Ah, the scene of the press conference of Ahri Pictures, in a conference room of the hotel.

The senior management of the group, as well as the leaders of the next few projects, are all there.

One by one, Fan Luyuan looked around and said, "Everyone, since the establishment of the group, there are not many projects launched, some have succeeded and some have failed, after nearly a year of resource integration, in addition to the publicity and distribution business of Tao Piao, the company will increase investment in film and television production in the next two years, these projects are very important in the early stage, and I hope everyone will work together to do a good job in these projects." ”

Since the fiasco of "Tomb Robbery Notes" last summer, Ah Lifu has gone through the top management again, and there has been no movement except for the two guaranteed releases that he won.

Fan Luyuan is not an ordinary person, otherwise Ma Yun would not have been able to rashly let a person who does not know how to come over and take charge of Ahri Pictures.

In the past six months or so, Fan Luyuan has also had a more thorough understanding of the film and television industry, and carefully selected these projects, and the two Hollywood blockbusters also flew to the United States to talk with Paramount.

It has been two years since Ahri Pictures was established, and two years is undoubtedly precious for an industry that is in rapid development.

Ah, what the raccoon dog has is money, and there is no shortage of resources, if it does not really occupy a place in the film and television industry within three years, it will definitely be a failure.

The original envy and the joy of the past two years have developed rapidly within two or three years.

"Nowadays, the Internet has an increasing impact on the film and television industry, and many companies such as Tengxun and Wanda have begun to develop the film and television industry in an all-round way, and we must seize this opportunity for change. ”

"These four films, as well as the distribution business of two films, and the success or failure of the six projects, determine the position of Ahri Pictures in the film and television industry in the future. ”

Fan Luyuan said very seriously to Chen Kexin, Wang Jiawei and others.

"Fan Dong, please rest assured. ”

Wang Jiawei's Zhedong Film Company officially entered the arms of Ahri, and the cooperation with Bernard for many years came to an end.

Chen Kexin was the same, he finally recognized Ma's father, and his cooperation with Berner ended, and he refused Han Tang's invitation to him to direct "July and Ansheng".

There are only a few large domestic companies, and the most lacking producers and directors are Ahri, Tengxun, and Wanda, and the latter two cooperate with Berner and Guangxian respectively, and they don't have much choice.

Chen Kexin raised a question, "Fan Dong, will these current movies deliberately run into Hantang movies like last year?"

Fan Luyuan said with a smile, "This is not necessarily, the issuance will be handled by Taopiao, and the specific schedule will depend on the situation." ”

No, Chen Kexin also breathed a sigh of relief, in addition to "The Ferryman" produced by Wang Jiawei, the other three films were produced by him, and he also had some investment.

Whether you admit it or not, whether you have confidence or not, it will not be good to meet the movies produced by Han and Tang Dynasty head-on.

is really too strong in the past, a "The Return of the Great Sage" sold 1.3 billion during the Spring Festival, and the all-star lineup of "Havoc in the Sky" was pressed under him, and Valentine's Day also successfully marketed a film that broke 100 million on the first day.

After talking for a while, several producers and producers left, and the executives of Ahri Pictures held a meeting by themselves.

When everyone went out, President Zhang Wei shook his head, "They are so afraid of Han Tang, why don't they just cooperate with Han Tang." ”

COO Deng Kangming said with a smile, "Chen Kexin and Zheng Zhiwei have been friends for so many years, it is impossible to go, Han Tang asked him to shoot the youth film "July and Ansheng", and Wang Jiawei and Han Tang did not get a good schedule for cooperation, and some popular schedules could not be their turn. ”

Executive Director Liu Chunming said, "To put it bluntly, there is no place to go to Hantang, and none of Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, or Ning Hao can squeeze in." ”

Fan Luyuan shook his head, "Don't talk about this, in addition to these movies, we need at least one movie that can sell well, at least at the billion-level level, pay attention to it, and see if Hantang Media has any projects that you fancy recently, no matter how much it costs, grab it for me!"

All of these movies have good prospects, and they are all small and medium-cost films, which can basically guarantee profits, but it is difficult to sell and make a sensation.

