China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 207 Nearly [-] million a day, who can bear it?

Afterwards, everyone chatted with He Fang about how to change the rules of the Hong Kong film industry, and He Fang gave his own understanding one by one.

"Brother, who gave so many plans, can we believe it? He is not an orthodox voice in the mainland." Someone listened to Jackie Chan.

"You don't understand. I spend a lot of time in the Mainland. Some things are not convenient for the government to come out and speak out. It is best for the people to do it. Then, which of the people in the Mainland do you think has the energy to do this now? Who is the most suitable."

"One is his international and domestic status. Although he dare not say that he is higher than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, he is at least on the same level."

"Secondly, the power behind him is the official power, Huying Group, the second largest film group in the mainland. Thirdly, he is appreciated by the big leaders. I heard that many departments have given him strong support."

"So, his words are very credible, and he is guaranteed by the cooperation of Tuanhuo Culture. What are we afraid of? Didn't he say that those who are worried can make a co-production with Tuanhuo Culture and share the group Huo Culture’s global publicity and distribution resources, what else do you want?”

Jackie Chan's words made the person with ears just smile a few times, and the eyes he looked at He Fang became more sinister.

"I heard that he has been making bad movies in the United States. Why do you say that the United States is still helping him with global distribution?" The man listened again.

Jackie Chan smiled, "Unless Hollywood movies don't want to be released in the mainland, they have the final say on how to distribute them when Hollywood enters the mainland. Therefore, they not only dare not block He Fang, but also have to help him. There is nothing wrong with it." Understand why He Fang has the confidence? When one day you have a market of 14 billion people to support you, you will have more confidence than him.”

"Hiss..." The man gritted his teeth and took a breath, not knowing what to say.

On He Fang's side, Wu Jing asked He Fang curiously: "Director He, I don't think they will actually do what you say. They are very xenophobic. Although they support you on the surface, they will turn around and say something else. It’s done. It’s like they talk about resisting piracy every day, but it’s hard to say what they actually do. They can only do the same to make money.”

Wu Jing obviously knew this group of people very well, so he told He Fang the inside story.

However, He Fang waved his hand indifferently, and then said in Wu Jing's ear.

"This... Actually, I didn't expect them to cooperate together after they really listened to me. Of course, it is best to cooperate. The important thing is that I made a tempting suggestion to divide them. Apply the "Let the Bullets Fly" In a word: Is the future of Hong Kong films important to me? It is not important, but it is very important to me to divide the bad mentality and behavior of Hong Kong film circles against the mainland. The reason why I think Hong Kong films still need to exist is that Because there are many films that can only be made in Hong Kong."

"..." Wu Jing was stunned. He thought that He Fang's idea was like this, but He Fang's idea was actually more advanced.

……

We talked a lot that night, and many things cannot be achieved in one meeting.After all, the Hong Kong film industry is not yet united, so we have to wait for them to figure it out first. Anyway, He Fang's attitude is that the door to Tuanhuo culture is always open, and cooperation is welcome at any time.

Before returning to the room, He Fang rejected the arrangement of several big bosses. Although the young model is very attractive, He Fang is still afraid that others will set him up. The paparazzi in Hong Kong are too unruly, and they dare to rush into the door to take pictures.

The first day of the Chinese New Year passed like this, but what He Fang said in Hong Kong caused huge waves in the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they criticized He Fang for interfering with Hong Kong's ecology.

Some opponents even jumped up and cursed, but He Fang treated them like a dog barking there and ignored them.

He doesn't need to do anything else, he just needs to tell the truth to Hong Kong, tell the truth, then the lies woven by those people will be broken, and then they will have to work harder to re-weave.

After zero o'clock and the first day of the new year, He Fang received the box office information. The box office of the first day of the Chinese New Year in the mainland was 9051 million, which broke the record high in a single day. After seeing this result, He Fang fell asleep satisfied.

He himself made a little assessment that it shouldn't be a problem if the monthly box office reaches 13.6 billion, but he doesn't know if he can break through the [-] billion of "Avatar".

The crew of "Pacific Rim" moved to Singapore on the second day of the Lunar New Year. At this time, the global box office also came out.

Mainland China 9051 million yuan, contract 1331 million US dollars.

North America's US$589 million fell by half into the working day.

The rest of the world's 1472 million US dollars was affected by the working day. If it were not for some countries in the Asian region because of the Spring Festival, the box office would have been lower.

