Chapter 157: The King (4/6)
In fact, the so-called cold winter of the film and television industry, in the final analysis, is a shortage of two words!
On the one hand, in recent years, a large number of non-professionals have entered the film and television industry, which has directly led to a large number of bad movies;
On the other hand, many investors are also unprofessional and lack accurate investment vision, so investment projects have repeatedly failed, and it is difficult to recover funds and make more losses.
In fact, the above two problems have existed many years ago, but its negative effects were not so obvious in the early stage, but with the accumulation of time, when these problems are piled up to the peak, they will show a state of collapse, and this year's vigorous strict investigation and rectification of the relevant departments can be said to be "the last straw that crushed the camel".
With the development of a series of regulation and rectification, the performance reflected in the film and television projects is that the number of crews has decreased sharply, many projects have been withdrawn directly, and even many films have been stopped before the start, and there is no date for when it will be restarted.
Many people sighed melancholy: In the next two years, the audience may be running out of films to watch!
Pulling the calf, Shen Ming didn't feel that there was any problem, none of the projects he participated in were stopped...
However, Guangxian Media did stop many projects!
Last year, the top five film and television dramas of Guangguang Media were: "Havoc in Tianzhu", "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "The Dedication of Suspect X", "Sewing Machine Band" and "Chunjiao Saves Zhiming"...
None of them were hits.
The worst thing is that I missed "Wolf Warrior 2"...
What's even worse is that the guaranteed 800 million yuan will be released "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"...
"New Smile and Proud Jianghu" broadcast this year also has "New Seeking Qin", and the reputation is sparse...
In the first half of the year, there was only one "Bear Infested: Metamorphosis" that did well at the box office...
Wang Changtian has been very anxious lately!
Originally, I negotiated with Hua Yi, and confirmed that I was preparing to shoot the trilogy of films of "Longling Grotto", "Yunnan Worm Valley" and "Kunlun Divine Palace" of the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series, which was directed by Fei Xing, director of "All People Witnessed", and was released globally in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively...
As a result, the talks fell apart...
Hua Yi decided to play with Fuji Xun and Ahri, and got rid of the glamour...
The ticket king who has been in a row for three years is gone...
The "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is really built according to the definition of the ticket king...
What's worse, "Animal World" is about to be released, and the production budget of this film is close to 300 million...
Lao Wang looked at the cost and estimated it, it was difficult to recover the cost...
has been engaged in color bar house for three years, "Big Fish and Begonia", "Big Protector", "Big World", except for "Big Fish and Begonia" with a good box office, the other two word-of-mouth and box office are not very ideal, especially "Big World", 2.62 million...
Then, the box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" sprung up, and Wang Changtian felt that this movie should have a box office performance of about 500 million...
As a result, it has worked all the way to 1.46 billion, and the extension key has been issued, and 1.5 billion is not a problem!
asked the reason, and the employees under him all said that this was Shen Ming's first romance film, of course, they had to support it...
This Shen Ming is so amazing?
checked it out, and then found that as long as it is a project he participates in, the minimum box office is 500 million!
That's it!
……
Shen Ming walked into the lobby, and immediately a group of people surrounded him, congratulating him with all kinds of congratulations.
"Living Together in Time and Space", with a production cost of 30 million and a box office of 1.46 billion, has created a miracle!
The founder of this miracle was not Shen Ming, but he definitely played a role.
Also, the film "Living Together in Time and Space" was introduced by Netflix, $3 million, and won the North American copyright, why?
In North America, there is a group of Shen Ming's fans...
If you change someone, who will take care of you?
"Congratulations, Shen Ming, another box office has exceeded one billion!"
It was Huang Zhonglei who walked over, and he seemed unusually enthusiastic and sincere.
"Thank you," Shen Ming said with a little modesty, "It's just luck." ”
"Luck? A success can be luck. But you haven't failed since your debut!"
Huang Zhonglei smiled, and then asked tentatively, "Is it possible to cooperate?" with Huayi?"
“… I don't have a schedule yet!"
"That's... I won't bother you!"
Huang Zhonglei left disappointed...
If you want to talk about Huayi brothers, the most regrettable thing should be to push Xu Zheng to Guangxian Media...
No, it should be two things, I missed "Thai Embarrassment", and by the way, I offended the star master, and directly pushed the "Mermaid" project to the bright!
"Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Yangtze River No. 7 Love Earth", "Journey to the West", Xing Ye's movies are basically Huayi is responsible for mainland marketing and distribution, and then "Journey to the West" exploded at the box office, and the two sides went to court because of profit differences, Huang Zhonglei had a famous saying at the time: 'The result shows that the court knows more about movies than Zhou Xingchi!'
Awesome!
Then "Journey to the West" became Huayi's highest-grossing movie in the next three years...
This story teaches us that when we are proud, we must never get carried away, you don't know which sentence you have said will become material for a writer!
After finally entertaining a bunch of people, Shen Ming walked up to Su Lun and Tong Yali and greeted him very warmly: "Hi!"
The maid glanced at him, but Su Lun noticed the difference, staring at his faintly open shirt: "... Are you working out?"
"yes, don't you think it's handsome?"
“… Why are you working out?
"I'm not a single dog, how can I have nowhere to vent my energy? Answering Su Lun, Shen Ming raised his eyebrows: "How is it?" I said that we must have a celebration banquet!"
“… You're amazing!"
Suren gave a thumbs up!
The maid took two drinks, handed one to Shen Ming, and said very casually: "By the way, Shen Ming, you can come over and help me play a show after a while." ”
“… Are you the star actor?"
"Yes, and Yue Yunpeng!"
"Don't go!"
“… Why?"
"Don't like him!"
Ya Yi glanced at Su Lun, who smiled bitterly...
"If you don't go, you won't go, who doesn't want you to go!"
“… You change someone, as long as it's not a cross talk or a sketch, I can do it!"
"You look down on them?"
"That's not it, I just think they look too hateful to make money!"
In the past few years, in addition to the traffic, the most hateful are comedians, comedians, and ugly stars, who have partnered to create one after another so-called "cross talk variety shows" and other "movies".
Yue Yunpeng, all the characters are an action expression, all kinds of stupid and ugly cute...
was actually ignored by the audience, and he had to defend 'the drama is not rotten'...
If you look ugly, you can be forgiven for making money?
“… I heard that your salary this time is for the later profit sharing, how much?"
"Such a private question, how embarrassed am I to answer..."
"Close to eighty million!"
“… Not so much, 79 million!"
Shen Ming subconsciously corrected his mistakes, and then saw a middle-aged man with glasses floating over with a braised egg...
"Let me introduce, the glamorous chairman, Wang Changtian," Xu Zheng smiled and pulled Shen Ming: "This is Shen Ming!"
