If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 186 The new overlord of the film industry
Zhao Liying walked into the venue holding Lu Chen's arm.

There are already many people in the room.

They all look familiar.

All bigwigs in the film industry.

"Director Lu, congratulations." Han Shanping walked over with a smile on his face, "The trailer of "Changjin Lake" has received a particularly good response. Now everyone is discussing "Changjin Lake" on the forums. The market is about to hit new highs."

Han Shanping is really envious.

The biggest investment convenience of "Changjin Lake" is Mars Film and Television.

Followed by Bayi Studios.

Bayi Studio is only a symbolic investment.

The movie was not released, and the trailer was so popular.

And with Lu Chen's reputation as director.

It's bound to be another box office hit, and Mars Films and Television will make a lot of money.

And Han Shanping received the news.

"Changjin Lake" will be released, and a large-scale viewing event will be organized.

The right time, place, and people are all there.

Previously, Chen Kaige and director Feng Xiaogang both wanted to break the record of "Let the Bullets Fly".

All ended in failure.

"The Promise" and "Night Banquet" are far from 5 million.

Now it seems that the record set by director Lu Chen in the mainland will be broken by himself.

"Director Lu, congratulations." The two brothers Wang Zhonglei also came over to congratulate, "The number of views of "Changjin Lake" on the Saturn video exceeded one million that day, and the number is still rising. This time, it's a win-win situation."

"The trailer of "Changjin Lake" exploded, and Saturn Video's data also exploded. This time, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of new users for Saturn Video. In the future, maybe Saturn Video's advertising revenue will not lose to TV stations."

Two king brothers.

I still admire Director Lu Chen's vision.

Start a video site.

The works produced by Mars Film and Television will be played on the video website.

Also purchased the copyright of many excellent film and television works.

Although do these.

But still playing around.

But since the explosion of "Soldier Assault".

The number of users of Saturn Video exploded instantly.

Then to the exclusive trailer of "Changjin Lake".

Just discovered.

Director Lu Chen is taking one step at a time.

Everything has already been planned.

Recently, I heard that Saturn Video will have an in-depth cooperation with Mango Channel, and the programs produced by Mango Channel will be broadcast on Saturn Video.

"Director Lu, you are now the most concerned person in the mainland. Everyone is looking forward to your "Changjin Lake" being released in theaters and breaking a new record." The fifth generation of directors represented by Zhang Yingmou also came to congratulate.

Several well-known directors of the fifth generation are not feeling well.

A group of people are really going to lose to the sixth generation of directors headed by Director Lu Chen.

"The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige did not have as much investment as a film in the mainland box office.

The overseas market is also quite unsatisfactory.

It was supposed to be over.

But recently, some netizens made a video of "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun" on the Internet.

The movie "The Promise" was pulled out again to flog corpses.

It was ridiculed by netizens.

Chen Kaige was very upset and was considering suing this netizen.

At any rate, he is the winner of the Palme d'Or, and being trampled on by the majority of netizens is hard to swallow.

Director Feng Xiaogang also felt uncomfortable.

It was "Night Banquet".

Invest over [-] million.

It was the first time to shoot a billion-dollar production.

With bold words, the lowest box office in the Mainland is [-] million.

The goal in my heart is to break the record of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the Mainland.

result.

The box office only broke [-] million.

Not to mention comparing with Director Lu Chen.

It can't compare with Director Ning Hao under Director Lu Chen.

I almost lost my old face.

"The Promise" and "Night Banquet" failed.

Let Director Lu Chen lead the Mars Department, the sixth generation of mainland directors, to officially become the protagonists of the mainland film industry.

"Thank you everyone." Lu Chen thanked everyone for their congratulations.

Wait for the time.

Lu Chen sat down with everyone.

The first to speak was the president of the Huaguo Film Association.

Most of the talk is scene talk.

Next, Lu Chen will speak.

What Lu Chen wanted to say was the topic of today's meeting.

Lu Chen picked up the document on the table, "I prepared this document for everyone present today. The content of the document is about the development history of movie ticket prices in Huaguo."

Those present open the file.

Look carefully.

before coming to this meeting.

already known in advance.

However, it is the first time to read the file.

document content.

It is the history of the development of movie ticket prices in Huaguo.

In the 80s, Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple" was released and caused a sensation in the streets and alleys. At that time, the ticket price was about 1 cents.

From the end of the 80s to the beginning of the 90s, the film industry was very depressed, and the number of moviegoers dropped sharply every year. The film studio found that the income was too low, and there was no way to make new films.

In 93, the state advocated breaking the monopoly and liberalizing ticket prices. Since then, movie ticket prices have increased by one to two yuan every year.

