After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 267 Unlimited ticket subsidies!
The Expendables will be released on August 8th!
The producer of The Expendables is Millennium Pictures, an independent film production company in Hollywood.

This movie was subsidized by ticket sales, and Millennium Pictures, the producer of The Expendables, spent 10 million.

The ticket subsidy was 19.9 yuan + a Hollywood blockbuster, and it grossed 9800 million in the first weekend.

This sudden operation completely stunned Yinghuang's "Love Announcement" and Huayi's "Earthquake".

The Expendables doesn't have much of a plot, it's just a bunch of tough old men, including Rambo Stallone, Jason Statham, Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li, action star Lundgren, Bruce Longwei, and Terminator Schwarzenegger...

Rattle, rattle, rattle, kill, kill, it's a typical Hollywood commercial popcorn movie.

The most prominent word is "cool".

Once excellent Hollywood popcorn movies are subsidized by ticket sales, it will be a dimensionality reduction blow to domestic films.

Neither the Big Wang nor the Big Wang expected it, neither did Boss Yang, and neither did many people in the domestic entertainment industry.

Zuoshandiao actually allowed ticket subsidies to be used for imported films, which severely beat domestic films.

All the movies in theaters were badly hit.

The earthquake is coming to an end and the damage is not serious.

DreamWorks' Shrek 4: The Last Airbender, Ying Huang's Love Notice, and Guang Guang's Rise of the Sky were all released not long ago and were all shot up by the Expendables.

Among them, Love Notice and City on Alert suffered the worst. Although they have not been withdrawn from theaters, many cinema chains have stopped scheduling them for screening, or they have played unpopular shows, which is no different from being withdrawn from theaters.

Liu Yifei burst into tears due to the beating, and Wang Lihong lost the arrogance she had at the celebration party and was so worried that she couldn't eat.

Love Notice was released on the 12th and took in 3410 million in the first five days. However, in the following week, the total box office was less than million, and in the next weekend, it only took in more than million in three days.

Whether it can exceed 5000 million is a question.

Beaten by the Suicide Squad!
To be honest...Hollywood blockbusters + ticket subsidies are box office harvesters in this era, and domestic films really can't stand it.

What's more, it's a nostalgic, popcorn action movie like "The Expendables", and anyone who comes across it will vomit blood.

The person who did this was not Wang Changtian, because he didn't have the courage to do so.

It's a mountain eagle.

He wants to bring Hollywood into the ticket subsidy market, and The Expendables is the touchstone.

The better the performance of the suicide squad, the happier Zuo Shandiao is.

Maoyan is his capital to control Hollywood in the future.

If Hollywood movies want to make money in the mainland market, Maoyan is an indispensable channel for them.

If you control the channels, you control the market!
Of course, Zuoshandiao would not admit it, for fear of being accused of monopoly and dictatorship.

Summer vacation is coming to an end.

Because of the release of "Aftershock" and subsidized ticket sales, this summer season can be described as the most chaotic and craziest summer season in history.

The earthquake allowed the industry, media, audiences, and others to see the box office potential of domestic films.

Avatar's box office of over 1 billion is not out of reach.

The domestic film market has unlimited potential.

The earthquake broke through the box office ceiling and brought the box office of domestic films to new heights.

It set a new benchmark for domestic films.

And the emergence of ticket subsidies.

Through Far Cry, My Beautiful Boss and The Expendables, the domestic entertainment industry was shocked and terrified.

There are even many mainstream media outlets that have made a bold guess about ticket subsidies and Earthquake. That is, if Earthquake had ticket subsidies, would it become the first domestic film to exceed 1 billion in the domestic film market?

Li Mingyang was amused when he saw the news.

"I don't know which idiot bought this news, and it has a box office of 1 billion. What is he thinking?"

Li Mingyang directly exposed the big earthquake on Weibo.

"Huayi has discussed the ticket prices of "The Great Earthquake" with major cinema chains. The lowest ticket price for "The Great Earthquake" is 50 yuan... From the very beginning, "The Great Earthquake" never thought of using ticket subsidies to invite audiences to watch the movie."

Not long after, Feng Kuazi came online and directly reposted the comment: "This is completely false, you are slandering! During the release of Earthquake, I have been communicating with Guangguang, hoping to use ticket subsidies to get more people to the cinema, but Guangguang refused to subsidize tickets for Earthquake due to its competitive relationship with Huayi! I have chat records and phone recordings! Apologize! Otherwise, I will see you in court!"

"What credibility do you have for this fraudulent company that used the guise of a film and television studio to acquire land to build residential buildings and this director?"

"See you in court!"

"Go ahead and sue if you have the guts! Don't be a keyboard warrior!"

Feng Ku Zi has no sound...

"How boring! Aren't you quite talkative?" Li Mingyang complained and stood up from his seat.

At once, everyone in the film department on the sixth floor looked at Li Mingyang, who was posting big news on Weibo every day.

"Director Li's box office is not that high... He is really good at arguing with people! This is the nth time that Feng Kuazi has been silenced by arguing with him."

"Feng Kuzi is just a bully."

"The boss started designing Feng pants a few months ago, just waiting for him to speak."

"This is just the beginning. By the end of the year, there will probably be more fighting!"

"You are still too young. Feng Kuzi is not silent. He just doesn't want to make a scene too ugly, otherwise there will be no ticket subsidies for If You Are the One 2 at the end of the year. Without ticket subsidies, how can If You Are the One 2 compete with other movies?"

"What box office king? Ticket subsidies are the king."