Wang Baoqiang is good at acting in comedy, but he has been used as the second role before, and it is uncertain whether the male number one has that effect this time.

Previously, Wang Jiawei and Liang Chaowei's "The Grandmaster" had a good reputation, but the box office was only 300 million.

Even if the previous good reputation has a bonus to "The Ferryman", Wang Jiawei's films have never been a big hit, and Fan Luyuan does not have much hope.

It needs to be a big seller, a billion-level big movie, whether it is for the stock market, the industry, or for the top management of Ahri.

But where is it so easy to make a billion-level movie, Fan Luyuan thought of a trick to "wait for the rabbit".

Tang An's favorite films are all big hits, not to mention breaking one billion like "The Return of the Great Sage", even if there is a 500 million level like "Beijing Love Story", it is not bad.

Although this practice of staring at others and then cutting off the beard is a bit tricky, everyone has no objection.

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "Zhou Xingchi's new film "Mermaid" has begun preparations, Han Tang seems to be in contact with Guangxian and Zhou Xingchi, and is ready to invest in Happy Twist's first movie." ”

"Happy twist?"

After all, Fan Luyuan doesn't know much about the film and television industry, and it's a little strange to hear this name.

"Happy Twist is a company specializing in stage plays, which has been established for ten years, and it is Shen Teng's company. Zhang Wei explained.

Speaking of Shen Teng, Fan Luyuan knew, after all, he had been on the Spring Festival Gala for several years in a row.

Since Zhao Benshan did not attend the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Teng's sketches faintly meant to take over.

Fan Luyuan asked, "What type of film?"

"Comedy, they plan to adapt a drama from the first two years and put it on the big screen. ”

Drama actor

Fan Luyuan thought about it, Shen Teng's fame in the past two years is not small, after all, there is a stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

However, no matter how big it is, it is not as big as Zhao Benshan back then, and the box office of those films made by Zhao Benshan can only be said to be okay, and there are no big sellers.

He asked again, "What about Zhou Xingchi's new film, does Han Tang want to release it?"

"It should be that I want to jointly invest and issue with Guangxian, but Guangxian is now cooperating with Tengxun, and it should be difficult for Hantang to interfere. ”

Deng Kangming added, "Tang An and Wang Changtian have a good relationship, and it is not impossible. ”

And maybe it will be like "Heart Flower Road", and grab it at a high price. ”

""Journey to the West" has broken one billion, how much can this new film be guaranteed? 1.2 billion or 1.5 billion? With such a high number, Tang An will not be able to open it. ”

Everyone has their own opinions, indeed, Zhou Xingchi is not as good as Ning Hao, Ning Hao's previous highest box office is about 300 million in "The Great Gold Robbery", and Zhou Xingchi already has a film of one billion, and the guaranteed price cannot be lower than one billion.

If it really goes to 12 or even 1.5 billion, it will be crazy.

At present, the highest guaranteed price is the billion guaranteed price offered by Ah Li's for "One Step Away", even if Jiang Wen succeeds in "Let the Bullets Fly", this figure is also a great risk.

Fan Luyuan thought about it for a while, and his heart sank, "In this way, pay close attention to Zhou Xingchi's new movie, and if you are sure that Han Tang is interested, you will grab it, even if it really costs 1.2 billion!"

Don't look at the difference between one billion and 1.2 billion, there is a difference of 200 million, but there is a world of difference.

When it comes to the number of one billion, I am thinking about an additional 200 million box office, which means that the follow-up trend should be very good, which is very difficult for commercial blockbusters, and most of the box office potential is generally consumed in the first half of the month.

It's also that Tanuki Pictures is not bad for money, and it has already been listed, so you don't have to worry about the annual loss that will lead to the inability to go public.

Ah, Tanuki Pictures is not afraid of spending money or losing money, this is what Ma Yun has emphasized to them many times, and everyone has no objection to the guarantee of 1.2 billion.

Zhang Wei asked again, "What about the happy twist?"

"Pay attention over there, if Han Tang is really interested, he will also intervene, but the focus is still on Zhou Xingchi's new film. ”

At first, Fan Luyuan thought that as long as it was Tang An's favorite film, he would grab it at a high price, but after knowing which films, he would measure them himself, and he didn't pay much attention to the films of Happy Twist.

