"The Richest Man in Xihong City" did not premiere on November 1.
"囧" will be released on September 25th.
Yue Guan set the premiere date of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" on September 24th.
Carry out the PK in the same period to the end, and be the first to reveal your cards.
Anyway, the film has been censored, leaving only one day for "囧" to respond. There can be no changes to "囧".
This fixed time clearly shows Yue Guan's thoughts.
Many people advised Yue Guan not to be so tit-for-tat.
Including Shen Teng and Da Tiantian.
"Director Yue, first of all, I have no intention of disapproving of you. In fact, I think the box office of our movie will definitely be good. But I don't think it is necessary to be so tied to "囧". Once the box office is beaten by "囧" "If we open it too much, we will be ridiculed even if we make money." Shen Teng suggested.
Da Tiantian agrees with Shen Teng’s idea: “Yue Guan, I also think that our drama will definitely make money, but if we have to compare it with “囧”, it will give people the illusion that we have made money but have not yet made money. ."
There was nothing wrong with their judgment. They were all based on factual analysis. They did not underestimate Yue Guan. After all, they also felt that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" had little problem making money.
They just feel that being tied to "囧" is too tight. Even if they can make several times the profit, if the box office is not as good as "囧", they may be ridiculed.
This concern is justified.
However, Yue Guan just smiled and didn't care: "You two, calm down. In fact, if you analyze it carefully, you will know that it is the best choice to put "The Richest Man in Xihong City" on the day before "Hong Kong Embarrassing" .”
"Why?" The two of them didn't want to understand.
On the other side, Xu Zheng gave the answer.
"Yueguan's choice is wise. If it is released before us, it can at least earn a day's box office. If the reputation is particularly good, you can also have some soup after us." Xu Zheng said.
Zhao Zhetian, the heroine of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" nodded: "I see it this way too. Yueguan's marketing may seem arrogant, but it is actually very down-to-earth. He also knows in his heart that once "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is placed in " If "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" is released later, it will only be suppressed in its entirety. Therefore, releasing it in advance is the wisest choice. Yue Guan is obviously still very afraid of our drama and chose the method of maximizing profits."
Two smart people reached a consensus.
The not-so-smart second male lead, Bao Beier, figured it out: "If Yue Guan doesn't want to collide with us head-on, wouldn't he be able to get more box office if he moves the date forward?"
Xu Zheng was speechless about Bao Beier's IQ.
Zhao Zhetian has a good temper, and patiently explained: "If Yue Guan sets the premiere date of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" too early, he will not be able to get the National Day slot. After all, it is a seven-day National Day period. Movie crowds are the largest. If you miss these seven days, the loss will be too great. Therefore, Yue Guan cannot set the premiere date of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" too early. In fact, it is set on September 24, which is already a bit early. After all, the further away the premiere date is from November, the more box office potential will be consumed in advance.”
Bao Beier suddenly realized: "No wonder why Yue Guan is only one day ahead of schedule."
This is the difference between him and Xu Zheng and Zhao Zhetian.
The levels of thinking are not on the same line.
However, Xu Zheng and Zhao Zhetian's thinking levels were at the same level, but they obviously also misunderstood Yue Guan's thoughts.
Zhao Zhetian asked Xu Zheng: "Director Xu, Yue Guan sent an invitation to our crew, are we going to support it?"
"Of course we are going." Xu Zheng smiled strangely: "We are going to cheer him up, so that when we invite him again, he will be embarrassed to refuse."
"Director Xu, you are going to slap me in the face." Zhao Zhetian said with a smile.
Xu Zheng also laughed: "Yue Guan asked for it. It would be fine if he tried to compete with me with "Feng Shen" II. But if he competed with me with a comedy movie, he would be seeking death. Along the way, Yue Guan has left." It's so smooth. Since he took the initiative to provoke me, of course I will continue."
Xu Zheng didn't want to break up with Yue Guan.
He also wants to cooperate with Yue Guan in the future.
But cooperation also has priorities.
If he wins Yue Guan this time, he will undoubtedly take more initiative in future cooperation.
Therefore, he is bound to win this competition.
On the evening of September 24, Xu Zheng, Zhao Zhetian, and Bao Beier attended the premiere of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" together.
After getting off the car, Bao Beier was a little blinded.
"A lot of comedy stars."
"It feels like attending a Spring Festival gala."
Not only Bao Beier, Xu Zheng and Zhao Zhetian also felt this way.
