Chapter 865: A Lively Beginning
At the end of January, the Film Bureau.
In the conference room, a group of people are also summarizing last year's work.
Towards the end, the leader suddenly said: "Maybe everyone has read today's newspaper, and I will officially share it at the meeting, after all, it is good news." ”
He motioned to the side, and the man read a report:
"Since its release on December 29 last year, "October Siege" has received continuous praise and box office hits.
As of January 29, it has achieved an astonishing result of 170 million, surpassing "No Thieves in the World" to become the second place in the overall list since the domestic box office was adopted, the first is "Titanic".
According to expert analysis, the domestic film market is gradually improving, and the enthusiasm for watching movies is steadily rising, but compared with Hollywood, the base is still weak and lacks long-term combat capabilities.
is like "October Siege", which won 100 million box office in the first ten days, but only 70 million in the last 20 days.
It can be seen that there is still a long way to go to expand the viewing base, improve the quality of works, and make watching movies a habitual way of leisure.
In addition, the film achieved 11 million in Hong Kong, although it was slightly insufficient, but won unanimous praise from critics, and I look forward to showing off at this year's Academy Awards. ”
After reading it, he said: "The office has verified that it is indeed 170 million, only a little." ”
The scene suddenly became very atmospheric.
"It feels like going back to 80 years, and it's over 100 million at every turn. ”
"How much did a movie ticket cost in the 80s, and how much does it cost now?"
"It's different, there's nothing else to do but watch a movie. Now there are so many ways to entertain, and it can still be 170 million, which is very rare!"
"Hey, that one, how many Titanic are there?"
"More than 300 million. ”
"Yo, that's not a long way off. ”
"Take your time! Zhang Yi's "Hero" won't be released this year? Step by step. ”
"Bigger and stronger!"
The stadium was filled with a cheerful air, as if it was their credit.
......
"Good!
Radio and television, Xu leader was turning in circles, and asked Lao Wu and Lao Han who were specially called: "Can you still rush up?"
"It's hard, 170 million is basically the end. ”
"Well, that's pretty good. By the way, will it pay for itself?"
"Uh......"
The two glanced at each other, and Wu Mengchen said: "The total investment is more than 60 million, and half of it is actually the money for landscaping." On the surface, it is barely recouping, but counting the buyout income from overseas copyrights and audio-visual products, let's make a small profit.
The profit margin is not as good as "No Thieves in the World". ”
"Thank you for your hard work, looking at the scenery in a large area, the risk is also great. ”
Leader Xu nodded, that scene is in Xiangshan, it seems to have spent a lot of money, but it is real estate, and it can be made up for quickly by tourism.
And the film and television city, the major shareholder is Ronda.
Commercial real estate, high-end villas, general residential areas, office buildings, hotels are involved, CBD complexes are being built, most of the city is blooming all over the country, and 10,000 supermarkets and stores can be called the overlord of Beijing's retail industry......
It's just that the investment choice is a bit strange, preferring Fujian Province and Zhejiang Province, and I can't figure it out.
Especially in Zhejiang Province, it has been in full swing in the past two years.
............
Cow!"
"Have you all watched it? I haven't seen it yet, is it good?"
"Hurry up and see, the old man is domineering!"
"Bump the horse, bump the horse!"
"I believe you, I took my girlfriend there in the evening, and I just got the manuscript fee. ”
"Show off your girlfriend and kill upstairs!"
"Kill upstairs!"
"I'm the only one who cares about where I get my manuscript fees? I've written a lot of articles on the Internet, and I've always been prostituted. ”
"Find the right way! Go to the Tianxia Book Station and they will help you recommend it to the print media or publishing house, and my manuscript fee is given by the magazine. ”
"The World Book Station has been revised, now it is called the world, there is a prize collection network, and the first one will be 200,000!"
As soon as this comment came out, it was immediately pushed up, and it was hot.
quickly crooked the building, from "October Siege" to the Internet, I don't know if I don't talk, but I found out after chatting: Hey, there are so many colleagues!
"Off topic!"
Yu Jiajia was dissatisfied, and tried to pull the topic back by tapping on the keyboard, continuing to lead the rhythm, and secretly observing the attitude of netizens towards various issues in the movie.
Her execution is super strong, as soon as Xu Fei spoke, she immediately handed over the work, made a small house, and organized people to do it.
Mr. Xu's request is: to become the most influential and authoritative movie rating website in China, and to re-evaluate music and books.
Yu Jiajia referred to IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes in the United States.
The form is different, but there is one point, they all adopt the double evaluation of the audience and the film critic. She prefers Rotten Tomatoes, and this site uses proportions.
Film critics are "recommended" and "not recommended", with more than 60% of film critics recommending, Rotten Tomatoes Fresh, and more than 75% recommending, it becomes "Certified Fresh".
The audience is to star first, and then collect the proportion of all users with more than 3 and a half stars.
No matter what you say, Yu Jiajia's general direction has been decided: it must adopt the dual evaluation standards of the audience, film critics/media.
............
At the beginning of 2002, the entertainment industry was lively.
"The Siege of October", the selection of the Four Little Flowers, and the Golden Broom Award that many people miss.
Since it was announced last year, the Golden Broom Award has really gotten votes, including Chinese films from across the Taiwan Strait. The principle is: influential, well-known directors and actors can be selected.
