Chapter 311: Commendation Conference

Wang Zhonglei felt that the feeling now was simply terrible.

The bad thing I say here is not that he has suffered any physical damage, but that he is simply angry with others.

Or to put it simply, he hasn't been in a good mood since the moment he walked on the red carpet this afternoon and was interviewed.

No, to be precise, it should be from the moment the nomination list was announced, Wang Zhonglei fell into a bad mood.

This rhythm lasted until his second brother decided that he would represent HY Company and participate in the 4th Celestial Empire Film Directors Association Commendation Conference.

In Wang Zhonglei's view, any awards and praise are basically useless.

As a businessman, as a leader of a private film and television media company, the most important thing is that as a listed company, there is always only one criterion to measure the success of the company, and that is performance.

In the past 2012, no matter how much Wang Zhonglei refused to admit defeat and was hard-mouthed, he could not be cheeky enough to say that the performance of HY Company could satisfy the majority of shareholders, shareholders, and even him, the general manager, and Wang Zhongjun, the chairman.

In the 2012 financial annual report released by HY Company, with the release of films such as "Counter War", "LOVE", "Tai Chi" series, "1942" and "Zodiac", the annual box office figure totaled 2.1 billion yuan, still occupying the leading position among domestic private film and television media companies.

But students who are familiar with the account sharing ratio of Celestial Empire movies are very clear that the production company's account sharing ratio in the total box office is basically around 33%.

Even if HY has its own distribution capabilities, this proportion will not exceed 42% at most......

After all, HY does not have a theater chain that it can call the shots.

In many cases, in order to have an advantage in film production, HY will take a certain degree of concession to the theater side in the distribution ratio, or directly pull the shell company under the theater chain directly into the film's distributor team.

Under this model, the most profitable are the undisputed leading bosses in the Celestial Empire cinema chain - China Film Group and Wanda Group.

Therefore, if you calculate it according to this ratio, among the 2.1 billion box office of HY in 2012, the one that can really enter the pocket will not exceed 900 million.

If you subtract the production and distribution costs of the above bunch of movies just now, HY's 2012 is basically a day job.

If it weren't for the fact that HY had become a listed company, as long as the company's financial annual report was good enough, he would not be afraid that no shareholders would pay for it.

What's more, even judging from the total box office figures announced by HY, 2.1 billion is not a figure to be proud of.

The old rival Optical Fiber Media has already won a box office of nearly 2.5 billion with only three movies, "Hypnosis Master", "Chinese Partner" and "Thai Embarrassment......

Not to mention the newly rising Molong Media, which only produced two movies in total, and all of them broke 500 million, smashing out a new member of the 'Billion Directors Club'.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei glared in the direction of the left with hatred, as if he was planning to use the unfathomable method of 'killing people with his eyes' to kill his target, so as to wash away the depression in his heart.

However, it turns out that the method of 'killing people with eyes' is a pure mirage, and Wang Zhonglei's target not only sits there well, but also does not see any discomfort at all......

The only result of Wang Zhonglei doing this was that Feng Gang, who was sitting on his right hand, gave him a strange look and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, the cooked ones can't be cooked, people!" Wang Zhonglei replied through gritted teeth......

…………

There are very few people in the entire entertainment industry who can make Wang Zhonglei 'care' so much, and after letting him 'care', he can still sit there like a nobody, whiter than his teeth, and there is only a certain 'shame of a traverser'.

Li Mo retracted his gaze, turned his head back to the front, stared at the stage with his eyes, and Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice in surprise, "Director Li, what's wrong?"

If Feng Gang heard Liu Yifei's question, the two would definitely know about it...... Forget it, don't lead it, Liu Yifei, a young girl and Feng Gang, stand together, how do you think it doesn't match......

"It's nothing, Yifei, pay attention to it, maybe there will be an award from our company later." ”

"Hehe, the company has no hope, Director Li, maybe it's a little possible to get a consolation prize back......"

Turning her head and glancing at Liu Yifei, Li Mo felt that there was a smell of old vinegar in her sentence just now.

The place where Li Mo and Liu Yifei are now is the scene of the 2012 annual commendation meeting of the Celestial Empire Film Directors Association.

As a young director who has directed three films, Li Mo is naturally qualified to join the Film Directors Guild in terms of qualifications.

But in the actual operation process, it took Zong Shuai a lot of effort to make Li Mo a member of this organization in the name of it.

Although the Directors Guild of the Celestial Empire cannot compare with their counterparts in the United States in terms of influence in the industry and within the industry, there are at least two points that they are very similar.

The first point is that they are all in groups.

For the pressure from the outside world, they will basically respond in unity.

The second point is that they are very conservative and ...... None of them like commercial films.

The first point is not easy to see, but the second point can be found just by looking at today's list of nominees.

The top three in the 2012 annual box office list, "Thai Embarrassment", "Painted Skin 2" and "Zodiac" all failed, and Xu Zheng and Zhou Xun were nominated for the actor and actress of the year awards respectively......

However, both of them know very well that their nomination is basically a comforting nature, and the probability of winning the award is basically zero.

The upright-tempered Zhou Xun didn't appear at all today, and Xu Zheng really couldn't save the face of his wife, and now he is also a newcomer in the director's circle, so he finally appeared here.

As for Li Mo and Liu Yifei, the two of them simply came to say hello to the old-timers, and they were just familiar.

As for meeting Wang Zhonglei here, it was completely unexpected......

Although everyone knows that public relations methods are part of the award, the Celestial Empire has done a more subtle job in this regard, although it is still the distribution of interests behind the scenes, but at least in the eyes of outsiders, it has not yet formed a dominant situation.

The film of the year and director of the year were given to "1942" and Feng Gang respectively, which also comforted his depressed mood because of the poor box office.

The actor and actress of the year were given to Huang Bo and Yan Bingyan respectively, and there is nothing to say about this.

But anyone who has watched "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" will recognize one sentence - 'Yan Bingyan contributed Oscar-level acting skills in this movie.'" ’

If it weren't for the Golden Rooster Awards, no matter how bold Li Mo was, he wouldn't dare to say that Liu Yifei would fight for the Golden Rooster Awards.

With Liu Yifei's acting skills, when he met Yan Bingyan in "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", he was only turned into slag in seconds.

As for Xu Zheng, he won the Special Commendation Award of the Jury, which can be regarded as a little comfort to "Thai Embarrassment".

The Hong Kong and Taiwan Director of the Year was given to Wei Dewan, his "Saidek???? Even though "Balai" swept the box office on Treasure Island, in the end, it still failed to recover its costs because of the poor box office in the mainland.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to the veteran director Xie Fei, which is also a well-deserved recognition for the old-timers.

As for Li Mo?

In addition to Feng Gang, he was the second person to win two awards that day.

"Master of Hypnosis" won the Screenwriter of the Year Award with its multiple flips and interlocking stories, beating one vote of opponents including "Search" and "1942".

At the same time, at the age of 23, Li Mo also set a new record for the award-winning age of the young director of the year.
