Zhong Shi is not able to integrate into the two of them for the time being: "But can the writer really make a movie? Before the end of the year?"

Although he has left Yimao, he is also a personal person and cannot help but have selfish intentions. If he dismisses himself and replaces him with Wei Shengjin, he will do it better than himself, which is very unhappy.

Wade nodded, "The rest are technical issues. As long as Yimao's team can handle it well, I have no doubt about the box office of "Gentleman Battle". Wei Shengjin has reason to win the trust of bosses of all sizes."

Wade left a little bit of a word. To some extent, he was also doing the same thing as Wei Shengjin, but he lacked imagination and always looked for talents in the film industry, and the other party had expanded.

Lu Jian shook his head and said, "So selling IP is a loss-making deal?"

"I've considered extreme situations." Wade nodded, "If the sequel box office exceeds 1.5 billion, we will get a 25% share."

Zhong Shi shook his head and smiled, "1.5 billion? Take over "Lady Battle"? A writer? I really don't have this imagination."

Wade smiled and said nothing: "Of course, you are better at imitating existing events and using other people's methods to get what you want."

Zhong Shi scratched his head: "Are you mocking me? Where did I mess with you?"

Lu Jian waved his hand and said, "Okay, OK, doing our business is my plan, and I urgently need a complete and rigorous schedule."

"I've seen it..." Zhong Shi looked at Lu Jian incomprehensible, "If this arrangement is done... it will be almost 24 hours a day, the actors can be staggered, and the team can work day and night shifts, but can you hold on?"

Lu Jian gently stroked the black-framed glasses in his arms: "In terms of time, if it's a few months, I'll still be fine."

Zhong Shi looked at Wade suspiciously again.

"He has extraordinary achievements in time as he said." Wade pointed the table, "Fighting Club is a bad name, to be modified, to make people see the theme without spoilers."

Lu Jian shook his head and said, "This is a reversal of personality splitting. If the movie name is pointed out, it will be a spoiler. Is it called "Split"?"

"No, there is a little more artistic conception, such as..." Weideto said, ""My Fight with Me"?"

"I'm so stunned." Lu Jian's expression moved, and his spirit always came so easily, ""-me"?"

Wade pursed his lips and said, "It's good, but it can't be in English."

"Real translation? "Kill me and heal me"? So stupid."

Zhong Shi suddenly slapped the table: "How about "Save Me"?"

Wade nodded: "No, there is suspense and a sense of expectation."

Lu Jian was dissatisfied: "It's better to "Fight Club"."

In the end, the three voted, "Save Me" won, and the project was officially renamed.

...

Throughout the summer vacation, news about the two dramas jumped out one by one. What’s amazing is that this time the position is very strange.

"Save Me" is a two-hero drama with great acting skills. For this reason, Zhong Shi invited Hu Kun, who is very picky in the script. He has one drama every year and pays great attention to his brand. Being able to be picked by him is already a recognition of the script. He will star in this two-hero drama with Xia Ge, possessed by Ma Long Brando. Of course, with his joining, his budget is also soaring.

In terms of female roles, Wang Miaoling, who attracted countless fans in the drama "My Roommate is a Female Killer", was activated. This woman was so fast that she got on the post, and her dusty taste was more in line with the role in the drama.

In addition, there are also a series of veteran movie stars who are famous for their acting skills to announce their joining, which makes "Save Me" a huge trend, with a budget of nearly 300 million yuan here, which is undoubtedly a super blockbuster.

On the contrary, the wealthy Yimao seems cautious.

The male protagonist has used a second-tier young actor, and it is difficult to find a big name for many supporting roles. It is said that the final investment of the whole drama is no more than 40 million, which is even more affordable than "Lady Battle". Director Gao Huanhuan wrote several songs for the movie himself, and the project team still insisted on retaining the musical elements, but such a lineup is untrustworthy.

Lu Jian took the blockbuster route, while Yimao became a small investment. This contrast made everything confusing.

But there is something even more crazy hidden in it.

