China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 382 Shen Fang: I want to create the most popular schedule for Chinese movies!
"No, are we really doing this?"

"Could it be that Team Leader Zhang has no confidence?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence. After all, you dare to do this, so I have nothing to say."

"Are you worried?"

"Have."

"Isn't that still not confident?"

"But, my teacher Shen, don't you know that during the Chinese New Year, not many people actually go to the movies?"

"Hahaha... yes, that's true."

"Then you still have to do this?"

"Master Zhang, have you ever thought about what it would be like to let everyone go to the movies at that time?"

"You, you, what do you mean?"

What Shen Fang talked with Brother Teng and Brother Xiang naturally spread to Team Leader Zhang very quickly.

Team leader Zhang, who was originally full of confidence, was so frightened that he came over to chat with Shen Fang.

Looking at the appearance of this guy, it was completely within Shen Fang's expectation.

It's really very normal, if Team Leader Zhang thinks this way, and all his current performances are really too normal.

Because, right now, in the summer of 2011, Chinese filmmakers really cannot imagine how hot the domestic film market will be during the Spring Festival.

It must be said that there are always movies released during the Spring Festival, especially in recent years, there will be some big productions selected at this time.

It is most obvious in 2006, when "Fearless" was not only a success of the movie, Jay Chou also wrote a song of the same name for the movie.

But in those years, some people also complained that the movie was not successful.

After all, this time was Jet Lianjie's peak period, and the box office of this movie did not exceed [-] million, which is hardly a success at all.

And that song by Jay Chou was also quite popular at the time... But, to be honest, this song became very popular on the Internet later on, obviously this song was a bit too ahead of its time.

So what does this mean?

Or simply put, what exactly is Shen Fang going to do?

He smiled and posed a question to Team Leader Zhang.

"Tell me, how did the movie schedule come about?"

Team leader Zhang was stunned again, but not long after, a very inexplicable excitement appeared on his face.

"You, you want to..."

"Yes! I want to create a schedule!"

At this moment, Shen Fang's expression was extremely confident!

……

Make a schedule?
Is Shen Fang talking big?
This matter has to be considered from the perspective of schedule.

How did the movie schedule come about?
If we look back at history, we can recall the development of the entire film history from a macro perspective.

It is easy to have a question.

Does the schedule make the movie, or does the movie make the schedule?
Generally speaking, from the perspective of our dialectical materialist view of history, it should be:
Times make heroes!
Heroes only play a role in boosting the times.

Think of the times as schedules and heroes as movies.

The conclusion speaks for itself.

but!

The history of film, however, does not seem to be like this at all.

For example, how did the summer holidays come about?
The answer is very clear, because Spielberg filmed a movie called "Jaws", which was released during the summer vacation and then set a box office record.

Thus, the summer file was born.

Not just this one example.

Look at our mainland China film market.

How did the Lunar New Year stall come about?

The movie called "Party A and Party B" achieved an exciting box office result in the dark age of movies.

This is how the Lunar New Year file appeared.

Although Feng Xiaogang has indeed done a lot of things that people can't help but hate him, but as far as this Lunar New Year file is concerned, he can be regarded as a contribution to Chinese movies.

In fact, there are many such examples. So, from this perspective, can Shen Fang really create a Spring Festival file with "Charlotte Annoyance"?
In this matter, it can only be said that Shen Fang has enough confidence.

Moreover, he has a very feasible plan.

However, the plan is only feasible, and he himself doesn't know whether it can really succeed.

After saying goodbye to class leader Zhang, he started his own plan.

……

"The Founding of the Party" was still a success. Although it was not as dazzling at the box office as "Tomorrow's War" in the same period, it also achieved reasonable results.

Han Sanye is still satisfied, and the superiors still affirmed his work.

Of course, there are a lot of bad voices at the moment.

Why did you make the main theme movie so commercial?

Since it is to promote the main theme, why make money?
Sanye Han just thought it was ridiculous to say these things.

If the main theme movie does not make money, then the main theme movie must be going downhill, and it must be getting worse and worse.

It's very simple, because it was like this before, and the example is clearly placed in front of filmmakers like Han Sanye.

