatedly!
"Joss Whedon?"
Hamada slowly uttered the name, with thoughts and judgments flashing in his eyes.
He was considering whether to do this. If a director familiar with Marvel style is replaced, can "Justice League" be saved?
But at this time, Kevin Tsujihara made a request: "In any case, "Justice League" must be released this year, and the length must be controlled at about 120 minutes, and the style cannot be dark."
As soon as these three requirements came out, Hamada felt a lot of pressure!
He did not think about it any further, but quickly said: "Julian, please help contact Joss Whedon, I want to talk to him."
"Okay, Mr. Hamada, I will inform him right away."
Julian did not hesitate at all, and took out his mobile phone to call his friend.
But at this time, Hamada raised a new confusion: "Boss, if we choose to replace the director, what about Zack Snyder?"
"It's very simple, either let him withdraw or marginalize him. Anyway, his work is only in the post-production, with or without him."
Hamada nodded gently and kept this sentence in mind.
He was already very dissatisfied with Zack Snyder. If possible, he might as well take this opportunity to force him to leave "Justice League"!
…
“Many Hollywood imported blockbusters have been officially released today, the Chinese-language film schedule continues to decline, and the domestic film market has entered the ‘off-season’.”
“The idol development entertainment reality show “Tomorrow’s Son”, which is controlled by Guangguang and co-produced by Youku and Douyin, has officially set sail today!
The domestic first-line top actor and singer Yang Mi appeared at the press conference as the ‘chief star promoter’ for the first time, and the producer Ma Hao announced the program competition system on behalf of the program team…”
“It was revealed that South Korea’s Lotte Group decided to transfer the land of the Seongju Golf Course to the Ministry of National Defense of its country for the deployment of anti-missile systems. This decision seriously damaged my country’s national interests and aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people of the country!”
After the new day of filming, Chen Fei went online and saw that netizens were almost scolding the Lotte Group!
Looking around, the entire network was almost full of abuse, and the group’s business in the mainland was strongly resisted.
Especially Lotte Mart, which was boycotted by the whole people, and even “heroes” went to the door of its supermarket to throw feces and smear ink.
For the country and the people, this is an extremely serious event that needs to be taken seriously!
But for the film and television industry, this means that the male and female stars of South Korea will no longer have the opportunity to develop in China.
If the previous "South Korean artist ban" was just a verbal agreement, then now it is equivalent to a real order.
Huayi, Mango and other companies have completely stopped at this moment.
But at the same time, with the complete withdrawal of those South Koreans, the idol trainee industry in China was naturally vacated.
This is not a small "cake", but a huge industry worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!
After all, everyone has seen how strong the ability of those South Koreans to make money is.
And the most important thing is that this money is easy to make, and it doesn't take too much effort at all. It's even easier than cutting leeks in the stock market!
After all, those little fans can even choose to give up everything for the popularity of their "brothers"!
Even... the most precious chastity!
For a time, the share price of Guangguang Media, which held the "Son of Tomorrow" project, soared, and the number of people who were optimistic about the future development of the company increased sharply.
At the same time, companies such as Wajijiwa, Lehua Entertainment, Siba Media, Times Fengjun, Awakening East, and Jiangxing Entertainment also began to emerge in the industry and marketed "fan circle culture"!
"Why do I feel that something bad is going to happen?"
Wang Changtian called, and in his excitement, he was inexplicably a little palpitating.
With the launch of "Son of Tomorrow", he always felt as if many flood beasts were released, and they were not put on the ropes, all running wildly...
This is not a good phenomenon. Once there is a problem, it will be a big thunder!
"No matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it is out of control now. All you can do is control yourself, don't make mistakes, and don't be regarded as a typical one day in the future..."
Wang Changtian nodded very seriously, but he was not ready to stop.
A perfect version in 1619, 1 book, 1 bar!
Because the immediate benefits brought to him by this project have exceeded the income from making movies, and this thing does not seem to have much risk now, so he will not give up easily.
Just as Chen Fei said, as long as he abides by the rules, he can continue to make money.
The two chatted briefly about the topic of "Idol Producer" and then changed the topic.
Wang Changtian didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly said: "Oh, right! I've been paying attention to the anti-corruption drama "In the Name of the People" produced by your company recently. Wow, this promotion method is really interesting and gave me a lot of inspiration."
"Alas!" Chen Fei sighed: "This drama is too difficult. Anyway, I have made up my mind that I will never take on the production and promotion of such projects again. It's really troublesome..."
Facing "In the Name of the People", which has no traffic and no young and beautiful actors, the publicity team of Feiyue Film and Television racked their brains.
Everyone knows that conventional publicity methods are difficult to impress the audience, and it is even more difficult to stand out in the fiercely competitive market.
