Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 487 Comparable to a Big Ship【Catastrophe Love Movie】

"Chairman, Ali's style has always been like this. I heard that every acquisition uses a premium method. Fan Luyuan is also a high-level executive of Ali, and he must have brought this evil spirit to the film and television industry."

Sun Chen, Director of Bona Publishing Department, sighed and said with a bit of anger.

The practices of Ali Pictures and Tengxun Pictures are the same as those of the bathing centers that drove up prices after TikTok was available in the previous life, there is no difference.

One is beating people with money, and the other is raising prices because of scarcity of resources. They are both fucking shit sticks.

Be it Bona, Huayi, or Guangliang, they all sneered at this way of raising prices.

So untechnical!

In the headquarters of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun also scolded the street. The two of them scolded together, and Chen Wu from Tengxun Pictures didn't let it go.

After scolding, Wang Zhongjun shook his head at Chen Guofu, and said with a sly smile: "Look, Huaguo movies have been around for a hundred years, and it has never been anyone who has money to play. Alibaba Pictures and Tengxun Pictures, these two troublemakers The shit stick is just trying to scare off other companies."

"Hmph, Fan Luyuan and Chen Wu thought too much, and underestimated our giants!"

I have to say that Wang Zhongjun's guess was very accurate.

The quotations of Ali Pictures and Tengxun Pictures are aimed at imposing, trying to discourage other film and television companies.

This kind of thinking is also stupid, very stupid!
The distribution guarantee of a movie ranges from 26 to [-] million yuan to as many as one billion yuan, and it is as high as [-] billion yuan just like "The Mermaid".

But no matter how high the price is, it will not make the four giants look back and cannot afford to pay.

"A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" have a single-film guarantee of 7 million or [-] million, which is a bit of a wool!
The current overall volume of the film and television industry is not large. Which of the four giants can't afford the big cast and big production?

For example, the four giants have 20 billion in cash, and Alibaba Pictures and Tengxun Pictures have 100 billion in cash.

It seems that Ali Pictures and Tengxun Pictures are big dogs with big capital, but the two films are the same for both parties, and they only need to spend about 10 billion in cash.

It's useless to have money. Could it be that Ali Pictures and Tengxun Pictures dare to issue a guarantee of more than 10 billion for a single film?

Impossible, no matter how potential Huang Bo and Baoqiang have, they are not as good as Wu Jing and Xu Zheng, Jiang Min and Feng Pants.

Ali Pictures dared to offer a guaranteed price of 10 billion for "One Step Away", and would never offer the same price for "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu".

Yu Dong, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and others did not believe it.

The bosses of several major companies sneered after scolding in the office and continued to quote.

5 million, 5.2 million, 5.3 million, 5.4 million.

The teams of Huang Bo and Baoqiang received quotations from major film and television companies one after another, and the prices surpassed each other.

In just one day, the guarantee rose to 5.5 million box office.

This price was personally quoted by Lin Wei, vice president of Hengyu Media and director of the distribution department.

At the same time, Fang Ziheng, who was far away at the Sanqingshan Film and Television Base, also received calls from Huang Bo and Bao Qiang.

"Haha, I knew you would call me."

"Bozi, don't feel pressured, yes, listen to everyone's quotations more!"

"Bao Qiang, I know that you have a temper. I understand and I understand. I also hope that the guarantee will be higher."

"OK, you can communicate with me at any time if you have anything."

During the phone call, Fang Ziheng didn't say anything, but instead comforted Huang Bo and Baoqiang, telling them not to feel pressured and not to take into account his personal relationship.

Not to mention that the two cannot make an objective judgment because Hengyu Media controls the film.

Everything, with movie revenue first!
After reviewing the understatement, the first priority is the film revenue, and the phone call from the standpoint of Huang Bo and Baoqiang received good feedback.

Huang Bo and Baoqiang thanked each other very much on the phone, patted their chests and said that they would definitely choose Hengyu at a similar price.

Fang Ziheng was very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them, he laughed out loud in the movie, and made an appointment to have sex together after returning to the imperial capital.

He was right about Huang Bo and Bao Qiang, neither of them were profit-seeking people, and Hengyu Media always had a place in his heart.

At a similar price, you must choose Hengyu, which is enough!

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Just as major film and television companies competed for the guaranteed release of two new films, the film market exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After "The Return of the Great Sage" won the box office of 1.34 million on the first day, it scored 1.45 million and 1.49 million respectively on the second day and the third day.

4.29 billion in three days!
"The Return of the Great Sage", with a loud enough IP and near-perfect animation effects, boldly knocked on the door of Chinese animation films.

In just three days after its release, there was a wave of watching "The Return of the Great Sage" all over the country during the Lunar New Year.

With the rise of animated films, the era of animation is coming.