So many big things have happened in the film and television industry this month, and Tang An, who is filming in Zhuozhou, has also been paying attention.

During the lunch break, Tang An hung a curtain in the room next to the set, and watched the press conferences one by one.

At Maoyan's press conference, Wang Changtian was full of spirits and declared that this was the most correct acquisition he had done.

Bernard's 100 theaters joined Wanda Cinema Line, and Yu Dong smiled a little reluctantly.

The first U.S.-listed film and television company finally ended up with a gloomy exit, and now has a market value of more than 6 billion yuan, not even one-sixth of Huayi.

Hantang Pictures, which has only been established for more than two years, has a valuation of 18 billion, and even if you remove Nuomi Films, it still has more than 14 billion, which is more than twice the market value of Berner today.

As for the video of the later Ahri press conference, Tang An looked at the names and lineups of those films, which made people turn off the projection.

The few movies invested by Ahri are nothing good, and the only one with a high box office is "Pancake Man".

It is not surprising that Ahri bound Wang Jiawei and Chen Kexin, originally they later bound Dong Ping's Huanxi Media.

However, this time Dong Ping couldn't find Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, he didn't have a chance, and he was still staying in Ahri.

"July and Ansheng" originally wanted to find Chen Kexin to shoot, but now it has also been rejected.

It is estimated that even if he didn't go to Ah Tanuki, he wouldn't pick it up, after all, he had a very strong relationship with Zheng Zhiwei.

He started a company with Zheng Zhiwei two days after filming his debut that year, and Zheng Zhiwei helped him a lot.

Zheng Zhiwei also has a father who is a detective, and he is the younger brother of Inspector Lei Luo, the prototype of reality in the movie "The Legend of Lei Luo", and he is also a detective.

Although the official rank is low, he is not even a probationary inspector, but in Xiangjiang at that time, it was also the apex of what the Chinese police could do, and then there was Inspector Zonghua, just a few people.

Sesame is a big official, but he has a lot of power, and he mainly manages the community.

Although because of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Xiangjiang, he fled to Baodao, where there was no extradition regulation, and Xiangjiang's assets were also seized, but he still had some connections in Xiangjiang, which gave Zheng Zhiwei a lot of help.

And Zheng Zhiwei's daughter Zheng Baoyi has developed well in Baodao, and she also has a relationship with her father.

Ahri has recruited two Xiangjiang directors, and it is not very competitive, and even the core of the entire Ahri Pictures is Taopiao.

Without Tao Piao Ticket, Ah Tanuki Pictures can't even do Lay's Pictures.

Lay's at least has a complete ground distribution network, and Boss Jia behind it is quite rich now, with a net worth of more than 20 billion, and even more than a year later, Lay's market value can skyrocket to 150 billion, not to the point of running away.

Guangxian's acquisition of Maoyan was expected, otherwise there was no need to sell Xinli's shares.

As for the cooperation between Guangxian and Tengxun, it is not too surprising.

It's just that Berner is getting involved with Wanda again, which Tang An didn't expect.

Yu Dong has long had the intention of delisting from the NASDAQ, after all, the market value is still far from 10 billion, watching Huayi break 40 billion, Guangxian also hit 30 billion, and Huace is also approaching 20 billion, he must be unwilling.

The 100 movie theaters owned by Berner originally wanted Tang An to absorb them, but he didn't expect to get together with Wanda quietly.

There was no movement at all, which was a little strange.

Tang An suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Sheng's phone.

After chatting a few words and making an appointment to go back to the capital to have dinner together, Tang An hung up the phone with a frown.

The butterfly wings stirred up a little, and a lot of things were ahead of schedule.

Jiang Defu, one of the Chinese film giants, will go to Wanda to serve as senior vice president of Wanda Cultural Industry Group, and concurrently serve as the chairman of Wanda Cinemas, the chairman of AMC Cinemas, the chairman of Wanda Film and Television, and the chairman of Wuzhou Distribution, in charge of all film and television businesses of Wanda, that is, Ye Xuan's position.

