Chapter Twenty-Nine: Walking the Talk

"The last sentence?" Han Sanping obviously didn't remember what was at the end of the day, he just remembered that the dam made of the human body was too shocking.

"In this film, all box office proceeds will be donated to the people in the disaster area, as well as the afforestation project in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Wu Xiang said the answer.

"Oh?" Han Sanping's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, "Are you going to fulfill this word?"

Wu Xiang put his whole body in the chair and said with a smile: "Of course, it is donated to the disaster area, of course, it is to plant trees so that the Yangtze River will no longer be as terrifying as this year." ”

"......" Han Sanping didn't say anything, but his eyes were very complicated.

What era is this, although it has been nearly 20 years since the reform and opening up, not to mention millions, even hundreds of thousands are a huge amount of money. Not to mention others, it is Han Sanping himself, last year's "Party A and Party B" was filmed by him who fooled Mu Qizhong's 1 million, plus 300,000 yuan from the Wang brothers. He Han Sanping is the head of a factory, the largest film factory in the country, and it is so difficult to have one million.

Although this film may not necessarily make a lot of money, if there are really millions of box office shares in front of him, he thinks that he will hesitate and think about whether he really wants to fulfill his promise to donate all the profits, and millions are really something that can solve many problems.

Han Sanping thought of this, and he wanted to confirm again, "No matter how much money you have, you will donate?"

"Hehehe......" Wu Xiang smiled, he didn't answer Han Sanping's question directly, but said, "Teacher Han, can I tell you what I thought before?"

Han Sanping was a little strange when he heard it, but he had no choice but to say, "Yes." ”

Wu Xiang took a breath and began to say slowly: "At the beginning, when preparing this film, I was indeed infected by this incident of the national flood fight at that time, which is the truth. But I soon realized that if I made such a film at this time, then the film would definitely attract attention because of this big event, that is, it would naturally attract huge attention in terms of publicity, and all this was almost cost-free. So, I'm absolutely sure that as long as this film is not badly made, it will definitely be a huge box office success!"

Hearing Wu Xiang say this, Han Sanping also kept nodding, he was already completely sure that the young man in front of him had an advanced grasp of the film market, but he seemed to feel something wrong in his heart.

"Success is almost predictable, but ......" Wu Xiang paused at this time, and then changed his words, "What kind of success is this success? Although we are promoting a positive, positive, and tall image of the flood-fighting army and civilians, at a time when the country is in such a crisis, I have succeeded because of such an incident, and I have made a lot of money from my banknotes.

Wu Xiang's words were like a sledgehammer hitting Han Sanping's heart, what he felt just now was wrong, it was this 'national disaster', but Wu Xiang's words just now, the power of bewitchment was too strong.

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but I can imagine that someone will make such a noise, although I am just as sure that it will definitely not become a mainstream voice. I even said that I only need to donate a part of the box office proceeds to make these voices disappear completely, but this is still difficult to make a fortune!" Wu Xiang stopped again when he said this.

Although Wu Xiang's words stopped, Han Sanping's mind did not stop, what he thought of was that he had fooled Mu Qizhong before, because Mu Qizhong was too bold and had an accident with Teng Satellite, so Han Sanping did not share other people's money. Is this not righteous, but Han Sanping immediately figured it out, even if you want to be righteous, then you have to wait for your surname Mu to come out.

Wu Xiang didn't know what Han Sanping thought, he just saw Han Sanping's face change several times, as if his words had some effect, so he continued: "That's right, it's hard to make a fortune! Although I don't care what the media says, I don't care what others think, but I can't pass this level myself!"

Han Sanping was finally attracted by Wu Xiang's words this time, "What are you doing?"

"At first, I really thought about being a bastard and making a symbolic donation, but when I photographed the heroic deeds of real people and real stories, when I saw the people in the disaster area with tears in their eyes, when I saw our soldiers jumping into the icy river one by one. I really can't do that, if I make a fortune with this show, even if no one says about me, I will never be able to sleep in the future, I'm a fucking bastard! So, I donate, no matter how much money I donate, as long as I'm still a person, I have to do it!"

