Chapter 518 - Afraid of Failure, Don't You Dare to Challenge?

"What's the matter, what questions do you have?" Looking at the stunned Xiao, Lin Qi was a little funny, this kid is still working hard, but he hasn't seen any wind and waves.

In the final analysis, Hong Kong is capital, let alone now, even after the return to the motherland, it will remain unchanged for 50 years, which means that capital will sit firmly in the Diaoyutai no matter what.

The film and television industry protests and only dares to protest with the government and gangs, and if you really want to protest with capital, it won't be long before there will be compromise and betrayal. After all, the Hong Kong left has been suppressed as early as the 60s, and now there is no real left, there are only some small and fresh petty bourgeoisie, which shout and talk on the surface, but in fact, they do not have the courage to break the kettle and sink the boat, and if they are slightly divided, they will collapse by themselves.

"Mr. Lin, I don't understand, Hong Kong movies are indeed based on small costs, 10 bad movies, there is 1 movie that can be watched, we only need to choose the movies that can be watched, why force the market to improve the quality? ”

With a sincere face, he couldn't understand the mystery in it, Huang Xizhao came to the door a few times, and the gang in the office were also ready to move, but they were all sent away by Lin Qi.

It can only be said that Mr. Lin is very proud and too lazy to explain too much to others. Now, in order to promote the new strategy and pattern of the film industry, he has explained too much.

"Less, where do you think the direction of film development will be in the future?" Lin Qiqu tapped on the table and asked.

"Of course, it is technology that promotes the change of creative concepts, the resolution, lumens, color saturation of film projection, and the improvement of special effects, as well as the professional level of directors, actors, and crew. In the final analysis, he is just a graduate who has worked for less than a year, and he is not a veteran of the film and television industry, and his major has nothing to do with film and television, but business administration, "As far as the cinema line is concerned, it is the stability of attendance." Our group structure exceeds the cinema chain, and it should be our own cinema chain that surpasses the experience of other peers, attracting the maximum benefits by adopting our technology. ”

Lin Qi nodded and added: "You just said part of it, in fact, the more important thing is the film work." The new technology of the shooting and projection system is essentially to make a better movie. But if the atmosphere in the film circle is not right, and it is purely a follow-up project to cheat money and make a living, then no matter how much money is invested, you can only get a bad movie with a bad reputation and a bad box office. It does not help to improve the overall quality, and such a big slash is essentially to exclude those works and people who can't do it, and give more resources to people and works who can make sincere works. At the same time, in the past, there was no one in the Hong Kong film industry who could integrate the forces in the circle, and in doing so, we were actually identifying who was the enemy and who was the friend! If we move in our direction, we will naturally be friends. If you don't follow us, then you will sink in the quagmire of bad movies! What I want to do is that the projects and works that have been screened by us can have a Hollywood-level reputation. A film produced by New Venture Film and Television Group, not a Hong Kong movie!"

Xiao Xiao finally heard a little taste, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lin, you mean that the purpose of this is to create a brand that can compete with Hollywood?"

"Yes, Hollywood's domestic box office has exceeded $8 billion a year, while the global box office is about $25 billion, and it continues to grow. However, 70% of the world's film box office revenue has been swept away by Hollywood!" Lin Qi said, "and Hong Kong films in the 60s~80s, although they experienced a rapid growth, but to sum up, now in addition to our new entrepreneurship department, other film and television peers, the overseas box office has been saturated, and the global market size of Chinese films, in addition to our new entrepreneurship department, is less than 400 million US dollars! Our new entrepreneurship department has swept more than 500 million US dollars in a "Court of Avalon". Although the current "FATE" may be lower than expected, 300 million dollars should be fine! Let's say we can release a flagship title of $500 million a year, five titles of $100 million. If we don't do this, then in the future, Hollywood will further sweep the world, and local audiences in Hong Kong will also watch Hollywood movies, and mainland audiences will definitely be dominated by Hollywood blockbusters in the future, and the living space of Chinese-language films will be compressed to a very small space. Therefore, it is necessary to make high-quality products, there are 10~20 movies every year, and the global market competes with Hollywood. There are Chinese films released globally every month, and this is the only way to do it! And garbage films, it is not worth doing, only the high-quality products we approve have the value of global distribution and promotion!"

"How can it be possible to maintain a stable distribution channel? In addition to good works, it is not enough, for example, cinemas around the world have purchased our digital high-definition projection equipment, so in the future, when we talk about work distribution cooperation, there will be more stable partners, and the right to speak is also in our hands, not begging others to distribute!"

Xiao understands that Mr. Lin's ambition is beyond the imagination of the industry. Others only look at the current attendance rate and box office gains and losses, but Lin Qi is thinking about the pattern of the global film market.

What he didn't understand was that this approach ...... It's really stupid, such an act is tantamount to wrestling with a bull, and in the end you can only taste the horns.

The new venture is a team, and Lin Qi has brought something huge beyond everyone's imagination, but this time, Xiao feels a little blind, and Mr. Lin's blueprint is too huge all of a sudden.

"How is the filming data of the Hollywood movie "Terminator 2" that you investigated last time?" Lin Qi suddenly asked.

"Wait a minute!" went out like a whirlwind, and a moment later he was back in the office, another document on the table.

The information about "Terminator 2" on the data includes the cost of filming in detail. The film is now in the preparatory stage, and the actual release was in 1992.

The film pushed the lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to the top, and since then Hollywood has entered the "Schwarzenegger era".

At the same time, it has consolidated James Cameron's position in Hollywood, and his later directorial works include "True Lies", "Titanic" and "Avatar".

Needless to say, the latter two are the most successful examples of commercial films, breaking the global box office record. Due to the success at the box office, many film awards also had to bow their heads and award awards to Cameron's god film. And not those, box-office in-depth movies.

"Mr. Lin, I don't really understand, this is a top Hollywood movie, we don't need to use it as an opponent!"

stopped halfway through the words, this is a Hollywood director, not Tsui Hark, not Run Run Shaw, not Stephen Chow.

In the absence of such works in China, there is not much point in paying too much attention.

"Don't you dare to challenge if you're afraid of failure?" Lin Qi asked rhetorically, the main reason why he paid so much attention to this movie was because this movie was Cameron's work.

In a sense, Cameron is the technology leader of the future world film industry, and he is good at adopting various new technologies to add a better experience to movies. And because of Cameron's success, there are countless directors who follow him to imitate. It can be said that as long as Cameron has used the equipment and equipment, after he finishes filming, the crew of rental equipment will be full in the next five years!

Lin Qi roughly flipped through it, and the information was not much different from what he remembered.

The first part of the Terminator invested $6.4 million, and the second part is the first film in the history of the film to invest more than $100 million, and the cost of such an investment is unimaginable in the domestic market.

In other words, other profit-oriented investors would categorically not agree to the first film that cost only $6.4 million, and the budget of the second film skyrocketed more than tenfold to the $100 million mark, making it the most expensive film.

However, Cameron gambled on his credibility and future development to create such an expensive blockbuster. The rate of return may not be as high as $20 million or $30 million to complete this sequel. However, from a strategic point of view, such a huge budget not only produced better results, but also burned money to experiment with more new technologies and methods.

It is precisely because of this that Cameron has been the king of commercial blockbusters for decades to come! The output of his films is not high, but the cumulative box office can beat all the directors in the industry.
