Chapter 839 The Greatest Charm of Movies
Because the other eight major companies have teamed up, except for some companies that have not expressed their views and are not high enough, the film industry is basically divided into two distinct factions.

Even if Hantang is in the absolute leading position in the industry, but in the face of the alliance of the eight major companies, there are some other voices inside.

However, because Hantang Films is about to go public, the company's executives have been waiting for this day for four or five years, and their hearts are relatively stable.

And the actors and directors under the banner are somewhat worried.

Even Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Wu Ershan are no exception.

Their current status depends on the big sales of the movie. No matter what the situation is, whoever wins or loses can still maintain their current status.

But if the box office is not as good as expected due to the influence of the eight major companies, it will have a big impact on them. After all, the resources of the eight major companies are more than twice that of Han and Tang.

Once it does happen, it might become a vicious circle.

They also came here with such worries, and wanted to see if Tang An had any countermeasures to reassure them.

But Tang An didn't say anything, instead he talked about Ning Hao's new script.

The sentence "Don't worry about things other than movies, he will take care of all external problems and help them solve them" moved the four of them a little.

The script of "Road of Life" involves not only the entire pharmaceutical industry, but also the central boss of the cabinet.

In this way, Tang An barely thought about anything, resisted everything, and let Ning Hao let go.

For any director, it is definitely a very important thing for any director to meet such an investor who can let go as much as possible, give him the most authority and support, and help resist all the pressure from the outside world and even the government, even if it is a minefield. Lucky thing.

Although Zhang Yimou's movie box office in recent years has not been considered good, after all, he is a national teacher, but the film "The Great Wall" still cannot be completely in charge of casting.

The heroine was stuffed by Wanda, and Lay's also stuffed the heroine of "Little Times 4" into gold plating, and "Grand Trail" will be filmed later.

Not to mention other directors, the relationship between investors, distributors and various resources all determine the role candidates.

If there are some sensitive subjects, investors will never dare to invest without first hearing about the government's tone.

After all, a movie costs tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, and no one can afford this loss.

Those who dare to make banned films are like Jia Zhangke and his group. Their film investors know that they cannot be released in the mainland, and they continue to invest.

This is not for art, most of them are also for making money.

Although his films didn't have much box office in China, but in terms of net worth, a year or two ago, there were really few directors in China who could match him.

Now that major companies are sending money to big directors through mergers and acquisitions, gambling, etc., domestic famous directors and stars have become rich overnight.

Ning Hao, as the only director present who had been banned from screenings, knew better about the seriousness of touching that line.

Back in "No Man's Land", although there was no good person in the starring role in the whole film, the police were stupid and incompetent because they turned right and wrong, murdered and extorted goods, and extorted money.

But that film had Han Sanping to clear up the relationship, so it could have passed the trial.

But when something happened to the new J, there was no room for recovery. Let alone Han Sanping, the boss of Optoelectronics did not dare to let the film be released. Even if the regionalism was downplayed, it was delayed for several years.

"No Man's Land" involves sensitive national events. Although "Road of Life" "only" involves a former center, it will not be much more difficult to release.

It is lucky for every director to meet Tang An, an investor who helped the director fight such a big event.

Ning Hao immediately expressed his opinion, "Don't worry, Dong Dong, I will advance and retreat with Han Tang."

Wu Jing also said, "The film industry has to talk about the works after all. Almost all the good films in the past two years came from our Han and Tang Dynasties. Even if the eight major companies have more resources, they are just bluffing!"

Wu Ershan said, "Now the atmosphere in the industry is getting worse and worse. Just when we were about to shoot the "Fengshen" series, Xiang Huaqiang brought in a batch of funds from unknown sources to follow the trend and shoot "Legend of the Conferred Gods". What rubbish, the IP of Fengshen cannot be defeated by them!"

Xu Zheng also hurriedly said, "Now other companies are purely for making money, especially after Ah Li and Fujixun entered the arena, a bunch of bad movies can sell a lot after fare evasion, promotion of Weiying era, and ticket compensation. With less box office, there is already a tendency for bad money to drive out good money, once they lower the audience's aesthetic vision, then there will be no one who bothers to make good movies."

"I just heard Tang Dong named "The Road of Life" "I am not the god of medicine". Cheng Yong is not a god but he is more than a god. I have a hunch that this will be a good movie, just like Cheng Yong in the movie. In society, these good movies can also affect the film industry, so that audiences still have good movies to watch."

