Chapter 1: Why Can't the Pattern Be Liberalized (3/4)
"Southern Weekly" has made an appointment with Zhang Junsheng for several years of interviews, but it has not been passed, and recently "Crazy Stone" has been released, and a week later, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" will be released.
At this time, Yuehua is becoming more and more low-key...
"Southern Weekly" likes to work against the political axe, although the high-level changes are not as sharp as before, but the entertainment sector is still 'citizens of Athens'...
"Southern Weekly" tried to make another appointment, but Zhang Junsheng actually agreed, and immediately selected its ace entertainment reporter Fang Yiming.
In the morning, Dongcheng District, Nanluoguo Lane, Beijing Tea Shop.
In the capital in July, it is hot everywhere.
Fortunately, Fang Yiming has long been used to it, and after five years of career as an entertainment reporter, he looks well-dressed, but no one knows about it...
Compared with the daytime, Fang Yiming still prefers to interview and write at night, because there is no constraint on the deadline, and second, it is easier to concentrate when writing late at night.
But under this vicious circle, Fang Yiming is 32 years old, and he still hasn't been able to get married, which can be called a big leftover!
"320 million... The overseas copyright is 28 million US dollars, and the production cost is 12 million..."
""Red Cliff" 220 million, the final box office... 230 million..."
"The domestic income of "Crazy Stone" is 80 million, plus TV copyrights and video copyrights, and the income exceeds 100 million..."
"That's amazing!"
She was looking through Zhang Junsheng's information.
As a responsible journalist, you must be honest with the interviewees, otherwise, how can you continue to talk?
She has a complete domestic film investment income ratio, so far, no director can do Zhang Junsheng, just the domestic box office can achieve profitability!
Ma Xiaokang is not good, the production cost of "Night Banquet" of 15 million US dollars, just relying on the domestic box office, must not be lost?
Fang Yiming, who was looking through the information, didn't pay attention to it, Zhang Junsheng had already come, waved his hand at the photographer, and automatically reminded: "Hello, Reporter Fang." ”
Fang Yiming looked up and just saw Zhang Junsheng's smiling face.
Beautiful black eyes, a warm glow under rimless glasses, and handsome and masculine facial features, like a perfect statue carefully carved by an artist...
Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world...
Really, the existence of the appearance against the sky!
couldn't help blushing: "Zhang... Director Zhang..."
……
He sat casually cross-legged in a chair with a camera next to him.
Usually there will be a dedicated photographer for formal interviews...
Zhang Junsheng, white shirt with jeans, both casual and formal...
Fang Yiming opened the recorder and put it on the table, took out the pen and notebook, stabilized his mind, and secretly reminded himself more than a dozen times, 'I am a professional journalist, I am a professional prostitute', then raised his head and asked with a smile: "If there is anything you don't want to answer, you can tell me first." ”
"You can talk, I have nothing to keep secret!"
have decided to be interviewed, "Crazy Stone" has been released, what else can't we talk about?
"The big controversy half a month ago, looking back, can you talk about your feelings. ”
“… You mean being targeted by China Shadow?"
"Yes!"
"I didn't feel anything special, I was a little disappointed. ”
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng explained: "I originally thought that after the commercialization reform of domestic films, everything would be fair competition, but now it seems to be tantamount to a fool's dream!"
"How?"
"Hollywood executives must go to Xiaoxitian when they come to the capital, what are they doing there? Of course, they are visiting the master!"
Fang Yiming nodded, signaling that he knew, and then asked, "Then do you think Yuehua Media has any advantages compared with China Film?"
"Content Creation!"
took a sip of the teacup: "Actually, the core resources of China Film are not in film and television production, but in industry contacts and resources. Not to mention anything else, such a thing as a film import quota has been monopolized by China Film, and it has to be decided by TO, do you think the private sector can cross this obstacle?"
"At the time of the reform of state-owned enterprises, we also saw that the decline of state-owned enterprises was fully revealed, and the result is that today?
"What we can do now is work a little bit more on the quality of the film, that is, the content, avoid the minefield and build an open filmmaking platform, and that's a different story. Using one's own strengths and avoiding one's own shortcomings, this is the best strategy, it is difficult, but I believe that the future is bright!"
Fang Yiming disagreed: "The distribution principle of China's imported films is that one import, two distributions, China Film and Huaxia have the right to distribute imported films, and China Film Import and Export Corporation has the right to import, so China Film is not an exclusive monopoly." ”
“… We bought 10 batches of films last year, and only three of them passed the censorship, and this year it's even worse, so far, all eight films are stuck..."
Zhang Junsheng seemed to have said a completely irrelevant topic, and Fang Yiming's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
"I didn't say anything..."
In fact, not all of them have been stuck, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has been confirmed for September, but unfortunately it came across "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight"...
No way, this schedule is arranged by the Film Bureau.
China Film is a directly affiliated enterprise of the Film Bureau...
People want to play with you, there is a way!
"I sometimes wonder why the pattern can't be enlarged a little bit and leave everything to the market!"
"Audiences will tell us what kind of movies they like!"
"Cinemas sell movie tickets, just like airlines sell tickets, and there are not many people flying on this route, so naturally there will be fewer people. All film schedules are based on the box office, especially during prime time. Before the release of the film, based on the production and lineup, "Red Cliff" invested 120 million US dollars, including Wu Zhongming, Liang Chaowei, and Jin Chengwu, and naturally had a large number of films. There's nothing to say, this is the law of the market, but four days after its release, the word-of-mouth is very poor, and the single-day box office is obviously not as good as "Crazy Stone", I don't understand why the film schedule of "Crazy Stone" was cut!"
……
"Will you be disappointed that "Crazy Stone" failed to break the record of "Titanic" at the box office?"
“… There's nothing to disappoint about, and the box office record for "Titanic" has also dominated North America for 11 years. ”
It's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy army is too cunning!
"Do you have any new plans after Stone?"
“… I'm preparing a spy war film, and filming may start at the end of the year!"
"Can you talk about Wang Bo? I like him very much!"
"Of course, he's... A powerful actor, the kind that has the opportunity to be promoted to the super-first..."
After the two movies "Tengu" and "Crazy Stone", Wang Bo's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when "Crazy Racing" is released, he will become one of the actors with box office appeal...
"Is the company ready to change contracts?"
“… No, we'll help him set up his own studio, so let's go out on his own!"
Independent?
Fang Yiming realized that this was another big news!
"Why go out on your own?"
"The artists themselves already have the conditions for independent development, Yuehua has always been mainly based on content creation, and the brokerage business is not proficient, helping them to set up a personal studio is also a win-win choice, every artist can become a partner in the project with us! Not only Wang Bo, as long as the artists under it, his personal value is reached, he can set up a separate personal studio. We sent a team dedicated to his personal business. Moreover, we have too many newcomers, so we must give them a chance!"
Fang Yiming stared at the male director in front of him and admired it.
She admires the other party's "light and light" state the most, and Zhang Junsheng's words burst out with the experience of a mature man.
"That..."
"It's okay, you just ask!"
"Can you talk about the girl who was with you at the premiere of "Red Cliff" that day?"
“… You mean Liu Sisi?"
