Chapter 02: Death Schedule

PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

followed by the fourth mid-range film, which is also powerful, is the youth inspirational film "Fire Youth 4", produced by the second-tier company Zuò Brilliant Pictures. This is a veteran film and television drama production company, although it is second-tier, its strength is very strong, and it should definitely not be underestimated.

Especially the series "Youth on Fire", which has been selling well, should not be underestimated.

Coupled with the competition of this film, the beginning of the summer file is very miserable.

Compared with Zhou Yi's "Five Poison Gates", these films can be regarded as blockbusters.

Looking at the information, these comedies with the lowest investment in mid-range films cost more than 30 million yuan to produce.

Like martial arts films and police films, the cost of making zuò is about 60 million to 80 million yuan.

As for the cost of publicity, who knows how much people will use? It is impossible to estimate it concretely, so naturally it will not be mentioned.

Zhou Yi suddenly felt, how could this be like a death schedule?

Every film is amazing!

In fact, he knew in his heart that this just looked like a death schedule, but if it really followed this standard, then every schedule was a death schedule.

Where is there a more suitable schedule?

Nowadays, the Chinese film market is extremely prosperous, like flowers and boiling oil, far exceeding the scale of the same period in the previous life, and there are many blockbuster movies and bad movies released in almost every time period, and this situation is normal in front of you.

If you don't have the skills, you can't survive in such a competitive film market.

Do you think this film market can let you make money at will?

Fishing first and then washing, washing and washing, are you dreaming?

Like Zhou Yi, it is a very correct choice to test the water with a small-cost film first, focusing on cults and national arts, and it is the way for second-tier companies to survive.

In this way, it is not easy to attract the attention and hostility of other companies, and you can develop slowly with peace of mind.

If you start making blockbusters, you don't know how to die.

Joining forces with these established companies to suppress. Can you survive under the flanking flanks of all kinds of blockbusters? The previous boss made this mistake and was directly KO by several companies. I don't even have the ability to resist it.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon in the circle, and there are many film companies that go bankrupt every year.

Often, hundreds of millions of funds are smashed into it, and they can't even splash up a wave, and they sink directly to the bottom.

The truth is so cruel that it is difficult for a layman to survive.

The Chinese film market in this world is like the American film market in the past life. And because of the large population and the affluence of the people, the box office is higher, and the competition is more fierce. Zhou Yi knew very well in his heart, don't look at the fierce competition in the current schedule, but it's not bad. If you look at the works in the summer files later, there are definitely more blockbusters, more ~ fierce ~ films, which are better than now.

It can be said that every blockbuster film. They all survive in this competitive environment surrounded by groups of enemies and fight their way out.

It is not easy for every best-selling film to stand the test of the market.

Overall, there are four mid-range works from two first-tier and two second-tier film companies in this schedule. Compared with the past, it is not extremely strong, but it is definitely not weak, and it is probably the normal strong level of 7.0 of the competition intensity.

Of course, the above films have all been scheduled, and there are still undecided, just like Zhou Yi's films.

It used to be the same. There are always some films that are added temporarily, or have test screenings and small-scale screenings.

And there are endless upsets, and everyone is mentally prepared.

The competition will definitely be more fierce than everyone predicted, and the intensity of competition is estimated to reach more than 7.5.

The Chinese Film Market in Today's World. There will definitely not be a miserable pattern of the previous life, where most of the Hollywood films on the list are made.

There are also Hollywood blockbusters, but they don't play a decisive role.

The Chinese people have a strong mentality of a big country, and they still like to watch domestic films.

Moreover, the cultural customs and movie-watching habits of the two countries are different.

Hollywood films are destined to only play some role in adjusting the situation, with little impact, and cultural invasion is not a play at all. Don't think about it.

In the past life, the United States relied on dinosaurs and big ships to enter the Chinese film market, and it will never happen in this life.

That kind of special effect is not uncommon to the Chinese people in this world.

Under normal circumstances, the domestic box office in China is high enough to fully support the production of domestic blockbusters. At present, super blockbusters with an investment of 350 million yuan in China are emerging in an endless stream, especially in the summer and New Year, which are available every year, which is not unusual.

What's more, there is also a blood transfusion in Greater East Asia and China, there is no problem at all, it is much stronger than in the previous life.

However, as the hegemon of the world, China has always been tolerant of all rivers, tolerant, inclusive, and very stylish, so naturally it will not close itself off from the country, and cannot completely shut out Hollywood in the United States. The films that should be introduced will naturally be introduced, so that the domestic people can compare and appreciate them.

It is a stone of the mountain, you can attack jade!

For example, at the end of May, there are naturally Hollywood account-sharing films involved.

Like MGM's "Robocop", Paramount's "Hell Hero" and Touchstone's "60 Seconds" are all good films, but these films do not have much impact on the competitive landscape of this schedule.

What is really likely to be an upset is some local small-budget films.

For example, there are three small-budget films to be released in this schedule.

They are the horror film "Don't Look at Indecent Things", produced by the third-line company Thorn Bird Pictures; the romance film "When I Wake Up from a Dream", produced by the Great Wall, one of the six major Chinese films; The literary film "Fruit Wood Roast Duck" is produced by Long Xiang, one of the six major Chinese people.

