Chapter 296 Bad News (4/6)
In fact, in the past two years, the sixth generation has been very honest and has not made any trouble.
Even though "Destiny" was banned, Jia Zhangke just complained on Weibo, returning to the underground...
Wang Xiaoshuai has no one to pay attention to him...
But this time he spoke directly at the China-French soft power forum. First, he said: In 2003, the box office of "Green Tea" was only 4 million, and the box office of "Jade Guanyin" was only 5 million; in 2005, the box office of "Kokexili" was 5 million; in 2005, the box office of "Qinghong" was only 3.7 million, and the box office of "The Good Man in Three Gorges" was only 2 million... In 2012, the box office of "I 11" was 4.8 million.
He said that the box office of these non-selling movies was basically stable, or even slightly lower. On the contrary, the box office of more popular movies grew rapidly.
Then all this is attributed to the ‘drama chains do not schedule films’!
‘In China, domestic films are no longer "related to movies", but are pan-marketized and pan-entertainment.’
‘When talking about the French film market, he said enviously that France has a population of about 65 million, but it has 5,000 screens, of which 2,000 must be used for art movies. The country will also pay subsidies for these cinemas that specialize in playing art movies. He hopes that China can learn from France’s experience and promote the development of Chinese art movies.’
Then it was scolded to the hot search...
"You are so envious, just immigrate to France!"
Of course, more people are worried about whether the country will take action to support art films...
I think too much. From the perspective of the theater system, Chinese cinemas are an almost brutal business model. Large shopping malls are implanted and the cost of renting land must rely on large audiences to make quick money, and consider products with the most snobbish perspective to make profits as soon as possible.
The current land transfer model does not have the possibility of establishing art theaters at all.
It is unlikely that the country will take action to build art theaters.
Let me put it this way, this stage is the best era for commercial films, and it is also the most bleak time for the so-called literary and artistic films...
Lu Wubai looked at these netizens scolding them in various ways, and found it particularly funny...
In the past, filmmakers needed to criticize him, but now, everyone can criticize him.
In fact, directors like him should have been eliminated.
After all, the box office represents the audience. The creation of art should serve the audience and change the audience, rather than working behind closed doors, saying that you don’t want to cater to mainstream audiences or something...
All excuses!
"why are you laughing?"
Lu Xiaoran looked up and said, "It's Zhong Lifang," he replied casually: "...It's nothing, I just think Weibo is very fun!"
"How to promote "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy"?"
"…What else can I do? Smash publicity and hard marketing!"
"Or what if the last issue of "Running Man"?"
"Well, let them go, I won't go!"
"Why?"
"I am a director, not a part-time actor, so it's not appropriate to be on such a show!"
"...But you are the selling point of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"!"
Lu Xiaoran put down his phone: "Why do you suddenly care so much about "Taking Tiger Mountain in Wisdom"?"
"The co-distribution of "Journey to the West: The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" is Hengdian Film and Television, Wanda Film and Television... They are beneficial to the screening!"
Before Lu Xiaoran could speak, Zhong Lifang continued: "The IP of "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" is an old thing decades ago, and its popularity is not as good as Journey to the West..."
"…Ko Xiaofeng said that "The Great Trouble in Heaven" is a bad movie."
Orange is close to 1,000 screens, not a joke. It is one of the eight major theater chains in the mainland. Every time there is a theater preview, it will be invited to participate...
After watching "The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace", Xiaofeng said to the deputy general manager Yuchen: "Yuchen, listen, next time you go watch a movie like this, go watch it!"
Yuchen thought he had watched too many "Gun Fire"...
"Is it rare for bad movies to sell? "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" is our first battle in the Spring Festival period, and we cannot lose it."
"Then I can't play Running Man!"
That's right, Lu Xiaoran is a 50 billion-dollar tycoon, so it's really inappropriate to ask him to go to a show like Running Man.
"Then let's...I'll answer the phone..."
Zhong Lifang was also preparing to continue to persuade Director Lu, but her cell phone rang, and then after hearing the first sentence, her face immediately changed...
"What's wrong?"
"Big Dog Brother... is gone!"
"Leaving? What does it mean?"
“…”
“…Not, why?”
"My mind is a little confused. I'll learn about the situation first..."
Not only Zhong Lifang was panicked, but also Lu Xiaoran was panicked. He trembled and dialed Ning Hao's phone number, and the latter said, I'll go back to Beijing immediately...
...
Lu Xiaoran's first nobleman was Ning Hao, and the second was Li Dagou!
Li Dagou is a very charming person!
Generally, bosses of large companies will be very careful about the company's projects. If you find a director, you will not be assured of anything except repeatedly discussing conditions with you. You should intervene in the direction of the script and discuss what actors to use...
The problem often lies here, which means that the creator has no freedom of creation. If a film is done well, then everyone will be fine. If it is broken, who will be the one?
Big Dog is different. Big Dog treats his contracted directors and screenwriters like his family and brothers. For example, Lan Xiaolong and Ning Caishen are not just screenwriters.
As long as he trusts anyone, he will give the project full rights to the other party, set an investment, and issue you a reward clause. Everything else is your business, which is equivalent to being the producer and producer of the entire project.
Responsible for operating all processes, deciding directors, deciding actors, and deciding distribution. When all the responsibilities are placed on the director, no one will be tired of it. He will do everything well and do nothing in one sentence.
If the works that are successful will be rewarded; if the works that are successful will not be successful, the big dog will not complain and will continue to support you.
It is said to be "inaction", but it is actually not "inaction".
From how to coordinate schedules from celebrity casts to small extras, as long as you need a big dog, he will definitely help you solve all problems.
After this analysis, do you think it is exactly the same as Lu Xiaoran?
When Lu Wubai was managing a movie project, he was really Li Dagou who studied!
Unfortunately, Big Dog Brother lacks an auxiliary device like Big Golden Retriever!
...
Lu Xiaoran hasn't come to Xiaoma for several years.
Since the cooperation with Xiaoma has ended, and last year, Orange took over the filming rights of "Operation Mekong" - it was originally a project of Xiaoma's Prand Teng...
Zhong Lifang explained this to Big Dog Brother, saying that it would be a bit difficult for Xiaoma to operate such a project.
The main thing is that I blame Lu Xiaoran. He wants to try the shooting method of action movies. Xiao Ma Ding's director is Gao Qunshu. Of course, Jindun Film and Television is more willing to believe Lu Xiaoran...
There are few recognized good projects in the market.
Huayi loses money every year except Feng Xiaogang's works!
Xiao Ma was particularly unhappy this year. Last year, there were some small-money movies like "Happiness Load". This year, four dramas "The Female Paw", "Better Village Night", "The City", and "Happy Superman" all suffered a crushing box office defeat...
Funding encountered problems at one time!
This is not counting. Li Ming had previously signed a "Investment Supplementary Agreement" (i.e., "Gambling Agreement") in his personal name. Xiao Ma Ben Teng promised the investor that the company would be happy if it went public before December 31, 2013. If it fails, it will not only be compensated for the 450 million yuan invested by the investor, but also pay high interest.
Unfortunately, the performance is poor, and the backer is knocked down, Xiaoma failed to pass the iPo review...
Not only that, Li Ming died suddenly due to a sudden myocardial infarction at the age of 47...
Li Dagou is the soul of the little horse running vine. He fell down, which basically means that the little horse is finished...
His main work in the company is still the screenwriter, the construction and development of the director team. Many directors and screenwriters contact him directly. What should I do if the horse gallops after his death?
How can I run to the vine?
