Chapter 625: Cinemas and Others
The event lasted five days and ended on April 21.
The company basically no longer participates in the competition of trade fairs, giving peers more room to choose, so on the last day, none of the scripts were selected by the company.
But there are two exceptions, one is Guan Hu, he directly found Chu Qing and handed over the book of "Bullfighting". The two chatted for more than ten minutes before the project was decided, and by the way, the protagonist was confirmed, Huang Bo.
The other is called Yang Shupeng, this person used to work at CCTV, and recently came out to work alone, he doesn't know Chu Qing, but he knows Guan Hu. The stupid big man didn't know if it was really lacking or deliberate, so Baba brought it.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qing finished reading the script called "Bitter Bamboo Forest" all night, and it was amazing. The display of this kind of story line, the use of conflict techniques, and the courage to borrow from the past and the present are not what current domestic directors can have.
So, the stinky problem of that thing was committed again, and I wanted to shoot it when I saw a good script. But the company has just adjusted its course and is cautious about investing in art films, and he is not too capricious as a boss.
Master Fan even knew how many hairs he had on his body, and when he saw the girl pretending to sigh, he waved his little hand: Roll on, don't take an example!
So far, the company's projects this year have been established: three TV series "Step by Step", "Lonely Empty Garden", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", three movies "Wulin Gaiden", "Bullfighting" and "Bitter Bamboo Forest".
It's a big deal again, but the industry has become accustomed to their surprise and gossip under pressure.
It is said that this year's market competition will be more intense, and the big productions that can be called film tyrants in the past include "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "Yangtze River No. 7", "The King of Kung Fu", there are as many as five, not to mention the hard small and medium-sized costs.
"Yangtze River No. 7" was released in January and won 203 million box office. The rest, except for "The King of Kung Fu", which was released on April 24, the other three are all aimed at the Chinese New Year. And the Lunar New Year stalls have always been Feng Xiaogang's world. Last year, even though "Vote for the Name" blocked it, it still lost to "Assembly Number".
Feng Xiaogang + Uncle Ge + any female star VS Xu Lao Wei + the positive hard anus of the trio, what the result is, it is really unknown.
To be honest, the company lacks experience in the operation of commercial blockbusters, and does not dare to slack off. Led by Sister Wang and Yang Fan, they are already working on the publicity and distribution plan of "Painted Skin", and there are four backup plans alone. Publicity aside, the distribution must borrow from PropNex's channels, plus the company's own resources. Enough to roll out in theaters across the country.
In fact, when I had a meeting before, someone inadvertently mentioned: Now that the market is so vigorous and the number of theaters is doubling, can we build a theater chain?
Not to mention, Chu Qingzhen took it to heart, and when he went back, he asked around to find out the inside story.
Before 1993, the works of 16 film studios across the country were exclusively distributed by China Film. 93 years later. China Film's power is broken down, and the studios have direct access to the provincial film companies representing theaters in various regions, but these companies are all state-owned enterprises and still have local monopolies.
To put it simply. It is from the central monopoly to the local monopoly. It was not until the 2002 system reform that the theater was connected with the market. It is precisely because of these historical problems that Chinese cinema chains have grown rapidly in an unscientific and unchangeable model.
If subdivided. There are about four categories.
The first category belongs to the real estate department, represented by Wanda. People have commercial plazas, and if they build one, they will bring their own cinema. can truly achieve a unified brand, unified film scheduling, unified operation, and unified management, and the control of the theater is also the absolute NO.1.
The second category belongs to the state-owned enterprise system, represented by the above* Hailianhe. They are all restructured and converted by provincial and municipal film companies, absorbing a large number of original theaters, and have a strong monopoly in the local area. However, due to the form of franchise, the control of the theater is weak, and the equipment is relatively old.
The third category belongs to the rural system, where a number of retail investors are united, with two or three cities, and even small counties as the main offensive positions, with a long-term vision, but limited by the environment, and have not yet seen results.
The fourth category belongs to the Chinese film system, which is represented by the beauty of Chinese film stars. The approximate model is: China Film cooperates with various private companies, one asks for money, the other asks for government resources, and benefits each other.
