The movies that have been sold in recent years are all costume movies!

Because only ancient costume films can be made into big productions, from "Heroes" to "Ambush on Ten", "The Promise", "Night Banquet", and the "The Promise" that will be featured this year are all this way...

Therefore, Zhang Junsheng announced that he would film "A Chinese Ghost Story". Although the media didn't say anything, he knew very well that this film would definitely be hyped up with blockbusters again!

As a result, the big stars were useless!

Instead, he invested heavily in special effects...

This is very dangerous!

Everyone knows that special Hollywood blockbusters are popular, so why are we unwilling to spend money on special effects?

Would you rather spend this money on hiring big stars?

Because it's really hard to make money!

Original time and space, special effects geek, old monster Xu.

The old monster has a special liking for the IP "Shushan"!

"New Shushan Swordsman" dared to spend 20 million yuan in 1983, and the team hired was the team of "Star Wars"!

Then, the box office in Hong Kong was less than 15 million, and the box office in other places was even more terrible.

Those who know box office will know that this number is a big loss! That is, Jiahe releases it himself and the theater chain, otherwise... I guess Boss Zou can take a shower and go to bed.

The consequence of "New Shushan Swordsman" is that Xiangjiang filmmakers have eliminated the development space for special effects.

For them, this kind of technology with large investment returns is simply useless.

Including Yan Shilong and Hong Jinbao, countless actors use real fights, real jumps, and real adventures as publicity stunts.

This kind of dedication is indeed very difficult, but how could they not have thought that the technology would develop so quickly. A few years later, a "Jurassic Park" directly crushed them under special effects. Let them know what an industrial production is.

Recalling: ‘In 1993, "Jurassic Park" received 62 million yuan in Hong Kong, which was 22 million yuan higher than the Chinese-language film "Best Tang Bohu Points of Autumn Fragrance" in the year, ending more than ten years of local production and suppression of Western films in Hong Kong. The change of ownership alone is not fatal. What is fatal is that Hollywood special effects blocking the most important categories of Hong Kong movies, including husbands, martial arts, police and gangsters, and martial arts movies that pay the most attention to visual effects in comedy directly crushed and killed... Even the foreign sets in Southeast Asia gradually lost, losing market supply, and the Hong Kong movies were completely declining...

As a filmmaker with aspirations, Xu Laoqiu must be dissatisfied. So, in 2001, Xu Laoqiu made another film called "The Legend of Shushan" and invested more than 100 million yuan...

Where is the box office?

Less than 30 million...

Even if the copyright of another country was sold for millions of dollars, "The Legend of Shushan" still suffered a huge loss!

The shadow of the disastrous defeat in "The Legend of Shushan" made Xu Laoqiu dare not touch the costume theme for four years. Until the birth of "Seven Swords", Xu Laoqiu completely lost its reputation - "Seven Swords" has a huge reputation, and Xu Laoqiu almost fell to the bottom...

To be honest, if it weren't for "Die Renjie" by chance, or if the mainland market was booming, Xu Laoqiu would have been ruined...

These days, Xiangjiang is afraid to play special effects films, and mainland filmmakers are even more afraid!

The so-called big productions in those years were basically the promotion point, big directors and big stars!

What about "A Chinese Ghost Story"?

If you don’t even have a superstar, why can you win such a high box office?

In terms of box office, it exceeded 100 million in 5 days and 200 million in 14 days...

"Good Zi Foot Bath: The City is full of big girls" will be released for fifteen days, and the box office will only exceed 200 million...

Could it be that as long as the director’s surname is Zhang, the movie will be a big hit?

...

"What I admire most is that he has a precise vision, so why did he discover such a good schedule for the National Day holiday!"

Huang Zhongjun looked at the "Movie Report on Weekly" in his hand. There is no doubt that "A Chinese Ghost Story" accounted for 80% of the market last week...

In addition to the movie itself, Huang Zhongjun thinks that the National Day holiday will play a great role!

Original time and space, the National Day holiday was valued for the first time. It should be the release of "Painted Skin" and won more than 200 million box office in one fell swoop. Only then did the May Day holiday, Qingming Festival, Valentine's Day holiday, etc.

"What's the use of saying this now? Yuehua has already argued with us. We said that it will be released on December 20th, and they will be released on December 19th, and we will be withdrawn on December 27th, and they will also be withdrawn on December 26th..."

Huang Zhonglei was a little anxious...

After the pre-screening of "Assembly" was pre-showed, it won the bookings of four major banks, which was equivalent to giving away a box office of nearly 10 million yuan!

Originally, Dongyang Media has always been the first choice for political axe to take charge of the field, but the "Assembly" was politically correct, the war scenes were shocking, and Huang Shuo and Ye Jing activated all their energy...

Once the Beijing Circle is in a group, the energy that can burst out is still very powerful!

"Haha, they obviously want to compete with us for box office. It's okay, I believe in a well-off society!"

Huang Zhongjun was so leisurely that he picked up the teacup and took a sip...

"Brother, are you so calm? What should we do if Ye Jing surpasses this?"

"Don't we have the "Baby Plan"..."

"...Brother, do you know what kind of way you can do?"

"…What can I do? However, as an emerging cultural media company, we in Dongyang can receive a subsidy!"

This is true. Those who work in culture in this era basically have government subsidies!

Of course, this subsidy can be big or small, it depends on how you make the account! If you want to get more subsidies, you have to go public - Focus Media has received 3.2 billion government subsidies in five years...

The state's support for A-share listed companies is unimaginable...

Dongyang Media is the first company in the north to do film and television media. Shangfeng must establish a brand, and its funding is indispensable!

Two days ago, Wang Zhongjun did some calculations and by the time this year's subsidies were issued, Dongyang Media would have made a profit!

It has barely completed the three-year stage of listing...

"Big Name 2", just the patch advertising and implanted advertisements have already ensured the profitability of the movie. As long as it is released, it will be a net profit.

The situation is very good!

"Also, we have already negotiated with the Suzhou Tourism Bureau to cooperate in the development of the Dongyang Great World Theme Park!"

"...Brother, it's so tall!"

Huang Zhonglei certainly understood what Huang Zhongjun meant. Acquisition of land for the purpose of cultural development was at least half cheaper than normal bidding!

"Then do we still make movies?"

"Of course we have to continue doing it, we are a media company!"

...

It started to rain lightly in Yanjing City today.

I decorated the slightly gray Yanjing City...

When he got home, the first thing Zhang Junsheng did was to take a shower and sleep.

After more than 20 days of publicity journey, he understood why they said that roadshows were particularly difficult...

Once you set out, it is a journey of hungry, meals, thirsty, drinking, walking, and sleeping overnight. In order to rush to several more cinemas, the group of people on the roadshow often fly one day, or even two day, and it is common to appear in three cities on the same day.

For example, early in the morning of October 4, the "A Chinese Ghost Story" team set off from Hangzhou *zhou, flew to Shudu, went to six cinemas, ended the roadshow, and flew to Shenzhen again late that night... So when he woke up the next day, Zhang Junsheng spent a long time in bed to figure out where he was.

"Brother, get up and play with me..."

I couldn't sleep until I woke up naturally because of my wish, and was woken up by Zhang Baby...

"...You play by yourself. Brother is too tired. I'll sleep again... Forget it, I'll get up!"

I looked at the time and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon...
Chapter completed!
