This year’s National Day release is at least on paper the strongest it has ever been.

"Love at the Hawthorn Tree", "Jing Wu Fengyun·Chen Zhen", "Sword Rain", "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" plus Yuan Yuan's own "A Little Thing of First Love".

As a result, with remote intervention, "Inception" was released in mid-August to attract a wave of viewers, and "Suicide Squad" was released in early September. How do you let others play it?

The next four movies were released in late September and were not affected much, but "The Hawthorn Tree", which was released the earliest, was different.

For a romance film that cost 70 million, there is a lot of pressure to repay the money.

"The cost of the film is 70 million. I can tell him whatever he wants." Cheng Yu'an was entertaining Ning Hao and his group for tea at the company. When talking about the upcoming summer and National Day films, everyone obviously didn't believe Zhang Weiping's quotation.

"The actors are all newcomers and the team is an old one, so the cost is up to 17 million." Cheng Yu'an said, "I hired Liu Huohua and Li Xiaoran to shoot "The Notebook" at a cost of 13 million."

"Zhang Weiping must have received the money." Ning Hao has already finished filming "The Road to Misfortune". It is a simple film and the post-production is not complicated. It is planned to be released in December for the Lunar New Year.

"Do you think Zhang Yimou knew that Zhang Weiping received money?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"You should know, Director Zhang has been making movies all his life, and he can't even figure out such a simple cost issue. Who would believe it?" The person who spoke was one of the two young people brought by Ning Hao.

"Why didn't he say it?"

"I don't want to quarrel with each other," Cheng Yu'an understood. "After all, the two of them have been cooperating for more than ten years, and Zhang Yimou has the character of an old scalper. He won't make trouble if he is aggrieved and won't make a fuss until he has to."

Ning Hao looked at the film schedule at the back: "Isn't it too trivial for you to arrange the films like this? They are all low-cost productions."

"Any questions?"

"Look at what you have scheduled, "A Little Thing About First Love" is on the National Day schedule, with a pure lineup of newcomers; "On the Road" is on the Lunar New Year schedule in December, and the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" is on the Spring Festival schedule in January. Where can I watch them?

It can’t be sold well.”

"Look at them, this one has an investment of hundreds of millions, and that one has a big-name lineup. That looks really bluffing."

"No," Cheng Yu'an smiled, "If you want to make a blockbuster, you can prepare it yourself. The company doesn't want to give you money. The company's strategy this year is to bring out a few new people, and Han Yan just came out." "Dark Side"

Although it is a niche horror film, the achievement of domestic horror films exceeding 100 million yuan truly falls on Han Yan's shoulders.

With a cost of 5 million, it achieved a box office of 120 million, with a return on investment of 24 times, which is more terrifying than Cheng Yu'an's "Sniper Phone Booth" and Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone".

Ning Hao brought two people here today to introduce new people.

The training mechanism for new remote directors is very simple, that is, the old ones lead the new ones.

The old man serves as a supervisor or producer for the newcomer, or simply co-directs with the newcomer.

Ning Hao had introduced him before when he brought people here.

The younger one is named Tian Yusheng, who wrote "People on the Road to Misfortune", and the older one is named Xin Yukun, who was recommended by Wu Ershan from his advertising agency.

I don’t have much impression of Tian Yu’s promotion to Cheng Yu’an. I just remember that he was the director of the “Predecessor” series. The whole series had a good box office, but Cheng Yu’an was deeply impressed by Xin Yukun. “Maze of the Heart” and “Broken Silence” are both very good domestic productions.

Genre film.

Although the two films can only be said to be average in terms of directorial skills, they are better because of the well-organized stories and sincere performances by the actors. They are rare works of sincerity.

"I don't have any objections. I'll just work with the two assistant directors first. I'll just have to bring my own script to the company." No newbie is filmed as soon as he comes on board.

Finally, the two were assigned to serve as assistant directors in the upcoming "Eternal Number".

After settling the two of them, Ning Hao talked about "No Man's Land" again: "It's been almost a year and there's still no movement?"

Cheng Yu'an gave Ning Hao "People on the Road" to stop him from thinking about "No Man's Land". Unexpectedly, Ning Hao was quite persistent: "Don't even think about "No Man's Land" in the past two years."

Ning Hao just asked: "I thought of another story..."

Facts have proved that Cheng Yu'an was wrong. Ning Hao is now at the peak of his creation and has many ideas in his mind. He still came up with stories like "The Golden Robbery".

"In the end, a warehouse of gold was melted with aqua regia, and the protagonist joined the revolution. What do you think?"

"Not very good." Cheng Yu'an bluntly disliked the story of "The Golden Heist".

"This movie was made by others, but if you make a movie like this, you will definitely be scolded by the audience for regressing."

One sentence is enough, Ning Hao is not stupid.

The biggest problem with "The Golden Heist" is the aura of the protagonist.

Ning Hao's previous protagonists were all ordinary people. The pictures he filmed were all ordinary people laughing and cursing.

But "Golden Robbery" is different. Although the protagonist Xiao Dongbei is also a gangster at the bottom of society, Ning Hao cheats him, and he cheats too much.

Ning Hao created a drama of personal heroism in "The Golden Heist".

"Don't shoot this story, bring in a new person to do it, and you will be the producer," Cheng Yu'an said this out of consideration for Ning Hao's reputation.

Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it." I don't know if he heard it.

The few of them chatted for a while, and then Ning Hao took the others to leave.

After Ning Hao left, Cheng Yuan felt comfortable alone in the reception room. After drinking tea for a while, he was ready to leave.

"Yu'an, don't leave yet." Chen Zhixi came over and called him.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to tell you about the online ticket purchase for "Inception"."

The newly developed online ticket purchasing platform "Taopiao Piao" by Yuan Yuan Technology has been officially launched.

Relying on the power of remote media, Taopiaopiao has cooperated with dozens of large and small theaters including China Film Star, Wanda, and Yuan Qiu Jiahe.

Currently in the money-burning market, Yuan Yuan is not the only one doing online ticketing at the same time.

But fortunately, Weibo is a killer tool. Through the promotion of Weibo, Taopiaopiao is currently in a leading position in the domestic market.

"Didn't we agree early on that the film "Inception" will receive 17 million votes?"

"Inception" is released in two formats in China, regular 2D and IMAX. This time the ticket rebate is mainly focused on the IMAX screen.

With the appeal of Xiao Li and Liu Yifei in China, there is no need to worry too much about the schedule and attendance of "Inception" 2D. On the contrary, because the ticket price is slightly higher, IMAX will not be the first choice for viewers.

China Film Corporation subsidizes IMAX in order to further occupy the market.

"17 million, buckle and sosou." Chen Zhixi teased Director Han.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "Okay, it would be good if China Film can offer 17 million. How much can we offer here?"
