Chapter 442: Animated Movie, Don't Forget the Original Intention
"How's it going, Sister Pear?"
After the movie was over, Zhou Yutang saw that the beauty in Tsing Yi looked serious, and asked with a smile.
Zeng Lidai frowned slightly: "I feel a little messy, but I can't say it, Zhang Yuqi is too bold." ”
"Hehe, people still want to rush to the Berlin movie queen."
Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li communicated in a low voice.
The length of "White Deer Plain" has been cut from more than 5 hours at the beginning to 156 minutes now, and finally Tian Xiao'e is regarded as the main line running through the film, and the plot looks naturally messy.
"Can that beat an imported blockbuster?"
"Sister Li, if she dares to say it, you dare to believe it?"
"Humph!"
The big beauty in Tsing Yi glanced at Zhou Yutang angrily, and she had a coquettish style.
Glancing at the scene of the uproar, it seemed to be quite controversial, Zhou Yutang decisively took Zeng Li to flash in advance.
When the movie "White Deer Plain" was promoted, he imitated "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and also used the boat show and Qinggu as a gimmick.
This in itself is a manifestation of her lack of confidence in the quality of her own films, and Miss Zhang doesn't have to think about fighting blockbusters imported from the United States.
In fact, the box office of the movie on the first day of release was only more than 10 million, and the gold medal screenwriter Lu Wei was quite angry after the premiere, and said in an interview with "Oriental Daily":
"Director Wang's spirit points to the fact that the land and epic are made into a greasy and crooked relationship between men and women, he wants to shoot Qinggu Underwriting, and what I do is the land epic and the changes of the times!"
"He used a lot of my things, but from the spiritual point of view, this is still his work, he didn't eat it thoroughly, the key words of "White Deer Plain" from beginning to end are always the land and fate of farmers, not about beauty"
Director Wang also used to be brilliant, but this drama was smashed after all.
On the other hand, the new box office director Wen Muye is still tirelessly promoting the roadshow.
The first-tier cities in China are running over step by step.
The so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, following Zhou Yutang for several years, Wen Muye is also used to a down-to-earth way of doing things.
"Rescue Mr. Wu" is not a big hit movie, but the quality is definitely above the level line, the movie has only been released for ten days, and the box office has already reported 173 million.
The box office data is only below the imported blockbusters "Batman 3" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" in the same period, and even surpasses "Prometheus".
Compared with those big productions that often exceed 100 million yuan, the total investment of this movie does not exceed 30 million, and the main expenditure is Liu Tianwang's salary.
Liu Dehua originally wanted to give Zhou Yutang a favor, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident.
In this movie, the salary he got was basically a friendship price, and there was also a bit of box office sharing, according to the box office trend of this movie, there is no doubt that he made a lot of money.
But it is Zhou Yutang who makes more money.
This film is wholly owned by its own company and handed over to China Film for distribution, and the box office share is undoubtedly a rather amazing amount at that time.
In addition, it also fully proves Wen Muye's ability.
But if you want to say that the biggest dark horse in the summer file, in addition to "Bouquet", you have to count the cartoon "Ice Age 4", the total box office has rushed to an astonishing 442 million, firmly occupying the third place in the summer file.
Zeng Li was rarely interested, and took Zhou Yutang to the cinema to watch this movie, which was really good.
Zhou Yutang called Li Shuang and said about the domestic animated film.
The beauty in Tsing Yi snuggled up to him, and the two often slept together, which couldn't be more familiar.
After changing two positions, it was easy to find the most comfortable position.
Zeng Li pillowed Zhou Yutang's arm, his shoulder against his body, and when he finished speaking, he moved slightly, and knew that he had something to say,
"Want it?"
"I want you to be big."
Zeng Lijiao slapped off the strange hand in disgust: "You want to make an animated movie? ”
"Well, the prospects for domestic animation are good."
Zhou Yutang hugged the beauty in Tsing Yi and was interested, telling her about the layout of the film and television industry.
The audience base of family carnival animated films is very solid.
However, Zhou Yutang is interested in more subjective and active adult animations: "Monkey King of Journey to the West, Nezha of the gods, Yang Jian, Jiang Ziya"
"These are ready-made mythological stories, and the audience is born with a sense of substitution, and if it is made into an animated movie, it will definitely be very interesting"
"Sounds interesting."
The beauty in Tsing Yi smiled.
So far.
Animated films are still a blank market.
Whoever can take the lead in this new track will have a greater advantage, and will be able to eat a more sweet and delicious cake when the time comes.
It's not just Zhou Yutang who has the idea of making animated movies.
After Tudou was acquired by Youku, Wang Wei, who was jokingly claimed by the outside world that he had lost at least dozens of small targets because of the divorce lawsuit, was already preparing to start an animation company at this time.
Zhou Yutang asked Li Shuang to find a professional team and was ready to spend money directly to buy it.
This matter is laid out first, there is no need to rush for a while, the foundation of Jiangdong Entertainment is still TV series and movies.
"Mr. Zhou."
Several backbones of Jiangdong Entertainment's TV drama business department, including Jiang Xueyu, who was wearing a professional skirt and showing her ability, saw Zhou Yutang walking into the conference room in casual clothes.
