"Although it's not as good as New York and Los Angeles, it feels very good."
"But the future is hard to say, but for Justin, there must be a different feeling here."
No matter how he denies it, he always feels that the land of China makes him feel friendly. In fact, he has grown up in the United States since childhood.
Chen Tian felt that he was not that strong when he was in the United States. At this moment, he could think that only Grandma Wang was the only one.
Perhaps it was Grandma Wang and the Chinatown that allowed him to grow up, so his feelings became much stronger at this moment, especially the Beijing city seen through the DV camera lens.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was still early before the real nightlife began. Han Sanping deliberately arranged this way.
He felt that young people like Chen Tian, especially those who grew up in the United States, should be very adaptable to the bar and nightclub environment, but he himself did not like it so much, so he arranged it at 8:30.
Generally, bars and nightclubs start to be busy until 10 o'clock. According to his estimate, one and a half hours are enough for him to talk to Chen Tian about a lot of things and then leave.
"How is Xiao Liu preparing?" Han Sanping asked. He hoped to achieve the goal he expected tonight.
Chen Tian came to China to film "The Raid" just a small part of his plan. It is his deep purpose to look forward to Chen Tian leading the Chinese film market to let Chinese films come out internationally.
Although he knew that it was basically a foregone conclusion that he would become the head of the China Film Group in the future, he hoped that he could achieve enough convincing political achievements, and Chen Tian was his expectation.
He hopes that he can be recorded in the history of Chinese films and become a hero in the rise of Chinese films.
"Mr. Han is ready, and do we want to..." Liu Qiangsheng made a gesture and was immediately interrupted by Han Sanping.
"We don't take the initiative. If he wants it, it's his own business. OK. Let's go!" Han Sanping didn't want to lose big because of a small loss.
If Liu Qiangsheng's suggestion is exposed, he is likely to fail at a critical moment. He does not want such a thing to happen, although the probability of such a thing happening is almost negligible.
At this time, Chen Tian, who was sitting in the car, also realized that he had come to a relatively prosperous place in Beijing's nightlife, and did not have much experience in nightlife.
Looking at the twinkling neon lights in the distance, Chen Tian couldn't help laughing.
He remembered his first nightclub trip in his life, and that trip to Las Vegas, which changed the night of his life.
If it weren't for his attempt to experience a nightclub that time, it wouldn't have happened that he traveled fourteen years ago.
He wouldn't have gained a foothold in Hollywood so soon and became a miracle director in the mouths of the media and movie fans.
All of this was given to him by a nightclub trip. Although he could count the times he spent in the nightclub with one hand, he still had a different kind of affection for the nightclub.
"This is a relatively top nightclub in China. It was just built last year." Yuan Heping pointed to the places on both sides of the street and said. Chen Tian's understanding of the capital of later generations does not include nightclubs.
At this moment, the nightclubs here are far less than that of later generations and are so lively, but we can already see that they are gradually forming a scale.
Since he had said hello before, the staff also knew that it was an important person and walked in with the group.
Since it is not yet time to be active in the nightclub, the music in the store is not that exciting.
There were almost no one on the dance floor, and the lights were not that high. The clearly layered booth was completely exposed to the lights at this moment.
"Please follow me!" The sexy beauty in a rabbit outfit led Chen Tian and the others to the second floor.
"This is a VIP private room. I hope you can have fun and call me anytime if you need it. I'm outside!"
The beautiful bunny girl half bowed, and the spring light on her chest was half revealed. She didn't know that the person who came tonight was Chen Tian, and she didn't know who Chen Tian was. She only knew that tonight was a VIP private room booked by a big man.
She hoped that her outstanding appearance could attract the attention of distinguished guests, but no one looked at her side, which somewhat disappointed her.
With a smile, he closed the door of the private room for Chen Tian and the others, and Chen Tian looked at the entire private room.
The private room looks like a reduced first floor, with three or four booths, and a sofa set, and a simple small dance floor in the center of the room. There is also a place to facilitate pole dancing on the right side of the room.
"I made you spend money today!" Chen Tian knew that such a place would definitely not be cheap.
Yuan Heping smiled: "It's not me who spent money today, it's Mr. Han treating him. He is coming soon."
Chen Tian didn't expect that it was Han Sanping's treat, and he intuition told him that tonight would not be just a welcome party.
"I thought, then, did I have to take back my thanks?" Chen Tian joked, and also glanced at Donnie Yen sitting next to Yuan Heping.
He and Donnie Yen are not in the same car, but since they got off the car, Donnie Yen didn't speak, and they seemed very silent.
"Why is Zidan so quiet today? Are you not satisfied with this place? I know that the nightlife in Hong Kong is much richer than here." Chen Tian asked with a smile.
Donnie Yen was surprised and a smile appeared on her face, but her smile seemed somewhat reluctant.
“No, I just felt the pressure.
Because they are very good, I think our movement design can be done better, but I am not 100% sure how it is better.”
Of course, he would not tell Chen Tian that he was quarreling with Yuan Heping in the afternoon, which led to his concern that the male protagonist might be replaced.
"You say that, I'm like Grandet. Now we're out to play, so don't think about work anymore. Let's think about it tomorrow."
