Chapter 232 One billion in three days! A vote is hard to come by! Buy tickets with real name system!
In Han Sanping's view, Longguo's film industry still has a long way to go.
The equipment and scripts are very different.
And the most important thing is, I don’t know the audience’s preferences.
In 2005, there were many people in Long Country who were willing to spend money on entertainment.
Although the economy at this time is far worse than in 2023, there are no higher wages, and there are not so many people watching movies.
But it’s actually because domestic movies are not good enough.
Some foreign movies are still bought by many audiences.
This is also the reason why Han Sanping vigorously develops the film industry.
In the past, films from Hong Kong dominated the market, but now mainland films are on the rise.
But with the opening of the Dragon Kingdom market, Hollywood movies are also taking their share.
Despite the strict review system, good movies are good movies. Before Su Yi was born, movies shot by famous foreign directors also had a great market in the Dragon Kingdom.
So it’s not that the audience has no money to watch movies.
Normally, a movie that lasts no more than two hours costs about 20 yuan.
Many people have the spending power, but domestic movies cannot stimulate the consumption enthusiasm of the Chinese people.
If Han Sanping wants to develop movies, it must produce excellent movies and arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.
Let the Bullets Fly did it. Although it was not a purely commercial movie, it still exceeded 1 billion in box office, leading the Dragon Kingdom's film market into a new era.
Twelve Years a Slave was released abroad, although it also relied on Su Yi's fame to earn more than 900 million in box office.
But it has never been able to resonate with the people of Longguo - but on the Internet, this work has been rated as a masterpiece.
The in-depth analysis begins, and everyone admires Su Yi’s script and directorial abilities.
Although this work only took more than ten days to shoot, and the investment was not high.
But it earned a box office of 1 billion US dollars, which is amazing.
Even for a period of time, the North American media was praising this movie.
Because a person from the Dragon Kingdom has never experienced that period of history and can make such a thrilling movie with just some information and imagination.
Many Hollywood film critics call Su Yi a genius in the film industry.
However, due to the irritation of the Star Flag Government, there are currently not many Hollywood film companies to cooperate.
That is, Warner Bros. Pictures is cooperating with them.
After all, the previous movie caused the government of the Star Flag Country to lose so much money, and they also knew that this was the Dragon Country's counterattack.
Because of the previous diplomacy, they were unable to cancel the movie. This is also some unspoken rule between major powers.
Furthermore, the Star Flag Country is not seriously injured. The money given to those black people is all newly printed money. When the time comes, it will sell more national debt.
But it is true that it is embarrassing internationally.
The most important thing is that they also began to face up to the propaganda power of the Dragon Kingdom.
Logically speaking, this should be their specialty.
After all, they launched similar propaganda during the overseas war.
Nowadays, with this kind of cultural export and propaganda war, Longguo also has the ability to fight back and even take the initiative.
Naturally, Han Sanping was very happy.
But he also knew that although Su Yi did not complete this movie alone.
But without Su Yi, there would never be a movie of this scale.
Investment and cooperation of the three departments.
Two division soldiers crossed the border to shoot.
Although I went overseas for filming, I still built a filming studio in the country.
No way, big scenes can be shot outside, and the post-production will be more sophisticated.
However, the special effects of some shots still have to be shot in a professional studio.
There are also Xu Ke and Wang Fulin’s magnificent large army shots, as well as Lin Chaoxian’s small-scale close-up battles.
And the final emotional pitch - even the Warner Bros. IMAX cameras.
Both are indispensable!
But without the soul figure Su Yi, this movie shooting would not have been possible.
He can't even figure out how the neighboring country agreed to let Su Yi take people to shoot.
It can be considered a feat accomplished!
These things must be known to the audience!
That’s why I was anxious to make an interview documentary on the 6th set.
Take advantage of the heat!
I also hope that the box office of Xiongbing Attack can exceed 600 million!
This way they don’t lose money and still make money.
In fact, if China Film releases a movie, even if it loses money on investment, it can still make a profit in theaters.
"The box office on the first day was 320 million!"
Han Sanping was so happy that he didn't sleep all night.
To be honest, apart from paying salaries to employees, all the money earned by China Film Investment goes to the state.
Because this is a government unit.
So even if it is tens of billions, it essentially does not have much interest relationship with Han Sanping.
But the meaning of this is different.
The box office on the first day was 320 million, directly becoming the first-day box office of the movie!
On the first day, the money invested directly in one department was earned back!
In fact, the reason for such a high box office is not only Su Yi's reputation and people's gratitude to his predecessors, but also IMAX's high box office.
A 3D movie ticket costs 158 yuan, while previous movies only cost 30 yuan!
But what surprised Han Sanping was.
The attendance rate of this 3D version is higher than that of the ordinary hall!
The audience bought it!
The box office has entered a new era, and in the next few years, 3D will also become mainstream!
