Chapter 994: The Current Situation of the Domestic Film Industry

"Very good, everyone has worked hard during this time!"

On the third floor of Tangting Culture, Wu Jianye sat in the screening room, looking at the special effects people next to him and the staff of the post-editing of Tangting Culture with a gratified face, and said seriously.

When the time entered December, the post-production and special effects of "Inception" were finally completed!

Just now, Wu Jianye's post-editing team led by Zhao Le of Tangting Special Effects and Tangting Culture watched the whole movie, and Wu Jianye was very satisfied with the effects presented in the movie!

The special effects in the movie were perfectly produced by Liang Zhengting and others, and the editing of the movie also made Zhao Le cut without the slightest disobedience, and the whole movie can be said to be very perfect!

"I believe that through this experience, everyone's achievements in special effects are not weaker than the level of Hollywood, congratulations!" Wu Jianye said to Liang Zhengting and others.

Liang Zhengting, Huang Zilu and others also showed happy smiles, especially Liang Zhengting, who said happily: "Director Wu, there is one more thing to report to you!"

Wu Jianye smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Zhengting said: "That's right, in the past two days, we received a call from James Cameron, who invited our company to join the special effects work of the film "Titanic" that he is currently producing!"

After Wu Jianye listened, he also showed a happy smile, he didn't tell James Cameron about this matter in advance, it was James Cameron who invited the special effects after watching the movie "Eternal Night", when he had trust in the special effects of the court!

This actually speaks to the power of the special effects!

"Then congratulations, James Cameron is a world-recognized master of special effects, and being able to work with him will also be of great help to improve the influence of special effects on the ball!"

Wu Jianye praised!

A combination like James Cameron + "Titanic", in 97, was originally a king bomb combination, and the special effects of the court can be added to such a combination, as Wu Jianye said, they have been recognized by the world!

This is actually thanks to the movie "Eternal Night", it is the appearance of the upper and lower parts of "Eternal Night", coupled with the influence of Wu Jianye, that these two movies were released within the scope of the ball, and the special effects in them amazed the world, so that the film production company of the ball also recognized the special effects!

If you add "Inception", which will be released during the Spring Festival next year, I believe that the reputation of the special effects will be completely recognized within the scope of the ball!

In fact, it is precisely because of this that after the release of "Inception", the special effects in it immediately shocked all audiences and film production companies!

And the special effects of the court also took advantage of this battle to make a name for themselves in the special effects company of the ball, and the digital field of Phantom Media, as well as industrial light and magic, are listed as the three major special effects companies of the ball!

"Tonight, the company has booked a place in Dai's Restaurant, everyone has a good celebration!" Wu Jianye said.

Immediately drew cheers from the projection room.

That night, Wu Jianye held a banquet for everyone in Dai's Restaurant to celebrate his achievements, but the happiest time was when Wu Jianye gave out bonuses.

On the second day, Tangting Culture handed over the finished film of "Inception" to radio and television for review!

The commissioner in charge of review, after watching this movie, had a shocked expression on his face, and he couldn't retreat for a long time, no one thought that such a powerful movie could be made in China, originally radio and television had a green light for Wu Jianye's movie, and this time there will be no problem!

Almost replied to the court culture at the fastest speed, this movie has no problems, and it passed the review without cutting!

After Huang Jianxin got the news, he immediately began to arrange the promotional activities before the release of "Inception", as for the schedule of the movie, it was set early on the first day of 1996, the first day of the new year!

When "Inception" began to be promoted, Zhuo Wei Film Company's "He Rijun Comes Again" also entered the promotion stage, but this movie cannot have as much publicity as "Inception".

There is only one of their propaganda methods, and that is to touch the porcelain "Inception"!

Regarding Zhuo Wei's behavior of the film company, Huang Jianxin didn't even report it to Wu Jianye, they had already made a big net and were waiting for Zhuo Wei Film Company to come in!

It's all going on in an orderly manner.

And Wu Jianye's life has once again entered a period of calm.

