Chapter 46: Filmmakers' Sense of Social Responsibility (1/5)
Suddenly I remembered a rumor. It is said that Zhang Guorong came to the mainland for an interview. The person next to him reminded him that this was CCTV. He replied, "So, you can't swear, right?"
Lu Xiaoran also wants to pretend to be this...
But this does not fit his character...
So, it's a question and answer.
"Let's talk about your feelings about winning the award first."
"…I'm very happy, after all, I've been nominated, so I must have thought about winning the award."
“How to celebrate?”
"Celebration? I've been working for the past eight years. In fact, the winning of Gravity is just an episode of five major projects that we launched at the same time. Because of this awards season, we had to pause the shooting of another movie. So, after returning home, I gave myself two days off and then, continue making movies! This is a planned plan, nothing can change."
"What is the theme of the new work?"
"It is a work about anti-trafficking, adapted from real events, and the inspiration comes from a report I have seen. I always believe that filmmakers, especially filmmakers with a certain status, should still bear some sense of social responsibility!"
"What do you think is the reason they gave you the award?"
"Maybe I think "George" is in line with their aesthetic taste!"
hehe…
The real reason is probably because the money ability public relations team exposed each of the 78 judges a box of exquisite Blu-ray DVDs, and of course the gifts included: the gifts include a box of Oaxaca dark chocolate and an exquisite celebrity film...
This is Harvey who learns.
And compared to Harvey's big money, the PR team's approach is really stingy...
Everyone knows that Harvey is a PR master, with 303 nominations for Oscars. In fact, his most awesome record is the Golden Globe Award. He really gives Rolex to every judge!
Of course, the premise is that "Gravity" is really good, otherwise, even if you give each judge a house, "Dream Chasing Entertainment Circle" is still a bad movie...
"Then the Oscars are coming soon. Do you think you have hope?"
Director Lu's face became serious: "I want to emphasize this. The Oscars and the Golden Globes are completely different concepts... and according to the union award, it is basically unlikely that I will win the Oscars..."
This must be emphasized. Lu Xiaoran’s fans have been very rampant recently, and they feel like they are the only one in the world...
You just say a few words of disagreement and you will be knocked down immediately...
The rules of the fan circle are terrible. Once you become the one who supports one person, there will definitely be another group of people opposing it!
When the idol is fucked, a group of people will immediately jump out to mock him, saying, "Do you regret it?" in a wise tone?
Sometimes it's really hopeless...
Is it that difficult to just talk about things?
Yang Xiaomi did bring us a lot of happiness when she was young!
Only someone is right is unavailable!
The last question is about the movie market. He asked whether the traffic star + big IP model is feasible. Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "Things like movies cannot be patterned, nor can there be shortcuts, because once there is a shortcut, the shortcut will soon become the only way."
"Okay, thank you director..."
...
The interview team left, Tangtang walked out of another room, a little depressed: "Do we have no chance at all?"
"Of course there is a chance, and in terms of probability, everyone has a 20% chance."
Of the five nominations, one of them will definitely win the award...
There are always people who win the championship, why not me?
Of course, Director Lu can say this, but the form is here...
"Okay, I've been thinking so much, our established goal has been achieved..."
"Return to China tomorrow?"
"Well, it's not interesting to stay here anyway... By the way, have you received any script?"
“…There are many, but they are all so-called roles. No wonder Mr. Gong Li said, ‘Hollywood does not respect Asians’…”
"Then do you want to answer?"
"...I don't really want to do it, I'll continue to be my supervisor..."
"Actually, Wan Ziren has plans to prepare a project with pure Asian actors called "Crazy Richmond". If you are interested..."
"What is the plot?"
"The original work is called "Crazy Rich Asians", which is the rich Asians that Americans imagine..."
Tangtang was stunned for a moment: "Crazy Rich Asians"? Is it alluding to Wang Tear Onion?"
"You're thinking too much, you can search for the documentary "Million Wedding Planners", which is the life of rich people..."
After thinking about it, he added: "Just look, let's not learn!"
"My wedding should be warm, not luxurious!"
"... So behaved! I have prepared 200 million yuan. You can spend as much as you can. The rest will be donated in the name of our marriage!"
"OK!"
...
The film market in January continued the sluggishness of December...
The difference is that there are Hollywood blockbusters this month.
"The Hobbit 3", "Museum Night 3"...
The box office of "Love Saint" surpassed "One Step Away", with the latter's total box office not reaching 550 million, while the former's total box office exceeded 600 million...
Compared with the production cost of 45 million, it can definitely be called a dark horse.
Orange released another animated film "Hundred Thousand Jokes", with a cumulative box office of 150 million, which is a very good income...
These are not the key points, the key points are that the report on "Variety Show" was released. In 2014, "George" ranked among the top ten of the year. Among the top ten in the box office, 4 are superhero movies, 6 are sequels, and 9 are all well-known IP adaptations. Only one "George" is an original movie...
I thought this was over, and then another movie, "Treasure Hunters", had a global box office of US$270 million, and it also successfully ranked among the top 20...
There is no way, North America suffered a cooling last year, and the 20th place in the global box office was originally the 362.3 million yuan of "The Lost Love"...
Now I've been squeezed out by "Treasure Hunters"...
Not only that, Orange Manufacturing produced and released "Fifty Degrees of Black" is US$260 million worldwide, "Hot Police Flower" is US$232 million worldwide, "Female Spy", US$280 million, and even "Taking Tiger Mountain" is among the top 50 in the world...
The results of full bloom are eye-catching!
The results are here, and the market cannot turn a blind eye. So Lu Xiaoran just returned to China and learned that the market value of Orange Image is approaching the 200 billion level...
His first reaction, damn, what a joke;
The second reaction was that it was so miserable. When the cold winter period of film and television arrived, the market value would shrink by at least two-thirds...
The market value of film and television companies is based on the size of the entertainment sector. Generally speaking, the market value is ten times the profit, which is considered a relatively high level.
The situation is a bit crazy now...
According to the Big Golden Retriever, the Wanda Movie with the highest market value of only 40 billion in several media companies listed in 2019...
