Chapter 556: An Unexpected Frenzy
On January 5, Xincun Entertainment's big-budget movie "Mingliang Sea Battle" was officially released, which started Xincun Entertainment's first heavy shot in 2014. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Jinyan quietly went into the cinema with T-Ara and experienced the things he had made with more than 20 billion yuan.
How do you say how you feel when you see it...... The special effects are good, the picture is very good, and the money is not spent in vain. As for the plot, looking at the appearance of the T-Ara girls squeezing their little hands nervously, as well as the star-eyed worship of "Mahatma Yi Sunsin", it can be seen that it should be more in line with the taste of the Korean people. But in Tang Jinyan's view, this is the Korean version of the "Anti-Japanese Drama", which cannot withstand scrutiny in terms of historical facts, and the plot logic is also a bit problematic...... What annihilated more than 9,000 Japanese troops, and the Japanese army in that battle of Nima only had 7,000 people...... What's the difference between this and exo fans saying they have 800 million meals?
In business, it's good if a movie can attract the box office, and it's not necessary to be more serious. However, Tang Jinyan always felt uncomfortable, the historical drama he wanted to watch was really not a type of magic reform like "Queen Qi" or "Mingliang Naval Battle......
In particular, "The Battle of Mingliang", as a history that Chinese understand, is very different from what Koreans see from the perspective. From the perspective of the South Koreans, almost all the merits of this naval battle against Japan were placed on the Korean army and Yi Sunsin, and the contribution of the Ming Dynasty was completely ignored, which was quite awkward for Tang Jinyan, especially since this movie was actually produced under the banner of him, a Chinese, which was extremely awkward.
In his understanding, the Mingliang victory is far from the historical value advocated in the movie, in fact, there were several naval battles in the Renjin Rebellion, and the Mingliang victory was the only one of them dominated by the Korean army, and the result was only to defeat the Japanese vanguard army with an ambush, which basically had no impact on the grand strategy, and the Japanese army still destroyed the Korean military port after this defeat and controlled the sea dominance. In terms of the overall situation, it was far less important than the "Battle of Luliang" commanded by Chen Luan, the commander of the Ming Army's naval division, in which the main fleet of the Japanese army was annihilated.
I didn't have a choice when I was an audience, but now that I'm a big boss, can I make one according to my own ideas?
For the company's film and television production, I usually don't interfere, and I fully give film and television professionals autonomy, but in today's situation, I don't know if I can try it.
If this "Battle of Mingliang" can be popular, then the next one will be a sister story, and "The Battle of Luliang" will be done, I don't know how effective it will be...... I think that at least the box office in China is better than "The Battle of Mingliang", and the Chinese box office of "The Battle of Mingliang" is not the kind that is not adaptable.
However, in South Korea, maybe "The Battle of Mingliang" will be very popular...... Looking at the red expressions on the girls' faces, Tang Jinyan fell into deep thought.
Maybe it's not just the people who like it, but it's probably also politically useful. This is a very nationalist "main theme" blockbuster, and a hero who is born out of thin air has an incomparable uplifting effect on the people who are in a confused trough. In today's political situation, Park Geun-hye's "creative economy" and "economic democratization" ideas have not achieved the desired results since she was in power for so long, and the uplifting effect of this theme will give the people some strength, and the scene of Park Geun-hye's increasing skepticism will be somewhat improved, and the public's sense of expectation for the "hero who saves the world" will also shift the sense of doubt about Park Geun-hye. There is no need to doubt the political effect of a movie, which is the norm in South Korea.
Tang Jinyan guessed correctly, less than two days after the release of the movie, he received a call from Park Geun-hye, and the call was in person, not through the secretary general.
