Chapter 52: Anger (part 2 of 5)
Zhang Junsheng's opinion can only represent himself, Brother Chen Kai has been honing for two years, how can he overturn his plan because of an irrelevant person?
After the premiere of Yanjing, the next premiere is Songjiang, Lin'an, Wu*Han, and Shudu, and the scale is huge!
It's a pity that the box office on the first day was mediocre, less than 10 million, not to mention compared with "Ip Man", even "Wuji" can't compare...
That year's "Wuji" created a box office of 11 million yuan within six hours!
The so-called literary films and commercial films actually have no clear boundaries, only the amount of investment is the hard indicator of the film.
The investment is big and boring, and it makes no sense to excuse yourself as a literary film.
A good literary film, there is no shortage of knowledgeable audiences, and the investment will definitely be recovered.
Literary films with real personality, even if they are not very enjoyable, still have the opportunity to be released in Europe and the United States. For example, the marriage of Tuya, a good man in the Three Gorges, and the works of Hou Xiaoxian, Cai Mingming, and Wong Kar-wai.
"Mei Lanfang" has a lot of investment, and there are well-known movie stars like Zhang Ziyi, but as a result, a copy can't be sold, and a small award can't be won.
In fact, looking at the road to the award of "Mei Lanfang", you know that this film must be no show!
Later, I went to participate in independent film festivals like Seattle in the United States, but I didn't even enter the top ten, and I went to Brazil, Belgium and other non-mainstream film festivals, under the guise of China's Olympic bid film to ask for awards, but still didn't win a single award.
Zhang Ziyi's salary is not very high, 15 million yuan is considered a friendship price - she is in the United States, and her salary is 5 million US dollars!
Due to the hopelessness overseas, it is said that some of the final payments have not been paid...
……
No. 6, Yuehua Screening Hall, a small screening was held within the company, and many theater managers were invited...
"It's amazing, I didn't spend a dime, I filmed a play, the key is that it's pretty good!"
After watching "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", Gao Jun of the New Film Association gave a high evaluation.
are all in the circle, of course, I know that the advertising revenue of "If You Are the Truth 2" has reached 60 million, but the shooting cost has not yet reached 40 million...
In many cases, the investment in domestic films is obviously very high, but the quality of the shooting is very poor and extremely rough. This is nothing more than two cases, one is money laundering and the other is that the budget is hacked.
Yuehua has never had this situation, except because the producers and producers are their own people, and the most important thing is that the film crews they invite are basically regular teams in the mainland!
If you invite a Hong Kong team, the budget is hacked, which is normal!
"Confucius" alone costs 13 million for the photography team!
"Martial Arts", with an investment of up to 100 million, actually has no big scenes, and there is not much place to spend money, how can the cost be so high?
The crew costs thousands of dollars for a straw hat...
Many mainland investors don't know anything about movies, and they have an inexplicable good impression of Hong Kong, and they don't consider the theme of the movie at all, and they don't consider whether the star has appeal, and often throw money into it as soon as they see that it is a Hong Kong star and the Hong Kong team. Such investors deserve to be trapped!
Of course, although the Xiangjiang team is making money, most of them are more serious in shooting, and the quality of the film is generally not particularly bad.
In contrast, some directors in the mainland not only make money, but also have no focus on the movie, and after getting the investment, the film has not started filming, so they buy themselves a car and a house first, and one bad movie after another is concocted in this way.
Zhang Junsheng shook hands with a smile: "Although we didn't spend any money, Director Ye is a sincere person, he is sincere in making movies, and he didn't take any of the director's fees!"
“… You don't know about me, he signed a share!"
"Yes, when the time comes, I will have to trouble Manager Gao to schedule more films, otherwise, Director Ye has worked hard for more than half a year, and he can't even receive the director's fee..."
"Don't worry, I'm very optimistic about this "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", the Chinese New Year file, we lack such a movie that makes people smile!"
Wu Hehu from Songjiang and Zhao Jun from Yangcheng were all invited guests...
North Gao Jun, South Zhao Jun, Songjiang Wu Hehu, three heroes of the cinema line!
Gao Jun's new film association is the largest film distribution company in Yanjing, accounting for 60% of the Yanjing cinema and market share;
Wu Hehu is the deputy general manager of Songjiang Lianhe Cinema Line, accounting for 60% of Songjiang cinemas and the market;
Zhao Jun is the number one leader of Yuedong Film Company, with jurisdiction over two cinema chains, accounting for more than 50% of the cinemas and market share in eastern Guangdong;
It can be said that these three people control more than half of the share of mainland theaters!
Of course, hold...
After sending the three away, Zhang Junsheng's face changed abruptly: ", why does "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" have a relaxation period?
"There's no way, Fila and Bulgari together sponsored 28 million, no matter how you say it, you have to reciprocate, Shu Qi is the spokesperson of these two brands..."
Zhao Yijun explained with a wry smile...
Ye Jing asked rhetorically: "... Junsheng, you seem to be very prejudiced against Hong Kong and Taiwan actors?"
"Do I have prejudice?"
Zhang Junsheng's face was puzzled...
"You have!"
casually explained: "..."A Chinese Ghost Story" I found Yuan Hao!"
"What about after that? "Crazy Stone", Mike's character is from Hong Kong, and you actually used Chen Chao!"
“… He's cheap!"
At that time, I wanted to find Yu Wenluo or Gu Tianluo to make a cameo, but unfortunately it was 2 million Hong Kong dollars...
2 million?
Why don't you say 20 million?
"What about Taiwanese actors? The above demands that we strengthen cross-strait cooperation..."
"Then you can't just give them such an important role as the second female lead!" After a pause, Zhang Junsheng added: "In the future, our movies and TV series, try our best to be mainland actors, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, if you want to participate, you can, correct the accent first!"
"You're so embarrassed!"
Accent is part of the line skills, watching American movies and television, there are a large number of actors from the United Kingdom, Australia and other places, they all have their own accents in life, but when acting, they will speak fluent American English, without any trace of accent, this is professional. An actor who is not even qualified for the most basic professional qualities, what are you looking for them?"
"Andy Lau is the same?"
"It's the same for everyone! No, Andy Lau's accent is passable!"
I couldn't hold back, and then sprayed: "Just Shu period's accent, without subtitles, I can't understand it, can you be more professional?"
Habitually, why should good resources be given to them?
Uncle Liu, who is over thirty years old and has mediocre acting skills, is only a fourth-tier unknown actor of TVB in Hong Kong, and when he arrives in the mainland, he is immediately like a fish in water, relying on the standard Mandarin of professional dubbing, he can quickly become a popular candidate for the leading actor in ancient costumes and modern idol dramas!
"Beauty Without Tears", "Midsummer Evening Sunny Day", "Twilight Snow on a Thousand Mountains", took one after another, and after getting married, there were also "Wife's Secret", "The Golden Thief", "Lonely Empty Court Spring Evening", and the partners are the most popular flowers in the mainland.
Why?
Just with a Hong Kong household registration?
The most important thing is that Da Meiyuan's female number two is gone, no wonder she hasn't contacted herself in the past few months, she originally thought she was filming "Sword Rain", and she didn't have time...
