Chapter 599: Competing for the New Year

The term Chinese New Year film was introduced to the mainland from Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong. Since the 80s of the last century, at the end of each year, Hong Kong performing arts stars will make several lively and joyful films to dedicate to the audience. What people pursue at the end of the year is relaxation, pleasure, joy and peace; The second is to have a relatively happy ending. When it spread to the mainland, it changed little by little.

The originator of the Chinese New Year file in the mainland should be the famous director Feng Xiaogang, and it has been almost exactly ten years now. 1997's "Party A and Party B" kicked off the comedy New Year, and then at the end of every year, Feng Xiaogang would shoot a movie.

In 2002, another heavyweight Zhang Yimou appeared on the stage with "Hero", which started the era of costume blockbusters, and at the same time opened the throat of the people's scolding; In 2003, Feng Ye continued "Mobile Phone"; In 2004, "No Thieves in the World" and Xing Ye's "Kung Fu" joined hands and made a lot of money; In 2005, the philosophical director Chen Kaige was scolded for his death with a huge lineup of invincible Chinese and foreign "Wuji", and the film became a luxurious and luxurious version of Hu Ge's "Blood Steamed Bun"; In 2006, the golden white flowers of "The City is Full of Golden Armor...... There are many other small productions that come to get a piece of the pie, and almost no one remembers.

For a whole decade, countless movies entered the market and began the process of grabbing money, and countless audiences took out the money in their pockets to make a huge contribution to the box office of these movies.

Now, on the occasion of the tenth year, another large number of Chinese New Year films have begun to be intensively promoted, striving for a share of the huge film market.

Yang Lin is also one of the beneficiaries of the Chinese New Year film, when he first debuted, he filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I", followed by "No Thieves in the World" directed by Feng Xiaogang.

In fact, if you want to count it, "No Thieves in the World" can be regarded as Yang Lin's debut. Because of this movie, Yang Lin officially appeared in front of the audience, letting everyone know that there is such a person.

And then "Baby Project" and "The Great Sage of Love" are all works of Yang Lin's impact on the Lunar New Year file, he is not only the overlord of the summer file, but even the New Year file can often see him.

With the help of the now popular Voice of China and its own trailer, "Old Boy" has not yet launched the strongest promotional campaign. This movie has already become a complete hit.

And the rest of the movies are not weak, Ge You, who is known as the box office guarantee, has now become a sought-after figure in the Lunar New Year file, although there is no point where three blockbusters in later generations were released together to compete for the box office, he also has two movies in the account this year.

"Fate Call Transfer", directed by Liu Yiwei and starring Ge You and Fan Bingbing, will be released nationwide this year, that is, on November 29, 2007. kicked off this year's Chinese New Year stalls.

Also released at the same time is "Apple", how Fan Bingbing was and abused in the movie and the deletion of the film has been boiling and successful, but it doesn't seem to be a happy subject. should have wanted to make a quick decision before the real Chinese New Year, and came together with "Call of Life", so I had to enter the schedule and want to get a little bit of the box office.

For "Old Boy" starring Yang Lin. Its biggest enemy in the Lunar New Year file is not "Fate Call Transfer", but the only costume blockbuster "Casting Names" this year.

Chen Kexin + Jet Li + Andy Lau + Takeshi Kaneshiro + Xu Jinglei = The box office is red, everything is very "big", the quality should be the most guaranteed among the strong, and the people's expectations are the highest. But it means that it may also get the most scolding.

The costume blockbuster will be officially released to audiences on December 13, and it will face a strong sniping from "Old Boy" just a few days after its screening, and it is still unknown who will win and lose at the box office.

The release date of "Oldboy" has been finalized, December 17. Now the movie is less than a month away, and the publicity is kicking in, and the theatrical copy is in good shape.

With the name of Yang Lin. This small-budget movie with an investment of less than 10 million should not be a problem with a box office of over 100 million, although everyone has a certain understanding of box office appeal, but Yang Lin's ability is obvious to all.

The only famous person in this movie is Xu Zheng. But he has been in the TV circle before, and it is still unknown whether this film debut will be an instant hit. So this movie can be said to be supported by Yang Lin alone.

Even if Li Junxiao once directed a movie with a box office of more than 100 million, his real reputation is not big, and few people may know him at all.

Yang Lin's reputation is a strong guarantee, and this movie that is mainly warm, funny and a little nostalgic will be the only light comedy in the Chinese New Year file, which is more suitable for couples or friends to watch.

