Chapter 65 Light Can't Sit Still (1/4)
Thinking of "The Big Winner", Shen Changlin instantly thought of "Mobile Phone Ringing", "The Holy Love"...
The latter two films also had Li Xiao and Yu Miao as screenwriters, and even directed the works - "The Caller" is a director's work.
These can all be photographed…
By the way, there are also "Lucky Key" and "20 Again"...
This type of medium-sized movies is the foundation that supports a film company's revenue.
Just relying on hot products to make a big difference?
Where do so many popular items come from?
"Chinese Doctor", "Emergency Rescue", including "The Founding of the Army", they all have the potential to become hits, but in the end they didn't become hits!
A group of people want to find the pattern of hot sales, and there is a secret law behind hot sales...
Unless it's a movie universe.
But the movie universe is never that easy to build.
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" can completely create a universe of gods, and the light is also made according to this...
What's the result?
It is better to focus on mid- to low-cost genre films first, and then focus on large-scale production genres.
Even if the results are not good, everything will not be lost!
Li Xiao and Yu Miao will definitely be included in their team...
After all, the results of those three movies were pretty good...
…
Changlin Film and Television released this year "I Am a Witness", "BJ Meets Seattle", "The Thieves", "Inner Beauty"...
All are box office hits and have good reviews.
Also about to be released are "The Year in a Hurry", "Dear Child", "Xiu Chun Dao 3", and "Charlotte Trouble".

Projects under development include "Going to See You Now", which has been directed by Han Yan and tentatively starring Wan Qian + Huang Bo;
"20 Again", "Something More Sad Than Sad";
"Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", "The Band of Thieves 2", "The Treasure Hunt", "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart", "Operation Mekong", "Big Shot: Operation Ice Breaker"...
Plus “The Meg”…
This is news released to the outside world. In fact, the projects under development include Ning Hao's "The Flowers of the Heart", Han Han's "Unexpected", Ning Hao is eyeing "Manslaughter", "The Tuner"...
Amou is working on "International Market", "Su Dongpo"...
Including science fiction movie planning has already been in the process!
The shooting plan for the next three years has basically been released. Shen Changlin is worried about the director, but his partner Guangguang is worried that Changlin Film and Television has refused to renew the contract!
The priority investment agreement signed previously has expired, and the exclusive distribution agreement will almost expire by the end of this year...
In the Chinese film market, distribution is very simple!
Especially for Changlin Film and Television - they have already formed a brand advantage...
Moreover, after Shen Changlin spent 300 million, Maoyan has developed rapidly and has reached online ticket sales agreements with more than 3,000 theaters across the country.
The traditional model is that the film studio provides the film, sells tickets through the theater, and then the audience pays to purchase it, thereby achieving the box office of a film - this is a normal ecological chain.
Underground network promotion is to win over theater managers in major cities and ask them to arrange more films on the first day...
That…
Now it is completely possible to increase the film schedule of the previous few days through ticket replenishment behavior, which not only creates the phenomenon of high box office, but also crowds out competing films in the same period.
Even if it is cancelled, it will take at least three years - a lot of theaters were built because of ticket replacement!
As for Maoyan burning money?
Shen Changlin has already started negotiations with Tengxun - online ticket purchasing requires a payment channel, and merging with Weipiaoer is the best choice!
Shen Changlin did not hide this from Wang Changtian, and he had already said in "Dialogue" before that "Maoyan can seamlessly switch distribution companies"...
If Maoyan is converted into a distribution company, then...does Changlin Film and Television still need lighting?
Combined with the fact that this time "The Meg" includes "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Operation Mekong", the development of three projects was not notified at all...
This is about to be cut!
Lao Wang couldn't accept it - Guangguang has transformed into film production, although it has also trained new directors, cooperating with Chen Kexin, Zhao Bafei...
But most of Enlight’s revenue comes from its cooperation with Changlin Film and Television!
Especially distribution.
But he knew that Shen Changlin already cared about his old relationship, otherwise the three major productions of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", "The Band of Thieves 2" and "The Treasure Hunters" would not have known about the company at all.
He doesn't lack money, nor does he lack people who like his movies...
But he still came...
There is no way, there is really no substitute for the light...
Visited in person!
…
Shen Changlin is chatting with Yu Miao and Li Xiao about "The Winner".
"First of all, the Korean version definitely cannot be filmed directly. In our film market, if you are willful, you will not survive!"
"The setting of the male protagonist is rigorous and rigorous in doing things. I have seen someone complaining about his colleagues on the Internet before. He hates pretentiousness. It should have been easy to get over it, but he chose to be more serious, causing the entire team to get off work late. .Is this kind of person wrong? Is he regarded as a monster by us, or should he deserve our respect?"
"We can make him a veteran..."
"Secondly, when piling up jokes, we must pay more attention to the farce effect... This is a comedy. Once it breaks away from comedy, the movie will not be able to pass the review!"
"Finally...this project is left to you two!"
Yu Miao, who was still memorizing things, was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little cautiously: "Did you give the script to us?"
"No, I mean shooting... don't worry, movie shooting is not that difficult. The script determines the lower limit, the lens, and the way of telling the story determine the upper limit... As long as the script is passed, and you cooperate with experienced executive directors and producers, you will find That’s what making a movie is all about!”
Li Xiao was a little excited, but also a little worried: "But...but we have no shooting experience..."
"It's okay. The actors I've found for you this time are all from our company. Just think of it as gaining experience...and haven't you been with the group before?"
"Director Shen, can I ask who you want to find as the leading actor?"
Shen Changlin scratched his head: "Originally I wanted to find Qiao Shan, but he didn't look serious at all... Let's go with Zhang Yi. He happens to be a veteran and meets the rigorous professional setting."
"Teacher Zhang Yi..."
"The heroine Shi Shi is very interested..."
Li Xiao and Yu Miao suddenly felt great pressure.
These...these are top-notch actors!
"Photographer...Teacher Song Xiaofei, he just finished filming Ning Hao's "Death-defying Encounter" recently. You can communicate with him. He is very experienced..."
Why not just ask Song Xiaofei to be the director...
This is not because I am worried that he will get sick - I want the audience to sit in their chairs and quietly enjoy this emotional story, rather than watching it while eating. If I were the director of that drama, I would have a strong sense of frustration!
Gee, eating and watching a drama at the same time actually makes you feel... frustrated?
(Taken from an interview with "Swordsman in the Snow")
Song Xiaofei is also a top photographer - he has a lot of masterpieces, including "Bullfighting", "Killing Life", "Thailand", and yes, he also did photography for "The Grandmaster" for a period of time...
Not only Li Xiao was a little nervous now, but even Yu Miao couldn't sit still: "Teacher Song is the photographer..."
The behind-the-scenes lineup and the cast are so strong...if it fails, I may have to bid farewell to the film industry completely!
Shen Changlin didn't take it seriously and continued: "Yu Miao, you studied finance before. You can discuss with your former friends whether it is possible to rob a bank..."
"Director Shen, how did you know that I studied finance before?"
Shen Changlin smiled: "...Since I want to ask you two to do this scene, I must study your resume..."
While they were chatting, the staff knocked on the door, walked up to Shen Changlin and whispered: "Boss, Mr. Wang is outside..."
"Which Mr. Wang?"
Chapter completed!
