Li Chen looked at the time.
It was 9:30 in the morning.
It would take more than an hour from the airport to the headquarters of Meow Eye Movies.
He had been very busy recently. Now that he had relaxed, he leaned against the side and prepared to sleep.
.......
At this moment.
Shanghai, Meow Eye Movie Headquarters.
The executives were in a meeting.
"There are too many movies in the primetime slot this time. I'm afraid the screening schedule is a little tight.”Xie Jun said from the main seat.
He was the director of the Meow Eye movie and had been having a headache recently.
Since it was October 1st, many producers had deliberately chosen this time to film. The filming schedule that was originally ample had suddenly become tight.
There were only so many slots in the theater, and it was simply not enough for every movie to be shown.
Now, the executives were gathered here to discuss which ones would be placed in the primetime slot and which ones would be temporarily delayed.
At most, eight films could be screened in the entire time slot.
"This movie has to be screened. Director Feng Dagang's movie has been trending for a long time.”a senior executive said.
Everyone nodded.
Then, on the big screen, the promotional videos of the candidate movies began to play on loop.
In the end, he concluded.
There were seven movies that had to be ranked.
There was only one slot left.
Everyone fell silent, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"I saw the pre-screening of 'The Past of the Mountain City'. The quality is not bad.”Qu Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking first.
"The drama in He Sheng? "Who's the actor again?" Xie Jun frowned and pondered.
"Yi Qianyu, Qin Dongqing."
The projector began to play a clip of " The Past of the Mountain City."
"Oh, oh, oh, I remember now. Yi Qianyu is also an A-list actress.”Xie Jun remembered.
With the production of " The Past of the Mountain City ", it was not a problem to shoot it in the primetime slot. He felt that this was the last film.
At this moment, Zhai Hongfei, who had been silent all this while, said,""Look, all eight movies have the same main theme. I'm not talking about the main theme of truth, kindness, and beauty.
However, if they were all such movies, wouldn't the audience get tired of watching them?”
Xie Jun's eyes moved slightly.
He had been so focused on watching a single movie that he had forgotten about this aspect.
If the cinemas were all filled with movies of a certain theme, the box office would indeed drop if the similarities were too obvious.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Xie Jun asked.
"The Smiling Proud Wanderer." Di Hongfei said.
"The one with Chen Li as the lead?"
Everyone frowned.
It wasn't that she was prejudiced against the crossdresser Li Chen.
It was because no matter how famous he was in the music industry, he was still a newcomer in the film industry.
The people who watched movies and listened to songs were not necessarily the same group of people. Moreover, their acting skills had not been tested by the market.
They knew about this movie. Although the investment of 80 million was not a small sum, the production team was very young, and there were no big names among the actors.
Such a test of the waters was not enough to be released on November 11.
"This is from Director Wu Dong. We can take a look first.”
Zhai Hongfei did not say much. He stood up and walked to the big screen, playing a small clip.
Instantly, everyone's gaze shifted over.
Invincible East came out.
There wasn't a single line in the entire process, but with just a raise of his hand, he had already vividly portrayed the temperament of the Demon Cult Master.
Especially when the "famous scene" appeared
"Is this the acting of a newcomer?!”
"Awesome. Invincible East has a woman's heart and a man's body. Such a complicated character has actually been fully portrayed.”
"I have to go and watch it once for his acting skills.”
"That's it? Oh, this is a promotional video."
Everyone applauded.
They had thrown all the books into the mountains.
Now that he had joined the Sun Moon Sect, the Patriarch of the East had to achieve his goal of unifying the martial world!
"But I heard that this movie doesn't have a male lead.”
"Since the movie has been released as scheduled, it proves that this problem has been solved.'The Smiling Proud Man' will be the last candidate to be released in the eleventh primetime slot.
Xiao Liu, go to the official website and make an announcement. That's all. Meeting dismissed!”
.......
On the other side.
"What is it? 'The Past of the Mountain City' couldn't be scheduled?”The assistant could not believe it.
"Yes, filming during the National Day holiday is very tense. I'm sorry, but we'll arrange for it to be released next month.”
"Next month? If they missed this opportunity, the box office would be at the top.”
"Sorry, this is the decision of the higher-ups.”
"How can you do this!"
Yi Qianyu stood up and took the phone when she heard the female assistant's voice." I'm very familiar with your Director Xie Jun. What's going on?"”
She had spent a lot of effort preparing for this movie. She had originally wanted to make the studio famous and become a top actress.
The traffic during the golden period of the National Day was simply incomparable to the usual. If it could not be released as scheduled, her plan would be ruined.
" I'm sorry, Miss Yin. Originally, it was indeed scheduled to release 'The Past of the Mountain City'. However, after considering that during the National Day holiday period, there were too many topics similar to' The Past of the Mountain City', and the higher-ups saw 'Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World', which was starred by Li Chen, they decided to replace it with that movie. I can't say much more. Goodbye.”
toot--
A busy tone sounded.
"Hey! I haven't finished speaking!" Yi Qianyu was trembling with anger.
"What's wrong, Sister Qianyu?" Qin Dongqing walked over.
Seeing the other party's appearance, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"Dongqing, our movie's schedule has been squeezed out.”Yi Qianyu panted.
"What? How is that possible?" Qin Dongqing's face turned pale.
Previously, they had done some research. There were a total of seven relatively strong movies during the National Day period. It was definitely not a problem for 'The Past of the Mountain City' to occupy a spot.
Moreover, they were filming a main theme movie. Even if it was slightly inferior, it would not be able to be rejected at this stage.
Did Meow Eye Movie take the wrong medicine?
"Who squeezed us out?" Qin Dongqing quickly asked.
"It's 'Smiling Proud Wanderer' with the female lead.”
When Qin Dongqing heard these words, he was stunned for a moment.
Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World?
Wasn't it the movie that he had stopped acting in?
He was originally the male lead of this movie!
"Why? Are you regretting it? Blame me for causing you to miss the opportunity to become famous?”Yin Qianyu was already angry, and when she saw the latter's expression, she became even more unhappy.
"How would I dare, Sister Qianyu?" Qin Dongqing quickly composed himself.
"So what if I'm ranked?" Yin Qianyu said confidently. They didn't even have a male lead.
Perhaps he had found a nobody to play the male lead. With a bunch of new actors, what kind of good movie could he make? Just wait and see."
"Sister Qianyu is right. It must be because the script of 'The Smiling Proud Man' is too good that the cinema didn't consider the quality of the movie.”Qin Dongqing quickly agreed.
"Alright, at most, we'll buy Mu Zichen's script for our next movie.”
Yin Qianyu picked up her phone.
Then, he started posting on Weibo.
After she found out that the boss of Xingchen Studio was Deng Yueying, she did not dare to go against her openly. She could only " obediently " pay the compensation.
He was already holding back his anger, and now his movie schedule had been squeezed out.
Deng Yueying's background was not shallow, and it was indeed not good to offend her.
Therefore, all the Hatred Points were aimed at Li Chen.
