Chapter 414, Classification of Schedules

"In this way, will it hollow out the Shaw Brothers and make the Shao tycoon angry!" Wang Fatzi looked at the dense circles on the list and said a little worriedly.

"Be angry, be angry! When the sky falls, I'll hold it up, and nothing will go wrong! Shao Daheng owes me a favor! Lei Weidong shrugged and said indifferently.

"There are still people who can't just dig Shaw Brothers, and Jiahe can't relax on his side, and compared with Shaw Brothers, Jiahe's top talents are even more enviable!

And the combination of Jiahe is even looser, a bit like a loosely structured Hong. Door, everyone's benevolence and righteousness are in the mouth, in fact, you take more, I take less, there are many contradictions, after a long time, the contradictions will definitely break up. ”

"That's right!" Wang Fatzi nodded and agreed, Bigao Company is a good example, they are all affiliated with Jiahe Cinema to make a living, and once they have a better place to go, of course they will leave.

"Plus!" Lei Weidong took a sip of his drink and said, "In order to start the popularity of the theater." When the company was shooting ordinary films, it was also preparing to take the big cast route. ”

"Big Cast Route!" Wang Jing, Zhang Aijia, Honggu and others were speechless, not knowing what Lei Weidong's words meant.

"Looking at a few people confused!" Lei Weidong helplessly explained: "I complain that I didn't make it clear, the big cast route is actually very simple, that is, big investment and big production, such as those big-name star actors now."

Although many of them are under the control of Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, because of their fame, the contracts of these people are actually very loose, just like Hong Fatzi and Zheng Shaoqiu, who signed a contract with the head of the department, and they can move around at any time.

This kind of big star who signed a contract with the head of the department offered him a salary of 500,000 yuan to make a film, he may refuse because he was afraid of offending Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, if he offered a salary of 1 million or 2 million, could he still refuse?

For example, Xu Guanjie, although his brother has a deep relationship with Jiahe, Sister Aijia paid 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and she didn't invite him to shoot "Best Partner"!

It can be said that the big cast is a big-budget commercial film shot by a big star!

The purpose is to make the company known!

"This doesn't seem to be any different from the commercial blockbuster you talked about last time!" Zhang Aijia wondered.

"No, no! There is a difference! Lei Weidong shook his finger and said.

"The big cast has not yet broken away from the film of ordinary films, that is, there are more stars! Invest a little bigger! Compared to the commercial blockbusters I said, the investment of tens of millions of dollars is much worse, and Dingtian is a medium-investment film!

Of course, if such a film wants to recover its cost, it also depends on the operation of the movie schedule, as well as the income around the movie, this is the planning book I wrote, a few of you take a look! Lei Weidong said and took out a few documents from his bag and distributed them to everyone.

Half-ringing, Liang Shuyi first closed the planning book, looked up at Lei Weidong who was sitting on the sofa opposite, and said with some emotion.

"Lei Shao, I originally thought that you entered the entertainment industry and invested in theaters just because of interest, but now I understand that I want to be bad, your talent and vision in movies are far beyond ordinary people, according to the methods in your plan, Lei Shao, it is not a dream for you to become a new generation of entertainment tycoons in Xiangjiang.

"Yes! Sister Liang is right! Wang Fatzi closed the plan and said for fear of sycophancy: "Lei Shao, the classification method of your schedule is so interesting, it seems that you are full of confidence in the New Year file, I really don't know how you thought of it." ”

Lei Weidong said with a smile: "Don't put a high hat on me, in fact, in Hollywood, this is all a leftover method, and there are already categories of summer and Christmas schedules in Hollywood."

It's just that because of the different living habits of our Chinese people, there is a traditional festival of the New Year, which has formed our unique New Year stalls.

After all, no matter what work you do in the New Year, you basically have to take a holiday, and when the time comes, you can attract the whole family to buy tickets to watch the movie together, and you can buy four or five, or even seven or eight tickets.

What we have to do is to use various publicity methods to stimulate the audience's desire to buy tickets and attract the audience to the cinema. ”

What Lei Weidong wrote in the planning book is actually worthless in the future generations, and it is not a new thing at all, but it is different now.

The clear concept of Chinese New Year films in the Hong Kong film and television industry still needs to wait until the golden decade of Hong Kong films, which was formed under fierce competition.

The current Jiahe and Shaw Brothers two major cinema chains, only know that tickets are better sold in the summer, Christmas, and New Year, and try to arrange good films in these time periods when they are afraid of films.

However, the classification of specific films does not integrate the corresponding concept of prime time, unlike Hollywood, which divides the year into several schedules, and there are corresponding films released in each schedule.

For example, in the summer schedule, that is, the summer schedule is the hottest movie schedule.

The most important reason for this is that the highest-grossing and really sensational films in the United States come primarily from children between the ages of 7 and 13 or teenagers between the ages of 14 and 25.

Usually they are tired of schoolwork, for them, only the summer vacation will have the greatest free time, and they have a huge consumption potential, so Hollywood has to focus on this target market.

Because I am very aware of the characteristics of the summer file, and a film that children love to watch will inevitably lead to the participation of parents, the films released during this period are not only "family-friendly" films that children love to watch but also adults love.

For example, "E.T. Alien", "Contact of the Third Kind", "Home Alone", "Toy Story", "The Lion King", "Shrek", as well as "Finding Nemo" and "Super Secret Service" are all masterpieces in this genre.

The summer season is also the most likely period for box office champions!

After the summer vacation, it is the traditional Western festival Halloween, Halloween is somewhat similar to the Eastern Halloween, on this day people are dressed up in all kinds of strange appearances, and children can go door-to-door to ask for candy.

"If you don't give candy, you will make trouble" is their unifying slogan. And around Halloween, it's when Hollywood horror thrillers are released.

People also like to go to the cinema and desire to be scared on Halloween, and it can be said that the more intimidating the movies of this period, the more popular they are.

As for the next Christmas schedule formed because of the long Christmas holiday, it is also a golden time for American film companies to earn huge profits at the box office.

Because after New Year's Day, the annual Oscars are just around the corner.

This is the most important film award in the world!
