Chapter 98: Li Qian's Confidence!(Ask for Subscription!)
Before talking to Guangxian about the announcement, Li Qian called Chen Hai of Galaxy Video and asked him for a detailed data of "Jaws".
4 million valid clicks, including 3.3 million member accounts and 700,000 individual paid accounts.
According to the most conservative, four million people across the country have also seen the movie "Jaws".
And this is still four million Internet users, and it is also the main force of cinema consumption.
And after data analysis, among the 4 million accounts, the number of second views at least completely reached nearly 3 million.
Even if there are 1 million second swipes and 1 million third swipes out of the 3 million complete views, then at least 1 million people have lent their accounts to others.
In other words, there are five million main people who consume in movie theaters and have watched "Jaws".
A movie ticket costs 30 yuan, and five million is 150 million.
Of course, this is not how the account is calculated, and those who have members are free to watch and do not spend money.
But 700,000 paid accounts, that's a real deal.
People who can spend 5 yuan to watch a movie online must not be stingy to spend 20 or 30 yuan to go to the cinema to experience better visual effects.
Although Li Qian is a newcomer to the big screen, the two online dramas have also accumulated a part of the audience.
Maybe these viewers will wait and see, after all, everyone knows that theatrical movies and online universities are not the same thing.
But as long as word of mouth rises, how many of these five million people can enter the cinema is very impressive.
You know, that's five million netizens!
After many stars who acted in TV series became popular, the remake movies were famous but did not have the slightest box office appeal, largely because the audiences of movies and TV series were different.
These five million potential audiences, coupled with confidence in his own films, are Li Qian's greatest source of confidence.
Other things will be done by Guangxian, such a big company is also worth believing in Li Qian.
Moreover, Li Qian has no doubt that the other party attaches great importance to this movie, and it can be said that it will not be lower than that of himself as a director.
Next, Li Qian can fully devote himself to the production of the movie.
Back in the studio, a second-hand film editing table had been bought, which had been received from a studio.
Looking at this unfamiliar machine, Guo Fan was curious and puzzled, "Boss, the film editing table is in trouble, why don't you do glue to magnetism first, so it's easier to cut a little." ”
"It also takes time to do glue to magnetism, and it is also troublesome to go back and forth in time, money, and energy, and the editor has already finished cutting when the rough cut and re-cut have been filmed, leaving the final fine cut and comprehensive cut. ”
Li Qian fiddled with the editing table, this thing was used when he was in school, and now it looks a little kind.
I took the dailies for editing, and looked at them under the light, and it was very clear that it was a bit eye-wrenching.
In the early days of Hollywood, editors didn't work with men, they were all done by women.
After checking the samples, Li Qian said to the two of them, "You all go and get busy, you need to cut the film in an absolutely quiet environment, don't watch it, and your next movie will be shot with a digital machine, so you won't need it for the time being, and the film editing will not be able to watch it for a while, I hope that when I finish cutting the film, I can also see your script." ”
The two also knew that they would not be able to use this film editing table with half a bucket of water, so they also went out, and they also had to prepare their own movies and get the script out as soon as possible.
followed Li Qian to make three movies, and my heart was also itchy.
Wait for the two of them to go out and close the door.
Slowly excited, calming himself down, Li Qian began to work.
First of all, I carefully watched the samples that had been roughly cut and re-cut, and went through the whole plot twice in my mind, how to connect each shot into a section of scenes, and how this section of scenes constituted a completed story.
It was conceived for a morning, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Li Qian officially started to do it.
Place the dailies on the editing table and mark the coding of each shot for post-production.
The dailies of this edit are not negatives, the negatives are negatives, and they are the master films that will be copied from the film copies in the future, so they must be kept in a safe place, they cannot be scratched or damaged, and they cannot be used for editing.
When the film is processed in the early stage, the factory will develop a positive film that corresponds exactly to the negative for post-editing, and this batch of positives is called a dailies, and the dailies can also see the images in the frame under the light.
Editing editing, as the name suggests, is cutting and editing.
Cut it and dip it on, it's as simple as that.
The actual operation is also with scissors, which is simple and rude.
But in reality, it is an incomparably tedious project, and the patience and meticulousness of the people who are going to graduate school.
.......
Li Qian locked himself in the computer room, ate in it for lunch, and built a small bed in the office.
Before it was time to go to work, Li Qian entered the computer room, and in the evening, when the studio was finished, he went back to the office to rest.
Except for going back to take a shower every few days, I basically don't do anything else.
In addition to delivering food, the others did not bother Li Qian.
The time has entered October, and the National Day has arrived.
However, there are no movies released during the National Day holiday, only a crime movie "Iron Triangle" starring Gu Tianle got 25 million box office in half a month.
