"Big Diamond"?

When Chen Hao saw this name, he immediately thought of "Crazy Stone"!

I just picked it up and looked at it for a while, and found that it was not quite the same as "Crazy Stone" in my mind.

However, the script has obviously not been created yet, and it will have to be revised in the future, and it should eventually become what it should be!

After putting down the script of "Big Diamond", Chen Hao came to his table and sat down, eating buns while picking up the script on the table.

These should all be scripts created by the predecessor, but they were all rejected by the school!

Chen Hao was a little curious, and wanted to see how these scripts created by his predecessor were!

The Dark Bible!

Chen Hao picked up the first book and saw the name, and almost choked, this is the script he wrote?

Quickly opened the script and read it, but soon Chen Hao was disappointed, yes, it's only 2001, it's too much!

This is a story about a police officer who goes undercover into a gang to collect evidence and wants to dismantle a gang organization.

Because all the secrets of the gang boss were hidden by him in a Bible, hence this reverie-inducing name!

After reading it for a while, Chen Hao shook his head and closed the script, the storyline is too thin, the undercover career is not thrilling enough, and the forced conflict is a bit of a drama!

So, Chen Lin put down the "Dark Bible" and picked up the second one!

"Ghost Father"!

Holy, is it so exciting?

Three minutes later, well, it's a crime thriller where a father pretends to be a ghost to avenge his daughter!

"Night Sick House"!

The male protagonist is a doctor, the female protagonist is a patient, this is a healing love story!

Surprised?

......

Chen Hao no longer pays attention to the stories of the scripts, because he finds that these scripts are indeed a little naïve, immature enough, and have a low degree of completion, and it is no wonder that the school did not pass the application for funding from the predecessor.

What supports Chen Hao now is the naming talent of the predecessor who cried ghosts and gods!

It wasn't until he closed the last script that Chen Hao sighed, half excited and half depressed.

These scripts can't be used, it seems that I still have to write a new one myself, but which one is appropriate, Chen Hao has to think about it.

Now Chen Hao relies on Chen Lin's directing ability in his previous life, and it should not be a big problem to control any crew, but now what restricts Chen Hao is the problem of money and fame.

Without fame, you can't attract big stars and powerful actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan to join, and you can't attract audiences to buy tickets to watch your movie in theaters.

At the beginning of the century, the mainland film market was in a cold winter period, and two years ago, in 1999, the total box office of the whole year fell to the lowest 810 million.

You must know that even at the end of the 80s, the total box office of the mainland film market exceeded 2 billion.

Since 1994, the mainland film market has deteriorated severely, with the total box office falling below 1 billion yuan the following year, and the annual film production is less than 100.

At the same time, the American account-sharing blockbusters that began to be introduced continued to conquer the city and became a box office elixir.

is also because of the addition of American blockbusters, the total national box office increased in the next two years, but in 1999 it still couldn't stop falling to the bottom.

The total box office of the film in the whole year was 810 million, the number of moviegoers was less than 300 million, the audience lost hundreds of times, and the box office revenue fell again and again.

As a result, many screening units are unable to sustain themselves, so they can only use cinemas for other purposes to pay for employees' wages and benefits.

In 2000, the total box office of films in China was 860 million.

In 2001, where Chen Hao is now, the total box office of the national film is only 890 million!

The film market has regressed and been sluggish for many years, so that the relevant departments have finally made a decision to integrate with international standards, and the film market will begin to implement the reform of the cinema system next year.

This reform in 2002 is definitely a strong stroke in the history of Chinese films.

The original dispute over China Film's monopoly distribution rights was circumvented by this market-oriented operation model, but it was not completely resolved.

The original intention of implementing the theatrical system was to reduce the level of distribution.

But the actual effect is just to change the original way of scheduling films from provinces to cities, cities to counties and then to theaters, to the first, second, and third rounds of theater scheduling.

It has not changed the uneven development in the field of Chinese film distribution and circulation.

Most of the more economically developed areas such as the imperial capital, Nanyue, Jiangsu and Shanghai have established more than two cinema lines, plus local cinemas have joined many cinema lines outside the province, and many cinema lines outside the province have built new cinemas locally, making market competition more and more intense.

Under the box office sharing model, the competition for domestic films in theaters began to take on the appearance of the law of the jungle, which made the mainland film market begin to gradually recover.

In the stalls that will be reformed, until the mainland entertainment industry enters its golden age, it is those famous Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars and famous directors who have box office appeal in the mainland film market.

In the mainland, I am afraid that only three and a half directors can attract audiences to the cinema.

But the only ones that can really sell at the box office are the national teacher and Feng Dacang.

Chen Kaige's box office performance has not been good, but there is no shortage of investment.

Jiang Wen, if he follows his temperament, he can also make a good commercial film, but if he is allowed to play freely, it will be difficult to explain.

To be honest, until the mainland's entertainment industry enters its golden age, the mainland is in dire need of commercial film directors.

Therefore, even if many film companies in the mainland know that they are tired, they can only turn a blind eye to cooperate with the directors of Xiangjiang.

In the mainland, once a director who is a box office hit appears, he will immediately be given the title of "director genius", and then be scrambled by everyone.

There's no way, it's so scarce, you can't grab it with money!

As for Chen Hao at this time, the box office appeal is negative.

Now it is the cold winter period of domestic films, and the distribution system has not been reformed, Chen Hao is not famous, and he doesn't even have money.

Therefore, what Chen Hao wants now is not to make his debut a box office hit, but to become famous first.

first developed obscenely, and after the reform of the theater system, the film market gradually picked up, and then the fame also came up, and then began to throw the king bomb!

Of course, it's too far to think about it now, so it's better to write a suitable script first, and at the same time earn enough money for filming.

Therefore, Chen Hao's debut film must be a small-budget film, or even a very low-budget movie.

Judging from Chen Hao's current situation, let alone one million, 300,000 is considered a high cost.

Chen Hao has a lot of small-budget movies in his head, such as "Nightclub", "People in Embarrassment", "Crazy Stone" and so on, but the shooting cost is more than one million.

As for the extremely low-cost movies, there are two that popped up in Chen Hao's mind instantly.

"Smart: Ghost Record" and "This Man is from Earth".

Because these two movies are very well-known, and the cost is really low!

"Smart: Ghost Record" cost only about $15,000 to shoot, but it's even more exaggerated at the box office.

The global box office is as high as 202 million, and this return on investment is indeed shocking and unique.

Another "This Man from Earth" also cost only $20,000, and although the box office is not as amazing as "Smart: Ghost Shadows", it is a science fiction classic.

However, the first half of the pseudo-documentary-style film "Smart: Ghost Shadow" is a bit boring and boring, and it should not be suitable for national conditions.

There is no scientific explanation for the various supernatural situations in the film, and if you do, then this film will become a chicken rib, and it will not create such a sensational viewing effect at all.
