Chapter 474: Sending Pennants [6K] [Repair]
With the hot screenings of "Chinese Partner" and "To Youth", the stock price of Zhouyi Film and Television suddenly rose.
The total market value has finally crossed the 18 billion mark, which is almost three times that of CTI Film and Television.
Even Huayi Brothers, which has the second largest market value in the film and television stock market, is nearly 5 billion worse than Zhou Yi.
After all, this is the first summer file after Zhouyi's listing, and many shareholders are paying attention to Zhouyi's performance after listing.
Therefore, this summer file is a big test for both Zhou Yi and Gao Fei.
In this case, the performance pressure on Zhou Yi Film and Television is actually quite large.
Because if Zhou Yi's performance is the same as in previous years, it can only be regarded as barely passing.
Only by performing better than in previous years can we meet the expectations of shareholders for Zhou Yi, a leading film and television stock.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi's production is as reassuring as ever.
And the ability to create stable and continuous content is also the fundamental reason that supports Zhouyi Film and Television to have today's market value.
But then again, no matter how high the market capitalization is, that's what it does for Goofy.
After all, the growth of literal wealth is to look happy, and once Gao Fei wants to cash out, maybe the stock price will fall in response.
Therefore, during this time, Gao Fei nominally became the richest man in the entertainment industry.
But his spending power is no different from the past, and he still lives on salary and endorsement fees.
Like a private jet, a yacht or something, you can't afford it, you still can't afford it.
Of course, even if you can afford it, you won't buy it.
After all, that thing is too sassy, and it's really useless except to pretend to be forced.
The most important thing is that Gao Fei is not busy enough to be so busy that he needs to fly everywhere at home and abroad.
So in Gao Fei's opinion, with that money, he might as well invest in a few more movies!
β¦β¦
July 12, afternoon, Zhouyi Building.
"Here, here, and here, all of them were montage-style edited for me."
"The dialogue scenes between Meng Yun and Rosie, the dialogue scenes between Meng Yun and Yu Fei, and the dialogue scenes between Meng Yun and Xia Lu must have the effect of contrasting with each other."
"I need to use these three dialogues to provoke the audience's thinking about the concept of love and marriage."
In the dim editing room, I saw Gao Fei frowning slightly and the editor Lao Ou admonished.
In other words, Gao Fei is not a director with a strong desire to control like Jiang Wen.
So every time he just asks for it from the post-production personnel, he doesn't care if it's done.
As long as the effect satisfies him, then it doesn't matter if the post-personnel have some ideas of their own.
It is precisely for this reason that although Gao Fei went directly to the roadshow after the completion of "Predecessor Raiders", the post-production progress of the film was not delayed at all.
And it's the same today.
After checking the results of the recent editing in the editing room, Goofy turned and left.
After all, he was first the president of Zhou Yi Film and Television, and then a director.
There is still an order for these two very different identities!
But when Gao Fei came out of the editing room, before he could return to the office, he saw Han Li walking towards him with a happy face.
Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but laugh and joked:
"What? So happy? Picked up the money? β
I didn't want Han Li to really smile and nod when she heard this:
"O(β©_β©)O haha~ It's really almost!"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Fei's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
After all, it can make Han Li happy to this extent, it seems that the amount of this windfall is not small!
Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately became interested, so he immediately chatted while walking.
It was only after Han Li finished telling the truth of the matter that Gao Fei suddenly realized.
But then Goofy couldn't help but be a little incredulous:
"So bad? Not really! β
"Andy, Tong Dawei and Zhang Jingchu have all worked together, and their acting skills are quite good."
"With so many good actors, no matter how bad it is, there is a bottom line, right?"
Seeing Gao Fei say this, Han Li sighed with a palpitating look:
"I thought so at first, so I bought a ticket to take a look, but ...... How to say it. β
"In general, it's just sixteen words: dazzling, ups and downs, heaven and earth, four countries and five places."
Hearing this, Gao Fei was even more surprised.