They've already seen it.

Even if it is a movie with the main theme, it is still a movie, and movies have to follow the laws of movies. To put it bluntly, movies are also a commodity, a spiritual and cultural commodity.

If the product does not make money, then the product is a failure.

Only when the main theme movie makes money, can a better main theme movie be produced, attract more capital investment, more businessmen and big stars join in.

This year, there will be a big-produced main theme movie that Big Brother Long will cooperate with Shanghai Film. It will be released soon, and Big Brother Long will focus on it.

This is the result. This "[-] Revolution" is both a main theme movie and a commercial movie.

The main theme does not conflict with business at all, it has always been the case.

As for saying that you shouldn't make money, that's really an old way of thinking, and because of this kind of thinking, Changying Film Studio, the largest film studio in Asia, was originally established.

Isn't it like it is now? It's almost like being submerged in history.

We cannot allow this tragedy to happen again.

Han Sanye ignored those voices at all, because it was completely unnecessary. In short, history will prove who is correct.

Especially when history has already given the answer.

However, there was someone who gave him even more headaches.

"Third Master, I have a big plan!"

"you……"

Shen Fang is the guy who gave Han Sanye a headache, but he is actually very straightforward.

That's right, Shen Fang didn't hide his plan at all, he just told Han Sanye when he saw him.

I want to create a Spring Festival stall!

So, how to build it?

Shen Fang's method is also very simple, he didn't ask Han Sanye to ask, he just talked about it.

Let's have a discussion, can we gather a few very good films, or let's just say, well-known directors, well-known actors, that is, blockbuster films produced by big names, in the Spring Festival, and release them together!
Yes, it is such a method, it sounds very simple, and even makes people can't help complaining.

Just introduce?

Of course, there are also those who know how to do it.

You, Shen Fang, are too whimsical!

How big is your kid's face, and what ability does your kid have, so that these blockbuster movies will be concentrated in the Spring Festival stalls?
Why are you!

Sanye Han is not an ordinary person, he neither complained nor scolded.

"What's the benefit of doing this?"

Sure enough, they are different characters. The question Han Sanye asked seems simple, but it actually hits the nail on the head!

Shen Fang smiled, because he had thought about this question a long time ago.

"The benefits are obvious."

"box office?"

"Yes, it's the box office."

"Then how much do you think it can increase?"

"Third Master, I can say responsibly that if I do it according to my method, then, during the Spring Festival, that is, among the films released on the first day of the new year, there will be at least one movie with a box office of more than 10 billion, and, The total box office for this season is at least 20 billion!"

10 million?
20 million?
If ordinary people say such things... Well, ordinary people have no chance to say anything in front of Han Sanye.

Shen Fang is now the producer, director, screenwriter, and actor of the top-grossing movie in China's domestic movies.

With so many halos on him, Mr. Han will listen to him.

In other words, Sanye Han even believed it a little bit.

but……

"What if it doesn't happen?"

"There is at least one billion movie, because I have a movie, I really want to arrange it in the Spring Festival, I believe this movie is at least one billion!
The total box office is 20 billion. If this number is not reached, then, how much is missing, I, Shen Fang, will make up for it personally! "

Good guy!
Shen Fang's tone was too loud!

However, when these words came out of his mouth, they represented extremely strong self-confidence!
Sanye Han even nodded, "Are you so confident?"

"Of course, because I know very well that I am creating the most popular movie schedule in China in the future!"

"Enough!"

"Thank you, Third Master."

"Your boy does have some tricks, but let me ask you, what movie would you like to be released on the Spring Festival, which is what you call the first day of the Lunar New Year? Why don't they want to be released on the Lunar New Year, that is, December? Is there any reason? "

This series of questions was really powerful, but Shen Fang became more confident.

Because, Sanye Han's question is all about detailed plans related to the Spring Festival stalls!
To put it bluntly, he was already tempted!

As for Shen Fang, in fact, he had already confirmed early on that Sanye Han would definitely be tempted.

Why?

That "Huo Yuanjia", this film is a masterpiece of China Film Group, and it is the operation of Han Sanye.

In short, Sanye Han has long wanted to create a new good schedule.