In addition to the above films, the schedule has not yet been finalized, but there are two more films that are very likely to be released in this schedule.

For example, Daqin Pictures' literary and martial arts blockbuster "Assassin Nie Yinniang".

There is also a second-tier Chishi Pictures' small-budget literary film "A Cut of Plums".

Other films are still under investigation, and some news has not yet been revealed, so I don't know.

The company's investigation is really powerful, and even films like "Assassin Nie Yinniang" have been picked up.

In short, in this schedule, the competition pattern of various films is like this.

This is exactly the competitive pattern of a group of horses taking the lead and running together!

It is obviously not easy for a new film to emerge and break this pattern!

The films that are currently being released in April, although there are also a few good ones. For example, Zhou Yi mentioned to his sister last time the romantic and nostalgic blockbuster "Tokyo Holiday" directed by Zhang Yimu, but these films are all in the final stage at that time, and at the end of the box office, they will definitely not be competitive enough. Not worth paying attention to. The films in the data basically represent the overall competitive landscape of this schedule, and the difference will not be very large.

In fact, the box office competition is fierce.

Zhou Yi also felt the pressure heavy.

Although he is very confident in his film "Five Poisons", no one knows whether he can stand out.

However, Zhengdong's predecessor, Aurora Company, has had some successful examples of small-budget films. Very experienced in this area.

This has added a lot of confidence to Zhou Yi.

In today's extremely competitive film market, it doesn't mean that you have memories of your past life, and if you shoot the business card of your past life, you will definitely be able to sell well. It all depends on the actual situation at the time, social and humanistic thoughts, the impact of popular events, as well as the schedule arrangement, competitors in the same period, and various situations to analyze the approximate box office number. It may not be accurate, and some surprises are unavoidable.

Popular films that were big hits in the past life, and suddenly fall on the street in this life, are all very normal situations.

For example, if a film like "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is servant on the street, Zhou Yi will not be surprised.

Especially everyone secretly has their own means, such as "Six Blessings", "Disciple of the Evil God", "Ultimate Mission 3", "Fire Youth 4" and other types of films with the potential to hit the box office are gathered in this schedule, is it encircling and suppressing "Havoc in Heaven", who can say clearly?

Like Rubik's Cube Pictures and Brilliant Pictures, which one has a good relationship with the Big Six, what hints and transactions are there, who can explain?

Which side are Huanyu and Yousheng on? Outsiders simply can't grasp the beauty of it.

It's just that this schedule is generally not bad, and "Five Poisons" must strive to be released in advance of this schedule, at least to start a test screening.

The further back you go, the more blockbusters you encounter. The more difficult it is.

But no matter what, Zhou Yi still has a certain degree of confidence at present.

After all, the quality of this film in this life is far beyond that of the previous life.

It's a small-budget film again, not to mention how big it is, the Chinese film market is so hot, at least it's not a problem to recover the cost.

It can be done with the support of fans of genre films alone.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment. Not too worried.

When he was reading the information, Zhuo Qinglian finished handling some of the work at hand and came over to communicate with the brother and sister.

She attaches great importance to the film "Eight Hundred Scholars of Langya Mountain".

This film is a screenplay adapted from the novel of the same name, and the original book has a very good readership.

The opening masterpiece of the summer file is Zhongyi's annual war drama, which does indicate fierce competition.

This film tells the wonderful story of the 800 heroes of the revolutionary army trapped in Langya Mountain during the period of Chinese rejuvenation, and blocked the enemy's 10,000-person field division for ten days and ten nights when the reinforcements were cut off, which seems to be a bit exaggerated.

Anyway, this film looks more fierce than Hollywood's Smecta and oh, Sparta's 300 red pants.

In this world, Hollywood also has 300 red pants, a macho film.

According to Zhuo Qinglian, this "Eight Hundred Soldiers" is also a special effects war blockbuster in the style of oil painting in red trousers.

It's just that the 300 red trousers are Western classical oil paintings, and the 800 Shi is the special effects style of modern Chinese oil paintings.

There are similarities and differences between the two, but in short, they are very beautiful.

Zhuo Qinglian said that she had seen the trailer, and the effect was indeed very amazing.

She also recommended it to Zhou Yi and asked him to take a look too.

Zhou Yi naturally followed the advice, deliberately found the trailer of "Eight Hundred Scholars", watched it carefully, and felt that the picture was indeed extremely amazing, and it was really beautiful. In terms of picture effect alone, his small-budget films definitely can't be compared.

People add special effects to the whole film, and shoot on the green screen, how can this compare?

If you compare the "Assembly" in the previous life, it will be inferior, and it is not a high-grade work at all.

If nothing else, this special effects blockbuster will inevitably be a big hit, and no one can stop it, even leading the summer file, it will not be surprising. It's no wonder that the other four major Chinese people have avoided it, and none of them dared to let their own flagship films be shaken.

Only "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", which does not know whether to live or die, is on the wind.

The director of that film and the company's executives are so confident?
