Chapter 254 Star Wars VS Lucky Star 2?

"Remember to follow up on the publicity work of the video!"

In the morning, at the company's regular meeting, Wu Cheng said to Susan, the propaganda department manager.

"Also..." Wu Cheng said, looking at Shi Nansheng and said, "Director Shi, on the distribution department, have the translation of 'Star Wars' done? Although 'Fu Xing 2' is being released, there are only 6 games a day, and two games can be released to 'Star Wars'."

Shi Nansheng glanced at Cen Jianxun who was called by Wu Cheng temporarily and said, "If that happens, the movies of other companies can only be moved away temporarily. Is that really okay?"

Cen Jianxun smiled and said, "No problem! I have already arranged this matter. Although "Fu Xing 2" is being released, as time goes by, the audience will definitely decrease and reduce the number of screenings. At that time, those even screenings can be handed over to other film companies' movies."

Shi Nansheng nodded and said, "In another three days, 'Star Wars' will be released, as long as there is no problem with the theaters. However, the promotional article..."

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "There is no need to be too much in publicity. After all, our main promotional goal is "Fu Xing 2". In comparison, "Star Wars" may not be able to achieve a high box office in Xiangjiang. It is also very normal if there is any phenomenon of disagreement with the local conditions."

That's right, but Wu Cheng feels that the emergence of "Star Wars" will definitely have a certain impact on "Fu Xing 2". Although there are indeed differences in Eastern and Western cultures, you can watch "Star Wars" to watch special effects. In today's era, movies like "Star Wars" do not exist at all, and it is very normal for the audience to be attracted to it.

Compared with it, ‘Fu Xing 2’ is much weaker.

However, he did this not only to give Hong Jinbao face, but also to save Donglong International's face. At the same time, he also left a fig leaf for Chinese-language movies.

It is still time to wait until the popularity of "Fu Xing 2" has passed, and then promote "Star Wars".

Wu Cheng nodded, looked at Shi Nansheng and Susan, and said, "Then the 'Star Wars' will be released in a week. Half a month later, the publicity department will increase its publicity for 'Star Wars'. Twenty days later, the publicity work will turn to "Happy Ghost". A month later, the theaters will prepare to release "Happy Ghost"!"

...

After the work was arranged, Hong Jinbao said to Wu Cheng awkwardly: "Acheng, thank you! But is it really okay for you to do this?"

"You mean?" Wu Cheng glanced at him in confusion, and then continued to walk towards the office. Behind them, Le Yiling held the information and followed carefully.

Hong Jinbao smiled bitterly and said, "The potential of 'Star Wars' can be seen from some overseas reports. Its performance that suddenly came to the top of the North American box office list as a dark horse also shows everything. Although 'Fu Xing 2' is good, it is comparable to it..."

Wu Cheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I don't mean to deliberately suppress 'Star Wars', although it is also a video of our company. Moreover, 'Star Wars' and 'Fu Xing 2' are two different films, and the competition between them will not be too fierce."

After pausing, he continued: "However, you know the potential of 'Star Wars'. If you were asked to choose which movie to watch first, I think you would choose 'Star Wars' first! After all, the plot of 'Fu Xing 2' must be linked to 'Fu Xing 1', and 'Star Wars' is a special effect blockbuster that has never been seen before. If two movies are released at the same time and promoted at the same time, this is very unfavorable for 'Fu Xing 2'. As the boss of two companies, I naturally have to consider this clearly."

"That's why I said I want to thank you!" Hong Jinbao said emotionally.

Wu Cheng chuckled, reached out and patted his arm. He said, "Don't think too much, I don't want 'Fu Xing 2' to encounter Waterway Lu, that's all money!"

Wu Cheng felt that if the two films were turned into a competitive relationship, for him, no matter who lost or who lost, he would lose. As long as the potential of "Fu Xing 2" exploded and then released "Star Wars" can maximize the benefits and he can get more.

The two came to the office, and Wu Cheng smiled and asked him to sit down, and then asked Le Yiling to make a cup of coffee for them. "Brother Sanmao, have you ever thought about what movie to shoot next?"

Hong Jinbao smiled and said, "I originally wrote a notebook with Xunqi and was about to shoot it, but Aaron wanted to call me to be the producer. And I was not very relieved that boy, so I agreed and looked at him by the way to avoid letting him do anything."

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "That book is called "Beware of Little Hands", right! Deputy Manager Chen mentioned it to me before, saying that he was planning to set up a group and shoot in the second half of the year."

