Chapter 227 Visiting Poet Chen

night.

The master bedroom of Jiang House.

On the golden nanmu bed that had not yet shown signs of falling apart, Li Xin rubbed Jiang Liu's earlobe with her left hand and held a storyboard from "Orangutan" in her right hand and said:

"I've been reading a lot of books about directing recently, but I can't figure out how to film this without using Hollywood's special effects technology?"

Jiang Liu's gaze shifted from the TV screen to the storyboard.

After discovering that it was a storyboard of a helicopter attacking a chimpanzee on a bridge across a river, but being shot down instead, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'll shoot it in real time."

"The plane you drew is on fire and falling rapidly. How can you shoot it in real life?"

Li Xin, who has a strong thirst for knowledge, said coquettishly.

"It's very simple. If you agree to a condition, I will teach you." Jiang Liu said hehey.

"Let me tell you the conditions first."

Jiang Liu whispered something to Li Xin, and when he saw Li Xin blushing in embarrassment, he still nodded and agreed. He suddenly became a teacher with great joy:

"Actually, it's very simple. You just need to build a small bridge model in a large studio, and then pull up a one-to-one or smaller helicopter model. If you need a panoramic lens, we will shoot it on site. In the close-up The explosions and dangerous scenes were replaced with models in the studio."

"Is there a picture now?"

"In a studio, a bridge was artificially built. On the edge of the bridge, an orangutan proudly stared at the empty helicopter suspended by steel cables diagonally above. This footage will appear on the camera next year at the latest."

"Of course, it's hard to find such a large studio, and it costs a lot of money to build a bridge, so the project investment is as high as 1-2 million yuan."

"I have a clue." Li Xin nodded happily like a primary school student who had solved a difficult problem.

Jiang Liu pretended to be obscene and rubbed his hands together, "Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

"husband"

Li Xun first called out sweetly, and when she saw Jiang Liu's proud look on her face, she suddenly said, "What a beautiful thought." Then she quickly pulled out her arms, trying to get out of bed and run away.

"If you dare to lie to your husband, the family will take care of you."

Jiang Liu reacted faster. He hugged Li Xing's thighs, dragged her back to the bed, lifted the thin blanket to cover the two bodies, and easily removed the other person's underwear.

For a time, the hibiscus tent was warm and the clouds on the temples were blooming.

With Mr. Han by his side, Jiang Liu was eating his soul to the core last night. He was overtired and had to brace himself after the plane soared into the sky.

"The day I was late to the bureau, did Yu Chu suggest you to work in the theater chain?"

Jiang Liu covered his mouth and yawned: "It didn't happen that time, it happened before, so a cinema was specially planned in Yixin Film and Television Industrial Park."

“The state encourages famous enterprises like Yixin to develop cinema chains.”

Jiang Liu knew it, but refused: "I don't plan to be a theater chain."

"Why is this? Since the incentive policy must be tilted, and the subsidies will not be less, the key is that Yixin should have money. I read in the news that some practitioners analyzed that the program "Super Girl" alone brought 50% to Yixin. Sixty million dollar profit.”

"We have money, but theater chains are too difficult to acquire. If we acquire one or two theater chains, most of the cinemas in the country are basically in a semi-retired state. A cinema has two halls. The big hall may seat 1000 people, and the small hall may seat people." It has to seat two to three hundred people.”

"This kind of cinema will gradually be abandoned by the times. The cinemas of the future must be based on the multi-hall model."

"When Yixin acquires theater chains now, it first has to spend money on renovation and decoration. The investment is too high."

"If you want to buy land and start construction, you have to deal with the local government. I don't think Yi Xin has the ability to get a prime location in Guangdong Province. Even if it gets a good land, the local Pearl River Cinema Chain may not accept it easily."

When Jiang Liu said this, he stopped at the right time.

Mr. Han is a smart man. He knows what he means is that local protection is very serious. Yixin does not have a strong backing. It is too difficult to run a local theater chain.

There are currently 14 theater chains in the country, and each theater chain is a well-established theater chain in the region. If Yi Xin tries to grab the cake without knowing what is good, the affectionate sentiments of the local theater chains in the past may have been replaced by sharpening their knives.

Therefore, Jiang Liu never planned to become a theater chain.

In order to avoid being manipulated by theaters in the future, the countermeasure he prepared was to control the source of the film and television industry.

That is the content!

If Yixin develops and controls more than 6% of the country's movies in one day, theater chains will have to bow their heads.

Only dozens of films are imported across the country every year, and only a few films actually make money.

Focusing on capturing more than half of the country's high-quality content means choking on the profit margins of theater chains.