"The Expendables is only 19.9, it's really cheap. I watched it twice yesterday."

……

Li Mingyang came downstairs to the company and waited for a while. Three cars stopped on the roadside.

Zuoshandiao and Wang Changtian got out of the first car, followed by the people from China Film Group, who all got out of the cars behind.

Li Mingyang exchanged a few pleasantries with Zuoshandiao, and Zuoshandiao could not wait to urge Li Mingyang to take him to see the final film of Your Name.

More than a dozen people came to the sixth floor of Mingyang Entertainment and then squeezed into the screening room to see your name.

Zuo Shandiao, Wang Changtian, and Li Mingyang sat on the sofa, while the others watched with small stools. More than two hours later, the TV screen went dark, your name ended, and the end credits appeared.

Zuoshandiao didn't say anything, but looked at the others.

The others had different expressions and were all speechless... Your Name was really very different from the movies they had seen before.

The film has a heavy and colorful tone and extremely bold use of colors, which is a bit like Zhang Yimou's style, but not at all.

Your Name does not have a strong contrast between light and dark, and there is almost no dark picture.

There is no way to talk about the aesthetics of light and shadow.

Very bright and colorful.

This is hard for them to get used to since they are used to dark-toned movies...

Especially the meteor special effects in the film, it even feels like watching an animation.

Seeing that no one else was talking, Wang Changtian spoke first, "There's nothing wrong with the plot, it's excellent as always, and the storyboards are as unique as always. It's just that the color tone is a problem... it's too bright!"

Li Mingyang was about to speak.

Zuo Shandiao took out a cigarette from his pocket, tapped the cigarette case, and said calmly, "That's it. Send it to trial."

"okay!"

The review is no longer the responsibility of Li Mingyang, but the responsibility of the people brought by Zuoshandiao.

Everyone else went out to deal with matters related to the film's submission for review, leaving only Zuo Shandiao, Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang in the screening room.

Zuoshandiao sat on the sofa with a big horse and a golden sword, one hand on his knee and the other hand smoking a cigarette, his eyes were indifferent, without any unnecessary emotion.

After a long while, Zuo Shandiao said, "We need to find someone to take the blame for the ticket subsidy for this death squad. Who do you think is suitable?"

Li Mingyang was stunned.

I rely on!

You made us take the blame for what you did!

Neither Li Mingyang nor Wang Changtian wanted to take the blame, so they kept silent.

"If you don't want to talk, just draw lots. Someone has to take responsibility for this. I will make it up to you later."

"Why not let Wang Xing come!" Wang Changtian suggested.

"He is not from the circle. What the higher-ups mean is to pick one from among the three of us." Zuoshandiao waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

Li Mingyang glanced at Wang Changtian, then at Zuoshandiao, and spread his hands. "It's obvious that one of you two is playing the good cop and the other is playing the bad cop. You want me to take the blame. The key is that if I take the blame, people have to believe it!"

"It's officially certified as you, so that's you... Actually, you don't have to think so much. I see you staying in Hengdian every day. I asked you to attend the film festival, but you didn't go, and you didn't participate in activities in the circle. It won't have any impact on you if you take this blame." Zuoshandiao said.

"I actually don't understand why someone should take the blame. Maoyan is not only used for domestic films. It has to be in line with Hollywood. It's a good thing that they are willing to invest money!"

"Ticket subsidies have been so effective for Hollywood blockbusters that the higher-ups are worried that all their efforts over the years will go to waste, so there will be no ticket subsidies for Hollywood movies in the short term."

"That one above is you, right?" Li Mingyang said.

Zuoshandiao touched his nose, said nothing, and agreed.

Li Mingyang finally figured out that the hole was carved by the mountain eagle, but he couldn't seal it alone, he needed someone else to do it.

Under normal circumstances, the choice is between Wang Xing and Wang Changtian.

They are the two responsible for Maoyan.

But Wang Xing is not from the circle and cannot convince the public.

As for Wang Changtian, Guangxian is going to go public this year, and Huayi has been hit hard. It is a good time for Guangxian to catch up.

Being suddenly criticized at this time will scare away capital and will be detrimental to the unity of the film industry.

So he has to take the blame for this.

Anyway, he has offended too many people...it doesn't matter if he offends them again.

Li Mingyang scratched his head and thought for a long time. Finally, he chose to take the blame, but he had a request.

That means unlimited ticket subsidies for your name!

Maoyan’s current ticket subsidies are capped, not the unlimited ticket subsidies that came later.

What does unlimited fare subsidies mean?

After Wang Changtian and Zuoshandiao actually manipulated the ticket subsidies this summer, they became all too familiar with each other.

"Impossible, the maximum is 100 million. This is my bottom line, and it is also the bottom line for domestic films."

"One hundred and fifty million."

"There's no room for negotiation. We can't open this door!" Zuoshandiao raised his hand and said firmly.

Unlimited ticket subsidies is just a waste of money.

In the previous life, the country was only open for four years, and then it was hit hard and the ticket supply was blocked.

One hundred million is one hundred million.

Even a 100 million yuan ticket subsidy can't kill Feng Kuazi. He can quit the film industry now.

"Fine!"

Seeing that Li Mingyang agreed, Zuo Shandiao smiled and took out the car keys that Li Mingyang gave him last time from his bag, "This is also compensation. I know how much money you spent on the special effects."

"That 100 million ticket subsidy is all for show." Wang Changtian also laughed.

Li Mingyang smiled.

You're the one who's going to do it! You still want me to do it!
