Han Shanping sat in the middle with a stern expression, looking at the people present coldly, and a cold smell suddenly appeared in the air, and the people who were seen lowered their heads one after another and did not dare to speak. Ye Ming stared at the teacup on the table tightly, as if he could see the flowers in the teacup. Zhang Yimou was holding a black-skinned notebook, writing and drawing on it, and I didn't know what he was recording.

And Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen smoked and didn't say anything. These people know the purpose of this tea party, not only [Star Wars], if it is just Star Wars, then at this time, it will be enough to talk about it on a small scale. Box office, this is the root of a qiē.

No matter whether the experts at the Golden Rooster Awards admit it or not, movies always have to speak at the box office.

Han Shanping took a sip of tea before saying slowly: "Comrades, I called everyone over today to discuss the market of this year's film market, according to the number, it is only 200 million so far, the leader is very dissatisfied, what do you have to say, everyone is open and said, those who speak are not guilty, and those who hear are full of caution." ”

Chairman Liu of the New Film Association raised his hand lazily and said: "I have two things to say, this matter, I think, is still the reason why there are no blockbusters introduced, how much was the box office at this time last year, 700 million, this year, I don't need to say that everyone also knows, what is the quality of those movies, everything else is nonsense, the box office is the last word, I don't see any hope for the introduction of blockbusters."

The Directorate General should have lifted this prohibition a long time ago. I'm a direct speaker, don't be surprised. ”

As the chairman of the New Film Association, it is natural to consider for yourself, whether there are movies in the cinema and what kind of movies are screened, which has a fatal impact on the income of a cinema.

Lao Liu is doing this business. Of course, you have to speak for yourself.

At this time, Jiang Wen immediately retorted: "What's the use of introducing blockbusters, it's an external force after all." Whether foreign monks can chant scriptures or not, I don't think it is necessarily. Our country is also able to make good movies, the key is how to shoot and who will shoot it. ”

Jiang Wen is a director, so on such a question, it is natural to think of the interests of his own industry, and Jiang Wen is also a master who has something to say, and he will not care whether others like it or not.

Han Shanping saw a tendency to quarrel. Knocked on the table and said: "The introduction of blockbusters and their own hematopoietic function are very important, therefore, the leadership has also decided to alleviate in this aspect, we will introduce the latest American blockbuster [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], and this movie is already on the post-dubbing Cheng dù, when the time comes, we must make the film market boom, now let's talk about it first, the issue of the screening rights of this film is still the old rule." Several newly established cinema chains, you bid by yourself, and whoever gives the highest price. This imported blockbuster belongs to whomever it is. ”

This matter, anyway, the experience of the various theaters sitting in the house is not played once or twice, therefore, on such a thing, everyone is familiar with the price that cannot be quoted, and as a result, Chairman Liu of the New Film Federation got the screening right.

Of course, this does not mean that if the new film association can be screened, others will not be able to show it. In fact, in places where there is no cinema in the New Film Association, especially in the south, when a certain management fee is paid. Other theaters can also be screened, which means that China Film has given the New Film Association a chance to make money. This introduces blockbusters. The big head has already been taken away by Zhongying, and the little brother of the new film association followed Zhongying to drink a sip of soup. There is nothing wrong with that.

And at this time, Ye Ming's mark is a little confusing to Zhang Yimou, the brilliant cinema line is the largest private cinema chain in China, why is Ye Ming not interested in such a thing.

Zhang Yimou lowered his voice and asked: "Ye Ming, this is not in line with your style, you are scrambling to do the five-yuan movie ticket, why is [Star Wars] not tempted." ”

Ye Ming smiled and didn't say anything else, just said helplessly: "I don't have money, I don't have the wealth of the New Film Association, and the price of China Film is too high, so high that I can't afford it at all." Moreover, I am not very optimistic about this film, and when the time comes, if the market response is really good, it is a big deal to give the new film association a management fee and then screen it. ”

But Ye Ming knew that this was impossible, and no one thought of this at this time, and the powerful Hollywood blockbuster [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] actually said that it was a box office fiasco.

