After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 317: Film Symposium, Fanning the Flames
12 month 8 day.

China Film Group held a grand film symposium in Yanbei, with hundreds of mainstream media and online media in attendance.

Attending the symposium were not only Internet giants such as Jack Ma, Pony Ma, Li Yanhong, Zhang Chaoyang, Gu Yongqiang, and Wang Xing.

There were three single sofas on each side of the stage, on which sat Zhou Xingxing, Zhang Yimou, Er Dongshen, Lu Sang, Jiang Wen, and Feng Pants.

The six directors are all extremely famous directors...

However, the media at the scene all had strange expressions on their faces, because according to the notice they had received, Li Mingyang would also be there.

But Li Mingyang did not come and was replaced by Lu Sang.

It was announced to the public that a premiere was being held, but in fact, the premiere of Your Name is tomorrow, and has nothing to do with today.

Li Mingyang was not present, but Wang Changtian, chairman of Light Media, was and sat with 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 at the top, surrounded by a number of senior executives of China Film Group Corporation, as well as leaders from the Film Bureau and Radio, Film and Television Administration.

The symposium was hosted by Xiao Sa.

Today's topic was very harmonious, with everyone expressing their opinions on the current situation of domestic films.

Today's symposium is for Internet giants. No one wants to listen to talk about art and culture.

After Zuoshandiao made the announcement, all the directors had a clear idea of ​​what to say.

Zhou Xingxing, who is usually taciturn, broke with his usual habit this time and talked a lot about the broad prospects of the mainland film market, citing the recent "Da Xiao" and "Zhao Gu" as examples.

If piracy can be controlled under the premise of ticket subsidies, there will be domestic films with a box office of over 1 billion yuan in the country next year.

The capital, media, directors and actors present all believed in Zhou Xingxing's words.

"I don't agree with Director Zhou's opinion." Jiang Wen raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Xingxing's words. For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Wen.

“You don’t have to wait until next year, it will appear this year.”

Zhou Xingxing smiled and didn't say anything. He just said what he wanted to say. As for whether people agree with him or not, that is other people's business.

"Director Jiang, the year is almost over. Which movie do you think is qualified?" Feng Kuzi said sarcastically.

"That's for sure, haha!"

"Tell me."

Jiang Wen and Feng Kuzi haven't held many press conferences recently, but on Weibo, the two of them have been fighting fiercely.

Not like a friend at all, more like an enemy.

"It must be one of you and me."

Feng Kuazi wanted to say something while holding the microphone, but hesitated for a while and said with a smile: "I don't think there will be a domestic movie with a billion this year, but there will definitely be a domestic actor with a billion. Ge You is very busy this month, with Orphan of Zhao at the beginning of the month and Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2 in the middle of the month."

Jiang Wen smiled and did not respond to Feng Kuzi's words. Instead, he talked about the future of domestic films.

different from others.

Jiang Wen is a boastful person who brags without thinking.

Other directors’ box office revenue caps at 1 billion, but he directly competes with Hollywood films with domestic films. Within five years, there will be domestic films with box office revenues of 2 billion or 3 billion in the mainland film market.

If someone else says what he says, they will feel like they are bragging.

But when Jiang Wen said that, it felt different. Maybe he could really do it.

Jiang Wen's words have a magical power that convinces people.

Soon all the directors had finished speaking and the random interview session began.

The director and the host are in the same group, but the media below are not.

Xiao Sa pointed to a reporter from CCTV 6, and the other party pointed the gun directly at Lu Sang.

"The notice I received said that Director Li would be there today, but I didn't see him. Director Lu replaced Director Li. I cannot accept the fact that Director Lu replaced Director Li. Can the organizer give me an explanation?"

Lu Sang raised the microphone and said with a smile: "I was also given the task in a time of crisis."

A few short words resolved the awkwardness and gave the other party a suitable reason.

Big directors, even those who have been promoted, are all good at speaking.

The next few questions all focused on Zhang Yimou’s new movie The Flowers of War.

Zhang Yimou answered them one by one with a very calm attitude.

"Director Feng, who do you think is the biggest rival in the Lunar New Year box office? Is it Director Jiang's Let the Bullets Fly, or Director Li's Your Name?"

"He doesn't seem to be qualified to compete with me. He has to make over 100 million at the box office first." Feng Kuazi glanced at Jiang Wen and said arrogantly.

Jiang Wen wanted to say something, but then he put the phone back.

Jiang Wen didn't want to say it, but the reporters wanted to hear it.

So the reporter didn't sit down, but asked Jiang Wen the same question again.

"I don't think I have any opponent. My biggest opponent is myself. Of course, if I have to pick one, I would choose Director Li, he is really good at playing basketball," said Jiang Wen.

"Variety shows are also well-made. Running Man is really good and I love watching it. If there is a second season of Running Man, I will definitely continue to support it." Feng Kuazi continued.

"It's really amazing, a ratings legend." Lu Sang said.

The other directors looked at each other and didn't respond.

This means that Li Mingyang is more suitable to be a variety show director rather than a film director.