From this point of view, if the two of us want to be a theater chain, we can only choose the fourth option, that is, to cooperate with China Film and absorb theaters to join. Joining does not cost money, the size of the site, the decoration style, the quality of the equipment, some are unified specifications, and some are handled by themselves. But you, as an investor and manager, always have your own main theater, commonly known as the "faucet." ”
Then the question arises, how much does it cost to build a high-end theater with a superior geographical location, excellent environment, top-level equipment, and at least six or more halls?
The investment is large, the return is slow, and this alone can consume the company. The two of them are very good in the production industry, but if they really want to play with those big capitals, they are scum.
So he pondered, hehe, let's wash and sleep.
…………
In the afternoon, the residence.
"Welcome to Bei*Jing and share breathing ...... under the sun"
"Poof! Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”
Zhao Liying, who was drinking water, almost choked to death, relieved her breath a little, and immediately shouted: "Come here quickly, my God!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Master Liu ran out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped, and saw her pointing to the TV and said, "Oh, it's over, you wait a while!" ”
The girl didn't know why, so she waited for more than two minutes, and the hundred or so stars flashed like water, and finally came to the chorus part: "Welcome to Bei*Beijing, everyone with a dream is amazing......"
"Mom!"
Liu Dudu looked at the teacher he admired and admired, and compared with the stupid lack in a broken courtyard, the girl's heart was simply broken.
The song "Welcome to Beijing" took more than a month from the idea to the completion of the production in early March. A few days ago, the MV was officially released, and the two girls only have time to see it today.
Although they are not very old, they fully feel the essence of the phrase "live for a long time". The teacher is singing, or is he singing on TV, or is it an Olympic propaganda song!
This makes them extremely entangled, and they don't know how to express their inner complaints and desires. Who knows, in other places in the capital, such as Zhou Gongzi's family, Tang Wei's family, Xiaochu's family, and Liu Ye's family, they have already rehearsed it.
Even Zhou Gongzi fell on the bed, clenching his little fists and banging all kinds of thumping. There is no way, even if there is a strong level of sound repair and production, Chu Qing's angry music cell is still extremely popular.
After all, Master Liu didn't want to say bad things about him, so he forced himself to wash his hair, and when he came out, Zhao Liying had already changed her shirt and jeans, and said, "Where will you eat later?" ”
"I don't have anything to eat, you can do it." She was blowing her hair.
"Well, let's eat a big plate of chicken*." Baozi thought about it.
“……”
Master Liu was stunned for a moment, and then blinked, not knowing what he thought.
The bun was a little strange and said, "You don't like to eat big plates...... Yes! ”
She suddenly screamed, pointed at the other party in grief, and shouted, "Liu Dudu, I misjudged you!" It turns out that you are this kind of person, and your head is full of ...... Hmmm......"
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was blocked, and Master Liu's face turned red, and he said fiercely: "You want to die, don't say it!" ”
"Hmm...... If you are allowed to complain, you are not allowed to say it? Baozi broke her hand and was extremely disdainful.
Okay, okay, let's not talk about chickens, civilized you, me and him, remember!
The two girls went downstairs noisily, ran to a nearby restaurant, ordered a large plate of chicken and noodles, and were quite in the mood to ask for two bottles of beer. After half eating, the conversation box became more and more open, and Zhao Liying asked gossipy: "Hey, did the teacher look for you after that?" ”
Master Liu understood that she was referring to the rumors, and shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
The girl took another sip of wine, looked a little bad, and sighed: "I'd rather he scold me a few words, or alienate me, and now I don't care, as if nothing has happened, I feel even more uncomfortable......"
“……”
Baozi knows his little friend's thoughts, and he is not easy to persuade, just wanted to mention another cup, but suddenly heard the other party's mobile phone ringing. Liu Dududu took a look, and the little excitement and panic instantly revealed, and then said, "Hey, teacher? ”
"Master, are you free at night?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Oh, then you can come over in the evening, uh, just go straight to the house." (To be continued.) )
