Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 438 The Beginning of the Big Box Office Era

"Do you still have time to write novels?"

Glancing at Liu Chang, Han Xue asked curiously, did this guy live a little too comfortably?

The same boss, look at the two horses, everyone is still advocating the extension of working hours, this guy is good, he stays in the country every day to catch fish, and he is known all over the country. Is this life too moist?
Moreover, this guy still has time to write novels now, which made Han Xue couldn't help but want to say that Liu Chang was not doing his job properly.

As the first veteran to start a business with Liu Chang, the relationship between Han Xue and Liu Chang is still very casual in private, that's why she said this to Liu Chang.

"How can I have time? I only wrote a few thousand words in the past three or five days. I wrote it for fun, but I didn't know that my grades were good. The editor in charge of the website has been looking for me and said that this novel can be adapted into a movie. Is it just me?" Did you find me?"

"Fat and water don't flow to outsiders, and I don't want to expose my situation very much, so I left this matter to you. After all, you are still in charge of the website in name."

After attending the opening ceremony of the author's annual meeting, Liu Chang found Han Xue and told Han Xue about his book.In addition to the relationship with Han Xue on the website, the film and television company is also considered to be Han Xue watching, so it is the most suitable to find her.

"Uh... I'll go back and say hello, and then I'll tell them. What's the name of your editor, I'll ask when the time comes."

The monk is still chatting with other editors in charge, and is waiting for news from Liu Chang.Among the editors in charge, they are all new editors. At this year's annual meeting, they are just going through the motions.

Because there are not many authors under them, those platinum authors are all led by old editors, and have little to do with them.

"I don't know when we will be able to produce two platinum authors, then we will be able to eat and drink hot food along with us."

When a few people were chatting, I couldn't help being a little envious of those senior editors, who had a few platinum authors in their hands, who not only improved their performance, but also followed the trend.

"Come on slowly, those old editors are also slowly getting over it."

The monk replied with a smile after hearing this, he was quite open to this.It's just that what he doesn't know is that he is now being talked about by the top boss of the company.

"Mr. Liu, when will you arrive in Kyoto? Do you want me to arrange someone to pick you up?"

Although he knew that Liu Chang didn't need to take the opportunity by himself, Lao Jiang still called Liu Chang. After cooperating in a movie and staying in Liu Chang's hometown for a long time, Lao Jiang and Liu Chang had a very good relationship, so they had a good relationship with each other. Interactions are also more casual.

In addition, several protagonists in this movie have a good relationship with Liu Chang.Especially Gang Pao, he is the director, and the movies he makes need theaters the most, so they are still very happy to reward Liu Chang's line.

Moreover, Liu Chang is more easy-going, he does not have the arrogance of a young man, nor does he have the arrogance of the richest man, so the superficial relationship is not bad.Xiaogangpao knew that Liu Chang wanted to build a film and television base here, and even said that if there was a chance, his movie would come here to film.

"I'm here, and I'm staying in the yard now. If you're not busy, come and have a seat together?"

Liu Chang came to Kyoto two days earlier, and brought his wife with him.The two were still left at home, and the mother-in-law helped to carry them.

Leaving aside the reasons for the investment, this movie also has a location in Shonan.If the box office of the movie is good, it can play a lot in the promotion of Shonan.In addition, Liu Chang also wanted to see what the final box office would be for this movie that came out ahead of schedule and had changes.

"It's going to be very busy. If it goes well, I guess I won't have time to sit with you until the movie is released."

After confirming that Liu Chang will come, Lao Jiang replied with a smile.He is still worried about this meeting, afraid that the movie will not do well at the box office.If the box office is good, it will have to be promoted in major cities across the country, and there is really no time.

"Well, then you are busy. I will go there with my wife then."

Liu Chang didn't tell Lao Jiang that the movie would be a big hit, because he wasn't sure himself.However, in the past two years, the movie box office has climbed to new highs every year. For Lao Jiang, this is a good sign.

"It's an interesting movie to make."

Lao Jiang's movie seems to be more refined than his previous life. Some special effects were made by the special effects department of Shonan Film and Television, and it's quite hilarious. Although it looks pleasing, it doesn't make people laugh.

