China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 515 The bleak situation of the film industry

Li Hao looked up at Yang Mi.

He couldn't help but show hesitation.

Are there any suitable roles?

Of course there is a suitable one!

After all, there are no problems with appearance, temperament, and acting skills.

But there is a problem here, that is, this VR movie will probably be difficult to launch in the past two years, and by the time it is launched, Yang Mi will be 40 years old!
What will the 40-year-old little fox look like?Can you still do it?
Li Hao has no idea!
Not every female celebrity still has the looks, temperament and appearance of Mr. Fan when she is 40 years old.

At the age of 40, there are many female celebrities who have two-tier looks.

Just like Da Meiyuan, her appearance was among the top ranks in the entertainment industry when she was young, but now, she is no longer competitive.

For another example, each of the 96 Eight Golden Flowers in China Opera no longer promoted their appearance and temperament early on, but focused on their acting skills.

At the age of 40, the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes cannot be stopped no matter how hard I try.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hao shook his head: "Mi Mi, this movie must be shot according to VR movies. VR technology is not yet good enough. I don't know when I will be able to complete the breakthrough. Let's talk about it then!"

"VR movie?" Yang Mi was surprised: "You started planning a VR movie so early?"

Now, there are actually VR movies, but they are all exploratory in nature.

"Yeah!" Li Hao nodded slightly: "I set up a VR technology company to specialize in VR technology and prepare for VR movies."

"Although there are some results now, they are not enough to support VR movies, so I don't know when this movie will be shot."

At this point, Yang Mi also knew.

This kind of thing cannot be forced.

If she forced it, it would make Li Hao unhappy.

Instead, the gains outweigh the losses.

Over the years, she had been with Li Hao, and she still knew him very well. She usually behaved well and acted coquettishly, which was harmless.

But if you force it, you won't succeed even once.

Li Hao is a master who takes soft things but not hard ones.

But if you make trouble, you can get what you want.

Not long after, the work assistant knocked on the door to remind them that they were ready and could start shooting.

Li Hao and Yang Mi left the lounge and began a day of intense shooting.

During the continuous intense filming of "The Three-Body Problem", the destructive power of this cold wave was clearly demonstrated, which in the film industry was reflected in the cliff-like drop in box office.

Throughout April, the total box office in mainland China was only 4.5 million!
This is simply unimaginable!The business ratio of theaters nationwide is less than 50%, and many movies have been temporarily withdrawn, falling to the lowest level since theaters resumed operations in 2020.

The entire May 7st schedule reappeared the collective withdrawal of movies, with only [-] films released. During the promotion period, "I Really Hate Long Distance Relationship" even had a promotional poster saying "Stick to the May [-]st schedule, we will not withdraw." As a result, the entire May [-]st batch only received tens of millions, and he was hit head-on and his head was bleeding.

The tragic situation of "I Really Hate Long Distance Relationship" makes those movies that were temporarily withdrawn from release can't help but gloat at the misfortune, but at the same time they are glad that they made the right decision. Otherwise, "I Really Hate Long Distance Relationship" would have the same fate. This will also be their fate.

The general environment is like this, no matter how good the movie is, it will be useless.

The result is that "Dou Po: The Finale" has been the box office champion every week until May!
Li Hao has heard complaints from colleagues more than once, thinking that if this continues, all the efforts made in the past two years will be in vain!
Chinese films have an excellent report card in the past two years, which is the result of concerted efforts from top to bottom.

As a result, there is now a cold wave, and instead of getting warmer, the cold winter is getting colder.

If theaters were able to grit their teeth and persevere in April, then in May, they almost collapsed!
The entire film and television industry can only be described as 'trough'. Small companies do not have enough funds to survive, while large companies are facing serious losses.Some movie theaters can't even pay their rent. Among the many companies, there are naturally many bankrupt companies that have lost their funds.

The downturn in the film industry has put great pressure on practitioners.

This made many people mention again that in 2020, Huang Wei, the vice president of Bona Pictures, jumped off the U-Tang Plaza.At that time, some netizens witnessed the whole process and heard his hysterical shouting.It is said that it may be depressive symptoms caused by long-term insomnia and excessive psychological stress.And Huang Wei is responsible for cinema investment!

Many people laugh at themselves. Huang Wei is the epitome of those currently involved in the film industry. This year, everyone's life is not easy.

Film and television companies and movie theaters are having a hard time.

The movies released in the past two or three months were miserable at the box office. The audience chose to vote with their feet and no longer reluctantly entered the cinema. Some people even listed the worst movies.

"Legendary Boy Wang Yangming" had a total of 62 moviegoers and a cumulative box office of 1956 yuan; "Legend of Red Flame" had a total of 56 moviegoers and a cumulative box office of 1824 yuan; "Volcano Love" had a total of 30 moviegoers and a cumulative box office of 1050 yuan. Yuan.
None of the movies released in the past two months have made money; they have all lost money to the point where they would vomit blood.

Even the Beijing University Student Film Festival has postponed its holding date to August 8th to September 19th!
At this time, a piece of news caused a big stir, that is, Zhou Xingchi also encountered an "economic crisis" and mortgaged his mansion worth [-] billion.As the recognized king of comedy in the film industry, Chow Sing-chi’s movies are always watchable. When talking about Chow Sing-chi’s movies, one can easily name a lot of names. In everyone’s impression, Chow Sing-chi must have accumulated a lot of experience over the years. A lot of wealth.

But this time it was revealed that Bigo Company under Zhou Xingchi's name had been losing nearly 6 million yuan for nine consecutive years, and then it was Zhou Xingchi who mortgaged a billion-dollar mansion on the top of the mountain!

In fact, Li Hao knows more or less the inside story. In 17, Modu New Culture bought 13.3% of the shares for 51 billion and signed a gambling agreement with Zhou Xingchi, promising that the profit will reach 2016 billion yuan from 2022 to 10.4. Otherwise, cash compensation or buyback will be made.

As a result, "The New King of Comedy", which had high hopes, failed at the box office. Coupled with the cold winter for more than two years, it naturally lost the gambling agreement.

Many people are sympathizing with him. In fact, Li Hao is noncommittal about this. Since he dares to sign a gambling agreement, he must perform it in accordance with the gambling agreement. There is no reason to only win and not lose.

Before Wang Ticong, it was not because he lost the gambling agreement and monopolized 20 billion holes that his business failed in despair.

Since you dare to play the gambling agreement, you have to bear the corresponding consequences.

During this cold wave, Li Hao thought with his fingers and knew that a large number of film and television companies would go bankrupt and even many movie theaters would choose to close down because they could not afford the rent, water and electricity bills.

When the tide recedes, you will find out who was swimming naked!
This sentence applies to every industry and every field!

Li Hao will not show any mercy. This is the cruelty of the market, or the capital market.

When making money, they expand aggressively without any rationality and will not consider what might happen one day.

And now, it's time to pay a heavy price.
