From traffic to movie star

Chapter 458 Rushing to Cannes
After the new year, some people in the media also noticed that something was wrong in the entertainment industry.

"The sky-high salary of celebrities is becoming more and more exaggerated. A certain TV series starred in a drama with a salary exceeding [-] million yuan. Major film companies have tightened their start-up projects. The small-budget TV drama market and variety show market are booming."

"The Film Bureau is talking about the disadvantages of ticket supplements. It is rumored that the state intends to control the ticket supplement market. The development prospects of online ticketing software such as Panda Tickets and Buy Tickets are a mystery."

"Directors Kang Cheng and Bao Qiang joined Gaomei to direct the start-up of "Chain Saw 2". Director Shao Bing entered the Golden Lion to work as an assistant to Hollywood's first-line director Salman. Huaxia's young directors began to move to Hollywood."

"Medal Media has made a big move in the next year, creating a publicity and distribution department and a variety show department. It is suspected that it has meddled in the movie publicity and variety show production industry."

After the star studio system, the problem of sky-high film remuneration began to erupt.

Coupled with the catalysis of the post-traffic era, the value of some celebrities has directly risen to a very exaggerated level, and the traffic market is even more unbelievable than in previous years, and the entire industry has been messed up.

But it is also an indispensable part of the development of China's film and television industry.

Because we have to first expand and become chaotic, and when the cold winter of film and television comes, the flow of fooling the audience will fall one after another, the capital market will lose money and go bankrupt, and when the industry is getting more and more severe, people will wave their money and want to make quick money. The capital side calmed down and realized a simple problem that they couldn't understand before.

Audiences are not easy to fool.

Capitalists who try to fool the audience will eventually fool themselves.

When this false prosperity is shattered and the winter of film and television is over, it is the time when China's film and television industry begins to transform.The traffic that depends on face to eat can still survive in the market, but in the future, the era when you just want to rely on face to be able to rise to the top and stand at the top of the entertainment circle to stir up wind and rain will be gone forever.

This is also the real reason why the film industry began to shrink ahead of time before the winter of film and television came, and major companies did not dare to spend money at will.

Because the film industry has entered the 'boutique era' ahead of schedule under the catalysis of Wei Xun.

Random investment projects to fool the audience to make money will only lose everything.

But just when various film companies were tremblingly planning to take the high-quality line and invest cautiously, Xunzhang Media suddenly released a shocking thunderstorm in the film industry, which shocked the entire film industry.

Not long after the start of construction, the Media Department of Jutong Film and Television and the Media Department of Medal Media jointly issued such a film project planning announcement.

"Medal Media and Jutong Film and Television (subsidiary of Jutong Holdings) plan to jointly invest [-] million Huaxia coins to make a sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth". This film is directed by Wei Xun and produced by Zou Min. It is now open to the entire film Recruit suitable actors."

As soon as this joint investment statement came out, it immediately detonated the entire entertainment circle.

6 billion investment!

Big-budget sci-fi!

In recent years, China's film market has expanded rapidly, and the recovery ratio has become increasingly astonishing, but there really is no film and television company that dares to spend [-] million yuan to make a movie!
It's no wonder that Medal Media has always been an investment company before, and this time it will pull Jutong Film and Television into a joint venture.Because the working capital of [-] million Huaxia coins was poured out at once, even Medal Media couldn't bear it.

But no matter what, the project "The Wandering Earth" became an instant hit with the 6 million investment alone.

"Wei Xun once again played with amazing big money, investing [-] million yuan to make a Chinese science fiction film!"

"Mingding and Jutong, the two big capitals jointly shot, and Wei Xun, the great director of commercial films, will save China's science fiction?"

""The Wandering Earth" has been filed with the Film Bureau, and the official response stated that investors in the film industry are encouraged to make blockbuster films with industrial special effects, and corresponding policy support will be given."

The media is going crazy.

At the same time, the film industry began to stir.

Including the actor's studio, photography, lighting, editing, and even special effects, clothing and other companies, all capable companies have their eyes on this super sci-fi blockbuster produced by Medal Media.

This is the catalytic effect of a blockbuster on the entire industry.

It is no exaggeration to say that a film project with an investment of [-] million can support thousands of people in the film industry.

Now that the investment in the film industry is tightening, the announcement of "The Wandering Earth" is undoubtedly a very exciting news. Even companies such as Dynasty, Huaying, Tianguang, etc. have also put their ideas in the field of science fiction films.

As we all know, Wei Xun's movies will not lose money.

And maybe after "The Wandering Earth" is released, China's science fiction films will be turned around by him. Now follow the preparations in advance, and maybe they will be able to eat meat at that time...

At the beginning of this year, a sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth" with an investment of [-] million yuan by Xunzhang Media became the new darling of the media headlines.

And in May, the attention of the entire China, from the public to the media, was locked on Cannes.

One of the three major film festivals in Europe in the new year, the Cannes Film Festival in France is about to start selecting awards.This year, Huaxia director Wei Xun's work "Infernal Affairs" is a popular work that has attracted much attention. It was personally recommended by the chairman of Cannes, Jean Besson, and entered the selection of the "Main Competition Unit" exhibition.

The film "Infernal Affairs", which was released throughout Asia and has a global box office of more than 50 billion, has a high call for awards.

In addition, Wei Xun, the director of "Infernal Affairs", once filmed such a stunning global hit as "Chain Saw", so this year's Cannes Film Festival, Wei Xun is definitely the core protagonist.

On 5.10th, in the farewell of the media and fans, Wei Xun, Bai Qianchi, Zeng Wei, Chen Qiuheng and the entire "Infernal Affairs" crew flew to France.

Next, they will stay in Cannes, France for about two weeks to participate in the exhibition of their works from 5.12 to 5.23, and finally attend the Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony on 5.24 to select this year's awards.

According to statistics, there are more than 200 countries around the world, tens of thousands of filmmakers, and thousands of films will be screened at the Cannes Exhibition during these two weeks, and copyrights will be purchased through transactions.

The work "Infernal Affairs", which was shortlisted in this year's "main competition unit", will compete with the other 19 works for the highest scale awards in Cannes.

When Wei Xun and his party boarded the plane to Cannes, the media and netizens on China's side sent blessings one after another.

"Director Wei, come on, win an award for best director, and completely enter the ranks of international directors."

"Actually, it's not bad to win the Cannes best actor trophy. Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming are both worthy of a Cannes best actor trophy."

"Can you be a little promising? Since we are the favorites to win the championship, then give me a hard breast. The goal of "Infernal Affairs" is the Palme d'Or!"

"Hahaha, the upstairs is too much. In the past few decades, no one from Huaxia Film has won the Palme d'Or in Cannes. How dare you think about it."
