This Emperor is Only An Actor

Yue Guan called Father Li to check it out.

Then he got a news that surprised him.

"'Lost in Hong Kong' is scheduled for National Day?"

"Yes, it's also because the National Day slots are very empty, so I moved them directly to the National Day. Originally, this kind of comedy movie is actually more suitable for the Spring Festival slots, but the competition for the Spring Festival slots is too fierce, so I want to find a bargain." Father Li said.

Yue Guan: "..."

It's true that everyone wants to get a bargain.

Hearing that Yue Guan wanted to mention "Feng Shen" II to the National Day file, Li's father directly suggested: "I don't think so, "Hong Kong Ji" mentioned the National Day file, and "Feng Shen" II has no rivals in the Spring Festival file. After all, the Spring Festival stalls still have the greatest box office potential, as long as the quality of "Fengshen" II is excellent and the biggest piece of meat is eaten, the box office will definitely be higher if it stays in the Spring Festival stalls, do you have no confidence in the quality of "Fengshen" II?"

"That's definitely not the case. I know in my heart that the quality of "Fengshen" 2 is absolutely unquestionable. It's better than 1." Yue Guan said.

"Then don't mention the file, let's put it in next year's Spring Festival file. "Fengshen" II will definitely be the number one seed in next year's Spring Festival file."

Father Li's suggestion made sense.

The No. 1 seed in the Spring Festival file and the No. 1 seed in the National Day file are not at the same level in terms of potential.

However, if a comedy movie like "囧囧 in Hong Kong" is placed in the Spring Festival file and the National Day file, there will obviously be a gap in box office potential.

With "囧带 in Hong Kong" missing from the Spring Festival, the box office of "Fengshen" 2 has one less distributor, and it will definitely be higher, although Yueguan didn't think "囧囧 in Hong Kong" was a big threat at first.

"By the way, didn't you make a comedy movie yourself? How's the post-production going?"

"It will be done soon."

"That's not too late. "Hong Kong囧" will be released on the National Day file, which will definitely drive the market for the National Day file. If you have confidence in your comedy movie, you can put your comedy movie on file, so that during the Spring Festival, "" "Fengshen" No. 2 directly lacks two strong competitors, and it's hard to think whether it will hit the box office."

Father Li obviously puts more emphasis on heavy industry special effects blockbusters like the second part of "Feng Shen". In a sense, the box office explosion of this kind of movie is not at the same level as the box office explosion of comedy movies like "囧囧 in Hong Kong".

That's why the success of "The Wandering Earth" in the previous life excited so many people.

Although "Magic City Fortress" quickly extinguished this excitement.

But there is no doubt that once a blockbuster with heavy industrial special effects hits the box office, it will have the strongest boost to domestic films.

In Li's father's mind, "Lost in Hong Kong" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" combined are not as important as the "Fengshen" series.

His suggestion also moved Yue Guan's heart.

In fact, "Fengshen" II, "Hong Kong囧" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" are all aimed at next year's Spring Festival, and "Fengshen" II is the No. "The second and third are listed.

If only the No. 1 seed is kept now, and the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds are removed, Yue Guan will not know that "Feng Shen" will lose first.

There is no need to consider film scheduling in theaters.

Unless you pull your hips, you really have no opponent.

"Uncle Li, I'm very moved by your suggestion. I need to discuss it with someone. If I'm sure I'll raise the file, I'll call you again."

"Then I'll wait for your call."

After finishing the phone call with Father Li, Yue Guan told Wu Ershan the news of "Hong Kong Jiow" being upgraded.

After hearing this, Wu Ershan was overjoyed: "It's a windfall. If "囧带" is released, then "Feng Shen" II's biggest competitor in next year's Spring Festival will be gone."

"So Director Wu now thinks that "Fengshen" II is better left in the Spring Festival file?"

"Of course." Wu Ershan nodded without hesitation.

But he soon thought of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" directed by Yue Guan himself.

In the "Feng Shen" series, Yue Guan is just an actor, while "The Richest Man in Xihong City" Yue Guan is the director.