Everyone stood up, bowed slightly, and greeted respectfully.
"Well, hello."
Zhou Yutang sat straight on the main seat.
Beckoned.
Mao Xiaoyu came up very consciously to screen the PPT he stayed up late, and the backbones of the Jiangdong Entertainment TV drama business department led by Jiang Xuezhen looked up one after another.
I looked intently at a few key projects.
"First of all, "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", this project is pulled together, the preliminary preparations are in progress, and the directors are Li Guoli and Liang Shengquan from the Tang Dynasty"
"In addition, "Please Answer 1988", the heroine is set to Liu Shishi, Zhu Yilong and Li Hao are also confirmed to star, and this project will be completed by Sister Fen and handed over to her."
Zhou Yutang originally wanted Zhang Songwen to play the heroine's father, but as soon as he communicated with Zhou Shufang, he found that his schedule was about to be scheduled for the year after next.
I can only let Ningli go up.
Ningli's acting skills are also absolutely passable.
The killer who played in "Border Storm" made many viewers creepy, and then a large number of film appointments of perverted killers came to the door.
Zhou Yutang fully respected his own wishes and broadened his acting path, first playing an important supporting role in "Unborn", and then "Please Answer 1988".
By the way, he also asked him to take Liu Shishi, after all, he is also an acting teacher attached to the Yamashita Academy.
""Why Sheng Xiaomo" is finished, let Wang Kai and Yang Zi join the group of "Battle of Changsha", I have already said hello to the noon sunshine."
This is also the main theme drama made by Noon Sunshine, which can be regarded as a gift package for Yang Zi's signing novices.
Jiang Xueyan quickly recorded in his notebook, got up and asked: "Mr. Zhou, "Weisheng" is confirmed to be broadcast on the National Day, and someone has come to lobby and ask us if we want to make the ratings look better at that time?" ”
"Ratings fraud?"
Zhou Yutang rubbed the corners of his forehead, almost forgetting that there was still this stubble.
After listening to Jiang Xuejing, I learned that some TV research institutions came to lobby in the name of cooperative promotion, saying that they could exchange promotion fees for ratings.
"A 30-episode TV series requires 30 million to open your mouth, which can guarantee the top ten."
Jiang Xueji said helplessly: "The company's path is very wild, in order to prove my ability, within three days, the ratings of a certain cooperation have undergone a rollercoaster change." ”
"What is the approximate range?"
"From about 0.1 to about 1.0, and then back to the original data, Jiangdong's dramas, the ratings can be higher."
"Huh."
Zhou Yutang smiled and threw aside the pen that was spinning in his hand.
In fact, in recent years, the fraud of TV drama ratings has intensified, after all, the explosion of TV drama ratings contains countless benefits.
TV stations are also happy to see this, the ratings are high, and advertisers can be deceived into the pit, as long as the operation is good, the income of the TV station can even be calculated with 100 million.
Seeing that everyone in the conference room was talking, Zhou Yutang took a sip of water and asked, "What do you all think?" ”
"Mr. Zhou, I think I might as well give it a try."
"There are a lot of companies that work with those institutions now."
There is a lot of water in the ratings fraud, and a lot of interests are involved.
Ma Lao once said: If capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, and even be hanged!
Ratings fraud is purely a no-brainer business.
This is also the Celestial Empire's own national conditions, and people in certain key positions make money in a way that is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"There's no need for that."
However, Jiang Xuezhen stood up with an unusually firm attitude: "The gold-lettered signboard of Jiangdong was erected by Mr. Zhou, we don't need to go crooked and evil ways at all, many viewers have already subconsciously decided that Jiangdong Entertainment is a high-quality product." ”
"If there is a general week, there is a guarantee of ratings."
Everyone in the conference room had different expressions, although Jiang Xueji's words were suspicious of sycophancy, but it was true.
The king of ratings in recent years is not blown out.
From dramas such as "I Want to See You", "Classmates", "Latent", "You from the Stars", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Snow Leopard" and even the opening work of the Please Answer series that exploded this year's word-of-mouth.
Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Entertainment has developed a good word-of-mouth effect.
For example, a few years ago, everyone knew that watching movies had to watch Lao Mouzi.
Now countless drama fans are paying attention to the film and television dramas produced by Jiangdong.
Therefore, film and television companies like Xinli and Guangguang would rather give away some of their own interests and bind Zhou Yutang.
"I'll just say a few words."
Zhou Yutang stood up and tapped his fingers on the table: "I don't care what others do, that's someone else's business, Jiangdong Entertainment does what it should do, the foundation of film and television dramas lies in the works." ”
"As long as there are good works and are recognized by the market, are you afraid that you won't make money?"
"If the TV station has something to say, let the person in charge come to me, and if you have any opinions, you will change the partner."
As soon as the words fell, there was a round of applause in the conference room.
Zhou Yutang raised his hand and pressed it solemnly: "Everyone, I like a sentence very much, don't forget your original intention, forge ahead, this sentence is also given to everyone here." ”
His ideas are pure and simple.
Cheaper people than to spend this fraudulent unjust money.
Zhou Yutang is more willing to spend more money to do charity in poor areas and build more schools.