There is also a police film "Brothers' Life and Death Alliance" starring Liu Dehua and Chen Yixun, which also won about 25 million at the box office in half a month.
This kind of Hong Kong film, in the mainland, basically gets a box office of 20 or 30 million, and some can sell 40 or 50 million, most of them have to be written in a big book, which can be regarded as a big hit.
During the National Day holiday, there is no other blockbuster competition, and some are audiences, and they only get this box office, which fully shows that the schedule is far less important than the movie itself.
Of course, for movies that aim to be the box office champion of the year, there must be bonuses for the summer and Chinese New Year files, but ordinary movies are all for nothing in any schedule.
The audience is very shrewd, and it is not so easy to get them to pay for it.
It wasn't until November 1st that the previously hyped "Lust and Caution" was released, which detonated the entire film industry.
At the Venice Film Festival in August, "Lust and Caution" had already appeared, and the relevant news was transmitted back to China through the media, which caused a lot of waves.
Moreover, before the release of the movie, various posters and trailers flowed out, coupled with the media reports on the scale of the film that had seen the film at the film festival, which aroused the interest of many audiences.
In September, the movie was also released in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and it was still the full version, and some viewers in eastern Guangdong went directly to Xiangjiang to watch it, and the audience who watched it almost said that this was an astringent film.
Four days after its release, the box office exceeded 40 million, which can be called a hit, and it went directly to the goal of breaking 100 million.
Of course, with the leak of some fragments in the full version, the discussion on the Internet has become even more hot, and various posts asking for resources can be seen everywhere.
Of course, Tang Wei was also scolded.
Li is worthy of the Oscar, an international director, and few people scold him.
Liang Chaowei has won the best actor of the three major film festivals many times, and he is very famous in the mainland, both in terms of B and fame, and he is rarely scolded.
Only Tang Wei attracted most of the firepower.
However, even though the film market is so hot, Li Qian is still doing the post-production of the movie.
Although the rough cut and re-cut had been done by the editor before, it took Li Qian 23 days just to edit.
Immediately after that, the color grading and post-production special effects were also done, and then the soundtrack and dubbing were done.
On November 18th, all the post-production of "Frequency of Life and Death" was completed, and the printing factory also made a digital copy of the master film and sent it to the optoelectronic review.
......
On November 21, after sleeping for two more days and clearing away the fatigue, Li Qian officially left the customs.
I went to Guangxian again, listened to their final publicity plan, and made some suggestions.
There are less than forty days left before the release of the movie, and it is time to hold a press conference to announce that "Frequency of Life and Death" has hit the Chinese New Year file.
Once again, the actors were recalled from all over the country and rushed to the hotel.
Now that "Lust and Caution" has become fully popular, "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number" have also begun to be promoted, and the entire film market has come to an unprecedented hot state.
Three blockbusters, more popular than any previous year.
However, there are still a lot of media at the scene, after all, those two movies have not yet been released.
In the conference hall, no one came out yet, and the reporters at the scene were still whispering and talking in a whisper.
is nothing more than exchanging information in hand, and the most talked about are the actors of "Lust and Caution" and Liu Jialing.
Her husband and other actresses are suspected of fighting the real army, Liu Jialing has been harassed by reporters a lot, and the media is also fanning the flames, and some tabloids even say conclusively that the two of them have divorced.
In the midst of the noise, Li Qian led the actors to the venue.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"I heard that Li Qian's new movie "Frequency of Life and Death" will also be released next month, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Probably not, isn't that looking for death, how can he fight with "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number"!"
"Who knows, but Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao starring, can also rub off on the popularity of "Assembly Number". ”
......
Facing the constantly clicking flashing lights, Li Qian did not talk nonsense, and directly stated the purpose of this press conference.
After several months of filming and post-production, the film has been officially completed, and will officially land in major theaters in China on December 30, presenting a wonderful New Year performance for audiences across the country!"
As soon as these words came out, the reporters who were still speculating just now were a little stunned, but they didn't expect that this Li Qian was really "looking for death" and dared to grab food in the mouths of the two blockbusters.
"Is it really coming out next month?"
"I heard you right, could it be a gimmick and then withdrawn?"
"Where did he get his confidence? Could it be really a science fiction movie?"
", how do you make sci-fi movies in China?"
"Young man, after filming two online universities, I don't know how deep the water is in the film industry, this time Guangxian is going to be pitted!"
......
After a short discussion, the press conference was exactly the same as it was at the beginning, the long guns and short guns were aimed at Li Qian again, and the reporters in the front row scrambled to ask questions regardless of the order.
And some reporters captured Li Qian's confident expression when he said this just now.
With the title: "Cutting-edge director Li Qian's new film is set for the New Year, and the two famous directors Ma Xiaogang and Chen Kexin are picked!"
