Chapter 345 - The Pattern of the Film Industry

In this week's time, in the theaters of "Chinese Partner" released all over the country, the attendance rate was bursting, and the scalper tickets for "Chinese Partner" at the entrance of the theater were also selling hotly, and the price was even doubled in the prime time at night, and there was only one reason for these phenomena, that is, there was a huge error in the judgment of Shanghai Film Group, and the copies they prepared were seriously insufficient!

There are 1,200 copies of Pirates of the Caribbean, 800 copies of Chariots of Soul in circulation, and only 200 copies of Chinese Partner!

This is a strategic mistake for Shanghai Film Group...... Because even in the most optimistic Chu Qiubai's view, even if "Chinese Partner" can reach a box office of 20 million in more than a month, the number of 200 copies is more than enough. [No pop-up novel network]

Who would have thought that "Chinese Partner" would break through the box office of 20 million in just two weeks?

Chu Qiubai gave a death order at the emergency meeting: "We must hurry up the time to increase the production of copies!" At least 500 copies must meet the requirements of the theater! ”

In Shenzhen, several theaters even sent people to buy copies by air in order to be able to screen "Chinese Partners" in multiple halls at the same time.

At this time, Shanghai Film Group found that the decline of the past ten years has caused them to lose the distribution ability they were once proud of, and there is a serious lack of manpower and material resources, and even the number of promotional posters and color pages produced by it is far from catching up with the improvement of "Chinese Partner" in the national film craze, which makes everyone in the distribution department become ants on the hot pot.

Shanghai Film Group, facing the danger of a technical collapse in distribution for the first time, Chu Qiubai personally ordered the film studio, the translation factory, and the technical Changjia Film Factory to stop all the work at hand and must fully support the publicity and distribution of "Chinese Partner".

When they took over the distribution of "Chinese Partner", they couldn't believe their ears in the face of countless theaters and media who called to urge copies and promotional materials.

Looking at the hot scene of the whole group, Director Li's heart was completely shaken, and it was not until this moment that he knew what Director Jin meant when he said "the soul of Shangying has returned......

A year ago, even if the four factories were integrated, Shangying was only a first-class film studio, and the appearance of "Chinese Partner" means that Shangying has the opportunity to be promoted to the ranks of top domestic film companies.

Gu Xiaofan's importance to them is the same as Feng Xiaogang's weight to Huayi!

After realizing this irresistible wave, Director Li no longer dared to have the slightest slackness, and said excitedly to his subordinate employees: "You must all tighten the chain for me this time, don't let Director Gu find fault with us!" ”

Mr. Li himself even went to the printing house to supervise the promotional materials of "China Partner".

At the same time, Chu Qiubai personally called Han, hoping that he could give up part of the screen of "Soul Chariot", and implored him to support this domestic film on the film.

But Han rejected this proposal, which made Chu Qiubai a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Han should be the most hopeful for the development of Chinese films, Gu Xiaofan has become a new generation of Feng Xiaogang's level of character, doesn't Han want to see it?

At Han's home, Han Xiaoli, the general manager of China Film, also asked Han this question. "Shouldn't we support China Partner a little more?"

"It's not the time yet." Han replied expressionlessly, analyzing the current situation:

"Our group has signed contracts with Disney, with Columbia, and we have to guarantee their screen count...... And we need high-quality Hollywood blockbusters to attract a large number of domestic audiences to the cinema, so that the entire domestic film industry can accelerate its development...... When the whole plate is bigger, it is the most beneficial for us. ”

Han is not unwilling to support Shangying, but he is thinking about the grand strategic level, if he blindly favors domestic films, then it is not healthy for the development of the entire industry.

After all, the income from imported films is the cake of the Film Bureau, and the interests of the General Administration cannot be sacrificed to help the development of Shanghai Film, right?

What's more, the number of screens assigned to "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Soul Chariot" has already been agreed with Warner and Disney in advance, and it cannot be changed temporarily.

After all, no one expected in advance that "Chinese Partner" would suddenly become popular.

"If they want to have more screens, they can only wait for the next time...... "Han said with a look of anticipation:

"The better he performs this time, the more screens I can try to give them next summer...... Let's hope they fight again. ”

As the helmsman of domestic films, Han Wuwu hopes that domestic filmmakers can compete with Hollywood movies in the summer.

This is not just a little bit of profit at the box office, but a question of whether domestic films can be mentioned in one breath.

If "Chinese Partner", which invested $5 million, can defeat "Soul Chariot" with an investment of $100 million on the frontal battlefield, then this symbolic significance is far greater than the actual significance!

If you don't do it, the pattern of the entire domestic film market will change.

Ordinary audiences in China will feel how well-made, good-looking, and invincible Hollywood movies are.

In fact, few people realize that although Hollywood movies are extremely well-made and have a huge number of various genres, there are actually only two types that can really sweep the world.

The first is animated films made with Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks.

Except for Japan, no country in the world has a formed animation industry to compete with Hollywood, and with the 80-year influence of Disney animation on the world, Hollywood animated films have always been in a lonely position.

However, the mainstream audience of animated films is only children and teenagers under the age of 25, and the impact on the film industry in other countries is not fatal.

The real trump card of Hollywood movies is the second type - the royal super blockbuster of "big investment + big star".

Whether it's an action movie, a science fiction movie, or a disaster movie, it's all a combination of this universal American value and dazzling film and television effects.

This kind of royal super blockbuster, whether it is the spiritual core of the mainstream of the United States, or the dazzling visual effects of the power of film technology, is unmatched by other countries.

The most terrifying thing is that this kind of "royal road movie" is aimed at audiences of all ages, regardless of gender......

If animated movies are like sea and air carriers, dominating the sea area and making people lose control of the sea area, then the royal road movie is a veritable nuclear weapon, and the first shot is to destroy all your regular armies directly on the map.

Regardless of your chemistry or religious background, almost everyone will love this kind of royal movie, and no other country in the world has the strength to imitate this genre......

It was this large-scale invasion of "royal films" that wiped out the film industry in other countries around the world
