Chapter 296: Bad News (4/6)

In fact, in the past two years, the sixth generation has been very honest and has not made much trouble.

Even if "Heaven is Destined" was banned, Jia Zhangke only complained on Weibo, returning to the underground or something...

Wang Xiaoshuai has no one to pay attention to him...

But he spoke directly at the Sino-French Soft Power Forum this time, and first said: In 2003, the box office of "Green Tea" was only 4 million, and the box office of "Jade Guanyin" was only 5 million; in 2005, the box office of "Hoh Xili" was 5 million, and in 2005, the box office of "Qinghong" directed by him was only 3.7 million, and the box office of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" was only 2 million...... In 2012, his director's "Me 11" grossed 4.8 million.

He said that the box office of these non-blockbuster films was basically stable, and even decreased slightly. On the contrary, the box office of the higher-grossing films is growing rapidly.

Then it all boiled down to 'the theater chain doesn't schedule films'!

In China, domestic films are no longer "about movies", but pan-marketization and pan-entertainment. ’

When talking about the French film market, he said with envy that France has a population of about 65 million, but has 5,000 screens, of which 2,000 must be shown for art films. The state will also subsidize these cinemas that specialize in showing art films. He hopes that China can learn from France's experience and promote the development of Chinese art films. ’

Then I was scolded on the hot search...

"You are so envious, why don't you just immigrate to France!"

Of course, more people are worried about whether the state will support art films...

Thinking too much, from the perspective of the theater system, Chinese theaters are almost brutal business models. The implantation of large shopping malls and the high cost of rent must rely on a large audience, make quick money, and consider the product with the most snobbish vision in order to make a profit as soon as possible.

In the current land transfer model, there is no possibility of establishing an art theater chain.

It is also unlikely that the state will do any art theaters.

Let's put it this way, this stage is the best era for commercial films, and it is also the bleakest time for so-called literary films...

Lu Wubai watched these netizens scolding all kinds of things, and he only felt extremely funny...

In the past, filmmakers were needed to scold him, but now, anyone can scold him.

In fact, directors like him should be eliminated.

After all, the box office represents the audience, and the creation of art should serve the audience and change the audience, rather than doing it behind closed doors, saying that you don't want to cater to the mainstream audience or something...

It's all excuses!

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Xiaoran looked up, it was Zhong Lifang, and replied casually: "... It's nothing, I just think Weibo is fun!"

"How to do the propaganda of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"?"

“… What else can we do? Smash propaganda and hard publicity!"

"Or, the last issue of "Let's Run"?"

"Well, let them go, and I won't go!"

"Why?"

"I'm a director, not an actor, it's not appropriate to be on such a show!"

“… But you are the selling point of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"!"

Lu Xiaoran put down her phone: "Why do you suddenly care so much about "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"?"

"The co-distributors of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" are Hengdian Film and Television, Wanda Film and Television... In terms of film arrangement, they are advantageous!"

Without waiting for Lu Xiaoran to speak, Zhong Lifang continued: "After all, the IP of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is an old thing from decades ago, and the popularity is not as good as Journey to the West..."

“… Ke Xiaofeng said that "Havoc in Heaven" is a bad movie. ”

Orange is close to 1,000 screens, not a joke, one of the eight major cinema chains in the mainland, every time there is a cinema test screening, it will be invited to participate...

After watching "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", Xiaofeng said to Deputy General Manager Yuchen: "Yuchen, listen, next time such a movie, you go to see it, you go to see it!"

Yuchen thought he had watched too much "Gunfire"...

"Is it rare for bad movies to sell well? "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is our first time competing in the Spring Festival file, and there is no room for error. ”

"Then I can't be on "Running Man"!"

That's right, Lu Xiaoran is a 50 billion billionaire, and it is indeed inappropriate for him to go to a show like running a man.

"Then let's... I'll answer a call..."

Zhong Lifang was about to continue to persuade Director Lu, but her mobile phone rang, and when she heard the first sentence, her face immediately changed greatly...

"What's wrong?"

"Big dog... Gone!"

"What do you mean?"

“…”

“… Wouldn't it, because of what?"

"My mind is a little messy, I'll go find out the situation first..."

Not only Zhong Lifang panicked, but Lu Xiaoran also panicked, he called Ning Hao's phone in a trembling voice, and the latter said, I will go back to Beijing immediately...

……

Lu Xiaoran's first noble person is Ning Hao, and the second is Li Dagou!

Li Dagou is a very attractive person!

Generally, the boss of a large company will manage the company's projects very carefully, and when he finds a director, he will not worry about anything except repeatedly negotiate with you about the conditions, but will intervene in the direction of the script and discuss what actors to use...

The problem is often here, it is equivalent to the creator has no creative freedom, if a film is done well, then everyone is good, if it is done badly, who is it?

Big Dog is different, Big Dog treats his contracted directors and screenwriters like family brothers, such as Lan Xiaolong and Ning Caishen, not just screenwriters.

As long as he trusts whom, he will give full authority to the other party, set the investment, give you reward terms, and everything else is your business, which is equivalent to you being the producer and producer of the entire project.

Responsible for operating all processes, setting directors, actors, and distributors. When all the responsibility is put on the director, everyone will not be tired, and they will do their best to do things well.

If the work is successful, there will be additional rewards, and if the work is not successful, the big dog will not complain and will continue to support you.

It is said to be "inaction", but in fact it is not "inaction".

From how the star cast coordinates the schedule, to the implementation of extras, as long as you need a big dog, he will definitely appear to help you solve all your problems.

With such an analysis, do you think it is exactly the same as Lu Xiaoran?

When Lu Wubai was managing the film project, he was really the Li Dagou who was learning!

It's a pity that the big dog brother lacks an auxiliary device like a big golden retriever!

……

Lu Xiaoran hasn't been to Pony for several years.

Since the end of the cooperation with Pony, and last year, Orange took the right to shoot "Operation Mekong" - it was originally a project of Pony Bento...

Zhong Lifang explained this to Brother Big Dog, saying that it would be a bit difficult for ponies to operate such a project.

The main thing is to complain about Lu Xiaoran, he wants to try the shooting method of action movies, Xiao Ma Ding's director is Gao Qunshu, and Jindun Film and Television is of course more willing to believe in Lu Xiaoran...

There are very few projects in the market that are recognized as good.

In addition to Feng Xiaogang's works, Huayi's other films lose money every year!

Pony is particularly bad this year, last year there were still small movies like "Happiness Quota", and this year four dramas "Female Chrysalis", "Better and Better Village Evening", "Allure", "Happy Superman" all failed miserably at the box office...

At one point, there was a problem with funding!

This is not counting, Li Ming had previously signed an "Investment Supplemental Agreement" (i.e., the "VAM Agreement") in his personal name, and Pony Penteng promised the investors that the company would be happy if the company went public before the specified date - December 31, 2013, and if it failed, it would not only have to pay the 450 million capital invested by the investor, but also pay high interest.

Unfortunately, the poor performance, coupled with the defeat of the backer, Xiaoma failed to pass the IPO review...

Not only that, Li Ming died suddenly due to a sudden myocardial infarction at the age of 47...

Li Dagou is the soul of Pony Benteng, and when he falls, it basically means that Pony is done playing...

His main job in the company is the construction and development of the screenwriter and director team, and many directors and screenwriters are directly in contact with him.

How else to run to the vine?