In the middle, Wu Jianye went to Xiangjiang again, accompanied Gong Zhen and Wu Qichen for a few days, and finally flew to the Caribbean Sea to check the construction of the island there.

Life is very comfortable!

In this year, a lot of major events have happened in the domestic film industry, but what interests Wu Jianye the most is the rise of some film directors and the development of the domestic film industry.

Last year, in addition to Wu Jianye's movies, Hollywood imported films, Xiangjiang co-productions, and Hong Kong films, among the movies released in China, the highest box office was Jiang Qian's "Sunny Day", with a box office of 70 million!

However, this year, among the movies released by domestic studios and film companies, there are three movies that have exceeded 50 million box office, and one of them has even exceeded 70 million at the box office!

And there are as many as seven movies with 30 million-50 million yuan!

All this indicates that domestic films have entered a stage of rapid development!

Last year, a group of outstanding newcomer directors also appeared in China, and the box office of Guan Qiao's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" exceeded 80 million, but because of the addition of Liang Jiahui, Zhang Manyu and others, this movie cannot be regarded as a domestic movie, but as a co-production movie!

Wang Tao of Beixue Film Company also launched his new movie this year, which is still a martial arts movie, after listening to Wu Jianye's opinion, Wang Tao gave up those so-called show-off things in his new movie, and told a story in a down-to-earth manner.

Therefore, the box office of the movie is as high as 56 million, which is the second highest box office film in domestic films this year, and Wang Tao also officially entered the domestic film industry with this movie and became a film director with great box office appeal!

However, what makes the media more interested is that the love story between Wang Tao and Dandan, the heroine of his new movie, has been reported by the media, and the two have not hidden this relationship, and now they are living together in a grand manner!

And Dandan was also promoted to the ranks of domestic first-line female movie stars with two big-selling movies last year!

The popularity is very high!

At the same time, her experience in Hengdian Film and Television City was also reported by the media, but under the operation of Tangting Culture, the media paid more attention to how Dandan became an inspirational road to a domestic first-line female movie star from a group performance.

After a series of reports, Dandan has become the idol in the hearts of the group performers in Hengdian Film and Television City, and everyone who joins Hengdian to become a group performer hopes that they can become the second Dandan!

At the same time, the emergence of Wang Tao has actually given many new directors the opportunity to come out, although some capital is looking at whether the personnel in the film critic industry can become directors with box office, and they are also working hard to discover other directors, especially some cutting-edge directors who have a certain reputation, but have no movies because of the studio system!

Among the new movies released this year, there are only three that are shot by such directors!

Because of the intervention of capital, the development of the film industry is also progressing steadily, and there are more than a dozen new film companies emerging this year.

Especially in Hengdian, because of the existence of Hengdian Film and Television City, Hengdian discovered the potential of the film and television industry early, so it gave extremely preferential policies for film and television companies registered in the local area, and for a time it became the spring of film and television companies!

Many new film and television companies have chosen this place to register!

The intervention of private capital has made film and television companies spring up like mushrooms after the rain.

Although the domestic film and television industry has risen, the national studios have too many people to raise, and at the same time, they are facing problems such as the rigidity of their own factory system.

In the competition with private film and television companies, they are slowly falling behind, and the loss of talents is extremely serious.

Even if they are already actively trying to save themselves, but looking at the current situation, the possibility of them wanting to save themselves is very small!

This can also be seen from the second half of this year, Standard Chartered Bank began to tighten loans to studios!

The domestic film and television industry is undergoing tremendous changes, and if the studios can't think of countermeasures in time, they will inevitably fall behind!

At the same time, not only the national brand studios are facing the situation that they may be eliminated, but also the national brand theater companies are also facing such a situation.

The outdated equipment, the inability to keep up with the trend in the viewing environment, and the confusion in management are all problems of the national brand cinema company, with the success of Fengge Cinema Line in China.