The directors saw it, and the reporters in the audience heard it too.

A cunning reporter asked, "Director Feng, can your words just now be interpreted as you think Li Mingyang is not suitable to be a movie director, but more suitable to be a variety show director?"

"That's about right." Feng Kuazi glanced at the microphone and lowered his head to speak into it.

For a moment, all the reporters in the audience were excited. They finally caught big news.

Jiang Wen and Feng Kuzi had been arguing for nearly a month, and it was all thunder and lightning, with constant harsh words, like a show.

But Li Mingyang is different!
Hot-tempered and merciless. He is bold in what he says and what he does!
Li Mingyang has been so quiet recently that the media all suspected that his superiors had told him to shut up.

Just like Feng Pants back then.

Today's symposium 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 keeping your mouth shut.

You can't just keep silent when someone else's movie is released.

The symposium just ended at noon. Many reporters didn't even take the red envelopes or eat their meals. They hurried back to the hotel and the company to finish their manuscripts.

In the afternoon, Feng Kuazi’s remarks were posted online.

Various shocking headlines attract attention.

"Feng Xiaogang criticized Li Mingyang, saying that Li Mingyang is not suitable for the film industry."

"Li Mingyang has no interest in movies and is focused on variety shows."

"Little Cannon calls on Li Mingyang to get out of the film industry."

"National variety show director Li Mingyang was openly excluded by the film industry."

"Dugu Qiubai called out to Li Mingyang, please hurry up and shoot the second season of Running Man. I love watching it, and my whole family loves watching it."

Bouquet Hotel.

When Li Mingyang saw these reports, he felt very complicated...

He hadn't seen the mainstream media so fanning the flames in many years.

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 Kuazi arranged my work."

"Yeah." Jing Tian nodded.

"Let him cry later." Li Mingyang said confidently.

Jing Tian narrowed her eyes in a smile, happily hugged Li Mingyang's neck, kissed him and said, "I knew my husband would still fight for this annual championship."

"Um... well, I just wanted to make him cry, but I didn't want to win the annual championship."

"They all say you can do it! Why don't you try?" Jing Tian said unhappily with a pout.

Your Name, Jing Tian is the heroine.

Her role was two minutes longer than Li Mingyang's... Jing Tian was so happy when she saw the finished film. She transformed herself into a female knight that night and had never been so hard-working and proactive.

Li Mingyang suffered from back pain the next day.

Girls who have been dancing since elementary school have amazing physical strength...especially those who graduated from Beijing Dance Academy.

During the summer season, My Beautiful Boss grossed 5900 million, losing to Yang Mi's The Island which grossed over million.

Jing Tian was very unconvinced, so he pointed at your name and compared yourself to Yang Mi.

The higher the box office, the better, and it would be best if it could win the annual championship.

"Fight, the future is uncertain, it's very dangerous... Let the Bullets Fly will cost at least 70 million just for publicity..."

"Ah, so much!" Jing Tian curled her lips. She was powerless with so much money.

"This year's Lunar New Year box office 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 meeting room.

The marketing costs of Let the Bullets Fly are truly sky-high, enough to make another movie.

Is there any moisture?

Of course there is, but the ticket subsidies are not that valuable.

Let the Bullets Fly also spent 100 million on ticket subsidies.

The production cost is 1.1 million yuan, the publicity and promotion cost is 7000 million yuan, the total production and publicity cost is 1.8 million yuan, plus 1 million yuan in ticket subsidies.

A total of 2.8 million.

Except for the ticket subsidy, the 1.8 million has been announced.

In other words, Let the Bullets Fly must reach at least 5.4 million to break even.

But to really make money, it would cost 8.4 million.

Jiang Wen made a big deal with this bet.

If You Are the One 2 has made great use of advertising placement.

Advertising master Feng Kuzi, with his unparalleled money-making skills, made major companies spend 8000 million on product placement. The investment in If You Are the One 2 was recovered and profitable before the filming even started.

In the second season of If You Are the One, Feng Kuzi focused at least one-third of his energy on how to insert advertisements.

The effect is quite good.

Li Mingyang watched If You Are the One 2 a while ago. Overall, it was similar to the previous one. There were too many advertisements, 16 embedded advertisements and 14 patch advertisements.

There are many different types of ads, covering everything.

Then, the 8000 million advertising fees were used by Feng Kuazi as the promotion and marketing expenses for the movie.

Ten million more than Let the Bullets Fly!

These are all the information that has been announced, and there are many more that have not been announced!
After the release of Big Laugh and Zhao Gu, the explosive box office performance made Feng Kuzi feel that the 6.2 million of Big Earthquake was unreliable, and he would use If You Are the One 2 to win the annual championship.

The four companies have invested a lot of money in marketing, which has really enriched those involved in marketing, resulting in the price of water armies being more than twice as high as at the beginning of the year.

The prices for forum hype, Weibo + blog hype, special topics + film reviews, and video hype have more than tripled.

Li Mingyang really didn't want to pay this unfair money, and he really didn't want to...