He laughed again, "Actually, I want to challenge the role of Cheng Yong, and change the way of acting, so that the audience will not want to laugh when they see me."

Everyone has different ideas at different stages. Xu Zheng wanted to be a capital after "Tai囧" became popular, and he wanted to be on an equal footing with big companies.

But immediately after "囧囧 in Hong Kong" also became popular, he completely consolidated his position in the industry, and he had a higher pursuit.

Just like Feng Xiaogang stopped making comedies, he has pursuits.

The four of them expressed their opinions, and they didn't deal with it in a hypocritical manner. Tang An's goal today was achieved.

As long as they win the first game and give them confidence, there will be no internal problems.

Tang An added, "Actually, I also know that the outside world is probably waiting for Hantang's failure. Even within the company, a small number of management are pessimistic. After all, the other eight major companies have joined forces, and the resources at their disposal are at least Hantang more than double that."

Suddenly saying such frustrating words made the four of them a little confused. Shouldn't they be cheering up and bragging at this time, why should they hurt their morale?

But Tang An changed his tone, raised his voice, and said confidently, "However, in the film industry, they lack the most important thing!"

"Compared to other industries, the biggest charm of movies is that it is completely chosen by the audience. Good movies will not be buried, and dark horses will appear every year, and bad movies are bad movies. Maybe you can earn money for a few days. But the audience is not a fool, and has the ability to distinguish good from bad."

"In the Internet age, information is highly transparent, and no amount of resources can hinder the audience's choice. The audience can be deceived for a while, but there is no way to deceive the audience forever."

"We have the best directors, the best screenwriters, the best actors, and the best filmmakers in the country. As long as we make good movies together, we are not afraid of any opponents. No matter how many methods we have, we will not be afraid of the absolute quality gap. Insignificant!"

The biggest charm of the movie is that it is chosen by the audience?
Tang An's words brightened the eyes of the four of them. When it comes to the charm of movies, they can say a lot, such as the world created freely, the dazzling special effects, the philosophy of life learned from it, and the various emotions brought to the audience. touched
But Tang An said, the biggest charm of the movie is that it is completely chosen by the audience, but no one has ever said it.

If you think about it carefully, yes, nowadays a movie can cost hundreds of millions or even more than a billion. It is not that simple for any company to control the box office of a movie.

If the film is not good, it is useless to arrange [-]% or [-]% of the film.

This is more time-consuming and expensive than checking ratings and clicking.

Although there are more and more samples now, and the cost of ratings is higher, but now there are only about 50 episodes, and a 1000-episode TV series is just over [-] million.

It's only 1000 million, and now the salary is skyrocketing, and the salary of the leading actor in a drama can easily reach eight figures.

Not to mention the clicks on the Internet, except for the effective clicks of Wangda, which is very strict on the website, ordinary clicks basically have [-]% moisture, and a considerable part even exceed [-]% moisture.

The cost of counterfeiting of tens of millions determines that the TV drama industry is too controllable, and the ratings can be as much as you want.

In the music industry, for a concert with 1000 people, [-] tickets are less than [-] million. Not to mention selling albums, the combined sales of online and offline albums in China last year were only that much.

As for movies, let alone 1000 million, ten 1000 million won't make any waves.

In the future, Jingdong spent [-] million votes for "Legend of the Demon Cat", but it was useless. If this [-] million is used to increase album sales, it will definitely be the number one of the year.

The cost of collecting box office is too high. After all, it is not like Xiangjiang back then, where production, distribution, and theaters are all integrated. They film, distribute, and have their own movie theaters. The cost of collecting box office is almost negligible. In order to sell outside, some People are desperately pushing up the local box office.

It is insignificant to spend tens of millions or one billion in China. The cost of a dozen or two billion is too high, and the movement is also big. No one has dared to do this before.

Therefore, it can be said that the domestic film market is still decided by the audience.

After thinking this through, the four of them lost even the last trace of worry.

Compared with the quality of the movie, it can be said that the sum of the other major companies is not enough to fight!
PS: I have been busy buying a house for the past two days. I paid a down payment in the county next to our city. The minimum payment is [-]%. It's almost done.

For the first time, I had no experience at all, didn't even know the process, was almost cheated, and was exhausted. I was afraid that something would happen and all my savings would be wiped out.

The first big goal in life has been completed. Once the loan is approved, I will become a house slave. The next step is to find a girlfriend (*^▽^*)