Wu Cheng remembers that this drama was written by Huang Bingyao, but for some reason, now that Huang Bingyao has not appeared, it has become something of Hong Jinbao and Chen Xunqi.

Chen Xunqi had mentioned to him before, saying that it was the idea that they came up with, and finally asked the company's screenwriter team to write it. The script was also taken over for Wu Cheng to read, and Wu Cheng finally revised it.

"right!"

Wu Cheng nodded, thinking in his heart whether to let them make this film.

Originally, this film was a work from 1982, and it was still four or five years away. Moreover, this film also won Hong Jinbao the Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Of course, the Xiangjiang Golden Star Award has not appeared yet. Wu Cheng had thought about whether to let this award appear in advance! But thinking about it, this matter is actually quite cumbersome, and he still has so many things to do, so he put it aside in advance.

If this movie was filmed in advance, it would be like losing Hong Jinbao's Best National Leader at the Academy Awards. Therefore, he had hesitation at the time.

But after thinking about it, if Hong Jinbao wants to win the award, he may not necessarily need this drama. If they want to shoot it, then let them shoot it! It’s impossible for all the scripts to come out, and he still suppresses it.

If he really did that, Chen Xunqi would probably have an objection! He had no objection, but if the company lost such a talent, it would be more than worth the loss.

"What do you say about Deputy Manager Chen?" Wu Cheng asked.

Hong Jinbao smiled and said, "He has no objection. Anyway, the filming of that drama has not started yet. It will take one or two months from preparation to shooting. This time is enough to get Aaron on the right track, or maybe his filming will be over by then."

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Then let Deputy Manager Chen start the preparation!"

Hong Jinbao nodded, and the two chatted for a while, then Hong Jinbao stood up and said goodbye, because Huang Baiming knocked on the door at this time and entered.

After Hong Jinbao left, Wu Cheng asked Huang Baiming to sit down, then turned around and took out a script from the drawer and handed it to him, saying, "The post-production of "Happy Ghost" has ended, and it's almost time to promote and release. However, this matter has been arranged before. You can take advantage of this time to get familiar with this book first. I hope that after "Happy Ghost" is released, you will start filming this movie!"

Huang Baiming looked at the script that wrote "Eight Stars Newspaper" and looked at Wu Cheng with some confusion, saying, "Boss, do you mean, let me lead this drama?"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "You have also been the deputy director of "Happy Ghost" and are not unfamiliar with these programs for filming a movie..."

"But boss, I, I don't have much confidence in myself!"

Although Huang Baiming was grateful for Wu Cheng's importance, he knew his strengths and was a little eager to be a director, but he knew that he was better at screenwriters and planning. He was actually not very good at being a director.

Wu Cheng also knew this. In fact, in the original historical time and space, this guy didn’t have many opportunities and times to be a director, because New Art City does not lack directors.

Not to mention Xu Ke, just talk about Mai Guangtou. In terms of directorial ability, Mai Guangtou is better than him.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "If you don't have confidence, you can cultivate it slowly! Moreover, you can familiarize yourself with the script first, look for some outdoor scenes, first make all the sets, and then make a storyboard script based on the screen of the script... In addition, I will act as the producer of this drama. If something is wrong, I will remind you." After pausing, he said, "Besides, this drama will be released for the Spring Festival, and you still have half a year to tinker with. What are you going to worry about?"

"I, I'm worried about messing up!" Huang Baiming was embarrassed and moved.

Wu Cheng chuckled, leaned against the back of the big gang, and said, "I remember that when I was only the deputy director of Brother Sanmao's crew, I dared to pick up the director by myself. You have been with so many crews. Are you still worse than me at that time? You know, I was only sixteen years old at that time!"

Huang Baiming smiled bitterly and secretly complained, how dare normal people compare to monsters!

He knew that Wu Cheng came to Xiangjiang at the age of fifteen to film his first film and became an associate director. He directed the man at the age of sixteen and made his first film. Now he was seventeen, and he has made three movies.

He is always so confident, and there is no time to be unconfident.

可他是黄佰鸣,不是他吴承啊!

"If you really don't have confidence, just find an experienced assistant director. Our company shouldn't be short of such an associate director!" Wu Cheng said again.

In fact, there is indeed no shortage of such deputy directors in the company. But in Wu Cheng's view, these deputy directors are just about experience and do not have the spirituality of those great directors in later generations.

In Xiangjiang, as long as you are a director with some skills, you are not afraid of being unable to make a fortune, because in the 1900s, when Xiangjiang films flourished, there were so many opportunities.