Wu Xiang's words, although the voice was not loud, had a decisive momentum, making it impossible to doubt his motives. To tell the truth, he first said to his 307 friends to donate all, and now what he said is actually the true thought in his heart, a person, a person who has been poor for two lifetimes, if he is really faced with so much money and let him donate it all immediately, can he not add it up?

There were struggles, but he still had to fulfill his promise!

Hearing these words in Han Sanping's ears, he was really shocked, Wu Xiang's words were very real, and there was no falsification at all.

"Good, I see. Han Sanping seemed to be persuaded by Wu Xiang, but he immediately changed his words, "But, if this film really comes to fruition, you donate a lot of money, but even if you can't make a profit, your reputation is ......."

People are telling the truth, there is no benefit but fame, Wu Xiang smiled: "That's right, I don't deny that I will become famous because of this, if someone says that I will sell my reputation and reputation, I will follow, this is no way, I can only do this." And let's put it this way, I don't even want money, and I don't even get a reputation, so I'm not busy in vain? Aren't my friends working in vain?"

Han Sanping sighed in his heart about Wu Xiang's truthfulness, and he then asked: "I didn't mean that, I mean, you can get a name, but what can we get from Beiying Studio?"

It makes sense for people to ask, this film is mainly in cooperation with Bayi Factory, if Beijing Film Studio is only doing distribution work, then he can't get money, so what are people busy with?

But Wu Xiang still didn't answer positively, only heard him smile and said: "As for the Beijing Film Studio, Mr. Han, if I'm not wrong, you have to do an integration now, and at the same time as the restructuring, you will form a very large enterprise group, which will integrate the National Film Company, the Beijing Film Studio where you are located, as well as the movie channel, and ......."

"You, how can you ......" Han Sanping's heart was shocked at this time, this integration of Zhongying is very secret, at least it is difficult for people who are not involved to know Lu Dao, but how does this kid in front of him know Lu Dao?

Of course, Han Sanping will never know that Wu Xiang is a reborn guy, and for such a major event as the establishment of China Film Group in the film and television industry, how could Wu Xiang, who is mixed in this circle, not know Lu Dao?

"From this point of view, this kid must have a very good background, otherwise how would he know about this matter?" Han Sanping has now summed it up in his mind, "Which old-timer is surnamed Wu, and which high-level person is surnamed Wu, it doesn't seem to be much......"

Wu Xiang naturally didn't know what Han Sanping thought, he didn't speak when he saw Han Sanping, but he couldn't stop talking, so he continued, "After this integration, what kind of enterprise will be generated, I don't need to say, you should know better than me, but who will be her helmsman? Mr. Han, your "Party A and Party B" last year was quite successful, and this year, I saw that Director Feng's work was a big hit, and my one, although it is just a icing on the cake for you, but what this film promotes and shows ......"

"I understand!" Before Wu Xiang could finish speaking, Han Sanping interrupted him.

Because there is no need to say any more, everyone is a smart person, and there is no need to say it so bluntly. China Film is not a private company, making money is one thing, but other things are also very important, to put it bluntly, this "Great Flood" can add points to Han Sanping.

The Tao here is unspeakable, and Han Sanping even thought that if this Wu Xiang really had something to do with the above, it would also be a big help.

"Just follow your plan, whether this film can be a big hit at the box office, we will donate the box office profits!"

"Ha Luha, that's great!" Wu Xiang was naturally happy.

This is done, and both sides are talking about it in detail......

Wu Xiang returned to the school in the dust, and then returned to dormitory 307 as fast as he could, because he knew that there was a group of classmates waiting for him there, waiting for his good news.

Slammed the door open, and then slammed it again, Wu Xiang slapped a contract on the table, this guy was going to pretend to be cool on his face, but he couldn't hold back his smile.

"It's done?" The 8 gentlemen in the 307 dormitory all opened their mouths wide, at least they could stuff a lot of eggs.

"It's done. "Wu Xiang, this guy is still tense, working hard, but it's a pity.

