Chapter 565: Jiang Xia's Goal

If the competitive pressure of TV dramas in the New Year's drama is regarded as 100, then the competitive pressure of the Chinese New Year stalls in the film market is 10,000. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.

The competitive pressure between the two is not at all the same level and magnitude.

Jiang Xia himself has not experienced the Lunar New Year file war, not even the second-level summer file, he only used "Star Wish" to fight the National Day file once, and also avoided the head-to-head confrontation, this is still his work, the first time to just face it.

Ni Jun and they are all worried about Jiang Xia's works, the second time is positive, can they win?

They know Jiang Xia very well, and they know that Jiang Xia has absolutely no problem making emotional movies, they can write so many love songs, and they can also make movies like "Star Wish", they are relieved.

Even if Jiang Xia goes to make a comedy, they can rest assured that there is a TV series like "Underground Traffic Station" to lay the foundation there.

Just, gambling films?

Jiang Xia's own theme can be filmed, and how well the audience will accept it, they don't know what to do. encountered a special effects blockbuster like "The Demon of Troubled Times" again, and the prospect is really worrying.

"What are you worried about, fight bayonets hard, it's clear who wins and who loses. If you lose, your skills are not as good as others, and if you win, everyone is happy and better. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Didn't you sign a contract for five billion yuan for ten movies in five years? In this way, each movie will get an average box office of 500 million, but 500 million yuan is not 500 yuan. Ni Jun said.

"Actually, don't worry, I think. Wang Ke said, "Jiang Xia must have his own ideas, besides, the movies have been filmed and will be released soon, so it's useless to worry, right?"

"Brother Wang usually doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he is insightful. Jiang Xia gave a thumbs up and said, "Look at how thoroughly Brother Wang has seen, don't worry, you can get any results, even if the results are average this time, there are still nine chances, right?"

"Brother Jun is worried that you will not have a good time in Hengying, I don't understand this, how did you get married? Sister Fang Fei, just this person, it's very tiring to teach him, right?" Feng Lin glanced at Jiang Xia and said.

You Fangfei smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Jiang Xia said to Ni Jun: "Brother Jun, don't worry, it's no problem in Hengying." ”

"That's good. Alas, when you go to Xiangjiang, we're bored here, when are you going to make a movie? We're going to help you. You don't need us to be a director. Ni Jun had a complaining tone.

Jiang Xia hurriedly said: "The next movie, I will definitely be able to use you, I have already put the script up, it should be able to pass the project, Hengying said that he will invest all the income of the entire God of Gamblers." ”

"How much does the God of Gamblers plan earn?" Feng Lin asked.

Jiang Xia said: "Who can say for sure." ”

"With your temperament, it is impossible to make a movie without a tenfold return at the box office. How much does the God of Gambling cost?" asked Lang Qing.

"Counting the cost of publicity, less than 60 million should be this number. Jiangxia said.

"That's 600 million?" Wang Ke said.

Feng Lin said: "It's almost the same, Xingyuan can get more than 500 million, the God of Gamblers is a commercial film, right? This kind of commercial film, you should get 600 million, but it depends on the ability of the giant." If it crushes too much, it's really hard to say. ”

"Next year, the year after that, at the latest, I'll have a Big Mac coming out. Jiangxia said.

"What do you mean?" Feng Lin wondered, and suddenly said, "By the way, if it is a box office of 600 million, the profit return should be more than 100 million......

After she finished saying this, everyone looked at Jiang Xia, and Wang Ke was surprised: "You want to spend 100 million to make a movie? ”

Jiang Xia nodded and smiled: "Of course it's a blockbuster, originally in our company, it's also the third blockbuster." If you don't make blockbusters, you can't see the skills of a director, and you can't establish the company's status. Wait, after the contract expires, our company will also make a blockbuster, which is definitely bigger than the current blockbuster. That movie, I plan to hit the Hollywood market. ”

Hollywood!

The current Chinese film market is prosperous and prosperous, but more of it is at home, and it is really put into the global market, and the competitiveness is not strong, and the real giant is still Hollywood movies. Hollywood movies have conquered cities all over the world, except for Ah San's Bollywood, which is the last to hold the ground, and everything else has been conquered.

Bollywood movies can only be self-congratulatory in China, and the kind of Ah San movies that dance without saying a word have extremely limited influence in the world.

China's film market is the second largest box office in the world, but most of them are Hollywood movies to make money, and it is difficult to export them to other places to make other people's money.

Chinese filmmakers really want to rush out of the film, get on the 6 North American stage, and compete with Hollywood movies on Hollywood turf, but only a few people have done it, and even if they do, the results are very average.

