Chapter 75: Where is the Root?
After Christmas, a week later, New Year's Day will be celebrated, and the year 2007 will begin.
In more than three months, it will be the third anniversary of Lin Feihong's rebirth in this world, three years, not long, not short.
It's New Year's Eve, what did I do? And what do you get? What to lose?
Whenever it enters New Year's Day and New Year's Eve, Lin Feihong's mood is not much excited, and he often asks himself like this.
Usually there is no answer to this question, because Lin Feihong himself feels that he has been very confused for a year.
It's been like this for three years, although I'm busy, although I'm all running, but at the end of the year, I'm confused, although this year has been quite fruitful, at least "People in Embarrassment" was successfully released, and at least it has earned more than two million back.
But Lin Feihong just couldn't be happy, perhaps because every New Year's Eve, he was very touched, and he was a little sad or longing, which made him unable to be excited.
Lin Feihong, like everyone else, is summing up the experience of this year and deploying plans for the future, and looking forward to the future... To be precise, the whole country is summarizing and celebrating the New Year's Eve, and all TV stations and programs are holding New Year's Eve parties.
All kinds of stars and celebrities gathered on the stage to show their style, show their talents, and spend New Year's Eve together.
Every year's New Year's Eve party is the same, either dancing, singing, or sketches, there are no new tricks, but the ratings are getting higher and higher year by year, because of the celebrity effect, because the audience has become accustomed to this phenomenon, and feels that it is a loss not to watch it.
Although Lin Feihong didn't want to watch it, he didn't know what to do after eating with Andy Lau and other friends, it seemed that watching the New Year's Eve party was a must-do.
He is also watching, and now he and his friends are watching the CCTV gala.
The eight people watched it for about half an hour, and they felt very boring, because in addition to singing and dancing, the party also did some funny plots that only the host himself thought was funny... So, tune to another channel: the movie channel.
Tonight's movie channel isn't showing a movie as usual, it's doing an interview.
The screen shows Yang Lan, a well-known supporter, interviewing a middle-aged man, and the two are sitting sideways, facing the camera.
"President Wa?" When she saw this picture, Wang Rong suddenly screamed.
Everyone looked at her inexplicably, as if asking Wang Rong: What will you look like.
Wang Rong seemed to see everyone's doubts, hurriedly pointed to the TV, and said hurriedly: "The person next to Yang Lan is the chairman of the Tuku.com Film and Television Works Review Committee. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and carefully looked at the subtitles below the middle-aged man, there are indeed two words, and there are also notes: Tuku.com Film and Television Works Review Committee.
It is a program related to their own industry, and suddenly everyone was interested and watched it seriously, but it was a pity that the little girl suffered, she still prefers the New Year's Eve party, the child only knows that it is lively and fun, and feels that the party is much more fun than the movie channel where the two talk.
The little girl didn't make trouble, and was very well-behaved and played with the rag doll in her hand in Su Yawen's arms.
"A week ago, that is, on Christmas Day, the five major theaters across the country released several Tuku.com movies, and now a week has passed, I don't know how these movies have performed this year, can President Wu easily reveal the inside story?" Yang Lan smiled politely and said to the righteous way.
"Convenient." Wu Zheng nodded, "So far, the results are quite optimistic, whether it is the movies of emerging directors or the movies of big-name directors and stars, the results are not bad, compared with previous years, although there is no significant increase, there is no decline." ”
"That's basically it."
"Well, the growth rate is about 2%, but the good news is that this year's emerging works are relatively good, and the response is quite good, especially "People in Embarrassment", which has reached more than 3 million at the box office this week."
"More than three million? That's an all-time high. ”
"Yes, other emerging movies are only about 1 million, and none of them can reach the box office of 1.5 million, and the box office of those famous directors' movies is almost more than 10 million this week, the highest box office is only 12 million, and the low 8 million are available."
“······”
When he heard the words three million, Lin Feihong's vision was blurred, and his thoughts flew nine days away.
He wasn't happy, on the contrary, he was frustrated.
Million? In his previous life, Ye Weiming's masterpiece "People in Embarrassment" was only 3 million in the first week of its release? Joke!
At least more than 10 million, 3 million, right? It's really hurtful, if Ye Weiming knows that the results of his masterpiece are like this, then he still doesn't wipe his neck?
I remember that in my previous life, the box office of this movie reached more than 30 million in just three weeks after its release, and now it is only 3 million in the first week.
Why does "People in Embarrassment" have such achievements now?
Is it because of his lack of fame? Joke! Was Ye Weiming famous in his previous life? Not at all! At least no one knew about it until "People in Embarrassment" was filmed.
It seems that fame is not an important reason for the low box office of "People in Embarrassment", a good movie will always be watched, even if you are very famous, if the quality of the movie is not good, it is strange if it is not complained about.
Lin Feihong believes very much in the quality of "People in Embarrassment", and the current low box office compared to the previous life is not the reason for the quality.
Looking at the works of big directors this time, the first week of premiere was only more than 10 million, and the movies of those big directors in the previous life were common for tens of millions to be released, and a few weeks later it soared to hundreds of millions. is like "Thai Embarrassment", which reached the box office of 1.3 billion in less than a month... This is something that cannot be achieved in this world. Lin Feihong now knows that the box office in this world is generally so low, if he doesn't experience it now, I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the market, and he didn't know much about the film market in this world before he was running for the future of "People in Embarrassment".
Why is there such a big gap?
It's not a problem of the quality of the work, nor is it a problem of lack of fame, so where is the real root?
There is nothing else, it is a system problem, whether it is a famous director, a famous screenwriter, or a big-name star's work, or a new novice work, the results are generally very low, at least lower than Lin Feihong's previous life, and it is not a little lower... All of this is largely due to the huge loopholes in the current system of Tuku.com.
Tuku.com now adopts the process of uploading scripts, signing contracts, investing in films, and releasing films, which is very innovative, but this process directly leads to a general decrease in the box office.
This kind of investment method is very advantageous for new screenwriters and new directors, because this kind of investment does not cost investors much money, at most it is to spend some time and energy, and there is no too high threshold. It's a great way to attract newcomers, which is a good thing.
For directors or screenwriters who have a certain reputation, this type of investment does not have many advantages for them. Although Tuku.com later adopted relaxation measures for famous directors and screenwriters to omit uploading scripts and then signing contracts to make films, it still could not change the advantages of these celebrities, at most, it was to omit a link, and there was no need for editors to review the script, as if there was less foreplay between men and women.
If Tuku.com is a well-known director and screenwriter, the screenwriter can also save the online sales, then these well-known directors and screenwriters will be far more powerful than the directors in the previous life.
Now that's where the problem arises.;
