At the beginning of August, various unit dramas were announced one after another, and "Together" completed all the filming work.But that's not all, there are some post-production issues that need to be dealt with.Big Scissors felt that the length of each episode was about forty-five minutes, but Li He felt that forty-five minutes of an episode was too short to tell a story, so it was recommended that it should be more than an hour.Big Scissors disagrees, because it takes too long and will affect the plan to broadcast on satellite TV.Many times watching TV series is short and weak, and it shouldn't just let the crew take the blame, it's more of a problem with the TV station.For example, the notorious Mango TV is such a representative, as a local station that can wrestle with Yang Ma, Mango TV has brought the fine tradition of TV station intervention in TV dramas to the extreme.The most obvious example is the costume drama "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", which has changed beyond recognition under the editing of Mango Channel.On average, an episode is about thirty-five minutes long, and the effective content of an episode is less than twenty-eight minutes.The ancient limit order of Big Scissors stipulates the number of costume dramas to be broadcast each year, and the length of "Know" is 78 episodes, which accounts for most of it at once, disgusting the audience and hitting the opponent.Although Li He is the chief director of the project "Together", and he was personally invited by Da Scissors to come over.But the right to speak in the project is that Li He is not as big as Big Scissors, and the final editing power is in the hands of Big Scissors, or the final editing power of every drama and every movie is in the hands of Big Scissors.Li He and Big Scissors had a few meetings, since the TV version can't get the editing rights, then the online version can always be, right?
After several considerations, Big Scissors finally agreed to Li He's plan, and Big Scissors edited the TV version, and Li He was responsible for the online version.To be able to achieve this result, Li He is already quite satisfied, and the big scissors are not humanly able to compete.The time of the online drama version has been relaxed a lot, and Li He and his editing team and other directors have completed the editing of "Together", and the finished film looks a bit like an American drama.The later stage of this drama is also very powerful, a few special effects are in charge of Industrial Light and Magic, and the soundtrack "Rescuer" is handed over to Li He's old buddy Wang Hansi.After working with Hans Zimmer, a world-class soundtrack master, Wang Hansi is already very capable enough to complete this job.The other units have mature teams, and Li He only needs to be responsible for the final checks.At the end of August, the full production of "Together" was completed, and only the final broadcast date was waiting.At this time, there was good news from above, the epidemic situation in various places basically stabilized, and movie theaters opened in early September.The news is good news, but because it is not yet known whether the epidemic will return, many publishers are waiting and waiting.Warner Pictures couldn't wait, and Jaanna Cruz, president of Greater China, came to the door."
Lee, now that the situation is basically stable, we hope to see this movie in theaters as soon as possible."
Jaanna Cruz gets straight to the point.Li He has long had this intention, but firstly, September is an off-season, and secondly, it is the impact of the epidemic, whether the audience dares to go to the cinema to watch movies with confidence.In September of the previous life, Christopher Nolan's masterpiece "Creed" landed in theaters, and the film hit the streets.In addition to the obscurity of the film, another important reason is that due to the impact of the epidemic in September, no one went to the cinema to watch movies."
Ms.
Cruz, I understand your urgency, but now that the theaters are still limited and the audience is small, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve results in such a hasty release."
Li He said he was against it."
Of course I understand your concerns, in fact, I know a piece of news, there are many blockbusters waiting for the September schedule, including the "Eight Hundred" you mentioned last time.""
Oh?
How did I not know?
”Li He said that the news was not as well-informed as the crooked fruit, and he was a little puzzled.Moreover, "Eight Hundred" was released during the National Day schedule in its previous life, and it was also the first box office hit during the epidemic, and it was called a work of saving the city by insiders.It was also this year that the Huaxia market officially surpassed North America and became the world's largest box office market."
You're not well-informed, you should inquire about it."
Jaanna Cruze laughed.Li He nodded and said: "I still think it is the most suitable for the National Day schedule, and I don't have to compete with "Eight Hundred". ”"But Warner's money needs to be recouped urgently......
Jaanna said.At this moment, the situation in the catering industry is gradually improving, after all, eating is a must for people, but watching movies is not.So what many film companies often say lately is, it's good to survive.The situation of big film companies is also not easy, especially the Hollywood giant companies that have made many commercial blockbusters, and a large amount of money cannot be recovered, which has put them under huge financial pressure.In this case, Warner chose a strong man to break his wrist and push out "Inception", which is not produced by his descendant, to test the waters, of course Li He will not agree.Fortunately, although the film is controlled by Warner, Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures are enough to compete with Warner Pictures.And these two film companies have always supported Li He, and they also believe that the National Day schedule is the most suitable release date.Warner Pictures asked for a release several times, but was refused, and was a little annoyed, but there was nothing it could do.I knew that Li He should have been kicked out of this project directly, so that there would be no annoying Chinese actors, and it would be released as planned.Li Heke doesn't care what Warner Pictures thinks, if it doesn't work, just change it!
The battle for Fox in the twentieth century has been tilted in favor of the Penguin Group and the Qingfeng Group, and with a few more rounds of negotiations, Fox can be taken.With its own global distribution channels, who cares about Warner Pictures?
On September 5th, the long-dormant film market finally had a hint of vitality, and "Eight Hundred" directed by Guan Hu was released, ushering in a hot climax."
Eight Hundred" achieved a good box office in the screening stage, exceeding 50 million in three days, and the film has accumulated 160 million box office before it is officially released.The midnight show "Eight Hundred" earned 55.4069 million, which was the highest midnight box office in the war film genre.Perhaps because the epidemic is no longer serious, but also because of the excellent mouth reception in the screening stage of "Eight Hundred", the film achieved a box office of 141 million on the first day.Although it doesn't look high, this is the highest-grossing film on the first day of the epidemic.The media also praised it, calling the film a rescue for the film market.Netizens also gave good reviews, believing that this movie set a good example for war films.However, the box office journey of "Eight Hundred" is far more than that, following the first day, "Eight Hundred" took another 206 million box office on the second day and 3.1 billion on the third day.Coupled with other shows, the box office of 639 million in the first week is enough to satisfy the producers.At this time, Li He's new film "Inception" released a special edition trailer and announced the release date.During the National Day schedule, "Inception" officially landed in theaters, bringing you an audio-visual feast.
