Last year, many celebrities came to an end one after another and began to reveal their achievements in the business world to the outside world. Thanks to their huge fame, few lost their money. Because the momentum was so great, the "Nandu" newspaper claimed
:
"This is the year of the 'celebrity entrepreneur,' literally."
The reason why Jiujiang Zhang acted in a chick film for the first time was because she thought the film would make money and planned to embezzle the money elsewhere. During her days in Hollywood, Jiujiang Zhang came into contact with the Chinese people in Hollywood through Ji Ling's matchmaking
Wives group, such as the wife of Rupert Murdoch’s media boss and the wife of a certain TV station director.
The three of them teamed up, had technology, funds, and channels, and were determined to make a film that would prove their strength. In order to gain enough voice, International Chapter also invested its capital, contributing both technology and funds.
At the same time, she also learned from Li Yapeng and invested in a certain real estate project in Beijing, with at least 40 million.
It's a pity that due to unforeseen circumstances, I fell down at the first step.
This year was also a year of joint ventures between Hong Kong and Mainland China. The movie "Painted Skin" starring Chen Kun grossed 200 million yuan, and the box office was basically contributed by the mainland. It proved the box office appeal of mainland niche actors and made people in the industry pay attention.
They believe that there is a formula now. A Hong Kong production team, young talents with a fan base in the mainland, and overwhelming marketing are the withdrawal codes that can make money.
Thanks to Chen Kun's first move, many young actors have been offered roles in movies produced by Hong Kong and mainland teams, and they are the protagonists, which seems to have opened up this invisible barrier. Fang Yi once again refused the invitation to "The Grandmaster", and the Sunglasses King chose to wait, and
The management actually let the sunglasses king wait, not thinking that he was messing around this time.
Capital doesn't really care about the differences between Hong Kong and Mainland China or cultural heritage. Whoever makes money for them will be their favorite.
In Fang Yi's studio in Beijing, young directors Guo Fan and Li Yang came to visit Fang Yi.
They heard Fang Yi chatting with his agent. Fang Yi counted on his fingers:
"Chen Kaige, Feng Dapao, and Jiang Wen all have films to be released, and they were released at the same time - last year was a disastrous year for domestic films. There is nothing to say. The only thing in the annual report of China Film Group can be used as a withering flower.
It's the overseas box office of "Under the Red Cliff" and "Love Is Here to Come"... But this year is very different, and everyone is holding their breath."
"Can we be extremely successful? We can't be inferior to others for two consecutive years."
At the end of last year, "Avatar", a blockbuster visual effects masterpiece that could go down in film history, was released, raking in more than 1.4 billion in box office in the mainland. Twelve years ago, the director's movie "Titanic" hit a box office of 360 million.
More than a hundred stars organized various public institutions and institutions to book the theater to watch "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" for its release, which cost 400 million yuan, thus getting rid of the embarrassment that foreigners ranked first in the film and television box office.
However, who could have imagined that three months later, it would take the shape of someone else again. 1.4 billion is more than three times as much as 400 million. Even southern newspapers like "Nandu" fell silent and pinned their hopes on
As for Guoshi, I think he can be a hero in domestic movies like "Hero" back then.
It leaves a little hope for the domestic film market at the end of the year.
However, the answer sheet handed over by the National Preceptor was "Three Guns and a Surprise".
This kind of pessimism has spread to this year. The China Film Group has gone all out and vowed to pile up the total box office. The third master will pay for all the movies that sell well and name them all. The original tricks used to deal with Hollywood are no longer available.
Once installed, it will inevitably be suppressed until pirated film sources leak out on the Internet.
It is difficult to deal with Hollywood. If we learn from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the free and open market will change the movie-watching habits of a generation.
Or like South Korea or China: it has its own national conditions.
This joking joke made Guo Fan and Li Yang laugh outside. They heard Fang Yi's voice: "Come in."
"Who is this?"
It's Guo Fan.
