Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 200: Super High Volume and Highest Accounting Ratio "Happy National Day! "

After beating the reporter, Feng Pants' complexion eased.

Then, he changed the subject and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of "If You Are the One 2" and "Edge of Tomorrow".

It wasn't that he didn't want to spray again, but that he saw Fang Ziheng.

"Some people say that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a big rival of "If You Are the One 2". I admit this, after all, the total investment of the movie is there."

"Other things needless to say, based on Director Fang's screenwriting skills, "Edge of Tomorrow" will not be far behind."

"But what I want to say is that the total investment of "If You Are the One 2" is only about 5000 million yuan, and the cost of the early placement advertisements has already been recovered. After the film is released, no matter how many box offices it earns, and "Edge of Tomorrow" must get at least 8. Only with a box office of [-] million yuan can it be worthwhile to pay back."

"Of course, I believe that "Edge of Tomorrow", as the first hard science fiction in China, will definitely achieve good results."

Feng Trousers opened his mouth slowly, while secretly complaining about Fang Ziheng's chicken thief in his heart.

This guy!
If you are full, you actually sneaked to see my excitement!

Forget it, the visitor is a guest.

Old Feng, I don't care about young people.

Feng Pants walked down the steps, dropped the reporter and walked towards Fang Ziheng.

When he moved, the reporters were stunned!

That's it!

What are you running?

Immediately, the reporters followed Feng Pants to see where they wanted him to go and whether they were avoiding the topic.

When they saw Fang Ziheng, everyone was overjoyed.

I'm going!

It turned out that the rightful owner had arrived, Feng Pants was not good at bragging in person, he was worried about being slapped in the face!

The reporters looked at each other, and they all saw the playfulness flashing in the eyes of their colleagues.

"Oh, sin, sin!"

"My eyesight is not very good, I didn't see Director Fang coming at the first time."

With a smile on Feng Kuant's face, his heart felt numb, and he clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards Fang Ziheng.

Fang Ziheng got up quickly, and said cheerfully: "Director Feng, you are a young man, and you look better than a 20-year-old young man. You are a role model for my generation!"

The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Anyone who saw it would feel that the relationship was unusual.

After taking a few photos, the reporter wanted to interview Fang Ziheng, but he explicitly refused.

joke.

He came to eat melons, but he didn't want to get angry.

In the previous wave, although Feng Pants didn't swear, his words were very serious. The media will definitely grasp the key points and report them at the right time.

If "If You Are the One 2" is better than "Let the Bullets Fly", these words are nothing. If they can't beat Feng Pants, at least he will be labeled by the media as bragging and trampling on his peers.

At 06:30, all the guests arrived.

Feng Pants brought the main creator of the movie to the stage, and made another joke before the movie officially started.

Fang Ziheng sat in the middle of the second row, chatting with Wang Zhonglei in a low voice while watching the movie.

Seriously speaking, "If You Are the One 2" is not bad, reaching the quasi-first-class level of comedy films.

Of course, the second part is definitely not as good as the first one.

As Feng Kuantao said later, "If You Are the One 2" was filmed in order to repay Xiao Wang's favor, and it was not at his top level.

But just after the movie was released, he would never tell the truth no matter what, and even had a little luck in his heart, hoping that "If You Are the One 2" will continue to be a big hit.

After half an hour.

Feedback from the audience gave Feng Pants confidence and turned the fluke in his heart into expectation.

From the rival scene between Uncle Ge and Shu Qi, the audience laughed happily from time to time.

Laughter bodes well for a film's success, which bodes well for box-office success.

In the second half of the movie, the scene changed.

Feng's humorous comedy has turned into a discussion about life and philosophy, and has become a discussion of love and life.

In the entire theater, the audience's laughter disappeared, and the atmosphere was somewhat serious.

Fang Ziheng also stopped communicating with Wang Zhonglei, and looked at the big screen lightly.

"If You Are the One 2" is not so much the casual work of Feng Trousers, as it is the beginning of his psychological transformation.

I don't want to be stubborn about making comedies and selling jokes anymore!

To use lofty words, this is called exploring the perfect combination of commercial films and art films.

If we use the experience of the predecessors, this is a film style similar to the two directors Xingye and Jiang Wen.

The first half makes people laugh out loud, and the second half makes people fall into contemplation, bringing enlightenment and thinking to the audience with various viewpoints.

However, the strange thing is that "If You Are the One 2" is another work of graffiti!
Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog!
At this time, Feng Pants may still be very happy and satisfied, and he is very proud of his directing skills.

But he really didn't realize how outrageous his mistake was this time until the movie was released.

"If You Are the One 2" completely ruined his title as a great comedy director, and lost more than half of the audience.

"Three Shots" by Lao Mouzi before, and "If You Are the One 2" by Feng Pants later, are all works rushed out.

As a result of haste, the audience did not buy it, word of mouth declined, fans were disappointed, and passers-by were lost.

