Coquettish Rebirth

Talking about the acquisition with Alcatel went well.Jia Hongjian did not choose to invest 5000 million yuan in a joint venture with Alcatel. According to his personality, if he wanted to buy it, he would buy it all!And only in this way can the other party make more concessions, so that the other party can bear the responsibility of layoffs, right?He, Jia Hongjian, did not want to be burdened by a bunch of masters in Europe!So what they are talking about with Alcatel now is the acquisition of Alcatel's mobile phone department for 1.5 million euros, and the two parties basically have the intention to cooperate on this.However, Alcatel has been haggling with Jia Hongjian and the others on how many workers to lay off and how much expenses they will be responsible for.

Alcatel will certainly not be happy that they bear all the costs.According to Jia Hongjian's requirements, he only needs about 2000 of the 600 workers on the production line, and the others are optional.So these 2400 workers need at least 2400 million euros to settle them!This arrangement is not about extra wages when dismissed, but to prevent the union from going on strike if it refuses to agree to the acquisition, so it is necessary to use money to establish a fund-like thing, and give these workers a The buffer time can slowly find a job.On average, this is equivalent to giving one person 1 euros, which is equivalent to 5 months' salary, so that they can slowly find a job for five months.Alcatel is definitely not willing to pay the 2400 million euros by itself, and definitely wants Jia Hongjian and the others to pay.But Jia Hongjian and the others had already paid a lot of money, and it was impossible for them to pay all of it themselves!What's more, didn't Alcatel originally say that it would lay off 40% of its staff before the end of the year?Since layoffs are going to happen, why not come together!

Wrangling and negotiating for the money placed here.In fact, there was nothing wrong with Jia Hongjian. As the boss himself, he really didn't need to be involved in the front-line negotiating table.So at this time, when he had nothing to do, he began to think about what would be better if he wanted to make a "guiding movie" later.Anyway, idle is idle, Jia Hongjian thought about what would happen if he had a Thai embarrassment!That's right!The movie Lost in Thailand was too popular at the end of 2012. According to the growth rate of the box office, it is not a problem for a purely domestic film to exceed 10 billion at the box office!And how much is the investment for such a film?So how much money can you make!At the same time, as a textbook for slapping faces, Lao Mouzi's film only earned 3 million yuan at the box office, and he, Jia Hongjian, randomly found a group of people to shoot.Just 10 billion box office.How exciting is this?How piapia is this slap in the face?Hiss... What will the media think of Jia Hongjian?

But after thinking about it, Jia Hongjian still found that such an idea was not practical.Because how many screens and cinemas there were in China in 2012, how many are there now?The whole of China is now only 500 yuan for a screen, right?This is only one-sixth one-seventh of 2012?I remember correctly, it seems that 10 or 11 years later, the number of screens in theaters across the country will already exceed 2012!What is that concept?Therefore, in 4, Thai囧 was able to create a box office of more than one billion yuan.That really has a certain material basis!If Jia Hongjian came to get such a film now.It is likely that the final box office will be 5 million.[-] million to death!This may be a big profit for other directors or producers - because the investment is relatively low, but for Jia Hongjian, this is equivalent to a loss of five or six billion yuan!After all, the overall box office is less!

So what should be done in this situation?Then find someone with less investment.Then the box office is relatively small, but the actors used are relatively unknown, and the reputation is good in the end?Suddenly Jia Hongjian thought of "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing"?Needless to say, "Crazy Stone" imitates the product of a British movie like "Two Smoking Barrels", but the localization is well done, and there are quite a lot of jokes.When it was released that year, there was really no publicity and the box office grew against the trend. There were only small films with an investment of 300 million. It is said that they were all shot with DV, and there was no formal photographic equipment. In the end, it seemed that the box office was more than 2000. Ten thousand?This return on investment is enough!And "Crazy Racing" continued the fame of the previous work, with an investment of 1000 million, the box office directly exceeded [-] million!The ROI is also very high!