Although Ye Xuan's whereabouts have not been decided, it is obvious that he went to Huayi as vice president and CEO of Kyushu Distribution.

Jiang Defu's rights within China Film can definitely rank in the top five, he is in charge of the marketing branch, and he also led the establishment of China Film Digital Cinema Line, and almost completely controls the distribution business of China Film.

The importance of China Film Digital Cinema is even far greater than that of any cinema chain, not to mention several cinema chains of China Film Holdings, and even more important than Wanda Cinema at present.

You must know that nearly 90% of the cinemas in the country are using China Film Digital's digital projectors, and China Film Digital has to charge 1%-3% of the agency distribution fee for each film that uses China Film Digital projection equipment.

Last year, the total domestic box office was nearly 27 billion, and according to the 2% agency distribution fee, China Film Digital will take away 540 million net profits.

China Film Digital used to be the only company in China that has a digital master production system, even now, 80% of the digital movies in China are taken to China Film Digital to make digital master disks after they are done, and the master disk is copied, basically the copies are made by China Film Digital.

China Film Digital Cinema Line was established under the auspices of Jiang Defu, and together with the China Film Marketing Branch, it almost controlled the distribution business of China Film.

Now that Jiang Defu is gone, according to what Lin Sheng said, Campey has made a lot of effort behind him, after all, the distribution business is the top priority, and it must be controlled in hand.

When Jiang Defu was the director of the publicity and distribution department of the Beijing Film Studio, Yu Dong was the chief of the distribution section under him, Jiang Defu went to Wanda, and it was normal for Yu Dong to cooperate with Wanda.

However, there is also good news, with Jiang Defu moving, Lin Sheng's rights as the deputy general manager in charge of issuance will increase.

So many things have come together, Tang An has received a lot of news in the past few days, Xiang Huaqiang wants to bleach a sum of money, and is ready to cooperate with Huayi to shoot "Legend of the Gods", just like history, there is a time difference of several months.

There is nothing to say about the movie itself, a big bad movie, but the IP of Fengshen is broken, which will have some impact on Wu Ershan's "Fengshen" series.

However, there are two sides to everything, the audience has just finished watching a super bad movie, and they will have better senses when they turn their heads to watch a film with good quality on the same theme.

It's like going to eat a bite of S, and then going to eat, you will feel that the food is much better.

Comparing "Legend of the Gods" to S, it is not insulting to it, it is impossible to make a good film for the sake of money, and this kind of big production must spend a lot of money if it wants to be filmed well, which is contrary to their original intention.

It is said that it is 400 million funds, and if all of them are used to make movies, the risk is too great, once it is lost, it is difficult to explain to Hua Qiang, after all, it is not his money alone.

Tang An called the company and asked the public relations department to pay attention to the other party's movements, and if they want to bundle marketing with the "Fengshen" series, they are also a little prepared.

The cooperation of several companies has a lot of problems next, but there are still about twenty days of filming time, and it is not a big matter, so Tang An didn't say much, and he will wait until he goes back.

The lunch break passed quickly, and filming began.

No need to shout, the assistant director and executive director are already preparing.

All departments of the crew and actors are preparing for their work, Tang An sat in front of the monitor, flipped through the script, and had a very clear and unambiguous understanding of the next shots in his mind.

Half an hour later, the preparations were completed, and the shooting began.

The protagonists of this afternoon are Xiao Di and Shi Yue An Xin, the scene between the sister and the younger brother.

The first shot is when my sister is in a bad mood and is about to use duct tape, but the tape is taken by my brother to help him glue his laptop.

The unaware sister thought that the younger brother was playing with it and wasting it, and she was in a bad mood and lost her temper with her younger brother.

"Did you take my tape, where did you go, give it to me, I'll be useful. ”

Xiao Di walked out of the room quickly and asked Shi Yue An Xin impatiently.

Shi Yue Anxin looked at her, and said with some words, "No, no, I didn't take it." ”

The child is actually better shaped, this child still has some filming experience, the assistant director has talked about the scene for nearly two hours, demonstrated countless times, and performed well in front of the camera.

It looks like taking the family's money to buy snacks and being found to be in denial.

