From the east of Big Wild Goose Pagoda Plaza is the famous Xiying Road. A road is named after a film factory. I wonder if there is a second one in the country.

No matter how the world is in trouble, I will remain unmoved.

In fact, since the establishment of Xi'an Film Group in 2009, there are almost no movies that can be called well and are well-known in terms of its main business. Perhaps the only one that can be mentioned is last year's "White Deer Plain"...

120 million investment, less than 100 million box office...

Xiying also wants to follow the Qujiang model, want to build a film circle + Xiying's film industry cluster...

Relying on the advantages of the main business, seeking multi-wheel drive is the development path of all leading enterprises!

However, Xi'an Film Studio's main business is not doing well!

In a diversified layout, the main business is placed in the "rental" position...

If the main business is not done well, how can we drive the development of other industries?

Interestingly, in the commercial cooperation column of Xiying Group's official website, commercial cooperation is topped by the option of equipment rental, and script collection is placed in the last item...

...

Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang watched the movie together, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons"...

At this time, six years have passed since Stephen Chow's last movie "Yangtze River 7".

The audience's perception of Stephen Chow is still based on the impression of the king of comedy. The movie slogan "Ten thousand years are too long, I have to seize the day" has also driven the audience's expectations for "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons".

At least it has driven Lu Xiaoran's expectations...

In fact, the chapter on Journey to the West is not a classic, but it really contains some of Stephen Chow’s private goods...

His ex-girlfriend Luo Huijuan died in 2012.

Zhou Heluo filmed a TV series called "The Legend of the World" in 1989, in which Stephen Chow played the male lead named Duan Fei.

In the Demon Subduing Chapter, the roles starring Shu Qi are actually the daughter of the heroine played by Duan Fei and Luo Huijuan...

The first day of the year, the 83 million yuan was collected!

Shocked the entire movie industry!

The first day was 83 million, which was simply...

I can only say that Stephen Chow is awesome!

Zhang Yibai was in trouble. He found a bunch of actors to tinker with "Better and Better Spring Festival Gala" directly abandoned by theaters - this movie is a bad movie, it doesn't matter whether he will give up!

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but pull Tangtang to watch the movie in person...

The script belongs to a typical "Zhou Xingchi" three-section structure.

vs Sha Monk, vs Zhu Gangli, vs Sun Wukong...

This kind of script was written long ago in "Kung Fu": the trio vs. the Axe Gang, the landlord, the landlord vs. the Qin Mo Tian Jian Di, the last paragraph, A Xing vs. the Fire Cloud Evil God...

The main plot of "The Demon Subduing" is the emotional line between Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan, which is connected and has a constant large and small number.

It's just that there's not enough jokes!

It was not until Huang Bo appeared that there was a joke: "I held two watermelon knives in my hand and chopped from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road. I cut back and forth for three days and three nights. It was blood flowing like a river, but I didn't even blink my eyes!"

"For such a long time, will your eyes be dry..."

The audience burst into laughter...

This is the unique skill of a comedian!

Among all types of films, comedy movies rely the most on the actors' own expression, which is completely different from idol dramas that "have insufficient acting skills and are good-looking."

The same plot is interpreted by two people with different performance skills, and the effects are often very different.

Sun Wukong, played by Huang Bo, said in the cave: "Where the hell can I go?"

At first glance, how could an ordinary sentence make the audience burst into hilarious?

It can only be attributed to Brother Bo’s awesomeness!

...

Walking out of the cinema, Lu Xiaoran looked at the audience who were queuing up one after another, and sighed: "This movie will definitely exceed one billion!"

Tangtang gave him a blank look: "...I also know that many people predict that it will reach 1.5 billion now!"

She is also a professional producer, and she understands how to predict the box office!

Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "1.5 billion is unlikely!"

"Why?"

"Half a month later, at the Hobbit meeting, there will be "Jack Detective", "Les Miserables", "Robbery Suspicion", and "Resident Evil 5" next month. These movies will definitely be diverted..."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoran sighed: "It was supposed to be spent 500 million to release the "Demon Subduing Chapter" at the time!"

"Five hundred million guaranteed?"

"Huayi has guaranteed 300 million yuan and won the mainland issuance rights of "The Demon Subduing"..."

The so-called guaranteed release is also called box office guarantee, which refers to the film publisher's commitment to the producer to achieve a certain box office.

Generally speaking, for popular films, the film publisher will make market estimates in advance and set prices that both parties can accept, that is, the guaranteed box office.

If the guaranteed box office exceeds the guaranteed box office, the producer will share the accounts with the issuer according to the agreed number. If it does not exceed the amount, it will pay a certain amount of money according to the proportion negotiated in advance.

"Then why don't you take it?"

"...I haven't had time to talk about it, Stephen Chow has signed a contract, and I always think that guaranteed distribution is a bad thing for the film industry. You see, the movie has not been released yet, so I have divided the money, so who should..."

"Canised haws, I want to eat candied haws!"

Lu Xiaoran swallowed the next words into his stomach: "...Okay, I'll buy it for you!"

...

Brothers Huayi finally raised their heads for a while!

With the release of "The Demon Subduing Chapter", Huayi's stock price also began to soar...

Last year's New Year holiday, "Lost in Thailand" suddenly exploded, disrupting the original plan of Huayi Brothers!

At that time, in order to make way for "1942", the postponed release of "The Twelve Zodiacs" had to face the attacks of Bona's "Big Shanghai" and Xingmei's "Blood Drops", and had to fight with "Lost in Thailand"!

Cheng Long also faces a lot of negative news...

But "The Twelve Zodiac Signs" sold for more than 800 million, and "Journey to the West" has at least more than 1 billion at present!

"Lost in Thailand" is great, but "The Twelve Zodiacs" and "Journey to the West" are almost 2 billion...

"The Demons" first day was 83 million, and its box office on Valentine's Day on February 14 reached 123 million yuan, breaking the highest single-day box office record of 112 million yuan maintained by "Transformers 3" in one fell swoop, setting a "one-day box office record in Chinese film history."

According to incomplete statistics, during the 7-day Spring Festival holiday, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" in the total box office of cinemas across the country contributed 500 million yuan, making it the best in the Spring Festival period.

Huayi Brothers took advantage of the situation to launch the 2013 movie plan: "The Great Tsunami", "The Loyal and Martyr Yang Family Generals", "City Control Plan", "Baseball Mingxing", "Die Renjie Prequel: Dragon King of the God City", "Private Customization", "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman"...

By the way, it proposed 'de-filmization!'

Huang Zhongjun said directly: If you only do box office in the future, I think this company will go astray, and Huayi must not only do movies.

A reporter asked Zhong Lifang, who emphasized: Everything about Orange revolves around the film layout, we do content, this is the foundation of our foothold and a traditional advantage. Is it still called a film company if it is de-film?

Publicly challenge Huayi...

Why openly challenge?

Not because Huayi's market value once again exceeds that of Orange Image...

For the time being, the two major private media companies in the mainland are Orange PK Huayi!

According to the market 7:2:1, the real Longtu companies account for 70% - both Orange and Huayi have proposed a market value target plan of 100 billion yuan.

Whoever grabs 70% first will be the leader...

That will successfully break the trillions!

Orange gave up this year's Spring Festival period, which is indeed a bit irrational...

But then again, even if you can release a new film, it may not necessarily prevent "The Demon Subduing Chapter"...

Why did Zhong Lifang come forward to respond?
Chapter completed!
