The market development ideas provided by Wang Shang were quickly transformed into reality.
This idea will not bring any negative things to the theaters. The theaters that the production company is worried about do not have to worry. And there are many advantages: adding more movies can make the film schedule closer and effectively utilize various
The film arrangement space can effectively reduce cost waste, optimize resource allocation, and at the same time attract more movie fans to become frequent visitors to the cinema. Why not.
Theaters quickly issued relevant statements expressing their support for low-ticket movies.
The expert group formed by the Magic City Film and Television Alliance analyzed the plan and felt that there was much room for improvement. Although some production companies opposed it, a plan was finally adopted - each film production company is free to set the film's settings.
Movie ticket prices.
However, the biggest role of the Magic City Film and Television Alliance is not to determine the plan, but to apply for tax rebates and even financial subsidies from the National Film Department.
Soon, an application for "Stimulating the Domestic Film Market" was submitted to the national leaders, which detailed the per capita economic level of China and the United States, the level of the film industry, and the current difficulties...
As one of the important forces in the Chinese film industry, the influence of the Magic City Film and Television Alliance can be said to be strong at the national level, especially with Tianwang Film and Television Company, a powerful tool to enter the international market. Therefore, there is still hope that this application will be approved.
Tax rebates have always been an important force for the government to stimulate a certain economy. And fiscal subsidy policies are even more powerful tools. However, it is estimated that it will be difficult to apply for these two items.

A week later, the internal reference was submitted to the desk of Chief No. 1 after multiple reviews.
"The little guy is struggling again??" Chief No. 1 smiled, with a gentle face. Although he is usually very majestic, he is also a small movie lover, and Wang Shangkai's several movies "Biochemical Armageddon" and "Speed"
He has read both "Passion" and "Passion" and feels very good about them. Of course, what makes him satisfied are the results it has achieved.
Director No. 1 turned to look at his secretary and asked: "I heard that the box office of "Fast and Furious 2" has now reached 900 million US dollars, is that right?"
When the secretary heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly said: "Yes, such a news was published in the newspaper the day before yesterday."
The secretary was rejoicing: Fortunately, I recently learned that the leader was paying attention to the movie during this period, so I paid a little attention to it. At this time, the leader asked and was able to answer it.
Chief No. 1 smiled broadly: "Okay, make some face for our country. Not bad."
"But it's a pity that he has never made a literary film. I still prefer literary films."
Then he looked at the submitted application carefully.
"The United States has imposed such restrictions, which shows that our country's movies have begun to threaten them, and they are afraid. However, the development of the domestic market mentioned in the report is quite right."
Although Director No. 1 is paying attention to the domestic film industry, he does not understand it too deeply. This detailed data allows him to see that the domestic film market still has a huge treasure that has yet to be developed.
"When the domestic foundation is laid, domestic films will be able to impact major foreign film markets and promote Chinese culture to the world." This is what touches the hearts of leaders the most.
However, when he saw that he needed to apply for tax rebates and financial subsidies, the No. 1 director immediately laughed and scolded: "I dare to say that tax refunds are okay. But financial subsidies are a bit more difficult. Send this document to other leaders,
Then discuss it as a group.”
On June 25, the central government finally issued a document: "For movies released with lower ticket prices, box office taxes will be exempted and certain subsidies will be provided in other aspects."
Of course, at the back of the document, there are also a series of incentives and support plans for low-priced movies, such as relaxing censorship restrictions and so on.
As soon as the document came out, countless filmmakers immediately cheered: "The country is awesome!!"
Various media have also reported: "We are expected to see 5 yuan/10 yuan movies released in cinemas by the end of this year or next year!"
"Movie fans with financial difficulties can also enjoy the stunning audio-visual experience of the big screen, and no longer have to worry about expensive movie tickets."
"This is good news for movie fans."
Suddenly, many production companies have changed their film investment plans for this year and diverted part of their funds to invest in low-cost films.
Countries are affirming this approach, which means there is no problem with this method.
