Chapter 304: The Top of Business
"Brother, are we really going to break 200 million?" The king will not call Zhang Tan for a day, he will be uncomfortable, "Crazy Stone" is too crazy, crazy and a little crazy makes him feel unreal.
No matter how much Zhang Tan pretended to be forced, he couldn't hide his excitement: "There are no blockbusters released this month, and there doesn't seem to be any next month, if you look at the current momentum, the stone is very hopeful to break through 200 million." ”
200 million box office, which is a higher grade of more than 100 million yuan club.
There are four 200 million box office movies in Chinese film history, but two are Hollywood blockbusters, and the remaining two are blockbusters shot by the fifth-generation famous director Zhang Chao.
In other words, there is only one Chinese director who has won 200 million box office in China.
Rare things are expensive, if the stone can also break 200 million, Zhang Tan is the second 200 million box office director, for Zhang Tan who is a first-time film director, this is a very awesome honor. And what's even more awesome is that Zhang Chao's two blockbusters have mixed reputations, and the scolding has not stopped.
The stone is rarely scolded, and all of them are praised.
And as Zhang Tan expected in advance, the multi-line narrative style has been highly praised and is known as creating a new film style.
The compulsion of the mountain monster has always been very high.
"Cooperating with you, brother, is my most correct choice, the stone can be sold for more than 200 million, and the prospects of Huayi Brothers are very good." Lord Wang laughed on the other end of the phone, "By the way, I just discussed with my brother, Huayi Brothers is ready to expand the scale, are you interested in buying some shares?" ”
"Huayi Brothers' shares? Okay. Zhang Tan is very optimistic about the development of Huayi Brothers, and the Wang brothers are all long-sleeved and good at dancing.
"Okay, let's go back and eat together. Have a good talk. ”
"No problem."
"With that said, there's one more thing. The day after tomorrow, the 16th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will open in Suzhou. "Crazy Stone" failed to participate in the selection because of schedule problems, so it can only wait for the year after tomorrow. But I contacted the organizing committee and arranged for Shi Shi to participate in the film festival in the past, do you have time to participate in the film forum? At the film festival, propaganda and publicity, add another fire to the stone? ”
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has two awards, one is the highest gold rooster award for Chinese films, and the other is the Hundred Flowers Award for popular films. From 05 onwards. These two awards are presented in turn, and this year it is the turn of the Golden Rooster Award.
However, "Crazy Stone" did not meet the registration deadline for this year's Golden Rooster Awards, so it can only wait for the next Golden Rooster Awards two years later. As for the Hundred Flowers Award, there is no one this year, so at this year's film festival, Stone has nothing to do but mix with a film festival for publicity.
Zhang Tan has always been unconcerned about propaganda work, and this time is no exception: "Let Guo Shuishou and Liu Muhua go to publicity, I won't go." ”
"Okay. The mundane matter of business will be left to us laymen to deal with, and you can engage in creation with peace of mind. Stone is selling so well now, should the new movie make persistent efforts and have another crazy comedy? ”
"I don't know. Didn't think about it. ”
"Then after you think about it, contact me, Huayi Brothers will soon be the company you hold shares. We can't forget about our cooperation. ”
"Okay, if you think about it. I'll work with you. ”
……
There are too many people who want to find Zhang Tan to work with.
Especially now, "Crazy Stone" is running for a box office of 200 million. The bosses of the company in the film and television circle were all staring at each other, thinking that they could cooperate with Zhang Tan and come up with another blockbuster of 200 million yuan.
However, it is more difficult to cooperate with Zhang Tan.
Because Zhang Tan has no idea of continuing to make movies now, he has no long-term plan, he is used to a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and now he doesn't want to make movies, but worries about writing songs for the Olympics.
The fact that the cooperation cannot be negotiated does not mean that Zhang Tan's title cannot be borrowed.
Zhang Dabeard's "Dragon Babu" has begun to be promoted with Zhang Tan's east wind, and will be broadcast simultaneously on Zhejiang Satellite TV, Taiwan Zhongtv, and Xiangxiang ATV in November. Xunnan Satellite TV's "Xiao Li Flying Knife" is planned to be broadcast in December, and it also signed a contract with TVB in Xiangxiang, which will also be broadcast simultaneously.
Then there is the TV series version of "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi" from Sonic Pictures, which will be broadcast early next year.
In terms of movies, Huayi Brothers' "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to be completed, and if it can catch up with next year's summer file, this movie will definitely be hyped with the help of Zhang Tan's title.
China Film Group's "Dragon Babu" has been tossed for many days for some reason, and it has not been started, and now Zhang Tan's movie is on fire, China Film Group can't sit still, and immediately announced the start of filming.
Sonic Pictures' new movie is "The Four Famous Catchers Against the Cold", which is also finished, and may also be released in the summer of next year.
Around Zhang Tan, a huge IP industry group is booming.
In the past, someone said that "Tan Zhang has been commercialized", which was denied by Zhang Tan, but the facts are not false, he has indeed driven an industry.
In terms of the adaptation of film and television dramas, there have been waves after waves in recent years, which is dizzying.
In terms of novel publishing, it is even more coquettish.