"Isn't that good? Commercial films are not like this, gorgeous and exaggerated are nothing! β
"Boss, it's nothing to have a commercial blockbuster that is gorgeous, but only if it is...... It has to be a movie! β
I saw Han Li complaining speechlessly:
"At the beginning of the movie, I saw that the Japanese underworld and British thieves wanted this painting, and Andy's agent had been protecting "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and I thought this was a common treasure hunting film!"
But then I saw that in order to protect the national treasure, Andy sent a beautiful partner Lin Zhiling, the point is that she is still a Japanese undercover agent! I thought it was a spy movie! β
"But looking down, Lin Zhiling fell in love with Andy in a daze, and the two even talked about falling in love, I thought that romance movies were the essence!"
"But it turns out that I was still naΓ―ve!"
"When Andy's revenge was processed, the bloody female ghost who suddenly crawled out of the plastic wrap, I knew that this should be a horror movie."
"Of course, it's okay to say it's a science fiction movie, after all, it was a flying saucer that stole the picture from the beginning!"
In the end, Han Li was about to go insane.
"So although I watched this film in its entirety in the cinema, I didn't figure out what kind of movie it was until it came out!"
Hearing this, Gao Fei, who was making coffee, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"What's so hard about this, if it's like you say, isn't this a comedy?"
"Hahaha~~ Anyway, I listen to it quite cola!"
Of course, ridicule is ridicule.
After listening to Han Li's words, Gao Fei almost understood the problem of "Fuchun Mountain Residence".
If it's really like what Han Li said, then this film really can't be considered a movie.
At best, it's a collection of commercial film clips.
Because it has neither a theme, nor characters, nor a complete story!
It's a layman's patchwork of movie stitches.
Therefore, no matter how gorgeous its movie picture is, no matter how much it looks like a movie, garbage is garbage after all!
It's just that there is a little bit that Goofy doesn't quite understand.
The project is said to have been in the works for three years and has been in the works since 2011.
The investment is as high as 160 million yuan, and there are staff from 33 countries involved in the creation.
With such a luxurious lineup in front of and behind the scenes, how can you find a layman to be the director?
Gao Fei has always been puzzled by this question.
After all, handing over such a cast and investment to a layman to direct, isn't this a clear waste of money?
What kind of scrimp investor can do such a stupid thing?
However, within a few days, Gao Fei realized that the original investor was the director himself.
(βoβ)β¦ Well, that's a lot more reasonable!
Speaking of the project "Fuchun Mountain Residence", although it was claimed to be jointly produced by China Film, Paige Taihe, Media Asia, Phoenix Satellite TV and China Film Channel.
But in fact, the main investor is only Paige Taihe, and the rest are just being pulled over to the platform.
And the reason why this project was born is also because of the best efforts of Sun Jianjun, president of Paige Taihe.
So in fact, this Mr. Sun is the soul of the project "Fuchun Mountain Residence".
And at the beginning of the project, it was originally intended to be directed by Chinese and American directors, jointly produced by international film teams such as China, the United States, Canada, Japan and South Korea, and finally performed collectively by big-name stars from across the Taiwan Strait.
It can be said that from the very beginning, the producer's ambitions were great.
By the way, they also coined a new cinematic term for this:
Make every effort to create the first [fashion action agent blockbuster] in the history of Chinese films.
Eh~ Although I don't really understand what they're talking about, it does sound a little unclear at first glance.
It's just that President Sun Jianjun, as the initiator, has always had a Chinese-style blockbuster dream in his heart, and he has an unpredictable complex for transnational shooting and big landscapes.
So I have always emphasized the need to make Chinese-style blockbusters.
But what the Chinese-style blockbuster in his mouth is like, only he knows.
So after many communications, the Korean directors, American directors and screenwriters invited by the film party successively walked away because of differences with President Sun Jianjun.
Even in the end, even the styling design was negative and detached.
So after successfully breaking up the main creative team, Mr. Sun finally decided to end up in person.
Although before that, he only participated in the planning and production of some variety shows, documentaries, and TV drama projects as a producer.
But the truth is so nonsense, even if Sun Jianjun has never made a movie.
