Chapter 356 What is a fucking surprise?
We really need to let the bullets fly for a while.
Because although the release date of "Let the Bullets Fly" has been set, in fact, nothing is ready yet.
First of all, the post-production of "Let the Bullets Fly" is still proceeding at a intensive pace. Although Yu Xiaoshu is the director of this drama, one-third of the scenes were shot by Li Qing. But when it comes to post-production, no one can help Yu Xiaoshu.
Everything depends on Yu Xiaoshu himself.
First of all, no one knows better than Yu Xiaoshu what happened after the film "Let the Bullets Fly" was completed.
Secondly, Yu Xiaoshu is quite good at post-production, as he has been working in this field for more than a year.
Director Xu Yu Xiaoshu is still a newcomer.
But when it comes to post-production, Yu Xiaoshu dares to say that he is the best.
That's how the situation is.
"Here, delete these sections. They were for comparison during the previous filming, but I don't want the lines to be wordy. Whether it's Zhang Mazi, Huang Silang, or Ma Bangde, the lines of these people should be as concise as possible."
Yu Xiaoshu said to the editor.
"Okay, Mr. Yu, I understand."
The editor said hurriedly.
Yu Xiaoshu wanted to continue speaking when a staff member knocked on the door.
It turned out that someone from the publishing company had arrived.
Baiqian Media does not have its own distribution company. At the same time, the distribution companies of several large companies will not pay attention to Yu Xiaoshu. So Yu Xiaoshu followed Judy's advice and found a medium-sized distribution company.
Judy has worked with this distribution company several times.
How to say it?
They have the capability, but they can only push a few movies a year, and the rest of their releases either flop or fail.
But according to Judy, at least this distribution company is not a scam.
With some publishing companies, you don’t even know where they spend their money.
Think about it, on Earth, at least Yu Xiaoshu can count the number of movies that were ripped off by distribution companies, but the top leader can't count that many.
"Hello, Mr. Yu. I am Zhang Haotian, the vice president of Baoying Distribution Company. This is my business card."
When Zhang Haotian saw Yu Xiaoshu, he was the first to hand over his business card.
To be honest, Baoying Distribution Company has also had a difficult time in the past two years.
Several large domestic entertainment companies have their own distribution departments, so it is impossible for film and television dramas to go to them. In addition, several large distribution companies have joined forces. For example, "Meteor" and "Return of the Dragon" released during the National Day, these two heavyweight films, were distributed by several companies working together.
The upper body eats meat and they drink soup.
But just drinking soup is not nutritious.
It’s not that Baoying Distribution Company has no connections, but they made several wrong choices in the first half of the year and all of them ended up flops.
Cinemas are the most realistic.
They may give you some good screening schedules and showtimes a few days ago because of their previous relationship, but if the movie is not good, you may be able to tolerate it a little on the first day, but you will definitely not be able to tolerate it on the second day.
After all, everyone has to eat.
Zhang Haotian also knew about Yu Xiaoshu.
He knew how many miracles Yu Xiaoshu had created, and Zhang Haotian also recognized Yu Xiaoshu's abilities. Although many directors and screenwriters who were eventually adapted into movies failed, Zhang Haotian believed that Yu Xiaoshu should be different.
It was precisely because Zhang Haotian believed that Yu Xiaoshu might be a little different that he came here in person.
Of course, there is a more important point, that is, Zhang Haotian and Judy are good friends.
Judy told Zhang Haotian this was an opportunity.
Because not many people care about Yu Xiaoshu in the film industry right now, or to be more precise, because Yu Xiaoshu said that film and television dramas should be consistent, he is basically ridiculed by many people.
In short, Yu Xiaoshu is not the public enemy of the film industry, but there are definitely many people who hate Yu Xiaoshu.
In this case, the big film companies will definitely look down on Yu Xiaoshu. In addition, given Yu Xiaoshu's personality, it is impossible for him to go to the market and curry favor with others.
Another point is that since the release date of "Let the Bullets Fly" has been confirmed, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your Baoying Distribution Company.
