This closed-door discussion in Huaying Company was quite intense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a discussion about the fate of domestic films, and some people even slapped the table and scolded Huaying Company as a traitor, a foreign comprador, and a sinner in the domestic film industry.

If a few months ago, everyone talked about Hollywood blockbusters quite calmly and felt that they were still far away from themselves, then now after watching "The Outlaw", many people can't sit still and are quite excited.

It is precisely because I saw the huge gap that I realized that in the face of such blockbusters, domestic films have no power to resist.

Ordinary people have watched this kind of Hollywood blockbuster, and they are not interested in watching domestic movies.

They know in their hearts that this is a general trend, but they still hold on to the luck mentality, and only think about keeping Hollywood blockbusters out, how long they can refuse them, and let domestic films continue to survive.

The closed-door discussion, which was originally scheduled to last an hour, was extended to two hours.

Most people have expressed their opposition, and even within Huaying, there are different voices.

China Film Company manages the film projection institutions across the country and is the superior leader of the film projection companies in various provinces and cities, which does not mean that the following companies must obey the arrangements of the leaders, and can also raise objections.

Especially for the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters, the reformists and conservatives within the Chinese Film Company have a fierce struggle.

Among them, the strongest Beijing Film Screening Company strongly opposed and refused to take over the distribution of "The End of the World".

The whole thing can be described as a lot of resistance.

However, the General Administration of this matter has issued a document, and there is also the concern of the country's leaders, and it must be carried out.

After an argument, everyone began to bargain and negotiate terms.

Can Hollywood blockbusters be released again next year, in what way, whether it will be released nationwide, or whether a few cities will be selected as pilots, how appropriate the ticket price is, etc.

Huaying Company has its own plan, and "The End of the World" must be released this year to test the market's reaction and prepare for the introduction of ten Hollywood blockbusters next year.

The film will not be rolled out nationwide, but will be released in several major cities, and it is uncertain how long it will be released.

Under normal circumstances, the release time of domestic films is about one month, and if the box office is too bad, the film will be withdrawn in advance, and the release time will be extended if the box office is good, which is the rule in the industry.

It can't be said that a bad movie will continue to be screened without an audience, it would be a waste of resources.

Of course, the flexibility in this is very large, and how to schedule films is in the hands of Huaying Company.

Everyone started a tug-of-war on this issue, Huaying Company felt that a month was very appropriate, and other film companies thought that the time was too long, and there would be no way for domestic films to survive this month.

From a month to half a month, and then to a week, the number of days of release of "The Outlaw" is compressed as much as possible.

Everyone thinks that since it is the first Hollywood blockbuster, it will be released for a week first, this is the first round of releases, see how the audience reacts, and the second round of releases can be organized later.

Finally, we talk about the ticket price of the movie.

At this time, a ticket for an ordinary domestic movie is five to eight yuan, the ticket price of a movie for a big director like Zhang Yimou is about ten yuan, and the ticket price of "The End of the World" is set at fifteen yuan.

This price is in line with the spending power of Chinese audiences.

This movie will be released in big cities, and after the domestic salary adjustment, the average salary standard in big cities is about four or five hundred yuan per person, and spending fifteen yuan to watch a foreign blockbuster will not seem too expensive.

The discussion ended in a clamour, and the parties did not reach an agreement, and those who should be opposed were still opposed.

China Film Company has made up its mind to release this Hollywood blockbuster in mid-November.

Due to the strong opposition of the Beijing Film Projection Company, in the capital, only theaters in Haidian District can see "The End of the World", and cinemas in other regions refuse to show it.

Nationwide, only a few cities such as Hucheng, Huacheng, Jinmen, and Shancheng are willing to serve as pilots, because the CEOs of film companies in these cities are reformers, and there is little resistance to advancing.

Around this Hollywood blockbuster, there was a wrestling between local forces and the will of the upper class.

When Lin Zixuan walked out of Huaying Company, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and in addition to watching movies this afternoon, he was listening to quarrels.

In such a discussion, as a private film and television company that has not yet produced a movie, he has no right to speak, so he can only watch from the sidelines and experience this moment for himself.

In the history of the development of Chinese films, this is undoubtedly a very important moment.

Whether it is a reformer or an opponent, the original intention is to consider domestic films, of course, there are huge economic interests involved, which is the main reason for everyone's endless debate.

It is conceivable that today's discussion is just the beginning, and I am afraid that this period will not be peaceful.

Good Dream Company, several high-level executives got together to discuss Hollywood blockbusters.

"This kind of scene is really rare in many years, I said can we still do our propaganda?" Feng Xiaogang proposed.

In the past few days, all entertainment-related newspapers and pages have basically reported the news of Hollywood blockbusters, most of which are boycotts, and many seniors in the film industry have spoken.

The lecturers and professors of the major art academies in the capital were also unwilling to be lonely and stood up and waved their flags and shouted.

Film studios and actors boycott Hollywood blockbusters from the perspective that the domestic film industry will suffer.

Professors at art schools boycott Hollywood blockbusters artistically.

They believe that Hollywood blockbusters are not artistic, cannot cultivate people's sentiments, only have entertainment functions, and can only stimulate the senses after watching them, and will not touch the heart.

The side for support and the side against are you singing and I appear, and I am very busy.

In this environment, the publicity effect of "Party A and Party B" is not great, and besides, the schedule is not right.

"The End of the World" is scheduled to be released in mid-November, and although "Party A and Party B" are almost finished, post-production will take another month, and it will not be released until at least mid-December.

"Stop, let's not join in the fun, it's too messy this time. Lin Zixuan decided, "It's just that Brother Feng has lost a chance to become famous in a fight, it's a pity." ”

"Pull it down, don't hurt me, although I haven't watched this Hollywood film, I have also been in the United States, I know what a blockbuster looks like, and if I want to compete with it at the box office, I need the right time and place to have a chance. Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said.

"How much box office do you think this film can have?" said Ge You curiously.

In recent years, the domestic film market has been sluggish, most of the domestic film box office is more than 1 million yuan, the box office of better movies is million, and there are only a handful of movies with a box office of more than 10 million.

"If it's only shown for a week, it's 10 million, otherwise it's terrible. Feng Xiaogang guessed.

"It's estimated that it's more than that, 20 million is not impossible. Lin Zixuan asserted.

This topic is not only interesting to them, but also to everyone who has something to do with the film industry, and there are many predictions in the newspapers, and everyone is both worried and curious about the first Hollywood blockbuster to be introduced into China. (To be continued.) )
