Chapter 425 Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away
Chen Linfeng only spoke a little bit, and it was a bit of an initiative, but he just presented the facts and explained the pros and cons.
It did not make clear what approach the chariots and horses should support.
This kind of thing involving interests must be profitable to promote it.
His idea is to get more people to pay attention, and then use the money from "Your Name" to further promote industry change.
Smart people can see it and know the purpose of Xiao Chen's move.
But this is a conspiracy. If everyone can be happy and take into account the quality of the work and the money gained, who wouldn't want to?
No one thinks that Chen Linfeng is not worthy of doing this.
A great director who is one of the best in the country has a top TV drama production company and a rising film company under his control.
It is perfectly normal for this kind of person to have ideas about the future development of the industry.
Because he is tall, if the industry is really affected, if the sky falls, he will be the first to be hit.
Just look at this age...
Everyone inevitably noticed Director Xiao Chen's age.
When Wang Rui took Cheng Er to meet people and Director Chen was accompanying him to help, many people had strange expressions on their faces.
Something doesn't feel right.
After Chen Linfeng finished speaking, he returned to his dining table.
Several big bosses and directors were sitting around this table.
They were still considering the suggestion that Chen Linfeng was about to make just now.
"Xiao Chen, do you have an idea? Is this a blowout today?" Han Shanping poured him a glass of water and then asked.
"Yes, I can't hide it from Mr. Han," Chen Linfeng sat down and sipped his saliva, "No matter what other people do, I'm already doing it."
He said straightforwardly, "In any case, actors' remuneration cannot exceed more than half of the total production cost, regardless of whether it is a movie or a TV series."
There was a brief silence at the dinner table, the movement was so fast.
Wang Zhonglei asked with concern, "Besides the "Your Name" you just mentioned, are there any other examples?"
Chen Linfeng shook his head, "We have just started to work on TV dramas. The results will not be seen until next year. The movies will also start with "Your Name".
President Han and President Wang should be aware of this. When we first started talking about this topic, I proposed this plan for the first time. ”
Huaying, Huayi, Guangguang, and Wanda all nodded. They were all present at the time.
Wang Changtian asked, "Will this prevent us from attracting good actors to join us?"
Everyone present is either a director or a leader in the industry, so they don't have to worry about actors.
Only when he was more concerned, Guangguang began to arrange film and television production, and there were not enough connections in this area.
When I was working in film and television media, I knew a lot of people.
But wanting the celebrities you know to join your project is another matter.
In this regard, no one is as good as Zhang Yimou or Chen Linfeng.
It's hard for an actor to work hard, and even a top actor may have no problem taking a pay cut to star in a movie.
Chen Linfeng frowned and said, "I always feel that the story is the most important thing, and the stars are just auxiliary. Even if it involves acting issues, the director has to check it and polish it a few times."
He looked at Wang Changtian and said, "Mr. Wang, the biggest role of celebrities is in publicity. You have a publicity advantage. Start with a small cost and slowly accumulate capital. It shouldn't be a problem.
The "Police Incident" I filmed is an obvious example. At that time, I switched from TV series to movies, and I was still a director.
Furthermore, everyone should know what Brother Wu was doing at that time.
Under such circumstances, the fact that it can still achieve good results is enough to show that as long as the publicity is in place, the rest of the story will be king. ”
Wang Changtian nodded imperceptibly, this example was sufficient.
He always felt that if a big-name star was used to support the movie, the box office would be higher.
But relying solely on a novice director and many unknown actors to achieve such results is really telling.
Wang Zhonglei teased, "Mr. Wang actually doesn't need to worry about this problem. We can start development at a small cost and don't need to hire frontline personnel."
Wang Changtian glared at him angrily and said nothing more.
After Huayi was listed on the market, this guy was a bit arrogant.
Regarding this issue, everyone present had their own thoughts and did not discuss it too much.