"The Battle of Mingliang was a good shot." Park Geun-hye's tone was very clear and praised: "This kind of exciting main theme movie can be made a few more." ”
Tang Jinyan smiled: "Making movies is to make money, Your Excellency." ”
Park Geun-hye pretended not to understand: "Isn't "The Battle of Mingliang" profitable? I heard that the movie was full of CJ Theaters recently, and CJ had several more screenings. ”
"The investment in this film is too large, and it may not be able to make much money at the local box office alone. Besides, "The Battle of Mingliang" makes money, which does not mean that other main theme movies also make money. ”
"How about making you make more money in "The Battle of Mingliang"?"
Tang Jinyan was stunned: "How to make more?" ”
Park Geun-hye said lightly: "In two days, I will take the Blue House officials to the cinema to watch this movie." ”
Mr. Tang took a deep breath, and Park Geun-hye's expectations for the film were higher than he had imagined, which could only mean that her political situation was worse than he had imagined. In any case, Park Geun-hye's support for him is still very large, and Park Geun-hye's political leanings are also extremely beneficial to him, and once Park Geun-hye cannot control the situation, it will also have a great impact on him.
Time is running out...... It is still necessary to get rid of the dependence on Park Geun-hye as soon as possible.
But Park Geun-hye is right, this move can indeed make "The Battle of Mingliang" earn more...... In Tang Jinyan's eyes, from Park Geun-hye leading the crowd to watch "The Battle of Mingliang", what he saw was that Park Geun-hye's condition was getting worse and worse, and from the perspective of the people, what was reflected was the terrifying movie propaganda effect.
Less than a week after the movie was released, Park Geun-hye took the Blue House officials to the cinema in person to watch the movie with the public. When the news spread, the Koreans were shocked, almost causing a thunderous earthquake in the film industry. The president came forward to advertise, the effect of this advertisement is stronger than any star effect, the movie that has been fading in popularity suddenly brought a new wave of climax, and the crowd of people flocking to the movie theater made CJ feel a little panicked, in memory, such a terrifying movie-watching boom in recent years can be traced back to the "Avatar" of the year? Even "League of Thieves" doesn't have such a scene......
The frenzy of movies has driven more than just the popularity of theaters.
The "Yi Sun-sin" effect was once again detonated among the people, and all the peripherals related to Yi Sun-sin, such as biographical novels, turtle boat toys, etc., became the new darlings of the retail industry. Cultural relics related to Yi Sun-sin have become popular attractions, and the buildings, docks and warship models related to Yi Sun-sin in Datang Film and Television City have become the most visited places every day. The re-emergence of a film as a socio-cultural phenomenon is rare even in South Korea, where film culture is extremely influential.
In other words, this film, which Tang Jinyan has hardly paid attention to in all the processes from preparation to filming to post-production to review, and who doesn't know the progress at all except for the appropriation, is popular, popular......
In the statistics of CJ Cinemas, when the number of moviegoers of "Mingliang Sea Battle" barely fell, the curve soared all the way, and it was about to break 10 million.
How many movies have broken 10 million at the box office in South Korea? The highest record so far is 13.62 million in "Avatar"! Judging from this curve, there seems to be no problem for "Mingliang Naval Battle" to break through 15 million! And it will continue to rise!
Going to break the record? And to throw off the record of millions? Tang Jinyan had to admit that he was lucky, and he didn't even have any psychological preparation for this sudden success...... I was still dissatisfied when I watched the movie......
And it's ...... No wonder people say that entertainment is the most profitable, just watching the benefits of this movie is enough for him to eat entertainment in Xincun for three years.
I still have to thank the president for giving him a push. Tang Jinyan rubbed his head and called Park Geun-hye: "Thank you President for personally advertising ......"
"To each his own according to his needs." Park Geun-hye smiled: "Do you have an idea for the next movie?" ”
"Take advantage of the popularity of "The Battle of Mingliang" and make a sister chapter."
"Sisters?"
"Well, "The Battle of Luliang."
Park Geun-hye was silent, as if analyzing the pros and cons of making a movie based on the merits of Chinese, and after thinking for a while that it was difficult to make a judgment, she lightly pretended to be forced: "I believe that you have a sense of proportion in some things." ”
Tang Jinyan smiled: "I have measure. (To be continued.) )
