Chapter 671: High-profile entry
After obtaining Tong Liya's confirmation, Li Mo also notified several executives in the imperial capital through video conference the next day.
After communication and coordination, Molong Media quickly informed Xu Zheng and Su Lun that the company was willing to invest 60 million yuan to support Su Lun to set up the "Living Together in Time and Space" project team as a director, and strongly recommended the actors Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya under their own company to play the male and female leads.
Although Su Lun has been in the circle for a period of time and has some qualifications, in the face of the 60 million yuan smashed by Molong Media, she quickly forgot that the other party gave the actor without discussing it with her at all.
In fact, whether it is the Celestial Empire or Hollywood on the other side of the Pacific, in the entire circle, it is very common for investors to recommend actors to directors......
It's just that in Hollywood crews, directors with a certain weight usually serve as producers, so as to ensure that they have a certain right to speak and decide in the process of casting and film production, so as not to be reduced to a shooting tool.
In China, although the director can change the plot and character design without being affected by capital during the filming process, he actually has no say in the selection of actors.
Like Molong Media, even if it is just a superficial 'recommendation', at least it can be regarded as respect for the director and screenwriter......
Of course, in Li Mo's opinion, unless Su Lun deliberately wants to make trouble, the probability of Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya not being able to pass the audition will be infinitely close to zero, because even if the script comes out a little earlier, since the character settings in the script have not changed, there is no reason why the original hero and heroine will not pass the audition.
A few days later, when the crew of "Book of Swords and Enmity" ended their vacation, and Li Mo continued to follow Li Zhongzhi in Hengcheng to fight the action scenes, the domestic film market was not idle.
Because, the protection month of domestic films with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire is coming.
Compared with a few years ago, today's Celestial Empire Movie Protection Month is actually a very vague concept.
There is no way, the Celestial Empire film market has grown into the world's second largest film market, although the proportion of box office sharing of imported blockbusters will not be too high, but there are still many Hollywood producers who will adjust the schedule to meet the viewing needs of the Celestial Empire audience.
Regardless of whether the high-level executives of radio and television really understand the serious consequences of the domestic film market being completely occupied by foreign films, no one can afford this responsibility, even from the perspective of personal political performance.
Therefore, the domestic film protection month has become an existence similar to 'Schrödinger's cat'.
…… Everyone knows that it exists, but there is no clue of its existence in all the laws and policies......
Is it necessary to make it so complicated?
But in any case, as a summer file with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire, there will be at least one month in July and August every year, and there will be no foreign big-budget movies released at all.
Of course, in order to cover up, some foreign small-cost works with little investment cost will still appear.
If you can earn it, if you can't make it, it can be attributed to the fact that these movies can't adapt to the tastes of domestic moviegoers......
This kind of behavior is just once or twice, and after more times, those big producers in Hollywood will understand what is going on.
Anyway, the duration of our summer file is longer than that of your Celestial Empire, so it's great that we will advance it to May or June or simply postpone it to September, anyway, it is impossible for the Celestial Empire's radio and television department to adjust the time of the protection month every year because it wants to scare foreign films, right?
As a result, after a game between Hollywood producers and Celestial Empire Radio and Television, both sides finally agreed that in July and August of the Celestial Empire, foreign blockbusters will not be released simultaneously in China and the United States......
And then ...... A number of domestic films with box office pursuits are riveting and ready to be released during the summer vacation.
In July of 2015, domestic films like this ...... Surprisingly much.
In a month, 31 days, 37 movies chose to land in theaters at this time.
Damn, I watch a new movie every day, and I still have a surplus after a month......
Are all the people crazy about this ticket?
In fact, it's not that the distributors of these movies don't know what the result is when they are all crowded together, it's really out of line.
The year 2015 was so wicked.
Starting in April, a Hollywood blockbuster is released every month.
April's Fast and Furious 7;
Avengers 2: Age of Ultron in May;
Jurassic World in June......
Among them, even the worst-grossing "Avengers 2" also received a box office of 1.5 billion yuan, and "Furious 7" increased the highest box office record of domestic films originally held by Li Mo's "Detective Chinatown" by almost 700 million yuan......
When "Furious 7" just came out, some companies thought that the trend had passed, and tried to pick up the leak by launching their own movies, but these people were quickly taught to be human beings by the cruel reality......
Although Mr. Lu Xun once said: "A real warrior dares to face the dripping blood and the bleak ...... of life", but when the movie made by his own company with a huge amount of money was crushed into slag by imported blockbusters without suspense, everyone calmed down.
Knowing that it can't be done, this kind of thing may be able to win the applause of others, but it can't change the company's blood loss, difficulty in recovering its capital, and it is heavily in debt...... and a series of catastrophic consequences.
No one's money is blown down from the sky by a strong wind, and as a qualified businessman, it is never the right choice to go head-to-head with your opponents......
As a result, half a month after the release of "Avengers 2", on the schedule of the entire Celestial Empire cinema line, movies with an investment of more than 30 million yuan have almost disappeared.
…… The rest are such as "Death Trip", "Ali Baba" and "The Three Little Pigs and the Magic Lamp...... In this way, if it can enter the theater and be released, it will be considered a successful bad movie......
At this time, not only did the group of 'film critics' who talked about 'revitalizing the film industry of the Celestial Empire' and 'resisting the erosion of foreign commercial films' all day long have lost their voices, but even the Wang Group, which has always regarded itself as the leader of private film and television media companies, has also chosen to make a fortune in silence......
All are waiting, they are all waiting for an opportunity.
After waiting for three months, they returned.
Not to prove how great they are, but to prove that what they have lost, they must get it back with their own hands......
On July 3rd, the first Friday after entering July, Chen Ge took the lead.
His long-prepared work "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" has been released!
