"Avatar" can no longer be described as a big hit, 52 million in a single day, 225 million in 5 days, which no one expected.

The 11 IMAX giant screens across the country are full 24 hours a day, day and night, and even people who have bought tickets ask for leave to go to the movies.

And the same is true for the only 700 screens, which basically sold out the tickets for the next day in the morning.

Movie theaters with IMAX and 3D screening halls rarely saw a queue boom comparable to that of the Spring Festival.

In this era, movie tickets can only be pre-sold one day in advance, and tomorrow's tickets are sold out and you can't buy them the day after tomorrow, so you can only queue up early tomorrow morning.

Some viewers watched three shows in a row on the same day, and watched all three versions of 2D, 3D, and IMAX3D.

With the different viewing effects such as IMAX, ordinary 3D, and 2D being understood by the audience, tickets for all 3D screens cannot be bought if they don't go in the morning.

IMAX tickets even have to queue up in the early hours of the morning!

Now the 3D ticket price has doubled, and the IMAX ticket price has even risen to 700 yuan, which is still hard to find!

Almost all of the 11 IMAX-owned movie theaters were running at full capacity, and the booking phone rang all day.

Most movie theaters have canceled half-price tickets on Tuesdays, and some people even raise ticket prices privately for the sake of profit, and all the money raised goes into the hands of movie theaters, which is not included in the total box office, and the theater chain and the producer can't get it.

Nowadays, "Avatar" has become a social phenomenon, and the objects of people's chats have changed from stars and TV series to movies.

Viewers who have watched IMAX are proud of it and constantly brag to their relatives and friends.

With 11 IMAX screens, the movie is 160 minutes long, and with the interval in between, it can only show up to 88 shows a day, and very few people have seen the IMAX version.

It is said that many companies are now preparing to produce 3D movies, and the threshold of these well-known special effects companies in China is about to be broken.

And after learning that there is 3D conversion technology, it only takes five or six million to convert the already lined 2D movies into 3D format, and many producers do not hesitate to pay for it.

Whoever doesn't turn is stupid, and anyone with a discerning eye knows how far the audience's pursuit of 3D has reached now.

And some of the films that have been produced are considering whether to convert to 3D before releasing them.

On Tang An's side, as early as when the single-day box office of "Avatar" exceeded 50 million, he and Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Qin Hong decided to add an additional 40 million as the 3D transformation fee of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Others spent 5 million on the conversion, they spent 40 million, the effect is clear at a glance, and when the time comes, I have watched too many of these 3D subtitle movies, and then watched "Edge of Tomorrow", which is definitely a huge contrast.

Tang An can't take out this money now, but fortunately, he can't use it now, and he will have money after the release of "Thai Embarrassment".

A lot of money is required, "Painted Skin" was launched a few days ago, and he interviewed several directors, all of whom were rookie directors who became a little famous later.

Wang Wei, the director of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", a stunned kid, is only 21 years old this year, not to mention the directing major, he didn't even study in college, he used to learn PS, 3D, and renderings as an intern in advertising, and then went to learn animation.

After finishing my studies, I went to a wedding company, where I was responsible for editing, starting from nothing, and now I have just started filming weddings.

is such a stunned young man, just because the announcement of Han Tang's recruitment said that once selected, he could direct a TV series alone within a year, and he came to the interview.

Tang An also left him behind, and studied with which crew for two years, which can be regarded as a reserve talent.

Lu Xing, the director of "Undocumented Crime", has just graduated from the Beijing Film Studio, and is a rookie director from a professional class, and some of the short stories he shot during his school were not bad.

It's good to be able to pick out two of the seven or eight newcomers, but you can't use them directly yet, so let's start with the drama first.

Their later famous works are all crime-solving web dramas, and the rhythm is good, and they don't drag on at all, which is very good.

I have also invited some post-70s directors, such as Xu Jizhou and Du Jiang, who are all more capable of post-70s.

But they also made some names, even if Tang An gave a promise, they were not willing to take risks.

......