Relatively speaking, these two films did not choose well-known actors. For example, the entire shooting cost of "Crazy Stone" is only 300 million, which still includes a little bit of publicity expenses, and also includes the crew eating and drinking. asleep!What particular well-known actor could be chosen in this situation?Even if it's like Guo Tao, this stone father was not very well-known before 06!Although he graduated in 92 as a student of the performance department, he has become more famous on the stage of drama within ten years after he graduated from a major. He basically plays small roles in movies and TV dramas. He is really not very famous!It is because of "Crazy Stone" that his career suddenly ushered in a turning point, so he named his son Shitou!Crazy stone!

And actors like Huang Bo are even less well-known.This Huang Bo didn't even come from a major. Before he entered the film industry, he had been singing for a living, and he had also learned dubbing and other things.Later, in 2000, he acted in a movie for the first time in "Get In, Let's Go", an ultra-small film about the story of a minibus driver.And then in various TV dramas, he is even a small role, and in some TV dramas, his lines do not exceed 12 words!What has become of this misery?But just like that, what kind of role does Huang Bo really look like!It can be said that acting skills are really honed out of obscurity!

In addition, the role of a professional thief invited from Hong Kong in that drama is even more unknown-he graduated from the wireless training class with Liu Dehua back then, but after 20 years, he is not well-known at all. It's a small role, and with TVB's salary, he works like an office worker and goes to work from [-] to [-] to film movies all day long!Such a person is invited to the north to make a movie, can the asking price be high?It can be said that there is no star in such a film!How good was the result?However, it is estimated that because there are no stars, the box office appeal is still a bit weak.In the future, if Jia Hongjian makes this movie, with Jia Hongjian's strength, why can't the movie become the most famous movie in China in a certain period?When the time comes, won't the box office just skyrocket?

Speaking of it, if you think about it carefully, it is actually very appropriate to choose these two films as "face-slapping educational films".Why is it suitable?Except that there are no celebrities, the most suitable point is that these two films are down-to-earth!Especially "Crazy Stone", there is no mystery at all, no tricks at all, it is purely telling a story seriously, just trying to make the audience laugh!How sincere is this attitude?How easy is this method?But with such a method, how many well-known directors can't do it?It's the same with Thai囧, has Thai囧 educated people?Does it have any profound meaning?Is there any big star production?Is there any magical special effects visual impact?Why is this movie so good at the box office?The main thing is to be honest and down-to-earth, and honestly amused everyone!

If you turn your head and look at Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yuan, they are obviously going a little bit evil - they always think that big stars have strong box office appeal, which eventually turned into a wave of so-called domestic blockbusters that started in 0506. It’s the same, it’s okay to get a few stars, some gimmicks, some special effects, and then the plot is a mess, thinking that this can please the common people?Think you can make a lot of money this way?Why can't the story be done well, why can't the story be honestly told to the common people?

This is just like what Jia Hongjian said to the students in the play, people are lazy, when everyone finds that laziness can make money, how many people will push their limits, will go What about trying to actually make a good movie?This is really not easy. From this perspective, Jia Hongjian felt that he stood up and made a movie, which is also very educational!He can prove it to all kinds of people in the film industry and the audience, so that everyone can see that it is not necessary to be a star!The most important thing for a movie is to look good!As long as it is interesting, good-looking, and the story is carefully filmed so that people can understand it, then there is no need for any brilliant special effects, or any special awesome techniques, then everything can be popular!Just like Nolan's debut "Memento", are there any big stars in this film?No, just relying on the good idea of ​​the story, and relying on the amazing back and forth editing, it turned out that this film has a box office of 2 million US dollars in the United States!

So after much deliberation, Jia Hongjian finally decided to learn from Nolan and make a film that depends purely on the story.But in this kind of film, the actors and everything choose the original actors who are not well-known actors, but who will the director choose?Choose Ning Hao as the original director?The problem is that the original director has just graduated not long ago, and the only film he has ever made is a small dv film for his graduation project when he graduated!If this fresh graduate student is at the helm, can the filming be done well?

Or choose someone else?Like Jiang Wen?But the problem is that Jiang Wen is already a well-known director. If he is chosen...it seems that the "educational significance" is not so strong, and it can't fully highlight Jia Hongjian's awesomeness, and Jiang Wen needs to share a little of the scenery. ... Then who to choose?Or...or maybe he, Jia Hongjian, can do it on his own? (To be continued..)
