Chapter 92 Piracy attack, take advantage of every opportunity
The full name of Sugar Man is Sugar Man Film Production Co., Ltd.
When the company was founded, Sugar Man also made movies, but the success was so bad that the company almost went bankrupt. Later, it changed to making costume TV series, and after figuring out the routines of ancient puppets, it grew into a giant in the TV industry. Tyrant.
Although the company mainly produces TV series, every Hong Kong director has a movie dream.
Since the success of Fairy Sword, Sugar Man has filmed two more movies. Not surprisingly, they were so bloody that no one could even watch them.
And Li Mingyang's movie is bound to make a lot of money. Although Liu Yifei was not paid for the film, it was a profit.
"The script is based on the production method of our old art films in the past, which is sophisticated and meticulous. The actual effect is so fresh and refined, with various dazzling techniques and even color aesthetics used." Li Guoli said with a smile. .
“A lot of scenes were copied.”
“To be more professional, it’s called a tribute.”
“The feelings are portrayed very delicately. They keep talking about feelings, but there is no such emotion. Explosive, very restrained, and eloquent, the editing skills are not simple!" said Lin Yufen, director of romantic dramas such as Hua Qiangu, A Little Smile, and Three Lives.
"It's hard to imagine that Li Mingyang, who made vulgar web dramas like Diaosi Men, can actually make such a fresh and beautiful love movie." Cai Yinong said with a smile: "What a pity! Beijing circles can't tolerate him. The better he is, the better he will be." The more we are suppressed, the more advantage we get in the end.”
“We always say that we in Hong Kong are blocking others, and Beijing is also blocking others. Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.”
"Say less."
Li Guoli became quiet, and others also quieted down and continued watching the movie.
Due to various conflicts, young men and women are drifting apart. The plot does not use cheating or implying the involvement of a third party to promote the separation of the two. Instead, it takes its time and uses some trivial matters in life. Foreshadowing, use contrasting colors of blue and yellow to give hints.
Love like a bouquet is gradually withering. When will it die?
Cai Yinong nodded, a movie with high reputation is indeed unique.
The film industry is not just about the box office.
There are industry evaluations and market evaluations.
When Li Mingyang was recognized by the mountain eagle, he was already a film director, but he was too young and had too many bad rules. He must calm down for a while, firstly to protect him, and secondly to temper his temper. , you must know the rules.
Good reputation but low box office, this is very normal in the film industry.
There are very few movies that can truly achieve both word-of-mouth and box office success.
Cai Yinong suddenly understood why Li Mingyang was so obsessed with the bouquet, even if he tried to offend Hua Yi, he would shoot it to the end.
As an art film, Flower Bouquet is first and foremost evaluated by the industry, that is, the Beijing circle.
There is no need to look at the box office, as long as it can be recognized by the industry, and finally Zuoshandiao recognized it.
After it is released, good reputation is the icing on the cake, and good box office is the foundation for establishing a foothold in the film industry!
The reputation is already there.
The box office amount will be his starting point in the film industry in the future!
……
On May 5, the mainland box office was released the day before Bouquet, with 1.3 million.
It was 100,000 lower than the box office of 1.4 million on May 3.
But May 4th is not a May Day holiday, but a working day.
Other films include "Nanjing!" Nanjing! "The box office of "The Wolverine" all plummeted.
Only the bouquet stands out.
The bouquet was undoubtedly a great commercial success!
Li Mingyang is very satisfied with this result and has a higher pursuit of the box office of Bouquet, which is 25 million in the mainland box office!
However, at noon that day, a pirated version appeared online. Once pirated copies appear, it indicates that high-definition piracy is not far away. This is a huge industry chain.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Mingyang, who had been busy all day, turned on his computer and sighed when he saw a high-definition pirated version of "Bouquet" online.
He knew piracy would come.
I just didn’t expect it to come so early, and high-definition pirated copies appeared just five days after its release.
No matter what movie, as long as high-definition piracy appears online, the box office will plummet, even if it is cut in half, it is considered a light thing.
Faced with the problem of piracy, we can only rely on the influence and appeal of actors and directors, or the audio-visual feast of special effects, to get fans who support genuine movies into the cinema.
In this regard Feng Pants is undoubtedly successful.
Without the blessing of special effects, If You Are the One is a feature film.
It first exceeded 100 million yuan in 6 days, then 200 million yuan in 13 days, and 300 million yuan in 19 days. One month after its release, it finally broke the box office record of 320 million yuan for "Red Cliff (Part 1)", reaching an astonishing 330 million yuan.
It is close to the record of 360 million yuan set by "Titanic", which is the highest box office record for a movie released in China.
The impact of piracy on If You Are the One is very low, and the box office trend has been very stable.
The number one commercial director in the country, synonymous with Lunar New Year movies, he is really powerful.
After the three major films produced by The Promise, Chrysanthemum, and Night Banquet, the three major domestic directors have received mixed reviews.
Only Feng Pants came up with a masterpiece that was both commercial and artistic in a short period of time. The other two, one was still resting on his laurels and the other was working on the Olympics. The subsequent three shots gave the people of the country a big shock.
And this is not the peak of Feng Pants!
Next year!
After encountering high-definition piracy, almost all directors will give up fighting against piracy, wait for the box office, and then break tens of thousands or hundreds of millions, announce the good news, and hold a celebration banquet.
But Li Mingyang is not going to give up!
Even if piracy is on the rise, he still wants to compete for the box office!
Whether he can gain a foothold in the film industry in the future depends entirely on the box office of Bouquet and how high it can take him!
Next year is the day when Baidu officially enters the entertainment industry, and the entertainment industry will enter the traffic era of capital competition.
No one will reject a director who can make a big difference with small things, if there is one.
That can only mean that Bo is not big enough!
Li Mingyang immediately went to find Wang Changtian.
Wang Changtian was socializing at the Chang'an Club, but learned that Li Mingyang had something to discuss with him.
He still took the time to put down a whole house of capital and went to the reception room downstairs to wait for Li Mingyang to arrive.
When he learned that Li Mingyang wanted to give money to theaters to subsidize ticket prices so that audiences could buy low-price tickets, Wang Changtian shook his head decisively, "Your idea is not realistic, at least not now. ”
Sure enough, Wang Changtian had no idea of beating him to death with a stick.
Maoyan is an entertainment division incubated within Meituan that conducts online movie ticketing business.
However, later on, Maoyan’s largest shareholder was Guangguang, the second largest shareholder was Penguin, and finally Meituan, with a very low proportion.
“It’s a great deal! It’s better than buying a box office.”
“It’s indeed more cost-effective than buying a box office, but it’s difficult to implement. Without reasonable supervision and statistics, it’s a supplement. How to calculate the ticket difference? Who is responsible for it? Cinemas have their own ethics, but theaters are different. Otherwise, where would there be so many high-definition piracy? "
