Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chapter 213

However, just when I thought of this, the voice of the system came to my mind again.

[Start the task: If you want to become a top film and television tycoon, you can't do without help. Please help others produce 3 movies or TV series with a duration of more than 1 hour. ]

[Note: The host cannot serve as the chief director or deputy director, but can serve as a screenwriter or provide guidance to the director team. ]

[Reward: One golden lottery opportunity! ]

Cannot serve as the chief director, but can serve as a screenwriter.

Isn't that the case of "The Godly Chef Xiao Fugui" and "Home with Children"?

"System, you said three, do the previous ones count?"

[No. Only works that have not yet been established can be counted. ]

Well, then "Frozen" can't be counted. I have to start over again.

He is currently planning to give "Empresses in the Palace" to Fang Rong, and has also promised to give Chazelle a work.

That's two.

Sun Li is also free, so he will ask him to shoot another one.

It would be best if it was a martial arts film.

It will lay the foundation for the subsequent "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

This year, there has been a wave of kung fu fever in the film and television industry, and some martial arts practitioners have also entered the entertainment industry. Casting for martial arts works should not be as difficult as when filming "Kung Fu".

Hiss - there are so many things to do, and it's a bit messy.

I have to sort them out, otherwise it's easy to miss them.

With this in mind, Chen Xiao took out his mobile phone and arranged the next work by time.

Today is July 11th.

In early August, "Home with Kids" will be released.

In late August, "The Truman Show" will be released.

So far, he plans to rest for the next month and a half. He will only take time to sort out the script, and put aside other things.

In late August, two works will be released, and there may be a large number of directors or screenwriters who will invite him to share his experience.

After solving the above problems, he will contact the outside world to shoot new films.

In September, he began to prepare for the filming of "To Live".

At the same time, he gave out the scripts of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and other works, and then he said that it was the result of his months of hard thinking.

Then in November, "Frozen" was released, and he had basically nothing to do with it.

In January, "To Live" was released, and he tried to publish "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

Let's think about this first. The longer the time, the more uncertain factors there are, so don't think about it for now.

Chen Xiao exited the calendar planning software, put his phone in his pocket, squatted down and patted Huoyun, "I'm going to the equestrian club, you can enjoy your life at home. Bye!"

...

Four days later, July 15, 8 am.

Oriental Media officially issued a message that "The Truman Show" was scheduled for August 20.

At the same time, a movie trailer was issued.

Two hours later, it was already 10 pm in the United States.

In a single-family villa, Walker, the marketing director of Peak Entertainment, had just finished watching the promotional video and was staring at the paused picture on the screen with a frown.

Judging from this promotional video, Truman should be under surveillance and then escape from the "prison".

It is probably a film that explores the inner heart of the character.

There are no gorgeous special effects, no emphasis on love, and no fast-paced excitement.

Most importantly, apart from the appearance, there is almost no place that caters to the taste of the public.

It seems to be an art film.

The director frowned, leaned on the back of the chair, and raised his hand to scratch his hair.

It's unreasonable.

At the beginning of the year, Chen Xiao told the media a long list of ideas for going overseas. He found Chazelle again, and really made such an art film?

What is he thinking?

Young people, with a start-up company under their name, don't make money, but really pursue self-expression?

However... to have a good relationship with Chazelle, it is not certain that his brain circuit is abnormal, or in other words, his brain circuit is not ordinary.

Oh, but looking at this trailer, we might lose money, right?

Thinking of this, Walker picked up the phone and called the director of the market research department.

When the call was connected, he asked, "John, have you contacted the Sydney Company?"

The Sydney Company is the third largest cinema chain in the United States. It is engaged in cinema operations and film distribution, and is not directly involved in film production.

John on the other end of the phone said, "Well, I contacted a friend. He doesn't know the details, but he heard from his leader that the box office of the premiere is estimated to be far less than "Interstellar", so we don't have to worry too much."

Hearing this, the string in his mind relaxed slightly, and his tone was a little more relaxed, "Okay, that's good."

The other end continued, "After all, Chen Xiao is a Chinese. He and Chazelle only cooperated in early April. The script should be completely written by Chen Xiao. I guess it should be similar to "Farewell My Concubine". He can't always be based on us

culture, write an art film?"

"Indeed. Have you checked the reaction in China?"

"I have checked. Wait a minute. Let me take a look at the report sent by my assistant."

Half a minute later, he replied: "The reaction in China is similar to ours, and it is also average. In addition, some passers-by said that Chen Xiao rarely promoted his movies in the past, but this time he promoted it with great fanfare, which made them feel over-commercialized and worried about the quality."

"That's good." Walker nodded slightly.

From the current situation, there is really no need to worry too much.

The film's gimmicks, box office estimates, cultural depth, and market reactions are not excellent, and it should not threaten their market.

"That's good. Our new version of "The Little Mermaid" will be released next month. If you find anything, we will communicate in time. "

"Okay. ”

…

A month has passed in a flash, and it is August 10th.

The students’ summer vacation is half over, and some poor kids have even gone to school with their schoolbags on their backs.

Just when the senior year of high school started in some schools, "Home with Kids" began to air.

This has led to many students’ complaints online that they both love and hate.

"Oriental Media, you are doing evil! You aired it while I was in school."

"Ahaha, thank you for letting me not see it. If I watch your TV series again, I will be a dog."

"Upstairs, your homepage background is all Chen Xiao... bark now."

When some students were studying in the evening, it was 7:50 p.m., and there were only 10 minutes left before the show started.

In a single apartment in the capital.

Secretary He and his girlfriend turned off the lights, sat on the floor, ate snacks, and waited for the TV show on the projection to start.

"Isn't this a children's sitcom? Why did you ask me to watch this? "The girlfriend put down the drink and asked happily and puzzledly.

Secretary He smiled helplessly.

He doesn't like to watch sitcoms, he likes to watch horror movies.

This is work.

Last time, Chen Xiao's "The Godly Chef Xiao Fugui" made a lot of noise, and Minister Li was a little worried.

This time, the Radio and Television Bureau strictly reviewed it, but Minister Li was still not at ease, fearing that Chen Xiao would do something again.

It's not that Minister Li doubted Chen Xiao, but he didn't want Chen Xiao, who was on the same boat with him, to appear in the vortex of contradictions, so he would prevent it if he could.

So he asked him to arrange a trustworthy person to watch it once after the update, and then monitor the online comments after watching it, and find the signs first.

Secretary He arranged someone else to do this. But today is the first broadcast, and he plans to watch it himself.

However, there is no need to explain the work task too clearly to his girlfriend.

"Don't you like Director Chen's work? He is the screenwriter of this TV series, and I will watch it with you. "

The girlfriend smiled proudly and took his arm.

Just then, a prompt popped up on the projection on the wall.

["Home with Kids" has been updated 1-4 episodes]

Secretary He leaned forward, slid the mouse, and clicked on the video.

In the screen, the opening song did not appear as he expected.

Instead, two middle-aged people came out to the cheerful piano sound.

The two looked shy.

The man asked: "Are you willing to be my wife?"

"Yes."
