After returning to the capital, I have to finish the propaganda process.

Although it has been released for 22 days, the box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" is still strong.

On January 21, the first working day of the fifth week, it still won 1.1 million box office.

There is still no fresh blood to join the film market, and the 1.1 million box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" has also occupied the daily box office champion for the eighth consecutive day.

It can be seen from this that there is a shortage of good movies in the domestic film market!

It can be said that there is no shortage of actors, investment, and audiences in the domestic film market, but there is a shortage of directors who can make good movies.

It's still a Lunar New Year file, and the real Lunar New Year file is from the beginning of December to the Spring Festival in the past three months, and now the New Year file hasn't passed, and there is no film to play for a whole month.

Throughout January, until now, only one Xiangjiang horror film "Wrong Love" has won 6 million box office, and another Xiangjiang movie "Butterfly Flying" has won more than 5 million box office, in addition, there is no box office that exceeds 5 million.

Twelve months a year, at least a third of the time, there are hardly any films to show in the cinema.

Seeing this situation, Li Qian really didn't know what to say.

There are too few domestic directors, the fourth generation of directors has withdrawn, although the fifth generation of directors is at their peak, Zhang Yimou is busy with the Olympic Games, and Cheng Kaige is now making a biographical film "Mei Lanfang".

is the same as "Farewell My Concubine", it is all related to opera, and the box office will be watched when you have time.

As for the sixth generation of directors, they can skip it directly, in Ma Xiaogang's words, they have all gone underground, and they can't see the light.

It's a little ugly, but that's what it means.

There is a talent gap, and no one can shoot a good commercial director.

At this time, any director who can sell well is the object sought after by the entire film industry.

The country also needs directors who can sell at the box office to develop the film industry in the mainland.

The development of the industry does not rely on niche literary films, not those literary films for foreigners to show the "real" situation in China.

Literary films are a genre that is not lacking in any country in the world.

Neon, Nanbang, Europe, and even many small countries have very good literary films.

However, the country does not have its own commercial films, and the ultimate consequence is that it is reduced to Hollywood's backyard, where others take what they want.

Li Qian supported Qi Yukun and Guo Fan to make movies, in addition to helping themselves, they really wanted to find some fresh blood for Chinese films.

As for whether you are from a professional background, it doesn't matter.

The most important thing for directors is that there is a little talent and creativity, Qi Yukun and Guo Fan do have potential, and as for professional knowledge, they can learn at any time.

Those who have the ability will also pull a hand.

......

In the morning, Li Qian took them to Guangxian to determine the cooperation and distribution of the two films.

The sequel to "Jaws" is tentatively titled "Jaws: Revenge", with a production cost of 8 million and a digital camera.

The salary is almost negligible, and all the money is spent on filming, of which about 6 million special effects are spent.

There are very few shots of sharks completely appearing, and 6 million should be enough, compared to lions and tigers, sharks are relatively simple.

Among them, Li Qian invested 60%, that is, 4.8 million, and the remaining 3.2 million was invested, which Guangxian shared with other investors.

The post-publicity and distribution of the film involves all aspects, and it is also beneficial for the box office to involve a few more companies with publicity resources and cinema resources.

"Frequency of Life and Death" can have today's box office, and Guangxian and the other four provinces have also contributed a lot.

If you don't have enough benefits, why should others help you.

Moreover, Qi Yukun directed for the first time, and Li Qian went to see it occasionally at most, and the preparation of the movie, personnel recruitment, and other things had to be helped by Guangxian.

And Guo Fan's "127 Hours", although the scale can not be smaller, Li Qian also gave Guo Fan enough space.

1 million!

A whole number is given.

There is no need to save these more than two or three hundred thousand Li Qian, he made up a whole for him, and squandered it casually, even if it was more than two months.

First signed the contract for "Jaws: Revenge", two investment contracts and two distribution contracts.

The investment contract is signed with Guangxian first, and the rest of the other investors will operate whether to replace the publicity resources or directly give them to others.

The distribution contract is still a 10% share, neither high nor low, and Guangxian pays 2.5 million copies and 5 million publicity and distribution fees in advance, and the money will be put into the project account after the film has passed the review and approval.

Basically, it was distributed as a medium-production film, with a 2.5 million copy fee of at least 300 film copies.

"Frequency of Life and Death" has reached 3 million copies for this reason so far, 370 film copies have been invested, and 5.5 million publicity and distribution costs have been invested, otherwise no matter how good the reputation is, it will not reach this box office.

After all, there were two blockbusters in the same period, and there was also a "Assembly Number" that exploded with word-of-mouth and box office.

"Crazy Stone" in 05 has an equally good reputation, it is still a comedy, and it can be said that there is no problem with the audience and schedule.

However, the initial 30 copies of film were added in several places, and it took half a month to add 100 copies, and the publicity expenses were also deducted.

In the final analysis, the distributor does not trust the film enough, with a cost of 3 million, they are already satisfied with such a high box office, and they are not sure that they can get a higher box office, so the province will be saved.

It's only 100 copies in half a month, and when the flowers are gone.

Regarding the 300 copies of "Jaws: Revenge" and the 5 million publicity and distribution costs, Wang Changtian also has no opinion.

Even if Li Qian doesn't say it and doesn't sign the contract, he won't give publicity less than this scale.

4 million people have watched the first part, and it also caused a sensation during the summer vacation, and even the layman knows that as long as the sequel is not too bad, it is sure that it will be a big hit.

And there is almost no need to wait for word-of-mouth to slowly ferment like "Frequency of Life and Death", and the attendance rate will slowly rise, and then increase the investment in copies.

