Disaster Artist

Deep down, Qu Yushi was not willing to "point the screen".

Qu Yushi understands all the truth, but no matter how nicely said it is, choosing to point the screen is a kind of retreat, a kind of bowing, admitting that he can't face off head-to-head; according to his character, he still wants to confront "Boss Speeding" head-on. , a decisive battle to the death, even if it is lost, it will be vigorous.

However, Qu Yushi also knew that releasing a movie was not a child's play, and that it was foolish and reckless to act on one's mind. It was obvious that Liuguang Pictures put them on the fire, and then they bumped into it stupidly. This is not blood, but stupidity - and He has already passed the age of second year.

Therefore, Qu Yushi still gave the plan of "pointing the screen", but he was still too aggrieved in the depths of his heart.

Until today.

Qu Yushi realized that the original point of reflection is not necessarily to avoid its edge, but also to open up a new battlefield.

If Lu Qian's strategy can be successful, then Blue Whale Pictures can open up another situation for "raid". It does not need to compete on the same level as "Boss Overdrive", but rises to the height of the retro action movie genre. The whole industry has brought a ray of breeze, and the whole pattern has been completely different.

The most important thing is that in this way, the "praise and kill" of the streamer film industry can be eliminated, but it will further arouse the audience's expectations for the "raid".

Of course, such a strategy is not without risks, because the "raid" may have to carry the banner of the revival of genre films, and expectations will also rise steadily. Once the quality of the finished film is lower than expected, it will also bear the reaction force. Negative impact.

"No wonder retro action movies are dead."

"Just this quality?"

"Bragging cows also need to weigh their own weight."

and so on.

But on the whole, because retro action movies have been silent for too long, the audience will inevitably be more tolerant, and the expectation should be adjusted to 60 points. As long as they "can watch" and "pass", they are willing to send applause, and then Expect "The Raid" to be the beginning of a genre renaissance.

For "The Raid", such pressure is the weight that the film should bear.

Qu Yushi expressed his sincere admiration, tsk tsk admirably conveyed the turbulent emotions, and expressed a strong admiration for Lu Qian's whimsy, completely forgetting the usual attitude of keeping a distance when talking about Lu Qian.

Xiu Zhongjun could feel the gurgling sound in the conference room, but after a brief exclamation, his thoughts extended further.

"Director, maybe we can make good use of this retrospective to regain the initiative to negotiate with the theater."

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

"The old trick is repeated."

Xiu Zhongjun gave a simple but unexpected answer.

Just half a year ago, "Unfriending" once experienced such a situation. Starting from the dome theater, it conducted a small-scale screening beyond the theater, and then attracted the attention of other large theaters because of the amazing box office numbers, and then in the theater. Full release worldwide.

Now "raid" can do the same.

In Xiu Zhongjun's view, they can cooperate with Chaotuo Cinema to launch the entire retro action film retrospective on a global scale. The list of retrospective films is all selected by Lu Qian, and then the two sides find the most suitable cinema for each city. Step by step Propaganda step by step.

It just so happens that the concept and setting of the retrospective can also perfectly fit the image of the detached theater, and with Nong Chenjie as a bridge, the sincerity of the cooperation between the two parties is enough, even if the detached theater needs to sacrifice some time for showing new movies, but each city only chooses One or two cinemas is perfectly acceptable.

As for other theater chains, they are hanging on Blue Whale Films, and Blue Whale Films is also hanging on them.

When the retrospective is fully laid out, and then the "raid" is released, and the box office achieves excellent results, the balance of supply and demand will be broken again.

Moreover, if the box office of the two films "Unfriend" and "Raid" have exploded in succession, Blue Whale Pictures can also gain more advantages in the negotiations.

But what if "The Raid" fails at the box office?

In fact, it doesn't matter. Anyway, when Lu Qian acquired Qiaoshui Pictures, the entire distribution channel and theater contract were packaged and acquired together. They just need to continue to negotiate the details, but don't worry that the theater will tear up the contract and refuse. Release Blue Whale Films films.

That said, there is always wiggle room.

Lu Qian's plan can not only allow the "raid" to regain the initiative, but also allow Blue Whale Pictures to regain the initiative, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

After Xiu Zhongjun explained all his thoughts and ideas, Lu Qian didn't express any opinion, just pondered.

"Well. Then I'll leave it to you."

This trust, conveyed invisibly, was heavily pressed on Xiu Zhongjun's shoulders, and even Qu Yushi was excited for Xiu Zhongjun.

What they were worried about did not happen. The two bosses did not install direct lineage in the company, nor did they question or make it difficult for Xiu Zhongjun's work. Not only did they not, but the trust and support they showed in all directions made the company go up and down quickly. operate normally.

Before they knew it, they also began to get used to the atmosphere of the new company.

But soon, the first test will come—

"Assault".

In fact, the reason why the company including Xiu Zhongjun and Qu Yushi was so nervous and anxious was because of this movie.

In any case, Bridgewater Pictures became history because its earnings were lower than expected, making it unsustainable; and Lu Qian’s first work after the acquisition of the company chose such a unique theme, coupled with the sniping behind the streamer’s film industry. , it casts a shadow over the prospect of the movie——

What if the "raid" fails again?

I am afraid that the anxiety and panic of Blue Whale Films during this period will be further magnified. Without the need for Ji Xu and Lu Qian to lay off staff, some people should take the initiative to resign, and the atmosphere of internal turmoil and chaos in the company will spread, and the future will also be into chaos.

call……

After Lu Qian hung up the phone, Xiu Zhongjun let out a long sigh in his heart, and it was difficult to describe exactly how he felt at this moment.

Then, Xiu Zhongjun saw Qu Yushi lying on the conference table without image~www.novelmt.com~, like a melting goblin slowly sliding down.

"Cough cough." Xiu Zhongjun coughed twice, reminding Qu Yu to pay attention to his image, there were other people in the conference room.

But Qu Yushi didn't care at all, he waved his right hand weakly, "Let me take a breath, the pressure is too much, it's the same every time I talk to the director."

Someone next to him jokingly complained, "But weren't you so positive and excited just now?"

Qu Yushi had a sad face, "It's because the director is so powerful that I'm even more afraid."

Xiu Zhongjun held his right hand and knocked on the table, "Be careful, the director may not have hung up."

ho!

Qu Yushi stood up immediately, looking at Xiu Zhongjun in disbelief with a ghostly expression on his face.

Xiu Zhongjun said solemnly, "I just remind you that there is still a possibility."

"Ah..." Only then did Qu Yushi realize that he had been fooled. As soon as his knees softened, he disappeared from sight.