Many original animation and animation staff, staff, and even two-dimensional ladies and sisters, shouted for "The Return of the Great Sage" at the top of their voices.

The happiest one is undoubtedly the director and president of Tudou Video, Wang Wei, a literary youth who loves animation and short videos.

The rise of animated films illustrates a series of problems.

Back then, the group of friends who stayed in front of the TV to watch animation after school, they have grown up and already have a certain amount of spending power.

Animation took the lead, followed by animation. The essence of Huaguo culture can be the source of creation for both.

Wang Wei talked excitedly with Fang Ziheng for more than an hour, and held several Tudou video executive meetings in succession.

At the meeting, it was officially decided to put animation and TV dramas on Tudou Video's new strategic policy, keeping pace with TV dramas, variety shows, and online movies.

Currently, Tudou Video has two pillar businesses, TV dramas and variety shows.

For all TV series and variety shows produced by Hengyu Media, Tudou Video is designated as the exclusive broadcasting platform for online videos.

No matter how high the prices of Tengxun Video, Youku Video, iQiyi, and LeTV are, Hengyu Media will never sell copyrights and follow the road of Mango TV’s sole enjoyment.

And because Tudou Video already has a huge film library copyright, after two years of competition, it successfully surpassed Youku to become the number one video website in China.

No way, who made Youku listed on Nakodas!

The other two pillar businesses, web dramas and animation, Wang Weiyi always wanted to start, but was held back by Fang Ziheng several times.

Big online dramas have to be filmed, but not now. The difficulty of producing high-quality online big movies is comparable to that of theater movies. Production costs, teams, and excellent actors are all big problems.

After all, stars above the first and second tiers rarely condescend to appear in a purely online drama.

As for simultaneous online and offline screenings, it is simply impossible. Whoever dares to set this precedent will be torn apart by the sitter in the theaters.

Anime drama, this is just the right time to start.

Last year, Hengyu Media set the starting point for the development of novels and animation copyright decisions, and it can take a bigger step, and work with Tudou Video on the third largest business segment.

With "The Return of the Great Sage" to fly, it can indeed create a secondary wind in a short period of time.

But the quality must be controlled well, the audience is too young to harvest leeks with the expectations and hopes of young people.

If you want to do it, you have to do it well!

The fiery film market has slightly eased the film industry's attention to the new films of Huang Bo and Bao Qiang, and more than half of their attention is on the Lunar New Year film.

12 month 1 number.

Produced by a super-large cast known as an epic love masterpiece, "Taiping Wheel" held its world premiere.

The director of the film, Wu Baige, appeared with Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Qiaohui, Tong Dawei, and Nagasawa Masami as leading actors, attracting the attention of all the media and guests present.

In the inner court of the National Center for the Performing Arts, endless applause poured in, resounding over the venue.

"Peace Wheel" ah!

Wu Baige's world-renowned masterpiece, which took five years to create, is finally about to untie the fig leaf and meet the audience friends.

Hundreds of reporters crowded under the stage center of the Grand Theater, holding up their microphones and asking Wu Baige questions.

After five years, Wu Baige's new movie was finally released, and it was full of hot spots and popularity.

It's been five years!
Director Wu, Director Wu, what have you been doing for the past five years!
The reporters scrambled to ask questions, eager to rush to the stage and knock Wu Baige unconscious and take him away.

At this moment, Wu Baige seemed to be shrouded in a halo, and five years was enough to wipe out the backlash from "Red Cliff".

"Actually, I haven't relaxed in the past five years!"

Facing the reporter's questions, he never refused to come, with a confident smile, he talked freely: "The Waterloo of "Red Cliff" did not hit me. After only two months of rest, I started "" Preparations for "Taiping Wheel".

After more than 1600 days and nights, this world-class disaster love blockbuster has finally come out successfully.

Five years, the reason why my team and I have spent so much time and painstakingly polishing this work is to tell the world that Chinese-language movies are no worse than Hollywood.

Hollywood can make "Titanic", and we can also have "Peace Wheel", an oriental disaster love romance!

An epic disaster blockbuster must have an unforgettable romantic love. The film conveys reality and illusion through the characteristics of characters, and witnesses the true meaning of love with the rise and fall of history and the changes of the world! "

Wu Baige still has the same smell, and he blows it up as soon as he comes up.

It was as if he was afraid that others would not know his awesomeness, or the awesomeness of "Taiping Wheel".

clap clap..
clap clap..
The applause broke out again, and the guests and audience gave Wu Baige enough face.

"Taiping Wheel" has a total investment of [-] million yuan. It brings together popular actors from China, Japan and South Korea. Like "Red Cliff", it is divided into two parts.

Moreover, the movie has been sold with a guaranteed minimum distribution. LeTV Film and Television bought out the distribution rights of the upper and lower two films from Galloping Horse with a minimum guarantee of [-] million.

