Chapter 299 "Terror Cruise" is completed
In fact, if Wang Shu had not made a pot of gold by relying on yo-yo, his income in the film and television industry alone would not be enough to sell clothes, shoes, and accessories. , milk tea, these four brands are established.
It is true that the box office of "The Tuner" was more than 100 million, but the income allocated to Wang Shu was only a few million more.
Furthermore, these millions will not be settled on the spot when the movie is released, but will have to wait 3-6 months after the movie is released.
In other words, if a movie released in May is released for one month and then released in June, the Yishuke company's account will not receive the box office split until the end of the year at the latest.
This cycle alone is not enough for Wang Shu to rely on the income from film and television works to bring up several other brands in his hands.
Having this money is all thanks to yo-yo.
Although Wang Shu is a reborn person, before he was reborn, he was just working at the bottom of the entertainment industry, and then he slowly became a minor player in the Internet director by relying on the rich woman to rise to the top.
Due to professional reasons, the only thing he is familiar with is the people and things in the entertainment industry.
Other walks of life are only half-understood.
If you ask him to focus on stock trading, he definitely doesn't have that ability.
He knew about shorting the U.S. property market because it was so famous and he happened to have heard about it.
Another example is the global financial crisis in 2008. The impact of the event was so great that people naturally knew about it.
He can only rely on some things he has seen and known and try to get some profit from them.
If he was asked to do those things specifically, he would basically be blinded.
The only thing he knows how to do is filming.
For example, in the case of yo-yo, it was because he was a practitioner in the film and television industry. He talked about "The King of Fire" during a casual chat with his peers, which made yo-yo popular all over the country, and the entire industry ushered in spring.
It is precisely because he knows this that he relies on yo-yo to make a pot of gold.
There are also opportunities to make money in other fields during this period, but either he doesn't know it, or he doesn't have enough capital.
It is now 2007, and he naturally knows that the real estate industry will take off and become the largest bubble in the country.
Developing real estate requires connections and connections, which he can't do well.
But buying a house, speculating on it and waiting for it to appreciate in value is something that is not difficult for him, and he is still able to do it.
It’s just that he has never thought about real estate speculation.
As a reborn person, he knows better than anyone else that this is an industry that has cost tens of millions of ordinary families across the country several lifetimes of immorality and smoke.
He obviously has other ways to make money, so there is no need to get involved with this thing.
Therefore, even though he knew that real estate would take off, he never thought about taking advantage of it.
Because, this is not drinking soup, this is drinking blood.
After drinking this blood, the real estate bubble will burst in the future, which is when it will suffer backlash.
Even if he just speculates in some real estate, because real estate is so disgusting and he is a celebrity in the film and television industry, his sin will be magnified and he will be dragged out to shoot wild targets.
This is something that can be foreseen with just a little thought.
Regardless of emotion or reason, real estate should not be involved.
April 2nd.
The ratings of "Secret Garden" premiered on Beijing Satellite TV are released.
The national average viewership rating is 2.83%.
For Beijing Satellite TV, this ratings is also a big hit.
Beijing Satellite TV cannot compare with Mango Channel, and its market share is lower than Mango Channel.
It is normal that the ratings of the same popular drama on Beijing Satellite TV are not as good as those on Mango TV.
Mango TV is located in Hu N, which is the most famous TV station in the province.
In Beijing, in addition to the local TV station in Beijing, there is also a Yangshi TV station.
Residents in Beijing are bound to be able to watch YangTV, which further squeezes the market share of Beijing Satellite TV, a local satellite TV station.
However, compared to audiences in other regions, audiences in the capital are much more familiar with the contemporary shopping mall that appeared in the first episode of "Secret Garden".
Although some people have never been there, they have heard of it and know that it is a high-end shopping mall.
The appearance of "Sen Tea" in this high-end shopping mall shows that "Sen Tea" also has a strong style.
“It’s another popular idol drama. Wang Shu really has something to say when he makes an idol drama.”
Guangguang’s Wang Changtian gets the premiere of “Secret Garden” on Beijing Satellite TV The news of the same fire made me feel sour.
The first idol drama directed by Wang Shu was "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" in collaboration with Guangguang.
At that time, the TV series became a big hit after it was broadcast, and the light also tasted some sweetness.
Only later
“It’s so unethical for a young person to only think about eating alone.”
Wang Changtian started to curse at this moment.
