Start earning money as the girl next door

Later, the number of movie theater chains increased, and it developed into the leader in the domestic movie theater chain field.

Take Wanda Cinema Line as an example to become the industry leader. You will know that the expansion of many cinema chain giants is not necessarily entirely for the movie itself, but a by-product of other business layouts.

Later, the real estate industry failed, and theater chains continued to expand despite the trend.And why?Isn't it simpler?

It can't be sold anymore, it's lost in my own hands, but I have to find a way to revitalize myself, invest in some real industries such as movie theaters, and finally get back some of the sunk capital.

Some real estate properties cannot be sold or rented out due to a serious lack of liquidity.In fact, finding ways to run and revitalize your own business is a way to save yourself.

Like a movie theater, it can increase the popularity of the surrounding area.

If the movie theater activates the popularity of the surrounding area and other idle real estate can be sold or rented out, wouldn't it be effective?

For various reasons, the real estate industry is developing rapidly and the number of theaters is increasing.The real estate industry is in decline, the house is in your hand, but the number of theaters continues to grow!

Although, the growth in the number of screens in movie theater chains is not purely due to the real estate industry.But the real estate industry is indeed one of the main forces driving the expansion of the number of cinema screens.

“The reason why I disdain real estate speculation is not because I am arrogant!

It’s not that you don’t earn money!

Rather, it is clear that the Internet is the direction of greater growth space, why invest in the real estate industry, which only has room for price increases of several times? "Zhao Han couldn't help but smile.

If a reborn person's vision is to only make a small fortune by buying and speculating houses, his vision is so shallow. It can't be overstated to be a frog in the well, right?

Chapter 478 The Third Movie

When the movie "Rebirth 2" was still released.

Wenjing Media's third film "The Swordsman" is also scheduled to start production in December.

The budget of 300 million yuan is higher than the budget of "Rebirth 1".After all, martial arts movies are more technically complex.

Cha Chuanyi served as the director, and also found a group of skilled behind-the-scenes teams in Hong Kong.

The most indispensable thing in Hong Kong right now is skilled workers who have shot a large number of films and TV shows. These behind-the-scenes staff are the real treasures worth exploring.

Many of the people behind the scenes, although not highly educated, have the experience and skills they have honed over more than ten to thirty years in the industry.

Their craftsmanship is more exquisite than those who have just graduated from the three major film and television academies in the country.

In terms of potential, the potential of Hong Kong movies may be gradually exhausted, and not many newcomers are willing to join the industry.

Only tens of thousands of skilled industry senior practitioners accumulated over the years are left.

These skilled workers can be fully utilized, and more investment can lead to employment. In essence, it is not only cost-effective.

Moreover... you can still help and mentor, pressing an accelerator button for the growth of talents in the mainland film industry.

For example, Cha Chuanyi originally developed in the mainland after the decline of the Hong Kong circle.

Later in the video era, people began to look for cheap senior directors and behind-the-scenes work. Cha Chuanyi even came out of nowhere and accepted many TV series invested by video websites, mostly in ancient costumes, martial arts and the like.

The reason is also very simple. Zha Chuanyi is similar to a weakened version of Wang Jing.

There are many types of movies and TV series produced, and the genres are also very complex.In fact, when he entered the industry, he started with martial arts films.

For example, he co-directed "Once Upon a Time" in 1981 and debuted as a director.Then, the movies he made in the 80s, such as "Kung Fu", "Shui'er Samurai", "Swordsman", "Tian Wai Tian", etc., were all martial arts films.

After that, from the late 80s to the 90s, there were gradually more movies and TV dramas with modern themes.

According to their abilities, both movies and TV series are good at it.He is good at martial arts movies and can also shoot modern urban themes.

The crew of "The Swordsman" is still in Jiangcheng County.

Although Jiangcheng County does not have any of the top scenic spots in the country, it does have some historic sites.

There are also some temples on the mountain.

There are even some rural areas that retain the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

When shooting some costume dramas, there are a lot of places where you can take pictures.

The scenes in the early stages of the movie are only ancient cities that are unknown in the world, and they do not necessarily need to be shot in famous scenes.

Basically, the crew is filming in Jiangcheng County and will audition some amateur actors from Jiangcheng County. As long as you have a dream of becoming a star, you can actually give it a try.