Thinking of this, Wu Ershan said hesitantly: "Yueguan, if you want to keep "The Richest Man in Xihong City" in the Spring Festival file, and "Fengshen" be moved to the National Day, I have no problem. Anyway, "Fengshen" There is no need to worry about the quality of the second, no matter which schedule it is placed in.”

Yue Guan waved his hand: "Director Wu, you're thinking too much. In this situation, even if I want to raise the file, I will definitely choose to raise the file of "The Richest Man in Xihong City."

Wu Ershan was overjoyed, but he quickly reminded: "Yueguan, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is the first film you directed, and it is a comedy movie, so it is naturally suitable for the Spring Festival."

"That's what I said, but the most important thing is the box office of "Feng Shen". Relatively speaking, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is not that important."

Yue Guan's attitude is actually the same as Father Li's.

"Even if "The Richest Man in Xihong City" breaks the box office record, it doesn't actually mean much. Comedy movies can't help domestic films raise the upper limit. But the box office of the "Fengshen" series exploded, which can attract capital to start shooting commercial special effects blockbusters with heavy industry investment. Being able to promote the establishment of a domestic film heavy industry system has far-reaching significance. I am very clear about which is more important, and the box office of "Fengshen" must be the first priority, even if "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is directed by me."

Wu Ershan gave Yue Guan a thumbs up: "Yue Guan, you really have a plan."

Yue Guan smiled.

In his heart, this is not a pattern, but something he should do when he has reached his status.

Those in high positions account for the most luck in the industry, and of course they have to feed back the entire industry.

The bigger the plate, the more benefits he can get.

"Since Director Wu also wants "Fengshen" II to stay in the Spring Festival file, the original plan remains unchanged. Let "The Richest Man in Xihong City" be mentioned in the National Day file. It is also a comedy movie, which happens to be in direct contact with "Lost in Hong Kong" One touch."

Yue Guan made a decision.

Taking "Fengshen" II and "Hong Kong囧" together, in Yue Guan's eyes, it is a sure win, and it is 99% sure to say it modestly.

However, if "The Richest Man in Xihong City" meets "Hong Kong囧", Yueguan is only 60% sure. After all, "People on the Journey: Thailand囧" has indeed brought a great bonus to "Hong Kong囧".

But the 60% certainty is already worth the gamble.

Besides, Yue Guan's bet with Xu Zheng was based on the box office of "Feng Shen" II and "Hong Kong Jiong", and there was no such thing as "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

If the box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is not as good as "囧囧 in Hong Kong", that's fine, and it won't affect the progress of the bet.

Just as Yue Guan thought of this, the phone rang again.

Yue Guan smiled when he saw the caller ID.

Xu Zheng's.

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

"Brother Zheng, what's the matter?"

"Let me tell you something, "Hong Kong囧" I have moved up the file for this year's National Day, do you want to move up the file of "Feng Shen"?"

Xu Zheng didn't forget the bet either.

"Brother Zheng, are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of? "Hong Kong囧" is the box office king at any time. If you don't believe in evil, you can use "Fengshen" instead." Xu Zheng is very confident.

"How can you use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, Brother Zheng, you don't need to play "Feng Shen" to play "Hong Kong囧". The comedy movie I just messed with can beat "Hong Kong囧" to the ground."

Xu Zheng smiled: "Yueguan, you are inflated. Now that you play comedies in China, unless you call Zhou Xingchi out, it is impossible for anyone to surpass me at the box office."

Yue Guan felt that these words were familiar.

He thought about it for a while, and soon realized that he had watched an online movie called "I'm Just an Actor", and one of his book friends said something similar. There is no comedy movie in China that can surpass "囧 in Hong Kong", unless Zhou Xingchi out of the mountains.

It's really in the same line.

Yue Guan also laughed.

"Brother Zheng, just be ready to make my movie for free."

The previous "Lost in Hong Kong" was also released on the National Day file this year.

But in the previous life, the box office champion of this year's National Day file was "Charlotte Annoyance".

If you want to surpass "Lost in Hong Kong", you really don't need Zhou Xingchi to make a move.
