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

Chapter 92: Piracy Attacks, Countermeasures

The full name of Tangren is Tangrenren Film Production Co., Ltd.

When the company was first established, Tangren also made movies, but they failed so badly that the company almost went bankrupt. Later, it switched to making costume TV dramas, figured out the routines of ancient idol dramas, and grew into a giant in the television industry.

Although the company mainly focuses on producing TV series, every Hong Kong director has a dream of making movies.

After the success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Tangren shot two more movies. As expected, they were huge flops, so few people even watched them.

Li Mingyang's movie is bound to make a lot of money. Even though he took a shortcut and didn't pay Liu Yifei, it's still money.

"The script is made in the style of our old art films, sophisticated and detailed. The actual filming effect is so fresh and refined, with all kinds of showmanship and even color aesthetics used." Li Guoli said with a smile.

“I copied a lot of shots.”

"To be more professional, call it a tribute."

“The emotions are portrayed very delicately, and the show keeps talking about emotions without any emotional outburst. It’s very restrained and told in a leisurely manner. The editing skills are not simple!” said Lin Yufen, the director who is good at shooting romance dramas such as The Journey of Flower, Love O2O and Eternal Love.

"It's hard to imagine that Li Mingyang, who made such a vulgar web drama as Diaosi Nanren, could actually make such a fresh and beautiful love movie." Cai Yinong laughed and said, "What a pity! The Beijing circle can't tolerate him. The more outstanding he is, the more he is suppressed, and in the end it benefits us."

"They always say that we in Hong Kong are holding others back, but don't we in Beijing do the same? The officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps."

"Say less."

Li Guoli quieted down, and the others also quieted down and continued watching the movie.

The young man and woman are drifting apart due to various conflicts, but the plot does not use cheating or hints of a third party to push the two apart. Instead, it uses some trivial matters of life to pave the way and the contrasting colors of blue and yellow to give hints.

Love is like a bouquet of flowers, gradually withering. When will it die?
Cai Yinong nodded. Such a highly acclaimed movie was indeed unique.

The film industry is not just about box office.

There are industry evaluations and market evaluations.

When Li Mingyang gained Zuoshandiao's recognition, he was already a film director, but he was too young and had broken too many rules. He must calm down for a while, firstly to protect him, and secondly to temper his temper and make him understand the rules.

Good reputation but low box office is very normal in the film industry.

However, there are very few movies that can achieve both good reputation and box office success.

Cai Yinong suddenly understood why Li Mingyang was so obsessed with the bouquet and was determined to shoot it to the end even if it meant offending Huayi.

As an art film, Bouquet of Flowers is first and foremost evaluated by the industry, that is, the Beijing circle.

There is no need to look at the box office, as long as it can be recognized by the industry, and finally Zuoshandiao recognized it.

After the release, good word of mouth is the icing on the cake, and good box office is the foundation for gaining a foothold in the film industry!

The reputation is already there.

The box office revenue will determine his future in the film industry!

……

On May 5, the mainland box office revenue for Bouquet of Flowers was released the day before, which was 5 million.

This is 5 lower than the box office of 3 million on May 140.

But May 5th is not a May Day holiday, but a working day.

Other films including "Nanjing! Nanjing!" and "Wolverine" all saw their box office take a big dive.

Only the bouquet stood out.

The bouquets were undoubtedly a huge commercial success!

Li Mingyang was very satisfied with the result and had a higher goal for the box office of Bouquet, which was a box office of 2500 million in mainland China!
However, at noon that day, a pirated version appeared on the Internet. Once the pirated version appears, it means that high-definition piracy is not far away. This is a huge industrial chain.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Mingyang, who had been busy all day, turned on his computer and saw the high-definition pirated version of "Bouquet" on the Internet. He couldn't help but sigh.

He knew piracy would come.

I just didn’t expect it to come so early. High-definition pirated copies appeared just five days after the film was released.

No matter what movie it is, as long as high-definition pirated copies appear on the Internet, the box office will plummet, and a cut in half would be considered the least of the problems.

Faced with the problem of piracy, we can only rely on the influence and appeal of actors and directors, or the audio-visual feast of special effects, to attract fans who support genuine products to the cinema.

In this regard, Feng Pants is undoubtedly successful.

Without the support of special effects, If You Are the One is a feature film.

It first broke the 6 million yuan mark in 13 days, then broke the 2 million yuan mark in 19 days, and broke the 3 million yuan mark in 3.2 days. One month after its release, it finally broke the 3.3 million yuan box office record of "Red Cliff (Part )", reaching a staggering million yuan.

It is approaching the record of 3.6 million yuan set by "Titanic", which is the highest box office record for a movie released in China.

The impact of piracy on If You Are the One is very low, and the box office performance has been very stable.

The country's top commercial director, a synonym for the Lunar New Year holiday, his strength is truly extremely strong.

After The Promise, Chrysanthemum and The Banquet, three big-budget movies, the three major domestic directors received mixed reviews.

Only Feng Kuzi came up with "Assembly", a masterpiece that combined both commercial and artistic qualities, in a short period of time. The other two, one was still living off their past success, and the other was working on the Olympics. The subsequent three shots gave the people of the whole country a big shock.

And this is not Feng Kuazi’s peak!

Next year is the time!

Almost all directors, after encountering high-definition pirated copies, will give up the fight against piracy and wait for the box office to break a certain number of millions or a certain number of billions, and then they will announce the good news and hold a celebration banquet.

But Li Mingyang doesn't intend to give up!
Even though piracy is rampant, he still wants to fight for the box office!

Whether he can gain a foothold in the film industry in the future depends entirely on the box office of Bouquet of Flowers and how high it can take him!

Next year will be the day when Baidu officially enters the entertainment industry, and the entertainment industry will enter an era of traffic where capital competes.

No one will reject a director who can make a big profit with a small investment, if there is one.

That just means the bet is not big enough!
Li Mingyang went to find Wang Changtian immediately.

Wang Changtian was socializing at the Chang'an Club, but learned that Li Mingyang had something to discuss with him.

He still took some time out, put down all the money in the room, and went to the reception room downstairs to wait for Li Mingyang to arrive.

When Wang Changtian learned that Li Mingyang was going to give money to the cinema to subsidize ticket prices so that the audience could buy low-priced tickets, he shook his head decisively and said, "Your idea is unrealistic, at least not now."

Sure enough, Wang Changtian had no intention of killing him with one blow.

Maoyan is an entertainment department incubated internally by Meituan, which engages in online movie ticket business.

However, later on, Maoyan's largest shareholder was Light Media, the second largest shareholder was Penguin, and finally Meituan, which accounted for a very small proportion.

"It's a good deal! It's better than buying the ticket."

"It is indeed more cost-effective than buying box office tickets, but it is difficult to implement. Without reasonable supervision and statistics, how can the difference in ticket subsidies be calculated? Whose account should be taken? Cinema chains have their own ethics, but cinemas are different. Otherwise, where would there be so many high-definition pirated copies?"

"Then find a cinema?"