In fact, Wenjing Media has made advance arrangements for this type of work. It has opened a training class for Internet celebrity actors in Jiangcheng County. There is no academic qualification requirement. It mainly uses the model of overseas artist training classes for training.

However, it is not limited to various abilities in the entertainment industry, there are also some internet celebrity skills training.The main thing is that even if the selected candidates are not selected by the crew, they can still become Internet celebrities in the company.

Even if you can’t be an internet celebrity, can you still be a professional troll in a company?

In order to bring goods, Wen Wen Jingjing's company has cultivated a lot of navy.

However, the navy is not very aggressive. They mainly focus on promoting their own products and will not blindly start wars and expand the scope of their attacks.

In general, this kind of crew filming in Jiangcheng County actually brings consumption, taxation and job opportunities to Jiangcheng County.

"Director Cha, how are you preparing for your movie?" Zhao Han asked.

"The cast list has been initially determined."

Cha Chuanyi said, "Amateur actors are the main actors, and the pay is extremely cheap, with a total salary of 8 yuan. The labor cost behind the scenes is more than 30 yuan.

There is only about 40 in labor costs in the budget, and other filming expenses are relatively abundant! "

"Do you feel confident about filming "The Legend of Swordsman"?" Zhao Han asked.

"The filming was not difficult. The crew and behind the scenes are all experienced people. Everyone has made more than one martial arts film."

Zha Chuanyi smiled and said, "The main selling point is that modern people have reached the ancient world!

I think the difference between modern and ancient times requires a lot of visual effort.

In addition, the protagonist will have a complex psychology, feeling that the ancient world was lawless, and making all kinds of complaints.

Internal narration to highlight the difference.These emphasize that the protagonist is a modern person traveling to ancient times! "

Zhao Han said: "How to shoot specifically!

I don’t have any opinions, but generally speaking, the photos should be sincere and not perfunctory.

If you don’t mess with the audience, the audience won’t mess with the film’s production team at the box office! "

Zhao Han naturally knows that making movies is similar to writing.

It looks easy but is difficult to do.

In the eyes of the audience, this is not good and that is not good, but in fact, when you go on stage, most of you will find that you are even less good.

The threshold for movies is higher than for writing, and it’s not just the financial threshold.And use various equipment and cooperate with different types of work.

Making a movie is a complex engineering project that involves different types of work.

Moreover, it is not a standardized project, but a project that is personalized for each drama.

Engineering construction is something we all know, and it requires an expert to do it professionally.What I fear most is a bunch of laymen who don’t know how to do things blindly.

Therefore, Zhao Han mainly spends money to do things for experts.

The behind-the-scenes team in Hong Kong searched for non-celebrities in China and selected some ordinary people who fit the characteristics of the characters.

As for acting skills, it actually mainly depends on the training of the director and the crew.

Many big-name actors are relatively perfunctory, but there may not be reliable amateur actors who are purely grassroots and willing to cooperate.

Hong Kong films are actually that way. Most of the practitioners have not received professional training at the beginning, and they have entered the industry with the mentality of giving it a try. Through trial and error, many people have gradually gained experience in practice.

Very few Hong Kong films have training, and these are short-term training courses offered by TVB and the like.

Later, TVB gradually stopped training.Train a woolen cloth, train your wings and harden your wings, go out to develop yourself, and make wedding dresses for your peers?There was almost no training, and I just relied on working on the set to gain experience.

To put it simply, the domestic film and television industry’s specialized training courses provide a lot of theory in one go.

However, these theories seem to want to cultivate an all-rounder in every detail, but in fact, after participating in work, they may not necessarily be transformed into work ability.

People with professional training are equivalent to airbenders.In the early stage, you may have a little less work experience, and you may know a little bit about everything, but you may not be proficient in any specific work.However, it is necessary to constantly activate knowledge through practice, gradually accumulate knowledge, and become a more comprehensive film talent.

The Hong Kong industry is all about hard work. If you don’t understand theory, it’s okay. Get into the industry first and then talk about it after you’ve done it!

After being in the crew for a long time, I gradually understood it and mastered some personal experience and unique skills.

Essentially, both are paths to growth.

It can only be said that the academy is all about Qi training and there are few opportunities to practice swordsmanship.

The mainstream swordsman in Hong Kong, practicing Qi?It doesn’t matter if you don’t practice, just learn a few sword moves first so that you can gain a firm foothold in the world.It’s okay to practice Qi later if you have the opportunity.