"Mr. Wei, Lu Jian seems crazy..." Zhao Ye sent the latest news to the latest boss, "It is said that they were in a row in 24 hours, and the crew worked in two shifts..."

Wei Shengjin signed the documents and said with a smile: "Can he hold on?"

"It seems that I really hold on. I said I didn't meet my eyes for a week, and I was full of vitality."

"Look, it's another hype. News about hospitalization will be heard in two days, which will attract the news."

"Not only that... it's particularly ridiculous at night." Zhao Ye scratched his head and said, "In the evening, Lu Jian temporarily created additional dramas and arranged the plot on the spot..."

Wei Shengjin laughed and said, "That's really crazy. Who can't learn well? Learn from Zhang Wei's family."

"Can it be..." Zhao Ye has been a producer for so many years, so he can naturally guess some tricks, "Sealing?"

"Photograph a condom..." Wei Shengjin was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what the word meant, but he was embarrassed to ask for advice.

"It's just two dramas, filming together," Zhao Ye said, "For example, Lu Jian wanted to make "Fight Club" into a trilogy, but in order to save money, he shot them all in one go, or filmed one and a half. After all, it's not easy to hire so many big names."

"Are you very ambitious?" Wei Shengjin didn't care. "Let him play. We will do our own movies well and don't pay attention to them. We will report their affairs the day before the release."

...

In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation has passed, the golden autumn is coming, and the weather is turning cold, the two dramas have been completed one after another. Xia Ge's performance is beyond everyone's expectations. The depression aura he originally brought has turned into a charming aura, and each look reveals a mysterious bad thing. Hu Kun said that it was an innate aura, and Xia Ge himself did not believe it.

The festival between Lu Jian and Yimao has gradually been forgotten. The end of the year has come. They only represent two works, "Save Me" and "The Gentleman's Battle".

From any perspective, the former has far greater momentum than the latter.

On one side is the famous director Lu Jian, which is blessed by many big brands, and is full of mystery.

On the other side is Yimao Film, which has been defeated repeatedly, and a director who is not a director at all, as well as a group of outdated young actors. Moreover, this play is an IP created by Lu Jian. No matter how you criticize Lu Jian in terms of values, his style cannot be copied, and the music of Star Factory is even more insurmountable.

In addition, "The Battle of the Gentleman" was written by director and screenwriter Gao Huanhuan, whose values ​​are even more devastated by mainstream critics. Public opinion is generally extremely unpopular with this movie. Including the brand support of hundreds of millions of cats, it has once again fallen into a situation where it is difficult to protect the capital.

The publicity and promotion of both sides is the same as in the sky and the underground.

"Gentleman's Battle" changed Yimao's previous style of spending heavy investment publicity, and carried out his work in a low-key and standardized manner.

"Save Me" is distributed by Qianjin Entertainment, and big brands take turns to play.

The preview and preview are the key points. The former is concentrated on watching by a small-scale industry insider and provides opinions, while the latter is concentrated on watching by a small-scale audience to make market expectations.

In order to ensure the movie effect and stay away from spoiler nightmare, "Save Me" did not even have a trial and preview. After passing the review, it was scheduled to be released on December 7. Except for the limited reviewers of the committee, no one knows what the movie looks like.

"The Gentleman's Battle" was launched in a regular tour preview. They gave up on the first-tier cities and went straight to the colleges in second-tier cities to organize early viewing. These audiences can watch "The Gentleman's Battle" in advance in theaters.

By December 1, some small waves touched Lu Jian's nerves.

Some heart-wrenching film reviews of the audience participating in the preview have begun to circulate on the Internet.

[I thought it was just a comedy, but who knew it was so heart-wrenching... I couldn't come out crying in the theater.]

【Too touched, everyone must watch it!】

[It's not as funny as "Lady Battle", but it's more heart-warming than before, profound and thorough!]

[Girls must not watch it by themselves, as they will cry until they are out of strength.]

[Gao Huanhuan is so talented, beautiful, and sad!]

Such comments are incomprehensible, even Lu Jian cannot understand them.

Did you make this IP a tragedy?
Chapter completed!