In 1998, "Titanic" was released, and the average ticket price was about 20 yuan. The ticket price in first-tier cities reached 50 yuan, and some people even speculated for 200 yuan.

This is two stages.

to now.

The emergence of director Zhang Yingmou's "Hero" directly pulled the ticket price of domestic films to 50 yuan, and also opened the era of blockbuster Chinese movies.

Of course, this is a blockbuster ticket.

In the past two years, only Chinese films such as "Hero", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Wushuang", "Inception", "The Promise", and "Night Banquet" can be priced at 50.

Other small and medium-budget movies are still around 20 yuan, and some are even lower, and the ticket price in small cities is less than 10 yuan.

Of course, the ticket price of 50 is also in a big city, and it has to be a big production directed by a big director.

Ticket prices in small cities are also generally low.

However, small cities are not the main markets. The main markets for movies are still a few big cities in China.

"Movie ticket prices are not uniform in big cities now." Lu Chen waited for everyone to finish reading the document, and then began to talk about business, "I hope the ticket prices will be unified, and don't maliciously steal customers. This movie ticket price is 50, and the next door family 25. If things go on like this, it will not benefit everyone."

"I quite agree with Director Lu Chen's proposal to unify regional ticket prices. Small cities can set prices lower, but big cities can also set lower prices. In the end, we all suffer." Of course, Han Shanping supports Lu Chen.

After all, the theaters under the film group.

With Jupiter Cinemas.

All are well-known theaters in the country.

Number of movie theaters owned.

It is not comparable to small theaters.

The equipment of small theaters is not as good as that of large theaters.

Small theaters can only survive under the big theaters by fighting price wars.

Before this meeting.

Han Shanping and director Lu Chen will meet each other.

It is to squeeze the living space of small theaters and merge theaters.

Li Shaohong, vice president of the Directors Association, also expressed support for this matter. Some theaters lowered movie ticket prices to attract users, and the film production companies were ultimately damaged.

"I hope that everyone can work together on this matter." Lu Chen watched the directors and movie company owners present, "If a theater chain lowers the ticket price, the movies you make will not be shown in their theaters, so that they have no movies to watch. put."

"Of course, everyone can rest assured that there will be no shortage of cinemas showing the films you produce. The gates of Jupiter Cinemas will always be open to films from all film companies."

"There are also theaters under my film group." Han Shanping took the conversation.

The bosses of the film companies present and the directors also understood.

Director Lu Chen and Han Shanping are a strong alliance.

To integrate the cinema industry.

This is going to happen.

I'm afraid that some film company bosses and big directors will become beggars on their knees.

But what Director Lu Chen said.

It is indeed related to everyone's vital interests to resist lowering fares to grab users.

Definitely support.

As for the objection, it is useless.

Lu Chen and Han Shanping must have talked in private.

There was also the president of the Film Association present to support the stage.

Putting this matter on the surface, it has already been negotiated, and it is to inform everyone.

"Currently, big-budget movies directed by big directors are screened in big cities, and the ticket price is set at 50, and other movies are priced at 25. If it is a small city, the ticket price can be lowered appropriately, but the ticket prices of movies in the same area must be uniform and not lowered. The ticket price attracts the audience, and although it benefits at the beginning, the damage will ultimately be a long-term benefit, so I hope everyone will take a long-term view." Lu Chen glanced around, "After I finish speaking, who agrees? Who opposes?"

The film bigwigs present all agreed.

Oppose now.

It's not that it will offend director Lu Chen and Han Shanping, and there will be no way out after that.

Besides, stabilizing movie ticket prices is indeed beneficial to everyone.

just worry.

In the future, the theater will only be in the hands of director Lu Chen and Han Shanping, fearing that everyone will lose the right to speak.

Just like the classic lines of "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Director Lu Chen, he is also the boss of a movie company, so he became a beggar on his knees.

"Now that the national income level is high, some big-budget films can raise ticket prices appropriately on the basis." Lu Chen decided to test the waters with his own film, "The ticket price of the big city movie "Changjin Lake" directed by me will be set at 60 yuan, I earned a lot, and theater owners can also earn more."

Nowadays, blockbuster movies in the mainland are all priced at 50.

Lu Chen planned to add ten yuan.

I dare not add more.

Although the national income has increased, this is already a day's wages.

It's a popular movie, otherwise I wouldn't dare to set the price.

In the previous life.

Lu Chen has also learned about movie ticket prices in the mainland market.

The "Transformers" of the previous life was released in 07, and the ticket price in Peking theaters was 80.

There are still many people watching.

It is because of the top special effects of the movie that it is sought after by many young people, and they are willing to spend 80 yuan to watch a movie.

"Director Lu, we will definitely support you." Everyone present was quite surprised.

