Chapter 214: Four Hundred Million

"Now "Three Guns" is very popular, I walked around the cinema in Beijing the night before, and it was all overcrowded. ”

"Is word-of-mouth the word-of-mouth of the common people, or the word-of-mouth of so-called experts and film critics? I emphasize the word-of-mouth of the common people, that is, the scene of overcrowding in the cinema. Now some cultural people rape public opinion as experts and use the so-called word-of-mouth to evaluate a movie, which is completely untrue. ”

"Three Guns did suffer some injustice, and to be honest, I don't believe anyone really did anything like that. On the day of the movie's release, the staff told me that on a professional website, the rating of "Three Guns" was 1 point, and later it was found out that it was a person who was employed by a competitor in the same schedule, and organized more than 50 people to vote, the purpose was to lower the evaluation of "Three Guns"!

We've heard of pressure on the site, most blatantly of a group of people who have openly demanded that the media take down the positive stories in the headlines and report the negative ones. These behaviors, to put it mildly, are monopolies, hooliganism. However, movies don't have a few people who can hide the truth. ”

"I'm not afraid to say it directly, I have a strong sense of justice, and I have to say it when I encounter unfair things, no matter who it is, this time it is because "October Siege" was released a week after "Three Guns" that some means will be used, and "Three Guns" will be cut in half in one day!"

"Some people regard Chinese movies as their own private property, control half of the country's theaters, and think they can control the fate of others, but no one can control the people's money, and no one can shoot the audience!"

"A few days ago, I met a leader of the Film Bureau, he asked me, why you have not come to the Huabiao Awards many times in the past two years, I said, the Huabiao Awards have become a monopoly and a cult of personality, I know that it is the highest award of the government, and I don't know which company's meeting I think it is - the audience is sitting in the hands of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there is a shout of "Xie Han Sanye" above. What kind of "third master", I thought at first that the mountain carving was coming, and the Huabiao Award was in a miasma. ”

"I know that after the words come out, I will be pushed to the forefront, but now is the time to tell the truth, monopoly is a very deformed phenomenon, but no one dares to say it. The pustule will have to be broken one day, and it's a good thing to let the pus out, I don't care what will affect me, if I cared, I wouldn't say it at this time. ”

......

Zhang Weiping's words in an interview with the media were reported as they were, and there was no need for the media to polish them.

However, the annoyance is that at the end of this media outlet, when Zhang Weiping replied that he was not worried about retaliation, he added a parenthesis after the word "he?", which was disdainful.

is firing at China Film and Han Sanping, and as soon as these remarks were reported, they were immediately pushed to the forefront.

Many media reprinted this news, and it is not far from being known to everyone.

Of course, China Film came forward to clarify as soon as possible, but Han Sanping did not happen, but a spokesman for China Film refuted Zhang Weiping's words one by one.

Of course, Yu Dong, as a party concerned, has spoken out, and he has been angry with Zhang Weiping in the past few years.

Not only the people concerned, but also many producers, investors, and directors are inevitably asked what they think about this matter.

After all, one of the most well-known producers in China is facing the film industry, and this scene is estimated to be rare once in a few years.

Ma Xiaogang, who was filming in Tangshan, Cheng Kaige, who was preparing the new film "Zhao's Orphan", the CEOs of Huayang, Guangxian and other companies, as well as some well-known filmmakers, were all asked by reporters for their opinions.

Li Qian is no exception, because there is no registration for this year's Huabiao Award.

"In fact, I didn't participate in the Huabiao Awards, there is no reason, I don't want to add extra work to the judges of the organizing committee, after all, I shoot commercial films, and the conditions for the Huabiao Awards are to be able to achieve a good unity of ideology, artistry, and ornamentation, pursue profound thinking and exquisite art, and insist on putting social benefits in the first place. ”

These are indeed the requirements of the Huabiao Awards, which are clearly stated, but there are also commercial film nominations.

However, the host who came to the interview did not dwell on it, and asked about Zhang Weiping's opinion on Han Sanping's monopoly, and the Huabiao Award is really a church of China Film.

How is this possible, Han Sanping can influence the Golden Rooster and Baihua at most, and in the Huabiao Award jury, you can not bird him if you take it out alone.

The director of the jury is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department and the director of the optoelectronic bureau.

First Deputy Director, Deputy Director of Optoelectronics.

The deputy director is the director of the film bureau.

The Secretary-General is the Deputy Director of the Film Bureau.