Wang Shu could obviously make a fortune with the light, but he didn't.
Not authentic!
"Starting this year, he has stopped filming idol dramas and is instead filming movies."
Wang Changtian thought.
“After this art film is finished, is it time for the blockbuster he mentioned?”
Chen Kaige's "The Promise", Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet", Zhang Yimou's "The City of Golden Armor", plus "Red Cliff" and "Terror Cruise" currently being produced by China Film and Orange Sky.
Wang Changtian's eyes grew hot when he saw it.
It’s just that not only does he have no chance to get involved, he also doesn’t have the capital to get involved.
I can only look at it eagerly.
This time Wang Shu gave him confidence and he had a chance.
He hesitated and retreated again.
It is true that Wang Shu has never failed in making movies.
But Wang Shu is really very young. He hasn’t missed anything now, but that doesn’t mean he won’t miss it in the future.
Maybe the next commercial film will be the one that misses the mark.
The Guangguang family has a small business and cannot bear it.
On the other hand, Han Sanping also learned about the high ratings of "Secret Garden" when it premiered in Beijing during his busy schedule.
"No wonder he insisted on filming idol dramas before. It seems that he is quite capable in filming this type of TV dramas."
Han Sanping thought of his previous advice to Wang Shu not to "lose his ambition by playing with things". A joy.
Now it seems that "losing one's mind by playing with things" is not considered, it can only be regarded as losing the watermelon and choosing sesame seeds.
If you have the time and energy to make a commercial blockbuster, it is much more high-end than making an idol drama.
A great film director went to film an idol drama. Not only was he lowering his status, but he was also not afraid of being laughed at.
Even if several idol dramas are popular, Han Sanping still thinks that there is no need for Wang Shu to bother.
Because Wang Shu is already a great movie director, not a TV series director.
Identity is different.
“The Cannes Film Festival is just over a month away, and I don’t know if the box office of “Terror Cruise” can exceed 300 million in the mainland this time?”
Han Sanping muttered.
The various nastiness in "Red Cliff" grossed him out. Even though the directors and actors on Hong Kong Island were outwardly polite to the mainland, they all treated China Film as a People who are stupid and have too much money are taken advantage of.
In this contrast, Wang Shu’s weight is even more highlighted.
It’s a collaboration, but the commercial films produced on Hong Kong Island with huge sums of money are just like that. On the other hand, Wang Shu can produce good works at low cost.
"Hong Kong Island is Hong Kong Island. No matter what, it is not of the same mind as the mainland."
Han Sanping sighed inwardly, thinking more and more about pushing Wang Shu to the top.
Here in the Mainland, there are not many well-known directors who can make commercial films, and they all have their own plans.
Except for Wang Shu, there is really no one available.
On Hong Kong Island, we can’t count on so many lessons.
Nowadays, only Wang Shu can hold the important position.
He wants to make great achievements in promoting the development of the mainland film industry. However, even if he thinks about it again, without an excellent director and a good script, it will be in vain.
Wang Shu’s accomplishments in science fiction and suspense made his eyes shine.
The film industry needs a hundred flowers to bloom, and it also needs directors like Wang Shu.
No matter how many directors like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou are there, they are just all kinds of fried rice. They seem to be prosperous, but in fact they are just happy.
Directors like Wang Shu are different. His appearance has opened a new chapter for mainland movies.
The combination of science fiction and suspense has always been something Hollywood has been playing with before, and it is basically not seen in the mainland.
Nowadays, not only this type of movies also appear in mainland movies, but they are also extremely excellent movies.
Han Sanping feels that to a certain extent, Wang Shu is better than Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.
Although Zhang Yimou is a frequent visitor to the three major European films, there is no shortage of domestic art film directors who have won awards from the three major European films.
Chief Jia, Gu Changwei, etc. abound.
On the other hand, the only famous commercial film director is Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang's commercial films are notoriously regional and are only suitable for northerners, while few in the south buy them.
It wasn't until the appearance of "The Night Banquet" that anything changed.
Even if there are changes, this "Night Banquet" is nothing more than cooking.
In Han Sanping's view, the only person who can truly become the leading commercial film director in the Mainland is Wang Shu, a 20-year-old young director.
It’s just that Wang Shu has a common problem like many mainland directors.
Obviously directing commercial films has such high box office, so he should pursue success in the field of commercial films.