"Do you dare to bet?"
Judy said to Zhang Haotian: "If I were you, I would 100% bet on it. If I lose, I lose. If I lose, the situation won't be too bad. But if I win, then your Baoying Distribution Company will turn the situation around in an instant."
Do you dare to gamble? ?
For Zhang Haotian at the moment, it is actually still somewhat difficult.
He must be responsible for the company.
But Zhang Haotian came first today.
There is an important reason, which is that he needs to see the rough cut of "Let the Bullets Fly" first. Even if there is no rough cut, it would be good for him to read the script first.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him to take a gamble when he has nothing.
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Zhang Haotian and said, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down."
"Teacher Yu, how long will it take for the post-production of Let the Bullets Fly to be completed?"
Zhang Haotian asked directly without getting to the point.
"It's expected to take another month. The reason I announced the release date of Let the Bullets Fly first is to warm up the audience in advance."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhang is worried, then we can wait until the post-production of Let the Bullets Fly is completed."
"Teacher Yu, you also know that sometimes the promotion of a movie may start from the very beginning of the movie, and if we can really cooperate, then we will definitely be responsible for the promotion of M's "Let the Bullets Fly"."
Zhang Haotian explained at this time: "This "Let the Bullets Fly" is actually several steps late, and you also know that there are two heavyweight blockbusters during the National Day, both of which are domestically produced. After all, the National Day period also needs to protect domestic films. In addition to these two heavyweight blockbusters, there are 6 medium-sized ones and 5 small ones. Any of these films is currently better than "Let the Bullets Fly"..."
Obviously, Zhang Haotian is worthy of being the vice president of Baoying Distribution Company. He knows everything about the movies that will be released during the National Day holiday.
Then, Yu Xiaoshu admitted that what he said was right.
However, Yu Xiaoshu doesn't care much about the promotion of "Let the Bullets Fly".
If all the publicity and promotion is done now, what will be the hot spots by then?
So, he said to Zhang Haotian: "Mr. Zhang, this is the full cast of Let the Bullets Fly. Please take a look first."
This lineup has always been kept secret, and it can be said that no one outside knows about it, so when Zhang Haotian saw this lineup, he was a little bit incredulous.
"Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang???"
Zhang Haotian looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said seriously, "These two also participated in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly"? "
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "They didn't just participate, they were the main actors."
Zhang Haotian said in disbelief: "Really?"
"Of course, I won't lie to you about this. We have been keeping it a secret since they started participating in the show. In order to prevent them from leaking the information, we basically used other people to throw smoke bombs..."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhang Haotian at this time.
How is this possible???
Ning Fan is not to be mentioned. Guo Zeqiang is not someone that can be hired just because you have money.
What’s more important is that these two people don’t get along.
That's right.
Almost everyone knows that these two people don't get along.
There is even a lot of time when the two of them seem like kings who never meet each other.
As a result, Yu Xiaoshu actually invited them, and they were the leading actors to play opposite each other.
If this is true, then "Let the Bullets Fly" has really launched a big satellite.
What's going on? There's no one from the film industry to act in "Let the Bullets Fly", what's going on? "Let the Bullets Fly" is definitely a flop, what's going on? There's no reason for filmmakers to act in "Let the Bullets Fly".
What's the result?
What is this??
What the fuck is this??
Surprise?
This is a fucking surprise.
However, Zhang Haotian still found it a little unconvincing.
That's right.
He was worried that this was Yu Xiaoshu's smoke bomb, but when he thought about it carefully, there was absolutely no need for Yu Xiaoshu to release such a smoke bomb.
It is indeed really not necessary.
"How about this, Mr. Zhang? Let the Bullets Fly is currently undergoing post-production editing. Let's go take a look first."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhang Haotian: "This way you will have an idea."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Yu, I really don't disbelieve you, I'm just a little curious."
Zhang Haotian hurriedly explained at this time.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled noncommittally and said, "I know."