It has also attracted a part of the capital to enter the cinema market, although they do not have the abundant funds of Fengge Cinema, but now they are also trying in a certain area, so they will see that there will be a variety of different cinemas in some cities, some of them are one or two, and some are four or five, although it is not big, but it is also impacting the original national brand of the cinema company!

Now there is only one way left in front of the national cinema company, and the reform is painfully determined, but the difficulty of this reform is no less than that of the studio.

It's even more difficult than the reform of the studio!

Because their internal chaos is even more serious, and the factions are more serious!

I believe that with the rise of domestic cinema companies, the distribution companies of national brands will slowly disappear, and only a few who can achieve real reform will survive!

Prior to this, China Film deliberately approached Wu Jianye, because China Film Hall Courtyard Line wanted to incorporate these theater companies, but this not only involved a large amount of capital investment, but also a series of things such as the arrangement of the original theater staff.

In the past, Wu Jianye wanted to harvest those distribution companies, but now that the scale of Fengge Cinema is getting bigger and bigger, Wu Jianye has no such idea.

At this time, the domestic distribution company was already a burden in Wu Jianye's opinion, rather than a sweet spot to expand his strength!

However, as China Film, it is impossible to consider the same things as Wu Jianye, only considering interests, and they have to consider more other things.

Later, Wu Jianye was told by Zhongying that there was no way, so he decided to make additional investments, but one thing is that the personnel must be streamlined, and the personnel who are floating in their positions must not be able to stay!

Adopt the method of competitive recruitment!

Zhongying finally adopted Wu Jianye's suggestion, after all, they can't afford to support so many people, and in the end, it may even drag down the courtyard line of Zhongying Hall!

Moreover, the courtyard line of China Film Hall adopts a voluntary way, which means that those distribution companies at the city and county level can join voluntarily, and those who are not voluntary China Film are not forced!

Originally, China Film thought that its model would definitely be able to attract many distribution companies to join, but in fact, there were few responses

Generally speaking, the current domestic distribution channels are still dominated by Fengge Cinema Line, although the courtyard line of China Film Hall is backed by China Film and has more screens, but because of which national distribution companies, the box office generated and contributed is not as much as Fengge Cinema Line!

At this time, Fengge Cinema Line is still continuing its expansion in China, and has begun to develop from a second-tier city in China to a third-tier city!

On this day, at Dai's Restaurant, Wu Jianye participated in Chen Peisi's movie celebration banquet!

"Congratulations, if nothing else, your movie is going to become the country's box office champion!" Wu Jianye congratulated Chen Peisi at the banquet!

As mentioned before, Wang Tao's movies this year have ranked second in the national box office list with a box office of 56 million so far, and the first place is actually Chen Peisi's comedy!

Because of the existence of Fengge Cinema in this time and space, Chen Peisi's comedy movies are completely different from another time and space!

At this time, Chen Peisi is the hottest comedy star in China, and Ge You, who has not yet participated in Feng Pants' New Year movie, is still worse than Chen Peisi at this time!

This year, Chen Peisi launched a movie that Wu Jianye had never seen, but when the movie was drawn, it got a box office of 73.3 million!

Such a result naturally made Chen Peisi very happy!

It is estimated that in this life, it is impossible for Chen Peisi to act in dramas again!

However, it should be said that although Chen Peisi's movies surpassed Wang Tao's movies at the domestic box office, in terms of overseas distribution, Wang Tao's movies still beat Chen Peisi's comedy movies at the overseas box office!

This can't be helped, Chen Peisi's movie is a modern film, and the jokes and cultural attributes in it are more in line with the aesthetics of domestic audiences!

"I should be congratulating us!" Chen Peisi said with a laugh.

Although Chen Peisi's film is shot by his own film and television company, it is Tangting Culture that invests in Tangting Culture, and Tangting Culture is also responsible for distribution, and the two companies have established a deep cooperative relationship!

That's why Chen Peisi will have this to say at this time!

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Let's celebrate together!"

Chen Peisi laughed and said, "That's right, celebrate together!"