In the future, if the two of them break up, Yixin's movies and video websites will develop horizontally, and the theater chain with only one channel will be completely blind.

But now, Yixin is still very weak, and because of its ambition to develop theater chains, it offends local theater chains.

It is better to keep calm and wait for the branches on the trunk to grow slowly.

Wait for Jiang Liucun to create more IP and content. Later, they will challenge the banquet theater chain to increase the movie's box office share.

After chatting for a while, the two of them took a rest with their eyes closed.

When they woke up, they had landed in Spring City. They stayed at the hotel until early in the morning, and then a few of them got into the reception car and went straight to Shangri-La.

The closer he got to Shangri-La, the wider Jiang Liu's mouth opened.

He had been to Shangri-La before, but this year, this was the first time he saw Shangri-La, which was almost pure and natural. Then he was shocked by the natural and painting-like beauty of Shangri-La.

"I want a room here." Jiang Liu said silently in the bumpy business car.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Jiang, look, that is Bigu Tianchi. We will be on the set soon."

Jiang Liu looked at the forest in the distance: "Team Leader Qiu, what types of trees are there on the mountain?"

Team leader Qiu is a local official. He is called team leader because he is also the leader of the co-production leading group for "The Promise" at this time. This shows that the local people attach great importance to "The Promise" and Chen Kaige.

"Spruce and fir are the most numerous, and the flowers by the lake are mainly yellow and red azaleas." Team leader Qiu said enthusiastically.

Chen Kaige became famous only a few years ago, but Jiang Liu is now a veritable business director in China. If he wanted to come to Shangri-La for filming, his salary would probably be higher.

Jiang Liu nodded and said to Mr. Han, "I'll have to go up the mountain to take a look when I get off the car later."

"Say hello and go."

"Of course."

I saw the crew stationed there early, but the car drove unsteadily for several minutes. A group of people got out of the car. The crew happened to be taking a break. People were smoking and chattering.

Chen Kaige smiled with a smile on his face: "Mr. Han, I have been looking forward to your coming to inspect the work."

Mr. Han pointed at Jiang Liu: "You should know Jiang Liu even if you haven't seen him before."

"Director Chen."

"Hello."

Chen Kaige turned to Mr. Han. Let me introduce you to the crew members.

"Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada, Korean actor Zhang Dongjian, mainland actors Chen Hong and Liu Ye, Hong Kong actors Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse"

Introduced to Nicholas Tse, Nicholas Tse stared at Jiang Liu coolly for a while, probably because he was unhappy with Jiang Liu's comment that he had run away after a car crash and wanted to quit the entertainment industry.

The agent next to him, Huo Wenxi, had his mind cleared, took the initiative to hold Jiangliu, and said in Cantonese:

"He and Cecilia have pneumonia and are a little distracted. Mr. Jiang, you didn't go to Hong Kong to promote "Monster". Boss Yang keeps saying it's a pity."

Jiang Liu glanced at Xie Tingfeng and smiled: "Ask him when he will come to the capital, and I will arrange the reception."

"Director Chen, find a quiet place and tell us about the crew."

Mr. Han interrupted everyone who was chatting and called to Jiang Liu who was about to leave: "Don't leave yet. Let's listen together. Maybe we can provide some constructive suggestions."

In the Haitang Jingshe hut built by the crew of "The Promise" next to Bigu Tianchi, Mr. Han came up and asked why he spent 10 million in a few days.

Chen Kaige seemed very calm: "The house we are standing in has a welding problem, and now this is a new house that was demolished and rebuilt."

Han Sanping's expression changed immediately: "How much did it cost?"

"One room is four hundred, two rooms are eight hundred."

"Eight thousand or eighty thousand?" Mr. Han asked angrily.

"Eight million." Chen Kaige said calmly.

"I see you talk so easily. Do you have no idea about money?"

"It doesn't exist, but that's how filmmaking is. If domestic films don't strive for excellence and don't make big investments, they will gradually withdraw from the stage of history like former Soviet films, German films, and Italian films."

"I'm afraid this time will only take 3 to 5 years. By then, what can our directors do? They will be other people's executive directors."

"What can our producers do? That's executive producers."

"What can our issuing companies do? That's comprador."

"What can our entertainment reporters do? That is reprint it."

"As a country with a weak film industry, that's all. We cannot be reduced to a country and a nation that watches movies. We should be a country and nation that produces excellent films. As a Chinese director, I have a duty-free responsibility, so I must first strive for excellence. "

Jiang Liu on the side was stunned. This old Chen was indeed called Poet Chen, he was quite talkative.
