"Confucius" is a TV series filmed by the mountain film team in the 90s of the last century, and the plot is based on "Historical Records of the Confucius Family" and "Analects", and this drama has done a good job of etiquette research in the pre-Qin era.

To what extent?

Nowadays, many costume dramas boast of how much they attach importance to how to faithfully reproduce the life scenes of the classical era, but few dramas can do it.

The palace, costumes, etiquette, food and other scenes in "Confucius" have been done!

There are no fancy fancy dresses, no strange hairstyles and crowns, no false and fancy palaces and lawns, and no food, fruits and utensils to cross, and even the etiquette when eating, entering the hall and taking off the seats, sword style and other details are meticulously displayed, making the atmosphere of the whole play simple and real, which is fascinating.

Textbook average!

In fact, whether from the perspective of film and television dramas or from the perspective of thought, it is extremely dangerous to point the camera at the saint.

Is the saint shown in the camera a reverent reappearance of the incarnation? Or is it a ridiculous memorial or an idol?

The same is true of Confucius.

Even within Confucianism, there are completely different attitudes towards whether Confucius is a great teacher or a king without a scepter, not to mention the various "reductions" and "deconstructions" of Confucius in modern thought.

Zhang Xinjian's version of "Confucius" is indeed a good shot!

The Mountain Shadow team, Shen Xudong has mostly cooperated...

Directly connected with Hou Hongliang of Mountain Shadow, and also invested in Noon Sunshine...

In fact, at the beginning, Noon Sunshine was just a post-production company established to facilitate the post-production of the film by the three directors Kong Sheng, Li Xue, and Sun Molong.

Later, Shanying was reorganized and listed, and on the eve of listing, Hou Hongliang resigned and joined Noon Sunshine!

Anyway, the original planned three-day trip, the next day, Shen Xudong slipped away...

I was a little scared indeed.

He's still a kid, he's at a playful age, there's no need...

It's a big deal, don't shoot it!

This sentence is a joke, Gong Li has agreed to star, and the rest is to bargain with the agency.

After "Carol", she signed a contract with CAA and joined the North American Actors Guild, which was very troublesome to take over the role, and she had to go through a brokerage company.

And it's also a TV series...

In North America, film actors are usually distinct from TV actors, and before Netflix, there were almost no top actors who would make TV series.

Therefore, Kevin Spacey filmed "House of Cards", many people described it as an Oscar winner who went down to shoot a TV series...

This time lasted until Zhang Ziyi's "Shangyang Fu" was broadcast...

No, it should be "The Legend of Ruyi" (Zhou Xun), "Daming Fenghua" (Tang Wei), "Tiansheng Long Song" (Ni Ni), "Shangyang Fu" (Zhang Ziyi), these dramas are all all kinds of publicity before the start of filming, peerless cakes, and then scribbled and reduced to invalid dramas, leaving chicken feathers in vain...

The word "inferior" has also become dejorative...

Guevara didn't sell tickets online at first, but founder Liu Yong's ambition was to make it a movie theater scheduling website with a good user experience...

Then, in 2007 and 2008, Liu Yong peddled everywhere, but no investor took a fancy to him.

This is not surprising, the original website was made by Liu Yong and others in their spare time, the pages were rough, and the arrangement was pitiful.

Or Chen Tianqiao's angel round.

In 2009, Guevara received an angel investment of 2 million yuan...

What should I do when I have money? Liu Yong didn't want to sell tickets, thinking that this was something that scalpers could do, and he couldn't look down on it at all.

However, he gradually found that after watching the film schedule, users will think about buying tickets. If you don't do it yourself, others will do it, and Guevara was born to improve the user experience, and after some struggle, he began his career as a "scalper".

People in the theater can't understand it at all, and feel that buying tickets online is nonsense, which is a difficult experience of opening up the land.

In 2010, "Avatar" landed in China, and Chinese people watched movies like a tide, and a theater in Shanghai could broadcast the IMAX version of "Avatar", so there was a 100-meter-long queue at the door, and scalpers also raised the ticket price, and it was difficult to find a ticket.

This is when Guevara was in the limelight, and Che Guevara sold more than 300 tickets at the original price!

On the day of the movie's release, Liu Yong personally went to the cinema to distribute tickets, because he was worried that the crowd would rush up and people might be squeezed into pulp, so he temporarily changed the ticket collection point.

It was this little experience that changed Che Guevara and the entire online ticketing site market.

Because of the advantages of online ticketing and the pain points of difficult ticket distribution, Liu Yongshun pushed online reservation services and terminal ticket machines, and a complete commercial closed loop was officially formed.

In June of the same year, Guevara won the online ticket purchase business of the Shanghai Film Festival, which was an instant hit.

In 2011, CDH Investments took the initiative to find Liu Yong Investment and asked him to make a bid at will, but before the contract between the two parties was signed, CDH put tens of millions of yuan into Guevara's account, accounting for 1/3 of the investment funds. This was the most beautiful moment in the early days of Guevara's business.

As a result, Guevara has entered the high-speed channel, and as of now, Guevara has won 75% of the national online seat selection market, and it is in the limelight.

Shen Xudong wants to engage in online ticketing...

He knew that online ticketing would become the main way for theaters to sell tickets in the future.

——Online ticketing accounts for more than 98% of the movie ticketing market~

He has a good impression of Guevara and has used it a few times - to plan parking lots and transportation routes for user prompts, to remind consumers to pick up tickets in advance...

Therefore, he wanted to invest in Guevara directly, and then asked Chen Xi to talk to Liu Yong...

Then Chen Xi went...

……

On August 31, the two movies "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rise" were released, directly occupying more than 90% of the market...

At this time, "Wolong" has been released for 19 days, with a cumulative box office of 1.003 billion, and the task has already been completed, so the company is not in a hurry.

It's just that "Cold War" is a little embarrassing - "Cold War" has a good reputation, and the main publicity is 'the best Hong Kong film after Infernal Affairs!' Released on August 23 (Qixi Festival), the box office on the first day was 28.95 million, 27.6 million the next day, and then ushered in the first weekend, with a three-day box office of 89 million, and a cumulative box office of 145 million in the first five days...

Very awesome results, and the reputation is good, with a Douban score of 7.6 points - the best Hong Kong film with the best reputation in recent years...

Then I ran into two Hollywood blockbusters...

Not only that, on September 3rd, "Prometheus" will be released, and on September 5th, "The Expendables 2" will be held!

To be honest, after watching the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", the single-day box office of "Chills" immediately dropped from nearly 10 million to 1.5 million...

It's still quite uncomfortable!
