Chapter 80 Clashes with "Farewell My Concubine"? Postponed Release! Must Be Postponed!

The next afternoon.

Cuihu Yayuan Villa District.

A Red Flag car drove along the lakeside into the underground garage of a villa.

Chen Xiao and Secretary Liu of Jiahe Diamond walked out of the car, went upstairs from the garage, walked through the first floor hall, opened the door and came to the courtyard.

Chen Xiao walked to the door and felt refreshed.

This villa has three floors above ground and one floor underground.

It also has a courtyard in the style of Jiangnan gardens.

On one side of the courtyard is a straight corridor. A winding path winds out from the middle of the straight corridor, over the green lake, leading to the main entrance.

Chen Xiao exclaimed: "What a beautiful courtyard, I didn't expect that there are Jiangnan-style villas in the capital."

Compared with the symmetrical courtyard design, he prefers this Jiangnan style that blends with nature, which is more artistic.

Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang knows that Director Chen likes this style, so he specifically mentioned it to the chairman. I heard that in the whole capital, only this villa area has a Jiangnan-style courtyard for sale."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. Please help me think about this while taking care of the work of the deputy general manager."

Secretary Liu scratched his head, "Director Chen, I have good news for you. Mr. Zhang has been promoted and is now the president."

He is also the secretary of the president, hehe.

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, I will call Uncle Zhang to congratulate you later."

Secretary Liu chatted with him about the company for a few more words, and looked back at the villa.

"Director Chen, we just came out of the first floor, and you can see that it has not been decorated yet. Mr. Zhang thinks that your aesthetic taste is relatively high-end, and the company's decoration may not suit your taste, so it was not decorated. However, the cost has been paid to you in the form of a year-end bonus."

Chen Xiao nodded and smiled, "Well, I will decorate it myself."

The company is indeed thoughtful.

Of course, you have to decorate it in your own style when you live by yourself.

I just happened to be on vacation recently. I designed the style before the New Year and renovated it after the New Year.

I guess I can move in after I shoot another movie.

"The company considers that it takes time to renovate the house, so we found you a temporary residence for the past year. It is a villa nearby that has been decorated. It is only a 5-minute walk away. You can live there for a year."

Chen Xiao pursed his lips.

Your year-end bonus is quite generous.

Who is responsible for this? How can you think so thoughtfully?

And this villa in the second ring road plus the decoration money is probably equivalent to the diamond income of the past quarter.

Where did the diamonds sell?

Why is the company so generous.

Chen Xiao asked: "Secretary Liu, I heard from Uncle Zhang that the company is going overseas. What is the specific situation?"

"The F country and Asian markets are open. The chairman said that if he doesn't give you a huge year-end bonus, he will feel uneasy when he looks at the financial report."

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows.

The Asian market and the F country market are open, which is better than he expected.

In this case, I will accept the house with peace of mind.

Go to handle the procedures in the afternoon.

He was just about to go inside to take a look at the four-story structure.

The phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Director Li's secretary.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Xiao greeted Secretary Liu, walked to the pavilion next to him, and answered the phone.

"Good afternoon, Secretary He."

"Hello, Director Chen, the premiere time of Farewell My Concubine has been confirmed. It will be broadcast on the movie channel at 8 pm on January 31. It will be replayed on February 1, and then suspended, and will be broadcast again after the New Year. But it will be launched on the entire network platform on the 2nd."

So fast?

After watching it last night, the broadcast time was confirmed today?

The system hasn't prompted yet, so the movie hasn't been reviewed yet, right?

Chen Xiao asked: "Secretary He, how can it be confirmed so quickly? Has the movie been reviewed?"

"Not yet, but don't worry. We all watched it yesterday. There is no problem with the review by the subordinate agency, but it needs to go through the process, probably today or tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you! ”

He was not worried about the review, but just wanted to know when the system would refresh the task.

It seems to be today or tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao and Secretary Liu walked into the villa to visit the house type.

At the same time.

Official departments such as the Ministry of Culture, the Movie Channel, and the Opera Channel also announced online that "Farewell My Concubine" will be broadcast on the Movie Channel at 8 pm on January 31.

