Chapter 100: The Beginning of March (2/3)
The film market has the appeal of those actors!
The top level of the film industry is occupied by male actors, and among the actresses, even Sidan Shuangbing dare not say that they can resist the box office alone.
In addition to Gong Li and Maggie Cheung, who are the gods of Kaifeng, tradition believes that Sidan Shuangbing is the first echelon of Chinese film actresses...
Orange later cultivated a group of actresses who can play, but the real top is Liu Yifei and Tangtang, plus the fat flute with "Wolf Warrior 2"...
Several others either took over literary films in addition to the purpose of challenging themselves, and then hit the streets, and had to take over the filming of TV series to return to blood.
Either like Liu Shishi, occasionally picking up a movie, most of the time in the TV circle...
If you have money to make and give more, you don't have to be a people's artist...
Lu Xiaoran met Ms. Zhao in Shanghai, and she was invited to a business event...
When I saw Lu Xiaoran, I was in a good mood, and I chatted with him for half an hour, without mentioning "Daughter Country"...
You see, people don't care about any of that!
……
"Online dramas are really zero profits, I hope that Tang Tan can become a big IP that is accepted by Chinese audiences in a real sense, and our own originality, and can even be used as comics, gamification, derivatives, and paradises. ”
"Online dramas can establish their own cosmology faster than movies, and like Marvel, new characters keep jumping in. ”
In addition, you can also use online dramas to train new directors and screenwriters who will cooperate for a long time, understand the boundaries of team members, and create more possibilities. ”
"Many Chinese films today are very successful at the box office, but that success is just an example, just the movie itself!"
"Industrialized content production must have greater commercial possibilities. That's the next blue ocean in the truest sense of the word!"
briefly introduced to the media the online drama "Tang Detective", which was officially launched in the evening, and when asked about the production cost, Lu Xiaoran replied with a smile: "There are 12 episodes in total, and the cost of a single episode is more than 10 million..."
"We have zero profit at all, the cost of buying films on the website is our production cost, we don't want profits, we use it all on production. ”
"I started with the idea of doing 24 episodes, in Thailand, Taiwan and Japan, with three detectives as the protagonists, 8 episodes in each place, and 4 episodes of one case, in other words, two cases per detective... Later, I didn't have enough time, so I just filmed the story of a detective, Lin Mo, who is Tang Ren's apprentice and one of the actors in the third "Detective Chinatown"..."
"When I did the first story of 'Detective Chinatown', I found that if the sequel was Tang Ren and Qin Feng in the future, it would actually be quite boring. I wanted more detectives to appear, and when I was working on the script, I suddenly thought of the concept of a detective contest and wanted to make a leaderboard. ”
"TV series?"
"I probably won't be doing TV series anymore... TV dramas now have a lot of stubborn problems, and if these can't be solved, the creativity of TV dramas cannot be guaranteed. ”
"The box office of "Tang Detective 2", I hope to enter the 5 billion club..."
After the, Lu Xiaoran immediately flew to Shenzhen by plane, then Yangcheng, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing...
Until March 2nd, I returned to the capital...
There's really nothing to say about the roadshow, it's just around movies and online dramas, just accept inquiries casually...
By the way, Lao Liu may be worried that Lu Xiaoran is a little lonely to run a roadshow alone, so he volunteered to help run a few cities together...
Facts have proved that Liu Yifei is still Liu Yifei, and every time she goes to a place, the people who call her name far exceed Lu Xiaoran!
……
At the beginning of March, Lu Xiaoran ended the middle and late stage roadshow publicity...
returned to the capital, at this time, "Tang Detective 2" was released for fifteen days, and the cumulative box office was close to 4.2 billion - the hit of the TOEFL "Detective Chinatown" web series...
Orange re-made the prediction: the total box office is 5.4 billion...
Unlikely, on March 9th, "Black Panther" will be released, on March 16th, "Tomb Raider: Origin War", "The Shape of Water", "23rd", "Pacific Rim: Thunder Rising"...
The market enters the Hollywood blockbuster time period...
The first thing I did when I got home was to attend a drinking party.
Orange held a cocktail party - to congratulate "Knives Out" on breaking $800 million at the global box office...
became Lu Xiaoran's third film to break $800 million worldwide...
To some extent, it can be regarded as showing muscles to the market - this year's film list will also be released...
By the way, "Knives Out" didn't have a single Oscar nomination...
It doesn't affect making money, Orange participated in "Knives Out" by 25%, making a profit of at least $100 million, which is definitely a big profit!
At the same time, Huayi also held a cocktail party, and they invited many people to clear up the depression of last year.
In last year's year-end inventory, Huayi ranked last among the six major film and television companies, and was not even as good as the rising star Tang Xiao Culture, who successively led and participated in the investment of popular films such as "I Can Say", "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Wushuang", which provided a guarantee for the growth of the company's main business.
Among the top 20 films at the mainland box office of the year, Huayi has only one "Fanghua"...
In terms of main business, although the Huang brothers have produced movies including "Young Babylon", "Beautiful Accident", "Peerless Master" and other movies, these are all loss-making!
This is not the first time!
Huang Zhongjun personally went out of the mountain and announced the revocation of Huang Zhonglei's position as the head of the film business...
de-cinematization directly developed Huayi Brothers Media from a market value of nearly 80 billion to less than 30 billion...
Of course, relying on the heritage, they are still opponents that cannot be underestimated, this year there are "Little Master" that continues the style of "Lao Paoer", Jia Zhangke's "Children of the Rivers and Lakes", Xu Ke Di Renjie's series "Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings", and the focus is on "Eight Hundred" created with 700 million funds!
Feng Xiaogang Film Studio will launch two Chinese New Year comedies: "Mobile Phone 2" and "Marriage Lab"...
In addition to the film business, they are also preparing to return to the TV series business, "Long Time No See", "My Father and Stepfather" have all been sold...
The most eye-catching is of course "Mobile Phone 2", the original cast of "Mobile Phone" re-starred - Fan Xiaopang was just a firewood girl at that time, and now Fan, that is called a wealthy Fan!
I thought I could grab the media, but I was robbed of the headlines by Orange - Orange publicly said that this year's domestic goal is 28 billion yuan at the box office...
……
"I'm more worried about this year's animated film market!"
“… Yes, this is the eighth year, in addition to a "Return of the Great Sage", and "Big Fish and Begonia" can barely be called a hit, this year it was even crushed by "Bear Infested"..."
Orange's "Big World" released last year, the cumulative box office did not reach 6 million, and I can't imagine that this is the work of the Orange Anime 'Big' series...
"This year, there are two animations: "White Snake: Origin" and "Wind Whispering Spell"... I don't know how much box office I can get!"
"I think "Wind Whispering Spell" is okay, at least 500 million!"
“… You're thinking too much. ”
Lu Xiaoran rolled her eyes, and was about to talk to her about the animation market, when Zhong Lifang suddenly said, "The pony is gone!"
“… Pony Bento?"
