Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 625 Call Me Mrs. Fang

Even Hong Kong was affected by this wave of "foreign restrictions", and the Hong Kong media said it was a form of closing the country to the outside world.

The American media New York Times said that this was a suppression of American TV series, which aroused the dissatisfaction of netizens.

Even the Wall Street Journal said that users will go outside the wall, and this wave of "restrictions on outsiders" will not have the expected effect.

Anyway, it's just sour and nothing can be done. This is the general trend.

Of course, this wave of restrictions has indeed led to a sharp increase in the number of users of online storage and pirated versions of some non-mainstream platforms, but these also need to be eliminated, they have not been managed yet.

Rules are gradually improved and will not be achieved overnight.

The film industry has just ushered in a wave of regulation, and streaming film and television platforms are about to usher in another wave of regulation.

The former was instigated by the capitalists, who unscrupulously stole box office revenue and created fake box office revenue; the latter was instigated by the principal, who openly said that he would "limit foreign admissions"!
Most people don’t know the connection between the two. The essence is a struggle for interests between capitals.

However, such competition has caused the death of a large number of small content producers. Recently, the peak single-day box office of "Monster Hunt" reached 1.8 million.

The total box office in eight days exceeded 10 billion, but only they themselves know the actual box office amount.

They also announced the good news on the Internet, "The box office of Monster Hunt has exceeded 8 billion in days and is expected to surpass Gravity!"

"Gravity" had broken 30 billion at that time, and it would be difficult to reach that level even with the performance of "Monster Hunt".

It's nonsense, anyone can do it.

The peak single-day box office of "The Pancake Man" reached 1.5 million yuan, and the total box office in eight days exceeded 7 million yuan. However, the film lacked follow-up and was indeed very bad.

The two films together grossed over 3 million yuan in a single day.

In addition, the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" remained stable at around 11 to million, and then declined. The current total box office exceeds billion, making it the highest-grossing movie.

But Monster Hunt will soon catch up.

These movies took in more than 4 million yuan in single-day box office revenue, and the three movies took in a total box office revenue of more than 7 billion yuan for the entire July summer season.

Just this month, it is still rising.

Other films of the same period can only become cannon fodder, and it would be good if they could make 100,000 yuan. For example, "The Eagle of Nuosu" only made a few hundred yuan at the box office;

"The Magicians of Love" only made around 2 yuan a day at the box office.

In addition to being shoddy, these films are all victims of the box office war and have no chance of recovery.

The market is so small that even if the box office is increased, real tickets must be purchased and seats must be occupied, which will inevitably lead to other movies not being able to be scheduled.

The single-day box office revenue of over 4 million yuan also allowed investors to see the huge potential of the film market.

Moreover, almost all Hollywood movies released in this summer season were wiped out, such as "Ransom", "Divergent", "The Imitation Game" and so on, which are all Hollywood blockbusters.

However, the box office results were not ideal, suffering the biggest Waterloo in history, and it was also a landmark event in the comprehensive rise of domestic films.

Sina reported: "In the 2015 summer season, Hollywood blockbusters are weak, and Chinese films present a feast of all genres!"

NetEase Finance: "The worst summer season in a decade? Hollywood box office in China plummeted 18% year-on-year!"

Jiemian News: "'Tap water' counterattacks: How does 'The Return of the Great Sage' defeat Hollywood special effects with word of mouth?"

Compared to last year's "Godzilla", "Transformers 4", "Maleficent" and "Edge of Tomorrow", this year's Hollywood movies are completely inferior.

Especially in the second half of the year, it seemed like domestic films suddenly became popular.

Not only are Hollywood films subject to restrictions this year, but they are also being completely crushed by domestic films.

This is the result of the entire Chinese-speaking market and the continuous push from above to develop the cultural industry.

Those directors can only talk nonsense and criticize censorship every day. If the country does not promote the rise of domestic film and television, they themselves will have a hard time and will have to return to their previous poor days.

In a film market where the ceiling for a movie is hundreds of millions or tens of millions, which filmmaker would want to go back?

There is nothing else to do, there is no money to be made. To make a blockbuster movie, you need the market and economic foundation to support it.

Ordinary people who don't understand this like to scold Fang Hong, saying that he has destroyed healthy competition in the film and television industry and that he shouldn't restrict overseas dramas.

There is a certain rhythmic element here.

Fang Hong didn't care. This was a path that had to be taken. It was impossible for him to not support his own film and television industry and give money to Hollywood. This didn't make sense.

At least if he does this, the investment in domestic film and television content will increase by more than 200%. For example, the previous basic investment was 10 films, and on this basis there will be 20 more, or 30 films.

Because of the huge capital investment, there is no need to worry about not having people buy the films and TV shows produced. The entire streaming media will need a large amount of new content, even garbage.

As long as it can be filmed, there will be people who want it. Because the policy is maintained, the market gap left by overseas dramas will be completely occupied by domestic dramas.

Let’s put it this way, the entire film and television industry will usher in a second boom. Last year, there were only 5,000 film and television production companies, but this year the number will exceed 10,000.

There were originally only 150 to people working in the film and television production industry, but it is conservatively estimated that the number will increase to more than million.

The number will exceed 200 million next year or the year after.

With so many people eating, and such a big cake, could it be given to overseas dramas?