There is a saying in society: If you understand national policies thoroughly, you can become a rich man. National policies have always played a decisive role in the national economy, and a 100% market economy is completely impossible.
After seeing the national document, those film and television alliances that were originally wavering also changed their strategies and began to pay attention to it.
However, no one has dared to test the waters yet. They are all waiting for Tianwang Film and Television Company and that 'madman' Wang Shang to take the lead. If it is really successful, they will start to follow up.
——————
Wang Shang looked at the 15 movie scripts and investment plans placed on his desk and smiled.
These movies are all low-budget movies, with the production cost of each one not exceeding 10 million, but Wang Shang is confident that they can achieve high box office.
Because these movie scripts were carefully selected by Wang Shang, and some of them were written by the screenwriting team based on suggestions given by Wang Shang.
""Nightclub" plans to invest 3 million yuan, priced at 10 yuan, and is expected to have a box office of more than 50 million yuan."
""Crazy Stone" plans to invest 3 million, priced at 10 yuan, and is expected to have a box office of more than 50 million."
""Midnight Taxi": planned investment of 3 million, price of 10 yuan, estimated box office of more than 50 million."
""People on the Road": Planned investment is 8 million, price is 20 yuan, and box office is expected to be more than 80 million."
""If You Are the One" plans to invest 10 million yuan, priced at 20 yuan, and is expected to have a box office of more than 100 million yuan."
These are all movies that Wang Shang came up with, and the screenwriter will also have Wang Shang's name on them. They are all typical cases of small investment and big box office in the past time and space.
What is very conspicuous is that, except for "Midnight Taxi", which is a horror film, all of them are comedy films. This is because it is easier for small-cost comedy films to obtain high box office, and the director's level requirements are not as high as those of other films.
.
If it were to be a literary film, unless it was particularly good, it would definitely be the kind of film that would hit the street.
However, in addition to these movies targeting domestic movie fans, Wang Shang also asked the screenwriting team to make two movies targeting foreign markets, especially the North American market.
""Home Alone" plans to invest 50 million and plans to release it globally."
""The Hangover": Plans to invest 50 million and plan to release it worldwide."
These two movies cannot be made at a low cost because they have to deal with moviegoers in North America who have experienced good movies.
Movies that could sell well in the previous time and space must not be bad in this time and space.
In addition to these movies, there are 8 other movie scripts, all of which were self-written by Tianwang Film and Television Company during this period and received submissions. Wang Shang has already read them. They are very good, including romance films and comedies.
There are literary films.
Wang Shang looked at the investment budget and market analysis of the entire plan and approved it directly.
The reason why Wang Shang released so many successful movies in time and space at once was to support his own market development argument. As long as these movies are successful, Wang Shang can blatantly say: "Look, what I said is right, small cost
You can still get big sales.”
Guaranteed to leave those people speechless.
On June 28, Tianwang Film and Television Company was ahead of the national production companies and took the lead in proposing a low-ticket movie investment plan!
15 movies were released at once. Except for two foreign films, the total investment in the other 13 movies was less than 100 million yuan, which was less than one-fifth of the investment in "Fast and Furious 2".
The plan details the content summary of each movie, as well as customized ticket prices.
The media immediately followed up with reports: "Tianwang Film and Television Company announced a low-ticket movie plan and will officially meet with movie fans at the end of this year!"
"Are the pioneers in the film market confident or foolish and bold?"
"Once successful, this will be a revolution in the domestic film market."
For a time, Chinese domestic films began to diverge.
Wang Shang's move seemed so confident that many production companies were surprised.
Blockbuster plans are still fierce, and production investment is getting bigger and bigger, such as "Fast and Furious 3". Although the specific funding plan has not been announced, it is definitely indispensable according to the prediction of 600 million yuan. If the outside world knows the cost of "Transformers"
The investment budget will shock countless people even more.
At this time, small-budget movies released in theaters were also attracted by Wang Shang and began to appear in large numbers.
