Chapter 910 Disappointment
“If it’s a TiMi movie, I think it’s understandable to improve it by two points. This year’s domestic movies that have a box office of more than 200 million are basically produced by TiMi. If they have quality, theaters and producers can win-win... But I don’t think other movies can win. The producer has the right to raise the share..."
"From the perspective of the upstream and downstream of the film industry, the production risks of the upstream are greater than the investment risks of the downstream theaters. Box office revenue needs to be increased to be more fair."
"The box office of Hollywood movies only accounts for 20% of the movie's revenue, and the big companies are backed by media groups, so the six major Hollywood companies are particularly strong and can get 60%; but we are completely the other way around, accounting for 80% of the box office revenue. So the theater chain is strong...I don’t think there will be any changes this time..."
"That is, many industry experts say that 'in the modern film industry chain, the producer's share ratio should be 50%'... They don't know that the environment is different. Compared with European and American countries, China's theater chains are mostly Built in a downtown area, the operating costs are much higher than those in Europe and the United States..."
"Moreover, there are a lot of irregular operations in upstream production companies, which has led to an increase in production costs. The current method of directly transferring box office pressure to theaters is too simple and crude... and directly issuing notices will directly lead to the development of the industry from no longer trusting and confronting each other. The layout... I don’t think it’s appropriate!”
On Weibo, there were originally a lot of discussions about Huayi...
Everyone shut up!
Huayi's skill is really beautiful, secretly communicating the music style, secretly checking Chen Cang...
Straight backstab!
The person who reacted the most intensely was Qin Hong from Xingmei. He directly posted on Weibo, "Life will always be about learning." This incident has allowed me to learn and get to know you more deeply. ’
By the way, the revenue sharing ratio of "The King's Feast" was announced: "43% in the first week, 41% in the second week, and 39% in the second week until the second film."
This is a dead blow to "1942"!
It's a pity that "The King's Feast" is too literary and artistic and is not a commercial film at all. Even if it has an investment of over 100 million and even if it has a star-studded cast, its narrative method is not typical.
…
On the crew of "Love", several assistant directors chatted:
"It's understandable that "Boy" and "Arcade" are gaining momentum, but Huayi still hasn't finished Wanda and New Film Alliance...you must be anxious!"
""The Sword of Jianghu" is too satirical..."
"It's a thoughtful film to make a political drama based on a historical drama. When I watched it, I was even a little worried that it would be banned..."
"The director is also very sincere. He said that the most difficult thing about writing this script was to avoid Internet jokes...I heard that at a cocktail party, he held a wine glass and told Mr. Zhao Linhai this story, and then Mr. Zhao pushed it with all his strength..."
"The box office has exceeded 100 million, right?"
"Well, it's already 120 million, and it's estimated to be around 300 million..."
"...It's still awesome. I heard the cost was less than 8 million..."
"The ending is not happy..."
While they were discussing, Shen Xudong came over and said, "What are we talking about?"
"Discussing "The Sword of Jianghu"..."
Shen Xudong joined in: "This movie is very satirical and low-cost. It seemed like it only took more than 20 days to shoot. It is a movie with a winning story..."
"Director, I heard that this film was recommended by Mr. Zhao?"
"Well... We have more than a dozen studios in our company. Although most of them focus on TV dramas, if we come across a good script, we will definitely win it." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "If you have any ideas , you can also submit scripts!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Hu, one of the assistant directors, raised his hand: "Director, have you seen "Swordsman's Fight to the Death"?"
""Swordsman's Life and Death Battle"?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "I only know "Rurouni Kenshin" and "Chaos Samurai"..."
"I want to make a film like that..."
"Then you design the main framework..." After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "I know a screenwriter named Guo Zisheng. He has always wanted to do martial arts. You can come and have a chat..."
Guo Zisheng is a screenwriter for the movie channel, and his representative work is the "Monk Detective" series, as well as "Big Shot", "Lies in Sicily"...
"The attractions of martial arts movies have always been the romance of flying over the wall and the exhilaration of gratification. Without these two points, it cannot be regarded as a martial arts movie... It is indeed in decline now. The main reason is aesthetic fatigue, because the plot routines of martial arts movies , people are too familiar with it, and it is difficult to attract people in the plot... Calculate for yourself, there are several major factors: martial arts secrets, revenge for killing your father, peerless treasures, domination of the martial arts, love and hatred, poisoning and detoxification, Jin Yong is more awesome, If you have a new idea, I will definitely invest in it!"
"...Then I'll go back and think about it..."
"Well...if you have time, I'll introduce you to Jiahe. They are currently producing "The Prequel" and "One Sword of the City"..."
"good!"
"what about you?"
Shen Xudong turned to look at the other assistant directors. Some of them were about to speak when Chen Xi came over.
: "Xudong..."
"...I'm leaving first. If you have anything you want to try, remember to write a script first..."
…
Chen Xi came here to discuss with Shen Xudong how to deal with the current situation.
Huayi stabbed her in the back, and Xingmei fought back angrily...
The alliance of the six major producers collapsed. Bona and Enlight announced that they would abide by the 43% split and no longer raise prices...
Now it depends on what Tianmei Media and China Film Group mean!
Shen Xudong complained first: "What did I say before... I told you not to get involved..."
Chen Xi was not polite at all: "If it weren't for your Weibo post yesterday, we wouldn't be so passive!"
"passive?"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't take a stand before? If you can resist not taking a stand, then Huayi's attitude will be equivalent to ours..."
The initial strategy was indeed to follow Huayi...
After all, Huayi is the first!
"Actually, in terms of cost, whether it's "囧" or "One Shot", they are all medium-cost... Even according to the previous split, we will definitely be able to make back the money..."
Shen Xudong shook his head: "But we can't always make mid-budget movies. Guo Fan is making "Earth Fire", I am preparing "Feed All Mankind", and the subsequent "The Wandering Earth"... These are all big-investment movies. 43% of the accounts cannot be guaranteed to be profitable!”
"...Hey, now Huayi has surrendered, do we still want to persist?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while and asked: "...What did Gao Jun say?"
“President Gao said we’ll forget about the Lunar New Year show this year and we’ll talk about it next year…after all, the producers are not responsible!”
Shen Xudong couldn't help but cursed: "Mahler Gobi, he does nothing all day long and only knows how to give blind instructions. I really doubt that these people have any ulterior motives..."
"You posted on Weibo, but I didn't see any feedback from "XX Daily"..."
"Is there anything I can give you feedback? Did I say something wrong? Everyone knows the overall situation... He understands the overall situation..."
After scolding, Shen Xudong sighed: "Let's forget it this time?"
"What can we do?"
"…I want a 45% share of the account…"
"We originally wanted to continue according to the previous division of accounts,"