After last night's warm-up, the news rushed to the top of the entertainment list.

The Sixth Princess' Weibo was full of cheers.

"Fuck! I love the Sixth Princess!"

"The Sixth Princess is awesome! If you are allowed to broadcast during the Spring Festival, you should try to broadcast it a week in advance! Love youヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

"Yu Ji and Xiang Yu, it must be a romance movie, like Titanic. I want to go to the hotel with my girlfriend to watch it! ”

…

Major media outlets, even some official media outlets, also reposted the news, with great fanfare.

Twenty minutes later.

In the capital, the headquarters building of Youyue Film and Television, the third largest film and television company in the country.

In the conference room on the 21st floor.

The vice president of Youyue Entertainment sat at one end of the long table, flipping through the documents in his hands, occasionally looking up at the two people who were arguing.

“We must change the time! Change it to after the holiday.”

Director Zheng of the Market Research Department pointed to the documents in his hand and said anxiously, “It will collide with Farewell My Concubine, and our box office is likely to plummet!”

Director Wu of the Production Department waved his hand, “Oh, Minister Zheng, Farewell My Concubine is based on the reputation of the Ministry of Culture and Chen Xiao, and many fans of Titanic are making a fuss, so it has caused a stir online. Aren’t you too nervous?”

Minister Zheng was already anxious. His own movie was only 7 days away from release. If it was postponed, the time would be extremely tight.

Now, hearing his contemptuous tone, he suddenly felt angry.

He stood up and slapped the table:

"You also know that it was the Ministry of Culture and Chen Xiao! They are officially promoting it. You are a Cannes award-winning director. What's wrong with you? I have been doing market research for more than 20 years. Are you arguing with me?!"

Minister Wu of the production department was not very happy either. He snorted coldly, "We have already set the release date. You..."

"Okay, stop talking."

The deputy director threw the document on the table and interrupted the two.

He snorted coldly and looked at the two ministers.

How old are they? They almost quarreled in the conference room. What kind of words are they talking about?

He looked at Minister Zheng of the market research department, "Old Zheng, you called us here. You go first. Why do you insist on postponing the release?"

Their "The Immortal Fate" is a fairy-tale love movie.

Love is a tragedy.

In order to avoid being criticized by the public for being released during the Spring Festival, the film was released one week earlier and the publicity was intensified.

This has many benefits.

First, it is still released during the Spring Festival holiday, but it will not be criticized by the audience for being unlucky. Because it is not the Spring Festival period. The audience came to watch it voluntarily.

Second, students have just had their winter vacation, and some young people are still shopping for New Year's goods.

Released a week earlier, it can target young couples who have not yet returned to their respective homes, as well as young people who are shopping.

Third, there are almost no movies released at this time, which is a vacancy.

Considering these benefits, the company scheduled this fairy-tale love story on January 29 at the end of last year.

It is now the 22nd, and there are only 7 days left. If the release date is changed, the cost is not small.

Minister Zheng took a deep breath, sat back in his seat, suppressed his anger and explained: "I am sure you two have heard of "Farewell My Concubine"?"

The other two nodded.

Minister Zheng pointed to the materials in his hand and continued:

"Then I won't introduce it in detail, just tell me the reason directly."

"First, the popularity and fan base. The popularity of this film on the Internet has surpassed ours. Titanic has a huge fan base, and many people have high expectations for Chen Xiao's new film."

"Second, it will be released on CCTV, and it will be released for free on the entire network from the beginning of February. Free! Can our fees be compared?"

"Third, and most importantly, think about it, why don't they release it during the Spring Festival?"

"Can't they squeeze into the Spring Festival period? Of course they can!"

"If they can squeeze in, why release it before the Spring Festival?"

Minister Zheng glanced at the two people who were thinking, paused for a while, slowly opened his mouth, and continued:

"This movie is called "Farewell My Concubine", and the reason why it was released before the Spring Festival is definitely because it is a tragedy!"

"It completely conflicts with our ideas."

"So, we must change the date!"
