Chapter 317 Film Symposium, fanning the flames
December 8.
China Film held a grand film symposium in Yanbei, with hundreds of mainstream media and online media present.
This symposium was attended by not only Internet giants such as Jack Ma, Xiao Ma Ge, Li Yanhong, Zhang Chaoyang, Gu Yongqiang, and Wang Xing.
There are three single sofas on the left and right of the stage, sitting respectively on Zhou Xingxing, Zhang Yimou, Er Dongshen, Lu Sang, Jiang Wen, and Feng Pengtong.
The six directors are all very famous directors...
However, the media at the scene looked very strange, because they got the notice that Li Mingyang would also come.
But Li Mingyang didn't come and was replaced by Lu Sang.
It is said to be a premiere, but in fact, the premiere of Your Name is tomorrow, which has nothing to do with today.
Li Mingyang was not present, but Wang Changtian, chairman of Enlight Media, came and sat with Brother Ma.
Huayi Wang Dajun sat next to Jack Ma.
Boss Zhao of Huace and Gong Yu of iQiyi sat on both sides of Li Yanhong.
Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group Corporation, sat in the first row, surrounded by senior executives of China Film Group Corporation, as well as leaders of the film bureau and radio and television.
This symposium was hosted by Xiao Sa.
Today’s topic is very harmonious. Everyone expresses their own opinions on the current situation of domestic films.
Today's symposium is for Internet tycoons. When it comes to art and culture, no one wants to hear it.
The mountain eagle said hello, and all the directors knew what to say.
Zhou Xingxing, who has always been reticent, went against the norm this time and talked about the broad prospects of the mainland film market, citing the recent Laughter and Zhao Gu as examples.
Under the premise of ticket subsidy, if piracy can be controlled, there will be a domestic movie with a box office of over 1 billion next year.
The capital, media, directors and actors present all believed deeply in Zhou Xingxing's words.
"I don't agree with Director Zhou's view." Jiang Wen raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Xingxing's words. For a moment, everyone in the audience looked at Jiang Wen.
“You don’t have to wait for next year, it will appear this year.”
Zhou Xingxing smiled and said nothing. He just said what he wanted to say. As for whether he agrees with it or not, it is someone else’s business. .
"Director Jiang, this year is almost over, which movie do you think is qualified?" Feng Pants said in a sinister tone.
“No need to say that, haha!”
"Tell me about it."
Jiang Wen and Feng Pengtang haven't held many press conferences recently, but on Weibo, the two of them had a fierce fight.
Not like friends at all, almost like enemies.
"That must be one of you and me."
Feng Pants held the microphone and wanted to say something. He hesitated for a while and said with a smile: "With the billion-dollar domestic movies this year, I I don’t think there will be one, but there are definitely two billion domestic actors. Ge You is quite busy this month, with Zhao’s Orphans at the beginning of the month, Let the Bullets Fly and Feicheng 2 in the middle of the month.”
Jiang Wen smiled, did not answer Feng Peng's words, and turned to talk about the future of domestic movies.
Be different from others.
Jiang Wen was so boastful that he did not write a draft.
Other directors only have a box office of 1 billion, but he directly compares domestic movies to Hollywood movies. In less than five years, there will be domestic movies with a box office of 2 billion or 3 billion in the mainland film market. Movie.
When others say his words, they will feel that they are bragging.
But Jiang Wenyi said it was another flavor, maybe he could really do it.
Jiang Wen’s words have a convincing magic power.
Soon all the directors have finished speaking, and then there will be a random interview session.
The director and host are on the same team, but the media below are not.
Xiao Sa clicked on a reporter from Yangliu, and then the other party directly pointed the gun at Lu Sang.
"The notice I received said that Director Li would be here today, but I didn't see him. Director Lu replaced Director Li. I can't accept the fact that Director Lu replaced Director Li in any case. Can the organizer I can’t give you an explanation.”
Lu Sang raised the microphone and said with a smile, “I was also ordered to do so in a critical situation.”
A few short words resolved the embarrassment and gave the other party a suitable reason.
Great directors, even those who are promoted, are all eloquent people.
The next few questions focus on Zhang Yimou’s new movie Jinling Thirteen Hairpins.
Zhang Yimou answered them one by one with a very calm attitude.
“Director Feng, who do you think is the biggest opponent in the Lunar New Year festival? Director Jiang’s Let the Bullets Fly, or Director Li’s Your Name.”
“He doesn’t seem to be qualified yet. Compare it to me, the box office will be over 100 million first," Feng Pengtong glanced at Jiang Wen and said with an arrogant expression.
Jiang Wen had something to say, but put the microphone back.
Jiang Wen didn’t want to talk, but the reporter wanted to hear it.
So the reporter didn't sit down and asked Jiang Wen the exact question again.
"I feel that I have no opponent. My biggest opponent is myself. Of course, if I have to choose one, I would choose Director Li. He plays basketball really well." Jiang Wen said.
“Whether the variety show is good or not, Running Brothers is really good to watch. I love watching it too. If Running Brothers comes out with a second season, I will definitely continue to support it.” Feng Pengtai continued.
"It's really amazing, the ratings are mythical." Lu Sang said.
The other directors looked at each other and didn't answer the question.
This is to say that Li Mingyang is more suitable to be a variety show director rather than a movie director.
The directors noticed it, and the reporters in the audience also heard it.
