Chapter 297: Remembrance (5/6)
There are a lot of people, and the CEOs of major film and television companies are basically here, and Zhang Zhao of Lay's is also here - "Taiping Wheel" is a joint investment and production of Pony and LeTV Pictures.
Lu Xiaoran took Tangtang Candy, followed by Yang Qing, and the three of them got out of the car.
Li Ming is not a well-known figure outside the circle, and there are not many reporters and media here...
Most of them think about stealing a few stars, and then take pictures back...
I didn't expect so many people to come!
Lu Xiaoran is here!
A group of reporters hurriedly surrounded them, and one of them almost poked the sugar candy with a microphone, and Lu Wubai's thinking bodyguard finally had a place to use!
Directly stepped forward and grabbed his microphone, and with a glance, the reporter Pia fell to the ground...
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to be interviewed today!"
Lu Xiaoran didn't stop, and went directly into the mourning hall...
……
"How could it be so sudden?"
“… Who knows!"
"Give me a cigarette!"
“… Give!"
Ning Hao lit it for him, Lu Xiaoran took a sip, and then sighed: "Why do you say people want to die?"
"People are meant to experience joys and sorrows, and no one can avoid them!"
"I know, it's just a little hard to accept..."
"Let's go, come back tomorrow!"
Lu Xiaoran snuffed out the cigarette, walked into the hall, and said goodbye to her sister-in-law...
In the hall, there is still mourning music...
A bunch of people discuss what to do after the ponies...
Li Li's voice is especially loud...
The last article of "Just Collected" is "Little Miscellaneous Feelings": The man downstairs is sick to death, and the family in the next room sings on the gramophone, and the opposite side is to play with children. Upstairs there were two people laughing maniacally, and there was the sound of cards. There was a woman on the boat in the river crying for her dead mother. The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, I just think they are noisy.
Lu Xiaoran posted a Weibo:
"Big Dog Brother is gone, and I suddenly remembered a strange origin, the first time I met Big Dog Brother was at a party at the end of 06!"
Li Dagou, whose real name is Li Ming, was born in 1966, belongs to Ma, a native of Hunan, graduated from Guangyuan, was born in advertising, and then turned to TV dramas, and single-handedly founded Pony Bento Pictures, the owner of one of China's six major film and television companies. ”
"My first film "Border Storm" was invested by him, and later invested in my "Rescue Mr. Wu", and then I wanted to transform and make "Time and Space Traveler", and he was also very supportive..."
"The big dog brother in my impression always laughs loudly, shouts loudly, scolds loudly, rough, violent, wild, and has no one in his eyes, like being in the wilderness. Again, I had dinner with a few friends and asked him to help me book a room, and when I was about to settle the bill, the manager came over and said, Brother Dog said, "Don't settle the bill!"
"After stripping off the multiple coats of businessmen, film and television company bosses, etc., he is affectionate in his bones, there is a certain smell between us, people will be bullied in the industry, and I hope to have a big brother by his side to carry it together!"
"Big Dog Brother is gone, I miss him very much..."
……
The largest shareholder of Pony Bento is Beijing Pony Huanteng Investment Company, holding 45.33% of the shares.
Xiaoma Huanteng is wholly owned by Li Ming's three siblings, of which Li Ping holds 50% of the shares, Li Li holds 16.67% of the shares, and Li Ming holds 33.33% of the shares.
In addition, Li Ming directly holds a 3% stake in Pony Benteng, while Li Li and Li Ping hold 5.2% and 4.4% respectively.
In other words, Li Ming is not a major shareholder!
"Then why is my sister-in-law the chairman and general manager?"
"Because most of the management recognizes my sister-in-law! And my sister-in-law has a debt of 200 million!"
Zhong Lifang continued: ""Taiping Wheel", Xiaoma invested 200 million... Do you really think this movie is unreliable?"
"When have you ever seen me make a mistake in judging the box office of a movie?"
"Taiping Wheel" has an investment of 350 million, and the production and publicity are close to 400 million!
The two episodes are added together, and the box office does not reach 250 million...
The word of mouth is broken, and the box office is a fiasco!
"That's... Do you still want to take over?"
“… I can't throw the debt to my sister-in-law, so I should repay the big dog brother for his kindness... You go talk to them, 300 million, we'll take over!"
Zhong Lifang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If you directly bid 300 million, they will think that "Taiping Wheel" will definitely make money, and they won't sell anything!"
“… Then buy it at the original price and tell them that there is no market for this movie!"
"Do you think they haven't studied the market? They think that "Taiping Wheel" is very likely to become China's "Titanic"!"
“… They're thinking too much!"
In fact, "Monster Hunt" and "Taiping Wheel" are both examples of the film industry's well-made.
The difference is that box office bigwigs like "Monster Hunt" are popcorn films made entirely for the entertainment of ordinary audiences, and the director puts himself in a relatively low position, the theme never crosses the line, and the story does not go deeper, ensuring that the story is smooth and the special effects pass the test, and please the audience to take the money and leave.
The director himself said that the purpose is not to let the investor lose money!
There's nothing to be ashamed of, people also make movies honestly and make money honestly.
Wuyusen must be thinking about a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, "Taiping Wheel" is a very ambitious movie, photography, sets, scene scheduling, special effects, and actors are all considered to be the top grid in domestic films.
Take out the lower part alone, the publicity is done, and the box office is conservatively estimated to be 500 million at the box office, which should not be a big problem.
"Taiping Wheel" fluttered at the box office, and it was so miserable, the external reasons have been analyzed enough, it is nothing more than dividing the money into the upper and lower episodes, using "Titanic" as a gimmick, false propaganda positioning is inaccurate, and the bad word-of-mouth of the last episode affects the lower part and so on.
Speechless Sen himself has no reason?
The script of "Taiping Wheel" is really not good!
Which of the current audiences has not been influenced by domestic TV dramas for many years, and the feelings of family and country in "Taiping Wheel" are no longer too attractive.
Domineering generals and rich daughters, big-headed soldiers and orphan girls, Taiwan doctors and Japanese girls...
Each pair's stalk has been performed countless times by others.
Speechless Sen shoots very seriously, and the degree of completion is also very high, but it is not an egg!
Watching "Taiping Wheel" always has the feeling of watching a TV series, the script lacks concise beauty, and no matter how sophisticated the technique is, it can't cover up the old TV series-style narrative technique!
Even if the box office of "Taiping Wheel" is not tens of millions, but more than a billion, it is also a victory of the big cast + well-made film industry, and it has nothing to do with emotional artistry!
In addition, a sentence: The box office pounced on the audience, who had no ability to appreciate it, and couldn't understand Director Wu's feelings or anything, which was disgusting!
Let me just ask: The war scenes in "Taiping Wheel" are comparable to "My Regiment"?
……
"Forget it, leave it alone... It's really not good, wait for the last episode to be released, and I'll pay for the next episode!"
Zhong Lifang really wants to refute, as long as you intervene, they will subconsciously think that you see the benefits...
"No Man's Land" was pitted for a wave...
And she didn't think there was anything big wrong with the pony - the market value was estimated at 3.6 billion.
Huayi offers 3.6 billion yuan to buy pony...
However, she didn't bother to say so much, so she simply changed the subject: "That... Do you remember to promote "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" on Weibo!"
“… Know!"