Zhang Yimou said curiously: "You said that the box office of [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] will not be very good, I have seen this movie, and it was a fire in the United States at the time, and a colleague invited me to watch it, I have to say that such a blockbuster made by Hollywood is indeed a classic movie, that is, for the name of [Star Wars], its box office in the West cannot be low." If it is said that it is screened in our country, then when it is like this, I think the box office should be low. It's like the Titanic, that box office is something that no one expected to do again. ”

Thinking about the box office results of the Titanic, it makes people have a blood rush. And it is undeniable that [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] is indeed a sincere work, but the audience just doesn't buy it, it's really hard to explain such a thing.

Ye Ming said with certainty: "I know this, but the situation is different, the Titanic can be said to be an irreproducible miracle."

Think about it, how long has it been since [Star Wars: The Phantom Crisis] been shown in the United States, half a year, in fact, it won't take half a year, half a month, and pirated discs will be on the market. The quality of those pirated plates on the market today may not be good, but at least you can watch it. Therefore, as long as the fans of our country love [Star Wars], it is impossible to let go of this [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] in such a situation, and more than ninety percent of people have watched the pirated disc.

Tell me, if I had spent ten dollars on a disc and watched it comfortably on my couch, would I still spend thirty or forty dollars to watch the same movie at the cinema?"

Ordinary movies are now more than 20 yuan, but movies like Hollywood blockbusters are estimated to not cost more than 20 yuan, and if they cost 30 or 40 yuan, it is a very annoying and normal thing.

Therefore, on such a question, Ye Ming is very open, and in fact, [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] did suffer a box office fiasco, and this is something that everyone never thought of again. You must know that Titanic has not been introduced at the same time, but it has created a box office miracle.

After Ye Ming said this, Zhang Yimou was silent, piracy, it is true, who made Star Wars so famous, the prequel was naturally pirated early.

At that moment, Zhang Yimou said helplessly: "If I shoot a blockbuster, I must focus on cracking down on piracy, and I will definitely not give them room to start." ”

Although this is said like this, Ye Ming also knows that it is difficult, let alone Zhang Yimou, even the General Administration cannot completely eradicate it. After passing by Ye Ming's side, he said with the attitude of a winner: "Manager Ye, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I have time to go back to my place to drink tea." ”

Drinking tea, what kind of tea to drink, isn't it a war letter to Ye Ming? This is provoking Ye Ming, Chairman Liu broke the sand on the issue of the five-yuan ticket price, and was ruthlessly put on the spot by Ye Ming, and in the end, although he was good at explaining the relationship and calming down the matter, Chairman Liu couldn't get over it.

Therefore, I thought of taking advantage of this opportunity of [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] to teach Ye Ming a good lesson, and invited Ye Ming to drink tea in the past, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Ming's brilliant film and television will definitely have to pay a considerable price if he wants to screen [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis].

The New Film Association will definitely not let go of this opportunity to kill Ye Ming.

In such a matter, Chairman Liu can be said to be playing perfectly.

He wanted to see Ye Ming's good looks, but who knew that Ye Ming said with a smile: "It must be certain, I wish Chairman Liu a big box office hit, can the New Film Association have a good year, just count on this film, right?"

What I said was also a bit yin and yang, and there was no sincerity at all. Chairman Liu snorted, as if he was unwilling to deal with young people, and sat in his place proudly. Feng Xiaogang came back and said: "Ye Ming, you didn't participate in this matter, you gambled on your movie, it seems that it was premeditated, and now I am looking forward to your movie more and more." ”

Ye Ming also has his own cinema chain, so it is impossible not to care about the source of the movie, if it is said that he can screen [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], it is very beneficial to the brilliant cinema line, restricting Ye Ming from doing this, naturally means that he has a good movie in his hand, and thinking that Ye Ming wants to make a film himself, it is estimated that the bet is on his own movie.

Although Feng Xiaogang also thinks that Ye Ming may be overwhelmed, but, thinking about the popularity of [Crazy Stone], in such a situation, Feng Xiaogang is sincerely looking forward to Ye Ming's new film works. And the box office of this new work is related to the topic of the next tea party. (To be continued)
