Beijing.

A courtyard house.

After having breakfast, Sun Daohao paced back and forth in the living room, stroking his chin, thinking about the next work.

"Dark Forest" has been completed and the post-editing work is about to begin.

This movie is a science fiction masterpiece, and a large part of it relies on special effects.

Therefore, post-processing work is very important.

It can be said that a very important reason for the success of a movie is whether the special effects can be accepted and shocked by the audience.

Domestic movies have always been criticized by audiences in this regard.

Sun Daohao hopes that through his movies, the audience will discover that domestic special effects production capabilities are not bad.

Sun Daohao picked up the mobile phone on the dining table and dialed the number of the head of the editing department: "Lao Zhang, please inform everyone that the editor and special effects artist will be notified. I will go to the company later. You first make an appointment in a conference room for a meeting.

Let’s discuss the later matters.”

"Okay, Director Sun, I'll make arrangements immediately."

Sun Daohao rubbed his eyes, there was still a lot of work to do next.

"Ding dong"

At this time, an entertainment news item popped up on Weibo on the mobile phone.

"Can Tan Yue's new movie "Kung Fu" bring back the glory of martial arts action movies again?"

During this period, Sun Daohao read a lot of news reports about "Kung Fu".

Having been a director for decades, Sun Daohao has also witnessed the glory and decline of martial arts action movies.

At this time, a martial arts action movie was released, and Sun Daohao still admired Tan Yue's courage.

It’s just that Sun Daohao couldn’t figure out why Tan Yue chose to make this type of movie?

Many director friends around him, even those who started their careers in martial arts action films, are no longer willing to make films.

As many viewers have said, it’s no longer possible to photograph what it was like back then.

However, Sun Daohao still has a little bit of expectation in his heart.

Judging from the information obtained from many sources, Tan Yue is not that kind of reckless person.

Maybe "Kung Fu" can really bring a different feeling?

During the filming of "In the Dark".

Sun Daohao learned that Tan Yue had a new movie to start filming, and he was vaguely looking forward to it being released at the same time as Tan Yue's movie, adding some challenges and excitement.

After all, the Chinese film and television box office record that I had held for many years was broken by Tan Yue.

But now it seems that it is impossible to release them at the same time.

The main focus of "Dark Forest" is in the later stage.

Son Do-ho predicts that even if he rushes for time every day and continues to speed up post-production, the film will only be released by the end of the year at the earliest.

There is really too much work to be done in the post-production of science fiction movies.

And "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action film, so the post-editing work can be completed very quickly.

Tan Yueneng announced the launch of a new movie not long after "The King of Comedy" ended, so the release date is unlikely to be delayed until the end of the year.

Sun Daohao couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Nowadays, there are not many directors in China who can put pressure on him. Tan Yue is one of them, and he is the only one among the younger generation of directors.

At their age, they will not make movies easily.

Some scripts can take three to five years to prepare, and it can take even longer for a movie to be released.

I can’t compare myself with Tan Yue on the same stage this time. I don’t know when the next time will be.

It's a pity that although they can't be released at the same time, they can still be studied carefully.

Sun Daohao has already decided that while waiting for the release of "Kung Fu", no matter how busy he is, he will spare two or three hours to go to the cinema to watch this movie.

The quality of Tan Yue's new movies will be revealed by then.

Sun Daohao returned to the bedroom and began to change clothes and prepare to go to the company.

If "Dark Forest" wants to break out of the entertainment industry, it must achieve top-notch special effects.

These are the problems he has to face, and they are not easy.

United States, California.

Baofeng Entertainment Company.

CEO's office.

The great director Janis asked slightly excitedly: (This chapter is not over yet!)

Chapter 758: Blockbuster is coming, the dragon is crossing the river

"Is there any news from China?"

Sitting opposite him was Robinson, the president of Baofeng Entertainment.

He took out two wine glasses, opened a bottle of red wine, poured the wine and said: "We have reached an agreement with major theaters in China, and "Straight to the Sky" will be released on May 1st."

Hearing this sentence, Janis slapped his thigh excitedly. He is the director of this movie.

"Up to the Sky" is a war movie.

It mainly tells the story that happened during World War II.

Jesse is a famous American war-themed director.

But the cost alone for any movie he directs is a sky-high figure.

Of course, the results are also very good.

This time "Up to the Sky" was able to enter the Chinese film market, all thanks to the company's strong support.

Robinson picked up the wine glass and the two of them clinked it: "If we can enter the Chinese film market, we can foresee that the box office of our films will increase a lot."

When saying this, Robinson was particularly confident.

First of all, China’s film market is huge, and it can be said to be one of the largest film markets in the world.

For many movies, the revenue from just one country can account for half of the global box office.

On the other hand, American movies are very popular in the Chinese market.

Some movies that have failed at the domestic box office will do surprisingly well at the box office when they come to China.

Jesses said with a smile: "My goal is to crush all Chinese movies."

Jesses is already imagining the huge profits made by "Straight to the Sky" and the comments of the group of Chinese people who worshiped him online.

He is very confident in his movie. The war scenes are extremely grand and the visual effects are very impactful.

The two of them clinked their glasses in a happy mood.

...

...

As soon as we entered April, the film market suddenly became lively.

Cuican Entertainment announced on its official blog that "Kung Fu" will be released in May.

At the same time, "Straight to the Sky" has also been announced to be released on May Day.

Unlike Cuican Entertainment, Baofeng Entertainment directly contacted major Chinese media to announce the matter and launch a large-scale publicity.

""Star Entertainment": Jesse Jesse, the famous American war film director, will meet the audience on May Day with "To the Sky"."

"Entertainment Express: The American war blockbuster "Right to the Sky" is scheduled to be released on May Day."

"Weekly Movie News": According to the latest news, "Up to the Sky" will be released in major theaters on May 1st. Audiences who like war-themed movies can look forward to it."

""Southern Entertainment": "Straight to the Sky" produced by Baofeng Entertainment and directed by Janis will be released on May Day."

With such a large-scale publicity, "Straight to the Sky" quickly became the top trending search topic on Weibo.

"It's such a surprise. This director's war movie is very exciting. I didn't expect his movie to be released in China this year. I must go and support it when the time comes."

"I finally have a good movie this May Day, so happy!"

...

...

The promotion focus of "Kung Fu" is in late April, and the news of the scheduled release was only promoted on the official blog.

But it's enough for many fans.

This news on the official blog of Bright Entertainment Company also quickly became a hot search topic.

Seeing the news that "Kung Fu" and "Up to the Sky" were announced at the same time, many people began to worry about "Kung Fu".

"Kung Fu" was not optimistic to begin with, but now it has the impact of another American blockbuster.

The box office performance may then be very unsatisfactory.

After all, American movies have always had the potential to cross the river and become a dragon in the domestic market.
