Chapter 1 Why can't the pattern be opened up a little? (3/4)
"Southern Weekend" has made an interview with Zhang Junsheng for several years, but it has not been passed. "Crazy Stone" has been released recently. A week later, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" will be released soon.
At this time, Yuehua became more and more low-key...
"Southern Weekend" likes to fight against the political axe the most. Although the changes in the top management are no longer as sharp as before, the entertainment sector is still "Citizens of Athens"...
"Southern Weekend" tried to make another appointment, but unexpectedly, Zhang Junsheng agreed and immediately selected his ace entertainment reporter Fang Yiming.
In the morning, Dongcheng District, Nanluoguoxiang, Beijing-style tea shop.
In July, the capital is hot everywhere.
Fortunately, Fang Yiming has long been used to it. After five years of entertainment journalism, he looks brightly dressed, but no one knows what he is so sad...
Compared to daytime, Fang Yiming prefers interviews at night and writes articles. First, there is no constraint on deadlines, and second, it is easier to concentrate when writing articles late at night.
However, under this vicious cycle, Fang Yiming was already 32 years old and still couldn't get married. He was a big surplus!
"320 million...Overseas copyright US$28 million, production cost 12 million..."
"The Red Cliff" has 220 million yuan, and the final box office is 230 million yuan..."
"The domestic revenue of "Crazy Stone" is 80 million, plus TV copyright and video copyright, the revenue exceeds 100 million..."
"That's amazing!"
She was looking through Zhang Junsheng's information.
As a responsible reporter, you must have a clear mind about the interviewees, otherwise, how can you continue to talk?
She has a complete investment income ratio for domestic films. So far, no director has been able to do this like Zhang Junsheng, and can make profits with just the domestic box office!
Ma Xiaokang is not good either. The production cost of "Night Banquet" of $15 million is not enough to rely solely on the domestic box office?
Fang Yiming, who was looking through the information, did not pay attention. Zhang Junsheng had already arrived, waved his hand to the photographer, and automatically reminded him: "Hello, reporter Fang."
Fang Yiming looked up and happened to see Zhang Junsheng's smiling face.
The beautiful black eyes, the frameless glasses emit a warm light, and the facial features are handsome and masculine, just like the perfect statue carefully carved by an artist...
The stranger is like a jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world...
Really, a very beautiful existence!
I couldn't help but blush: "Zhang...Director Zhang..."
...
He sat on the chair casually with his legs raised, and there was a cameraman next to him holding the camera.
Generally, there will be special photographers in formal interviews...
Zhang Junsheng, a white shirt with jeans, is both casual and formal...
Fang Yiming opened the recording pen and placed it on the table, took out the pen and notebook, stabilized his mind, and secretly reminded himself more than ten times, 'I am a professional journalist, I am a professional prostitute', then looked up and asked with a smile: "If you have anything you don't want to answer, you can tell me first."
"I can talk to you, I have nothing to keep secret!"
We all decided to accept an interview. "Crazy Stone" has been released, so what else can we talk about?
"I can talk about the big debate half a month ago, and I will look back on it."
"…Are you saying you were targeted by Zhongying?"
"right!"
"I didn't feel anything special, I was a little disappointed."
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng explained: "I originally thought that after the commercialization of domestic films, everything would be fair competition, but now it seems like a fool!"
"How to say it?"
"Hollywood executives must go to Xiaoxitian when they come to Beijing. What should I do? Of course I am visiting the teacher!"
Fang Yiming nodded, signaled that he knew, and asked again: "Then do you think Yuehua Media has any advantages over China Film and Television?"
“Content creation!”
He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "In fact, the core resources of China Film and Television are not about film and television production, but about industry connections and resources. Some things that state-owned enterprises can do are not something that private enterprises can overcome. Not to mention other things, the import quota of movies is monopolized by China Film and will be ruling the WTO. Do you think the private sector can overcome this obstacle?"
"When state-owned enterprises reformed, we also saw that the decline in state-owned enterprises was revealed. What is the result today? It is not that state-owned enterprises can dominate resources, and use policies if they can use policies, and count the fields and play by themselves!"
"What we can do now is to put more effort into the quality of the movie, that is, to avoid minefields, and to build an open film production platform. That is another situation. Using what we have and avoiding what we have shortcomings is the best strategy, which is difficult, but I believe the future is clear!"
Fang Yiming disagreed: "The principle of distribution of imported films in my country is that one imports and two publishes, China Film and China has the right to distribute imported films, and China Film and Import and Export Company has the right to import, so China Film is not an exclusive monopoly."
"…We bought ten batches of films last year, and only three of them passed the review. This year is even worse. So far, all eight films have been stuck..."
Zhang Junsheng seemed to have said a completely unrelated topic, and Fang Yiming's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
"I didn't say anything..."
In fact, not all of them were stuck. "When Happiness Comes Knocks" has been scheduled for September, but unfortunately I encountered "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight"...
There is no way, this schedule is arranged by the Film Bureau.
China Film and Film is a direct affiliate of the Film Bureau…
Some people want to play with you!
"Sometimes I think about why I can't scale up a little and leave everything to the market!"
“Audiences will tell us what kind of movies they like!”
"Cinemas sell movie tickets, just like airlines, there are not many people flying on this route, so they will naturally be less open. All screenings are based on box office, especially during prime time. Before the film was released, it was based on production and lineup. "Red Cliff" invested 120 million US dollars, with Wu Zhongming, Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, so the number of screenings is naturally large. There is nothing to say. This is the market rule, but four days after it was released, the reputation was very poor, and the box office in a single day was obviously not as good as "Crazy Stone". I don't understand why the screenings of "Crazy Stone" were cut!"
...
"Will you be disappointed if Crazy Stone fails to break the Titanic record at the box office?"
“…Nothing to be disappointed, the box office record of Titanic has also dominated North America for 11 years.”
It’s not that our army is incompetent, it’s that the enemy is too cunning!
"After "Stone", do you have any new plans?"
“…I’m preparing for a spy movie, and it may start filming at the end of the year!”
"Can you talk about Wang Bo? I like him very much!"
"Of course, he is... a powerful actor, the kind who has the chance to be promoted to the top..."
After the two movies of "Tengou" and "Crazy Stone", Wang Bo's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When "Crazy Racing" is released, he will become one of the actors with box office appeal...
"Is the company going to change the contract?"
"...No, we will help set up a personal studio for him, so it can be considered independent!"
independent?
Fang Yiming realized that this was another big news!
"Why do you need to go out on your own?"
"The artists themselves have the conditions for independent development. Yuehua has always been based on content creation. The brokerage business is not skilled. Helping them form a personal studio is also a win-win choice. Every artist can become a partner in the project with us! Not only Wang Bo, as long as his artists have their personal value, they can set up a separate personal studio. We send a team to specialize in his personal career. Moreover, we have too many newcomers, so we must give newcomers some chances!"
Fang Yiming stared at the handsome director in front of him, feeling admiration.
She admires the other party's "silent clouds and gentle winds" most, and Zhang Junsheng's words burst into experience as a mature man.
"That…"
"It's okay, just ask!"
"Can you talk about the girl who attended the premiere of "Red Cliff" with you that day?"
Chapter completed!
