Just after the New Year, the mentality of the cast and crew has not yet been corrected, so these two days have been restorative filming, and there are not many tasks, mainly to find the state for everyone.

The filming of "Source Code" is divided into two parts: inside the studio and outside the studio, the scenes in the studio are relatively simple, the crew used the old train car to build a highly restored detachable carriage, and all the scenes in the carriage were filmed in this studio. The scenes outside the studio are not difficult, but they need to be scheduled.

There is an abandoned railway platform outside the fourth ring road of Haijin City, which is a platform left after the diversion of the Beijing-Tianjin Line. At present, because the train track has not been dismantled because it is still running trucks, the railway bureau is very cooperative to pull the GK201 train over to assist the crew in filming.

Although the difficulty of location shooting is not high, Zhang Tan did not pursue too many cool shots, but the scheduling of trains is more troublesome, and it is often half a day of scheduling to shoot one or two sets of shots.

In addition, it is just starting to work, and the employees have not yet entered the state, Zhang Tan did not force the progress, and most of the time was idle.

I do have free time for filming, but I don't really have idleness.

Li Yan rushed to Haijin City and reported to Zhang Tan about the work of Luying, and recently Luying's main work is to release "New Year on the Tip of the Tongue".

"The current box office of "New Year" is 11 million, and now the film schedule has fallen by 2%, and it is estimated that there will be another 2 million box office." Li Yan said regretfully.

Since its establishment, Luying has not completed many projects, such as a "Crazy Stone" the year before last, the "A Bite of China" series last year, and the "New Year on the Tip of the Tongue" that is being released. In addition, "Crazy Racing" and "Source Code" are in the works.

The stones and the tip of the tongue are all popular, but the New Year is relatively bleak.

Zhang Tan was not surprised by this box office, but just asked: "How is the word of mouth?" ”

"The word of mouth is very good."

"That's the end, not making money is something I have long thought of, as a domestic documentary. If we can enter the theater, it is a success, not to mention that we have also got more than 10 million box office, which is no worse than the box office of some movies. "Zhang Tan is very open, after all, this is a film used to brush up on the grid.

In his last life, he witnessed the box office hit the street with his own eyes, and he still made it in this life. Naturally, it was ready for failure long ago.

Faced with Zhang Tan's indifference, Li Yan shook her head amusedly, and stopped mentioning this stubble. has been cooperating with Zhang Tan for seven or eight years, Li Yanyan can not know Zhang Tan's temper, and making money is definitely not very important in his mind. Interests and hobbies are his pursuit.

Li Yan understands this pursuit very well.

became famous at a young age, and Lu Ying's profit is not much to say. Only his Luzhou studio has tens of millions of copyright fees every year, and there is also Wei-Bo Company, an immeasurable Internet company with a valuation of one billion yuan and an immeasurable once listed, and also cooperated with Lei Jun to set up an angel investment fund.

There is no shortage of money, and it is natural to pursue things other than money.

At a press conference a few days later, when Li Yan answered the question of "New Year" hitting the street, she talked very calmly: "Director Tan didn't think about making money when he started filming "New Year", he is a person whose interests determine the direction of work. Documentaries have always been a weak link in the country. He didn't shoot documentaries for commercial purposes. ”

"When we discussed it at the company meeting, we didn't expect to make a profit. From the very beginning, Luying's positioning was not to make money, but a platform for Director Tan to realize his interests. Filming "New Year" into a movie specification is just to do some exploration for Chinese documentaries. ”

This exploration is obviously meaningful, "A Bite of China" has swept the country, driving a boom in nothing, and also attracting the public's attention to documentaries. "New Year" did not do well at the box office. But there is no loss, the box office of more than 10 million is very much more than expected, and we have reason to believe that China's documentary industry. It will be more and more prosperous. ”

"In fact, the problem with "New Year" is that the domestic lack of understanding of documentaries entering theaters is not because of poor quality. In the reviews we received, several major movie rating websites gave them a rating of more than 8.5 points. ”

"I also browsed the official Weibo of "New Year" yesterday, and found that only one person left a message below saying, 'It's just that bit of food, it's not interesting', and the rest I flipped through several pages of messages, all of which were praised. When "New Year" was first released, a friend of mine didn't want to go home for the Spring Festival, but when he called me a few days later, he had already bought a ticket to go home, because "New Year" made him feel the importance of family. ”

"After listening to it, I feel very warm in my heart, the movie can be recognized, and I have a sense of accomplishment, I think what Director Tan pursues is nothing more than this. Some viewers asked me, why don't you increase the film schedule, this is beyond my ability, Chinese cinemas have developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, but the proportion of documentaries in them can be ignored. ”

"There are more mature art theaters abroad, such as Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where a documentary is screened for a week, and more than one million people watch it. But in China, there is no audience base, and there is no construction of art theaters, and it is very difficult for documentaries to compete with commercial films. ”

"I asked Director Tan the day before yesterday, and I asked him how he felt when he saw the box office failure of "New Year". Director Tan said that the hole in the documentary is very deep, but if he has the opportunity next time, he will continue to fill the hole. In fact, we are indeed planning new documentaries, led by Director Tan, and we Luying and CCTV will prepare three large-scale documentaries in the next year or two. ”

When the reporter asked what kind of documentary they were, Li Yan did not sell the two documentaries, and directly disclosed them: "One is the second season of "Tip of the Tongue", the other is "The Rise of Great Powers", which records the successive rise of the world's superpowers, and the last is "Super Project", which records the construction of major projects in China...... Director Tan will personally serve as the executive producer. ”

"The Rise of a Great Power" and "Super Project" are among the few high-quality documentaries in China, and Zhang Tan doesn't mind pushing them, but he doesn't plan to continue directing. And the second season of "Tip of the Tongue" was proposed by CCTV to shoot, the first season was too popular, and the second season is also logical.

In this way, "A Bite of the New Year" really only had a release period of half a month, and it was drawn from the cinema before the Lantern Festival, ending the box office of 14.26 million yuan.

Although compared with movies, there are very few, and some of the movies in this year's Chinese New Year file have broken 300 million. But this data is still the champion of the box office of Chinese documentaries, and it can be regarded as a small record.

Fortunately, it has not brought much negative impact to the Tip of the Tongue series, which is still the best domestic documentary in the minds of the audience and a documentary to be proud of.

Now more than 20 countries have purchased the rights from CCTV's overseas departments, which is the best sales result of Chinese documentaries.

CCTV has finalized the participation of "A Bite of China" in the documentary screening of this year's Cannes Film Festival, and more countries will come to buy the copyright. (To be continued.) )
