Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 109 1.5 billion! (34)

Make your own movie...

Ji Xiang was a little hesitant...

It’s not that he doubts whether “The Beauty Inside” can be a hit - he has been in this circle for almost ten years, and he can still tell the difference between a good script and a bad script!

If the script of "The Beauty Inside" is made into a movie and a good release date is chosen, the box office will definitely exceed 100 million yuan.

With more publicity, it might exceed 200 million.

As for the cost…

Urban romance films are the cheapest type of film. Most of them are shot on location and do not require additional sets. There is no expenditure on props and set design. The only expense may be paying the actors' salaries.

And it’s easy to attract commercial sponsorship!

So, in recent years, many movies of this type have been released...

But...if we produce it ourselves, we will inevitably compete with established film companies...

In other words, it makes them feel unhappy.

After clarifying his concerns, Shen Yan waved his hand: "Movies are about content being king, and film companies are just there to take the money..."

"But you have to consider distribution!" Ji Xiang said, "There are 42 theater chains nationwide. How many can you get?"

“…So, I say give the distribution rights to Guangguang!”

"You don't understand," Ji Xiang shook his head and said bluntly, "The film industry is very closed, like a coin with only heads and tails. Behind every movie is a series of relationships... The entire industry is composed of only rivals and friends, with no buffers. One wrong word can make the entire industry furious... and then turn against you!"

"It's not that bad..."

"I'm telling the truth!" Ji Xiang continued, "If you want to eat, you have to mingle... You can refuse their invitations, but you can't go against them!"

"…So, what do you mean?"

“Don’t take control, give up 50% of the investment rights!”

“…give it to Huayi?”

"Guangguang, Bona, Huayi are all fine... I'll go negotiate!"

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said, "We must ensure an investment of more than 30%... or we can find a new film company to cooperate with... for example, Wanda!"

"Wanda doesn't make movies, right?"

"How could they not make movies? They built a whole theater and used it exclusively to show movies from other companies? If you were Wang Jianlin, would you do something like that?"

“…Okay, I’ll touch it.”

"Don't worry, I'll give you the script tomorrow!"

……

Shen Yan really thought too simply.

The film industry has always been closed!

Director, producer, actor...

All of them are generated within the circle!
The more closed, the more exclusive...

For example: Although the film industry loves money to death and even cannot live without money every minute, the film industry particularly hates being interfered with and influenced. This makes most high-quality projects very resistant to funds from "strangers", not to mention some idle funds from the public.

Therefore, a lot of funds cannot enter the market at all!

Also, they are arrogant...

After the film industry went cold, how did they find the reasons?

When other industries fail, they blame their peers, competitors, and advanced foreign technology.

No, they blame the audience, blaming them for liking to watch short videos and movie commentaries, and for not having the patience to go to the cinema to watch movies!
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

What the hell, an industry that relies on audiences’ money to support it ignores the audience, and finally fails, and now blames the audience for not paying?
Isn't this pure hooliganism!
There was no way Shen Yan could change their minds.

He made "749 Bureau" and despite so many people criticizing him, he flattered himself and said, "It's not a bad movie!" He complained about his film not being understood and even called a meeting with a bunch of film experts to prove that the film was good...

——In a closed environment, only inbreeding can occur, and then freaks with low IQ will be born!

Look at the high-quality creative teams in later generations. None of them worked alone. Guo Fan was followed by a string of film companies, and the same was true for Chen Sicheng and Shen Teng.

and so…

……

After finishing the training, Shen Yan worked overtime to finish the script of "The Beauty Inside" and sent it to Ji Xiang... He is quite relaxed now. After the serialization of "You Fei" ended, although the "Martial Arts Version" contacted him and wanted him to write another one, he refused!
Martial arts novels are definitely no match for fairy tales!

Times are changing, and so are the excitement points - when you watch martial arts movies, you watch for the excitement points.

Do you want to learn history through martial arts novels?

Of course, one of the reasons why Shen Yan was not in a hurry to "write" "Song of Youth" is also one of the reasons!

As for online articles...

There is no rush for now.

The current starting point is still in chaos!
The most important thing is that you don’t lack money…

Therefore, Shen Yan has a lot of free time.

After finishing the script, I called Shi Shi, who said, "I'll go to Hengdian after September!"

"You don't need martial arts training?"

“…It’s okay, I’m experienced!”

Indeed, Liu Shishi's action scenes are neat and heroic.

"Anyway, filming starts on the 7th of next month... no need to rush!"

"I'm not in a hurry... By the way, did you know that 'Strange Hero Yizhimei' aired the day before yesterday?"

Shen Yan nodded: "I know, and the local station will broadcast it first!"

"Yes, Jiangsu Variety Channel will broadcast it first..."

“…I see those TV stations have used up their quota for costume dramas this year. I guess they’ll have to wait until next year to air them on satellite TV!”

Uh… Currently, there’s a limit on the number of costume dramas broadcast: the total number of costume dramas broadcast annually during prime time on satellite TV’s comprehensive channels must not exceed 15% of all the dramas broadcast during prime time on that satellite TV channel that year…

That’s three dramas!

Several first-tier satellite TV stations have basically used up their market share.

“I don’t understand this…”

After chatting for a while, Shen Yan hung up the phone and searched the ratings of "Strange Hero Yizhimei"...

Not bad, local ratings exceeded 6...

After thinking about it, I simply logged onto Weibo and posted: "The martial arts drama 'Strange Hero Yizhimei' in which I starred has been aired on Jiangsu Variety Channel. This drama has a very good plot. I also met director You Dazhi during the filming of this drama. Please give it your support!"

It can also be considered as a publicity campaign!

……

On August 8th, Shen Yan got up early as usual, ran, took a shower, and had breakfast...

Then I went to the training hall!
During this period, more and more people came to the training hall.

"Lotus Tower" is a martial arts drama after all, and there are many fighting scenes!

Li Huimin explicitly told the actors that the fight scenes would use medium shots + close-ups...

In other words, it is unlikely that you will be given a substitute, so you must prepare your moves in advance, otherwise, the sword will have no eyes!
Qiao Zhenyu and Han Dong are here...

Shen Yan's attitude towards them was... very friendly.

How should I put it? Seeing them screaming while stretching their legs makes me feel very happy!

Well, it was mainly because Han Dong was stretching his legs and screaming...

Qiao Zhenyu was originally a classical dancer. After graduation, he was assigned to the National Opera and Dance Theater. He danced for two years and could do the splits anytime and anywhere!

Beautiful and supple figure...

He just practices a few moves...

But when Shen Yan was stretching his legs, he also grinned...

Then the onlookers laughed...

Sometimes a man’s happiness is just that simple!
Since we're all actors, we naturally talked about movies. Currently, "Introduction to Architecture" has been released for 17 days and has accumulated a box office of over 1.5 million yuan...

Chen Xiaoting, who likes "Introduction to Architecture," casually asked, "Is it possible to exceed 200 million?"

"Impossible!" Shen Yan shook his head: "The box office in the third week is only 2800 million, and on the 3rd of next month, 'Inception' will be released..."