However, this box office is already very powerful. The global box office reached 3392 million US dollars on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After the first week, box office experts gave their final global box office predictions for "Pacific Rim".

According to the box office trend of the main box office in North America and mainland China, experts predict that the final global box office will exceed 5.4 million US dollars.

This data is stable to make money, and this does not include peripheral and subsequent copyright income. This peripheral and copyright income are very confusing. If the management is good, it can exceed the box office revenue by several times.

For example, Disney’s peripherals are three times more than Disney’s movie box office revenue, which is only 30% of Disney’s movie revenue, and the movie-related industry chain and its authorized brands account for 70% of revenue.

Although the surrounding business of "Pacific Rim" is not very ideal, it is because "Pacific Rim" has not really had a global impact.When follow-up films such as "Huan Tai 2, 3, 4" come out and audiences all over the world like them, then the real influence will come.

But at this stage, as long as "Pacific Rim" makes money, at least the domestic film companies can breathe a sigh of relief, proving that He Fang's line is correct and the strategy is no problem, which is worth their efforts. Throwing money into it.

What is the significance of "Pacific Rim"?There are many factors. Whether it can succeed is related to whether China has the ability to make heavy industry films, whether it can revitalize the route of Huying film industrialization, whether it can lead the reform of Chinese film, and whether it can boost domestic cultural confidence. The question of whether it can arouse investors' interest in the film industry, whether it can withstand the impact of Hollywood blockbusters...

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year [Pacific Rim] box office set a single-day box office record in Mainland China, 9051 million yuan"

"[Pacific Rim] started to make efforts on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and is expected to break the box office record in the Mainland"

"He Fang's [Pacific Rim] promise to regain the box office throne may be realized"

"He Fang's remarks in Hong Kong are open to question"

"As a director, He Fang shouldn't make such remarks"

"He Fang Brings His Experience to the Hong Kong Film Circle"

"Hong Kong and mainland films will enter into in-depth cooperation? "

"Minister Gu, have you seen what He Fang said in Hong Kong? What does it mean?" He Ben called Gu Yang early in the morning, he didn't know what to do.

"What do you mean? What can it mean? Hong Kong is a place of freedom of speech. Anyone can say anything. What's wrong with He Fang telling the truth? He is not a person in the system, and he does not represent anyone. He represents at most He himself, should he be restricted in what he says? Don't worry, it's fine." Gu Yang comforted He Ben on the phone.

"Are you okay?" He Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's all right, don't worry. The big leader also praised He Fang for seeing the problem to the point. He said that what he said in Hong Kong and the cooperation with people in the Hong Kong film circle are very good. If he can unite the people in the Hong Kong film circle, He Fang will be Great job."

"Hiss, that's good, that's good." He Ben felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately called He Fang. He Fang just got off the plane, and when he received a call from He Ben, he also smiled. He knew the great leaders and had great ambitions and new dreams.Therefore, he estimated that there was a high probability that there would be no problem before he dared to say those words.

……

Singapore is a city-state, but its significance is very important, and it is famous all over the world.

As soon as the crew of "Pacific Rim" arrived in Singapore, they were immediately surrounded by the media, and they asked where to go on various topics.

"Director He Fang, do your remarks on the Hong Kong issue represent the thoughts of the Mainland?"

"Director He Fang, is it true that mainland China will change its strategy towards Hong Kong?"

"Director He Fang..."

"Okay, okay, don't ask me these sensitive questions, I don't understand. The reason why I said those things in Hong Kong is that the reporter must answer me. What I said only represents my personal opinion, not The attitude of other people, I am just a director, and I am not in the system. How can you link what I said with the official attitude? Don’t ask me such a question, I won’t answer it. Ask a question about the movie, okay? ?”

He Fang sternly rejected the relevant questions, some words are too much to point, and too much will cause major incidents.

As a director, it's okay for him to say a few words occasionally, but if he keeps talking, it's a big problem.

When it comes to asking about movies, it’s an old man’s rehash, so I have to rehash what I’ve answered countless times by reporters from all over the world.

Singapore is a sacred place for Chinese in Southeast Asia, but unfortunately the place is too small for all Chinese to move here.

How many Chinese are there in Southeast Asia?There are 800 million in Thailand, 740 million in Malaysia, 370 million in Singapore, 120 million in Vietnam, 135 million in the Philippines and 280 million in Indonesia.There are 2445 million Chinese in these countries, and there are still a large number of Chinese who do not recognize the Chinese. It is estimated that there are hundreds of millions.

