Chapter 226 New Year's Visitor
Because of her back injury, the young lady was not too greedy, and the two of them fell asleep after putting fireworks in their heads twice.

Fortunately, the opening ceremony of "The Wind" was scheduled for noon the next day, otherwise Cheng Yu'an would definitely not be able to get up.

Yuan Huayi's "The Wind" adopts a sequential filming mode, and the actors' scripts are given day by day, and they only know what will be filmed the next day the day before.

It's a gimmicky thing to do, but it's not the normal way to make a movie.

Cheng Yu'an didn't shoot smoothly, but for the sake of confidentiality, the script was indeed given on a daily basis.

After the filming of the day, the actors will be required to hand in the script, and they are not allowed to keep it privately to prevent leaks.

According to the overall plan, "The Wind" is expected to be filmed for 4 months, which is the longest filming time among all the films Cheng Yu'an has made.

"The Martian" has only been filmed for a little over 3 months.

The young lady seemed flustered when she had nothing to do in the hotel, and went back within two days.

Cheng Yu'an was finally able to sleep well, without having to be tossed by her after the show.

Before his girlfriend left, Cheng Yuan specifically asked her: "You played enough last year, and "Inception" will be released after a while. Take time to read some books on psychology and architecture. Dreamer 'Adrian demands to understand this."

"I know, I'll be ready when I go back."

With the young lady gone, Cheng Yu'an was finally able to devote himself fully to the filming of "The Wind".

Nolan is traveling abroad and doesn't need Cheng Yu'an to take care of him. He will come to Dalian to meet Cheng Yu'an when he has had enough fun.

Cheng Yuan's photographer has always been Qin Ranqiu, but Qin Ranqiu did not follow "The Wind". One is that "The Martian" needs him at the end of the special effects, and the other is that his daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs him to serve.

So I plan to rest for two years, wait for the child to be born, and then make plans after the wedding.

For "The Wind", Cheng Yu'an first approached Mr. Zhao Xiaoding, Zhang Yimou's royal photographer, but Mr. Zhao had already signed "Assassin's Tomb", and later wanted to find Gu Changwei through Jiang Wenli. Cao Yu from the Film Academy.

Cheng Yu'an is in Dalian day and night, and the circle is busier because of the end of the year.

A press conference was held remotely as usual to summarize last year's achievements.

Last year was a relatively low-key year for the remote, and the three TV series "Latent", "My Leader, My Team" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" have not yet been broadcast.

But the performance of the film is very good, "Painted Skin" broke 2 million, and "Ip Man" successfully defeated "Mei Lanfang" in the Lunar New Year file with a score of 1.3 million.

Yuanqiu Films acquired Golden Harvest Entertainment, opening up theaters for remote media.

At the press conference, Cheng Lingfeng informed the outside world of the ongoing project: "Director Cheng's new film "The Wind" is being filmed and is expected to be completed in May. It will be scheduled for this year's National Day, a gift for the 5th anniversary of the motherland."

"The special effects of "The Martian" have come to an end. It is estimated that all the special effects production will be completed in March, and it will take another 3-5 months for the rest of the post-production. The film will be completed in August at the latest."

"Mr. Cheng, "The Martian" is also a gift film. It was said earlier that it will be released on National Day. Will it conflict with "The Wind"?"

Cheng Lingfeng replied: "The Martian is very special. We have communicated with the General Administration to postpone the release. We will inform you of the specific time and the results."

"Mr. Cheng, is there any new progress regarding the cooperation between "Tron: Legacy" and Disney?"

""Tron: Legacy" is not a company project." Cheng Lingfeng said with a smile, "Cheng Dao's company in Hollywood has always been managed by him personally, and it is not within the scope of remote management."

The only connection between Yuanyuan and a big film company is that both of their bosses are Cheng Yuan, other than that the two companies have no connection at all.

Then, Guo Fei, Director of TV Drama Department of Long-distance, came to the stage and announced the plan of Long-distance TV series in 09:

"Next year, the company will launch three TV dramas, namely "A Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-law", "Before Dawn" and "Snow Leopard". Please look forward to it."

Film plans were not announced at the press conference.

Throughout the press conference, the film list was announced, and Cheng Lingfeng did not announce the company's overall revenue for the past year - Long-distance has not yet been listed, so it is not obliged to announce the income and expenditure.

It is only said that in the coming year, the main focus of the remote will be the construction of theaters and the production of film and television.

The timing of Yuanqiu's acquisition of Golden Harvest may be good or bad.

The original plan was to purchase local theaters for renovation, and then combine Yuanqiu's own new theaters, both simultaneously.

Under the influence of the global financial crisis, the real estate market was hit hard, and Yuanqiu's theater construction plan was very difficult.

I even thought about stopping a project or two to catch my breath.

But soon, the 4 trillion bailout funds were poured down, and the real estate market came alive directly!

Yuanqiu Films is rich again!

As the first entertainment company to go public in the Mainland, Yuan Qiu received a large amount of money, and with this money, Yuan Qiu let go.

When Yuanqiu acquired Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest had 33 movie theaters in Asia, with a total of 260 theaters, and 11 in the mainland.

Since the beginning of this year, Yuanqiu has temporarily held Golden Harvest's overseas theaters, and even sold some theaters because of the financial crisis to provide blood transfusions for mainland construction.

After getting the money, Yuanqiu Films focused on the construction of theaters in the mainland, and raised the number of theaters from 11 to 30 in one go.

And focus on launching flagship theaters in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, spend a lot of money to upgrade equipment, and create IMAX flagship experience.

It’s not that I don’t know, but after all the calculations, building a theater really costs money!

A standard cinema counts 5 cinema halls, 100 seats per hall, plus costs such as water, electricity, rent, staff wages, etc., and a cinema starts at 2000 million.

Even if there is a subsidy, a theater will cost 1700 million to win.

Throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into it costs more than Cheng Yu'an's making a movie.

Cheng Yu’an has his own plan for the construction of theater chains. Yuanqiu Jiahe should not make it too big. If it is too big, it will easily cause financial constraints. The core business of Yuanqiu is always film production. In the next ten years, it will be done slowly to reach 200 theaters , 1000 screens up and down will do.

With such a number, it should be no problem to enter the top 20 in the country.

He really can't compare to Wanda, a shopping mall built by people is a movie theater. When Cheng Yuan traveled through, Wanda had more than 600 directly-operated theaters in China, with 5400 screens, second only to Dadi.

……

Chinese New Year is very early this year, thirty on 1.25.

Cheng Yu'an was filming in Dalian, so he couldn't rush back to the capital to spend the New Year with the old man.

Yifei originally said that he would come to accompany him to celebrate the New Year, but was held down by Liu's mother.

"Senior brother, senior brother, you know your senior brother, even those who celebrate Chinese New Year don't want to accompany mom."

Liu Yifei was embarrassed, so she could only suppress her throbbing heart and obediently accompany her mother during the New Year.

The New Year in the north is quite strong, and the weather in Dalian is also good. Cheng Yu'an gave the crew a day off.

Then, with Young Master Zhou and Pan Yueming, leaving aside their assistant and manager, the three of them played in the center of DL all day.

I will return at night.

When he came back, his assistant Xiao Zheng came over and said, "Wanda's Mr. Zeng is here."
