Chapter 1183 Surprise(1/2)
Not two days after the Golden Dragon Award, Yang Ming once again became the focus of entertainment news.
But this time, he did not appear in the news reports as a loser, but as a success.
Director You Gang's cooperation with Oriental DreamWorks, and "Bitter Water", the Golden Dragon Award's best film, will be released in theaters under Donghai Cinemas, making Yang Ming the biggest winner of this Golden Dragon Award.
Basically every award-winning film has a direct connection with Oriental DreamWorks.
Everyone in the entertainment industry was dumbfounded by this sudden change, and at the same time they were impressed by Yang Ming's overriding tactics.
Even if Yang Ming claimed in an interview with reporters that it was not a deliberate plan, but a normal business cooperation, it did not have much effect.
Who believes it!
Anyway, the media doesn't believe it. Even if it is true as Yang Ming said, they are not willing to report it like this.
Therefore, even after many media reporters blocked Yang Ming from the Tiannan crew and obtained interviews and reports, they did not have much explanation effect.
When Yang Ming saw this, he didn't bother to explain. He loved so and so. No matter what he said now, the information interpreted from the media was not the truth.
In this case, he didn't bother to accept any interviews.
After filming the Tiannan scenes, the crew returned to Yanjing. There were also some indoor dramas that could be filmed in Yanjing.
According to this progress, it is estimated that the entire drama will be completed and transferred to post-production in less than half a month.
Yang Ming calculated the time, and the entire film should be completed before June, so that it can be released in time for the summer vacation in July.
After returning to Yanjing, he was no longer under as much pressure as when he was filming, and he already had a lot of free time to spend with Su Su.
Yang Ming did not film and direct the movie "Fast and Furious", but only had the identity of a director. According to the plan, this movie will definitely be made into a series.
He didn't want to be like "Transformers", where he was self-filmed and directed, and ended up being tied to this movie, making it impossible to escape.
After "The Fast and the Furious" is released, he will immediately start preparing for the sequel to "Transformers" and hurry up to shoot it and release it in time for the Spring Festival, without even a moment's rest.
If he hadn't filmed and directed it himself, he could have written out the script and given it to other directors to make the sequel.
Therefore, he also made a decision in his heart. As long as the films are made into a series in the future, he will not self-film or direct. At best, he will direct the first film to pave the way for the success of the series, and then leave it to other companies in the company.
The director is responsible.
If you shoot a subject repeatedly for a long time, you will also get aesthetic fatigue.
This afternoon, after filming a scene ended early, Yang Ming has been staring at the monitor in the theater to watch today's scene.
See if there are any areas that need to be re-photographed.
Just as he was looking at it, Huang Tingzhi quietly walked up to him and said something in Yang Ming's ear.
"Mr. Yang, it's almost time. The screening of "Bitter Water" at the Yiyuan Cinema is about to begin. We should get ready to go."
When Yang Ming heard this, he was stunned, and then he remembered that today was the date for the online screening of "Bitter Water" at Yiyuan Cinema. Although there was no screening ceremony, whether as the boss of Oriental DreamWorks or Donghai Cinema,
The boss behind the scenes, he should appear at the scene.
After he returned to Yanjing, he had not yet met Director You Gang. Due to both emotions and reasons, he should take advantage of this opportunity to support the newly awarded Golden Dragon Award for Best Director.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "Okay, let's pack up and head to the cinema later."
When Huang Tingzhi heard Yang Ming's words, he glanced at Yang Ming's body and asked curiously: "Mr. Yang, are you just going to wear this?"
There is another sentence that he did not say. Although there will be no premiere of "Bitter Water" today, there will definitely be no shortage of guests and media reporters coming to support it.
When Yang Ming was dressed like this, it was inevitable that no one would gossip.
Yang Ming heard Huang Tingzhi's question, glanced at himself, then laughed, and while packing his things, he said, "It's okay, just wear this."
Maybe because the filming of "The Fast and the Furious" has gone very smoothly these days, and it's almost coming to an end, Yang Ming couldn't help but feel relaxed, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, for me, even if I wear a T-shirt or jeans, it's...
Fashion; to others, even wearing the most expensive suits and dresses in the world is just old-fashioned!”
After saying this, he turned around and patted Huang Tingzhi on the shoulder, and said: "Just like whatever a successful person says is right, whatever a loser says is just fart! Haha!"
Huang Tingzhi almost fainted when he heard Yang Ming's words. He really didn't expect Yang Ming, who had always been steady and mature, to say such words.
But this sentence seems to make more sense the more I think about it.
He smiled helplessly and then helped Yang Ming pack his things.
As a work assistant, just listen to the boss anyway, Huang Tingzhi didn't think too much.
On a busy street in Yanjing, there was a place where celebrities gathered and reporters gathered together.
