Chapter 117: Looking at the Market (1 Explosion)
Sweet and sweet!
"The Pretender" has become a phenomenal TV series, and breaking 5 has proven everything.
What's more, "The Pretender" has obviously not bottomed out yet.
Everyone is paying attention to how many miracles this "Pretender" can create!
But in any case, with the drama "The Pretender", Lin Chen can become one of the directors with a little heavier.
Five works, all successful!
This can't just be described as luck or luck.
It's all about fucking strength.
Almost after the premiere of "The Pretender" broke 3, Lin Chen received a lot of cooperation calls, not to mention after breaking 5.
From the very beginning, I hoped to cooperate with Lin Chen on a script, and then said later that I would only pay money, and the script would be written and filmed casually.
It seems that because of the success of "The Pretender", investors can be regarded as having unprecedented confidence in Lin Chen.
Not only investors, but also all kinds of interviews made Lin Chen a little anxious.
In the office, Yuan Ye said unhurriedly: "Anhui Provincial Satellite TV hopes that you can participate in one of their interview columns, because they also want to add another fire to "The Pretender".
In addition, so far, 20 film and television companies have been asked to discuss cooperation, but I have rejected all of them according to your instructions.
However, Director Lin, you still have to pay attention to how we will go in the direction of the next part.
Zhou Ping from Jihai Media also called just now, and they hope to continue to work with us in the next play, with no limit to the theme.
......
After listening to Yuan Ye, Lin Chen thought for a while and said: "Five days later, "The Pretender" should reach the climax of the whole play, you tell Anhui Provincial Satellite TV that it is most advantageous to bring the "Pretender" crew to the interview at that time." ”
"Okay. ”
Yuan Ye nodded lightly, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "So what are we going to shoot in the next drama?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, and I need to think about it again. ”
Lin Chen paused when he said this: "Of course, a movie should be made next, and we should also go to the film industry to hang around." ”
"What?"
Yuan Ye was a little stunned: "Mr. Lin, you're not joking!"
Lin Chen obviously didn't expect Yuan Ye's reaction to be so big: "Our company can't only shoot TV series, and the film market must be entered." ”
"I know this, but Mr. Lin, the film market is not something we can enter and play now. ”
Yuan Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Mile Film and Television is one of the eight major companies, but they still have little advantage in the film sector, why can't I stay in the cloud at Jihai Media before?
It's no wonder that Yuan Ye's reaction was a bit big.
At the beginning, Yuan Ye joined the film department of Jihai Media with enthusiasm, but who would have thought that the film department would invest in the production of 5 movies in two years and lose money.
To put it simply, it's a loss that wants to call Dad.
The worst "Hip Hop Bear" has a box office of 565 yuan, and the box office of the best one does not exceed 10 million.
That was really a painful experience for Yuan Ye, second only to being dismissed after joining Jingchao Film and Television after being found to have a fraudulent resume.
Therefore, now when he heard that Lin Chen was going to wander in the film circle, Yuan Ye almost jumped up.
What are you kidding?
Is it possible to swing around the film industry casually?
Jihai Media is so awesome that it has been planted.
Our Spark Film and Television has just started, shouldn't it be stable at this time?
So Yuan Ye had to persuade: "Mr. Lin, we are really not suitable for entering the film industry in the short term, do you see how many film and television companies and TV series directors have entered the film industry and hit the streets." ”
Lin Chen shook his head slightly: "We are different!"
Yuan Ye was puzzled: "What's the difference?"
Lin Chen almost sang: "It's different, it's actually the same"!
Fortunately, a big brake came in time: "Don't worry, I know it." ”
"Okay, but I still hope that Mr. Lin can think carefully. ”
Yuan Ye also stopped persuading each other.
I've been working together for a while, and of course he understands the character of this Mr. Lin.
What's more, "The Pretender" is in a state of rebellion.
I only hope that Mr. Lin will not be inflated and really want to enter the film industry.
I don't want to fucking change jobs again.
Think about it, when Jihai Media was in the past, Yuan Ye had to leave because of the failure of the film department.
finally started all over again, and if he had to leave the film department because of Xinghuo Film and Television.
In that way, think about it, Yuan Ye's chickens hurt.
In the office, Lin Chen also fell into deep thought.
He naturally understands the cruelty of movies, because TV series and movies are two completely different circles.
There was a blowout in the film market in 2017, especially the 5.68 billion box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", which occupies the time, place, and people, which can be described as unparalleled.
In addition, the "Iron Fist of Shame" of the Happy Twist team, which has a slightly worse reputation, also won 2.1 billion box office.
The box office of "Fanghua", "Predecessor 3", "Kung Fu Yoga", and "Journey to the West" also starts at more than one billion.
