Chapter 120 The Lunar New Year is coming
December is coming, and it is the busiest time of each year again. There are a lot of award ceremony at the end of each year.
It’s time to take stock of the results of major entertainment companies in 2013!
Of course, Xu Hui also received a lot of invitations, but he basically refused. There were some things that were really hard to shirk, such as the Weibo Night of Zhalanglang.
After all, I paid the protection fee...
In 2013, Huiwen's film project was of course at the top of the industry. Xu Hui took action, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Oriental Unbeaten" directly dominated the two top Chinese film films!
However, I may have devoted more experience to the film field, and the performance of TV series has declined...
Although they have established good cooperative relationships with Noon Sunshine and Xinli, the TV series of these two companies are both popular but not very popular.
"Fighting Changsha", "No War in Peking", "The Hot Mom", "Ten Years of Love", "If Life Deceived You"...
A series of high-reputation works, but unfortunately, the ratings are overwhelmingly overwhelmed by a bunch of dramas such as "The Love of Millions of Brides Without Regrets", "Bright Life", "Innocent Meets Reality", and "Happiness Every Day" are all over the place!
"The Legend of Hot Mom" is a little better with the support of the Queen Mother, but it has not entered the top ten of the year!
As for "Ten Years of Love", it is scheduled to be released on the opening drama of Mango TV in 2014. Damn it, but unfortunately, except for the incidents of Wang Dazhi and Dong Jie...
Brother Chao was probably going to cry too, the TV series is closed!
Huiwen actually doesn't really value TV series.
They started their business with movies. Besides, they held the "Please Answer" series in their hands, maintaining the efficiency of one movie every two years, which is enough. Last year, they also created the "You from the Stars" that leads the entire TV series industry benchmark!
This year, I'm a little careless...
Although the TV series derived from several big IPs sold well, the ratings are not very high.
The company also does not pay much attention to TV series...
Originally, there is a film industry in movies, and does TV series have a TV series industry in TV series?
TV series itself is popular, popular, purely commercial. If we simply talk about the return on investment, TV series will obviously be more stable. After all, Huiwen can attract several young actors and Xiaohua will be the starring actors at any time. However, whether we admit it or not, the status of TV series is lower than that of movies!
Even in the United States, where American dramas have become more and more powerful in recent years, what everyone hears more is a certain actor and actress joining American dramas, but rarely hears pure American drama actors become superstars George Clooney, and Little Little is an exception...
This is even more true in China. In short, movies seem more stylish than TV series!
Moreover, Huiwen itself has many good film resources, and its directors are rarely willing to shoot TV series. Few film directors who have achieved certain achievements condescend to film TV series!
Currently, Huiwen has only one TV series director. Tian Yusheng, who became famous for filming "Please Answer 1997". He has successfully found a position in the film industry through "My Girls' Generation". In addition to "Please Answer 1994", he also has his own series "Ex-Strategy" series to be prepared. It is estimated that after "Ex-Strategy" is released, she is not willing to shoot TV series!
This is very embarrassing.
It not only means that the "Please Answer" series needs to be re-designed, but also means that the company has a serious lack of directors in TV series...
Although the company does not attach too much importance to TV series, everyone knows that the return on investment of TV series is relatively stable and it is easier to promote newcomers!
Another important thing is that it is easy to develop a good relationship with the TV station every year!
TV stations have a great role. Whether it is promotional movies or daily public opinion guides, they are very important positions and cannot be lost just by saying that they are lost!
In the original time and space, Huayi has also released many TV series while defiling the film, with the purpose of maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the TV station...
What is the most important thing about a TV series?
script!
Compared with movies, the script of a TV series is more important, and it determines the height of a TV series!
The second is the director.
A script like "Ancient Love Song", let alone the trash filmed by Cai Jingsheng, who once directed "The Legend of Qin", even if Xu Hui came on stage, there was no way to save it...
Huiwen does not lack scripts, nor does it lacks good screenwriters.
So, the decision is to poach people!
Huiwen Tianxia’s brand is strong enough, famous enough, and not short of money. As long as they really make up their minds to poach people, it can be said that most domestic TV series production companies are powerless to resist!
However, they are more open and directly recruit auditions!
Whether you are experienced or just graduated, as long as you are reliable, hard-working, and as long as you can be favored by Huiwen, you will immediately sign a contract for selling your body... Bah, no, it is a labor contract, and you will pay all five insurances and one fund. If you do it well, promotion and salary increase are not a problem!
Therefore, Huiwen TV drama department started fishing for sand in the sea...
...
Huiwen Building, Chairman's Office.
Xu Hui looked through the annual box office report as of December, and it was a bit regrettable. As of now, the total box office in the mainland is only 18.5 billion, which is quite a gap from the 22 billion set by the Film Bureau at the beginning of the year. Although the New Year holiday has always been very strong, it is still a bit difficult to get a box office of 3.5 billion in one month!
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Xu Hui picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the tea, and then said, "I guess the goal this year will not be achieved!"
"Haha, it can be regarded as a heavy hammer for the rapidly growing Chinese-language films, so that everyone can understand that the film industry is still risky."
Ye Ning smiled.
Ning Hao also nodded: "But judging from the film list, small and medium-cost videos are indeed quite difficult!"
"This is normal. In addition to the quality of the movie itself, the most important thing that can be bought by the audience is promotion. Many movies with low cost are just a joke, two-day tour of the theater..."
"We mainly play "Die Renjie" during the New Year... Are you sure?"
Huang Wen, who has not appeared for a long time, said: "I looked at the effect and it was very good. I can't believe that this was made by a domestic special effects company!"
“…We are willing to spend money!”
Ye Ning added: "I heard that the special effects investment alone is as high as 120 million?"
Xu Hui calculated that "Die Renjie: The Empire of Tongtian" has an investment of nearly 180 million yuan, and it is basically used in special effects. The starring actors have very little money. Except for Da Tiantian, the actors in the company have signed share contracts.
"…Almost the main feature of the "Die Renjie" series is the effect. I want to make it a benchmark for Chinese film costume dramas!"
"But I heard that all the movies of Jing Tian are bad. Will it affect the box office and reputation?"
"It should be fine, she doesn't have many scenes..."
Paohui was not sure...
Da Tiantian has its own curse effect, I hope "Die Renjie" can withstand it!
“…Look at the opponent!”
""Drug War", "Four Famous Catchers 2", "Storm", "Private Customization", "Police Story 2013"... The opponent is very strong!"
“…Look at what movies are available during the Spring Festival?”
The schedule is quite tight, and Xu Hui took a look at the upcoming movie.
"Die Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" was originally scheduled to be released on December 27, avoiding "Private Customization" and "Police Story 2013", and also giving way to "Return".
Speaking of which, "Return" was released for about a week, with a cumulative box office of 200 million yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, the final box office should have exceeded 300 million yuan, which has broken the box office record of domestic literary and artistic movies...
Chapter completed!
