The wrap up party for the cast of " Wandering Earth " was scheduled to be held at the famous restaurant in downtown Qindao, Tianfu Pavilion.
Although the production team was extremely poor, Guo Fan had no intention of saving money for this wrap up banquet.
When filming, everyone in the crew worked very hard.
Now that they had finished filming, they had to reward everyone well.
"To celebrate our successful completion of filming. Everyone, let's eat to our hearts 'content tonight!”
Director Guo Fan stood and toasted.
To be honest, he had mixed feelings.
He felt relieved, but also fearful of the future.
The movie was finished, but whether it could pass the review, whether it could be released after the review, and whether it could earn back the capital after the release were all potential problems.
However, he had to admit,
As a director, Guo Fan was most concerned about the reputation of " The Wandering Earth " after it was released.
However, there was no way to predict the future even if he let his imagination run wild. Guo Fan still calmed down. He would let time give him an answer in the future.
"Old Guo, drink!"
Wu Jing was a famous drunkard in the industry.
Drinking four taels of wine every day had become a habit.
"Come, Ajing, let's do it."
Guo Fan took off his glasses. Usually, this action meant that he was about to start breaking his drinking habit.
The atmosphere in the private room was very lively. There were toasts and chats.
After three rounds of drinking, Guo Fan brought the topic back to the movie.
"Don't worry, comrades! After tonight, our post-production team will work overtime and strive to produce the finished product as soon as possible. I will also contact the review department as soon as possible to let "The Wandering Earth" be released as soon as possible.”
"Old Guo, you're right! We have to hurry."
Wu Jing patted the table. He agreed with Guo Fan's decision.
"It's the end of November now. If our movie's review is slow, it will probably catch up with the New Year. That won't do!”
The New Year slot was the movie period from the end of November to the beginning of March of the following year, which lasted about 80 to 90 days.
It spanned Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Valentine's Day.
As a result, the New Year segment had the most audience traffic, so its box office earnings were also the highest.
But at the same time, the competition for the New Year slot was also the fiercest.
The big directors in the industry specifically targeted the juicy meat of the New Year's film and insisted on fighting in it. This period could be called a fight between gods.
As a result, many young directors avoided the New Year segment.
After all, their box office appeal was far inferior to Feng Gang and Cheng Long.
If they insisted on participating in the New Year's Eve segment, they would probably lose everything!
This was also the reason why Guo Fan wanted " The Wandering Earth " to pass the review as soon as possible.
"This year's New Year's episode is really a fight between gods. There are many good movies. I heard that Xing Zai's 'The New King of Comedy' is one of them.”
Uncle Da was well-informed.
"Huh? Really!"
Guo Fan was shocked. He recalled the fear of being dominated by Zhou Xingxing during the 2015 New Year.
Back then, Zhou Xingxing's " Mermaid " dominated the New Year's box office with a total of 3.392 billion yuan. It forced several famous directors to temporarily withdraw their files before they could escape.
Now, hearing that Zhou Xingxing was about to make a comeback, Guo Fan was honestly terrified.
"We must not release it during the New Year!”
Wu Jing had been in the industry for so many years, so his judgment had always been accurate.
He believed that the box office earnings of Wandering Earth could only surpass the investment if it avoided the New Year's season.
Immediately after, the executive director and stage supervisor of the production team also expressed their approval.
But…
At this moment, Chu Feng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Da, Director Guo Fan, Senior Brother Wu Jing, my opinion is the exact opposite of yours. I think 'The Wandering Earth' must be screened during the New Year period, and it must premiere on January 1st.”
"Don't talk nonsense! Little Feng, you haven't been in the industry for long, so you don't understand what's going on."
Wu Jing wanted to give Chu Feng a detailed explanation, but Chu Feng interrupted him.
"Senior Brother, I feel that during the filming of 'The Wandering Earth', all of us tried our best. This is an excellent movie!”
Everyone listened quietly. Chu Feng was right.
Under the direction of Director Guo Fan," The Wandering Earth " was filmed in a well-organized manner. Moreover, the actors were all capable, so the quality of the movie was definitely not a problem.
"Since our movies are excellent, why should we be afraid of other people's movies? Just because they were famous directors? Just because their lineup is luxurious?"
Chu Feng's continuous questions were deafening and everyone fell into deep thought.
Zhang Zifeng, who was sitting at the side, was scared silly. He had never seen Chu Feng in this state before.
"Although I'm young and have not acted for long, I think that the only thing that can really determine the box office results is word of mouth! As long as our movie is outstanding, the box office earnings will definitely not be bad.”
At this point, Chu Feng silently sat down.
Just now, he had only spoken his thoughts and had no other intentions.
At this moment, almost everyone was sober.
Wu Jing's face was burning as if he had been slapped.
When Chu Feng's three questions came out just now, Wu Jing had thought it through clearly. The reason why he wanted " The Wandering Earth " to avoid the New Year's section was because he was the investor of " The Wandering Earth ".
He invested 60 million!
Subconsciously, Wu Jing was worried that if " The Wandering Earth " was released during the New Year period, the box office would definitely not be good, and his investment would be lost.
"F * ck! I actually cowered! He was not even as good as Little Wind, a nineteen-year-old child.”
Wu Jing raised his wine cup at Chu Feng and downed it in one gulp.
"Little Feng, thank you for reminding senior brother. This cup of wine is for you.”
After that, the private room fell silent.
After a long while, Director Guo Fan also raised his glass and downed it.
"Chu Feng is right. As a director, I actually have no confidence in my own work! F * ck, I announce that " Wandering Earth " will be released on the first day of the new year. So be it. F * ck!”