In September this year, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" came to an end, setting off another round of Tan-style martial arts peaks. In mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia and overseas Chinese areas, they are all sold out of stock. Even the comics adapted from novels published by the Jade Dynasty Group have not only sold well in Southeast Asia, but also opened many distribution points in the mainland, and the sales have been good.
On the side of translating foreign languages, the English version and the French version have not yet succeeded, and the Japanese version has been successfully translated and published since the Four Famous Catches series, and the Condor Trilogy has also been successfully translated and published, and the sales are okay.
The game adaptation is mainly in cooperation with Xishanju, a subsidiary of Kingsoft, to develop stand-alone games and online games, and then it is to authorize several small game companies to develop web game products. Mobile games are also being tried, but the era of smartphones has not yet come, and mobile games are not popular for the time being, so Zhang Tan did not let Li Yan sell the copyright of mobile games.
In addition, the stage play copyright of the Condor Trilogy was also sold to the Beiqi People's Art Theater.
Taken together, there are a lot of industries driven.
This is still Zhang Tan's relatively low-key now, if he goes to the cave every day to give speeches, hold academic conferences, and go on shows. There may be more.
He has indeed become a trendsetter of the times.
……
However, this one is a trendsetter. In the past few days, after creating a dark horse miracle and being touted by countless people, it has finally encountered a trace of discordant opposition.
It cannot be said that Zhang Tan was opposed. It should be Huayi Brothers and Luying that the two companies were attacked.
The reason for the incident was that "Crazy Stone" went crazy for three consecutive weeks in October, and behind the high box office, there was a monopoly of more than 90% of the films, so that many films released at the same time were announced out of the market almost before they entered the door. Films such as "Iron Triangle", "The Fourth Man", and "Strange Girl" have only been released for one day.
As a result, the producers and main creators of these films strongly criticized the behavior of monopolizing the film arrangement.
"The monopoly of film scheduling is the biggest poison to Chinese films, and some big productions have turned theaters into their own backyards. Didn't give us these small cost productions, a little way to live. No matter how big a big production achieves, it is only a deformed development, which is not good for Chinese films. ”
"We call on the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to sanction this phenomenon, and we can't let Chinese films be reduced to a few blockbusters singing a one-man show, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring."
As soon as these people's words came out, they were sarcastically ridiculed by many fans who like stones: "I don't blame myself for making bad films, but I blame others for not giving alms to arrange films." ”
"I have the ability to make a movie that looks better than a stone, and my brother doesn't say a word. Buy tickets to your movie now. ”
"Normal people don't give up delicious food, they eat a pig food."
"In the past, I was really unhappy with blockbuster movies monopolizing the box office, but now, I wish there was only one stone in the cinema. Because only one stone can see into the eye. ”
The eyes of the masses were bright, and one fell in favor of the stone.
However, after the tree made a big move, "Crazy Stone" saw that it was rushing to the box office of 200 million. Other film and television companies are in a hurry, and some people can't help but take the opportunity to open their mouths.
"The behavior of monopolizing film scheduling is very unreasonable. This is forcing the audience to choose only one movie, and the audience has no choice. will contribute some so-called miracle numbers. ”
"Some movies, not to mention the quality, just because there are big stars, famous directors, and the support of large companies, you can get a very high film schedule, which is a violation of the rules of the game, and we must call on everyone to resist the monopoly of film scheduling."
"The movie may be good, but if there is a problem with the publicity method, how can it hit other competitors? Where is fair competition? ”
"Sympathize with films such as "Iron Triangle", and in the face of the hegemony of film scheduling, it is difficult to resist movies without fame."
It's noisy and noisy, and time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has passed, and at the Chinese Film Forum of the film festival, Wang Zhujiang, general manager of Huayi Brothers, unceremoniously refuted some remarks on the market against the monopoly of stone films.
"I think it's ridiculous, saying that the stone has a monopoly on the arrangement, we should first look at the quality of the stone, the reputation of the stone, and then see how much the stone has pulled up the market in the same period. To put it bluntly, even if you give up the film schedule to these movies, the market for the entire October is estimated to be 30 million. ”
"Now, the stone is not over this month, it has already won more than 100 million box office, how many records have been broken, this is a phenomenal movie. We have never monopolized the film scheduling, we just do our best, and the film scheduling is given spontaneously by the theater chain and theaters, because they make money by showing stones, and lose money by showing your films. ”
"In addition, the most ridiculous statement is that you all treat the stone as a blockbuster, but the cost of the stone is only more than five million, and the stone does not have a single A-list star as a starring role, and there are few guest stars. The biggest name of the stone is the director, but Tan Zhang is just a rookie director. The stone can explode, relying on the audience's reputation, rather than monopolizing the film arrangement. ”
"Hehe, to put it mildly, the fifth week of Stone, I'm afraid it's higher than the total box office of most domestic movies!"
As if reflecting the words of the king, in the just-concluded week of October 22 to 28, "Crazy Stone" got another 16.5 million yuan at the box office in the fifth week of its release, and although the attendance rate fell, the box office fell by only 28.3%, which was smaller than last week's decline.
is far more perfect than the box office curve of any blockbuster.
The total box office also soared to 188.8 million yuan, and one foot stepped into the threshold of 200 million box office. (To be continued.) )
PS: Lao Bai begs for monthly passes and recommended tickets! I hope that the brothers who have tickets can support them more!
