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

Chapter 307 Jiang Wen's ambition and the mystery behind it
"Since you have taken someone else's things, you must pay the corresponding price. Without Zhao Dashan, you can't be a billionaire director."

"I know that! I'm not Liu Yifei, but...but you can't let me bear it alone. Yang Mi also got the benefits!"

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes. "She also spent money to buy tickets, showed off her body, and mobilized fans to book the theater... Zhao Dashan just added a handful of fuel. Yang Mi started the fire, and she also started it."

"Yang Mi didn't fall into the den of thieves. Brother Li, you have been very kind to her. I don't know how long I will have to endure this."

"If you can get the box office of "The Laughing Man" to 300 million, you can almost be on par with Yu Dong."

"How can I do this? It's impossible! I feel that movie is not as good as my Lonely Island, and the competition is too fierce. The next day it will be Orphan of Zhao, and a few days later it will be Your Name. This is too damn difficult. If there are no other movies, I can still brush it. But with so many brushes, how can I brush it?"

“Only those filmmakers who have fought their way out of the most brutal road are qualified filmmakers. My first film didn’t even make over 100 million yuan. Why do so many people believe in me? It’s because I fought my way out of the most difficult road.” Li Mingyang patted Dapeng on the shoulder.

"Zhao Dashan is a very qualified master. Although he is a bit stingy, he is a good protector and has someone to rely on. He is better than a miser."

When Dapeng heard the word "stingy", his face suddenly changed. Zhang Chaoyang is even more stingy than Zhao Dashan! It's unbelievable!

I would rather pay a penny by facial recognition.

Dapeng felt much better after thinking about it this way.

"Brother Li, I have something to tell you. Although my master is chatting with Mr. Wang enthusiastically, he is not here to get the ticket subsidy, but to get the Far Cry 2."

"He wants to buy it? Why would he bid for it?"

"Berna! It's Yu Dong and my master who want to do this together."

"You're crazy, right? It's obvious that you can make a lot of money with a small investment. Wang Changtian is not a fool, so there's no way he would sell it to you."

"I also thought it was nonsense, but my master said it was okay and told me to prepare well and take my brothers and sisters with me.

Make a name for yourself in the film industry."

Li Mingyang scratched his head. Since Zhao Dashan had spoken, he must be very sure, otherwise he would not have told his apprentice. It would be so embarrassing if he failed!
Li Mingyang and Dapeng returned to the private room and ate and drank for a while. When everyone had almost finished eating, Zhao Dashan waved his hand and said to go upstairs to sing.

Unable to refuse the public's request, Li Mingyang also went.

Li Mingyang had just put on his coat when Zhao Dashan appeared behind him out of nowhere, put his arm around his shoulder and said he wanted to have a few drinks alone.

As soon as the words came out, the others left smartly.

When only Li Mingyang and Zhao Dashan were left in the room, Zhao Dashan raised his glass and said amiably, "Director Li, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can give it up."

"Far Cry 2?"

Zhao Dashan smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Wang agreed?"

"I've known Chang Tian for a few years. I've known him when he was still a reporter. He has done a good job over the years. The luckiest thing about him is that he met you. You can write, direct, and act by yourself, and you are good at online dramas, variety shows, and movies. Guangguang will not lack projects in the future, but I do. Do you understand?" Zhao Dashan lowered the wine glass and pushed it forward a palm's distance.

Li Mingyang picked up the wine glass and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"In this area of ​​the three northeastern provinces, everyone will give me some face. Your name is known in the north, so you will get the same treatment as I get."

Li Mingyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, I never thought about fighting."

"Haha! If you don't fight, you're fighting. I understand!"

You know ball...

jingle.

Li Mingyang clinked glasses with Zhao Dashan, which meant he accepted his conditions.

……

May 11st, late at night.

Li Mingyang, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong and Zhao Dashan signed a transfer contract in a private room of the Chang'an Club.

Youth Light sold the copyright and script of Far Cry 2 to Berner for 10 million.

Zhao Dashan's promise was just a verbal agreement and was not included in the contract.

However, the verbal agreement of the Northeast King is more powerful than a contract. He really keeps his word and has maintained his reputation for most of his life.

After signing the contract, Li Mingyang returned to the hotel.

But I dare not sing!

Without the trickle charge, he would be tone-deaf!
……

Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2 were released on the same day.

The premiere screening rate of If You Are the One 2 was as high as 48%, while Let the Bullets Fly was only 38%.

Li Mingyang, like everyone else, felt that Jiang Wen's strategy of letting the bullets fly would definitely not win the championship this year.

The government frantically booked out all the theaters to achieve the landmark box office of 6.2 million yuan.

With the size of the domestic market, the number of screens, the audience, and the piracy...

Although 6.2 million is not the limit, it is almost there.

Huayi Brothers released Earthquake, and its policy for major theaters is that the minimum ticket price must not be lower than 50 yuan. Even if you buy tickets through Meituan, you have to pay the difference.

It is said that the ticket price should not be less than 50 yuan, but in fact the ticket price for a major earthquake is around 70 yuan.

Especially the ticket price for the government-booked show, it’s almost over 100 yuan…

And there is a whopping 90% of the screenings.

With cinema halls monopolized and government-booked, the box office advantage of mainstream films is too obvious.

Since official statistics were kept, the first domestic movie to break the 2002 million yuan box office was not Zhang Yimou's Hero in .

It was a life and death decision in the year 2000.