Looking at these comedy celebrities coming and going, the two of them were also a little shocked.
"Yue Guan invited a lot of people this time."
"I'm afraid it's not just Yue Guan who invited them, but also some of the actors' own connections."
"The premiere is so big. If the quality of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is not good, it will become the biggest joke."
After Xu Zheng and Zhao Zhetian were shocked, their emotions gradually returned to calm, and they even started talking and laughing.
But soon, they heard the noise coming from behind.
"Wardian, am I dazzled?"
"I was also dazzled. They actually came to support me."
"Ye Qinghui, it's rarer to see these two people together than Wang Xiaopin and Fan Wei."
Xu Zheng and the others looked back and their eyes widened.
"You actually invited them out?"
"Don't Yue Guan know that they have been banned by CCTV?"
"This network is simply terrifying."
What aroused so many people's excitement was the most successful sketch combination of CCTV Spring Festival Gala before Sketch King and Fan Wei:
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao!
This old pair has not appeared together in public for nearly thirty years.
If you really want to say how many loyal fans they have, they really don’t have any.
But how powerful are these two together
Just look at the reaction of the reporters at the scene.
Theoretically, the status of Xu Zheng and Zhao Zhetian at this time far surpassed that of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao. However, after Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao appeared, reporters simply abandoned them and paid attention to Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.
Things are rare and valuable.
These two are really worthy of the word "feeling". It's not easy to get off the mountain.
And their appearance is just the beginning.
At the premiere of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Yue Guan didn't use too many of his connections, but Da Tiantian did his best.
The most important thing is that the actors in these sketches used in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" worked hard.
Qin Hui also has three friends, let alone them.
One person called two or three friends. When Yue Guan came to his senses, he was a little shocked.
Not to mention other things, just these comedy celebrities who are here to support us today cannot be invited to the Spring Festival Gala all year long.
The directors of the Spring Festival Gala must be very envious of the lineup for the premiere this time.
In fact, the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala also came to the scene and was already calling Guan Yueguan brother.
"Brother Guan, teach me how to deal with these big names?"
He also wants to get rid of them.
"Director Lu, these big names were not invited by me. They are the actors' own connections. I don't have any great tips."
Yue Guan told the truth.
Among these lineups, the only ones that Yue Guan really took action personally were Wang Xiaopin and Fan Wei.
Then the sketch king helped him get other sketch actors.
And these sketch actors mobilized their own circles of friends to form tonight's premiere lineup.
Looking around, almost all faces are familiar to audiences across the country.
The director of the Spring Festival Gala said he wanted them all.
"The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are not as good as last year. We are under great pressure. If we can invite all these people to go, at least the ratings will not be worse than last year."
"Director Lu, come on, I'm optimistic about you."
In fact, I'm optimistic about Jill.
The general trend that the Spring Festival Gala's ratings are getting worse year by year is basically not irreversible. The factors of the general environment account for more and cannot be changed by human beings.
Of course, this is one of the reasons why many comedy celebrities are reluctant to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
For example, King of Sketch.
If he is willing to come back, the Spring Festival Gala preparation team will immediately be able to carry him back in a sedan chair.
But the king of sketches was too lazy to make a comeback.
Fan Wei didn't want to go either.
Many other sketch actors have withdrawn from the Spring Festival Gala due to various reasons.
When the audience watches the Spring Festival Gala, what they look forward to most are the sketches, and not many people look forward to the singing and dancing.
Without these familiar faces, the Spring Festival Gala’s ratings and influence will naturally decline year by year.
Coupled with the rise of the Internet, audiences have more ways to have fun and pass their time than ever before, and the Spring Festival Gala can no longer serve as spiritual food for the audience.
This general trend cannot be saved even if Yue Guan has a cheat feeling.
However, Yue Guan made a suggestion to the director: "Director Lu, after the premiere tonight, I can be an intermediary and introduce you to two teachers, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao. If you can handle them, this year's Spring Festival Gala will at least It can bring back a lot of viewers with one more gimmick.”
Director Lu frowned when he heard this: "You should know about the conflict between the two of them and CCTV."
"I know a little bit about it, but I don't understand it deeply. Director Lu, you were not the one who made the decision back then. You are the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala. It has been decades, haven't you gotten rid of the contradiction? It's time to meet and have a smile. Let's forget about the grudges." Yue Guan said: "If CCTV can resolve the grudges with the two teachers Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, it will be a good talk if it is spread out. Why should we stick to the rules?"
