After coming back, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Why are you looking forward to opening more film projects? In the dark, there seems to be providence, as if everyone is trying to push it, Brother Yuan, I inexplicably sat on the cusp of this storm? Diaphragm

But at this moment, Li Yuan suddenly thought that he should ...... It seems like...... Maybe...... It's a perfect closed loop, right?

As I mentioned before, in this era, making movies is not a very good choice.

The Hong Kong circle is indeed full of flowers. But they rely on their own cinema chains and crooked markets, otherwise they can't support such a huge film industry by relying on Hong Kong's local box office alone.

But there's a catch. Hollywood's digital technology streaming special effects blockbusters have begun to rise, and they are gradually conquering cities and lands all over the world.

The previous "Terminator 2" didn't say much about it, and it almost amazed the whole world. And in 93 this year, "Jurassic Park" will be released again and will be released in Hong Kong before the end of the year.

That is, starting from "Jurassic Park", Hong Kong films have been losing in front of Hollywood. Coupled with the emergence of VCDs and DVDs, the difficulty of making pirated discs was greatly reduced, resulting in a flood of pirated discs and a plummeting box office......

Needless to say, the movie is crooked. In addition to those New Wave directors, there are also Qiong Yao films, do they still have movies? Diaphragm

In terms of the box office share, the government will charge a 50% share? The rest will be divided between the producer and the cinema?

In other words, with this kind of non-human policy, making movies is not encouraged at all, right? Whether it's the producer or the movie theater, it's hard for them to make a profit.

In fact, most of the studios have a background in the rivers and lakes, and they all open chain underground theaters. Just evade taxes, otherwise you won't be able to survive at all.

One thing to say, many people blame the decline of Crooked Movies on the New Wave? Actually, don't blame those New Wave directors. Under this very unfriendly policy, it is impossible to make money by making commercial films, and it is better to make a new wave to win a reputation. And judging from the results, there are still several film masters such as Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dechang.

So don't be critical, it's pretty good already.

Not to mention the mainland. A copy costs 10,000 yuan, 80% of which is still the cost of copying. 100 copies is a national blockbuster? And if it's more popular? Do you think the printing and copying factories in the provinces are vegetarian? They'll produce at full capacity, and they won't give you a penny.

In other words, no matter how good your movie is, you will get 2 or 300,000 yuan on top of the sky? Diaphragm

With such a small amount of money, you can't even afford one-fifth of the birch?

It will not be until 94 next year that the first Hollywood blockbuster will appear - "The End of the World". By 95 and 96, the film industry in the mainland was restructured, several major film groups were formed, and a sharing system was formed.

Director Feng Xiaogang and others were the first batch of people to eat crabs. It is precisely because of the sharing system that Feng Xiaogang filmed the first mainland Chinese New Year film "Party A and Party B". But that will have to wait until '97.

As for allowing private individuals to enter the film and television industry? That is all after the beginning of the new century. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and I don't know the year of the monkey.

Let's take a look at the current situation of the metaverse.

Don't look at the acquisition of the two major film companies Golden Princess and Debao, as well as several other small film companies. But the "most valuable" theaters and artist agents have been stripped away, leaving only an empty shell.

And whether it is Huang Jiaojiao, the CEO of the Metaverse, or Li Yuan, the art director (the position that the eldest lady rewarded the little follower), they are not people in the entertainment industry and Hong Kong circles at all, and they have no connections. Diaphragm

What's particularly strange is that these two males and mothers are quite Buddhist. They are too lazy to participate in those parties in the entertainment industry, and they are too lazy to take the initiative to meet people in the entertainment industry.

To be honest, at the beginning, the establishment of the metaverse caused quite a stir. Of course, many film and television companies in Hong Kong are very vigilant, is a new predator entering the market again?

People in the Hong Kong circle have a lot of expectations, with such a big pipe, will it bring more opportunities? Especially in front of the birch pearl, we can also realize the dream of "200 million birch"?

However, after waiting for a while, there was no news? None of them? No? Yes? ……

Those people are wondering, what is this metaverse doing? Could it be that the young masters and young ladies of the rich are like this? They just came to play tickets on a whim?

After a long time, the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles have slowly forgotten about the metaverse......