But he still became the only director, the only screenwriter, and the only visual effects director of this movie.
Even the costume director of the actors is him.
If it weren't for this, Lin Zhiling would not have appeared in less than thirty minutes, COSS more than a dozen looks such as nurses, nuns, brides, royal sisters, flight attendants, and agents.
Well, I have to say that Mr. Sun has done a good job in this regard.
But there is only one advantage!
On the phone, in the face of Gao Fei's curious questioning, Andy on the other side couldn't help but complain helplessly:
"Alas~ I can't help it, it wasn't like this when I signed the contract at the beginning."
"At that time, the script was okay, the team was okay, and the salary was good, so I signed it."
"If I had known that Mr. Sun would be the director, I wouldn't have taken it if I was killed!"
Speaking of this, Andy did not ridicule Gao Fei in turn.
"After all, not all CEOs know movies like you!"
"So Mr. Gao, if there is any good project, remember to consider me as an old man, I'm very cheap!"
"Yes, yes, you're the cheapest!"
Gao Fei immediately smiled helplessly when he heard this.
He was also familiar with Andy, only to find out that this guy was actually quite funny in private.
Especially the mentality, which is almost the same as that of young people, and even some young people may not be lively.
For example, the complaint he just made on the phone just now was quite poisonous.
"I have been preparing for three years and have created a Zhouyi Film and Television with the largest market value in the film and television industry.
"Director Sun has also been preparing for three years, and in the end? tossed out a "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map"! β
"Alas ~ the gap between people is sometimes really bigger than people and dogs!"
Hmm~ Although this is a little poisonous, how can Gao Fei listen to it so coolly!
O(β©_β©)O haha~ So it's still old-timers, both virtue and art!
But then again, "Fuchun Mountain Residence" really broke the audience's hearts this time.
Before entering the cinema, many viewers were still looking forward to this film due to the influence of the promotional film and the movie lineup.
Although Lin Zhiling's movie reputation is a bit bad, the reputation of the rest of the actors is still good.
Especially Zhang Jingchu and Tong Dawei, because of the word-of-mouth explosion of "Chinese Partner", the two have also eaten a lot of dividends.
Therefore, many viewers are affected by this and think that no matter how bad "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is, it will not be much worse.
But I didn't expect that after two hours, the audience all had a feeling of being in their throats.
After the screening, they were indignant and complained that they had been deceived.
There is a sentence on Douban that is the most extreme and the most classic.
Here's what it says:
Even if all the metaphors and words are exhausted, it is not enough to describe its rottenness.
Because in front of "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", all the words are so pale and so weak.
Compared to this movie, I even began to think that "Boundless" is not so rubbish!
It can be said that how lively the producer's hype was before, and now how fierce the audience's backlash is.
With high opening and low walking, and word of mouth plummeting, it seems that it is not enough to describe the dilemma of "Fuchun Mountain Residence".
It's just that the more unlucky "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is, the happier Zhou Yi is.
β¦β¦
At Zhou Yi's internal regular meeting, I saw Han Li standing in front of the projector with a bold and calm face and analyzed:
"According to our preliminary analysis, there are four main reasons why "Chinese Partner" and "To Youth" have been in an abnormal state of box office reversal this time, and it has lasted for a long time:
First, it is naturally because the quality of our movies is hard enough, which is the most basic;
second, because of the appropriate publicity strategy;
Hehe, I think I still have some credit for this.
Third, there is also the impact of Sissi's unexpected assist a while ago;
While the storm wasn't very boss-friendly, it did contribute significantly to the spread of both films.
As for the last point, it's because of the crotch pull of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map". β
Speaking of this, Han Li couldn't help but laugh:
"So I think we really owe it to Director Sun!"
"If it weren't for him, the box office of our two movies wouldn't be so high!"
You must know that many disappointed viewers chose to watch the movie with revenge in addition to anger.
That is, I chose to watch Goofy's movies to wash my eyes, after all, I was disgusted.
This made the two films "Chinese Partner" and "To Youth" unexpectedly profitable.
As soon as Han Li said this, a burst of irrepressible laughter suddenly sounded in the conference room.