Lao Mouzi is a film master after all, with a stable personality.

Feng Pants is among the top commercial directors, relying on the momentum of "The Great Earthquake", he is currently at a critical stage of hitting film masters.

As a result, "If You Are the One 2" completely wiped out this momentum.

Fang Ziheng reminded himself in his heart that he must never float away, and he must not make rough things.

Be serious about your work.

.........

At nine o'clock in the evening, the movie ended successfully, and there was warm applause in the theater.

Feng Pants stepped onto the stage, looking at the applauding guests, his self-confidence improved infinitely.

The premiere was successful, and the next thing is to look at the box office.

He firmly believes that even if the total box office of "If You Are the One 2" cannot beat "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Edge of Tomorrow", it will never drop much.

24 number.

"If You Are the One 2" was released nationwide.

The name of Feng Pants is indeed unusual, and the major theaters have stepped up to adjust their schedules. Even if "Let the Bullets Fly" is still popular, they still have to make a little concession for "If You Are the One 2".

On the first day, "If You Are the One 2" was extremely arrogant, accounting for 50% of the country's film schedule.

In order to boost the stock price of Gaohuayi, Wang Zhongjun spent money like crazy, and gave the movie the biggest publicity support.

On the Internet, praise from entertainment media, film critics, and sailors can be seen everywhere.

The popularity of the movie rose from wave to wave, with seven of the top ten most searched lists, overtaking "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Edge of Tomorrow".

Early the next morning, the first-day box office came out.

3400 million!
It set a record high in box office film history for the Lunar New Year, more than 300 million higher than "Let the Bullets Fly".

People from all walks of life boasted wildly, wishing to praise Feng Pants to the altar.

Hua Yi gave the money in place, and both the media and film critics let go of their prejudices against Feng Pants, and the writing was full of flowers, blowing it to death.

On the morning of the 25th.

Fang Ziheng brought the finished film of "Edge of Tomorrow" to China Film Group.

In the familiar screening hall, Han Dong, Chen Yu, Wanda Song Ge, Bona Yudong, Yindu Organization Song Dynasty, and executives from more than a dozen theaters across the country were all present.

Vice President of Twentieth World Fox, Ms. Deng Wendi and Jiang Zhiqiang also came, and they came to watch the movie again with the expectation of "Edge of Tomorrow".

The big screen lights up.

The opening of the movie was even more shocking than that of "Four Famous Catchers", which instantly shocked everyone in the screening hall.

Aliens have invaded, and the end of the world is coming. The only savior is our Huaguo.

Lift up!

It's so uplifting.

In the screening hall, the big guys wore 3D glasses, watched the exciting battle on the big screen, and unconsciously raised a sense of pride and pride.

As expected, after the movie finished, everyone's eyes flickered, savoring the plot and pictures of the movie carefully.

Liu Ye's reset ability, from weak to strong, against the iron and blood of the enemy, and Liu Qianqian's gentle licking of the dog.

The film actually shoots wars, several famous scenes, the heroic and fearless performance of Chinese soldiers, and even the high-tech weapons of aliens.

Everyone temporarily forgot to stand up and applaud, and fell into thinking and sighing.

a long time.

clap clap..
clap clap..
Everyone regained their senses, stood up and applauded unconsciously.

One, two, three.

There were about twenty people in the screening hall, and while applauding excitedly, all looked at Fang Ziheng with fiery eyes.

fantastic!

The direction of the plot led them into the pit from the very beginning.

Resetting and rebirth again and again, not only did not have any obstacles in watching movies, but instead made their mood fluctuate with the plot, and they devoted themselves to watching movies.

"Director Fang, bull!"

"The plot and special effects are really great. The Battle of Crossing the River and the Battle of Crossing the Sea are exciting, and I, who is almost 50 years old, are excited to watch it. I can't wait to pick up a gun and shoot two aliens."

"It's explosive, the special effects are no worse than Hollywood movies, the plot is smooth and silky, and it beats many Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters."

The first two to praise were today's No. [-] and No. [-] wingmen, Chen Yu and Song Ge from Wanda Films.

Fang Ziheng smiled modestly, and began to hook up with the theater executives present, striving for the support of the largest number of films.

This time, "Edge of Tomorrow" is going the way of world premiere.

Regardless of whether it is the mainland, Asia, or overseas markets, everything will be released on January 2011, 1.

Asian and overseas markets are out of reach for him, and the effect of watching movies is God's will. The mainland market is somewhat different, and there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

Publicity and film volume are the key to success!

In his expectation, "Edge of Tomorrow" must at least get more than 60% of the film schedule.

At this time, nursery No. [-] came online.

Liu Ge from Wanda Cinema took a step forward and sighed obsessively: "It's so beautiful, especially the 3D effect. Although it is not as good as "Avatar", it is not weaker than "Gravity" and "Inception" "Space", awesome, awesome!"

