Chapter 96 The first half of the year
Perfect idol Liu Dehua!
Even if he is so bad that he is the king of bad movies, he is still a capitalist for his character!
To give the simplest example, Liu Dehua handled a much better deal with the conflict between the security personnel at the concert and the on-site security personnel!
"I know the security guard, you guards are for my good. I'm sorry, I'm worried about you. I'm fine! I'm fine! However, there are concert rules. No matter how enthusiastic the fans are, I hope you remember the importance of safety. Don't go in a mess, and you shouldn't do anything illegal. Everyone loves me and supports me. I know! Don't use some unsafe methods to worry me. It also makes the security guards and guards embarrassed."
Zhou Jiebang: "This policeman, don't throw away the light cards of my fans. Why do you want to maintain order and throw away the light cards of my fans? Get out of me! Get out of me!"
Get out of your sister...
Another point is that after King Liu returned, he publicly expressed his patriotism many times, and was jokingly called "Teacher Liu" by many people!
He has donated generously many times to fund mainland films and support new directors. This is not something that ordinary Hong Kong filmmakers have done!
One country, two wisdoms...
Xu Laoqian and Er Dongsheng, as seniors in the Hong Kong film industry, also vigorously promoted newcomers. However, they promoted local filmmakers in Hong Kong. For example, the work "Cold War" can bring in a bunch of actors, but it is not because they are sympathetic to the younger generation...
When Adu's "Threesomes" was filmed, he led three juniors to sneak into Yuezhou and helped to supervise the production of "The Tree's Big Wind" because the latter script has not been reviewed, so there is no filming license!
Yes, they are all very talented, but they are just Hong Kong filmmakers!
...
"Not only is he expensive, but his schedule is also very tight!"
Ning Hao glanced at Xu Hui and told a story.
In "No Man's Land", the role of a lawyer was originally prepared for Liu Dehua, and the latter had a tight schedule, so there was no choice but to find Xu Zheng.
"…To be honest, if Liu Tianwang starred, the probability of passing the movie would be much higher!"
"Who knew there would be so many things?"
"Talk about Wu Ershan, now your name is robbed of by him!"
Xu Hui looked at him jokingly.
Ning Hao blushed a little...
Don’t look at his humility when facing the media, “In addition to personal expression, this is my job as a director, and I have to make a living.”, ‘I am a realist, and I do whatever I can…’
Listen, how nice it sounds, it's like putting yourself in the dust...
But the promotional poster of "The Golden Robbery" is clearly his personal photo!
He was so proud that he was afraid that others would not know that "The Golden Robbery" was his work...
On the other hand, Wu Ershan, "Painted Skin 2" includes "The Dragon Search". You have to hold a magnifying glass to find the words "Director: Wu Ershan"...
"...Aren't you also known as the genius director born in the 1980s..."
Ning Hao hesitated for a long time and finally thought about how to refute it.
"Me? I don't care about any name!"
Xu Hui waved his hand: "Actually, I think this is the best time, especially for filmmakers like you and me, no matter how bad you shoot, the audience will pay for it!"
"…What does this mean? Are you going to transform?"
"It's almost the same. When "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is over, I will go to film "Paradise Cinema". Then I will help the company build the "Die Renjie" series, and I may try other types of movies, such as horror movies, comedies and so on..."
"…you...you want to make a comedy?"
This was the first time Xu Hui revealed his plans afterwards, and Ning Hao was shocked.
“…No?”
"Okay, of course, even if you make a B-level movie, there will be audiences paying for it!"
This topic stopped, and Xu Hui suddenly remembered something: "Ning Hao, "Die Renjie" series, I don't plan to shoot it myself, I may have to try 'producer-centered production'..."
"...It's not feasible. Our crew has always been the director. If you are so rash, why are you doing the 'producer-centered system'? I'm worried that you will shoot the four-dimensional ones!"
"I have talked to several Disney producers. In fact, the producer center focuses on manager-driven, while the director center focuses on creation-driven. When your structure is particularly complex and extremely large, management is particularly important. When your system is very small, you have to be realistic! The "Die Renjie" series is a big production with an investment of more than 200 million yuan..."
"Why did you tell me this? It's impossible for me to be the director of "Die Renjie"!"
Ning Hao suddenly became alert and looked up at Xu Hui: "...My own movie is about to start."
"Didn't I tell you in advance? I'll plan to do this in the future when the blockbusters in our company!"
...
In the first half of 2012, domestic movies were wailing.
The box office ratio of imported blockbusters and local movies has reached a level of 7:00!
Among them, April and May are particularly tragic.
"Embroidered Spring Sword 2" failed to save the overall situation that was getting worse and worse!
This made the relevant departments very anxious.
The box office ratio of domestic movies every year will inevitably surpass foreign movies. This is their task, which is related to the year-end KPI!
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the relevant departments used macro-control methods to directly move the two most competitive movies in June, "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" to the end of August...
Domestic movie protection month is here!
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" won a box office of 600 million in June, "Painted Skin 2" continued, and finally, the domestic films made a comeback!
Actually, it doesn’t matter. The policy will definitely favor domestic movies, which is a must!
But some people's faces are really ridiculous: 'My movie has unbeatable domestic box office!'
On the one hand, we talk about cultural output, and on the other hand, we are only satisfied with the domestic market...
For Huiwen Tianxia, although "Embroidered Spring Sword 2" unexpectedly had a cold encounter in the first half of 2012, the overall direction of the company was very healthy, and North America, which has been in a long-standing layout, finally saw its first results!
After "The Wasteland", Huiwen is preparing to launch "The Deadly Weapon" and "Rush Hour", with a Chinese starring...
Copyright is still being negotiated. After all, the IP of "The Deadly Weapon" belongs to Warner Bros. The IP of "The Peak Hour" belongs to the new line movie company. Of course, the new line belongs to Warner Bros....
The export copyright of "Embroidered Spring Sword 2" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is very gratifying, especially the latter, in addition to selling nearly $5 million in Southeast Asia, it is also dominated by Huiwen Tianxia.
The box office reached $8 million...
As for the strong sense of history of "Embroidered Spring Sword 2", North America has only made DVD releases. Most of the people who are interested are local Chinese, and the sales are not very good. In two months, they only sold more than 20,000 copies...
However, Huiwen Tianxia has initially had its own distribution channel in North America, which is something that can’t be bought even if you don’t have a fortune!
Chapter completed!
