Huayu since 1980

Chapter 993 The Current Situation of the Domestic Film Industry

"Very good, everyone has worked hard during this time!"

On the third floor of Tangting Culture, Wu Jianye sat in the screening room, looked at the special effects people of Tangting and the post-editing staff of Tangting Culture next to him with a look of relief, and said seriously.

When the time entered December, the post-production and special effects of "Inception" were finally completed!

Just now, Wu Jianye watched the whole movie with the post-editing team led by Tangting Special Effects and Tangting Culture Zhao Le, and Wu Jianye was very satisfied with the effects presented in the movie!

The special effects in the movie were perfectly produced by Liang Zhengting and others, and the editing of the movie made Zhao Le cut it without any violation. The whole movie can be said to be very perfect!

"I believe that through this experience, everyone's achievements in special effects are not inferior to Hollywood's level. Congratulations!" Wu Jianye said to Liang Zhengting and others.

Liang Zhengting, Huang Zilu and others also showed happy smiles, especially Liang Zhengting said happily: "Director Wu, there is one more thing to report to you!"

Wu Jianye asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Liang Zhengting said: "It's like this. In the past two days, we received a call from James Cameron. He invited our company to join the special effects work of the movie "Titanic" he is currently producing!"

After Wu Jianye listened to it, he also showed a happy smile. He didn't tell James Cameron about this matter beforehand. It was purely because James Cameron had an understanding after watching the movie "Eternal Night". The trust of Tangting Special Effects invites Tangting Special Effects!

This has actually demonstrated the ability of Tangting's special effects!

"Then congratulations to you all. James Cameron is a world-recognized master of special effects. Being able to cooperate with him, I believe, will also be of great help to increase the influence of Tangting's special effects in the world!"

Wu Jianye praised!

The combination of James Cameron + "Titanic", in 97, was originally a combination of Wang Zha, and Tangting special effects can be added to such a combination, as Wu Jianye said, they have already gained the world recognition!

This is actually also due to the movie "Eternal Night". It is the appearance of the upper and lower parts of "Eternal Night", coupled with Wu Jianye's influence, that made these two movies released worldwide. The special effects have amazed the world, and made film production companies around the world realize the magnificent special effects!
If you add "Inception" which will be released in the Spring Festival next year, I believe that the reputation of the special effects will be completely recognized worldwide!

In fact, this is exactly the case. After the release of "Inception", the special effects immediately shocked all audiences and film production companies!
And Tangting Special Effects also took advantage of this battle to become famous among special effects companies around the world. It is listed as the world's top three special effects companies along with Phantom Media's digital field and Industrial Light & Magic!
"Tonight, the company has reserved a seat at Dai's Restaurant, let's celebrate!" Wu Jianye said.

Immediately, there were cheers in the screening room.

That night, Wu Jianye held a banquet for everyone at Dai's Restaurant to celebrate their achievements, but the happiest time was when Wu Jianye gave out the bonus.

On the second day, Tangting Culture handed over the finished film of "Inception" to the radio and television for review!
The commissioner in charge of the review, after watching this movie, had a shocked expression on his face, which could not fade away for a long time. No one thought that such a powerful movie could be produced in China. Originally, the radio and television station had given the green light to Wu Jianye's movie. This time there will be no more problems!
Tangting Culture replied almost as quickly as possible. This movie has no problems and passed the review without any cuts!

After Huang Jianxin got the news, he immediately started to arrange the promotional activities before the release of "Inception". As for the movie's schedule, it was set early on the first day of 1996, the first day of the New Year!
When "Inception" started to be promoted, Zhuo Wei Film Company's "When Will You Come Again" also entered the promotion stage, but it is impossible for this movie to have as much publicity as "Inception".

Their propaganda method is only one, and that is Pengci's "Inception"!
Huang Jianxin didn't even report to Wu Jianye about the behavior of Zhuo Wei Film Company. They had already set up a big net and were waiting for Zhuo Wei Film Company to come in!
All this is going on in an orderly manner.

