Chapter 13: 3.5 Billion in 10 Days (10/10 Subscription)
The so-called seminar...
Actually, it's a hindsight!
Of course, if a film is discussed, it must be because it fits the official at a certain point - "The Wandering Earth" itself is a project given by China Film, and China Film is subordinate to the General Propaganda Department...
"Science fiction movies can best represent the production level of a country's film industry, avoiding the blind use of "traffic stars", but investing funds in scenes, props, special effects and other production levels, which is the successful inspiration provided by "The Wandering Earth" for the film industry. ββHuang Lin, President of the Institute of International Communication of Chinese Culture;
"The Wandering Earth" is a symbol of the transformation and upgrading of China's film industry, and it is also a milestone work in the process of Chinese films moving from a big country to a powerful country. Whether it is the way of writing or production, it has made subversive and innovative expressions, reflecting the big pattern, big thinking, big strokes, and big themes, marking that domestic films have reached a new height in creation. β
ββMr. Lu, Deputy Director of the Program Center of the Film Channel of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee...
A bunch of experts and professors praised "The Wandering Earth"...
Probably so many excerpts, lest everyone think I'm counting the words in the water...
Guo Fan: "There is no shortage of people in China who love science fiction, there is no shortage of people who study technology, and the most lacking people who appreciate them and trust them to do things. I am very grateful to China Film for giving me this opportunity, and even more grateful to Shen Ming for his trust..."
He should have felt it!
It's not easy for a rookie director to find an investor who trusts him!
A large number of intermediate traders who operate the resources of the film market, they neither understand nor talk about science fiction, only talk about interests, and only talk about the box office!
"Shen Ming, how can you be sure that "The Wandering Earth" will definitely succeed?"
ββ¦ I didn't believe it that much, anyway, the idea at that time was that this team was really making movies, in this case, I joined, I don't do it, who will do it? In fact, now that I think about it, when I read the script, the thought in my heart was probably that Director Lu said that I saw 'the unique friendship of the Chinese for the land'..."
Shen Ming took over the topic and secretly praised the big guy...
Actually, is this kind of seminar useful?
Except for giving the public a signal that the official supports "The Wandering Earth", the rest is really useless...
Otherwise, China Film would not have invested in "Liuhai Fortress", let alone let Shen Ming bring his own 300 million investment into the market - he is really optimistic about "The Wandering Earth", it must have eaten alone!
β¦β¦
Many people are worried that Chinese films will become a bubble...
Actually, you don't have to!
There are people in every industry who cheat and cheat, but there are also people who are full of sincerity and love the industry...
From "Operation Red Sea" to "I Am Not the God of Medicine" to today's "The Wandering Earth", it can be seen that the Chinese film industry is developing in a healthy direction!
Although the production model of packaging garbage into candy with publicity gimmicks will not be broken, we can always see China's excellent works stand up in the market again and again.
The audience's aesthetics are gradually improving, and the movies that disrespect the audience in the past are destined to become history!
At least, it seems to be getting more and more difficult to make movies in the future, and it seems to be getting more and more difficult to make money lying down.
"Detective Pu Songling"...
invested 350 million for 5 days, with a box office of 125 million, and was directly released for six days;
I really didn't expect this!
"Monster Hunt 2" Du can make 2.1 billion...
"The New King of Comedy"...
The entire cast is just one Wang Baobao, it seems that he has saved his salary, so he filmed for more than a month, and the post-production period was hastily released for a total of 3 months, shortening the construction period and compressing the cost, winning 600 million box office, and it was out of the stall...
But this is Xingye's movie!
If you have money to make, you are satisfied?
Cliff-like satisfaction!
But Feng Xiaogang was taken out and whipped again: where is the director who said that the Chinese audience was garbage a few years ago now?
β¦β¦
14th, Valentine's Day.
Another new film is released today, "A Kiss to Love", based on "Mischievous Kiss", it is estimated that it should not sell well, because the little wrecking ball still controls 38% of the film schedule...
Shen Ming is in the Film Bureau again, this time it is not about "The Wandering Earth", but several directors of "My Motherland and Me" were called to study the script together...
Ming Tsai really doesn't think it's necessary, the "Escort" he is responsible for is very good, if it can be expanded, it will not be a problem to make a 90-minute movie.
Of course, in 20 minutes, the story can be told.
The first fifteen minutes are used to tell the story of Lu Xiaoran becoming an ace female pilot, and the last five minutes are used to recreate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Lu Xiaoran, Shen Ming decided Song Jia, the girl had entered the army a month in advance, and she ate and lived with the female pilots - to experience life.
The conference room is full of old acquaintances!
The chief director, Brother Chen Kai, has not yet come...
Ning Hao saw Shen Ming, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Your "The Wandering Earth" has a good reputation at the box office, but it can put a lot of pressure on us!"
"Lao Ning, you are being talked about like this, and besides, "The Wandering Earth" is not my movie, I am just an actor!"
Well, in fact, Ning Hao's "Alien" has already recovered its cost and earned 300 million...
The only unfortunate thing is the baby's company...
Guaranteed issuance, there are losses and wins, it's normal!
Xu Zheng also sat down: "How about it, can there be 3.5 billion today?"
"It shouldn't be a problem!"
took out his mobile phone and looked at the real-time box office, it was already 3.3 billion, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and the golden number was far from coming.
Xu Zheng continued: "Strive to kill "Wolf Warrior 2"... No, "Wolf Warrior 2" is also played by you and Wu Jing!"
ββ¦ It's also a good thing to be able to kill "Wolf Warrior 2", a mountain is still higher than a mountain, and it continues to set new records, which shows that the Chinese film market is getting better and better!"
Guan Yu suddenly asked: "What is the box office estimate of "The Wandering Earth"?"
"5.7 billion!"
"Shen Ming, what do you think?"
ββ¦ It's a little difficult, after all, next weekend, "Alita" will be released, and it will definitely take away attention, I think 5.2 billion is about the same..."
Regardless of the quality of "Alita", the number of films will definitely squeeze "The Wandering Earth", and once the number of films is squeezed, the single-day box office of the small wrecking ball will definitely slow down...
"You're only worried about Alita?"
Shen Ming was curious: "... Any new movies?"
Xu Zheng directly announced the answer: "Your "La La Land"!"
ββ¦ That's a song and dance film, which is a niche theme in China, and it can't sell much!"
Shen Ming waved his hand and looked at Ning Hao again: "Director Ning, I haven't thanked you yet, if you hadn't sponsored our venue, we wouldn't have the time and energy to decorate and build the space capsule..."
"You're welcome, everyone is their own people. β
chatted heartily, the door opened, and Fu Youqing, Chen Kaige, and producer Huang Jianxin walked in: "Are they all here?"
"Lao Zhang hasn't arrived yet!"
ββ¦ Zhang Yibai?"
"Forget it, don't wait for him, I'll ask for a few things..."
