Chapter 16: Times Have Changed
I don't know how many chapters I can write, anyway, until 12 o'clock, I go to sleep... )
The 21 producers behind the Spring Festival file "Journey to the West" are already surprising.
There are even nearly 40 companies behind "The Great Cause of the Army".
Emperor is also one of the investors...
In the past, there were usually only 4 or 5 producers and distributors of a movie, covering production, theaters, distribution, and publicity.
Not anymore, especially for quality projects!
Crazy robbery!
Orange is the same, not to mention anything else, "Master of Memory", "I Can Say", the main controlling investor is, of course, Orange Imaging, but there are also China Film, Wanda, Haohan Film and Television, Bad Monkey Pictures, Tang Xiao Culture's involvement...
"Wushuang", not only the emperor, but also Bona and Guangxian participate in the investment.
In the case of the scarcity of good projects in the overall market, the introduction of more investors will also be considered for the replacement of some resources.
Bona voted 20 million for "Wushuang", and Orange voted for 20 million for "Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf"...
That's resource replacement!
But...
There are very few investors in "Wolf Warrior 2", except for Orange Image, Orange Ticketing, Wu Jing's Dengfeng Pictures, and Bona followed with 20 million...
Because judging from "Wolf Warrior", "Wolf Warrior 2" has a box office of more than 1 billion at most...
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" is not ordinary, in Lao Yang's words, the fans of these actors can circle the earth several times together!
The minimum box office expectation of "The Great Cause of the Army" is 1 billion...
"Times have changed, and the practice of blindly pushing stars will be disgusting..."
Lu Xiaoran was concise...
Lao Yang pondered for a moment, shook his head, and did not continue the topic...
The Emperor is making "Bad Movies: The Dangerous Way to Capture the Treasure", which is a work of a lot of stars.
"Are there any other projects after New World?"
"Look at the market feedback, if the market response is good, you can shoot a prequel and shoot a few derivative series..."
Lao Yang nodded: "I thought you weren't interested in movies that only make money!"
"How is that possible?"
Although Lu Xiaoran has feelings for making movies, these are all based on big hits.
Filmmakers with feelings have gone to the sea, and the most basic condition for being able to become Lu Xiaoran: the works are selling well one after another!
"New World" If the feedback is okay, of course it will shoot a few spin-off series...
Lao Yang changed the topic and talked about the Hong Kong movies of the year, and then looked at Lu Xiaoran very meaningfully: "The foundation of Hong Kong movies is still there..."
"I know... When I was filming "Wushuang" last year, I felt that the behind-the-scenes staff in Hong Kong were indeed professional enough, and my team was already the most professional in the entire mainland, and ordinary people couldn't cooperate at all, so I finished filming "Wushuang" in more than two months..."
Many people say that Hong Kong films are in decline, of course, compared to the golden age, it must be in decline, but it is not that the follow-up is weak, there are still many high-quality projects in recent years, "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai", "Sister Peach", "Treading Blood and Seeking Plum Blossoms" are all works of inferior quality.
Moreover, Orange's theaters in Shenzhen and Guangzhou have data showing that the schedule of Hong Kong films is significantly higher than that of mainland films - market choice!
What is really declining is the Taiwanese film industry!
No matter how bad the situation of Hong Kong films is, there are still more than 100 million people in the two regions to support it, what about Taiwanese films?
In the future, it can probably be made into a cultural carrier of the Hokkien language circle...
"Director, I toast you!"
"Gu Zai, I also respect you!"
Lu Xiaoran hurriedly raised his glass...
Gu Tianluo, Lu Xiaoran didn't dare to be black, just with his good deeds, this person can definitely be written into film history.
"What's next?"
"Filming, several dramas are waiting to start. ”
"Don't be too tired..."
Yang Shoucheng interjected: "He's not tired, all the crew are pointing to him to start work, and then he will get the money!"
“... Come on!"
This can't be helped, Hong Kong now has a few cards...
Lu Xiaoran is too lazy to care about this, "Wushuang" and "New World" strictly follow the regulations of co-productions - the number of mainland actors is not less than one-third of the total number of main actors.
......
On the morning of the 30th, Lu Xiaoran returned to Beijing.
Just came out of the post-editing room of "New World", and received a call from Tangtang, asking him to hurry home, "Lu Yu has an appointment - a big coffee for a day" to interview her, and Lu Xiaoran needs to show up and praise "I Can Say"...
Lao Lu looked at the time, got into the car, and asked the driver to drive directly to his home.
clicked on the phone and looked at his Weibo - the small one was registered, called fried big golden retriever...
People are floating in the rivers and lakes, of course, there must be a few spare trumpets.
His Weibo has basically been handed over to the team to take care of, a propaganda tool...
He hasn't posted on Weibo in person for half a year.
Of course, if you have nothing to do, you can eat a melon, and you are still happy.
Recently, there are a lot of melons in the circle, touching the stem of the school captain Bai girl, three dozen mobile phones Yang Xiaomi...
Of course, there are a bunch of hot searches about "In the Name of the People".
Lu Xiaoran only eats melons and resolutely does not express her opinions.
The disgusting thing is that he obviously doesn't pay attention to anyone, but every time he clicks on his phone, he will be 'followed' by a bunch of messy big V...
Lao Tzu is not a zombie!
Did you buy the powder on my head?
"This was written by Xiaoran's father, he felt that the wall of the house was empty, so he wrote a word, and then invited a framing master..."
Pushing open the door, a group of people carrying cameras were filming Lu Xiaoran's house...
I'm so hot mom messing with Fack!
The sixth master exposed the decoration of the house, and then was scolded for being rich and unkind...
Tangtang actually invited Lu Yu home!
However, the decoration of Lu Xiaoran's home is not luxurious, and the most valuable thing in the house should be the computer in the study...
Lu Xiaoran generally uses it to code words...
There is no comparison with the sixth master's house, and the famous oil painter Ai Xuan's "Holy Mountain" is hung on the wall of the sixth master, which was auctioned at a super high price of 20.72 million yuan at the 2010 Beijing Poly auction.
"There's a wine cabinet downstairs, Xiaoran doesn't usually drink, it's all me and Shi Shi who drink..."
"Ahem..."
Lu Xiaoran coughed, the camera hurriedly came over to shoot him, and Lu Xiaoran had a smile on her face: "Sister Lu Yu is here!"
"Director Lu!"
Tangtang ran over and hugged him very pretentiously, and then asked, "Aren't you filming in Hong Kong?"
“... It's finished, and I'm just discussing the post-production with the post-production director..."
"So fast?"
"It's already slow..."
Lu Xiaoran changed into a pair of slippers and followed Tangtang and Lu Yu to the living room.
......
After sitting down, Lu Yu said directly: "The decoration of your house is not very luxurious!"
“... Fortunately, Tangtang and I both prefer a little more concise Nordic style, and we don't have high requirements for the quality of life, and we don't like to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings..."
"Do you have any hobbies?"
Sugar Candy replied: "He likes to play with cameras, and his film studio has the most expensive camera equipment in the world!"
“... No, it's not the most expensive, I bought it to learn the whole process!"