Because the golden broom is designed to spur, a lot of bad movies every year, of course, pick celebrities to spray.
First, the media listed a number of nominations, and then synthesized the opinions of netizens and film critics to get the results.
The mainland films are lucky, now the output is small, the bad ones are not famous, and the famous ones are all good films made by Mr. Xu. As a result, Hong Kong has become the hardest hit area.
Some films have not been released in the mainland, and the audience has also seen them through pirated discs, but they can't be made public. Therefore, it was also divided into regions, and those that were not released were entrusted to local institutions in Hong Kong to investigate.
The organizer is not any print media, and for fear of offending people, Sohu will do it.
"The Legend of Shushan", "The Mystery of the Secret Service", "The First Close Contact", "Dark War 2", ...... All of them are famous.
When the nomination came out, I was taken aback.
Tsui Hark, Cheng Long, do you really dare to give it?
So Sohu announced: "On February 1, the first Golden Broom Awards Ceremony will be held!"
also released a trophy photo: a broom.
True broom.
............
In the blink of an eye, the day, the afternoon.
Deng Chao had already had a winter vacation, but in order to participate in this event, he deliberately left a few days late and lived in the company dormitory.
At this moment, he put on his best clothes, shiny black leather shoes, picked up the bicycle key, thought about it and put it down.
Shame on you, let's take a taxi.
Just as he was about to leave, the agent opened the door and came in, carrying a large bag and a small bag.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
"I've got you covered, so let's change it quickly. ”
The agent took out a suit and said, "Although it is not a very formal occasion today, you have to wear a suit, which is casual and suitable." ”
Deng Chao was fiddled with like a puppet, and at the end of the day, he looked in the mirror, tsk, it's different when he gets dressed!
"Brother, you have to spend a lot of money, right?"
"The newcomers of the company have an annual installation fee, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
"Then when I become a wrist, I'll have to buy it myself?"
"I don't know! When you become a wrist, it's time for the brand to sponsor, and our main partner is Elaine Group. ”
Packed up, the two went downstairs.
There was a car downstairs, although it was not a good car. Deng Chao was already very satisfied, and came to the Kunlun Hotel, and when he entered the hall, he saw Zhou Xun and Cao Ying chatting inside.
“......”
He hesitated, and the agent pulled: "Hello!"
"Sister Xiaoxun! Sister Xiaoying! This is Deng Chao, a newcomer who has just signed. ”
Deng Chao followed and called his sister, he is 79 years old, and he is really a junior.
The two of them were very casual and chatted a few words, Zhou Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran to the door: "Ah, rich woman!"
"Ah, Little Huadan!"
Wang Yan, who had just gotten off her husband's luxury car, ran over and jumped with Cao Ying, like a mentally handicapped girl.
"What do you think?"
In the elevator, the agent asked.
"Well, I still have to work hard. ”
"The overall environment of the company is not bad, but the internal competition has always been fierce, even greater than the external competition. Because almost all the good actors and seedlings are here.
Your chances are ten times that of artists from other companies, but the challenge of wanting to get ahead is also ten times that of them. ”
“......”
Deng Chao suddenly felt the pressure and remained silent.
The agent comforted: "However, the company is already adjusting, and the four of them, plus Sister Gong Li, will soon set up a personal studio, which will be invested by the company and pay a certain amount of profit every year."
As soon as they left, the head actress was vacant.
The actor is relatively poor, your advantage lies in age and image, and you are a young student. ”
As he spoke, he arrived at the place, a small hall, a hundred seats, and a platform, like a decent appearance. Large back panel on the front:
"The first Golden Broom Award Ceremony!"
Deng Chao sat down in a daze, surrounded by newcomers to the company, sitting in the front row, and a camera.
"Uh, are those journalists?"
He couldn't help but ask the little girl next to him.
"It's the journalists, and the award presenters. Sun Li said.
"And the award presenters?"
"I said yes, but I didn't recognize any of them. ”
Deng Chao looked at it again, but he didn't recognize it, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what Mr. Xu asked us to do, we can't be an audience, right?"
"Get educated. Fu Dalong suddenly snorted.
Seeing that the two people were puzzled, he smiled and said, "Let's see how we are embarrassed, tell us, don't make bad movies in the future." ”
"Oh!"
The two of them were stunned, but they didn't take it seriously, young man!
It's a hot chat, and I'm already imagining what kind of dishes the company will have in the future.
When the personnel arrived, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
Tang Jian of Sohu strode onto the stage and said bluntly: "I will host it today, I guess I don't know me, but it doesn't matter, I will be introduced here, vice president and head of the video department of Sohu." ”
He made a void comparison and continued: "By the way, with the gradual commercialization of broadband in China, we are preparing to build a dedicated video website to meet you next year or the year after.
So we can't say that we have nothing to do with film and television.
Then why did I preside over it? Because I invited a lot of professionals, but they didn't want to, for fear of offending people.
At the same time, many directors and actors were invited to be award guests, but they were unwilling for fear of offending people.
So I want to say, why are we doing this award? Aren't we afraid of offending people?
Huh!"
"Hah!"
I laugh at the bottom, too. In these years, Sohu's status is equivalent to that of Penguin and Ali in later generations.
came to a talk show, Tang Jian announced: "The first Golden Broom Award Ceremony has officially begun!"
