Chapter Eighty-Four: Where There Are People
Before Damien Chazelle, he was not too well known,.。
He won the Grand Jury Prize at the 30th Sundance Film Festival, and also won the 87th Academy Award for Best Editing and Best Supporting Actor.
The most important thing is that he is only 31 years old!
So many media gave him the title of future master, in fact, in the eyes of many people, this future master means that you are not qualified now!
Shen Lin is too, although he won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2014, most of Lao Mei's impression of him is not very strong, so he is also a 'master of the future'
The first cooperation between the two 'future masters' is very good just for this gimmick, and Shen Lin's film is not bad in Europe, so it is logical that going to the water city has become one of the publicity points of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival.
Of course, Shen Lin, who had already determined the strategy for the prize, returned to the mainland again after learning about the relevant progress according to his professional ethics.
Because the summer vacation is over, a public opinion war is about to start!
……
This year's summer season is really miserable.
In fact, when the summer season has not yet arrived, everyone's expectations for this schedule are 'miserable'!
Although strictly speaking, the summer file is the name of the film industry, whether it is movies or television, everyone seems to be fighting hard!
The release of more than 50 movies of various genres, the fight of TV series produced by big IP in the same schedule, and the fierce battle of new and old programs... The fierce competition and the ferocity of the scramble can indeed be called tragic.
Standing on the basis of the 2015 summer file of the movie box office and the frequent explosion of TV and variety shows, the word "miserable" is full of expectations in the industry.
But unfortunately, when September is approaching, we look back on this summer and find that there is only "miserable" left.
Compared with the first two years of the huge momentum, the summer file of 2016 is not even "strong" as a whole, and movies, television, and variety shows have encountered a cold reception from the market at the same time.
The box office of the movie is basically the same as last year, and there is "zero growth" for the first time in several years, if it is not for the finale, there may not even be a film that breaks 1 billion!
In addition, the rest is a slightly better performance, but the box office performance is still a little weak.
There is no comparison with the good results set by blockbusters such as last year.
If you have to define this year's summer file, I'm afraid you have to use the word "bleak".
The film industry, in particular, has been shrouded in the halo of "rapid growth", but it has encountered a painful inflection point this summer.
At the same time, many people in the industry woke up: the audience's taste is constantly improving, and only good movies can stand in the fierce competition in the future.
Then, they were surprised to find that only Zhao Liying's studio seemed to lose money in the entire summer file!
……
It is claimed that the box office started at 2 billion, and there are high hopes for surpassing, and both films are rumored to be guaranteed 1 billion!
However, reality has poured cold water on the film industry.
Xiang Taiwei sadly swiped the screen on Weibo for the box office of less than 200 million, and Wang Changtian admitted frankly that the box office of more than 500 million did not meet his psychological expectations.
The box office of these movies has not exceeded the legendary guaranteed amount!
invested 300 million at the box office of 30 million, and the box office of art films is still only a few million.
Among them, the worst loss is the Huayi brothers, although they successfully avoided this monstrous pit, but the loss of nearly 400 million still makes this big brother a little heavy.
With a cost of nearly $60 million and a box office of less than 40 million, it has gone through the tearing of Huayi and Wanda, and has completely become a victim, otherwise an anime of this quality can reap at least 230 million box office results.
It is said that Wanda did not schedule the film when it was released.
The tear between Wanda and Huayi is almost transparent.
Director Wen Zhang's works released later also suffered from Wanda's banning retaliation.
Since its release, Wanda Cinemas has moved nearly 30% of the proportion of film scheduling and the proportion of the golden field. For comedy films, the film schedule hovers between 5% and 6%, and the proportion of prime films is even lower than that of those that have been released for a week.
However, Huayi and Wanda tore apart, and the cheap ones were indeed Light Media and Anle Film and Television, and Bona also got a piece of the pie.
That's the case, these three still haven't pleased.
The light was in charge of the distribution, and although it made a small profit, it completely destroyed the series;
As for the twelve-year cycle, the box office result of 560 million is not a hit!
Fortunately, the box office is okay, barely breaking 2 billion, and the word-of-mouth is okay, but the movie doesn't make much money.
First of all, the actor's salary has risen a lot, and secondly, Shen Lin has taken away 8% of the box office share, coupled with the joining of other producers, it seems that the box office result of 2 billion yuan can really fall on the company's injured profit results.
The good thing is that the stock keeps climbing.
completely crushed the last wisp of the HK film industry's desire to dominate the mainland film industry.
After all, the Chinese star is not the Yongsheng of twenty years ago.
I can't play the underworld anymore!
As for the continuation of the Chenlong-style kung fu comedy, many people sighed 'Chenlong is old!', to be honest, if it weren't for the Oscars at the end of the year to award Chenlong a Lifetime Achievement Award, Chenlong's legendary body is estimated to be really blocked by the mouths of Youyou!
However, all this still does not cover up one thing - Zhao Liying's studio actually made money in such a deserted schedule!
Whether it's a movie that you produce and distribute yourself, or you participate in the distribution, you can make a lot of money.
It's hard to accept.
If everyone earns, you also earn, no problem, but the reality is that everyone is losing, and you are making money.
It's hard to be satisfied!
This is what it means not to suffer from a small number but to suffer from unevenness.
Especially Shen Lin was still before and openly and maliciously mocked, how could the Chinese star, who has always been dominant, stand it?
If the box office is really awesome, then it's okay to say, it's a big deal to say that Shen Lin, a junior, doesn't understand the film market, but now, it's smashed!