This is already leading the world!
Although the 3D technology is all foreign, their previous box office performance was not very strong.
This time it is estimated that the whole world has also seen the potential of 3D movies and the Dragon Kingdom market!
No wonder Su Yi keeps insisting, the effect is really awesome!
····
Media.
"The box office on the first day was 320 million! "Changjin Lake" performed strongly! The nearly 4-hour movie is full of sincerity!"
"When our reporter interviewed the audience at the entrance of the cinema, he asked the audience whether they felt Movie tickets are too expensive. Audiences said that the 158 yuan was well spent, and some even wanted to buy a second ticket on the spot! "The performance at the box office on the first day disappointed other competitors. Chen Kaige's new The first-day box office of the movie "Heroes Attack" was 9 million, which was still far from the expected 20 million!"
"What's particularly interesting is that many viewers can't tell which one is directed by Su Yi. Many people bought the wrong tickets!”
“Some people complained on Su Yi’s blog, saying that the latest movie is full of handsome guys and beauties. Although there are emotions, the script is too poor! ”
Chen Kaige is also unlucky.
Although the original Heroes Attack did not have a high box office, it cannot be called a bad movie.
There is also a good restoration of overseas wars.
After all, in the original world, Chen Kaige also participated in the filming of Changjin Lake and Shuimen Bridge, and he had good control over the script of the heroic attack.
However, in 2007, he didn’t have much experience before. He just felt that his emotions could drive the whole movie.
Just like the rabbit, the main thing is about feelings.
The fan effect of celebrities, plus some military explosion scenes.
There is also Su Yi’s previous publicity.
You can definitely get high box office!
Chen Kaige is full of confidence. In fact, if it were not for Su Yi, he would suddenly have to film this movie.
It may also be the box office champion of the year.
But there is no if!
Now Chen Kaige’s movie box office cannot exceed Changjin Lake!
After IMAX’s price was accepted by everyone, Chen Kaige’s movie was destined to fail at the box office.
Just look at how ugly it is.
"Now I know how badly Xu Sanduo performed during the first military exercise! Because he brought two eggs to the squad leader, the heat source was found. Company Commander Gao said in desperation: Pull him out Damn it!
The army really doesn’t have time for people to grow up. If it were a real war, such as when they were lurking in the Wolf Forest Mountains, all their comrades would be dead!”
< br>"Yes, we used to regard Soldier Assault as an inspirational drama, but after connecting it with Changjin Lake, every character became alive! Almost everyone is Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin! Like this Soldiers are perfect!"
"Such a linkage is indeed very meaningful. I want to watch Soldier Assault again! No wonder Chengcai was so excluded before!"
"The movie is really touching! Yes! These are the potatoes I brought home. They were heated in a pot for a long time before I could eat them. I kept crying and felt so sad that it was really difficult for my mother to control them! I was still eating potatoes when I was crying, and I was talking about how this silly girl would get married in the future. It’s so easy to fool a potato like this!”
"It turned out to be all in the textbooks, and when I saw the rabbit, it made me sad. But when I actually saw people falling one by one, it really shocked me."
"We have finished all the battles. , Only those in the background are immune to the baptism of war!"
"Thank you also to Director Su Yi!"
"I felt quite embarrassed, I bumped into the people next to me several times! The effect is really great! How much does it cost to have such an effect?”
“Holy crap! I really want to see the IMAX version! The price is a bit expensive! ”
There are also a lot of discussions online and in real life, and most of them are discussing the plot.
Many people also asked about the quality of the movie and whether the 3D effect was so magical.
After all, 158 movies per movie is not cheap even in 2024.
But there will always be people who try this kind of thing.
Once the effect is good, it will be a blowout.
After all, this is not an era where food is hard to come by, and 158 is not a sky-high price.
Many people went online to inquire, but even more people were grabbing tickets.
On the second day of its release, there were even more people in the cinema.
Many cinemas have begun to add additional shows!
You can add it to the general hall.
But the IMAX version is hard to get a ticket for!
The price of a movie ticket has increased to 258!
Of course, it’s not that movie theaters are increasing prices.
But those scalpers!
These matters are beyond Su Yi's control. He has already suggested to Han Sanping that real-name entry be implemented.
Although it is troublesome, it can prevent scalpers.
The profession of scalpers disrupts the market, and it is easy for the audience to have some bad feelings about the movie.
He turned off his phone, as long as it was a good review.
Su Yi thought that people of this generation were not interested in this subject matter.
I also underestimated the power of my own propaganda.
····
Su family.
"Son, the movie this time is really good! The third uncle also said that he wants to buy a movie ticket from you through some connections!"
Su's father said with a smile.
They also know what this movie means.
When the movie premiered this time, it relied on Su Yi's 'personal relationship'.
Invited the whole family to watch this movie.
