Chapter 128: Watch the Film (Ask for Subscription!)
From the perspective of the market, films can be divided into: large productions, medium productions, and small productions.
Big productions.
The investment of such films is more than 100 million yuan, and their expected domestic box office is more than 80 million, they are at the top of the pyramid, and they are so-called "domestic blockbusters" with only three to five films per year.
These films are basically the same as the "high-concept" Hollywood films proposed by Jasyan Wyatt: big directors, big stars, high investment, big productions.
Due to the huge production costs, these films are all co-productions, with a complex funding structure, and the sources include the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and even Hollywood.
These films themselves have the backing of overseas funds, and overseas marketing factors have been taken into account when they are produced, so in addition to the mainland box office, they can often buy out the distribution rights in North America, Asia and other places at a higher price.
in production.
That is, medium-production films, the investment of such films is about 10 million to 50 million, and their domestic box office is between 10 million and 80 million.
There are usually fewer than ten films in this range each year.
There are three types of films in this camp: individual films with key themes, a small number of commercial literary and art films or low-budget films that take into account overseas markets, and some commercial films that focus on special markets such as Valentine's Day.
In the second camp, most of the dozen or so films are often Hong Kong films or co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong.
Small productions.
Small productions can also be divided into two levels.
The first level is for films with a production cost of less than 10 million and more than 4 million, with a box office target of 1 million to 10 million, and the number of films is about 20, of which pure domestic films and mainland Hong Kong co-productions (as well as Hong Kong films) account for about half each.
Less than 10 of the 20 films with a box office of more than 5 million are still mainly Hong Kong-made films or mainland Xiangjiang co-productions between 5 million and 10 million, and purely domestic films are mainly concentrated below 5 million.
The second level of film production costs are about 1.5 million to 3 million, the largest number, and this year there are about 160 such films, accounting for about 62 percent of the total annual output.
Some of these films have been screened in theaters, but the box office has been meager, with some films entering theaters solely to obtain a higher price for audiovisual rights, while others are released on a small-scale scale and in different regions.
The main markets for a considerable number of films are television broadcasts and audio-visual products.
A small number of literary and artistic films with high artistic standards can obtain a certain amount of compensation or even a slight surplus by selling the copyright of some overseas regions after winning awards at overseas film festivals.
Of course, there are some films that have not entered the distribution channel at all.
With large-scale production, medium-production, and small-scale production, "Heart Labyrinth" can barely be counted in medium production, but strictly speaking, "Heart Labyrinth" should actually be counted in small productions - the first level of small production.
And "Princess of Allure" is a proper big production, and even "Forget-me-not" is also a leader in Chinese production.
Therefore, "Heart Labyrinth" is not at the same level as "Princess of Allure" and "Forget-me-not" at all, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
In this case, it is no wonder that Chen Wou-Ki would propose that "Heart Labyrinth" is not worthy of being tied to "Princess of Allure" and "Forget-me-not".
As Chen Wou-Ki raised this question, everyone looked at Jiang Hongfei and wanted to hear what Jiang Hongfei had to say.
Jiang Hongfei smiled faintly, then pointed to his head and said: "First of all, if it weren't for my idea for everyone, "Forget-me-not" would have been sacrificed, and there would be no follow-up box office, and "Princess of the Alluring City" would also be crushed by "King Kong" into a joke. ”
As soon as Jiang Hongfei said this, Chen Wuji's momentum immediately weakened, and the personnel related to "Forget-me-not" smiled awkwardly, and the people in Zhongying showed contemplation.
Fan Bing saw Jiang Hongfei's words and pressed Chen Wouji's arrogance, and then pulled the personnel related to "Forget-me-not", and also stabilized the people in Zhongying, and his eyes were full of flowers!
Wang Lei thought to himself: "This kid really dares to speak!"
Chen Wuji really couldn't bear to be ridiculed by Jiang Hongfei, a junior who had nothing, so although he also knew that he had some revenge against Jiang Hongfei, he still said: "You give us a good idea, we should thank you, but business is business, if your movie is useless, we are tied to you, isn't it self-destruction, what else can we talk about keeping the position of domestic films?"
Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "Director Chen doesn't talk about art now, but talks about interests instead?"
As soon as Jiang Hongfei said this, Chen Wuji's face suddenly turned red!
Chen Wou-Ki is also Chen Xian's cousin no matter what he says, and he may still deal with him in the future, so Jiang Hongfei no longer looked at Chen Wou-ki, but looked at the others and said, "Coincidentally, I brought my master tape of "Heart Labyrinth" today, if you are not busy, we can take a look first." ”
Jiang Hongfei came to Kyoto this time to invite people from his brother company to watch the film, how could he not bring the master tape of "Heart Labyrinth"?
Wang Lei took Jiang Hongfei and Fan Bing to Reignwood Manor to discuss the release of "Heart Labyrinth", and Jiang Hongfei naturally brought the master tape of "Heart Labyrinth".
If Jiang Hongfei had just arrived, it would have been impossible for these bigwigs in the film industry to watch "Heart Labyrinth".
But things have developed to this point, how can they not take a look at what kind of movie "Heart Labyrinth" is?
So, everyone moved to the screening hall of Reignwood Manor, and Jiang Hongfei personally acted as a projectionist for everyone.
At the beginning of the film, a woman, in a white linen shirt, wears her upper body one by one, without tears or noise, making it impossible to tell whether it is a dream or reality?
The parents' plans and the wishes of the young people are often different, do the young people choose to comply or choose to rebel?
An unidentified corpse, a medal of honor, a bracelet to express love.
In reverse order, interludes, several seemingly different things, accidental occurrences, natural turns, and finally they must be linked together.
The capable expression technique and just the right rhythm immediately captured the hearts of Han Sanye and others!
Among them, the most touching are Chen Wou-Ki and Chen Ke, who are also directors.
With sincerity, the water fell into the pool and hit their heavy hearts, and even the most ordinary dog barking seemed to become unusual.
Less than five minutes into the film, Chen Wou-Ki and Chen Ke have already determined that the person who directed this movie must be a master, and this movie must be good, and it is not a low-cost bad movie that they thought was useless before.