Generally speaking, the model of the Hong Kong circle is through market training, big waves wash away the sand, and the survival of the fittest.

It is not through training talents, but people learn and comprehend in their own practice. Generally, the skills they master are not comprehensive and lack the support of comprehensive film theory knowledge. Some people in the Hong Kong industry rely on three tricks to make a living in the industry. eat.

Zhao Han has no prejudice against group performance circles in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai or even Hengdian.

In essence, all kinds of circles are formed for the purpose of grouping together and gaining benefits.All major circles like to introduce resources to each other to their acquaintances, so insiders change their ways and turn the capital investment into an opportunity for insiders to share the spoils.

As capital, Zhao Han will not be fooled by the box office appeal of any so-called star or director.

The film and television industry is the result of the development of the entire industry chain. It is not just the two most popular people who make most of the contributions.

In an environment where the number of screens continues to increase, no matter how popular you are, if you give up your position, someone will soon be more popular than you.

Relatively speaking, if you are too popular, have too much appeal at the box office, the asking price is too high, the budget is too high, and it is not easy to make a profit, then I will not invest and don’t want you!

I just want a group of people with low cost performance!

It’s best if you lack investment and are seasoned veterans who have been in the business for many years!

The biggest probability of losing money in the film and television industry is that the film directors and stars are overestimated and the budget given is too high.

On the contrary, a large number of low-cost movies have driven down prices.Even if many box-offices are poor, if a dark horse movie is an unpopular one, then even the original profit will be made back!

What's more, as a layman, even if Zhao Han is a reborn person, he doesn't know who is cheating and who is not!

Therefore, we first use low-cost movies to test the people in the industry and build mutual trust first.

"Boss, I will cherish the opportunity!" Zha Chuanyi was naturally envious of his old friend Zhong Jichang's popularity!

And he gradually felt that Ah Zhong's success was not due to his strength.

The main thing is that Ah Zhong met a good boss.

A noble person like Zhao Han not only arranges for him movie themes that have a high probability of becoming hits.

Moreover, there will be follow-up Internet announcements. The popularity on the Internet will drive countless media news reports to follow suit. It is impossible not to sell well at the box office!

"There will be opportunities!"

Zhao Han said, “As long as you can prove yourself, there will be a steady stream of opportunities.

If the film fails, I will still give you a chance, but I will only give low-cost opportunities!

I won't encourage others to make things happen. Blockbuster directors take things one step at a time.Only if you can do this, control a certain budget, and have a high probability of not losing money, can you move on to the next step!

The domestic screen market is increasing year by year. As long as you are here and enjoy the scale growth, I will gradually increase investment as the market grows!

If you have the ability, sooner or later you will be able to control a larger budget and make a movie with a box office of over [-] million or more! "

"I know!" Zha Chuanyi nodded and said, "Only if you work hard and make good works, you will be rewarded!"

Chapter 479: Watched the bad movie twice

December 2005, 12.

It was a tragic day for Zhao Han. He watched "The Promise" twice with Liu Meng, Cheng Meng and Chen Jingjing.

Even though he was mentally prepared to revisit a bad movie, Zhao Han still felt that it was a waste of money to make this movie like this.

"Chen Kaige's "The Promise" is really bad." Chen Jingjing commented, "It's like there are a lot of bugs in the program. It was released on the market without rigorous testing and polishing."

"On the one hand, they are not very good at handling such a large amount of funds. If they make small-budget feature films that the so-called fifth generation directors are good at, with a budget of less than 500 million, maybe they have the guts to make a watchable film.

But with a budget of several hundred million, that would be a bad thing.

He spends money uncontrollably. He may have spent a lot of money thinking he had a lot of money at first, but later found out that the money was basically spent, and the film turned into a shabby semi-finished product. To make up for it, he may have to spend no less than what he spent before. money.

Generally speaking, when a movie is made like this, the cost of silence is already high.

Whether it's not being released, or reshooting and reshooting, it's a huge expense!Therefore, in order to recoup costs and be unwilling to invest more, the producer could only release the half-finished film. "

Zhao Han commented truthfully, “The biggest problem with this kind of movie is that a director who does not have the experience to manage a budget of several hundred million forces himself to do a big project that he is not good at.

Those directors who have really made many blockbusters and spent a lot of money can actually spend the money on the right place.In the end, the blockbusters produced will be expensive, but they will generally be qualified blockbusters! "