In the end, I insisted on making an art film.
It’s like Zhang Yimou, who makes a commercial film and then turns around and goes to make an art film.
This gave Han Sanping a headache.
Since the reform of the film field, the main focus has been on commercial films to revitalize the market.
And what the mainland lacks is excellent commercial film directors, and there is no shortage of artistic film directors.
The current situation is that everyone is obsessed with making art films.
It’s not like Hong Kong Island, where many directors don’t make art films at all, but only commercial films.
Mainland directors don’t have this awareness.
“When I went to the Cannes Film Festival this time, apart from not participating in the main competition, "Horror Cruise" was basically included in other places where it could be promoted."
" I hope the overseas box office will be good as well."
"Horror Cruise" is invited to participate in the non-competition section of the Cannes Film Festival. In addition to being screened at this stage, a promotional party will also be held.
This is not the end yet, and it will be screened for a long time in the Chinese Film Exhibition Area.
This year's Cannes Film Festival pays more attention to Chinese films, and the organizers have also invited several leading mainland film companies such as China Film, Shanghai Film, and Huayi Film Festival.
In addition, an area was specially designated as an exhibition area for Chinese films, specifically showing domestic films.
On this occasion, "Terror Cruise" will definitely appear.
It’s just that it is not screened every day, but only two or three days before the end of the film festival.
Thinking of this, he called Wang Shu.
"When will "Terror Cruise" be completed?"
Han Sanping first exchanged a few pleasantries and then asked.
"The film has been completed and will be delivered to China Film Group Corporation today." Wang Shu answered.
"Terror Cruise" is distributed by China Film Group Corporation, and China Film Group Corporation is also responsible for the promotional party in Cannes. The finished film will be handed over to China Film Group Corporation for subsequent processing, which saves trouble and effort.
"Is it already a film?" Han Sanping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked subconsciously.
"Yes, the film is complete." Wang Shu answered with a smile.
He is really busy, not only filming, but also editing, and many other things.
"Human Mountain" will be started during this period because he has completed the initial cut before and then handed it over to the company's team for post-production polishing according to his requirements.
During this process, he had some free time and started filming "A Crowd of People".
Then, after squeezing out time and carefully editing and polishing, the film of "Terror Cruise" was finally completed.
"Now that the film is finished, I will organize a viewing party at China Film Group. Do you want to come over?" Han Sanping asked, suppressing his excitement.
He is already the boss of China Film Group Corporation, so he would not be excited about a movie.
The only difference is that "Horror Cruise" is the first film that he personally participated in as the boss of China Film Group Corporation.
He is very fond of success and cares about face, so he attaches great importance to this.
“I’m not going, I’m still busy filming, how can I have time?” Wang Shu declined politely.
Under normal circumstances, as a director and one of the investors, he must attend the film screening organized by Han Sanping.
However, since Han Sanping asked like this, he was given the opportunity to refuse considering that he was very busy.
"Okay, you go about your business. I'll let you know the results of the internal review after the film screening is over." Han Sanping said with a smile.
As an investor, China Film will inevitably conduct internal viewings of the films it invests in to make sure they are well aware of them first.
The Promise directed by Chen Kaige held an internal screening in advance.
It was precisely because there were many negative comments during the internal screening that Chen Kaige exploded when Liu Yan said something wrong during the interview.
This is a sign of guilty conscience.
After "The Promise" was released, it was difficult to see negative reviews of the movie on the Internet for more than half a month. It was not until more and more people watched the movie that the reviews could no longer be controlled, and the reputation began to collapse.
Being able to control reviews and stabilize reputation immediately is obviously a sign of preparation in advance.
"Okay." Wang Shu responded confidently.
In fact, he was not interested in the results of China Film's internal evaluation.
The movie has been made. Even if the internal reviews are not satisfactory, it still needs to be released in theaters.
It doesn't matter to him whether he knows it or not.
But since Han Sanping said so, of course he had to agree.
“Are you really confident of breaking 300 million this time?” Han Sanping couldn’t help but ask.
Assuming the top spot in China Film Group Corporation, if a movie he is personally responsible for is released, it can become the first domestic movie to have a box office of over 300 million yuan.
For him, whether it is with friends, the film and television industry, or the national audience, it can increase his face.
He is so proud of his face that he naturally hopes that the box office of "Terror Cruise" can exceed 300 million.
