The post-production is at its final stages, and we can basically consider the release schedule.

I definitely can’t make it in time for the summer season.

However, we can make it in time for National Day.

After Fang Xing held a meeting and discussed it, he finally decided to put "The Wandering Earth 2" on the Spring Festival schedule.

At first, Qiao Yinghong suggested putting it on the National Day schedule.

Because the second animated film of "Bear Bears" has been scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, and one film will be produced every year, making it a regular program.

If "The Wandering Earth 2" is also released during the Spring Festival, it will be a competition between two of our own works.

Although the two movies are of different genres, they still squeeze each other when they compete to schedule them.

Therefore, by releasing them in different schedules, the film schedule can be more relaxed.

However, Fang Xing ultimately felt that "The Wandering Earth 2" would be more suitable to be placed on the Spring Festival schedule, even if it is squeezed into the same schedule as "Bear Bears".

It has been initially determined that it will enter the Spring Festival stalls, and the next step is to talk about the distribution company.

When the first animated film "Bear Bears" was released, Fang Xing had already tied the distribution of "The Wandering Earth 2" to Penguin Pictures.

However, the distribution contract for "The Wandering Earth 2" has not yet been signed.

The contract for "Bear Bears" gave priority to "The Wandering Earth 2" to Penguin Pictures.

It's okay if Fang Xing regrets it now, but he has to pay liquidated damages.

This is how business cooperation has always been, although the first part of "Bear Bears" and "The Wandering Earth 2" were bundled and signed to Penguin Pictures.

However, if Penguin Pictures does not work hard during the release, Fang Xing also has the right to regret it, and of course he will need to pay liquidated damages for this.

Of course, if there are no special circumstances, it would definitely be better to continue cooperation.

After all, Fang Xing and Zhang Changfeng had a pretty good relationship.

Of course, friendship is friendship and business is business.

When officially signing the distribution contract for "The Wandering Earth 2", the conditions for the change still need to be negotiated.

Especially on the first day of filming.

In the film industry, there are many classics in film history that have been overlooked in film schedules.

Theater movies and online video platforms are different.

On video platforms, as long as viewers are willing to click on it, there will be views.

However, theatrical movies need to be shown in cinemas in order to have box office.

The highest box office period for a movie is often a few days before its release.

The first day's release is low, and even if it can counterattack in the future, the box office will definitely not be as good as a movie of the same quality with a high first day release.

Fang Xing has always been very domineering in striving for film placement.

"Mr. Zhang, you know my style, 30% arrangement." Fang Xing almost scared Zhang Changfeng away as soon as he opened his mouth.

If it had been another movie, Zhang Changfeng might have been scared away.

During the Spring Festival, 30% of the film schedule is required. Those who don’t know this might think they are just an outsider.

If it is a summer release or a National Day release, 30% of the film schedule can be achieved.

After all, there are not as many popular movies released during these two periods as there are during the Spring Festival period.

For a movie released during the Spring Festival, if it can reach 20% of the first-day screenings, it is considered a big hit.

If the film schedule on the first day can reach more than 25%, it will definitely be a S-scale production that wastes money and resources.

In fact.

"The Wandering Earth 2" filmed by Fang Xing indeed meets the standards of S major production.

It is claimed that the investment is 700 million.

Among them, 100 million is counted as investment in Nebula special effects.

Zhang Changfeng sighed and said: "Brother Fang, you do this kind of embarrassing thing every time. Let me tell you the truth. On the first day of the Spring Festival schedule, the contract can only write 22%. I promised verbally.

You try your best to get 24%, this is already the limit."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "This is not the limit. You have other ideas."

Zhang Changfeng also confessed: "I won't hide it from you, Penguin Pictures also wants the second part of "Bear Bears"."

The first animated theatrical version of "Bear Bears" was released by Penguin Pictures, and it signed a box office of 600 million yuan.

Now the second part of "Bear Bears" is already in production.

Although compared with "The Wandering Earth 2", the second part of "Bear Bears" is definitely not a big hit, but it still has a box office of hundreds of millions. How could Penguin Pictures let it go?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, what Zhang Changfeng means is to spare some time for "Bear Bears".

Fang Xing made his attitude clear: "I have decided to sign "Bear Bears" to another distribution company. If "The Wandering Earth 2" is to be released, it must be the highest-ranked film. There is no other possibility."

Zhang Changfeng frowned: "Can't you give both movies to Penguin Pictures?"

Fang Xing spread his hands and said: "I have to guarantee the schedule of both movies. I can take a step back to 28% for "The Wandering Earth 2" and 10% for "The Infested Bears". These two figures will not be reduced. If Mr. Zhang can afford it,

It’s no problem for me either.”

As soon as Zhang Changfeng heard this number, he knew it was impossible.

The total number of films scheduled for the two movies is 38%. Even if Penguin Pictures sells everything, it cannot guarantee such a high proportion of films.

Zhang Changfeng frowned and asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Fang Xing affirmed: "There is no room for negotiation. Mr. Zhang can choose one of the two."

It is said that it is a choice between two, but in fact it is not a choice.

Moreover, even if Penguin Pictures only releases "The Wandering Earth 2", it will not be easy to get 28% of the film schedule.

"Brother Fang always puts me in such a difficult position." Zhang Changfeng really didn't know how to comment.

"But, I have never let Mr. Zhang suffer." Fang Xing said with a smile.

This is indeed true.

Every time Fang Xing negotiates a distribution contract, the film schedule required is ridiculously high, but every time the box office results are worthy of the film schedule.

Moreover, every time you sign a gambling contract.

It can be said that Zhang Changfeng does not need to take any risks when the two are working together.

This is also why Zhang Changfeng likes to cooperate with Fang Xing.

Who would say no to a good thing like making money without taking too much risk?

After Zhang Changfeng thought deeply, he said: "Let's do it this way. When the contract is signed, 25% of the filming will be scheduled, and I will verbally promise to strive for 27%. A higher scheduling is really impossible. You also know the Spring Festival schedule."

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Changfeng did not dare to sign for 25% of the film schedule.

This film schedule is really very difficult for the Spring Festival schedule.

Currently, the Spring Festival blockbuster that has received the highest first-day schedule of 26% is the special effects blockbuster "Land of Monsters" with an investment of 700 million in the past few years.

It can be seen how tense the first day of filming during the Spring Festival is.
