Chapter 32 Records of the Shanghai Film Festival (Part 1) (1/5)
When making filming in Orange Cinemas, you usually give yourself some resources to the movies produced by the company.
When "Moon 2" was released, Orange Theater gave 10% more screening than the market - it was when "Speed 8" swept the film market.
But it also needs to be regulated based on the movie itself. The online ticket sales of "The Great Protector" is too poor. Even if you give it a few more halls, you can't sell it...
The story of "The Great Protector" is a bit cruel. The poster has clearly stated that "children are not suitable for watching movies". Online sales also wrote these words...
But many people turn a blind eye...
Lu Xiaoran likes "The Great Protector" very much and has asked them to quickly make the next two.
Anyway, I didn't lose anything, so let's continue doing it.
It is an organic supplementary part of the 'Fengshen Series'.
As for "The Glitter Girl", its first-day schedule is 18%.
Don’t think that 18% is very small. On the 20th, although "Transformers 5" has not been released, "Alien Contract", "New Mummy" and "Wonder Woman" are raging on the market...
——"Transformers 5" will be released on the 23rd...
"The Flash Girl" starts painting three days in advance.
...
The Shanghai Film Festival is getting more and more decent. Many movies are coming to promote, and many people have also come to Orange.
Lu Xiaoran led the crew of "Invincible" down the red carpet - Zhou Runfa, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Ziyi are all here...
By the way, "Wushuang" is scheduled to be released on September 29th.
"It should have been five years ago, when we wanted to find another crime subject to filming. When we were searching for information online for research, we unexpectedly found a lot of cases about making counterfeit money. I was watching the process of those people making counterfeit money, and it felt very similar to filming movies. We were all making counterfeits, and what we were pursuing was how to make counterfeit money very real.
Then we collected information on these counterfeit banknote cases and saw several people from it. We found that they were very enthusiastic about making counterfeit banknotes, that is, everyone wanted to make "super US dollar bills". What is "super US dollar bills"? Even the people in charge of managing banknotes in the US Central Bank cannot see a fake US dollar bill that is true or false. I saw their motivations in these cases, and I felt a little touched by me, so I wanted to write such a story."
"When I was young, it should be said that our generation grew up with Zhou Runfa's movies. I watched "The True Heroes" in the summer, and then I watched "The True Heroes" countless times. I also watched "The True Heroes 3" which everyone thinks is not so good. One thing I often want to do is to use the theme song of "The True Heroes 3" to write a movie. So working with Brother Fa is like a fate that you can never escape."
"We decided on Brother Fa first, then found Ziyi, and then Boss Yang suggested why not find Liang Jiahui to play the opposite scene?"
"I gave the script to Teacher Jiahui. He only read it once and said he must act..."
"It just so happens that my favorite Hong Kong film is "Prison Storm". Look, isn't it a coincidence?"
"The greatest happiness of being a director is to work with the actors you want to work with!"
After saying a lot of publicity words, Lu Xiaoran took a bus to the forum unit.
He came to the Film Festival to show off and listen to others' pretentiousness...
Sometimes you can still hear some insightful theories!
Lao Yu is one of them...
People in the martial arts world are called "the strong-mouthed king", leaving behind "the future film companies will work for bat", "the young and handsome guys cannot save Chinese movies", "If Bona doesn't work, I'll sell it to Wang Jianlin," "80 million US dollars to invest in "Midway Island"...
The last one was announced in Cannes!
...
Unfortunately, Lao Yu didn't come this year...
Are you busy raising funds from Caa - an investment of 80 million US dollars is enough for him to have a drink!
This year's theme is: Chinese films are taking off...
Take off your sister!
Didn't you see that domestic movies were beaten up in the first half of the year and were defeated?
Yu Yongfu, chairman of Ali Films, said first: "The three high industries with high capital, talents and high risks are highly concentrated. This industry is a combination of rationality and sensibility, but our ultimate goal is to reach users through good content. The final decision of the industry is in the hands of users, and they will use time and money to vote."
Wang Changtian: "This industry is suffering serious losses, but it has been in the industry with the most first class cabins, stayed in the most five-star hotels, held the most parties, posted the most photos, and posted photos when discussing a project. It seems like how great things are to do. Many people have annual salary of more than 1 million yuan. How many industries can support it? There are 14,000 film and television companies in China. It's too much!"
Lao Wang is a very ideal and ambitious young man...
The main reason why he chose to resign from the TV station was that the program "Beijing Express" he produced criticized the XX Dafa in an episode, and was then sat in a silent protest by thousands of people...
The policy was not clear at that time, and the station gave him a treatment to stop reflecting. He stopped for two months as soon as he stopped, so he simply resigned!
Ye Ning: "Chinese directors are now the most enjoyable directors in the world. They are less and less budget restrictions, and they are less and less obedient to listen to producers because they have more money now. Directors are dealers, holding scripts, and raising ideas. This is wrong."
All right...
"I have different opinions from you. I think the Chinese film market is currently facing its first major crisis!"
Lu Xiaoran took over the microphone: "The sign of the crisis now is that the film industry has seen a significant reduction in funds, and many film companies are having difficulty in financing, movie listed companies cannot issue additional issuances, and issuing bonds is difficult, loan interest is constantly increasing, and social capital is unwilling to invest money because your investment returns are low, production costs continue to rise in this process, copyright sales continue to decline, etc."
"In the next one or two years, maybe thousands of film and television companies are going to go bankrupt!"
"Our biggest problem is information lag, or the biggest difficulty in the movie at the far left is information lag, because it takes at least one year to make a movie. So what changes will happen to the market information in this year? No one knows!"
"It's like a fan movie. It reached its peak in 2015. You can find a young actor and shoot a MV and get hundreds of millions of box offices. Then, a large number of shoddy movies that are purely aimed at harvesting fans are filled with the screen. This situation continued until the National Day holiday in 2016, and the box office saw its first negative growth in the past decade."
"The highly anticipated fan harvester "Jade Trace" failed miserably at the box office, replaced by "Shameful Iron Fist". The fan economy has encountered an unprecedented impact, but there is also a saying that fan movies that are just good at it have entered a bottleneck period."
"When we were chatting, we all said that this was a good thing. It was because of the "adjustment period" of domestic films from 2015 to 2016 that more and more filmmakers returned to the film creation itself, respecting the creation and artistic rules of the film, and making quality and content the main theme of film creation."
"The problem is that many investors think they just found the wrong actor. Would it be better if I changed to Lu Han?"
"…Of course, more investors simply choose to say goodbye to the film industry!"
Chapter completed!
