Chapter 1 Pick-up
Beijing, Base FX headquarters, Kung Fu special effects team.
"If we increase the brightness by 30 percent, we can guarantee the visibility of these images, but..."
Xie Ning, the leader of the special effects team, seriously suggested: "If the night scene is too bright, will it affect the audience's viewing effect?" ”
"It's okay, I'll make the moon bigger!"
Xiaobai waved his hand disapprerovingly, and then asked, "Can it be completed in six months?" ”
“… No problem. ”
Xie Ning is actually not sure, but who made this Bai Xiaofei's project!
Since two years ago, Bai Xiaofei's studio has been the most important partner of Base FX, and this year it has taken over two big orders of "Li Shimin" and "Kung Fu", of course, it has to be completed desperately.
"Kung Fu" has as many as 1,500 special effects shots, of course, it is not the most awesome in Chinese movies, after all, the number of special effects shots of big productions such as "Legend of the Gods" and "Asura" is close to twice that of "Kung Fu"!
If all the special effects of "Kung Fu" were done by one person, it would take 200,000 hours, or 70 years.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei's studio found five special effects companies at one time!
……
The sun was setting in the west, and it was almost dusk when Xiaobai walked out of the Base FX company, declining the invitation to a respectful dinner, he had a lot to deal with!
The filming of "Kung Fu" was completed half a month ago, and the old one will fly to North America next month, and "The Man on the Moon" is ready for everything, just waiting to start!
The weather in May is a bit dry and dull, making people feel weak.
When I returned to the car and turned on the air conditioner, I felt a hint of coolness, and the phone rang, it was Zhong Lifang.
"Lanxin Theater", 100 billion companies divested... Why? ”
"Okay, I got it, I'll be right there!"
Pull out a liqun, put it to your mouth, roll the window, and light it.
Recently, capital has withdrawn from the entertainment market on a large scale!
Every May, it is the time when major film and television companies frequently release film and television projects, but this year seems to be an exception!
According to public information, there are less than five companies that have announced new works, and less than 50 film and television works.
Of these fifty films, Penguin Pictures and Bai Xiaofei's studio together account for half!
Well-known film and television companies are also choosing to be silent at present, and after careful study, the performance of almost all listed companies last year was not very good.
Huayi simply lost money directly...
Of course, its financial statements show a profit of 30 million, but everyone in the circle knows that Huayi's market value has shrunk from 80 billion to 10.8 billion at its peak;
Huayi's life is not good, and the light is not much better, and the profit of the parent company fell by 17%~28% year-on-year;
The worst is of course Lay's, which has been renamed Lechuang Entertainment, with a direct loss of 2 billion!
"Star Pet", "The Condor Heroes", "Qin Ming: The Whisperer of Life and Death", and "Silkworm Man" series are all just ideas, and some are still filming, and the box office of "Assassin Bureau" is less than 500 million, which has seriously traumatized investors...
Zhang Zhao's estimate is hanging...
At the same time, dozens of film and television companies chose to leave the New Third Board, and Tang Ren simply terminated the listing on the New Third Board - it is impossible to be listed successfully anyway......=
Like Tangren Film and Television, the company that chose to leave the New Third Board is Jiaxing Media.
For most mainland film and television companies, it is relatively difficult to list A-shares, and the phenomenon of 'shell listing' was once rampant, but with the CSRC's severe punishment of the Yanzi couple's empty gloves and white wolf behavior in the stock market, the relevant departments have adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards the control of the asset securitization of film and television companies.
If a film and television company wants to make achievements in the capital market, one is to be acquired by large capital led by BAT, and the other is to go public overseas, but overseas listing will also be very complicated, so it is better to leave temporarily.
Gone are the days when celebrities cut leeks!
But it's not all bad news!
In the past, subdivided investment funds have returned to comprehensive investment projects, in other words, "film and television +" projects are still attractive.
Many provinces and cities in China are still including the film and television industry in the local key development, and will also provide support in film and television project shooting, loan incentives, tax exemptions and other aspects, but one of the most important conditions is that the filming of film and television dramas must be local.
In the 'Four Talented Women' series, the investment in each studio is less than 40 million, and Penguin Film and Television is also about the same investment, and most of the funds are solved by the local government!
Of course, the premise of all this is based on the strong marketing capabilities of Bai Xiaofei Studio!
The so-called marketing ability is the ability to sell films - the four talented women have not yet started filming, and five TV stations have come to buy films, including Yang Ma!
……
Xiaobai watched "Lanxin Theater" in the screening room with the company, and fell into deep thought after watching it...
It's a very compelling movie!
Lou Huohua's movies have always been very compelling!
What kind of director is Lou Huohua? A literary and artistic young man who regularly worships a director, who once failed to be judged because of the sexual and political scale of a certain film, and who was banned from filming for five years without permission to participate in film festivals.
However, "Lanxin Theater" was filmed very well, not Lou Huohua at all, to the point that it has a bit of the flavor of "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic"!
Probably because Lou Dao's parents are both Drama Theater Yayuan, and he grew up in the Drama Theater...
"Lanxin Theater", starring Sigonghuang, the core of the movie is very commercial, but Lou Huohua has no commercial nature at all...
No wonder 100 billion wants to divest!
This thing topped the box office of 200 million!
It's still up to Gonghuang + Oda Cherang, as for the male number one Zhao You, it's quite ...
Nima, how embarrassing to watch!
Can you not let him show up?
Acting is all yelling!
Brother Pony is possessed?
"What do you think?"
Xiaobai asked Li Yundi, who was sitting next to her, who was now the head of the film distribution department.
“… If it is properly publicized and blows a wave of forced qualifications, it may be able to have a box office of 300 million! ”
"If we take over, how much will we have to pay?"
"150 million!"
“… it! ”
muttered a sentence secretly, paused, and Xiaobai spoke: "That's it, the film distribution will be handed over to us, and we will have to share 12% of the box office, as for the 100 billion plate, you go to find Mr. Sun, he has always liked Gong Li!" ”
Li Yundi glanced at Xiaobai in a little fright, as if he had just known him.
“… What's wrong? ”
"Don't you hate Zhao Youting very much?"
"Hate to hate, I still like this movie very much, don't forget, I also grew up in the drama college!"
After a pause, Xiaobai continued: "And I need an opportunity to enter the Japanese market!" ”
Li Yundi was a little puzzled: ""Truman's World" sells very well in Japan! ”
"But it was issued by Lionsgate, and they cut forty percent of our flesh from us!"
It hurts to think about it!
""Shaolin Football" I'm looking for Yui Aragaki, you can help me get in touch!"
"Well, Roger!"