Even Ning Hao's guy was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and suggested that the company send Mr. Sun a pennant of "sacrificing himself for others" to thank him!
I have to say, this trick is really too bad!
It's just that no matter what, Director Sun did help Zhou Yi a lot this time.
You must know that the summer file was originally supposed to be a four-strong competition at the beginning.
But after Huang Xiaoming withdrew with "A Stormy Affair", it became the Three Kingdoms.
And after "Fuchun Mountain Residence" also pulls his crotch, won't it become Zhou Yi's standout!
Therefore, this wave of Zhou Yi is really a win!
You must know that this is the prime time of the summer file, which almost monopolizes most of the month's schedule!
If it weren't for the previous situation between Zhou Yi and "Fuchun Mountain Residence" that was too scary, it wouldn't have scared the rest of the filmmakers into not daring to get involved.
So this time, Director Sun's work really moved Gao Fei!
After all, he rushed to do the hard work, but when the harvest came, he retreated perfectly.
Tsk~ That is, Gao Fei's conscience, otherwise you have to invite Director Sun to participate in the celebration banquet.
"Alright, stop rambling!"
After Han Li finished speaking, Gao Fei didn't grind anymore, when he knocked on the table casually and chuckled:
"Today's analysis meeting is just to let everyone understand that success is gratifying, but there is also luck."
"So we still have to do the content down-to-earth, don't float!"
"Alright, let's disperse!"
With that, Goofy left first.
Seeing this, Ning Hao immediately followed.
In fact, Ning Hao has been busy with the post-editing of "Heart Flower Road".
If it weren't for Zhou Yi releasing another big satellite this time, he might not have come out of the editing room.
"Chinese Partner" box office 794 million;
"To Youth" finally box office 993 million.
Although the box office of the two movies is not as good as "Thai Embarrassment" and "Journey to the West" at the beginning of the year.
But it is enough to rank three or four in the box office list of Chinese films.
The most important thing is that Zhou Yi came up with two movies with a bumper harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth at one time, which has proved Zhou Yi's strength in film and television production!
It can be said that this is more than when "Thai Embarrassment" won the box office list, and it shocked a group of industry insiders.
Because a success can be said to be a fluke, but if you can succeed one after another, then it can only be due to strength!
Therefore, as soon as the news that Zhou Yi Film and Television was going to hold a celebration banquet came out, many people began to grab the invitation.
Of course, Ning Hao naturally didn't care about the celebration banquet or something.
Compared with this superficial article, Ning Hao was even more puzzled about what the document Gao Fei handed him for inspection and study meant!
β¦β¦
In the president's office, before Gao Fei sat down, Ning Hao couldn't wait to ask:
"Lao Gao, what the hell are you doing?"
"I'm a big mess in China, how can I go to Hollywood with a good pole?"
When Gao Fei heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded angrily:
"You guy, don't give me a cheap price and sell well, others don't have a chance to go if they want to!"
Without waiting for Ning Hao to grind again, Gao Fei said with a straight expression:
"I'll tell you straight, it's none of anything to do with me."
"This is Mr. Han's kindness, he will retire next year, and he wants to do something for Huaxia movies before leaving."
With that, Goofy took out a list from a drawer and placed it in front of him.
"Including you, Mr. Han is going to send a total of five people over this time for half a year."
"When you get there, the Warners will greet you and give you a general idea of the film industry model in Hollywood."
"Mr. Han doesn't expect you to make any achievements in the future, he just wants to give you young filmmakers a farther future to go."
"So don't let down Mr. Han's hard work!"
Speaking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
After all, if he is not true love for Chinese movies, how could Han Sanpin do such a thing of "the predecessor plants trees, and the latter takes advantage of the shade"!
And although Lao Han is a bit domineering, he really has a lot of credit for Huaxia Film's achievements today.
At least in some ways, it takes a lot of courage and determination to not be afraid to make mistakes and have the courage to try!
Ning Hao didn't expect that there would be such an inside story in this matter.
So after a moment of silence, he nodded lightly and left without saying anything.