Come to the company and call Ya Ning.

For a company, the copyright library cannot be less, not to say that it needs to be used immediately, at least all categories and scripts must be available.

"Mr. Ya, please take a seat, how are all the copyrights discussed?"

Ya Ning, who had half-white hair, was not polite, and sat down opposite, and at the same time handed the document in his hand to Tang An.

He explained, ""Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" has now sold more than 10 million copies physically, which is a very best-selling product, and the website still thinks the price is low. The copyright of the TV series "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is very smooth, and the price is cheap, and you know, chairman, even if the TV series is adapted, it cannot be broadcast on TV. ”

""Ghost Blows the Lantern" must be taken down, film and television, and game copyrights are required, but there is no need to deliberately spend a lot of money. ”

The copyrights of this era are not worth much at all, and it is even said that they cannot be sold at all, not to mention that those supreme gods later sold tens of millions at every turn, and no one even asked for 100,000.

"In addition to the ones I specified, you can also see for yourself what are famous, have potential, and have the possibility of adaptation, and list them down. ”

"Okay chairman. Ya Ning nodded.

Not long after he left, Zhuang Liqi knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman. ”

"Mr. Zhuang, did Zheng Xiaolong agree?" Tang An asked him to sit down and asked with a smile.

Tang An decided to find someone to shoot "The Legend of Zhen Huan" first, but there was no director in the company, and the newcomer was unreliable.

Although the TV series is the art of screenwriting, as long as the director shoots according to the script, there will basically be no big problem, but Tang An still wants to find the original director first.

Zhuang Liqi nodded and said with a smile, "I worked with him in Huaguo TV Drama Company before, and Liulianzi also wrote two episodes of scripts, and after taking these two episodes of scripts and showing them to him, I agreed." ”

"That's good, let's prepare this TV series first, as soon as the script comes out, the project will be established, and the actors will be selected by Zheng Xiaolong himself, as long as our actors are used first. Tang An nodded.

"Thai Embarrassment" will be released in February, and there will be money when the TV series starts filming.

However, the chairman, Director Zheng asked the Beijing TV Drama Art Center to participate in the investment, at least 30% of the share, and participate in the sharing of all profits. ”

Tang An is not surprised by this request, Zheng Xiaolong is the director of the Beijing TV Drama Art Center, and the TV series he has filmed before have been invested by the Art Center.

"30% of the investment is OK, but you can only participate in the first three rounds of sharing, and all the income after that will go to us, and the full copyright must be retained. Tang An thought for a moment.

Later, even if "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was rebroadcast three years later, it could sell the price of the first round of many TV series, and there were many replays, and the follow-up was definitely a hen that kept laying eggs.

"No problem, this should be negotiable. Zhuang Liqi nodded, after three rounds, it was almost worthless.

"How much does Zheng Xiaolong want?" Tang An asked again.

"180,000 in a single episode. ”

"160,000, try your best to talk. ”

160,000 episodes is already the price of a top TV series director, and it is also worthy of Zheng Xiaolong's worth.

has more than 70 episodes of TV series, and the salary is also tens of millions.

After arranging one thing after another, these are naturally responsible for the following supervisors, all of which are very good and professional, and Tang An doesn't have to worry about follow-up things.

Otherwise, there are two presidents and general managers, Chen Guochang and Xu Manyuan.

If he had to stare at any project from beginning to end, the chairman who was still a fart would be tired to death sooner or later.

Next year's projects are almost all set.

"Edge of Tomorrow", "Painted Skin 2", and the upcoming "Thai Embarrassment".

"The Happy Past of Lao Ma's Family" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Film and television dramas go hand in hand, and when the funds are abundant next year, we will start to build cinemas in third-tier cities, and spend money to broaden publicity and distribution channels.

At noon, I had a meal with Chen Guochang and talked about the preparation of "Edge of Tomorrow".

A department of indoor and outdoor scenes is ready to shoot first.

The start-up time is set for January 4th, so that everyone can have a New Year's Day.