As Mr. Han said, Xiao Chen is just blowing the air. Whether adjustments need to be made or not remains to be seen.
At least we have to wait until "Your Name" is released.
I heard that in the TV drama circle, there are many people who follow Long Lin and learn how to operate.
Since their peers are not afraid of being embarrassed, they don't mind sacrificing anything for the sake of the industry.
If it is really profitable by then.
After this topic ended, several senior leaders started chatting.
"Brother, you shocked me this time. You insisted on a total of 900 million box office, and we almost reached an agreement." Jiang Wen's loud voice sounded.
"Huh? What's going on? Tell me?" Xu Ke felt confused.
"Kaige, Jiang Wen, Xiaogang and Xiao Chen made a bet to see who could get 1 billion in box office first, and then who could reach 1 billion in the end." Zhang Yimou explained helpfully.
"Director Zhang didn't attend?"
"I was filming at the time, and we made an agreement when they went to guest appearances in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China."
Xu Ke joked, "If you ask me, Director Zhang should also join in. Why is Director Zhang missing from the list of domestic directors?"
Chen Kaige, who had been listening in, suddenly said, "I also think that Yimou can definitely be included. We are all good friends, and we should have this kind of fun together."
Chen Linfeng gave him a strange look, wondering what he was thinking.
Several other people were also observing the situation.
Chen Kaige arrived today, but he was extraordinarily silent. Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, he would run against Zhang Yimou.
After all, he still couldn't forget Zhang Yimou.
Chen Kaige's own idea is very simple. Everyone is equally famous, but who knew that you, Lao Zhang, relied on Xiao Chen to escape.
This is unbearable.
He never thought that Zhang Yimou was better than him. It was too hard to win awards, so he should outdo him at the box office.
There seems to be no hope for "The Orphan of Zhao" at the moment. He is already thinking about his next film.
Lao Mouzi cannot be allowed to be alone in his beauty.
When the words arrived, Zhang Yimou couldn't give in, so he agreed directly.
Then he said, "I think Director Xu Ke should also join in. We must have a hand in this important event for domestic directors."
If you drag me into the water, don't even think about running away.
Several bosses around him responded in unison, urging Xu Ke to agree.
It's not a big deal to watch the fun, they really like the big directors fighting like this.
They all think about making money at the box office, but in the end their benefits are inevitable.
Ah this. Xu Ke didn't expect that he wouldn't run away either, but after all, he was also a famous director who had been famous for a long time, and he had no lack of confidence in his heart.
"Okay, no problem."
Then he chuckled and said, "I think it's not enough for all of us. If we don't call Director Li An, he will definitely want to join in the fun."
"It's easy to talk," Zhang Yimou agreed, "This stall is over, I will contact him."
Li An, this is a pot coming from the sky. I hope others are okay.
Chen Linfeng watched the development of the situation amusedly.
He added, "I said at that time that 1 billion box office would be reached in the blink of an eye. In fact, it is not that difficult. Now I see that I have reached the threshold.
I don’t think it’s appropriate for directors who join later. How about we add another rule and add a second round? ”
A few people's eyes lit up. This is the truth. If the box office is single-rounded, "Taken" includes overseas box office, which one is worth 1 billion.
"Xiao Chen is right, I agree."
"Me too."
"What do you say about the second round?"
Chen Linfeng knocked on the table and thought for a while, then said, "First of all, the time limit is limited to before 2020, and those with a box office of more than 1 billion will enter the second round.
In the second round, first look at the number of annual box office hits in the past ten years, secondly look at who has the highest box office, and thirdly look at word-of-mouth ratings.
How about ranking each item in descending order from 10 points to see who scores the highest? ”
Just like last time, there was no mention of a bet.
In fact, winning in this kind of thing is a benefit in itself.
Han Shanping and the others winked at each other, knowing the mystery behind this.
Not to mention those who can't even get through the threshold.