From the perspective of Liu Chang having watched so many movies in his previous life, the box office of this movie should be good, Zhang Xue said to Liu Chang with a smile after watching it for a while.

"This guy has too many eyes."

After hearing this, Liu Chang smiled and replied, it shouldn't be a problem for this movie to sell well, and the box office will definitely be much better than in the previous life, but it remains to be seen whether it can break through the billion mark.

The one billion box office mentioned here refers to domestic, not foreign.In Liu Chang's impression, only the domestic box office has exceeded one billion, which indicates that the era of the real big box office in China is coming, a few years earlier than in the previous life.

Lao Jiang's movie is very good-looking, and the scenery in the movie is also beautifully shot. Many of the scenery in southern Shonen are shown.After this wave, the business in the old street and the city will improve again.

"The premiere box office is good, and this movie should not be too bad."

When Liu Chang returned to southern Hunan, Lao Jiang and Gang Pao came over and sat down with Liu Chang, and had a meal together.After the box office of the premiere came out, Lao Jiang gained a lot of confidence.

"It's more than good. If the current momentum continues, the box office of this movie may exceed one billion."

It's a lie for Steel Cannon to say that it doesn't envy. Over the years, the box office of movies has been growing rapidly every year. Many people are guessing when it will break one billion. They didn't expect this time to come so soon.

"Hehe, we still have to see, it's a little early to say."

Lao Jiang is actually not a humble person, and this will put a smug look on his face.If his movie breaks a billion, it will be a historic moment.

"The times are different, and it will become an era of big box office in the future. One billion will not be the end, and there will be more and more movies with billions in the future."

Liu Chang replied with a smile after hearing this.

"As long as you put your heart into making some movies, there will be a huge market in the future."

From the perspective of a layman like Liu Chang, domestic movies are just a few eras.

The earliest Wei Guangzheng, the movies at that time were also simple, anyway, they were just a few movies, which brought a lot of memories to Liu Chang and his youth.

Then switch to following the trend of Xiangjiang, or making some incomprehensible movies.The movies I made were just like that, many of them had no memory at all after watching them.

Then to the big investment of celebrities and celebrities, this is what it looks like now.Except that Shonan Film and Television is taking a different path, other companies have a little bit of it.

Invite this big star, that big star, more than half of the film salary is paid, and then all kinds of other special effects are [-] cents special effects, so although some people keep shouting that the box office has broken through [-] million, in fact, that is the case.

In the end, it will enter the era of making movies with heart. This era will gradually change in the memory of Liu Chang's previous life until he is reborn.

For example, if someone makes an animation with all their heart, there is no big name, and the box office still earns billions.As for those big names, they get a lot of salary and spend a lot of film investment, but they don't put their heart into making movies, so they rush.

After there are many such examples, those who think of relying on big names to cheat the box office will think about it, and then many people will really put their heart into making movies.

This is a good transition, but it takes time to transition slowly.Shonan Film and Television has been taking this route over the years and has made a lot of money, but they can't change the current status quo.

There are still many people who want to rely on big names to cheat the box office. Even Lao Jiang, although he has confidence in his films, he still has to bring some big names to the filming.

"Yeah, movies still need to be made with snacks, and big names alone are not enough. In this regard, Mr. Liu's Xiangnan Film and Television is doing really well, so you earn a lot."

After hearing this, Gang Pao laughed, and he was deeply touched by this point.For the same movie, after Shonan Film and Television lost the high-priced remuneration of big names, the saved money can be used to do a lot of things, so the movies they produced are basically box office hits.

Moreover, the investment cost is not high, so if you calculate it in this way, you can earn more.

A few people chatted for a while and then dispersed. Such things as investment and investment will not appear here. If there is a good project, the investment department of Shonan Film and Television will come to the door by itself.

And Liu Chang seldom cares about such things, even if he asks him for money, he won't bother.

Before Liu Chang returned to Shonan, he watched another movie, an animation.This movie is also invested by Shonan Film and Television, but the promotion is not as strong as Lao Jiang's movie, and the purpose is also to market the movie during the winter vacation.

