Chapter 131: Pattern
The traditional circle division is divided according to the region, such as the Beijing circle, the Shanghai circle, the Hong Kong circle, and the like.
Unless they are the top actors, they are basically fighting separately and do not interfere with each other.
However, after only entering the market from capital, many traditional film and television production companies are also struggling, unless you have a financier behind you!
The entertainment industry generally refers to film, television, and song, including a series of activities such as production, distribution, and building a star industry, and in the process of production and distribution, capital and technology have always been the main reasons why the entertainment industry is moving closer to capital.
According to the news obtained by the company some time ago, in 2012, there were 169 mergers and acquisitions in the cultural media industry of domestic companies, including film and television, games, advertising, publishing, cable and satellite TV and other sub-industries, and there are only a few competitive film and television companies!
Huiwen, Huayi, Guangxian, Bona and Wanda, the five leading companies have begun to take shape.
Of course, the Chinese film of the national character generation is also among them...
In fact, the higher you go, the smaller the circle, and you are actually acquaintances.
The same schedule, divided, discussed slowly, and making money together is the truth!
For example, Bona, their main hit "Big Shanghai" this year avoided "1942", and would rather compete with "Blood Drops", "The Grandmaster", and "Zodiac" to compete for the box office!
The devil knows what gave them confidence, according to Yu Dong: "Why should I avoid "1942", that movie is Feng Xiaogang's dream for more than ten years, I can't hinder others..."
The capitalists actually talk about conscience...
……
"This year's Chinese New Year, you will only release one "Thai Embarrassment"?"
Wang Zhongjun was investigating the enemy's situation.
“… Well, this one is scheduled for the time being, but we will be on "Journey to the West" during the Spring Festival!"
Hearing Xu Hui take the initiative to mention "Journey to the West", Wang Zhonglei looked at his brother, and then asked: "... I heard that Huiwen fully invested in Zhou Xingxing's films, and also signed a contract for 300 million yuan for his later works, are you very optimistic about him?"
Huayi does not have the momentum of spending a lot of money and smashing people with money in later generations.
Huiwen's actions this year are quite scary.
200 million to sign Zhang Yimou, 300 million to sign Zhou Xingxing.
And he hasn't stipulated the amount of money in the contract, he just said that their movies, Huiwen has priority investment, which is tantamount to giving money to others for nothing!
"Anyway, in my opinion, there are few directors in China who are more popular with the audience than Zhou Xingxing. ”
didn't care about Feng Xiaogang sitting next to him, Xu Hui told the truth.
There are only a few domestic directors who can have the power of IP, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Zhou Xingxing, Jiang Wen and of course Xu Hui, Jiang Wen is a pit, and he has his own company.
Feng Xiaogang will have a relationship with Huayi all his life, even if the contract is full, out of affection, he will not join other companies.
If it is purely divided according to the audience, Zhou Xingxing is definitely one level higher than these people!
Especially the post-80s and 90s audiences who now occupy the main force of the box office market have all grown up watching Zhou Xingxing's movies, and the charm of the king of comedy is not covered!
“… This year's box office is expected to change!"
Feng Xiaogang suddenly spoke.
Xu Hui and a few of them made a listening statement.
Feng Xiaogang likes to talk about the film market at the wine table, talk about the box office and the like.
"Hollywood's imported blockbusters account for 57% of the total box office, and if the state does not introduce relevant policies, it is estimated that this year's task will not be completed!"
"So, you have to watch the New Year!"
Wang Zhongjun added, looked at the silent Xu Hui, and asked tentatively: "Xu Hui, I heard that your movie is finished, or two consecutive films, how about it, when are you going to release it?"
“… I'm still working on the post-production stage, and I guess it won't be released until June!"
"Oh, that's a shame!"
Wang Zhongjun sighed insincerely.
"Xu Hui, I have watched several dramas you have filmed, and I have enjoyed it, especially the "New Dragon Gate Inn", the rhythm is really fast, commercial films, especially action movies, fast rhythm is too important! When I first filmed "Night Banquet", I shouldn't have pulled the rhythm so slowly, otherwise the box office would not be so good!"
Penetrating insight!
"Night Banquet" is actually a pretty good story, after all, "Hamlet" is applied, but unfortunately, the lines are so special that people hurt, and Feng Xiaogang tried to forcibly change the drama and stage play into a movie, which is wrong in itself!
Therefore, the poverty of the content and the ornate form form a tension, so that the audience can always find countless jokes in it, so that the tragedy becomes a burlesque.
If there were no "Golden Armor" and "Wuji" in front, the box office of "Night Banquet" would not be so bad...
……
inquired about Xu Hui's lack of a movie about to be released for the Chinese New Year, and the group was a lot more relieved.
At this time, no one would have thought that Xu Guangtou's "Thai Embarrassment" would become a big killer!
After all, the production cost of "Thai Embarrassment" is less than 40 million...
As for "Life of Pi", hehe, Huayi has its own tricks!
They have already discussed with several major theaters that the release of "1942" will occupy most of the IMAX theaters!
Thanks to Huiwen, there are also theaters, otherwise, you can only stare dryly...
"Our investment in "1942" is a real 200 million, and at least 600 million box office is required to protect the capital..."
"I've calculated, it's not a big problem, today's market capacity is not a few years ago, when Xiaogang's "Endless" won the box office championship of domestic films at the box office of 33 million, I think this "1942" can create a box office miracle, 1 billion is not less, 2 billion is not too much!"
Wang Zhongjun clapped his hands and looked at Feng Xiaogang with a smile.
He has a blind trust in Feng Xiaogang!
Feng Xiaogang has been too smooth in recent years, the main theme of "Assembly", a box office hit, and "Tangshan Earthquake", a box office hit.
According to what he himself said later: "At that time, I felt that I could shoot anything, "Assembly" had a hard war theme, the first place at the box office, "Tangshan Earthquake", that was a proposition essay, not what I wanted to shoot, and the result was such a high box office, then I simply came by temperament, and what I wanted to shoot!"
Many people always say that the high box office of "Assembly Number" and "Tangshan Earthquake" is because ZF chartered the venue.
You're awesome, you also make a movie that ZF organizes to charter!
"It's a lot of work at the box office of 1 billion, but I think it should pay for itself. ”
Feng Xiaogang waved his hand, his face full of modesty...
Xu Hui smiled and was noncommittal.
If fading out can be seen from the movie itself, "1942" is indeed a good movie, at least it can rank in the top three in Feng Xiaogang's movie sequence, but unfortunately, the box office is not good.
The main reason is, of course, that the subject matter is not pleasing, the Chinese New Year, the audience walks into the cinema mainly to have fun and relax, your whole theme is such a serious work, is it a bit against the audience?
The external factor is that I came across "Youth Pi", a work that Li An completely canonized to God!
Of course, Feng Xiaogang is too presumptuous, and all kinds of scolding the audience on Weibo are also one of the reasons, after all, after experiencing the Hushubao incident, Feng Xiaogang's national favorability has dropped a lot...
