Chapter 357 Shameless, He Actually Lied to Us!

Chen Xiao put down the phone.

Today is the 26th.

Chinese New Year is on February 1st.

I will take a break in the next few days and have a dinner with friends at noon today.

Chazelle is back from travel.

Because there are many children on the "Harry Potter" crew, they have a holiday during the New Year, allowing the Chinese children to go home to prepare for the New Year, and the foreign children to go home or have a good rest. So Wang Rui, Sun Li and other very familiar directors will also come over at noon.

On January 29th, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" was released. I went to watch a movie with my friends. Although I know the plot, the scenes feel a bit fresh.

Years ago, if I went to take a look at the preparations for "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea", I guess there would be no problems.

During the Chinese New Year, it would be great to take your parents to a resort in Shanghai. The traditional cultural area will definitely be particularly lively. It's winter, so if you wrap it up in a rice dumpling, no one will recognize it.

Years later, he first worked in the company to interpret the script for the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

I will go to Guangdong Province around February 20th to cast for "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea".

That's it for the next month.

Chen Xiao yawned, lifted the quilt, stepped on his slippers, and went downstairs to find food.

As I approached the first floor, I saw my father sitting on the sofa holding a tablet, seemingly reading the news.

"Dad, aren't you here to fish?"

Chen Mingfu stretched out his legs and pointed outside, "It's snowing."

Chen Xiao walked down the stairs and looked out through the hall glass.

The goose-feather heavy snow falls one after another, covering the pavilions, rockeries, winding corridors and small ponds, adding a layer of silver to the yard.

It's so beautiful. I didn't open the gauze curtain in the bedroom just now, so I didn't notice it was snowing so heavily.

After walking a few steps forward, he saw Huo Yun and Xiao Kui lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with their heads raised, as if they were also admiring the snow scenery.

It feels so peaceful...

Snap! Before he could finish his emotion, Huo Yun raised his paw and punched Xiao Kui. The two cats instantly became entangled.

Chen Xiao sighed silently and walked towards the restaurant.

Just after taking two steps, Chen Mingfu's voice came from beside him.

"Son, please wait a minute and come over and take a look. Doesn't this film have a similar theme to your film "The Grand Budapest Hotel"?"

Chen Xiao turned around and saw his father lifting the tablet and handing it to him.

He walked over and took the tablet and took a look.

On the screen was a trailer for a new movie, released half a month ago.

It is said that Pinnacle Entertainment's "Redemption" will be released on February 15th. It tells the story of a doctor who saves his comrades on the battlefield.

"Well, it's not a collision." Chen Xiao returned the tablet to his father, "The Grand Budapest Hotel talks about war in a relatively obscure way, and focuses more on the rise and fall of culture. Their film directly tells the story of the battlefield."

Chen Mingfu took the tablet and sighed: "Then they are lucky. Your trailer is beautiful, and with the fame of you and Chazelle, it must be very popular. After watching a movie that vaguely mentions war, you might want to watch it directly. War. They sleep with pillows."

"Probably." Chen Xiao stretched and continued walking towards the restaurant.

They are indeed lucky.

In the past, Youyue Entertainment clashed with him in terms of themes and core content. He shoots science fiction themes about the deep love between father and daughter, and Youyue shoots family themes, also about the deep love between father and daughter.

But this time, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" reflects the two wars many times, but it is very subtle, and the focus is also on the impact of war on civilization and culture.

It won't impact war movies. On the contrary, it may make the audience want to watch a more straightforward war movie.

I just don’t know how well they filmed it.

Just let it happen.

Anyway, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is released first, so it won't affect the revenue of "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

With this thought in mind, Chen Xiao walked into the restaurant.

In the living room, Chen Mingfu sat on the sofa and yawned.

Three days ago, after watching the second trailer of "The Grand Budapest Hotel", which combined factors such as gun battles, soldiers, and killers, he thought that this could be considered a spy movie, with a large length and straightforward story about war.

He was ready to eat the spoils of "Redemption in Fire" at the company.

Now it seems that the box office of "Redemption" will not plummet.

Alas, the melon is gone.

…

"John, we successfully postponed it!"

Ethan, deputy director of the production department and producer of "Redemption," sat on the sofa with a smile on his face.

He originally thought that the delay would require considerable compensation to the partner theater chain, Galaxy Pictures.

Unexpectedly, Chazelle handed over "The Grand Budapest Hotel" to the third largest theater chain, Seaney Company, for release. In addition, Seaney Company had previously cooperated with Oriental Media to release "The Truman Show", which aroused dissatisfaction from Galaxy Pictures. We will further strengthen our cooperation with Summit Entertainment.

At the same time, there were cartoons and love stories that wanted to increase their film schedules. Galaxy Pictures would not suffer much loss, so they lowered their liquidated damages.

The loss is reduced by 15%, which is very good.

"This is definitely a good idea." John on the other side of the phone said in a brisk tone, "Believe me, based on my research on Chen Xiao and the others, the extension is absolutely correct, and you will definitely not regret it!"

Ethan echoed: "I also think that just look at "The Truman Show" back then. Although it is an art film, its box office harvest cannot be underestimated."

John on the opposite side sneered: "I'm telling you, Chen Xiao doesn't tell lies on the surface, but you absolutely can't interpret it based on the surface meaning. The safest way is to avoid the release time of his movie."

Ethan nodded and snorted coldly: "I think Chen Xiao is pretty good. Cha Zelle is a fucking human being."

"Hmm? What did Chazelle do to you?"

"We set the release date in late December, and The Grand Budapest Hotel was announced in early January. I saw that trailer was quite cheerful, and it seemed to be a suspense comedy. But I was still cautious, worried that the subject matter would conflict, so I contacted him immediately. He sounded indifferent."

"Oh, he has a bad attitude towards most people, which is normal."

"I know, I asked him if our story conflicts with The Grand Budapest Hotel, and if it would be better to change the time. He said no, it's none of my business whether to change or not, and hung up the phone. Look at it, now it seems that he lied, right?"

The second version of the trailer released three days ago, with gunfights, soldiers, tanks, and killers, must be a spy war film! At least there is a lot of space for describing the war.

Obviously, they want to trick them, so that they will realize that they have to change the release date when the release is approaching, and pay a heavy price.

Fortunately, the crew reacted quickly, held a meeting, and contacted Galaxy Cinemas to postpone the release time.

John on the other side sighed and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that such a proud person like him would lie to us."

"Really? How shameless! Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. The news will be released soon. I'm going to get busy."

"Go ahead. Bye."