Guo Fan wears large black-rimmed glasses, a beard, and a hoodie. He introduced to Fang Yi, "I am a directing graduate student in the Beijing Film Management Department. I work with Li Yang. He is responsible for writing scripts and making animations. I
Try to turn it into a real person and make a short movie."
Fang Yi looked at Li Yang, who said, "He is quite talented. This is not the first time he has been a director. He is considered a veteran... He has also worked as a director for Travel TV and as a cartoonist, and his works have been exported to the UK.
It was because of this exhibition that I got to know him."
Guo Fan is older than Fang Yi, but very humble, "I have admired you, Mr. Fang, for a long time. You have a very good reputation in the industry."
After chatting for a few more words, we got to the main topic.
The two of them came here to ask for money. After the success of the micro-film, Souhu began to treat it as a serious matter and organized a series of micro-film prize-winning competitions - purchasing the copyrights of existing blockbusters. After all,
too expensive.
Among the current domestic video websites, no one is rich enough to buy all the movies. They can only select the best and produce their own content. The "Copyright Protection Law" being drafted by Shangfeng has already been circulated, and those with the ability are preparing in advance.
Pick goods.
Li Yang's book "The Adventures of Li Xianji" did not pass the test of Souhu because it is a cartoon, and Souhu is a high-quality website for American and British dramas, and he only has so many resources.
Cartoons are considered to be the stuff of lower-class people.
At this time, Yangtao Video Network mainly focused on animation, including several major migrant cartoons including Naruto. They extended an olive branch to Li Yang, but Li Yang was more willing to cooperate with the most professional people.
"Making cartoons inherently loses money. The more you are an individual, the more you lose money... because there is no way to cash in on the goodwill of the audience. Only big companies, such as Disney, sell toys and theme park tickets.
By selling the image rights, they can produce cartoons regardless of cost."
"We were a one-time deal, and it was over after the audience watched it, but it was supposed to be a steady stream."
The two people also had their own understandings and each said something. In fact, everyone is smart, but they just don’t have the money to realize their own smartness. Zhang Chaoyang said it well, “Luck is sometimes the first factor in success.”
He burned incense, worshiped Buddha and studied Zen all day long, and was also driven by this mentality.
Fang Yi asked: "How much does it cost?"
Li Yang did not say the specific amount, but said, "Tudou.com gave us 500,000 at that time. I roughly calculated that it was barely enough."
"I'll give you twice as much, but there are conditions. The right to broadcast this film is mine... I'm not asking you to act like a gunman and write a script for me, claiming that you are my director. It's just the right to broadcast it. I might use it."
"Since you have paid for it, this is also the rule."
Li Yang and Guo Fan looked at each other, and the latter tentatively said, "I also want to try a real person... Can't I just..."
"Okay, just ask me first."
The two of them looked at each other again, without hesitation for a long time, and almost agreed at the same time. After leaving Fang Yi Studio, Guo Fan looked back at the building. It looked unprepossessing. Like the famous Huaxia Film and Television, as an asset-light company, it was a one-story building.
The office is enough to create hundreds of millions in output value.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com
Li Yang said, "Guo Fan, aren't you looking for Fang Yi to star in your movie? Although he most likely won't go... His identity is there, but so what if you ask him. If you ask him normally, he won't.
Came to mock you."
"For Fang Yi to be the best actor at such a young age, he still has his principles as a human being."
Guo Fan said, "It seems that there is no chance. He defines himself more as a director. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to persuade him to help others. I am not qualified yet."
"How do you know? He can be an actor or a director."
Guo Fan used a declarative tone to talk about his colleagues: "Chen Kaige, Feng Dapao, Jiang Wen..."
"Chen Kaige, Feng Dapao, Jiang Wen..."
I read it twice in a row.
Li Yang understood, "Oh, if you have the mentality of an actor, you won't call him by his first name in private. Even the most famous actor will add the word 'director' at the end."
"As expected, you are also a director."
They rubbed their fists against each other, "Although we have no money and are asking for help, we are directors with a bright future."
Guo Fan added, "However, I must cooperate with Fang Yi once in my life."
