Chapter 213 "Home with Kids" Starts Airing
However, as soon as I thought of this, the voice of the system came to my mind again.
[Start the mission: If you want to become a top film and television tycoon, you need helpers. Ask the host to help others produce 3 movies or TV series with a duration of more than 1 hour. 】
[Note: The host cannot serve as the chief director or assistant director, but can serve as a screenwriter or provide guidance to the directing team. 】
[Reward: One golden lottery chance! 】
You can't be the chief director, but you can be the screenwriter.
Isn't that what happened in "The Magic Chef Xiao Fugui" and "Family with Children"?
"System, you said three, does the previous one count?"
【Doesn’t count. Only works that have not yet been approved will be included. 】
Yeah, "Frozen" doesn't even count. I have to do three more.
Currently, he plans to give "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to Fang Rong, and also promised to give Cha Zelle a work.
That’s two.
Sun Li was also free and asked him to take another photo.
It's better to do martial arts.
Laying the foundation for the subsequent "Wulin Gaiden".
This year, there is a craze for kung fu in the film and television industry, and some martial arts students have also entered the entertainment industry. Casting for martial arts films should not be as difficult as it was when filming "Kung Fu".
Hiss - there are a lot of things going on, and it’s a bit chaotic.
You need to take care of it, otherwise it will be easily missed.
With this in mind, Chen Xiao took out his mobile phone and arranged the next work according to time.
Today is July 11th.
In early August, "A Family with Children" was released.
In late August, "The Truman Show" was released.
So far, he plans to rest for the past month and a half. I only took the time to sort out the script and put everything else aside first.
In late August, two works will be released, and there may be a large number of directors or screenwriters inviting him to share their experiences in exclusive interviews.
After solving the above matters, we will contact the outside world to make new films.
In September, preparations for filming "Alive" began.
At the same time, when scripts such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are given out, it will be said that they are the result of months of hard thinking.
Then in November, "Frozen" was released, which basically had nothing to do with him.
In January, "Alive" was released, and we strive to publish "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
Let’s think about this first. The further the time goes, the more uncertain factors there will be, so I won’t think about it for now.
Chen Xiao exited the schedule planning software, put his phone in his pocket, knelt down and patted Huoyun, "I'm going to the equestrian club, you can enjoy your time at home. Bye!"
…
Four days later, on July 15, at 8 a.m.
Oriental Media officially announced that "The Truman Show" will be released on August 20.
At the same time, a promotional video for the movie was released.
Two hours later, it was already 10pm in country M.
In a single-family villa, Walker, the marketing director of Pinnacle Entertainment, had just watched the promotional video and frowned at the paused scene on the screen.
Judging from this promotional video, Truman should be monitored and then escape from that "prison".
I guess it's a film that explores the character's heart.
There are no gorgeous special effects, no emphasis on love, and no fast-paced excitement.
The most important thing is that apart from the appearance, there is almost nothing that caters to the public's taste.
It does seem to be a literary film.
The minister frowned, leaned on the back of the seat, and raised his hand to scratch his hair.
It's unreasonable.
At the beginning of the year, Chen Xiao told the media a lot of ideas about going overseas. Looking for Cha Zelei again, did he really make such a literary film?
What is going on in his mind?
A young man with a start-up company to his name is not making money, but is he really pursuing self-expression?
But... being able to have a good relationship with Chazelle might mean that his brain circuit is abnormal, or that his brain circuit is not ordinary.
Oh, but if you watch this trailer, you have to pay money if you don’t do it right?
Thinking of this, Walker picked up the phone and called the director of the market research department.
When the call was connected, he asked: "John, have you contacted Sydney Company?"
Sydney Company is the third largest cinema chain in country M. It is engaged in cinema operation and film distribution and is not directly involved in film production.
John on the other side of the phone said: "Well, I contacted a friend. He doesn't know the specific content, but he heard from the leader that the premiere box office is estimated to be far less than "Interstellar", so we don't need to worry too much."
Hearing this, the tension in his mind relaxed slightly, and his tone became a little more relaxed, "Okay, that's good."
The other person continued: "Chen Xiao is a Chinese after all. He and Chazelle only collaborated in early April. The script should be entirely written by Chen Xiao. I guess it should be similar to "Farewell My Concubine". It is impossible for him to write based on our culture. A literary film, right?”
"Indeed. Have you checked China's reaction?"
"Check it, wait a minute, I'll take a look at the report sent by the assistant."
He replied half a minute later: "The response in China is similar to ours, and so-so. In addition, some passers-by said that Chen Xiao's previous films were rarely promoted, but this time they were promoted with such fanfare that they felt it was overly commercialized and worried about quality. "
"That's good." Walker nodded slightly.
Judging from the current situation, there is really no need to worry too much.
The film's gimmicks, box office estimates, cultural depth, and market response are not excellent in four aspects and should not threaten their market.
"That's good. Our new version of "The Little Mermaid" will be released next month. If you find anything happening over there, we will communicate in time."
"good."
…
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to August 10th.
Half of the students' summer vacation has passed, and some poor little ones have even gone to school with their schoolbags on their backs.
Just when the senior year of high school started in some schools, "Home with Kids" began to air.
This led to many students' complaints online that they both loved and hated it.
"Oriental Media, you are doing evil! You aired it while I was in school."
"Ahaha, thank you for letting me not see it. If I watch your TV series again, I will be a dog."
"Upstairs, your homepage background is Chen Xiao... bark now."
When some students were studying in the evening, it was 7:50 p.m., and there were only 10 minutes left before the show started.
In a single apartment in the capital.
Secretary He and his girlfriend turned off the lights, sat on the floor, ate snacks, and waited for the TV show on the projector to start.
"Isn't this a children's sitcom? Why did you ask me to watch this?" The girlfriend put down her drink and asked happily and puzzledly.
Secretary He smiled helplessly.
He doesn't like to watch sitcoms, he likes to watch horror movies.
This is not work.
Last time, Chen Xiao's "The Godly Chef Xiao Fugui" made a lot of noise, and Minister Li was a little confused.
This time, the Radio and Television Bureau conducted a strict review, but Minister Li was still not at ease, fearing that Chen Xiao would cause trouble again.
It was not that Minister Li doubted Chen Xiao, but he did not want Chen Xiao, who was on the same boat with him, to appear in the vortex of conflict, so he could prevent it if possible.
So he asked him to arrange a trustworthy person to watch the update once, and then monitor the online comments after watching it, and be the first to find signs.
Secretary He arranged someone else to do this. But today is the first broadcast, and he plans to watch it himself.
However, there is no need to explain the work task too clearly to his girlfriend.
"Don't you like Director Chen's works? He is the screenwriter of this TV series, so I will watch it with you."
The girlfriend smiled proudly and took his arm.
At this moment, a prompt popped up on the projection on the wall.
["Home with Children" has been updated 1-4 episodes]
Secretary He leaned forward, slid the mouse, and clicked on the video.
In the picture, the opening song did not appear as he expected.
Instead, two middle-aged people walked out to the cheerful piano sound.
The two looked shy.
The man asked, "Are you willing to be my wife?"
"Yes."
"Then are you willing to be my husband?"
"Of course."
Then, three children appeared one after another.
The five looked at the camera with bright smiles, "We are a reconstituted family, and a happy life is about to begin! Yeah!"
