Chapter 889 Spring Festival Lineup
"The competition for the Spring Festival slot this year is quite fierce!"
At the airport, shutters kept flashing as CP fans excitedly recorded the long-unseen moment of Bingxue and Qiyuan appearing in the same frame. However, Ye Xuanqi was pointing at the screen of her mobile phone and sharing information about the movies scheduled for the Spring Festival with Jiang Yuan.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan also moved closer to take a look, "There are two more than before."
With not much time left before the Spring Festival period, the lineup of Spring Festival films has basically been officially announced and confirmed.
"Looking at the media reviews, it seems that this year's Spring Festival film list is the most anticipated in recent years?" Ye Xuanqi said uncertainly.
"What perfume are you using today?" When Jiang Yuan got closer, the fragrance that hit him made him distracted for a moment.
"How is it? Does it smell good?" Ye Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, but she was able to follow Jiang Yuan's return journey.
"Yeah." Jiang Yuan nodded affirmatively, and then turned his attention back to the list of films for the Spring Festival.
However, before Jiang Yuan could study it carefully, his thoughts were interrupted by the occasional cheers from some fans at the scene.
Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi appeared at the airport together. The picture of them in the same frame itself made many CP fans excited. And the action of Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi discussing the list of Spring Festival films together was undoubtedly a very intimate behavior in the minds of fans who could not hear the sound.
So much so that even offline, with the real owner in person, some voices were still heard at the scene.
This also allowed Jiang Yuan and the other person to come back to their senses temporarily. Before entering the waiting room, they also greeted the fans in different directions as a farewell.
Although there were many fans of the two at the scene, everyone was relatively orderly. Even when they were taking pictures and seeing them off, they kept a distance from the two to avoid disturbing them.
This was also a very comfortable distance for Jiang Yuan and others, and they did not feel that this airport trip was any different from usual.
After entering the lounge and sitting down, Jiang Yuan also took out his mobile phone and continued to discuss several competitors during the Spring Festival period with Ye Xuanqi.
On the Internet, it didn’t take long before their airport photo became a hot topic, even when Jiang Yuan and his team were still boarding the plane.
The topic became increasingly popular, which also brought back to life many fans of the "Ice and Snow Qiyuan" CP.
[The CP I was obsessed with is finally open for business! 】
[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a photo. 】
[I woke up very early in the morning. This picture is very good for my eyes. 】
[Is this the start of promotion for the new movie? Is this the start of recording a variety show? 】
[What are you whispering about? You smile so sweetly. ]
[The wallpaper has been quickly changed. ]
[Looking forward to the performance of the brothers and sisters in the new movie! ]
-
Because they haven't appeared together in an event for such a long time, the related topic quickly became a top trending search topic.
This situation was beyond the expectations of Jiang Yuan and others.
The two appeared at the airport at the same time, and the production team did take photos of them, but they did not intend to use this as a marketing point for the film.
After all, in this movie, there is no emotional connection between the two people, so there is naturally nothing to hype up as a couple.
The current level of popularity is indeed unexpected, but fortunately it is not a bad thing.
The sudden hot search was just a small episode for the two of them.
More attention is still paid to the several movies being discussed.
While waiting for the flight, Jiang Yuan had already gotten a general idea of several movies scheduled for the Spring Festival.
Including "Detective Chinatown" and the animated film that has a sequel released every year, there are a total of eight movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The number of films released is similar to previous years.
But Jiang Yuan also understood why some media accounts called this combination the most anticipated film list in recent years.
Although there were the same number of movies released on the same day in previous years, there would basically be one or two movies that were just for show, and at first glance, people would feel that they were not very competitive during the Spring Festival period.
But this time, including "Detective Chinatown", all the films are obviously aimed at the Spring Festival period.
Basically, none of the films seem to have been released at random, and each one has been promoting itself with great efforts in recent times.
"This year, the competition with these comedy films is quite fierce." Ye Xuanqi expressed such emotion after learning about all the films.
During the family-friendly period such as the Spring Festival, comedy is still the main hit. Even if most people rarely go to the cinema on weekdays, they would not be averse to watching a comedy movie with their family during such a holiday.
"Indeed, if we are included, a total of five movies are comedies." Jiang Yuan also nodded. In addition to these five, even the animated films were also labeled as comedies.
It is undeniable that comedy is indeed a very good selling point during the Spring Festival, otherwise Jiang Yuan would not have come up with "Detective Chinatown" after careful consideration.
Several movies released during the same period this year also basically adopted the "comedy +" strategy.
As the name suggests, it is to add comedy elements to different themes for filming.
"Especially for the film "A Minute of Pause", the combination of science fiction and comedy should be very attractive."
Ye Xuanqi pointed out one of the movies in particular. If it weren't for the fact that she had to promote a movie during the Spring Festival, she would have been attracted by the trailer and wanted to go to the cinema.
"Indeed." Jiang Yuan paused for a moment on the title of the film and nodded.
It has to be said that compared to Ye Xuanqi, Jiang Yuan is relatively unfamiliar with the names of some directors and actors.
However, after reading the lineup information of "A Minute of Pause", I have a better understanding.
First of all, the other party’s comedy selling point is mainly reflected in the leading cast.
The several leading actors are basically all famous for comedy, and one of them is even an artist who has won the Best Actor Award.
Seeing such a propaganda slogan, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
After all, if he could win the Best Actor of the Year at the Academy Awards ceremony, he could confidently add the title of Best Actor when promoting his new movie.
Although if you are a little more shameless now, you can also add words like "Best Actor Nomination" when promoting it. Indeed, many movies have adopted this method for promotion, but this strategy still doesn't work for Jiang Yuan, which is a bit embarrassing.