He really knew it.
Sometimes, if you want people to believe you, words are never as powerful as actual actions.
Good.
Zhang Haotian came to the editing room, and when he saw this situation, he was really speechless.
He didn't even need to read the script anymore.
yes.
What the fuck is this script?
The scene that Yu Xiaoshu asked Zhang Haotian to watch happened to be the classic rivalry between Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang.
You translate, translate.
What is called a fucking surprise???
Yu Xiaoshu just edited this segment.
He just planned to show this paragraph to the distribution company.
You distribution companies, take a look at it yourself, isn’t this a fucking surprise? ?
yes.
If this isn't a fucking surprise, then what the fucking hell is a surprise???
Back in the conference room, Zhang Haotian was now more interested.
"Mr. Zhang, don't be anxious. This is the script. Take a look at it first. After you finish reading it, we can talk again."
Yu Xiaoshu handed the script to Zhang Haotian.
After all, it's a negotiation, and Yu Xiaoshu is now prepared to increase the bargaining chips one by one.
And the stakes are increased in order to gain greater voice.
Zhang Haotian began to read the script.
Two full hours.
Yes.
Zhang Haotian read the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" for two hours. For him, he really didn't expect that the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" would be so good, and then compared it with the previous clip.
What else is there to say??
This "Let the Bullets Fly" may really be able to launch a big satellite.
"Teacher Yu, our Baoying Distribution Company is willing to take on this film alone, and in the next few months, until the National Day, our Baoying Company will provide services exclusively for this film. We will definitely use all our relationships to escort this film. If it were other films, we might charge 10 to 15 points, or even 20 points for some, but for Let the Bullets Fly we only charge 8 points..."
Obviously, Zhang Haotian remembered what Judy had said before.
Bet or not?
Now that things have come to this, of course I have to take a gamble.
Because he looked at the cast of "Let the Bullets Fly" and then read the script of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Judy believes that Yu Xiaoshu has never failed in TV dramas, so now it seems that Yu Xiaoshu may really be able to create a bigger miracle in the film industry.
Yes.
At this point, Zhang Haotian believes that "Let the Bullets Fly" may really create an even bigger miracle.
8 points really shows the sincerity of Baoying Company.
In this case, Yu Xiaoshu did not bargain any further.
At the same time, he felt that Zhang Haotian was really a pretty good collaborator.
What Judy introduced is somewhat reliable.
Just like that, it was officially decided.
Yu Xiaoshu needs to complete the post-production as quickly as possible. At the same time, Zhang Haotian is preparing to go back to discuss the post-promotion with the company.
One hour later, Baoying Distribution Company, conference room.
"Mr. Zhang? You agreed directly? And you gave me 8 points?"
"This, this, Mr. Zhang, how can this be possible? Judging from the current publicity, Let the Bullets Fly is bound to be a flop."
"Mr. Zhang, I think Let the Bullets Fly will definitely not work. Besides, if we release a movie like this, it's likely to continue to flop."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, we..."
…
At this time, everyone in the conference room expressed their objection.
After all, everyone’s performance this year is not good.
Although Zhang Haotian is the vice president, Zheng is his father, so he is almost the same as Zheng.
Hello, your father Zhang Haotian, you are fine. But if our performance is not good, we will either have our wages deducted or be fired.
"Be quiet for a moment."
Zhang Haotian said to everyone: "Do you think I'm a fool? If I didn't think that Let the Bullets Fly would be successful, how could I do this?"
"But, Mr. Zhang, Let the Bullets Fly..."
Zhou Zheng, the manager of the distribution department, was about to say something at this time, but was interrupted by Zhang Haotian: "I can only tell you one thing, the current cast of "Let the Bullets Fly" is a smokescreen, the real leading actors of this movie are Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang..."
This sentence shocked everyone else in the conference room.
And it was like a bolt from the blue.
What? ?
Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang?
In addition to these two, there is also a strong lineup of movie actors.
How the fuck is this possible??
The others were all stunned at this time.