"Don't worry, Director Fang, I may not have anything else at Wanda. There is absolutely no lack of patriotism and 3D big screens, 70%. Wanda Cinemas can give 70% of the film schedule for "Edge of Tomorrow"!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ge frowned and glanced at the other theater executives with a smile.

How about it!
Dare to follow suit!
The corners of the mouths of the other 12 theater executives twitched, expressing that they did not want to talk to Liu Ge.

They are not stupid, they know that this guy is deliberately setting fire, with a rhythmic atmosphere.

Wanda Pictures invested in "Edge of Tomorrow", and Wanda Cinemas, as a brother unit of Wanda Group, dare not give the film the greatest support.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is indeed wonderful, and they also want to give the movie more film production, after all, making money is not shabby.

But 70% of the film schedule needs to be carefully considered!

The end of the year is the Lunar New Year holiday, one of the two most intense schedules of the year, so many movies are released at the same time, fighting for the number of movies.

If the "Edge of Tomorrow" family takes 70% of the film schedule, what will happen to the other movies released.

Besides, many film investors and producers are their good friends, and they don't see each other when they look up.

It's embarrassing!
The 12 people looked at each other, but did not express their opinions immediately.

The person in charge of Xingmei Cinemas, Wu Jianguo hesitated to speak, and gave Fang Ziheng two winks in succession, implying that he would lower his requirements.

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, as if he didn't see Wu Jianguo's wink.

He took out a stack of documents from his shoulder bag and handed them to the 12 directors of the theater one by one.

"Bosses, please take a look at this statistic first, and then we'll talk."

"Oh, it seems that Director Fang is fully prepared!"

Xingmei Wu Jianguo took the form and applauded it appropriately.

Soon, the heads of the 12 theaters got the documents.

After just a few casual glances, they came to a conclusion in their minds.

This is a report surveyed by a large domestic statistical agency, which details the movie viewing data of 30 prefecture-level cities in more than 100 provinces across the country.

On-the-spot interviews and on-the-spot recording of data.

From junior high school, high school, college, to young people in their early 20s who have stepped out of the society, married families around 30 years old, and middle-aged people over 40 years old who have mastered the economy.

Judging from the results, 65% of people will give priority to movies shown in IMAX theaters when they don’t see the movie they want to watch.

3D is still the general trend!
Below the table, there are also a few reasons that the interviewees repeated the most.

One, to watch a movie is to relax, pick a 3D movie, and hope to experience a visual feast.

Second, when couples come together, the IMAX theater is of higher grade and cleaner.

Three, Hollywood movies look better than domestic movies.

The reason is very common and straightforward, but it represents the initial thought of the endless masses when they walk into the cinema.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is a 3D movie with an exciting plot and bursting battle scenes, which just fits this statistical report.

Fang Ziheng took out this statistical table, in addition to presenting the facts, he also wanted to tell them a truth.

He is not begging theaters to support "Edge of Tomorrow" and Fang Ziheng.

This is the choice of millions of viewers and the choice of movie lovers.

"Okay! My Xingmei Cinemas has followed, and I am willing to give 68% of the film schedule for "Edge of Tomorrow" in the first week."

"I, Poly Wanhe, also followed, with 65% of the production volume, Director Fang, this is the best I can do!"

Mr. Xingmei Wu, Polywan and Mr. Zhang took the lead in expressing their opinions, which made the slightly quiet atmosphere of the screening hall liven up instantly.

10 minute later.

After Fang Ziheng discussed with the directors of all the theaters, the thirteen theaters can arrange a minimum of 60% of the films and a maximum of 70% of the films.

At the same time, the share ratio of "Edge of Tomorrow" has also been raised to the highest level.

As long as the total box office exceeds 8 million, after deducting the special film fund and taxes, the producer can get 48% of the box office.

In other words, the theater chain has dropped from the original 57% share to 52%, and the profit has been reduced by 5 points.

This treatment is higher than that enjoyed by Lao Mouzi!

Zhang Weiping was so tyrannical and arrogant back then that he only grabbed 47% of the share, and the theaters gave up 4 points.

Fang Ziheng sincerely bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and personally sent all the directors of the theaters out.

With the guarantee of the top thirteen theater chains in the country, the directors of the other theater chains who did not come, even if they were unwilling, could only accept their accounts with their noses and keep up with everyone's rhythm.

China Film is downstairs.

Fang Ziheng watched a group of ground tigers leave in a car, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The matter of publicity and distribution was originally owned by China Film Group.

He deliberately did it himself today. Apart from not wanting to rely too much on China Film and Director Han, there is another important reason.

For the future development of Hengyu Media.

Which of the film and television giants in today's entertainment industry has its own independent publicity and distribution channels.

It is impossible for Hengyu's future films to have China Film in the cast!

Hengyu must get on the right track as soon as possible and build a good system structure.

　I wish the motherland prosperity and prosperity, and I wish you all a happy holiday!
