Chapter 151: The Return of the Great Ship (1/5)
"What do you say about me?"
"What else can you say? The money in the movie industry is not enough, and now I am making a TV series!"
Zhong Lifang walked over...
Brother Song nodded at her, and then went back to his office, where he was now in charge of the Orange Cinema Line.
Regarding the cinema line, the focus of Orange's layout is not on the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but on the second- and third-tier cities.
Learn from the future generations of the Earth Cinema Line...
There are basically movie theaters in the bustling areas of major first-tier cities, and squeezing them further into it will become vicious competition. In contrast, second- and third-tier cities lack high-quality cinemas and have room to be developed.
Of course, the layout of first-tier cities is not indifferent, and the business of Orange Sky Golden Harvest China Cinema is mainly concentrated in Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing, and it has done a good job...
It is really outstanding, there are six companies with an annual box office of more than 20 million, of which Shenzhen Chengtian Jiahe Cinema had a box office of more than 30 million last year, ranking sixth in the country, and the annual box office of the entire Chengtian Jiahe Cinema is about 500 million.
Therefore, Orange spent close to 1.5 billion to acquire them, which took up a lot of cash flow.
In that year, Chengtian only spent 600 million yuan to acquire the business of Golden Harvest Cinemas, which nearly tripled in less than five years...
According to the concept, before 2015, there will be more than 90 directly operated theaters and more than 800 screens.
Of course, these are only tentative plans - the whole company feels the benefits of having a cinema chain, not to mention that many movies will consider oranges instead of Huayi when they are released, and the biggest reason is that Huayi has too few cinemas on hand!
β¦β¦
Boss Lu then clicked on Tianya, and sure enough, someone said, 'Is Lu Xiaoran Jiang Lang talented'...
"It's not online, and now it's starting to guide public opinion?"
"With a rhythm..."
ββ¦ If I make a TV series, I'll call Jiang Lang talented?"
"Maybe you think you're the Golden Bear..."
"Ignore them, I'll shoot mine. β
Love black or not...
Anyway, it doesn't affect the TV station to buy films!
Regarding movies, TV series, there was a time when there was a real difference in the level of film and television production.
For example, makeup, lighting, etc., because the movie is filmed, the lighting conditions require more attention to makeup, and many TVs use natural light, the lighting conditions are relatively low, and the makeup is more natural.
For another example, because the film is filmed and the equipment is more cumbersome, the arrangement and transfer of the shots are more particular, and each shot is arranged separately, so that the shots in a scene are not shot together in order, which has higher requirements for all parties, especially the actors-you have to switch between scenes, emotions, and lines, while TV can sometimes shoot several shots at a time in order.
Because the film is filmed, its picture resolution is much higher than that of TV - the resolution of TV was very low back then, 625 lines, and the color was much higher than that of TV, so the picture quality can be said to be a world of difference, and the requirements for the picture level are naturally very different.
What's more, movies have always been treated as works of art, actors are all professional, and performances are systematic, while TV has been a civilian since its birth, relatively speaking, it is more inferior, and the performance is more inclined to nature, there are not so many systems to talk about, and nature gives people the feeling that the level is different.
So there was a time when movie actors didn't bother to make TV series.
However, the camera equipment of "Star You", including the lens presentation, is top-notch, using 4:2:2 HQ, 25fps specifications, AlexaHD cameras for normal shooting, Phantom cameras for high-speed shots...
Why is the specification low?
By the way, Lu Xiaoran really thinks Alexa is the best HD camera at present, aside from its speed and use in strong light and low light conditions, it is still very good in design, easy to operate, suitable for handheld shooting, and has good balance.
Of course, the price is also a big plus...
Alexa is positioned as the mid-range.
β¦β¦
The status of "Titanic" in film history is too high!
In addition, "Avatar" has achieved huge box office success with excellent picture effects, so this "Titanic" processed by Cameron with 3D technology naturally makes the media eager to try.
An ordinary domestic film may be given a cold reception by the media, but who can ignore this "giant film from history"?
There is no need for celebrities, no interviews, no need for touring to build momentum, public opinion will naturally zoom in and focus on you 360Β°.
Search for the relevant news under the entry of "Titanic", and find 120,000 articles in a second, half of which were released before the release of the film.
As of April 13, the North American box office of Big Ship 3D was $36.14 million, and the mainland box office has exceeded more than $40 million, and by Sunday it had soared to 440 million yuan.
On the 15th, it has exceeded 500 million yuan.
This is the first American film to surpass the U.S. box office in China, and this achievement also makes China the country that contributes the most box office to the film in the world.
Industry insiders said that as long as the box office decay curve is normal, the total box office of the 3D version of the big ship will exceed 1.5 billion yuan...
In a sense, this speculation is scientifically justified: the total box office of ordinary commercial films is 3-5 times that of the box office in the first week, not to mention that this is "Titanic 3D"!
A bunch of directors chanted 'The wolf is coming!'
""Piff" and "Manslaughter" should be moved back to the schedule, in order to have more space for screening. According to today's terrifying 70% attendance rate throughout the day, "Battleship" and "Soul Chariot 2" will be greatly affected next week, especially the latter. There isn't enough space in Battleship, so how can you have enough space in a week?"
Uh, by the way, Brother Xiao Ming also made a movie "Piff"...
is the movie that has been touted by many marketing trumpets: Huang Xiaoming's most underrated movie...
Of course, the media also asked Ning Hao, who promoted "Manslaughter", and he replied: "Our film industry is still relatively naΓ―ve, in a relatively rudimentary form, in the face of Hollywood's mature industrial posture, I think there must be an impact, and it is not a particularly small impact." So at this time, we have to mobilize all our forces, and the director can't just sit at home and create, he must come out to help promote the film and sell it well!"
"We still want to fight, and Xiaoran also said that "Titanic" is a re-release movie after all, and it would be too frustrating if we avoided even the re-released movie!"
"Manslaughter... is the story of an ordinary father fighting wits and courage with the police in order to protect his daughter. β
"The script was written by Xiaoran, he wrote an outline, and then I found someone to perfect it..."
"Why put it in Thailand... Of course, there are censorship considerations, but more to make the film narrative a little more normal..."
"He makes idol dramas..."
"I don't think it's anything, I've heard him tell that script, it seems to be an alien story..."
"It's definitely not bad, the production cost of this TV series is 200 million, and all the shooting equipment is top-notch, you will know when you watch it!"
"No Man's Land... No notice yet. β
β¦β¦
The crew of "Star You".
Lu Xiaoran looked at the box office of "Search" with a wry smile...
After the release of "Titanic 3D", "Search" was directly ignored...
It has fallen below 3 million in a single day.
As of the 15th, the cumulative total box office is 318 million...
Not to mention 500 million, it's a bit difficult to even 350 million now!
- Yesterday, the market totaled 98 million, "Titanic 3D" accounted for 88 million, and the rest were "New York Action", "Miami Operation"...
"Search" yesterday's box office was 2.86 million...
Is the big ship about to set sail again?
