Chapter 5: I Don't Like It (4/4)
Back then, Mai Jia, as the most popular star and helmsman of Xinyi City, openly cooperated with Hong Jinbao, the main general of the biggest rival Golden Harvest, which was tantamount to derailment and betrayal for his own camp, and dealt a huge emotional blow to everyone.
Mai Jia is the comedy leader of "Best Partner", and she is also the majority shareholder of New Arts City...
In fact, the new art city will definitely disintegrate!
Do the math yourself, Mai Jia's account is Lin Lingdong, Tsui Hark and his assistant Chen Jiashang, and Wu Yusen;
Huang Baiming has Du Qifeng, Du Qifeng joined Xinyicheng and brought his assistant Chen Musheng...
These people are all making masculine movies!
New Arts City is a comedy-based empire...
Xu Ke witnessed the rise of the new art city, its ascension, its disintegration, and its decline...
Naturally, he is very vigilant, his current label is the queen director of Tianmei Media, if he rashly cooperates with Zhou Xingchi, the impact will definitely be very bad - after all, the producer of "Journey to the West" is Ahri Pictures!
pulled it back, Chen Xi continued: "The New Year's Day file uses "Love Saint 2"... It should be fine, right? ”
"Surely... By the way, what about Gao Fenfen? ”
"She's in the office...", seeing Shen Xudong turn his head and go to the general manager's office, Chen Xi hurriedly added: "Mr. Gao has realized the problem..."
"As the executive CEO of a film and television company, I can't even see the simple trend that Xiao Xianrou is not treated well by the industry, which is called a serious dereliction of duty!"
“… But many companies are still very much after small fresh meat..."
"Which company?"
"A lot..."Chen Xi gave an example: "Didn't the Huayi brothers find Wu Fanfan and Li Yifeng to shoot "Lao Paoer", Bona Yudong said on the surface that "fan movies can't work", and in a blink of an eye did "So I married a black fan", and I tied Guo Jingming..."
“… Okay, I'll go talk to her about something else. ”
Shen Xudong suddenly thought that the formula of big IP + small fresh meat is actually the consensus of most filmmakers in the past two years...
Because "Lao Paoer" did make money.
No one thinks that "Lao Paoer" can sell well because of Feng Xiaogang, right?
If... If Shen Xudong didn't have the blessing of the memories of later generations, could he be so sure that Xiao Xianrou was just a phenomenon, and it would be broken in a short period of time?
I'm afraid he won't sit on the Diaoyutai so firmly...
Not only in the field of films, but also in the streaming media track, Tengxun, Raku, and Youku have played the small fresh meat card.
- Because fans are really willing to spend money.
Although the number of paid VIPs on PPTV exceeds 120 million, and more than 180 million in Asia, the latter three, especially Tencent and Youku, rely on this strategy to menacing...
Shen Xudong directly asked PPTV to launch "Creation 101"... Ready to detonate next summer...
As for spring, of course, it's "Idol Trainee"...
What celebrities to sign? How can it be cool to make your own stars!
……
Many people find it strange that "The Wandering Earth" is so poor that it depends on Wu Jing's 60 million, and "Nezha" withdrew its capital in the later stage, and the cost is only 60 million.
But "Shanghai Fortress" can actually get an investment of 300 million?
Are all capitals stupid?
Because of information asymmetry.
In the eyes of moviegoers, the standard of a good movie is a good story + good acting + good production.
But in the market, most of the time, a good story + good acting + good production is not as good as good publicity.
This is a fact, in propaganda, there is a big variable called big star.
Therefore, celebrities are paid very much...
The original investors outside the circle only recognized big stars, and it was also because of this...
It takes at least two years from the planning of the movie to the release of the film.
But movie investment is almost the equivalent of judging whether a stock will rise or fall in two or many years.
On the one hand, it cannot be ruled out that the aesthetics of some investors are indeed worrisome.
On the other hand, the imperfection of relevant data leads to the fact that it is a gamble to vote for any movie, and many investors will choose those movies that seem to sell well.
"Shanghai Fortress", starring Lu Han + Shu Qi, is a big IP in Jiangnan again!
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a blockbuster!
Big traffic + big IP...
Director Teng Huatao has another "33 Days of Broken Love" with a small and broad "33 Days"...
In fact, finding Teng Huatao also fully shows that the management wanted to make a romance film at the beginning, which is consistent with the temperament of love science fiction.
What is the reason why they can get all the way to the direction of hard science fiction is really a mystery.
As for the final investment of 300 million, it can only show that the producer has a relatively strong ability to draw cakes, and there are a lot of people who have brandished banknotes in those years!
……
Shen Xudong chatted with Gao Fenfen for half an hour, basically revolving around the problem of small fresh meat and traffic...
Why don't normal people want to see little fresh meat?
Because our values are: a man should not serve others with sex.
Purely by the face? Note that it is only by the face, that is not the right path for men to take!
For men, appearance is just a plus, even if it was an ancient troupe, when rewarding, they shouted 'good work, be rewarded', not 'good face, be rewarded!' ’
"This trend will not last long, and it is estimated that at next year's CPPCC meeting, a few teachers will put it forward!"
“… What about the project of a bunch of small fresh meat + IP that is now being approved in one go? ”
"Investing in movies is not good business in itself"
Before Shen Xudong's words fell, Chen Xi pushed the door and walked in, his expression was very subtle: "Look! ”
As he spoke, he handed over his phone... It was Wang Jiawei's Weibo, writing, 'In fact, the world is big, not to mention the north and south. Blindly seeking perfection is tantamount to resting on one's laurels. In your eyes, it's just a movie, it's a world to me. If the so-called great success is lacking, there can be progress only if there are shortcomings. Ferryman, ferryman ferryman-——
I like it
Merry Christmas. ’
Tsk, don't even have a face!
Shen Xudong shook his head and was about to make a statement, "I'll take a look!" Gao Fenfen snatched the phone, and then followed with a sigh of surprise: "It's really shameless!" Can't you see that "The Ferryman" is not good-looking? ”
"Look at the comments below!"
"Comment?"
Gao Fenfen clicked on it, and sure enough, there were a bunch of celebrities liking and retweeting...
Something like 'crossing others and myself, I also like it', 'I like it too', scattered more than 50 celebrities...
Does this mean a deer as a horse?
Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone very directly, and was about to write, Chen Xi's expression changed slightly, and finally he didn't speak...
Three minutes later, Shen Xudong's Weibo was released:
Today's events reminded me of a quote from many years ago: 'I see that this comrade is very brave and has a good answer!' The people like it, you don't like it, how old are you? These words were said by Premier Zhou in his speech at the symposium on literary and artistic work and the conference on the creation of feature films.
In the same way, the masses of the people don't like it, if you like it, how old are you? ’
'The comrades in the entertainment industry are very brave, and the forwarding is very good! The people don't like it, just a few of you entertain yourself, how old are you? Celebrities should be the group most afraid of offending the public, and now they have no scruples about offending the masses, you are all good..."
'One final word: 'The Ferryman' I said was ugly, and I didn't like it very much,'
