Chapter 395: Miscellaneous (1/5)
"Tangshan Earthquake" is really good, whether it is the movie itself or the economic benefits...
It's after this movie that the little steel cannon looks very annoying!
It has influenced many people's perception of this movie...
The investment is indeed very large, close to the production cost of 200 million.
In the first few years when Huayi was listed, he did spend money making movies...
However, Shen Mengxi really didn't take Hua Yi to heart!
Relying on one or two directors to dominate the world, DreamWorks proves that this path does not work!
However, Huayi now regards Mengxi Company as an opponent...
Mengxi Company wants awards and awards, box office and box office, and by the way, it has also opened up distribution channels in the United States...
Bifang said that now, what Huang Zhonglei wants to talk about is the American release of "Tangshan Earthquake"...
"My S studio is indeed doing distribution, but they are mainly targeting the audience of literary films, and they can only mobilize 800 theaters at most..."
""Tangshan Earthquake" is definitely aimed at Chinese Americans, "Those Years" was released in 68 theaters in North America last year, and the final box office was 580,000 US dollars, and the distribution and publicity cost was about 200,000 US dollars, because we didn't advertise and didn't promote much, so the poster cost some money..."Tangshan Earthquake" is released, I suggest you follow this path..."
Huang Zhonglei then asked: "What if we want to log in to mainstream theaters?"
"It's unlikely, no distributor will take on this project! Let me tell you, no matter how much investment is in "Tangshan Earthquake", foreign language films are niche literary films and alternative films in the eyes of Americans!"
"There are more than 3 million Chinese in the United States and more than 1 million in Canada, adding up to about 5 million, and Hollywood will not make special discoveries for this part of the audience, for them this market is too small. So we can only do it ourselves, slowly find out what movies different types of Chinese gathering areas like, and then launch them accurately, so that we can slowly build up this market... I recently talked to Jiang Yanming, and she wants to do this market!"
"If Huayi is willing to try, I think "Tangshan Earthquake" can be the first film!"
"How many theaters can you fight for?"
"The first batch of paintings will be up to 66, and then it will be decided according to the situation...The North American release of "Painted Skin 2" has been handed over to them, and the publicity cost is close to 800,000 US dollars, and we posted advertisements in Chinatown, where the Chinese population lived..."
Huang Zhonglei hesitated a little: "... I'll think about it..."
"Hmm..."
......
A brief introduction to Huashi, President Jiang Yanming, has been in CCTV and served as the producer of "Mansion Gate".
Later, he worked for Huayi Brothers and produced "Night Banquet" and "Assembly Number".
Those years were the best producers in the industry.
Later, I went around North America, Australia, and Europe, and found a business opportunity: there are more than 50 million overseas Chinese around the world, and many of them actually want to watch Chinese movies!
As a result, Huashi Pictures was established to specialize in the distribution of Chinese-language films.
It was not until 2014 that Wanda acquired AMC when it was about to reach a cooperation agreement with AMC Cinemas...
Including the Odeon cinema chain in Europe, they are all about to reach a cooperation agreement, and they have been acquired by Wanda...
Wanda has nothing to do with Huashi...
Therefore, it is definitely not polite to Huashi's film schedule.
In order to save myself and learn Netflix, I have made an online broadcasting platform with Chinese culture, specializing in providing Chinese movies...
It's useless, and after a year, the highest video on-demand rate is only a few hundred!
Sixteen years later, a Well Go USA distribution company popped up, and their goal was also to distribute Chinese-language films, or Asian films, and then won the North American distribution rights of "Wolf Warrior 2", "Mermaid", "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha".
Huashi is in complete decline...
This is predictable, because Huashi is backed by Huayi - it is distributed in North America, and it is also a Chinese-language movie, which is basically to smash money!
Where does the money come from?
Huayi is responsible for blood supply...
Huayi has collapsed, and Huashi will definitely not be able to do it either...
......
On June 10th, the Shanghai Film Festival opened.
The film festival is really embarrassing, the main competition unit is not treated by the media and the audience at all, even if there are classic reviews of masters such as Woody Allen and John Woo, "Bomb Disposal Unit", "White Ribbon" and other award-winning films such as last year's Oscars and Cannes...
It also can't be listed in the entertainment section of many mainstream media in the mainland.
Except for a few veteran fans, no one cares about this thing!
However, Meituan Movie has reached a cooperation with the organizer to buy tickets online, and you can directly purchase the movies screened at the Shanghai Film Festival directly on Meituan Movie...
Not to mention, this trick directly brought hundreds of thousands of registered users...
But there is no media coverage of this thing, the public is concerned about the red carpet, especially how Fan Biscuit will wear this time...
Cannes, you're wearing a dragon robe!
It's a pity that this time, she wore a normal dress, walking on the red carpet with the crew of "Zhao's Orphan", wearing a red wrap dress...
The size is not as good as Gong Li after that!
Gong Huang wore a black bandeau skirt, which perfectly interpreted the words that the charm of the old lady still exists!
This Shanghai Film Festival, shouldn't it be said that the previous sessions are the same, the Chinese Film Exhibition and Sales Conference!
A bunch of films came over for publicity.
Reporters gave up the films that had no eyeball effect, and tossed between commercial films such as "Tangshan Earthquake", "Di Renjie", "Zhao's Orphan", "West Wind Spirit", "Painted Skin 2" and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2".
All kinds of hustle and bustle!
All kinds of gossip, what 'Xie Tingfeng talks about Lucas', 'Zhang Bozhi's comeback to offer the star', 'Shen Dong calls Feng Xiaogang'...
All kinds of news, there are also discussions on the Internet...
The latter news is just hype, Shen Dong is the director of "Bloody Lonely City", this film has no money for publicity, so it can only attract attention through this means.
It's a pity that you can't have Zhou Libo's "Dragon and Phoenix Shop", "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2", "Bridge of Life and Death"...
Zhou Libo has been really hot in the past two years!
"Thirty Years of Laughter", "One Week Libo Show"...
It's not Zhou Libo who is in trouble in later generations and praised from all directions...
No one talks about movies anyway!
For a simple example, when the winner of this year's Golden Goblet Award for Best Picture "Kiss Me Again" held a press conference, only a few media were present, and the scene was very deserted with empty seats everywhere. At the same time, next door to the press conference of "Kiss Me Again" was very lively, and "Is Tomorrow Coming" starring Yi Nengjing was also engaged in activities, with many reporters on the scene, vying to take pictures, and this movie has nothing to do with the participating units.
In this case, "Painted Skin 2" premiered ...
In the Great Light Cinema, the thousand-seat screening hall - 3D version...
A red carpet about 50 meters long was laid out at the entrance of the studio.
At eight o'clock in the evening, a bunch of fans were already gathered around the red carpet.
The main creative team of "Painted Skin 2" appeared in the finale, and the first people who walked the red carpet were all friends who invited them to watch the movie, for example, Huayi came with a wave of people, Huang Zhonglei led the team, Li Lianhua, Yao Dazui, and Huang Jiao Leader;
Wu Yusen, Wang Xiaoshuai, including Niu Chengze and Peng Haoxiang are here...
I probably want to learn about the commercial filming method of cash, and by the way, I want to study what 3D is all about.
These are all films that come to the festival for promotion...
The most surprising thing is that Li Lianjie also came over with a coat of arms...