These three items in the second round are equivalent to taking into account box office and word-of-mouth, and box office is still the main factor.
Whoever scores first will be the first director in ten years.
There are all great directors present, who can wipe their faces and deny recognition?
Cheng Er, who was forced to sit at this table, straightened his back when he heard this.
Look at me too, I want to join too.
The group of sixth-generation directors at the next table craned their necks and blinked.
Look here, look here, we are here too.
Regardless of whether the chance is good or not, they still want to get on the bus for this kind of thing.
However, they did not dare to mention it for fear of being rejected and losing face.
Several senior directors also pretended not to see it.
You also want to participate in the elegant affairs of the big director circle, are you qualified?
How many awards have you won? How many box office titles have you won?
Chen Linfeng saw this and directly suggested, "How about directors other than us, if their box office exceeds 1 billion twice in a row, they will automatically enter the second round?"
A few people frowned, and they, the great directors, were comparing themselves to each other, and they were pretty good at it.
After all, there have been achievements in the past, which itself is a threshold.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for you, a young man, to rely on one or two movies to erase most of their past achievements and make them admit defeat.
However, the threshold for two 1 billion movies is almost the same.
Having such achievements continuously can be regarded as a great director in his own right.
Feng Xiaogang was the first to nod. He relied solely on box office to squeeze in, but he was afraid that if he really won in the future, others would use his award as an excuse.
Allow latecomers to compete at the box office, and there will be no need to mention awards.
Xu Ke also thought of this, and he agreed for the second time.
Then comes Jiang Wen, who is a hard-hitting box office guy who just makes up the numbers and doesn't care about one or two more.
The top three ranked by then will definitely have different names.
But don't even think about other directors. It's impossible to ignore the award.
More than half of them agreed, and Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige naturally nodded.
Later, they enriched the rules with great interest.
For example, foreign box office does not count, movies shot in Hollywood do not count, and movies with a score of less than 6 points do not count.
Looking at these conditions, we can see that they are mainly restricting Chen Linfeng.
After all, his approach is too broad. If the global box office is counted, then others don't have to play it at all.
Even Chen Linfeng agreed. It was mainly domestic directors who wanted to work together. Of course, it depends on the domestic ability.
The directors at the next table could no longer sit still and stood around the table, listening to the discussions among the directors inside.
The celebrities and actors at other tables would certainly be interested if they saw a group of big shots gathered around.
So there were also people gathered around to listen, and they even asked familiar directors to inquire.
After listening to it, everyone looked excited and incredulous.
This is a big event, a grand event that involves all the big directors, and even unknown new directors who may appear out of the blue.
It's like trying to spell out one, two, three.
Of course, everyone will not just look at this result.
After all, even if Zhang Yimou doesn't make it to the second round, he will still be one of the top three players in the country.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen are willing to join in the fun. If there is a box office and their original awards are included, their reputation will only be more important.
Maybe he will make a mark in film history.
Han Shanping has bright eyes. Such a grand event will definitely be beneficial to the development of domestic films.
Wang Zhonglei looked at the directors who spoke one by one, as if he was seeing gold mines.
Wang Changtian clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "This is Qin losing its deer, and the whole world is chasing it."
Nowadays, the film market is experiencing explosive growth, and the film industry obviously places more emphasis on directors' box-office capabilities.
There is already such a trend in media reports.
Who is more capable, who can be called a great director, all depends on whether you can win the box office.
This stage must be very confusing.
Past evaluation strategies have seemed somewhat behind the times.
For example, for those directors in Hong Kong, if they can't even reach the 1 billion threshold and haven't received numerous awards, then they should stop pretending to be great directors.
The awards here are definitely the top three in Europe.
I didn’t look at the great directors present. Those who can rely on awards to speak for themselves are in this category.
Both the golden horse and the horse should move slightly back.
This is the era when a hundred flowers bloom and everything competes.
7K, made up for everything that was missing
