Chapter 123: Seminar (2/5)

Fan effect...

Mango Terrace is familiar!

After "Happy Boy", Tianyu Media created a "Happy Fire Boy", and the box office did not reach 3 million.

So, they scoff at it ...

- Fans' money, how can it be so easy to cheat!

Then, "Eight Stars Hug Joy" was released...

Brushed down the box office of 95 million...

This movie continues the routine of Huang Baiming's New Year's films, and was sprayed out by netizens, the only reason why it can be a big sell, added Da Mi Mi...

You see, 95 million, for those directors in Hong Kong, even if it is a big hit at the box office...

In any case, many investors recognize the concept of fan economy...

Now, it's just a big IP - big IP + traffic star, for a while, the most popular model...

A bunch of hot money is pouring in...

Now, who has the highest followers?

Lu Xiaoran!

But he... Basically, I don't accept outside dramas, and people don't lack this kind of salary!

Who is left?

Tangtang, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Yang Xiaomi, Tang Yixin, Wang Kai, Jing Tian, Huang Xuan, Jing Boran, Yang Yang...

it, it's basically orange!

These people, except for Yang Xiaomi, everyone else picks the script!

It's not fun...

Yang Xiaomi should be grateful for "Twenty Years Old Again", after this play, there are several times more scripts looking for her!

There's even "Little Times"!

......

In mid-January, Lu Xiaoran announced on Weibo that "Fireworks in the Day" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival...

Except for their own fans, few people spoke.

Everyone is busy doing the annual inventory, who has time to take care of you?

Moreover, it is only shortlisted, and it is not a golden bear!

There is another reason, Lu Xiaoran publicly made remarks on the Internet that he 'disrespected the Oscars', which annoyed many people...

You know, there are a group of film critics in China who make a living by writing about topics such as 'how far are Chinese films from the Oscars', what do you say 'Chinese films don't need the affirmation of American awards', is it to cut off his job?

The Oscars he didn't know were American awards?

Food!

No one listens to him, how does he win his reputation, how does he make money?

In addition, a series of films produced by Orange were once again absent from the Golden Horse Awards, "The Great Golden Robbery", "Piano of Steel", "Source Code", "Twenty Years Old Again" four films, as well as "Sun Burning Heart", which won the Venice actor, five movies, all heavyweight!

"Piano of Steel" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes...

The Golden Horse Awards star is at least half dimmed...

But they don't care, they have Saidekbale...

By the way, "Those Years" was screened in the mainland, and Orange Cinema only gave one film schedule a day, and the distributor China Film wanted to say something, but he was directly scolded back by Brother Song 'because the director is a hardcore fetal poison'!

Shut up above...

I'm really in a hurry, Orange made this matter public, and it made a big fuss, see how you release it!

......

At the end of the year, the annual box office big data was released.

"Transformers 3" 1.081 billion, ranking first;

"Source Code", 806 million, ranked second;

"Kung Fu Panda 2", 671 million, ranked third...

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", "Longmen Flying Armor", and "Twenty Years Old Again" are still in theaters, and they are not in the category of statistics...

Orange released four films this year, two of which made it into the top 10...

"Source Code" is 806 million, surpassing China Film's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", Bona's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Huayi's "New Shaolin Temple", and Guangguang's "Painting Wall"...

Private film factory, orange ranks first!

Hua Yi is embarrassed this year, Feng Xiaogang has been absent for a year, the total annual box office is 320 million, and six movies have been produced...

It's not even as good as the light!

Guangguang relied on the two movies "Painted Wall" and "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" to get 340 million box office - bad movies are bad movies, and the revenue is very good.

Bona relied on Wang Jing, Mak Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Er Dongsheng, "God of Wealth Inn", "Eavesdropping 2", and "The Great Magician" three movies to win 408 million box office!

As for Lay's and Wanda, they are still accumulating strength...

On January 16th, the Art Bureau and the Film Bureau met again...

The "Source Code" seminar was held at the China Film Archive.

A bunch of experts and professors came, and of course Lu Xiaoran also participated in the meeting, but he only listened to the beginning, and he was not interested: the theme is that Chinese films are going out!

To quote a short paragraph, "The source code is selling well in overseas markets, and the most worthy of the pride of the Chinese people is the contribution to the dissemination of Chinese culture, and as the most disseminated Chinese film art, it is even more responsible to undertake this important responsibility..."

What does Source Code have to do with Chinese culture?

That's a romance movie, with a soft sci-fi shell!

Huang Zhongjun whispered: "Oranges are amazing this year!"

“... Small fights, how can it compare to Bona, monopolizing Hong Kong and Taiwan directors!"

"I can see that those people rely on the dock, some rely on Huayi, some rely on Bona, and some rely on Zhongying. But they just want to make your money in their bones, and the cost of the movie is getting higher and higher. They are now thinking, how can they come to the mainland, develop mainland themes, invite mainlanders to film, they are producers, and they are integrated with the mainland's creative team..."

"No, we can be the producer!"

"Don't be too hostile to them, it's a family after all!"

“... A hundred years ago it was a family, and now, it's hard to say..."

Yu Dong choked and was about to say something, when Han Sanye over there coughed: "Xiaoran, it's time for you to speak!"

I speak?

Zhong Lifang whispered a reminder to 'develop the American market!'

it!

So hanging, you actually want to develop the American market?

"The North American box office of "Source Code" is 36.2 million US dollars, which is already the highest box office in North America for Chinese films in recent years, in fact, all films in the world can enter the North American market, find a good distributor, give him money, and he can help you contact theaters, usually 10-20 movie theaters..."

"I've heard that more than 2,000 theaters in North America have opened for Source Code!"

"That's because the distributor is Universal Pictures, and we sell the rights directly, and if we distribute it ourselves, it is impossible to get the support of mainstream theaters!"

"Wanda bought AMC..."

“... The problem is not that theaters are in theaters, but that North America is not interested in watching Chinese-language films! The strength of Hollywood movies for decades has made American audiences form the habit of watching only local movies. In the eyes of Americans, foreign language films are niche literary films and alternative films, and most audiences will instinctively reject foreign language films when they hear them. ”

"We now have a distribution company in North America, Huayi, Bona, and Orange, which we did together, and last year we invested five million dollars and released thirteen Chinese-language films, with a total box office of less than 1 million..."

"China's market is the fastest growing in the world, and I think it's better to focus on the present..."

An expert said: "Don't be presumptuous, Source Code is very good..."

"After Universal wins the rights to Source Code, it will be profitable at the box office, and there will be DVD copyrights, TV copyrights, and Internet copyrights, which have nothing to do with us... People help you promote it because you can bring benefits..."

"Wanda is doing very well now, buying theaters, buying studios..."

"Then is he still a Chinese film company? To put it mildly, capital has no borders, so he won't care what happens to your Chinese films, people can follow Hollywood blockbusters!"
