Chapter 653 National Day, a terrible opponent(2/2)
It can be said that this movie brings together ceiling-level directors, ceiling-level powerful actors, and ceiling-level top actors.
With so many creative teams coming together, this movie is destined to hit the box office.
And the latest news.
The producers, Zhensheng Media and Shengqi Entertainment, have confirmed that "The Rules of Hunting" will be released on the National Day schedule.
This means.
If "Infernal Affairs" is also released on the National Day schedule, it will collide head-on with "The Law of the Hunt".
He bumped into Ke Zhensheng, one of the three major film directors, he bumped into the best actor Li Xuecheng, the king of police movies, and he also bumped into "the youngest billionaire".
One can imagine how great the competitive pressure is.
For this reason, Zhang Changfeng had to confirm again and again: "Brother Fang, "The Law of Hunting Crime" has been confirmed to be included in the National Day release. Are you sure you want to join it in the National Day release?"
In fact.
When Ark Culture held a meeting to discuss the release schedule, "The Rules of Hunting" had not yet determined its release date.
Zhensheng Media and Shengqi Entertainment just announced the National Day release of "The Law of the Hunt" a few days ago.
The release date of "Infernal Affairs" has not yet been officially announced.
In other words, it is still too late to change the release schedule of "Infernal Affairs" without any loss.
Because the promotion hasn't started yet, the audience won't think it's a skip.
only.
However, Fang Xing was very confident: "The schedule has been determined, and it will be released on the National Day schedule. There will be no change."
As for whether to change the schedule, Qiao Yinghong has actually asked Fang to remind her.
The day before yesterday, when "The Law of the Hunt" was officially announced to be released on National Day, Qiao Yinghong was a little nervous.
Because the movie "Principal of the Hunt" has such a terrible lineup, it will blow up the movie no matter what time it is released.
Qiao Yinghong also suggested that "Infernal Affairs" be moved to the Spring Festival schedule.
only.
If the schedule of "Infernal Affairs" is changed, then the schedule of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" will also be changed.
Not to mention the trouble, the effect may not be good.
After all, there will only be more and more powerful movies released during the Spring Festival than during the National Day holiday.
From a certain point of view, the reason why "The Rules of Hunting" is put on the National Day schedule is actually to use up the National Day schedule.
If a strong enough movie enters the Spring Festival period, there will be too many competitors, the number of films available will be limited, and the box office may not be very high.
Moreover, the Spring Festival schedule and the summer schedule are the time when children and students have winter and summer vacations. These two schedules are more suitable for family-friendly movies.
Police and gangster movies are not family-friendly movies, so there is no advantage in squeezing them into the Spring Festival slot. In fact, the competition becomes even fiercer.
The National Day holiday is different.
Relatively speaking, the competition in the National Day stalls is smaller.
A movie with a terrifying lineup like "The Law of the Hunt" has a chance to eat up more than half of the box office during the National Day period if it enters the National Day period.
Zhensheng Media and Shengqi Entertainment thought the same way, so they directly announced the National Day release.
Now, the problem falls on Ark Culture.
For others, it may be a problem, but when they wake up and say, it means being fearless.
Since it's the same theme, let's have a head-on fight, and whoever wins gets the box office.
Therefore, Fang Xing was very firm and insisted on entering the National Day schedule.
Zhang Changfeng saw that Fang Xing was so determined. Although he was a little worried, he did not continue to dissuade him: "Okay, in that case, let's talk about the distribution contract."
He paused and said proactively: "I understand Brother Fang's style of doing things, and I'm not hiding it. 24% of the guaranteed film schedule, no other conditions attached. The publicity and distribution funds will be advanced by Penguin Pictures, and all local promotions are guaranteed to be covered."
Third-tier cities and above and some fourth-tier cities are covered.”
Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Is the film schedule only 24%?"
Zhang Changfeng quickly added: "24% is a guarantee, and I can guarantee that I will get it, but this is not the final film arrangement. Don't worry, I will communicate with the theater companies to strive for more film arrangements when it is about to be released.
"Since Brother Fang's last movie did very well, I predict that the number of films scheduled on the first day should be close to 30%."
The 30% film schedule is indeed a lot, but Zhang Changfeng said it is close to 30%, which means that there is a high probability that it will not reach 30%.
Zhang Changfeng also directly revealed: "According to my estimates, the proportion of film schedules should reach 28%. It will be very difficult to strive for more."
The leading cast of "Crazy Stone" is so little known, yet they even got 24% of the film schedule.
Now, with two best actors in "Infernal Affairs", a movie queen joining the cast, and the confidence of "Crazy Stone" with a box office of 2.4 billion, they can only get 28% of the box office.
Fang Xing was still a little dissatisfied: "Only 28%?"
Zhang Changfeng spread his hands helplessly and replied: "There is no way. Ke Zhensheng's "The Rules of Hunting" and Bluebird Media's "Liao Zhai" series are both popular movies. Plus "Infernal Affairs". The three movies can be divided equally.
30% per household.
"In "Criminal Hunting Law", two companies, Zhensheng Media and Shengqi Entertainment, are competing with theaters to schedule films, and the theaters will definitely give more.
"Actually, if "The Law of the Hunt" does not enter the National Day schedule, I am confident that it will get more than 35% of the film schedule, but the current film schedule is very tight.
"I can only beat my head and promise you that I will get 28% of the film schedule, but I will give enough in terms of promotion and distribution, and I will ensure that I promote it and cover the first and second tier cities with large-screen advertisements."
Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and asked, "The film schedule is guaranteed to be 28%, do you dare to write it into the contract?"