The reporter asked, "Director Feng, what you just said does not mean that you think Li Mingyang is not suitable to be a film director and is more suitable to be a variety show director."
"Almost the same. "Okay." Feng Tongtong lowered his head and said into the microphone.
For a moment, the reporters in the audience were excited, finally catching the big news.
Jiang Wen and Feng Pengtong had been arguing for almost a month, with loud thunder and soft rain, and constant harsh words, just like a show.
But Li Mingyang is different!
Fierce personality and no mercy. I really dare to say it, I really dare to do it!
Li Mingyang has been so quiet recently, and the media all suspect that the boss told Li Mingyang to shut up.
Just like Feng Pants back then.
Today’s symposium has made many media reporters more convinced that it was the higher-ups who told Li Mingyang to shut up.
But there is a limit to shutting up.
You can’t just shut up when someone else’s movie is released.
The symposium just ended at noon. Many reporters didn’t take the red envelopes or eat any food. They hurried back to the hotel and the company to catch up on their manuscripts.
Feng Pants’ remarks were posted online in the afternoon.
Various shocking titles to attract attention.
"Feng Xiaogang blasted Li Mingyang, saying that Li Mingyang is not suitable for the film industry."
"Li Mingyang has no interest in movies and focuses on variety shows."
"Xiaogang Pao blasted Li Mingyang Get out of the movie industry.”
"National variety show director Li Mingyang has been blatantly excluded by the film industry."
"Dugu Qiubai shouted to Li Mingyang, hurry up and film the second season of Running. I love watching it, and my whole family loves watching it."
Bouquet Hotel.
When Li Mingyang saw these reports, he felt very complicated...
It has been many years since he saw the mainstream media fanning the flames so much.
Li Mingyang unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, took a sip of water, then picked up the documents on the table, left the apartment on the top floor, and took the elevator to the third floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Li Mingyang saw Jing Tian, who was wearing a white down jacket and blue jeans.
"Honey, have you watched the news?" Jing Tian asked cautiously.
“You said Feng’s pants were arranged by me.”
“Yes.” Jing Tian nodded.
"Let him cry later." Li Mingyang said confidently.
Jing Tian smiled and narrowed his eyes, happily hugged Li Mingyang's neck, kissed him and said, "I knew my husband would still fight for the title."
"Uh... ...Well, I just made him cry, but I didn’t want to win the championship.”
“They all said you can do it!” Jing Tian pouted and said unhappily.
Your Name, Jing Tian is the main heroine.
The scene lasted two minutes longer than Li Mingyang's... Jing Tian was so happy when she saw the finished film. She turned into a female knight that night, and she had never been so hardworking and proactive.
Li Mingyang suffered from back pain the next day.
The physical strength of girls who have danced since elementary school is amazing...especially those who came out of Beijing Dance.
In the summer season, My Beautiful Boss had a total box office of 59 million, losing to Yang Mi’s Gudao which exceeded 100 million.
Jing Tian was not convinced, so he pointed at your name and compared Yang Mi to others.
The higher the box office, the better, and it is best to win the annual championship.
“Fight, the future is uncertain, it’s very dangerous... Let the bullets fly and the publicity expenses will be at least 70 million...”
“Ah, so much!” Jing Tian pouted, there was nothing she could do with so much money.
"This year's Lunar New Year holiday is very complicated. Okay, let's go to the meeting first." Li Mingyang patted Jing Tian's butt.
Jing Tian hummed, holding Li Mingyang's arm and walked towards the conference room.
The marketing expenses for Let the Bullets Fly are really sky-high, and could be enough to make another movie.
Is there moisture?
Definitely, but there is little value in ticket replenishment.
Let the bullets fly and make up for the ticket with a cost of 100 million.
The production cost is 110 million, the publicity cost is 70 million, the total production and publicity cost is 180 million, and an additional 100 million votes are added.
A total of 280 million.
Except the ticket replacement has not been announced, 180 million has been announced.
In other words, to the outside world, it will take at least 540 million to make the money back.
To really make money, you need 840 million.
Jiang Wen played a very big role.
But If You Are the One 2 has a lot of trouble with advertising placement.
Advertising master Feng Pengteng, with his money-grabbing method, allowed major famous companies to spend 80 million on product placement. If You Are the One 2 has already paid back its investment and made a profit before the filming of If You Are the One 2 even started.
In the second part of If You Are the One, Feng Pants put at least one-third of his energy on how to place advertisements.
The effect is pretty good.
Li Mingyang watched If You Are the One 2 a while ago. Overall, it was similar to his previous life. There were so many ads, 16 embedded ads and 14 pre-roll ads.
There are many types of advertising, everything is included.
Then all the 80 million in advertising fees were used by Feng Pants as the promotional expenses for the movie.
Ten million more than letting bullets fly!
These are all announced, and there are even more that are not announced!
After the release of Laughter and Zhao Gu, the box office explosive power they showed made Feng Pengtong feel that Earthquake’s 620 million was unreliable, and that If You Are the One 2 will take the top spot in the year.
The four companies spent money on marketing, which really enriched the marketing companies. As a result, the price of pirated goods is now more than twice as high as at the beginning of the year.
The price of forum hype, Weibo + blog hype, topic + movie review, and video hype has more than tripled.
Li Mingyang really doesn’t want to pay for this unjust money, and really doesn’t want to go with...