"Jaws" itself has a lot of fame, not to mention Li Qian's bonus, as soon as it is released, it has to be copied on a large scale to seize the box office as soon as possible.

After all, the box office in the first two weeks is the big one, and if it's late, it will be a big discount.

The only opinion is that Li Qian has the name of a producer.

Anyway, "The Frequency of Life and Death" will soon break 100 million, if it successfully breaks 100 million, then Li Qian is the director of the 100 million yuan box office club, this name is old, not to mention that the first part was filmed by him.

For projects that are bound to make money, Wang Changtian also signed the contract very happily.

As for the other "127 Hours", this film is quite interesting just by looking at the story.

However, 80% of the shots in the whole film are the protagonist stuck in the mountain crevice by a boulder, and it is also his one-man show.

Although "Sniper Phone Booth" is also a one-man show, there are delivery men, underworlds, and police officers in the middle to create conflicts.

And the killers behind the scenes are all the time, saying that it is a one-man show, but in fact it is a double protagonist, but the other protagonist only has a voice and does not show up.

"Sniper Phone Booth" is tense and exciting throughout the whole process, with constant contradictions and conflicts.

But this "127 Hours"...

It's a one-man show in the true sense of the word, and there is not even the voice of the second person.

And the protagonist is still motionless, and the protagonist of "Desert Island Survivors" can still move in the desert island.

Are you sure the audience won't fall asleep?

Although he has no interest in this movie and is not optimistic, it is only a cost of 1 million, so it doesn't matter if he gives Li Qian one million cash.

Even if Li Qian doesn't need Guangxian's investment, Wang Changtian has to win it, this investment is a small matter, and cooperation with Li Qian is the key.

After the investment contract is signed, it is still 70% of Li Qian's investment, that is, 700,000.

This is followed by the announcement of the contract.

"Mr. Wang, this movie is too niche, our target is also a specific suspense film lover, the initial 50 film copies and 1 million publicity are almost enough. ”

Although Deng Chao's fame has grown rapidly with the success of the two blockbusters, Zhang Hanyu in "Assembly" is the absolute protagonist.

Although "Frequency of Life and Death" is a dual protagonist, the role setting of the two is decided, and the role of the father will be more brilliant.

Moreover, the films starring the four major Hua Dan often have a box office of several millions, and before the mainland actors have a high-grossing movie, no matter how famous they are, don't talk about box office appeal.

The appeal of the box office must first prove that it has the ability to win a high box office.

There is not even a movie with a single antibody that sells well, so what appeal is there to talk about.

50 film copies, 1 million publicity, it will be enough in the initial stage, and then it will be adjusted depending on the situation.

Wang Changtian also signed the contract happily, so there is no need to worry about this money, and the top priority now is to continue to maintain in-depth and solid cooperation with Li Qian.

After the four contracts are signed, it will be Qi Yukun and Guo Fan's own business in the future.

His own movies can only be made by himself, Li Qian occasionally goes to see it once or twice, but he can't always be stationed in their crew to guide the shooting, so it simply becomes his own shooting.

After the two projects and eight contracts are all signed, each of them will collect their own four.

Li Qian can take the initiative to cooperate on these two projects, which shows that the cooperation between the two sides is still very pleasant, and Wang Changtian is also in a good mood.

However, the most important thing is his own project, the first film is expected to break 100 million, and Wang Changtian is looking forward to the second movie even more.

"Director Li, I don't know if you have any ideas for the next movie?"

Li Qian smiled, "I have an idea, but I haven't started yet, after a while, it's not that early." ”

"Of course, Director Li has worked hard for more than a month, and he made three movies in the last half a year, but he has to rest well, and his body is the capital of the revolution. Wang Changtian hurriedly said.

As long as you have an idea for the next one, Wang Changtian also knows that you can't rush to make a movie.

Even Ma Xiaogang, the most prolific in the mainland, can't keep one movie a year, and there are still two years without a work released in the past ten years, as long as Li Qian's next movie can be released this year.

Li Qian had to go to the Communication University in the afternoon to have a meeting, so he didn't stay long.

Sending them out of the company, Zhang Zhao followed Wang Changtian to the chairman's office.

"Wang Dong, if Li Qian's next movie is made, we still only have a 15% share, what should we do?"

"What can I do?"

Wang Changtian shook his head helplessly, the big sale of "Frequency of Life and Death" made Wang Changtian both happy and regretful.

I didn't expect this movie to explode like this, I thought there would be a box office of more than 30 million, and it doesn't matter if you have more shares or less shares, anyway, it's just that much money.

Even if the word-of-mouth of the screening is very good, it got 3.6 million on the first day, and raised the target to 50 million, which is just a little regretful.

But now, there is a great hope of breaking 100 million, and I regret dying in my heart.

According to a rough estimate, in addition to recovering the cost of 8.5 million publicity and distribution, and the production cost of 1.125 million, if calculated at a box office of 100 million, the distribution income is 3.1 million, and the profit from investment is about 3.5 million.

The net profit is only 6.6 million!

And Li Qian's net profit is estimated to be 15 million.

For a movie with a box office of 100 million, Li Qian earned 15 million, while Guang Xian was busy and only earned 6.6 million.

Vested Long, look back at Shu!

Can Wang Changtian not feel heartache, it is equivalent to working for Li Qian.

"Lao Zhang, the next time Li Qian is ready to make a new film, you should test it first and see if you can get a little more share. ”

Come on, the bad guys want me to do it again.

In the past six months, Li Qian's temper and personality have almost been figured out.

If you sum it up in one word, it is the word "Qian" in his name.

It's nothing more than an antonym.

However, Zhang Zhao could only nod his head, "I'll try." ”
