Chapter 109 Propaganda (3/5)

Industry monopoly, especially the film industry, is not an easy issue to judge, and it is difficult to reach consensus: different positions, environments, and times may have completely different judgments.

If you want to talk about orange monopoly, what about Zhongying?

However, from the perspective of consumers, we feel that all acts that infringe on the interests of the audience should be controlled, but as a corporate entity supporting the film industry, it seems that nothing wrong to seek legitimate interests.

Cinemas and distribution belong to the same group, and they will inevitably be called a destructive name...

Lu Xiaoran knew that things like theaters will soon encounter new challenges in the market ecology!

In the past, cinemas were built in shopping malls. The so-called shopping malls mean business districts, including retail, clothing, major hotels, etc.

In the future, the role of shopping malls may be reduced infinitely, takeout, online shopping...

That night, in the next three to five years, the movie will still be the core of the mall’s ecological environment, but what about it afterwards?

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran wanted to do it once and for all, so he simply sold the theaters to Dadi when it could not be listed...

However, the board of directors is optimistic that the box office of theaters will exceed 52 billion this year. Everyone believes that theaters will definitely exceed 60 billion next year. theaters are high-quality assets...

It cannot be said that it is wrong, the market is growing too fast, and everyone is a little overly optimistic...

...

Lu Xiaoran was preparing to take the idol route before, so he took the initiative to stand on the stage without moving. After standing for a while, he changed his direction slightly, which would ensure that fans would be very clear when taking photos from any angle and using any photo equipment.

but…

The road show in front of the Yingying is really boring, because the movie audience has not watched the movie yet.

The audience cannot even ask questions from the movies, they can only put forward some interesting stories about shooting, their thoughts on cooperation between actors, and entertainment gossip...

Awkward chat...

But with Lu Xiaoran here, there was no embarrassment. He complained about "Nine-Level Demon Tower" with movie fans...

"I didn't look down on any director...it's just for the performance of the show..."

"And I really think "Nine-Level Demon Tower" was not well filmed!"

"...Have you seen director Lu Chuan's exclusive interview? He said that he had always wanted to shoot science fiction and Chinese superheroes. Then, he imposed his ideas on the fans, imposed on the ghost blowing light head, and then successfully destroyed the movie..."

An audience member stood up: "My comment on director Lu Chuan: This person likes to show off, but this person doesn't have the skills to show off..."

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "You can't say that, he is an author-type director..."

"What is an author-type director?"

"The theory proposed by the "Movie Manual" is that a director should possess as much weight as a writer should possess in his own work."

"Are you not the author director?"

"I can't say that I'm more willing to follow industrial logic when making movies. "Operation Mekong" is a commercial film..."

"Who do you think is the most powerful author and director?"

"The author-type director is of course the most powerful one is Nolan, who structures his ideas on Hollywood's powerful industry!"

"Academic directors advocate artistic films and despise Hollywood-style "industrial films". Therefore, even if the "commercial blockbusters" they made have a beautiful and glamorous outer layer, they gathered the most dazzling group of stars in the Chinese film industry, and they are just some "four-no-like" works that are neither literary nor commercial. This is the limitation of the times... They have always done this!"

"I'm lucky than them. I first understood the truth that movies must be profitable..."

Why are you so elegant?

Because this roadshow is broadcast by Fujixun Live, the current roadshow usually cooperates with the live broadcast platform...

The final part of the roadshow must be a group photo with the audience, announcing the successful end, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its highest point.

...

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiaoran accepted an exclusive interview with "Southern Weekend" at the hotel, mainly focusing on "Operation Mekong":

"Actually, it was a complete accident for me to shoot Operation Mekong. There was no such project in my film plan. Later, the Ministry of Public Security met me and proposed it. I was very interested, and then took over the project."

"I have been working with the Ministry of Public Security since "Saving Mr. Wu". Films like "Operation Mekong" are major themes. Without the escort of the Ministry of Public Security, I would not dare to shoot them!"

“The scale is very large!”

"How to say it?"

"In previous police and gangster films, we had to avoid many sensitive issues, but this time, "Mekong" brought some real details and untouchable restricted areas to the big screen, such as in addition to drug abuse, baby soldiers, killing prisoners, headshots, and human bombs. These large-scale shots that are full of bloody and violent are presented."

"If graded, Operation Mekong is definitely considered R-level!"

“…How can I pass the review?”

"Operation Mekong is a major theme. You should know that all the films are divided into two types. One is an ordinary theme and the other is an important theme. Photoelectric review of films with general themes; any major historical events involving states in power are major themes... As long as the Ministry of Public Security agrees, I can shoot it!"

"Is there any help provided by the Ministry of Public Security in addition to review?"

"I told a lot of secrets that I couldn't tell, and provided a lot of first-hand top-secret information and insider information that was inconvenient to be exposed at the time. I provided support in props and equipment to improve the film's details restoration."

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran added one more thing: "My initial positioning was to make standards for shooting top commercial blockbusters. I told the Ministry of Public Security that the opening of Hollywood blockbusters were the White House and the Pentagon. Can I let me shoot ** and the Ministry of Public Security..."

"Did they support it?"

"Of course, they were very pleased and said that this was a serious national case, so the opening plot was really filmed at the North Gate and ** of the Ministry of Public Security."

“…Back to the initial topic, are you interested?”

"Yes, I'm very interested!"

"Why?"

"You can check the Mekong River case back then, thirteen lives! The sewage poured by criminals on them... It was the motherland that washed away their grievances, defended their dignity, and gave them a cleansing of innocence."

"I want to tell these people through such a movie that the reason why you can't see the darkness is because countless brave people block the darkness in places you can't see. There is no peaceful time, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."

"And, there are some people whom you don't praise, no one in the world knows their existence, no one knows what sacrifices they have made to protect our national security."

The next two sentences, Lu Xiaoran posted them directly on Weibo: There is no such thing as peace of time, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden on you.