But it's not in place yet, the younger brother in the film is ready to surprise his sister, and he wants to wait until the laptop is glued.

However, Tang An didn't shout to stop and let them continue acting.

Although Shi Yue Anxin didn't admit it, Xiao Di was still suspicious, especially when he found a piece of tape on his body, he was even more certain.

Reaching out and tearing off the tape, the impatience on Xiao Di's face has turned into anger, "You still say no, so what is this? ”

In the face of accusations, Shi Yue Anxin did not tell the truth, and said, "I didn't." Then he ran away with an aggrieved face.

Seeing this, Qin Hairu, the mother next to her, said to her younger brother with some reproach, "Why do you talk to your brother like this." ”

Getting along with her violent father for a long time, her temper has also become irritable, and she is the same as everyone when she is unhappy, and she has no good temper with her mother, so she went back to the room without saying a word, and when she closed the door, she made a "bang", which showed her mentality at this time.

"Click, do it again. ”

After a shot was taken, Tang An continued, starting again.

After so long of training, Xiaodi's performance has grown a lot, and it has made great progress from the obvious TV series performance before.

Grinding one shot at a time, no matter who it is, as long as the director has high requirements, basically he can have a good performance.

The lack of acting skills in filming TV series is not empty talk, after all, there is a big difference between the performance methods of TV series and movies.

For example, the upcoming filming of "Operation Red Sea", the performance of the original Hai Qing has a deep habit of filming TV series in it, and it is too inconsistent to put it on the big screen.

For most of the scenes, the director of the TV series can get by, and over time, the actors themselves don't have a standard in their hearts, anyway, the director has said it.

I don't know how I acted, I have been acting according to the previous director's satisfaction, but the unqualified performances are performed, and the acting skills are either fixed forever, or they are getting worse and worse, and there are very few who can continue to improve.

It's not okay to do it once or twice, after filming for the third time, call the actors and let them watch their performances, Tang An will explain on the side, and then let Qin Hairu or someone demonstrate.

It's just grinding slowly, good movies, and good shots are grinded out.

Shoot a shot in two hours, then take a five-minute break to continue.

In the next shot, Xiaodi and Qin Hairu quarreled about the divorce and ran to the roof alone to cry.

may be because the two hours in a row were all scenes where the characters were angry and angry, but this scene was done five times.

Crying scenes are the basic skills of actors, but they are not called crying when they are screaming and their faces are distorted, and that kind of performance is not qualified to be put on the big screen, which is far worse than many Korean dramas.

There are many textbook-like crying scenes in Chinese film history, such as Zhang Guorong in "Farewell My Concubine", once on the night when Juxian and Duan Xiaolou were married, Zhang Guorong and Yuan Siye sang in the garden, and sang to the part where Yu Ji killed herself, she really entered the play too deeply, forgetting that it was a real sword in her hand, and her backhand was horizontal to her neck, which was stopped by Yuan Siye, Zhang Guorong was stunned, and then two lines of tears fell suddenly, it was really sad and beautiful.

There is also the suicide scene in "The King of Guns", he cried while raising the gun and putting it next to his temple, repeatedly, but he couldn't do it, his eyes were red, full of struggle and madness.

But this is not the most classic part of this crying scene, the most classic place is in the back, he cried and cried, suddenly put away his tears, the helpless expression stayed on his face for a second, and then converted into calm, he loaded the bullet into the chamber, got up and went out, and went to the police to fight to the death.

Zhang Yanyu's crying scenes are also many classics, and her appearance is very suitable for crying scenes.

In this scene of sitting on the roof of the building and crying, Tang An asked not to make a sound, not to open his mouth, and not to have too many tears.

The main thing is not to cry, it's not time to cry, but to show grievances.

Then I found the roll of tape on the roof of the building, and found my dropped laptop in the clutter in the corner.

The laptop, which was originally broken, has now been glued together piece by piece with duct tape.

It's ugly, it's beautiful.

I went downstairs with my notebook and went home, and I had to cry out loud in this crying scene.

It's just crying and laughing, and the same expression can't be too intense and exaggerated.

The elder sister was crying and laughing, and the younger brother wiped her tears with his hand in front of her.