"You, how did you talk about it?" Brother Kun said he couldn't understand, not only him, but almost all of them couldn't believe it, how could people agree to such a crazy sharing plan?

"Who am I?Is there anything I can't do when I get out of the horse?" Wu Xiang, this guy is definitely a stinky fart at this time, this drag!

"Hey, this kid is still playing with us! How can you fix him?" Huang Yibo immediately shouted.

"Come!"

"Don't, don't, don't, can we not be so barbaric?......" Wu Xiang immediately wanted to run, but this is a dormitory after all, he can't hide, this guy was caught by them, and then these guys used a trick, 8 strong men directly stacked Arhat, and he was at the bottom......

The schedule of "The Great Flood" has come out, and it has been scheduled to be released on January 21, 99, which can be regarded as catching up with the tail of the Chinese New Year file, this is a super efficient film schedule, Han Sanping has already used all his strength to do this, the reason is very simple, that is, the film itself is time-sensitive, it can only be early, not late.

At the end of the 20th century, the domestic film market was a market in a period of transition, which used to be brilliant, but now the situation is very bad.

However, we can already see an improvement, because there was a movie in 98, "Titanic" was this blockbuster, which gave many theaters on the verge of bankruptcy a chance to breathe. This is a box office miracle movie, which has had a great repercussion in the United States, making FOX regret slapping his thighs, why did he sell part of the distribution rights in the first place, and in China she is also a blockbuster to save the market.

"Titanic" is the first Hollywood blockbuster in China, and her profit effect is very terrifying, and 80 yuan a ticket, not bargaining, so domestic theaters gave her a super long release period, 18 months.

But this is a foreign movie, and what really makes people see hope in domestic movies is "Party A and Party B", which is the first commercial Chinese New Year blockbuster in China, but her box office is only tens of millions, and the weak position of domestic films is obvious.

"The Great Flood" will face "Titanic", but they are not a heavyweight at all, and Wu Xiang's ** work can stand out in domestic movies.

"See You or Leave", a Chinese New Year masterpiece directed by Feng Xiaogang, has been released on December 17, 98. To tell the truth, this has both advantages and disadvantages for "The Great Flood", a month has passed in time, that is to say, the strongest period of "See You or Leave" has passed, but people have created a joyful atmosphere, so Wu Xiang's tear-jerking theme movie is not a bit out of line with the atmosphere of the New Year.

It's not just Director Feng, there are three more films participating in the competition this year, Chen Peisi stopped acting in sketches, he took out a movie, "Three and a Half Heroes", Zhao Bensan and Uncle Zhao didn't sing and turned around, he and his old partner Song Dan filmed "Director of Men and Women" alone, Feng Gong didn't talk about cross talk, he brought "Nothing to Do and Steal Fun".

In other words, everyone is not doing their jobs properly, they all watch movies for fun, and they all want to make peace.

This is only on the mainland, this year, Big Brother Long successfully entered Hollywood, and there was a film released before, "Rush Hour", however, because the ECPA has not been signed at this time, therefore, Big Brother Dragon and Xing Ye's Hong Kong movies cannot be released in the mainland, and now at this time, Hong Kong movies are still foreign films, and they need to be introduced, and there are quota restrictions.

However, you can watch it in the video hall, this is also a channel to thin the interests of the cinema, the poor management of the theater is related to the popularity of the video hall, of course, there are many theaters that are very undisciplined to open their own video hall.

There are so many opponents, it can be said that each one has a great background, and each one is a heavyweight.

Moreover, Wu Xiang also knew in his heart that "The Great Flood", as a main theme movie, has a very fatal shortcoming, that is, she does not have the advantage of group chartering.

Although Wu Xiang persuaded Han Sanping of Beijing Film Studio, and Huang Tuanzuo of Bayi Factory is in charge, his fame and his relationship have not yet reached that level, and no one will organize any charter based on his fame, and this charter is actually the main box office income of the main theme movie, which has always been the case.

In other words, Wu Xiang's theme movie is completely a commercial model, from filming to release, it has completely departed from the category of theme movies.

Then let the market put it to the test!