"Bitter Water" is about to be officially launched in art theaters. This film has already been released in mainstream commercial theaters, so naturally there will be no so-called premiere.
However, in order to show that Oriental DreamWorks attaches great importance to this film, although it did not arrange a grand screening ceremony, it still invited many media to participate to increase the film's exposure and news topics.
In addition, You Gang also invited many friends from the industry to attend, and many well-known people in the film industry were also coming, so Yiyuan Cinema Line's theater in Yanjing simply did not develop to receive audiences.
No way, the theaters in the Yiyuan Cinema chain are not very big.
This art theater chain, which once had a certain history in the history of theater chains, has been operating at a loss in recent years. When it was in the hands of China Brothers Media, it was not taken seriously, ignored, and did not even have digital projection equipment.
Updates, not to mention renovations and expansions of the theater.
In the second half of last year, Yang Ming arranged for Li Dongyang to shut down the Yiyuan Cinema for renovation, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on it.
It's just that the theater's viewing environment and projection equipment have been updated.
The expansion of theaters is limited. Art Theater theaters are basically located in bustling streets or old cities, and there is basically no possibility of expansion.
Yang Ming also has no idea about expanding the Yiyuan theater chain.
In his view, art films are inherently niche and serve exclusively those audiences who like art films.
The base of these audiences is definitely not as good as the audience of commercial theaters, so there is no plan to expand on the basis of each theater under the Yiyuan Cinema Line. Instead, they will renovate and renovate on the original basis, update the projection equipment, and strive to make the Yiyuan Cinema Line maintain the same performance.
A brand new look has rejoined the theater chains of the Chinese film industry.
At least, the guests or the media who had already arrived made a sound of admiration after seeing the renovated art theater.
"What a big deal, Yang Ming seems to have really spent a lot of money."
"Oriental DreamWorks has a lot of money and no place to burn it, so they are spending so much money on art theaters."
"There is no way. The box office revenue of Yang Ming's two movies last year was enough to cover the revenue of several film companies. They are not short of money at all."
...
"Looking for some good angles to take photos, I really didn't expect that after the renovation of this art theater, the style has become so elegant. This change is simply earth-shaking."
"I have been to this art theater before. It is completely different. Carpets, murals, sculptures. This is not a cinema. Why does it feel like I have entered an exhibition hall?"
"Have you ever been to the movie theater inside? I came earlier. I've already walked around and took a few photos. It's completely different. All the equipment is new. I guess even those in commercial theaters
Flagship theaters may not necessarily be able to keep up with the current art theater chain in terms of environment."
“Too bourgeoisie!”
.....
Petty bourgeoisie, elegant.
Many guests and media reporters were talking about the renovated Yiyuan Cinema, and they all showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Or it's a bit difficult to understand.
It’s hard to understand why Yang Ming paid such a high price for an art theater chain?
Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this, right?
Who doesn’t know that art theaters have long since declined and are gradually being eliminated from the film industry. Even though art theaters were at their peak twenty years ago, they still cannot stop the development of the times.
At present, it is estimated that there are only two or three art theater chains in China's film industry that are still surviving. The other art theater chains have either transformed into commercial theater chains early, or they have closed down and gone bankrupt.
No one expected that Yang Ming would put so much thought into an art theater chain.
Shangguantian is also here today.
At the beginning, Yang Ming took advantage of Maoyan Movies to acquire Yiyuan Cinemas from China Brothers Media.
Huaxia Brothers Media did not pay attention to Yang Mingyao, an art theater chain that has been suffering from losses. This art theater chain is losing money every year, and its equipment is old, the environment is poor, and the space is small. In addition to the land, it may
It's still worth a bit of money, but there is no possibility of transforming into a commercial theater chain.
After some internal discussion within the company, we decided that it would not be a big deal to leave the burden of Art Garden Cinema to Oriental DreamWorks.
Anyway, the company does not lack the resources of commercial theaters.
However, now that Yang Ming has spent so much money to renovate and renovate the Yiyuan Cinema, Shangguantian, who came to the scene in person today, has to be suspicious.
To be honest, if media reporters hadn't suddenly reported the news that "Bitter Water" would be released in the Yiyuan Cinema in the past few days, he would have forgotten about the Yiyuan Cinema.
It won't be recalled from his memory at all.
After seeing the news in the media, Shangguan Genius remembered that this art theater seemed to have been an art theater sold to Yang Ming by Huaxia Brothers Media.
Suddenly, he was shocked.
However, what makes Shangguan Tian most incredible is that "Bitter Water" will continue to be released in art theaters after commercial theaters are offline. This news makes him extremely puzzled.
Although he didn't have much contact with Yang Ming, a young man, he had a deep understanding of Yang Ming's thoughts when he took one step and looked ten steps away.
Even though he is too young, this young man must not be treated with ordinary thinking. Anyone who underestimates this guy will definitely suffer a big loss.
To be continued...
