Chapter 31 Not Enough? (3/5)
It's strange to say that a few years ago, everyone was talking about who entered Hollywood...
Now, on the other hand, everyone is talking about the domestic market.
The reason is very simple. The domestic market is enough for everyone to eat, so there is no need to focus on the overseas market...
The most important Chinese market has a price-to-earnings ratio far exceeding the global average. After Bona went public in the United States, its market value has remained stable at around US$1 billion, far less than glamorous. Dongyang Media, let alone Yuehua!
...
The topic then shifted to 'box office is about to be super beautiful and become the 'boss''.
Ang Lee said: "I am the martial arts director Yuan Heping who is filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He can't sleep even if he takes two sleeping pills every day because he wants to innovate. But people only have two arms and two legs. How to innovate? Audiences are prone to fatigue, and the audience will be so tired that they don't want to watch the movie. It's so difficult for you to pull the audience to the theater. Of course, the market is good now, and I won't think it's all about copper. Because the movie has vitality, it's a good thing. But it cannot be ignored. The audience's negative fatigue is growing."
"We now say that we can surpass the box office in the United States. If we have too many people, we can certainly surpass it."
"I grew up watching American movies and admire them. Their popular culture is very powerful. We need to figure out what this power is. Chinese culture is much older than American culture. Oriental nations have their own feelings and expressions, but they have not become the world language yet. Don't think about it with the plundering market, but think about what it can provide to the world. This world is not about being a hero, and the world becomes a Disneyland. We need to find a way, and you need to enrich yourself in your inner world, and everyone can understand the common language. It is natural for you to leave the whole world at this time."
Zhang Junsheng glanced at Tang Ningyu, who was thinking...
Taken the topic: "Actually, I have discussed this issue with the company. Everyone says that the market is so good, of course you have to strike while the iron is hot and you have to produce more works..."
"I think we should take this opportunity to settle down. Starting next year, I will arrange a group of people to study in the United States and learn their industrial processes."
Ang Lee took over: "The Hollywood homework method is indeed worth learning. For example, when I was filming "Lust and Caution", you have to do every job yourself, which is very tiring! But if you do Hollywood movies, you don't have to worry so much. They have professional staff and a dedicated person to take care of each one!"
Zhang Junsheng said even more rudely: "To a certain extent, mainland movies have deformities from production to market, and all kinds of weird things fill the screen. Lively, sensory stimulation, lust, and chasing glitz are all used strange tricks, and rare tricks are rare."
This is not just a problem with movies, but a common problem in Chinese society now. You are addicted to making quick money. It seems that you will not be able to make money in a few years...
Indeed, no one knows whether they can still make money in a few years. After all, the industry trends have been wave after wave, and they will not come back in the past.
It's a group anxiety!
The host's eyes turned: "...Are you talking about "Big Snake"?"
"Ahem... I don't refer to a certain movie specifically. I just want to give you a few advices. We have the largest market in the world, and the total market volume will obviously surpass any country! Young people should not be impetuous, learn basic skills well, and don't look down on technology. Technology serves people. Films are a whole, natural, healthy and diverse development. The ups and downs of the movie can continue, and don't bubble up all of a sudden."
Damn it, it won't be washed away...
Next year there will be "Tiny Times"...
Some people will definitely scold Zhang Junsheng.
...
On the first day, Beijing Electric promoted the news, then switched to Songjiang, accepted interviews from several media outlets, and interviewed by TV stations to maximize the exposure of Ang Lee!
After all, there are a lot of movies released during the New Year...
There are at least 30 new films this year for the New Year holiday. In addition to "Days Related to Youth", Dongyang Media also has "The Twelve Zodiac Signs" and Zhou Xing's "False School Viagra 2"...
Bona also has "Big Shanghai";
"Blood Drops" produced by Chen Kexin and directed by Liu Weiqiang;
Star Media and China Film Group support "The King's Feast"...
In addition, there are movies such as "My Husband Unreliable", "The Mistakes of Different Times", "The Inn of the Waste Village" and other movies;
By the way, Wang Jiawei also entered the New Year's Eve with the "Grand Master" that has been preparing for ten years...
Yuehua also has three movies, in addition to the high-profile "Boys Pi", there is also "Detective Chinatown", which is scheduled to be released on December 24.
There is also a movie called "Journey to the West: The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year...
I didn’t look for Zhen Zibang, but Qiu Jirong was also a group of mainland actors.
By the way, the "Journey to the West" series will take at least ten or eight years, so I signed a long-term contract with Qiu Jirong...
...
As of November 29, "Pi" won a box office of 260 million yuan in eight days of release, with an amazing reputation and attendance rate.
On the 29th, on the same day, "Days Related to Youth" produced by Ma Xiaokang and directed by Ye Jing was released!
On the day of the premiere, "Days Related to Youth" won a box office of 26 million with 38% of the screening.
This result is already very good if you are a general movie or a general director. You should know that Ang Lee's "Boyant Pi" has a box office of 18.29 million on the first day!
However, this is Ma Xiaokang's movie. Although he is directed by Ye Jing, when Dongyang Media promotes it, it focuses on Ma Xiaokang!
Compared with Ma Xiaokang's achievements in the past few years, 26 million is not enough to see!
Especially the volume of screenings is 10% higher than that of "Boys Pi", but the box office is not much different from it. "Boys Pi" has a box office of 22 million on the same day...
In fact, logic is that the investment of this drama is only 60 million, with a box office of 26 million on the first day, and a box office of nearly 90 million on the first weekend, and a box office of nearly 300 million in the final box office, which is enough to ensure the recovery of costs.
But it is not enough. According to the betting agreement, he will have to make at least 100 million this year!
According to the current situation, it is definitely not enough!
What should I do?
Continue to promote!
How to promote it? Of course it is to attract attention!
So, he fired!
Just cursing film critics and audiences on Weibo...
"Everyone tried his best to suppress this "Days Related to Youth" and tried his best to praise Ang Lee!"
"Do you guys understand movies? Criticizing "Days Related to Youth"? You think my things are not good, because you have no feelings."
As a result, the popularity of "Days Related to Youth" quickly increased, but this move is obviously not sexy enough...
Some netizens even left a message under his Weibo: It’s boring to scold the film critics. If you want to scold you, just ask for your name! If you learn from Zhang Junsheng, he dares to scold Dai Jinghua directly!
I might as well scold the theater. I wonder if your old movie is about to be launched? I didn’t even withdraw all other movies? I look down on anyone!
Tsk tsk, some people have this ability, and the whole world hates it when they open their mouths!
Chapter completed!