As for those employees in the metaverse, all of them are marginal figures in the Hong Kong circle, and they don't even have a little weight. Diaphragm

There are no active signing artists, let alone big projects worth mentioning. As for the rumored co-productions with the mainland? Are they in the water in their brains? What is the future of the mainland market in this era?

Moreover, the metaverse took the initiative to give up the bend market, and it did not have a theater line, so it suffered a lot in terms of film scheduling.

Of course, Li Yuan can't spend a lot of money to buy a theater.

In this era, buying those theaters at a high price is purely a brain disease. At present, there are more than 100 theaters in Hong Kong, but later Hong Kong films declined and fell to less than 50? It's not a question of surviving the winter, it's a matter of dying out.

At first glance, it seems that as long as you open a film project, you will lose a lot. It's a bottomless pit with no future.

】

However, after Li Yuan's comical operation, such a new situation has been formed: the production of co-productions, Hong Kong has a little bit of box office - it is played at the Wild Springs Cinema - and the production costs are recovered through the advertising revenue of the Wild Springs Cinema. And leave n more copyrights......

Lie down! This is a new path, and there is no need for the box office at all? Diaphragm

However, Li Yuan quickly calmed down. This is a special phenomenon brought about by a special period, and it will certainly not last long, because it will face the following problems:

The first is the imitation of other film companies. Wild Springs Cinema can provide overseas films, can't Golden Harvest? Can't the Seven Dock Majors? Their film library is far larger than that of the metaverse, and the number of high-quality films is even larger. So there will be fierce competition;

The second is the awakening of the TV station. Sooner or later, they will find out the huge advertising value brought by the movie column. Actually, it doesn't take long at all. In two or three years, the Six Princesses will be established, and there will be several local movie channels across the country. There will never be such a good thing as sending out advertising breaks in the future!

In other words, Wild Springs Cinema can only eat noodle soup. At most, it will take two or three years to be chic, and there is no need to think about the big fish and meat in the back. It's just that at that time, the six princesses rewarded hundreds of thousands of dollars and bought the copyright of those movies. It can slightly compensate for the cost of some movies.

Finally, there is the issue of policy.

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with a small number of overseas films. But for many years to broadcast overseas films? Will the mainland film industry agree? Will those old artists say yes? Will it be allowed as a matter of policy? Audience friends...... Their opinion doesn't matter. The people have no human rights!

At present, it is nothing more than a sideshow, which is broadcast on TV stations, and it is still some old films, which will not have much impact. In the future, it will definitely be strictly managed, and even a show like Wild Springs Cinema will be cut across the board? Diaphragm

To be honest, since I had no such experience in my previous life, there were no examples to learn from. Li Yuan is in a state of complete blindness - he doesn't know how the future will develop.

However, according to the known conditions, conducting scientific logical analysis, Li Yuan was surprised to find that he came to an unbelievable and completely unreasonable conclusion - in the past two or three years, the more movies filmed, the better. You don't need to think about the box office at all, just be reckless all the way!

Lie back! Li Yuan almost didn't faint on the spot, is there anyone who doesn't care about the box office when making movies? Could it be that Brother Yuan has really become a great artist, and my ideological realm has transcended the level of fame and fortune? Will it be infected by those two young and stupid girls?

But on second thought, I have the copyright in my hand, and I have it in the world!

As long as you hold those copyrights tightly, you are already invincible.

Don't look at film art with that vulgar eye! Ahem.

Brother Yuan, why should I care about being reckless all the way? And to be reckless all the way, it must be sour all the way? Aren't men pursuing these? Thief romance? Thief irritation? Diaphragm

Anyway, with the windfall of Wild Springs Cinema, it won't be distressing to spend it indiscriminately. Then go straight to the five film projects...... No! On ten! Good brothers together! With a dragon slayer knife in hand, if you want to do it, you have to make a big news!

All right! Finally, Li Yuan didn't go crazy, he understood that he still needed to come one by one. First of all, it is a matter of script, otherwise those projects simply cannot be continued.

Speaking of writing scripts, Li Yuan is a layman here, but the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, some are masters?

I didn't have anything to say, just go to Nortel to find it. It's too late to look for it, and the university will soon be on winter vacation......

……

"Uncle, we want to find the school leaders and ask them to recommend a few screenwriting students with excellent character and learning?"