To be honest, Father Su is still a little confused.
I didn’t know Su Yi had such rich emotions before.
It seems that this person really gained knowledge after going to college.
My son has also grown up, and his knowledge reserve and insight have far surpassed his own.
“I don’t have any tickets in hand anymore. I’ll help you ask when the time comes.”
Su Yi was a little helpless. He was not in charge of the issue. I managed to get a few tickets because there were many spectators watching.
Movie tickets are so popular nowadays that almost the whole internet is condemning it.
"Don't make it difficult for your son. The closer you are to the system, the more attention you should pay to this kind of thing!" In the name of the people, many agencies and units are always trying to prevent the occurrence of things that use power for personal gain. .
Su Yi is now the director of the Overseas Program Center, so he naturally knows what is going on here.
And there are many people paying attention to Su Yi. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are watching closely.
The purpose is to break Su Yi's golden body.
Although Su Yi is young, he is already a banner.
Many media are also paying attention at all times, waiting for big news!
However, Su Yi is not afraid of their slander. After all, he is still within the system. He is not just a film director. Su Yi does not have to worry about making up random things.
Of course the relevant departments will take action.
In order to gain attention, some media fabricated the story between Su Yi and the three Kuangbiao girls.
And also released a lot of photos.
Before the results could be fermented on the Internet, the officials locked down the news in the shortest possible time.
And also investigate secretly.
As if it had never happened, the editor-in-chief of that media was also arrested and investigated.
Spreading rumors also costs money!
This is also a benefit within the system.
"The popularity of movies cannot remain so high. After all, movie tickets are still very expensive. Then you can watch it casually. Then I will invite people in the yard to watch it."
Su Yi shook his head slightly. He felt that this It's impossible for things to stay popular, after all, IMAX is still very expensive.
"That's okay, I didn't agree to this at first."
Su's father said casually that since the 'bribery incident' of Jiaduobao Group, he has been paying attention to these things Quite concerned.
“Buzz!”
The phone was already starting to light up.
Su Yi looked at the phone. It was from someone from Shanghai Film Studio.
"Su Yi! Movies are very popular now! The leaders above are very happy! The box office in one day is 320 million!"
The deputy director of Shanghai Film Group Corporation sounded excited. He did not expect this. The movie is so powerful.
When they initially made additional investments, they thought it was impossible to make a profit or even lose money.
But even if you have a better relationship with Su Yi, with this little guilt, there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
But what they didn’t expect was that it gave them such a shock.
No wonder everyone was rushing to cooperate with Su Yi.
This is simply a money-making tool!
“Haha. This is not my fault alone. Can we continue to use the copyright of Meiying this time?”
Su Yi smiled.
Because there was no news about the movie before, they were a little anxious.
At that time, Su Yi was busy producing programs for international channels, and it seemed that there was no news from him.
But now that the movie is a hit, they are naturally convinced.
"You can always use Keke Director Su to be generous, so don't be as knowledgeable as us."
The other person was very polite.
It’s not because of Su Yi’s status as the director of the Overseas Program Center.
The two are not a system, they are not adjacent at all.
What he respects is Su Yi’s identity as director!
After this time at Changjin Lake, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one film director in the Dragon Kingdom, right?
It created such a box office miracle and even promoted the development of movies.
At the same time, it also promotes patriotic spiritual education
Only Su Yi shot such a movie at the most appropriate time.
"Director Su Yi, it's like this. We have some relationship with Dongfang Satellite TV. The leaders of both companies also know each other, so I want to invite you to this interview program about movies."
Su Yi smiled helplessly.
Han Sanping was still thinking about getting one for himself.
The director of Dongfang Satellite TV is quite powerful. He found someone from Shanghai Film Studio to intercede.
The movie is now on the air, and various TV stations and companies are beginning to think about how to gain popularity.
“Well, as long as he can invite some people from the Soldier Assault crew, I definitely can’t go.”
Soldier Assault was originally a classic, but now it’s even more popular because of the movie .
It would also be very popular to have the Soldier Assault crew on the show.
The main thing is Su Yi’s authorization.
The copyright is in the hands of China Film, Education, Bayi and Su Yi.
They don’t need to authorize it at the same time, they can all develop some peripherals.
For example, this kind of program is peripheral.
"Okay, thank you so much, Director Su Yi."
Originally, the vice chairman of SIPG was not sure. He didn't have a deep friendship with Su Yi.
I came here with the attitude of giving it a try.
The phone here just hung up, and the call came from the director of Bayiyi.
"Director Su! This movie is very exciting! The chief was very moved after watching it and said that if there is another movie about military themes in the future, it must be directed by Su Yi!"
Director Zhang’s hearty laughter came.
Su Yi coughed twice immediately.
The filming this time was already terrible. To be honest, when they went to the border to shoot the movie, although it was not an extremely cold weather that was rare in 50 years, the soldiers also wore warm clothes underneath.
