Chapter 456 Iron Er Wu Zai
Policies must be stable and cannot remain the same every year.
The disadvantages of dividing accounts according to the box office ladder were pointed out in advance by Cheng Yu'an, and the problem was posed to the leaders of the General Administration and the Ministry of Culture.
Tiered accounting currently seems to be the best solution, but splitting accounts based on time steps can easily lead to squeezed film schedules before the number of domestic screens has developed. Splitting accounts based on box office tiers is good for both distribution and theaters, but it will lead to policy changes.
Unstable.
The meeting lasted until 2 a.m., but in the end no specific solution was discussed.
When the meeting ended, everyone was worried. Some reporters squatting outside the film office wanted to come forward for an interview, but the representatives were unwilling to say anything more.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Cheng Yuan was in good spirits and came to the studio on time the next day to start filming.
During the lunch break, Zhong Lifang called me and cursed: "Huayi is really not a toy!"
"What's up with him?"
"He took the lead in this alliance, but he was the first to defect!"
"What's wrong?"
"News just broke, Huayi reached a tiered account sharing agreement with Wanda, Dadi, and New Film Alliance at the press conference of "1942". According to the 300 million box office, the distributor 43% and the theater chain 57%, more than
The box office portion of 300 million yuan will be divided according to 45% to 55%, and the box office of more than 800 million yuan will be divided according to 47% to 53%."
This is Iron 25 Chai!
He also wanted to cut off the supply to the theater chain and force him to split the account, but he couldn't hold it in and knelt down to the theater line.
After Huayi surrendered, Wang Changtian turned around and attended the Lunar New Year movie viewing seminar in theaters, semi-publicly betraying the company.
After Qin Hong learned that Huayi and Guangxian had surrendered one after another, she was so angry that she said on Weibo: "Life will always be a learning process. This incident has allowed me to learn and get to know you more deeply."
"The King's Feast" and "1942" are the leading actors in the Lunar New Year festival. This alliance is also led by Xingmei and Huayi. Now that Huayi has arranged for Tan Hong to join forces, Tan Hong was at a loss and had to rush to the theater.
surrender:
""The King's Feast" will first test the tiered accounting, with the first week's producers accounting for 43%, the second week's producers 41%, and the third week's producers 39% until the next film."
The feud between the two families was finally settled.
The entire "Avengers" fell apart like a piece of loose sand.
It became a joke.
Cheng Yu'an was very disappointed. He thought he could take this opportunity to promote the reform of account sharing, at least to conduct a pilot project during the Lunar New Year period. However, his suggestion was just put forward one night, and the superiors were still discussing it and had not yet reached a conclusion. Several pig teammates reacted within 10 hours.
.
"What can they do?" Cheng Yu'an was also very angry.
Although he participated in this matter with a gangster mentality from the beginning, he, including Zhong Lifang, Chen Zhixi, Guo Fei, and others all had a slight sense of luck.
What if!
What if this thing really happens!
Zhong Lifang said on her personal Weibo: "Interests are an effective glue for alliances, but without a common ideal and a desire to get things done, no matter how strong an alliance is, it will eventually fall apart because of interests."
This is why he got angry at Tong Liya on the set today: "You can't even finish such a simple scene. You've been living in vain for so many years!"
"If you can't perform, get out!"
Tong Liya admitted that she had just finished filming "When a Man Loves" with Brother Hu before the filming of "Old Father" started, and her current condition is a bit bad, but she is confident that it will not be so bad that Cheng Yu'an wants to change.
She knew that Cheng Yu'an would curse on the set, and she was prepared to be scolded, but she was dissatisfied when Cheng Yu'an scolded her for no reason.
Just as he was about to argue, Jiao Huang on the side said to Cheng Yu'an: "It's never smooth sailing when filming. Take your time. My little boy, you go and rest first. I'll walk with you again later."
Cheng Yu'an didn't want to be angry with Jiao Huang, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then sat on the director's chair to rest.
On the other hand, a group of people who came back from participating in the Golden Horse Awards in Bay Island had a fruitful trip.
Xue Xiaolu lived up to expectations and won the Best New Director.
With his outstanding performance in "A League of Thieves", Hu Ge won his first major performance award since his debut in the movie - the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor!
Hu Ge's role is actually a double male lead with Jackie Chan, but he was nominated for the Golden Horse Award as a supporting actor. This can be regarded as a little trick.
Liu Yifei did not come back and flew directly from Bay Island to the United States.
The company specially held a celebration party for Xue and Hu.
…………
On the 22nd, the eve of the Lunar New Year, Li An's "Life of Pi" was released in China.
It’s truly a masterpiece!
Ordinary viewers may only think of it as an ordinary adventure film. The light, shadow, color, and scenery in it are very beautiful.
But in the eyes of a more professional director, Li An explores human nature, animality, and divinity in this film.
Revealing the director’s speculations on philosophy and religion,
However, for such a grand proposition, the premiere box office was not very good. It was 400,000 at midnight, 11.3 million on the first day, and over 100 million in the first four days of the weekend.
It doesn't seem like an opponent worth paying attention to.
But you want to see who compares. Feng Xiaogang's "1942" kicked off the Lunar New Year season and grossed 26 million on its first day. "The King's Feast", which was released on the same day as him, was directed by Lu Chuan and grossed 8 million on its first day.
.
Lu Chuan also said: "It's not a shame."
Just like that, the media has the nerve to boast that "Pi", "1942", and "A Feast for the King" are three pillars of the show!
Among the three, "Life of Pi" performed the most stably, with a box office of around 20 million on weekdays, and 30 to 40 million on weekends.
This data doesn't look explosive at all. It's not as good as the data from Liu Yifei's "BJ Meets Seattle", but it's better because of the steady stream of income, which is like this every day.
"1942" grossed 137 million in four days in its first weekend.
According to the triple theory, the final box office of this movie is roughly around 400 million.
But the investment in "1942" was 210 million, and it would take 600 million to get the money back.
Huayi was really panicked.
"I told you not to make such an unflattering film, but I didn't listen!" Wang Zhonglei often complained in private about Feng Xiaogang's willfulness.
Don't think that the Wang brothers are blind and cannot see the good from the bad. As early as when the project of "1942" was initiated, Huayi internally believed that this film would not be a big hit.
It would be good to have a disaster movie during the Lunar New Year, if it was a disaster movie like Hollywood's.
But "1942" is about a historical tragedy.
It's like director Chen Kaige gritted his teeth and made his last movie "The Orphan of Zhao" for the 2011 Lunar New Year holiday.
Moreover, most people who experienced the famine are still there, how will they view this movie?
This is true. Old people who have experienced famine are still there, such as Cheng Yuan's two grandfathers.
They did not experience the famine in the movie, but they also escaped from it because of the war.
"I admire Director Feng's courage. This kind of movie needs people to make it. If it doesn't make it, the current audience will really forget this period of history. My grandfather hasn't been to the cinema for almost 20 years. Yes, they don't even see my movie.
Look, but yesterday he took the initiative to tell me that he wanted to see "1942". I think this is probably the meaning of a movie like "1942"."
It is rare for Cheng Yu'an to post a Weibo platform for a rival movie.
He really likes the movie "1942".
This movie was in the wrong schedule. It had a good reputation, but it didn't do well at the box office.
And the encounter is the same as in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins":
Chapter completed!