Meanwhile. The large-scale military film "Assembly" released on December 20 should not be underestimated, starring a series of stars such as Huayi Brothers Investment, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Hanyu, Ren Quan, Deng Chao, and Hu Jun. The gimmick is powerful.

Feng Xiaogang is back in the Lunar New Year file again, this time bringing his first war film, Feng Xiaogang, who has never made a large-scale movie, lacks a star for the New Year's film, what kind of work will Director Feng bring to the audience that is out of the comedy route?

These are all places to attract the attention of the audience and buy tickets, and I have to say that Feng Xiaogang has become an iconic figure in the mainland Chinese New Year stalls.

And the movies competing for the Spring Festival schedule are not weak, not to mention imported blockbusters, but Stephen Chow, who has not had a new work since "Kung Fu", will also bring a new work "Yangtze River No. 7" on January 30, 2008, starring Zhou Jienon, Cai Zhuoyan and Wu Mengda "Slam Dunk" is also a strong contender at the box office.

Every year, the Chinese New Year stalls are a war without artillery fire and gunsmoke, and it is unknown who will be the winner and who will have the last laugh.

Aside from domestic films, the wonderful sci-fi zombie movie "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith will also be released on December 19. It was released in North America on December 14, 2007. One man and one dog, surviving in a city full of zombies and looking for an antidote, such a hero complex has always been a lucky star at the box office.

"National Treasure 2" will also be led by Nicolas Cage to grab the Chinese box office, released on December 21. It will inevitably be a scene of dragon fighting, and all the film critics can't wait.

In just a few days, several top domestic films are about to compete with Hollywood blockbusters that should not be underestimated, and the audience is feasting their eyes. However, for Firefly Company, the most important thing now is to master its own theater chain and strive to invest in its own theater chain.

The movie has been edited out and passed the review of the General Administration of Radio~Television~, but it has encountered a lot of trouble in distribution, and many theaters are thinking about raising prices and increasing some more shares.

"No! It is impossible to change the account sharing ratio for the time being, and if anyone disagrees, then there is no need to copy it. I'm confident that this movie will explode, and someone will definitely come to your door to ask you to raise the price. ”

Yang Lin slapped the table fiercely, he was a little angry. If you don't have your own theater, you will suffer a lot, and many times you will be held hostage by these projectors, and if you don't want to solve it, this matter will affect the box office of the movie.

It's impossible, the movie is released, but there are not many theaters showing it, even if the audience is enthusiastic, they can only throw themselves into the arms of the rest of the movies.

At this time, Yang Lin was discussing with Yang Fan, his face was angry, his shiny hair was shining, and he looked like an angry leopard.

"You can't do this thing anyway, that's the bottom line! And they don't pick others, they choose our company without any cinemas. Just put aside the theater chain that bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, don't promise or refuse. To put it mildly, if we do it, we will be a bird and will become a thorn in the side of the rest of the film companies. ”

Yang Fan tugged at the tie around his neck, a little helpless, and a little anxious and said: "The key to the problem now is that the construction of the cinema is not a matter of one or two days, and this investment must be long-lasting, and it will not work for ten or eight years if you want to get back the cost." ”

This is not something that Yang Lin has to care about, he stood up, held his mobile phone and continued: "That's true." However, the money should still be spent, and I will ask my personal financial assistant Wang Hongyi to allocate another 200 million to you after a while, so that you can invest in the theater. In fact, there is no need for us to rebuild, just buy some small ones. ”

Yang Lin is now a big family, and he is not short of money at all. All kinds of dividends, advertising endorsement fees, remuneration and investment money, personal assets have reached 500 million yuan. Although a lot of them have been invested in film companies, he is not unprepared.

Yang Fan knew that Yang Lin was rich, but he didn't expect to say 200 million lightly, which is not a small number.

"The investment of 200 million yuan is only the first step, I will gradually increase the investment, after all, on average, 200 million can't buy a few movie theaters. My goal is to build a cinema chain on par with Wanda, can you help me? ”

His ambitions are very big, Wanda cinemas are all over the country, and there are Wanda cinemas in many third-tier small cities, and this distribution can be imagined.

However, building his own cinema chain is not something that can be successful overnight, this is a long-term project, and Yang Lin can't count on it now.

Putting down the phone, Yang Lin looked at the café he was in, and the staff around him who were busy placing props, and he looked at the location of Spielberg and Harrison Ford.
