Chapter 494: Meow Food Culture Night
"It's all small money, Brother Qixi, you have to take a long-term view......"
Whenever this time, Boss Lin felt that he had split into a flickering personality, and he entered the flickering mode in an instant, and he didn't know the content of the flickering.
"What do you think of the entertainment industry now?"
"The current entertainment industry is very good," Du Qixi didn't know why Lin Dong suddenly asked such a lofty question, he thought about it carefully, and replied: "I haven't paid attention to things like data and financial reports, but I think the current entertainment industry is very good, and it has never been so good." ”
"Brother Qixi, you have nothing to do, study more, you can't solve everything in one slump." Lin Dong was very dissatisfied with such an answer.
"Okay, I'll listen carefully to the next time the people below report." Du Qixi nodded solemnly.
He's not just a director now, and he can't just focus on the field of directing.
He must shoulder the responsibilities of the Kleist Film and Television Production Department, a general manager, who is not clear about the current situation and trends of the industry, it is easy to make a misjudgment, and he will really lose money when the time comes, and he will lose a lot of money, how can he be worthy of Lin Dong.
"The current entertainment industry has been damaged by capital, and sooner or later something will happen......"
In recent years, capital hot money has frantically poured into the film and television industry, and through the overwhelming marketing army, many star idols with poor business ability and worrisome moral standards have been launched, allowing them to easily grab a huge amount of money that most ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.
Even third- and fourth-tier actors have also grabbed sky-high incomes that are much higher than those of normal citizens.
Spending a lot of money, drunk gold fans, luxury cars and mansions, you name it.
Seeing that the film and television market is so hot, the former peers are making money one by one, and their pockets are full of money, which practitioner is not anxious?
Therefore, even those old actors who don't have many fans, some are even "old actors" with good acting skills and good reputation in the past, and they are also desperate to devote themselves to the tide of money grabbing, to participate in bad movies and bad dramas that are clearly money, to match them with sedan chairs, and to save their reputation.
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
Today's entertainment industry judges the value of a star, and it is no longer based on whether his acting skills are good, how many excellent works he has, what authoritative awards he has won in the past, and how many classic roles he has created.
At present, the core criterion has become how many diehard fans does he have? How hot is the topic? How much are his die-hard fans and goodwill passers-by willing to spend for him to buy the goods he endorses?
The film and television industry has changed from the previous producer-centered system and director-centered system to a big-name star-centered system, and the entire crew has to work around these stars, which has become a part-time job for them.
The cost of a drama is 100 million, and it is possible to lose 80 million on stars.
In a short period of time, this crazy entertainment industry is extremely prosperous.
But Lin Dong couldn't get used to it, so even if he paid the actors in "Xinshu Mountain", the money spent on the salary did not exceed 30% of the total production cost, which was far lower than other big-budget movies.
In the past, 30 million could make a "It's Not Easy", and 8 million could make a "Many Days of Broken Love", but now it's impossible to die of exhaustion.
"We want to change this atmosphere, so we must invest in more movies with quality and connotation, making money or anything is not the point," Lin Dong said earnestly: "Brother Qixi, even if we liquidate one day, we have so many literary and artistic films under our name, who can move us." ”
"That's right." Du Qixi was like being empowered, and he suddenly felt that Mr. Lin was far-sighted.
the groove, cowhide!
The two of them were chatting here, and the awards had already begun to be handed out over there.
Meow Food Culture Night is not a film festival, nor is it a formal award ceremony.
I didn't even get the red carpet.
Because it didn't deliberately invite celebrities at all.
I didn't get any invitations, just to inform everyone, whoever wants to come will sign up.
Review it here, make sure that you are not on the run, not cheating money, and not have any obvious bad deeds, and I will give you a reply, which is considered a formal invitation.
The host is Kleist's artist Liu Xiaomei, who presided over the whole audience alone.
The opening remarks are to talk about the difficulties of literary and artistic film workers, and thank you for your efforts in the past year.
Then invite the leader to come to the stage to speak.
Don't get me wrong, this is not Kleist's leadership.
Instead, I invited people from relevant departments, but here is the capital, and the cultural department is gathered, and it is natural to invite a few competent departments to come over and convey the spirit.
And then immediately the awards began.
There are not too many cumbersome processes, and there are not even award presenters, only Liu Xiaomei announces the winning films on it, and then the director or producer goes up to accept the award and says a few words.
"The first group, the third prize "Master", the jury believes that this is the real martial arts rivers and lakes, please Xu Haoran and Xu Dao."
Xu Haoran's film was invested by Kleist, of course he will give this face, in fact, even if it is not invested by Kleist, since there is such an event, he definitely wants to participate.
This kind of event is much better than the average film festival.
Even if capital is frantically pouring into the market now, in fact, there are not many opportunities at the film festival.
Literary films are still so popular that people don't love them.
"Thank you, thank you Kleist, thank you Meow Food Culture Fund ......" said a few words, and then Xu Haoran went down.
Kleist invested 50 million in "Master", but the box office was only 70 million, and he lost more than 20 million.
Not only are they not angry, but they are now giving out awards.
Words of gratitude, all sincerely.
He took home a trophy and a check card the size of a certificate - with this thing, he could go to Kleist tomorrow and ask for money, two million.
"The first group, the second prize, "The Old Man of the River", the jury commented that this film has passed on a kind of fate that changes with the times, and Director Jia is invited."
This movie has nothing to do with Kleist, but Meow Food Culture Night is not limited to movies or filmmakers who have had a relationship with Kleist, and there is no problem with inclusiveness.
Section Chief Jia's status in the entertainment industry is actually very high.
Although in terms of box office, he and Wang Yingjun have a fight.
This time, Kleist held the event, and he asked people to get in touch and say they wanted to participate.
Of course, it is impossible to refuse him.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he actually won the award.
Not at all mentally prepared.
"Three million, it's very unexpected, and I'm very happy, they can make 350 million, 350 million when they make a movie, and we, 300,000 are difficult, it's not a secret, "The Old Man of the River" is my highest-grossing movie, it sold 33 million box office, after all, it still loses money, here I say sorry to the people who invested in my movie, I disappointed you again, I will go back and give you a point of the 3 million, which can be regarded as the money made by the movie......"
Section Chief Jia took the trophy and the "check" and went down with a red face.
