Chapter 625: Movie Planning
"What's the rating?" Gao Yuanyuan's expression was full of curiosity.
“3.72。” Lin Yuquan put the phone in his trouser pocket and smiled with satisfaction, only in the second episode of the program, the ratings of "The Voice of China" soared from 3.01 to 3.72 in the first episode, according to this trend, the future ratings are really unimaginable, and it is impossible to predict.
"Oh, it's so scary, this rating is just against the sky!" Gao Yuanyuan exclaimed, as an actor, he naturally pays attention to the ratings, in today's TV screens, TV episodes with ratings that can break 1 are already popular dramas, and dramas with ratings that can break 2 are definitely hot, as for ratings breaking 3, well, it is obviously the most popular drama of the year, but for "The Voice of China", this is just a starting point.
"Well, it's really rebellious, if only the TV series I starred in had such high ratings." Haiqing praised that she and Gao Yuanyuan were both invited celebrity guests of "Twelve Treasures".
"Heh, I also hope that the ratings of "Snail House" and "Daughter-in-law's Beautiful Times" you starred in can break 3, come on!" Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, after starring in "Double-sided Tape" and "Wang Gui and Anna" one after another, Haiqing has been successfully promoted to a first-line TV actress, and this year she has starred in "Snail House" and "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law", she has been regarded as the core competitiveness in the field of TV dramas within Shuguang Film, and even surpasses Dandan and Yanzi in the TV field alone, and Shi Shi and Jiang Wenli stand tall and strong.
"It's not something I can do with my energy, but I'm definitely going to do my best. Do your own thing. Haiqing smiled.
Lin Yuquan's eyes were full of appreciation, Haiqing was the kind of pure actor he admired the most, and he was low-key. In addition to life, she devotes herself to acting, and she has also reached an amazing point in the role type of daughter-in-law with urban family themes, if it were not for the restricted image conditions and her age, she could win a broad sky in the film field with her acting skills.
"Just work hard, the scripts of "Snail House" and "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" are good, and I don't know if the ratings will break 3. But there's every chance to break 2. ”
After a short break, the filming of "Twelve Treasures" continued.
Without too much attention from Lin Yuquan, "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's global box office journey never stops. The clock was fast approaching July 20th.
On the latest box office charts, "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince grossed $79.63 million over three days over the weekend, beating Ice Age 3 to the top of the charts without any suspense, along with the previous two days. The cumulative box office in the five days of release was $160.1 million. Again surpassing Harry. Potter and the Order of the Phoenix became the best in the series, but that result was undoubtedly a far cry from the previous Transformers 2, which also premiered on Wednesday.
It is gratifying that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" continued the strong overseas market attraction of the previous game in the series, and swept $239 million in 86 countries and regions in the overseas market in a short period of time, breaking the box office record of $235 million set by "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" last year.
This also makes "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed 399 million at the global box office in a single week, once again breaking the global box office record of $392 million set by "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" in a single week of debut.
When he saw this data, Lin Yuquan was full of smiles. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince can maintain a good box office trend, not to mention breaking $1 billion at the global box office. $1.2 billion would also be easy, but barring an incredible story episode. Otherwise, Harry. It is difficult for Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to make a big breakthrough at the box office, and it is difficult to have a strong impact on the new films released this week.
Of course, what makes Lin Yuquan even happier is that six weeks later, the North American box office of "Immediate Rescue" has reached 341 million US dollars, and the global box office has finally exceeded the 1 billion US dollar mark, reaching 1.003 billion US dollars, and is expected to end at around 1.06 billion US dollars, which has far exceeded the initial expected box office of Shuguang Films and Summit Entertainment, and for a Chinese-language film, it can be called shocking.
At the same time, Lin Yuquan also received another invitation from Time Magazine to appear on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, and the other party even told him the title, called "The Man Who Changed the Pattern of Asian Films", which is very vulgar but also very domineering.
However, neither the box office success of "Immediate Rescue" nor the invitation of Time magazine caught his attention slightly, but there were too many other things that involved his attention.
Let's take a look at the schedule, on July 22, "Beautiful Creatures" and "Edgar's Story" will be the first to be published; On July 24, "The Hangover" will be released worldwide; On August 5, he went to Hangzhou to visit the instructor of "The Voice of China" to assess the battle in the ring; On August 12, Host and The Hunger Games will be published together.
