Chapter 188: Return to the capital

Crazy, are you worried that there is no TV station willing to buy the TV series you wrote?

Bai Xiaofei!

Magnolia Award for Best Screenwriter, the screenwriter of "Wulin Gaiden", which has set a ratings record in the mainland in the past ten years!

"The Beautiful Sister Who Often Invites Dinner" has just announced the cast, screenwriter, and director, and before it has been started, a bunch of TV stations have come over and offered surprising prices.

Xihong City TV Station directly quoted 12 million for a single episode to buy the broadcast rights...

What's even more outrageous, they're even willing to pay a third of their chips upfront!

“… Are they crazy? I didn't even watch the finished film, so I offered such a high price? ”

"People are shrewd!"

Chen Baolian finally spoke: "In the Name of the People, they won the bet and made a big profit of 400 million!" ”

"It's normal to want to bet on you this time."

“… Betting? ”

"They want to buy out the broadcast rights of "Often Invite to Dinner", including TV and the Internet..."

Zhong Lifang explained...

At the beginning of "In the Name of the People", Xihong Satellite TV bought the rights of Taiwan, network broadcasting and distribution within a period of 5 years at a price of 220 million yuan, that is to say, 220 million is not only the first round of broadcast rights, it is equivalent to the income of "In the Name of the People" within five years has nothing to do with the producer!

On the day of the premiere of "In the Name of the People", Focus Media won the online broadcast rights and distribution rights of "In the Name of the People" for 240 million...

That is to say, "In the Name of the People", although Xihong Satellite TV has made a lot of money, most of it is advertising revenue, and the most profitable online peripherals are sold by them at low prices!

So, this time they are going to play bigger and spend a lot of money to win all the copyrights of "Always Please Eat"...

“… I want to be beautiful.,Love riding didn't you say it last time.,I'm willing to introduce eight million in a single episode! I'd rather put it online..."

"Ahem..."

Zhong Lifang coughed vigorously a few times, probably to remind Xiaobai Flag not to stand too early...

After that, the topic naturally shifted.

"Director, what are your plans for the near future?"

"Me? The later stage of "Jiupin Sesame Official" will be followed up, well, and the publicity of "God of Medicine" will also be opened, the National Day file, so many movies, you still have to promote it well, what about you? ”

"Filming..."

……

"Wolf Warrior 2" occupied the box office champion position for 21 days, and was finally snatched away by "Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf", but within two days, it re-topped the box office champion, and its influence lasted until September!

During this period, it was pressed by more than "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"!

"Rogue League", "Psychological Crime", "The Legend of Shark Pearl", "Dragon War", and of course, "The Founding of the Army", "Breaking the Game"...

"Rogue League", big star, big production!

Liu Tianwang, Shu Qi, Zhang Jingchu, Jean Reno, the cast is good, and the director Feng Delun is also very good at saving money, most of the filming locations of the movie are in the Czech Republic, in addition to the cheap labor costs, more importantly, the Czech Republic has a 20% tax rebate for film shooting - as long as your movie is filmed there!

So, it looks very high-end and atmospheric, Europe, in fact, the production cost of "Rogue League" is only about 200 million!

600 million can pay back!

Feng De plus Shu Qi and Liu Tianwang, with today's market capacity, it is proper!

That's what the producers thought too!

Then, within a week of release, the box office broke 200 million, and the single-day box office also fell below 5 million.

Director Feng once again betrayed the trust of the producer!

The original "Tai Chi" series has already pitted Huayi once...

This movie is very strange, with all the elements that can be good-looking, the big stars that you can't help but love, the beautiful scenery of Europe that you can't help but admire, the exciting car chases, the fancy fights, the humor with taste, all kinds of dazzling high-tech gadgets, the love that seems to be nothing, the friendship of a promise, the righteousness of sympathy, the villain who hides a knife in his smile, and the conspiracy that stops and turns quickly.

"Rogue League" is indeed reminiscent of many similar old movies, "Across the Seas", "Bloody Heroes", "Stealing the Day", and the 007 series.

The difference is that these old movies of the same kind mentioned above are all good-looking. And "Rogue League", which has similar elements, is not good-looking.

Such a movie needs to be IQ and interesting, and "Rogue League" lacks precisely these two.

Simple evaluation: "Rogue League" is a Hong Kong film in the 80s in the narrative style, which can't keep up with the aesthetics of the times at all!

The problem encountered by Feng Delun is also the problem of many veteran Hong Kong filmmakers: why can't Hong Kong-style commercial films play now? Why do mainland audiences not like Hong Kong films now?

It's simple, it's too old-fashioned.

Taking "Rogue League" as an example, the seemingly cool fights and tense plots are actually the remnants of Wu Baige's play in the last century...

When people are filming "Across the Seas", there are Fa Ge, Brother, and Honggu, no matter how vulgar the plot is, these three actors can also surprise people!

Can you?

As for movies such as "Psychological Crime" and "The Legend of Shark Pearl", it can only be said that they were born at the wrong time, if they were placed last year or the year before last, the box office might be good...

By the way, a week after the release of "Psychological Crime", in order to maintain the film schedule, it directly negotiated with the theater chain and adjusted the account sharing ratio from the previous 57:43 to 90:10, which means that if it is sold for ten yuan, the producer can only earn ten yuan!

In addition to extending the effective screening period and maintaining the schedule, the biggest revenue point is to facilitate theaters to steal the box office.

Even so, the cumulative box office of "Psychological Crime" can be more than 300 million...

The originally planned sequel was also aborted ...

It's the box office failure of "Breaking the Game" that is quite confusing.

Guo Fucheng plus Wang Qianyuan, Liu Tao and Yu Kailei, the box office on the first day was only 18 million!

Guo Tianwang really doesn't have a fan base at all!

The schedule selection is also very bad, not to mention the "Wolf Warrior 2", "Breaking the Game" can't fight "Kill the Wolf" released on the same day. Greedy Wolf", which was surpassed by the new films "100,000 Bad Jokes 2" and "Sail Movie 6" released the next day...

The Four Heavenly Kings, and Liu Tianwang can still maintain the basic box office...

……

September 4, Beijing.

As early as the thirtieth of last month, Xiaobai returned to the capital from Fo * Mountain with the mother disk and a bunch of people.

In the later stage, it will still be done in the capital!

The later stage of "Jiupin Sesame Official" was handed over to a group of old acquaintances, editing or something, so they didn't bother to bother, the rough cut version took less than three hours, and a little modification was a fine cut.

Mainly in connection with the original song of "Bao Qingtian", after all, many of the soundtracks of "Jiupin Sesame Official" are modified on the basis of "Bao Qingtian"...

Judging by the progress, there is no problem at all with the December release!

Xiaobai doesn't really want to compete with "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Operation Red Sea" for the box office, so he simply raised it to the Lunar New Year file, December 22, and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" to compete for the box office!

The release of "God of Medicine" is imminent, and now is the time for publicity!

"It's been decided, this is the propaganda plan formulated by the propaganda department, you can take a look!"

The total investment of "God of Medicine" is almost 90 million, not including Xiaobai's director's remuneration, his director's remuneration is counted in the box office, and the studio invests 50 million, which is the main investor.

Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Xiaobai were all sitting in the office, and several people picked up the paper and glanced at it.

“… Can't we just do a roadshow and a screening? I don't want to be on "Base Camp". ”