Why did this movie break 100 million? Because the higher-ups issued a document requiring D members to watch it.

The main theme is so scary...

Although Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly is also a main theme film, its treatment is completely incomparable to that of Earthquake... The number of screenings on the first day was not even half of that of Earthquake.

But yesterday, when Li Mingyang got the film schedule from Wanda, he found that Jiang Wen had not given up, and he wanted to try again...

Let the Bullets Fly has taken over all of Wanda’s IMAX theaters, as well as 10 IMAX theaters in other cinema chains, for a total of 17 IMAX theaters.

This almost booked up all the IMAX theaters in the country!
What do you want to do!
This is just an attempt to boost the box office!

A ticket to an ordinary digital theater costs only about 40 yuan, while an IMAX theater ticket starts at 120 yuan.

The 3D IMAX version of Avatar is in short supply and can only be found by chance.

You have to find a ticket scalper to buy the prime seats. One ticket can be sold for 2500 yuan! Even then, you may not be able to buy one.

If the ticket subsidies were spent on the IMAX theater, then... the box office would absolutely explode.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are only 17 IMAX screens. When they really start to appear, it’s really terrifying.

IMAX theaters can generally accommodate more than three to four hundred people.

The most exaggerated is the IMAX hall in the Shijiazhuang Golden Palm Art Center, which opened in July this year.

It can accommodate 2500 people and is currently the largest screening hall in China.

An IMAX screen has eight shows a day, and if each show is full, it means 500 people on average, so one ticket costs 200 yuan.

The box office revenue for one day was 80.

Multiply that by 17, and that's 1360 million.

Inception, which swept the world, only earned 9000 million in box office revenue in the first five days of last month.

The first-day box office of Xu Ke's Detective Dee was second only to Earthquake this year, at only 2100 million.

Just 17 IMAX theaters can screen so many films, not to mention the 38% of other screenings.

Jiang Wen is going to blow out If You Are the One 2 on the first day!

Let the Bullets Fly is a masterpiece that has been rated 9.0 by more than one million people on Douban.

There is no need to worry about reputation problems, it has strong staying power.

Jiang Wen is betting that he can defeat If You Are the One 2 as soon as possible and get rid of its entanglement.

But Li Mingyang knew how to let the bullets fly, and he had the capital to do so.

By swiping, attracting traffic, and spending money like crazy, you can really leave If You Are the One 2 behind in a short time.

Feng Kuazi and Huayi must have a backup plan.

But Jiang Wen has an even bigger backer, Zuoshandiao!

Jiang Wen really has a chance to win the annual championship. Zuoshandiao will definitely use the golden finger to provide unlimited ticket subsidies!
Once this thing is turned on!

With the reputation and quality of Let the Bullets Fly, others have no chance at all and the box office is siphoned directly.

To reach the annual championship, it’s all about money.

And does Jiang Wen need money?

He is short of money. He can brag, but he has no money at all...

But Yinghuang is rich!

Yang Shoucheng is the leading figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and the thing he has the most is money.

What he lacks is a way to enter the mainland.

After figuring out Jiang Wen's approach, Li Mingyang actually didn't want to compete for the box office crown.

There is a limit to the number of fans + ticket subsidies, and it is easy to exceed 100 million.

But if you want to make 200 million, the film must have a good reputation and be attractive.

Over 300 million… Not only does it have to have a solid reputation, but it also can’t have any blockbuster snipes.

Your name will face Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2 in six days. How do you spell it?
Li Mingyang really didn't want to argue.

But Zuoshandiao had arranged the film schedule for him and asked him to fight for it.

Wang Changtian was willing to sell Deserted Island 2 in exchange for the northern territorial advantage, but he also wanted him to fight for it.

Fighting and fighting...forcing and forcing.

Zuoshandiao and Wang Changtian actually have the same goal.

It is to drag BAT into the water.

Li Mingyang's biggest rivals in his bid for the annual championship are Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2.

Let the Bullets Fly is backed by China Film Group and Yinghuang, and it is still the main theme, with the support of bigwigs.

If You Are the One 2 is backed by China Film Group and Huayi, with Huayi being the leader in the domestic entertainment industry.

Whether it is distribution channels or publicity and promotion channels, marketing capabilities are number one in domestic entertainment.

Although your name is also backed by China Film, all three are China Film!
It would be good enough if it could offset the influence of China Film.

Guangguang started late and only has the advantage of local marketing in the mainland film market. However, once its local marketing advantage encounters Huayi and Yinghuang, it will be badly beaten.

In terms of ticket subsidies and funding, there is no comparison. The other two are both listed companies.

Of course, with Jing Tian, ​​Your Name and Wanda’s advantages…but in this battle, Wanda’s ability to disrupt the situation is average, and it is also suppressed by the two largest film distributors in the country, Huayi and Yinghuang.

The Wanda of today is not the hideous and terrifying Wanda that it became later.

If Li Mingyang cannot get one of the BAT companies involved, then this game will be impossible to play.

Once one company enters the market and breaks the balance, will the other two companies enter?
If the end result is a penguin that is ambiguous with the light.

Baidu may hesitate.

Ali is definitely going to be eliminated!

By then, Baidu will have no choice but to enter the film industry.

Movies are king!

Although the film market is small, its influence is top-notch!

Many big guys in the ladder are silently paying attention to it.

Two families took action to please their superiors, while the other family stood at the door, not taking a single step forward. How can they survive in the future?