Director Lu was a little moved by what Yue Guan said.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interest.
He was not the one who wanted to ban Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao back then.
But he is the general director of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
He has no grudges against Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.
But if this year's Spring Festival Gala fails, he will be the sinner.
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao may not be able to help him host a good Spring Festival Gala, but at least they can give the audience a reason to look forward to it.
He understands the power of emotion.
The excitement caused by the appearance of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao today also made him understand the energy of the two combined.
Thinking of this, Director Lu made a decision: "Then please help me introduce them. Whether it succeeds or not, I will talk to them first."
Yue Guan smiled: "Director Lu, you made a wise choice."
In fact, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao cannot save the Spring Festival Gala. Even before they were banned, they had a history of not producing any good works for several consecutive years.
The King of Sketch and Fan Wei did not rise because of their retirement. In fact, the King of Sketch had already risen while they were still there. Different from the impression that many people have that "Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao quit the Spring Festival Gala sketch Wang Caihuo" is that the three years when the sketch king debuted in the Spring Festival Gala happened to be the three years when Chen Peisi was at his peak. They actually collided head-on. .
Then the King of Sketch came out when Chen Peisi was at his peak. In the audience voting, the King of Sketch was at his peak when he debuted, and he quickly overtook Chen Peisi.
The world always likes to beautify some things, but reality is often different from imagination. The idols we like are not actually so perfect and powerful.
On the contrary, the king of sketches, an old farmer in the eyes of many people, has really lived a cheating life.
But it's not important.
Yue Guan originally had no intention of saving the Spring Festival Gala. This was hopeless.
Yue Guan just felt that if Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao could resolve their conflicts with CCTV, it would be a good thing for both parties.
When it comes to blocking, both parties lose.
CCTV lost two people who could be called the pillars of the Spring Festival Gala, and Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao have never been able to see the small screen again, which made countless viewers feel regretful.
It only takes a few years for a normal entertainment company to ban an actor. It has been decades since Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao. No matter how big the conflict is, it should be over.
There have been more than one change of leaders back then.
There is no need to hold on to this.
Judging from Director Lu's reaction, this matter is indeed no longer a big deal.
In this case, why not do it if you can help me out
Director Lu was a little greedy. He glanced at the sketch king in front of him, and then said: "Yue Guan, can you also introduce me to the sketch king?"
"Director Lu, the Sketch King is really planning to quit. You can't afford to hire him. He's not short of money either."
Not only is there no shortage of money.
Now in the entertainment industry, I dare to say that all the stars who are richer than the King of Sketch can only be counted in one hand.
Whenever there is a disaster in the country, the sketch king usually donates the most, and basically never falls out of the top three.
For such people who are completely successful and famous, many times they really have no desire to be strong.
Director Lu also knew this, so he asked Yue Guan to help introduce him.
This is to take advantage of Yue Guan's face.
Yue Guan refused without hesitation.
He can be the middleman for Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, because he knows that Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao have probably wanted to return to CCTV for so many years. In his previous life, Chen Peisi had already shaken hands with CCTV before he traveled through time.
But the King of Sketch is doing much better than the two of them.
After leaving CCTV, the king of sketches is still the king of sketches, and there is no need to pursue anything.
the most important is…
Yue Guan hinted: "Director Lu, some of the people above don't like the Sketch King's vilified image of farmers. I'll just use him for my movie. I'm not a member of the system, so don't take this risk."
Director Lu shook his head and said: "The leader has the mind of a leader. Even if he doesn't like him, he will not deliberately suppress him. If the King of Sketch is really willing to come back, nothing will be a problem. Audiences across the country will like to see him on the Spring Festival Gala."
"Then go and talk to him yourself, I won't get involved."
"Hey, okay, I'll find him myself. By the way, Yue Guan, are you willing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year? If you are willing to participate, I will give you time for two songs."
Yue Guan smiled: "Even singers don't get this kind of treatment, so I'd better forget it."
Director Lu is very sincere.
Previously, Zhang Xueyou withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala because the program team only asked him to sing one song.
The Spring Festival Gala is very insistent in this regard. It doesn't matter how big the coffee table is. After all, the rain and dew must be equally wet.
This time, Yue Guan was given time for two songs, which was obviously very respectable.
Unfortunately, Yue Guan doesn't particularly like singing.
I have no feelings for the Spring Festival Gala.
"Director Lu, the movie is about to start. I'd like to excuse you."