Before the Jiangxia Crossing in the last life, the highest box office in North America was Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was released in 2,027 theaters and grossed a total of $128 million. followed by Zhang Yimou's "Hero", with 2,175 theaters and a box office of 53 million. The third place is Jackie Chan's "Red Fan Zone", with 1,794 theaters and a box office of 32 million. The fourth place is Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia", 1,810 plus theaters, 24 million box office. The fifth place is Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", with 2,500 theaters and a box office of 17 million.

It can be seen from these box offices that Chinese films are not favored in North America, and the only "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that broke 100 million was because Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director with this movie, and this bonus was added. It was also the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that made China swarm of imitations at that time, and the continuous output of costume martial arts movies, "Hero" was the earliest and the highest box office. But then it didn't work, and it only lasted a few years before it came to an end. Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy movie, when shooting a pure Hong Kong-style movie, was still popular for a while, and the box office was much worse later.

The situation Jiang Xia faced in this life is similar to that of the previous life, Hollywood is still hegemonic, and the impact of Chinese movies on it is even worse than that of the previous life, and there is not even a person who has won an Oscar.

More than ten years ago, filmmakers still wanted to rush out to have a look, but now filmmakers, everything is about money, and they only guard one acre and three points of land in China, which really makes Jiang Xia feel unproductive.

"Hit the North American market? Go to Hollywood? Won't it? Jiang Xia, do you know how difficult it is?" asked Feng Lin.

You Fangfei said: "The fame of Chinese films in the world is made by some literary films, and they have won some awards at European film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice. However, literary films did not have a box office, and the attention of ordinary foreign audiences was not high, which was also the reason why Shanshan hit the European and American markets at that time and failed to succeed. The influence of commercial films is higher than that of literary films, and the box office is also high, but it is also difficult for foreigners to accept. ”

"I know. Jiang Xia said, "I know it in my heart." In fact, the film I am going to make next can also hit the North American box office, and it should be a test of the water. ”

"Be prepared to break your head and bleed. You Fangfei said.

Jiang Xia said: "That's for sure, this movie is a pure commercial blockbuster, and it's almost impossible to hit the Oscars, but try to win a small award." As for the real release in North America to grab the box office, it depends on Hengying's decision. I'm just a part-time worker now. ”

"By the way, Jiang Xia, you are in Hengying, how do you calculate the salary you are given?" Feng Lin asked curiously.

Ni Jun was also curious: "Yes, how do you calculate your salary? You can't work for nothing, right?"

"The basic salary is 20,000, after tax. If there are works involved, they will be divided according to different division of labor, which is pure profit sharing. For example, the God of Gamblers, if you make a profit of 100 million, my personal screenwriter and director can get a total of 3 million. The director is divided into two percent, and the screenwriter is divided into one percent. In the case of actors, it is three percent. Jiangxia said.

Feng Lin was surprised: "That's all, it's too little, isn't it? I wrote, directed, and acted by myself, and I only gave you six percent?"

Before Jiang Xia could speak, You Fangfei said, "This price is quite reasonable. ”

"Huh?" Feng Lin turned his head to look at You Fangfei.

You Fangfei explained: "Hengying is not our studio after all, and the process is different from our studio. Hengying's movie, which is wholly owned, has not been produced so far, and even the God of Gamblers is cooperating with another company. In other words, with a profit of 100 million, Hengying can only get 50 million, and what is distributed to Jiang Xia is based on the total profit. Six million for 100 million miles is not the same concept as six million for 50 million miles, is it?"

"That's right. But it's still too little, Jiangxia's current market price, shouting out to be an actor, the quota should be 6 million a movie, right? If you sell it for a few days, you have to start at 200,000 yuan, right? Feng Lin sighed.

"It's a bit of a loss. Jiang Xia himself said, "But it doesn't matter, at least our studio will take out 100 million to make a blockbuster, in case it fails, it will be distressing." Hengying's money, I don't feel distressed if I lose it. ”

"Haha, that's exactly what I said. Feng Lin was happy.

Jiang Xia said: "About the album, hurry up and plan, rest for three days, I will start filming in three days, and the place is set according to what I said, right?"

"It's set. Wang Ke said, "You said that I was a bodyguard, how did I become a civil servant now?"

"Isn't that normal? I'm also a civilian. Li Bing silently added on the side.

The crowd laughed.

The studio now has few people and less work, and the two of them have a driver and a bodyguard, so they don't need their own work at all, they go to work every day, in addition to playing games, they are occasionally busy with the work that Feng Lin gave them, such as finalizing the location of the MV this time, and letting them go.

"Aren't you going to go to the screening of your movie?" You Fangfei asked Jiang Xia on the way home at night.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "If you don't go, you have to fly back and forth, troublesome, it's rare to rest for two days." ”

"Then don't go, let's rest. You Fangfei said.

"Yes. ”
