Chapter 162: Purple Fairy
Encyclopedia all found? Will Jiayi be far away?
Xiao Ran's idea of splitting the script has actually been thought about a long time ago, and now he is waiting for the representatives of the two major theater chains to come to the door.
In terms of Encyclopedia Cinemas, because the box office of the movies shot by their own companies has not been very good in recent years, even if they choose the best schedule to be released in their own theaters, it is still useless.
So after seeing that the box office of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" in the first week was close to 300 million, the encyclopedia of the Huo family and his son couldn't sit still at first, and came to the door to buy Xiao Ran's anonymous script with a profit share of 10%, which was actually an attempt that had to be done to a dead end.
Even when leaving, Huo Chengen thought that if the movie made from the new script was a loss, then there was no need to give Xiao Ran money......
Of course, Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to him and helped Encyclopedia write the script, Xiao Ran simply didn't want the entire Huaxia theater chain to be left with the Yida family, so that Xiao Ran, who had no choice, could only become a string-pulling doll in the hands of others.
As for Jiayi, Xiao Ran felt that the other party couldn't sit still, although Jiayi's cinema operation method is the way of Yida Cinema, which is to support other filmmakers to form new film companies, and then the cinema chain invests in these filmmakers, so that their film company becomes its own satellite company.
And Jiayi Cinema's approach is even more crazy, in addition to supporting the three directors of the Struggle Film Company, also known as the Yida Three Musketeers by filmmakers, Yida Cinema has also supported more than a dozen other filmmakers who are not too famous to set up new companies. But the good schedule is naturally left to the three directors of the Struggle Film Company.
But there are basically no big directors who can carry the banner on the side of Jiayi Cinemas, and even the actors are poached from everywhere, and they are rarely able to cultivate decent actors, but Jiayi Cinemas' approach is to set up dozens of satellite companies, although they are all small film companies, they can ensure that the source of films is continuous, so Jiayi Cinemas is also the only cinema that does not screen foreign films.
However, this is not because of how deep patriotic Yuan Xiaojun, the owner of Jiayi Cinema Line, has, but precisely because although there are 107 theaters under Jiayi Cinema Line, they are all small theaters, and the overall scale is not as good as Encyclopedia's 58 theaters.
Therefore, Jiayi Cinema Line continues to invest in satellite companies. Start making all kinds of low-budget films. and then released in its own small theater, it is enough to meet its own film source needs, and because the level of the movie is relatively low, the cinema under the Jiayi Cinema Line is also called an affordable cinema.
In other words, the film co-produced by Jiayi Film Company is at the time of screening. The general ticket price will be cheaper than the movies of Encyclopedia and Yida. And because the scale of the movie is basically a small fight. is small and broad, so the operation of Jiayi Cinema Line is relatively stable, even if there are occasional movies hitting the street, it will not lose much. If the next one is a little blockbuster, it will be able to earn it back.
Of course, occasionally the film company under the Jiayi Cinema Line can also produce a few slightly large-scale and horizontal movies, at this time, the Jiayi Cinema Line will also broadcast the whole line, giving the greatest support, relying on this model, Jiayi Cinema Line has lasted for more than ten years, at most it has closed some large theaters, but the attendance rate of small theaters has been very stable, and it can barely hold on.
So Xiao Ran believes that now Yuan Xiaojun can hold back because he understands that he can't dig Xiao Ran away, but if he sees that the Huo family father and son took Xiao Ran's script and shot a blockbuster movie, then Yuan Xiaojun would still run to the door and beg for money to Xiao Ran!
These company information about Jiayi Cinema Line were all found by Xiao Ran on the Internet, and some of them were sent to Xiao Ran by members of Xiao's family class.
And in addition to these materials, there are also movie reviews about Journey to the West!
The box office in the first week was more than 270 million, and this unnatural box office result, director zhì "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" has become the most watched movie now.
So everyone who has a little bit of research and love for movies, especially those who are well-known film critics, is rushing to write a good film review one by one to prove their vision and level.
"I admire Xiao Ran's movie very much, completely from the perspective of human nature to analyze Sun Wukong, just like the description in "The Legend of Wukong", Sun Wukong was born a rebel who yearns for freedom and does not tolerate the system, so when he finally took his master to get the Western Scripture like a dog, in fact, the real Sun Wukong was already dead, and these two movies shot by Xiao Ran are to show us what kind of struggle Sun Wukong did before his soul died!" - "Qinghai Metropolis Daily", Author: Famous film critic hypocrite!