In addition, in addition to Galloping Horse, China Film and Hua Yi also participated in the film, each accounting for 15% of the investment.

In general, including the overseas copyright fees sold, "Taiping Wheel" has recovered three-quarters of the cost in advance.

Everything that follows has nothing to do with Galloping Horse, China Film, and Huayi. The pressure is on LeTV Film and Television.

At the scene, Jia Yueting, chairman of LeTV, attended the premiere ceremony tonight, and sat in the front row with Zhang Zhao, CEO of LeTV Pictures.

Lao Jia is still personable, and there is no trace of eagerness for LeEco's capital chain to break on his face. He looks at the main creative team going through the process with a smile on the stage.

Zhang Zhao clasped his palms lightly, and turned his head to ask: "Chairman, Hengyu Media has raised the price to 5.5 million for Huang Bo and Baoqiang's new film. Look..."

"Continue to increase the price, don't be petty, raise it to 6 million in one go, and be sure to win two new films for me!"

Jia Yueting didn't move her body, squinted her eyes and looked directly at the stage, and said firmly.

The imposing manner and attitude were quite well controlled, and Zhang Zhao was taken aback for a while, and the worry in his heart that "LeTV has no money" disappeared instantly.

He absorbed all the chicken blood that was not chicken blood, and he had full confidence in LeTV Group.

Behind the two, Hengyu Media and Hengyu Huyu came to cheer Chang Jihong and Wen Muye just in time to hear Jia Yueting's words.

Chang Jihong blinked and bumped into Wen Muye, asking him to pass the news back.

Wen Muye understood in seconds, took out his mobile phone and edited a text message to Zhong Lifang, then shook his hand, copied the text message and sent it to Fang Ziheng on WeChat.

In less than ten seconds, Fang Ziheng replied to WeChat.

"Don't listen to Lao Jia's nonsense, they are about to take pills!"

Wen Muye, Chang Jihong: "."

what's going on?
Who wants pills!
LeTV, Lao Jia, or Zhang Zhao!
hiss..
What did the chairman know?
The two took a breath, looked at each other and then fell silent, secretly looking at Jia Yueting and Zhang Zhao in the front row.

On the stage, reporters continued to ask questions.

The reporter from Imperial Capital Entertainment grabbed the fourth one to ask a question and asked Wu Baige an extremely sharp question.

"Hello, Director Wu, "The Return of the Great Sage" and "The Wheel of Peace" are the two most watched movies in the Lunar New Year file. The former has won a super high box office of 4.29 million in three days. The momentum is huge and unstoppable.

May I ask Director Wu, how much box office do you think "Taiping Wheel" can make on the first day, and can it hold the impact of "The Return of the Great Sage"? "

wow.
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the inner field.

All eyes looked towards the center of the stage, staring at Wu Baige, wanting to see how he would answer this question.

A 'Shou' represents the views of Imperial Capital Entertainment, as well as the minds of most of the guests and audience.

The invincible trend of "The Return of the Great Sage" has a total box office of at least 10 billion, 15 billion, 16 billion, or even 20 billion.

Subconsciously, everyone put "Taiping Wheel" at the bottom, and they didn't have much confidence in the movie's total box office.

The sharp question also made Wu Baige's face change, his smile restrained, and he took a deep look at the reporter of Imperial Capital Entertainment.

grass..
The guy who didn't lock the door let you in!

He cursed inwardly, raised the microphone in his hand, looked around and said loudly: "I can tell everyone responsibly that "Taiping Wheel" is definitely a wonderful movie, whether it is the plot or the setting. , My team and I strive for perfection and are committed to creating a high-level, epoch-making masterpiece.

Actors like Zi Yi, Cheng Wu, Xiao Ming, Qiao Hui, and Da Wei are also very dedicated, and every performance is impeccable. I believe "Taiping Wheel" will definitely satisfy the audience! "

"Speaking of the box office, we have also discussed it in private, and we all think that 16 billion is not a problem, and 20 billion can be expected!"

Speaking of this, Wu Baige smiled in his eyes, and turned slightly to look at Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming and the others.

16 billion!
20 billion!
Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Qiaohui, and Tong Dawei jumped in their hearts, and quickly smiled and nodded.

In their hearts, the few people seemed to be trampled by ten thousand draft horses, crazily complaining!
I am Nima..
Director, how come we don't know about your ambitions?
Can you stop pretending, it's really okay!
Not only the leading actors, but also the reporters, guests, and audience in the audience were stunned, and some of them choked on Wu Baige's awesomeness.

Especially the executives of a group of film and television companies, Wang Zhonglei, Song Ge, Chang Jihong, Wen Muye and others, they wanted to laugh but were embarrassed to laugh, trying to hold back their uncomfortable expressions.