Chen Tian’s words and smile comforted Donnie Yen a lot, and soon the rabbit girl at the door brought wine.
Although Yuan Heping signaled that the drinks should not be polite, Chen Tian insisted on choosing a simple Chivas and a low-quality cocktail.
If he was just out to play, Chen Tian didn't mind getting drunk, but when he came here, Chen Tian felt that he wouldn't be so simple to play tonight. If his brain was not 100% awake, he would undoubtedly put himself in a passive position.
This is something Chen Tian absolutely does not want to see, so he ordered wine very simply.
In less than ten minutes, Han Sanping brought Liu Shengqiang to the private room.
After a few minutes of pleasant drinking, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became active.
"Xiao Chen, I have some ideas to communicate with you. Let's talk there and leave it to them here. How about it? Just a moment!" Han Sanping said with a smile.
Chen Tian had known that this moment would come, and he didn't know what Han Sanping was thinking, but Chen Tian smiled and nodded with a happy attitude.
He stood up and followed Han Sanping to the booth on the left side of the private room. After they sat down, they were separated from the others in the private room.
"First of all, thank you for accepting my invitation to film. We have great expectations for "Raider" this time, and we also believe that you can make an excellent movie.
In fact, the movie is currently very popular. Our Chinese audience is looking forward to it." Han Sanping smiled and raised her wine glass, "Toast you!"
"Thank you, this is also one of my thoughts. Thank you Mr. Han for inviting me." Chen Tian raised his glass and Han Sanping to simply clink the glasses. Both of them took a sip.
"I wonder what you think of the Chinese film market? Also, if you are interested in cooperating with us for a long time, we will give you the convenience you can."
Chen Tian did not reply immediately, but pretended to think, and was very familiar with Chen Tian in the Chinese film market.
In his film industry, the Chinese film market occupies a very important position, which is also one of the important reasons why he agreed to come to China to film "The Raid".
"The current Chinese film market is still in its infancy and is far from mature.
The 1.3 billion population of China is currently only one-hundred or even less. Therefore, the Chinese film market has unlimited potential.
As long as we guide and develop correctly, the future of the Chinese film market can be expected."
"Then what kind of guidance do you think should be correct? Good movies? Introduce more foreign blockbusters?"
Han Sanping had already had his own ideas about these issues. He wanted to hear Chen Tian’s opinion and to confirm further whether he would cooperate with Chen Tian at a deeper level.
From his understanding of Chen Tian, at least so far, Chen Tian has not only performed well in movies, but also has keen insights in the film industry and even in business.
He hoped that what he knew was not an illusion, so he wanted to examine Chen Tian from the most basic perspective.
"First of all, developing people's movie-watching habits, and this habit may be more about cultivating their consciousness in the next five or even ten years. This consciousness is not just about watching movies as part of life entertainment, but about allowing them to create that watching movies is a high-end activity.
This is the only way for any film market to grow rapidly in the early stages of growth. Only when people are completely accustomed to movies and become part of their lives will the film market mature at that time, just like the North American market is now.
At the same time, high-quality videos are indispensable. I hope to increase the number of foreign films, but I know that it is unrealistic. So let’s start with domestic films.
The idea of throwing away the film and just serving the awards is to make the movies steadily.”
Chen Tian’s down-to-earth filming is completely in Han Sanping’s heart. At present, except for many Chinese filmmakers, they are basically down-to-earth filming for awards.
But once the film market develops, he can imagine that such people will be greatly reduced.
"In addition, to increase the number of screens, even the number of theaters, if people want to enter the theater, they need to have enough theaters.
In the short term, it may increase costs, but in the long term it will be beneficial." Chen Tian is very clear about the increase in the number of screens in China in later generations.
In 2003, the number of screens in China was less than 2,300 yuan, and since then, it has been moving forward slowly like a snail, even though the film market is making progress little by little, the number of screens has not improved much.
It was not until the release of the film "The Golden Armor in the City" was released in 2006, and it was not until the 4,000 mark that it was broken through.
In 2009, the lowest price was not more than 5,000 yuan, but the turning point in the Chinese film market was that it occurred in early 2010.
"Avatar" was released in China, which directly caused a scene of hard to get a ticket.
Stimulated by huge box office benefits and visual senses, the imax scalpers of "Avatar" were once sold at five or six hundred yuan per ticket.
It was the emergence of this epoch-making blockbuster "Avatar" that caused the Chinese theaters to expand 3D screens in a crazily manner. By the end of 2010, the total number of screens across the country soared to more than 6,200 yuan.
It has risen by more than 1,500 yuan in a year, which is unprecedented. When "Avatar" swept the world's box office, it also opened up the most critical screen count in the Chinese film market.
The growth of China's screen has been out of control at this point. It took less than two years to officially break through the 10,000 mark, and by 2014, it even broke through the 20,000 mark.
While reaching half of the number of screens in the United States, the Chinese film market officially defeated Japan and became the second largest movie box office market in the world, and the total annual movie box office exceeded 30 billion.
By 2017, when Chen Tian traveled through time, the number of screens in the Chinese film market had reached nearly 40,000 yuan, and the total box office output almost caught up with the United States.