This Lu Chen tested the waters with his own movie.

Really sincere.

Of course everyone is also optimistic.

The "Changjin Lake" trailer is really explosive.

The number of viewers of the Saturn video is rising in a straight line.

The degree of discussion is particularly high.

It also brought a wave of watching videos on the Internet, which made countless Internet cafes full.

After all, Saturn videos can only be viewed on a computer, not on TV.

The "Changjin Lake" trailer is only played on Saturn Video.

……

"No Man's Land" Crew

Lu Chen came to the crew of "No Man's Land" after finishing the meeting about the ticket prices of Chinese-language movies.

It's really no man's land.

The convoy of Lu Chen and his team drove at least dozens of kilometers on a road that was not populated by people.

The environment here is even worse than when Lu Chen filmed "A World Without Thieves".

The furthest to shoot "Under Heaven, No Thieves" is the Northwest.

This is no longer the Northwest.

I have already passed through the Great Northwest and came to the farther Xinjian, the desert.

"Director Lu, I'll give you some water." Zhao Liying has been following Lu Chen for the past few days, acting as a temporary life assistant.

Both of them were wearing masks, and the sky was full of wind and sand.

a mouth.

I'm afraid I'll get sand in my mouth.

Lu Chen took the water and drank a big bottle. Here, the mouth is too dry and the air is too dry.

As for Lu Chen and Zhao Liying.

It was also Liu Yifei who was thrown to the crew of "Painted Skin".

Zhou Xun is starring in "Painted Skin" directed by Wu Ershan.

It is also to let Liu Yifei not just study at home, but to learn acting from Zhou Xun in the crew of "Painted Skin" when he has time.

Zhou Xun's acting skills can definitely be ranked among the top ten mainland actresses.

"Welcome Director Lu to guide our work." Ning Hao organized all the crew members to welcome Director Lu Chen who came from afar.

"Let everyone go back to their rooms, the wind is blowing outside, and there is wind and sand everywhere, not to let everyone eat sand outside." Lu Chen saw that everyone was ashamed.

It is estimated that it has been standing outside for a long time, otherwise it would not have become like this.

"Everyone go back to the room." Ning Hao greeted everyone and stopped going outside.

As for the mood has been good.

For this environment.

I don't feel bitter at all.

Still very happy.

Finally got his wish to shoot "No Man's Land".

After a while everyone came to the room built by the crew, which is also the scene to be filmed.

Lu Chen entered the room and looked at the poles in the room, "Is this to film the lead female dancing pole dance?"

"Yes, Director Lu." Ning Hao talked about the play from the side, "The lawyer played by Xu Zheng came to cheer, the boss offered [-] yuan, and [-] yuan was for this song and dance performance..."

Seriously talking about the scenes in the movie.

Director Lu Chen is very concerned about his filming of "No Man's Land".

gave great support.

Let yourself not worry about the release.

Director Lu wanted to know the plot of the movie, so Ning Hao must explain it clearly.

"Director Ning, why don't you let Director Lu direct this scene? After all, Director Lu is the producer of this movie, but he has never contributed much. If there is a chance, let Director Lu do his best. Otherwise, everyone will say that Director Lu is the producer. It’s just a name.” Zhang Jingchu, who plays the female lead, made a suggestion.

Looking at Lu Chen, her eyes are even more charming, and the hint is obvious.

"Director Lu, I'll trouble you to direct next." Ning Hao called Xu Zheng and went out together.

Xu Zheng froze for a moment.

Thinking that I will have a role in the next one.

The dance performed by the heroine played by Zhang Jingchu is not for herself.

After all, I was in the movie, but it cost fifteen thousand.

Of course, Xu Zheng immediately realized that he didn't need director Ning Hao to hint again, and hurried out.

"Xiaoying, I'll take you outside for a stroll." Ning Hao also called out to Zhao Liying.

"There are deserts around here, where to go?" Zhao Liying asked a question, mainly because she wanted to stay with Director Lu and watch him filming.

Director Lu is the most charming when he is filming and working.

"Just go shopping nearby. There are many animals outside that you haven't seen before. It's always fun." Ning Hao coaxed and lied Zhao Liying out of the room.

Soon.

Room staff are leaving.

Only Lu Chen and Zhang Jingchu were left.

"Director Lu, let's start shooting." Zhang Jingchu's eyes explained very well what is charming as silk.

"Hmm~" Lu Chen came to the camera and turned on the machine.

Zhang Jingchu was stunned for a moment when the camera was turned on, thinking that he would not be able to turn on the camera, but he didn't bother to ask, and started to perform, dancing pole dancing.

Zhang Jingchu specially went to learn pole dancing for a period of time for the role of the lead actress in the movie "No Man's Land".