In addition to the strong lineup, the director of "A Minute of Pause" is also a newcomer in the past two years who is famous for his imaginative and unconventional shooting techniques.
This pairing, coupled with the fact that the film itself is based on a highly rated anime, makes the film a very attractive selling point for the audience.
Even Jiang Yuan had to admit that after watching the promotion, he really wanted to know more about this movie.
"But fortunately, the audience of this movie is a little too young, and some people may not necessarily accept this abstract style."
Jiang Yuan thought about it calmly and spoke.
Although "A Minute of Pause" seems novel, from the perspective of the general public, it may not be welcomed by everyone.
This limitation was further magnified during the Spring Festival period, and this discovery made Jiang Yuan and others feel relieved.
"But this "Fantasy Family" takes a different route." Ye Xuanqi pointed to another movie and said.
"Indeed, the theme of this film happens to be family affection, and the directors and actors are well-known, so the audience will indeed be much wider." Jiang Yuan also nodded in acknowledgment.
After watching one movie after another, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh that in such a highly competitive period as the Spring Festival, well-known directors and actors have basically become standard for every movie.
Many movies use actors with great appeal. Although the quality of the film is what ultimately matters, if any of the main actors fails to carry the box office in the early stages, it will still have a relatively large impact on the film's performance.
It’s not like there haven’t been movies that have good reputations but fail to perform at the box office.
Especially during the Spring Festival period when competition is so fierce, the first two days of release are particularly important.
"A family-friendly movie like this should be able to earn a good box office during the Spring Festival as long as the quality is not too bad."
Jiang Yuan made such a guess about the movie titled "Fantasy Family".
"The other two, one is a sports theme, and the other is a suspense and comedy like ours." Ye Xuanqi looked at the remaining two comedy movies.
Jiang Yuan focused on the latter film. "'The Last Luck' should be our main competitor during the promotion period, including the two days before the release."
“Both films incorporate suspense elements, so they can be said to be targeting the same audience.” Jiang Yuan tapped the screen of his mobile phone.
Having said that, Jiang Yuan is still quite confident about "Detective Chinatown".
Putting aside the quality of the film, just in terms of the film's promotion and marketing, and even the ability to carry the box office, Jiang Yuan feels that his side is much more capable.
As a selling point in the publicity and promotion stage, the combination of Jiang Yuan and He Jing has always had a good reputation, and the newly joined actors have also played a role of icing on the cake. The competition in terms of lineup can be said to be not bad at all.
In addition, like Jiang Yuan’s previous pseudonym, the watermark of Omega’s works is still very valuable.
The name Omega alone is enough to attract a lot of viewers.
Not to mention that the currently released "Love Letter" also shows to a certain extent that Jiang Yuan's ability to carry the box office alone is very strong. Apart from Jiang Yuan, there are no other big names in this movie who can attract many audiences to the cinema.
"Detective Chinatown" has been upgraded on this basis, so Jiang Yuan is even less worried.
Jiang Yuan feels that if he were the cinema chain, he would also give himself priority in scheduling more screenings. Just based on this fan base, the box office of the movie should be relatively strong in at least the first two days.
If the word of mouth gets a little better, the screening schedule and box office will be even less likely to be bad.
“There are two other relatively large productions as well.”
"One is an adventure action movie, and the other is actually a business war movie." Ye Xuanqi couldn't help but be surprised when looking at the types of movies.
The latter is especially surprising. No one would have thought that such a well-made and strong-cast business war movie would be added to the Spring Festival period.
It is not possible to see one or two films of this type in a year, which makes Jiang Yuan feel that if the film is really well made, it may become a dark horse during the Spring Festival.
The former is more familiar to people. Every year, there will always be such adventurous movies with some fantasy elements.
This is also a relatively safe category of movies. Regardless of whether the word of mouth collapses or not, it will always be able to attract a certain amount of box office revenue if it is released during this period.
"From this perspective, the competition is indeed fierce." After the analysis, Ye Xuanqi couldn't help but sigh.
"Changing your mindset might be a good thing." Jiang Yuan put away his phone, thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm?" Ye Xuanqi gave a probing look.
"If these movies are all good, while the competition is fierce, it may stimulate the market to a certain extent."
"You have to know whether the market is hot or cold. The gap between them is still very huge, which is also an opportunity for us."
After Jiang Yuan thought about it, he still had relatively positive thoughts in his mind.
"It will be." Ye Xuanqi also nodded slightly.
It is indeed just as Jiang Yuan said, in the same popular period, it is not uncommon for the total box office to double depending on whether the market is hot or not.
At the moment, Jiang Yuan’s expectations for the Spring Festival period are that he hopes it will be a hot and competitive period as some media have said.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Yuan boarded the flight with Ye Xuanqi and others to the destination of this variety show recording.
"By the way, did your agent tell you what variety show we are going to record this time?" After getting on the plane, Jiang Yuan looked at the destination Haicheng on the ticket and asked Ye Xuanqi.
"Eh? You don't know either?" Ye Xuanqi asked in surprise.
Jiang Yuan shook his head. "No, Sister Zhang Qing and the others were very mysterious. They said they had discussed with the program in advance to keep it secret."
"Even He Jing didn't tell me what program I would be participating in." Jiang Yuan also felt that it was a bit outrageous.
"It seemed like he was worried that I would guess it, so he didn't even tell me his schedule for the next few days."
Pulling his attention away from the relatively distant Spring Festival movies, Jiang Yuan was also curious about what kind of variety show he was going to record.
"I guess we can only find out when we get to Haicheng." Ye Xuanqi pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so she could only give up.
The two of them simply stopped thinking about this problem and focused again on their original response to this flight.
At the same time, in Haicheng, the program crew also began to prepare to welcome Jiang Yuan and his friend.