And Wu Jianye's life has once again entered a period of peace.

In the middle, Wu Jianye went to the Xiangjiang River again, accompanied by Gong Xi and Wu Qichen for a few days, and finally flew to the Caribbean Sea to check the construction of the small island over there.

Life is very comfortable!
During this year, many major events took place in the domestic film industry, but what interested Wu Jianye the most was the rise of some film directors and the development of the domestic film industry.

Last year, apart from Wu Jianye's films, imported Hollywood films, Hong Kong films, and Hong Kong films, among the films released in China, Jiang Yun's "Sunny Day" had the highest box office, with a box office of 7000 million. !

However, this year, among the films released by domestic studios and film companies, three films broke through 5000 million at the box office, and one of them even exceeded 7000 million at the box office!
And there are as many as seven movies with 3000 million to 5000 million!

All this indicates that domestic films have entered a stage of rapid development!

Last year, a group of outstanding new directors appeared in China. The box office of Guan Hu's "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" exceeded 8000 million. However, because of the participation of Liang Jiahui, Zhang Manyu and others, this film cannot be regarded as a domestic film. It is not a movie, but it is counted as a co-production movie!
Wang Tao of Beixue Film Company also released his own new movie this year, which is still a martial arts movie. After listening to Wu Jianye's opinion, Wang Tao gave up those so-called showy things in his new movie and stepped on it. Truly told a story.

Therefore, the film's box office is as high as 5600 million, which is the second highest box office among domestic domestic films this year. With this film, Wang Tao has officially entered the domestic film industry and has become a film director with great box office appeal!

But what makes the media more interested is the love story between Wang Tao and the heroine Dandan in his new movie. The relationship between the two has been reported by the media, and the two have not concealed this relationship. live together!

And Dandan was promoted to the ranks of domestic first-line female movie stars by virtue of two big-selling movies last year!

Very popular!

At the same time, her experience in Hengdian Film and Television City was also reported by the media. However, under the operation of Tangting Culture, the media paid more attention to how Dandan became an inspirational road from a group performer to a domestic first-line actress.

After a series of reports, Dandan became the idol in the hearts of the group performers in Hengdian Film and Television City. Everyone who joined Hengdian as a group performer hoped that he could become the second Dandan!

At the same time, the appearance of Wang Tao actually gave many new directors the opportunity to make their debut. Although some capital is looking at whether people in the film critic industry can become directors with box office, they are also working hard to discover other directors, especially some directors. A cutting-edge director who already has a certain reputation, but because of the studio's system, there is no filmmaking!
Among the newly released movies this year, only three were shot by such directors!

Because of the involvement of capital, the development of the film industry is also progressing steadily. This year, there are as many as a dozen new film companies.

Especially in Hengdian, because of the existence of Hengdian Film and Television City, Hengdian discovered the potential of the film and television industry early, so it gave extremely preferential policies to film and television companies registered locally, and it became a spring for film and television companies here for a while!

Many newly established film and television companies choose this place as their registration place!
With the involvement of private capital, film and television companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

However, the original domestic studios with national brands are facing their own cold winter at this time. Although the domestic film and television industry has risen, the studios with national brands have too many people to support, and at the same time their own Rigidity of the factory system and other issues.

In the competition with private film and television companies, they gradually fell behind, and the loss of talents was extremely serious.

Even though they are already actively trying to save themselves, looking at the current situation, the possibility of them wanting to save themselves is very small!

This can also be seen from the second half of this year when Standard Chartered Bank began to tighten loans to studios!
The domestic film and television industry is undergoing tremendous changes. If the studios cannot think of countermeasures in time, it is inevitable that they will fall behind!

At the same time, it is not only the national film studios that are facing the possibility of being eliminated, but the national theater companies are also facing this situation.

The equipment is outdated, the viewing environment cannot keep up with the trend, and the management is chaotic, all of which are the problems of the national theater company. With the success of Fengge Cinemas in China.