But what few people noticed were the worst grossing films of 2017.
Speaking of which, everyone must not believe it, how much is the box office of the worst movie in 2017?
169 yuan.
That's right, you read that right, the total box office is 169 yuan.
Doesn't it feel amazing?
I believe many people have not heard of this movie, it is called ...... "Hometown Noodles and Ginseng Flowers".
More people may only know the movie "Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz" throughout the year.
The director of this movie has the confidence of a fan, and later even sued Douban for 1 yuan.
This film Lin Chen believes that it will have a place in the entire history of Chinese cinema.
Because this movie is not only the lowest and worst movie in history, especially the theme song "Circle Circle" is quite brainwashing, but anyone who can listen to it must be called a "hero"!
Thinking of this movie, Lin Chen also shook his head slightly, after all, it was a piece of chicken feathers.
In particular, the director of this product also gave "Dream Travel" a score of 1, commenting: The title of the film is plagiarized from "Dream Showbiz"!
It can be said that it is very showy.
At this time, Lin Chen received a call from Zheng Ye.
After the broadcast of "The Pretender" broke 3 ratings, Zheng Ye called Lin Chen to thank him.
This paragraph is even an occasional phone call.
In addition to thanks, Zheng Ye wanted to inquire more about Lin Chen's plans for the next play.
Although Zheng Ye was not short of film appointments because of the corner of Minglou, he still watched Lin Chen's next play, so today Zheng Ye finally asked: "Director Lin, do you have a plan for your next play?"
"I don't have any plans yet, I want to wait until the end of the broadcast of "The Pretender". ”
Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said: "So if you have a suitable film appointment recently, you can apply, and if there is a suitable role for you in the next play, I will definitely give priority to you." ”
"That's good. ”
Zheng Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, what he was waiting for was Lin Chen's words.
"The Pretender" finally made Zheng Ye gain attention, and it is precisely because of this that he needs to be more cautious.
Isn't there no such example in the entertainment industry?
A drama became famous, and then a series of drama selection mistakes consumed its popularity.
With the super high ratings of Lin Chen's "The Pretender", Zheng Ye believes that Lin Chen's next drama will definitely attract attention.
If they can cooperate for the second time, then it will be very good for Zheng Ye.
On the other side, as if it had been discussed, Qiao Geng, Yu Lei and others also called in turn.
Of course, not only them, but also the actors of "Love Apartment" also came to inquire about one or two.
Especially Yan Feng!
This time, "Marriage Agency" is starring Yan Feng, and the current ratings cannot be said to be bad, but after all, it was PK by "The Pretender".
For this reason, Yan Feng also expressed his hope that Lin Chen's next play must think about himself.
As for Chen Yuan, who is slightly closer to Lin Chen, not to mention, this goods means that as long as he chooses him in the next play, then he will definitely not fill Lin Chen at the finale banquet.
After a phone call, Lin Chen also put his thoughts back on the movie.
"Just because you make a movie doesn't mean you don't shoot a TV series. ”
Lin Chen muttered to himself: "There will definitely be a lot of investors willing to cooperate in the next TV series, as for the movie, I'm afraid it can only be shot independently, so the TV series will continue to play a big one, and as for the movie, let's start with a small-budget movie." ”
Lin Chen wrote down two forms of TV series and movies on paper.
"A small-budget movie, if it's a ghost movie. ”
Lin Chen thought at this time that his TV series was entered with "Soul Ferry", so the movie also entered with a ghost movie, or a thriller?
But then Lin Chen crossed out the option of 'ghost film'.
Whether it is the gore of "Saw Horror", "The Grim Reaper", or "Smart: Ghost Record", it seems that it is not suitable for the current market of this time and space.
Lin Chen understands that if the movie is not selected according to the market, then he has a plug-in.
What did "Journey to the West" look like when it hit the streets?
As for "The Shawshank Redemption", which has long occupied the first place in the Top250 of the IMDb website, how much do you guess the box office?
The total box office is only 28.34 million, and the cost of this movie is 25 million, especially with 33 screens in the first week, the box office is only 720,000 US dollars.
Therefore, time, place, and people are indispensable.
You let "Wolf Warrior 2" try it on a different schedule, if he can still get such a high box office, then I will show you the women's clothing directly.
The first movie is still based on stability.
Lin Chen also lightly crossed out some low-budget foreign movies.
Then, at present, it seems that you can only choose from a few low-cost movies made in China.
"Comedy, action, suspense, love, costumes?"
Lin Chen wrote down every subject, and at the same time, he planned to go to the cinema in the next few days to see the specific situation.
In a word, which theme is most suitable for this market at present.
So, which movie will Lin Chen shoot.
If you want to change the film market and lead the market trend in your first movie?
Are you stupid?