But for the sake of authenticity, many shots were shot on location without using special effects.
After knowing the script, the soldiers of the two divisions also asked for real filming.
There are even those who don’t wear thermal underwear.
I can understand their feelings, but it’s not necessary.
Because it is too harmful to the body, there is no reason to hurt the bodies of the soldiers unless necessary.
Although the Bayi Factory invested no more money than the other two departments this time.
But it pays the most.
Those retro equipment weapons, tanks and airplanes.
They are all provided and communicated by people from the diplomatic and military departments.
Furthermore, shooting military movies is definitely a job that requires a lot of patience.
Many times, a detail needs to be photographed repeatedly.
"That's so polite. It's all thanks to everyone. International Channel and China Film Group have a program. I think some soldiers should be allowed to go on it! It's also a publicity."
Su Yi thought for a while and sent out the invitation.
"No problem. I have to say that this movie is very exciting. After it is released, people from our military and education departments will make arrangements to show it!"
Director Zhang Said with emotion.
"The movie is so popular right now, so we may have to force the soldiers to wait. I guess it is a good thing that Shanghai Film Festival will apply for an extension."
Su Yi hesitated.
He also feels a bit bad, but the current ability to prevent piracy is too poor. If the source of the film is leaked, it will easily lose the box office.
But at the same time, he also felt that so many soldiers had worked hard to shoot, but not all of them were seen, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
“It’s okay, the chief has arranged to give them extra meals! This time the box office is so big, the dividends will not be less. We can’t pay more to the soldiers, we can only use this method”
The people in the military and the propaganda department are definitely different. Although their Bayi Film Studio is affiliated to one of the eight major film studios, many of their models are still different.
“I am also an honorary director of Bayi Film Studio. I will go and see my comrades when the time comes.”
Su Yi felt warm in his heart.
Who is the cutest person?
What is the People’s Soldiers?
At the time of filming.
They rushed to shoot some dangerous scenes, and they also shed tears because of the plot.
Su Yi was grateful in his heart. There were many people taking pictures, but he was the only one who became famous.
"You will always be our comrade-in-arms. After setting the date, tell me. I believe they will be very happy!"
Director Zhang smiled and felt a lot relieved.
This time I finally have a good relationship with Su Yi.
It’s not that Su Yi can’t do without him, but what he lacks most now is talent!
Especially the script and director!
In the state-owned era, it was once the eight major film studios.
Changying, Beiying, Shangying, Xiying, Zhuying, Xiaoxiang, Bayi, Emei.
There are only a few left now.
Others have been eliminated by history and merged into other enterprises.
As the propaganda agency of the military, Bayi Film and Television naturally wants to attract audiences with the things it shoots.
Two works currently in collaboration with Su Yi.
The purpose of the soldier raid was to recruit troops. After seeing the influence of Natu, Changjin Lake decided to make a film about the overseas war at that time.
Both works are very popular.
While making money, it also allows the leaders above to see the necessity of their existence.
One can imagine the gratitude in Director Zhang’s heart.
Not only them, but also the education sector has also gained a lot.
When Su Yi was filming the collection, there were really many children who didn’t know that the Dragon Boat Festival belonged to the Dragon Kingdom.
And I gradually like to spend Christmas Eve, Christmas and the like.
In this movie, the Dragon Kingdom soldiers eat hard potatoes and wear single clothes.
But those coalition forces were eating turkey and unscrupulously discussing how to take a vacation after the battle!
Even now on the Internet, some people have begun to boycott Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
This festival from the West is originally very lively and bustling, so it’s okay for businesses to hold activities to promote consumption.
But if you regard Western festivals as treasures, you will not know the festivals of your own country.
It’s not the people’s fault, it’s the propaganda’s fault!
From beginning to end, Su Yi was a public welfare director of the publicity department.
Whether it is a documentary, variety show or movie, the core is publicity and public welfare.
The current filming of "Changjin Lake" has successfully eliminated the spread of giving apples on Christmas Eve and asking for gifts on Christmas Day in advance.
One movie, multiple functions.
Shanghai Film, Bayi Factory, education, publicity, everyone is happy!
This is the strength of director Su Yi!
The influence of movies in this era is far greater than imagined.
... Jinhu!”
"A letter from the soldiers of the Ice Sculpture Company, watching hundreds of millions of Chinese people cry!"
"International Channel and CCTV Six invited director Su Yi to answer your questions! Tell you the story of the filming '! ”
The box office was definitely a bit exaggerated in 2007, but compared with the box office popularity brought by Avatar, it seems that it was not exaggerated to the sky. You can think about what the 3D version of Changjin Lake would have been in 2007. Will the box office gross exceed that of the future Monster Hunt? By the way, thank you all for your monthly recommendation votes!
