Chapter 327 Reality Slaps the Face and Mouths Hard, Lays Out Video Websites
What is a movie with a mission nature?
Generally, it is mainly promoted by departments such as China Propaganda and State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission with resources and backgrounds, and China Film Group is responsible for the implementation of films with a political nature.
Then departments at all levels will follow suit and vigorously promote and publicize.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", the two main theme movies, are among them.
Since the main theme, the box office data must be good-looking, otherwise where will the leader's face go?
When "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was released, the ticket price was as high as 100, but it was not because the audience's wallets were bulging that the venue was full.
Instead, governments and units at all levels in various localities organized chartered venues, and many brothers in the system were blessed.
In this year's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", the ticket price is not so exaggerated, but the film schedule of major theaters will undoubtedly take care of it.
"The unit is chartered, and it is lively."
"Mr. Zhou played by Zhou Yutang, he feels very good."
"Middle-aged Wang Tiecheng, elderly Sun Weimin, Zhou Yutang plays the young Mr. Zhou, the age is also in line, elegant demeanor, but without losing the heroic spirit."
"It's much better than the shoe dong."
After the premiere of the movie, Zhou Yutang only participated in a few promotional stops in Beijing.
In fact, the plot is just like that, but Mr. Zhou, who he played, unexpectedly received a lot of praise.
His hair is combed back, his sword eyebrows are thick, his eyes are bright, and even if he is in prison, he is neither humble nor arrogant.
That kind of posture and bearing is really extraordinary.
The National Day holiday is coming, and the seven-day long holiday belongs to the carnival of workers.
For the film market, a wave of movie-watching craze has also come, and after "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", Juli Pictures' "The Legend of the White Snake" has been released one after another.
"Shock! Keanu Reeves, a Hollywood superstar who is famous all over the world for "The Matrix", appeared in a movie theater in Beijing to buy tickets to watch "The Legend of the White Snake". ”
"Huang Shengyi Linfeng detonated hundreds of fans to sing the theme song of the movie "Promise".
"The special effects are powerful, the graphics are beautiful, happy and hilarious, moving to tears, and definitely worth watching.
In order to impact the National Day file, Yang Gongzi really made a lot of money this time.
Overwhelming drafts, all kinds of marketing, don't want to smash it like money.
However, the White Snake's first-day box office was not satisfactory.
In the case that the number of films scheduled is not low, the attendance rate is worrying, and the box office on the first day is 14.8 million.
"That's it?"
A professional like Han Sanping would not normally laugh.
But when I saw the box office of "The Legend of the White Snake", I was still overjoyed and couldn't help laughing.
He was still quite worried before, after all, this magic blockbuster was about to blow into the sky, and Venice foreigners were shocked, and they had to cry after watching it.
The task-based "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" of China Film's main control belt was also released at the same time.
If you encounter it, the box office performance is ugly, and it will be a little embarrassing.
Now it seems that there is no need for such concerns.
The so-called magic blockbuster is a joke.
"Mr. Han, you're about to laugh into a cocked mouth, be careful of being fished away by the fisherman."
Zhou Yutang was talking to him about the special effects company, and when he saw Han Sanping's face, he also felt a little funny and quipped.
Thinking about that Yang Gongzi, when he was doing propaganda work, he also pulled him to hype it up.
This first-day box office came out and was probably dumbfounded.
But Zhou Yutang still underestimated the hardness of Yang Gongzi's mouth.
After the box office came out on the first day, Yang Gongzi's mentality did not collapse, and he still said confidently on Weibo: "It's not a big problem, the overseas copyright has been sold for 20 million US dollars, and the box office is only 180 million, and we can return to the cost." ”
This guy is coming with his mouth open.
Zhou Yutang was also convinced.
Twenty million dollars.
What is this concept?
In recent years, the copyright of domestic films has not exceeded 10 million US dollars.
Those foreigners are not wronged.
Yang Gongzi's iron mouth is nailed, and the main thing is a hard spirit.
It's a pity that reality gave him a hard slap, and his face was swollen.
Following the box office on the first day, the performance of the National Day holiday was still sluggish, with only 52.1 million box office in the first weekend.
On the other hand, on the side of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", the organizational tasks were passed layer by layer, and everyone collected firewood and the flame was high, and the box office just came out in the first week, 255 million.
It is exactly a fraction of the box office of this main theme movie.
This time, Yang Gongzi won't talk about hitting the 1 billion box office.
He's not stupid.
This single-week box office combined is not even as high as "League of Thieves" by one day.
This is still a single-week box office in the Golden National Day file, which can be said to be extremely crotch-pulling.
"Brother Ming, why are your dark circles coming out?"
When he saw Tian Ming in his office again, Zhou Yutang was startled.
This brother seems to have not slept well for a few days, his expression is a little pale, and the dark circles under his eyes are obvious
"Is there one?"
Tian Ming crossed Erlang's legs disappreciably: "I don't feel anything." ”
"Are you alright? Would you like me to introduce you to an expert? ”
"No, I'm in good health."
"Sister-in-law didn't come with you this time?"
"What is it like for a man to come out to do a career and take a woman."
Tian Ming put down the cocked Erlang's legs and asked urgently: "Yu Tang, why hasn't your "Unborn" turned on yet?" When will Xiaojie join the group? ”
"I guess it's going to be some time later."
Zhou Yutang noticed that Tian Ming's expression was a little disappointed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Several important roles in the workplace drama "Unborn" controlled by Jiangdong Entertainment Company have basically been decided.
Among them, there is also a supporting role of a female manager of a foreign trade company, and Zhou Yutang handed it over to Zhu Jie.
