January 1, 2002, the Chinese New Year stall of the Chinese Film Market. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info was supposed to be a special show of Feng Xiaogang's "Big Names", but because "Big Names" had already been released more than half a year in advance, they were absent from the New Year's file.
Therefore, the 2002 Chinese New Year file has become the ring of two youth song and dance movies!
"Two tickets to the "Youth Musical" movie!"
"Sold out, wait for tomorrow!"
"Then 'The Next Superstar' will do the same!"
"Sold out too!"
"Damn, what the hell?"
This is the current market of the movie theater line market in BJ City, and countless fans are rushing into the cinema for these two youth song and dance movies.
Two movies have monopolized 70 theater shows! And the focus of the market is basically focused on these two movies.
As for several domestic films released at the same time, such as "Flower Eyes", "Wang Zhongzhong", "Glass Love", "Absolute Emotion", etc., just listen to the names, you know that they are all going to hit the street.
In fact, not only a group of domestic films that were already on the street are also hitting the streets, but even the Hollywood blockbusters "Shrek" and "Jurassic Park 3" released at the same time are mediocre at the box office.
Among them, "Shrek" had a bad year, with a box office of only 300,000 yuan on the first day in the Chinese market.
The box office of "Jurassic Park 3" on the first day was only in the early 800,000s, and it was not even one million at the box office. This is mainly because the first two "Jurassic" have tired the audience. The same trick, filmed three times, lost the suspense and gimmick at the beginning, and the audience may not buy it.
As for the popularity of "Youth Musical" and "The Next Superstar", this is mainly down-to-earth and caters to the market demand of young audiences. Many young viewers don't necessarily have to watch blockbusters. Some of the movies they admire, or resonate with, can also touch people's hearts.
It's a pity that in the current film market, directors are too old and rarely consider the preferences of young people now. Therefore, I often make some inexplicable films, and the audience, mainly young people, does not like it at all.
Hollywood's success in the Chinese market is actually due to the success of competing for the youth audience market! Many old domestic directors disdain - what is the great deal about making childish films for young people!
The question is, how many of the elderly go to the cinema to watch a movie? In the 100 years since the birth of the film industry, young audiences have always been the mainstay. If you don't even know this, the film you shoot will naturally be unpleasant!
The popularity of "Youth Musical" and "The Next Superstar" is, in essence, also because of young people and the world of the box office market.
……
Compared with Hollywood blockbusters, the two domestic films "Youth Musical" and "The Next King" that became popular this year are not expensive.
The production cost of "Youth Musical" is 7 million yuan, and the production cost of "The Next Superstar" is as high as 20 million yuan.
The success of these two films is actually not a piling cost!
The more core competitiveness comes from creativity, or the box office appeal of idols!
Of course, although the themes of the two films are similar, the audience's viewing experience is completely different!
According to the perception of professional filmmakers or neutral audiences, the quality of the movie "Youth Musical" may be better. If this film wins the box office championship, it is more in line with the analysis of film industry insiders.
But many young people have idolatry episodes. Many people have listened to Jay Chou's songs, and they are very fans of Jay Chou. Because of his songs, he went to the cinema to watch movies. After watching it, I talked to more people that Jay Chou's movie was made well, so it attracted more Jay Chou fans to go to the cinema one after another. Therefore, the box office of "The Next Superstar" is completely unreasonable and cannot be judged by the common sense of the film industry.
Wang Qinian is a director because of the route he takes!
Although, the director also has fans, but after all, it is not like idol stars, who can have more blind fans!
Therefore, the word-of-mouth effect of "Youth Musical" is relatively mild, unlike the wildfire that is raging in "The Next Superstar", which generally spreads among Jay Chou's fan base.
……
"It's out! The box office of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" on the first day was 5.39 million yuan! In BJ City alone, the box office exceeded 3 million on the first day! is about to set a new high at the box office of domestic films! ”
"It's amazing, it's worthy of Wang Qinian's film!"
"The quality of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is first-class, Wang Qinian has never disappointed fans, such a box office is well deserved!"
The box office data of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is released on the first day!
All of a sudden, it shook the entire entertainment circle in Beijing, and even overseas media were reporting the news. As long as you are a person who pays more attention to the Chinese film industry, it is not enough to know Zhang Yimou, you must know at least one person - Wang Qinian!
Perhaps, Wang Qinian's qualifications in the film industry are not enough, and his artistic achievements have not yet been recognized!
But in addition to winning awards and ranking seniors, there is another way for movies to prove themselves - box office!
Perhaps, this way, a bit like an outbreak!
Compared with the traditional award-winning directors, it's a bit cheesy!
But nowadays, the audience is more and more recognized by high-box office film directors!
The audience has watched a lot of past films of a certain director, and then refer to the past box office. It's easy, remember this director, and in the future, when you look at this familiar director and make a new film, it will be easier to buy it.
The success of Wang Qinian's "Youth Singing and Dancing" is also the foundation for many of his past films, so the audience has confidence in his movies!
However, after the box office data of "Youth Musical" came out.
Soon, the data that shook the entertainment industry was released.
"Jay Chou starred in the first movie "The Next Superstar" with a box office of 9.88 million on the first day! It is only one step away from the box office of 10 million! ”
"The Next Superstar" beat "Youth Musical" and won the box office champion on New Year's Day!"
"Jay Chou fans and fans say that "The Next Superstar" is the coolest movie ever!"