After all, it's just an animation, and there are still no big-name animations. There is no other way to do this except for regular publicity.Shonan Film and Television itself does not have much confidence in this movie, it is just watching the market reaction as a water test movie.

So there are not many resources given out, but as long as the movie has a good momentum, the follow-up publicity will increase.

Liu Chang didn't intervene in these things. Although this animation was a project that he single-handedly brought over at the beginning, he didn't worry about the specific operations.

"This movie is also good. You can take our two children to watch it together when you go back."

There is no premiere for this movie, and it will be released after the promotion.Liu Chang took Zhang Xue to a nearby theater to watch it, and it felt good.

This is also a movie that has undergone a lot of changes. Because of sufficient funds and sufficient manpower, this animation is also much more refined than the previous life, and the picture quality is also very good.

As for the box office, Liu Chang didn't know because he was uncertain.

"Okay, anyway, this is also a film invested by our own film and television company, so we should contribute to the box office of our own company!"

After hearing this, Liu Chang replied with a smile, anyway, the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields.

The number of movie viewers in the theater is not too bad, about half of them, young people make up the majority, and there are also families with children watching together.

This probably has something to do with the protagonist of the movie. In China, the monkey is very popular, so it is not surprising that there are so many attendances at the premiere.

Whether or not this movie will become popular in the future depends on whether or not you put your heart into making the movie and how the quality of the movie is. This is very important.

This is very important to some of Liu Chang's plans, but it doesn't matter much to his investment. He can still afford to lose this little money.

After watching the movie, Liu Chang and Zhang Xue stayed in Kyoto for another night, and then flew back to their hometown with their bodyguards. They got off the plane in the province, and someone came to pick them up.

I went to Kyoto by plane and watched two movies.For Liu Chang now, this is nothing.For him in his previous life, this was a luxury.

"Mr. Liu, the box office of the movie has exceeded one billion!"

After returning to the countryside, Liu Chang entered the cat winter state again.Even the number of tourists coming to southern Shonan has gradually decreased by this time, because the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Liu Chang stayed at home for a while, Gong Ruxue called Liu Chang, Liu Chang had explained before.If Lao Jiang's movie can break one billion yuan, Shonan Film and Television will start to launch a blockbuster project in the next year.

It is a real blockbuster, not the kind of blockbuster that relies on a few big names to increase investment capital.The scripts have all been selected, there are several, but most of them are military-type themes.

After all, this is domestic.Many genres cannot be shot casually, and even if it is military, it has to be praised. As long as it is not too exaggerated, it does not affect anything in the script.

In addition, in recent years, Shonan Film and Television has produced many well-received and popular military dramas, which made the military very optimistic about their sincerity, and the cooperation between the two parties is also very harmonious. It is still very good for Shonan Film and Television to put scripts on the big screen. There are benefits.

In addition, due to some changes in recent years, the scale of film and television has been relaxed a lot, so the big production that Liu Chang and the others are going to use to test the water is a military theme.

"Well, next year Shonan Film and Television will release a blockbuster movie."

After hearing this, Liu Chang replied with a smile, this is something that was originally agreed, and Liu Chang will not go back on his word.And if they don't hurry up and let others come and wreak havoc, that would be too embarrassing.

"Lao Jiang's movie has surpassed one billion, and the cartoon we wholly produced will also exceed one billion. Judging from the current word-of-mouth and the number of viewers, it's scary that this movie will be even bigger than Lao Jiang's movie at the box office. high."

Gong Ruxue was not excited because Lao Jiang's movie had passed one billion, but that the animation they wholly owned had also surpassed one billion. This surprise came too unexpectedly.

"The Great Sage also wants to break one billion?"

Liu Chang was a little surprised when he heard it, as if everything had changed.But this is a good thing. The arrival of the era of big box office also means that some things will gradually change in the future.

"Well, it should be able to break one billion years ago. It's hard to say how much the final box office will be. It depends on the box office trend during the Spring Festival."

Generally speaking, the Chinese New Year's box office will drop slightly, because many people will spend the holidays with their families at home, or visit relatives.It's just that this trend changes every year, so the box office statistics for the Spring Festival cannot be accurately counted.