"Young man, I really want to believe you, uncle! But your reason is too fresh and refined, you are still ready to make a movie at such a young age? Then I still want to be an astronaut. "Ahh

"Why don't you believe me? Don't you see that I'm serious? ”

"I saw your thief's eyes. You want to sneak in and find a schoolgirl again, right? If you want to shoot the mother-in-law, go out and turn right, there is a dance hall. ”

"Lie down! What about trust between people? ”

"Hehe, want to trust? Do you have a student ID? ”

"Didn't I say I came here to find someone to write the script."

"You can't study well at such a young age. Don't even go to school, dreaming of making a movie? ”

"Uncle! I'm not a student! "Ahh

"What about your work permit? You're not the office of a Hong Kong film company? What about your letter of introduction? ”

"Lie down! Is ID card and driver's license okay? Can't I register? ”

"ID card, driver's license for a bird? The thugs on the street all took out a few of them. Sorry, boy, we only accept letters of introduction. ”

"Uncle, are you really serious and responsible?"

"Huh. That's called preventing people like you from making mistakes! ”

"——!"

Li Yuan didn't expect that just because he didn't have a student ID or work permit, and more importantly, the office hadn't bought a letter of introduction, and Nortel's porter didn't let him in? Diaphragm

After running away in vain, Li Yuan angrily scolded: MMP! Brother Yuan, I ...... Didn't you just take a few more looks at those female students?

But then again, in this era, many units only recognize letters of introduction, and it's really not good to have no letters of introduction! The gold content of student ID cards and work permits is even higher than that of ID cards and driver's licenses?

Who is going to reason with this?

There was no way, so I rushed to make a work permit first, and then ran around to buy a letter of introduction.

Interestingly, some letters of introduction still need to be purchased from a specialized agency? When Li Yuan and Wu Yongan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to buy a letter of introduction for marriage and divorce, they happened to encounter the days of divorce every week. Facing a room full of resentful men and women, the two young people trembled with fright......

Finally completed all the certificates, and Li Yuan was preparing to set off again. Yan Qingle quipped: "Mr. Li, I think you still have a student ID card." My buddy specializes in making fake certificates! ”

Zhang Xue on the side also smiled: "That's it." If you don't work here, I really don't believe that Yequan Cinema was made by Mr. Li. Look at you and Erlang, on average, they are not even 20 years old? Who will believe you both? Even if the porter lets you in, their teacher won't believe it, right? "Ahh

Yan Qing laughed: "Mr. Li, that's the truth." Since you say that you shoot your mother-in-law, then you simply go to Nortel to shoot your mother-in-law. Maybe you don't need to spend money on both people and money, and even the script doesn't need you to spend money. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, brother, I don't sell my art." Li Yuan made a joke, "But what you said does make sense, Brother Qing, you should go to a stable middle-aged man with high morality and a strange appearance...... Hehe. ”

Yan Qing suddenly found that everyone's eyes were suddenly fixed on him, and he immediately shouted, "Why do you all look at me? No, no, Mr. Li, I will be wronged and admit it if I am highly respected, what is a stable middle-aged man with a strange appearance? ”

In the midst of laughter, Li Yuan pointed at Yan Qing: "Brother Qing, it's you." You are now the Image Director of Metaverse Films. ”

"Lie down! What image do you want? Also, you don't worship foreigners, how did the people of the motherland educate you? I must criticize you grandsons, what's wrong with me growing like this...... Mr. Li, what kind of director does it add or not? Hey. ”

"Damn! So much nonsense? Add a chicken leg for dinner. ”

"The chicken legs are not good, add two poached eggs, I will leave them to my daughter-in-law and my boy." Diaphragm

"Why are you like this? Chicken thighs for yourself? ”

"Of course, the chicken thighs are left to my mother. The old lady is good for this bite, the older she gets, the more greedy she gets......"

“……”

Although these words were all jokes, Li Yuan did not treat Yanqing badly, and bought a set of brand-name suits for his whole body.

After dressing up, Yanqing did become human-like and dog-like, like an expert from abroad.

Looking at Yan Qing's stinky appearance, Li Yuan really believed it, no wonder his daughter-in-law would be deceived back then......