The US film and television market itself has to rely on the international market to grow. We can only circulate on our own. If there is no restriction, how can we circulate and grow? Not to mention anything else, there are more than 100,000 registered members in his extras group. Many people have no work to do, but if this is done, many people will be arranged to work.

The copyright fee is high, so some of it will be leaked out. Of course, this is the case for the film and television projects led by Fang Hong. The others will only be given to top stars.

This is also one of the reasons why the pay of celebrities increased sharply later.

Of course this is inevitable. Fang Hong still proposes to limit overseas dramas and bring them to the same level.

At least we have the language and cultural advantages. If we can't win, we can only say that we are bad.

Although those netizens and audiences are scolding him, and even the media that has nothing to do with the matter are scolding him, after all, there is no vested interest, but the entire film and television industry should thank him.

Because he was the first to propose the "foreign restrictions"!
However, these people remained silent, enjoying the convenience brought by Fang Hong and choosing to remain silent.

Later, a film and television practitioner named "Brother Qiang" said on Douyin: "Now the film and television industry is so prosperous, the stars' pay is so high, and there are so many practitioners, all thanks to the principal.

If he had not proposed the restriction, the platform would definitely still buy overseas dramas. Why? They can be directly purchased and put online, and the audience is huge, just like Hollywood movies. They have been proven by the market and will not lose money.

In that case, why should I invest? It would be much easier to just buy it. Capital won’t care where your drama is produced. If people watch it, they will buy it. It’s that simple.

You don’t know, but many people used to watch Korean dramas and American dramas. All the dramas broadcast on TV were Korean dramas and American dramas, including a lot of Thai dramas!
If there are no restrictions, our own film and television industry will not be able to develop. It is already backward, so won’t it become even more backward?”

In the international market, "Annabelle 2" is still performing well at the box office recently. This movie, like other Conjuring universe movies, uses very sophisticated scary plots.

I won’t talk about the plot, it’s mainly scary.

The movie was released on June 6th, which is about a month after it was released.

The North American market received $1.02 million, the second largest market was Mexico, which received $1230 million, and other international markets performed normally.

The total box office is 3.06 million US dollars. The previous "The Conjuring 2" also had a box office of more than 3 million US dollars, which also shows that the Conjuring series is as stable as an old dog!

As long as this series continues to be filmed, there will be no loss.

The box office revenue of "Annabelle 2" can still reach $7650 million, which is almost $5.3 million.

The American Flower Growers Company is controlled by an offshore company in the Cayman Islands, so it has certain tax avoidance strategies, which also exist in the United States, and copyrights are not taken into account.

This money will still reach Liu Tianxian's hands.

It was easy for her to do it, as she had originally worked in a flower-growing family and had been doing so for many years.

From now on, Yu Xian’s film remuneration would be paid by Liu Tianxian. Before, Fang Hong had given him the remuneration casually without setting a standard.

Liu Tianxian set a standard for himself and gave him 5% of the box office revenue. 3 million US dollars is 1530 million US dollars, which is over million US dollars.

Yu Xian was very surprised to be given so much at once. In the past, the principal only gave a few million, or at most tens of millions, and that was when the box office was high.

The box office of this movie just exceeded 3 million, which is not that high. Yu first called Liu Tianxian.

"Should I call you Mr. Liu now?" Yu Xian made a joke.

"No, you should call me Mrs. Fang, hahaha." Liu Tianxian laughed.

"Then I'll just call you Fairy Sister." Yu Xian wouldn't give Fang Hong a chance to pretend.

"Oh, I'm a wife now, and also a fairy sister. You should just call me by my name." Liu Tianxian's tone was somewhat humorous.

“No matter what you become, you are still our fairy sister.” Yu Xian said.

"Wow, you have such a sweet mouth. My Fang Hong should learn from you and let him coax me every day." Liu Tianxian said with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Now she has no worries and no pressure. She lives a carefree life every day, which naturally makes her feel happy.

This is just a return to her original personality. She used to be so funny and lively, not pretentious at all. Of course, her neuroticism still exists.

“That’s possible.” Yu Xian said with a smile.

"Hehe." Liu Tianxian smiled and then said, "What are you calling for?"

"This is not a remittance to me. I saw that there was more than 1500 million dollars, so I called to ask." Yu Xian did not say the details and listened to Liu Tianxian.

"You've worked hard over the years. In the past, Chang'e and Jade Rabbit needed to develop, so funds were tight. Now that there is more room, I will give you more in proportion. You can use it for your own benefit. After all, you are almost thirty years old, and you should consider your personal issues. I think the girl you led before was pretty good. Her name was Guo Biting, right?" Liu Tianxian spoke seriously this time, like an older sister.

It was said that Yu Xian kissed someone at her wedding.

"Yes!" Yu Xian said with some emotion.

"So what do you think? Are you sure about this, or do you have other options?" Liu Tianxian asked.

“I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s wait and see.” Yu Xian said.

"It's better to look at her more. Beauty is secondary. What's most important is that she has good character and a good personality. After all, you'll spend your whole life with her." Liu Tianxian said.

"Ok, I know."

Yu Xian was very emotional. Ever since his family members left, no one in this world cared about his life affairs. He didn't expect that Liu Tianxian was thinking about him.

This made him feel deeply touched.
