Chapter 57 The Eve of Returning to China (Tenth

"The release of "The Wasteland" marks that it is the only Kung Fu drama series on American TV in the past forty years, and it is also the only drama in the history of American TV that truly displays Chinese Kung Fu art. It fills this kung Fu gap in American TV history. In addition to allowing real Chinese actors to interpret Chinese Kung Fu, the production team of this series has spent a lot of energy to truly present Chinese Kung Fu. They specially set up an elite action guidance team!

In addition, the most representative kung fu film director was invited to direct the film, which was a good start for such a TV series.

American TV viewers have a huge interest in Chinese Kung Fu, but there has never been a series that can satisfy this interest.

Amc signed a contract for a whole season without a pilot, which is definitely a strong bet!” The New York Times

For Amc, "The Wasteland" is a very unique and necessary addition to Amc's series of classic series. It may bring a new group of fans to Amc, a group of drama series that are as delicate, obscure and slow as the rhythm of "Mad Men" has not attracted new fans.

How can an American drama show the popularity of a TV series?

It's very simple, watch the number of viewers replayed.

As we all know, American dramas adopt a weekly broadcast system. For the audience, weekly broadcasts have enough time to talk about the plot, which proves that the reputation of this TV series is spreading. At this time, the number of replayed viewers becomes an important basis for determining whether a TV series is popular!

So, what are the number of viewers of "Wilderness" replay?

"Xu, 12 million, after calculation, the number of viewers of our TV series in three days actually reached 12 million!"

Al Goff excitedly told Xu Hui about the news.

"…So, you have to settle the pay based on a rating of 12 million?"

"Haha, you're really good at joking!"

Al Goff's laughter came to an abrupt end.

Damn, once the contract signed exceeded 3 million, the single-episode buyout price will be increased by 200,000 US dollars per 500,000 viewers.

The ratings of the first broadcast are as high as 6.8 million, and the reputation is good. According to the most normal market rules, the average ratings of this drama cannot be lower than the ratings of 6 million. In other words, the buyout price of amc for a single episode must be as high as at least 4.2 million!

However, compared with the benefits created by "Wilderness", the price of amc is still affordable!

According to incomplete statistics, "Wilderness" has added at least 2 million paid people to Amc. Currently, the cost of subscribing to Amc's cable service and streaming is about $14.99 per month, which means that the "Wilderness" drama brings at least $50 million in paid on-demand fees to Amc.

In addition to advertising sponsorship and the pull of "Wilderness" on Amc's stock price, it can generate at least 200 million profits!

Of course, when I thought about Huiwen going to take a lot of cake from it, I still felt very sad...

"Well, can you continue..."

"no."

Before Al Goff finished speaking, Xu Hui had already refused: "There are many directors who can continue filming "The Wasteland". The tone has been well set, and you can't afford my directorial fee!"

This is true. Xu Hui's director's pay has been publicly urged for $5 million...

"Then who do you think can take over?"

"My assistant Emily or the male lead in the movie can take over the production..."

Of course, Xu Hui continued to serve as a producer and producer. When the conditions were right, he would also bring out a group of domestic directors to experience it, especially Lu Yang, who has hidden violent genes...

...

The main reason is that Xu Hui really doesn’t have time.

His main position has always been in China, not Hollywood, nor North America!

In three months, Paohui was always thinking about the elders and fellow villagers in his hometown and the relatives in the distance.

In three months, I experienced Arbor Day, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival...

Although supervisors send condolence text messages every day, it is not enough to alleviate Paohui's emotions...

Fortunately, Liu Yifei is with him...

Maybe I knew Paohui was going back to China. My young lady had been ravaging Paohui in various ways these days, wanting to try things that she had never tried before, such as women and other things.

Unfortunately, weak chickens are always weak chickens, and muscle memory will be more proficient in many things...

For example, Paohui only needed a simple deep kiss, and she couldn't bear it anymore. Her body became soft and she let Paohui pose in various shameful looks...

But she insisted on showing off, and didn't know what put pressure on her...

"…Xu Hui, I want a child..."

The cannon, who was outputting crazy, shivered in fear, and the positive energy was like a surging river and sea...

"You said it earlier, wasting so much Durex!"

After complaining, Xu Hui pulled out and prepared to take some cigarettes to take some supplements...

When I was quickly returning to the blue, I suddenly heard the young lady beside me speak quietly: "It's snowing in the evening, can I drink a glass of wine?"

Paohui replied casually: 'If the beauty has an appointment, why should she be afraid of the three-foot cold?"

"Then come!"

"…Can you slow down a little, develop lewdly, don't be sluggish?"

...

In the first half of 2012, exactly the same pattern as the original time and space, Hollywood imported blockbusters entered the mainland market in batches of three to five movies per month.

Domestic movies were tragically humiliated, and the films were not kept...

The Spring Festival has survived "Mission Impossible 4" and in mid-February, "The Adventures of the Earth 2: Mysterious Island". In mid-March, "Alien Battlefield" was released. This 3D production that failed in the North American market actually received a box office of nearly 400 million yuan in China...

In early April, "The Wrath of the Gods" was released, a week after it was released. It was about to exceed 200 million yuan. "Titanic 3D" was released!

It won more than 80 million box office results on the first day, and exceeded 500 million in 7 days...

Even after 15 years, Jack and Screw's love still has a lot of fans...

As of May, a total of 13 movies with a box office of over 100 million were born in the mainland, of which 8 were imported films!

"The Great Magician", "The Golden Robbery", "Reverse War" is also a movie from last year's New Year's Eve...

In other words, there are only two newly released works with a box office of over 100 million, "Love" and "Taojie"...

"Sister Tao" is really an excellent work, and the heroine Ye Dexian won the title of Venetian Best Actress!

Director Xu Anhua has been sticking to her creative style since the new wave of Hong Kong films. He has not followed the ups and downs of Hong Kong commercial films, but has adhered to her unique self-expression. The English title of "Sister Tao" is "asimplelife". It seems that looking back on the origin, it is just a scene in the world, and dullness is a blessing...

The audience is also of high standards. Even with the attack of many blockbusters, an art film like "Taojie" can still win a box office of nearly 100 million.

If you are sincere in making movies, someone will feel it!

Unfortunately, there are too few sincerity works like "Taojie". Most of them are shoddy and cannot even be called quality. How can a domestic film that is well-made and well-made Hollywood blockbuster?

Take a look at the movies released, "Lost in the Road", "The Legend of the Countryside", "The Great Chase"...

Especially in March, 34 Chinese and foreign films were released. As a traditional off-season, because the market lacks competition for Hollywood to introduce blockbusters, all kinds of strange things have been mixed into the theater.

All of them are works that don’t want to enter the cinema after reading the name. Most of them are destined to be forgotten by our audience. Some of them, both in terms of artistic quality and technical quality, cannot even be called "movies".

Many movies can tell whether they are bad movies by the title, such as "The Crazy Stupid", "Just Funny", and movies such as "Seven Longdong Qiang Dong Qiang" and "Love is really scary". The titles of these movies seem to be close and easy-going and catchy, but in fact they reflect some film creators' unfamiliarity and indifference to the market.

It is obvious that our film workers did not understand this truth. Until 2018, there were still a bunch of such films full of rural atmosphere released, such as "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors"...

These so-called "movies" are basically the product of a combination of hot-headedness and thief. They were originally trying to catch fish in troubled waters, but unexpectedly found that the water was full of hands.