It also attracted part of the capital to enter the theater market. Although they do not have the abundant funds of Fengge Cinema, they are still trying to do it in a certain area, so they will see various theaters appear in some cities. Some are one or two, and some are four or five. Although they are small, they are also impacting the original national theater companies!
Now there is only one way left for the national theater chain company, the reform with determination, but the difficulty of this kind of reform is no less than the reform of the studio.

It is even more difficult than the reform of the studio!
Because their interior is more chaotic and factions are more serious!

I believe that with the rise of domestic cinema companies, distribution companies with national names will gradually disappear, and only a few that can truly reform will survive!
Prior to this, China Film Group specifically approached Wu Jianye, because China Film Court Court Line wanted to incorporate these theater companies, but this involved not only a large amount of capital investment, but also the arrangements for the staff of the original theaters, etc. Wait for a series of things.

In the past, it was Wu Jianye who wanted to harvest those distribution companies, but now that the scale of Fengge Cinemas is getting bigger and bigger, Wu Jianye no longer has such an idea.

At this time, the domestic distribution company is already a burden in Wu Jianye's view, not a sweet pastry to expand his own strength!

However, as China Film Group, it is impossible to consider the same things as Wu Jianye, who only considers the relationship of interests, and they also need to consider more other things.

Later, Wu Jianye was told by China Film that there was no other way, so he decided to invest more, but one thing was that the staff must be reduced, and the staff who were superfluous in their positions must not be retained!

Use the way of competitive recruitment!
In the end, China Film also adopted Wu Jianye's suggestion. After all, they couldn't afford to support so many people, and they might even drag down the courtyard line of China Film Hall in the end!

Moreover, the Zhongyingtang Courtyard Line adopts a voluntary method, which means that those distribution companies at the city and county levels can join voluntarily, and China Film Studios who are not voluntary will not force it!

Originally, China Film Group thought that such a model would definitely attract many distribution companies to join, but in fact, very few responded.
Generally speaking, the current domestic distribution channel is still dominated by Fengge Theater Line. Although China Film Hall Courtyard Line is backed by China Film Group and has more screens, but because of the presence of national distribution companies, the resulting On the contrary, the benefits and contribution to the box office are not as much as that of Fengge Cinema!

At this time, Fengge Theaters is still continuing its expansion across the country, and has begun to develop from second-tier cities in China to third-tier cities!
On this day, at Dai's Restaurant, Wu Jianye attended Chen Peisi's film celebration banquet!
"Congratulations, if there are no accidents, your movie will become the national box office champion!" Wu Jianye congratulated Chen Peisi at the banquet!

I said before that Wang Tao's movie this year has a box office of 5600 million and now ranks second in the national box office list, and the one that ranks first is actually Chen Peisi's comedy!

Because of the existence of Fengge Cinemas in this time and space, Chen Peisi's comedy movies are completely different from the other time and space!

At this time, Chen Peisi is the hottest comedy star in the country. Ge You, who has not yet participated in Feng Pants' New Year's movie, is still worse than Chen Peisi at this time!

This year, Chen Peisi released a movie that Wu Jianye had never seen before, but when the movie was released, it got a box office of 7330 million!

Such a result naturally made Chen Peisi very happy!

It is estimated that in this life, it is impossible for Chen Peisi to act in a drama again!

But what I want to say is that although Chen Peisi's movies have surpassed Wang Tao's movies at the domestic box office, in terms of overseas distribution, Wang Tao's movies still beat Chen Peisi's comedy movies at the overseas box office!
This is also unavoidable, Chen Peisi's movie is a modern movie, and the jokes and cultural attributes in it are more in line with the aesthetics of domestic audiences!

"It should be congratulations to us!" Chen Peisi said with a big smile.

Although Chen Peisi's film was shot by his own film and television company, Tangting Culture invested in it, and Tangting Culture was responsible for distribution. The two companies have established a deep cooperative relationship!

That's why Chen Peisi said this at this time!
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Let's celebrate together!"

Chen Peisi laughed and said, "That's right, let's celebrate together!"