There are more than 30 committee members, including nearly 10 department and bureau level leaders of culture, propaganda, finance, and the National Development and Reform Commission.

There are directors and deputy editors-in-chief of heavyweight newspapers such as "People's Daily" and "Qiushi", and they should also be editors at the department and bureau level.

There are also the Propaganda Departments of the Women's Federation and the Workers' Youth League, who are also senior officials at the department and bureau level.

Where is this level of award, where can Han Sanping have the final say.

However, there are often commercial films and big stars who win awards, and this year's "Red Cliff", "Assembly Number", "Mei Lanfang", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and "Ip Man" all won awards.

However, in addition to "Assembly Number" and "Mei Lanfang", "Ip Man" won outstanding overseas Chinese actors, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" won outstanding overseas Chinese actresses, and "Red Cliff" is an excellent overseas Chinese director.

If Li Qian wants to make a commercial film and win the Huabiao Award, in addition to having some hope for the main theme, he can only turn himself into an overseas Chinese director.

But that's certainly not possible.

And it can't tell the truth either.

"In fact, each award has its own rules, whether it is the Oscars or the three major European ones, they all have their own preferences, and the Huabiao Award itself is an artistic film festival. ”

"Director Li thinks that Zhang Weiping's disclosure of corruption within China Film really exists?"

"I don't know much about this, after all, I'm just a newcomer to the film industry, and many things are the same as you, and I can't see too deep places. ”

"The China Film family is dominant, what do you think are the pros and cons?"

"I think this is a characteristic of our country, not only in the film industry, but also in various energy industries and communication industries.

As for the pros and cons of this situation, I can only analyze it from a theoretical point of view, and the efficiency of the industry will be relatively high in the case of monopoly, which can lead the trend of the entire industry, and there will be some disadvantages accordingly. ”

......

It's a boring question, but you have to be careful to answer it.

It's not impossible to say that way.

In addition to the official, the film industry is really up to him, holding half of the theater chains, and his full strength is too great.

Not to mention the distribution rights of imported films, if you are unhappy, arrange four or five imported blockbusters to be released together, and you have to shed your skin if you don't die.

But Zhang Weiping casually fired guns and sprayed people everywhere in order to hype, which has nothing to do with Li Qian.

Besides, people haven't made his films, although the reputation is too good and the reason why they can't be done, otherwise, these current schedules, or most of the prime-time films, will definitely not be able to be kept.

And Han Sanping is all normal business competition, and he didn't do anything.

As for what Zhang Weiping said, it is more or less true.

Nearly half of the film schedule of "Three Guns" has been cut, and there must be the impetus behind China Film and Bernard, after all, they are opponents.

What's more, there are five provinces of optoelectronics behind "October Siege", so the influence is greater.

Of course, the most important thing is that I am not competitive enough, if word of mouth and box office double explode, there will be no such problems.

"Perfect World" has no such troubles, and the film schedule has been stable.

As for the more than 250 million theaters of "Three Guns", this temptation has also been ignored by the theaters, and now at the box office, it is a question whether it can break 250 million, and there is no money at all.

There is no money to get, the attendance rate is average, and there is hatred, the theater thinks about it with the back of its head, and knows how to arrange the film.

Zhang Weiping's move is just the last struggle, with the current reputation, it can't be done without making big news.

However, the dying struggle was useless, "Three Guns" only got 28 million box office in a single week in the third week, and the total box office was close to 170 million in 18 days of release.

Not to mention the original goal of 400 million, 200 million is a bit hanging.

"October Siege" relied on high word-of-mouth, with the support of China Film, Berner and the five major optoelectronics, and the box office soared to 93 million in the second week, and the total box office in 11 days of release came to 154 million, which has exceeded the box office of "Three Guns" in the first two weeks.

Obviously, it is a certainty that the box office of "October Siege" will surpass "Three Guns".

However, these two movies are the supporting roles of this Chinese New Year file after all.

"Perfect World" has been nervous in the early stage, and it has maintained a decline in the fourth week of its release, winning 57.5 million in a single week.

After 25 days of release, the total box office came to 368.2 million.

The fifth week, 2009 has also passed, just in time for the New Year's Day holiday, and it is getting closer and closer to 400 million, and another 400 million box office movie is about to be born, which also attracts some audiences who have not yet entered the cinema.

No matter what movie it is, it will get 400 million box office, and everyone will be curious, not to mention that the publicity and discussion in the past month have not stopped.

32 million in a single week!

After 32 days of release, the total box office came to 400.2 million, successfully breaking through the 400 million mark!
