Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1043 The Secretly Recorded Movie
With the arrival of the summer vacation, the film promotion of "Shaolin Soccer" has gradually become more and more popular.

As Fang Jiming's work, it naturally received a lot of attention from the very beginning.

On this day, just as Fang Jiming appeared in the underground parking lot of Oriental DreamWorks, he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters: "Fang Dong, Fang Dong, can you tell me about "Shaolin Soccer"?"

"Fang Dong, can you tell me your box office forecast for "Shaolin Soccer"?"

"Fang Dong, do you think the box office of "Shaolin Soccer" can break the previous record?"

……

A series of questions were thrown at Fang Jiming like a cannonball, making Fang Jiming nod his head.

"Fang Dong, what should we do?"

The bodyguard asked, they are most afraid of this kind of scene.

"You protect me, I won't accept interviews today." Fang Jiming said helplessly.

It's not that Fang Jiming doesn't want to cooperate, it's that the reporters are a little unruly.As a celebrity, where can you get an interview just by pulling on the street?At the very least, you guys have to make an appointment, right?

When Fang Jiming got out of the car, the bodyguard stopped the reporters outside and said, "Director Fang does not accept interviews."

The reporter was dumbfounded. These bodyguards were tall and burly, with knives and axes chopping as neatly, with protruding cheeks, bulging temples, and ridged arm muscles.As soon as the bodyguards stretched out their hands, they stopped the reporters.

Fang Jiming got out of the car, not because he didn't accept interviews, but because he didn't accept informal interviews.

You know, many entertainment tabloids have no bottom line, no matter how well you speak, they will misinterpret what you mean.

Therefore, Fang Jiming only accepted interviews from major newspapers, TV stations and formal media.

At the very least, whether you maliciously edited or embezzled, Fang Jiming can leave evidence.

Leaving aside the dumbfounded reporters, Fang Jiming entered the Oriental DreamWorks.

"Fang Jiming won't accept the interview, what should we do?"

"Have you watched the trailer, it seems that the special effects are particularly powerful..."

"I heard that this is the highest-budget film that Fang Jiming has ever made. The special effects alone cost almost 5000 million."

"so smart?!"

"If the cost cannot be recovered, Fang Jiming will be caught blind."

"It takes at least 2 million yuan to pay back, right? Even if there is more than [-] million box office, it's not a lot of money!"

……

If there were ordinary people here, they would definitely complain about these reporters being careless.I have a salary of thousands of yuan, but worry about the sale of hundreds of millions of yuan, isn't this a pain in the ass!
"In the future, these reporters can't be too kind to them, whether they should be driven away or not. I just don't know what to say." Fang Jiming was also a little bored, no wonder Jay Chou wanted to write a song "Besieged on All Sides" to diss these paparazzi, really Too limitless.In fact, for formal interviews, an appointment is required, and consent must be obtained to coordinate the time and place.How can you just rush forward and do an interview like this?

The bodyguards responded, "Yes, Director Fang!"

Fang Jiming wasn't worried about the screening of "Shaolin Soccer" at all, because it was definitely a masterpiece.

Different from the original version, this version of Shaolin football is even more cool-after all, the special effects technology of the movie is developing too fast, and it will be updated in two years.The original version of "Shaolin Soccer" was produced around 2000, while Fang Jiming's version was produced around 2004. If you count strictly, the special effects technology has been two generations behind.

If it's a generation gap, you can make up for one or two with acting skills.But the difference between the two generations is just like the comparison between "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu", it is indeed incomparable in detail.

Special effects, in this year, are synonymous with burning money.Not to mention burning so much money, Fang Jiming felt that the cost would be recovered.

As for how much box office can there be?

It depends on the strength of the consumers.

Fang Jiming saw very clearly that with the rise of real estate, the wages of all social strata are also rising.The average salary in Yanjing last year may have been only [-] yuan, but this year it has reached nearly [-] yuan.This is because land sales taxes have come up, and when there is a financial surplus, the city will continue to be planned and more public service facilities will be built.And the workers get their wages and continue to consume.

The most important thing is that with more real estate loans, banks can also issue more loans, and the income is also higher.Coupled with the increase in the consumption of construction materials, it also increases the wages of workers in disguise...

It can be said that real estate is related to many industries. As long as the government has a clear plan, it can stimulate economic development.

Not only in Yanjing, but also in other first- and second-tier cities.

The economy is booming because there are plans for urbanization and the development of new districts.

For a while, in what seemed like a single year, the Chinese got rich.

This series of changes is also reflected in the box office.In the past, it seemed difficult to make over [-] million at the box office.However, two of the films released this year have broken through the [-] million box office mark.Fang Jiming knew that the potential spending power of the audience had been released.Of course, this release is not yet obvious, because of the impact of online video, many pirates will bring camera equipment into theaters and directly record movies that are being screened.It was recorded and put directly on the video website, and then the movies released were dumbfounded.

Therefore, a movie that is not popular will be unlucky at the box office.

In the past, no matter what kind of movie it was, as long as the filming rate was there, there was basically no problem with the box office exceeding 100 million.

But now, a bunch of bad movies only have a box office of hundreds of thousands, making investors lose everything.

Fang Jiming is also worried about this problem. In the years when copyrights were not respected, it was too difficult to make movies.You know, in the previous life, "Kung Fu" was cheated by this newly-emerged video website, which directly lost a lot of box office.Otherwise, according to a movie like "Kung Fu", how could it only have a box office of 1.6 million?
Of course, this is only the box office in the mainland, and it has not brought the global box office. The global box office of "Kung Fu" is also [-] million US dollars.

It can only be said that this movie feels a bit out of date.

In order to reduce the impact of secretly recording and uploading movies on the box office, Fang Jiming directly exposed this phenomenon on the Internet, hoping to attract the attention of relevant departments.It is a pity that many people in China do not realize how serious the copyright issue is.From 2004 to 2009 in my previous life alone, countless movies were cheated by pirated CDs and pirated online videos.

Industry losses are at least tens of billions.

You know, the taxation of the film industry is very high.

Not to mention the tax on movie tickets, but also the consumption tax of movie theaters and so on.

While the genuine disc costs more than a dozen dollars, you have to pay two or three dollars in taxes and fees, all of which have been taken away by pirated copies.Not only that, but also a corresponding reduction in industry practitioners.It can be said that during the period when copyright was not valued in China, the film and television industry lost many talents.It was only after 2009 that he finally regained his vitality.

After all, the industry is in a recession!