These more than 2000 million people can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and they have always preserved the traditional Chinese culture.

It is a pity that if there is a place that can accommodate a population of 5000 to [-] million and let the Chinese establish a country here, it may be a different scene.

Long story short, it is precisely because of the large number of Chinese that when the Chinese sci-fi blockbuster "Pacific Rim" was launched, the Chinese in Southeast Asia still supported it very much, just like they supported Hong Kong films back then.

The theaters in Singapore are basically controlled by the Chinese, so everyone is very good at arranging high-level films, but Singapore’s volume is too small, so it’s better than nothing.

However, many movie fans from Malay came to support.

The taste of the New Year in Singapore amazed several Hollywood stars. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival here is more serious, allowing them to experience the taste of the Chinese New Year from mainland China to overseas.

After finishing the activities in several theaters, they accepted an exclusive interview with Channel 8 of MediaCorp Singapore. Everyone spoke freely, and they could talk about anything without any restrictions on speech.

After recording the program, they flew to Bangkok.After getting off the plane, the domestic box office data for the second year of junior high school was also released. The single-day box office of "Pacific Rim" in mainland China reached a new high of 9566 million yuan in a single day.

The domestic media were stunned. It was nearly [-] million in a single day. This kind of data is so amazing that I never even thought about it.

The popularity of "Pacific Rim" has completely convinced domestic audiences of the production capabilities of domestic films, and there can also be such a phenomenon-level single film, with a single-day box office of over 2011 million. There are only 35 films, and many of them are Hollywood blockbusters.

Now the box office of "Pacific Rim" is a total box office of nearly [-] million movies a day, which makes many filmmakers unbearable. Those filmmakers who still embrace art are ready to move, why are they still playing art?Isn't it good with a box office of [-] million a day?
In addition to the collective explosion of filmmakers, even the capitals also exploded.[-] million a day is really exciting. If you start a factory and start a company and earn [-] million a year, you can go public. What is the concept of [-] million a day?
Well, the box office on the second day of the Lunar New Year made everyone's blood pressure soar, and it can be tolerated, but the box office on the third day of the Lunar New Year is still more than 9000 million, 9233 million, who can bear this frankly?Every day is more than 9000 million and nearly [-] million. This big Chinese New Year makes everyone feel that this money is too easy to earn.

So it was only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the big bosses asked the company's assistants to consult the leading film companies, asking them if they had a blockbuster film, and they were willing to invest in it.

A huge amount of capital began to be ready to pour into the film and television industry. Many movie company bosses were stunned. Is this how the capital came?This... is too simple, right?
Not only domestic capital is in chaos, but Hong Kong capital and filmmakers are also dumbfounded. Isn't this so frightening?One of their movies can earn 5000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, which is considered a good movie. The mainland market is actually soaring to [-] million a day?

What else is considered in the plan to go north to the mainland that He Fang said?Hurry up and start the project directly.

Of course, there are many chaos in it. When He Fang flew from Bangkok to Tokyo and received a call from some insiders, he was disturbed.

I had no choice but to post a Weibo on Weibo while I was free to curb this hot money.

"The domestic box office of "Pacific Rim" during the Spring Festival is very hot. As a director, I would like to thank all the fans for their support. However, I heard that because the box office of "Pacific Rim" is so good that some investors even feel uneasy during the Spring Festival. , ready to invest heavily in movies. I would like to advise investors here: the film market has risks, and investment must be prudent."

"Not all films will be as successful as "Pacific Rim". Although the Lake Film Group has an evaluation system, the evaluation system is not a panacea. Hollywood also has a green light system. They have passed the green light Is the screening of the system successful for every film? Obviously not."

"So, everyone, don't see "Pacific Rim" becoming popular, and throw money into it all at once. This will easily lead to a bunch of investments and losses. In the end, investors will exit bloody. After the hot money exits, the film and television industry will suffer more. "

"Invest cautiously. I solemnly appeal here. Don't be blind. The film and television industry is definitely an important track in the future. According to our estimates, my country's box office market will reach about 700 billion in ten years at most, which is comparable to North America's annual 100 billion US dollars." The market is comparable, and the scale of related industries brought about by the film and television industry will exceed 5000 billion. Therefore, in the next ten years, this will be a golden track. Don’t worry, you can only go on a good track if you start well. If everyone breaks down at the beginning, After that, the road will not go well.”

"That's all for now. If you can listen to it, be steady. If you can't listen to it, you won't be able to scold your mother."