Therefore, after thinking hard, the publicity team finally came up with a more innovative and targeted publicity method.
They first analyzed the needs and preferences of the target audience and found that anti-corruption themes have attracted much attention in the current society, and the audience has extremely high expectations for real and profound content.
Therefore, the publicity team focused on the interpretation of the plot and the interviews with the actors. By deeply analyzing the anti-corruption struggle in the plot, the actors' understanding and shaping of the characters were shown, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of the drama.
At the same time, they also used new media platforms such as Douyin and Weibo to interact with the audience; by initiating topic discussions and soliciting audience opinions, the audience was allowed to participate in the publicity, enhancing the audience's sense of participation and belonging.
This innovative publicity method not only attracted the attention of a large number of viewers, but also left a deep impression on the audience.
In addition, the publicity team also focused on cooperation with major media, and carried out publicity through various channels such as television, the Internet, and newspapers. A number of promotional materials such as promotional films and posters were carefully produced, presenting the wonderful moments and touching stories of the drama one by one.
The special copywriting, coupled with the posters that complement each other, successfully attracted the attention of many new-age netizens.
At this time, on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin, there were even many people playing with the stalks of this TV series.
"Do you think that when people toast him, they are toasting his popularity? Wrong! They are toasting his power."
"Being honest and incorruptible has become an outlier?!"
"What do you mean by being one step ahead? If you have the people in your heart, you are one step ahead."
"Once people's greed is opened, they can't be contained even if they want to."
"In the past, the people didn't believe that leaders would do bad things, but now the people don't believe that leaders will do good things..."
"I know you have regulations that you can't be difficult to get in or have bad faces, but in fact, we, the masses, can't even see their faces!"
Against these classic copywriting, the concept of "extremely large scale" in "In the Name of the People" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
It just so happens that the audience and netizens like the word "large scale", so the reputation of this drama has been successfully promoted. Next, let's see how the data will be after it is broadcast on satellite TV.
For this, the publicity team of Feiyue Film and Television has worked hard and consumed a lot of resources.
It is not an exaggeration to say that in order to promote this drama, the effort spent is even greater than that of promoting a movie!
Anyway, Chen Fei is not going to take this kind of work in the future, it is too tiring!
…
It is getting late in Los Angeles, but it is getting bright in China.
Happy Twist.
After Song Yang finished filming the movie "The Shameful Iron Fist", he entered the intense post-production stage.
The leader has instructed that the movie will be launched this year, so he must race against time.
At the same time, in addition to being busy, he also has to help prepare the project "Li Cha's Aunt", which can be said to be very busy!
But what he didn't know was that while he was busy, the company was already preparing for another movie project.
And this new project was surprisingly led by Yan Fei and Peng Damu, the two directors and screenwriters who created "Charlotte's Troubles".
"Mr. Zhang, we have already written the script, and it depends on you to handle the follow-up matters next."
In the office, Zhang Chen looked at the script in front of him and scratched his head with some worry.
"Are you sure you want to do this project first? I think that "Catching Dolls" is pretty good, why don't you do that project first?"
After "Charlotte's Troubles" became popular, Yan Fei and Peng Damu wrote the script of "Catching Dolls" and found Shen Teng and Ma Li as the leading actors.
This script has even been passed by the internal resolution and will be the fifth movie masterpiece launched by Happy Twist after "The Shameful Iron Fist".
But now, Yan Fei and Peng Damu actually took out a new script, which is adapted from a foreign movie, which undoubtedly caused many variables in the company's subsequent arrangements.
As for Zhang Chen's questioning, Yan Fei responded without hesitation: "We are not very satisfied with the "Catching Dolls" project. I always feel that there are some places that can be further improved; it just so happens that the current project has been perfected, so why not do this project first."
"Okay."
Faced with this reason, what else can Zhang Chen say?
However, looking at the script in front of him, he became worried again: "The script is adapted from the American movie "Brewster's Millions", right? So I need to buy back the adaptation rights of this American movie first, right?"
"Yes."
Yan Fei and Peng Damu nodded at the same time.
The latter explained: "Before the adaptation, we have communicated with Universal Pictures. They expressed their willingness to authorize us to adapt, but the specific cost has never been discussed."
Zhang Chen nodded slightly: "It seems that we have to find a middleman. Don't be cheated. After all, Hollywood is a place that can cheat Wall Street to death; and this is a movie released in 1985, it shouldn't cost much..."
"Mr. Zhang." Peng Damo suddenly interrupted: "Why don't you contact Director Chen? Isn't he filming a movie in Hollywood recently? Let him be the middleman, Universal Pictures will not cheat us, right?"
"Chen Fei?!"
Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Yes! You can find Director Chen! Anyway, this movie will have to find Feiyue Film and Television to invest, so it will be no problem to let him help!"