In fact, the editor noticed the heroine Xiao Xiao in the first part, when she was in The Voice of China, Xiao Xiao brought everyone a quirky and extremely cute girl image, and when it came to "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", the editor was very pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Xiao's changes in the movie, a domineering Spring Thirty Niang, after she had a child with the second master played by Sanmao, the interpretation of the two made the editor burst into laughter - I think my Spring Thirty Niang is as beautiful as a flower, and I actually have such an ugly man"—— Southern Entertainment Network.
"Now I only look forward to the next finale, how Tang Yun will play the role of Zixia Fairy, and what will happen after the Supreme Treasure becomes the Monkey King, I have to say that this movie is too good, as a member of the Xiao family class, I am proud that my idol is Xiao However, seeing the Xiao family class trio in the movie is fully worth the ticket price for me" - origin Chinese network platinum god: corn pineapple.
……
All kinds of film reviews emerge in endlessly, whether it is the major forums and communities on the Internet, or traditional newspapers and magazines, they are all blockbuster praises, and there are countless interpretations of a movie that has not yet been fully broadcast, and the audience who has not yet seen it feels a little itchy in their hearts.
Now it has become fashionable to discuss the plot of Journey to the West, whether it is in school or office, even if it is an Internet café and a construction site, if you haven't watched "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", and there is the strongest trailer in history released by Xiao Ran, then you will find that you suddenly can't fit into the crowd!
……
"Click! Next shot! ”
After the first part of Journey to the West caused a violent storm, the crew continued to rush to start filming the second finale, and now Yida Group sees that the Journey to the West series is so hot, and has already reserved the best time for the Chinese New Year during the Spring Festival to "Journey to the West: Cinderella", and now it is waiting for Xiao Ran's shooting.
When the plot of the second part of Journey to the West went back to five hundred years ago, the heroine had already been replaced by Zixia Fairy, and fortunately, Bai Jingjing and Supreme Treasure did not achieve positive results in the first part, otherwise such a role arrangement would easily lead the audience to scold the street on the spot!
The filming of "Journey to the West: Cinderella" from the beginning of the movie revolves around the Zixia Fairy played by Tang Yun, it turns out that the Zixia Fairy was originally the two wicks on the Buddha's green lantern, because she was in the mortal world in private, so Erlang God took the four heavenly kings down to arrest her.
The first scene is to shoot Zixia Fairy vs. Erlang God and the Four Heavenly Kings, and finally did not fall behind and successfully escaped, and encountered the Supreme Treasure played by Xiao Ran in the Water Curtain Cave, so Zixia Fairy showed her domineering side, that is, to occupy the mountain as the king, not only changed the Water Curtain Cave into Pansi Cave, self-styled Pansi Great Immortal, but also included the Supreme Treasure in the camp, and gave him three moles as a mark!
It is these three moles that the Supreme Treasure finally becomes the Monkey King!
Whether he wants it or not, he is just a chess piece, the arrangement of fate made him reincarnate five hundred years later and became the supreme treasure of the bandit, originally a qiē had nothing to do with him anymore, but the appearance of Chun Sanniang and Bai Jingjing broke the tranquility of a qiē.
Then the Supreme Treasure fell in love with Bai Jingjing, he thought that this woman was his choice, but under the arrangement of fate, the Supreme Treasure with the failure of the moonlight treasure box unexpectedly returned to five hundred years ago, and gradually walked into the chessboard arranged by fate.
Whether it is Zixia's three moles or the sword drawn by the Supreme Treasure, it is nothing more than an arrangement of fate, but they are destined to fall into it!
One body, two souls, Qingxia and Zixia.
From the very beginning of the encounter, the Supreme Treasure did not have a good impression of Zixia, and even felt that this was a so-called fairy, which was actually a neurotic of spiritual classification, but the Moonlight Treasure Box was forcibly occupied by her, so in order to recapture the Moonlight Treasure Box and return to save Bai Jingjing five hundred years later, the Supreme Treasure chose to start approaching the Zixia Fairy with a lie, but he didn't expect that in the end, he couldn't even deceive himself!
"Wait a minute!"
When he was about to enter the next scene, Xiao Ran suddenly shouted.
Because of Xiao Ran's absolute control position in the crew, the fourth senior brother Liu Kui must also listen to his will, and has no intention of continuing.
In this crew, in addition to Xiao Ran's position as a screenwriter, actor and investor, Xiao Ran is also the producer of the film, so his status is the director, and he is absolutely indistinguishable when he speaks in the crew.
After a pause, Xiao Ran said to Tang Yun: "Xiaoyun, listen to me, although I know that you have worked hard to act, but I hope you can play the different personalities of the two souls in Zixia's body, Zixia's character you have mastered, but there is another soul in it, it is her sister Qingxia, and this role is biased towards domineering, can you try to refer to Xiao Xiao's way to interpret it?"