At the same time, he is also busy with the filming of "Twelve Treasures", the preparation for the start of filming of "Wild Story: Battle of the Hundred Clans", the post-production of "Immortals", and the company affairs that may arise at any time waiting for him to deal with.
Well, Lin Yuquan can't wait for himself to know how to do the doppelganger technique.
Of course, such a busy and painful situation is obviously also happy, for example, he finally waited for the script tentatively titled "Bloody Battle Changle Village".
Since it is a World War II war movie with the possibility of international distribution, the script of "Bloody Battle of Changle Village" is created in strict accordance with his ideas, not only to highlight the excitement of the plot, the shock of the war scenes, the courage and tenacity of the Eighth Route Army, but also to have anti-war and human thoughts.
After carefully reading the script of "Bloody Battle of Changle Village", Lin Yuquan showed a satisfied smile, limited screenwriting strength and the review of the Film Bureau, compared with classic war movies like "Saving Private Ryan", "Bloody Battle of Changle Village" is naturally inferior, but looking at many domestic World War II war movies, "Bloody Battle of Changle Village" is absolutely unprecedented.
After being satisfied, Lin Yuquan of course dialed Qiu Qingyi's phone.
"Tsing Yi, what is your plan for the movie "Bloody Battle of Changle Village"? Who will direct? Who are the main actors? What is the budget? Lin Yuquan asked again and again.
"Director's words, I tend to Feng Xiaoning, Guan Hu, Zhang Li, Feng Xiaoning is considered by many war film fans to be the best director to make war movies in China, his early movies "War Meridian", "Red River Valley", "Purple Sun" at that time, under the investment of funds, can definitely be regarded as magnificent, the scene is spectacular, Guan Hu is an out-and-out ghost director, although he has not made a movie for a long time in the past, but his "Bullfight" shot last year is a rare good Chinese film, Zhang Li also did not make a movie for a long time, But he has been very successful in the field of TV drama in the past few years, and he is not only good at shooting war scenes, but also involved in the shooting of many excellent films. ”
"In terms of starring, it is mainly selected from the artists in our Yuquan family, in general, the remuneration of actors will be strictly controlled, and strive to invest mainly in film shooting and special effects production, because there are many war scenes in "Blood Battle Changle Village", and it is also ready to be made into a 3D version, and the goal is international distribution, and the investment budget is expected to be no less than 250 million." Qiu Qingyi said slowly.
"That's it!" Lin Yuquan's left hand tapped his thigh rhythmically, and his mind turned quickly: "In terms of directors, you make an appointment with Guan Hu and Director Zhang Li to see who is more suitable for directing, Director Feng Xiaoning forget it, his film level has been regressing over the years, and movies such as "Purple Sun", the atmosphere and scenes are good, and there are many loopholes in the details, I don't like a Chinese war masterpiece that has been painstakingly brewed is becoming a game for everyone to find fault." The cast and budget, after the director is decided, you will report it to me. ”
"Okay boss." Qiu Qingyi nodded.
"Tsing Yi, who do you think will be better in our film or the "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" that director Zhang Yi is preparing?" Lin Yuquan asked on a whim.
"Well, how to put it, I believe it will be our movie." Qiu Qingyi groaned slightly.
"Oh, why do you think so?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile in his eyes.
"It's very simple, Zhang Weiping is not a good filmmaker, his commercial attributes are too strong, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is expected to be like "Hero", "The City is Full of Golden Armor" and other films, the main investment budget is spent on actors' salaries, film shooting and special effects costs are not comparable to ours, and then Director Zhang is carrying too heavy a burden on his body, what he wants to make is definitely not a simple commercial war movie, but a film with profound thoughts, but that is obviously not easy, too high requirements will hinder the expression of the film, in contrastOur goal is very clear, on the basis of a certain anti-war ideology, to make war movies wonderful and good-looking. Qiu Qingyi said with a smile.
Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head again, hoping that Lao Zhang could clarify what kind of movie he wanted and what kind of movie he could make, otherwise disaster would happen. (To be continued.) )
