After the tribe promoted it in the form of a preview.
Lin Yuan contacted Lao Zhou to inquire about the release of the movie.
"Should be next month."
Lao Zhou said: "The specific date will be determined after the company holds the film screening, but there is one thing I want to tell you. Next month, more than one superhero movie will be released."
"Who else?"
Lin Yuan saw someone saying the same thing in the comment section of his blog, so he must be a formidable opponent.
"Long Yang!"
Lao Zhou said the name.
Lin Yuan was stunned. Is this name serious
Seems like he's serious.
Because when Lao Zhou mentioned this name, his expression was quite serious: "Long Yang is the same as you. He follows the core screenwriter system. He is a powerful character. The name of his movie this time is "The Legend of the Dragon Man". The investment is close to 300 million yuan. The male lead he chose is a first-line actor Jiang Meng. You should have discovered the problem - their investment is higher than ours, and the male lead they chose is a first-line actor, while our male lead is a newcomer."
Lin Yuan nodded.
In fact, he really didn't intend to save money this time.
This movie, which mainly tells the origin of Spider-Man, does not require a huge investment.
Most of the special effects shots in the front actually focus on Spider-Man shuttling between the tall buildings in the city and beating up some gangsters.
Spider-Man’s characteristic is that he is a civilian hero.
As for the question of the male lead Jian Yi being a newcomer...
Lin Yuan originally used this movie to promote Jian Yi.
Because Lin Yuan thinks Spider-Man mostly wears a mask when he's trying to be cool, so who plays the role isn't really the point. There have been so many versions of the male lead Spider-Man on Earth, and there hasn't been much resistance from the audience.
“This is actually quite normal.”
Lao Zhou sighed, "Qin Qi Chu Yan is too big. Basically, there will be overlapping movie types in every schedule. Superhero movies have a starting cost of 100 million yuan, so the frequency of overlapping themes is already very low, but occasionally there will be such a collision."
Lin Yuan nodded again.
Lao Zhou suddenly changed the subject and said, "But we don't have to worry too much about our competitors. At least as a screenwriter, you have a lot of fans. Plus, your reputation in the film industry has always been top-notch. I believe there will still be audiences willing to buy into your films. We don't have to think about defeating our competitors. Isn't everyone making superhero movies to make money?"
Lao Zhou’s idea is very simple.
There's no need to compare box office or anything like that.
As long as the movie makes money, that's fine.
Combined with the popularity of Lanling King unveiling his mask and transforming into Xianyu in "King of Masked Singer", it will definitely attract a lot of audiences for Lin Yuan's new movie.
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had the same idea.
Old Zhou seemed to remember something, and suddenly smiled and said, "You may not know yet, but you and Long Yang actually met once."
"Is there?"
Lin Yuan said casually.
Old Zhou laughed and said, "At first, Long Yang wrote a script and wanted Zhang Xiuming to be the leading male role. The two sides had already had the idea of collaborating, but Zhang Xiuming rejected Long Yang's proposal after reading the script of Hachiko."
Lin Yuan nodded.
This kind of thing happens from time to time in the film industry and it's normal.
That evening.
Lin Yuan, Yi Chenggong and other main creators of the film watched the entire film of Spider-Man.
There are tear points.
It's refreshing.
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the result after watching it. Director Yi Chenggong’s ability in script execution is getting stronger and stronger.
…
Qinzhou, the capital.
Inside a leisure club.
Someone who looked like an assistant said to a middle-aged man, "Teacher Long Yang, the theater chain has confirmed that our movie will be released on July 7, but there is also a new movie by Xianyu in the same period, which is also a superhero movie."
This middle-aged man is Long Yang.
However, when Long Yang heard Xianyu, he couldn't help but laugh: "I seem to hear this name a lot recently. The script of the movie Hachiko is very well written. No wonder Zhang Xiuming rejected me for this movie."
Long Yang didn't show any anger when he talked about this.
There was nothing to be angry about.
Zhang Xiuming didn't agree to it at that time, he just said he would consider it. It was his freedom to choose Xianyu in the end, so neither Long Yang nor Lin Yuan took this little matter to heart.
"So this isn't just a coincidence?"
The assistant laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you two would face a second competition so soon. However, this time it's not about competing for actors but for box office revenue. It just so happens that both of you are following the scriptwriting core system."
"Um."
Long Yang nodded: "What's the situation over there?"
The assistant said, "Xianyu's new movie is called Spider-Man. The lead actor is a young newcomer. The investment cost is about 100 million yuan."
“It’s a low cost.”
Long Yang felt relieved.
Movies released in the same period are inherently in competition, and if they are of the same type, the competition is even more intense.
Although the market is huge, if you want to have a hit product you have to stand out!
Fortunately, the threat posed by Xianyu is not great.
Compared with our own side, both the cost and the cast are far behind.
In this case, Long Yang was not too worried—
For some reasons, Long Yang has a relatively deep understanding of Xianyu.
He knew the other person's achievements in the music industry.
But this is the film industry.
In the film industry, compared with the extremely experienced Long Yang, Xianyu is still a newcomer.
Think of this.
Long Yang suddenly made a phone call.
After the call was connected, Long Yang smiled and said, "Son, how about Daddy taking you to the movies in a few days?"
“No.”
A boy's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Didn't you show me "The Legend of the Dragon Man" at the company?"
Long Yang said: "It's not The Legend of the Dragon Man."
The boy was stunned: "What is that?"
Long Yang smiled and said, "Xian Yu's new movie seems to be called "Pig Man"."
The assistant looked at Long Yang helplessly.
It's Spider-Man!
Not Pig Man!
"Envy the fish?"
The boy on the other end of the phone seemed interested: "Then I'll go watch Peppa Pig. All of Xianyu's movies are good!"
"It's settled then."
Long Yang hung up the phone with a smile, then looked at his assistant and said, "This kid is obsessed with Xianyu recently."
"My wife too!"
The assistant suddenly became a little angry, and no one knew what had irritated him.
Long Yang said indignantly: "What I can't stand the most is that my son actually said that Xianyu's movies are better than my father's movies..."
The assistant didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are just not convinced."
Long Yang curled his lips: "Let him watch Xianyu's new movie, so that he can have a comparison in his mind. As a father, how can I be outdone by others?"
assistant:"… "
Are you childish
But this is a good idea. Why don’t you take your wife to have a look