When Shen Fang brought it up now, it actually coincided with Han Sanye, the head of China Film Group.

Therefore, the real key lies in the specific operation.

Shen Fang also thought about it early in the morning.

"It's about which titles, and how many titles, right?"

Shen Fang didn't answer at all, but raised a question instead.

"Don't be a fool, you kid, just talk about it carefully."

Sanye Han has already agreed, but what he wants is a specific plan!

Shen Fang smiled, and he directly reported a list.

"The work I worked on was called Charlotte Annoyance.

In addition, I remember that Ning Hao and Huang Bo made a film, but it was stuck without review. "

Sanye Han's eyes lit up when he heard this, "There are no films that have passed the trial, what can you do?"

His subtext is almost saying, if you, Shen Fang, have a way to let this movie pass the review, then I will have a way to let this movie go on the Spring Festival file you mentioned!
And Shen Fang naturally smiled and nodded, "Their film is actually based on Oliver Stone's "U-Turn". The ending of this film is acceptable in the United States, after all, it is a bad ending. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s really not in line with our socialist values ​​to learn it completely…”

"Don't talk about it, kid. If you have a way, teach Ning Hao and them as soon as possible."

Sanye Han laughed.

Since Shen Fang understands the details of the film, of course he understands what to do.

This is, of course, "No Man's Land".

Oliver Stone's "U-Turn", this film also has a name, "No Turn". The road ran to black.

The movie is actually very problematic, because in the end it is the hero who goes all the way to the dark, and it is over.

Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" basically borrowed from this movie. Many plots are very similar, and they even just moved things from the United States to China.

However, as far as the movie is concerned, it is actually quite good. This is also Ning Hao's attempt at road movies. Didn't he make "Heart Blossoms on the Road" later.

Naturally, this is also due to Xu Zheng, who made "People on the Journey" before.

However, this movie was stuck by censorship. Fortunately, Shen Fang knows how much black humor can be released.

So, get this "No Man's Land" done, and then, let this movie be on the Spring Festival file.

Shen Fang was very confident.

Even if Sanye Han didn't put pressure, Shen Fang helped Ning Hao so much, wouldn't this bad monkey be grateful at all?

Ning Hao is a smart person, he wouldn't be so stupid.

So, just these two movies?

Is it almost mean?
Shen Fang then made a small pass.

"I believe that there will be movies released during the Spring Festival this year."

Sanye Han frowned, "Are you going to choose among these films?"

No, aren't these films originally going to be released during the Spring Festival?

Shen Fang said with a smile: "Of course these movies are not enough to watch, but what if Xingye's movie can be released during the Spring Festival?"

Master Xing?

For a moment, Sanye Han's brain was buzzing.

"How do you know..." As soon as the words came out, Mr. Han stopped.

Shen Fang took over the conversation, "Third Master, didn't you say that the production of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was finished."

Good guy!It turned out that Shen Fang really wanted to hit Master Xing.

However, if you take these three movies as an example...

"No Man's Land", "Charlotte's Annoyance", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

These three are enough!

"Well, if these three movies can all be released in the Spring Festival next year, it is indeed very possible to create a Spring Festival schedule!"

Han Sanye gave affirmation, but then he said:
"Ning Hao is easy to handle. Are you familiar with Master Xing?"

This is simply a provocation, but Shen Fang has nothing to do.

However, this guy laughed.

"Third Master, I am absolutely sure that Master Xing's movie will be released during the Spring Festival next year, which is the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

Isn't that too confident?
"Okay! If you do it, then I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

Han Sanye patted his chest as a guarantee.

Shen Fang smiled comfortably at the moment.

In fact, the reason why Shen Fang is so confident is not only to convince Master Xing, but also his confidence in creating Spring Festival stalls, all because of this "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"!
Many ordinary movie fans probably don't remember, that is to say, how the most popular Spring Festival schedule started in the next ten years or so.

The glory of the Spring Festival file, in fact, started from this "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"!

The film was originally released in 2013.

In other words, Shen Fang seems to be very risky to create a Spring Festival stall.

But in fact, he just moved the schedule forward by one year...

　Not much to say, there must be more today!
