Late March 1998.

After the manuscript fee for the novel version of "Gate of Destiny" was received, the budget of the movie was also more than 345,000 yuan.

In addition, the script of "Gate of Destiny" has been continuously polished and has been unanimously recognized by everyone. Therefore, the movie started shooting according to the plan and on a later date.

However, before the filming of the movie, Wang Qinian believed that the distribution of interests must be clear. lest you hurt your feelings because of the distribution of benefits.

It is not scientific to distribute it only according to the proportion of capital contribution.

After all, although it costs money to shoot a movie, it is more important to be human. Only with the cooperation of professional and suitable people and the formation of a team can the film be made.

So, under Wang Qinian's construction, the distribution of film income is according to, Wang Qinian takes 4o%, and Hao Yi, Li Jie, and Du Jie each get 2o% of the equity.

When this distribution plan came out, everyone felt that Wang Qinian had taken too little, so they admired and thanked him even more. Because, when the distribution plan came out, everyone took more than their capital contribution ratio, except for Wang Qinian!

In other words, Wang Qinian sacrificed his own income to solve the contradictions that may arise from the internal distribution of interests.

Who feels like they're allocating less? Look at Wang Qinian, can your contribution and contribution ratio be compared with Wang Qinian? According to the normal distribution ratio, Wang Qinian takes seventy percent, which is reasonable.

Wang Qinian and everyone are investors, bosses, and they don't get paid. They take a share of the profits after the release of the movie in the future. In this way, in fact, the labor cost of several of them is saved.

As for when the movie will start, Wang Qinian also asked everyone's opinions in the spirit of democracy within the team.

"I think, how about April 1st? April Fool's Day! Others thought we were joking, but as a result, we really made a movie! Li Xie said a little excitedly.

"No, April 1st, it's too lazy!" Du Jie shook his head, "This is simply saying that our movie is an April Fool's joke." The omen is not so good! ”

"Well, I don't think it's a good omen." Wang Qinian said, "Let's choose a new date!" ”

"May 1st? Labor Day, this omen, okay?! Li Xie asked expectantly.

"That's too long!" Hao Yi shook his head.

The date was repeatedly denied, and Li Xie was a little "hit hard". Everyone pushed back and forth, and in the end, everyone unanimously said: "Brother Nian, you come to get the idea, choose the day!" ”

Wang Qinian thought for a while and said, "If I have a choice, the shooting will start on April 3!" ”

"April 3rd? Why? Everyone was puzzled.

"Newspapers!" Wang Qinian pushed the newspaper on the table to everyone and said, "Do you understand?!" ”

"On April 3, "Titanic" was screened in China on the 6th?!" When everyone saw the huge advertisement, they suddenly understood!

"Titanic" began to be released in December 97 around the world, in North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan...... This movie is invincible!

In China, due to the body shot of this film, after it was submitted for review, it was required to be deleted. So, the release of the Big 6 region was a few months later than the rest of the region.

However, there are also huge benefits to being in the late months - in the intervening months, the world's entertainment news has focused on the blockbuster "Titanic".

Many media in China are also inevitably desperately reporting on this blockbuster.

Not to mention the film industry, even ordinary people who don't watch movies, have been bombarded by the news for several months, and they also know that the Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic" is about to be released in China.

"April 3rd, it does look like a good day!" Hao Yi smiled.

"Yes, then it will be released on April 3rd!" The crowd agreed.

In this way, everyone decided to choose the time for the movie to start filming on April 3!

On April 3, 1998, "Titanic" began to land on the 6 mainland markets after sweeping the global market. This film, a film that has to be mentioned in the history of cinema at the end of the 2O century!

Because, this film not only hit the global box office of $1.845 billion, but no one has been able to break this record for many years.

Similarly, "Teknic" was released in China, and later set a record of 360 million yuan, which no one was able to break for a long time.

Moreover, the box office of this film is equivalent to one-third of the box office of Chinese films in 98, which has brought a strong psychological shock to the Chinese film industry.

It is precisely because of the god-like box office of "Titanic" that many directors have been awakened. As a result, fifth-generation directors such as Zhang Yimou , Chen Kaige and so on have gone from one extreme to another.

In the past, there was an extreme emphasis on art and winning awards. But since "Titanic", the top of the Chinese film industry has begun to pay more attention to high-grossing movies.

In order to allow domestic films to shorten the distance between them and the box office of "Titanic", China is praising Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and other big directors at any cost, so that their films, the box office number has soared again and again, and after more than ten years of hard work, the domestic box office record has finally been taken back by Chinese directors!

So, thanks to Titanic!

If it weren't for this movie, it would have shaken Chinese filmmakers. In contrast, many people are still obsessed with filmmaking, competition, and winning awards, and the wrong path is getting farther and farther, then the box office market of Chinese films will be completely monopolized by overseas blockbusters. Domestic films will not only lose their share overseas, but even the domestic market share will be monopolized by overseas blockbusters.

The film "Titanic" really shook the country and made the top management of domestic films make up their minds to make blockbusters. Some well-known directors have responded to the policy, and their goal has changed from winning awards to making blockbusters!

Of course, because of directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, they are too impatient. A few years ago, it was only a matter of making millions of literary films.

Before it was fully excessive, it began to make a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan. This resulted in early blockbusters, which made the most basic shots and stories of the movie very bad, blindly piling up special effects and big scenes.

This kind of swarming blockbuster is overkill, wasting a lot of money, and many of the movies made are criticized by the audience.

But this practice, which is commercially successful, is also a normal process of "paying tuition".

made more blockbusters, and gradually, the Chinese film industry gradually mastered the ability to make blockbusters. In the past, I didn't dare to think about comparing with overseas, but it seems that all "foreign films" are better and more interesting than those made in China, and are more popular with the audience.

But a bunch of domestic blockbusters have been made in a row, and the success at the box office has made the domestic film industry more and more confident, except for Hollywood, the films of other countries in the world seem to be inferior to our blockbusters at the box office.

This kind of self-confidence is the key!

At the end of the 9o, many filmmakers were disheartened, feeling that domestic films were not getting started, and there were a bunch of slogans such as checkmate movies. No matter how many awards are won, it will be difficult to recover the decline of the domestic box office market.

Of course, Wang Qinian also believes that the box office is the key to the film industry and the foundation of the film industry's survival.

But Wang Qinian doesn't think that only blockbusters have a box office and can make money.

In fact, the audience does not necessarily want to watch a movie with a high cost and a lot of money.

The audience doesn't really care how much money a movie costs, and even, special effects and big scenes are not the key. Just a movie that will make them find interesting will do.

If a small-budget movie can cater to the audience's interests, it can also make money, and even earn the audience's reputation!

The audience's reputation is the most precious and authoritative "award" in the film industry, which is countless times more precious and authoritative than the Golden Bear Award in Berlin and the Oscar in Hollywood!