"Senior film critics said that they can't understand "The Next Superstar" at all, but they will try to understand and accept it."
"If you don't understand "The Next Superstar", you don't understand today's young people."
Obviously, the box office of Jay Chou's "The Next Superstar" has made industry insiders fall off their glasses! The singer went to film, and there were a bunch of people on the street!
For example, Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung have also made film and television works, but the box office appeal is also average. cross-border filming, if you want to kill both the film and music worlds, in fact, it is very difficult.
Andy Lau is killed in both the music and film worlds, which in itself is a rare wonder.
And Jay Chou's first movie is actually ...... is so popular, and when many viewers don't understand it at all, it is really surprising to set such an amazing box office!
……
After the fire of "The Next Superstar", the media's attention to Xu Shanshan also heated up rapidly.
Regarding the grievances between Xu Shanshan and Wang Qinian, they have also been reported.
This news reached Wang Qinian's home, and it also caused a fire in his backyard!
"Brother Nian, I didn't expect that your old lover will never forget you!" As soon as I entered the door, the atmosphere in the house was not right.
"How is it possible, I don't know her at all!" Wang Qinian's scalp was numb and explained.
"Then you tell me in detail, your past!"
"Well, I really don't have anything to do with her! Originally, Xu Shanshan was a good student, and I was a student with average grades. We weren't in the same class at all, and we hadn't met much before. It's just that before the college entrance examination, I thought to myself, I have to work hard! As a result, his grades got better and better, and he surpassed Xu Shanshan, who was the first in the grade. Then, Xu Shanshan ran to me inexplicably and wanted to compare the college entrance examination scores with me. Well, in the college entrance examination, I was a few tens higher than her, the first in the city. Then, I offended Xu Shanshan inexplicably! When I was in college, I was Beiying, she was from Peking University, and she was not in the same school at all. Who knows, this Xu Shanshan suddenly appeared again, and she has to compare with me? You say I'm not wronged! ”
"From a psychological point of view, it is possible that love arises because of hate, and because love is rejected, it hates even more!" Xiao Xiang suddenly became interested and said, "Li Mochou in Jin Yong's novel is such a woman. ”
"Li Mochou, don't scare me!" Wang Qinian was obviously taken aback.
In terms of business struggles, Wang Qinian is not afraid at all. A person like him, as long as he still has a little capital in his hand, can easily make a comeback.
And now at most, the limelight has been temporarily robbed by the opponent, which is far from exhaustive!
The film and television industry!
Even if he is the king of the box office, Cameron does not win the box office in every movie. But "Titanic" alone is enough for him to reach the top and be worshiped by directors all over the world.
The hegemon of the entertainment industry often does not monopolize the box office champion every year. The major first-line film and television companies take turns to sit in the village, you are the champion this year, I am the champion next year, and a heart company may emerge from the year after tomorrow and take away the championship!
The film and television industry of various countries, unless a company has formed a monopoly. Otherwise, the box office champion is really not so easy to monopolize.
Besides, even if the New Year stalls at the beginning of the year are in the limelight and leading at the box office, it is estimated that they will not be able to win the championship in 2002!
Because, at the end of 2002, there was a god-like blockbuster - "Hero"!
With a budget of $30 million, Zhang Yimou's largest commercial blockbuster in history, the whole country, the media and theaters are fully supporting, who can compete with it?
It is precisely because of the thorough reading that Wang Qinian's mentality is relatively calm, and it really doesn't matter if he wins the championship now or not. As long as we continue to accumulate the strength of the company's capital, technology and talents. After all, one day, I can once again laugh at the film and television industry and reach the top of the ticket sellers!
In the future, the Chinese film and television industry, breaking box office records, will take turns to be the banker. A director with a level of capital strength is abundant, and if he chooses the right script and theme, he has the hope of breaking the box office record!
Of course, not afraid of business battles!
If she encounters a madman like Li Mochou, the law can't stop her, and that's an unsolvable desperate situation!
Wang Qinian thought about it, whether the security in the house should be raised by a few grades.
Dig up some retired cops to come and be bodyguards?
Well, a policewoman is the best, she has a relatively gentle personality, and she can help with some housework, which can also be used as a condition! In this way, it will be more harmonious to get along with the family members at home.
Of course, it's better to have a higher appearance, and by the way, you can also go to the movie of your partner's company and make a cameo star!
Thinking of this, Wang Qinian admired his mind more and more.
Even if you hire a bodyguard, you have to kill multiple birds with one stone!
Wang Qinian is also resolute, he does it when he thinks of it, and after discussing it with his family, he began to contact a professional private bodyguard company.
Wang Qinian offered an annual salary of 100,000 yuan as a condition to hire 4 bodyguards - two men and two women!
Two female bodyguards protect their relatives at home.
In addition, the male bodyguard who hired two part-time drivers was a veteran, and he had even defended senior chiefs in the past, and had rich experience as a bodyguard.
Of course, I hired 4 bodyguards, and my salary alone would support 400,000 yuan a year. In addition, other miscellaneous expenses are expected to cost millions a year.
is so extravagant and wasteful, and the family members have more opinions.
However, Wang Qinian explained: "How can I trade at a loss? Hire a bodyguard, or collect materials to create a bodyguard-related script! ”
This convincing reason made the family agree!
After all, it is possible for Wang Qinian's movie to earn ten times the cost of hiring bodyguards! r1152
