actor return

Chapter 472 Digging a pit for myself...

This high-ranking emperor named Chen Xidong paused for a while, and then said:

"Looking at those statistics, it is densely packed with Hollywood blockbusters. Even if there are Chinese films, they are from Xiangjiang. For example, "Unparalleled World" won 300 million. After it is "Hedong Lion Roar", which is also in the top ten. , the only two Chinese-language films, ranked eighth or ninth at the bottom."

The meaning is self-evident-the mainland box office market is not good.

Ning Yuan felt hehe about this, and used the old saying: "I can't complain about the latrine."

At this time, "Unparalleled World" is still ranked No.8, and when "Hero" comes out, it should drop to No.9.

In fact, in Ning Yuan’s previous life, in 02, in addition to "Heroes", there was also "Zhou Yu's Train". name.

However, Ning Yuan didn't bother arguing with him. If he wins the fight, he won't lose any more meat. When "Hero" comes out, his own face will hurt, but at this time Yang Shoucheng shook his head and said:

""Unparalleled World" is different. It was co-produced by Donghai Film Studio in the Mainland, and the companies of Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, and Donghai Film Factory invested a lot."

Hearing Yang Shoucheng's words, Chen Xidong froze for a moment, then seemed to be recalling something, and then said:

"But Donghai Film Studio didn't do anything other than invest. It's still a co-production. The key point is that apart from Qian Wei, the director and actors are from Xiangjiang. If you don't read the subtitles, the audience probably think it's a Xiangjiang film."

Ning Yuan added a knife at this time: "Then most of the directors and actors of our movie are from Xiangjiang, and the honest Xiangjiang produced it. Since "Unparalleled World" can do it, why can't we?"

Chen Xidong: "..."

He said the words, and Ning Yuan followed his theory, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Ning Yuan didn't say a word: Is Cheng Long's appeal not as good as Liang Chaowei and the others?
Perhaps in the future, Cheng Long's appeal will not be as good as Liang's, but at this time, in terms of movies, Liang Chaowei, Wang Fei, Zhang Zhen and Qian Wei are still beaten by Cheng Long.

Although Ning Yuan didn't say anything, but thinking about it according to his words, other aspects are no different from "Unparalleled World", even a more authentic Xiangjiang film than it, if you think it is not as good as the other, then this is the only possibility.

Seeing that Chen Xidong was speechless, Ning Yuan smiled: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to sell it well, and as a part of it, I'm also honored."

Yang Shoucheng nodded with a smile: "I understand, we will think about it again."

He said so, and Chen Xidong didn't say anything more. Of course, Ning Yuan was telling the truth that he fell into a prejudiced position at the beginning, but after going around, his words became contradictory again. Now that the mainland audience watched "The World" "Wu Shuang" is because it is a Xiangjiang film, so why not the more authentic Xiangjiang film, starring Cheng Long, who is more appealing?
At this time, they realized this.

It is not too late.

Speaking of which, this idiom originated in Ningyuan’s hometown. Chuxiang King Hulai, even the capital of the country was occupied by Qin, he fled to Chengyang, which is now the suburb of Xinyi City, and invited Zhuang Xin, who was ran away by treacherous ministers, back Zhuang Xin used this as a metaphor to cheer him up.

Later, it really cheered up and regained the lost land and a lot of population, but it is a pity that the weakened Chu State met the prosperous Qin State, and it was still in vain, and it could not be reversed at all.

Just like in Ning Yuan’s previous life, in 04, Xiangjiang began to pay attention to the box office in the mainland. Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi brought new films to the mainland at the same time. "New Police Story" won more than 4000 million. Ten thousand, four times the gap.

This is something that cannot be reversed by humans. After all, the Kung Fu in "Kung Fu" is more beautiful, and the stunts are even cooler. You can't feel it until you go to the cinema. However, "New Police Story" is more plot-oriented and plays tragedy, even if you don't watch the movie. , After listening to the description and thinking about Cheng Long's movie routines, you will probably know it. It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not.

At this moment, Ning Yuan's heart moved.

Time difference!
At this time, "Kung Fu" didn't even have a movie. If "New Police Story" entered the mainland, there would be absolutely no natural enemies.

This natural enemy is not to say that there is no opponent, after all, "Hero" is there, but to say that there is no comparison.

For mainland audiences, Lao Mouzi and Cheng Long have different identities first of all, one is a director and the other is an actor, and secondly, their origins are also different. One is from the mainland and the other is Xiangjiang, and one is ancient and the other is modern. Psychologically speaking, you won't stop watching that one just because you watched this one.

But "Kung Fu" is different. It also comes from Xiangjiang, and it is more famous for its actors. Although this film is directed by Zhou Xingchi, the gimmick is still starred by him. What's more, the contest between Zhou Chengcheng and Zhou Cheng has been going on for more than ten years. , coming out at the same time is the self-contained comparison body.

The higher "Kung Fu" is, the more it crushes the space of "New Police".

If there is no "Kung Fu", it may still be affected by "Heroes", but there will not be such a strong homogenization.

So, if I release this movie in the mainland in the same way that I went to Neon Country to release "The Mountain", can I also take the opportunity to make a fortune?
Although Ning Yuan has not released a movie in the mainland, but when he did the road show of "The Mountain" in the mainland, Ning Yuan put in a lot of effort to push up the box office and cooperated with many theaters at the same time.

After the establishment of the company, Ning Yuan did not forget to get closer to them - it was not to prepare for this movie, but he knew that producing movies must be the future direction of the company, and even the top priority.

At this time, the theater chain is not as strong as the future, and it is far easier and less expensive to arrange in advance than in the future.

If you master the distribution channels yourself, you will not only have more power to speak, but also be more vigorous in increasing the number of films.

As long as the movie he chooses to cast, the quality and box office have been verified in his previous life, and the income will be different for every additional film.

Although he thought so much, Ning Yuan didn't say anything immediately, but his mind was running fast, thinking about this matter carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he still didn't say anything.

Until the dinner was over, Ning Yuan found an opportunity to lean into Cheng Long's ear and said that he wanted to talk to him, Yang Shoucheng and Chen Xidong about the distribution in the mainland.

The reason why Chen Xidong was called was that although he had gained a little more confidence in the mainland because of his words just now, he was more skeptical, after all, years of prejudice could not be reversed all at once.

At this time, Ning Yuan regretted what he said before, what the hell, pretending to be forceful... It was simply digging a hole for himself, otherwise, the price of winning the distribution in the mainland would definitely be lower.

However, this also shows that Ning Yuan is magnanimous. If he doesn't say it in advance, he will become popular later, even if Ning Yuan says he doesn't know, will they believe it?Will it be hated and suppressed?
Compared with the efforts and rewards of "The Mountain" negotiating with Han Ping, it is not a bad thing in this way. After all, Ning Yuan does not want to make a one-shot deal, and persistence is the last word.
