The domestic film industry has developed extremely rapidly. As of 2015, excluding the three special administrative regions, there are more than 5,000 theaters and more than 25,000 screens across the country. The total box office for the year has reached 48 billion, accounting for 50% of the Asia-Pacific market.
The proportion and scale are second only to the United States.
In China, the three major theater chains, Wanlong, New Generation, and Meichen, share the main share of the film market. Among them, Wanlong alone has more than 400 theaters and is the well-deserved leader.
The profits brought by operating theater chains are quite astonishing. According to the domestic movie box office split ratio, of the 100 yuan box office, 5 yuan needs to be turned over to the film fund, 3.5 yuan in taxes and fees, and the remaining 91.5 yuan is paid to the theater.
The theater chain took away 45 yuan, leaving 15 yuan, leaving only 31.5 yuan for the producers and distributors.
This means that theater chains with large theater resources can share the most generous benefits.
Not only that, as the film market expands, theater chains with deep pockets have extended their tentacles to the forefront, forming a one-stop model of shooting, production, distribution and release, eating up everything from top to bottom.
Under such a situation, film and television production companies, large and small, are bound to be suppressed by theater chains, and the competition between them is very fierce. As an independent artist, Lu Chen wants to squeeze into this market, and you can imagine how difficult it is!
Lu Chen had to rely on a powerful production company, establish a good cooperative relationship with the three major theater chains, and then share most of the profits in order to gain a foothold.
And during this process, Lu Chen had to look at other people's eyes.
Of course, he doesn't need to do this. With his current popularity, there is no problem in being the leading actor in a certain movie.
Participating in filming and producing and publishing are two completely different things!
Lu Chen's ambition is obviously not satisfied with becoming the leading male character in the movie. He wants more.
Wan Xiaoquan's friend saw this and made the suggestion to go to Xiangjiang.
With the help of the new regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the support plan of the Hong Kong government, he was able to get a good starting point without any historical burden. Moreover, with the green channel, it would be much easier to distribute in the country.
Because it is as powerful as the three major theater chains, it has to bow to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
In addition, Xiangjiang's film and television industry has a very good foundation. There are many professionals in the industry, including directors, actors, videographers, makeup, props and other film and television related professionals. It has already formed a very mature operating system.
In addition, the salary of local actors in Hong Kong is generally lower than that in China. This is one of the main reasons why many actors in Hong Kong like to go to the mainland to film and appear on shows.
Of course, there are also disadvantages to developing in Xiangjiang, that is, the cultural and social atmosphere in Xiangjiang is quite different from that in the mainland. If you cannot adapt to it, you will lose more than you gain.
Finally, what Wan Xiaoquan's friend did not say clearly was that going to Xiangjiang to start a new business was the best choice for Wan Xiaoquan, because no one there would care about his past, which would make his life easier and more comfortable.
All these things made Lu Chen really excited.
The benefits of going to Xiangjiang are obvious. As for how to integrate into the local area of Xiangjiang, Lu Chen doesn't have a big problem.
He can speak fluent Cantonese.
Because Xu Bo is a native of Guangdong Province and can sing Cantonese songs very well, there is no barrier to communication with the Cantonese-speaking Xiangjiang people.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said to Wan Xiaoquan: "Teacher Wan, do you think this is good? I will register a film studio in Xiangjiang first, and then you will go over and help me support the stall and prepare for this movie.
?”
It is impossible for Lu Chen to start a company and make movies all at once. In fact, there are no pre-arrangements in his plans for this year. In the second half of the next year, he will release a new album and hold his own solo concert.
Nearly a year has passed since the release of Lu Chen's first album, My Deskmate of You, and many fans are eagerly looking forward to his second album.
In the past year, Lu Chen has also accumulated enough works, and there is no problem in releasing a new album.
Most importantly, he now owns a high-end recording studio and a professional music team.
If a new album is not released, when will we wait?
After releasing his second album, he will hold a solo concert at the end of the year, which will push his career as a singer to a new peak. This is also Lu Chen's plan.
There has always been a popular saying in the pop music world that singers who have not held a special concert are not considered real celebrities.
For example, Filia Chen has held almost countless concerts in the more than ten years since her debut. If she hadn't been filming with Lu Chen, she would have had a concert last year, and there has been no news until this year.
It is also imperative to hold concerts, and one concert alone is definitely not enough. Touring in several cities is a must!
With all these things, Lu Chen didn't have time to go to Xiangjiang to prepare a film studio, and Lu Xi didn't have time either.
But if you miss this opportunity now, if there are any changes in policy in the future, it will be too late to make plans by then. The so-called opportunity cannot be missed and will not come back again!
In this case, it is undoubtedly a good choice to invite Wan Xiaoquan to come out. Let him go to Xiangjiang first to get acquainted with the local situation, recruit useful talents, and seize the trap. It will be much easier for Lu Chen to go there then.
.
Treating others with sincerity, Lu Chen clearly stated his thoughts to Wan Xiaoquan.
As for his choice, Lu Chen would respect it.
Wan Xiaoquan did not hesitate, he only learned to cherish after losing. This opportunity to go to Xiangjiang to start a new business is both an opportunity and a challenge for him. He may face various difficulties, but that is precisely the meaning of life.
The most terrifying thing is not the difficulty, but the slow decay in silence.
As long as there are movies to make, Wan Xiaoquan doesn't mind working for Lu Chen at all, and Lu Chen's attitude towards creation is not comparable to that of someone who is just trying to make a buck.
In his heart, he was very grateful to Lu Chen. How could the icing on the cake be better than providing help when it was time for him?
It's just that Wan Xiaoquan is an introverted person. He won't show gratitude on his face all the time. He will use actual work and achievements to repay Lu Chen's investment.
This matter was settled just like that.
Of course, Wan Xiaoquan couldn't leave right away. Lu Chen still had to provide him with one or two reliable assistants, and he also had to prepare the funds to build a Xiangjiang studio, all of which he needed to discuss with Lu Xi.
The most important thing to Lu Chen now is Full House, which is currently on the air.
On July 29, the seventh and eighth episodes of Full House aired.
