Cheng Yuan went to China Film Academy to speak out!

This is too much!

"Director Han, don't do this! I made the reservation for November 5 half a year ago, now you can put "2012" in."

Yes, China Film has confirmed that it will introduce "2012" and intends to release it in November to compete with "The Martian".

It's not that Cheng Yu'an is afraid of "2012", but that China Film Group doesn't take itself seriously by doing this.

Both films are special effects blockbusters, and both have the potential to sweep the box office and win the championship. Now China Film wants to release "2012" into November, but Cheng Yu'an is the first to refuse.

Director Han is also very troubled by this matter. Colombia has decided to release the film in November. To ensure a global release, it cannot lag too far behind.

Colombia also knows that it is impossible for him to enter the Lunar New Year stall in December, let alone the National Day stall in October.

Director Han also knew that it would be unkind to release "2012" into November to compete with "The Martian", as it would hurt both sides.

"Director Han, what date does the other party want?"

"The initial request is to release it simultaneously with the United States on the 13th."

Cheng Yuan quickly objected: "No, just giving me one week is not enough. How about changing the schedule of "2012"."

Director Han was particularly embarrassed about this matter.

"The Martian" will be released globally, which is a rare treatment for domestic blockbusters. He really looks forward to Cheng Yu'an delivering a perfect answer to China Film.

But "2012" Colombia is also strong.

Director Han gritted his teeth: "I will push "2012" for another week and release it on the 20th, giving you a two-week window. If it is any longer, I will have no choice. This is almost the latest release in the world."

Cheng Yu'an is still dissatisfied with this schedule change. He wants "2012" to be moved to February next year.

"No!" Director Han said without thinking that Cheng Yu'an was thinking nonsense.

It's so late, global pirated copies have already been released, and major subtitle groups have already spread the resources all over the world.

Besides, there will be a lot of domestic films released in February next year, including "Su Qier", "Flower Field 2010", "Love in the City" and "Little Soldiers".

Put "2012" in to destroy them?

"This is already the longest window I can get for you. If it doesn't work, I can only transfer you to the Lunar New Year slot."

This is actually a miscalculation by Cheng Yuan. When setting the schedule, he only wanted to avoid "Avatar", but he did not expect that "2012" would come in.

But the two-week window period is enough for him to harvest, but he just needs to increase his publicity efforts.

For a moment, Cheng Yu'an really wanted to agree with Director Han and move "The Martian" to the Lunar New Year slot.

However, the ads for "The Martian" scheduled for November 5th have been running for more than a month. Changing the schedule at this time would involve too much, and the early publicity would be in vain.

However, if he has Director Feng's face, he can also play the trick of fixing, withdrawing, and re-fixing again.

However, he is a bit unable to do this kind of thing.

Director Feng had already decided on this propaganda strategy early on - during which he could also criticize the censorship system.

But the film is a real deal and has written in black and white with its global partners that it will be released globally on November 5th. If you break the contract at this time, you will have to pay liquidated damages.

The 20th is the latest date set for the simultaneous release of "2012" in Asia - this is the date in Japan, and it will be difficult for China Film and Television to talk about it any later.

Cheng Yu'an agreed with Director Han's suggestion.

Returned to the company after leaving China Film Academy.

"How is it? What did Director Han say?" Cheng Lingfeng asked him.

""2012" gives us two weeks on the 20th. This is the longest window period I can get. You should seize the time to promote it."

This matter is very troublesome. It took more than two or three years to get rid of this problem, but now something like this happens.

…………

"The Wind" performed strongly!

The early publicity was in place, and the film took in 17 million box office on the first day.

Judging from the opinions of various movie viewing groups organized offline, the majority of the reviews are positive.

"Watching the whole movie felt like I was playing the 'Killing Game' along with it. The suspense was very well created. I kept guessing who the 'old ghost' was. It was very interesting."

"What's particularly rare is that this film is not like many other spy films that rely on mystery to create an atmosphere. The story is told completely and clearly, but it is not dull."

"As a commercial blockbuster, "The Wind" is not so majestic and upright at the beginning. It is not until the final mystery of the film is revealed that it enters the spiritual level. Gu Xiaomeng and Wu Zhiguo are still able to sacrifice their lives for righteousness despite being tortured. This is awe-inspiring.

What supports them is undoubtedly their firm belief. Although the story at the beginning of the film is not described in a positive way, I believe that every audience will be excited after seeing this. This is the difference between "The Wind" and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"

, after watching the previously strongly released "The Founding of the People's Republic of China," 50% of the audience still believes that "The Wind" is better and is the most worth-watching National Day gift blockbuster."

By the time "The Wind" was released, "The Founding of a Republic" had already entered its third week, and the box office trend was already showing weakness.

"The Wind" has completely outperformed "The Founding of the People's Republic" from the third day onwards, and administrative protection will not require such a long time.

"The Wind" directly accounts for half of the films scheduled nationwide, and Yuan Yuan's own Golden Harvest even gave 80% of the screenings - it was not randomly scheduled, but was added based on audience demand, and every screening was full.

In the first week, it did not exceed 100 million, and it collected 84 million.

Cheng Yu'an and the main creators participated in programs and interviews day and night, and went to theaters in various places to promote it.

Although "The Wind" is also a star-studded film, their box office appeal is really mediocre.

But "The Wind" is a movie that relies on plot to win. Currently, it can only rely on word-of-mouth and publicity to boost the box office.

If "The Wind" follows this trend, it should have no problem winning the National Day title.

This year we have a total of 8 days off during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The Wind" grossed 150 million at the box office, and the total box office exceeded 200 million, becoming Yuan Yuan and Cheng Yu'an's highest-grossing film so far.

To this end, a grand celebration party was held remotely in Beijing to celebrate the birth of the company's first 200 million box office movie.

It was also at the end of the holiday that news came from Bay Island.

"The Wind" was shortlisted for six awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards: Best Actress (Both Zhou Gongzi and Jiang Wenli were selected), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, Best Art Design and Best Costume Design.

This year's Golden Horse Awards have received very good nominations. The three films "Li Mi's Conjecture", "Ip Man" and "The Wind" received a total of 10 nominations.

"I definitely can't go." Cheng Yu'an finally returned to the capital.

Logically speaking, as the director of "The Wind" and the producer and producer of two other films, he should not be absent from the Golden Horse Awards.

"At that time, "The Martian" was being released, and I must still be doing promotional work." Cheng Yu'an took a sip of water and said to Cheng Lingfeng, "You can take someone with you. Three movies have been nominated, and we must sell this face."

The whole world knows that Cheng Yu'an has a bad relationship with the Golden Rooster Awards, and Cheng Yu'an will not praise the Golden Rooster's bad feet. Among the three Chinese-language Golden Rooster Awards, so far he has won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

Calculated this way, Cheng Yu'an actually doesn't have many awards.