This circle is not only like him and Yang Mi, who are bent on progress.
Some artists with special backgrounds really don't have no acting, nor do they just take this as a job.
Zhou Yutang has a close relationship with Tian Ming, so naturally there is no need for extra polite greetings, what he said is the company's business.
"The ratings report of "The Voice", you received it, it is still maintained at about 4.6%, occasionally there are program explosions, you can break five, the average rating of the second season of "Running Man" is about 5%, the newcomer you brought, what is the name of Dilizaha, the evaluation of the program team is very good"
"Brother Ming, it's not Dilizaha."
Zhou Yutang's face darkened, and he corrected: "That's Di Lieba." ”
The national popularity of the show Running Man is quite rebellious.
Di Lieba was just an amateur female college student with no foundation before, but after signing a contract with Jiangdong Entertainment, she got the opportunity to become a running male flying guest, with her bright appearance and lively and cheerful personality, she attracted a lot of fans in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as laying a solid foundation for her next acting career.
I don't know how many female artists in the circle envy her.
"Sounds pretty much the same."
Tian Ming raised the teacup, took a sip gently, and smashed his mouth: "Yu Tang, the ratings of "Singer" and "The Masked Singer" have also stabilized, but "Where Are You Going, Dad, Season 2", this year's ratings have dropped a lot, and the average rating is only about 3.8%."
Speaking of this, Tian Ming put down the teacup with a slightly regretful expression.
"Brother Ming, be content, it's good to have this rating."
Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly and laughed softly.
When the first season of "Where Are You Going, Dad" was broadcast, the ratings were only at the level of a popular variety show, but the twelve episodes of the first season, since the sixth episode, each episode has maintained a rating of more than 5%, and the viewership share is close to an astonishing 20%, which is unprecedentedly popular.
Countless people in the circle exclaimed that another national variety show was about to be born, but they didn't expect the second season to start high and go low, and the ratings failed to stabilize after all.
This is related to the fact that the guests in the first season got out of the car and changed gears.
Several cute babies in the first season are too stalked.
Now the second season is on the bus with Huang Lei's father and daughter, Lu Yi's father and daughter, Wu Zhenyu father and son, Cao Ge's father and daughter, Yang Wei father and son's parent-child guest lineup, there are not many wonderful stalks, and the popularity has subsided slightly.
"It's not bad, and it can also bring in nine-figure revenue for the company."
Tian Ming laughed a little happily: "Yu Tang, it's good to listen to you, I cashed out "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" at a high level, I heard that the ratings of the show have been declining, and I was asked to rectify it by the above, which is very troublesome."
The format of the program "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" determines that its upper limit is not high.
At first, it came out because of the novelty of the blind date mode, which quickly attracted the attention of the audience, but with the increase of blind date and marriage programs on various local stations, the audience gradually developed visual fatigue.
Then there is the main control program of Su Provincial Station, which relaxed the review in order to break the ratings.
Some terrible male and female guests, many of them are at the bottom of the entertainment industry and participate in programs in order to become famous.
directly lowered the level of the program, and there was a lot of negative social news outside the venue, which was stopped and rectified by the above.
"Lao Zhou has been a little anxious lately."
"What's wrong?"
"The old director of Su Shengtai is about to retire, his position is almost stable, and suddenly something like this happens, can he not be in a hurry."
Tian Ming said with a smile, obviously knowing a lot of inside information.
"No wonder I call every day and ask, I want to go directly to that outdoor variety show."
Zhou Yutang rubbed the corners of his forehead.
A few days ago, I stayed at the house of a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi overnight, and when I was in a hurry, I also received a call from Zhou Ningfeng.
"When are you going to do that variety show?"
"Wait a little longer."
Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said with a smile: "Wait for the company to go public, and then cooperate with the hype." ”
Tian Ming was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I think there is a trick." ”
"Then I'll wait for your good news, Brother Ming."
"That's good news for us."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
With the influx of capital into the film and television industry.
A bunch of predators are throwing money at the spree.
This year, Tencent has officially set up a 500 million film and television investment fund, and is expected to increase investment next year.
Shanda Group's Shanda Huaying Shengshi has also formulated a film and television development plan, and Xu Ke's movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Huaying Shengshi is one of the important investors.
Zhou Yutang did not stop the pace of development, and it was a step to promote the listing of Mingjie Company, and there was also a one-handed arrangement.
"Brother Ming, how are the talks going on on the video website?"
"It's a pity, if we laid out the layout a few years earlier, we could take over the potatoes and be the first video website to be listed in the United States."
Tian Ming regretted missing the opportunity.
"At the time, I didn't have that much money to play this."
Zhou Yutang also shook his head and smiled, it is very expensive to be a video website.
Last year, when Tudou was in the final stage of going public, it was dragged back by the boss's divorce lawsuit.
This year, after paying a painful price, the potato boss finally settled the divorce lawsuit, and the potato was barely listed, but sometimes, the opportunity is fleeting.
A crisis of confidence in Chinese concept stocks broke out on Wall Street, and Tudou's market value is now only $700 million, a difference of nearly $2 billion compared with Youku's $2.78 billion in the same period.
Not a volume at all.
Now many financial media are ridiculing that Mr. Wang divorced a marriage worth $2 billion.
Zhou Yutang had already formulated the idea of making a video website with Tian Ming.
First of all, the target is potatoes, Tian Ming went to contact Mr. Wang, but unfortunately the cooperation could not be negotiated for some reasons, and now Youku is preparing to take over potatoes in the form of a share exchange.
"Now, there's only the launch alternative."
